saint reynaud's I think

floral glacier
#

im not sure why but for samurai class the meditate ability does not work for me im above the level to use it but it never lights up or anything am i suppose do my job quests or something?

frozen zodiac
#

gotta be in combat

tall mountain
granite root
#

Is it normal for the master gauge for MNK to never light up ever in battle

tardy tangle
#

what's the usual limit for the amount of an item?

tall mountain
tardy tangle
#

OH

granite root
frozen zodiac
#

"the same thing" elaborate further please

red junco
#

Have the S ranks for Thavnair and Labyrinthos not been found yet?

frozen zodiac
#

pretty sure they have

jade quartz
#

Not all S ranks are ingame yet.

#

This is normal

granite root
frozen zodiac
#

you're talking about opening the nadi under perfect balance?

granite root
#

The what

frozen zodiac
#

the chakra gauge then?

red junco
#

ahh ok

limber hound
#

pretty sure master gauge is the one connected to perfect balance

granite root
#

I just wanted to make use of the master gauge

red junco
#

i assume they may be added in 6.05 then?

limber hound
#

anyway, crash course

#

pop perfect balance, do three gcds, then use masterful blitz

tropic frigate
#

A question since Active Help navigation is not helping me at all to find this. When the bottom gauge for Bard runs full, what is this linked to? Which action can be executed? I'm not seeing any grayed out button that suddenly is enabled

jade quartz
#

Apex Arrow

granite root
tall mountain
limber hound
#

Masterful blitz becomes a different attack based on what form the gcds used were

jade quartz
#

For gauge info ingame see actions and traits > ? Button at the bottom for gauge help

tropic frigate
#

Ah that's why when it's full, it makes this pop sound

faint flare
#

!action Perfect balance

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Perfect Balance** : lvl 50 MNK (40.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Grants 3 stacks of Perfect Balance, each stack allowing the execution of a weaponskill that requires a certain form, without being in that form.
Duration: 20s Additional Effect: Grants Opo-opo Chakra, Coeurl Chakra, or Raptor Chakra depending on the form required by actions executed
Maximum Charges: 2
Can only be executed while in combat.

jade quartz
tropic frigate
#

Alright, thanks for the help

granite root
#

Are GCDs like my fire wind and earth things because I don't remember what counts

jade quartz
#

GCD = global cooldown

limber hound
#

the opo-opo, coeurl and raptor things

granite root
#

Yeah I know but like are those it

jade quartz
#

Bootshine, snap punch, etc

granite root
#

What

jade quartz
#

Your combos

granite root
#

But those aren't GCDs those are just combos

faint flare
#

Skills labelled weaponskills are gcds

jade quartz
#

…….

jade quartz
granite root
#

But they cool down instantly

jade quartz
#

Your combo actions are gcds

limber hound
#

It's called gcd because they share a cooldown

faint flare
#

They trigger the 2.5s global Cooldown

jade quartz
#

No they take about two seconds

granite root
#

GCDs are the ones that have a super long cooldown

tall mountain
#

The global cooldown refers to that 2.5 second (reduced for Monk) cooldown that you must incur between casting two weaponskills/spells

jade quartz
#

No

faint flare
#

No

jade quartz
faint flare
#

That's OFF globals

#

Cause they're NOT on the global Cooldown

tall mountain
#

Long cooldown actions are generally just called cooldowns

#

Not global cooldowns

granite root
#

I was taught the game this way

slate arrow
#

!action bootshine

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Bootshine** : lvl 1 PGL MNK (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 210 . Leaden Fist Potency: Opo-opo Form Bonus: Guarantees a critical hit
Additional Effect: Changes form to raptor
Duration: 30s

tall mountain
#

Then let it be taught to you now what the terminology actually means

faint flare
#

You were taught shit

slate arrow
#

these 2.5 second cooldowns are your Global Cooldowns

jade quartz
granite root
#

I was taught by a mentor

faint flare
#

Lol

jade quartz
#

Whoever taught you that is an idiot

faint flare
#

Means nothing

jade quartz
tall mountain
#

Mentorship isn't hard to get, don't take the word of a mentor as gospel

jade quartz
#

Mentors have a bad reputation for a reason

slate arrow
#

unfortunately burger King crown mentors in game are terrifyingly incompetent

granite root
#

Although he didn't teach me my positionals either because he was trying to make me be a tank instead of MNK

limber hound
#

well here's another mentor (and a few others) telling you otherwise

jade quartz
#

GCDs are your weaponskills that share a 2.5s or less global cooldown

slate arrow
#

!faq mnkguide

#

wait

#

oh my god

limber hound
#

outdated"?

jade quartz
#

oGCDs are abilities not on the global cooldown (hence “off global cooldown”) and have longer cooldowns of their own

slate arrow
#

it's out of date not like this

granite root
#

It took me a year to memorize my positionals and now I'm having to re-memorize them because they changed in the monk rework so like... I dunno how I'm gonna learn this master gauge

jade quartz
#

No positionals changed in the rework

#

Some just got removed

slate arrow
#

it's better to not think about the master gauge in relation to your normal rotation

#

It's a seperate system

jade quartz
#

By some I mean most

slate arrow
#

You only interact with it during Perfect Balance

#

Otherwise you just do your monk things as you have been before

limber hound
#

You can still hit the positionals like they still exist AyaJii

granite root
# jade quartz Some just got removed

That's why I have to rememorize, I keep forgetting which ones were removed. And I totally forgot what they were in the gap where I couldn't afford to buy playtime.

craggy tinsel
#

I'm a bit late, but

#

when you use an action and like 15 things go on cooldown, that means it's part of the global cooldown

limber hound
#

But now, they're only on demolish (rear) and true strike (side)

dire prawn
craggy tinsel
#

when you use something and it is the only thing that goes on cooldown, that means it's not part of the global cooldown

jade quartz
#

I.e. only the third step of your combo

granite root
dire prawn
#

All that's left is the ones on your Coeurl attack so Snap Punch (Flank) and Demolish (Rear)

#

Bootshine and Dragon Kick are your first stance (Opo-opo)

jade quartz
#

Then think of them as parts 1 2 and 3 of your combo

#

Only part 3 of a combo has a positional

dire prawn
#

True Strike and Twin Snakes are your second stance (Raptor)

#

Snap Punch and Demolish are your third stance (Coeurl)

limber hound
jade quartz
#

You should set up your bar in such a way that this is easy to intuit

dire prawn
#

And then it wraps back around to Opo-opo from there

granite root
#

I suppose this is why I should've picked a simpler class like never-play-a-battle-class

jade quartz
#

Yeah like that

limber hound
#

or was it 2nd raptor and 3rd couerl

jade quartz
#

Monk is a simple class

frozen zodiac
#

busy, but simple

limber hound
#

Anyway, that's how the thing flows from left to right

dire prawn
jade quartz
#

That hotbar there is very similar to mine

granite root
limber hound
#

hm

jade quartz
#

Can still make that intuitive

limber hound
#

I have no experience with controller

jade quartz
#

Like say for 123 you have square X circle

#

Then for alternative 123 you have square X circle on the other hotbar set

granite root
#

I have it set up so main combo and meditate on left hand, dot combo on right, then AOE combo on left hand.

jade quartz
#

Then your third combo part will always be circle

jade quartz
#

And would explain your confusion

cosmic pilot
#

Can we assign macro on PS4 back button attachment?

slate arrow
jade quartz
#

I’d recommend having your two sets of combo actions on the same buttons just different hotbar

coral elk
#

Are people not allowed to make new characters at all? or can we do it at low queue times?

slate arrow
#

but you can't back the back buttons "unique" inputs

#

Only existing controller buttons

jade quartz
#

Like

prime plover
#

Is there a "best" map to farm Bicolor Gemstones? Like, is there any map more popular than others? Or just random really lol

cosmic pilot
jade quartz
#

L2 + square x circle and R2 + square x circle

cosmic pilot
granite root
jade quartz
#

And if you’re confused about your GCDs your hotbar setup seems like an obvious factor

limber hound
#

probably better to figure out what's ideal for yourself

slate arrow
#

set up your hotbars for you first

#

others are merely guidelines

#

some people can and will have wack ass setups

jade quartz
#

Almost everyone has their own completely unique setup

#

There’s not like a consensus setup that everyone uses.

granite root
#

R2+ Circle X Triangle = Bootshine Combo
R2 + D-Pad = DOT Combo
L2+ Circle Square Triangle = AOE Combo

cosmic pilot
jade quartz
slate arrow
#

I'm not sure what's the full list of valid inputs

dire prawn
#

My opinion is that that's indeed extremely cursed

granite root
#

Then R2 + Square = Meditation, L2 + X = whatever is supposed to turn into Elixir Field but just doesn't and I don't get why

warm snow
#

Up up down down left right left right b a start

jade quartz
#

Like why is your AoE combo on a totally different order of buttons than your single target

slate arrow
#

@granite root personally, I'd just make it so that square cross circle is 123, l1 is main, l2 is dot, and put AoE on an entirely separate crossbar

granite root
#

Why a different crossbar

warm snow
#

The only opinion I'll parrot for hotbars is controller: setup crosshotbar 1 for single target, crosshotbar 2 for aoe.

So you just need to press r1 to swap modes

jade quartz
#

Yeah that’s the same as what I was recommending

dire prawn
#

I would have R2 as Bootshine/True Strike/Snap Punch and L2 as Dragon Kick/Twin Snakes/Demolish then use Cross Hotbar to have R2 again as Arm of the Destroyer/Four-point Fury/Rockbreaker

slate arrow
#

because you're either always using it or never using it

warm snow
jade quartz
granite root
#

They're all attacks, why do they need to be different crossbars

warm snow
#

Rare exceptions being short periods in uwu and old flourish on dnc

cosmic pilot
granite root
#

I put all my cooldowns on one bar and all my attacks on another

jade quartz
#

That seems clunky

slate arrow
#

We're just saying what we find sensible

#

If you're having issues /shrug

warm snow
jade quartz
#

You need your cooldowns on immediate access

granite root
#

They are though

warm snow
#

This leaves more space for cooldowns so you can track them and ogcd abilities

granite root
#

I just snap a button and there they are

slate arrow
#

We can't help you if you don't want to change

jade quartz
#

Can you consistently weave them without clipping and pull off an opener?

warm snow
#

You appear to have come asking for advice

#

Yet you just seem to argue with what's being given

granite root
#

I don't know how to pull off openers so I just kinda... Don't?

warm snow
#

Please come to a decision

slate arrow
cosmic pilot
#

jade quartz
warm snow
jade quartz
#

And then figure out how to build your hotbar such that the opener can be done smoothly

warm snow
errant mesa
#

Speaking of hotbars, how do I arrange a monk's

cosmic pilot
#

https://xivbars.bejezus.com/
Use that to plan a hotbars

warm snow
limber hound
#

imma play devil's advocate and say that perhaps you aren't really cut out to play dps

jade quartz
#

You have buttons you press the most often on the easiest access

#

That’s how you build a hotbar

warm snow
#

You understand the skills, and place them in a manner that suits how you use your hands

jade quartz
#

From there it’s personal taste

limber hound
#

I think the most important part of a dps is consistency in their rotation

granite root
#

I cannot handle healers and I forget mechanics very easily so I cannot tank

limber hound
#

and I stink at that

errant mesa
#

I mean in terms of their combo arrangement

slate arrow
#

Aight I'm just going to shut this down

warm snow
slate arrow
#

If you don't want to learn we can't help you

jade quartz
#

Tanks learn the same amount of mechanics as everyone else

warm snow
#

Horse has been led to water

granite root
#

I do wanna learn... :/

slate arrow
#

then stop degrading yourself and practice

warm snow
#

Then start with an opener

jade quartz
#

Then check that infographic posted above

slate arrow
#

Make things that work for you

limber hound
#

The people have the impression you do not want to Towa_Sip

slate arrow
#

don't follow other people blindly

ACT/Parsing

Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.

ACT/FFLogs Guide

Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.

#

This has things you can load to have callouts and shit

#

if you have issues then find solutions

granite root
#

What's the class with the least mechanics

slate arrow
#

machinist

#

but it's fast

#

If you have high latency you'll not have a good time

jade quartz
#

Simple classes? Any tank, machinist, dancer

warm snow
jade quartz
#

Summoner

granite root
#

Hmm... I keep getting told Summoner is complex

#

Like from Summoner mains

slate arrow
#

old summoner a fair bit

faint flare
#

It got reworked

limber hound
#

old SMN, perhaps

slate arrow
#

New summoner is easy

warm snow
#

Well then there's something a little harder for you to start with

jade quartz
#

Summoner currently is among the simplest jobs

warm snow
#

If you keep running from anything outside your tiny comfort zone you'll never improve

cosmic pilot
#

Either I’ve played with SAM for too long but I feel SAM have easy rotations and mechanics

warm snow
#

Expand your horizons

granite root
#

What if I found Dragoon to be a bit complex

warm snow
#

Or as the kids these day put it: git gud at somethibg

jade quartz
#

SAM is straightforward, just gotta learn the large number of buttons

granite root
#

Like pre-50 Dragoon even

hard parrot
#

SAM isn’t too difficult to learn, but I wouldn’t say it’s the job with the “least mechanics.”

jade quartz
#

Uh

Rip

slate arrow

You still have 3

Dragoon has no positionals until 50

Someday they'll remove the positionals

I honestly thought MNK at 70 felt way simpler than DRG at sub-50

limber hound
#

wait no

#

chaos thrust Otae

limber hound
#

Somehow I thought that dragonfire was the lv50 skill

warm snow
cosmic pilot
limber hound
#

anyway

slate arrow
#

It's time to stop.

warm snow
#

I'm half convinced it's a troll

slate arrow
#

The point is, you can't improve unless you want to.

granite root
hard parrot
#

DRG has a lot of oGCD’s, ye..? Maybe that’s what makes stuff difficult for you. Dunno which jobs have the least amount of oGCD’s, though. (Probably BLM, but I wouldn’t recommend that to someone who’s struggling.)

slate arrow
#

If you want to, you need to practice.

limber hound
#

ye olde weaving (and that's not the crafting class)

slate arrow
#

You can't just sit here and complain when you don't even want to change your own hotbar layouts.

warm snow
#

God helps those who help themselves

slate arrow
#

and with that, I will start handing out mutes for comments. Legimate questions are still fair.

granite root
#

Sorry... :/ Didn't mean to start all this.

cosmic pilot
slate arrow
#

!mute @cosmic pilot 30m

cosmic pilot

Am I missing something here…

zinc orbitBOT
#
Success!

@cosmic pilot has been muted by @slate arrow for 30 minutes!

slate arrow
#

Conditional buffs are only for select buffs

warm snow
#

The only setting for that is your own debuffs

#

You can separate your own proc buffs to a separate bar

granite root
#

Oh by the way is there any way to preview hud stuff so you know if you're positioning it okay or not? I'm having trouble positioning my hud pieces because I can't see what I'm positioning, and its impossible to get the time to reposition certain things mid-duty.

slate arrow
#

the HUD Layout preview is generally good enough. Party List technically extends to the right a little and the Enemy List goes down up to 8, but besides those everything in HUD Layout is accurate to the size.

honest anvil
#

if you die, do your buffs/ debuffs stay active?

warm snow
#

Depends on he job

#

And buff/debuff

slate arrow
warm snow
#

The death debuff actually gets worse

#

Most job gauge resources go bye bye

remote lintel
#

misc buffs stay active

warm snow
#

Only exceptions I can think of off hand are brd codas

#

Food, fc, manuals and technically potions stick around

#

All the tanks loose their gauge but keep stance

honest anvil
#

oh i meant stuff like reprisal, tactician, step buffs deeerppride

slate arrow
#

SMN keeps Phoenix/Bahamut, Sage keeps Addersgall (it actually charges while they're even dead)

warm snow
#

Blm loses job gauge

granite root
remote lintel
#

ast cards are buffs so they do disappear

warm snow
#

Buffs applied to you during the fight: gone

frozen zodiac
#

heat/battery gauge goes bye bye

slate arrow
#

To be fair SCH technically does keep regenerating resources if you count aetherflow

warm snow
#

Still loses its first gcd on res

#

Then again so does smn again

Perfectly balanced

**Thundercloud** : lvl 28 THM BLM

Grants a 10% chance that after each damage over time tick inflicted by Thunder or Thunder III (3% for Thunder II or Thunder IV), the next Thunder, Thunder II, Thunder III, or Thunder IV will add its full damage over time amount to its initial damage, have no cast time, and cost no MP.

Or this

#

Nope

#

It does get leaden fist tho

#

And perfect balance I think, but I usually blitz through that too fast to notice

Pretty sure formless fist is in there too

Subscriber rank means nothing nowadays, right?

#

Like I know it used to mean you got rewards but like... Now that's all nada right?

sour rock
#

hm every time i try logging into the normal client, it says i need to update direct x but i have direct x 12 lol
i can't update it anymore than i already ahve

leaden ginkgo
#

should i do the most gained xp from levelquests or stuck with lv 81 intead of 84 for less mats crafting

warm snow

It never meant anything in the first place

remote lintel

server boosting never gave anything

Veteran rewards cap at 300 days iirc

boreal storm
twilit arch
#

330 days is the end of veteran rewards for sub rannk

#

so after that, yes it means nothing except to tell you how long you've been subbed

warm snow
#

And they're unlikely to add new rewards

twilit arch
#

its not simply unlikely

#

its not happening

#

they've already flat out stated as such

leaden ginkgo
warm snow
#

Shame, means poor Jonathas slides further and further into irrelvancy

slate arrow
#

there used to be significantly more veteran rewards but they scaled that back and put them as quest rewards

#

and/or achievement rewards

twilit arch
#

vet rewards =/ achievement cert rewards

warm snow
true jolt
twilit arch
#

there's a likely chance jonathas may see an update eventually

granite root
boreal storm
#

They’ll update the shop one day, you’ll see

sour rock
#

i can't update directx any more than it already is. is there a fix for this?

warm snow
slate arrow
twilit arch
#

much of them is yes

twilit arch
#

but there are plenty of them that are not

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you all

sour rock
#

ty

twilit arch
#

but that still doesn't mean them saying they are not going to add anything to vet rewards means jonathas is never seeing an update

warm snow
#

When was the last time they added more achievement cert rewards?

sour rock
#

i do think its a client issue, as the quick launcher thing that skips log in works just fine

twilit arch
#

the ribbon

#

which was 5.0 iirc

slate arrow
#

I just spammed that shit to 90 lmao

Are VIII materia stronger than IX or am I missing something?

Read the rest of the text

Overmeld

remote lintel
#

materia ranks dont indicate strength

#

theyre not linear

warm snow
spare gazelle
#

Ok, so even though it looks like this: "Critical Hit + 24" when I hover on my melded gear, it's not giving the full value?

warm snow
#

!item quickarm materia viii

zinc orbitBOT
spare gazelle
#

Yeah I still have no idea what that means, thanks

warm snow
#

It can't be used for high level advanced melding

remote lintel
#

if its red that means you hit the cap

granite root
#

IIRC if you aren't seeing the full value you should've used a lower value one

It's not red though, it's showing up as if it's 100% valid like always

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

slate arrow
#

If you don't know what it means the tl;Dr is to just meld 10s and call it a day

warm snow
#

That one doesn't cover this

spare gazelle
#

example

slate arrow
#

overmelding is niche for combat

#

It's more important for crafters

spare gazelle
warm snow
#

Go ahead if you want to use it when rank x materia exist

spare gazelle
#

I mean, I'd use X if I had any, obviously, haha

warm snow
#

That's not the difference between viii and ix

granite root
#

So what you're saying is the value shown on the Materia is higher than the 24 there even though the gear has more space?

warm snow
#

No

#

I have no idea where you got that idea

granite root
#

I mean from what Raksis was saying

warm snow
#

Like everything you just said is wrong

#

You can't even advanced meld on npcs so raksis can't do that

granite root
#

I'm not sure then. I've only ever had friends meld for me because of course I don't have a crafter that can do that yet

warm snow
#

Then don't worry about it

spare gazelle
#

Advance Meld?
Man, I'm just sitting here in front of my materia melder trying to decide between VIII and IX lol and VIII shows up with a bigger number on my gear

regal pawn
#

And call it a day

warm snow
#

Don't bother and wait til you get some 10s

regal pawn
#

8s are plentiful and honestly will serve you enough
Unless you actually want to go for early savage raiding and actual proper parses

warm snow
#

Odd number materia are for advanced melding

frozen zodiac
granite root
#

Materia almost always go for good money so you'll most likely make an amount that allows you to repurchase later if you need

granite root
#

Well, the higher numbered ones do

warm snow
#

Only 1-4 and current materia sell for good money

frozen zodiac
#

why do 1-4 sell for good moneh?

warm snow
#

That leaves 5-8 as basically worthless

#

Arr relics

cosmic pilot
#

Is the higher one have less value cause it have 40% chance on retrieving from gears

warm snow
#

Wanna rephrase that?

regal pawn

1-4 sell well due to arr relics and shtuff

#

5-8 are worthless because those gear levels are kinda just
whatever

#

You zoom past them straight to 90 gear
which can use 9-10

5-8 are listed on the market board for below what the vendor would give you

Smn petglamour question. I used to set my ifrit egi into a Ruby carby pre EW. Now in level synced content, my ifrit egi appears as Ruby carby. I tried to switch bsck via
/pet glamour "Ifrit-Egi" "Ifrit-Egi"

But was given the error Ifrit-Egi is not a valid option name. Anyone know how I can fix this? Changing the first one to Ruby carby doesn't work

regal pawn
frozen zodiac
#

its petglamour "ruby ifrit" "ruby ifrit"

And secondly you leave the second argument blank to reset it

Thats a typo right there i got the command right in game.haha

@warm snow all good

You can't glamour the 90 primals (which is just sad)

warm snow
#

At least you can shrink them

regal pawn
#

sadroll not the same as having a rat

warm snow
#

And you can't glamour baha or loui either

Back in 4.0 there was a bug that let you keep baha out permanently

Is there any way to see gear and fashion accessories you can't buy on the market board, on the race/gender of your choice?

wintry basin
#

Alright boys, this question ya'll may have seen plenty, but I'm a jit and can't find the FAQs. So if I would like to try the game out, do I have to buy Endwalker? They suspended the starter editions

twilit arch
#

endwalker will do nothing for you if you do not already own an acct/stater edition

#

you're just going to have to be patient and wait for them to re-enable trial/starter/complete

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i get these?

frozen zodiac
twilit arch
#

buy them with white scrips, need to have the radz-at-han house of splendor unlocked tho

warm snow
#

With the exception of one new item, all fashion accessories are wings and umbrellas so race really doesn't matter there

#

The one exception is a pair of glasses

granite root
#

What about the one person I saw with a halo? Or was that just attached to the wings they had?

twilit arch
#

that was part of their head piece

heavy wadi
#

that's not a fashion accessory

warm snow
#

Angel outfit on mogstation

twilit arch

zinc orbitBOT
granite root
#

Oh, I thought that mightve been a fashion acc. too because I swear they were also wearing other headgear

heavy wadi
#

they weren't

heavy wadi
#

unless they had the glasses accessory

twilit arch
#

only other way to do it would be with glasses fashion accessory

granite root
#

Oh, you can put on multiple at once. I didn't even think about that.

twilit arch
#

no

#

the new glasses fashion accessory allows you to have glasses on with whatever other helm you have

#

but its not useable in combat

granite root
#

Oh.

for party finder and 1 job per party, it treats SGE and SCH as one job cause both shield?

I'm just hunting for Ex groups, just surprised to see two groups with SGE and needing 1 healer, both have blocked SCH

#

Alright thanks!

heavy wadi

they don't want two barrier healers.

frozen zodiac

they likely have a barrier slot and a throughput slot

sch and sage can work well together but for most it's not super feasible

last few times I've been SCH with SGE in group, they just tell the poor SGE to not cast any shields haha

I would think you need to have "Skip playback of previously viewed cutscenes" enabled in order for the cutscenes to skip.

twilit arch

oh wait disabled, lol yeah you need to have that ticked on

to skip stuff you've already seen

leaden ginkgo

oh my god what the hell

you disabled the thing that would skip them

I'm having trouble with increasing my collectability, any tips for me?

On crafting

true jolt
humble epoch
#

as level 41 generally what do i want to do with gear?

#

put in cp materia?

true jolt
#

This is for ishgard collectable I presume?

Uhh, your gear is up to date right? Not using lvl20ish gear. And i think aiming for 2nd grade is okay? Without some skills aiming the max grade is hard iirc

humble epoch
#

Ah no it's not up to date

#

i'm using some low lvl pieces

true jolt
#

Most important are the weapons followed by armor etc and last accescories

humble epoch
#

So generally every time i unlock a new firmament item to craft 20, 40 etc i want to do class quests + upgrade my gear so i can get higher collectability?

primal relic
#

Is there a way for me to edit debuff on target? I have mines at 120% but still pretty difficult to see this tint green debuff compare to party wide debuff.

true jolt
primal relic
#

Noob Tank question, so when you do big pull and use your range skill to pull aggro, do you stop to do AoE to make sure you grab aggro or keep running? Watching a tank guide, suggest I shouldn’t stop just keep running and tossing.

heavy wadi
#

aoe

wispy basalt
#

sorry

heavy wadi
#

do your aoe combo to make sure the dps or healer don't get aggro'd

regal pawn
#

If you're paladin or gnb, you can pop your aoe dot

#

Generally not advised cause you end up losing damage
But if the corridors get long, you can lose aggro here and there

primal relic
#

Hmmm I see, thanks a lot.

Q: do Crafting/Gathering job quests end after level 70? I just hit 80 leatherworker but no quest prompted.

dense pier
#

There a way to turn off the camera resetting on it's own?

twilit arch
#

called crystalline mean and studium deliveries respectively

#

so they're turn ins for a set of crafters/gatherers

rustic badge
twilit arch
#

crp/ltw/wvr, bsm/gsm/arm, and alc/cul for crafters, bot/min and fisher for gatherer

I thought Tole quests were just a little side action thing,..heh.

so EW continues them too , eh

twilit arch
#

yep

rustic badge
#

kk,.ty

twilit arch
#

most likely how it'll function going forward for expansion

hoary wadi
#

can i wear lower level gear to force a lower level dungeon on roulette, or will it have an affect on how much xp i gain from it

faint flare
#

You can

#

Or just remove gear

hoary wadi
#

it wont handicap my xp?

errant mesa
#

For the Qitari does it matter which version of history I pick

twilit arch
#

nop

#

go with what you think is right

#

tahts the whole point of the quests

errant mesa
#

Kinda lame that they don't uncover the truth

faint flare
narrow jay
#

Pretty sure they mean will forcing the lower level dungeon handicap their XP gain

leaden ginkgo
narrow jay
#

and the answer is it depends

#

because lower level dungeons do give less experience, but the leveling roulette bonus is based on the discrepancy between the dungeon and your level

#

It's possible someone has mathed all of it out, but if they have, I'm not aware of it.

gray cape
#

anyone else having severe lag spikes? Feels like it just started a few days ago

I personally hate it because those raids are such a drag, but it does happen quite a lot.

Hey this is more of an opinion question but for context, I played WoW for about 2 years and then I joined ffxiv. One of the things I loved about WoW was the Shadow Priests in its gameplay and aesthetics. Im wondering if you guys know the closest class to Shadow Priest in FFXIV cause I really miss the class from WoW and I kinda feel tempted to return to WoW just for Shadow Priest which I dont want to.

regal pawn
#

What do they do bunnysip

deep nest
#

hello, does anyone know how to mute system sound of "duty commenced, duty completed, etc"?

normal oasis
#

anyone know if there are hats like this that players can wear? a straw hat with sunglasses

regal pawn
normal oasis
#

bummer

crisp prawn
astral cobalt
#

just did my first ocean fishing trip, what to do with the fishes ?

crisp prawn
#

the form in the lore infuses them with more void power which just made the class even cooler

regal pawn
#

Ah
Then no

We have kinda a similar thing with Summoner
But they don't have a dot anymore

faint flare
#

All healers only have 1 dot

twilit arch
#

nothing really else to do with them

faint flare
#

And only astro and white mage have personal dps steriods

crisp prawn
astral cobalt
#

thanks, gonna desynth them

slate arrow
#

black mage

regal pawn
#

Summoner then I guess

crisp prawn
#

if that makes sense? like the Priest going into void form to boost its overall damage output

slate arrow
#

reaper

regal pawn
#

Caster

slate arrow
#

definitely reaper

faint flare
#

Only "dark" casters would be like black mage

twilit arch
#

i'd probably say black mage is more akin to spriest than summoner

#

reaper though would be closer imo in the dark aesthetic

regal pawn
#

Well summoner has the whole Dreadwyrm trance thing

twilit arch
#

since you literally go dark edgelore

#

ehh

#

playing an s-priest myself, it really doesn't feel the same IMO

regal pawn
#

Closest thing to a power up form

#

For casters

twilit arch
#

s-priest void form would feel more like reaper's avatar mode tbh

#

but reaper is melee

slate arrow
#

just be a harpe mage kappa

twilit arch
#

caster i would go blm personally for s-priest like aesthetic, but it doesn't have a void form

regal pawn
crisp prawn
#

huh. Melee is fine though but would prefer it to be a caster

regal pawn
#

Reaper then

twilit arch
#

but blm plays akin to like arcane mage tbh

#

in that you dump mana into fire phase and use ice phase to refill mana

crisp prawn
#

Arcane Mage was also a class i really enjoyed

#

Ill check out BLM seems fun.

regal pawn
#

Reaper for basically the aesthetic and void form
Summoner for a caster with a power up form
Black mage for a darkish aesthetic

crisp prawn
#

got it

#

wait Summoner has power up form?

twilit arch
#

eh kind of

faint flare
#

It summons stuff to enhance itself

twilit arch
#

you do like big summons via baha, primals and phx

regal pawn
#

Aether charge/dreadwyrm trance/summon bahamut/phoenix

dense pier
#

The tank that's doing the most damage is the one who holds the highest threat, right? Or does the person who gain it initially have some sort of threat boost to help them keep it from other tanks stealing it without provoke?

crisp prawn
#

ooooooh

twilit arch

so its not quite a power up form to you personally

I couldn't steal aggro from this WAR in a trial

regal pawn
crisp prawn
#

I think arcanist would probably be better for me cause it also has scholar for healer queues... scholar and summoner both level up when you level one up right? if that makes sense

twilit arch
#

still don't quite agree with that but meh

regal pawn
#

Yeah

twilit arch
#

you, visually, are not changing is why i don't agree with it

#

but i'm also thinking about this from the perspective of an spriest for "power up form"

#

cos void form causes you to grow tentacles and shit so

regal pawn
#

I mean eh
You still power up and enter a "trance"
(Dwt, aether charge and fbt should have visuals imo)

#

I'd love if they added wings do dwt and fbt
And some aether stuff to aethercharge

twilit arch
#

semantics ultimately tbh :p

outer mural
#

i just summon legos

twilit arch
#

wait, you don't eat them? /s ok no shitposting

outer mural
#

but yeah back on topic the main spectacle is summoning your, well, summon

#

and the power boost is a part of it but not that flashy

#

so that's really up to the person on if they enjoy that sort of dynamic

regal pawn
#

When in doubt
Reaper it up

outer mural
#

very true

ripe hound
#

Is there a way to see when did I start playing a character?

Like character creation date?

twilit arch

not exactly no

#

you can use lodestone to look at achievement dates

#

What about account creation date?

#

oh that works

twilit arch
#

acct creation should be somewhere on mogstation i think

ripe hound

Does anyone know which patch is this?

I'm mid way through end walker MSQ and my poetics about to max out. What do?

and before you ask "what materials are best", that depends on the server and the time of day/week/current crafting meta/supply-demand

Yeah, but what's generally sought after?

so there's no coverall answer except to look at the market and play

Funny I’m watching this video on that exact subject right now

thin mist

even if i have endwalker on my pc and i wanted to play instead on my ps5 and get a license for it, i can't due to the halting of ffxiv sales right?

do you own starter edition on ps5?

or nothing

then yes, you will have to wait

the one for the studium deliveries is however

I have a ton of old armor sitting in my retainers inventory, how should I go about sorting through it

Aside from potential glamour options you might like, no, old gear isn't especially useful.

whichever you like for glamour keep in the dresser

and trade the rest for gc seals

or level desynth

If you have the Doman Restoration active/completed, you can donate unwanted items to them for up to double merchant value at a cap of up to 40k/week

#

eureka

leaden ginkgo
#

this could be a really stupid question

#

but what is new game+

naive ridge
#

its a mode to replay the MSQ

twilit arch
#

and certain other side quests

naive ridge
#

it grants no exp or rewards

leaden ginkgo
#

oh interesting

naive ridge
#

but you can replay the game on the same character

#

without making an alt

leaden ginkgo
#

and im assuming if you start it you can just end it if you wanted

naive ridge
#

yeah

twilit arch
#

ye can pause at anytime

naive ridge
#

you can turn it off and on

leaden ginkgo
#

cool

#

it scales difficulty I assume

twilit arch
#

nah

naive ridge
#

but dungeons will still be synced

twilit arch
#

its literally the same as playing thru it the first time, beyond the fact that open world stuff is going to be 1shot

#

solo duties will be sync'd ofc

leaden ginkgo
#

oh cool

twilit arch
#

but you can always unsync hte dungeons for the msq

naive ridge
#

and its only the main quests and important side quests

leaden ginkgo
naive ridge
#

you cant redo the extra side quests

leaden ginkgo
#

oh got it

naive ridge
#

like those around in the world

#

like MSQ and the job quests mostly

leaden ginkgo
#

so from what I hear, theres basically never a good reason to start a new character

#

cause I was thinking of doing that

naive ridge
#

there are a few

leaden ginkgo
#

but every reason I had is kinda irrelevant

naive ridge
#

one is rotating for gear in savage raiding

leaden ginkgo
#

mhm

naive ridge
#

the other is access to more inventory/retainers if you have an FC that lets you transfer items with the chest

#

or

#

have an alt to play in a different world,

twilit arch
#

hmm i would say the flow of msq is a bit different doing it on a new character vs ng+

#

but ultimately tho ng+ is nicer since no need to unlock things again

leaden ginkgo
sage mist
#

Does Melee DPS do more dmg with LB3 than Mages or Rangers?

naive ridge
twilit arch

we dont have that capability yet

sage mist
#

leaden ginkgo
#

naive ridge
#

you can play with them but you wont be able to join the same FC

#

if you're on different worlds

leaden ginkgo
#

mmm interesting

frigid briar
#

just a real quick question, i havent really seen too much on it. with the regalia mount, does the crossover happen yearly or just whenever square feels like it?

when SE decides to rerun it

#

ez as

#

thank you

ember magnet
#

is there a guide or something I can reference for what to do at endgame for minmaxing? I started playing with Endwalker so I don't really know what to do once I'm geared from the EX trials and am waiting on the normal raids lockout.

#

do i just spam lv90 dungeons for materia X and meld?

naive ridge
#

pretty much and the normal raid

#

the next step is crafted gear when savage drops

leaden ginkgo
#

is mentor ingame not real ?

naive ridge
#

but unless you are going for a first few weeks clear you can take your rime

ember magnet
leaden ginkgo
ember magnet
#

literally looking for more things to do that isn't glamours or leveling an alt/crafting job

naive ridge
#

right now there isnt all that much

#

until savage

crystal otter
#

How many grade 1 materia can I put on a sphere scroll before I need to use a higher grade materia?

wispy basalt
#

well for now im leveling all my alts and glamours so yah

ember magnet
#

what happens on savage and what kind of gear do i need for savage, do they need to be melded, etc?

wispy basalt
#

until savage and 6.1 so

#

savage will drops il600 gear

pure copper
#

||do we ever get shades like nero's in stormblood, before u start post?||

wispy basalt
#

and its better to get melded gear

naive ridge
#

i forget the name

ember magnet

#

hello is there a way to buy the game because i cant on steam ?

#

No

naive ridge
naive ridge

#

bro this game looks more fun than the other mmos talk about suffering from success

twilit arch
#

npc melder can't overmeld

naive ridge
#

oh

#

overmeld my bad

wispy basalt
#

npc cannot do that

twilit arch
#

so yes, to pentameld you would either need to level crafters yourself or get someone else to do it

silent cove
#

does anyone know when the sales are gonna be put back ?

twilit arch
#

no

wispy basalt
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

no

naive ridge
boreal storm
#

They’ll tell us when it happens

naive ridge
#

but queues seem to be slowing down at least

wispy basalt
#

they WILL tell us

wispy basalt
naive ridge
#

even post christmas it hasnt been that bad imo

silent cove
#

so from your opinion how long do you think it will take for the game to be put back onto sale

naive ridge
#

probably a couple of weeks at least

wispy basalt
#

maybe SE expanded the servers without telling us ?

twilit arch
#

very unlikely

naive ridge
#

yeah oceanic servers lol

wispy basalt
#

lmao

twilit arch
#

given that semi-conductors are the main issue

#

OCE servers have been planned for awhile

#

but when that's being released is tentatively 6.1

silent cove
#

aight thanks for the info ill just have to wait for it to be released

leaden ginkgo
#

DC TRAVEL WHEN !#@?

naive ridge
#

probably after oceanic servers

leaden ginkgo
#

when oceannic server

naive ridge
#

probably 6.1 or around feb

#

depending on when they can get their engineers there

narrow jay
#

assuming they can get the hardware they need

leaden ginkgo
#

i was going to say when 6.1

#

hehe

naive ridge
#

for OCE they already have the servers but they cant get their engineers there due to covid

leaden ginkgo
#

so each expansion has 3 alliance raids do we get the them all on one update ?

naive ridge
#

no

twilit arch
#

6.1 will be the first

naive ridge
#

they always come in the next big patch after the savage raid patch

twilit arch
#

6.3 2nd, and 6.5 the last

leaden ginkgo
#

a year ?

twilit arch
#

basically even patches are 8man raids, odd patches alliance raids

naive ridge
#

around 6 months

#

around every 3-4 months there is a big content release, either savage or alliance raid

boreal storm
#

5.55 was like 5-6 months before EW

#

And that was 2 years after 5.0 released

It's designed to be paced out, instead of dropped all in one go, so that people have the option to clear content at a pace comfortable to them without feeling pressured to finish things immediately, and so people can take reasonable breaks from the game, which Dir. Yoshida actively encourages.

#

those are my favorites

#

i'm seeing a bit of mixed opinion when it comes to being able to clear baldesion's arsenal, do i need to get a set of elemental armor to be able to beat it or not?

#

Newbie question about potd, can I run this solo to get to floor 50 so I can level alts? Been sitting in queue for the past 2 days waiting to match with people to get through floors 1-50

hello, is there any discord bot for Fête timer and reminder?

vestal magnet
#

are you supposed to not rush a dungeon when it's someone's first time?

glossy flare
#

The norm is still a fast and efficient clear. However it's also just polite to slow down a bit if it is someone's first time and they need that

#

Especially if they ask for it

vestal magnet
#

thanks. big pulls make it efficient right?

#

sometimes when i make big pulls the healer just goes on ahead into the boss

#

though when there's no first-timers, of course

solemn jewel
#

That's due to the change that made mobs not have any exp anymore

vestal magnet
#

o wat

glossy flare
#

Yeah

#

Its a bit weird tbh

solemn jewel
#

Exp drops from the boss now so some ppl just run thru now

#

That's not possible in all dungeons tho

vestal magnet
#

well i hadnt logged in a month due to avoiding the long queues but i dont read the patch notes lol. So exp is just now dungeon completion?

warped nest
#

Each of the boss

#

Gives exp

vestal magnet
#

ah ok

grim valve
#

For fishing, is the area that you're fishing in used to determine the level of fish, or is it bait, or both?

warped nest
#

I gonna be honest, I have no idea what it is done that way

#

But it is what it is

vestal magnet
#

but you still have to kill the mobs that chase you because they can enter the boss room with you too, right?

#

and make it harder

warped nest
#

@grim valve each fishing spot has a predetermined pool of fishes it can pull the fish from

#

Then some baits attract certain fishes

#

@vestal magnet depends on the dungeon

grim valve
#

Just leveling it rather than trying for specific fish. So sticking to level appropriate zones should be the best plan?

warped nest
#

Personally, I think it is a bit bullshit that you can run through mobs for certain dungeons

#

@grim valve for leveling, you either do fishing leves or ocean fishing

I was answering Warlawk

#

I have no idea what fete is

tepid stag
#

for diadem is it faster to go through a whole line of nodes per island before moving onto the second line or is alternating between them faster

vestal magnet
#

does the no-exp trash mob update apply to Potd?

tepid stag
#

potd has always been that you gain the exp after killing the boss

vestal magnet
#

ah wait i don't even know anymore, its been months since i last went to potd

#

ah thanks

lunar rapids
#

what does healers stay dps mid tanks far mean in party finder?

warped nest
#

But your "leveling" inside potd is still exp gain from each mob

vestal magnet
#

also i dont remember, but do trash mobs eventually stop chasing you if you just run long enough? Seems like today as a tank I'm just following everyone else to the boss room but the trash mob groups become almost as hard as the boss

#

might just do some dps for a bit before tanking again

#

get a feel of endwalker

I'm getting a 401 error when I'm trying to pay for a name change, triple checked the details of my card

#

not working

#

Any way to fix it?

tidal knoll
#

Should I anticipate to meld the current Lv90 DoH/DoL gear, or should the next post-expansion sets be craftable without melding? Do we know which X.XX patches they usually drop?

lethal mist
#

For the new raids, does it matter which of the 4 you do for the gear weekly? I assume the sword only drops on the 4th but the rest I mean? I'm farming the first for the card but unsure if I "need" to clear all 4 for all weekly drops or if the regular gear exchange item weekly limits are shared between all 4 anyway.

boreal storm
#

You get 1 drop per fight

#

So if you want all 4 drops, you do all 4 fights

#

Sword is counted separately

tidal knoll
lethal mist
#

I see thanks, will just do all 4 then no worries.

delicate field
#

so completing Eden's Gate: Sepulture (Savage) rewards a free 4 seater mount. as of being level 90 im EW, can we make a 8 ppl 90 group and just trivialize the entire dungeon and get a 4 seater with almost no effort?

#

think i could get a little bit of blackmage help? ive been leveling my blackmage and my damage is so low im pretty concerned

warped nest
#

Yeah, you still need to handle some mechanics though

If you’re not aware of mechanics, you’ll die

are the mechanics easily learned from youtube videos?

buoyant sorrel
#

When are peak hours for Europe?

soft flicker
#

is that updated for this expansion LC?

warped nest
#

General BLM rotation is, fire spells in fire phase do a lot of damage, repeat until out of MP, go into ice, recover MP, go into fire

#

Yes, chase

soft flicker
#

yeah thats basically what i doi

#

but my damage is so so low

#

im losiong to the white mage i play with

warped nest
#

What level are you?

soft flicker
#

73

warped nest
#

Do you get better gear?

#

What's your ilvl?

soft flicker
#

375

#

basically just have a level 60 necklace and thats all thats not really up to date

boreal storm
#

You should have scaven

warped nest
#

375 is low

soft flicker
#

i don't think tis so low that my damage should be as low as it is though.. im litreall;y doing half of the next dps

boreal storm
#

It’s literally 10 levels below

#

That’s not okay

warped nest
#

For reference, lvl 71 dungeon drops ilvl 395 ish gear

soft flicker
#

im only missing a necklace and ring

warped nest
#

Lvl 73 drop ilvl 400 gear

#

All your equipment has primary stats

tight plinth
#

Which ring should I use, one has CH and Tenacity the other has Determ and Skill speed?

warped nest
#

And they add up

#

Which job, Rowoon?

tight plinth
#

samurai

warped nest
#

Second choice

#

Assuming both have same amount of Strength

tight plinth
#

yep

soft flicker
#

could you tell me if this is generally right? i start the fight off with a fire 3 swfitcasted and then i use fire 4 until oom, and then i blizzard 3, blizzard 4, fire 4, and kinda repeat

boreal storm
#

TLDR SAM = Striking

soft flicker
#

while using ley lines and triplecast when appropricate, preferably on cooldown

warped nest
#

Do you weave thunder in between?

#

Some of the low level accessories are whacky

#

In that they don't have class requirements

soft flicker
#

oh, yeah sorryh

#

thunder as well

#

and i use any thunder procs

warped nest
#

I assume that's what threw Rowoon off

If an enemy has a hitbox with a full circle does that mean there are no positionals? Or is it only flank positionals?
