Crafted gear comes out at the same time as savage and new tome gear so technically no
think the best is to get legs/chest from the normal raid, as they're a hefty stat/ilvl increase and get rid of the piety on your leftside
so left side ||limbo|| (only 580 set atm) and right side ||eternal dark||?
yeah
yep
ilvl > stats
gotcha, i already got a ring of ||limbo|| so thatll be the only mix
oops forgot to spoiler-
well, accessories are the only raid item you need just 1 token for, so you might as well get another
everything else needs at least 2
what :D || just get it day 1 ||
so the maths won't line up
does the seal sweetener action buff gc and fc, or just gc?
don't need to spoil it honestly, the name itself isn't a spoiler
does anyone know why i cant do my dots anymore im lvl 33 arcanist but bios and miasma arent in my actions anymore
ew summoner overhaul
expansion came out, reworked summoner
no longer a dotter class, but actually a summoner
ohhh
so pretty much clear out your hotbars and assign all the skills you have again while reading the tooltips and some random guide
how do you pronounce "Ea"?
i see ty
Can you start turning in grade 4 restoration items straight away after unlocking it?
I just want the monkey mount 👀
Yeah then farm a class 2 80 and then spam the highest thing to farm scrips
Or passively level all ur crafters for scrips to get them all
All my crafters are 90 should be a breeze right?
what the hell is this? a glitch?
The crafted pentameld is more of a progression bis. It won’t matter after floor 3.
really only useful if you’re racing friends or worlds first
Ye. Just spam what you can afford and get monke
Arigatou Zekk- san . Hajimashite .
well, you still actually have to get the replacement gear
tomestones are capped and savage loot is more restricted
Yeah even then there’s no reason to dump millions of Gil to prog at the rate of a snail.
naturally, but it wont be instantly replaced if you do so either
That gear is designed to be replaced which is why I specified prog bis
But even then normal raid gear and the non pentameld set will give you clears
what is the shortcut key to make aetherytes on your map stand out again
If I press need on one item in the raids will that increase my chance of getting it?
No you pray to rng
Ctrl
But remember if you’re referring to current tier, only need what your class is chasing rn. You can always reclear the fight again for the loot
or need on whatever you want, just be aware that you’ll be locked out and not get the tokens you need if you roll on multiple pieces
Ok, so. If i start up the game once i install it(and once the servers are back to normal), and make a character, i can play for as long as i want, and lvl them to max lvl(for free trial), without needing to pay anything?
Assuming you have an active free trial and you can actually get in game, yes
not yet? Would be the first time i start up the game
well, i meant when the servers return to normal
correct
when i will be able to play, like any other new player
is there a special quest to get into the bramble patch or am I just being an idiot? The path seems covered by brambles ^^;
earliest ETA is sometime in February or March
Take the long way around
Ah, just a quick question: you shouldn't use Delirium and Blood Weapon at the same time, right?
back in ShB due to weird cooldown clipping that was correct
with the delirium changes it's now not terrible
that being said I don't know what the wizards over at the balance have figured out yet
So, you shouldn't, but it's acceptable? 
yeah cause delirium is now stacks instead of strictly time
I see, thank you.
but make sure to weave delirium before blood weapon
before, doing both in the same weave would've cost you one GCD of either
now you only have to time blood weapon
if you do
theres a more extensive guide on the balance if youre interested
but generally as long as you late weave blood weapon is fine
be it manually timed or 2nd in a double weave
Is there a way to not back paddle when in standard mode with controller? I don't like how the camera slowly pans when in legacy mode
bind left and right to strafe if you don't want the camera to move

Hey, what's the point of hunts ? Is there a checklist anywhere ingame ? Or it's just to kill time and the ressources it gives ?
To get hunt currency and or level, you have hunt bills
Ok I see thanks. So no point in checking them one by one ?
Is there any way to get around the sale freeze rn? My best friend wants to play with me and I’m excited to share this amazing game with him.
A ranks and S ranks give tomestones and unique hint currencies
And materia
They’re done by large groups in “hunt trains” regularly
what ilvl will the weapons be traded in for 7 unsung blades of A?
Thanks for the info @jade quartz 🙂
tower of zot on trust as a caster. are they serious? has anyone beaten that mess of AE in the last fight?
If there was, it wouldn't be much of a freeze, would it.
ok ty
Fair enough I guess lol.
is there a full version of the old sharlayan part of the trailer?
with the female vocals
No
how hard is it to get into healing? which are the best healers to start with?
No and conjurer
White Mage is the most straightforward
wb Sage?
Since its basic af and you have to start from the very beginning
What's wrong with sage? It's easy
ok someone has ptsd
Starting with Sage is the worst thing you can do to yourself if you've never healed before
A) I wanted to meme
What's the minimum ilvl I should get to start doing EXs?
B) you're jumping straight to sb/ShB content
that's unfortunate
check the ilvl requirements of the extremes
C) barrier healers require you to be proactive not reactive
I don't know where to find them, it's the first time I start with this
Look at the duty finder description
scroll down in the duty finder listing of the extreme
on the right side of your screen
also, please spoiler that image
That massive text box describing EVERYTHING about the duty
are there any other healers worth getting into?
But it doesn't say extreme anywhere
like, to start with
high end duty
Whichever you want, sage is just a terrible idea for a first healer
ah damn, thought it would be easy since it was level 70 to start with, oh well
The others start at 30
You're expected to be good at most jobs by 70
I heard that we are going to have craftable equipment that can be pentameld later next week but how big is the difference between the current trial and raid? Or those craftable are for those who dont really do trial nor raids?
Like here? It doesn't say anything about high end (or maybe I'm blind)
Pretty much even
heh
Avg. Item Level: 540
can't relate.
But that's just the normal version no?
I'm in Zadnor otherwise I'd show you
And for extremes it'll list it the exact same way
I'm so confused
how do you know which is extreme and which isn't?
I don't see anything like high end or extreme
You go to raid finder
At the top of the Duty Finder window, you'll see a second tab called "High-end duty"
Toward the top of the left side of Duty Finder you will see "High-End Duty" as an option
Extreme trials will be there
And look at the duties with EXTREME in the name
ahhhhh! This? It's greyed out
Have you unlock it first tho?
The current extreme trials for Endwalker are called "The Minstrel's Ballad: [trial name]"
You'll need to unlock the trials in Old Sharlayan, down near the docks at the Wandering Minstrel
How do I unlock them 🤤
-_-

Talk to a man with minster ballad quest in old sharlayan
Ohhhh, the game doesn't tell you tihs
thanks, I'll do that
It's the first time I got to this point of the game and I'm so overwhelmed
Its with Q+ icon
I mean the game expects you to get all blue quests anyway
Thank you
If you've just reached level 90, you've got five pieces of content you can unlock, all of which have their starter quests in Old Sharlayan
I don't think that's so reasonable, why should I complete all blue quests if I just want to do a particular thing
Both level 90 dungeons, the normal raid, and both extreme trials
Because they unlock good stuff anyway
That's good to know, thanks
Generally though, you do indeed want to get
blue quests done, they unlock systems or content
O yeah make sure to do the Q+ or blue quest, most of the time they are very valuable to your adventure
Good luck
I just want to party up and do difficult bosses and raids, that's it ;_;
I don't care about the rest
is it true that most high end groups need an AST for the party damage buffs?
Nope
my buddy swears that it's a necessity
Your buddy probably over-estimates how much damage the cards contribute
it's neat but not needed
it's just 6%
The cards contribute damage, but the other healers (currently) do more damage than an Astrologian
sage damage is kinda bop cause you heal with dps
Hey, I need some Macro Icon help?
I'm trying to make summon macros for Carbuncles and Egis, but using /micon will set it to the highest level of that spell
So what the Astrologian gains in giving damage to other people, it loses in its own damage
Is there any way to use the original Macro Icon?
AST is the DNC of healers
...yet i somehow outdamage samurais as a dnc which is concerning
nothing
Dancer does comparatively low damage by itself, but gives a lot of damage to the raid
the only shit class rn is mch
my buddy is obsessed with playing "the most complex class", so he went Ninja and wants to heal as AST
i dont find AST complex personally
Well, then he's probably biased towards the classes he's playing
not without a plugin iirc
Everyone needs a Ninja for Trick Attack!!! Everyone needs an Astrologian for cards!!!
y'know the deal
Every class is useful in some manner but there's certainly not a mandatory class that every group needs
damn :/
how is atrologian compared to academian?
aside from warrior rn
scholar?
yeah the nerd
warrior is just too broken to pass up tbh
why is warrior broken? i was leveling PLD but WAR sounds fun
I don't think it's possible, I'm afraid. While you're playing the class the action comes from, lower rank spells you called for simply doesn't exist as far as the game is concerned. Either it uses rank 1 (if you're not that class) or the rank you have (if you are)
Does reasonably good damage and can basically spam itself to full health constantly
oh that explains why i hardly have to heal warrios lol
and holmgang is the best invuln
i have a lvl 30 pugilist retainer, can they become a monk, or only at lvl 50?
30
ty
i'd be loathe to call holmgang the best inuvln
it's up the most often, sure, but it doesn't actually stop you taking damage
Damn. I wanted to set Carbuncles and Egi icons for those macro commands.
Living dead is garbage
certainly, but superbolide and hallowed ground actually immunise you to damage
superbolide puts yourself in heavy danger if the healers are still dealing with the other members in revives/healing and you can die after
hallowed is 7min cd
so it's garbage
healer has 10 seconds to get you to a reasonable health point
all invulns are garbage ez
that's plenty of time, and you only need to be at a high enough hp point to survive after superbolide wears off
and hallowed ground does have a long cd, but it's incredibly powerful for that point you do use it at
doesn't demand the healers do anything for you, and it's just a pure invuln
sure, but you get one at best per raid
all you may need
holm is arguably the best because its up the most, and war has tools to heal themselves up
what is an example of the proper use of hallowed ground? since it's such a long CD with short duration
if your healer is shitting themselves and cant keep up
all invulns aside from living dead are healer chill periods
that must be in very high content? I've finished EW as healer and never really felt like i couldn't keep up
like savage content and stuff?
invulns can also be used to cheese tankbusters
in dungeons you just use it as often as possible in place of stnadard mitigation because it's basically free and bosses don't have attacks that would kill you in one hit
or when you're getting spanked hardcore
in most single-target fights you savei t for big hits
25s miti 
so there's not really a situation where using an invulnerability is the only way to succeed a mechanic?
No
not unless doing solo content
no, becuase if they designed it that way, it would be not fun or imbalanced depending on the invuln
like soloing the hw extremes you need to use invuln on every one but ravana and moby dickus
everything can be dealt with without using an invuln
in the intended way*
an invuln can just allow you to approach mechanics in an... alternate fashion
which may make harder fights easier/simpler for your group
ideally you save it for a clutch
No
there are some mechanics in high end content you can mildly cheese w/ invulns like tank stacks or tank swaps but those don't exist in the majority of content.
invuls are very much a pre-planned mitigation
When was the white haired ||ancient version of Emet Selct|| first seen?
how many athersands are there for ew
zone 5 first quest
Was he ever seen before release of EW?
nope
no
no, the entirety of that segment of the game was not revealed outside of a very vague concept art
||EW was the first time we've ever seen any unsundered ancient in their original form, with exception to venat||
I saw some random art by Chinese players last February depicted him perfectly...
So I was really suprised
that may have just been very prophetic and coincidental fan-art
we knew he had white hair
||well, all you have to do is take off the garlean third eye||
from the short story on the lodestone
this seems like a better question for #archived-lore-spoilers or #916247709462200390
not
qnh
Wait we did?
yes
Yeah probably just fan art coincidence
definitely
Yeah I should probably head out
I see, never knew that part before
so for gamepad users, does anyone else experience random bouts of your inputs being "eaten" as if your gamepad has suddenly been disconnected?
it's a minor problem, but one that's reoccurred enough to warrant wanting to fix. plus, I'm pretty sure standing still for two seconds at a time because "oops, my controller ate inputs" is a bad thing in higher end content regardless
I have tested with multiple controller btw, one a duke re-release controller, the other an elite series 2
I solved my problem with macro icons
that certainly works 
And for the Egis I just used their minions 😛
if u delete a character, does the IGN become reusable?
yes

just bought endwalker and I gotta ask, are the servers still badly congested?
My server has been fine this week. Who knows what the weekend will bring.
Is there a way to buy the game right now?
No
no
Not the base game. Just the expansion.
Damn it, I really want to play it. I guess I’ll have to wait a few months for the servers to be back to normal
Hmm… now I wonder, can people who already own the game buy the base game and gift it to someone else?
Can you join a duty roulette with really low or destroyed gear?
You can, it’s just very much not recommended
Because i have no explanation for what just happend.
and let me guess, there is no way to repair in a instance?
Nope
well let's just say i ended up as the tank on rdm.
Is there only 1 mount to get from custom deliveries?
The game warns you if your gear is low
just out of curiosity (pld player), which tank or which 2 tanks are considered the best right now?
Yeah but that means people need to read
Buying the game is buying the game, regardless of whether you own a license already or not. The reason a person who already owns the base game can buy Endwalker is because they already own that license, so the key only adds the expansion.
If you own the full game, buy the Endwalker expansion for someone who doesn't own the game, and gift them the EW expansion key, it won't do them any good because they do not own the base game.
I wish that was the case but I don’t think it will work
Since the point is to not circulate any more copies it would be weird if it worked
How long do you guys think the suspension will last?
When the congestion stops
There's a roadmap in late January so
I assume
If people get bored of endwalker before then which is doubtful since savage is next week
how long does it take to get through the queue during the evenings for Aether servers? i wanted to resub/buy endwalker but i can only play a few hours in the evening and dont want to spend most of it waiting to play anyway
is there any way to change class without closing the crafting menu?
Couple hours, from experience.
thanks! guess i'll keep on waiting
that's a bit annoying
oh well
thanks
If I take a lvl 17 class to PoTD and reach lvl 30 inside will I get access to job skills?
no
Ayo I got a question about lore, where do I ask this
I googled it and it made even less sense to me
I need it dumbed down
Ok
can u solo ARR extremes wtih aug scav?
Yes
so i see couple of crafter leveling guides that tell me to NOT trade in for handsaints accessories, but why? especially when im still fulll on white scrips
For a tank in extreme trials, how often as are you popping defensive CD? Constant throughout a fight? Only on tank busters? Multiple on each tank buster?
boss's skill
Mainly busters and hard hitting sections
for auto attack, just use your 25 sec defensive on cd
during adds phase of ex2 it's helpful to the healers to use them, they hit hard
Mainly cause people stack them
in the few groups I've run with, we just have healers ignore assisting the DPS for their job and just have them focus on healing tanks
long as the dps aren't struggling to kill the crystals, i generally help out on dps'ing the adds
so I ask again because I don't think anyone ever got back to me on that, does anyone who use gamepad have a fix for inputs getting "eaten" by their controller seemingly disconnecting for about two seconds at a time?
so they die by the time we're down to one crystal
what does a star next to an item at the grand company delivery missions mean ?
2x bonus I think
ah ok
Can you buy items of the market board from another of your own characters?

Yep, that’s why you see random items that cost a bunch of Gil
why are gathering nodes grouped up in 2s?
Provided you don't fall off the boat in leviathan
Or titan
Titan doesnt get to knockback you
Landslide
So, after you finish Shadowbringers (the quest), you go to Grenoldt and he'll fashion you your artifact gear?
youll need to finish role quest
Ah, I did that.
No, before
You have access to the gear as soon as you finish his lamp quest
what are the most cost efficient ways to use gathering skills?
Please get it before the final dungeon and trial
You mean I could've done the final Trial and cutscene in 80 DRK AF 
I am so dumb.
Reading, it’s important
I did read, but people had told me that you had to finish the final quest to get it...
Isn't there a min ilevel
You literally get forced to go there 
I see I was egregiously misinformed.
Final trial requires 540 so it's strongly encouraged
Cleared the final trial fine, we wiped once on the first mechanic and then the WAR left, forcing me to main tank.
We're talking about Shadowbringers by the way
Not Endwalker
Trial roulette.exe
Oh
to be able to finish the 5.0 quests you need to finish a role questline, and the dialogue leading up to said quest involves discussion of the armor... their wording was misleading when they told you what you need
My equipment throughout the entire 5.0 MSQ was Scaevan gear 

Ugh
Never trust a Burger King crown
R you on aether
Truly

quick Dancer question! Why can't I use "fan dance IV" when I'm under the effect of "Fourfold fan dance"?
Are you high enough level, and did you use Flourish?
I guess? level 89
!action fan dance iv
!action flourish
Are you synced under level 86?
It’s a cone AoE so it requires a target
fan dance III is useable but Fan dance IV
Where are you trying to use it?
Do you have an enemy targeted?
In what context?
Attacking enemies
Again are you synced below 86
Where
Ilsabard
Are you doing a FATE?
Do you have an enemy targeted
Do Cid's Goggles still go under your hair?
so
I want them, but they're incompatible with my preferred hair if they are.
no sid Goggles
why not just try again and look at the error message that pops up
It doesn't get the yellow/golden ring around it like fan dance III
Is it lit up though?
Like a normal active ability?
I don't think IV gets the proc ring
doesnt that just mean you havent used flourish
"cannot use yet"
Then you didn't use Flourish
no
You do know that’s a proc
You don't need Flourish for III
From using feathers
fan dance 3 has a 50% chance from fan dance 1 or 2
!action fan dance ii
50% chance of granting threefold fan dance
!action flourish
yes. I use fan dance and Fan dance II and get fan dance III
You need to push that specific button. The one called Flourish.
But did you flourish
The one I just linked
So you haven’t used flourish
That’s the only way to use it
I totally forgot that was an ability....
Dude
...
It’s an extremely important button
Every 60s
thats ok! the important thing is you know now
funny thing is... Dancer doesn't have detphs
Ok

Yeah DNC optimization can get interesting
I rust reinstalled ffxiv. And had to re arrange every action button XD
It has greater than zero depth.
!faq thebalance
imma just leave that there
You’d do well to consult a dancer guide
can people have the same name on 2 diff worlds?
See the balance link
Yep
Yeah and 2 people with the same name can be in a party I think
lol wow
If the 2nd one moves over to that world they have to change names
You can have a party with four people with the same name, in theory.
Yes they will be differentiated by their @server suffix
As long as they're all on different worlds.
ty friends
So with flourish. Should I only use fan dance IV since it's more damage?
since it's the only way to use it
No
You should use it on cd.
You use all the procs
And you should use all of the procs.
AoE or ST for the finishers, as appropriate.
Start with FD3 though so if you cap on feathers, you can just use them.
It gives all the procs, it doesn’t get consumed after one is used
!faq thebalance

Flourishing Symmetry and Flourishing Flow are now shared between the ST and AoE finishers.
So you only get two finisher hits instead of four out of it.
basically the more you press fan dance 3,4, 1(in single target situations), 2(in aoe situations), reverse cascade and fountainfall (in single target), bloodshower and rising windmill(in aoe) the better ur damage
so aim to press those as much as possible
while keeping your steps on cooldown
but more damage buttons you push the better ur damage is gonna be 
yeah. I've have not unlocked Foutianfall yet though
wh
How
Yes you have
yes you have
wrong!
its the yellow one
meant Starfall xD
It’s a starter ability

!trait enhanced dervish
Anyway devilment is what procs star fall
!action devilment
Increases critical hit rate and direct hit rate by 20%.
Duration: 20s
Additional Effect: Party member designated as your Dance Partner will also receive the effect of Devilment
Additional Effect: Grants Flourishing Starfall
Duration: 20s
I'm playing on of the simplest classes yet I'm confused. I'm getting old
dervish 
Devilment that’s it
yeah the crit buf
Bruh, play the lvl 60 class quest
finished with the class quest bruh
Also there’s a miniguide on the ffxiv website
I know this is an asinine question but.
What's the easiest collectible to make and how can I make 5,000 of them for the PlayStation trophy
can someone give me a basic idea of what im supposed to do roation wise with an early level arcanist
im just slow or something cause I dont get it
BS ur way to lvl 30 and learn the real rotation
Casual DNC is pretty easy. Standard Step on cd. Tech Step on cd. Devilment and Flourish immediately following Tech Step. Use your procs from Flourish. Tilana. Standard Step. ST/AoE follow the shiny buttons until Flourish is up. Flourish again. Use feathers either as you proc them or whenever you have four on preference. Weave Saber Dance whenever you have 50+ Esprit gauge.
That's like, very bare-minimum, not parsing for dps DNC.
In the low levels, don't worry about a rotation. Read your tooltips and cast what makes sense.
how early is early
is there acually any reason to save up all 4?
I say this bc its almost entirely different once you hit that lvl
Start with aethercharge then use up each of your carbuncle summons and the gemstone charges they give you
If you want to use them all at once in a burst window.
no thats a good point, Ill probably just do that its a better idea lol
ah right. pop a potion and buff up. Not a bad idea
eh if theyre playing it casually it doesnt matter imo
For memories of dying, should I just farm them in bozja?
Nah, more like when a NIN uses Trick Attack, or RDM uses uhh... Acceleration?
It’s courteous to your fellow players.
Burst window also means your devilment and other party buffs
hmm
never seen any people do that much of a teamwork imo
save that for later
^replace Bahamut/Phoenix with aethercharge
And it works the same
ACN/SMN rotation stays largely the same all the way to 90
i shall simply say fair and move on
Best to try anyway, you’ll push out more dmg meaning more dead things.
if its like dungeons and stuff w/e
Burst windows usually sync up if people are at least doing their openers right. So TA and your Tech + Devilment, and a DRG's buffs, etc. should all be going off every 2 minutes or so.
All at the same time.
That's a burst window.
in theory
In theory yes.
PF is not a vacuum
It fall down to pure luck
At worst, use your own cd timers as your burst window. When you hit Tech + Devilment, that's when you should be blowing all four feathers as well.
Its not RNG but some players forget to press buttons
Burst windows should align automatically
You can at least tell what buffs are up from your buff list
The buffs from other players are just an extra reason... you don't need that to have a good reason to use as many of your high potency skills during Devilment as you can.
should
Should and often do
Less so than it was, but yes.
You should play bard
They made Esprit not entirely RNG anymore.
Which is nice, because it puts Saber Dance into regular use.
I did. Choose to be a dancer since it "was" a better(?) supportive class
still is though
All ranged but MCH have procs
Actually fair, but used to be. Straight shot still rng tho
like everything with dancer is 50/50
Which from experience is high enough to not be annoying
^
You can force proc Straight Shot/Refulgent Shot with Barrage now.
i mean yeah but it still very much is rng
Do beast allowances refund if I take and then drop a quest?
yes
but yeah DNC nad BRD, both are decent ranged support class
I kinda like it. sometimes my damage is way up there but sometimes down there
BRD is killing it rn tbh
BRD feels so good this expansion.
that why I like Dancer and bard. fun support class
I leveled it a little bit ago and was surprised how much nicer it feels.
Don’t call em support classes
anyone know what the best thing to craft rn to make gil? im 80 on all crafters, trying to make $ before the lvl 90 push
"semi supportive class"
what is critical HP?
Context?
seems solid, thats what i did when 80 was max, ig nothing has changed haha
dunno what the healy bits are
Get a crit
Yeah, get a crit with it.
ah, ty
Basically big shield.
Like damage skills, heals can crit too
I mean you have a week b4 savage so either go cul for food or whatever one makes potions. Or lvl the armor jobs and pump out crafting gear next week for mega money
also
is there any reason to use physik over adlowhatever?
physik has 25% more potency, but I think I read something about it scaling weird?
Crit heal + galvanize (which scale from your heal) + catalyze (bonus from crit heal)
okay, thanks
Your crit adlo is very very potent
Hey guys, how important are DoH/DoL for endgame progression? And if so is there a good up-to-date guide on how to get started on them?
could a pentameld 80 pump out the gear?
We dont know the reqs yet but assuming its from a book I assume not?
It is very important if you want to have best possible gear on week 1
Not critically important. They're useful if you don't want to be buying from other people, but not required.
Only for skipping the up front gear grind, otherwise you'll be moving onto raid gear soon enough
i see, im still trying to figure out how to the the next level master recipe books, unless they aren't doing those
Scrips
the 90 ones are coming next week. someone correct if wrong
Yeah, 90 Master books will be out next week with Savage
oh damn, okay looks like i need to get going
Like I said just do cooking or potion class and youll make money throughout the entire patch cycle
yeah im gonna pump out my cul rn
I only do cooking bc I dont like the other crafters
HQ food will sell for the entire expansion.
Definitely worth the time and effort if you want to make easy money.
^
awesome, thanks so much

why does hall of novice force me to use physik
I removed it from the bar
I'm not sure where to readd it from?
bc its hall of novice
Because it's your most basic heal.
Press P
And your only low level direct heal until you get Aetherflow heals.
thanks
found it
The rest of your SCH healing abilities are shields, which don't count as actual healing.
aldo has heal too, though?
!action adloquium
Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 300
Additional Effect: Grants Galvanize to target, nullifying damage equaling 180 % of the amount of HP restored. When critical HP is restored, also grants Catalyze, nullifying damage equaling 180 % the amount of HP restored.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with certain sage barrier effects.
can a tank class take on a dps role?
No
Tanks are tanks. Dps are dps. Healers are healers.
You can't queue as a different role.
oh ok
tanks can do more DPS than a DPS and are often referred to as blue dps
Don't confuse them.

i was thinking of being warrior but i didnt wanna tank :p
We won't mention blue and green dps.
Yeah, WAR is a tank role.
It will always be a tank.
Warrior is probs the easiest tank to play atm
And you'll be expected to take on tanking responsibilities if you're playing WAR.
^
are there any melee classes that are dps role?
Several
five of them
Monk, Samurai, Reaper, Dragoon, and Ninja are all melee.
Pugilist, Lancer and Rogue are the starting classes
SAM requires that you own Stormblood and reach level 50 with any other combat class.
also, some note
teeechnically Rogue isn't a starting class
you need to get to level 10, then get to Limsa to change to it
Every melee that isn't a tank
Reaper and Dragoon gear mostly shares models with tank gear
Which is most of them
hey guys, how do I make it so the highlighted sections are both on the same side (like both on the right instead of one on the left and one on the right)
You can move the abilities manually.
Nah it's not an issue with the abilites, its the menu itself
?
like on my last pc the highlighted parts used to both be on one side.
but idk how to get that setting back
Ohhh, I see what you mean.
Yeah, that's actually really weird, it shouldn't be doing that.
Hmm, maybe in your hotbar settings?
where do I go for hotbar settings?
Should be under System Configuration
char config -> hotbar -> cross
Is there a way to set tab to focus on the lowest health enemy
fixed it tyvm
no
there are a number of targeting keybinds thou, see if something helps
@steep egret how do I set it so that way when I kill an enemy it targets another enemy, I always forget to hit tab again after killing an enemy and I’m just sitting there hitting a spell for nothing lol
you can't, as far as i know, the game has a setting for auto targeting, but it doesn't work well in my experience
and im fairly sure its on by default
That setting just makes you target an enemy that attacks you if you do not already have a target
Oh I see
We will probably have a maintenance next Tuesday right?
Don't know how long tho?
enable auto target, seee if thats on
It just gets confusing to target especially in raids or pvp fronts
how do I make gil from poetics
@steep egret I’ll check that out thanks
but yeah, you'll have to learn some muscle memory, either tabbing, or clicking targets
Yes guaranteed
Yeah
there is also the enemy list
For Savage patch
you can click that
I recommend enabling “cone” mode for tab targeting
yeah same
It ensures you only target enemies towards the centre of your camera view
Rather than Jim Bob away in the corner
its still janky, but less so
i also bind target nearest enemy
to an easy access key
Thanks I will def try that, I usually click to target but sometimes there’s like 20 enemies or people in the way lol
thats where target nearest enemy is nice, if you just wanna grab the closest to wail on them
otherwise, the enemy list, if you need to target say, a boss
What is target the target of your current target
What it says on the tin
you are A, attacking B, which is attacking C; A will target C
Exactly what it says on the tin
Like if you are currently targeting the boss, pressing that key bind will switch your target to whichever player the boss is currently targeting
Useful for targeting the current "main" tank
I.e. usually the main tank
I use it all the time as a healer
Ohhh so that’s more of a healers thing ig
Can be useful for stuff like bard’s nature’s minne too
It's bound to T by default
Which is a single target buff to healing received
Q: where can I get a level 70+ Spearfishing gig. I need a replacement for my Fisherman Secondary slot. I cant seem to find it in the script vendor nor marketplace
You don't
that's the only gig you get
its level 61. thats it? heh.
want moar stats 🙂
I guess it's the odd job in the gathering job. k,..ty
yeah spearfishing got a rework
generally do i get more gil by getting company seals for my items rather than selling them directly to a vendor?
Do we get artifact gear in EW after the msq?
Company seals
During the MSQ
What do i buy with company seals for max money?
is there a list of any blue quests that are essential to do?
Oh I see, I’m nearing the end of the msq but I haven’t seen an npc that offers a gear quest. Where is he?
Ah kk
ty
You get a long unskippable cutscene meeting some npcs
how do you see what tomes you have bought so i don't buy duplicates?
If you’re carrying the items on you, the game won’t let you buy them
Assuming you mean tomestone gear
Using the book prevents you from buying another
thank you
does gear matter on a rdm lvl90 retainer
is there a discord server or group that does mount hunting?
usually i only do quickventures
My lv46-ish retainer with poop gear brings me lv50 green gear tops
so I'd say it does
From what I heard, combat retainers currently need i575 or so to completely max out
alright mightaswell just use the aphorism tomestones then
are we allowed to talk about ACT and logs in this discord
Yes.
Yee
trying to figure out how to optimize my warriors "rotation" to parse better
does the 3 bonus quest from ranking up in beast tribe takes a daily quest allowance?
press buttons on CD, DPS go BRRRRT
yes
So 6 total allowances used
Anyone have some tips on healing through wall to wall pulls with sage?
currently i'm reaper rn, Lv86. But I cant use this weapon skin . Equipped weapon is Lv80, and the weapon skin is Lv81
Equipped weapon too low level
I can do it easily with any other healer but struggle alot with sage so kinda wondering what I'm doing wrong?
Your equipped weapon needs to be 81 or higher
okie, thanks guys
Krasis > Physis > Kerachole post 78 basically covers everything
Throw (pan)Hamia afterwards and Terachole
Throw Soteria whenever
Ah I'm lvl 76 atm
Hitting 78 will be a big boost to your dungeon healing
Tell them to play warrior
Then Physis and Terachole
Remember Physis boosts your healing for 10s
So make use of it
O right forgot about that
does anyone keep full sets of ARR Dungeon gear? what's the point?
Glams ig? Easy gear for alt jobs
i've been using my saddlebag to keep all the ARR gear sets and using them for alt jobs, but almost every dungeon has 2 sets lol
i think i'll keep the ones that look good
Fair enough. Don’t feel pressured to keep the stuff either
You can always go back and get it if you need to
a lot of stuff also have a crafted version later on
thought maybe with slight color changes
like the aurum war set is hideous, but the aurum cuirass set looks 🔥
oh shiii how do you know if something is craftable?
If it's white gear, it's usually craftable
can't craft greeen stuff?
wack
Ye. You’ll see it when you look at the MB more
Some gear will share models with one another but it won't always be a 1:1 copy
so drops are "market prohibited", and if it's not on the MB then its also not craftable?
thats wack yo
but i don't think i've seen ARR stuff marketable, maybe the stuff lvl 15 or below
Dungeon loot is usually untradeable
I've seen darkhold stuff on the marketboard
But from HW dungeons up they're all untrabeable
15
Does anyone know if there's a quest you need to do to unlock custom deliveries for fishing specifically? I've unlocked all the custom delivery people, and next fishing quest is level 60 one, and I'm level 70 fishing 🤔 Just wondering how to get the collectible fish. Same as regular fishing?
I went to clean out most of the gear I can readily get back from the dresser
Turn on the glove
😳 What is the glove
what is this item for https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Discal_Tomestone
Notification arra
well
too late now
I'll keep that in mind, though, thanks
Same place where loot notification shows
Sorry it looks like this
This makes more sense and i'm realizing I had actions I hadn't added to hot bars yet 😔 duh. Thank you!!
So I’m picking up Summoner right now after the big change and I’m level 35. Is there a specific order I should summon Ifrit, Titan and eventually Garuda when I’m in Aethercharge?
Oh. I thought I had to do all three no matter what?
You do
is the first tier of pentamelded raid gear going to be the level 88 stuff or are there master recipes coming out with 6.05?
But don't summon ifirit when you need to move alot, do a different summom
you will want to do all three ideally because they all fall in between your bahamut/phoenix windows
Ah. I see what you mean then. For more basic fights I can just summon in any other then.
at a low level you dont have a bahamut window
but you do have that buff window
bahamut just replaces it
Dungeon experience doesn’t scale
It gives the same at all levels when not done as part of a roulette with the daily bonus
will the master crafting recipes soon to be released require white or purple scrips? what was it like in previously?
White
White scrips
ok ty
It uses the non level cap scrips
what is limit break and how can i use it?
press P > general > drag it to hotbar
4million is 40% of 10 million and 33.3333% of 12 million.
So if you're going by percentages of your next level up, it is less
oh, sorry, i forgot to ask, is there any reason/benefit you decided to switch grand companies?
Idk about now but number wise you got (small) xp penalty when defeting enemy with level lower than you. Noticed this when burning same mob but get leveled up mid dungeon back before 6.0
ah i thought it would give different quests and stuff
is the fastest way to lvl a tank to spam dungeons?
Are you sure that wasn't just your rested exp running out?
Or you hitting 70 and hitting the armoury exp threshold?
No, it still have full bar
And iirc this is very noticeable on ARR dungeon where you can enter like up to 4-5 levels higer. Exp when then enemy lvl is same as you give bigger when you like at max lvl sync (lvl 28 Haukke manor vs 31 haukke manor)
From 15-71 yes. After 71 you can do bozja or dungeon spam to 90
15
Not 1
Nice catch ty
But with current system with only boss giving exo its harder to test. Need to beat first boss -> quit -> level up -> test again
Maybe if i remember i'll tell test it
i see. thanks. i wish i could make my mind between a paladin and a gnb
Why not both? :3
Warrior :3
😭
Ah yes, a tank main
Including floor tank
If you like feelings busy play GNB, PLD still feels like a good tank overall. dont look at the DPS metric bc its not a reflection of how the job plays at all
!faq meta
also that ^
Flip a coin or do both
monk question here, do form shift & PB give bootshine laden fist bonus? or just the 100% crit?
right. How do i see dps meters btw? or do i see public ones?
There's a mount in it for you if you hit 80 on all of them
there are no dps meters in game
!faq acr
You need to use 3rd party plugin

lmao
Legit just dont mention it and nothing happens
class quest is still important ?
Mandatory
Class quests all important
!lvlgde
Skip it and you're basically griefing
help
they don't let me use addons? i wish i could hide some buttons on my hotbars
#kupo-bot-spam
It's altlvlguide
just dont talk about it in game
Then take the skills off your hotbar
!altlvlguide
There's an in game option to hide unused slots
i want a mount button floating on the side but the other 11 buttons are showing :|
Go to #kupo-bot-spam
#kupo-bot-spam
by class quest I mean. DPS questline, tank, healer
What did I just say
its still not working :(
Character configuration > hotbar > hide unused slots
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
role quests not necessary for endwalker
You need faq infront of bot commanss
Whatever is at 2 is mandatory
they just unlock the dyeable AF
AF?
faq?
Yes
artifact armor
ah
its not mandatory But its apparently gonna have more added on to it later, I assume its world building but for now its just dyeable job specific gear
Faq altlvlguide
yeah. I had to complete the last one to finish the story
Shadowbringers role quests ARE mandatory
ty
Endwalker ones are not
it kind of ruins the pacing if you reach the end of the game and realize you have to do an entire quest chain to complete it
Because you didn't read
yeah
Even though the game told you waaaaay in advance
