First 1 then to 2 then 3
1 to 2 to 3 to 4
You get the idea
Just stay close in melee range so melees don't cry
Oh ok, I thought it was something where I needed to cancel it out or go to someone else
like I fucked it up
It comes up occasionally in higher end content
It's a dungeon boss, it's gonna be super simple
We often call it Limit Cut
Yeah just wanted to make sure I did it right
I thought I fucked it up and got my party charged lol
but thats just how it goes I guess
Imagine dying to dungeon bosses kekw
nah nobody died, the run was pretty easy
most content so far has been pretty easy, I only die if the healer falls asleep or tank dies
So uh
Yes, and?
Is it normal that the game show me this when I try to do the patch 5.3 quest? I think I already did that no?
Tf
Is it the raid quest line?
Ye, so I did it
Make no sense that the game ask for it again in 5.3
I think I did it even before finishing Stormblood, maybe I missed a lil quest from it?
When does ew start for preorder ?
3 December
Thx
So apparently, I still have 3 quests from it remaining that werent needed for shadowbringers, but are needed for 5.3
Did you recently come back to the game?
Hi, I'm trying to launch FFXIV but every time I hit play on the launcher, the launcher just closes and the game doesn't boot. No error code, steam doesn't even show that it's running anymore. I verified the cache, before I just try and re-download the damn game does anybody have any solutions? Google didn't help much
Kinda, came back a month ago to do Shadowbringers
That’s why, the requirement to do CT was added in patch 5.3
Didnt started Shadowbringers back then tho, that's the weird part
I started it after 5.3
but you did CT all the way to the end?
I did the raid, I still have 3 quests remaining
Oh okay
Did you finish the quest afterwards for it?
how early do prelim patch notes go live before early access?
at least you know what to do 
Yeah, was confused since I thought I was done with it
It's just dialogue at least
hmm i thought they came a few days before for some reason
mostly just interested for the job stuff or guides online to go live so we can see "final" potencies for everyone
But yeah you’re right, my brain skipped over the prelim stuff
The notes won’t have the job action adjustments
prelim for 5.0 was on june 26th
Since there would be too many to list
so like a week before makes sense
i expect them to just link to the online guide like they did with 5.0
instead of listing it all
that's what they did with shb yeah
just dont remember if the job stuff was online and up with prelim notes or if we had to wait for servers to go down

The benchmark had pretty limited options for Male Viera, anyone know if there will be more on EA release? Or should I make do with the benchmark and save a template for release?
we have had confirmed hairstyle compatability but we dunno if there will be more options
my guess is big no
Ye ok
I just forgot to watch the last cinematic, there was just the last quest to finish
Uhm.... where do i get those blue named wedding clothes?
Google doesn't wanna tell me :c
They're from the platinum wedding plan
oh so no other way to get dyeable versions? x.x
you'd have to go with either gold or platinum plans yes, for the dyeble version
main difference between passion and devotion is how it dyes. the trim on passion gets dyed a paler version of the colour you chose basically
while devotion keeps it a bright white
oh okay
thx for the hint
Will ishgard restoration be gone in EW? 
No
It's permanent
I have 2m gil and have all my crafts at 0 so...I figured out that it's really helpful to lvl crafts till 80 , so good to know that
XD
Ofc I'd probably need more gil but yea
Thanks
How long would it roughly take :O
well, long.
and 2mil would not be enough to level them all if you buy stuff
okay, got another Q...
Is there any like hmm
Elegant suit glams anyone can recommend?
Especially some that'd look on Hrothgar?
guys i did edens gate descent. i had this marker with weird arrows on me, not the usual ones
i hope i can find a picture somewhere, one sec
I assume it's just the marker for the delayed casts the boss does in that fight
which uses somewhat unique markers
Great, tyvm
ok. it looks like a cogwheel and 2 arrows are pointing somewhere
or more arrows, small ones, bigger ones and they are moving
yes!
thats a unique marker that just lets you know its a timed thing
some of the casts the boss does do not happen once it finishes but rather later
it's a mechanic of the fight
should i do doh/dol job quests
yes
ok. why are there arrows ?
because an analog clock has arrows like in real life
eventually it gives you really good skills for your crafters gatherers iirc @leaden ginkgo
ohhh it`s like a clock lmao. thx
do them up to its either level 65 or 67
the hands of the clock dont mean anything, but inside the circle will be a marker signifying which cast was delayed
clock = means its time related = counting down
rn im just grinding lvls in diadem...idek what any of these skills are for
mr happy usually gets week 1 strats
ilya usually gets day 1 strats
mtq is usually a bit later than happy
joobob is usually optimized week 8+ strats
ok but in terms of quality both are equally good i guess
in terms of production, mtq is usually a bit better
but that's just how fast they release the videos
so for a beginner, she also explains it better ?
use mtq or joonbob
ok, thx!
mtq has the whole fight
joonbob is usually only parts of the fight but the parts he describes are generally better than mtq
Theres only one version of the Shadowbringer sword right? the Weathered one?
correct
Is Edenmete Maiming gear the best grindable/easiest gear I can get for my fresh lv. 80 Reaper?
70
tomegear
For allegory
can someone confirm
Rev is 2:1
Oh shoot, so I can pretty much buy ivl 520 gear with poetics?
530
Oh damn, yea Im not gonna waste my time grinding then. I'm capped at Poetics so I guess im all set
Zadnor 525 is a good alternative as well
cap your tomes too so you can convert them to poetics
But no accessories
Oh u can directly convert them??? Thank you!
is indoor gardening worth w/o crossbreeding?
it's your best source of shards for sub 50 crafting
hey all am new to the game am lvl 70 looking for a clan or ppl to play with show me the ropes am a healer if that helps.
there's the recruitment channels for FCs
check the recruitment chat once you select a DC in roles
ay guys, Im on free trial
if I pre-order endwalker on steam will I get the previous expansions ?
oh ok
Is there somewhere I can go browse for like in-game venues? Tried googling it but no luck.
usually party finder has ads
Party finder > other

Challenge Log ‘My Big Break’ desynth 5 items, get 10% exp of current level. Can you get this as a DoW?
No
no
If you buy Endwalker yes
Otherwise no
Stormblood is not being added to the free trial or Starter edition
Then yeah
EW includes SB and ShB
Yep you’ll be able to do that
So I have the full version of FFXIV under "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Free Trial" on Steam, is there any way I can move the installation to "FINAL FANTASY XIV Online" without re-downloading it?
Will Retainers have a max level of 90 now in Endwalker?
Yep
i maxed out all crafters and all gatherers minus fishing (lvl75) would you guys recommend me buy the level 80 gear to level up in endwalker for them or would the level 71 crafted gear be ok? how much faster would having the HQ level 80 gear help me level?
Which video is it that showcases the upcoming skills for all the classes? Also are we getting more glamour chest space in endwalker?
@vernal hinge Level 80 crafting gear are currently being sold below cost, as they’ll be antiquated soon, so it depends on how much money you have. Also, after Endwalker, prices for level 80 crafter gear will go up as nobody will be making it. For example, Facet Gear is very expensive, at least on my server. 💡🍡
Yea, definitely pick up that crafting gear. Also how is crafting going to work now that you can't craft HQ gear in endwalker?
You can craft HQ
you can craft HQ gear
Just not mats?
You can't GATHER HQ mats
its HQ gathered mats that are being removed
Ah, ok
Anybody know which video it is that showcases the upcoming skills for all the classes?
is there an easy way to get a summary of the story up until the point I'm at
its been about a year since i last played and im part way through heavensward
Yes, inn room and you can read it or just rewatch all the cutscenes
at the book which I don't remember the name of
thanks
there's also a summary doc in the pins of #archived-lore-spoilers
if you wanna give that a read thru
I read that there is a 1 hot combo for Primals by BLU. Is it Whistle>Tingle >Moon Flute> Final Sting? Just tried Ifrit Extreme and only brought him to 50%
Remember basic instinct
Pretty easy google search - search job actions trailer and it’ll come up
Thanks!
cool thanks ill be getting the gear then
I keep getting the "Unable to complete version check" error when I try to launch. I've restarted my router to see if that fixed it and it did, but then it made me reinstall the game. Then it kicked me out halfway through and I'm getting the same error again
Thank you!
and while yes it does Much Damage it isn’t simply a oneshot by definition
it’s just an obscene amount of damage
(Scholar question) - does my fairy gauge do anything in pvp?
I see skills that add gauge but no skill to actually...use the gauge o_O;
isn’t it dissipation?
check your skill book, there is... I think 2 skills that use it
are we getting more glamour chest space in endwalker?
Ok, yea, this trailer isn't really helping me narrow down what I want to play. I think I might need a new computer and monitor looking at how good this trailer looks
They mentioned hoping to have backend stuff in place to do glamour enhancements around 6.1 - 6.2 in a live letter (I believe I remember it anyway).
is there anyway to boost the download speed ?
its capped at 3mb/s idk why
On pc?
yeah
Whats your data speed from your ISP?
!faq xivlauncher
on steam I get around 25mb/s
https://fast.com/ go here

What is the blue spell that freezes every one in a cone? And something about a missile? I have the Rams voice(?) spell but that just does freeze damage in a circle around you. Doesn’t freeze any enemies 🧃
it does freeze in a circle around you
there is no cone equivalent
!action Ram's Voice
!action The Ram's Voice
Deals ice damage to all nearby enemies with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 50% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Deep Freeze
Duration: 12s
Scholars theorize that this particular spell was born of the variety of aetherial manipulation often performed by northern rams to survive the harsh climes of high elevations─but when ram became chimerical head, it began to favor offense over defense.
Chimera / Cutter's Cry
Dhorme Chimera / A Relic Reborn: The Chimera
Azulmagia / The Masked Carnivale #25
Type: Magic
Aspect: Ice
Rank: 2
All the blue spells seem to do the same thing; 220 damage in a cone with some buff (heavy, stun, lightheaded) how do you decide on what to use? On bosses, the buff is usually resisted 😮
it's based on elements or if it has a special effect
generally many of them are not worth using the other unless you are aiming for a certain element or its special effect
let me grab the guide sec
🍺🍡
it worked like a charm
thanks!
why does it choose to double upload
but yeah as you can see, the 'recommended' BLU sets typically don't have generic filler spells, only caring if a spell has a special effect that makes it worth running
typically the relegated filler GCD will be sonic boom for weaving room + another generic 220 for slightly more damage / filler + an aoe 220
yes
what does it mean when im sending retainer on a venture and it says it needs gathering 30 requirments
It's gathering stat
how do i get that
Give it better gear
oh okay tyty
at lvl 60, id rather do the gubal library dungeon (59) vs one of the lvl 60 ones right? Gives more exp?
That’s right

does phase 3 Nidhogg Ex still have breath cleave in between horrid roars and Stack Morn?
@outer mural thanks 🍡🍺
is it worth it to add materia to my armor now? im doing sb msq
if i've only got the starter pack does that mean my level is capped at 60?
Materia doesn't matter until cap
decided to get the game and used a fake address (since I'm not in one of the countries listed) now after buying it's asking for me to fill in my country and phone number again
is it fine to fake this?
also I just checked the countries list again and saw my country listed so I was wondering if I could use my own number and if it'll affect anything
lvl cap or until i have bis?
^
what does that mean in sprout terms?
Materia does nothing when you go into dungeons below your jobs current level
Gear that's above that level is synced down
in anything that isn't level 80 stuff
what's the faq command for buying the game?
oh okay, thanks
In y'all's opinion
!faq buyguide
Should I unlock PGL/MNK and level it now or wait for EW when it changes
Materia machine broke
!faq product
🤨
thank you!
You could level it now since the core rotation won't change unless you really want to level with chakra/the new beast chakra stuff
Is there a way to check if an FC tag is available without actually changing my current one?
Oh litty
Why does BRD buff not apply to the caster of the song?

just how brd is
it just doesn't
spaghetti code
SE decided to not give it for one reason or another. I concur it is odd
nah i think it's a matter of "they coded it in such a way that they literally can't" iirc
Even though the bulk of its special effects are reliant on said DoTs.
i'd believe it kech
its weird but I had to install acts just to see if I'm actually doing well as a BRD lmao
Bane would be too strong on brd
bard having bane would make it way too strong without a caviat
they'd have to make the dot do next to no damage to be fair
Or have next to no proc rate
in aoe*
i mean don't get me wrong it's not that big a deal to have a class be overpowered aoe but it'd just be the best dungeon class by a long mile
with it I actually realized how I'm lacking as dps
so far I'm noticing dots plays a huge role
idk how to feel about that
It's THE dot job
is it worth buying Peppered Popotoes for lvling gatherer
yeah BRD's damage consists of many manybits and pieces you need to upkeep
pretty much
with dots being the largest bit
brd is getting its own version of divination come ew so it should be a bit less depression then
This seems like a total beginner question but, I KO’d. How do I come back? lol I tried to use Return, hut it tells me Cannot Execute At This Time
it doesn't address enough of its issues for me go super duper like it but bard's getting some juice
Finale optimisation gonna be interesting
So... did you get KO'd in the overworld or a dungeon?
there's a menu icon that comes up upon death that lets you return or hit cancel
Bottom right by default
if it isn't there because you closed it out, it's bottom right yeah
Yeah, that.
Something like Home point
happens to the best of us

During early access
im equipping my bow but it switches to archer instead of bard and im lvl 48. how do i switch to bard?
oooh thank you
Gathering mana
unlock the miner class
or gather, or fisher
i just started lvling my miner todat
today
im lvling rn
your mana bar for miner is gp
next to your HP bar is GP bar
cus you either havent unlocked gp action and never use one
how do I proceed to making relic weapon in post arr? I don't have enough stats to gather the resources.
what's the closest available gathering gear I can get?
if you can't buy it off the boards, you have to level up.
lvl 50, all vendor gear(40-50 range) should be more than enough to gather those material
does bozja give spiritbond?
is there any way to trade tomestones of pageantry? i have 100+ that i forgot to turn in a while back 
no
I keep one of each Moogle Tomestone for the nostalgia
Is it possible to Unsynch solo Sigmascape V4 savage?
They return, but with new tomestones
Do you still have to synch dungeons to get 100% spell drop on blu mage?
They’ve yet to reuse any of them
gotcha ty
pageantry also explicitly stated it wouldn't be able to turn in after the event ended
Nope, you don’t have enough damage
And that’s not even considering mechanics
Damn, how many people do you think I would need. Want to get some glam from it
Due to the mechanics of O8S, ideally a full party
But think of the MGP you can get from it
Yes
The only spells that are always 100% are dungeon spells needed for job quests
Which is just Mind Blast and Glower, I think.
Angel Whisper from completing 30 stages of the masked carnivale
10s cast time with a 5 minute cooldown
What is the difference between the 2 fairies? Selene and the blue one? They both say will cast support when set to guard. Secondly, how do you set them to guard? And is there a 3rd?
5 minute cooldown
Why
Just looks
Because BLU needs a downside, MP is basically free to them if you’re not spamming White Wind/Diamondback
And they got a spell that they can spam for more MP
any less = sacrifice to skip mechanics
none, guard on by default and no 3rd
8 blu = 8 rez so rez must have long cooldown to prevent spamming :3
Anyway to get a cheap construction permit?
Buy it in the housing menu while standing on the plot
Unless MB has the permit cheaper, that’s the best you can do
I have up to 45 days to build a house, correct?
And to enter it, yes.
How do you get Res as Blue Mage?
look right above your other question

I'm starting to collect cards, but I honestly have to do around 20 wins from NPC to get 1 card. Is it because of bad luck, or do we have to do 20+ battles to get 1 card from NPC?
RNG
can you only collect one of each collectible
no you can collect as many as you like
just like you can buy a dozen of the same amiibo
bad luck, there's no win requirement on any cards iirc
sometimes you get it early sometimes you dont
thats how it be
worst case as you get repeat card
i think u can sell triple triad cards in gold saucer too i doubt its that much money tho
you're just throwing a like, 1d10 or 1d20 and hoping to roll 1
does bozja give spiritbond?
I did 20+ battles to get this card
It was only 3 star card, and do I have to do around 100 battles to get a 5 star card?
Can u login into ur SE FF14 account using the client launched from Steam ?
spiritbond is earned by combat xp, you don't get spiritbond for FATE xp
Crit, determination and direct hit. how important are these stat by ranking
depends on the job
but usually crit is better
no but if npc has more card to give, you generally need to duel more to get all
crit > dh > det
oh i see, thx all
completely random
soemtimes i get 5 stars in 1 duel sometimes i gotta wait a while
https://arrtripletriad.com/en/card-lyna seems like you were unlucky
Need some help finding all Triple Triad cards on Final Fantasy XIV? ARR: Triple Triad is the website for you! Here you'll find cards location, challengeable NPCs and much more.
it is why you always seem to get your gear spiritbonded while doing dungeons - dungeons give a craaaapload of combat xp, including the boss kill xp and last boss bonus
there’s only one npc where it’s near universally agreed the drop rate is dumb …
even for that one i know someone who got it first try so just .. rng
For some cards, it seems that I can get by MGP or through battle with npc. For them, shall I try getting MGP by this tomestome event, or shall I battle these NPC?
dont farm the event just for MGP, it's boring
just do fashion report every week and you'll have tons of MGP in no time
up to you … some cards require 1m mgp so start saving up
Like, I never saw this card in a battle https://arrtripletriad.com/en/card-nanamo-ul-namo
Need some help finding all Triple Triad cards on Final Fantasy XIV? ARR: Triple Triad is the website for you! Here you'll find cards location, challengeable NPCs and much more.
Should I buy these or fight with NPC for hundreds of times?
Honestly, is the drop rate pretty bad for ones where you can buy through mgp?
where do i hand in collectibles
appraiser
the nanamo one is super common in particular
collectable appraiser in any starting city and half the expansion cities and mor dhona
got 20 without even trying ..
tyty
dont ask me why ishgard, kugane and crystarium have no appraisers, seems like an arbitrary decision to me
but it’s not a straight drop from any npc fwiw. You participate in tournaments, you get a “reward”, you then use that reward to maybe get the card
i dont see a time frame for the collectible items tho
they're not timed
like they are all available ?
oh
so should i do all collectibles over the diadem ?
time frame are visible from BTN/MNR gathering log if those have it
diadem doesn't have collectables
ik
and you'll only see the timers in the gathering log once you've gathered that item once
i mean are collectibles better than diadem for lvling fast
yes, but diadem lets you kill two birds with one stone
DoL leveling is already quite fast but the real reason is the support they provide for DoH
gather materials for crafters while leveling gatherers, assuming you intend to level crafters via restoration
diadem is also more brainded .. and more contained, no teleport needed >.>
speaking of diadem, any requirement to fly in there?
is this the best way to lvl crafters cause im gonna do them after
restoration lets you be lazy
but leves are better exp, but have (potentially) higher requirements since you want to turn in HQ items. also not able to do leves freely, as you have to allowances to do them
i was able to fly straight away so /shrug
there's probably a requirement of level 50 msq, but you cannot reach diadem without completing it anyway
i can too cus i unlock all HW zone before entering but that supposed to be done anyway as this requires 3.3 so maybe by default
wheres the collectible apraiser in limsa
the shard in between market, some thing hawker alley
Is it worth to play as a gladiator until reaching level 50?
no, become PLD
ty
whats the best food you can buy in free trial ?
Can I still become a DKR once I reach the requirements?
you can play all job
Where do you get the Blue Mirage Coffer with that gear set?
Ah, I see. Were there any other requirements besides being level 50 and reaching the start of heavensward?
nope
Not sure if this question is allowed but didn't see a rule against it: Having a hard time picking a world this time, needs to be Aether if I want my name cause my old account has the name in Crystal and Primal, torn between Siren and Jenova cause, you know, trying to pick a community basically at random is nervous making :P. Wanna start from scratch since the trial includes all the content I owned, so I can try coming back without paying for a subscription out of the box, and I wanna reroll since it's been 6 years anyway.
Server doesn’t matter
whats the best food you can buy in free trial ?
Also how do I get access to a mount?
Do the msq
Ah alright. Tyvm @umbral dune and @boreal storm
all blue mage gear is earned through blue mage job quests
Thank you
as far as i know NPCs stop selling buff food after ARR, so probably some crappy level 20 food
you can craft level 60 food though
so you can craft stuff like
!item Priestly Omelette
*While similar to a regular omelette, this recipe perfected in the Vault's kitchens calls for a fistful of shredded cheese and mushrooms to further enhance the dish's richness.
EXP Bonus: +3% Duration: 30m
(Duration can be extended to 60m by consuming multiple servings)*
4% [42] (5% [53] HQ)
2% [19] (3% [24] HQ)
4% [44] (5% [55] HQ)
you will have to get pretty good CUL gear to do it HQ though
and even to start crafting it needs 995 of craft and 955 of control
I was doing the post master quests, and The Deputy Postmoogle isn't in Limsa anymore. The last one I remember doing is Of Siblings and Side-whiskers. Do I have to do anything special to get him back?
entire lvl 60 scrip gear give around 850 both so even need food to raise those stat
full galleykeep 200 gives 918 craft and 788 control
whats this for?
and i think rings and stuff give a bit
those are exchanged for current level materia
no
you should be using addle on raid bosses before big raidwide attacks
when?
most raidwide AoE is magic damage
Tier 7 and 8 materia
so you can addle to reduce damage dealt
but only do so if you can actually weave it without clipping
addle will become even stronger in 2 weeks, so remember it exists
does bozja give spiritbond?
I has question
forget about it until endwalker
That's useless after freeze
50 DRK quest to unlock Living Dead
What armor is || my dark side || wearing?
uh... I'm not up to date on EW BLM changes, but on ShB it is useless
And what weapon is he using 
Bliz 2 is your aoe option until Freeze
EW makes Blizzard II actually work where it casts centered on your target instead of yourself
if that's all it does, then there's still no reason to use it over freeze
I assumed you're doing level capped stuff
!faq blmlevelling
but sure
even pre freeze, blizzard 2 is hilariously bad for an AoE skill
!faq blmlevelguide
IIRC, it needs 4+ to break even
if i only want 3 umbral hearts, it would be faster to use freeze instead of b3 right? since the cast time is lower
freeze for b4 i mean
You don't freeze in single target
Pathetic damage and 1 heart, wasting and delaying fire phase
even if the cast time is 1s lower?
Literally doesn't fucking matter
the 1s is not relevant
Your gcd is still the same
can i just sell these materia V then?
If you want to do arr relics keep 1-4s. Rest can be sold
is squadron exp getting reset?
I believe the answer is no
squadron exp numbers seem reasonable, no reason to touch them really
when do you get leve allowances back
3 per 12 hours
oh okok ty
do subs get cut off by daily reset? like if resub a few hours before the reset I lose out on hours?
Btw
What are leon clothes part of?
Oh, I meant squall
I can't find them on mogstation
they are subscription rewards
keep subbing and when the time comes, they’ll be mailed to you
Oh
squall, firion, zidane iirc
for more specifics ^
the time added is added to after when your subscription would expire, regardless of when you resub
So I can get veteran rewards by subbing a lot? 
Or does the time have to actually pass
the sub check time is 7h before daily (same hour as weekly reset)
Veteran Rewards are granted based on the number of days subscribed rather than time played. For example, a player who subscribes for 90 days is eligible to receive the 60 day Veteran Reward on their first day.
Gotcha
so based on time bought ^
Can I still get the gobby minion from Veteran Rewards?
So I just hit rank 25 in bozja/zadnor and unlocked the resistances honors system. Do bozja and zadnor both give the same amount of mettle or is zadnor still better?

Zadnor is way better
How often do Fantasia go on sale?
Glints of light are supposed to look like this, right? With the square around the dot
No looks like gpu issue or something
People in #technology-discussion might know more
Ok yeah I just tested it and the bozja mettle is still crap 😦 I was hoping it would be an alternative to zadnor once you hit 25 and finished everything
yes
its just unfortunate
You would think they would make them equal, there isnt any reason not to. After 25 that is
There's plenty of reason not to
Like?
- less coding to adapt to a person's rank
- bozja sucks
using static numbers
is far easier and more reliable than making everything scale constantly to everyone in the lobby
Keep both zones populated
Zadnor for your mettle, BSF for leveling and majority of relic steps
Nah, still bsf for mette cause cluster farms spawn way more CEs
you can bang out skirmishes while people spawn them, join, go back to farming skirmishes
I highly doubt that works out as more mettle over time
It doesn't work out to more mettle over time
It is more items
But not mettle
Zadnor still more mettle
Even at z1 vs bsf z3
Not even considering dalriada which is 3mil mettle per run
dalriada is not even worth doing for mettle
The amount gained per ce in bsf isn't equivalent to even a small chunk of a skirmish in zadnor
Good morning.
Which part is the hard part for resistance wepaons? - HARDEST
It was a direct response to this Fluff
is Reprise something you use when you have to continuosly run for more than one GCD and there is only one enemy target?
uh... for a first time grind, the thing that takes the longest is the 6x 30 items
This is qnh not feelycraft
180 items single time grind
You try to minimise use of enchanted reprise
Can you expound on that, Fluff?
But its good for adjusting mana to fit your 2min cycle
Are lost actions depleted in use are are they repeatable?
What is that quest called, please.
depends which 1
Depends on the action
something like flare star is unlimited use
Idr the quest names but it's between augmented laws order and blade
How do I know which ones?
They will either have a counter for how many uses remain, or they’ll be permanent
Use this little helper to find all Lost Actions in Bozja Southern Front for Final Fantasy XIV Online
This will be my 535 wepaons, obviously and then mimesis lux for the reallll glamour
this site shows lost actions
You can see on the tooltips and on the action button
Ok so if it has a number it’s that many uses
Basically you lose your mind in zadnor
hover over them, see if it has a number underneath the icon
AHA
that means finite use
I see that my friends were in there for awhile.
so kinda like bleeding some mana so you dont overcap with redoublement?
Even for chain movement you'd want to consider either the encounter aligning with melee combo such that you have your verfinisher and scorch for movement, or you have swift up
Its for not overcapping for manafication yes
You can run 30x E1, E3, A2/4(?) and O1/3 to complete thr 180 step as well but if youre not done with rank 25 do zadnor
these things?
also, what do you spend your swiftcast on as RDM? the base 5s spells?
Aight; me and a friend will do so soon.
zadnor probably faster either way
I think so?
Its only faster if the zones are active
they are active though
Z1 isnt
Because my firend were there for like a week and they got it already
I didn't get invited to join
They are active most of the time
Yes it's good to use it for movement/raising/fishing for a proc

even Z1 is faster, you get 2 per CE
Idk what lucky ass lobbies yall get
and skirmishes can be spawned themselves
But i cant find anyone in z1 and z2
like there's always a sequence of them going
Keep in mind swiftcast will swap your dualcast and hardcast windows if you use it like that
I would suggest doing Zadnor until you have all but a few of the CE ones done
^
Hello Lyon
Then switching to raid for the last couple you need
Alexander is probably ok to spam cauze its like 90s per
Thank you.
Eden 1 is god awful slow
Hello 👀
a skirmish, even if synced up
takes like 3 minutes at most
and can be as quick as 30s
I will have to pace myself with my friend
My experience is that Z2 CEs* pop least frequently
yes agreed
So I ended up finishing those off with raids
Z2 is very under playered cauzse the area sucks to run around in
yeah Z2 is generally the worst
So if your current cycle is hardcast dualcast hardcast dualcast, then swift will turn it into dualcast hardcast dualcast hardcast and that can impact your fight encounter movement and positioning
Z1 only active if new to zadnor cause stuck there. Z3 always mega active cause farm trains
The rates got boosted
Thank you, Chan.
You can do it with blue mage too
Blue mage Fate grind knocks those out pretty quickly
ALWAYS
My Blue has been leveled and is phat
After having been traumatized by getting Night Bloom
I think I'm okay now
Hahahah
Azim steppe and the lochs were the more popular regions
Because you're synced to 70 for a lot of those fates
Meaning you shred them a lot harder using ilvl
Yes, Chan; noted.
Will have to do this during weekend;
I talked to a friend about this; who doesn't grind at all; - we finished RECOLLECTION and then we start with step 4
Law and Order and further to BLADE
On the side, personal; I am doing ANIMA too because @honest anvil is a bully
I'm almost done with **it; just you wait, I'll run around Limsa with my Memesis Lux
as RDM, if you already have both verstone and verfire procs, do you combo it with the same element and not the opposite so you dont miss out on potential procs?
and then balance it out after
Do you need to open the attire coffer to unlock the gear at the calamity salvager?
Yup

is there a penalty if im vote kicked multiple times in a day?
No
Might want to work on yourself instead
People usually dont kick unless you really pissed em off
Is there a resource on how names for different resources are lore wise? I'm curious
ah...there's an official forum sticky but I can't link it right now because the forums are under maintenance
let me find a copy of the info somewhere
Ping me if you do because I may or may not be asleep
http://ffxivrealm.com/threads/official-final-fantasy-xiv-naming-conventions.5077/ someone's copied the official forum info on the 5 ARR races here
can't find copies of the other ones easily
Save this link for when the forums come back up again in a few hours https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/63112
they should be up in an hour and 45mins
Thanks. Does Viera have one?
Yes but I can give you the gist right now
Can you alter how long it takes before you auto go on afk mode?
Yes. It's somewhere in the character settings iirc
Viera in their forest homes use Icelandic-based names, but when Viera leave the forest for the wider world they usually abandon their old name and take a new one.
Hmm, whats the max amount of time you can go before it auto afks you?
The examples given are naming themselves after something they like such as a flower or food, naming themselves according to the conventions of whatever culture they're around, or just whatever they like the sound of.
So the naming conventions for Viera are quite literally anything-goes.
Believe it's 30 minutes
You have free reign to name your Viera whatever MMO name you like and it's lore-friendly.
30 is an auto kick iirc
Also, forest surnames are usually their village name but many viera shed that one too
Wym?
When do the servers go down for endwalker patch? I know December 3rd is the first day of the expansion but when do servers go down
24h before hand
the day before early access maintenance should be 24h
after maintenance early access starts
Ah okay so Thursday, just checking so I know when to prep
You'll get a full day to download the patch
i swapped to a 120hz monitor and capped my fps at 60 but its sitting around 55-57 avg now. is that normal?
Capping your fps wont always leave it exactly at 60
did you cap with the in game settings
That's pretty normal for 60, but why did you bother capping in the first place
yeah i did it with ingame, GPU usage. im in 4k
ok so that cap is stupid
Dont use in-game, it's not reliable
because it halves your FPS
whats the better workaround?
so if you got 110 before, and you cap at 60, which is half your refresh rate
it locks you at 55
Do you have 2 screens
there are programs that cap your screen to 60 FPS when running specific programs
Playing in borderless windowed?
Me capping to 65 in my gpu software so I can watch Netflix
yep
Clicking off should auto set it to 30
20
120hz and 144hz and up monitors are a money trap, they force you into spending more on hardware to keep up with their max refresh rates
i'm saving tons of money by staying at 1080p60
that makes no sense
if you bought a monitor bottlenecked by your GPU
that's entirely your fault
depends on the games, it makes a difference all around
if you don't use it, you don't know about it
but CS:GO is like night and day
blissful ignorance saves the wallet
that's fair. but that's like people saying PS3 looks good on 30 FPS.
it looks fine if you haven't been exposed to anything better and/or can't afford something better
obviously 144hz and up are great if you have tons of money to spend to actually utilize it
Its not a money trap
if you've not seen anything better, it's fine to you
nowadays a 144Hz monitor is pretty affordable to be honest
120+ hz monitors are 100% worth the money
and yeah the main thing I was on is that it's not a money trap
then dont?
I can't notice too much of a difference from 240 from 144 I'll be fair
For the 2 new classes i need all others to be 70?
but limited exposure as well
Smells like broke but ok
Just one class at 70
that assumes you have the money
lets move to #technology-discussion
Theyre likr 200$ dude
Most of the kids playing this game blow more on fantasias lmao
(conviently omitting the price of gpus and other hardware to keep up with it)
move to #technology-discussion
1060 can run it at 120 but ok, move to tech and i wont follow ignorance
I agree, they're more a luxury than a necessity. but you can't say they're a money trap.
A real money trap is buying aesthetes or exarch rn
looks away in buying Neo-Ishgardian rn for glam
o i just upgraded to an OLED thats why i have the 120hz option
either way i ended just using an outside program to cap my frames, works perfect now
Very steampunk(?)
The chestpiece for caster/aiming is very nice imo
mm
just keep in mind this isn't perfect because FFXIV has to communicate with the program
but yeah, better than anything else.
what are these pins for
Just zones
gotcha
It's like charting a map in a sense of dotting where youve been
Nothing too special
Yep

I heard the price of tomestone weapon will be reduced to 500 in Ew but do the armor and accs still cost the same?
Quick question I have 60 memories of the dying for my resistance weapon but I can't turn in my quest
anyone know how to best get a 3d model of my current character?
I wanna print them, but all I can find is services that do everything for you.
i own the game on ps4 but want to play on pc (and on steam). which version of the game do i need to buy?
if you wanna play on steam, get it on steam.
mind you'll be bound to steam at that point and can't use the standalone pc client
so, endwalker on steam? don't i need the base game?
thx
Is your weapon unequipped?
Must be unequipped
Ar they all 3 different ones?
Probably yes, since they didn’t mention those.
Hi! I understand its a holiday and late but how do I unlock Copperbell mines (HARD)
what port site is POTD again ?
Gridania, Quarrymill
ty
found it!
Since when is this a holiday, tell my fucking boss
It's locked behind finishing arr
To be more specific, it's south shroud, quarrymill
Oh wait, aether, yanks
There's a metric shit ton of
around, just pick them up as you do patch msq
a lot of people think of thanksgiving as one
isn't it today?
I'm european, I don't understand usa stuff
american thanksgiving is different from canadian thanksgiving
is this the appropriate place to ask for song name from Endwalker official trailer?
The more you knooow 🎵
Footfalls
Although the actual trailer uses covers of the various main themes from every expansion so far
The stormblood one fucking slaps
I actually want the know the song from 2:00 onward
That's specifically that stormblood part I mentioned
isn't that just like how the shb trailer theme is a mix of ||hades|| & the ||credits|| theme?
truthfully, is it worth it
Did the "STORM OF BLOOD, BORN FROM BLOOD" not clue you in?
please tag spoilers
to unlock hard version
hard version of?
dungeons
it is spoiler - tagged???
like all of them?
It's needed for some arr relics, but it's strictly optional
I am dumb, ignore me
Well, arent there achieves for completing them
There's like no dungeon completion achievements afaik
Largely yes
I thought that's from Heavensward
XD
it has a full questline, and some really hard achievos w/ the "stronger than x" fights
You canonically killed a squid with nothing but auto attacks for your first spell
hmm
BLU is side content
If you know how to use it, it's stupid overpowered
But it's basically an entire side mode of play
And you can't use it for most content normally
Listen to the lyrics
Oh wait I'm mixing up segments
That's hw yes
But that just sounds like a no lyric version of heavensward
I'm decaffeinated
I keep forgetting which heavensward song it is from
Heavensward
Psa: Endwalker maintenance times announced on lodestone
24hrs as expected
Which Light (EU) servers are preferred/ have an XP boost again?
Yup
!preferred aether
Wasn't there any?
Nopr
Is Idyllishire the first city where I can use a mount but cannot fly? I unlocked all HW aether currents I believe
Yup
There's another hub like this in stormblood
The Shadowbringers equivalent hub is way too stuck up to let you use a mount
it’s small and easy to access the important stuff tho so w/e
I got through all that ishgard walking, wasn't too bad*
can you be more specific?
Question. I'm close to the level 20 quest "A Hero in the Making" if I keep on speedrunning the msqs from now on, how long will it probably take till I reach level 50?
