[jade quartz]

Extremely rare

[forest sage]

and you don't get a ton of stupid fishes in your bags

[cursive ridge]

so is Identical Catch used for those special big fish that require like 5 hard fishes first?

[jade quartz]

It can be yes

[forest sage]

sometimes, depends

[cursive ridge]

so you catch the 5 faster

[fringe lotus]

Do alliance raids come out same time as Endwalker or is it like normal raids where theres a release schedule?

[jade quartz]

6.1

[slate arrow]

Every odd major patch

[jade quartz]

Alliance raids are in odd patches

[slate arrow]

.1, .3, and .5

[forest sage]

you can use Identical Cast then use Double Hook to guarantee it and fish multiples, assuming you're not using patience

sometimes just identical cast, sometimes nothing cause you need to conserve gp, really depends on the situation

[jade quartz]

I tend to identical+double the first few and then conserve gp as I get close to the amount needed

So I can ensure patience uses throughout the intuition window

[cursive ridge]

how the heck did people discover the requirements for big fish? madness

[slate arrow]

patience, practice, patience

[jade quartz]

Fish discords go hard

[slate arrow]

it's just the fisherman's way

[obsidian patio]

lots of experimentation and group effort

[jade quartz]

When expansions launch there’s a subset of people who are doing fish world prog rather than anything else

Compiling spreadsheets etc

[obsidian patio]

Basic = Raid endgame
Advanced = Glamour endgame
Master = Fishing endgame
Grandmaster = Mahjong endgame

/s

[slate arrow]

granted half of it helps that the weather schedule was leaked years ago so they probably have some people who just optimize fishing attempts during the windows to get the maximum theory crafting out of the way

but that's just the joy of FFXIV

[jade quartz]

Yeah weather algorithm is solved

[slate arrow]

there's multiple endgames to pursue

[jade quartz]

It would be a nightmare without that

[slate arrow]

I can't wait for it to rain on the moon at 3 in the morning with a requirement of catching 12 of the rarest fishes which only come out at noon Eorzea time

That's satire but

also dangerously close to the truth

[modest igloo]

im looking for the joke

[slate arrow]

rain on the moon

[cursive ridge]

me: now that i have white scrip gear i should probably finish that Titanic Sawfish quest i've been holding for a month
the game: you thought that was the end of it? HA

[modest igloo]

star shower 🙂

[slate arrow]

oh god

[jade quartz]

Titanic sawfish isn’t even a big fish

[solid fog]

Can you trade arr beast tribe dyes ?

[slate arrow]

yes

[forest sage]

yes

[cursive ridge]

the fish after it are

[solid fog]

I need someone to gimmie fashion weekly dyes xD

[forest sage]

they're just normal dyes you can craft iirc, no unique dye, they're just sold for convenience

[cursive ridge]

i thought i would just do the titanic to clear my quest log

but the game just laughed in my face

[slate arrow]

[jade quartz]

Dragons deep is work

And yet in the grand scheme it’s baby mode

[obsidian patio]

A sucky part about big fish is that they have a capped catch rate

so being in level 80 gear isn't very different from being in endgame 50 gear

besides more GP

[cursive ridge]

green rarity denotes big fish, right?

[obsidian patio]

yep

[cursive ridge]

now that I have started it, I see why quests give you buckets of cordials

[slate arrow]

I've hit the point where gatherer scrips are near useless so I've just been stocking on hi cordials

[barren granite]

how to get the tank mount ?

[forest sage]

there's achievements, just do the achievements(it involves just clearing content as a tank, the armored version is 61+ content)

[zinc orbit]

[barren granite]

oh i need to be in a tank role ?

[forest sage]

a few things don't count, like savage iirc, but random dungeons, normal raids and trials all should work

oh the tank tank

thought you meant tank mounts

as in the role tank

[barren granite]

ya the tank tank 🙂

[forest sage]

the mini tank is for dwarf tribe

in ShB

[little swift]

If you're talking about the tank tank is a beast tribe mount

[barren granite]

ok cool

[little swift]

You need crafters to do it

[barren granite]

awww dam

[prisma hill]

Hey what will happen to all the belts in my posession?

[obsidian patio]

any crafting class at level 70 or higher

[prisma hill]

If I don't get rid of them now?

[forest sage]

oh nvm

[modest igloo]

unequibbable in 6.0, gone in 6.1

[obsidian patio]

https://sqex.to/Dh3FU

goes over all the details

[prisma hill]

but i can desinthesis them ?

[obsidian patio]

the only thing you really need to worry about is extracting materia from any belts at 100% spiritbond.

[modest igloo]

ye

[forest sage]

yeah desynth/turn in for GC seal/vendor, the usual

[modest igloo]

desynth, sell, whatever you need

[jade quartz]

They’re not gone in 6.1

[dim quarry]

hey all, what comes with the collectors edition of endwalker? do both standard and collecters have ealry access etc? its not showing on steam the differences.

[forest sage]

collector has like a mount and a minion and stuff, they're otherwise the same

[prisma hill]

where will the belts go to?

[jade quartz]

Six legged horse mount, minion, death scythe glamour weapon

[prisma hill]

Will there be a temporary storge or something?

[slate arrow]

The only difference is the addition of cosmetic items

[jade quartz]

Purely cosmetics

[dim quarry]

thanks guys

[forest sage]

calamity salvager if they're in a slot that doesn't exist anymore @prisma hill

[jade quartz]

All the information is in the link above

[slate arrow]

Read the link.

[prisma hill]

I did, don't see where it goes

so i ask

[jade quartz]

Look again then

[prisma hill]

cant you say if you know?

[forest sage]

Although belts can no longer be equipped after Patch 6.0, they will not be removed from the game. However, the following belts will be given to the Calamity salvager, and can be retrieved if you so choose:

[prisma hill]

thx

[obsidian patio]

Belts in your inventory/saddlebag/retainer storage will be left untouched

[prisma hill]

ok guys I know now

👀

[jade quartz]

We don’t ask much of you other than that you read the things we link you 😔

[prisma hill]

everyone decided to post the smae thing xD

[sleek needle]

Why would you want to retrieve the belts tho?

[cursive ridge]

to desynth them

[jade quartz]

Desynth, gc seals

[obsidian patio]

sell for gil, turn in for GC seals

[sleek needle]

Ah fair

[prisma hill]

desynthesis

[forest sage]

remove materias in them, desynth/gc seal

[slate arrow]

keep as a souvenir

[prisma hill]

trade it to streemers

[sleek needle]

Figured you wouldn't be able to turn in for seals like a Dumbo

Makes sense 👍

[spiral mango]

is it possible to open a browser window in the game ?

[cursive ridge]

with a plugin maybe? i don't know of one

[slate arrow]

by default no

[cursive ridge]

if you're playing on steam you can use shift-tab to open overlay

[spiral mango]

im not playing on steam ;-;

[spiral mango]

yeah i meant with a plugin

[slate arrow]

just play with borderless windowed and use your browser of choice

[spiral mango]

i am playing with borderless

i want to have both open at once

[cursive ridge]

consider buying a second monitor, they are very handy

[spiral mango]

the window i want to be resized to small

[cursive ridge]

even a crappy old second hand one will make you appreciate having it

[spiral mango]

i dont have the money, monitor or space to do that

[cursive ridge]

money is not an issue if you're okay picking up a crappy monitor from something like office going out of business or something

those usually have obscene deals

sometimes even free

[spiral mango]

like i said, theres no space

[cursive ridge]

second monitor is like heroin, once you've had it, you'll wonder how you lived without it

[spiral mango]

yeah i know it makes a big difference

[cursive ridge]

@spiral mango

[half kraken]

Can a trial account do a free server transfer to OCE?

[spiral mango]

i tried that but it wasnt what i thought it was

has to do with programming iirc lol

[forest sage]

you can just install a chrome/firefox plugin to make it always on top

and then just use that

[slate arrow]

If you can access the home world transfer service from mogstation, but I believe FT accounts cannot

[half kraken]

Uh oh lol

I just got 3 Australian friends into the game telling them they can transfer to OCE for free when it's out

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

It's free to check anyways

Should be under additional services

[half kraken]

Oh well teehee

[forest sage]

trials probably won't be able to transfer, although we'll see

[slate arrow]

Actually I think it may definitely be the latter as they're designated as "New" worlds

And the rewards exceed FT limitations

[cursive ridge]

@spiral mango i mean, it works

it's kinda scuffed but it works

easier to just alt tab to a browser

[spiral mango]

wtf

[spiral mango]

how did u do that tho

[cursive ridge]

i created a new inlay

with the google.com address

[spiral mango]

and pasted somehere the adress?

oh hmm

[cursive ridge]

it's really scuffed

[oblique mortar]

Hey, I have a friend who wants to play reaper in EW.. and I was debating playing dragoon, how much of an issue will it be sharing gear in raids?

[robust notch]

Fight for it

To the death

[cursive ridge]

everybody shares gear tokens in 8man raids

[oblique mortar]

So it doesn't matter if you have a class overlap?

[cursive ridge]

you will roll against each other in 24man

[oblique mortar]

in 8 man

[cursive ridge]

as that drops gear pieces

[faint flare]

And savage drops coffers

[oblique mortar]

So in savage do you need to be careful on gear sharing?

[faint flare]

Normal mode has tokens people roll on

[modest igloo]

theres always class overlap with coffers

[oblique mortar]

Not familiar with savage

[faint flare]

People focus giving them to dps first in statics

[modest igloo]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[modest igloo]

whichever 2 of you is doing more DPS should get the coffer first

[oblique mortar]

Sounds stressful

[modest igloo]

thats savage for ya

gotta meet the DPS checks

[slate arrow]

gotta kill the boss before it kills you first

[oblique mortar]

Maybe I'll just tank xD

[spiral mango]

problem solved, ty

[slate arrow]

then that means you'll get need rolls on coffers after the DPS and you'll have to fight your tank assuming your static is sticking to a need/greed schedule

[modest igloo]

gotta outdamage ur co-tank lol

[oblique mortar]

[upper cove]

Also, if you're in a static

Youll eventually help each other get gear anyway

[spiral mango]

woah...

[upper cove]

So in the long run it wouldn't matter too much

I'm still debting how j should prioritise my gear allocation for ew

For my static i mean

Is it still usually dps > tanks > healers?

[modest igloo]

ye

then you feed the dps doing the most damage from there

[upper cove]

Are there cases you wanna give tanks or healers first

[slate arrow]

No

generally and usually no

because DPS is king

[modest igloo]

510 covers thier needs pretty well

[gloomy mortar]

Will there be higher level GC turn ins in Endwalker? Or still just level 80

[upper cove]

O⁷

[modest igloo]

higher level turn ins yes

up to lvl 90

[gloomy mortar]

Does completing the blue mage quest line give you anything? Looks like the level 70 staff has the same stats as the level 1 🍆

[slate arrow]

You'll be able to turn in up to level 89 gear on 6.0, level 90 gear will be included in a later patch

[slate arrow]

You can meld Stormblood materia onto the staff though

[modest igloo]

theres some currency stuff from the lvl 60 quest

like the cute justice minion

[gloomy mortar]

🍡

There is level 90 DoW gear in Endwalker right?

[slate arrow]

yes

[gloomy mortar]

Just not turn ins

[modest igloo]

lvl 90 everything

[slate arrow]

it'll be the AF5 set which will be item level 560

Alongside 580 accessories and weapons from the first two EX trials

[gloomy mortar]

So hoarding Revised Manuals that give +15% exp for crafting/gathering is unnecessary since you have the turn ins?

[modest igloo]

if thats how you wanna level sure

[cursive ridge]

15%? do you mean 150%?

[gloomy mortar]

Yeah

[cursive ridge]

there will be new manuals in endwalker

since these are halved above 80

[slate arrow]

They're still worth using if you plan on crafting manually instead of just buying the leve turn ins

and we'll be getting more ishgard crafts as well

[gloomy mortar]

So how will the Coffee Buscuit Le quest change? Still triple HQ turn in?

[cursive ridge]

vastly reduced amount of gold received

is what we were told

[slate arrow]

reduced gil, EXP drops to 10k once you exit the level bracket

[gloomy mortar]

So no point in trying to level CUL to 90 with cookies?

[slate arrow]

that's how it always been yes

[obsidian patio]

triple turn-in leves as a whole will be nerfed with EW

[slate arrow]

Leves are only useful while within the level bracket

[obsidian patio]

to have a gil reward more in line with leves that want only one turn-in

[slate arrow]

That being said expect a reference or two joking about coffee biscuits in Endwalker either referencing the popularity of the leve or reference ryne and gaia

[spiral mango]

is there a way to reset your big CDs while fighting a dummy?

[gloomy mortar]

Will level 8 materia be useful in pentamelding level 81-89 gear? Save level 8 materia or sell them before price presumably drops?

[faint flare]

8s can't be pentamelded past the first slot

[obsidian patio]

pentamelding leveling gear is generally a waste of time

[slate arrow]

DF > undersized party > queue in > leave instance

[modest igloo]

save them for blue mage upgrade

thats when last expacs materia sold well

[obsidian patio]

Just stick to the open slots and maybe first overmeld

[spiral mango]

ty ^^

[gloomy mortar]

Ah, so there will be a level 9 and 10 materia?

[slate arrow]

probably?

It's been consistent since Stormblood anyways but who knows what they may do with the Endwalker stat squish

actually that was a lie, Stormblood didn't have new materia tiers introduced

[obsidian patio]

stormblood was just tier 6 materia

tier 5 was HW

[slate arrow]

delicious lack of consistency

so yeah who knows what they might do with EW

[gloomy mortar]

When does 6.1 come out?

[strange talon]

when I try to add crysta I get this message:
'' ERROR (11000)
A technical issue has occurred.
Try accessing the site again. If the issue still has not been resolved, please contact the Square Enix Support Centre. ''

[patent frigate]

How do I know how much dmg I'm doing to a dummy

[slate arrow]

about 4 months after the raid patch 6.05

[jade quartz]

!faq act

[slate arrow]

That's the neat part you don't

[zinc orbit]

ACT/Parsing

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.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

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.

[jade quartz]

You can’t know your dps numbers without a third party program

[patent frigate]

Welp

[slate arrow]

You can try and math it out but it's generally imprecise and not very reliable

[vagrant torrent]

So I'm fairly new to the game and wanted to know if getting into crafting is worth it?

[obsidian patio]

it's nice for the self-repairing, but not strictly necessary

You can make a lot of gil, but gil itself isn't that useful if you're not doing endgame content to buy raid supplies/gear.

[slate arrow]

it's 100% optional and you can perform endgame content without having to have crafters touched

[modest igloo]

and at the same time ,crafting is a endgame unto itself

[vagrant torrent]

ok then I might put it off for now

thanks a bunch

[gloomy mortar]

Will there be level 80-90 job quests?

[slate arrow]

no

[gloomy mortar]

😮

[slate arrow]

role quests however will be returning

[gloomy mortar]

What’s role quests

[warm snow]

Not even a level 90 job quest

[warm snow]

Go play shadowbringers

[jade quartz]

What Shadowbringers has

[gloomy mortar]

I did

[slate arrow]

@oblique mortar no.

[jade quartz]

Then you did role quests

The Cardinal virtues stuff

A questline for each role

[unkempt agate]

how do i join other's party instead of waiting 10 minutes per run ?

[gloomy mortar]

So it’s just a generic quest for any DoW/M

[jade quartz]

With like Granson and Giott

[olive trellis]

you've probably seen this question a bazillion times but: I bought StB/Shb through the endwalker preorder, do I get access to those when early access releases or am I out of luck

[warm snow]

[jade quartz]

No, specific to each role

[warm snow]

Remember how one wanted a healer, one a tank, one a caster etc.

[slate arrow]

yes

[jade quartz]

Yes you will get access to SB/ShB on Dec 3

[slate arrow]

you gain access when 6.0 maint ends

[olive trellis]

pog

[warm snow]

You will lose them if you don't put in the actual game code during early access

[jade quartz]

There will be five different role quest lines in Endwalker:
Tank
Healer
Melee DPS
Physical ranged dps
Caster dps

[jade quartz]

No they won’t…

[olive trellis]

that does sound farfetched but I'll keep an eye out either way

[jade quartz]

If you forget to put in your full game code during early access then you’ll just be locked out when Dec 7 hits

[gloomy mortar]

Sage and Reaper only have 70-80 job quests ? 😮

[jade quartz]

At which point you can just go “whoops better put in my code now” and put in the code

You can’t lose anything

[hollow turtle]

this is a farfetched question

[slate arrow]

yes just like how gunbreaker and dancer only have 60-70 job quests

[hollow turtle]

but what's the cheapest cul collectable to make to grind yellow scrips

[slate arrow]

You'll still need to have finished your role quests for their relic gear though, but this time you can also dye em

[warm snow]

Same difference

[slate arrow]

The most efficient one is the espresso pon crema

you can use botany to gather everything

[jade quartz]

You made it sound like it was timegated and you could completely lose access

[warm snow]

Except the water and yak milk

[hollow turtle]

aight, that's what i was using

gonna grind tokens before they disappear

[slate arrow]

*mostly everything

[warm snow]

I mean you can get yak milk with reaper so that has to count for something

Lol

[slate arrow]

fair

Unqueue > click the cog on the top left of the duty finder menu > enable join in progress > requeue

[gloomy mortar]

Will trusts go up to level 90?

[warm snow]

Yes

No you don't need to level them up to use them for the story

You will need to level them up to use them for grinding in ew dungeons

[barren granite]

is sigmascape from doing deltascape progression ?

[forest sage]

yes

[umbral dune]

there are no party looking to run what you currently queueing, even when you use duty finder, you very likely have to create your own party

[warm snow]

It's the second tier of the omega series

Like how the second tier of Alex is blah blah of the father

Iirc

[barren granite]

cool ty

[warm snow]

The next one is called alphascape

[solid garnet]

wich one do i redeem?

[silver ruin]

prepurchase

[slate arrow]

Prepurchase

[silver ruin]

cant use the standard code till the 7th

[solid garnet]

oh

ok

[silver ruin]

also the starter edition if you havent redeemed that

[slate arrow]

You can redeem standard after 6.0 maint

[silver ruin]

oh

[solid garnet]

i go here?

[faint flare]

No

Preorder code

[solid garnet]

where is it?

additional services?

[obsidian patio]

click the "your account" button again

sometimes not all the buttons show by default

[solid garnet]

oh also, so when Dec 3 hits i'll be able to play stormblood? i've done all free trial

[slate arrow]

correct

this is ASSUMING you have redeemed starter

[solid garnet]

NICE

[solid garnet]

ohh this one?

big red button

[obsidian patio]

the button should specifically mention the pre-order/early access

that one is for shadowbringers

[slate arrow]

You can't register Endwalker yet

[solid garnet]

oh

[slate arrow]

You can only register the early access code

[olive trellis]

so if it looks like this I'm all good(?)

[slate arrow]

yep

[gloomy mortar]

Will diedem be increased to level 90? Or stay 80

[solid garnet]

so i am like this, have i done it right? i just cant put the endwalker standard

[slate arrow]

Yep looks good

[solid garnet]

ok tysm

[olive trellis]

should be all done and dusted until EAccess

[solid garnet]

[olive trellis]

time to

[slate arrow]

Make sure to redeem the regular EW code after maint ends

[solid garnet]

yeah

time to sleep and wait dec 3

[solid garnet]

when does it ends?

[slate arrow]

24 hours after it starts

[jade quartz]

Dec 3rd

[slate arrow]

unless they delay it further

[jade quartz]

Maint ending = early access launch

[solid garnet]

oh duh

mb

makes sense

WAIT SO I HAVE 6 DAYS TO FARM MOOGLE THINGYS?

time to prae

[olive trellis]

6 days to get my anima weapon monkas

[solid garnet]

i totally forgor 💀

[leaden ginkgo]

Context, i have a realm reborn and heavensward

If i buy endwalker, do i get stormblood and shadowbringer too?

[olive trellis]

yes

[slate arrow]

!faq buy

[zinc orbit]

How to buy the game

Click here for NA

Click here for EU

Click here for JP

Image by /u/Alimantado

[olive trellis]

it's one of the more cost effective ways to buy the full game if you don't mind waiting until 3 dec

[solid garnet]

yeah, you're just like me haha nice

[slate arrow]

STARTER and FREE TRIAL are two different entities

[leaden ginkgo]

i have starter

[slate arrow]

Make sure you know the distinction as Endwalker by itself won't do you anything if you're on the FT

okay then you're good

[leaden ginkgo]

i saw that starter was 10 euro, so i got it

[slate arrow]

nice!

[olive trellis]

do you not have to register starter before you even have the option to register EWpre?

odd

[slate arrow]

no you have to register starter or complete first

mogstation literally won't let you do anything else otherwise

[solid garnet]

true?

[slate arrow]

yes because the EA code is only valid until Dec 7

[solid garnet]

lol weird

[slate arrow]

It's to give physical pre order a grace period so they can play

which is no longer the case now that FFXIV is all digital but

eh details

[solid garnet]

6 days

im going to die

from the hype

[olive trellis]

[solid garnet]

oh, i really wanna know this tbh, when early gets live
will i be able to change my miqote to a male viera?

[obsidian patio]

yes

[solid garnet]

dope

now its time to use my fantasia

[olive trellis]

the most important question.

[warm snow]

9am ST December 3rd

[hot eagle]

early access goes till the 10th

[olive trellis]

no longer shall I be cursed with mockery for picking the guy with the cool horns

bun time

[solid garnet]

bottom energy time

🥶 sheeesh

[warm snow]

Pro tips: get your fantasia, drink it now and log out naked before maintenance. Pre make your bunny Boi on the benchmark as the data can be reused

[solid garnet]

oh it makes sense

[warm snow]

This way you won't have to login twice on launch day cuz queues will be BAD

[solid garnet]

oh, so i log out 1 day before after drinking it

and i'll be on my character creation screen?

[slate arrow]

no you can drink it now

The changes won't be applied until you select confirm in the character creation screen

[olive trellis]

imagine if EW quests give another free fantasia specifically for the bunny brigade

[slate arrow]

no

[olive trellis]

won't happen but

[warm snow]

You can drink fantasia whenever,its not actually used up til you change the character via character selection

[warm snow]

They didn't do it for, aura, hrothgar or viera so they ain't gonna start now

[slate arrow]

they only gave a fantasia with the HW collectors edition

[obsidian patio]

they kinda did for Au Ra in the form of the Heavensward Collector's edition

[solid garnet]

my friend its in starter with me, and he thinks that we'll only be able to play stormblood dec 7 (or 10 idk the full release date)

im not gonna tell him

that we can play dec 3

hehe

[warm snow]

I don't count it cuz ce meant more irl moneys

[solid garnet]

only when it hits

[warm snow]

Cheeky, but fun

[olive trellis]

[solid garnet]

i'll be like "why dont you login and come to stormblood with me huh?"

[olive trellis]

don't think this is the channel for chatting tho

[solid garnet]

yeah tbh

off topic

anyways

[solid garnet]

no more?

[slate arrow]

Make sure to start up the launcher during the maint so you can download the expansion content as well

[solid garnet]

would like a free fantasia

[slate arrow]

since you'll need to download Stormblood through Endwalker

[solemn jewel]

U can't get one

[solid garnet]

sadge

[slate arrow]

Better pay up for that gamer juice

[warm snow]

You got it for beating arr

[olive trellis]

you get one(1) which is fair

still got it in my pocketses lel

[solid garnet]

but wont it download it untill i put the ew code?

that'll be after maint

[ivory badge]

is there an /emote for a wave that Tataru does?

[slate arrow]

you already have EW in the form of early access

[warm snow]

Pretty sure that's just /wave for lalas

[slate arrow]

Lalafell /wave

[solid garnet]

that's the common wave no?

but just for lalas, sometimes they have diff ones

[solid garnet]

thats ok then

[ivory badge]

I don't think so. lala wave is hand stretched high. tataru does that chest high quick wave

[slate arrow]

/greet

[solid garnet]

so open launcher in maint, it'll start downloading, and redeem code after maint ends

now we wait

[slate arrow]

I'm fairly sure you can redeem it once mogstation maint is over

[warm snow]

Which isn't til servers reopen afaik

[solid garnet]

this one, ok got it

nice then

[ivory badge]

hm, I don't have /greet. maybe I need to unlock it

[prisma hill]

Will resubbing be closed on the 2nd?

my sub just ran out, was planning to do it right before Endwalker hits.

[slate arrow]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Greeting

[slate arrow]

You won't be able to perform most mogstation duties during the maintenance

[agile laurel]

./greet is an MSQ unlock

[prisma hill]

Also races have som unique emotes

[fossil bloom]

is there any way to give the free ARR fantasia to someone else?

[slate arrow]

@ivory badge Stormblood 4.2 MSQ unlock, you'll need the full game and expansions

[agile laurel]

no

[slate arrow]

No

keep it for a rainy day

everyone gets one anyways

[prisma hill]

if you could do that, people would make free trial accounts only to get it lol

[fossil bloom]

define rainy day

[prisma hill]

New race comes out?

You get bored of your current looks?

ect

[slate arrow]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[limber hound]

iirc you can use it and the option to edit appearance won't expire until you actually go into the menu

But I don't think anyone let the option idle long enough to confirm that

[forest sage]

I've had a fantasia active since SB

it came for "free" with a 60days gametime card thing

[prisma hill]

You finally get 2b thighs and change to viera

[forest sage]

but I've never needed to use it

[prisma hill]

no one has to use itlol

its just visual

[limber hound]

ooh

That's longer than I've held onto mine

[forest sage]

yeah was saying, I used it, it just stays active forever, no need to waste inventory space

[olive trellis]

essential question: why can't I unhear the alexander leitmotif in the Mor Dhona bgm

[jade quartz]

Fantasia stays indefinitely

[waxen siren]

Just as a not you might want to make a new character just to see whether you like the animations and emote before you fantasia

[jade quartz]

Until you go through with it and confirm changes

[tulip zinc]

Should I use these now or wait for Endwalker and exchange them?

[slate arrow]

I'd say wait for EW

[forest sage]

if you have items to upgrade, buying now will save you the poetics spent on upgrading, otherwise no difference

like for example if you have nier coins or too many nuts and still doing hunt trains

[tulip zinc]

But these can be exchanged later no? So do I start EW with 6000 poetics if I keep them?

[forest sage]

3500

revelation is 2:1 and allegory 4:1

[tulip zinc]

Oof

Guess I'll keep them for lvl 80 augmented gear

[forest sage]

but if you don't have upgrade items then no reason to use now, if you do have upgrade items, you save 100poetics per item you buy and upgrade before, that's more or less the only difference

[tulip zinc]

for RPR

No items sadly

[ivory badge]

oh ok. I'm in 4.1

which ones

[zinc orbit]

Success!

@elfin tangle has been muted by @gleaming mist for 1 day!

[scarlet venture]

All of them to see if there are specific drops for certain maps.

[jade quartz]

There are, check them out on gamer escape

It’s a big topic because higher level maps can open portals to treasure dungeons

[slate arrow]

all of them have specific drops based on which expansion they were released in

[scarlet venture]

Ok I missed it. Thanks @jade quartz

[leaden ginkgo]

so er

I have 3 hq coffee biscuits from a reward so

do I turn them in?

[jade quartz]

Sure

You can turn in up to 9 using one leve allowance though

[lost sable]

if i want to get some medium quality gear for a new class, would doing NG+ and getting all the MSQ armor and weapons be a legitimate way?

[faint flare]

Ng+ gives literally nothing

[lost sable]

ah so the MSQ rewards are one time?

[jade quartz]

NG+ does not give the item rewards again

Yep

[warm snow]

It's purely for story

[faint flare]

It just gives generic gear

[potent pine]

I'd be rich as hell if NG+ gave out free gears lmao

[jade quartz]

NG+ gives no exp no items no gil no nothing

[lost sable]

i see

any other recommendations for good gear while i level?

[faint flare]

The stuff dungeons give you

And tomes

Levelling dungeons give you 1 guaranteed piece per run

[lost sable]

what are tomes?

[faint flare]

Poetics

[potent pine]

Yeah I'd say tome gears on 50, 60, 70, 80 and dungeon gears on 55, 65, 75 etc

[lost sable]

the currency?

[faint flare]

Yes

Poetics

Tomes

[potent pine]

You can trade Tomestone of Poetics for gears

[lost sable]

kk

thx

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean I'm just wondering if I should just toss it instead

[jade quartz]

One turn in will only give you a few k

It’s whatever

The power of coffee biscuits is the bulk

[vestal sail]

Yo anybody know any promo code for pre ordering endwalker by any chance?

[jade quartz]

If you only have 3 it’s not worth worrying about what to do with them

[leaden ginkgo]

queue for frontline roulette is more than 30 mins so is there fast ways to earn wolf marks

[jade quartz]

Do it when it’s not the crack of dawn

[leaden ginkgo]

wait what time is it

[jade quartz]

Frontline pops fast and often during the peak activity hours of the game

[potent pine]

Guys does FFXIV have a pre-load just before an expansion launch? I was wondering because this is my first launch experience and my internet is not the fastest.

[barren granite]

does lv 5 petrify work on bosses ?

[regal pawn]

i believe so

[jade quartz]

It’s early morning in the US

[regal pawn]

Bosses tend to be immune to bullshit blue spells

so probably not

[jade quartz]

Some early ARR bosses

[forest sage]

you can download the patch at some point during the 24h maintenance

but no actual preload before that

[jade quartz]

Yes, the download will become available partway through the 24h maintenance right before launch

[potent pine]

Ah okay then, what do you think the download size would be? If i remember correctly the download size for ShB is like 20gb but they say that EW is their biggest expansion yet

[forest sage]

probably around the same, don't think they've said

[leaden ginkgo]

Wait what even is NG+? How does that kind of thing work for an MMO?

[last mural]

Any1 got a guide on how to get Field Note 17 Lyon? I want to get it from the duel because Castrum is annoying me, but I've never dueled before, and I heard there's a way to cheese the fight?

[forest sage]

actually shb seems like it was 10gb

[faint flare]

It resets your story progress

Simple as

[glossy flare]

it's just a way to replay certain questlines

[forest sage]

so probably 10-15

[glossy flare]

without any rewards

[faint flare]

Just remove all the story flags and give the quests again

[brittle blaze]

Question, on ps4 how can I use the screenshot mode?

[slate arrow]

Group Pose via Actions and Trait or /gpose via the chat box

[faint flare]

Type /gpose or use the action from actions and traits in the other tab

[brittle blaze]

Thxxxx

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can I find cheese in this game?

I want to make millions selling cheese

[honest anvil]

!item cheese collection

[zinc orbit]

**Cheese Collection** **:** Table : ilvl 430

Why in the gods' name would a person amass such an amount of cheese? A peculiar obsession? A craving that transcends all reason? Some manner of cheese-related divination known only to a forbidden sect? Whatever the reason, one can only hope that the results are still saleable.

Powered by XIVAPI

[honest anvil]

the game has you covered

[leaden ginkgo]

Not the furniture

The food itself

though the furniture is still good

[honest anvil]

there are blue cheese, stone cheese, cream cheese at my first search

so good luck with the business o/

[slate arrow]

50 ocean fishings give or take a few

They just give a stupid amount of EXP

there isn't any, I'm guestimating at least a level per ocean fish, but it's highly likely you'll be getting much more than one level per run the lower you are

Regardless it's once every two hours for basically minimum effort fishing, you're getting a decent chunk of EXP at the end regardless without needing to focus specific fish

[forest sage]

fishing is like the 2nd fastest job to level after BLU

well besides crafting with leves buying I guess

although you can do the same with fishing so it still holds there

[slate arrow]

I'd say a little more than 4 because diadem only offers passive EXP iirc compared to collectibles and leves

[forest sage]

it's just very fast, you get a ton of xp just fishing random crap, ocean fishing just gives you higher value fishes+fast fishing animation(during spectral)+bonus at the end on top that's a ton of xp

[slate arrow]

I also leveled my fisher before ocean fishing was a thing and unfortunately nobody has really tried to calculate ocean fishing EXP as far as I can tell

The short version: ocean fishing extremely fast

[jade quartz]

Fisher leves are great if you want dedicated speed leveling since you can just buy the fish and turn them in

But ocean fishing is low effort, show up every 2h and do whatever you want in between

And still works out very fast

[atomic forge]

[cunning island]

Quick question for controller users. You can display the WXHB hotbar on top of the XHB hotbar, but I want to be able to show the L2>R2 etc hotbar instead of the double tap trigger hotbar, is there a way?

[faint flare]

No

[cunning island]

Because I find the double tap a bit clunky

damn okay, unfortunate

[faint flare]

You can only show it indirectly make turning on a regular hotbar and putting the skills on there

As a Cooldown tracker basically

[cunning island]

Right, that's what I was thinking, it kinda sucks that you're not given to option

Thank you for the answers!

[waxen sky]

Double tap is clunky so i just set the WHXB display the L2>R2 (vice versa) instead :D

[cunning island]

wait, how did you do that

LOL

OH

Make it so that they're both hotbar 2

Why didn't I think of that lmao, such a simple solution

[primal relic]

When EW drop will all my hot keyed skill be reset?

[jade quartz]

No

Skills that have been removed will be greyed out

[primal relic]

Oh thnk god

[grim cypress]

wait is there no inventory autosort button

[tranquil valve]

I still have Dark Arts and Protect on my bars.

[jade quartz]

Right click sort

Can also keybind a macro for /isort

I think that’s the command

You can make a macro sort your whole armoury chest tab by tab too

[grim cypress]

there is no sort button on right click OH GOD

[heavy wadi]

you have to right click a full slot

[regal pawn]

right click an item

[grim cypress]

ok panic over thanks

[tranquil valve]

It is. You can even add subcommands. I add "/isort condition armoury ilv des" to my Job swap macros so that when I change jobs my gear isn't left in a mess.

[grim cypress]

you got a macro for job swapping?

[tranquil valve]

Technically gearset swapping, but essentially job swapping.

[jade quartz]

Normally you just job swap by selecting a gear set, but you can add macros to that if you want to add other functions like the aforementioned armoury sort

[tranquil valve]

For example, if you have a PLD gearset as #2, then the macro "/gs change 2" will automatically equip that gearset instead of having to navigate the menus.

[mild mountain]

How do i know how does a voice sounds like when taking dmg? There are only emotes voice test

And in yt i found attacking voice

[jade quartz]

You can just drag and drop gear sets to hotbar, you don’t need a macro for that basic functionality

[tranquil valve]

True, but making a separate macro will also allow you to add other things like my aforementioned /isort command or a /titleset to change the title for that Job.

[flint dove]

when endwalker comes out and max increases will the amaro still be from every job at level 80?

[slate arrow]

Yes since it's tied to the level 80 achievement

[ionic estuary]

I bought Endwalker (steam) and added pre-purchase code in mog station. But where do i enter standart edition code? That option disappeared.

[flint dove]

okay cool

[slate arrow]

You don't

[faint flare]

You can't yet

[slate arrow]

Standard code is after 6.0 maint finishes

[ionic estuary]

gotcha, ty

[pale birch]

um so i wanted to infuse heaven's eye materia IV but this showed up, am i doing something wrong?

[modest igloo]

gotta do rank 1-3 before 4

[faint flare]

You start with lower tiers first

[tranquil valve]

You have to add the requisite amount of the previous tiered materia.

So Heaven's Eye Materia I

then II and III and so on.

[pale birch]

ohh i see, so i keep doing this till 31 then?

[leaden ginkgo]

what am i missing and how do i get it?

[regal pawn]

Probably 1 msq dungeon
Twinning and Akademia Anyder

[tranquil valve]

It's been a long time since I did ARR relic, but I believe the 5/31 is just for that specific substat in total, not the amount of materia needed.

[regal pawn]

in Crystarium
in Eulmore, in the slums

[modest igloo]

5.3 dungeon too

[regal pawn]

no wait, you did twinning

so yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

yes

what is the ??? before the grand cosmos?

[regal pawn]

Anyder, Heroes and Anyder

Akademia

in Eulmore, in the slums

The other 2 are

[pale birch]

oh i see, ill just try adding enough heavens eye I's then, thanks for the advice

[leaden ginkgo]

so the ??? after twinning is in eulmore?

[faint flare]

Eulmore slums

[leaden ginkgo]

ok, thx

does playing in eureka uses my well rested exp?

what's a good way to farm the moogle tomes if u are not a blue mage?

[midnight tinsel]

Open the group as tank yourself

And invite 7 blus

It depends if the queues for it are still good or not.

[chrome bay]

cool, ty

[fringe reef]

can I send mails to my friends, that are on different world than mine?

[faint flare]

No

[sinful holly]

is there a way to find out what content i might not have unlocked? i see 4 locked high end duties in PF

[bleak nimbus]

am i correct that since we need 600 points in fashion report to unlock spring bottoms, it will take us at least 6 weeks to be able to buy it?

[faint flare]

Of 100 points Yes

[bleak nimbus]

so 6 weeks right?

[forest sage]

probably ultimates @sinful holly

[jade quartz]

There is no such thing as an FC apartment, only house

A house is, well, a house. They’re in instanced neighbourhoods of 30 plots of land, sizes small medium or large. There are a limited number of plots so getting one is difficult.

Houses can be owned by individuals or FCs

[karmic brook]

https://open.spotify.com/track/5nFrmVaWs7s89ygzbLy9DM?si=Z7wHJvliRIm1If9xYN0WaA&utm_source=copy-link did I spoil myself with this song

It sounds like a boss fight

[thorny yoke]

not rly

[jade quartz]

Apartments are just one room with no outdoor yard. They can only be owned by individuals. There is technically a finite number but there are still apartments available on every server so in practice everyone can get one.

Also unlike houses which you lose if you don’t enter them for 45 days, apartments are forever

Apartments cost 500k gil

Housing plots cost 3-3.75mil for a small, 15–20mil for a medium, and 40–50mil for a large

The price variation depends on the grade of the plot which is kind of an arbitrary parameter and boils down to how good the view is from the location

[fringe reef]

thank you so much for the detailed info

[jade quartz]

[thorny yoke]

it is a boss fight, but you won't be running into it if ur just doing the MSQ

[jade quartz]

That’s from the level 70 raid series

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[jade quartz]

Yes in pure time-exp efficiency terms

Boring though

[modest igloo]

Msq is still better

Daily is stronk

[small siren]

Any particular reason why dungeon lag is becoming an issue with me

My connection is good :/

[hallow wolf]

Katon always is more efficient to use at only two mobs and above compared to raiton?

[faint flare]

Yes

[hallow wolf]

In terms of raw numbers I mean

[faint flare]

Just compare potency

!action Katon

[zinc orbit]

**Katon** : lvl 35 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Deals fire damage with a potency of 500 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Mudra Combination: Chi→Ten or Jin→Ten
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

[forest sage]

if it's pulling info from the lodestone everytime I'd guess so but no idea don't use it

[boreal aurora]

https://i.imgur.com/f98P6Zt.jpeg where is the npc

[forest sage]

hermit's hovel?

northwest all the way down the road

I'd assume based on the quest objective

[cursive ridge]

does character breast size have an effect on clothing? i've heard that some clothing augments your dimensions, but do they mostly follow your chosen sizes? thinking of using my free fantasia to reduce my breast size a bit as it looks a bit much

[regal pawn]

it does affect it

[jade quartz]

Yes clothes models scale to your character’s chest size as you’d expect in real life

[regal pawn]

Some gear scales differently iirc

[cursive ridge]

hm, alright

[regal pawn]

like the Dirndl top

but ye

[cursive ridge]

is there some way to access that character breast slider while in your clothing for preview?

[jade quartz]

No

[boreal storm]

Go to the hot springs in the north

[real sequoia]

what is the best way to level up DoH jobs?

i started pretty late

[tranquil valve]

The Ishgard Restoration.

[regal pawn]

leves tbh

[tranquil valve]

If you've got the money to burn and the leve allowance, then yes leves

[queen fern]

Tradeleves are faster, but Ishgard Restoration has no limit and lets you upgrade crafters and gatherers at the same time.

[regal pawn]

You also need money to burn on resto tbh

if you want it fast

[dry pelican]

is it worth going for aesthete gear or should I skip it come endwalker?

[regal pawn]

skip

you'll throw it away the moment you step into ew

[queen fern]

Unless you're trying really hard to craft Exarchic Gear at this point, Handsaint is more than enough to handle your daily crafting needs.

[real sequoia]

cool thanks

[tranquil valve]

Hardly. At least compared to leves. You can buy massive amounts of mats for barely any gil

[dry pelican]

thanks evelynn and reppuzan

[queen fern]

👍

[dry pelican]

actuallly i didnt do resto route, leves/dailies/ and eventually crystal deliveries were great

[forest sage]

well resto is just cheaper leves basically

[dry pelican]

leves are however getting nerfed in endwalker if i remember

[regal pawn]

their gil income

cause it's too much rn

[forest sage]

triple turn ins are getting nerfed back in line, but other leves are getting a bit better, so leves will still be good

[dry pelican]

leves can be a net zero/positive up to a certain point

[forest sage]

more importantly you won't have a choice at launch anyway

restoration also generates money, those scrips actually have decent value, while leve mats are really high for older expansion stuff

it's generally just a better way to level although there's some ranges on which some leves due to being cheap items are better

[dry pelican]

50 or 60-80 was were i find was good

below that if you have the patiences(might be too late now) was through dailies

[limber hound]

8400 restoration scrips buys you a mount

[dry pelican]

and low leveled firmament

[limber hound]

[queen fern]

You also get some good hairstyles from this.

Living Legend (FFI Hero hairstyle) is very popular.

Saintly Style also looks good.

Not to mention emotes like "Lean".

[dry pelican]

i guess in the end it depends how much starting cash you got yeah?

if you go the buy your own mat route for firmament

[queen fern]

Or just gather things yourself?

[leaden ginkgo]

Is the lv90 cap coming at EW release? Or in a future patch of EW?

[hot eagle]

release

[eternal seal]

Hey I've got a POTD question. Is it possible to bind the attacks from the transformation pomanders? (resolution, rage, lust)

[proper roost]

Will I be able to go higher than lvl 60 if I preorder EW? Or I can do this only when EW released?

[lilac mason]

only when EW early access releases

which is in less than 1 week

[faint flare]

On the 7th as per the faq on the site

[forest sage]

you cannot bind pomanders no, have to click them or use keyboard navigation(which can kinda let you use a pomander without clicking it if you double tap confirm and the curso was on the right pomander) @eternal seal

[autumn hedge]

Can you get moogle tomes from any of the roulettes?

[forest sage]

if you get moogle content yes you'll get tomes

for example MSQ roulette will always give you moogle tomes, but the other stuff is RNG depending on what you get

[regal pawn]

Best way is to just queue up for turn 2

[proper roost]

Damn I wanted to finish at least Heavensward before buying EW. Now I have no reason to finish it cause my lvl is capped at 60.

[regal pawn]

you can DF it cause it's braindead

[autumn hedge]

I was just curious. Yeah Turn 2 with all BLU is great

[regal pawn]

not even blue

just Duty finder

takes around 3 minutes

still more tomes per min than running a dungeon like Baelsar's

[autumn hedge]

True

[limber hound]

That's how it usually is once the MSQ levels are 60 or some other multiple of 10

They don't give XP because they were not intended to give XP

[solemn jewel]

Lvl up another class

[regal pawn]

not that

they're capped at 60

but

I don't see how that stops you from doing msq

[limber hound]

or rather

[regal pawn]

msq xp waste is whatever

[solid cedar]

How big are the chances of getting caught with ACT?

[regal pawn]

it's braindead easy to level up alt jobs with the armoury bonus

[regal pawn]

if you don't talk about it

0%

[limber hound]

Even without the cap, the XP it gives is pretty puny

[forest sage]

ACT isn't really a thing they look for, they only care about harassment reports

[solid cedar]

Uploads to FF logs though? I mean, they could see who uploads them right?

[regal pawn]

they don't care

[solid cedar]

hmm aight then

[regal pawn]

unless you start using it to harass people

Also

[forest sage]

there's literally hundred of thousands of fflogs updated

[regal pawn]

It doesn't immediately prove you're the one upploading

[forest sage]

even if it did

[regal pawn]

It could be someone else in your instance that uploaded it on an account that has your character linked to it

[proper roost]

I doesn't stops you, it will be a lot of wasted exp into cap

[regal pawn]

📣 it literally doesn't matter lmfao

[forest sage]

you have dozens of streamers live using ACT too, they ultimately don't care at all

[regal pawn]

roulettes shower you with xp

leveling is braindead

[forest sage]

the only thing they care about is harassing people because of it

[solid cedar]

I was watching that interview with Yoshi P about ACT yesterday. It's pretty much a grey line from what I understand.

[regal pawn]

Don't use it to harass

And don't be an idiot

or if you want to be super safe

don't mention it at all

if it's premade

it's whatever

[solid cedar]

Yeah he also said something along the lines of: "If you're talking in chat about someones numbers you'll get a penalty for harassment first" basically implying to me that they only care about the harassment part

[regal pawn]

so if you load into a dungeon as 4, you can talk about it

but if you harass

report, robably instant suspension

[solid cedar]

Aight then. I'm just really curious on how my damage numbers are and to improve myself so it's whatever

I was doing the first few Eden raids yesterday and really wished I had ACT with it

[regal pawn]

just saying

your dps will be low until you start getting thte 520+ gear

so a mch with bis will beat you most of hte time

[solid cedar]

Anyone know why the ACT installer needs a firewall exception and gets some red flags on virus total?

[forest sage]

well, I mean, with randoms, you'll see some shit

[regal pawn]

ACT can use network data

to get info

It's trusted software, just the way it can get data is fishy to AVs

[solid cedar]

I got full set Exarchic gear at 510 (weapon, equipment and accessories) so I'll be fine probs

[regal pawn]

exarchic isn't much compared to aug cryp + emorn + relic wep

[proper roost]

So they give us 30% exp boost for EW preorder just for lvling in realm reborn and heavensward if you are a newcomer is that right?

[forest sage]

no

[solid cedar]

I know, but see no reason to grind new gear when EW is literally days away

[forest sage]

you get an earring that gives 30% xp

[faint flare]

That works for 80 and under

[forest sage]

there's no boost, you have to equip the earring, and yeah goes up to 80, and combat xp only

[regal pawn]

up to 81, technically

stops working at 81

[forest sage]

oh yeah 80 and below it says, forgot how the previous one worked already

guess I need to remember that

[regal pawn]

same way

X and below

[proper roost]

Up to 80 for a newcomers that doesn't have any previous expansions?

[faint flare]

Any preorder

[forest sage]

yeah I mean I didn't remmeber it was like that thought it was up to 80 only

[faint flare]

It doesn't matter if you're new or not

[regal pawn]

newcomer is preferred worlds

[faint flare]

If you preorder you get the earrings

[regal pawn]

that's 100% xp from everything up to 70

80 in ew

[forest sage]

there's no preferred world currently is there?

[faint flare]

No

[proper roost]

But you told me that I can't go higher than 60 until December 7 if I preordered EW

[regal pawn]

you can't

[faint flare]

Yes

You can't

[regal pawn]

the preferred world bonus doesn't care what your cap is

you won't earn any xp past 60 if you don't own the expansions

[proper roost]

Sorry, but what is preferred world?

[faint flare]

Road to X xp buff

Doubles all xp to that level

[regal pawn]

worlds where population is "low" in Sqenix's opinion
So they make it preferreed

so they give it an incentive to new players/characterss

[serene steppe]

Hmm I'm worried

I was thinking of buying a sub on December 3rd to maximize Endwalker time

But I'm worried Mogstation is gonna break and not allow me to sub due to how many people will probably do the eame

What do I do?

[proper roost]

Btw, do I have Dragonsong War Quests as a player with a subscription but no expansions?

[minor fulcrum]

Yes, you get all of heavensward

[regal pawn]

you get everything up to 3.55

[solid cedar]

Anyone got a recommendation for the ACT overlay?

[eternal seal]

Sorry for being late, but that is not what i mean. When you use the pomander you get an ability to the side of your bar. Like for example resolution does the big AoE but you gotta click on the map. Which gets tedious on higher floors. I'm trying to figure out how i can bind that extra hotbar to something

[regal pawn]

Kagerou

[minor fulcrum]

Kagerou

And then make background some weebshit or eggman devito

[regal pawn]

i can send you over my config for Kage

[solid cedar]

What makes Kagerou so good?

[solid cedar]

Uh sure

[regal pawn]

got 4/8man simple, 4/8man complex and 24 man tabs

and it's just

easy

it's fresh looking out of the box

[sleek needle]

And pretty customizable

Can have DH crit rate up on it and whatnot

[solid cedar]

Looks sexy. I'll take it

[sleek needle]

I hate the default colors of the classes tho pasted them all in a text document and redid them

[solid cedar]

So is the D% and total the damage on all enemies during an entire instance (eg boss + adds or whole dungeon run) or only for a specific enemy?

[regal pawn]

total for the encounter

[solid cedar]

That's dope as hell. Also works for dungeons then?

[regal pawn]

yeah

ACT automatically splits encounters based on a time you give it

so if nothing happened for X seconds, it'll split it as seperate encounters

so it'll split trash pulls and bosses (usually)

[solid cedar]

Oohhhh

That's sick

[regal pawn]

Need to finish SHB, but yeah

[solid cedar]

How much time is X seconds?

[regal pawn]

by default, 6s

[minor fulcrum]

Whatever you set it to

[solid cedar]

@regal pawn could you send me your config file?

[forest sage]

@eternal seal char config > hotbar settings, at the very bottom, pet hotbar auto setting select either both pet+bar 1 or only bar1, also maybe(not sure) tick the option below auto replace hotbar 1 with per bar when mounted. This should replace your hotbar1 by your pet hotbar, which is the additional bar you get when transforming, making your beam/claw swipe action thing into the first button(usually bound to 1 by default)

you still have to ground target

[eternal seal]

Thank you! That sounds like what i've been looking for

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello, can you buy an item that gives you more experience in the store?

[forest sage]

like it'll be 1 > click on ground

can't make macros to autotarget sadly

[eternal seal]

Ah that kind of sucks, but its way better than having to click on the ability then click on the ground. Almost died at floor 100 earlier because of it

[forest sage]

@leaden ginkgo some of the costumes have a small bonus xp up to lvl 25 or 30 but offer no stats so they're pretty shitty for that, besides that they sell boosts to lvl 50-70

[boreal storm]

No just to 70, then next week there’ll be 80 skips

[spiral mango]

ehhhh why the fk cant i just have different keybinds for each class

how am i supposed to do this work

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can I buy this exp bonus up to 70lvl because I was looking in an online store and I can't find it?

[boreal storm]

!faq skips

[zinc orbit]

What does each skip do?

Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.

Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME> Journey This item increases a given job to level 70. It will not skip your story progress to level 70. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 70 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl400 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS

[spiral mango]

i cant organize skills the same way for all classes

[serene steppe]

There isn't

You have to play in a New/Preferred worls

If your World doesn't have it you can't have it

[limber hound]

It's either skip all the way to 70

or the long way

[digital hazel]

Any tips and tricks for targeting enemies in FF14? It can get a bit hectic targeting enemies.

Especially in Frontline. Not to mention that the enemies dont appear on the enemy list until you hit them.
I usually tab cycle really quickly
but thats unreliable
and no idea what focus target is for either haha

[heavy wadi]

tab targeting

that's it

[forest sage]

focus is a target you want to easily come back to or track, especially used for raiding although I could see a use for pvp in feast

[minor fulcrum]

Just use target closest

[forest sage]

basically you focus target the boss(or a healer in pvp), and then you can target someone else but still see what the focus target is doing

as for frontlines targetting it's just a mess

[minor fulcrum]

If youre sweating in frontline nobody will like you

[forest sage]

target closest or tab targetting is basically it, and it's all fairly shit

[rich moss]

weird question, but is there a way to get rid of this blue area above the map without having to close and reopen the map?

[forest sage]

I don't have that

[minor fulcrum]

Just move your map to the top of the ui

[lone drift]

anyone who is good at the striking tree (extreme), that could help me? ive queuet for it twice, but none of the times ive done it, and i need to do the raid to get forward with the questline!

[minor fulcrum]

You dont have to do any ex trials to progress msq
