[hoary veldt]

how do i unlock expert roulette?

[alpine shadow]

complete every extreme and dungeons and trials, except for endwalker extremes

[hoary veldt]

i'm pretty sure i have tho wtf

[pine onyx]

You need the last two dungeons

[boreal storm]

Yeah Expert roulette is just the last 2 90 dungeons added

[hoary veldt]

where do i get tehm?

[heavy wadi]

in sharlayan, nearish the aetheryte

[boreal storm]

Sharlyan

[hoary veldt]

ok ty

[pine onyx]

EW 90msq spoiler: these are the ones you're looking for. Last EW dungeon + 2 post msq

[patent frigate]

Does going into a dungeon count as leaving your home world?

[alpine shadow]

No?

Well, it does put you in an instance servers that is common to the whole datacenter

but you don't transfer out of the world.

[heavy wadi]

it puts you into the "in another world" state

but that doesn't count as leaving your home world, no.

[spiral inlet]

how much direct hit do you need for the new EX fights?

[surreal mortar]

How long does it usually take to recieve item bought in shop?

[glad robin]

What’s a fast way to go from 89-90?

[mossy delta]

can I get a replica of berimbau awoken to use as a glam?

[pine onyx]

A couple of hours

[heavy wadi]

89 dungeon

and roulettes which just reset

[surreal mortar]

Ok thank you

[glad robin]

Yeah if I finish the roulettes today I only will reach 89 I think

So I wanted to finish it off with another activity maybe I’ll just spam the 89 dungeons

[sleek needle]

Up to 24h, usually within a few hours

[zinc bramble]

I think perhaps you misunderstand what direct hit is

[spiral inlet]

I thought Direct hit as accuracy

[pine onyx]

You need 560 ilvl

[spiral inlet]

or that is what it was in HW

[modest igloo]

direct hits are mini crits

[pine onyx]

Your accuracy is determined by your level discrepancy compared to a foe

[spiral inlet]

oh lmfao

[modest igloo]

25% damage increase

[pine onyx]

They removed the accuracy stat long ago, now you only need to not be low level compared to a mob to hit it 100% of the time

[heavy wadi]

at this point you just need a 560 ilvl. unless you're rushing for parses and optimization no real need to worry about them

[pine onyx]

Conversely if you outlevel a mob a lot it will miss you most of the time

[spiral mango]

hmm true

im pressing the download button for fflogs update and it freezes

what should I do

its frozen here

[patent frigate]

Is there a way I can hide the quests bar in dungeon and then it automatically comes back after?

[gritty oracle]

Hide duty list during instanced duties

Character config - HUD probably

[twilit arch]

https://img.finalfantasyxiv.com/lds/uiguide/na/ee/6c8f6da0f97071e2d433b364fec046563dc103.jpg

the option above the one that's highlighted

[patent frigate]

Ok ty

[inland quarry]

what jobs do you think i can do it on?

[slate arrow]

Paladin and Red Mage, Warrior, maybe gunbreaker, any job with good self healing capabilities

[cyan moss]

Why am I still getting this message if I am renewed?

Is there an extra step after I make the payment?

[slate arrow]

!faq steam

[zinc orbit]

FFXIV steam version notices

1. Steam launcher integration update
2. Steam and windows expansions are not interchangeable, buy the expansions for your base platform
3. Use SteamEdit to remove -issteam argument to play with your windows subscription via steam
4. You do not need to uninstall ffxiv if you have either the steam or windows version when you want to swap.

[inland quarry]

so nothing i play :D

maybe i'll just do it with a friend

[cyan moss]

oh ya i forgot i got this through steam originally

i also remember that making a huge mess of things down the road with expansions and stuff

[slate arrow]

!faq xivlauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[slate arrow]

you can use this to launch the game, just make sure to enable Steam mode

[cyan moss]

TBH I don't mind using steam as its up all the time

But is there a disadvantage im not aware of?

[slate arrow]

the launcher literally uses internet explorer

[cyan moss]

and just to double check. I should buy endwalker through Steam, not anywhere else. Right?

[slate arrow]

correct

[cyan moss]

Ya i remember that back 2 expansions ago. Im way behind

[mellow pike]

Heard that old bosses even drop loot when it's been done on solo unsynched mode, so I tried it out on Shiva Ex but I didn't receive anything. Does anyone know why? Has it been fixed?

[pine onyx]

There's a chest once you beat her

[boreal storm]

You sure that was the EX?

[pine onyx]

Maybe you missed it

[mellow pike]

Thanks for the replies, hmm it even stated in the chat that I am not eligible for loot & exp - I will test it out again

[forest lark]

Ok, how do some players get 4-5 X materias during expert daily run while I obly get 1 or 2 is it related to which role ur playing or rng

All I see in chat is xx obtains xx materia, etc etc but not me lol

Yeah both chests and monster kills I think

Yeah, but it sucks every asks for tank

Hm let me see I didnt know u could buy X materias for sack of nuts

[mellow pike]

I am a complete dumbass, thought (Hard) was the same as (Ex) in older content, got it right this time and received the loot - cheers!! ❤️

[devout salmon]

Hello, I am looking for a party for the first country of ShB for Ftes :x

[slate arrow]

[sick osprey]

[devout salmon]

Oh okay, I am new so I dont know much about this things

[gusty pasture]

how do you deal with r/tfdf quality DPS and Healers? Had to solo EW 3rd dg's final boss w/ around 50 minutes left on the timer solely because the other three were straight up incompetent. ALl of my dg runs this weekend as well had TFDF quality DPS and healers. 0 aoe, terrible rotations, diagnosis bots etc. How do you handle this when you just want to level? give up and run trusts?

[little swift]

Alternatively use bozja to level if you don't have msq left. The scaling on bozja exp is still very good

[cosmic juniper]

How does reaper compare to samurai in terms of DPS?

[slate arrow]

!faq ewbalance

[zinc orbit]

What does Endwalker job balance look like now?

We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:

1. The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.

2. Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)

3. The current sample size of recorded runs and quality of data is not sufficient to eliminate variance in player skill, equipment, party composition, killtime and limited encounter design.

4. While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter design and party makeup. Some have yet to be discovered. These are all things that influence job balance, and can change with Savage even if current potencies remain.

5. Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more in harm than good.

Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.

Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.

[onyx kiln]

is it impossible to buy of the mogstation atm?

[forest peak]

I've been told PvP is not main reason ppl play FFXIV nor why game is so popular nowadays, but i'm just intersted if PvP content is doable and are there ppl doing it?
Would be nice if someone can explain state of PvP in ffxiv.. Ty

[slate arrow]

you can purchase goods off the FFXIV Online Store, but item delivery will take a few or several hours

[slate arrow]

it exists, most people are waiting for the PVP rework to come in 6.1(?) or so

[onyx kiln]

i just get error messages when i try to select my payment method

[regal pawn]

ye, 6.1

[forest peak]

Oh nice 😄

[regal pawn]

As it stands, pvp is fun
there's some very good looking gear from it

But currently, we're just waiting for the rework in 6.1
which introduces a "season pass" (not paid obv) that you level up for rewards
and you also get tokens you spend on stuff, which sometimes is gonna be from previous passes

[slate arrow]

fuck yeah battle pass

[regal pawn]

Hopefully that means bringing back old feast rewards as buyables

And they're apparently also talking about bringing back the garo gear

Which means tiny glock will be back on the menu

tiny glock

[cursive ridge]

it's a lalafell rifle thank you very much

[river path]

Umm question about sub. I registered my card to my square enix account to pay for my sub I picked the 30 day thing but it didn't charge anything. Then now on the log in screen I lost my free days left on the lower right corner. Is this normal. (Sorry if I'm not explaining it properly)

[slate arrow]

yes, you won't get charged until your free days expire

[regal pawn]

And since you're "subbed" (you got the payment data up) it won't show you the free days ingame

[river path]

I see so it will charge me when my free days reach zero?

[slate arrow]

yes

[fossil bloom]

is it worthwhile to unlock the moogle beast tribe for levelling crafters from 50-60?

[cursive ridge]

it's not spectacular

but you will also be going for stuff like the extra dance

so might as well get some crafter exp out of it

(it drops to like 1k a quest if your crafter is 60+)

[fossil bloom]

hmm

how long would it take to unlock the dance emote and how much does it cost

[onyx kiln]

no for EXP but yeah, nice rewards here and there

[cursive ridge]

essentially complete it fully for the dance i think

[river path]

Thanks for the info

[cursive ridge]

which is like 2 weeks or so

probably correct math on the wiki

[forest lark]

Can someone exain me high end duty queueing, diff between oractice and duty completion

Do both give rewards

[slate arrow]

practice = you haven't seen enrage

duty compleiton = you're seeking to clear

[boreal storm]

The emote is just from completing the tribe

[forest lark]

So I can queuing duty completion, I was told it will search for ayers who havent cleared it yet too

[slate arrow]

there is no difference besides the queue pool, but since everyone uses PF for High End raids you won't be getting a queue in High End Duty Finder most of the time

[forest lark]

Well its a thing on jp dc

It actually says 5 minute waiting time estimated

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[dry pelican]

when were we suppose to get our extra subscription days? I'm very close to having mine end @.@

oh nvm december 21

[forest lark]

I have 11 days left I actuvated my 60 game time before nov 19th when I thought expac would be released and about 40+ days went to waste cause I didnt play

Since it was delayed

[ember magnet]

what happens to quest exp when I hit level cap, do they just go to waste?

[cursive ridge]

yes

[tulip chasm]

im so confused about diadem mats, why could i find cotton bolls earlier but i cant now, is it connected to weather?

[boreal storm]

Nope, it’s just random

[tulip chasm]

oh so im just really unlucky then

[barren granite]

is castrum marinium on trhe dailies
?

[tulip chasm]

yes on msq roulette

[barren granite]

ty

[vast hawk]

diadem give me chills

[cursive ridge]

castrum marinum is a lvl 80 trial, it's not in the msq roulette

it's in the trials roulette

[tulip chasm]

ah, thought they mispelled, sorry t-t

[sick bay]

Will there be shiny weapon versions of the 2nd extreme endwalker trial ?

[green grail]

probably someday

[normal oasis]

where do I find the base cryptlurker gear pieces from?

[cursive ridge]

that's for upgrading if you already had some before this patch

[normal oasis]

oh so they're unavailable now?

[cursive ridge]

you can buy fully augmented ones now

[vast hawk]

buy the augmented

[normal oasis]

where?

[vast hawk]

1 vendor over

[cursive ridge]

should be on the tomestone vendor

[normal oasis]

ah i see thanks

hmm one vendor over sells augmented crystarium sets

[cursive ridge]

sells both, look in different categories

[normal oasis]

oh nvm found it, he has many sections

[warm snow]

Augmented is the exact same gear with better stats and dyable

[cursive ridge]

(not always better stats)

(but typically)

[topaz vine]

will aphorism tomestones be useful in the future?

[cursive ridge]

they will likely be used to buy new materials for a while

[twilit arch]

There will most likely be tomestone crafted materials with savage

so yes, aphorism will still have some use

[cursive ridge]

for upgrading gear or crafting stuff

[topaz vine]

ok thanks, will load up

[warm snow]

Yes always better stats, it's the exact same stats but higher due to having an extra 10 item levels

[warm snow]

The new tomes will be limited to 450 a week so you'll still be supplementing your gear with aphorism stuff on alt jobs

#kupo-bot-spam

[marsh furnace]

RDM or Dancer

[primal relic]

As a SCH do I pre slap Excog on tank pre pull like WHM regen or SCH adlo?

[tardy silo]

how to upgrade Palace of the dead weapon? (I have enough aetherpool grip)

[forest lark]

I've been watching some of the extreme trial videos and savages, what does it mean when players call in chat D1, D2 H1 H2 I assume thats like a role d for dps, h for healer, but is there a certain position u have to stand for that, I'm trying to figure out ex and savage diff abbreviations lol

[warm snow]

Flip a coin

[warm snow]

D1 is dps yes, its usually further split to m and r for melee and ranged

[warm snow]

Clear floor 100

If you want to take a kinna weapon outside

[warm snow]

Arr doesn't count and was not what was being talked about

[patent citrus]

which video? JP server has their own strats usually

JP and EU is pretty similiar, but their macro are less specific D1-D4 instead of M1-M2 and R1-R2

[warm snow]

And yanks just hate macros

[primal relic]

As a SCH do I pre slap Excog on tank pre pull like WHM regen or SCH adlo?

[patent citrus]

yeah, use the excog on cd

[warm snow]

You literally can't

At least not in raids and trials

[patent citrus]

for prepull, use it with that skill that enable excog

ooo for dungeon?

[heavy wadi]

recitation + excog

[dusty shard]

any1 know how long does it take for light farming bonus on ARR relic to rotate ?

[warm snow]

Recitation adlo not excog in a dungeon

[warm snow]

That double shield + crit enhancement is waaaaay too good

[primal relic]

Ty

[carmine aspen]

how do you prevent clipping your abilities?

[patent citrus]

mash your button

[warm snow]

Still now what was being talked about

[craggy tinsel]

lower your skill speed /s

[warm snow]

Gitting gud

[heavy wadi]

that's not at all related to the current conversation.

[cursive ridge]

augmented is not always better stats, which was what i said

[warm snow]

Still not what ws being talked about and haste is better stats

[heavy wadi]

the convo is finished, stop trying to make a point

[warm snow]

Especially since point is still irrelevant for current ff14

[lunar quail]

Is Bozja the best way to grind XP from lvl 71 to 80 ? Only by doing fates or critical engagements as well ?

[warm snow]

If your queues are shit then yes

[regal pawn]

If you got good queues, you can do dungeon grinding (healer and tank as of right now, no clue about dps queues)

[lunar quail]

queues for the highest available dungeon you mean ?

[regal pawn]

yeah

[warm snow]

Highest available LEVELLING dungeon

[regal pawn]

That means not 50/60/70/80

[warm snow]

Level 70 dungeons give shit exp

[lunar quail]

Ok good to know, thank you !

[rough wyvern]

o/ Anyone know if I need anything beyond the trial for command missions? (I'd buy the game... but that's not allowed rn)

[warm snow]

No

Squadron stuff caps at 60

[tawny briar]

Does anyone know if I can upgrade from the free trial at the moment, and if so, am I eligible for the free 21 subscription days still?

[warm snow]

Big fucking trial spoiler

[warm snow]

No and no

[forest lark]

Sorry I totally forgot

[cyan moss]

I think the last time, actually now that i look at my cd keys: I know the last time I played this was stormblood

[tawny briar]

Apparently the subscription can still be granted, but only 14 days instead of 21

[cyan moss]

Do I need to buy Shadowbringers before endwalker

[limber hound]

Buying EW comes with the previous expacs bundled, iirc

[cyan moss]

kk

[limber hound]

so no

[patent citrus]

that's for people who own full version of the game

free trial isn't included cause you don't pay for sub

[tawny briar]

Yeah so I was wondering if free trials can upgrade still but sadly not I think

[craggy tinsel]

not currently, no

I do have a question regarding that screenshot though: what is usually expected to come on patch x.01?

bug fixes primarily, I'm sure

[warm snow]

Only if you own the game and you can't buy the game

So still no and no, no to the second because no to the firdt

[slate arrow]

Normal raids, bug fixes, job adjustments (usually potency, sometimes minor reworks)

[fresh torrent]

I have to make those 10 bacon breads myself?

[craggy tinsel]

ah nice

[slate arrow]

or you can buy them off the marketboard

[fresh torrent]

I did doesn't work

[slate arrow]

cause they ain't high quality

[south sparrow]

is it possible to change my retainer into a reaper? I'm not seeing the option for it

[patent citrus]

you'll need to stay as a class till you reach lv 70 I think

[slate arrow]

If they already have a job advancement, you must reset to 1

[craggy tinsel]

needs to have the symbol indicating it's high quality, I assume

[patent citrus]

if you want your retainer to be reaper

and all class would have access to reaper since it's an expansion job

[fresh torrent]

Oh rip

[south sparrow]

so do I need to just get a job to 70

[patent citrus]

no, class

means you need to reset your retainer

[south sparrow]

ohhh

[patent citrus]

to lv 1 pugilist/rogue/conjurer any

then level it to lv 70, then change job to reaper

[south sparrow]

I see

and that is gonna take a while lmao

[patent citrus]

yeah

[gritty oracle]

Do large houses have balconies? I wandered around a Large house with makeplace and found this door. Where would it lead on an actual house?

[slate arrow]

You can't use it but if you have the outdoor furniture you can jump onto it

[gritty oracle]

oof, thanks!

[digital lake]

That's just for private chambers and workshops

[gritty oracle]

the private chamber door is next to the stairs on the ground floor, this was on the first floor, right above the entrance I think

[patent citrus]

yeah, can't use that

[digital lake]

Oh huh. Never seen that before

My fc has a large house

But it doesn't have that

[patent citrus]

put a heaven on high tower beside your balcony

then you can jumping puzzle to the roof/balcony your choice

get one of these

[river path]

Tower at paradigms breach question. Hansel and Gretel boss fight. When they summon moving fire circles then dash through the middle where is the safe spot cause I got hit when I was at the edge. Help pls.

90k for 3 high quality tako yaki 🙃

[patent citrus]

craft them yourself

[hallow wolf]

How does DoT Potency work with buffs, again? Say with Chaos Thrust, does having Lance Charge and using it at the very end of its duration apply stronger DoT, in addition to the stronger base damage?

[fresh torrent]

Seems like a waste of time

[patent citrus]

then just buy the 90k

[fresh torrent]

I did ofc

200k gone for two quests

[patent citrus]

you use lance then chaos thrust, the dot will stays buffed even when your lance ran out

[hallow wolf]

So it is based on the buff state the attack is used, got it

How can I have these icons on the macros?

yeah I forgot what's the name for the term.. snapshot I think?

I only got these

Ah

The other square. Thanks xd

[patent citrus]

yeah, top of the macro text, there's another Icon I think

Everything snapshots in this game

[tepid stag]

how should I go about getting rpr 80-90

[remote lintel]

bozja to 81 then dungeon spam

[heavy wadi]

either bozja or gulg to 81

[marsh furnace]

What is this?

[slate arrow]

A quest marker, you can interact with it to get back something like a mount for a quest or materials for crafting as an example

Usually used if there's a prerequisite for the next quest objective

[jade bear]

Is it normal for a bunch of people to just stand around at the end of an alliance raid?

[marsh furnace]

Ah ok that makes sense, it was someone I had to talk to cross a bridge for the msq

[slate arrow]

yes, they're rolling on loot

[lethal mist]

Some people Bozja spam the entire 80-90 but it's boring af

[leaden ginkgo]

does Priority Aetheryte Pass from GC stack with the FC reduced teleport rates?

[patent citrus]

yeah, I think only choice for 80-90 are trusts, DF/Roulette, Bozjan/Zadnor

[twilit arch]

no

[devout crystal]

What is the easiest melee class to play?

[patent citrus]

so pick the one that you like

[twilit arch]

same buff so it gets overwriten

[devout crystal]

Torn between SAM and RPR

[twilit arch]

the priority aetherpass is higher buff than fc unless your fc is running rank 3 buffs

[warm snow]

Flip a coin

[patent citrus]

some people say DRG/RPR

but yeah, if you can't choose. Flip a coin

[devout crystal]

lol

[warm snow]

We're here to help, not to tell you how to play the game

[sacred oracle]

Drg has a lot of ogcd now adays :/

Normally, when will they adjust class balance? After raid?

[leaden ginkgo]

ohh cool, then at least farming those passes were worth it since my fc always puts up the rank 2 ones

[narrow jay]

Play all of them, discover for yourself.

[patent citrus]

yeah rank 3 are very expensive I heard

[twilit arch]

there will likely be adjustments with 6.01 and 6.05 @sacred oracle

[patent citrus]

so your FC won't likely run it 24/7

[sacred oracle]

I see ❤️

[twilit arch]

probably wonn't be super big adjustments tho

namely potency changes

[sacred oracle]

It should, reaper out perform everyone with half their swing xD

[slate arrow]

The job most likely to get any sort of rework might be Dark Knight, and I expect warrior's amazing AoE sustain to be nerfed in some way. This is purely educated guesses based on Shadowbringers changes however

[devout crystal]

Btw, SMN is much easier to play now?

[twilit arch]

yes

much easier

[idle hemlock]

Yeah after you get a feel for the phases in the rotation it’s much more straightforward than before

[devout crystal]

Cool.

[sacred oracle]

Pog

[warm snow]

One of the new nin skills is supposed to be an ogcd and that's confirmed to be coming in an upcoming patch

[twilit arch]

i wouldn't really call that a big adjustment

when i say "big adjustment" i mean akin to what they did to monk in 5.4 or w/e when it had its mini rework of sorts

[slate arrow]

I'd say Summoner falls into the rework catagory back in 5.0x

[compact lion]

Players in queue:1 for 20 minutes
is this normal?

[slate arrow]

Yes

[naive kraken]

after 11am eastern / 8am pacific, yes

[twilit arch]

summoner didnt have huge changes in 5.05

it was 5.1 when there were much bigger changes to several jobs

like smn and nin

[warm snow]

Oh that would have been in china

Chinese fanfest is on atm

[patent citrus]

oh right bilibili is CN website

[warm snow]

They showed a new mount

concept art

[fast slate]

Do they only stream it on bilibili ;_;

Really wanted to watch it

[warm snow]

All other platforms are blocked in china

They don't have a choice

[fast slate]

oh YIKES

[patent citrus]

yeah not sure what's the rule for VPN and legality in CN

[twilit arch]

fairly certain yes, it was only streamed on bilibili since it was the CN fanfest

[warm snow]

Great firewall and all that shit

[patent citrus]

they are quite heavy in censorship

[fast slate]

That sucksss

[warm snow]

If its any consolation I Dont think they have Endwalker yet

[heavy wadi]

wait, where?

[warm snow]

Chinese fan fest

[twilit arch]

https://i.redd.it/km744g04g8681.jpg

[heavy wadi]

ah, neat

[craggy tinsel]

ooh

[fast slate]

I don't have it either, too broke

[haughty spade]

Do roulette give good exp 80+ or is it better to just do dungeons your level?

[heavy wadi]

there's no reason to avoid doing roulettes.

[patent citrus]

roulette always gives good exp

the MSQ/Frontline/AR/Leveling

[hoary veldt]

My fflogs won't update gelp

[oblique sonnet]

I am leveling Samurai right now. Should i use Kaeshi Higanbana on the Boss?

[faint flare]

Always

It's your best sen spender

[haughty spade]

What about the 50/60/70/80 and trials?

[faint flare]

You should always have it in the boss

[oblique sonnet]

Does it more damage than Kaiten into Higanbana?

[faint flare]

Yes

Oh wait

Kaeshi

[cursive ridge]

you should also use the Kaiten upgrader thingie on Higanbana, it works on the dot part too

[faint flare]

Kaeshi higana is shit

[boreal storm]

Still don’t give as much as the other ones

[twilit arch]

no to 50-80, trials is not amazing exp but goes quick so decent to do

[faint flare]

It doesn't stack with regular Kaiten

[oblique sonnet]

Yeah thats why i am asking

[faint flare]

You only use Tsumbae on Midare or Tenka

Tsumbae does the same damage as the Kaiten Iajutsu

[cursive ridge]

oh... so kaeshi and kaiten higanbana are basically the same thing?

[oblique sonnet]

So there is no reason to use Tsubamegaeshi to strenghten your Higanbana?

[faint flare]

It's the same damage

[craggy tinsel]

having never touched Samurai I have no idea what the hell you guys are talking about and it's funny

[cursive ridge]

well, the dot will have a different color icon, but the effect is the same?

[faint flare]

Literally the same kaiten'd version

[oblique sonnet]

Yeah thats what i am doing right now

[cursive ridge]

so strange

[wet cradle]

what is the spawn rate of the mount fate in the last area?

[faint flare]

Same as all the other super fates, 36-72 hour Cooldown

[wet cradle]

thanks

[cursive ridge]

i'm not lvl 76 yet, does Tsubame break even if you use an ability?

[faint flare]

No

[oblique sonnet]

I dont see the reason to use Kaeshi Higanbana if i can use kaiten+Normal Higanbana.... But i could be wrong. Thats why i asked here

[faint flare]

You can weave between it

You never use Tsumbae on hig

Not even in double dot situations

Cause you only "gain" one sen

[oblique sonnet]

Alright thx 👍🏻 Quess i did everything right then

[cursive ridge]

interesting, i wouldnt expect the devs to make essentially a trap button

[faint flare]

It's basically just consistency with the other Tsumbae skills

Plus it reuses animation and button

[oblique sonnet]

Yeah i mean you have Kaeshi Higanbana but apparantly its a trap button and you should never use it. Really weird

[cursive ridge]

i guess it's the same idea as the bunny mudra on ninja

just not as well executed

[oblique sonnet]

Tbh a lot of samurai players dont even know they can kaiten into higanbana....

[cursive ridge]

what i dont understand is why kaiten-higanbana works, but kassatsu-doton doesnt

[twilit arch]

it does

its just generally not worth using

[patent citrus]

cause you lost gokken

[cursive ridge]

hm, i remember being told it didnt

[patent citrus]

gokken and hyoso only available during kassatsu

so you use tcj on doton usually

[twilit arch]

kassatsu has always worked with doton

use to be decently worth on big trash pulls assuming your tank kept everything in it and for the full duration

[cursive ridge]

not 76 yet so gokken thingie isn't a thing yet

but yeah even before that the difference is minimal and introduces a big chance to mess up

[queen fern]

Should I keep Blizzard on my hotbar after getting Blizzard IV?

[haughty spade]

You think samurai will always be highest damage class?

[slate arrow]

!faq ewbalance

[zinc orbit]

What does Endwalker job balance look like now?

We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:

1. The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.

2. Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)

3. The current sample size of recorded runs and quality of data is not sufficient to eliminate variance in player skill, equipment, party composition, killtime and limited encounter design.

4. While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter design and party makeup. Some have yet to be discovered. These are all things that influence job balance, and can change with Savage even if current potencies remain.

5. Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more in harm than good.

Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.

Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.

[faint flare]

No not really

[patent citrus]

personal DPS probably

since they have no raid buff, kinda unfair if they do less dps

[haughty spade]

I'm looking for a melee dps class to play and they all seem equally cool so can't decide

[patent citrus]

then you need to flip a coin, yeah

[hoary veldt]

why stuck?

[quartz ore]

Still problem Persists with my download on patch files 30413 25008 20495 😦

[oblique sonnet]

Just play them all, thats the beauty of FF14

[long lintel]

How does Garuda's feather rain ability look like? How do I identify it?

[hoary veldt]

i'd recommend actually researching how it plays before you choose don't want to spend ur time lvling a new class after you're done with the other it's slow and boring

[long lintel]

What fase does it appear in

[open coral]

It's a medium-sized AoE with feathers that rain down in P1

Hey everyone

[open coral]

You can't.

[amber night]

What about a buddy pass

What is that

[open coral]

If you don't already have the free trial registered to your account, you cannot download the free trial. Period.

[amber night]

So I have to purchase it

[open coral]

You can't buy the Starter or Complete Edition of the game currently either.

[amber night]

Whys that

[patent citrus]

we are full

[open coral]

They've suspended sales due to the extreme server loads.

[amber night]

Oh

Wow

Thank you aura astra

[idle juniper]

[open coral]

As long as their server is on your datacenter, yes.

[idle juniper]

is a data server a group of servers?

[glossy flare]

yes

[primal ermine]

Yeah, yours is chaos.

[bold sky]

(I'm a new player so bare with me) My aethercharge on summoner school suddenly stopped letting me cast it. I usually just start combat with Ruin then use aethercharge. I'm lvl 48 if that helps.

[honest nexus]

How should I go about getting company seals to rank my gc? (trying to get command missions to level an alt) Already finished the hunting log, and the new one hasn't unlocked yet.

Go to the Doman Enclave first.

Then return to Gangos.

[strange coral]

Are you playing reaper or sage?

[fresh torrent]

I did

No I'm on my main

[remote lintel]

are you trying to unlock bozja

and if so did you do the stormblood alliance raids

[cursive abyss]

The launcher worked now, but can someone translate this to English? https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/287679207432257538/921845558526771270/unknown.png

I want to know what this was

[open coral]

"Final Fantasy XIV has encountered an unexpected error."

[fresh torrent]

I did Ivalice but maybe I didn't do all that's needed from MSQ

[remote lintel]

you need to do the entire quest

[open coral]

Did you finish the entire Ivalice quest chain?

Even after the third raid?

[cursive abyss]

Weird how ENG Launcher Errors are still written in Japanese.

[fresh torrent]

Yea but on MSQ I'm in past Shadowbringer

if it was a gift then i dont see how SE would ban you, at most i would just wait a bit and see if your friend got hit with a backcharge. but i don't think they can do much if your friend already gave the fantasia away

[pulsar kayak]

anybody use Mudfish to play FF14？

[leaden ginkgo]

why is there no ex3

Don’t you need 5.2 progress for Bozja

[remote lintel]

no 5.1

[leaden ginkgo]

did i miss

[remote lintel]

@leaden ginkgo we dont have one yet

[open coral]

EX3 never comes out with the X.0 patch.

[fresh torrent]

Ah damn need 5.3 apparently

[leaden ginkgo]

you only need 5.1 to unlock the first area of bozja

yeah all relic has repplica version

[remote lintel]

complete the 2nd to last step

[patent citrus]

just keep continuting

[mossy delta]

alright, i can get a replica for every version right ?

i like the look of berimbau awoken but not as much gandiva

[patent citrus]

yeah every ver

[remote lintel]

yes

[mossy delta]

cool! i'll go do it then, thank you

[cursive abyss]

Did ShB have all its extra features shown off in its presentation at launch or do extra gameplay features typically get added gradually?

[remote lintel]

extra content is always added in patches thats how its always been

otherwise we would have 2 years of no content

[cursive abyss]

Oh ok, yeah that's just me catching up on 9 years of content, then.

It feels weird being fully caught up now

really weird

[remote lintel]

i joined the 6 month wait just for 4 more raids during covid summer

[fresh torrent]

I wish I would've bought the story skip ticket

[cursive abyss]

Having to wait for more content doesnt really bother me, cause I got stuff like Metroid Dread and Mario Party Superstars

[fresh torrent]

I got like 100 games in my back log yet I'm here trying to unlock bozja to lvl up reaper

[cursive abyss]

If it makes you feel any better, right after I beat 4.0, I halted everything to completely do Eureka

Baldesion Arsenal included

[remote lintel]

could just dungeon spam to lvl up

[fresh torrent]

Gotten boring, better to see new content

[remote lintel]

well i have news for you

[open rivet]

really dumb question.
if there's 8 people in a chocobo race, and someone (or 7) leave,
do they get replaced with NPCs or would that sole person get a free win?

[cursive abyss]

You COULD just buy a boost, but IF you do that, I suggest you take time to learn the job class

[remote lintel]

you cant boost reaper

[cursive abyss]

Oh?

[twilit arch]

new jobs don't have boosts

[fresh torrent]

Boost through all the filler patches would ve nice

[remote lintel]

no patches are filler

[fresh torrent]

Yea I guess at this point not anymore

[fresh torrent]

I'd be surprised if 8 ppl actually play these races

[open rivet]

t'was more a technical question.

[remote lintel]

patches were never filler because theyre part of the msq

[fresh torrent]

Msq is way overblown with pointless stuff tho

[remote lintel]

sure but if you went straight from the end of ARR to the start of HW you would have no idea what is going on

patches have plot

[patent citrus]

assuming the person can read

[fresh torrent]

I skipped 90% up to shadowbringers

And still understood the end

[twilit arch]

😩 lets not get into this

[patent citrus]

yeah if you don't like it, don't play it

[remote lintel]

uh huh

[boreal storm]

Not in this channel anyway

[cursive abyss]

Are there any "Oh my God, I want to kill the level designers for doing this!" Aether Currents in EW?

I know SB was trolly with some of them

[remote lintel]

not really from what ive seen

[open rivet]

no, they're all almost next to MSQ points

it's a lot less of a hassle

[remote lintel]

besides putting some aether currents right next to enemy spawns

[fresh torrent]

Even more completely pointless filler content

[boreal storm]

Ahem ^

[cursive abyss]

How many Atonements can you fit in before sword oath wears off?3?4?

[remote lintel]

i would look in the balance

[twilit arch]

you get 3 stacks of sword oath

that's how many atonements you get

[cursive abyss]

I think Im starting to get it now, so when in Sword Oath, you want to spam Confitior until you run out.

[crystal ingot]

has anyone else been having very slight connection issues? like not dcing but like lagging for a second or two every so often

[twilit arch]

confiteor is only useable under requiescat

why do I see a pubescent Thancred

[lapis star]

hai friends! i've come back after a very long break and feel like i know nothing 😅 how come my monks stances (fists of fire, wind and earth) are now crossed out? D:

[open coral]

They were removed.

[remote lintel]

because of job reworks

[craggy tinsel]

Monk got a heavy rework with Endwalker

[jade quartz]

Removed.

!faq questicons

[zinc orbit]

What do all these quest icons mean?

- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

[lapis star]

oh right xD ty

[simple ocean]

yes

just in case

@thorn valve yes

[open coral]

Did you purchase the Starter or Complete Edition?

[simple ocean]

yeah this is the site i download a fresh launcher

[boreal storm]

If you don’t own an expansion, you can’t play that expansion

[cursive abyss]

You may want to update that faq with the little tiny "quest/info markers" used for chocobo porters, Eureka, and gemstone traders, but thats just me.

[simple ocean]

ah nvm, thx for the help. ima try the 3rd party launcher after i came back home

[thorn valve]

The one in steam, the cheapest one. I think it was 10 euros or something

[simple ocean]

if that fails

[remote lintel]

its for quest icons not all icons

[simple ocean]

just use my phone hot spot to force the launcher to work

[open coral]

I'll assume that means you bought the Starter Edition, which includes only ARR and Heavensward. So you would need to buy Endwalker.

[thorn valve]

Ok then, but if I buy endwalker I get every other expansion as well right?

[remote lintel]

yes

[open coral]

Yes

[quartz ore]

For Paladdin Hyur is better Midlander or Highlander?

[thorn valve]

Fantastic

[boreal storm]

Neither

[sacred apex]

How close does this face look to my old wol(I idiotically forgot to save his data)

[boreal storm]

Race stats don’t matter

[leaden ginkgo]

can pool of tribute EX be soloed?

[boreal storm]

No, because sword

[leaden ginkgo]

thought so

[remote lintel]

it looks the same just with darker hair

and a darker tattoo

[cosmic juniper]

Is there an updated DPS chart? Wondering how reaper compares to samurai

[leaden ginkgo]

dark ||Ardbert||

[remote lintel]

we dont know

[sacred apex]

Ardbert uses different hair fortunately

[remote lintel]

we wont know until like a month after savage releases

[open coral]

Not enough data for a dps chart yet

[cosmic juniper]

Oh ok

[hot eagle]

too early to say, we don't have enough data from the raids and different gear

[cosmic juniper]

What are predictions like though? I’m feeling like samurai out DPS’s reaper based on skill descriptions alone

[remote lintel]

we dont know

[jade quartz]

!faq ewbalance

[zinc orbit]

What does Endwalker job balance look like now?

We cannot meaningfully discuss or draw major conclusions about Endwalker job balance for a number of reasons:

1. The currently available gear is too limited/inconsistent, and future gear’s mainstat/substat distribution may affect balance.

2. Patch 6.05 will likely hold extensive job changes, just like 5.05 did (see: https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/b6083dbda4e9497698b64163ffc8cee52472b81a)

3. The current sample size of recorded runs and quality of data is not sufficient to eliminate variance in player skill, equipment, party composition, killtime and limited encounter design.

4. While basic rotations have been theorycrafted and simulated, optimal rotations are dependent on encounter design and party makeup. Some have yet to be discovered. These are all things that influence job balance, and can change with Savage even if current potencies remain.

5. Preliminary data is often misinterpreted and spread, causing more in harm than good.

Job balance is better left for approximately 1 month after Savage release, since there are more recorded runs, better gearing options + BiS sets, and fight designs are known.

Any current definite claims about job balance are at worst clickbait or pure speculation, and at best educated guesstimates that are subject to change as available information changes.

[open coral]

There is not enough data

[sacred apex]

Also what hyur voices are considered the most annoying (like the annoying female miqote hyah and male viera sounding like link)?

[sacred apex]

Thank you my good friend

[thorn valve]

I understand correctly that there's no need for me to buy endwalker now if I haven't even competed the starter story line right? I read somewhere that the expansions are linear, Is that correct?

[warm snow]

Depends on what you want

And what you currently own

[thorn valve]

Story and some classes which are locked behind story I guess

[thorn valve]

Base game.

[warm snow]

Races and at this point most of the jobs are locked behind the story

So no levelling past 60, hrothgar, viera, red mage, samurai, dancer, gunbreaker, reaper or sage

[thorn valve]

And if I stupidly chose ranger now and don't like it I can just switch to let's say gladiator after lvl 10 right?

[warm snow]

There is no ranger

[thorn valve]

Archer

I'm so sorry

[warm snow]

Yes you can swap freely

With what jobs you want

HOWEVER jobs outside arr have level requirements

[thorn valve]

That is so cool. Love this.

[warm snow]

And absolutely EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress

[warm snow]

Sounds like you came from another game

!faq msqtracker

[zinc orbit]

MSQ Tracker image guide

1. Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.

2. 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.

[rocky sigil]

Sp i am level 30 and also completed all the arcanist guild quest. where do i get the scholar quest?

[warm snow]

Keep on mind that literally everything is locked behind 1 and what's at 2 is even more important

[warm snow]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[thorn valve]

That's ok, I'm mainly here for the story, I heard it's interesting.

While doing it I will get everything else eventually

[rocky sigil]

so i need to also complete all my lvl 20 msq as well?

[thorn valve]

I just want to get away from ranger now.

[warm snow]

Yes

[thorn valve]

I mean archer.

[rocky sigil]

okay thank you

[warm snow]

You probably only have access to gridania at present which limits you to conjurer and lancer, you'll get access to the other 2 cities and by extension gladiator around level 15 in the main story. To change job you do have to do the level 10 archer quest though so keep up with that. It's location will be at 2 on the msq tracker

[tardy epoch]

does anyone play the game on both steam and mac?

[tawny briar]

Are all armors in the game locked behind jobs? Like can a black mage wear anything other than robes for example?

[faint flare]

It's job locked yes

[thorn valve]

If I could I would just make a new character but its locked atm...

[tardy epoch]

i got the game on steam (on my windows computer) but would like to be able to play it on my macbook. I am fine with buying the game again for the mac platform, but will I be able to play the game (and expansions) on both platforms?

[faint flare]

Procs

Firestarter and thundercloud

[warm snow]

Not specifically but most gear is locked to a certain classification, like striking dps, healers, casters etc and your glamour is restricted to stuff your current job can wear

[forest lark]

What does it mean when pf asks for one player per job is it related to loot

Or for example cant be two red mages

[cyan fable]

oh thanks!

[tawny briar]

thanks champion

[hot eagle]

iirc yes should work but you will need to wait till they sell starter/complete edition s again

[warm snow]

I'd you own a license for both platforms you can play on both, you'll need to buy dlc on both platforms going forward though. Buying an additional game license does come with 30 days of game time but sale of ALL base game licences have currently been halted

[warm snow]

Generally party variety buff. You get +1% to hp and the main offensive stats per different role in the party. It'll be listed at the bottom of your party members list

[forest lark]

Oh right I saw those like dex and str buffs

[fringe reef]

is this a visual bug or real data? 9 giving less than 8 materia

[warm snow]

It's a vit /dex/str/mnd/int buff

[forest lark]

I dont think its a buf

[warm snow]

Only odd number materia can be pentamelded

Even numbers can only be advanced melded twice

[fringe reef]

ah, i should read what penta meld than

[hot eagle]

also if you have more as 1 of the same job in the party you generate limit break a lot slower

[quartz ore]

what should i put as (Select your character's patron diety.)?

[warm snow]

Yeh, forgot about that, more variety = faster lb generation

[warm snow]

Doesn't matter

It's flavour text and lore

[leaden ginkgo]

WAR class needs vit / str for stats right?

[jade quartz]

no effect, pure RP

[jade quartz]

Yes

[warm snow]

It's never been addressed, might get an off hand mention in 6.1 but it's suuuuper unimportant

[jagged wave]

which quest do I need to start with fresh out of shb to unlock bozja

[outer plank]

are there any chainmail skirts/kilts for striking sets (samurai/monk). looking for maybe some better pants then this kilt

[quartz ore]

Okey so i want to play as a paladin but in order to unlock pala i need to play Gladiator until 30, and so i create Gladiator..?

[jade quartz]

Yes

Gladiator turns into Paladin at 30

[warm snow]

#glamour-discussion might know better

[outer plank]

level 30 gladiator and the other requirement is that you complete all your class quest from your gladiator guild

[outer plank]

ok

[opaque fiber]

Is there a problem with FFLogs?

[warm snow]

How are we supposed to know

[opaque fiber]

Idk it says something about ACT version so maybe someone knows if FFlogs needs an update or something

[warm snow]

Error message is saying your act version is incompatible

[round arch]

what does "nullifies all action direction requirements" mean ? i don`t understand this

[warm snow]

I think you have this backwards

[warm snow]

Ignores where you are for positionals

[faint flare]

You hit your positional bonuses regardless where you are

[jagged wave]

i dont see a quest called "The Bozja Incident"

[round arch]

what are positional bonuses ? sorry.

[warm snow]

Missing tons of prerequisites

[jade quartz]

Doesn’t mention the most relevant unlock requirement which is the Return to Ivalice raids. These start with the quest Dramatis Personae in Kugane

[warm snow]

You need to complete the entire ivalice alliance raid series in stormblood

[jagged wave]

ty

[outer plank]

you may not have a skill yet but if you read some of the tool tips on those skills, youll notice that if you hit the enemy from the flank (left or right) or rear (back) then their are positional bonus that slightly increases the damage

[jagged wave]

i had already started that quest great

[round arch]

ohh ok. i see. tyvm!

[onyx kiln]

are trusts in the EW dungeons as tedious to do in order to level up your party as they where at first in ShB?

more dmg from the rear

Yes

Same rewards and incentives

how long does it take to get to lvl 30?

However long it takes you to progress the msq that far

i just got to 30 (right now) and ive been playing for about an hour each night for about 4 nights taking my time and doing content quest with msq

shouldnt take too long at all

have a friend who had not finished ARR and yet was almost at lv 80 as a fisher

[faint flare]

Until normal modes for a second

[opaque fiber]

Ohh true they give some goodies too

[tight plinth]

I cant understand how to speed up your mount on every map?

[faint flare]

Story gives you a mount speed up as you complete it for the zone

The second tier you buy but you can fly at that point

[tight plinth]

ahhh I see

[warm snow]

This is only until stormblood @tight plinth, you have to buy mount speed with a new currency from fates starting in ShB. The speed increase isn't available until you do 6 fates in that zone
