houses are just for decoration

so if you really want

but good luck getting one

[silver ruin]

houses are a crapshow to get rn

apartments are easy to get

[boreal storm]

Don’t

[remote lintel]

also fisher by itself is ehhhhhhh

[tulip flax]

Are they just for fun? Or do they serve a purpose?

[remote lintel]

houses are just for decoration

[silver ruin]

^

[remote lintel]

and you can garden i guess

thats it

[slate arrow]

Personal Houses are strictly for decor

[pure copper]

u can flex on hte poors

[silver ruin]

i mean

[slate arrow]

FC houses have workshops you can send airships and submarines out on like retainers

[silver ruin]

smalls are cheap

[tulip flax]

Alrighty..and what could you pair with fishing?

[silver ruin]

cul

sometimes fish are used in food

[tall mountain]

culinarian is pretty much the only DoH that uses fishing consistently

[remote lintel]

you level all crafters together

[tulip flax]

Can't you just focus on one?

[sacred apex]

I want to use a one handed keyboard and lean a bit away from controller, any suggestions for max comfort Keybindings wise since I’ve never done this before?

[boreal storm]

If you want to be efficient, no

[delicate field]

Are there any ETA on when the game will be purchasable again? weeks? months? years?

[pure copper]

no idea

[tall mountain]

absolutely zero eta

[delicate field]

really they didn't hint at anything?

[craggy tinsel]

though it most likely won't be years lol

[tall mountain]

pretty much everything they've turned off due to congestion we've got zero idea about when they'll return

[tulip flax]

So why do you have to level them all up? Out of curiosity?

[tall mountain]

they can't say anything for certain

[tall mountain]

basically every DoH requires materials only crafted by another for a lot of recipes

[delicate field]

that's true

[fluid oracle]

maybe when they fix the queue times

[remote lintel]

@tulip flax to save inventory space, because they all use materials from each other, because they all share gear

[tulip flax]

Ah I see

[craggy tinsel]

without looking back I assume this topic is regarding crafter leveling.... 1) they share the same gear (apart from tools) and 2) often need materials from each other

[tall mountain]

you can level DoH up individually, but it will mean you will need to source a vast amount of materials from elsewhere

[jade quartz]

Relying on just one crafter isn’t very viable

[steel canopy]

If you can predict human behaviour....

[tall mountain]

(ie. market boards)

[slate arrow]

ARM and BSM use Ingots (Both), GSM, LTM, ALC, and CPR materials

fucking

[tall mountain]

indeed

[slate arrow]

wrong reply

[jade quartz]

And if you want to craft gear sets for example

[tall mountain]

i think he gets the idea anyway

[tulip flax]

That makes sense then

[jade quartz]

It’s not like “armourer makes all tank gear” or anything

[tall mountain]

and yeah, at max level you end up splitting a full set of gear over several jobs

[slate arrow]

sometimes tanking pants comes from weaver

or leatherworker

[jade quartz]

Like in one matching set of gear there could be an armourer shield and chest, weaver pants, leatherworker gloves, goldsmith or carpenter accessories…

[tall mountain]

to make a full set of crafter/gatherer gear at lvl 90 for instance, you need CRP, WVR, and LTW

all of which will require some materials from eachother, as well as ALC

and that's not including tools

[tulip flax]

Maybe I'll stick to combat and fishing for now @_@

[tall mountain]

crafting is certainly an investment of time and effort

[umbral hollow]

is true that summoners are now the easiest job to play even more than dancer?

[slate arrow]

yes

you press candy button, you eat candy, you get stacks, you use stack, eat candy until gone, grab candy and repeat

[outer mural]

subjective but most people would agree that smn is pretty easy given its straight forward structure, lack of ogcds, and majority of free movement as a caster

[queen fern]

Is there a way to check your Gemstones without going to a vendor?

[outer mural]

yes

travel -> shared fates

it will display your number out of the max capacity of 1000

it also displays it in your currency menu too iirc? i may be wrong

[slate arrow]

it doesnt

[tall mountain]

annoyingly, it doesn't

but yeah, you can see it under shared fates as said

[outer mural]

that is annoying, i figured but wasn't sure

[tulip flax]

So free companies are the "guilds" of the game?

[outer mural]

yes

[tulip flax]

Are they worth joining?

[craggy tinsel]

yes

[outer mural]

that's really up to you. it's about the social aspect and minor boosts to gameplay

i would say yes becuase there's no reason not to

[craggy tinsel]

though don't just join a random one, tbh

the few FCs I've joined have been sort of "organic encounters"

introduced to them in some way rather than just "oh they're advertising, sure I'll join them"

[remote lintel]

theyre like guilds in any other game

[craggy tinsel]

helps to have a social group rather than just "ooga booga big number FC population" imo

[remote lintel]

theyre just social

that too

[tulip flax]

So smaller is better usually

[craggy tinsel]

I'd say yes

but ultimately, personal preference

also, hot take, mail counts as valid storage

send someone 5 inventory slots' worth of items, then they mail it back - keep the items in the mail until needed

[clever bough]

Are your HUD Layouts stored anywhere in human readable form so one can see "oh yeah these two items are misaligned by two pixels" or something?

[leaden ginkgo]

I'm in Primal server now, but I'm planning to go to Japan for around a month soon. I imagine that the ping would be pretty high, and how are people dealing with these travelling issues? A month is long, but I think it's not worth changing my datacenter for it.

[remote lintel]

if they were they would be in the ff14 folder in your documents but i dont think it tells you that specifically

[cedar pumice]

does the add phase of the weapon ex trial count towards time to enrage?

[remote lintel]

!faq datacenterip

[zinc orbit]

Datacenter IP Addresses

List of IP Addresses for each Datacenter

North America
Aether: 204.2.229.9
Primal: 204.2.229.10
Crystal: 204.2.229.11

Europe
Chaos: 195.82.50.9
Light: 195.82.50.10

Japan
Mana: 124.150.157.156
Gaia: 124.150.157.157
Elemental: 124.150.157.158

how do I ping the IP?

Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*

[remote lintel]

endgame fights are always timed from the moment you pull

unless they changed it for that fight or something

[cedar pumice]

got it thx

[clever bough]

There is a HOTBAR.dat but the contents are non-human-readable ... and also not limited to english characters ... my god they use japanese signs as identifiers

[dire prawn]

Is there a way to put a marker on the map without having <flag> appear in my chat?

[remote lintel]

yes they are japanese devs

[clever bough]

Yeah I would expect any dev in any language just codes in english for good measure

cause I am german and we freaking beat people on the street if they say "I named my variables after german words" ("Kunde" instead of "Customer") --- it is done so your code is maintainable by every and anyone in the future

[slate arrow]

1: don't beat people

[outer mural]

time to enrage also depends from fight to fight but is generally timed via mechanics instead of an actual set time

[leaden ginkgo]

I think the ping would be around 200-300 in Japan. Would it still be possible to play in dungeons or high end duties without being hit by aoe? Also, are there any services that I could use to decrease the lag?

[outer mural]

so add phase taking the minimum amount of time vs the max amount of time will make no difference when phase 2 reaches enrage

[remote lintel]

did you ping the jp data center? also you could use a vpn

300 is kinda pushing it

[dire prawn]

VPNs might route your traffic better than your ISP would

But if you have 300ms I wouldn't do it

[remote lintel]

i thought fights always operated on time unless EXs are different than savage

[edgy maple]

https://i.imgur.com/4eywjeL.png Why does this have a red X on it in the glamour dresser? I'm both sage and lvl 84

[remote lintel]

are you wearing gloves currently

and are your gloves lvl 81 or higher

[edgy maple]

Yea

Ah, they're 80, is that why?

[twilit arch]

yes

[remote lintel]

yes

[warped nest]

Yeah

[edgy maple]

Ah thank you

[faint flare]

Can't glamour high level stuff on low level gear

[warped nest]

Glamour cannot break equip requirement

[leaden ginkgo]

I live in the east coast, and the ping from here to Japan is 170, so I think it would be around 150-170 when I go to Japan, considering that the primal datacenter is in California. Would it still be possible for me to play savages once they are released?

[remote lintel]

yeah that ping is okay

[warped nest]

So no higher level, different race/gender, or incompatible Jobs

[faint flare]

Yes people raid with that ping

[steel canopy]

I don't think that should stop you.

[faint flare]

Just adjust to your ping and probably avoid double weaving

[viscid lake]

Despite the description, do you only get three Saint convos max? I can't find any more glowing circles.

[leaden ginkgo]

That's great to hear! I have express VPN from my work, and shall I be using it to connect to California as well?

[warped nest]

Even better

[true jolt]

Hmm this is interesting. Say in guides usually there is enrage timer. For boss without add phase like e4s you can easily predict which move on x minute cause its all "scripted"

But for boss with add phase the enrage timer is a bit dynamic, yes? No matter how fast/slow you kill the adds, the boss will still enter p2 and their encounter timer just follow the "script"

So for example 2 separate pull, during first pull to adds to enrage it took 10 min, then during second pull the raid kill adds 10 sec faster does that mean enrage will occur at 9:50 of the fight or still 10 mins?

[warped nest]

9:50

[faint flare]

The enrage timer is a hard end

[remote lintel]

raid timelines are set in stone

[faint flare]

Once it bit that time, it will do the enrage

You see this in e7s

[woeful hill]

is it a good idea to limbo with the tank HP as SCH after lv70+ dungeons?

[faint flare]

It can and will cancel an Aoe cast to enrage

[leaden ginkgo]

Great! One last question, but shall I try avoiding AoEs faster than usual? I try to attack until the last minute now, and I'm not sure if it would be fine with high ping

[remote lintel]

just be safe and move beforehand

[warped nest]

If you are confident, and doing so will means you get to help with damage and making the mob dies faster, sure

[dire prawn]

Answer: you can't DPS if you're dead :D

[faint flare]

In e7, if you killed adds quickly you got another set of AOE blasts...but if you didn't it can and would cancel one mid cast to enrage

It's hard set in stone

[true jolt]

Oh wait so killing adds slower than intended (but still not wipe) will give less time on next phase? Interesting

[remote lintel]

not necessarily

there are dps checks throughout the fights usually

so if you fail you just wipe and start over

[faint flare]

The maximum add kill time is factored in

[warped nest]

Tldr: just perform to the best of your ability

[warped nest]

(regardless, this is still a very good question, I learnt a lot)

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks all for your advice! I will play savages like usual in jobs with slow GCD, and I hope it goes well!

[faint flare]

There's many a clip of e7 cancelling it's cast to enrage

Cause of the add kill speed

[true jolt]

Ahh, so if you do adds fast it'll be a little faster than the guide timeline i assume

The question just spark my curiosity although i'm not HC raider ahahah

[remote lintel]

no the timeline of events doesnt change

if you kill it faster that just means you wait a little longer

[faint flare]

As I said, e7 is the best example of how enrage timer works

If you kill adds super fast, it just does another aoe set

And will enrage when it hits the time

[remote lintel]

like if something happens 7 minutes in, then regardless of whether you kill the adds before then or not, it WILL happen at 7 minutes

[faint flare]

If you take maximum time, that extra set of aoes isn't there as you hit enrage

[true jolt]

Like before hard enrage some bosses will "afk"?

[remote lintel]

no theres enough going on that youre not just standing around for that long

[broken cairn]

Are online store item codes region locked? Or no

[faint flare]

Again, as e7 as the example it did another set of double aoe blasts

[warped nest]

Yes, locked

[faint flare]

If yoy got there "early"

[remote lintel]

@broken cairn i dont think mogstation items are region locked

[warped nest]

Oh, I thought they meant SE store

[outer mural]

it's not directly proportional to time if i recall
add phase in ruby phase 2 can vary in when you finish it and then she proceeds to the rest of her mechanics till enrage in the same timeframe for example

[remote lintel]

maybe its different in EX

[broken cairn]

I did mean mogstation items so that sounds great thanks cerb

[true jolt]

I think i kinda grasped your guys explanation though have hiccups here or there

I only did e7s once so cant really see what you refer to but maybe i can check yt clips. Thanks again gius!

[remote lintel]

usually people arent killing stuff so fast that you just stand there

unless youre doing it unsync

[warped nest]

Mogstation items doesn't have the concept of region

It is global

[true jolt]

Only warning about mog code, it can expire iirc

6 months? I think

[steel aspen]

when does EW housing open up again? and will i be able to purchase it if i'm still behind in MSQ?

[errant mesa]

EW housing is Ishgard, so as long as you're there you should be fine

[tall mountain]

we've no clue when it'll open again, as to whether or not you can purchase it—so long as you've the gil and access to the district, you can purchase away

[steel aspen]

awesome, i'm still fairly new but i'm mid HW so i should be okay

[twilit arch]

ishgard housing is coming with 6.1

[errant mesa]

I would say finishing HW would probably be the minimum

[steel aspen]

alright! thanks y'all

[faint flare]

The quest for the ishgard housing is already in the game

[tall mountain]

yeah the new houses will become available with 6.1, but existing houses won't be automatically relinquished until some unknownable time in the future

[steel aspen]

the housing system will be different, right? lotteries? will the prices still be the same?

[errant mesa]

It's going to be a lottery system anyway that you put a down payment on

[faint flare]

Yes

[tall mountain]

correct

[errant mesa]

So prep your offerings to Rngesus

[steel aspen]

[ripe hound]

Did they say if an FC can have multiple people each doing an entry for the FC?

[leaden ginkgo]

so if we're playing the free trial we can't wait in que anymore?

[outer mural]

one fc per entry

so you can't have like 9 people double dip

[regal pawn]

Never could afaik

[tall mountain]

'tis how it's always been

if there is a queue due to extreme population, you cannot join it

[ripe hound]

I see, is it impossible to transfer a player house into FC house?

[tall mountain]

it is indeed impossible

[ripe hound]

Cool

[tall mountain]

what a house is bought as, is how it will stay

[leaden ginkgo]

oh so it's an extreme population thing ig

[tall mountain]

it is

[ripe hound]

So like if I have a house and I create a new FC, I can’t use my house as the new FC house right?

[tall mountain]

correct

[ripe hound]

Cool

[tall mountain]

you will have to buy a new house, as an FC house

[ripe hound]

Great

[craggy wren]

is it possible to get all the aether currents on a map as soon as you get there?

or do you have to finish the msq

[tall mountain]

for the most part, MSQ

you can get the majority of them straight away but there'll always be one or two requiring the MSQ

either due to areas not accessible before a certain point, aether current quests that don't appear before a certain point, or because MSQ quests reward them directly

some areas will restrict you until later rather than sooner

[ripe hound]

In EW I know it’s only 1 locked behind MSQ in each region

[tall mountain]

indeed, but certain zones (like zone 1) have that quest very late

[ripe hound]

That 1 Aether current given by MSQ is usually the final “closure” for the region

It usually means “it’s a good time now to go fuck around and collect all the remaining Aether currents”

[true jolt]

mostly like this:
there are 5 aether current that you need to interact on every map
4 aether current locked behind side quest (blue + marker)
1 aether current locked behind MSQ (given when you "complete" the zone MSQ)

exception is EW area where there is 10 current on map, and last area of HW where all aether current is given via MSQ

so mostly you are forced to walk until clear MSQ at that area

[narrow jay]

It depends on the zone. One or two zones in pretty much all expansions so far have been split in half depending on your MSQ progress, so for those, you have to wait until you unlock that half of the map to collect all explorable currents.

[hallow grove]

if you're paying for retainers, etc in your sub, do those get waived off too with that thing they're doing?

[twilit arch]

yes, those get extended too

[tall mountain]

if you've got any questions about the compensation, always refer to the announcement(s) about it
https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/c9d2ff442cf48da108fdbf280bf852d27322514c

should answer everything you want to know

[pallid gull]

Any chocobo breeders out there?

I am wondering how good I should be looking for my first covering permission from the gold saucer for GP

The 1 I started with is of course this 1:

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there anything story related in the credits of ARR?

So i shoudn't skip

[faint flare]

Credits are safe to skip

[craggy tinsel]

once the voice acting in the credits goes away (i.e. they're done VA-naming for the core characters) you're good

[jade quartz]

you can skip after the cutscenes end and it will bring you straight to the next cutscene after the credits if there is one

ARR Credits are many hours long so yeah, don't sit through them all lol

[naive ridge]

is ocean fishing good for levelling fishing 80-90? does the exp scale?

[jade quartz]

Yes it's great

[naive ridge]

thanks

[jade quartz]

scales up same as usual

[tawdry yacht]

hi with the exp change is still ok to lvl from 50 to 60 on dungeons or the exp change make it not worth the time

[jade quartz]

same as ever

[faint flare]

Nothing changed with xp, only 81+ changed

[tawdry yacht]

oh good gota lvl tanks then 👍

[empty hamlet]

can EW raids appear in normal raid roulette (all 4 done already)

[boreal storm]

Yeah

[empty hamlet]

ah cool

[pallid gull]

No 1 Familiar with Chocobo breeding?
Still looking for an answer to my question if anyone has done breeding before. If I have 2 parents with 2 ⭐ , 1 with 3⭐ , and 1 with 1⭐ - does it avverage out to 2 stars?
#questions-and-help message

[pure copper]

can someone explain what these 3 icons mean on gear when they light up? the rightmost is armoire, but what are the other 2?

[faint flare]

FC crest, glamour dresser and Armourie

[jade quartz]

Err well you can't breed three parents together.

[errant mesa]

It uses the grandparents

[jade quartz]

are you talking about grandparents (parentage stats)?

[covert junco]

Is there a place to help with hunts in this discord ?

[wanton marsh]

so my sound abruptly cut out in game, but it still works on my PC

[jade quartz]

OK so

[wanton marsh]

anyone know what i can do other than get thrown back into queue?

[jade quartz]

if for example we were to take the speed stat

[pallid gull]

ya I guess this is my first G1 chocobo so the grandparents are in theory I guess

[errant mesa]

Don't worry about stars until you're ready to breed a perfect

[jade quartz]

Let's say the father chocobo has a 1star and a 2star as its parentage stats,
and the mother chocobo has a 3star and a 4star

The child will inherit one of those star ratings from each parent as its own parentage stats.

So they might get a 1star and a 3star on its parentage sheet.

Then when you register the bird, one of those two is randomly chosen to be the stat that is actually expressed by that bird

so you might end up with a bird with 3star speed

But carrying both 1star and 3star as its parentage stats which might be passed on next time.

[jade quartz]

Basically the star ratings on the parentage chart are the genes your bird is carrying

[errant mesa]

Their stat totals are based on parents, not one specific

[jade quartz]

and can pass on

[cosmic pilot]

Is this good enough?

[errant mesa]

For what

[pallid gull]

cool. ok Well my first covering will be done at in about 20 mins - here is hoping for a good one - pretty cool mini game

[cosmic pilot]

Gathering

[jade quartz]

I wouldn't worry about your bird's stats until like pedigree 5 or above

[errant mesa]

I wouldn't worry about breeding stars until g7

[pallid gull]

kk

[errant mesa]

That's when it becomes prohibitively difficult to win without good stats and genes

This includes feed as well

[pallid gull]

Cool

I have been just using grade 1 food

trying to burn gil on free trial

lol

[errant mesa]

Ah lol

[jade quartz]

that's a good idea at low rank

[errant mesa]

You'll know when it becomes an issue but you got time. Remember that what tier your bird is in is not based on current stats, but max

[jade quartz]

though tbh at grade 1 you don't need to feed at all

Tier?

[errant mesa]

R40, R80, etc

[jade quartz]

If you mean race class, that is based on your current stats.

[errant mesa]

It is not

[jade quartz]

Not max.

It most certainly is

[errant mesa]

It is based on your maxed stats

[jade quartz]

That is not true

[errant mesa]

It doesn't mean you have max stats

[jade quartz]

It's demonstrably not true because your bird will move up in the race classes as they level

[errant mesa]

So g1 or g2 feed will not cut it later on

[pallid gull]

I mean my max stats for my first bird were 100 - but I advanced from beginner to R40 then R60 before retiring him so I think Lyon is right

TY for all the other info though

really appreciate it guys!

[errant mesa]

This is the real reason I'm writting up this guide. There is an incorrect formula floating around the internet about how rating is the average of all stats. This is very incorrect. The correct formula is long, involves a lot of ugly decimals and such. This is the simplier version formula though.

(Combined Max Stats/500) x (Rank+10) = Rating

Using the correct formula, we can see that ONLY Rank and Pedigree determines your Rating. Feeding your chocobo does not affect your Rating at all, meaning that all stats gained through feeding are purely bonus and put you above your opponents. Just another reason to feed, eh.

[jade quartz]

https://ffxivchocoboracing.wordpress.com/ check out this guide if you wanna deepdive

[errant mesa]

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/2xib1j/guide_chocobo_racing_203_rankrating/

[jade quartz]

ok I see what you mean

[errant mesa]

So the better your chocobo's genes, the faster it'll scale you into higher Rating brackets, which makes it harder much faster than the early days

[jade quartz]

yeah

[craggy tinsel]

this embed text is just "don't talk to me or my son or my son's son ever again"

[errant mesa]

I know because I'm suffering in the 20s and 30s on my G8 chocobo

Like r140 ;_;

[pallid gull]

damn G8 lol

[errant mesa]

Yeah it's rough, and I've been using g2 lol

[jade quartz]

With how easy MGP is to come by now there's no reason not to use grade 3 feed at higher ranks really

When chocobo racing was first introduced, it was much much harder to get MGP

[pure copper]

i heard u can get 90k MGP a week if u finish your challenge log?

[errant mesa]

Definitely, and I'm going to do that once I buy this Cloud Strife card. But even G3 feed should be held off until you max out your perfect chocobo

You can get 100k+ easily

[chilly briar]

Hey anyone know fastest Zeta light farm for ARR relic weapons?

[errant mesa]

Just depends on your effort

[pure copper]

i should really enter the golden saucer

[errant mesa]

Biggest chunk of MGP is through the fashion contest

[pure copper]

im starting stormblood and still havent done the entry quest

[errant mesa]

Challenge log is another good source, as are chocobo and verminion challenges

[chilly briar]

And mini cactpot every day

[errant mesa]

That too

[chilly briar]

could be 30k a dayu

[errant mesa]

Jumbo never pans out for me but mini is good

[jade quartz]

I would not hold out on G3 feed past like grade 7

[errant mesa]

Grinding Triple Triad will also get you quite a bit. Sold like 25k mgp in excess cards a few days ago

[broken cairn]

Iirc its tam tara

[chilly briar]

Still?

[broken cairn]

Yes

[jade quartz]

it will make it much easier to win and therefore accelerate your choco leveling process

[chilly briar]

ty

[broken cairn]

If you get bonus syrcus its roughly as efficient

[errant mesa]

Yeah I have to refresh my memory on the feeding thing, since as I recall it automatically reallocates the capped skill points

[jade quartz]

Feeding increases that stat by G% of that stat's cap

so for example at Pedigree 9 with max stars in a stat, grade 3 feed will give 15 points in that stat

grade 1 feed is 1%, G2 2%, G3 3%

[errant mesa]

Right, but leveling up randomly allocates skill points too, so it was whether or not that was kept or not was what I couldn't remember

Fuck it let's lose some chocobo races for the challenge log

[jade quartz]

Leveling up randomly grants five 1% stat increases

[dusty jungle]

racing is pretty fun. queuing for the races isnt

[jade quartz]

these can be given to all different stats, all the same stats, or a varying spread

[errant mesa]

Why not the queueing part?

[jade quartz]

queueing takes about 30s

[errant mesa]

Right, aware that it's random, but if I have a maxed stat, is the bonus kept?

[jade quartz]

if a stat is maxed it will not be selected for rankup

[dusty jungle]

ooo I like the sound of that

[jade quartz]

you can't lose/overcap stats that way

[errant mesa]

Ah great

Guess I will use g3 from the outset then

[cyan tartan]

hey guys, i have a question: If i am joining endwalker now... and i am actually working in the heavensward MSQ... Can I start unlocking SAGE if i just buy a lv 70 token?
Or do i have to get to a certain part of MSQ to unlock the quest?

[obsidian patio]

No story needed for sage

[cyan tartan]

just need lv 70 eh?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[primal relic]

Are SB extreme trial solo-able?

[faint flare]

Some, but that's with 20-25% echo

So not super worth if mount farming

[primal relic]

Assuming lv90? And which class? What do you mean by echo 20-25%?

[faint flare]

Warrior

You get stronger echo buff when you wipe after 3mins

[primal relic]

So I have to wipe 5x? Could WAR solo all HW Extreme too?

[faint flare]

Yes, warrior is the best at solo

[narrow jay]

I'm ... pretty sure if you're doing them unsynced then you just get the Epic Echo and that's that.

[faint flare]

Sephriot still ass with its Debuff

[narrow jay]

Do they give you another Echo buff on top of that?

[faint flare]

Yes

The standard normal echo

[primal relic]

I get 100% and a 5%

[narrow jay]

squint

[primal relic]

Get*

[faint flare]

Any old, higher end content gives echo if you die after 3mins to assist helping clead

[leaden ginkgo]

so when i try to login it says the world is full and my client closes. is there a way to pick a different world and check the population first

[faint flare]

Which scales as you continue to wipe

[primal relic]

I’m reading this guide on HW solo, but it’s saying only PLD can solo. Since boss be dishing out too much dmg. For like Seph, Nidg, and Zurvan.

[jade quartz]

how old is this guide

[errant mesa]

@jade quartz How do I train my chocobo for these painful last 11 levels

[faint flare]

That was before warrior got Nascent in Shadowbringers and now Raw/Bloodwhetting in endwalker

[primal relic]

Idk I just google > .>

1yr ago

[jade quartz]

yeah nah

[faint flare]

Warrior trashes pld in self sustain

[jade quartz]

don't trust that

1 year ago we were level 80 and had no bloodwhetting

[primal relic]

Lol

[twilit arch]

i can safely say i solo'd zurvan as a smn

[faint flare]

Even then war was better with Nasceny

[jade quartz]

yeah

sounds like a terrible guide

[faint flare]

Clemency is just that bad

[primal relic]

How do you use Nascent flash? I tried using ot but wouldn’t let me.

[faint flare]

Nascent walks L over it

[errant mesa]

Except when you need clemency

[faint flare]

You use raw intuition

Or its upgraded version of Bloodwhetting

Nascent is party version of Bloodwhetting

[maiden breach]

are the gemstone orchestrion rolls from share fates tradeable?

[errant mesa]

Pretty sure

You could also just look

[primal relic]

I haven’t lvl my WAR yet, since I been debating between PLD and WAR for soloing. And this list https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/gkhpp2/are_extreme_trials_from_hw_solo_able/

[maiden breach]

i tried looking for the orchestrion roll from ultima thule at the marketboard, but it didn:t show up, so i was wondering.

[primal relic]

But thanks, I’ll invest into my WAR next then.

[boreal storm]

They aren’t tradable

[maiden breach]

i see. guess i'll start grinding those fates. thanks!

[rancid ibex]

If HW EXes were soloable during ShB, what is the likelihood we'll see people soloing SB EXes at some point during this patch?

[errant mesa]

Not as likely as you think I assume

[bitter bronze]

speaking of SB, i didn't get an answer last time i asked -
how many people are needed for the omega raids unsynced now?

[faint flare]

Byakko and shinyru have been soloed with 20-25% echo

do people still look for groups for older content like bahamut raids?

like whether on discord or in-game party finders, or duty roulette

[unborn geode]

How can I get my ilvl to raid ready 565 without poetics?

[smoky glade]

EW MSQ Spoilers, but can anyone tell me what the music is when ||Urianger is hugged by Moenbryda's parents?||

[forest sage]

poetics aren't for current content anyway. You either need aphorism tomes, or Extreme trial gear

[boreal storm]

EXs or moonward gear

[slate arrow]

you use the 90 tomestone

[unborn geode]

Sorry without tomestones. I'm capped

[forest sage]

then use them?

[unborn geode]

I did

[forest sage]

then get more and use these?

[boreal storm]

Then you aren’t capped, get more

[unborn geode]

I'm out

There's no gear drops

[forest sage]

just run 90 dungeons or hunt trains to get more

[unborn geode]

That's the only choice

So it's not just roulette rewards

[boreal storm]

Roulettes give them if you queue with a 90 job

[unborn geode]

Did all my roulettes today

[forest sage]

roulettes give some as a daily bonus, but the 90 dungeons themselves give tomes too

[true jolt]

every lvl90 dungeon run give 80 tomestone even wtihout roullete bonus

[unborn geode]

Thank you

[slate arrow]

Then you spam the 90 dungeons

[unborn geode]

Perfecto

Thanks

[odd knot]

for ninja, do you want critical hit, dertermination, or direct hit rate?

[hallow wolf]

For rdm, do I alternate between aero and thunder II’s for aoes, or do I use Scatter after just one while alternating which is hard casted?

I’d imagine the latter?

[odd knot]

yeah scatter insta cast, aero and thunder 2 hard cast

later scatter evolves into impact

[boreal storm]

Short into long as usual

[hallow wolf]

Still just trying to figure out the controller bindings for it, haha.

is this the correct game?

like if I buy this will I get full access to the game and be aple to play with everyone? or will it only be with other people who have bought this same steam key

[hard aurora]

@leaden ginkgo take it from common sense - do not buy it from a reseller now or in the future

[slate arrow]

Universal cross play however that is for Standalone

[hard aurora]

currently no more copies are being sold due to server congestion

[leaden ginkgo]

why tho

[slate arrow]

Newegg is an official vendor as far as I'm aware

[hard aurora]

its also not guarenteed that what youre getting is an actual key

oh, is it?

[leaden ginkgo]

I know that's why i'm looking for alternatives

[slate arrow]

It's universal cross play but that key is for Standalone

[hard aurora]

aight yea if newegg is official, thats better

[leaden ginkgo]

i've boughten multiple steam keys before, all legit

[slate arrow]

You can only obtain a steam key from steam

Anywhere else is a standalone key you simply enter into mogstation

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.

[dense pier]

Steam doesn't have as many sales as SquareEnix does though

[leaden ginkgo]

what does this mean

look i've never bought a steam key for a mulitplayer game before

[slate arrow]

You don't register the code into your steam library, you register the code into your FFXIV account

Which is on an entirely different system from steam

Update your gearset

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you, it worked

[urban grotto]

where do I talk to the delivery moogle?

[boreal storm]

Any main city

[slate arrow]

settlements, almost every zone has one

[leaden ginkgo]

Each starting city has one, in gridania it’s on the opposite side of the mih khetto amphitheater

[hallow wolf]

When do I use Reprise over the main combo for RDM?

[slate arrow]

ideally, you don't

it's for when you have to do extended movement

[hallow wolf]

Like attacking while strafing?

Not sure what that means haha

[slate arrow]

basically

If it's something a dual > Swift > acceleration > acceleration can't take care of then you start spamming reprise

It's a DPS loss because it consumes both mana you could be using for The RDM Combo but it's not horrible

Better than 0 DPS

[hallow wolf]

I’d have imagine the 5 gauge cost would’ve mess up the flow or something

[warped nest]

It is for very niche situations

Where you are forced to move due to mechanics

And you ran out of dualcast, swift cast, acceleration

[slate arrow]

You're still guaranteed to line up on the 2m raid buff window anyways with the manaification changes

[warped nest]

And isn't in your melee phase (can move around the boss) or have resources to do melee but the boss won't let you get close

Then in these very unfortunate circumstances where everything is stacked against you, you can now reprise

Because it beats doing nothing

[hallow wolf]

Alrighty, thanks y’all

[urban grotto]

why can't I change classes? It says I have insufficient armory space?

[warped nest]

Do lvl 10 class quest

[slate arrow]

one of your armoury chests is full

[warped nest]

Oh, nvm

That

When you swap jobs, the game undress you and put your gears into the armory chest

[narrow jay]

The system has to unequip gear before putting gear from another set on, so if any of the sections of your armory chest are 100% full, you can't change classes.

[true jolt]

Since EW , RDM usage for moulinet is 3x moulinet to finisher or bust right?

Sliping random moulinet is major dps loss now?

[warped nest]

Then they equip you with the gear in your gearset

Yes, Lex

[boreal storm]

Don’t let your inventory get stuffed, clean regularly

[warm snow]

It was always a major dps loss

[urban grotto]

i understand, thanks

[warped nest]

Once moulinet starts giving you mana stack

You stop doing random moulinet

[true jolt]

Its going to be hard dropping this habbit :')

[dire prawn]

what is random moulinet

[forest sage]

don't the mana stacks stay for a while?

[plain python]

is Monk's Blitz combo about building two charka stacks, then fill in three different middle symbols to unleash Tornado Kick?

[forest sage]

I guess random moulinet is do aoe spell rotation, and whenever you hit the mana amount, do a moulinet to dump as a weave

or kind of a weave? forgot if it's oGCD

[dire prawn]

No Moulinet is GCD

[forest sage]

but since moulinet build the finisher combo now you'd want to stack them

[warped nest]

@plain python no

Please take note that the Chakra you spend on enlightenment are separate from the beast Chakra mentioned in masterful blitz

[forest sage]

the last PB can be any chakra, not 3 different specifically, so generaly it's better to do 111, either dk bootshine alternates, or just dragon kick spam cause it's somehow higher DPS in some conditions iirc?

[warped nest]

But if you are thinking the black and white thingy, then yes

[plain python]

yeah I mean beast Charka

[warped nest]

Dragon kick is 320

Bootshine with leaden fist given from dragon kick is 310, but bootshine has guranteed crit

[rich heron]

Spoiler for final area in endwalker below-
||Where is the gemstone trader at in Ultima Thule? I just got to the second aetherite.||

Of course it is

[clever roost]

anyone know how long it takes ff14 support to reverse a suspension?

[dire prawn]

Forever

[warped nest]

Only way for triple dragon kick to beat dk BS dk would be one of the triple dk crit, but even then it is a crit 320 vs crit 310

[warped nest]

Hmm

I think they are just counting on dragon kick to crit

And make up for not doing bootshine

Maybe

[forest sage]

oh nvm it's just a split icon

[urban grotto]

can I trade in poetics for reaper gear at level 70?

[forest sage]

it looks like DK icon

[hardy tundra]

when doing palace of the dead for the glowing weapon, can you only get the weapon you did it with?

[forest sage]

but it's both bootshine/dk icon, makes sense

[cloud horizon]

anyone know anything about eureka

[urban grotto]

is there poetics reaper gear available at level 70?

[boreal storm]

Have you beat SB?

[forest sage]

I was wondering why they did 3DKs and remembered they talked about it being more dmg if you crit DK but still thought it was weird

[cloud horizon]

If so, if you fail louhi do you have to wait the entire cooldown timer again?

[forest sage]

yes

[mild mountain]

Question, is sirensong sea duty scary? Im kinda scaredy cat and home alone so im deciding if i should go or not

[forest sage]

yeah poetics rpr gear is available in kugane/rhalgr's reach as normal

[cloud horizon]

sorry is that yes to me

[urban grotto]

ok, thanks

[warped nest]

@forest sage ahhh

[forest sage]

yes, once it's dead/failed, you have to wait cd

[warped nest]

So if you have leaden fist, then bootshine here

[cloud horizon]

ah okay thanks

ty

[hallow wolf]

So when your RDM gauge’s crystal is black or white, does that affect gauge production of the smaller one? And what of red crystal?

Tutorial said it gets hard to raise the lower but not sure if it meant literally

[hard aurora]

red = ur doing it right
black / white = youre doing it wrongish

the tutorial is correct

[hallow wolf]

So there’s no auxillery punishment/buff for it?

[dense pier]

@hallow wolf
So, as you use your abilities they gain 100% mana (whatever the tooltip says)

If your mana becomes too imbalanced (IE 50 black, 0 white) then you get punished with your white mana drastically reduced in gain making it even harder to regenerate

[hard aurora]

its simply harder to get the other element up

yea

[dense pier]

Don't ever let your mana become too imbalanced. Ideal play is keeping them within ~10 of each other

[hallow wolf]

So it does alter production?

[dense pier]

Yes

It alters the production of the least amount of mana

[hallow wolf]

Alrighty thought so

Does red balance do anything aside for being a queue to melee combo?

[dense pier]

So, when you have the minimum amount of mana needed for the melee combo

it'll highlight

and that's it

It is basically telling you that you're ready

[hallow wolf]

Okie thanks

[dense pier]

Certain abilities transform depending on your current amount of mana though

They become enchanted

and consume mana to do more damage

[hallow wolf]

Was doing lower level dungeons with only access to one melee attack so wasn’t sure if I was supposed to do more haha

[nocturne hinge]

what number should you aim for? iirc it changed

[dense pier]

Lower levels suck-ass for RDM if I remember correctly

[dense pier]

50/50 is the combo I think, no?

It tells you as soon as you're ready

[hallow wolf]

Yep, went from 80 to 50 for the full combo

[nocturne hinge]

ah

i need to pick my rdm back up

[hallow wolf]

20+15+15

[nocturne hinge]

sword go brr

[gray crescent]

can i use 2 rings from pandemonium relic?

[hallow wolf]

So generally, I never wanna go for a full 3x melee combo right, since I potentially waste gauge?

That is, the 100 + 50 Manafication 3x combo

[boreal storm]

No, they’re unique

[gray crescent]

ok thanks

[dense pier]

I can't say for certain, but you do have embolden which increases your damage output for 20sec

and your combo does a lot of damage, but it's also a very long combo later on

Later on your melee combo extends by 2 more spells

[hallow wolf]

Hmm

[nocturne hinge]

i think people usually go for a double

50 mana combo + manafication

[dense pier]

So you have 3 melee, then an explosion, and then finally and even BIGGER explosion

So it becomes a 5 spell combo

[true jolt]

*6

[dense pier]

There's another one later too?

[hollow turret]

is it faster to level in bozja or zadnor at 80

[dense pier]

or did I miscount

[hallow wolf]

Melee into Flare/holy and Scorch into Resolution?

[true jolt]

You got your finisher of finisher finisher at lvl90

[dense pier]

hahahahaha

Finisher into finisher into finisher

6 combo chain

[dusty jungle]

fake ending into ending into nah for real this is the end

[dense pier]

Is the 6th one even more dramatic than the 5th explosion?

[true jolt]

Rdm finisher be like: this is not even my final form

[true jolt]

Tbh i fucking like it. Its straight line nuke using your rapier

[hallow wolf]

It’s a long piercing line iirc

'How do I unlock Hunts?'

ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest 'Let the Hunt Begin' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests 'Shadows Uncast' and 'Gilding the Bilious'. This must be done to unlock HW Hunts.

HW Hunts: Go to Ishgard - Foundation at x13, y11.9 and complete the quest 'Let the Clan Hunt Begin' from Aytienne. Followup quests are 'Better Bill Hunting' from Eustacia, 'Top Marks' from Yloise in Idyllshire, and 'Elite and Dangerous' from Ardolain. This must be done to unlock SB/SHB Hunts.

SB Hunts: Go to Kugane at x10.4, y10.3 and complete all quests with 'Veteran Clan Hunt' from Estrild.

SHB Hunts: Go to The Crystarium at x12.2, 15.1 and complete the quest 'Nuts to You' from the Hume Lout. Afterwards complete all quests from Halldor at x9.5, y9.4.

Weird thing - my trust members went straight to 81 and skipped level 80, is that intended?

[forest sage]

seems it's how it is yeah

once you start EW they gain one level, so they can do dungeons there right away I'd assume, instead of having to grind the 79 dungeon

yep it was only 1 run of 79 after having to run all of the others twice

[sick iron]

Just started playing and am an Arcanist, does my carbuncle attack on its own?

[dense hound]

It used to, but not anymore

it's now more of an ornament? Looks cute, doesn't do much outside of specific skills

[keen current]

No, you cause it to attack through special actions that temporarily change it into something else and make that thing unleash a skill

[sick iron]

Thanks. Was looking at a guide that said I should be getting dot spells, and didn't see those. So was wondering

[boreal storm]

Old guide

[dense hound]

That's an old guide, and is now completely wrong unfortunately

[keen current]

The beginning actions you get are called Summon Ruby/Topaz/Emerald

[true jolt]

Arcanist (and SMN) are Revamped with 6.0

[remote lintel]

any guide older than dec 3 is outdated

[keen current]

Yeah they completely reworked Arcanist, it's now a 'summon stuff' class instead of a DoT class

[sick iron]

Ah well, still plan on trying it out. Thanks everyone!

[boreal storm]

For any job, pretty much

[keen current]

It's a very cool class after the rework, and you get its core stuff very early on!

[sick iron]

Sweet!

It was this or a BLM, but I figured a pet class would make soloing stuff easier

[keen current]

You get a shield thing, and a healing spell

[slate arrow]

the pet thing is a relic of the past now

[keen current]

The pet doesn't draw aggro though

[slate arrow]

Can't even use it to tank

[keen current]

it's basically cosmetic

hunt trains, weapon > chest/legs > everything else

[boreal storm]

Accessories are cheaper

But weapons matter more

[keen current]

I want to raid asap and haven't cleared either EX

[remote lintel]

the weapon is +2 compared to the job gear

[keen current]

Weapon 1st, got it

[leaden ginkgo]

So I’m new to Astro. How do you know what card you’re about to use. Or do you just have to learn on your on then remember them by muscle memory

[steel aspen]

how many houses lotteries will you be able to enter when the new housing area opens?

[remote lintel]

purple border = ranged, blue border = melee @leaden ginkgo

[boreal storm]

1

[rich gazelle]

When was ||Sicard|| first introduced?

Was it part of job quest

[remote lintel]

no hes in msq

like....5.4??

or 5.5 i dont remember

[boreal storm]

Gun duel

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you

[rich gazelle]

Hmmm what was it about? I don't remember haha

[remote lintel]

||the kobolds were getting crystals from sicard and his crew to summon titan and then you and merlwyb stop them||

[rich gazelle]

I thought he's part of rogue quest line

[remote lintel]

no he's part of the whole deal with merlwyb

[rich gazelle]

Ooh ok. Thanks

[remote lintel]

||he tried to duel merlwyb and lost and then the captain shot the gun out of his hand||

[meager ginkgo]

anyone know where to get low-level materia? i need to meld something for a BSM quest but it's not letting me meld anything to the weapon

[boreal storm]

Market board

[rich gazelle]

Ooh i remember that scene. I really misremembered, i thought that's part of rogue questline cause I've just started leveling rogue around that patch so my memory got mixed up.

Thanks!

[meager ginkgo]

im on free trial, can't do that

[robust crow]

look at your gear

[boreal storm]

Then just spiritbond

[robust crow]

do you have anything 100% spirit bond

if yes, then just extract

boom, low level materia

[meager ginkgo]

yeah i've done that, but it still won't let me

[robust crow]

does the gear you want to meld have meld slots

[meager ginkgo]

that would explain it

lmao

[latent nest]

what materia do i mainly use for GB?

[hard quail]

The ShB Relics, are they timegated (The Resistance weapons)? I'm reading a guide and it doesn't "seem" so but I thought they were tied to a weekly loot.

[remote lintel]

no theyre not

[wheat gale]

anyone know what's the best trusts to run with if I'm doing big pulls in level 81~90 dungeons?

[dire prawn]

@jade quartz I has lore question

[hard quail]

Are you able to buy EW/Re-sub if you had an account prior to the freeze? I can't find the exact rules for the pause anymore.

[steep egret]

if you own the base game, then yes

[outer lodge]

I'm new to sage its only 71 but does sage have a spell like scholar's deployment tactics? to spread the big shields?

[hard quail]

Yea, friend owned up to Stormblood. Awesome.

[hot eagle]

yes they only stopped the selling of starter/complete and new trial accounts

[steep egret]

you just can't buy the complete edition or starter edition anymore

[remote lintel]

just ask and spoiler it

[full leaf]

How do I level past 80? I've done the level 80 Range Quest and Shadowbringers Quest already too. Kinda lost! x-x

[dire prawn]

Oh it's just about the boss enemy in the 20 LNC quest

[remote lintel]

@outer lodge no they have eukrasian prognosis

[dire prawn]

Do you have EW dungeons

[slate arrow]

any of them, just use Warrior

[forest sage]

no they do not, they can Zoe+eukrasian prognosis though

[remote lintel]

and panhaima

[full leaf]

Nope! I'm in contant 5.3-ish I think. My Warrior is 87, but I totally forgot there were steps to get exp to go into level 81?

[outer lodge]

that's not as good as DT/recitation is it?

[dire prawn]

Do you have

Bozja/Zadnor?

[outer lodge]

cause getting those full HP shields spread to all is

[remote lintel]

you spam mt gulg or do bozja

[full leaf]

Maybe this will help explain my situation? It has a cancel icon.

[boreal storm]

You didn’t register EndWalker

[pure pecan]

can someone send the alt class leveling guide?

[dire prawn]

!faq altlevelingguide

[remote lintel]

recitation doesnt spread shield

[dire prawn]

Leveling Guide for alt jobs

https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/wiki/leveling

[dire prawn]

Oh

[pure pecan]

thanks

[outer lodge]

no it makes adlo super strong then deployment tactics spreads it aka DT

[remote lintel]

recitation doesnt apply the shield it just heals?

[forest sage]

recitation is crit

[remote lintel]

unless the tooltip doesnt mention it

[forest sage]

crit is more healing

[outer lodge]

yeah

[forest sage]

more healing is more shield, then more spread

[outer lodge]

it crits adlo

[dire prawn]

Is there any lore about the || Lord of the Bramble Patch || from the 20 LNC quest?

[outer lodge]

adlo gets cata and galv and big stronk shield

[remote lintel]

the tooltip is just vague then

[forest sage]

?

crits heal for more than non crits

[remote lintel]

but adlo is 125% and eukrasian prognosis is 230%

[jade quartz]

!faq earlyaccess

[remote lintel]

i read it to mean that it converts the shield to a heal instead

[zinc orbit]

TL;DR Early Access has expired, remember to add the FULL EXPANSION CODE to your account.

[west parrot]

||Is there a way to return to Sharlayan from Yedlimad?||

[tacit venture]

I'm hoping to have some help on this issue that's been bothering me since the end of shdaowbringer, and endwalker, (It's NEVER Happened in stormblood.)

[remote lintel]

teleport back?

[dire prawn]

It's called Teleport like you've been doing for over 80 levels

[jade quartz]

Isn’t he just a big boar?

Nothing special

[dire prawn]

He's a very big boar

[forest sage]

adlo spread is 300potency heal giving a 180% shield so 300*1.8=540shield then spread it, Zoe+eukrasian prognosis is a 100heal multiplied by 50% so 150, giving a 320% shield so 480potency shield

[remote lintel]

just ask

[forest sage]

that's without critting adlo

[dire prawn]

I'm asking if there's any lore on him or if he just exists and there's nothing on him

[tacit venture]

whenever I use the Middle xBox Button on my controller on PC, it does weird shit likke zoom in in or what not, but worst of it, it UNSELECTS the target I'm fighting

and I use that middle button as a skill key so it's very important that I have it used

and so that it doesn't de-select

it's never done that before

[full leaf]

Thanks for the help!

[remote lintel]

where did you get 180

[tacit venture]

I've changed my rewasd settings, removed everything related to it ingame

I don't know why the middle xBox button sems to untarget

[patent citrus]

middle xbox button? 🤔

[forest sage]

from ingame tooltips?

[tacit venture]

when it's never done it before

[dire prawn]

You mean the button in the dead center that takes you back to your Xbox home page?

[tacit venture]

yeah

I turned off the homepage function

[dire prawn]

[forest sage]

you're low lvl

[tacit venture]

I'm using it exclusively as an extra button

and it's always worked for me since heavensward

[dire prawn]

I use a DS4 controller so

[forest sage]

!action Adloquium

[zinc orbit]

[tacit venture]

with absolutely no issue

I use rewasd

[forest sage]

85 boosts all healing potencies

[remote lintel]

ughghhgu they changed so much stuff

[tacit venture]

and I took off the rewasd settings and it still seems to untarget

[maiden copper]

is there a map or anything that helps with finding hunt bills?

[remote lintel]

@maiden copper xiv hunt website

[maiden copper]

ty

[patent citrus]

wait you need help finding hunt bills? thought the bills show the location

do I remember it wrong?

[forest sage]

they do kinda

[remote lintel]

@tacit venture did you calibrate the controller in system settings

[forest sage]

they show the region, but sometimes it's a large region

[patent citrus]

last time I did it, It was quite straight forward, I didn't need any extra help

[forest sage]

so you still have to fly about

[remote lintel]

@patent citrus they show the zone its in

like upper la noscea

[tacit venture]

the calibrate int he controll setting doesn't have the middle xbox button shown

[remote lintel]

but not anything specific

[patent citrus]

ic ic

[forest sage]

for example in labyrinthios it'll tell you Medial circuit, but that's the entire middle circle

[maiden copper]

is it just ffxivhunt?

[remote lintel]

@tacit venture do you have a screenshot

[forest sage]

for automating the process yeah I think, you can use google/various other places to find specific mobs, but it's annoying to do it for eveyr mob

[urban grotto]

i'm at the firmement who do I talk to dto do restorations?

[remote lintel]

follow the blue quests

[tacit venture]

basically I mapped my hotkey f5 as my reassemble, and once I use it, it immeidately stop targetting the monster I wanted it on for

before it never just untargeted

f5 being part of my controller key too

[forest sage]

oh I read someone having similar weird issues, not sure if it's a setting or what

[sudden dock]

is there a way to hide other players' minions?

[forest sage]

shouldn't be doing that

[tacit venture]

so the Untargetting after using a "buff" skill may actually be a bug ?

[forest sage]

well there's no reason it'd do that

is your target locked? or is it soft locked only

[maiden copper]

oh i was just asking if "xiv hunt website" meant ffxivhunt

[tacit venture]

it's pretty locked by all means

like I can do every other attack just fine

[maiden copper]

id post the link, but i dont know if thats against the rules

[remote lintel]

yes its ffxivhunt

[forest sage]

yeah it lets you select the monsters and draw a path to do all your marks quickly

[tacit venture]

so..am I doing something wrong, is this not supposed to happen ?

[remote lintel]

are you using mkb AND controller at the same time??

[forest sage]

I just checked with my gamepad and it doesn't deselect target

[cursive ridge]

yes i encountered a similar problem when for example shift+key is assigned to a 'controller' action, just pressing the key without shift will also switch the game into controller mode

[tacit venture]

yeah I use mkb and controller, but mkb just to type

[patent citrus]

so this is just lucky?

[cursive ridge]

it is very annoying

[patent citrus]

I use the gray button, It gives me location on my map and the location of the mob is right in front of the pointer

[forest sage]

no it'll show that, but nhamaa retreat is a large area, that mob just happens to spawn right on top of the marker

[cursive ridge]

for regular mobs it works

[patent citrus]

ah ok

[cursive ridge]

provided the area is tiny enough

[tacit venture]

were you able to find a fix for it ? Cause this never happened before in heavensward +

[forest sage]

like there's mobs further south that would point you to the same place on the map, and you'd have to fly there

[tacit venture]

having to re-select a target again after re-assemble really puts a hamper in my playstyle :c

[forest sage]

try another key maybe? or more like, why are you using F5 to begin with? not entirely sure I got that, are you using a 3rd party pad program to send F5 to FFXIV?

[cursive ridge]

nope i just gave up. it was in shadowbringers, i wanted to bind shift-E to "move cursor right" but since it's a controller action, every time i pressed E (for an unrelated action) it popped up the controller pointy-finger thingie and it was mega annoying

[patent citrus]

can you take a screenshot of your setting?

[forest sage]

cause XIV supports pads innately, there isn't really a need to send keyboard inputs as pad inputs, unless it's a button that doesn't work normally?

[tacit venture]

f5 is the main reassemble key

[patent citrus]

oh wait, I thought you are using controller nvm

nani

[tacit venture]

I am using controller too lol oop

[cursive ridge]

it's an issue with that certain commands in the game automatically switch the game into controller mode

the menu navigation ones for example

[tacit venture]

I've had this set up for years

I even removed f5

ont he controller

[forest sage]

try F5 on another pad button, and another key than F5, see if it works in either case

but most of these buttons can be assigned directly ingame, I think only the xbox button can't?

[patent citrus]

hmm impossible, really?

this is what I use

[tacit venture]

oddly enough, that worked

if I put f5 on the dpad

it doesn't untarget

[forest sage]

put another button like F or G or whatever on xbox button, then bind something to that and see if it unselect

[tacit venture]

ok let me try ty

[forest sage]

it might just be the xbox button having weird interactions

[patent citrus]

oh I get it, you've been trying to use it like this thread? https://www.reddit.com/r/emulation/comments/1goval/any_way_to_map_the_middle_xbox_360_button/camujj7/

[tacit venture]

yeah..that didn't work

it actually made my computer zoom in all the way hell to pixel minecraft mode

lol

there's something very pecular about this xbox middle button..

I turned off all Icould possibly find on the settings so it does'nt turn on spotify or what not

[forest sage]

have any windows gamebar shit on?

[tacit venture]

and yeah like that thread you posted

[tacit venture]

it's been working fine like a single button for many many years

I dunno why now it'd deciding to acxt up

perhaps I should re-update my rewasd 3rd party program

[forest sage]

check windows settings, Gamebars/xbox bla bla bla

and turn off all that shit

speicifcally one option is "open windows gamebar with xbox button" and that needs to be off

seeing as how it's windows settings, it can reset every now and then when thye do updates because microsoft is a bundle of fucks

[woeful fiber]

hihi - wheres the kupo bot support link 🙂

[tacit venture]

yeah that's been turned off

[woeful fiber]

oh 😦

just wondering if you guys know how to automate kupo bot to deliver the fashion report to my server

[forest sage]

kupobot stuff is in #kupo-bot-spam ? but how to use kupobot no idea, google maybe?

[woeful fiber]

yeah i tried but their guide said go here for support lmaoo

so now im stuck haha

[buoyant dune]

Should I use delirium and blood weapon at the same time?

[forest sage]

you don't have to, standard opener doesn't, but you can, just if you're double weaving, weave blood weapon 2nd

since it needs to be in the late part of the GCD to get all the hits in the duration, until they remember to unfuck the skill like they did every other skills that worked the same way

[buoyant dune]

Thx

[patent citrus]

just type !fr on your server

that should do it

[dire prawn]

What is this??? (North Shroud in the bottom left of the map)

[pine onyx]

For opener you use blood weapon first, with the first 3 gcd you can pop living shadow
