questions-and-help

[sand steppe]

Are the HW alliances just a big difficulty spike, or should I start practicing them for things to come?

[tall mountain]

They aren’t particularly more difficult than the ARR ones

[modest igloo]

not really

[warped nest]

Just lots of new mechanics

[tall mountain]

Couple more mechanics that will wipe people who aren’t aware but nothing super hard

[warped nest]

Well new if you don't touch optional contents, I suppose

[errant mesa]

I400 is best in slot for 70s right?

[modest igloo]

allaince raids arent that hard unless its like day 1

[warped nest]

Yes

[tall mountain]

yeah

[warped nest]

Augmented scaeven

[modest igloo]

and even then its prolly done in like an hour after people stop dying to stuff

[sand steppe]

Oooh ok so it's more just that I hadn't yet seen a few of the mechs

[modest igloo]

ye

[sand steppe]

That's good to know

[warped nest]

Yeah, just lots of new kind of mechanics to learn

[sand steppe]

Ooooh yeah, don't they like trying out new stuff in Alliances and Raids?

[tall mountain]

which catches a lot of new players off guard but those mechanics aren’t hard once you’ve seen them

[sand steppe]

("they" being the devs)

[warped nest]

@sand steppe usually savage, but yeah

Then it gets watered down for dungeons and sometimes trials

[sand steppe]

Fair

[sour rock]

do we know how buffs stack with other percentages? being in astral fire 3 does 80% more damage, and enochian does 20%

[warped nest]

One sec

Multiplicative

[sand steppe]

So +116%

[warped nest]

80 percent

[sand steppe]

(before any other buffs whatsoever)

[warped nest]

More like x1.96

[winter jetty]

does it matter who uses lb? (aside from role type)

[warped nest]

Nope

[errant mesa]

Yes

[tall mountain]

nope

[warped nest]

Limit break power is calculated from your party ilvl

[tall mountain]

damage is standardized

[sour rock]

i didn't see the in parenthesis

[storm cosmos]

does it matter if I put /micon or /merror off first in a macro? should one go in front of the other?

[tall mountain]

doesn’t matter what the person using it is or has

[warped nest]

@storm cosmos merror first, micon last

[tall mountain]

merror first, icon can go wherever

[storm cosmos]

ty :)

[sour rock]

and im sorry did you say 116%?

[warped nest]

It is 1.8x stacking with 1.2x

[winter jetty]

so whether or not a reaper or a monk uses lb, the damage is the same?

[sand steppe]

Isn't that the opposite tho? That's making the +20% •.8, not 1.8

[tall mountain]

yup

limit break is a “party” thing, not an individual thing

[errant mesa]

Don't think I've ever seen a monk lb3

[dire prawn]

So uhh

[sand steppe]

On a potency made with that in mind though

[dire prawn]

Royal City of Rabanastre

First boss

Underwater breathless mech

How to deal with

[errant mesa]

Good luck

[warped nest]

My bad, I had a brain fart, 1.8x stack with 1.2 is 2.16x

[errant mesa]

Should be bubbles or some obvious mechanic there to avoid dying

[warped nest]

Albyn's math is correct

[sand steppe]

It's good, I'm tired myself and had to look at it for ~10 seconds to figure out if that was right or not

[warped nest]

@dire prawn the frogs

Kill frogs (iirc) to get air bubble

[dire prawn]

We just failed

A DPS check

On Rabanastre

What in the fuck

[warped nest]

AOE targeting party members can pop the air bubble so be careful

[errant mesa]

The Ivalice raids are the hardest

[dire prawn]

We actually hit enrage on the first fight in this raid

How

[errant mesa]

Maybe tied with the Nier stuff

[warped nest]

Thundergod

That one was fun

But man, so many damn mechanics

[errant mesa]

I'm scared to queue for alliance roulette now

Wait until you get to the numbers one

[hybrid arrow]

Heya, having a few issues with connection suddenly. Was fine for a couple days of gameplay with only a few minor hiccups, but now suddenly everytime I login, im almost immediately DCing and unable to do anything without incurring a 5-10 second delay before inevitably being booted off server, started last night when starting to guard a guardian quest, and nothing seems to be helping solve it lol

[warped nest]

Yeah, it should be kill frogs for air bubble

But don't let boss AOE break bubbles

[tall mountain]

this mechanic makes me scared for humanity

[errant mesa]

If they didn't drop your hp it would be a literal nightmare

But they do so its ezpz

[vital quest]

Its an issue with the underwater cables so unless you vpn to hopefully route through a different cable theres nothing you can really do

[forest sage]

trying to figure out if 214819hp is a prime number or not lol

[warped nest]

Well, if they only ask us to make our health into multiples of 3 and 5

[tall mountain]

and primes

[hybrid arrow]

Not what I expected to hear haha, thats spicy

[errant mesa]

Lotta ways they coulda went worse with it

[storm cosmos]

how do I make a job image the /micon ? I tried /micon "PLD"

[errant mesa]

Honestly that sniper boss cutscene was fly

[forest sage]

yeah they make your hp small so the calculation are easy but ppl still fail them regularly though

[errant mesa]

One thing I actually remember from the whole raid

[warped nest]

Can't, you only have 5 choices: 0, +1, +2, +3, +4

Not enough to change 5 digit numbers into prime numbers

[tall mountain]

you can only make the white gearset icon, with /micon “Paladin” classjob

[warped nest]

Which job image are you referring to specifically?

[storm cosmos]

ah there it is, ty

[rigid pivot]

If you queue before the roulette reset, but it doesn't pop until after, which day does it count as?

[tall mountain]

the day you finish it

[warped nest]

It counts when you finished it

[meager sigil]

Can you just run floors 51-60 of Palace of the Dead to farm for Aetherpool gear and then take that gear to higher levels?

[warped nest]

Yes

[tall mountain]

you can indeed

[meager sigil]

Neat.

[tall mountain]

although obviously if you’re going for high gear levels, you’re gonna fail to upgrade a lot at lower floors

[rigid pivot]

Kk, thanks

[silver lintel]

is it impossible to catch HQ fish now too?

[forest sage]

yeah the upgrade is based on the floor vs your current aetherpool levels, so while you can 99/99 at 51-60, it's slow as shit past like 80

[tall mountain]

all gathering classes no longer can get HQ materials

[forest sage]

no, but there's Large Size catches which act the same, just without a different item

[tall mountain]

large size doesn’t affect quest turnins though does it?

or crafting?

[warped nest]

Skills that requires HQ or messes with HQ are different now

[forest sage]

like if you catch large size you can Mooch it, and it gives some new ressource

[warped nest]

Nope

[forest sage]

nope it all ends up being NQ fishes in your bag

it's just for the purpose of the skills like mooch and angler's arts

[silver lintel]

yeah i thought so, i just wanted to make sure before lowering all the quality of fish to make room in my retainer

[warped nest]

!action mooch

[zinc orbit]

**Mooch** : lvl 25 FSH (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Uses certain large-sized fish already hooked to your line to attract even greater prey.

Powered by XIVAPI

[tall mountain]

ah yeah that’s absolutely fine, you have no reason to keep HQ anymore

[warped nest]

@silver lintel maybe you can keep it and later in 2031, the HQ fish will get a new item description

[forest sage]

ah didn't notice the description is even more confusing now

[tall mountain]

except for collector’s sake

[warped nest]

"the fabled fish of certain quality from a different time"

Something like that

[meager sigil]

How long would it usually take to queue for parties between 51-100 of PotD?

[forest sage]

cause it's specifically large catches, and not necessarily large fishes, would be nice if it had colors or whatever

51-60 should be instant/near instant, any higher tend to be pretty slow

you can make a PF to find ppl willing to go up to 100 though, or you can technically solo it, 100 is relatively easy if you play like a tank, healer or rdm

[warped nest]

I want to assume that there are discord for potd/hoh players

[meager sigil]

Ah, that's a shame. I wanted to clear floor 100 to get the Kinna Sickle, it'd be an amazing glam piece for my reaper.

[warped nest]

Like doing them seriously

[forest sage]

yeah make a PF and you'll likely find ppl who want the same thing

[meager sigil]

That's a good point, I'll check the Balance.

[warped nest]

Perhaps you want to consider joining those?

[forest sage]

or again, can solo if you want to put in some time

[warped nest]

Both potd and hoh reaper weapon looks pretty nice

I won't be surprised that once everyone stopped crying from the story, they'd be freed up to grind weapons for glam

[meager sigil]

I found one.

[warped nest]

@meager sigil good luck and have fun

[meager sigil]

Cheers.

Also, one more quick question: if I go into a deep dungeon as one class, I can still get the weapon of another right? For example, if I cleared floor 100 with my DRK, I'd still be able to acquire the weapon for RPR, is that so?

[tall mountain]

yup

aetherpool grips/armor are class agnostic

you get them and can use them with whatever

[crystal otter]

What's the best way to get spiritbond up quick? I need a lot of grade 1 materia

[naive ridge]

meld as much materia on the gear as you can

use + spiritbond items. FC buff/squadron scroll, superior spiritbonding potion and better crowned pies

why do you need grade 1 materia though?

[modest igloo]

arr relic

if you're FT thats the only way to get more materia

[barren rock]

Does anyone else have poor connection today? Mine is usually excellent but today has been really laggy for me

[modest igloo]

JP servers got rolled by a undersea cable getting rekt

[naive ridge]

then I would recommend to hold off doing relic until you want to start to sub, materia is dirt cheap

[broken fable]

Godzilla rolled over

[leaden ginkgo]

Can't all buttons have combinations on hotbar? i wanted to make right click + 1 be a key on the hotbar, even tried mouse 4 and 5. Pretty much just shift and control have combinations

[naive ridge]

slowly spiritbonding grade 1 materia is not worth the trouble

[barren rock]

Darn, servers cant catch a break

[modest igloo]

i mean i answered the question tell them that yourself

idk if it was for that

just guessed it

[leaden ginkgo]

Past couple days been able to play at day as a free trial. People have families so less peeps play.

[crystal otter]

Was in a dungeon soz, I'm trying to get the sphere scroll thing, and the only thing I can put on it at first is grade 1 materia

[naive ridge]

grade 1 materia shouldnt be expensive

if you have access to a market board just buy the cheapest one the stats dont matter now

[velvet canopy]

Are the shiva weapons the only ice type weapons ingame?

For glamour

[warped nest]

Yeah, glowing weapon wise, only shiva

Zurvan weapon is ice and fire

[normal sand]

If have all battle effects of everyone turn off, can i still see there limit break animations?

[forest sage]

LB are shown yes

[warped nest]

Oh, so no one can escape rdm's glorious LB3?

I strongly recommend making party member battle effect Limited

This way you can still see healing or barrier bubbles

[forest sage]

yeah limited already hides pretty much all the crap

[slate arrow]

Limit breaks are not limited by your party effect choices

[tight plinth]

How do you start a squadron mission? The Sergeant isnt letting me

[crystal otter]

Free trial ;-;

[forest sage]

you need 4 recruits probably?

[tight plinth]

ohh i see ty

[naive ridge]

if you intend to continue into a sub, I would just leave it for later. the stats dont matter and it just much easier just buying it off the Market board. its not worth the effort to spiritbond the materia yourself

[crystal otter]

Fair enough I guess

[forest sage]

I forgot if you can use crafting materias for this, if you can getting 1 and 2 should be easy by just spamming quick synth on items made with vendor mats

you'll spiritbind crafting gear then get low tier materias, I guess you could throw them in the transmuter to get combat out of them if you do need combat

[naive ridge]

you can also look into Heavensward relics if you want a shiny weapon more poetics heavy than requiring items from the MB

[naive ridge]

i dont quite remember but wasnt there a stats menu like in the HW relic?

if so i dont think you can

[vocal spoke]

Do we know where the servers are located ?
Geographically I mean, wondering why I'm getting a good connection on Primal or Ather but not on Crystal

[patent citrus]

same building afaik

[dapper oyster]

people still doing zadnor at level 80 and above, is it better than normal dungeon?

[patent citrus]

[floral stump]

Is it possible to solo Alexander - The Burden of the Son (Savage) Unsynced? If not, how many level 90s would I need?

[patent citrus]

back then lv 80, 3 people

[floral stump]

I tried running but end up getting that Charmin' ultra wipe on the 2nd phase

[patent citrus]

but it takes time to finish

with 8 x lv 80, it melted <1 min

but you stay till everyone finish theirs

[floral stump]

Alrighty, thanks

[hard hazel]

hello,i played this game(trial) some time ago on my ps5,can i now play it on my pc? from steam or from the official site? or is this not possible at the moment with the temporary sales hold?
thx in advance

[patent citrus]

yeah

afaik for free trial it's shared across all platform already

however I never tried it myself, maybe wait a little bit

till someone knew can answer

[hard hazel]

good :)

[slate arrow]

No, the free trial is once per account

You can't transfer to a different platform without purchasing the game

@hard hazel

Unless they changed it but I'm not aware of such a change occuring

[hard hazel]

sow i need to play it on my ps5 and once it is in sale againe i can play on pc or?

[slate arrow]

correct

[hard hazel]

and once in sale i can play further,keep my progress on all platforms?

[slate arrow]

Correct

[forest lark]

Well, I started on ps4, played there for about a year before I transferred to PC version and you keep all your stuff, it's just different platform. You don't have to start a new character if you switch platform if that's what you're wondering

[fiery cairn]

is there a server where people mount farm

[forest lark]

And progress you make on your free trial account carries over to when you purchase game

I saw people leveling all jobs to level 60 (that's maximum for free trial I think?) before they purchase the game, cause when you purchase the game, you get 30 days sub come with it

[errant mesa]

Hol up

You're telling me gsm doesn't get DoL accessories at 90?

[hard hazel]

nice,thank you verry much for info :)

[restive yarrow]

Why does my adventurer squadron keep failing missions? I'm trying to get them to finish the mission to rank up to 3 but they failed multiple times so I thought that I should give them a much lower level one so they would complete it and get xp but then they failed the lower level one too! what am I doing wrong here?

[errant mesa]

Look at their stat totals

[patent citrus]

for the flagged mission

you need to have 100% chance ( meet all 3 stats )

for non-flagged you can satisfy 2, then have 66% success

[restive yarrow]

Oooooh i see

[patent citrus]

if only 1, 33%

[restive yarrow]

Thanks

[shut kelp]

How is trusts for leveling 70 to 80 compared to bozja?

[errant mesa]

Not sure but you get some unique lore and such

[modest igloo]

worse

trusts are more or less there for if you dont like people and/or queues

but they are slower than normal players

[sinful mesa]

So Im installing the game again, going to start a new character on a new server. How is healer on leveling? Its the one role ive never tried but im guessing since MSQ is solo it can be a lil bit of a pain. Would you guys suggest I play through as a DPS first then level a healer later down the line or jump right in with one

[modest igloo]

jump right in

[patent citrus]

any

just get your chocobo out all the time

[errant mesa]

Uh can they even play again with it being locked

[sinful mesa]

In MMOs ive tried DPS/Tank but never healer.

[sinful mesa]

Please dont tell me I just bought sub for nothing

[solemn jewel]

If u already own the game ur fine

Also u can easily do msq as healer

[sinful mesa]

I do. I own the game + the first 2 xpacs

[naive ridge]

healers have fast queues

[solemn jewel]

Ye ur gucci

[naive ridge]

not hard to start with

[errant mesa]

Tanks faster tho

I will say lore wise being a healer just didn't make as much sense compared to any other class but it doesn't matter that much in the end

[solemn jewel]

I did msq as a healer up until ew and idk what u mean

[errant mesa]

Referring to ||Zenos||

[solemn jewel]

So?

Healers can punch

Afflatus Misery exists

[errant mesa]

His whole shtick doesn't really make a lot of sense if your whole class revolves around healing

[solemn jewel]

I mean

Ffxiv healers focus on dmg in most cases

[naive ridge]

white mages caused a calamity lol

[solemn jewel]

U heal if there's no other way

[errant mesa]

I guess if you want to headcanon it as outhealing the attrition that's one way of spinning it

Dunno all I'm saying is facing off against Voldemort as a Samurai is far cooler than being armed with a book

[solemn jewel]

Again, the entire playstyle of healer is getting out as much dmg as possible and never wasting a GCD on a heal

[naive ridge]

White magic isnt just about healing though

[errant mesa]

They'll find out soon enough what they prefer and want to do, little point arguing more about it

[chrome talon]

Hello guys! Have the queues always been like this? Or is it just now cause EW released? Can we expect to get into game without queues later on? Just started playing the game but the queues are killing me, i can play for like 1h a day tops

[errant mesa]

Depends on your server and time zone

[formal depot]

whats the highest ilvl stuff rn?

[modest igloo]

580

[sinful mesa]

Yeah im torn between playing a healer or the other two were Ninja or Dragoon

[formal depot]

where and how can i get it pls : )

[errant mesa]

580

[modest igloo]

normal raid or ex drops

lvl 90

[leaden ginkgo]

Healer is awesome

He does good in MSQ, Every class in FF14 is a DPS

[errant mesa]

Aphorism tomes, raid, or ex for right side

[midnight tinsel]

and bought crafted gear

[formal depot]

whats ex

[modest igloo]

next week we'll have 590 and 600 gear from the savage fights

[midnight tinsel]

extreme

[errant mesa]

Just dive in and get a feel for it. All classes can dps but peeps are delusional if they think a samurai rotation or toolset is the same as a scholar's

[formal depot]

oh ok thx for the help

[errant mesa]

I personally liked dragoon a lot, especially how their story overlaps a bit in the first expansion, but no reason to stick with one

[midnight tinsel]

you can do one for msq and one for endgame / group content

felt more immersive to me atleast

[errant mesa]

MSQ gives a ridiculous amount of xp anyway, so you can easily get two classes to 90

[midnight tinsel]

not really

if you just do msq

youll get problems from shb onwards

[errant mesa]

In both expansions I had to switch to a secondary class or bite the bullet for the final msw of each

[midnight tinsel]

only the stuff before gives enough exp to level multiples just through msq

[sinful mesa]

That sounds like a great idea. Im not sure which to start. Healer seems appealing but im not sure how much fun ill hvae with it

ive never tried it so hah

[errant mesa]

With some conscientious duty roulette usage, maintaining both is fine

[midnight tinsel]

just pick up conjurer and you can try healing from level 10 onwards

if you wanna see if its for you

[sinful mesa]

Then if its not its a short grind and a switch right?

[errant mesa]

Your first dungeon is at 15, minus guildhest content

Right

[midnight tinsel]

yes

guildhest is at level 10

or you start arcanist then you get both a dps class and healer at 30

that level together

[errant mesa]

Yeah but he might not like the summoner or scholar styles

[sudden dock]

does the wondrous tails get updated (with the gold certificate) when you reach level 90, finish endwalker, or is it after a certain number of weeks after expansion comes out?

[errant mesa]

But it is efficient to use both as one class

[midnight tinsel]

you can say that for everything not sure why even mention that

[errant mesa]

Because leveling a class to 30 is a higher commitment than to 15 and a dungeon?

[forest sage]

I think it's when you take it with a 81+ class, although not entirely sure

[midnight tinsel]

well you can argue that classes are so bare bones that you cant say if you like them at 15 anyway

since they miss so much

[leaden ginkgo]

I have a question about home world transfer, if I am currently married and I server hop but my partner don't, would that be a problem?

[errant mesa]

Killing trash mobs isn't really representative of the class, but light party content is at least an idea

Maybe not of the future job, but at least the broad strokes of what the role will entail

[manic crest]

i know that the game isnt back on sale yet but has there been any talk about allowing free trial users to upgrade?

[midnight tinsel]

you only really get that at level 30 for most jobs anyway

[narrow jay]

You will not be able to teleport to each other with your bond ring, unless one of you is visiting the other's server.

[leaden ginkgo]

I see but otherwise it doesn't cause an issue

in other words, we can remain married

[dapper oyster]

How good bozjan compared to level 80 and above dungeon in term of exp?
Saw people on bozjan keep grinding for exp after 80

[midnight tinsel]

before the dungeon exp buff it was decent

now i wouldnt do it with something with fast qeues

but its probably worth ti till 81 anyway to start dungeons

[errant mesa]

Can also do fate farming

[cosmic pilot]

Are there any recommended ways to farm shards? Or a spot to mine it

[dapper oyster]

Ah ok

[cosmic pilot]

A spot where the nodes are close to each other, for example

[errant mesa]

Two main ways: market board or mining it yourself

Market board you just make money with other ways

[cosmic pilot]

I see

I want to raise Culinarian. Just tried it. Seems fun 😂

[errant mesa]

You're already out of shards?

Doing your class quests should sustain you for a good long while

[cosmic pilot]

Not yet. I mean, in the long run and I haven’t done any of the class quests since the beginning. Just clearing culinary log

I still have shards left from my previous mining

Can we “downgrade” a crystal and clusters

[errant mesa]

Oh well your needs will change from shards to crystals to clusters

I don't think so

But gathering is the same, you use the one ability to boost gain

[cosmic pilot]

Yep, that I know. Is there a best mining spot? Where the nodes are in close proximity than other spots

Also does Steps in cooking matter?

[errant mesa]

From my botany experience only thing I've noticed is that the nodes get paired up in the EW zones, but unfortunately are pretty distant everywhere else

Steps?

[left moth]

if have a fc house can also grow them with g3 soil (max yeld) in exchange for a day

[cosmic pilot]

I forgot what do we call it. Turns?

[errant mesa]

Oh how long it takes?

No it doesn't matter

[cosmic pilot]

I see

[errant mesa]

Mostly limited on durability and CP

[cosmic pilot]

Also what do we gain if our food in excellent condition?

[errant mesa]

That's just a quality bonus

So you use a touch action for the best usage

[cosmic pilot]

Wdym?

[errant mesa]

Excellent and good are statuses that affect your quality gains if you use a touch ability on that turn

[cosmic pilot]

So like we get extra HQ bar or more quantity when it’s done?

Ahhh okay

[tight plinth]

Best melee dps currently?

[errant mesa]

The effect is immediate

But you have to use the ability or you miss it

[patent citrus]

the one you play better

[cosmic pilot]

Why there is an action that only can be used on good or excellent and turn it into normal then?

[patent citrus]

the one you enjoy playing

[errant mesa]

Wdym

[tight plinth]

Physical white mage it is 👍

[errant mesa]

When you craft, items randomly go through phases of normal/good/excellent

[left moth]

good is a 50% bonus to a quality action, and excellent is a 100% bonus (and always is poor the step after that for -50%). that can be stacked with great strides with some luck. edit: it's usually not worth fishing for a good/ex compared to strides > blessing to consume inner quiet stacks

[errant mesa]

Using an ability that boosts quality on those steps will multiply the skill

[tight plinth]

I have a staff and I'm not afraid to bonk you with it

[errant mesa]

That's a knife

[tight plinth]

shhhh, thats a special tool that will help us later 😉

[cosmic pilot]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Tricks_of_the_Trade that one

I just read it and it trade quality for cp

[errant mesa]

Yeah, if you need cp for something critical

Like using master's mend to avoid failing the synthesis

[cosmic pilot]

I see

[errant mesa]

A lot of abilities are situational

[cosmic pilot]

What’s the best food for SAM rn? Endgame ones

[cosmic pilot]

Thanks, mate. Sorry for the questions. I can’t open FFXIV rn and really just started Culinarian today

[errant mesa]

Crafting's fun but CUL is one of the more intricate ones that don't necessarily pay off

It does with niche foods and raid food, but the journey might find yourself a bit shorter on change than you'd like

[left moth]

for crit dependent jobs Cod chowder (if cant meld direct). otherwise sykon bavarois

[cosmic pilot]

Yeah, I heard it’s because the market really convoluted(?) is that the right word?

[cosmic pilot]

Thanks! How about for Reaper?

[errant mesa]

It's just the nature of the class and what it makes

[left moth]

yeah there's almost no profit in current end content food

[errant mesa]

It might take 6 ingredients to make something for the log but 3 items for a comparable recipe that sells for 100x more

For another class*

[cosmic pilot]

On the other hand, is there a basic guide for Tank? Like when to use damage reduce or increase parry and such

[left moth]

reaper is same (bavarois) since it has direct baked into the job

[errant mesa]

Good practice is to always have one mitigation up

Hall of the Novice is a good starting point for the basics, as are guildhests

[cosmic pilot]

How about when doing massive pull?

[errant mesa]

You stack reprisal, arm's length, regen, and a mitigation

[cosmic pilot]

I see

[errant mesa]

It's class dependent but the gist is the same

[cosmic pilot]

I was trying Tank on command quests so it won’t bother other

[left moth]

most of rotating tank miti is having one up at a time (rampart or similar long cd). to the wall pulls you want to pop arms legnth also to slow down the rate of incoming physical attacks

[cosmic pilot]

Wall pulls = massive pull?

[errant mesa]

Reprisal lowers damage by 10%, mitigation mitigates, and arm's length is the crucual slow yeah.

[left moth]

maybe reprisal also but that's if dps are picking their nose

[cosmic pilot]

I thought arms’ length is to prevent knockback only 😅

[errant mesa]

At 50 you get your last stand ability which shouldn't get used too often in random matchups but shit happens

It is

But it also inflicts a slow on all enemies hitting you

[cosmic pilot]

I see

[left moth]

to the wall is the phrase of choice for pulling everything until the game forces you to kill the mobs in order to progress (sometimes a literal wall but usually a door or another barrier)

[errant mesa]

Dungeons are very hit or miss with how many groups you can kill at once

[cosmic pilot]

Yeah, I wonder how tank can survive those 😂

[errant mesa]

Those are where everyone does their job

Dps does their aoe, healer does their thing, and tank holds out

[left moth]

as opposed to some of the weirder pull options that aren't popular in dungeon design (aurum vale's first room where can pull everything and deliberately die right at the boss barrier. if dps ignored the mobs they will reset and you can ignore everything since mobs dont give xp anymore)

[cosmic pilot]

Is there anything unlock-able when you reached the rank of captain in grand company?

[errant mesa]

Yes

The 20k seal boxes

[cosmic pilot]

That’s it?

I thought more items are unlocked

[midnight tinsel]

people calling you captain = D

[errant mesa]

The boxes are pretty compelling from their description

20k for a random minion iirx

[cosmic pilot]

Aaah, nice one

[midnight tinsel]

minion or mount

[tall mountain]

you can also buy a couple more crafting materials

[errant mesa]

And seal cap goes up maybe?

[cosmic pilot]

I thought another 20k space to store our company currency

[tall mountain]

yup goes to 90k

[cosmic pilot]

I’ll try more command mission then. Not a fan of it

[errant mesa]

Nah it's 20k turn ins for a random minion box or a mount box

[cosmic pilot]

I’m bad at tanking

[errant mesa]

Don't worry, your squadron AI is even worse

[cosmic pilot]

Can we get mount from dungeons?

[errant mesa]

None come to mind, most are minions

[cosmic pilot]

Yeah .. Does SE at least fix their AI like in ShB at least?

[errant mesa]

I never did trust so not sure

Hopefully

[midnight tinsel]

i mean squadron ai is as dumb as you controll it

[errant mesa]

Yeah but they also ignore mechanics basically so you're handholding them the whole time

[left moth]

the trust ai is a lot better but it's still dumb as rocks some times (it's programmed for a certain clear time so they absolutely wont aoe, but will revert to one shotting things if it's going too slow)

[narrow jay]

Trust AI are rudimentary, but they do at least move out of damage mechanics so typically you don't need to babysit them. They can also function in all ShB/EW leveling dungeons, and currently one trial as well.

[errant mesa]

I also read that they don't even AOE

[narrow jay]

Sometimes.

[midnight tinsel]

squadron do have aoe

trust are more limited

in that respect

[narrow jay]

It depends on what's in their skill set. But they don't spam it like players do.

[tall mountain]

Trusts want to keep your clear time about half an hour

[solemn jewel]

Urianger has Gravity

[tall mountain]

So they do less damage if you’re going faster than that

And more if slower

[errant mesa]

That's kinda dumb tbh

[narrow jay]

They also have certain interactions. For example, Thancred functions better when Y'shtola is in the party.

[left moth]

engage spam archers (gc squad) was removed to people having too much fun

[errant mesa]

So what happens if you afk

[solemn jewel]

Urianger as well. Both of em

[left moth]

if you afk trust ai characters will afk too (as long as dont get idle kicked out of instance)

[tall mountain]

No idea, presumably it’s about half an hour of combat time give or take

[errant mesa]

I meant in terms of clear time

Hmm

[left moth]

oh, not sure then might be based on time in combat

[tall mountain]

And I imagine they have an upper limit on how much damage they can do

If you aren’t contributing damage they’re only going to do so much themselves

[left moth]

i know yshola will cast death after a certain point

so might be ties to combat time and not dungeon timer

[errant mesa]

Shit's taking too long let's go

[narrow jay]

Alisaie will also steal your limit break every chance she gets.

She's even prepull cast it once, which blew my mind.

[hallow crypt]

been waiting for at least 180 minutes+ a day trying to find edens' gate sepulture (savage) party for the last 3 days. any way to find a party other than duty and party finder?

[left moth]

old savage content generally have to do in pf. only jp datacenters will use raid finder as intended

[solemn jewel]

Estninien gives a few more seconds to snag limit break but he will use it if u wait too long

[mint fjord]

probably better off posting in some recruitment discords and getting a party together through that and agreeing a time to clear the content rather than relying on people to just randomly join PF

and also with duty finder you'll only find people queueing mentor roulette and they probably will abandon duty when it pops

[hard aurora]

where do we exchange our outdated poetics from shb

tomestones rather

[austere blade]

Can you get aphorism tomestones from bozja fates?

[verbal rune]

Meanwhile Alisae goes brr

[solemn jewel]

Auriana in mor dhona

[forest sage]

no you get poetics in bozja

Bummer, ty

Hello guys , i have a question related to subscriptions and accounts who want to transfer from a FFXIV free account to a paid one:

Recently i've started to play with my gf , she started as a free account in Mac, but she moved to PC and now for some reason she can't play (tho i seen people with Free accounts still playing in the servers) we wanted to buy a starter edition but sells are still suspended so i want to ask...

Will she be able to still play with her character? she created it on Mac and im not sure if the PC license maintains that?
How we should buy the license so she can use in her free account? all leads that she wont be able to maintain the account and have to create a new character :c it's there any form to avoid that?

Thank you o/

[barren granite]

oh they will one shot trash mobs ? lol

[solemn jewel]

I think it's one trial per service account. She can probably still play on her mac trial

[cursive raptor]

Thank you Sasha! the thing it's that she cant play right now :/

But we don't know exactly why so i understand it's either that she played in Mac and now PC or

[left moth]

wiki says trusts aim for 30 min clears so they just increase dps or one shot (the lowest health enemy currently engaged)

[forest sage]

there is some degree of variance

like you can go slightly faster or a fair bit slower but yeah they'll slow down DPS if you're doing too much so can never get them super fast

[left moth]

yeah. my experience is the slowing down part since i've tried to do the same dps as if i was in a human party

[amber kayak]

do we need current tome aphorism for anything related to new tome released with savage? like exchange for it

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey everyone, hope you peeps are doing well :D

Was just wondering about the new summoner rework, I just logged on for the first time in months and I'm so overwhelmed with all these changes ahah, how am I supposed to summon Ifrit? Having trouble trying to get my head around the new trance gauge thingies and stuff like that, any help is appreciated 😄

[left moth]

the current tome will be used for crafting mats once we get a weekly locked tome

[amber kayak]

oh gotcha, thanks!

[barren granite]

whats the cmd to dive in water ?

[forest sage]

ctrl space default iirc?

[barren granite]

yup ty

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok. How do I play this on ps5? I’ve never owned any of the FF games. Go. (:

[solemn jewel]

Well currently you can't

[left moth]

playstation license is seperate from pc so the general idea is to link the psn account with mogstation, and get a copy on psn and that's about it (aside from psn link being more or less permanent)

[cursive raptor]

Uhh :c will that work with Mac to PC as well? im worried we cant use the same service account with the starter edition

[left moth]

mac to pc should work the same although can just slap a code in mogstation (as opposed to license management done via psn)

[cursive raptor]

oof :c i hope it works , thank you!

[leaden ginkgo]

This couldn’t be more confusing

Why sell DLCs on ps5 if the game is unplayable

[left moth]

just avoid the steam trap (starting the pc license on steam limits expansions to be only bought on steam)

[cursive raptor]

Oh no no , i won't fall into that XD

[solemn jewel]

For people who already own base game

[hot eagle]

since ppl could own the game allrdy and want the expansion

[cursive raptor]

I bought my license in PC so i could avoid steam for this

[solemn jewel]

They stopped selling complete and starter edition for time being, existing players can still buy the dlc

[ruby tundra]

Is there a Dispell Spell for BLU?

[leaden ginkgo]

Sheesh.

So it’s unplayable for new users?

[barren granite]

[leaden ginkgo]

Well by the looks of it it’s unplayable due to player demand, servers can’t keep up. I’ll just wait

[warm snow]

Obligatory

[leaden ginkgo]

Appreciate the help guys

haha first time i seen this :0

You eventually know the number?

[warm snow]

Just Google it

It's from sea of clouds

Near OK zundu

i prolly have it
But the german names are mostly absolutely different

Cure potency is increased to 300 when you are under the effect of Aetherial Mimicry: Healer.

This spell enhances the body's natural detoxification processes, stimulating organs and the growth of new tissue. Perhaps due to it having originated with wamourae, it feels much like shedding an old layer of scales.

Oh thx a lot
Only missing like 5 spells, so that was actually helpfull 😄

[barren granite]

ya if you are hyunting BLU spells, best keep up that url which tells you exactly the MAP coord foir spells.

[warm snow]

Because its a healing spell you need to do damage to another enemy so the actual monster casts it on them

[little fulcrum]

does it heal itself?

[ruby tundra]

Uhm, okay It's actually not what i was looking for :X

Is there one that removes Buffs from enemies?

[warm snow]

No

And no

[barren granite]

it may but rarelyu

[warm snow]

It only removes debuffs from self

Removes one beneficial effect from all nearby enemies.

Blue Magic

The empuse generates its Eerie Soundwave by rapidly vibrating parts of its body, emitting an unsettling tone that can only be described as “gods-awful.” Said tone can, however, be harnessed by the mage to disrupt certain harmonious aetherial frequencies and nullify their beneficial effects.

[storm cosmos]

when do the bicolor gemstone traders that don't let you trade at the start, let you?

[forest sage]

I don't think there's anything that requires this though, it does make one of the phase of carnival easier but you can just heal through it too

max rank in every region

they even tell you when you click them

oh lol didnt notice, thanks

every region of that expansion that is

Hi guys, any one knows how to do the dafangshi spearfishing for job quest with the reworked spearfishing?

[green grail]

probably the same? they just reworked the minigame but the shadow mechanic or whatever should be the same as before

get a bunch of ichtyosaurs and another node should appear

[reef delta]

I think Im getting the node to spawn but unable to get dafangshi from it

[green grail]

you need to have the fsh quest active and there's a few different fish at the node according to gamerescape so just keep trying ig

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Fishing_Log:_The_Sunken_Junk's_South_Side

[reef delta]

do gig heads matter? I dont see anything to change em

[green grail]

nope, you can't change them anymore

[reef delta]

thanks for the link

I didnt have truth of oceans active. Got em after activating it

[abstract plaza]

when should i glamour my stuff? right now i am level 51

[solemn jewel]

Whenever u want

[covert marlin]

why are i110 dungeons showing this for augmented ironworks and shire gear?

shouldn't ironworks be synced too because they're i130?

[green grail]

not all dungeons have ilvl sync, but all have level sync

[little fulcrum]

it's cosmetic, there's no should or should not for this :))
However, I will judge your cosmetics if I see it :))

[green grail]

so if it's level 50 gear it won't be synced if the dungeon doesn't have ilvl sync, but all 51+ gear will sync down to i130/135

[vestal smelt]

Where can I find Abalathian Rock Salt?

[abstract plaza]

problem is, i dont really wanna waste my glamour prisms since i dont really know how and where to get them

[vestal smelt]

I went to the sea of clouds spot but it didn't appear

[abstract plaza]

right now i have 12

[little fulcrum]

Unspoiled Nodes if I remember correctly

[vestal smelt]

Or Maybe I'm too low levelled? Cuz am lvl 53, when the spot's lvl 60

[little fulcrum]

yeah that could be the case also

get to lv55 at least

[open coral]

You can get more from your grand company for seals, or buy them off the market board

[vestal smelt]

Yeah. I googled the specific time too but it didn't appear

Ack

[leaden ginkgo]

im seeing a lot of nin mains didn't like the new ninja is it that bad ?

[little fulcrum]

You see things 5+ levels more than you

[fallow urchin]

Heya! May I ask if anyone knows if Firmament is going to be taken away?

[tall mountain]

nope

it’ll be left as is, and empyreum will be separate

[fallow urchin]

Ooohh alrighty. Thank you so much for answering! ^^

[cobalt pagoda]

did they stop allowing people to download FFXIV??????????

[tall mountain]

you can’t start new free trials

if that’s what you mean

[lament pilot]

they stopped new free trials and new fresh accounts.

[tall mountain]

(nor can you buy the game)

[cobalt pagoda]

no I have an account

[lament pilot]

if you already own the game you can download/buy endwalker

[tall mountain]

you should absolutely still be able to download it

what’s going wrong when you try?

[cobalt pagoda]

I can’t find it

0.0

[tall mountain]

!faq download

[zinc orbit]

Download FFXIV

https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/playersdownload/na/

[cobalt pagoda]

can’t find the bloody client download XD

XD

ok I admit it made me close the window when I saw how old the page looked XD

[tall mountain]

it’s vintage

[cobalt pagoda]

has any one been trying to install FFXIV

on linux? without the steam version

[barren granite]

is it compatable ?

[cobalt pagoda]

it is, the steam version not the other one

[barren granite]

coool. Can run it in a VM.

bare bones vm.

[cobalt pagoda]

I dual boot linux and windows

[barren granite]

im sure linux would run waaaay smoother anyways

does it ?

[cobalt pagoda]

hm I haven’t hear of it running to smoth on the non steam version, but the steam version does run not better that the pc one unfortunatly

[barren granite]

doesnt run better ?

[mint fjord]

steam version = pc version

it's just an account flag

and steam version you can pay for mogstation / store stuff using steam wallet

[tardy stump]

Is there a way to see my attribvutes in % instead of numbers?
Like I would like to know what 799 SkillSpeed is in % or Seconds.

[mint fjord]

but you can't enter square enix store expansion codes

[mint fjord]

what do you mean percentage

as in what they've dropped from default values?

[true jolt]

Can we check the stat of gear that is synced?

[narrow jay]

yes, just open the character pane

When you're synced, you'll see the synced stats.

[reef onyx]

Hello hello ! Just wanted to ask if hunting for hidden harvest is easier at higher levels or if it's the same low or high level

[true jolt]

I'll double check later cause i felt like the stats is "yellow" but number still same(?)

[tardy stump]

Exa,ples would be:

What's the percentage of my Crit due to having 1800 on Critical Hit or how many seconds does 700 Skill Speed affect.

[narrow jay]

We aren't sure about those values yet.

[tall mountain]

base game, that’s definitely not a thing

probably a mod/plug-in that does it, not sure though

[narrow jay]

The actual formulae are kept server-side and hidden by SE on purpose, so it takes a while for players to retro-engineer the values experimentally.

However, you can see the direct affect of skill speed on your recast time.

[tardy stump]

oh...right... xd

Didn't think about that haha
thanks for the hint xd

[sinful mesa]

Can I change my hairstyle at a later date for free or do i have to pay real moey?

[tardy stump]

You can change it for 2000gil or some kind of "hair change coupon" in an inn.

[sinful mesa]

Oh nice! Thank you

[tardy stump]

Ah, forgot to mention that you need to unlock him first. It's a blue quest, I think it was for Lv. 15 and Upper Limsa. Quick google search will help you more xd

[fleet moth]

does anyone know of a good guide to how to level squadrons and manage their stats? I'm really overwhelmed by the whole Training and stat gains and reductions and everything..

[warm snow]

It's a very fun quest

[flat basalt]

Is it worth Lowering the quality on fish before desynthesizing? And how do I see my culinary desynthesize level?

[fleet moth]

All your desynth levels can be seen in the character window, on thte Classes/Jobs tab

[flat basalt]

Thanks

[fleet moth]

go to DoH/DoL and select the individual crafter and it'll show up at the bottom

[flat basalt]

Is it worth desynt fish vs selling on auction house? I got like 50 different fish, hard to know which sells better

[fleet moth]

oh or just click on one of the DoH and it'll bring up the desynth levels of all of them.. i didnt know that 😮

[flat basalt]

I can't sell HQ fish on the auction house, so I should lower its quality, but is it better to desynth HQ items vs lower quality items?

[civic spoke]

Which quest in EW will I need to have completed the role quests by?

[solemn jewel]

None

[fleet moth]

role quests are optional in endwalker

[narrow jay]

Don't overthink it, tbh. The only things you really need to know are:

• for Flagged missions, you need to have all three stat totals above the minimum to pass; otherwise you won't be able to attempt it at all.
• for all other missions, each stat above the minimum gives an additive 1/3 chance of success, so even if you don't meet all three, your squadron still may succeed

Beyond that, squadrons are old content that has since been set aside by SE, so treat it more as a fun thing instead of a thing-to-be-fantastic-at.

[serene steppe]

So as far as I underdstand levelling Crafter and Gatherers in EW
You should alternate between Studium quests and Leves every level, right?

[civic spoke]

Ohh, cool, thank you

[solemn jewel]

They only give dyeable af gear

[civic spoke]

Will I need to complete them for artifact gear though?

Ahh, thanks

[fleet moth]

only to dye the gear

[civic spoke]

What about regular gear?

[solemn jewel]

The af gear u get in msq

[civic spoke]

Nice thank you

[serene steppe]

^

[fleet moth]

thanks for this.. i'm trying to do the lv 50 Flagged mission so i can get the final GC rank, but they're not high leveled enough, they're only 45, and one stat is too low... So i tried to do other missions to level them up, but its saying they're going to fail them all because of their stats @-@

So i guess i should just spam the training board for awhile?

[serene steppe]

Also can you still do Studium turn-ins after conpleting the storyline or is it limited?

[leaden ginkgo]

does queen overdrive active by itself or i should Manually press it

[serene steppe]

It does

[leaden ginkgo]

so i just summon the queen and thats it ?

[chrome talon]

How do you join a grand company?

[narrow jay]

Stick with the 25/30 level quests, and yeah, boost them with the training board a bit. You can only get a finite total boost from the training board, so ... just keep leveling them.

[serene steppe]

Continue MSQ

[fleet moth]

it'll happen in the msq, you cant miss it 😛

[leaden ginkgo]

also should i summon the queen when my gauge is 50 or 100

[chrome talon]

Ah alright, thanks 😄 i want that mount already lol

[narrow jay]

I think I passed my lv50 Flagged mission when most of my squadron was almost or at level 60, if I remember right.

[serene steppe]

More gauge = more damage

[fleet moth]

ah ok.. so on my training board, its not reducing any stats yet, its just gaining stats.. so that means i havent reached the "finite amount" of stat gains from the board yet right?

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[narrow jay]

nod

[fleet moth]

thanks so much @narrow jay

[serene steppe]

Does anyone know?

Like is there post storyline turn ins or is it done permanently?

[fleet moth]

sorry, i havent messed with my crafters or gathers yet this expansion :x im assuming it'd work the same way the turn ins worked in Shadowbringers though

[topaz basin]

Usually whats the price of asking a crafter to overmeld my gear? Depend on the server or is there a set price?

[honest anvil]

queen dmg is the same regardless of battery level

[ember magnet]

what's up with this

[honest anvil]

the gear piece has capped on crit

so those materia arent giving any stats

[ember magnet]

oh

shit there's caps

[honest anvil]

find people who do that for free …

your fc should have some nice enough people …

if not find a new fc

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it worth it to run one MSQ roulette just to get to lvl 73 or not

[barren granite]

sure

[honest anvil]

i cant be paid to do another prae or castrum ever again …

[mint fjord]

yea just don't pay attention

[cyan kelp]

When you go to meld, on the bottom it'll show your stats and the max allowed amount for any given stat

[mint fjord]

go watch youtub while u do it

[leaden ginkgo]

Like honestly I don't want to be stuck in MSQ dungeon after I get to 73

But ok

[mint fjord]

don't do it then

I ain't ur boss

[barren granite]

get in that dam dungeon !

and whup 'er good

I have trouble finding a hunting linkshell - how do I proceed?

[tidal yarrow]

a friend of mine wanted to try the game but on the playstation store there.. just isn't the game available.
i know you can't purchase the game at the moment but i thought free trials were fine?

[leaden ginkgo]

does expedient stack with spirint ?

[whole ember]

if a collectible you gathered is under the first tier of turn in, i.e. mine is 493 but first tier is 600, is it just trash?

[serene steppe]

Free trials have been deactivated for the moment

They will very likely be reactivqted after the dust of Endwalker has settled

[tidal yarrow]

oh wow i see ty

[tropic flame]

no

[cyan kelp]

Yes

[wicked tartan]

Random weird question.. for the chocobo armor sets that are crafted from the extreme trial drops, can you mix and match them with other chocobo armor sets? Like if I want the Ixion set's headpiece and the Titania set's wings, which I assume are the main barding piece?

[misty hound]

thx

[mild marsh]

Did they change something about dungeon roulettes? I feel like I get ones close to my level exclusively now

[inland quarry]

Same actually

Last 4 dungeons were 70-80

[mild marsh]

I love it

[wicked tartan]

I had Brayflox this morning on my 84 samurai. It's possible they shifted the weighting though

[slate arrow]

more people are just queueing for endwalker

[fossil bloom]

for L60 crafters, is the ironworks crafting kit the best gear i can have for that level?

[wintry trellis]

I used that during my leveling through 60. Idk if it’s the preferred gearing but it’ll get you through to 70

[steel canopy]

Well it's generally hilariously expensive on the markets compared to getting 61 gear from the merchants... And even then I just went over in #beginner-lounge how crafting stuff for the job story quests is stupid easy (re: doable with lvl 55 gear comfortably)

[whole ember]

is there a list of fishing bait i should just carry at all times if i wanna do a lot of fishing and catch up on it in general, or somewhere i can go to just buy it en masse?

[steel canopy]

Well I had lucis tools but they're equivalent to lvl 57 tools.

[merry merlin]

Do ocean fishing, it uses the same three types of baits at all levels and is really chill

[steel canopy]

And frankly you could prolly just make do with the last bait you got from the job quest/bait from your local vendor

[whole ember]

ive pretty much only ocean fished, but id like to start actually fishing

[steel canopy]

*local meaning the area where you plan to fish.

[merry merlin]

Then I would suggest checking out the balance discord for fishing ressources. There is also a dedicated fisher discord called Fisherman's Horizon

[whole ember]

Thank you! While I'm at it, can anyone reccomend any other discords for specific parts of them game? I'm letting myself enjoy stuff that I never touched, and am trying to sponge as much info as i can

[steel canopy]

Vakarian basically is pointing you in the right direction.

What's the most efficient way to level to 80 outside of DRs and Bozja?

[merry merlin]

Spam the highest lvl dungeon iirc

WT turn in is half a level per week as well

[wintry trellis]

Bozja. Southern front can be about 6 hours or so for 10 levels depending on efficiency. Other than that’s it’s dungeons. You also have fairy beast tribe, wt, dailies.

But nothing is gonna be more efficient than speed running dungeons or bozja

Pvp can be a decent source of exp assuming you win, but usually people just do the daily pvp and go in to other stuff

[mighty crater]

tyty

[hearty fable]

is there anyway to know which dungeon is giving light bonus for ARR relic or is it still just trial and error?

[faint flare]

Trial and error

[hearty fable]

alright thank you

[boreal tree]

How do you book clap as SMN?

It is after you summoner Titan yeah? That skill doesn't show

With Garuda - slip stream it does
With Ifrit - it does too

Anyone?

[faint flare]

Use the gemshine

Then you get titans favour

It's an off global after the gemshine

[uncut quarry]

Question bout flying, when I first unlocked it, they mentioned something about aether currents and it being necessary to find them to fly, I don't think i've encountered any so far im currently in the latter half of arr patches almost into HW

was that something from a previous version that was changed?

[slate arrow]

no its an ARR only thing

[narrow jay]

You won't find any aether currents up until Heavensward areas actually start. Aether currents were added for flying with the start of the Heavensward expansion. Flying in ARR was unlocked only very recently so no aether currents exist for it.

Flying in ARR is unique in that regard, because the only requirement to unlock it in all ARR zones is "beat the ARR MSQ".

For everything else there's Mastercard you have a set of currents to find in the explorable area, and a set of currents given as quest rewards.

[astral rose]

Are free players still banned?

[narrow jay]

Banned is the wrong term.

Free trial accounts cannot log into the game if a login queue exists. That's always been the case.

[astral rose]

Ah didn't realize

[narrow jay]

Separately, because of the massive player load on the game servers due to various conditions, all means of acquiring a brand new account (free or paid) have been suspended so that no one signs up to play a game they can't get into.

[uncut quarry]

nope they never were, but yeah queues are calming down atleast in my case

im able to log in at what was usually the peak time

[fast talon]

if i want to show only the xp ive gained, what chat filter option is that?

[narrow jay]

The only experience gain you can see is yours and your chocobo companion....

[green grail]

system messages probably

[covert marlin]

what stats should I be prioritising for materia stage ARR relic?

[fast talon]

yeah i mean i wanted to isolate it that that's all i saw in a channel

that said i did find it

[narrow jay]

Doesn't matter.

[fast talon]

Own Progression Messages
under Announcements

[covert marlin]

does the stat get reshuffled at the end?

[twilit arch]

no, its that past relics are strictly for glam now

so it does't matter what stats you do

[fast talon]

any relic outside of current content (of which none currently exists) will have stats that dont matter because you shouldnt be using them, they're just for glam

[twilit arch]

just go with whatever materia is cheapest

[covert marlin]

ahh true, but I want it to be the best that it could be, if it makes sense haha even though I'm using it for glam only

gonna keep it as well

[twilit arch]

unless you have a stockpile of 1-4 materia for it

just go for whatever you can buy cheaply

[covert marlin]

I've been saving materia since I started playing so I think I have enough for 1 properly fitted relic

[fluid oracle]

where is the delivery moogle in limsa?

[twilit arch]

then priortize crit/dh/det

[twilit arch]

aftcastle

[carmine shell]

the minions every 4th raid only starts in sb?

[twilit arch]

been that ways since basically creator

[fluid oracle]

thank you, its so hard being a new player i can barely find anything and my unlucky google search results have been not great

[carmine shell]

?

oh

[twilit arch]

the final tier of alex

[carmine shell]

so not before that

[twilit arch]

coil didn't drop any minions and gordias/midas didn't drop minions either

[carmine shell]

and none of the alex tiers prior?

to creator

[twilit arch]

that would be gordias/midas

[carmine shell]

ah gotcha

alright cool

[twilit arch]

but they still kind of follow the rule though that its the 4th fight that drops "extra" stuff

[carmine shell]

yeah seems to be mats or card

[twilit arch]

gordias had a crafting item that made a minion, and midas had a crafting item for the striking dummy

[boreal storm]

But A8 doesn’t have a minion/mount
For reasons

[carmine shell]

wh ats a8?

alex 8?

[narrow jay]

yes

[carmine shell]

he just said nothing prior to creator

[narrow jay]

raids are typically referred to in shorthand like that

[twilit arch]

A4S does drop a mount, like A12S

[carmine shell]

yeah

[green grail]

and a8s has a minion

[twilit arch]

oh right

faustlet is strictly savage

forgot that

[carmine shell]

the pattern after that seems to be minion every fourth in normal and mount in savage

[twilit arch]

that was essentially standardize with stormblood

[green grail]

the minions drop in savage too, at least did with omega and eden

[boreal storm]

And will likely stay that way with pande

[carmine shell]

yeah they do

[twilit arch]

in that the 4th fight has minion/mount

[carmine shell]

minions stay but yo u get mount added on

in savage

[inland quarry]

are EW extreme already out?

[twilit arch]

yes

[boreal storm]

For the 83 and 89 trials

[wintry trellis]

2 so far more later

Unlock in old sharl

[inland quarry]

what mounts they drop?

[wintry trellis]

Kitties

[inland quarry]

wander what you will get for collecting 7 kitties lol

[boreal storm]

No you can’t buy them with totems yet

[wintry trellis]

A mega kitty

[inland quarry]

i hope

[wintry trellis]

better be

[smoky crystal]

What’s the best way to learn healer? Looking to pick up sage but it’ll be my first healer role

[wintry trellis]

YouTube guides / thebalance

[inland quarry]

i always thought 99 totems was a bit much like man if after 99 times doing the same trial you still don't get the mount then you have some really bad luck

[wintry trellis]

!faq thebalance

[zinc orbit]

The Balance

Discord

[inland quarry]

watch your rotation on some guide and play with your friends in some dungeons to get the hang of it

[smoky crystal]

gotcha!!

[lavish aspen]

Playing healer with a controller is hard man

[wintry trellis]

If you really wanna play a healer just play warrior

[faint flare]

Healer on controller isn't bad

[smoky crystal]

welp I play on PS5 hahahahaha

guess itll be a fun challenge

[faint flare]

I brain off heal

[warm snow]

Practice, reading your tool tips, then the balance

[warm snow]

Just git gud at playing on controller

[faint flare]

Just get used to up/down dpad quickly or keep the tank targeted as you aoe around you

[lavish aspen]

Who said I aint gud

[warm snow]

Use the party list settings, realise that up and down scrolls your party

[warm snow]

You did

[inland quarry]

imagine simping for the WHM when you can simp for the WAR to just run the dungeon himself while you afk

[lavish aspen]

No

Just said it was hard.

[warm snow]

It's only hard if you're not gud yet

[wintry trellis]

Objectively best healer rn

[smoky crystal]

Haha, had a taste helping verraise party members as rdm, so I get the up/down part

the rest ill leave to luck

thanks friends!

[wintry trellis]

[blissful tinsel]

Since fish have multiple types of bait that can catch them, would some bait have a higher chance to catch it than others?

[wintry trellis]

P sure there’s a more detailed answer in the fishing balance but yes

[twilit arch]

yes

[cursive ridge]

yes, there are tables per bait per fish

on that dodgy japanese site and on teamcraft

[blissful tinsel]

Which one is more accurate?

[cursive ridge]

both are fine but 'cat got hungry' website is broken, or at least it was last i checked

[twilit arch]

both are a bit hit or miss since they rely on ppl with their apps to gather data

[blissful tinsel]

Oh, I know that site. I stopped using it because there was some misinformation.

[twilit arch]

cat became hungry requires you to use adblocker to honestly make use of it

[blissful tinsel]

Where do I find the bait chart on Teamcraft?

[cursive ridge]

search for the bait in the search

or the fish

or the location

[twilit arch]

Do note, as i said, its not entirely accurate simply because its reliant on user data

[forest sage]

if you search for a fish, near the bottom there's the fishing hole info with a ! that will send you to the fishing hole page, and there you can see bait info

it's also often flawed data for big fishes and stuff

[twilit arch]

[cursive ridge]

use this for big fishes https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/

[somber finch]

Heya all, i just joined cuz, i wanted to ask about smt. As a f2p, that has never played this kind of game before, could i do well playing as a pugilist? Of all jobs available to a f2p, this seems the most fun for me. I'm not a comp/hardcore player, just want to casually play and apreciate the world as i lvl.

[sudden wolf]

Didn’t know what channel I was I’m sorry

[cursive ridge]

all jobs are fine

[faint flare]

All jobs are fine

[sudden wolf]

All jobs are fine but pugilist is fun

[faint flare]

Balance exists

[cursive ridge]

you can do all content with any job

[somber finch]

Noice

[sudden wolf]

Puglist is a very fun job

Enjoy it

[cursive ridge]

you dont have to just stick to one

[sudden wolf]

Because monk is 😩👍

[cursive ridge]

you can experiment and try other jobs on the same character

[somber finch]

Yea, punching the sh*t out of things always amused me as a combat style/option

[barren granite]

if you like melee action, lancer is also fun

[cursive ridge]

What do offtanks usually do on raids/trials, especially on normal modes? i haven't tanked any yet, but i've really not noticed many tank mechanics, are they just very subtle?

[faint flare]

Be a blue dps

[cursive ridge]

i haven't noticed many stack-switches on fights

[faint flare]

Take adds, eat a buster if it targets both tanks

[barren granite]

wait for5 adds ?

[cursive ridge]

do they swap around for tanking cooldowns?

[faint flare]

P2 puts a flare marker on one of thr tanks

Not In Normal mode

[forest sage]

if there's no forced tank swaps(and there's rarely in normal content), then there's no real reason to tank swap

[warm drift]

do cleave tank busters always have a indicator

[faint flare]

No

[forest sage]

the modern ones do, but before that they didn't

[cursive ridge]

in older content specifically you just kinda have to know it

[somber finch]

Just to confirm, dancer is not available for f2p, is it?

[forest sage]

like starting ShB or so

[twilit arch]

no its not

[faint flare]

Busters in endwalker all have an icon but it doesn't mean it cleaves

[twilit arch]

requires you to own shadowbringers to play

[boreal storm]

There’s only 6 jobs trials can’t use

[warm snow]

It's a trial, not free to play, if you upgrade to the full game you can't go back

[cursive ridge]

so for normal 8mans, the second tank is basically a failsafe

[faint flare]

Basically

[forest sage]

sometimes there's shared tank busters or double tank busters on both tanks(E1N for ex)

[wintry trellis]

Yup

Use your funny new heal move and dps

[forest sage]

but yeah most normal content the offtank is just a DPS that can eat vulns

[primal gazelle]

Hello everyone, is anybody here knowledgeable on FFXIV's ost? there's a track that i've been looking for for hours and i haven't found it yet

[cursive ridge]

ask away, maybe somebody knows

[primal gazelle]

check this out https://youtu.be/WCVcgZ8dtD0?t=893

[cursive ridge]

that's the track from the dungeon ||tower of babil|| from endwalker

i dont know its official name but i have it extracted from the game files if you want it

[primal gazelle]

I'd love to have it!

[forest lark]

So I just started blm for the first time since ew and whattt?! Where's enochian? what is my new rotation then at lvl 80+

[cursive ridge]

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM Leveling Rotations

[faint flare]

A trait

[forest lark]

I see, a lot has changed for blm

[faint flare]

Not really

Only aoe changed

[cursive ridge]

yes, Blizzard2 is no longer pointless, Fire2 no longer requires Fire3

[faint flare]

Single target is very much the same

Aoe was improved

[forest lark]

I guess its time to bully the dummy and see how new rotation goes

[somber finch]

There seems to be alot of abilities and rotations to keep in mind. I assume i can ignore these and just play the way i feel more comfortable while lvling casually?

[faint flare]

Every skill has a use

[cursive ridge]

can do whatever you want solo really

[faint flare]

There's only a tiny amount of unused onea

[cursive ridge]

but it's a good idea to try to memorize how are you supposed to use your skills

sure it's way overkill for MSQ, but for group content it will help you do it faster

and it's a requirement to know how to use all your kit for top-end content

[somber finch]

Hmm, well, i assume these raids and high end content are only available at max lvl(60)?

[faint flare]

No

[cursive ridge]

technically high end content is still available at each expansion level cap

but people mostly focus on current expansion one which is 90

[boreal storm]

The first raids are lvl 50

[faint flare]

Literally 4 expansions worth of raid and high end content

[somber finch]

Well, i should have time to learn all the stuff

[cursive ridge]

yeah the game is preeetty long, just practice and try to think of how to use your skills better

and you'll become better in no time

[faint flare]

Just read your skills and press your buttons

Ain't hard

[somber finch]

Gotcha, and now on a more asthetic topic, as a f2p, can i play as a Viera? Or are Viera also not available to trial players like the Au'Ra?

[faint flare]

You can't

[cursive ridge]

viera are only from shadowbringers up

[twilit arch]

Viera requires shadowbringers

[cursive ridge]

female ones, males should require endwalker

[twilit arch]

no

[tall mountain]

nah, the whole race is shb

[twilit arch]

both genders requires shadowbringers

[tall mountain]

even male

[cursive ridge]

interesting

[boreal storm]

You do have access to Au Ra

[cursive ridge]

i was confused by that too, googled, but apparently not?

since it's from stormblood i guess

[faint flare]

Heavensward

[hot eagle]

aura was from heavensward
