yeah don't have a weapon i can dye.....
Market Board time
press F time
If i give the torse a different dye, will i get more points ?
dark brown maybe 
just put 'a' brown dye on it.
Don't have acces to market board :D
79 points
shit
so close
I noticed that the new maps don't have 2 stars of riding speed. Is this an intentional new design or is it that the 2nd star of riding speed hasn't came out yet?
do we have an idea on the materia priorirty for SGE yet? or is it Crit>DH>SpS like it so often is
Det > DH
Especially since 6.0 buffed Det
And healers don't benefit all that much from DH since shields and heals only crit
What should I use white scrips for? I'm level 90
got a buff to how much it improves your damage
both > materia
crafter > recipe books
gatherer > folklore books
Ok heard
Where can I get short term miner gear at 69
preferably you'd just struggle to 70 and buy white scrip gear
which would vastly outclass anything you'd buy right now at 69
True but what can I abuse for a whole levrl
wait do the ehcatl have their own delivery quests like the GC deliveries since theyre a craft based beast tribe?
Yeah
thats cool
During ex 89|| with the light waves, is the pattern the same crystal placement wise?||
It is, yeah
||It's the waves that are random, but the crystals themselves will always be in the same place||
Yeah
what happens when you open the lvl 90 map, but dont have all lvl 90 zones unlocked?
it doesn't appear at all in the map screen if you haven't unlocked it
If my account was created on PS4, how can I add a key to play that account on the PC too?
if it randoms a zone you dont have you cant do it? or you can never do it even if it gets the first zone for exampe
oh you mean a treasure map
yes sorry
yeah you just wont be able to do it
Right um, do you buy the expansion or the starter edition or??

I'm asking for when sales are back online
(HW) "||Tales of the Dragonsong War||" and (ShB) "||Tales from the Shadows||"
I need to know how to do this properly so I don't waste money doing it wrong
If you’re on trial, just get complete when it’s possible
The former starts at ||Fortemps Manor in Ishgard, with a quest called "The Paths We Walk"||. The latter starts in ||Mor Dhona, with a quest called "One Final Journey"||
then just buy complete for pc when it becomes available again @high frigate
thank u kindly for censoring it, might have spoiled me, thank u! (im only at SB)
thanks
And you need to buy the game on pc
That's how it works
if you outlevel a mob a lot, do the mobs item drop rates decrease in the overworld
cringe
i can't find the right settings for effects in battle. my gf says she can still see some things when she has it set to Show Limited, but I can't see any at all when i do
i can't even see things like Earthly Star, Sanctuary, Sacred Soil, Doton, or other party-cast aoes if i have it set to Show Limited
whats her battle effects settings under char config > control settings > character look like?
like all 4 options
limited = only important stuff shows up
limited, limited, none, none
and i have it the same
i think it might be my graphics settings that's limiting it even further?
if you can't see things like earthly star, then you have none for your battle setting
not limited
graphic setting has nothing to do with it, even the lowest will show these effects cause it's important
i set them back to all and then back to limited and i'll try again, thanks
can set others effect to none since they don't affect you and your party
right, i've always had that
For ex 89, what does the weapon coffer give?
the same weapon that the trial itself drops
just for whatever job you open the coffer as
So if I’m reaper and open it I get a scythe?
i love those new coffers, excellent way to raise my alchemist desynth levels
yes
can I safely destroy ilvl 430 weapon given at the end oh ShB ? it's not "armoirable" and I'm not sure if this is upgradable or anything
430 is extremely low for the ShB stuff, so yes
that's stuff from ShB Alliance Raid 1, right?
or E1-4?
yeah it's the class stuff given for reaching 80 with a DOW
oh that
by the blacksmith
yeah, definitely
thanks, need that inventory space : o
you can use poetics in Eulmore or Crystarium to buy Augmented Cryptlurker, which is 530
yes thanks, already did ^^
nice
the armor had nice skin but the weapon not so much and since you can't do anything with it
also, even if you wanted it all back from that blacksmith for future glams, it's free and re-obtainable
ah good to know, so I speak to him and I can get the weapon again ?
yes
definitely no reason to keep it then
oh ! I'll remember that next time I have dead inventory weight
also when you play through msq on Endwalker, you will eventually get free gear for level 89, ilevel 560. sadly, they aren't quite enough to do the new raids, you would need to grind a few Aphorisms for 90 gear 570
but most of the 89 free gear looks amazing
ok, I'm still doing ShB patches, is there a poetics vendor too for lvl 90 ?
just the new tomestones then, noted
and then you can get better gear from the raids, i think it's 580
is there a site that has world information (as in if its open or not?) im a f2p players so logging in and getting kicked every time i want to check is kind of a drag lol
I'm trying to delay my entry into EW as much as possible but thanks for all that, very helpful
you're welcome
where i can find the specific presets that the trailer posterboy wol has
what to do with poetics? dont need gear
there's some options people will recommend, but my personal advice is to buy Unidentifiable Ore with poetics, trade it for Thanalan Soil, and sell the soil on the market
there might be better options, but those will never fail tbh
man i wish houses would be instanced and permanent, these plots seem to be profitable but im not playing the game all year long
That's called apartments
but you cant do garden plots in apartments can you
I'm not going to be able to go home; aren't I?
Why am I not able to turn this in?
not enough collectability
Ah got it. Tx
What's more difficult. Raid or extreme trial atm?
Extreme.
extremes for their DPS check
Raids are currently only story difficulty
As long as there's a tank and a healer you can brute force your way through
Generally, normal raids << EX, although that discrepancy becomes less obvious with OP gear (since you can start tanking everything).
no
is there a point in trying to play without buying the game
until server issues are fixed
can you switch back between gladiator and paladin ?
if you take off your job stone
cause some jobs have abilities past lvl 30 so...
you will be a gladiator
ahh.. ok.
but there is no reason to stay as a gladiator
if you play in the AM your trial is A-OIK
You get all the gladiator abilities as PLD
Is Lightning’s armor from XIII a thing?
On mogstation
Yeah, but it’s in the cash shop
what gloves are these?
Ahh rip, does it also have the XIII-2 version or just the first
Can you upgrade from a beginner version to the standard version?

use them on i130 yeah!
Yes it is
youll hit the 2000 cap by the time you'd want to use them on anything else
Do you mean from the free trial to the normal game? No, not currently. If you didn't buy any version of the game prior to sales shutting a week or so ago, you can't buy into it right now at all
If you already own the game in any manner, you can buy expansions
No
There is a guide for spending gil on the trial in the pins
can't even dump them on allagan gold pieces 😫
Saddle bag
Only above level 50, but you can buy plenty of gear for lower levels jobs with gil
And they can fill in some slots above level 50 if you haven't got enough Poetics for everything
if i'm running into a direction and cast something the character turns to the target, can I turn it off somehow?
Sam is 50
Putting aside the fact you need to own Stormblood to play Samurai, Samurai and Red Mage start at level 50
And they come with left side gear
It's only the Heavensward jobs that start at level 30 (Astrologian, Dark Knight, and Machinist)
You would need to get some gear for them, yeah
You won't get a full set
Are there any good resources for sheet music?
You get some pieces but not everything
I'm having a hell of a time finding FFXIV 1.0 Sheet Music, specifically the song Unspoken, and I'd even buy an arrangement / book of them, but like nothing seems to exist from that era.
Yeah
anyone know where to get the classquest gear after you discarded it ?
What is the current best way to level alt jobs starting from 70?
Please don't say bozja 😅
Endwalker gear? Go back to the vendor you first got them from
Calamity salvager maybe?
where can i find him?
Any of the three starter cities (Ul'dah/Limsa/Gridania)
Just finished MSQ; phew jesus lord
ANYHOW: Anyone figured out what replaced COffee Biscuit?
when buying additional retainers, do i need to logout/login again to have access to them?
if i'm running into a direction and cast something the character turns to the target, can I turn it off somehow?
Pretty certain you can't
People say the carrot leve is good
oh well there you go
its in character configuration > control settings > target
tyvm ❤️
Is there an updated altleveling guide?
Hey I just got the fishing folklore books, but I have no idea what the fish names are. Is there any documents showing them?
for endwalker, I mean
やshould I level up dps in highest dungeon the new obes or zadnor, seems like it starts going slow after lvl 84-85
It’ll probably get updated once we get our alt level spot for EW
Be it a deep dungeon, relic zone etc
Whats the best way to raise doh or dol in EW?
Thank god
But i still have some mats tho, should i just craft it and turn them in? Wonder how good is the exp
1k
The XP would be 1000 per turn in
Or it will plummets after we hit 80
For ex 89, ||are where the chakram’s thrown the same or different each time?||
Different
is it worth getting flight in the 6.0 zones?
during the msq
as in, do the quests take you back to a previous zone or are they all in sequence?
get them as you go. it's less painful
don't do what i have done
it saves you a good 2hrs of your time post msq running around all the zones
ok haha fair
And labyrinthos
Zone 1 and 2 get 2 visits
Zone 5 is spread out across that zones entire msq so just get them as you go
Same for zone 6
Zone 2 you go back to like three times over the course of the MSQ
I am embarrassed and ashamed
I just now for the first time in 6 years realized I’ve never had the target progress bar of enemies in my hud to know what attack is about to happen.. and just now turned it on. I’ve been dodging based off luck and other people for 6 … years…
Ngl you should be
well, all that practice you better never get hit by an enemy ability again
now that you actually know when it's coming
Oh I 100% am I was wondering why everyone knew exactly when to move
Jesus Christ.
I was watching a video for mechanics and went “how do they know when they’re going to attack…” and then I saw someone with a zoomed in target bar at the bottom that showed it in big ass letters, and then it hit me
Hey guys I have a wrestling
Question*
Not wrestling
I've been told to just literally go through the MSQ and not focus on anything else until I completely finish it. Not even side quests or anything. Is this the best way to do things?
There's just so much content to go thru..
Not necessarily, but doing so will make it easier to go back and do that old content (as you'll have more money, flying, the ability to clear through most content solo)...
Plus, the MSQ is the main selling point when it comes to story content, so it may be what you enjoy more
Grab
that you see along the way
There's no reason to rush its completion, though
It's gonna take a long time for me to get to Endwalker. 😔
Yeah I've been grabbing those quests and doin them
It's just alot of those blue quests also take a bit to complete
Is there a setting we can change for tab targeting?
Mine never seems to target the closest monster, it's always a random one far off
It’s a cone
I can't figure out how it works lol
I'll have monsters A + B in melee range. I'll be targeted to monster A. I press tab and it switches to target C 45 feet away
It’s a cone that spreads out from where your character is facing
The tab targeting is pretty rough honestly. I've tried messing around but it's not great
!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.
This should cover very thing you NEED
At the bare minimum
Otherwise pick up
and just have fun along the way
You wanna try a new job, go try that new job
would this work in pvp?
No
The producer hates fomo
is there a faster way on getting to level 15 without plalice of the dead
It won't even work in pve
Because PvP actions are different
Just do two tiers of hunt log and a couple fates
ah kk ty ❤️
Can you solo Potd as DPS?
Actually, I think that's slower than potd tbh...depends on the mercy of PF I guess
Hey I just got the fishing folklore books, but I have no idea what the fish names are. Is there any documents showing them?
for endwalker, I mean
Every class can solo 1-200 if you know what you're doing and are geared/lucky
You can solo potd as any job if you're good enough
In other words, not
No
If you’re wanting to do POTD for the experience, solo is your worst choice
No, it means you gotta be smart
At best each fishing spot in the zone will have a red icon for fish locked behind the hook
So not
The “easiest” jobs to do solo POTD with are probably Red Mage and Machinist
Not is an incorrect answer grammatically
There's an achievement tied to soloing potd lol
Maybe Warrior too due to their increase in self-sustain?
What a luck, I wanna do Potd as MCH
Can I do anything with last tier's materia?
Vendor it
It's basically worthless, well not counting when blu gets updated
Or the super unlikely case where we get another limited job
isn't there a way to transmute it or something?
Blu won't use the level 7 shit
Technically yes, but it's not worth the time and it's rng af
I keep.some tier 8s for casual melds
I stacked a ton of it lol
Since they're guaranteed to retrieve
isn't vendoring like 10 gil?
No
No
What happens if you try to log in to an area for an expansion you don’t have on another platform?
!item quickarm materia viii
It’s like 200?, something close to that
You can't login
I'm pretty sure it just doesn't let you
Oh yeah I see it now it's like 130
You'd have to go back to the platform you owned the expansion on and go to an older expansion's area
Anyone have that graphic with the ilvl progression including the next patch?
hey does anyone else have there game suddenly crash for absolutely no reason with no error reports? its pretty irritating
So my internet speed is currently 550mbs down and 0.9mbs up and I'm lagging like crazy. How does that even work? LOL
im also lagging on jenova
https://gyazo.com/9cc7bc275459ef3c1b19f8f66593feb7
anybody know what is preventing it from deleting?
ACT is probably still writing to it
Close ACT
ok I wanted to make sure before I closed it lol
so I need to close ACT to delete old logs?
nani, yeah look up where the logs are saved, that's what I usually do
Yeah, it's probably just ACT doing something with logs
Keeping them open in some way
Even if they're old
How does the new dragoon aoe proc work?
maybe your act logs are protected folder? 😁 who knows
I closed ACT and it let me delete them
This might be the wrong place to ask this. But why would I be getting such a poor connection to final fantasy? Short of putting a hole in my bedroom wall to run and Ethernet cable, I have the best connection in the house. I'm less than ten feet from my router. I've never really had a problem before endwalker dropped. But now I have ping from hell
is ur game always poor or just now?
you mean like packet loss? or just high ping?
cause IK the static I was just running with we all were lagging
Really high ping. Super bad lag especially loading into things. And consistently getting 90002'd
this is my connection to Crystal today 👀 not sure what happened tbh
huge packet loss, but ping is normal
ah right.. not sure about high ping tbh
has it always been like this since you started?
most likely if you are share the internet with other people, other people just download/upload stuff that hinder your connection to the net
Do your aoe combo, get the proc for draconian fury, that's it
It's raiden thrust but aoe
Nah I used to be able to play for hours with zero issue. Tiny bit of lag loading into limsa or gridania cause of the dense population and my PC not being the greatest. But no, this lag is relatively new to endwalker
do you run the game as admin? or have you tried resetting the modem
do these change every week?
yes
is it not possible to hit the required numbers without the +stat bonuses?
Should I be running as admin? And yes I've tried the router. Didn't help much.
Change your party makeup
how are you checking ping
hitting 2 is definitely possible w/o stat bonus, just need to adjust team
Usually the ping thing in-game?
there is no in-game ping checker
that stats req is a bit brutal
The sent/received isn't ping?
I guess you just have to satisfy 2 of them only
Ah
Is the current ring slot tome and ex2/last dungeonring?
this is the one im using
Does castrum lacus litore from bozja scale with squad size? Only see participants in the single digits
wha
and type the crystal DC IP
just use command prompt lol
It will track your connection to it always and shows a warning if it's a packet loss
if it's red, then you probably get dc
Interesting. Okay okay

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*
The thing that prompted me to ask is I'm sitting here waiting on my queue and I'm looking at my connection saying it's "poor" and I have good WiFi and no substantial blockage. Everything else on my PC works flawlessly internet wise.
online game is different
Was just curious if anyone else was experiencing it or if it was solely a me problem
slight packet loss, and probably you get dc'd
that "connection quality" thing just spits out random stuff
it's been worse since endwalker released because servers have been hammered
but your ping to the server remains the same (probably)
unless extra traffic along routes to the datacenter has caused laggier / slower connection
I use a VPN to avoid most of that
According to my command prompt my average ping is 95ms
that's good enough !
packet loss is what matters
if you have a high packet loss for that ping 50 times, then you'll need to use VPN/upgrade to ethernet cable probably
also don't have to drill a hole in the wall for an ethernet cable
can just use a flat ethernet cable
and route it along skirting board / along walls
To go all the way around the wall and into my room it'd be a 50+ ft cable.
Hmm. I'll keep that in mind.
Hey you know how rn the servers are congested right? The world are full so duty finder will find someone quickly. To my knowledge it’s so busy because Endwalker hype. A month or 2 from now when the hype dies down the world won’t be as populated, so won’t duties and trials take even longer
type this ping 204.2.229.11 -n 50
Probably have to look on Amazon
then post the result here
no, because roulettes keep the queues relatively healthy
How so?
15m (50ft) one for £10 ($15)
Lol. Thanks a ton. I'll add it to my cart
So you mean like people who want to level alt classes, they log on at least once a day for their daily roulette?
yes
just look for a well reviewed one
Ah
Lost 4
Or they just want tomestones
I was worried that later on doing story trials it would be impossible to find a team
Tomestone grind post arr is slim.
out of 50, lost 4? 😮
Mhm
does it matter what faction i pick?
Nope
just glamour and furniture difference
if u pick twin adder everybody will laugh at you
(jkjk)
just pick the one that looks coolest
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
yeah that's a bit high
I think most online game recommended <2% packet loss out of that 50 ping
make sure they all hold the safety rope as they cross the internet street
bribing them may help convince them to stick around
What do packets like to be bribed with??
Ah I see I see
i am once again asking
is there still a free version?
they haven't announced maint so it should be working
afaik no, you can't register for free trial anymore
free trial account creation is currently disabled
yes but you can't sign up unless you're already using it
rip
server load too stronk
game is full 
isn't the complete edition locked too?
can you change your account email ?
you can't buy any new copy of the game
only upgrade your current copy
zamn
If you bought something and it hasn't arrived you were told to allow up to 10 business days
yes
ok thx
i bought something but it was declined by my credit card company but i called them and they said i was fine
That could be anything
any news on when it'll be back up for new players?
From your cc not being supported by their infrastructure to insufficient funds
For controller players when you're playing a healer, is it possible default to stay permanetly locked onto a player even if you switch to attack enemies .?
No
@warm snow thanks
you'll get an email receipt with: [Square Enix Account] FFXIV Notification: Purchase Complete as the title if it worked
you can focus target them
and then swap back to focus target even after targeting something else
On top of that
How do I make a triple triad deck outside of the gold saucer
@quiet acorn If you only need to perform one skill on a different target
Look up soft targeting
it's in the character menu I think
Completely different topic for me. Where is the best place to grind tomestones around lvl 50??
Character > gold saucer
what is the meaning of bonus in custom delivery?
can't wait for when servers open up again
Use case:
- Attacking enemy
- Soft target tank for one healing ability
- (no additional targetting required) Keep attacking enemy
are minions just decor? like how in genshin impact the roserelias are just decor?
If you're willing to play through Castrum Meridanum or the Praetorium again, the Main Scenario roulette will give you a ton of ton of Poetics.
they just a lil cute pet that follows you in open world zones, they do nothing gameplay wise
what's the faq command to view the server IP? I'm getting some lag and I want to check my ping/see if there's packet loss
They follow you and look cute
Aside from that, just do your roulettes and run the Level 50 dungeons.
Some minions have “special things about em”
Some have unique interactions with other minions
Like they’re needed to spawn S ranks, sit on you

ye but they didn't ask that!
like sitting on your shoulder 👀
They asked what they do
cheers ty
👍
Silly question. Do you still get poetics after you run the roulette for the first time every day?
And i refuse to play fucking gacha trash to figure out what else they meant
is there no way to download ffxiv on your pc now? i have a free trial account
If the dungeon itself gives it, yes, but you don't get any bonus from the roulette
You won't get the poetics from the roulette bonus, no. But all level cap content (i.e. Level 50 dungeons and Alliance Raids) will give you poetics on completion. The Crystal Tower raids will give you 100 poetics a pop, I think.
Hilariously enough we just got a gacha for minions/mounts, it’s 20k seals each
can we trade white script to purple?
You can download it as normal, you just can't buy it
no
cant find where to download it
No, Kyn
!faq freetrial
ok -.-

At least its not rmt gacha
when SE will update pvp skills ?
6.1
no pls
Probably like March or so
once a week we will get the new savage content does it require update?
Server stability is priority one for these guys
Savage patch is also adding other content
Recipes, gear etc
Like the treasure map dungeon for level 90 maps
G l a m o u r
They have said that delaying savage isn't completely off the table
But it doesn't look like that's hapoening
This next week will probably decide that
they ain't gunna delay savage
ppl already got pissed they messed up PTO of endwalker launch
They said they might
savage is much smaller community but they can't mess with their highly vocal hardcore audience
Yes they can lmfao
When they said they weren't going to delay nornal
Their hardcore raiders already got bapped with the newspaper when second ultimate didn't hapoen
They're not afraid to break out the spray bottle and tell them no again
this is ultimately no longer really appropriate for this channel
so kindly take it elsewhere
Am I doing something wrong in queueing/using party finder, or is there just nobody running Delubrum Reginae?
most people aren't really doing DR at this point in time
whats the point of the sunshine seasonal item?
most are focused on the new expansion so
they're just cute little fireworks basically
If you're committed to learning the mechs it's solo able normally
seriously? Well. Here we go.
wait do u need to have a certain tier of MSQ done before u get the 70 white scrip gear? :c
If its your first time, it'll likely cost all your mettle tho
you need to be able to unlock the eulmore house so yes
but its not that far into shb MSQ
Also you NEED essences
darn...
Same as all scrip gear
so im putting everything correct in my login, but its still saying incorrect
70 gear needs rhalgr not eulmore
Then you're not
oh ok i was checking idyllshire lol...ty
i played on ps with the account
And do you have a pc license?
Any vendor works, unlock is region specific
Free trial is locked to one platform if that's what you're trying to do
ngl idk what that is, i just thought if i made the account on ps it would transfer to pc
ohhhh
ok thanks a lot, i was getting frustrated lol
And each platform needs a separate licence for the full game
derp i just got it. didnt realize there was an unlock. do i get the 350 70 white scrip gear, or the 330 one?
While your save are shared, you'd need additional licenses to play on different platform
What do you think?
for arr relic quest a ponze of flesh can you do the dungeons in unrestricted mode?
Yes
since i was playing on free trials, didnt think that part mattered, but thanks for help
sweet thank you
Higher ilvl is almost always better
oh these dont have offhands...hrm
A quest will tell you if a duty must be done synced.
After arr, its universally better
do i just buy something off market then?
not universally true since scrip gear at lvl vs crafted, crafted is lower ilvl than scrip gear
anyway, for you scarlyt just go for the 350 set
Merry, Wynne, so this player here is playing free trial on PS4, what would they need to do to play it on PC?
So the last week I've been experiencing some weird FPS lag issues that affect my mouse camera. They happen randomly, and when they do I cannot move my camera with my mouse. At first I thought it was a mouse problem, but eventually I realized I could still use my skills with it (I use an MMO mouse), it's just that I couldn't move my camera for a few seconds. This didn't happen to me before, but now it happens regularly whenever I play the game, and it's becoming quite annoying. Has anyone experienced something similar? Any ideas as to what it could be and how to solve it?
They cant
Games closed
Fair enough
until you buy the full game
Like straight up they cannot play
They can go back to their ps4 trial or they can play something else
@leaden ginkgo what Merry said
yea i saw, thanks for help ima just redownload on ps i guess
hi guys. quick question. if i already get my first job (machina) to 90 but am still on lvl 87 main story, should i still play the same job?
i have a lvl 81 gunbreaker but it can't accept the quest
Should I always use the "Recommended Gear" button or pick out the rings, earrings etc. with the bonuses I think help BRD? I'm stuck at a crossroads
Yes, you don't need to worry about substats optimization til endgame
Up to you, you're losing the extra exp but it's not like levelling alt jobs is hard
can just do dungeons until 87 with the gunbreaker to soak up the msq exp since you need to be the same lvl as msq to do it
Thank you 
i saw that handsaint lvl 80 is better than level 87 store tool, is that mean this handsaint could carry me to get high quality on levemete turn in until 85?
can take it to 90 tbh
because aesthete still expensive af
You can buy handsaint for BSM and make HQ lv81 tools for most of the other crafters

i'm really stingy with my scrips
i used like... 2100 white scripts today and still gott 1500ish to spare
all on tools?
tbf I don't really know where to use white scrips if not the gear
(assuming all master recipes unlocked)
What does increasing or decreasing the "difficulty" on levequests do?
would the stats from equivalent merchant vendors not be sufficient for collectibles at 70+? the vids im finding seem to recommend just doing vendor gear instead of white scrips.
wonder if thats assuming youre rushing so you dont really have many options for white scrips?
affects reward
im struggling a bit with PAL, i have soo many skills on my hotbar i cant fit them, is there any way to reduce them? like can i change the 123 combo into just 1 skill?
no
"a bonus has been something'd for the difficulty" or somesuch
and you have more than enough room for all of your skills.
vendor gear is ok, but honestly if you can just get white scrip gear for 70/80 then there's no reason to spend the gil on vendor gear. 50/60 scrip gear isn't worth buying because they're not universal sets @pure copper
@limber hound How do you know what reward you're getting?
idk man i got 33 skills on my hotbar rn
ah gotcha that makes sense on the uniqueness bit then
It's been a while and combat leves no longer exist in higher levels
again you have more than enough room
some of your skills just aren't used.
like cover
70/80 sets for scrips are universals so thats part of why they're worth going for
my hands cant reach that far
gotcha ok that makes sense
and the stat requirements really aren't that harsh in shb/ew so can get away with using them til their level caps
Is there a way I can alter my settings with glamor. Like say if I have my machinist and Archer to 70 and I have the full augmented gear. I put some glam on my archer and when I switch to my machinist and the glam will go on that too. Is there a way I can stop that from happening or I just have to stick with it
oh i dont have a mmo mouse
but you have control and alt as modifiers
The glam goes over the gear itself, so no
theres a lot of keys u can use if youre on a keyboard without a MMO mouse:
qertfgzxcv
`123456
F1 F2...and the like
@leaden ginkgo you would need to give MCH another glam
you can make a 2 different glamour plates and link them to the gearsets
hm
ok i think i just need to figure out what works for me
but do keep in mind that glamour plates can only be applied in cities/safe hubs
What Merry said
my f keys are so far tho
so if you change gear out in the field/dungeons, the plate can't be applied
yea definitely. i have my hotbars set up from years of playing mmos so it's natural for me lol
most of my hotbar is the 1 to =, ctrl and alt modifiers
Adamski, have you considered using a controller?
But four cursed-ish buttons are set to f1-f4 instead
also look into alt, ctrl, shift modifiers...they open up a lot
I've been wondering how in the world a controller can handle 40+ hotkeys lol
Should Temperance be used on cooldown?
using shift and ctrl rn it helps but still running out of space lol
I don't PLD tho
ctrl+numbers is a struggle for me
and ctrl+8 is still cursed
I use side mouse buttons instead of ctrl/shift
i just have an MMO mouse. i bind mods on the buttons and then just freestyle everything else
Using both wxhb and expanded control gives you 32 more, on top the 16
it's a dance with extended hotbars and swapping hotbar sets
My mouse has thumb buttons, but I use those for targeting
basically just need different muscle memory, can perform just as good if not better than kb/m in the right hands
everythings kinda muscle memory
Been playing with a controller since I started six months ago, been clearing the current extremes with it
It's a Japanese game, controller support is pretty much guaranteed
Anything been said about resuming sales?
You just get used to it.
no
No.
no
Also played different roles and jobs with it
I play everything on controller
f o r e v e r
None of them poses any real difficulties
It's pretty easy once you get the hang of the Extended cross
Just need to build the muscle memory
hi
henli
advanced controller usage is probably harder to learn though since it relies on hidden hotbars
how do i appeal a support warning? i've been apparently warned for harassment
on a day i wasn't home.
Done correctly, expanded control is a very smooth way to do combos and follow up
can i keep doing level 82 tradecraft leve until 86?
i am not confident enough to try doing level 84 leve
Could have been for actions before?
they ain't very helpful
you could've been reported months ago
Example, hold R2, do a few skills, hold L2 without letting go of R2, do skill, release L2 without letting go of R2, continue with more skills
Yea. I put all my buffs on the extended so it's easier to weave
it has to be reviewed by a human and that takes time, so,
All lot of people report stuff
so is anything happening besides the official warning?
probably not
just don't say anything bad in a public chat channel ever
just be careful in the future 
i mean- i don't act like that towards people
You need to be saying some pretty nasty things to get real consequences
so i'm curious what "harassment" they were talking about
I for example, has once yelled at a tank for not doing their job the whole alliance raid
could be anything, harassment is a pretty general category. i wouldn't dwell on it
Can I use the icon of one of my abilities for my macros? I made a macro for Living Dead but I want to use the icon of the ability and not one of the default ones
@bitter cedar /micon "skill name here"
I don't know if I even got reported, or I did, but it was shrugged off
it'll set the macro icon as the skill icon
nah they give warnings to people for spamming holy in limsa 
and it'll show the cooldown properly
it just depends on the GM
do /micon "Living Dead"
Oh I see. Thanks!
depends on which job has the most button bloat
whats right now
Uhhhhh, I think you want to know effective button count
ok thanks
Does the lvl 90 dungeon drop accessories?
all three of them, yes
I don't know why you won't want to know the number of abilities
And just the number of weaponskill/spells
trying to figure out my keybinds
Yeah, total button count
i prefer to organise modifiers by GCD/oGCD
everything will fit in 3 hotbars
^
32-34 slots in the max you'd need
can you recommend me a good dg from 80~87
or anyone
that include oGCD too?
your highest dungeon, but from 80-81 do your 79 one
79, 81, 83, 85, 87
yes.
with room spare !
literally every job only needs 3 hotbars
what about just GCD
ah thanks
Nobody counts just GCD
what
just pick up a job and make hotbars for it
Because we see them as one whole set of toolkit
just pick the job and make hotbars as you go?
i know, im just asking to see if i can fit all GCD skill on one hotbar
and then apply that hotbar "style" to your future jobs
and oGCD on other hotbars
depends on the job
most of them yes
That's a very very odd way of organization
lv 90 dungeon ||do the butterflies in the final boss really inflict undispellable doom, or is it one of those top em up type dooms?||
just put ya rotation on 123 :)
just what i prefer
it doesn't matter what hotbar, just bind them similarly.
what job are you trying to use
I used to do that, then I ran out of space
Hey, Is Ramuh from Striking Tree (Hard) immune to instant kill effects? Asking for me, I'm a Blue Mage.
Top em up
@limber houndoh ok that answers my question xD
ok ty
that was on MNK tho
number of GCD per job is a highly specific questions that frankly most of us can't answer off the top of our heads
So I adjusted my hotbars to suit MNK
We'd actually need to count them by hand
Then adjusted all my other hotbars to follow that
I ain't counting gcds!
you keep it that way for other jobs breeding?
well sorta
just. do this. and use modifiers instead. https://i.imgur.com/M5trzdy.png
Some variation but the general layout is the same
The rule of thumb is, if you press it often, you make it very easy to reach
If it’s a boss, there’s no way insta kills work. Mid bosses maybe
@heavy wadithats using esdf tho right
And ideally your finger motion should be very smooth
My GNB hotbars
So your 1-2-3 combo, should be in one continuous flow of button
compared to DRK
Ie, reduce the number of times where you'd need to jump your fingers
How in the world are you pressing 0 lol
with my thumb
or index finger
plus Shadowbringer on 0 is tentative
smarty lol
my DRK is lv61
right hand
or thumb
On their right side it is all "I don't want to fat finger this" skills
Invuln, limit break, provoke
damn idk how your reaching part 5
Right side is for longer cooldown things, yes
i cant reach ctrl or 6 lol
Can we redeem purchase game codes?
I dropped ctrl+6 and 7, and alt+6 and 7
the furthest i would go is like 7 or 8
that's why you see F1, 2, 3, 4
but i guess i prefer keeping my hands on movement keys at all times lol
for things that use meter
simply use mmo mouse 
well, for tank/healer things that use meter 
is there a place where i can find a list of all endwalker fish, i just wana enter them into the marketboard and see which ones are cheap for desynth leveling
If you already had the code, you should be able to use it
@gleaming sierra i use F1, F2, F3 for things that i need hotkeyed but dont really matter like mount etc
I assume #protips-and-ui would have some pinned message on hotbar for various jobs
If it doesn't
!faq balance
ok ty
Balance would definitely have some recommendations
think im just gonna have to try learn to use ctrl, its just hard tho cos it sacrifices my movement
In the end, i would say that it comes down to the basic rules of thumbs I listed
- smooth finger motion for your combo
!faq controller
- avoid jumping finger, especially for commonly used skills
This guide also has tons of targeting tips
I’d show off my controller bars for stuff, but they’re very jank since I like to randomly shift into a claw grip
No matter how you like yours to be organized, I would say it will in some shape or form followed the things I listed
Is it worth buying something off the market to pair with my 70 white scrip gatherer gear, or do i just get a vendor piece?
ok ty lc
Getting from NPC Vendor is your worse choice, NQ crafted gear has neutered stat
will that matter since im just leveling though
If buying NQ crafted gear gives you a massive jump in ilvl and stat
Then it is a okay choice
You shouldn't need to buy any gear to go with the lv70 scrip gear
As the landking set is a full set
you can get by without up to date off hand tbh
oh alright
So... Buy more if you need more
gear can't break mid instance anymore right it's only after where the durability applies
yes
Okay good because I just joined ex and I noticed my ear is very low
Nifty lil QoL
oh thats good to know
why would we use groundwork when crafting?
why not just use careful synth twice, its 4 CP cheaper
i'm going to start leveling mch from 30 to 50 so i can progress through hw as one. does anyone have any tips on lvling from 30 to 50?
groundwork with the venteration thingy is default
also later on you need groundwork + 2x careful synth for 3500 gear
one guide says spam squadrons, the other says do potd. which one?
ah true, alright thanks

squadrons honestly seems slow to me unless you have maxed out squadron members
Yeah squadrons need investment to make decent
As in getting up their tactic buffs
so should i just do daily roulettes and potd?
yea probs
aight thanks 
does level directly affect crafting process?
like when you have high level it would be easier to craft something like 2 level below with the same equipment
or its easier because of new traits or higher level equipment
you get a lot of "masteries" for some of the skills, making them better and better
other than that i "think" its just the gear which really uprades the process
By using a crossbat
It's not that noticeable
Crossbar
It helps a bit, but yeah, mostly items and skills.
While doing collectibles I'd notice small improvements on how fast I improved quality using the same gear and skills,
But it wasn't a huge difference
i dont think it makes any difference, i had the exact same results and rotations for 4, 5 levels using the same gear, tho i never tried collectibles
the craftmansship etc. is additive and shown on your char screen, it doesnt improve with level, only with gear
sorry, I meant progress, not quality. I'd use muscle memory at one level and the same muscle memory the next level would give a slight increase.
Hello, for trusts, are there any EXP differences between trust scenarios vs avatars? Do they give the same amount of EXP as queuing it in duty finder?
Trusts are slower
i think there are 3 masteries of muscle memory? already closed the game for today, but it upgrades itself sometimes when you level up
in terms of exp gain they are the same?
There's no difference between avatar and scenario
Except who is available
And not getting achievements for levelling them If using scenario
What would be the best materia to imbue my 'Sphere Scroll: Yoshimitsu' with?
Is that the arr relic?
Yes
I would say none of it unless you have to
The cheapest ones
Tbh it doest matter which type cause its for vanity. you wont use it for battle
Fair enough, tyvm then 😄
So how does AST play after the rework
does anyone have a lvl 80 reaper rotation?
Not AST main (but level it up to 80) and tbh i felt the button bloat is a bit worse due to minor arcana and some card skills
It's the same as lv70 but try to save an Enshroud for burst phases like arcane circle
Do I need folklore to find serpentine
ah ok
It feels awkward to play to me
ast is the same job since lv62 
Heals technically works almost same tbh, minus shield stance. Only cards got some change
from that point, you just go more and more overtuned with every new ability 
is macrocosmos bokren
there’s no mechanics to use it yet 
Tru
Is there any way to cut time if I'm planning to do all ARR and HW relics?
Hahaha I meant as in any steps that I could do them together?
I guess you could collect all or as many reagants as you need beforehand but a lot of it is not prepable
Why do healers get all the player rec
The community thinks their jobs are the hardest and or most boring
Is there no upside to do multiple relic at certain phases together compared to doing one by one?
It's not that
I can see that
It's more that the relics require you to do x with y weapon
is there a resource that has collectible gathering trains or osmething? or do i have to build something myself using xivtimer or something
Some of it is doable, like stacking up on the poetic catalysts etc
ded dps or tank = a longer run
ded healer = a reset most often
Because their contributions is very noticable, unlike the DPS
Thank you!
what's player rec?
Reddit karma but in ff14
i did the squadron promotion mission why am I not able to rank up with my grand company??
Commends
ow, well everytime I play DPS I commend DPS
Collect enough of it and they make you a mentor
Was it successful?
If I'm a Tank, I commend my Co-Tank, so not always healer get commend I guess
yes.
so im new to endgame gearing will the current tomestones get any added use later on ? or just ones the new tier hits
You'll buy mats for the crafted gear
Most comms I ever got was 6 for finishing off 83 trial boss at 1% as main tank and sole survivor
For the current tomes
If you're going for the highest rank, you need to complete 5 unique command mission too
I think just the FATE farm part on Zodiac
ok so basically i make gil with it if i dont craft
Light Farming
They don't have to be unique do they
but they are from different expansion, so you won't meet much similiarly in req
I dont need to have the relic equipped for light farming?
Hol up
but it's just feeble though
You can combine arr relic farm with crystal farm after shb?
this is during shb
so for entry plan, one of my characters is crossed out and i cant login to it... would deleting my other character make me able to access the one i want?
because its 1 per world, right?
You know what I mean
Yes
