well
I've been there and there is no spot
nothing there and I'm Miner lvl 37
Do you have your off hand equipped?
I do
hm, i dont see it either
Have you tried clicking it in your gathering log
my only clue is either I missed a couple class quests (I overleveled due to Diadem)
or it has been moved
ah yeah, you can only really use grade4 nowadays, this is grade1
We’re on grade 4
well maybe there's more but this the only I personally have
restoration(4) has a level 20 recipe
OH I FOUND IT
ok that is why
it should have been removed 
i guess it's there for people who still have the resources
yeah
I've been mining the wrong stuff for the past hour 
well
it's still useful for something else but
as BRD, should I just make a macro of /ac "Nature's Minne" <2>? and i guess <3> for raids?
are Ishgardian restorations going anywhere any time soon?
no
yay
they give sod all for levels above 80 though
sod?
nothing
i say gil
Unless you have someone who specifically wants to have that skill called out on use, I see absolutely no reason why it would matter.
i just dont see why would you ever use it on a not-tank
Those statements don't impact each other.
that macro has nothing to do with 'skill called out on use' either
OH I read sound effect two for some reason
anyway, if you want to have it target a specific player, sure, it's not really going to hurt anything
where is the old sharlyan leves located? for doh/dol
The thing is, you may want to use it on the other tank too
oh right thx
yes, I get that now that I'm no longer mysteriously reading it as <se.2> for whatever reason my brain decided
they did say 3
so they've got that covered I think lol
hi does any1 have a workaround for this error?
i wish you could do conditional modifiers in macros...
I wanted to ask is clearing ultimate raids a proof that you're a really good player? I want to do something that serves the purpose of telling me "ur a god at the game"
Oh well, do try to make 15 lines of it... or as many as possible, macros arent known for being the most responsive
!faq xivlauncher
aside from World First clears, not really
Isn't there other stuff to do that's rare or something?
Mahjong Master
What's that
Ultimates are kinda rare, but among ultimate players, it is known that just clearing ultimates doesnt makes a good player
there are people who sell clears, and so simply having the title is not proof that you know anything at all
Yeah but I want to earn like something that proves that I'm a good fucking player u know like a badge of honor
plenty of garbage players still manage to get carried through ultimates
screw mahjong. I tried playing that in the yakuza games and after page 22 of the "how to play" screen i threw my hand up and said NOPE!
Go do savage and parse then
Parse 100s or 99s in Savage and you'll be dang good at your job
until someone else does
So doing parse 100s or 99s is like universally seen as ur a good player?
Well...yeah 😂 its fierce competition out there, but hey, just do you, i know im a good player, and thats all i need
being able to just clear a savage is good
on party finder
👍
Kinda...
not a static
coz statics sometimes can give a free carry if you've joined an ongoing one
yeah but depends on the fight
if u get a 100 parse on cape westwind it doesnt matter
we specified savage
I do PF all the time...its pain
also there aint much in this game in the way of "This player is a god" singularly, but it's the sum of all that you achieve that make you a great player
@formal depot raise all of your jobs (War/Field/Hand) to 90 gain all the beast tribe mounts and the golden magitek armor. I will tell you you are good at the game
and you aren't going to parse shit in pf, statics are better off with optimisation runs
uhh
Raising jobs to 90 is just a grind tbh
Incorrect... i've gotten my purple 90+ in Pugs
theres a lot of them

purples are indiciative of a good rotation but not good utilisation of raid buffs etc
potd solo clear is decent ?
Its a japanese game. Grind required dedication and dedication makes you a good player
Yeah... kinda... its decent but doesnt says anything about your skill in endgame or max level game sense
does anyone have experience with selling gold certificates for gil for savage raid release?
Like I said, outside of World First, there really isn't anything.
not sure if i should just list on pf to find a buyer in advance or try to sell day of
Yeah but I'm not looking for that I'm more of "skill" but I've kind of seen what content makes u a good player so ima try to do most of them
well can stgart there 🙂 today if u want :p
If you're looking for something to mic drop on people, you may have come to the wrong game.
Depends on the server, in Lamia, the armor was worth like 14 million gil so i just sold the mount for 16 millions gil(Faux hollows mount)
Not really it's just for personal satisfaction
doesn't mean it's actually going to have players capable of parsing, more often than not parse pfs have people who just reached green
Then the Gold Magitek armor. That will mean atleast 500 people think your good enough
Oh huh, I thought the gear would be able to go for way more on day one of savage release
ya but its very fleeting , once you acheive it, game feels bleh after that
keep playing and eventually will get there
Then endgame raids then, just Savage(current) and Ultimates
Mind you, Savage isnt out yet, its gonna be out in like 3 weeks, and if you are new to the game(as i assume you are) you are most likely gonna make a lot of mistakes
Lol on msq playing as tank I used to get that all the time I don't think I'm too far of the 500 tbh 😹
It depends on the server, sometimes there aint much demand for it
\
Yeah I know I'm not at that level I just want like a goal to progress to
Its further than you think, trust me
Yeah I just thought about all the msq dungeons and I miscounted severely 💀
500 is a looonngg way
Anyways lets not dwelve too much into it, this aint the channel for it after all
Thanks for the help since I finished msq I didn't really know what to do lol
And leveling up jobs got me so bored
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
Lets you track your DPS... but do not talk about it in game
how good is 50607080 roulette now?
lets break it down shall we? MSQ dungeons means you have a chance at 3 coms per dungeon and i tanked Wanderers Palace as a dragoon once and still couldnt get the 3. And so that means you would have to run 166 dungeons and score all 3 every time. @formal depot
In what context?
Do i need fflogs or stuff installed if i join "log" party in PF? (I mean if someone upload log will it register in my character page too)
You dont need it
Okay
If someone uploads it, as long as your character is set to public it will be there for everyone to see
on every context, because i believe it used to be worse than alliance back before EW
Damn I saw someone with the Golden mount and I was like "look nice" but now I'm impressed 😳
Cool, thx
I do not understand what do you mean by "better"... like, the players? The exp? The dungeons?
500 dungeon comendations. That means 500 players think your good at playing your class
This is debatable
Comms dont mean anything
comms do not mean anything at all
Do expansions go on sale? and if so how often?
U can get ff14 + shadowbringers for 20e
When there's a sale
That's how I got into the game
Like on xmas sometimes...new years maybe... black friday it was 5% off...which was like 3 bucks less
where can i check coms anyways ?
Commendations are mostly a courtesy. Typically in dungeons, the tank and healer swap commends, and the DPS do ... whatever.
In your Character screen, on the reputation Tab
the reward, so exp and gil
ok nm i see
And then theres these typoes of players. they see someone trying to talk up someone to feel good about the game only to step in with "WELL AKTUALLY!" and stomp them back down
Ever since I leveled up reaper I get no comms at all 😭
half way...yay im 50% good anyways 🙂
Oh... it's same as always, you get like 20% of your exp bar from the roulette bonus+whatever exp from the bosses
comms just mean you play tank or healer often, which they pretty much automatically go to whether you did a good job at playing your class or not
Well the reaper is the dragoons "gifted" little brother
This aint the channel for this buddy
dude i play healer, let everyone die and still get coms :p
When doing big pulls as tank is it preferred to walk up and aoe, or tomahawk+onslaught+provoke each add individually and keep movin? Or doesn’t matter at all?
Well when you get moved up to the moderator section you can dictate what can and cant be said, until then im free to express myself within the rules
Whichever lets you pick the mobs the easier
please check the channel topic and you'll see that "offtopic discussion" is not within the rules
In most cased if you are the first to get one mobs aggro the rest should follow for the group. Then AOE them when near. Thats what i do
does anyone know the name of the theme of the ||final battle of Endwalker||?
Personally i do a combination of all... for first pack i do Sprint Tomahawk, Tab to change target>Provoke, get in melee range, Tab to change target>singletarget attack to the remaining mob, then run to next pack and do my singletarget combo to get my dmg buff running(on WAR), and then AoE spam away
@storm sapphire of course this was during ShB, and i havent tried yet, may be rusty myself
But its up to you to try new stuff and see what works for you
That’s similar to what I’ve been doing, and spamming ranged as I keep running, but every once in a while a dps goes hard on an add and rips aggro so I’m wondering if I could stop that from happening
Or if it’s on them for doing single target damage?
Oh, while running i just do the jiggly run back>AoE> run forward>run back when GCD is ready>AoE>run forward
and they are always going to do that unless you speak up and tell them your going for big pulls
Oh I always state I’m going big at the start
With enough hits from your end they shouldnt rip aggro
To make sure the healer is prepared or wants to
My experience if you communicate, most will abide by the tank... MOST being the opperative word
Personally i havent had aggro ripped off from me, even with crazy MCHs doing Drill+Air Anchor
2 AoE hits from a tank with tank stance on should be enough to hold aggro
same issue lol
!faq xivlauncher
ya used alternet version but not working
is the game running for you now?
Huh... weird
are you from SEA any chance?
ya
Seems like its mostly SEA players w this issue
rip..
ya mine is in mana
maint. soon right?
morrow
I suspect it's routing issues
try using a vpn and choose diff locale
@storm sapphire how far into Marauder/warrior are you?
Yeah, a VPN seems to be able to fix it... there may be routing issues from one of SEA's ISP to SE's login servers
90
mabey... switch it up. Have you tried other tank classes?
have you tried DRK?
I have, but it’s not fully leveled yet
put some time into it, its pretty damed satisfying

especially when you like .5% health and pop the living dead
They vary ALOT though
I've played very little tank so I defer to your experience
Living dead gives you barrowed time where you cant die for 10 seconds unless a heler cant get you back to full health
Speaking of living dead, I got a macro that plays a sound to notify the healer, is that normal or considered annoying and I should remove that?
Tonight i was running a dungeon. i used living dead and while the healer was dead and the 3 of us pulled out the win... and then i died. It was worht it
As a healer, I would appreciate it but I don't know if I would recognize it
Its meh, distracted healers will appreciate it, good healers wont care
no you really want that macro
Ah alright
unlike "The Dome" living dead doesnt haave a big visual queue
Coming from my endgame PoV... if a tank ever has to use Living Dead, im either dead, or we did it on purpose, in which case i am ready to heal it, and no need to tell me
Do we know what will be the minimum ilvl requirement for the raid ? If we don't know are we expecting 570 (which would mean that we need an item from an Ex trial) ?
I am also a big fan of Blackest Night. it allowsme to stay there while most tanks GTFOTW
If ShB is any precedent, it’ll be 550-555
what should i be spending crafter white scrips on
Oh that would be even lower than what is required to unlock Ex trial, good to know ! Thank you !
Makes sense, the normal raid will be easier
Context matter, do you have logs ? 
You won’t need that much gear to do it
UH OH! looks like someone has played the "Pics or it didnt happen" card
Can someone post what is solo and aoe rotation for lvl 60 black mage? i will get Fire IV and i am little confused by it, so i get three umbral hearts during ice, then use fire III to change to fire rotation (and increase dmg) andthen use three hearts for free Fire IV and then go bac kto spamming fire I?
!faq blmleveling
hey i logged out in another server. is there a way to log back in directly to mine ? didnt find it
was it updated for new expansion?
yes
I would say that it's good in that case yes 
Loks like you are ready to graduate to real rotations there Poro
Should be like 580 for savage i believe
Question many PF for EX trials require 570+ ilvl how do I get there? my ring is 560 but the 570 one is unique
Without going through the world transfer queue once already logged in, nope
Join a different party lol
reading through those... i dont think i want to do BLK anymore
all of them are like 573 574
too bad thanks
how do i get my rowena's representative to have unlocked higher ilevel subcategories?
Join a party that says it’s for practice
what is Foul spell?
but I already beat the trial
i get easily flustered just trying to DPS a DRG these days
Well, no one should care for your gear surely
Either that, or start your own party
Party requirements cant be bypassed so apparently people do care
If the difference between normal and Savage requirement is that big I guess that the raid will drop enough to go from 569 to 580 (or there will simply be other way to get gear ?)
I'm just curious how one gets that ilvl at this stage in the game
You can get like, 569 from full tomestone gear and one ring
Then it’s all about getting that single EX drop
yes I'm at 569
level 70 spell
Normal raid should drop iLVL 580 gear... wait Savage will need iLVL 570 then, iLVL 580 for last floor
its unaspected
aaah thanks
The same way we all didnit.. we ran the ex and got loot there ;l
Like there were no shortage of i560 parties
but now I'm stuck because no party will take a 569
If literally every party demands your gear be 570 or higher, try sending tells to the party leader asking
“Hi I’ve killed the boss already but only have ilvl 569 can I join”
ok maybe I'll try that
Make your own
this is an easy way to get blacklisted
Is it true that Superbolide has a period right after using where the hp cost is paid but the invincibility hasn't kicked in yet?
yes
Is this period long enough for me to consider it before using Superbolide?
it's a lot smaller than let's say... Hallowed Ground
If they’re that toxic they’re going to blacklist you over that, you don’t want to be in their party anyway
Is there a way to get the gear I want from a dungeon other than keep redoing it?
And there’s only so many solutions to this problem besides making your own party
keep doing it
:'(
Oh yeah
@leaden ginkgo depends on the gear
It just doesn't show up
It's not "depends" you cant force a dungeon drop to drop
It's just a rdm gear in a story dungeon
Some gear can come from optional chests though right?
Of course
If it can then you can increase your chances by opening all the chests
Yeah, keyword: Can
how over leveled are you? or do you need that gear to progress?
Right so it does depend on the gear

I believe one level over the stuff
I wanted for the looks actually but it's the strongest for my lvl
i mean is it for stats or glamor?
I dont follow that logic mate, its not guaranteed
I guess I am redoing the dungeon then
Yeah I'm just saying if the gear you want can be in optional chests then you improve your chances of getting it by opening the optional chests
ok so for the glamor, come back when you like +10 levels and solo it. Otherwise, dont get hung up on those specific peices cause youll find better pretty quickly
With or without another fully levelled job?
so unless we are talking Endwalker dungeons, you can always go back solo as an undermatched prty and just fly through it in minutes if you really want the look
Nah I want to progress the story with that look I do waste my time a lot for these thing in rpgs
is there anything i can do with tombstones of aphorism other than buying i570 gear ?
then yeah... your gonna have to bite the bullet on this one
unless you have a level 90 friend anyway
For now? No
There is no lvl 90 crafted combat gear to use mats for
Does EW have relic weapon? (Is that a spoiler if so don't respond)
relic weapons are added in patches
Is it worth getting crypt lurker gear if I already have exarchic stuff?
I am in early post-StB
Only for the mounts
a few rare drops from there sell okay
I see thanks
if you havent yet, you should. If anything for the experience
I'd say yeah, its 10 iLVLs more, but it also depends on your skill level
So I should do it on an alt class?
no, not for XP... for the EXPERIENCE. You know, to see it atleast once
I'm a casual so I would say my skill is pretty bad..
It's a cool place
Ohhh I see thanks for the clarification
getting cryptlurker is worth it because you will also use it on alt jobs that use this armor
Isn't early EW gear better then cryptlurker?
Ah gotcha
seems they shifted from Shadowbringer. I rode the Aug Skaven all the way to the end of that one
no that's always been the case
why i got 0 exp? i cannot get more exp because i am on trial or because i am in heavensward?
lvl 84 gear is 533 ilvl, 3 ilvl higher than aug crypt
lvl 60
trials are capped at level 60
holy shit heaven-on-high gets ridiculous from floor 51 onwards
You sure? i have a metric ass-ton of Shadowbringers coffers on one of my banks
positive, last expansion poetics gear is only starting to get outclassed at x4 lvl
Yeah
Hmm how do you get gear upgrades from lvl 84 onwards?
Buy crafted gear from market board?
You usually don’t really need to use the MSQ gear coffers
msq, craft, sidequests
Generally you can just squeeze though
i've not used msq coffers for gear
i'm using them to fullfill GC deliveries to level my crafters
considering the only non-solo content in EW is at lvls 83 and 90, you can easily play through the whole MSQ in cryptlurker
Yeah
I need help to subscribe from Playstation. I don't know which product I buy from PSN, and I don't know how it will be linked to my account. I linked my PSN with my Official Square, other Square and the Mog station.
ok now im thinking we are disagreeing while agreeing here
How can I color my chocobo
From PSN I only have the complete edition and the Collectors options. Yesterday I bought the collectors and it didn't popped with my account (I hadnt linked anything until then), because of this I contacted PSN costumer support and they refunded me. I really want to subscribe.
when i said i rode Aug Akeavan through Shadowbringers, yeah i was just talking about MSQ
well yeah, you can totally do that, i'm just saying the the gear starts to get better half way through
nothing passed that like patches or anything like that
the leveling gear
yeah i totally misread you there
i thought you were saying the cryptlurker was usless like near the begining of endwalker
Where can I get chocobo food and how can I feed them?
Gardening/marketboard/Gnath Beast Tribe
You also need a chocobo stable to feed them, which means you need a Personal/FC house or an apartment.
So basically I can't color my chocobo unless I have a house ?
i never really got into coloring my chocobo... with all the mounts out there its just kinda stopped mattering
Damn why so many steps lol
or an appartment
I rlly thought I'll just get a dye or something rip
Ill say it again
This is a Japaneese game. The grind means dedication. Dedication is like everything over there
Yeah yeah just didn't think its on every little thing
the grind is only there, for side content, at least from what ive seen so far
for main content, its pretty non-grindy, levelling classes is quite easy
at least compared to other MMOs imo, but you can do all classes on one char, soo that may be like that on purpose
Sorry. They dedicate themselves to every little thing over there. Their work, their schooling, their families
What does that have to do w anything lol
Because. Thats how they live and it shows in their game.
I do like the attention to detail but sometimes it does feel unnecessary
That's MMOs in general, it's not a Japan or even Asia-exclusive thing.
Tell that to my grandmother....
No just Sharlayan
Alright thanks
uh.. what did they change about blue mage again so you don't need to use macros anymore for hotbars?

i remember there was something
Which expert dungeon is fastest?
Is purple il570 crafter gear even worth it? I swear I can do better with a majority of my 490 stuff lol
That's basically the crafter af gear
The crafted gear with basic melds is better anyways
af gear?
Artifact
I used to use a blue mage macro to change all my hotbars and spellbook skills for different roles
Job specific gear
something like
/micon BLU classjob
/bluespellbook preset 1
/hotbar copy Archer 1 "Blue Mage" 1
/hotbar copy Archer 2 "Blue Mage" 2
/hotbar copy Archer 3 "Blue Mage" 3
/hotbar copy Archer 4 "Blue Mage" 4
/hotbar copy Archer 5 "Blue Mage" 5
There's been straight up load outs for blu since before endwalker
At least since the level 70 update and probably longer
Ahh I mean it’s core values are better than a lot of my 490 overmelded in just been noticing however I take a small cp hit and I’m wondering if it was worth it
ah, it's been a while
i have an interesting question - if you glamour over a dyed piece of gear and then dispel glamour, will the item be dyed or return to basic?
Return to basic
meh, disappointing
Yes, careful of what u dye
basically if you decided to use a rare dye, always use it on a glamour plate instead
No
Use it on an item inside a glamour dresser
same difference
Not really
Using it on a plate means that if you try to put the item on another plate, it wont have the rare dye
Using it on the item in the glam dresser means that any subsequent plates at which you put the item, it will default to the rare dye, and u can still dye the plate on a less-rare dye without compromising the rare dye in the dresser
dyeing the item in the plate does not affect the item in the dresser
I've a question of my own... when does Kupobot gets updated with Balance guides btw? I got this from someone here in #tank-lounge and they got it from The Balance... but it isnt in Kupobot yet, right?
Yes, exactly this, you managed to explain it better in fewer words
goddamn im dumb at explaining
hello, is anyone else having this problem?
ya tons of folks this morning are
SEA players are having issues, yes
aw man
The workaround currently is to get a VPN, seems to be routing issues
is there a fix from SE coming soon?
Dont know, do try to report it to SE's customer support tho
alright ty
what is this number?
Ranking
😮 can i have it too?
Yeah, everybody has one provided they've done the fight
It's not on lodestone right? It's the dps percentile thing
Yeah its on fflogs
ahh
how to unlock master IX books? do i need lvl 90 first?
Not out yet
oh ty
is it possible to set my return point to my FC's house?
If I give my retainer proper gear will it even affect their gathering rates etc? or is it just for appearances
Uh there's a minimum for gathering stuff
No, only big aetherytes
Like if you want to gather high level items like the old cotton, you need a minimum of e.g 1.8k gathering? or smth
Just an example, idk the exact value, I only know the EW ones, but that'd be spoiling i think.
is that for retainer as well or?
im not leveling gatherers but my retainer has no gear except for main hand lol
Wait u mean for botany/fishing/mining or woodland/seaside/mining exploration?
Hello I have a very weird issue, I play on PS5 but have a bluetooth keyboard connected, for some reason my keyboard is stuck on caps lock, I can only type in caps unless I press shift. I broke my old keyboard (the exact same kind) because I thought the button was stuck and I snapped half of my keys in half trying to get it out.
does it really matter at that low levels 
both
Apparently its a settings/software thing and I have it again this time, does anyone know how to get rid of it because it is annoying as fuck
maybe the soft keyboard has caps on ?
software on screen keyboard ?
awww fuck
does ps have that ?
time to find proper gear then 💀
ya
ah well, attributes matter for the 18h long exploration, so you need gear.
For the gathering of specific items, there's a minmum value of gathering u need.
idk about bonus items tho, coz i have 5 retainers with level 90 scrip gear + 80 scrip accessories, never seen bonus items
I dont know If i check the ingame chat window to type in it shows no caps lock
This is so fucking weird, I wasn't even using my keyboard I was making some macros
Oh wait, maybe it's just the number of items they bring back.
wait so my retainers can have lvl 30+ gear?
In that case idk the base value.
if they're lv30+, yes
i just do quick exploration to level them to 90 tho
coz no point prepping gear for them as they level
ooohh
They gear up similarly to players
its fast tho, i can get a retainer from 1 to 70 in 3 days
perhaps an NPC labeled "Fieldcraft Merchant" or something
I use the 18h ventures because I'm a lazy fuck
Can I get these not in yellow somehow?
can I glamour my retainer's gear?
Yes
yeah
poggers
Serpents Privates bottoms
loads of results there
oh ye good point, probably have others
You have to get them to at least level 50 first, iirc.
Shares models with these funny things
ooh
I thought you could just glam the gear first then slap them on the retainer 
Hempen looks easiest to obtain.
It's shift + Caps lock apparently, just letting u guys know in case u ever struggle with that, could've saved me 10 bucks if i knew this before
hi i am trying to launch the game but this shows up everytime, why is that?
Omg wow i didn't know about this page
Ah, balls, I'm thinking of squadrons lol. Retainers, yeah, just glamour it and put it on them lol.
good to know
Thank you!!
lots of reports on that this morning from certain areas due to routing ... pls try using a VPN
how do i do the level 85 alchemist collectible?
how does switching spearheads work in spearfishing?
hm, I'm looking at the fishing tracker, and it says I need the large gig for some reason
is it just wrong?
then it wasnt updated
SEA is having routing issues with the launcher
oh, i see. can i ask is it due to my computer's problem or the server/smth else
Your ISP
but it's endwalker fish
ohhh okay okay i thought it was my pc
it's in ||thavnair||
i play on japanese server
well they're smoking something strong then
you can use the quicklauncher to fix it usually
It is irrelevant which server u play at, has no effect on the login service
!faq altlauncher
I heard some reports that it doesnt fixes it im afraid
for some it did fix the issue so worth trying
VPN seems to work, cuz it reroutes the connection
i tried to go into my game files and chanegd the "BootVersionCheckMode 0, change it to 1 and save," is what i got from reddit
that's a different issue with a different error message
na it's fine
but yeah try the alt launcher and if that doesn't work you'll have to check with a VPN
okay, much appreciated!
Can we join back the novice channel even when we're not a novice anymore and without having to be a mentor ? the world felt much more lively with it
only returner status can do that
if you're not returner/sprout/mentor, can't use novice network
where do i go to turn in my moon gel collectables?
any collectable NPC, there's one in most major cities including the 3 starting ones
what gatherer gear is the best? the purple scrips one or crafted & materia?
why is lvl 50/60/70 roulette so mediocre in terms of exp. It's nuts
oof ok
I'm never doing this again
the purpose is getting poetics more or less, so yeah xp is crap
ty
its not for xp
like trial and raid roulette
Trial is pretty quick at least 
those are for poetics
I still do it for exp
it aint good... but it aint bad neither
alliance raid is for exp tho right?
And trials in general are just a blast to play through
Yes
ye its decent
PvP is also good for exp
aight,
alliance frontlines leveling and main story roulettes give good xp
trial/raid don't give good xp but are usually super fast so can be worth it if you're bored of doing the same thing over and over
hello, i forged an aether pool grip but where i can actually go to get my potd weapon?
it doesn't say where to exchange it

I went Leveling (regular not 50-80) and got Great Gubal 🤢 . Sometimes RNG is cruel.
What does HxD means under pf descriptions, first I thought it was company related cause I've seen fc with that name, but then its probably not
same npc where you forged the grip
Normal pandemonium is out this week?
21
Ok, so I've played like 10ish hours and the story is pretty meh right now. It gets better right? How long in general untill I get to the first expansion ?
what level is your MSQ?
18 I think
The level cap now is 90, to start with
Ahh so I'm getting to the good stuff later then. Gotcha
whats the fastest way to lvl 80-90 as tank? dung spam or fates?
At the start I didn't like the tab combat, but I somehow got used to it and starting to love the feel of this game.
So I've been really trying to glamour Carbuncle into Ifrit Egi but it's not working
It judt says unable to execute coand at this time
What am I doing wrong?
I tried petglamlur, egiglamour, petmirage, none of them worked
What's tab combat?
Last Area in EW question:
||I did 3 chi fates but nothing dropped, do I need to do something before it gets unlocked? or is the drop rate just bad for me||
Did you unlock it at the arcanist guild
You need gold ranking in the fate
Did you get gold?
You didn't do enough damage to get the contribution for gold
Yes! Gold
You need to unlock it
Always join a party for iy as contribution is shared
*?
Yes
Can you disable fate soundtrack btw?
Lv50 in arcanist guild
Oh
So I still can't get it.
Sure wish the game made it clearer
!quest An Egi By Any Other Name
Not even when I looked up the command it told me
How was I supposed to know that
Cause it's the adjusted egi glamour command
Are glams purely on client side? Cause I swear I've seen people walk around with Egis
Size is client
All righty
quickest way to cap poetics in a day (without the roulette)?
hunt train spam when world visit isn't crapping itself
what's interesting is that if you glamour egis to a different model, the pre-90 version of the primal summon will use that different glamour
it carried over my previous settings so it was weird seeing a ruby carbuncle disappear only to be replaced by the same ruby carbuncle
Do I need to do the Chi fates with a Level 90 character maybe? I thought I could use it for EXP but now its the fourth fate and no single drop despite being gold
wait does the rose lanner not play ravana's theme? i never actually used it so im ganuinly asking
it does ok then cool
cause someone told me it didn't
Recently got a ps5 and wanted to start playing on there instead of pc. After I downloaded the game and bought the endwalker expansion on the ps store I tried logging in with my square Enix account that I used for pc and got this screen - any idea on what I need to do? Just trying here before contacting customer support lolol
You need to buy the starter edition
You don't own the game on PSN
Which they've removed from the store due to congestion
ok so somebody told me that crafted gatherer gear is better than the purple scrips one. i checked both pieces and even took materia X into consideration, and after doing alot of maths i see 0 reasons to go for the Chondrite Pickaxe, i think the Minesoph's Pickaxe is better in every aspect. Can somebody explain please cause i am confused?
Overmelds.
It isn’t unique also
You can meld up to 5 materia on crafted gear.
how much overmelding is possible tho? i thought it's only 5 materia
exactly, even then
You can actually get gp and more stats on iy
Ahh gotcha ok thanks both of you - guess I’ll have to wait to play on ps5 for them to add it back to the ps store
Actually, could you show the math?
when you put all perception, you have a little bit more perception (around 14) than the scrips one. but then you're missing 151 gathering
14 perception is not much and really not worth the gil you're using while overmelding
Completely valid at the end of the day.
What's the reward for this again?
EXP, mainly
wait but the xp is abyssmal
I don't even know then
it's ARR content
oh right stat squish also crunched a lot of things
Anyways, a qustion for y'all,
Big thigh fem roe or Angry potato
Hrothgar
Potatoes cause I can kick them like a namazu
Fair
Guys I know it's 8 am but it's QnH not #memes-and-shitposting
can someone help? i got this weird case where every 19:00 pm until 21:00 pm my connection to my server (tonberry) suddenly went to shit, like i check my ping an its full of RTO and the latency goes up a lot
but at the same time, my internet is fine, i even ping the NA server and its fine (no RTO whatsoever), it only happen during that time and on tonberry server
is this from my end or something else? can anyone help?
Hi all, i wanted to ask - is the game lively at 1am UK time on Eu datacenters or shall I accept the ping and go american?
I think it's lively 24/7 for y'all NA/EU right?
If possible, how can I play on Ubuntu?
Its just whether u want a 20k queue or 7k queue
Will mount drop chance from new ex trials increase as time goes on? Or it will always be this rare drop
cool as long as its not dead 😄
Steam Proton
I tried to play WoW nocturnal EU and it was dead
I don't have the game on steam xD
It gets buffed when it becomes buyable with totems
Qh ok then ty
Add it as a non steam game
That works with proton?
anyone got this problem? or am i the only one here?
No clue
so with the free 14 days do we need to claim it or something?
You need proton though because it doesn't have native Linux support
or does it come automatically
Automatically
ok ty
Prolly coz thats JP peak time
Provided you have an active sub
And when is that btw this is my first expac on launch
Outside of them time my queues are non-existent, but during that time my queues can go up to 600
Population shouldn't be affecting your latency
Two major patches
If the next patch doesn't fix it I'd contact support
Owh, then prolly his ISP sucks
Ah i see
So 6.2
Thats a long wait
i can unerstand queue go up to 600+ i got that too, but it shouldnt affevt my latency
is it even my isp? during that shit time on tonberry server, my internet is fine, i check on speedtest its fine, i even ping NA server and its fine, its only to tonberry server
ISP intentionally throrttling or server issues, im guessing either one
Prolly server then :c
If someone has a little crown next to their name is that a mentor?
Yes. Full crown is every mentor, hammer is trade mentor (useless) sword + crown is combat/pvp mentor
I dont even think pvp mentors exist
Ah ok thanks
the left one is ultros server, the right one is tonberry server, i ping this at the same time
have no idea why
one is in north america, other is in japan?
what? what happened? i didnt hear anything about it
yeah
are you confused that routing differs between places half a planet away?
And even if you login to other worlds because of various reasons there's still a connection to the home world
iam not exactly know much about this kind of stuff, but basically you mean that during "that time" my connection to JP somehow went shit?

routing is basically magic and the thing is, you really cant do much about it
it will probably get fixed by some network engineer somewhere eventually
your only option is to try a VPN
hmm i never try vpn, guess i can try that one
note that free VPNs are usually very shit
oh
paid VPN services often have trial periods
so you can try setting one up and see if it fixes your issues
can you glamour other classes gear onto a different class? (i.e glamouring white mage gear onto samurai gear)
It exists. The icon is a flag over the crown. There's no special requirements for it apart from battle mentor though.
if you cant equip it, it will not show
No, one of the glamour requirements is that you must be able to equip it normally.
Do pure-pvp players exist?
what does the caution sign over the crown mean?
There’s a pure mahjong player in FFXIV
So prolly
They're up for renewal cause of the updated mentor requirements
That's a true endgame player right there.
With EW release, the requirements have changed and mentors need to meet the new requirements. The caution sign is saying they haven't done so yet.
Oh I see, thanks to you both
He said it’s bc FFXIV has the best online version of mahjong lmao
Does anyone recommend a class for clearing Palace of the dead from 1 to 200 for the title, right now I'm using gun breaker but I can use another class
Machinist, Red mage,warrior
Red mage or machinist
People recommend mch rdm
Because ranged classes tend to have a better time
Warrior got buffed on solo potd front due to raw intuition
I prefer aurum vale but you’d need to be at cap for that to be fast
All right I'll use machinist thanks!
is tam tara deepcroft the fastest for light farming on ARR relic light step ?
Just spam ifrit normal
If I do alliance raid daily as a dps when its adventurer in need, I get these new crystals, now daily duty for alliance is asking again for dps, but I was wondering if I complete it as dps again cause its asking for one, do I still get materia crystals for cometing it even though it says "Reward already received"
Yes
I assume the nessage means for bonus xp only, no?
The adventure in need isn't a daily lock
Not counting whatever random dungeons are giving bonuses
Ah great, everything else asks for tank 😭
I wonder how it was during ShB launch
Healer instants i guess
Cant even get one for healer lol mostly tank every single time
since ShB was GnB and DNC release
That's cuz sage
Blame the gun healer
I know, no wonder x materia are 50-60k each on mb
it's been tank for like 8years
once in a while it's healer or DPS and yeah it's less often this expansion, but it's always been 80+% tank
I think the IX materia will increase in price once crafted sets are avaliable.
Because people will pentameld.
as a new player i can understand why, tanks are expected to know way more
I just dont know where to go in most of the dungeons lol
Just walk the straight dungeon line
kinda? past ARR leveling dungeons are predictable enough you don't really need to know what you're doing, trash wise, and boss is just the same as being the healer and not knowing and dying to mechanics then causing a wipe
I didn’t know shit starting out
After you get out of ARR dungeons it's ezpz
some are linear some don't seem to be
After arr all dungeons are a line
I just pushed the angry button and tried to not die
in 1-49 and the first few 50 dungeons you do need some knowledge of where to go/what to pull and stuff, after that's there's walls so you just pull from a wall to the next wall basically
That being said I've almost hit 81 on my SCH and thinking about leveling warrior.
and it's all linear stuff
there are no real "dungeons" in the commonly understood sense, only three boss rooms separated by hallways with turns
Haukke manor is a full on maze compared to lvl50+ dungeons. Knowing the way is the least of the tank's concern. But now you can't use the 'getting more exp' excuse when you go the wrong way
Is there a way to level SMN and SCH seperately? I do better if I can learn a class from the beginning and I want to try both but if I level as SCH I'll have a harder time getting the hang of SMN and vice versa
No.
They are both tied to the Arcanist base class, and as either one of them, you will earn Arcanist experience, which will automatically apply to both.
They have separate job quests
That's about it.
Even if you unlock one stone and not the other, the experience will translate. You will just suddenly be the same level as your chosen class.
even as lv 90, so no worries about it
how do I verify with kupobot?
think you have to put some code in your lodestone profile
then ask the kupo to verify you
how do I re-ask for that code lol
Does anyone have a reaper controller setup?
because I've been in the server for quite a while but never bothered to verify
Is there anyway to improve mob drop rates? .-.
nope
just kill more
That’s why retainers do it for ya
There's like 1 skill, but it only works on one mob every 2 or so minutes
which is practically nothing
sadge
why is my Linkshell option is greyed out in the social menu ?
cause you haven't joined any
are you in one?
What is the best food to use as a rdm in savages and extremes rn
There are quite few new, I've been using Sykon salad spell speed vit and dr +8%
Probably Sykon Bavarois if you don't need spell speed
And it's rdm
Yeah probably Ill try, I mean as a rdm dont really need spell speed hah
is it better to lvl in POTD by spamming floor 51-60 or keep going higher
any1 know when does the bonus light in dungeon for ARR relic reset ?
every 2 hours
finish the whole quest in that hours once you found the bonus
you'll save 50% of your time
is tomestone of aphorism only used for tomestone gear rn?
Yeah
I'm on my first playthrough of the game (just hit level28) and I'm tending to only do the main quest line - should I be doing all the side quests to or is it worth leaving them in case I choose to level another class? Thanks 🙂
!questicon
Everything I've read says do MSQ (main story quest) on first character
!faq questicon
- 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.
main quest should be sufficient to level one job to levelcap, barring a few blind spots, which you can cover with dungeons
!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.
I wish we could update that kupo bot image so that MSQ is complete but my first chocobo isnt done
anyone know how to fix FFXIV boot error. unable to complete version check? my friend is currently facing this issue and he tried a few methods (such as disabling firewall, editting the FFXIV_Boot.cfg file) but it didn't fix the issue.
Thanks lovelies!
does quick synth has a chance to fail? And if so, what determines that
recommended rating
If you're below this u have the chance to fail
by this i dont mean that specific number of 2590
ty!
No, they are wooden clogs. Clearly superior to wooden boots
Wooden clogs = ok
Wooden Boots = wtf u crazy
Positioning mostly and knowing burst. If you don't know bursts then your TTK will be high.
You'll also waste mental bandwidth on hitting buttons instead of focusing on positioning and identifying enemy CC that was wasted, your own teams positioning and CC, etc.
Much like PvE in that regard 
how many dungeon will be on bonus at one time
prob only 1, you just need to try it out
DRK question: just now i triggered walking dead from living dead in the praetorium. however, i died early, when the debuff timer for walking dead was still 8 secs. how come?
i didn't
Some damage/abilities ignore tank immunities, though I can’t remember if any exist in praetorium
After some melding my logs are now properly being quick synthed, ty!
I don't see that can happen
|| in the part where u play with the body of a soldier trying to chase zenos in your own body where do i have to go? since i just got lost and had 15 enemies chase and kill me ||
server tick I mean, since it's triggered by the skill itself
Explore, look in buildings
but im on a timer it's stressful :/
But not aggro 15 guys stressful
You have a LOT of spare time
true i guess
can you craft high end stuff without manipulation?
if you really want to know||there is a circle shaped building on the northeast, southwest of it is the part for the magitek, and nearby of the magitek is the soldier with the key||
all the guide I've seen crafting 3-4 stars stuff have manipulation in it
Anyone know how to help? I can't open FFXIV, it keeps saying "Cannot complete version check"
i have completed the light thing for ARR relic, i show jalzann my weapon but nothing happen
https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher
Try this launcher
SEA people are having problems logging in today, try using VPN
Can party finders be used for alliance raids?
yup
I'll give it a try
yep yep yep
yes but it's going to be hard to find 24 people
So I can basically bring 8 ppl of a whole party with me?
nah
You can form the entire 24 person raid in PF
Ah okay
i dont think it'll let you zone in without 24
Yes
But no going in solo
I only ideally need 8 cuz I wanted to like farm loot and stuff in some of them but I didn’t wanna have to compete against randoms and rng
Cuz the other parties are separated right?
Some bosses split the group into 3
Yeah, you can in theory do that too, but some loot is shared among all parties in an alliance raid

yeah
just queue it normally
Pretty sure if you form a group of 1t/2h/5dps in PF you will be able to queue in and all be in the same group
Those were what I had in mind when I was saying the raid will separate the raid into their respective alliances
i dont think you'll be able to finish nier raids with just 8 people
it's only 10 levels away and it was not an easy raid at level
The three flight units in puppets' bunker, for one
Nah I won’t be doing it as 8 I wanna queue with my premade like with 24 total as randoms for the rest of the group
So me and 7 + 16 others I guess as randoms
yeah, you can even change your current party setting into an alliance
and just invite other 2 parties to form an alliance
Can someone help me with this weeks fashion report? I got all of it equipped and got 91/100 :/ gloves were replica tho, idk if thats takes 9 points away
Ah gotcha
Max MGP is at 80 points, so unless you really need 100 points this week you aren't losing out on anything.
@pearl cliff check fashion report by kaiyoko star on reddit
I don't think replicas matter, do you have something equipped in every visible slot?
For retainers, is there a particular list of the most lucrative ones? Saw the Reddit post about a mount solely from retainers?
there is one every week with all the information you need
I already already checked that
it's on kupo bot, use !fr command in #kupo-bot-spam
Only difference at the 100 points is the replica
Don’t know if that’s the updated one
so dunno how you can miss max score. When I wanted to get mine i unequipped everything except parts mentioned in fr
It worked! Thanks!
Yeah that isn't ever necessary
In fact unequipping stuff can lower your score, so don't do that
Have you dyed all the stuff?
perhaps I'm saying what I needed when I wanted to get mine achi
But if you’re not hitting 100, just dye em
ok but what I'm saying is that's bad advice because it doesn't work like that
fair enough
makes no sense to dye them, when in other weeks it specifies dyes needed for 100 points
for example
Dude
so you should be able to get 100 points if the specification isnt there
Do you have a picture of what you were wearing at the time?
But you aren’t for some reason
Because there could be something missing
So dye something
fashion report investigation
He's not wrong in that he shouldn't have to dye anything
just this all 4 parts of the fashion report are there, given that the gloves are replica
yes, he also mentioned that he was wearing replica of one item I think
he shouldn't but sometimes the report picture is off by a point or two due to not checking for inadvertent dyes
fending is for tanks right? slaying is for melee dps correct me if im wrong
Fending is tanks, slaying is SAM MNK
aiming is for ranged physical
if you're missing a few points just use dyes, it's 1pt for any dye in the same category(so you can use coal black instead of jetblack for 1pt instead of 2)
RPR DRG use maiming (with Slaying accessories), NIN uses scouting (with Aiming accessories)
because jet black dyes are expensive
not all fashion reports are of the same difficulty
Well unfortunately yeah if you wanna do it this week you'll wanna dye stuff
anyway i have 4 attempts right?
you can use normal black dyes for 1pt as I just said, unless you're missing a lot of points
If that's not counting
Which one would you say is the easier of the two to learn now?
the follow-up spells for Confiteor, Blades of Faith/Truth/Valor - how much MP do they restore each?
Normal black/white and raisin brown pants
you can get 4points from random black dyes(any of the black ones) and 2 for the brown raisin dye, that's 6pts
then there's something wrong with the report
Whats the best way to farm allagan tomestone of poetics
PvP
!faq poetics
Roulettes
i got 4 tries right? i can just try getting the non replica gloves, give it a shot
hunt trains and roulettes are good
You work towards poetics, get exp and PvP exclusive rewards.
and then dye again and give it another shot
Multiple birds. One stone
If you're on Twitter, can try asking kaiyoko 🤷
should tell that to kaiyoko though in the reddit thread or on twitter, make sure to post your gear there too
Or check comments tk see if anyone else have said anything about it
has no one here gotten 100 points this week? o.o
Most already have the title
nobody bothers with it after getting it once
So no point going above 80
hey guys, is it possible for me to complete "for want for memory" (shb relic weapon quest) on one weapon and immediately start it again on other weapon so i could still get memories from bozja while i am leveling ?
the number of tries i do dont impact on the score right?
No
Did you have some other gear slot unfilled?
You might have had something not on at the time
🤷
if it's a full step complete yes you can have several in parallel
you just can't have more than one of the same step active at the same time, but once you clear one, you can start another, and you can stagger them like this and have like all 4 or 5 active
yeah i will completely complete step 2 and move to step 3 so i can farm those memories on step 2 and 3 while i level
yeah I farmed a bunch of stuff like that
last step and second to last in DR too or whatever it was
i need like 4 or 5 weapons , so while i level my 5 or 6 jobs in bozja might as well rack up those memories 😄
yeah you can also keep the quest and keep getting memories without turning them in
yeah, i just figured it out, i am on step 2 for my katana and have like 50-40 of memories, i learned that i need other memories for step 3
and it get be gotten from bozja
so ill just stock up on them
but one thing worries me, do i need to do castrum for relic?
because right now its completely dead
no one wants to do it
No, fortunately. Unfortunately, it's the best way to obtain memories for the weapon
