hi, for the grand company levequest Blood in the Water, I was able to get four luminous crytals from the earth sprites that react to the /poke emote and use them on the dirty mongrels to wicked souls. however i was unable to use them to find the wicked souls. I used up all my crystals and when I tried to go to the earth sprites again, the command "the earth sprite does not respond" is shown. I am already at my second try and I am not sure what is wrong?
Bitter Memories of the dying also drop once per day from leveling roulette and also one for every completed level 60 dungeon
equip the gear
Well right click him and it will tell you
wear your SCH job gear
If you discarded it for whatever reason you can buy another set from the Calamity Salvager, 1000 gil each
@storm fox wrong channel.
no, for that step they'd have to go talk to the npcs again iirc
Got it, thanks
just wondering any summary for what to do for 2nd shb relics
Everything except haunting/vexing and 180 Zadnor itens
1000 poetics to start, 60 memories, 6 bitters. 15 loathsome, 15 artifacts and 15 emotiond
What spells will Paradox replace on my hotbar in Endwalker for BLM?
I think it replaces fire I and blizzard I? should be in the trait list
yeah nvm, but should be these seeing as how it does the same thing just better
yeah it does checked a video
Hey guys, I'm still lvl26 blackmage (thauma) but if I can recall Ice spell regen mana and the tooltip doesn't mention anything about it. (it has been many years last time I play Thauma)
In your job gauge info
Enochian is becoming a trait so that'll be off your hotbar too
yeah it's not the ice spells directly, it's the umbral ice buff you gain from casting ice spells that increases mp regen
well when you start pretty sure they explain it with a popup
Yeah lol, I stopped playing that job 2 years ago. Just don't recall anything haha
Ty all tho
fire 1 and blizzard 1
Blizz 1 is not on my hotbar
implicit but not direct in the description with its effects, but otherwise tested during media tour gameplay
you may still not need blizz 1 because it replcaes both iirc

so you can just rely on fire 1
Will Eorzea really be deleted in Endwalker??
who told you that
yeah he's probably playing off the fact that there is an upcoming apocalypse level event in FF
but eorzea is certainly not getting removed from the game considering it's

80% of the maps in the game
how do I change my carunbles back to egis?
and we're not expecting cataclysm level reworks
For farming Vexatious and Haunting Memories, is it better to do FATEs or queue up for raids?
/egiglamour “Garuda-Egi”
/egiglamour “Ifrit-Egi”
/egiglamour “Titan-Egi”
Are we getting a housing area for Endwalker? As in, a new place to buy houses?
TYSM! I got it from the wiki tho
lol
That should be enough time to get enough gil

They're also reworking the housing system entirely
So it'll be a lottery to buy a plot
HI! I usually level Summoner but I wanted to set up my Scholar hotbar/gear so I could swap to Scholar for leveling, but I ran into an issue. It says 'Succor' is an action I have not learned yet, but I'm level 57 and it's a level 35 spell that according to the wiki isn't unlocked by any type of quest, so I SHOULD be able to use it... is there something I'm missing?
I mean I went to Gridania just to see if I missed any quests and it doesn't seem like I am
Ah, they're in a differen area? Might be what's wrong then
I only decided to level Scholar so my queues weren't as bad since I use Summoner to do quests but queue times take forever
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
It'll be at 2 when you're a scholar
Oh, I didn't know that, ty!
I've been leveling uh
4 jobs at the same time
so I don't have as much work later
it's a lot to keep track of 
Whatevers at 2 is higher priority than the msq
ty
hey, does anyone know how to get the dyable shadowbringers armor?
Memoria EX
specifically for summoner
how does one unlock that
Bozja
gotcha, thanks man
Hey should I be worried about the auto-download on PS5 for Endwalker? Will I still be able to play the game after it finished?
Should be fine
You'll be fine
Thx
whats the blue portion?
For very obvious reasons
oof
You won't get an update until the game is down for maintenance
!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Assuming that's a modded hud
Well guess I have to delete another game on my storage 😂
Can you link to the parse?
Which games ... We need to think this through
Idk, aDPS to rdps?
i cant sorry its just a picture someone sent
No idea then. :/
rip
Dunno yet umm.. Black Desert, Genshin, Hitman 3, Tales to Abyss, Code Vein, and I need to search the rest up lol
Ask them?
I may move Code Vein to my external storage
Delete genshin
they dont know. its not theirs. but i got this
😂
so its a ept
Then that’s your damage and Ifrit put together
p[et
pet
having a stroke tyvm
also % is showing what % of other players your score is similar too correct
not what % youve exceeded
as in 95th percentile would mean you perform the same as 95% of other people of your class in that instance
nvm
wrong
95th means you’re in the top 5%
I went to debit now for Endwalker & Square Enix didn't throw an error
However my bank blocked the charge for suspicious activity
call your bank
Should I just contact my bank & allow it & it should be okay?
Or do I have to redebit it once I get my debit card unblocked?
nothing we can do
call your bank lul
what are those pots people use in ultimates ect
Or do I not have to
they will tell you what to do
Hmm ok
Grade 4s are fine
Same with food
As they work on a percentage
grade 4 tincture of (x)?
Yes
is it a janky weave to put into stuff
kinda
as you're doing combos
have to spam the button, and don't double weave anything
It can only be single weaved
It's kinda like a macro
Gotta press it at the right time
And single weave
only have to pop like 3potions per fight though so even if you clip a bit it's not the end of the world
well ultimates I guess a few more
cause the fights last forever
also I wouldn't use pots on ultimates until you actually need more damage to clear
oh yeah
they're pretty expensive, good performance boost but something you basically start using when you think it'll give you the kill, or once you're farming to farm faster/parse
food on the other hand you want on all the time
much cheaper though since it lasts 30mins(45 if you pop a food buff thing)
then I assume you want a specific food ect
well there's BiS food, but any high ilvl food is "good enough", largely the important part is getting the vit for more hp
stats it's the usually picked stats for dmg, crit/dh/det, whatever has the most
This is going to be my first expansion launch, so I have to ask, what's going to happen to the allegory armor sets? Are they going to be put into a shop for poetics? Or are they just going away
Has anything been said about how much of Heavensward / post HW needs to be done to get Ishgard housing?
would assume that you need to finish up through 3.3, as that's the requirement to do firmament
yes, they'll be moved to be purchasable with poetics
pre-augmented too, most likely
hmm given the changes with 5.3 and the QoL that came
there's a chance it will be augmented version
It's at least not gonna be available at launch, right?
Does that go for apartments too?
iirc yes
Hi! What's the fastest way to level up from lvl 30 machinist? Want to prepare for endwalker role quest
Only missing ranged phys
!faq altlvlguide
Thanks
Thanks.
Dancer starts at 60 and might be faster in that regard
My problem with dancer is it is rng heavy
% chance to activate many of the skills right
Can I solo PoTD as a viable way to level a machinist? Or is it one of those that difficulty does not change based on how many players there are, and it just makes it harder, and I should try to find a party for?
And 50% is very generous
It's much slower
That's it
Cause 1 guy is 4x weaker than 4 people
Solo POTD is much slower and relies a lot more on your skill and being lucky with pomanders
Hey so I'm an older player getting back into XIV. I just resubbed today, and I'm looking forward to starting again. However the launcher is giving me some grief. It says "This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired."
PC player, through steam, if that helps.
Basically, it's viable, but less efficient.
Are you using the Steam version of the launcher?
Sigh. I hoped that wasn't the case, and that instead I would be able to shut off my brain and do this by myself.
Nothing in primal about people wanting to just level. Thank you for the help! :)
yes
Go to your mogstation and take a screenshot of everything in this image.
You’re not a steam account.
all right
You’ll have to use the standard launcher
oh
!faq download
nice
Keep in mind that if/when you purchase Endwalker (you only have through Stormblood registered, from what I see in your screenshot), you'll need to do so through the SE store or, if through a third-party vendor make sure the key you buy is for the PC version, not the Steam version.
Will the game get a graphics update patch or are there no plans for that for now?
Like, for old content? Probably not.
is there somewhere new players can go to power level?
No like the world itself and characters
engine overhaul will not happen for a long time
no, that's not a thing
MSQ is power leveling.
you have to do msq
ok
This is a final fantasy game first mmo second,
Literally EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress.
Content doesn't expire and rushing to the endgame is not how the game is meant to be played.
Ok what about character graphics update or something like that
To be fair power leveling does exist for alt jobs, but you need to have progressed far enough in the MSQ to make it work, because it's dungeon-dependent, and dungeons unlock with story.
The graphics, that run through the engine and effect literally everything, changing the engine would be about the same amount of work
So no plans for that now oh well
again not gonna happen for a long time, they'd literally need to entirely change the game engine
Short answer is no. Longer answer is that each zone and NPC model is created with the lowest system requirements for that expansion in mind. So ARR zones look really low quality because they're basically still a PS3 game, while Stormblood and Shadowbringers look better because they're a PS4 game.
Huh what about heavensward
graphical mods exist to improve the quality of player and character models but that's it 
hey it worked! Thank you!
HW is still PS3
Heavensward is ps3
They could update the texture resolution, especially on hair, and that could be an option in the future since they're not gonna make any more races™️*
welp rip lol
Probably a dumb question, my friend is on Gilgamesh and I’m on adamantoise, can we still play together or do one of us need to make a new character
wrong reply kat
Still ps3, but had more development time so it looks better than arr
i wrote that as you deleted it 
Then why did you still send it?
You can play together since you're both on the Aether datacenter.
Ok thanks, already sunk 13 hours into this character
i sent it as you deleted it I meant 
Yeah, not an issue there. If you want to quest together, you can world visit to each others' servers. You can also be on each others' friends lists and party up for instances together.
The only thing you can't do is be in the same free company.
And you can still do dungeons and multiplayer content cross world
Chocobo experts: Do I start trying to inbreed, or should I wait until my pedigree is higher before focusing too much?
yo question. do yall think that on EW release theyll make cryptlurker gear available augmented from poetics right away?
I usually recommend going for good star ratings around pedigree 6-7
Yes
It's immediate
im assuming theyll remove the previous method using tokens and the tomestone right?
ok yeah then i made a huge miscalculation
i pre bought them in prep for reaper but then i forgot about that
I heard for the amina wep the blue crafters scrip tokens won't be a way to make crystal sands once endwalker comes out. They mention what the alternate way would be?
If 6.0 does what 5.3 did then all of the following will happen:
Eden Savage won’t drop tomestone upgrade items.
YorHa raids won’t drop the coins for upgrading.
Current and past Tomestone gear from SHB vendors will come pre-upgraded.
Have they announced that after DC travel is implemented, will Duty Finder be cross DC?
highly doubt it'll be cross dc. that'd be a nightmare
Yeah
how do you accept and do beast tribe quests on job classes? wiki says you can but it tells me I have to be DoW/M
Sounds nightmare hard to implement
not all of them are for dow
Which tribe and what level are the jobs?
That's combat
pixie is dow only

Pixie is a combat beast tribe
Crafters are dwarves
gatherers are qitari
alright ty
for fashion report, does it judge based on projected glamour or base appearance of a piece of gear?
glam
It bases it on how you look
What's up with some people though? I'm a new player and the game is extremely fun but I have a question. I ran into the Brayflox's Longstop dungeon with 3 dudes as part of the MSQ and told them that I'm deeply sorry if I end up making mistakes for being new and I struggle with concentration at the moment. Once we went through the dungeon, they started nagging about what I'm doing wrong. I adjusted to the situation and did everything they told me. Spinning as PLD when enemies are nearby, aggro them towards me but they kept nagging about the same things until the end.
Now here comes my question. Are all people beyond a higher level that easily offended over minor mistakes or is it just a rarity here?
People were cool and all in every dungeon I went before. Is the majority like this or just a minority of the playerbase?
Uh
Depends
The situation you described doesn’t sound that bad
A lot of people will be nice if everyone else is
anything else to buy on moogle treasure? I already got (jacket, kamuy mount, lanner mount, modern aesthetics hair)
I still don't understand why you have to nag about mistakes constantly, even if you learned from your mistakes. That's just what I wonder about.
And if they kept telling you then it sounds like you were probably still missing things
i think i already have most of them from grinding
People giving advice isn’t harassment
people are gonna tell you if you're doing stuff wrong, that doesn't sound hostile or negative to me in particular.
Without chat logs can’t really say more
What do you mean by spinning as Paladin when enemies are nearby
"Spinning as PLD when enemies are nearby" What did that entail exactly?
if you're spinning mobs around or kiting them it makes it hard for some jobs to do effective damage.
It's not harassment and never said it is. I'm really just wondering why you complain about the same thing, even if I stopped making the mistake.
if they brought it up again then maybe you did it again without realizing
Sounds like you perhaps didn’t stop making the mistake
Since you’re new and inexperienced you may not have realised everything that was going on
Then others would be offering advice to be helpful
Well, what they told me was using "Total Eclipse" anytime when there are more than one mob around so they aggro me. I did so but they constantly told me "Heard of Total Eclipse before?" "Total Eclipse can't you just see it?" "Perhaps it'd be better if you use Total Eclipse." when I used it like 3 seconds ago.
You should be constantly spamming total eclipse on groups of enemies
It really just depends on the people/group. But from my personal experiance as long as you are activley trying to learn most folks are pretty lenient with sprouts... at least on NA. Though moving the boss, not using mitigation, not turning on tank stance, not using your aoe rotation and so on will get less leniancy with people.
Sounds like you were only using it once or something
you should be doing it constantly in enemy packs.
Yeah sounds like you only used it once
It was nearly the only skill I used though. Whenever the CD ran out, I repeatedly used it as they said while standing in the middle of the hoard.
Dont you get the 2nd aoe skill by then
No
Oof
Were you holding the entire packs aggro? If you werent the first thing to check if using your AOE is 1.) is tank stance on and 2.) is your gear severely behind.
Yeah that sounds weird
Also your gear need to be like REALLY behind to not be able to hold aggro
I have iron will on the entire time as I use it right at the start of the dungeon entrances.
Like, you need to do 1/5 of the damage you should do to can’t hold aggro
10x modifier
it just sounds wierd overall tho. if you were doing your job, keeping gear within 10 levels, having stance on, using aoe and holding aggro and so on, ignore em. Tho be careful with enabling it immediatley, if you arent sync'd down it wont auto shut off and you could end up disabling it on accident.
If youre dropping aggro your gear is extremelt bad
But youd probably die before losing aggro in that case
feels like there's some information missing here 
Welp, if something like this happens again, I will just back-record it in case. Thanks for the infos though. Appreciate it.
Yeah it sounds like something is missing, or maybe the other 3 person are just bad
Ah, my bad if I worded it wrong but two of them were fine. They just went silently through the dungeon with me. It was constantly the one person nagging.
It could really just be a trolling/grumpy 3 stack tbh. But yea, without logs theres no much anyone could say one way or the other definitively.

Yeah, someone grumpy with the other two on auto pilot
I have to admit I do often do dungeons on auto pilot mode
Listening to weird stuff on YouTube
And even when other people do weird stuff, I just watch and give no advice
does anyone know how to lower volume when it comes to going to a main area
sounds of people talking blasting my ears
why is act combining like all the players from my previous dungeons
including my damage done in all of them like wtf
fuck man i suck at usingn fflogs
you just need to select the "select which encounters" to upload box
that will let you unselect all the random crap encounters like patrol zones and stuff
omg...
just mark all the trials/raids you want
thank you
ACT always makes me sad. I'm always either far above everyone as the top DPS as the fresh level 80 dancer, or completely outclassed because im a fresh 80 dancer with no gear
I wouldnt bother looking at numbers as much as xiva
personal analysis will make you better than comparing gear when there isn't a gear vacuum
dude...hb this, im always top dps as the 80 dancer with 510 gear but when i compare percentiles, im dogshit
LOL
meanwhile I'm 430
lmfaoooooo
So I haven't played since 1.0/2.0 coming back as a wow refugee, whats the mechanics for provoke in FFXIV?
!action provoke
if you want a mob to target you as a tank
make sure tank stance is up
and slap it
tank stance gives you a 10x aggro modifier
or just voke it
if you want the good good chemicals, do some bozja
I know that, I'm curious as to what it does to threat%, like wow's sets you to the current top agros exact agro, this says top + some?
What is that + some?
a bunch
wdym
sorry i dont really understand the pic
bozja is a "feel good cause big" until you leave and your dreams are ruined
bozja is funny time
Are the dancers not AoEing?
single target probably
and lynn is a sweat so she uses all the good juice potions/actions
Since I'm at MSQ 33 and my goal is to reach Ishgard soon enough, what do you think will be the longest part of the MSQ in between of MSQ 33-50?
2.1-2.55
post-arr
they are
Exactly what I feared the most as I looked at the story guide 
DPS don't have that many good essences for Bozja
With my setup, i was going 10x the normal damage 
all fun and games until the GNB uses an oGCD and does 150k damage on a crit
and said ability has an 8 second cooldown 
About the length of 2.1-2.55. How long would you compare it to the length of the quest chain that leads up to 2.1?
do we know if coffee biscuit leves are changing in EW or if they'll stay the same?
Shorter
changing
2.0 is slightly longer than 2.1-2.55
all leves are changing
ooh, dang
They're being tweaked to prevent gil inflation
120 ish vs 93 quests
So, coming back from a long break (Played 1.0 and 2.0), what should I be focusing on as I just hit 80. I need to finish the MSQ (im in 5.4), but what else
!faq contentunlock
Start looking at whatever sounds cool
There’s gonna be more msq soon so you might as well take it easy
Hey am I able to go from ps5 to pc
subscription is cross-platform though so ye
Question..... Does anyone know where can I farm the Nightmare mount ?
Ifrit, Garuda, and Titan Extreme.
It's a very low probability drop from those three.
Alright thanks :)
if i grabbed pixie beast tribe quests wed before the maint would i be able to grab new ones after turning them in once maint is done?
Yes, but keep in mind that expansion beast tribe quests lock to the job you accept them as.
yea i know that part, was just wondering about the other part, thanks
wait does the exp start being crap at 80?
or is it 81 that it turns bad, based off past expansions i mean
for combat tribes, the exp is ok ish a few levels out of its level range
It should still be decent at 80
its the crafter/gatherer ones where the exp is basically knee capped
Can I switch glam plates inside the eb chapel?
Actually, is GNB or DKR more worth to main? Heard people were switching from DKR to GNB a bit ago.
ok thanks
either is fine honestly, drk just didnt get flashy new stuff like the other tanks...also its invuln is kinda sad compared to the other ones now
whichever you like more.
I see. Thanks guys.
In situations where as a melee dps, I need to get out of melee range to do boss mechanics, is it worth breaking combos spamming the ranged hit in the meantime?
depending on how long it'd take me to stay out of said range
no
generally speaking, you don't have to leave the boss that long where you'd lose combo very often
SoSex stuff
Pretty sure not
I was just doing a levequest for a relic requirement, but didn't have the correct weapon equipped so it didn't count. Now that leve is not showing for me. How do I get it to come up again?
Complete more leves
Cleared it first time, and put my log on xivanalysis and it's showing me a lot of stuff

also wondering if some of that stuff being shown on the site can be ignored to some degree
darn, was hoping that wasn't the case. I have limited allowances
for the sake of doing mechanics from that fight
the funny meteor thing where you stack with another person in a corner
was a dragoon in the instance
Are the moon and sun minions bugged? Cuz whenever one is summoned they don’t follow and stay stuck
nope, that's intended
So how do you make em move
you don't
Along with the triangle swords that leave the boss in the middle while you're in a safe zone from range for a while
they're fixed because they were added when gpose didn't have lighting options
in the the joonbob guide the example just gap closed back to the boss after the meteors went off
A fast-paced guide for WOL EX (Seat of Sacrifice Extreme).
--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.3
What's inside:
🚗 A Speedy rundown of the fight
✅ Quick & Easy references and solutions for the key mechanics
⚔️ Strats that are common in PF right now--as of 9/19/2020 at Primal Datacenter
⭐️ The essentials you need for that first clear and totem grin...
i watched the mtq guide, not that
afaik you'd rather keep uptime as much as possible before you have to move, and then gap close immediately after the mechanic goes off
you don't leave long enough where your combo would break naturally
so you don't use your ranged attack cause it'd presumably be a DPS loss over just waiting
mtq is not very good for ex
or savage
joonbob is superior
even in the sword of light example
as a melee, you shouldn't be moving away from the boss until you absolutely have to
yes, I had to move or I would just straight up die
that somewhat doesnt hold for SoSex
they were asking in general, and SoSex was just the specific example
the 4 corner meteors are .. tricky with their timing
In general, you shouldn't have to use your ranged attack
MTQ teaches you the rules of the fight pretty well
She just don’t recommend strats that much
While Joonbob’s videos are faster pace, so they don’t talk about mechanics that much, only solutions
watch mtq for explanation
then go watch joon or someone else
combine resources ftw o/
Also Joonbob’s guides come out really late in the patch cycle
My question mostly stemmed from seeing this pop up on xivanalysis on my log
As I missed gcds doing mechs to not die
how early were you moving
that's my question
and could you have moved to do the mechanic later and still made it in time
I was the only new person in my group doing the fight so I moved a little earlier than needed maybe
Since I wasn't as familiar with what I could get away with
that's a possible culprit then
Yeah
Although it mightve been somewhat close
Since the timings on my group members moving out were similar to some extent
were they also melee
iirc NIN mudras let them keep uptime from range better than other melees
boss is following main tank so they can afford to move earlier
idk about the other tank
hmmm
maybe I'll just practice that more
tbh I don't think my damage was that bad but def could've been better
Gear ilv matters in Eureka right?
not all strats, especially general pf strats support 100% melee uptime fwiw
Nope
so it’s possible to do everything right but the strat is limiting in that regards ¯_(ツ)_/¯
Wait, I thought Eureka don't sync up your gear like Bozja?
is there a way to compare how much damage I've done compared to other clears
Eureka has Elemental Level
on logs
Some of the eureka gears has Elemental bonuses
Yes, can you show me your logs?
I don't think ilvl has any impact inside eureka zones
Lv 80 Ex should all be possible
wdym by that
I mean, just give me a random log as an example
That's my only log lol
Anyway, let's look at this one:
https://www.fflogs.com/reports/ZYH8fDjNcJymxACG#fight=12&type=damage-done
So here, this 100 here means this person did more damage than 100% of all the clears in the past 2 weeks
Past 2 weeks counting from when this log is uploaded
The term is percentile
As said
It is a quick way to know where your performance sit
On the rankings page, this 99 means this person did better than 99% of the player's Personal Best Record
click on the damage report section
"Damage Done"?
ye
Ex fight only measures your clears without echo
Since for EX fights, echo is inconsistent
The more you wipe the more you get echo
Where for Savage fights, the last tier gets a constant Echo
For example, when you do e12s, you go in, and you get 15% echo on spawn
So there is an echo section for the lastest eden tier
Like this
so ig it won't work for mine then
Yeah
Where can I get the sleep on ground emote
Practice more and do more runs lol
raid DPS
it's your actual damage contribution
compared to the normal pDPS, which is the raw number you did personally
what's the difference in that? Is it through like whatever buffs you had
You will need to buy the game for PC, but yes
it takes that away
and if you gave buffs
it adds that
so for example, if you were like
a WAR, for instance
and you did 13k DPS
and say, 600 came from buffs you got from Divination or other buffs
your rDPS would be 12.4k
they were adding coffers to old raids for EW right?
I remember hearing that
ok just making sure
They're also adding weapon coffers to trials
So an extreme will drop a weapon and a coffer
So you don't have to grind bajillion runs for your specific weapon
!faq fflogsdps
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- aDPS is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
Broadly speaking, rDPS is better for comparing the average performance of different jobs with one another, aDPS is better for assessing your own personal skill relative to other people playing the same job as you
but are the differences between job dps that much?
The differences in their raw dps without considering the buffs they bring are significant yes
Dancer has low aDPS
But rDPS rankings consider how powerful the buffs dancer contributes are
That’s what brings dancer into balance with other jobs
Just at one example.
so in a more team-centered focus rDPS would be better to look at
Yeah though aDPS is not divorced from team play either
uhhh I do have a question on personal dps though
example of difference in DNC aDPS vs rDPS
it should be somewhat similar with melee dps, yes?
pDPS is just the raw number parsed by ACT before FFLogs does any analysis or calculations on it
It’s not used for rankings because that kind of ranking would be susceptible to buff padding
mmm ok
Melee dps have different levels of raw dps Vs buffs contributed as well
I find it weird how I'm top dps in a log by slightly over a mil
when my mechs were scuffed af and I was the only new person to the trial
so that should be a given ninja has lower adps?
Yes, they bring a powerful buff in trick attack
which could add up to me having more damage done then
Similarly monk has brotherhood, dragoon has dragon sight and litany
Trick attack increases your rDPS.
How much it does so depends on how well the rest of your group capitalised on it
still I feel like I should've slightly offset that since I perma dragon sighted the ninja
and held tether as much as possible without having to split for mechanics
the ninja was the second highest dps to me
Alright then
What duty is this? In normal modes people have wildly different levels of gear and more importantly skill, and this is much more significant a factor than job choice

Well there are the other extremes and then there’s savage
well my phrasing was kinda off
should ask another question in place of that
How mechanically hard is SoSex compared to other ex/sav content?
Sosex is probably the hardest Shadowbringers extreme just because of the randomised mechanics in the last phase
oh.
Try emerald and Diamond for exs which aren’t far off, and try E9S for something that needs a little more coordination
E10S has some neat reaction based mechs too
i think im confusing one of those
i'll prob go do those ex's then sav and see how garbo my parse is

id say 8 hours?
best lvl 60 dungeons exp wise?
the level 59 one
gubal library
aka the great jazz place
level cap dungeons have significantly less xp
what's a level cap dungeon
50\60\70\80
ah so 59-69-79 dungeons are best for exp?
yes since they're 'leveling' dungeons, so they have boosted xp values
ok I see thx
How many Pazuzu's Feathers do I need for Anemos?

Heya, I just finished 4.0
are there any quests I should take my time watching/reading?
I know of Omega and Eureka, but is there anything else?
theres the ivalice raids
the warring triad?
any msq/blue quest is worth your time
i tap through repeatable beast dailies as they're usually garbage nonsense
and yellow quests are for when you're truly bored and want something to do
Hall of Lead: Targets 3 random raid members (never MT) for magical damage with a medium AoE. Hits for about ~1500 damage, unavoidable. Inflicts 10s Slow on all affected targets. Can be cleansed.

Can I make it so if I hold alt my hotbar switches to a different hotbar?
Question about Shadowbringer dungeons. I made it to the first dungeon "Holminster Switch" and I noticed you can play with NPCs. I'm already in a party of just me and my wife. Is it possible to play with just the two of us and the twins?
No
no but you can put alt-1 alt-2 etc as hotkeys for a second hotbar
Trusts are solo
If you mean like the xhb, no, but alt is one of the 3 modifier keys you can use when binding keys
My 4th bar is alt 1 234qerfzxcv
Anyone know if this is possible?
.
What's a trust?
It's been answered, no, because of how trusts are programmed
I play with an MMO mouse and a razer orbweaver. Couldn't even begin to try playing this game with a keyboard or a controller
I'm doing a dungeon not a trust
Orbweaver is the best of both worlds IMO
dungeon with NPCs
The answer is still no
That's a trust
They explained it to you
The game works great with controller
The only significant difference compared to other games on controller, if any, is you use your dpad more often
I don't think I'll ever play an MMO without my orbweaver ever again. Its too good to go back to a keyboard
And trigger becomes your modifier
tl;Dr because of how trusts are programmed to usually prioritize the single player in a regular trust instance, bringing in multiple players is extremely more difficult than it sounds
Joystick for movement, and 20 keys all for skills
how to get this carpet
that's a pillow
It’s a minion

What other caster jobs can I use spellspeed focused gear on?
I know rdm is weird about it, but I'd like to hopefully get extra use out of it
it's a dump stat for smn, best suggestions are 2.50 and 2.48 gcd
all 3 healers meld sps in bis
well healers aren't really casters
Why aren't my inputs working on Striking dummies?
I'm trying to learn the SAM rotation but when I'm pressing Hakaze, it does the attack but it doesn't light up the next skills available for a combo
but caster specifically, that’s kinda the .. jank with that role .. they share gears but sps (meld) messes that up a bit >.>
!action hakaze
do you have a video of this
are you trying to use level 60/70 dummies as level 50? you're probably missing every attack
The level of the dummy matters? Jeezus
That's it, I'm trying out the combo on the Oriens dummies
every starting city has lvl 1 dummies outside, in their first area
Central Shroud - The Bannock (X: 24.0, Y: 19.5) (X:23.4, Y: 20.5)
Middle La Noscea - Summerford Farm (X: 26.2, Y: 17.4)
Western Thanalan - Scorpion Crossing (X: 26.3, Y: 24.7) (X: 26.3, Y: 23.7)
Coerthas Central Highlands - Whitebrim Front (X: 13.1, Y: 17.1)```
Thanks for the help
When is the stat squeeze happening? early access or the actual EW release?
when 6.0 release which is early access
early access
patch applied to all player, even free trial under that influence
wouldn't make sense to balance an entire game around a 3 day window, massive waste of work
So, possibly an odd question. But, if I order endwalker as a gift for someone and they don't use the code for it until release day, will they still get the pre-order bonus items?
probably not
Even if it was purchased today?
until they register it, SE doesn't know they have it
I heard that they will be able to use pre-order key for a grace period, but that's just what i heard
dunno the official word
Yeah I think I’ve seen people here saying how the pre order code has a grace period till very early 2022 or smth
My friend's birthday is the endwalker release day, so I was hoping to give her the code then and she'd still have the bonus items
she needs to redeem early access code to get the bonus and must be done before official release so maybe give it to her earlier
Preorder bonuses can be redeemed any time between now and the launch of the expansion (SE’s site says the code itself is valid through March 31, 2022); the bonuses will be delivered to you in-game through Moogle mail. ```
@rugged lynx found this in a community FAQ
https://support.eu.square-enix.com/faqarticle.php?id=5383&la=2&kid=78778
last question on this page
for the last level 80 relic step, just use part finder to get blue mages?
if you can find some yes, that's the fastest
Community faq? So is that official info? Or just someone's best guess?
Right, that page has a 2022 expiration for the code, but doesn't seem to mention an expiration for the items
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Well
If the preorder code stops working after March, and the bonuses are preorder related...
Which would make sense, but that other faq has me worried a bit
Hey, so, I had a keyboard malfunction earlier and now my camera is facing slightly upwards from my character, as opposed to being centered on my character. What's the hotkey for this?
Oop- found it
ctrl-up and ctrl-down
Maybe I should've tried literally the first thing that came to my mind before, you know, asking. Lmao

Does the warrior of light triple triad card just drop into your inventory after seat of sacrifice?
No chest?
yes
Thanks
What are the best ways to get gil right now except cookie leves? Have all DoH/DoL maxed out.
Is it worth it to spend scrip for gunmetal dye and sell it?
Ok screw it im giving in and also pre-ordering ew on ps4, if i pre-order it now i still get acess to it on december 3rd right
Eureka bunnies
Pagos gold chest drop hakutaku eyes which sell for about a mil each on primal
And also the Copycat bulb
Which is about ~20 mil
Problem is
Pagos is ass
More people do Pyros for the eldthurs (~4-6 mil) but since too many people do pyros bunnies you're not guaranteed a bunny due to the cap of around 20
Then hydatos bunnies
The only good thing is the Eurekan petrel mount
About as expensive if not a bit more than the eldthurs
What's the best way to get crystal sand after blue crafter tokens are removed in 6.0?
Any SAM player here that uses a controller? I wanna have a look at your layout

!faq drghotbars
saw the fashion report, dont have alpine yet, is there anything else ican sub it with while keeping 80 points?
!fr
You see all those options at the top? Use them
yeah gonna see if i can get any of them
Should I be listening to the recommended gear button? As a mrd It's telling me to wear the robe I got from the level 30 whm job quest over armor I got from level 25 mrd that has bigger numbers on def and magic def
I dunno if I should listen to the bigger item level and the reccomended button or the bigger def and magic def and what makes more sense
in general, the recommended gear button will give the correct result unless your current gear is very out of date. For a tank, prioritizing def/mdef is a pretty safe bet though.
Overall you'll generally be going for ilvl increases where you can get them, though NQ gear is a lot worse than HQ gear of the same quality, so that can be a bit of a factor for leveling gear as well
If my friend is on a trial account, can they just buy endwalker pre-order and have access to the full game once the EW codes are given out? Or do they need to purchase a starter edition first as well?
You need starter
Weird question,did they say how much is the download size of EW?
around 5 gigs iirc
ty :)
!faq buy
do food also get their stat lowered when item sync ?
indirectly, because its based on your synced stats
oh ur right
also I think food don’t get their max buff synced
correct, you can get stat totals above intended at your item level with higher level food
is there some kind of macro that signal ur macro is done ?
/echo
/echo <se.1> at the end of your macro
oh ok thx
For E12S, I keep seeing DS titan pop up. Does this mean dwayne strat?
A realm reborn has so much quests 😓
Not a question
Its frayne but mirrored on the y axis
So dps are west side leaning
already answered you over in #endgame-lounge, for what it's worth
The lost dispel spell in zadnor says it removes one beneficial effect from the target. When Lyon hits you with the debuff in the duel that immediately kills you, do you have to use this lost dispell there?
I’m confused about lost dispel cause it’s under the detriment list
Beneficial effect ≠ debuff
Then what’s the lost dispel that removes the debuff
So there’s two spells with the same name
One beneficial and one detrimental?
Detrimentals are statuses that point downwards
Beneficial point upwards
For Lyon’s duels, you use Dispel to get rid of his Wind/Fire buff he applies to himself.
Ohhh
So it does remove the buff
From lyon
I thought the fire was a debuff that’s applied to the player
Hi! I play FFXIV on PS4 and I was wondering where should I buy the Endwalker expansion? Should I buy it in PS Store on my PS4 or on other websites? Especially that my Square Enix account is different with my PSN account
You buy it on ps4 and when you login, it gets attached to your square account
Does the region matters?
No
You have to buy same region
If you’re on PS4 it doesn’t matter

Ye coz' each region have different prices if am not mistaken I was worried if it's gonna affect anything
Free trial on a different PSN account then bought a new one again on a different one
You’re buying endwalker again in the same region where you bought the new one?
Ya
Do i need to start on floor 1 or is it okay if i start at 21 on heaven on high for lone hero title?
you have to start on floor 1
alrighty, thank you
can you hit all three big adds with caster LB3 in Dancing Plague?
No, just 2
You shouldnt need lb3 unless it's to clutch the dps check cause of deaths tho
i had the opportunity to use LB3 in that phase
i aimed for 2 just to be safe
probably worth it since we completed phase with 97% titania power
Oof, cutting it a little close lol
I have a friend who's trying out ff14 on the free trial, but they don't have a sqex account, even though they have a username through steam
so they're not sure what to do
Hey I'm actually curious but is it possible to do main quests together like in a party?
you can do MSQ while you're in a party at the same time, but eventually it'll force you apart to do solo duties
and completing quests for one person doesn't count for other people
what does this unlock? its lvl80 apparently
start of the bozja chain also for the shb relic

is alexander 9 doable solo?
normal or savage?
how can you exit battle after you striked a striking dummy?
normal
right click the health bar and click Reset Enmity
do you just keep fighting it for like 15-20 mins and nevermind the healing
ty
how are the resistance weapon zadnor items divided up amongst alex/omega/eden raids?
60 each
i mean like: which ones drop which tiems
it was definitely a war of attrition
all of them
and it took longer than it would have to just queue for it and do it with a party
that's what i was looking for. thanks
do you even get successful queues for alex raids?
oh yeah, it's very common
they're the most common in normal raid roulette so
i'm sure if i put a PF up, i might get some people.
you don't even need to pf if you queue for the first alex tier tbh
I get arm of the father runs all the time in roulette
i'm aware, but it's also 4am EST
fair
eu here
well
and it's 3rd tier, first boss
not quite what FAQs says, this image has the right drop tables
basically one drops from the first half of each tier, the other from the second half of each tier
Yohooooooooooo, usually I just Raid and stuff in mmos, but I finished pretty much everything. Does anyone have some suggestions for some fun lategame content besides raids?
achievement hunting
thanks for the update
PVP for the various glamour sets it has
Housing :)
have you done eureka and bozja?
tysm
to prep for endwalker or what exactly do you mean?
for fun
bozja isnt fun
Does the questline in Zadnor take roughly as long as the one in the southern front leading up to DR?
yes
Okay nice, should be able to finish it before EW. No way I’m completing a relic though
the last 10 levels are about same amount of grind as the first 15, ending with a similar activity to CLL
Is the last instance run often? Not sure if it’s a relic step or not
fairly often, and it is an option to grab the final steps of the relic
there’s the 180 material one-time step before that though
Very nice, thank you
Also DR is looooong, I see why relic hunters in my FC chat are always complaining about it. Super cool fights though
DR is annoying for sure

okie ty
