BLM has the worst leveling experience
But that’s what you should be using swiftcast for
It’s fine to just not use it
But I find it hard to believe you won’t want to move during casts
Like when the tank is doing wall to wall pulls
I dont bother attacking if the tank is walling
Lol you realistically can't
just easier to run and get to the end first
Especially at your current level
Well you can with one swift cast
for ranged/melee it's fine
He doesn't even have swift yet lol

completely missing the point
That's you just not knowing how
I have keep near 100% uptime on wall2walls as rdm
Are we going to be able to buy the lvl 80 tome gear with poetics once EW drops?
yes
Yes
Yep!
Same as every other expansion
Formulas don't change
I hear it won’t be augmented tho
And you'd be wrong
In theory it should
If you buy it now with revelation tomestones you can upgrade it for a nice cheap 100 poetics.
(Probably dumb question, just wanted to make sure since its my first expac drop)
Going by old patterns, at least.
Idk I heard some people saying augmented scaevan only came in 5.3 or something
I wasn’t around so I don’t really know
it's going to be poetics regardless
Pre Augmented everything was 5.3
So what is the formula then
Buy unaugmented with poetics, and upgrade with more poetics?
Should be augmented
Or just straight up augmented for poetics
straight up
Nothing came pre Augmented until 5.3
Yes
That’s a good change
I was thinking what I heard was weird because it didn’t make sense
What’s the deferent between balmung and Mateus ?
None
Which one has the most player?
But server change cost money right?
For full proper transfer yes
Bur you can visit another server on the same Data centre
For free
That's why server choice means fuck all
Only data centre choice matters
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
you'll probably encounter login queues regardless 
Well it matters for finding an FC that speaks your language
can i turn of mouse skill bar drag and drop
is this a bug? I bought a bunch of superstitious essences for bloodsucker, i turned them in and i should have 5
i open cache and nothing is in there
ive done this twice now
Did you actually get bloodsuckers
yes
How long does ShB take to finish without skipping cutscenes?
Just the MSQ, ignore needing to do dailies or extra runs for exp
then nothing in the cache
are magic classes harder to play?
or to understand atleast
In end game hard stuff, physical ranged is usually easier than melee and magic jobs
Basically yeah
Class becomes a job at level 30
Job are what you get when you level a class to 30
A job is a class but with a job crystal
Jobs are superior, always have that crystal equipped if you have it
ok
Some classes can equip jobs, and some cant be played without a job stone
Pugilist and Lancer are classes that turn into Monk and Dragoon with job stones
Generally, Combat Classes is just some old and obsolete stuff
Samurai and Machinist are jobs that cannot be played without job stones
Old 2012, 2014 stuff
A class is the free trial version of the actual job
They only exist for arr jobs
All other jobs start as full jobs
^^
who do you guys think are the most fun out of the magic classes and the archer? is there one that i should definetly not choose?
I still remember in ARR there was an off tank Marauder build or something
!faq meta
And fun is subjective
is there a level boost without skipping the campaign? i really want to go on with a different class but im not done yet with the post stormblood campaign
@gilded belfry Out of the starter ones or all of them?
Yeah
Yes but it'll jump you to 70
Rdm is one of the best designed ones
Hero's Journeys
Arcanist which is Summoner will get a major rework in 2 weeks
Other than that, no info needed
What percent is the ARR relic done if you’re partway through the animus stage 
But you can’t start with rdm so
Rdm?
Red mage
Can't say for sure, but that's not very far
but on the description of hero's journey it said it will instantly skip to a specific mission much later on
Lol
Red mage can't be played on free trial though
Yep
Will relay that to my pal
So if you learn Summoner now, in 2 weeks your job will change fundamentally
That's your job quest
unless im kinda blind and thats the first mission of post stormblood
yea im playing free trial
Job boosts skip all the job quests
Frankly you’re kinda boned if you want to start as a caster
You don’t really have any good options
BLM has one of the worst leveling experiences and smn is well…
I would recommend starting with Black Magic / Thaumatage
Gnb and dnc also start at 60 so levelling them will be quick
honestly, im a fan of the complexity
Getting reworked in 2 weeks
I liked BLM leveling lol
alot of people might not like summoner for how wack the whole mechanics are but i kinda like it
Kek
Yeah, it’s just becoming a new job later...
So not really recommended for a beginner
and then i go back to dancer and its like 'press these 4 buttons + handholding'
I would almost definitely recommend a beginner to try out SMN after EW release tho
But yeah I would stay away from starting as a caster if you want a fun first experience
You can always switch jobs whenever anyway
Everything is viable
i am already having fun as caster, its not my first job
It’s pretty fun too
unless you werent talking to me(?)
Black Mage's rotation changes every half an XP bar and SMN is reworked in two weeks
I'd not start as a caster
Correct
i mean if theyll make it better i dont care
Sure people may find it fun but they are not exactly the majority
So you can take that risk if you want
Maybe a rework like the upcoming one isnt the best idea for a new player
I wouldn’t do it tho, knowing what I know now
Their choice though /shrug
If I were to recommend a starting job I would say ninja
.>
<.<
You cant start as NIN
They have the best leveling experience
Well just get 10 levels, not too hard or time consuming
i recommend dancer as a starting job
You can’t start as dancer
actually
is there a way to get your old look back when you get a job?
i recommend gunbreaker as a starting job
Wdym old look
im jk
If you mean gear, yeah
Define "old look"?
If you didn’t know, you can switch between jobs freely at any time
i think he means glamour
If it's your old gear look, you can use glamour prisms to make one piece of gear look like another piece of gear.
well if you dont have a job your character looks different
I assume the artifact gear
Job doesn't change how you look
Also, is it best to tackle the Bozja Raids as a Level 80 character so I can use the Bozja Gear?
There is no difference in the gear you can equip besides the Job Artifact gear
Just allows equipping job specific gear
if i click on job in character creation my look changes a lot with every job i select
because that's the artifact gear
I'd say do them as a 71+ to benefit from exp, but if you mean Delubrum Reginae, that can only be done as an 80
But if you dont have anything in 71-79, just run it as an 80
You can think of that as a preview of what your job will look like
ok
You will not be looking like that until you hit level 50 and it's not required in the slightest
What are the best Lost Actions to take into Delubrum Reginae?
quick question about fantasia. can i throw one in on the 1st of december when i log out for the final time before ew and then use it on the 3rd? wanna go for middy stubble
Depends on class
yes
alright nice
Say a tank like Gunbreaker or Paladin.
Can't go wrong with damage increasing skills
Blood rage in particular is great on Warriors
Always damage increasing stuff
Not meta, but try a support build for fun
Font of Power and Banner of Noble ends is the generic melee load out
Blood rage is great on tanks
Plus pure essence for non healers
DR essences are great since they're as strong as some of the pink ones and they're only usable in DR so might as well
because bunshin is 90s ogcd would you wait on shadowfang/dream(60s ogcd) within or just combo without it? ten chi jin and meisui are 120s ogcds thouh
ok
Holding leads to lose uses
Which is 100% dps lost in the fight for a 5% immediate gain
thats kinda annoying then all because on bunshin
timeworn artifacts: potd or DR?
DR
how many / run
5 per run iirc
Bunshin naturally lines up with every other Trick
Or was it 3
3
It won't be 15 potd
can use it to level up my lower stuff
Potd is rng
of course it is
Until you get to the challenge floors
1-100 is low chance....101-150 is decent...151-200 is guaranteed
Find speedrun groups and knock out DR in 15mins a run
Be finished in a few hours

Dzemael Darkhold has a pair of gauntlets for tanks and DRG that I couldn't Need on despite being a PLD
Why
I also only got one piece of gear and somehow got two copies of the same piece because the final chest gave me the same item my dungeon reward was
How
hey, how can I change the party list so it's in a set order and im not always #1?
Never mind that second one was a visual bug
You dont
So I really only got the one piece
Is there no way or is just not recommended :(?
damn that sucks D: thanks though
Is GNB a hard class to play, coming from DPS? I only played DPS classes mostly so switching to tank is a bit new for me
it's only "hard" because it starts with 60 levels worth of skills
Is there any way to increase the input buffer time? Like, allowing you to register an input at an earlier time in the GCD spin?
asking for my mom
Anyone knows if transfers to Coeurl are free at the moment?
So if you join a BA run as support how many fragments do you get?
they are not
I'd recommend going with a tank job that starts at a lower level, like DRK, first to get the hang of tanking. But if it makes you feel better, GNB is the tank that feels the most like a DPS
No, but the input buffer is almost an entire second
like
It's stupid generous
Not really, I would even say GNB is the most intuitive Tank to play
You just press buttons and smash the boss at melee range
yes, however i am asking for my mom
Is December 7 the confirmed date for
?
December 3 yes
endwalker
you get used to the rhythm of the GCD
december 3rd is early access, december 7th is the release date for peeps who didn't preorder
There is a third party plugin that allow you to do that
But it is a third party plugin for a third party launcher
Imagine against TOS, but it’s also against the TOS of the third party thing that is against TOS
Two Negatives is a Positive!
Anyway I’m talking about NoClippy, it can allow you to set a customized input buffer duration
Ah okay. I didn’t want to waste too much time just doing another class first though all the way to 80, but if there’s a way I can learn GNB faster then I guess I could try that
Like this
What sword and shield does Solkzagyl have in the 45 PLD quest?
I know this sounds really dumb but how do you finish the first quest called close to home???
which is already a problem
The 50 relic
First step?
did you read the blue text in your quest log
Yes
oh
no
Please read.
Yeah, GNB is mostly just pressing stuff on CD, even optimized play is just delay stuff by a GCD or two to align buffs
Where PLD is like the tank with a low skill floor... but it's one of those jobs that require a spreadsheet at higher levels
If you need the exact location you can click on the blue text for a map marker
Yeah I just wanted something that feels like a DPS type overall where I can just rotate abilities and combos while using the gun lol
Uhmmm how do i acces my quest log😬
But if you literally don't read anything you won't get very far
It's right there on your screen
What weapon is the bright white sword/shield PLD has when you're selecting a class
Is it just a later ARR relic step
wdym bright white
J
The closest I can think of is the aetherpool weapons you can get from potd
Oh ok i got it now
I meant the white sword/shield when you're selecting a class and put GLD in its job armor
All the weapons on the character creation are the arr relics

also, is it normal that i dont hear any character's voices?
Yes
Most ARR scenes are not voiced
Majority of the game isn't voiced
ARR doesn't have that many voiced scenes
Only major scenes primarily
HW and beyond have a lot though because SE's budget went through the roof
Hey there. I was wondering if people still do the binding coil quests. I just got to heavensward, but have been trying to queue for that, but it never pops.
party finder is your best friend
Binding coil is not in any roulette except mentor
Party Finder or asking your FC for a 80 char to run you through is your best friend
You should use party finder unsync to attempt Coils
cause coils is the equivalent of ARR savage raids, nobody queues for those in NA servers. Getting a few 80s to unsync with you would be your best bet
People love a basically free 1,300 poetics that takes all of half an hour
More if you watch all the Coils cutscenes
How long will it take before i get into actual combat?
So I'm stuck in a weird spot. Endwalker is out soon and I just beat 5.0 MSQ, so I don't think I'll have time to properly gear my SMN with the current tomestones, and I'm capped on Poetics, but none of my other jobs are near the levels to have 70 poetics gear. What should I spend the poetics on in the meantime?
!faq poetics
Define "actual" combat
and define where you are
just did that first quest so basically at the start
FFXIV is a story-based MMO, it's not a grind-mobs-til-you-drop MMO
just fighting stuff
Like, two quests? You'll be sent out to kill some stuff outside of the town soon.
so it'll come but like, let it do itself
You'll be sent outside as part of your first class quest
New player, I want to play samurai at lv50 as it looks cool. Which class/job should I pick before then (does the choice even matter if I want to switch to samurai anyway)?
Doesn't matter.
It doesn't matter
SAM is an expansion job, and has no prerequisites.
Most say pick a melee so toy learn how a melee works
Just level 50 and own Stormblood.
Ah so its not like rogue into ninja?
No
but can i just skip the story part if i want to?
no
And some say Monk cause it shares gear with samurai
But yoy get some armour when getting samurai, just need accessories
Yes and no. You have to do
, but you don't have to watch the cutscenes if you don't want to.
Nice ty. 🙂 Is there a melee class that feels fun to play early on and gets most of its kit/skills early?
you can buy a skip if you really want
Monk it is then 🙂
thanks!
Are there any events/rewards if I start now compared to say in 2 weeks' time?
Only the moogle tomes until endwalker starts
Just the Moogle Tomestone event.
Aha, I wont reach lv50 in 2 weeks anyway so nvm. Thanks 🙂
Question on PvP in Endwalker: do Jobs receive new PvP skills on launch? Or will that happen a few weeks after?
are any of these levelling/beginner friendly events by any chance?
All events are, especially seasonal
Moogle tomes aren't really seasonal so somewhat exception
mogtome event is easy to farm with prae if you have chores to do or want to like tab out to do other stuff
Majority events.just need lv15
Pandaemonium isn't, but the mogtomes and seasonal events will be.
Pandaemonium isn't technically an event.
cool, but its not worth delaying starting the game to coincide with these events or anything im guessing
Nah
No
Right on launch
perfect tyvm ❤️
You need lv15 to start them anyway
The new PVP mode just isn’t until 6.1, IIRC
And they usually last 2 weeks or so
Ahhh, I see
Cool
I understand that nothing is final for the skills shown in the media tour
But will any skill get big reworks on launch?
Or just potency adjustments now
And rework somewhere down the line?
Unlikely
This is probably very close to what we'll get in two weeks.
They might make some potency adjustments after a few weeks have passed, but nothing big will happen on launch.
mostly balance changes with 6.1 after they got their data from the first 2 ex trials
They do not want people getting excited over something that won't actually happen, so they want the media tour material to be accurate.
So if a job has cursed opener and what not, it is not happening soon
Any major changes won't happen until next expansion.
Those are some very good points
Yes and no, monk got a mild mid expansion rework here.
Savage Pandaemonium launch is another candidate for quick big changes
Same with normal pandaemonium
I was expecting things like how warrior shake it off was changed
Basically, what we've seen on the media tour is pretty final unless something turns out to be extremely broken
Not ninja or monk level of change
One I do know was that holmgang duration was changed shortly after savage Eden release
Another possible candidate is monk and chakra
Since it was brought up on an interview
But anyhow, OK, nothing big is gonna happen on launch, good enough for me
Those are solo instances.
Get better gear
oh okok thanks
Or Watch a video on how other players do it
Also you can just fail and use easy/very easy mode
Wait what?
Was Holmgang previously 6s?
Idk the exact duration but it used to be shorter
Don't trust that
Yeah, could still be changed
Those type of values are the most likely to change after the media tour
At best you can eat one more
Potencies and durations
Might even be changed on 6.01 or 6.05
isnt 10s just the standard duration of tank invulns
Yeah

But previously Holmgang and GNB shoot myself are both 8s
Barely matters tho
But changing them to 10s do feel more comfy
lmao Superbolide
What's an easy to obtain high ilvl 60 weapon?
You mean level 60 weapon or actually ilvl 60?
I went looking for the poetics weapon but could only find armour
Bertana
Weapons are always in a different vendor in the endgame hubs
Bertana sells them
Only after finishing heavensward
I'm interested in getting Master Caster title as a fisher, but does anyone know any good websites that have the list of 100 big fish that can be caught relatively easier? I'm not interested in going until Grandmaster Caster
I'm trying to get through the BLU spell list. Are there specific ones I should go for first?
Overworld spells, aetherical mimicry, song of Torment, primal stuff
Aetherial Mimicry, ram's voice, ultravibration, bristle, song of torment
I would also suggest getting some spells from field before going into learning parties
Any spells that can be easily acquired in the overworld
With mighty guard and basic instinct, you can solo a lot of lower level duties very quickly as well
I got a tip from the NN on both Mighty Guard and Basic Instinct, so now I'm soloing 60 duties at level 62
Lol
Anyone know why I can’t buy a sub off my phone ?
Still not sure on what a good rotation is though
you should check the balance
if they don't have low level rotations you can at least figure out how to structure it based off the current level cap rotation, just subtracting the stuff you don't have
I'm sure there's some optimal BLU rotations but honestly I just spam all my primal spells and then spam sonic boom
Gets you through most content, outside of doing the Savage stuff
As a new player, how do i get from the desert area starting zone (i am a pugilist) to where i can pick up the rogue quest at 10
Spamming Water Cannon is not the best lol. I'll check the balance
Story
You'll need to get to the level 15 msq quests that allow you to leave uldah
Follow the main story
The concept is jam primal spells, bristle Mantra magic and triple trident combo under off guard then spam whatever 220 potency nuke of choice
The only thing you mentioned that I have is Bristle lol. I'm currently working on getting Aetherial Mimickry
as a fresh lv80, i dont have the ilvl required for some post-ShB quests. Will I eventually have to complete these quests to move onto Endwalker?
ty!
I has question
Is it possible to know what world are use depending to the country? (for exemple is there a lot of Spanish in Odin server)
How does DRK's The Blackest Night work with other shields like SCH's Galvanize effect or AST's Nocturnal Sect or WHM's Divine Benison or the party-wide shields that PLD and WAR are able to put up
Breaks first
@faint flare @regal pawn thx guys
Always?
Oh
hey i just got dragoon and im lvl 31. Does anyone know the best method to level up the fastest?
Story
that’s it?
Your level means almost less than nothing because your skills will be locked behind the MSQ
and as you get later in the story, the story throws so much xp at you that you won't have to even think about XP on your first job
i know it’s mandatory and that’s the only quest i’ve been doing. It’s just making second guessing myself because the main quests are like lvl 25 so im not sure
but i trust you veterans
so i’ll just keep doing them
It carries
yeah, for your first job you wont need to worry at all about leveling
there may be one time you're behind on xp
No, you wont be
which is after the level 47 story quest, when it jumps two levels
For your first and maybe second job the best way to level is the MSQ and your daily roulettes
You will get IL locked
but even that probably won't happen
but that's normal
that's right
okay thank everyone
but yeah, that's basically the only time your level might matter
Then you have like three quests and it goes to 50 one quest before Castrum and Prae
once you've got through the story you'll need to level your alternate jobs other ways, but it's better to come back and ask once you get there ^^
is the Realm Reborn MQS long?
Currently ARR is the longest MSQ yes
That may change once Endwalker hits because Endwalker we already know is going to be long in comparison to HW/SB/ShB
Any Bard here that knows it kinda well that could DM me for an "actual simple" Question?
what do y'all think is the best dps class to try out first if i've been playing whm and i'm intimidated by how complicated dps seems to be? buttons scare me.
whm is literally press aero/dia and spam glare
cuz i’m at the quest “On to Little Ala Mhigo” so idk if i’m still early, hal’s way or near the end of the story
Cuz' i wanna have it in Private so i can get back to it without having to search for it
This is an important question btw
That's early as hell
80, but i haven't finished msq yet. just a bit overlevelled

Dancer is braindead easy coming from WHM as your first and only job
braindead easy
whm
those things are the same
general consensus from what i hear is that dancer, red mage, and dragoon (lancer) are the "easy" jobs
Source: Played only WHM from 1 to 62 MSQ then unlocked DNC
I've unlocked it already and I do love how it looks! Thanks for the suggestion.
Just ask @open coral
drg isnt easy, you need to understand the jumps and when to use your raid buffs
it becomes easy in ew with them lining up properly
Yeah DRG is definitely not one you wanna start with with the jump animations 
ninja is the easiest melee
monk is the most complex imo, samurai is a very static rotation
exactly, this is why i am very intimidated by other classes lmao. playing whm has felt like playing on easy mode at times
Ninja is the easiest melee
Trick Attack burst phase would like a word with you
I think the easiest melee dps to actually learn and play is, funnily enough, SAM
ninja is easy to grasp the concept of but keeping it even close to optimal can get very confusing very fast
DRG is the simplest melee
nah
It's static as fuck
BLU question: I'm doing Cutter's Cry and the Chimera gives both the Ram's Voice and Dragon's Voice. Can I get both at once, or will this take multiple clears?
Yes
both at once
I got both at the same time doing Cutter's Cry solo
it's simple but still not the easiest
Unsynced
Nice! Thank you!
you clip any of your jumps and you may as well be playing a healer in dps
i mean, if you wanna speak about ninja being easy for newbies if you're aren't optmising DPS, the same can apply to clipping some GCDs as dragoon
you'd be surprised at how many times I see clipping
act is nice, shame I cant tell them to git gud with it
biggest offender is high jump-dive cause of low gcd cd
And you'll be surprised how many people fuck uo the easiest shit
you don't gotta bring up that you used act to notice their mistakes to throw some advice at people
just say "hey are you doing X"
"it'll be better if you do Y then X instead" or whatever
saying anything aside from post-wipe will just get you kicked on NA servers
i just seen the list and jesus christ i have a long way to go😭
How do most people do the patch content? Like do the whole 24 man raid, then the trails, then the 8 man then msq or split it between the patches like it came out?
how can I get the inferno jacket from moogle
100 tomes
how do I get tomes
Do duties with the moogle icon
Do I even have them?
if you can participate in any of the eligible activites you can get them iirc
I'm still on ARR story
Anyone know anywhere I can advertise my wedding to give invites? Not having any luck screaming it in cities.
Do you make seeing horde katana looks like something else
Or something else looks like seeing horde katana
The glow is part of the glamour
And do you refer to the icon? Or the actual weapon?
if you made it look like a different item, then ofc it won't have the glow because the glow is specific to seeing horde
Ayy
Side note: seeing horde katana is no longer worth it for the stat
It is for fashion only
Yeah, Transmog can be different from game to game
If you want A to look like B
You interact with A
You need to remove the glamour from Horde Katana first
Other wise, when you apply a Horde Kanata glamoured with something else on to another weapon as glamour, the weapon will receive the something else’s glamour
Cast glamour, then pick Remove
Right click horde katana
If A looks like B, and you make C uses A as glamour. Then C will look like A.
Also can you get glamour prisim and glamour dispeeler as free trail?
Hun, TIL
Piss easily
Grand company
Ayy
Are any of the weapons in-game modeled after the Kinna weapons you get in PotD once you reach +60 on your aetherpool arms? Or do the Kinna weapons have unique models
once you clear floor 100 you can get the kinna weapons same way as the normal ones
by turning in your aether pool levels
just takes a few more levels to get them
oh or do you mean are there uncoloured versions
Yeah like actual weapons that share models with the Kinna weapons
I don't think anything shares models with kinna
The empyrean from hoh and the padjali have models they share with
Some example please and thank you
you search the kinna bayonet in garlandtools
and it shows you that it shares appearance with the deepgold weapon
thank you.
Hun nice
So those are weapons that have distinct textures but shared models?
yes
Same skeleton
Fancy
In most circumstances, they also shared textures, just different tints
!iglam ultima deathbringer
Potd and hoh is unique
Make sense
!iglam deathbringer ultima
yeah ultimate weapons, besides a few for certain classes, reuse models but with vastly different particle effects
The next ultimate weapons will be based on shinryu weapons
the TEA weapons use some hyperconductive(? correct me) relics as the base model
Which is why shinryu has dnc and gnb weapons

That’s... really really surprising
I thought it is gonna be Nidhogg?

Like, why would they do that?
that's incredibly incorrect, kat.
Since it is dragonsong
yeah seems kinda weird to hop right over the head of nidhogg lul
let's chill y'all
Dragonsong War Ultimate hasn't had its weapon models revealed
we don't know what the dragonsong ultimate weapons are going to be based off of
Depends, dnc uses shure
It’s probably Nidhogg weapon
let's not dogpile on Kat
that being said yeah i would concur it's likely to be niddhogg but as kael stated

🔨
I'd heard second hand and it made sense considering dragons and no other reason to have made new weapons for dnc and gnb for shinryu
Regardless, in most circumstances, it is just a different base color. Then in rare occasions it will have fancier effects
Ok so you have no source on that information
Rdm ultima is original
But that's just speculation
Seeing Horde is the crafted EX weapons from Nidhogg
What color does it glow again?
While 'X of the Round' is from Thordan EX
Dark red
Magenta
purple-ish red
Red
Ayyy
!itemglam seeing horde guillotine
I do quite want the next Ultimate weapon to be red
If I may
Like, currently we have Yellow Blue Yellow
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
we dunno what color it's gonna be, the final boss of HW has a lot of different colors in their attacks


Is this the channel where I'd ask for help with mog station issues?
all questions allowed here aside from lore usually
even lore questions are allowed here
There are still stupid questions
So my old card expired, and I'm trying to update it to my new one. But since it's the same brand as the old one it won't go past the first page- it just says no change in account. How do I fix this?
note that we can only give limited help for tech support
we're only players ourseles
No charge as in your just got a new one?
Try to cancel your subscription then re sub?
They might be checking if it's a fraud card
usually a card with 0 charges is suspect
I think he means, when you select the same payment type the web page don’t allow you to change a card
No, I mean it won't even go to the "enter card info" page.
Any tips for doing pvp as a melee?
Practice
Especially on not getting singled out and dying
pick dragoon and steamroll cause it's imbalanced
Depends on the game mode,
I for one have not learned how to play Melee in any game modes tho
How exactly are you going about updating your card information? thru "credit card/crysta payment" option?
Frontline, i’ve been doing it as ranged
Also the Job depends.
RDM is also kinda a Melee, and DRG is the “Melee (?)” job
DRG is alright
Fine, nin then.
I would say try to start with DRG or PLD
I wouldn't say it's broken in any way
just don't be dumb, stay with the group and don't go blindly charging in, that's the best advice i can give in general tbh
DRG's probably the best melee in PvP because it has the increased damage / burst of a melee DPS with like 90 ranged attacks
Frontline NIN is hard.... like I think you don’t actually assassinate people
Like, stealth and go in rarely works
it's definitely a keepaway game where you try to position yourself in a spot or take advantage of bad positioning as a melee
and utilize yo ur burst to get picks
What works better is just hit people then abuse skuchin
and monk has more burst, team wide buff, and three charge gap closer
aye monk's also nuts
dragoon is just there
Yeah DRG is really crazy in PVP
it's not bad, it's not the best either
monk's the better pick class but DRG just outputs consistently good damage
all the melee dps in pvp are pretty well rounded
Right. I tried canceling and readding, but since I still have some paid time left it won't let me actually change my account info.
Also the DRG’s back flip is so tilting
Like, you thought you finally pin down the DRG
He back flips and run away anyway
as soon as the animation of the backflip begins, then you pin him
Try using this option to adjust your payment details
Very hard to say
if you'd like I can answer your questions outside of this channel in #archived-player-vs-player for you
I would say damage isn’t a good guage for performance
so we don't take up all the conversations
Aha, that works. Thanks, @twilit arch !
If you kill the other person, that's probably enough
That being said
Pvp by its nature kinda favors burst damage over consistent sustained damage
How long from Endwalker release until people pop in asking the optimal rotation for Reaper 
i mean it'll probably be like a week or so for a full proper rotation comes out
can I ask about rotations here?
The combo will be straightforward for you to figure it out on a basic level
I wanna make sure I understand the bard rotation
Yes
So the basic is using my songs with my dots right?
Yes
DoTs first then song
Keep dots up, rotate through songs
And for the order you're generally going to go Minstrel's Ballad > Wanderer's Minuet > Army's Paeon
How many enemies to I have to dot for this to actually be effective?
1
One
really?
Always keep them on the boss
is my rng just this horrible?
It's literally your entire thing
You have 2 dots
It is yeah

The rates go up with the upgraded dots
this is Wrong
you always start with wanderer's
for single target the rotation is wanderers > mages > army. aoe its mages > army > wanderers
So it's not wrong
Minstrel's Ballad is also not a song, it's Mage's
That's literally what I was told when I came in here asking about Bard after 5.5 so 
Oh
Mage's Ballad*
Whenever I use mages ballad and Dot the boss with both of my dots I usually get 1 Repertoire for the whole song if I am lucky, I have to dot like 3 enemies for it to actually be helpful, is this normal?
who ever told you that rotation was wrong
I am lvl 47
you were told wrong.
Again your chance goes up with upgraded dots
wanderer's is your strongest single target song, so it should be your first song
do not take our corrections as bashing you, we're just saying what's right and wrong
!action Stormbite
!action Windbite
and its a predominately single target song which is why its last in the AoE rotation
also to be clear this isn't exactly correct either
Against 2 targets, the relative song strength is WM > MB > AP. Against 3-6 targets, the song strength order is MB > WM > AP. Against >6 targets, the song strength order is MB > AP > WM. This isn’t necessarily the order you should use your songs in dungeons, it depends on the pull sizes.
pulled from balance bard guide
Blah they don't say
So this is normal for my lvl?
But point is the rate gets better
Yes
yeah i don't blame anyone ehre, BRD aoe is jank as fuck
Below 64 BRD your DoTs have a 20% chance to proc each song's Repertoire
Plus yoy get Empyrhal arrow later to force procs
okay, I just feel like the songs arent doing much atm. But at least now I know its not my fault
Bard feels bad until way later
Once you get to 54 BRD you get Empyreal Arrow which procs Repertoire for your song
it's a fixer-upper
at 64 is the big power spike andw hen you r rotation starts feeling a bit better
At 64 BRD Windbite and Venom Bite upgrade to Stormbite and Caustic Bite respectively and increases the proc chance to 40%
Oh it's a 68 trait?
also the fact that I only have 2 songs atm
You'll get the third song in HW
yeah the 3rd song ties it all together
From the 52 BRD quest
it's also the strongest bard song for single
buut, I have to say the rotation feels quite fun especially when I get the good run
Bard is one of the highest apms
so I am glad I chose bard as my first job
yeah it gets more consistently good later on so just commit to it if you like the concept of the class
That's cause you're where BRD starts to only get better the more you level up
Prior to 40 BRD it kind of really sucks because it's basically just Heavy Arrow spam
for trash it still kinda is right now, because I dont always have a song to use.
Just the low level things you get used to
yeaa
like most jobs, being below 60 or even 50 for some, it sucks a lot
once you get higher and get more of your rotation/kit to use, it gets better
If only the questing wasnt so horrible in ARR I probably would have been in HW already
it's going to change in 6.0
(bard)
sorry I was scrolled up
IN WHAT WAY?
can you craft glamour prisms still?
not a major change but still changes since new skills
With raging strikes a 60s Cooldown
yes
generally don't recommend crafting them though, as the cost of the materials are usually more expensive than prism itself
cant seem to download the game on my pc, keep getting a patch error, legit spent like 5 hours tryna download it last night and couldnt. Anyone else had this issue?
I don't have the recipe and i can't find the quest in WT like it says online
all mine are 80
Armys Paeon seems kinda useless though, like its effects are soo tiny I can barely notice them. Is this just me?
have you tried to talking to goberin in vesper bay?
I'm in front of him and he has no quest
he doesn't give the quest
the quest is from Swyrgeim
but goberin is the one who sells the books to learn the recipes
It is your weakest song
Like you want a clicky job?
But speed is free speed
Ok I had to buy the books to learn.. thank you :))

Also Crusty you never have to apologize for a question 
When you get your 3rd song. You'll be ending army paeon 10s early to go into Raging strike + wanderers
cant seem to download the game on my pc, keep getting a patch error, legit spent like 5 hours tryna download it last night and couldnt. Anyone else had this issue?
Is anyone else having weird lag issues right now?
!faq quicklauncher
Try this
I noticed that when I was first downloading the game I'd get patch-downloading errors because my home wifi is kinda slow (I manage to play this game on hotspot lmao), the speed would slow to a crawl and the launcher would halt the update, requiring a restart
is this safe?
Yes
yeah ive been using my hotspot for it too ><
why is bahamut side quest not showing in my new game+? i dont know what i did to cause this, i was a sprout at the time and my fc made me speedrun it
Many use it and it's open source
I'm sure it wouldn't be suggested by a bot used in the Discord-partnered FFXIV server if it was unsafe
Also has some plugins you can download for some QoL stuff if you want
most likely didn't completely finish the quest chain
what's the last quest you did for it?
im not sure
Check the journal
i have final coil turn 4 on raids
ooo thank u so much!
In the completed tab
just wanna b a cute basic bitch bunny gorl
check the completed section of your quest journal, coils is "chronicles of a new era"
Are you still supposed to make a PF for the Binding Coil raids?
Always
gotcha, been in queue for 18 mins now and that 1 tank never appears
Some leftover arr jank
Unlike Alex or omega there's no normal mode
It's generally recommended to just unsync it to get the story
Possible to just 2 man unsync it as tanks?
Very
A lv80' can solo
Pretty much the entire thing is ez to solo unsync
So 2 is easier
With one very awkward exception that would demand a good burst if solo
T8 or T9 right
T9
9
Is that the one that does the missiles tankbuster if there's two of you in there
How many memoria totems is a full set?
10
o
er 19, sorry
Ah, tyty
5 totems for chest/legs, 3 for head/glove/boots
I got shit luck on coffers but it seems like I have enough for a full set that I want now, at least

So, I have a couple of maps on me from Khloe. What's the best way to get a group together...and have them exercise patience since I've never triggered a map before?
the 24-man raid, maaaaybe anima weapon
Party finder
@forest root Sky Pirate raid is a lot of fun. And it gives a great title!
@obsidian patio Thanks - Quick question. I have a friend who is 80, but hasn't finished ShB MSQ yet. Can he participate as long as he's unlocked the zone?
Yes, though some map spawns will need flying
You can desynth them
is that the thing where I need to get to level 30 in a hand craft?
Yes
gotcha, thanks
Im trying to finish the The Head, the Tail, the Whole Damned Thing fate and am at Nothing Like a Trappin' Life bit it isnt spawning. The wiki says it wont spawn if whole damned thing has spawned within the last 48 hours. is that just for my, or for the instance?
for the server
hmm, is there any way to see respawn time?
there are trackers based on last spawn but more of a community effort than an actual, like, definitely accurate one
join this, select the appropriate roles and get alerts o/
I can't lvl my retainers as crafters , Only gathers and jobs right?
Is it advisable to have one gatherer and one job
gatherer retainers are very.. very slow at gathering. They help but they are slow
combat retainers can help get materials from killing mobs (like leather, flesh) which is actually better than you killing mobs yourself
Ah okay, thanks!
i had my retainers as all 3 gatherers for the exclusive minions then switched them to combat
I use a FSH retainer myself, just so that I don't have to tussle with the RNG as much
If you teach them 2 jobs can they switch back anytime or do they have to relearn a job
Gathering retainers are great, just know in advance what kind of materials you’re going to want
Just check in every hour and watch your stockpile of materials grow
They’re bad if you need mats right now of course
they literally take 1 hour to gather what you yourself can do in … 2 gathering attempts >.>
when the 2 new classes release, how much time is needed for parses to be representative? And also when lvling and a lot of dungeons are available but all of them are for the same level, always pick the last one or pick whichever you like ?
Don’t use lvl cap dungeons to level
This second part doesn’t ever happen
Level 50, 60, 70 and 80 dungeons are not leveling dungeons
Use multiple and use that time for other stuff you actually want to do
time is money
