It's not that bad because there's so many sources you can get it from
right its ARR that is worse than ShB
Would I be able to solo Limitless Blue EX?
yes
ARR is the worst grind out of any relic
just keep in mind, you need to burst one of the suwana before p2
what level are you
WHM ARR relic looks easy enough
you should be able to
so save your big hitting skills for that
during ad phase instantly blow one of them up
Suwana? The part where the tanks have to seperate the adds?
neato, thanks
if you're SMN
i just remember this being a cutscene fight
go DWT --> death flare into bahamut + akh morn
You are fighting a whale
When i'm doing dungeons with a party and i'm attacking a group of enemies i always click on my teammates instead of the enemies because they are always in front of them and i can't switch the target unless i move far away. Is there something to prevent that?
Tab target
tab should just target an enemy
isn't there a button that makes it so that you don't click on people's names I think that's more what he's asking
tab target?
if you press tab it auto targets the nearest enemy
oh that made my live arround 6 times easier playing tank
@chilly veldt
thanks
but yeah if you don't want to do that tab target
or play with your camera angle up high
i tried pressing x but it is only active while i'm holding it isn't there a way to make it permanet?
7th
Every cutscene when I enter a new zone in Stormblood the characters are doing a slow motion walk. Are they trying to imitate Bay Watch? It looks so ridiculous..
THANKS
Has every cutscene been like this since ARR? I never noticed until now and cringe ever time i see it.
so, where's the mission start for the man in black?
If hated doing dungeons because of that
Nowhere
It's gone
You missed the event
the ffxv event ended a while ago.
damn it
seasonal items they'll usually put on the mog station
if its not then they might rerun it
Oh and could a Paladin help me set up some macros and a good rotation? Would really appreciate it.
Only macro you might need is Shirk
As for rotations
These are the basic ones from Balance
It's 63s long, so to make it 60s you just drop 1 holy spirit from magic window
Is there a more fitting rotation for a level 31? I don't think i have unlocked half of those abilities.
press fight or flight, press combo
At that level i'm pretty sure you just do 123 and fof
don't use shield bash or shield lob for damage
and do your job quests
use AoE for 2+ enemies
You can find the updated guide at: [Endwalker Guide Still in Production]
What is Legacy? Legacy is for when a guide is no longer relevant, but is here to show everyone what the job used to be like. Rather than being rid of this guide, I am seeking to preserve history of both my own content and the content of FFXIV. The game is always evolving b...
shield bash is used for CC, shield lob for aggro
ok thanks i'll keep that in mind
if you position yourself right
you can run through like a group of 3
and do 3 aoes
instead of 3 shield lobs
it takes a bit of practice to get the timing right though
Usually you won't have to do much as you pull, if you lose aggro on a mob you can throw a provoke and it will come to you
Paladin has the benefit of later being able to use Circle of Scorn to immediately apply an AoE dot on nearby enemies
Ah ok nice
how do gatherer collectables work? i cant find this in the marked location
i just realised i was looking at the botanist location
You want Rarefied items for normal collectibles
i think this is rarefied
It's not
zhloe was asking for it
ah. it said i have 6 remaining so that makes sense
how do i increase collectability while gathering? is it something to do with HQ chance
ty
What is the best dungeon to do at level 30?
The highest level one you can do
Haukke
Where is it?
Story
oh
damn
Is there a way to autosort inventory
open inventory right clikc on an item hit sort
Thank you!

Is there a good way to farm gil?
Maps in a group too
My group usually leaves with 500k+ raw Gil and after stuff sells another 2-5mil
5 million gil? damn i barely scrape together 1k
this is a bit unrelated
but does anyone use Gshade?
When entering game the prompt does not pop up and shift +F2 does not do anything
hey can anyone help me find a website I cant remember the name of - it was VERY similar to lalaachievments but it also let you track dungeons so you can tell if you've missed any
Is it worth using materia on gears when around lv 35?
nope
Ok, thanks!
this? https://xivtodo.com/
Hey guys
What are the best stats for agumented law and order wepon? - I just got the Whm one
Crit det sps
thank you
Is there a way to disable 1 time password???
Remove it
Is it in my account settings?
Someone said I could do leves with my culinary at christarium and get a lot of Gil that way. Is it true
Good thing I got it to see 60. Hurtful that I have to do culinary twice. Irl and in game
It is being nerfed in endwalker so better make them all quickly
@regal pawn thanks
What are these for? I've just been collecting them ._.
Vendoring
Free money
when the game felt the need to give you items instead of direct gold
Is there a way I can dye every armor piece at once?
No
You can also use them in the Doman Enclave to upgrade it.
Whats the point of wards?
housing wards?
Yea
More space for housing plots.
separate instances so they're not all concentrated in one giant area that'll be congested constantly
No I mean do they have practical use or are they just for show? Like cosmetics
And so.the servers can actually handle ot
The servers physically can't handle more than that amount of data
housing has some practical uses but for the most part it's purely cosmetic
like you can garden
and
that's really it
Oh ok thanks
ccan i buy a crystal bell for my room?
what about a glam dresser?
what is a challenge log item ?
fastest way to fill this thing ? solo

this is what the post says about lvling classes what does he mean
Entries, items. same diff
!faq anima
how do i do those in all of these things
Look in the challenge log
i see i havent even unlocked it ?
You open the challenge log and you do the entires on the class you want the reward on
oh
please just in summary
hmm
!quest Rising to the Challenge
challenge log is not that good for leveling imo

It is very good
That’s a lie
It's free weekly xp
even at higher lvls?
Free percentage based exp
It's always good
I'm sorry I lied
oh my bad, im thinking about the hunting log
....
tl;Dr a9s unsynced
It's free xp for stuff you're already doing
No
no, you use party finder
And prepping challenge logs is one part of getting reaper/sage to 80 faster
Why
It's literally so much faster it's worth waiting in party finder
because pf takes time
Doing unsync dungeons will take 5 times longer
People join light farms all the time
Brayflox hard for solo
ok Thanks
when you buy a job boost is it supposed to go to your mail instantly
so i am at the altar and the officer doesnt have any quest available
No

Rising to the Challenge
anyone got an idea why i cant take this quest yet?
That’s msq
its a required quest
Upper limsa
for the challenge log one
Call of the Sea was story
cuz i went there and i couldnt find the quest
on the map at least
i placed a flag in the coordinates of the quest and on the map there wasnt a quest there with that name so ive no idea what im missing here
Look at your logs
challenge log isnt there
Then check your journal or go to the npc themselves
valuable or sell to vendor ?
sell on mb
always sell on mb for everything that is sellable, it will usually be higher
faded scrolls probably not
always price check stuff, scrolls can be restored to actually be usable but that costs money and is usually only worth it on popular / rare orchestrion scrolls
for that one, probably not
ok im dumb
Some of the Crystal Tower rolls can be turned into Eternal Wind, but it's not terribly well marked, so those might be worth something if crafted.
i found the quest xd
But if it's not one of the Eternal Wind ones, you'll get the most money by selling it to the vendors.
really not sure if this is where i should ask this but here goes: do you guys think the pre-order billing for endwalker will follow suit with the delay? like, originally the pre-orders where going to be billed at the time of release, as in november.
Yes they wil
aight
How hard are the Eden Dungeons? Something you can do with randos?
Eden Normal yes
yes
Just queue
All normal content is designed to be doable blind in DF
The exceptions are Coils and like 1 trial from ARR
You might wipe a couple times, but you can get through it. I did.
you should get through it
Yeah, I had to explain to a friend recently that the reason she can't get a group for Odin in DF is that Odin is an unmarked EX.
hey i know recollection stage doesn't have replica until you complete augmented law, what about the stages after that do you need to finish the entire relic for them,?
That's what I though, but I wanted to double check.
Once you get to Basic Law's, you should be able to make reco replica
It goes from augmented law order directly into blades
and once you do Augmented law's, you get basic law's
Once you get Blade's, you can get all replicas
The 180 step doesn't change the look
You never actually get the non glowing version of blades, only via its replica
@regal pawnunfortunately no, i have law order on my pala but only the first first wep is there
pretty sure recollection needs augmented law
huh

Have you put in the code?
is it a good idea to prepare a full set of DRG gear (augmented scaevan) for reaper ?
it's not an awful idea
but it'll come with a basic set of gear like every other expansion job
so it's not wholely necessary
yeah i thought so
You could prepare Scaevan and Malikah's gear sets (70 and 77 respectively)
And you could grab some 80 gear like exarchic maiming or just cryptlurker
also new gear will be out
totally not what i'm doing, no never
you might as well wait to get cryptlurker until it costs poetics
i mean..
am not gonna be doing hard content week 1
It's to make leveling easier
i should just take my time
assuming you'd do dungeons or something 
cryptlurker would be useless for hard content anyway
is there a way to set msq duty difficulty when starting it for the first time or do i have to fail it to change the difficulty ?
since it'd be massively outleveled
gotta fail
@pearl mesa ya it works on the ff 14 launcher but it dosent work when i launch it through steam
that's for 89
thanks
RDM at 70
GNB at 80
am not sure
yeah but it's not job gear
but if am going to level reeaper and sage in Bozjan
i will be automatically synced
right ?
Sage is fully doable in dungeons fyi
Queues will not be terrible and it might even end up faster
but yeah, if you're doing bozja then no need to worry about gear
except for 80 gear
even if you intend to do bozja for leveling
you should have a set of 80 gear prepped for them
so buy the crafted gear?
i would just get cryptlurker
Crypt with poetics
this
from where ?
there'll be a blue bag npc near the aetheryte in Crystarium probs
lol no
no
yeah i will need around 6k
It'll at best get you a weapon, a chest piece and maybe pants
full set is roughly 4k
That
maybe cap my self and ready a book like this
As you can convert them into poetics
Assuming you get poetics on the week before EW, sure
If you don't, Revelations
As long as you got 2k before EW comes out, you can use it for gear
Buy gear now but stop spending on the 23rd and cap
what gear
As 2 weeks of revelation cap is 1800
Cryptlurker
isnt that in EW ?
No
Poetics gear is the expansion's best tomestone gear
For ARR that would be Ironworks
Shire for HW
Scaevan for STB

Currently hte best Tomestone gear is Cryptlurker
can you pause palace of the dead? im in the middle of my run and i want to take a break
And it will be converted to Poetics in endwalker
gotta finish the 10 set
from where ?
Aymark
omw
and then do Nier Raids for coins to augment it
ok, ty.
Row of 5 npcs in Upper eulmore
these ?
3 types of coins ?
Yes
how many for each piece ?
so i need 11-11-11
Basically yes
ye
Yes
so run each raid 11 times
Yes
Though keep in mind
i should just buy whatever i can with reve
You can always just run it enough so that you can buy the rest of the gear with poetics

its been 30h with no sleep
so my brain is kinda meh now
isnt the gear from reve better ?
It's the same gear
the scaevan ?
Cryptlurker
how long does it take to get lvl 20 with my chocobo?
cause i have 20 days of playtime and its lvl 5

so i can buy the crypt gear with poetics.. but only after EW release ?
yes
so but what i can now with reves
Buy Cryptlurker
and the rest if at release
Revelation will be able to be converted into poetics at a 2:1 ratio
But the price of cryptlurker won't go down by 50%, more around 20-30% so it's more efficient tome wise to buy Cryptlurker now
Do I need to queue ||Cinder Drift|| (ShB trial name) in the party finder or am I ok for queuing up for it regularly?
you only need to do extreme and savage fights in party finder
I saw someone was on the party finder for it earlier and I thought I would need to do that too
so as i said.. buy what i can using reve, and when EW releases i can get the rest using poetics
Yes
so i can buy chest piece only or maybe 2 or 3 pieces
Are we currently able to purchase an edition of FFXIV that comes with all expansions including EW?
Starter + endwalker
not sure whats better
What's the price?
EW complete isn’t out yet
60$ AS standard
Also, How are the Metallic/Metal dyes obtained?
@faint flare got the helmet and the feet,
2k should get me chest weapon and pants
2k poetics
ty for the help
Venture coffers
From quick ventures
Randomly
I don't even know what that is lol
So market board
So you send your retainers off to get things
Ah, I can't do that yet, now I understand lol
If you’re lucky, you can get one from a fete box
Where can i find a website that shows the current population and what each server is known for?
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
All content is cross data center so your choice is basically completely arbitrary
Long version
can i respec my companion chocobo?
i can't find the right mch rotation 😦
yes, you need a reagan pepper to do so. can be bought with allied seals (20), or grand company seals (48k)
oh damn the gc seals seem expensive
It’s real easy to get them once you get to 60+ dungeons
Caveat being at higher levels
the allied seals version is arguably the easier one to get, even at higher levels
as you just need to do the weekly hunt bill for ARR and you've got 5 easy though dont need it realistically
Which character has fast paced action? Like very fast. so that it doesn't feel like you have to wait 2 seconds between each combo
can my friend get in car without being in party?
No
aight thx
Monk has the fastest gcd
They’re called Global cool downs for a reason
Okay imma take a look into monk, thank you!
All jobs get stuff to.weave inbetween skills at higher levels
So you're not just waiting everytime
But monk still has the best between all those at max level?
Monks gcd at max is like 1.9
And what does machinist have if I may ask?
anyone know what website lets you see what models are shared between gear. im dumb af and cant find it on the wikis ive seen
You aren't going to get anything near Black Desert if that's your thought process lol
For a brief moment of.rapidness
Garlandtools
tyvm :D
Okay thank you!
How do I get pastel pink dye
I assume bard’s has wild variation
Mog shop, or gold Chocobo feathers I'm pretty sure
can also buy from the marketboard
or buy from mogstation if you feel like spending real money
anyone know which water venture has the highest chance to yield a fat cat minion

Where do I look up white mage builds because I don’t know anything good
!faq balance
Has stat priorities
where in the settings do i have to go to change players name colors
Is there a way I can see when I first started FFXIV? Official website version, not Steam or PS
Anyone know the idea potion to buy as a melee dps (samurai)
wanted to get more dmg in my rotation
I do not think you can change colors, as they are already separate indications between party, alliance, etc.
But there are so many different potions
tier 4 tincture of strength
Strength pots
but unless you're doing high end content it doesn't really matter
Log into lodestone, see your first achievement
Can the entire Hildebrand questline be completed in the free trial, or will it eventually be level/SB|SHB locked?
Can you play RDM/SAM without buying Stormblood?
No
no to both of you
2 out of 3 parts are in the trial
the stormblood parts require you to buy something
Thank you
when can i enter the western part of central shroud thru gridania and not make a roundabout to north shroud?
Ok, I just finally finished the free trial MSQ, now I'm thinking of either buying now, or doing a few things before.
do I need to unlock "Twine" before I can get this Aether Current at "Mord Souq"
Yes
ok thanks
Hello everyone, is there a way to cycle between two hotbars and two hotbars only?
Character Config > hotbar settings > custom > set selection
You can still manually switch to unselected crossbar sets
What’s the checkpoint floors for HoH?
21
Thanks
Thank you very much, you saved me 😄
is the howling eye good for levelling
No
All trials give basically no xp
crying because i dont want to do dzemael
Can you do friendly 1v1 duels with friends?
Thanks
Just keep doing stone vigil that's what I do when I don't feel like crystalized hell
aight thanks
I keep hearing this. Is there going to be new 8 players dungeons in EW? ( I'm NOT referring to trials and raids )
Unknown
No
But afaik no
They pretty much learned to never do 8man dungeons again
They have been hinting at reworking the 2 that do exist anyways but anything like that will be post 6.0 anyways
Thought so. Was surprised to hear someone saying there will be in EW
if they do make an 8 person dungeon
they won't have long cutscenes
otherwise we'd have another praetorium
Agreed. 8 players dungeons are fun
Only without much cutscenes and increased difficulty
I think so
Anyway i just came to be sure of whats coming
With how tanks work now it would be awkward to try make 8 man dungeons anything like modern dungeons
You'll just solo tank it and mow it down
There wouldn't be many differences between 8 and 4man dungeons
Outside of potential boss mechanics
But then you just have a trial with extra steps
I think it'd be interesting if there was like CLL or Dalriada-esque sections where you split off

what should i do for leveling while i wait for duties?
If I buy a boost for my retainer, and want that retainer to be a botanist, do I need to have a level 70 botanist to get the full boost?
yes
hey how many mobs for aoe rotation with drg?
otherwise it'll just boost as far as it can towards 70 but stop at whatever your BTN level is
3 or more enemies
thanks
Trying to get to second flame lieutenant I'm grand company but it says I need to complete a trial and rank 2 I'm hunter log. I already did the hunter log so where can I find the trial?
The person that is supposed to give trial isn't giving
you already did the aurum vale? with the quest you needed to get 2nd lieutenant?
I did aurum vale with the quest I'm pretty sure
Because I needed to go there to unlock the dungeon previously
is using this mid fight while still have blue gauge on do anything or useless?
so you've got the quest "Gilding the Bilious (Immortal Flames)", you've spoken to the dude outside the Aurum Vale, and then you've done th dungeon again?
unless you have to refresh the buff because you won't hit fang and claw/wheeling thrust in time... yes, it's useless
in fact it will be removed in Endwalker and just be a permanently active buff
it just refreshes the timer
thank you
so if you're about to lose it like during an add phase or something, pop it and hope it goes through, that's what I use it for
I have the quest "Gliding thr Bulious" finished. Just checked my completed quests and the people outside of the dungeon. Nobody there
Wait I'll redo the dungeon and let you know
if you've done that quest, you should be able to get second lieutenant
so what does it say when you try to get the promotion?
I'll show you
Okay I see I did the hunting log not the one in the challenge log
how do I do frontlines? I hear they give really good XP
all good, enjoy ^^
you can unlock it by going to your grand company and take the blue quest <a pup no longer> (for unlock wolf's den if you have not) then < Like Civilized Men and Women (Company name)>
Then you select it on the roulette tab
And no pvp for free trial
So, which is easier to get, the Dal Dino or the Eldthurs
Without using market board
In terms of strict rng
Also which is easier to grind

Dal because more people are running dal
Yeah but dal can take forever, and is on a like 30 minutes to an hour cooldown
Assuming you're already at pyros
Wouldn't it be easier to do happy bunnies than do Dal a billion times?
you might have to do happy bunny a billion times for one eld
Same with Dal
it’s multiple layers of rng for both but at least you can speed up Dal’s spawn or have Dal speed run and is engaging. And you get more not worthless stuff running Dal ~ bunny is ... waiting 20 min for a quick 2 3 button presses then for... nothing usually
Happy bunnies can also lead to dangerous spots
So, when does the sale for the Complete Edition of FFXIV end? I kinda want to get that at the beginning of next month.
And the bunny can die
Unknown AFAIK, but you can always just buy now and use the code later
A bunny dying is pretty rare, unless you take it to like an NM
does anyone know a fix to the sound bug where the VA is muffed and sounds like its in the other room
size First class Second class Third class Fourth class Fifth class
Small 3,750,000 3,562,500 3,375,000 3,187,500 3,000,000
Medium 20,000,000 19,000,000 18,000,000 17,000,000 16,000,000
Large 50,000,000 47,500,000 45,000,000 42,500,000 40,000,000
this is a table for housing in ishgard apparently for EW. what do the classes mean?
Just found out, it's a Deal of the Week.
certain plots are in better locations, leading to them being higher class
Class decision is mostly arbitrary
Just pray Square Enix thinks that a plot near an aetheryte and market board has a shit view
But in your opinion it's a good view 
It’s not based on proximity to the marketboard or aetheryte as some claim—looking at actual examples of plots shows that’s not the case
Well, if it's still on sale on the Square Enix store by the beginning of next month, then I'll buy the complete edition before the sale expires.
bitter memories - 60 antitower or bozja bdsm
I keep hoping itll be easier in bozja. copium
Bozja is much faster if you have a full party split among the zones
Unless you still need Bozja levels
Then I have a choice: Buy it now, and sacrifice two weeks of bowling, meaning I'll have to pre-bowl, or wait until it goes on sale again.
I.e. a cluster farm
cringe no
this is 4th relic its just been a while and was wondering if the numbers changed even slightly
Or just buy complete edition once it updates to include endwalker and save like 6 bucks
Which is actually a good deal. Thanks @regal pawn
Is there a way to see stats at the end of a dungeon run like most healing and most damage?
Nope
Not without ACT
not without (ToS-breaking) mods
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
Im new to the game and playing Marauder, I'm starting to notice that my hotbar is getting filled up and wanted to use macros but I have no idea how and every video I've watched assumes I know what theyre talking about, how do i use macros?
No macros for GCDs
GCD?
weaponskills and spells
What do I do when my hotbar gets filled up then?
Using Macros for those is very bad as you end up losing precious damage and skills uses
Don't use macros for you regular skills, it's a dps loss and you're not going to get anything good from it
Add another hotbar
Get a 2nd and 3rd hotbar
All jobs need 3 hotbars to play
At most a job will require you to have 3 hotbars
At lvl80 you'll need at least 3 hotbars
how do i add another hotbar?
also more keybinds
- never use macros for your combat skills
- GCD means "global cooldown". it's that timer that you need to wait for for each attack
- make another hotbar
/hudlayout
Character Config > hotbar settings
Or that
Or hud layout
just select hotbar 3 and turn it to be active
never use macros for your gcd combat skills
Certain oGCDs are okay
i would not macro any ogcd stuff besides rare exceptions
they are the exception that proves the rule
Thanks alot for answering
anyway the reason why macros are bad, for your knowledge, is that it prevents 'queueing' for your skills
if you press a button it has a timeframe where it registers or 'queues' your input so you don't need to press it at the exact right time
macros don't have that so you will just
more easily ghost button presses
so it's just straight terrbile

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:

This shows off the delay in action
yep
Will I ever need it for Maraurder?
never, for any class
why do people use them then?
Tanks usually have a “Shirk” macro for one of their skills to make a tank swap easier
people use them for crafting or rare exceptions
macros are for crafting in general
Some off-global cooldown skills are neutral/beneficial to macro
Like ground-targeted skills for controller players
So all I really need to do is add more keybinds and another hotbar?
pretty much
if you really need to learn about macros
get to a higher level where it actually matters for those rare exceptions
Thank fuck, everything I was seeing was so damn confusing
yeah you'll get there when you get there
just make sure you don't have to click on stuff for your hotbar too btw
this is for the endwalker vinyl, does that mean there's other versions or what?
how do I remove skill description from the action bar?
they're just stating it's in mp3 format
it doesn't necessarily imply that there are other released versions in differnt formats
wdym, are you hovering / clicking skills?
There's a setting somewhere in character config that lets you fix the skill and item description into a specific spot
other versions of the song*
and move it around in the hudlayout settinsg
yes
i dont want it to show me what the skill does
It takes up too much space 🙂
do what lynn said, but also i would not click skills during actual combat
generally very unadvisable
there's an option to move the tooltip that's displayed to a fixed position elsewhere
it says that it does
i dont have a macro mouse so i cant click the top skills
it tps you to vesper bay
it says exactly what it does
i just realized
send a pic of your hotbar
sorry, im tired
it happens, nw
Should be an option in the UI section of character Config to not show action tooltips
If not there, then maybe Hotbar settings
you should add letter keys

relying on 1 - 0 is not great
ctrl 9
having important skills you need to hit off cd like ikishoten and senei on click is also not great
Yea i use CTRL for the 2nd Slots
1-5, q, e, r, z, x, c, v and those keys plus modifiers (shift-1, ctrl-c, etc)
that doesn't matter, you're clicking on many of you r important skills
which is not good
only use these keys for skills
anything past T G B on keyboard is bad
Got it turn off but its still showing

the why its bad is because you either have to use 2 hands, or have to stop moving to press a button
this issue would be avoided entirely regardless of tooltip showing if you redid your hotbars
they are frankly pretty bad
muscle memory and practice goes a long way
Probably no answer to this yet but: Does anyone know what crafting skill is going to be used for nouliths?
alchemist is the best guess
Due to making books for scholar and summoner
icic
But as it stands, afaik, alchemist only makes scholar and summoner mainweps
What is the thing called where you can do dungeons with your grand company

is there anyway to get the event FATE to spawn o ris it just get lucky?
does HQ gear still increase spirit bonding rate ?
it does not afaik
spawns consistently but takes a while between each
Been teleporting around with no luck
don't think so
Spiritbonding rates are determined by the item level compared to the level of content. For maximum spiritbonding, attempt content ~10 levels higher than the ilevel of the gear you are seeking to spiritbind. The "spiritbinding level" of a dungeon can be determined by the iLevel of the gear that drops.
HQ gear increases the rate of bonding by 20%. Each piece of materia bound to the gear being spiritbonded will also increase rate of bonding by +20%.
Various items (shown as Increased Spiritbond Gain) will increase the rate at which spiritbond is gained. There are also several buffs available.
is this old news ?
How do you level your grand company after second lieutenant?
Squadrons
i
honestly don't know
mentor pls confirm
Hello, does anyone know what this hat is?
mogstation gosetsu's set
I just unlocked that. How do I start ?
Could you get around trading untradable items by putting it in a company chest?
Oh...sad. Thank you.
Get squad members by doing challenge log, once you have 4 or more, go to the back room of the GC
no, as untradable items cannot be stored
The brick by brick fate shows up on map when it's up or do you have to go there?
It shows up on the map when it’s up
But do you mean you have to go to the area for it to show up? If so then yes
That’s with all fates I think
most of them at least
one guide says they don't show up on your map, was wondering if it was one of those types
I was doing fates last night and when I was in the area it shows up on the map
nah
It means the journal entry won’t show where
ah, it did, finally saw it thankfully
I waited for it, in the place that the event site said they woul
Well there's some FATES that are special and don't show up haha
It can take a long while of waiting
some FATEs are proximity based, and are attached to either a FATE line or other events
but the ones you're looking for just appear on the map
where do I get lvl 70 tomestone gear?
thank you.
is there a glam mirror somewhere in ishgard?

I get less comms as tank than as heals, but it could be a region thing

it will be 2k vote ?
I do a lot of stuff as tank and healer and I'm still only at 625 commendations haha
hey, where do i see the most "rpm" keys jobs? like, which job press more buttons than the other etc, rpm but idk... "kpm" keys per minute?
i wanted to get battle mentor before i reach one year of playing
Actions Per Minute is how it's described the most
for DPS, the highest APM is Bard I believe?
it wasnt summoner or ninja?
`ninja
granted those top 5 are all realllllly close
this is single target, and BRD can get a little crazy with 3+
whats the bonus called for having one of each job?
someone has a large chocobo (they're character is same size as me) and they said its from a marriage thing that you can also get from a friendcode, how do i do that?
thanks guys
Marriage chocobo and RAF chocobo are different
how do i get both?
Sorry if these are dumb questions...can you own an FC house and a normal house at once, and can you switch between what type? Can you transfer ownership of a house, like if you buy an fc house, to another from the fc?
yes you can have a n fc and personal house, no you cannot switch

if I wanted to make a macro that targets a certain party member for example party member 5 would the macro be
/target <5>
?
Yup
and if I wanted to use a skill on a certain party member it would be
/ac "skill name" <5>
?
Correct
kk cool beans thanks ❤️
Is there an FC recruitment channel here? If not, whats the best way to find a solid FC on my server?
!faq communityfinder
how much dmg does a blu do compared to a melee?
uhhh
not really super tangibly measureable unless you check in-game since there's no parses for BLU at 70
Yes.
14k vs 30k at high end lvl 70 vs 80
14k not including basic instinct is nuts at 70
Don’t forget dps mimicry
as in, blu does 14k at lv70 and a melee at lv80 does 30k?
i’m looking at raid environment so no basic instinct :<
so is the 14k with or without mimicry?
In a raid environment blue ain’t living raidwides at lvl 80 lol
well i’m not bringing it to eden :>
one could only hope

but yeah if paragon gave an estimate of 14k at 70 consistently
that's a lot
what should i do if i want to farm light relic without A9S as solo
i’m starting my morbol journey soon and brain is just wondering all things >.>
Brayflox hard as was mentioned the last time you asked
brayflox hard spam
i forgot
Honestly, I would go unlock A9S, it's such a pushover unsynced
ik a9s is the fastest but its 3:20 oclock
Took me exactly an hour to do A9S for max charge + the 12 trials after
Check PF anyways
Some nerds are probably making one
Or not, damn it's dead
i want to see chaos pf
well it is 3:22 am
Maybe it’s because I’m Aether
Oh, thought you were on chaos
Cause I also have an ad for Eorzea Multiverse in PF
but yeah, best would be to do unsynced Brayflox Hard sapm
i wanna see chaos's pf if it worth moving or not
On Aether we are like, 3 am and there are still 4 UWU parties
no point
Did you make a PF earlier?
do you need all the logo actions to get the eureka glowy armor?
so my best bet is brayflox hard
Was it peak hours when you asked
nah

Check PF periodically
You might find a PF group
I dunno what peak hours are in those regions, and JP's is nice and easy
i will do another one on peak times but for now im kinda dead and wanna do stuff
but yeah try again during peak hours when you feel like it
around 3-5pm i see activity pickup in PF
Though there are some morning PFs here and there
can you ss your pf i wanna see how's chaos doing
tyt and sorry
no worries, bored out of my mind anywyas
what are these numbers ;-;
Which should be taken with a very big grain of salt
while luckybancho does its best to be accurate, its not entirely possible to do so by scrapping the lodestone
and for future reference if you're going to post images of numbers like that they should have context and also the caveat that comes with it
light are good why u wanted to move ;3
ah sorry yeah was in AR, about to finish then we got like 5% wipe -_-
I was about to post the context then I needed to redo the last boss zzzzz
i want to play with people like my nationally
also I think I need to sleep, idk how it answered your question
just realised
good night ^^
Why are people even using PF for the first three, that stuff is no problem for a DF group?
Unsync, Unsync, Unsync 
that whorleater hard is blu spell party?
It's late and it might be faster to find an 80 who can carry you through the stuff unsynced than to find a group
nope, just 2 random DPS
Oh right. Thats a thing, I always forget
It's pretty much purely because it's 3, almost 4am
ah yeah, I can't imagine doing it at 4 am fam
Hey guys im trying to redeem my complete edition code on Mogstation but I keep getting this error i2501
i2501 error is a stupid broad error code so it can be hard to fix. some common suggestions are: try mobile, try a different browser, turn off vpn if you're using one

I've already tried all of these and I' still getting the same error. Trying different browsers now bit im expecting the same result. This is so dumb
So this quest is level 49 but I’m level 47 what’s a quick way to level up in real reborn
how do i know if my healer is the issue or if i am
Are you using your mitigation?
yeah
Is your gear appropriately leveled?
Are you standing in aoes you're not supposed to be in
no
Then it's probably the healers fault
That or the DPS aren't killing the mobs fast enough
need more info
Did you cleanse the debuff
yes
gotcha
there’s a possibility that you arent mitigating timely but … that dungeon is forever tricky so ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Yeah for that boss I just gcd heal bc one misstep from anyone else is usually death for them
Are there monuments for all crafting jobs in the Firmament?
How can i tell when i can equip 2 of the same ring? Is there an in game indicator or some database for that?
if the tooltip doesn't say "unique" at the top, then you can have 2 of the same ring on
Ooooooh
So i guess that you can't use two of the same of the most current gear because it's all marked as unique right?
yep
when 6.0 rolls out the current tomestone rings will lose the unique-tag so you can wear more than one
It was specific based on which class got the most overall score
World-based
