questions-and-help

[limber hound]

Depends on your timezone, I guess

[slate arrow]

also depends on the server

[limber hound]

also JP queues in general have calmed down significantly, but seems like NA queues are still rampant

[boreal storm]

It really ramps up at like 5pm(?) for NA

[slate arrow]

for the most part though peak is noon to midnight on most NA servers

[carmine shell]

were gonna have cross data center queueing?

[cosmic fern]

Question that I'm not sure whether should go here or in #technology-discussion since it's FFXIV-related: how exactly would one go about using a VPN to avoid NTT..? For the past week or so, I've been having consistent lag spikes from around 10PM-2AM EST that I've traceroute'd to being caused by NTT, and I've read that using a VPN can avoid the problem, but I can't find anything explaining how exactly it works or how to set it up..

[slate arrow]

by avoiding the bad node or whatever it is that is causing the issue

forcing a different route avoids the oil slick

[boreal storm]

Don’t think we have the exact details on how queueing will work

[carmine shell]

if everyone passes on tokens a player can get all the loot?

[boreal storm]

No

They get their 1

[cosmic fern]

All but one piece of loot will be just deleted..

Assuming you're not locked out of your own loot roll already too..

[slate arrow]

you can't pass tokens/pages, those go straight into your inventory

[carmine shell]

i mean w.e the raid tokens are called for gear

oh you were talking about savage

[slate arrow]

that is why i linked the savage loot faq yes

[eternal spindle]

uh is the game changing the light color scheme of my keyboard normal?

[carmine shell]

you meant an alt to benefit another person

okay i think that makes sense now

[boreal storm]

They said that already, yeah

[carmine shell]

youre using your non-clear in order to get a chest that you can give to someoen else

[slate arrow]

most gaming keyboards have some integration with FFXIV, check your hardware manager thingy whatever to see the details

[carmine shell]

the person in question was ambigious, it wasnt clear if it was for the player oon the alt or someone else

[eternal spindle]

I see...thank you. Never happened to me before so odd

[astral tulip]

is there an orchestrion roll for the garlemald radio song?

[boreal storm]

.

[carmine shell]

yeh just saw that

[slate arrow]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/White_Snow_Black_Steel_Orchestrion_Roll

[cosmic fern]

Is Mudfish dece enough to fix it..? It seems like the cheapest option if the only reason I'm getting a VPN is for this..

[slate arrow]

Gotta get rank 3 in garlemald

66 fates

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[cosmic fern]

Sorry..

[slate arrow]

i literally cannot tell you as I myself have not had that issue

as its a vpn though, it probably will

[astral tulip]

alr got that.. im talking bout this one and that isnt it :<

[manic rune]

i don't think that track is available as a roll yet

did a quick search of the game items and there's nothing with that name

[ripe hound]

Do we know when will the maintenance on Tuesday begin and when will it end?

[astral tulip]

oof :< i wish they'll release it.. it's beautifully eerie

[manic rune]

yes https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/news/detail/7a82ea472a32c963eb335759d7f860e022870776

[ripe hound]

Oh cool, thanks!

[manic rune]

this is savage maintenance so i don't think it will come up early unlike other patches

due to the world first race

[ripe hound]

hm... I can't decide if I want to wake up on 2am that day...

I'm no world first, just casual PF raider

But I feel like maybe 2 am players are quite good?

[manic rune]

hour 1 raiding is always fun, up to you if you think it's worth the sleep sacrifice lol

[ripe hound]

Yeah... it took me a while to finally stabilize my sleeping schedule

After Endwalker Launch

Since I binged EW MSQ and it hurt my schedule lol

Also players are generally not bad even at like... 9 am right?

People who woke up and raid are still like... semi-hardcore?

"You guys raid in the morning? Wow such filfy casuals"

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any way to remove the "this item is unique and blablabla" noticement? everytime i want to sell the item it give me that prompt

[dense pier]

I could have sworn there was a super OP, cheap gathering skill (at high level) that dramatically increased how much of something you got but prevented them from being HQ? Did this ability get removed? I'm trying to collect a bunch of lower-level stuff

[slate arrow]

Pick Clean was removed

I miss it

[paper goblet]

I’m lvl 55 paladin and I can’t use goring blade (unlocked at lvl 54). Any help? I haven’t learned it yet

job quests

every single job has skills locked behind job quests

!faq whynojobquest

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

[tall nest]

If you accidentally open the chat during a cutscene, is there no way to close it?

[dense pier]

Does that mean there isn't an easy way to mass-gather lower level stuff then?

[ripe hound]

Yeah, it basically invalidated pretty much all other gathering skills

[smoky glade]

to get the push up emote, is it 10 unique command missions or can i repeat the same dungeon 10x?

[ripe hound]

You just kinda adjust and use what you have

[tall nest]

I'm in one of those long-series-of-cutscenes parts and I accidentally pressed the button

[ripe hound]

rightclick chat hide

[tall nest]

thanks

not sure how I missed that before

[carmine shell]

is potd 51-60 the best xp for leveling?

[slate arrow]

the best xp for levelling will always be doing the highest level leveling dungeon

[boreal storm]

If your queues are really bad, I guess

[spiral inlet]

is data center travel coming in 6.1?

[slate arrow]

tenatively yes

after 6.1

[pure copper]

for ARR relic quests, does the initial weapon have to be NQ?

[static flower]

hey everyone, im coming back to the game after a long time and was wondering if theres any reliable best of class type lists I can look at? ive found a few and they seem to wildly disagree on which roles are best to play

[slate arrow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[keen shell]

Hey if someone has a free trial rn, are they just SoL, and can't upgrade to the full version?

[slate arrow]

correct

[keen shell]

oof

can't get those spare servers soon enough

[spiral inlet]

Well servers are getting alot less congested... but we'll see next week

[carmine shell]

i think hype is finally really dying down

even after 6./1 i dont think itll last as long or be nearly as bad as ew

[mystic tapir]

hi all, i just unlocked Desynth with my lvl 33 CUL but the Desynthesis is still greyed out on the menu... what am I missing?

[sand terrace]

Do multiple medica II stack?

[slate arrow]

the unlock quest in uldah

[mystic tapir]

I did the quest but desynthesis is still greyed out in the menu

[boreal storm]

From the same person, no

[sand terrace]

But with other WHM?

[slate arrow]

do you have any fish then

because CUL can only desynth fish

[mystic tapir]

wait... get out... CUL can only desynth fish.... do I have to get all DoH to get able to desynth anything?

[pure copper]

is kupo bot sometimes inaccurate on prices? i tried looking up an aeolian scimitar, but the prices kupo had didnt match what i saw on the boards

[slate arrow]

[craggy tinsel]

Is there a list anywhere of the total number of keybinds any given job has at 90 rn?

[spiral inlet]

how do I take advantage

of 0% tax

[lone spruce]

How come my character on Crystal isn’t showing up?

[spiral inlet]

does he already

have shadowbringers done?

[slate arrow]

speak to the retainer vocate

[lone spruce]

No I just made him

Just finished tutorial

[slate arrow]

servers congested, wait anywhere from 1 to 10 hours

[lone spruce]

Made him several days ago, just progressed past tutorial tho

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[carmine shell]

tell him to buy a skip

buy all skips

[dense pier]

Ahhhhh

Did they remove the "max-HQ" skill too

Let you max-hq lower-level items instantly

in 1 move

Is it possible to get Krile's hairstyle ||(unhooded as shown in EW)||? Mogstation or otherwise?

!action trained eye

[zinc orbit]

**Trained Eye** : lvl 80 CRP (250 CP) (0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Increases quality by 100%.

Available only on the first step. Recipe level must be at least 10 levels below yours.
Cannot be used with expert crafting recipes.

Powered by XIVAPI

[dense pier]

I found it now. They increased the level of it

[boreal storm]

No it’s still 80

[dense pier]

It wasn't a year ago i think?

because I used it non-stop once I got it

to make HQ lower-level stuff to sell on the market

[craggy tinsel]

It was always 80, but you required level 70 or below recipes to use it. Now max level is 90, so it can be used on 80 and below recipes.

[dense pier]

What

That makes no sense because none of my crafters are Lv80

and I remember having a skill that i pressed once and I HQ'd

[craggy tinsel]

Well it isn't accessible before 80, lol

[boreal storm]

Then you never learned it

[dense pier]

I am so confused

[craggy tinsel]

You probably had high stats on a low recipe and pressed one button and it would finish, if I had to guess

[dense pier]

Maybe

Literally mandela rn

[craggy tinsel]

Alternatively your "one button" was a macro

[dense pier]

No, definitely wasn't that

[craggy tinsel]

I just know it definitely isn't Trained Eye, if you weren't 80+.

[dense pier]

So then here's a question.

Obviously I can just look up macros and FFXIVTeamcraft app but... as someone who quit the game for an entire year how do i even get back into crafting? They've changed some things, and even then I barely remember what skills to be using.

It's not like the combat classes where you can whack at a dummy and slowly learn your rotation.

[steel canopy]

Hilariously enough, there are dummies for craftiing. Look up Trial Synthesis

[dense pier]

I'm aware of that, but I feel like it's not the same since you can't just regen your CP mid-craft and whatnot

[chilly briar]

Hey anyone know best gear for materia farming while ARR relic grinding?

[limber hound]

CP regens during trial synthesis?

[outer mural]

it shouldn't?

[dense pier]

I said it doesn't

[fiery sail]

fair warning, dungeons are still usually the best way

[void cobalt]

Havent been on in a while, was there an update when voicechat will be back on?

[cursive ridge]

it is a very, very, very inefficient use of your time, and unless you're free trial, it is multitudes of times more efficient to just buy it from the marketboard

[limber hound]

If it doesn't regen, then won't it be an accurate representation of the actual attempt

[cursive ridge]

that said if you want to suffer

[limber hound]

the CP regen skill would be rng, both in trial and in actual

[cursive ridge]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Increased_Spiritbond_Gain
has the least of gear and consumables that increase spiritbond gain

and https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Spiritbond has some tips

[ember magnet]

new to tanking, below lv50, trying to do big pulls of 2 packs-ish, but keep dying
is it because my gear sucks, my healer sucks, or I just can't do this kind of things at low levels?
I pop all mitigation and stuff

[outer mural]

I think they were clarifying that it doesn't regen passively

there is no actual difference between a trial and real synthesis

[cursive ridge]

below 50 lvl, your healer is the one that decides if you survive or not

[craggy tinsel]

Though, just a curiosity: do you pop them all at once or stagger them over time?

[limber hound]

I might be misreading, I guess

but I also don't use trial synthesis

[ember magnet]

I've died even while popping all at once

[craggy tinsel]

You generally don't want to pop all at once

[outer mural]

what dungeon is this

[chilly briar]

Ah ok

I just stick to buying it then

[craggy tinsel]

Below 50 is the important part lol

[chilly briar]

Figured would save me some time and effort but I guess not since unsynced be even worse runs

[outer mural]

I mean

some dungeons just have really hard pulls

it really depends on what pull he's talking about

[cursive ridge]

unsynced gives no xp, so no spiritbond

[chilly briar]

Ahhhh

[solemn jewel]

Pulling big in aurum isn't like pulling big in totorak

[ember magnet]

the most recent ones I've done are

[cursive ridge]

dzemael has a gimmick

you should stand in the light of the crystal

[ember magnet]

yea i pull to the light of the crystal

[cursive ridge]

to get like -90% damage taken or more, something like that

[fossil bloom]

out of curiosity about jobskipping: does it also skip all the job quests or do you have to do them all over again?

[solemn jewel]

Job quests are skipped

[outer mural]

what is your gear

[ember magnet]

lv44 stuff mostly

so basically, I can do big pulls in these low level dungeons as long as my gear is updated, and if I die its because my healer sucks

?

[cursive ridge]

if your healer is a newbie or isn't ready, you'll die

[outer mural]

how fast do you die

[cursive ridge]

if your healer is experienced and is ready to spamheal you, you're fine

[outer mural]

do you just get burned down or do you not get healed enough over a period of time

[ember magnet]

i don't get healed enough

[outer mural]

so yeah it may not be a gear issue and you've had bad luck with competent healers

[solemn jewel]

U do use all ur tools including ur invuln right

[outer mural]

i would just recommend asking how big they want their pulls to be

[cursive ridge]

invuln is level 50 i think

[ember magnet]

i dont have an invuln

yet

[solemn jewel]

You have holmgang in dzemael im p sure

[outer mural]

they're 44, holm's 45 i think

[cursive ridge]

looking, holm is 42

[outer mural]

oop

[solemn jewel]

We all seem to be dumb

[cursive ridge]

hallowed ground is 50

[outer mural]

[ember magnet]

paladin yea

[cursive ridge]

living dead is 50

[ember magnet]

no invuln yet

[cursive ridge]

superbolide is 50

so i was 75% right

[solemn jewel]

Imagine not having ur invuln at 42 /j

[plain frigate]

was wondering does the yellow mean quest?

[solemn jewel]

Yes

[cursive ridge]

ishgard front of house fortemps

[ember magnet]

well, I'm gonna try again then, job won't level itself

[plain frigate]

i cant find the quest lmao

[ember magnet]

how should I stagger my mitigation?

[solemn jewel]

Just ask ur healer if they're ready

[plain frigate]

thanks

[ember magnet]

playing in jp region

can't just ask and expect them to understand

[solemn jewel]

Worth a shot

Big pull ok? Should suffice

yellow marks means sidequests to get flying in that zone have been fulfilled

When do I use improv for DNC

Oh right, i spend too long with the moogle lel

[arctic wraith]

Howdy! Anyone know when the Retainer’s Journey from the shop will update from level 80 to level 90?

Is it usually on the x.1 patch or what? I’m interested in balling out on some retainers but it feels like a scam that they only get boosted to level 80, lol

[shrewd kiln]

Is there a macro to equip a single item from the armoury chest? Not a full gearset

[steel aspen]

do retainers' gear or jobs matter?

for context, i just spam quick ventures

[rugged flicker]

So how exactly do the three red crystals on the red mage gauge work?

[solemn jewel]

After 3 u can do ur verholy combo.
However unlike pre-ew u don't need to do the proper single target combo to get verholy.

[solemn jewel]

So it now works on 3xaoe or even when messing up thr single target rota

[cosmic pilot]

How to clear aggro from training dummy? I have to move quiet a distance to clear it

[cursive ridge]

right click its health frame, reset target enmity

[cosmic pilot]

[wispy orbit]

where did the starlight mobile come from?

[cursive ridge]

the vendor

you can go and buy it now

should I buy more than one starlight mobile? I am very new and don't have a house or anything so I don't know how furnishings work exactly

[cursive ridge]

do you want more than one of them?

[fickle dragon]

haha probably not, I wasn't sure if it was like an unlock, but that answers it 😉

[wispy orbit]

it'll be something they throw on the mogstation next year eh?

[lethal mist]

If I hit 90 before finishing Studium quests for a class, do I get purple scrips instead? Kinda shame to waste that exp...

[wispy orbit]

nah

[cursive ridge]

maybe as a part of a bundle? definitely not as a single item

[wispy orbit]

purple scrips are collectibles only right now

[cursive ridge]

it's just not cool enough to be a single item thing

[fickle canyon]

Where can I see what level of Materia I can meld to my gear?

on the materia

Base Item: Item Level *** on the materia

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Materia
there's a table

that is not worth 5 dollars

To someone it is

[cursive ridge]

to someone bad with their money

[lethal mist]

People spend immense amounts on a night out. I'd call that bad with money too but here we are. 5 dollars on an in game item isn't the worst thing ever.

Best EU Server? Help

[forest sage]

Moogle if you're french, Shiva if you're German, whatever else otherwise

[tiny brook]

Like where is the most people?

[forest sage]

every server is filled up, and there's only 2 datacenters which are pretty similar in size and endgame activities so it really doesn't matter

[solemn jewel]

Doesn't matter

Content is crossplay anyway

[hot eagle]

!faq worldpick

[zinc orbit]

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

• Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
• Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
• Moogle (Large amount of French players)
• Shiva (Large amount of German players)
  ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

[forest sage]

since they have free transfers(from high to low pop) and promote lower pop servers to new players with xp incentive, every server has been filled equally, and EW release even had them TOO filled, so there's no dead server like in some other mmos

[urban grotto]

which hunts can I get nuts from?

Iirc yes but check on 6.05 patch note just to br sure

[knotty spindle]

Should be, it was mentioned in the response to congestion letter as the Excitatron 6000

[cobalt bobcat]

Hmm, do MSQuests after the Ultima weapon but before Heavensward give so little XP because when they were released players were already at cap level, or will this trend continue in expansions and you are expected to earn XP by other means?

[green grail]

yeah the first one, they don't want to overlevel you before you reach proper leveling msq of the expansion

lvl 51-59 will give a lot of exp again and flatline at 60

[lethal mist]

How soon will the left sided 580 gear be "replaced" so to speak? I mean, getting one piece a week means in 5 weeks you gear out ONE of your classes. Seems kinda meh pace but if this holds till like summer then I guess it's fine?

[honest anvil]

there’ll be i600 pieces next week if you do savage

[tiny brook]

I picked the wrong server, how do I change server

[lethal mist]

Are they too just like these, one a week that you trade in or actual gear drops you can pick up directly?

[honest anvil]

!faq savageloot

[zinc orbit]

What floors of savage drop which items?

Per tier:
First floor: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
Second floor: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Tomestone Accessory upgrade
Third floor: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Tomestone Armor upgrade + Tomestone Weapon upgrade
Fourth floor: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

Loot Rules: Following each weekly reset, every player has a chance to obtain loot from the Savage encounters of the current raid tier. Upon clearing each floor, you will obtain 1 book specific to that fight (e.g. Book of Anamorphosis) and a chance to roll on the loot from that floor. Regardless of if you obtained loot from your weekly clear, you will be barred from rolling on loot from the same encounter until the next weekly reset.

Entering an encounter before clearing the previous floor(s) will relinquish all rewards from previously uncleared floors. (e.g. Entering E12S before clearing E9S for the week will relinquish loot from E9S, E10S, and E11S.) You will lose a chance to earn a book and your chance to roll on any loot that drops that week.

The number of players in your party that have cleared/skipped the encounter for the week will also affect the loot you will get after clearing the encounter.
0 players cleared: 2 chests
1-4 players cleared: 1 chest
5-8 players cleared: 0 chests

[solemn jewel]

Buy a server transfer.
But what do u mean by wrong

[jade quartz]

If you've only just created your character, then simply delete it and make a new character, and select a different world at the end

unless you mean data centre?

i.e. Light, Chaos

[tiny brook]

Yea

Light Chaos

And I haven't created a new character yet

[jade quartz]

To change datacentres back out to the main menu and select "data centre"

then pick the one you want

[tiny brook]

Oh alright

[lethal mist]

Can I enter dungeons with trust party from the duty menu itself or do I have to go to the dungeon entrance for that?

[solemn jewel]

There's a trust menu

[obsidian patio]

Trusts is a separate menu in the duty section of menus

[steel aspen]

how does new game+ work? is it viable to just story skip and play new game+?

[obsidian patio]

NG+ is basically a “instance” you can enter and exit at will through the menu that starts your specified selection of quests

I say instance since it basically reverts overworld NPCs to where they would be in that section of the story

For the main story, you can use it for all but Endwalker, which isn’t in NG+ yet

(Probably will be in 6.1)

[steel aspen]

so what's the downside of story skipping and playing the content through new game+?

[obsidian patio]

Technically none until you hit the current expansion as that isn’t in NG+ yet

[solemn jewel]

You'd need to buy a job boost

Considering ng+ doesn't give exp

[steel aspen]

does it eliminate filler quests?

[lethal mist]

How does trust leveling work? When I choose different dungeons they appear as different levels obviously, but how can I check progress to see when I get them to 80 for example (for that achievement)?

[solemn jewel]

Avatar mode is the mode u level them in

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[lethal mist]

What's Avatar Mode? Thought I just enter dungeons with trust party?

[steel aspen]

ah, so it's just the content divided into replayable chapters

[lethal mist]

Oh I see the toggle now!

[solemn jewel]

Avatar mode lets u take them into dungeon and earn exp

[obsidian patio]

There’s basically two sets of Trusts, what the story gives you for that dungeon and your actual roster of trusts

[rigid sparrow]

Are there any cybernetic looking armor for samurai?

[obsidian patio]

Late Allagan set from PVP

Looks kinda like Genji from Overwatch

[rigid sparrow]

Ok I wonder if I could make a Jetstream Sam samurai

[obsidian patio]

All of the different Allagan sets are your best bet for mechanical/cyber glamours

[trail gazelle]

are there any armor sets that have that ronin look?

[lethal mist]

So if I go in with a class that's 80+ my trust gets lower exp? '

[obsidian patio]

And a couple other bits here and there

[obsidian patio]

If the trusts are above 81

[lethal mist]

Oh so I can enter with whatever class I want, it's their level that counts, cool. I thought of using a higher level class myself. I still get normal dungeon exp?

[obsidian patio]

Yep

You do get reduced gear drops though, one per boss coffer instead of two.

But drop rate of stuff like minions/TT cards/rolls/furniture doesn’t seem to be reduced.

[lethal mist]

Also looks like Graha starts at 81 so for the 71-80 dungeons I can make 2 teams and do it that way? I don't particularly care for gear. Just wanna do this while still getting some exp too.

[obsidian patio]

Yep

[lethal mist]

Thanks a lot! Will give this a go 😄

[obsidian patio]

If you want to min-max leveling them up, you can level half of them with a tank, and the other half with a DPS

[lethal mist]

Yeah just noticed there's only 1 tank while there are 3 dps, so will have to tank one team (only GNB at 90 rest of the tanks are like, non existent xD)

Well shit better level a tank then

[tiny brook]

Whats the difference between Serpent Officer Flame and Storm

[obsidian patio]

Just different grand companies.

[tiny brook]

Does it have anything to say?

I would rather pick the best one

[forest sage]

there's 2 trusts who can tank, one can do everything

[obsidian patio]

!faq grandcompany

[zinc orbit]

Grand Company FAQ

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:

Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.

Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.

[lethal mist]

Not for 71-80 stuff, Graha starts at 81.

Only Thancred sadly

[mental ruin]

how do i get to ok' zundu?

[tawdry garnet]

Is there a way I can make a glamour plate using my currently equipped gear?

[lethal mist]

How often do the "Tales of Adventure" go on sale? The leveling to 80 kits in the store I mean. I saw them reduced a little while back but didn't think much of it. Now I kinda want one.

[forest sage]

teleport there? if you mean the first time, wait for MSQ to take you there, it happens later in the MSQ than the first time you go to Sea of Clouds, can't go there until then unless you get someoen to fly you there

[forest sage]

not too often like most sales though there's not much consistency

[forest sage]

put gear in glamour dresser, make the plate, take gear out

[mental ruin]

@forest sage ok

[lethal mist]

Oh I see. No way to put on some "watchlist" or something, is there?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

But mogstation sales are always announced on the lodestone

So keep an eye on the launcher news and #lodestone-news-na

[lethal mist]

Thanks!

[cosmic pilot]

What rank do we need in Bozjan to complete the story?

[slate arrow]

25

[cosmic pilot]

Oh no

Cmiiw, but there’s a glowing armor for lvl 80?

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[neon sentinel]

master recipies 9 exist ?

[cosmic pilot]

Ah I see

Then I saw a wrong one

[green grail]

they'll be added on tuesday

[cosmic pilot]

Where did we get that lvl 80 armor sets per job on ShB? I forgot, the one where we get it through MSQ

[neon sentinel]

btw how to obtain master recipies 2

the mats for exchange

for books

[neon sentinel]

good to know

[queen scroll]

what kind of hotbar controls do people use?
I suck at the 1234567890-= thing

[thorn thicket]

For EX 1, how long is the animation for the ||Meteor phase between when he’s no longer targetable and when he finally settles back at his usual spot and he’s targetable again.|| Feels like 25-30s

[tropic flame]

Check #protips-and-ui

[queen scroll]

didn't see that, thanks

[vestal magnet]

does rowena have a vendor in ishgard?

[obsidian patio]

if you mean tomestone, then right by the big aetheryte

[vestal magnet]

thanks

i dont see any

[solemn jewel]

Did u finish Heavensward

[willow sandal]

12345qbefgtr
then shift + those, then ctrl + those

[vestal magnet]

no

[solemn jewel]

Then u can't access them

[vestal magnet]

wack

mor dhona it is then

[solemn jewel]

They won't have 60 gear if ur looking for those

[queen scroll]

wouldn't shift+1 or ctrl+1 be weird?

[thorn thicket]

For anyone in game, what’s the potency of SMN’s mountain buster? Kupo bot only lists the BLU spell

[forest sage]

150

[thorn thicket]

Ty

[reef quiver]

What materia for reaper for the endgame content?

[willow sandal]

not really, for me at least

just be mindful of what you put there

usually some thick defensive cooldowns

[sick osprey]

everytime i connect my controller the "stick sensivity" setting defaults to 55 and i need to move it down to 0 manually. any1 know why this happens or how to fix it?

[obsidian patio]

CRIT > DH=Det pulls ahead of DH=DET > CRIT around ilvl 580. At i575 they are within 1 adjusted potency per second of each other. This means going forward CRIT > DH=DET is the meld priority.

[lament gust]

nice omori pfp :D

[thorn thicket]

The short form answer for DPS, unless a skill specifically mention Direct hit, Crit-DH-Det. If DH is mentioned DH-Crit-Det

[green grail]

january 4th

[thorn thicket]

Tuesday. Then later that week queues should be almost gone because the WoW raiders would have left because they got their raid

Still going to be curious if there will be any noticeable backlash to a lack of world first/server first clear achievements

[solemn jewel]

Achievos that only 8 people per server can get sound rather..bad

[flint marsh]

Probably not. Ff14 players don't really care about that

[thorn thicket]

Welcome to Western Game Logic

[feral nebula]

Did they really remove all the positionals from monk?

[thorn thicket]

No

Just 2

[feral nebula]

bootshine, dragon kici, twin snakes, true strike

they dont have anymore

[thorn thicket]

Not like it matters though, more and more fights are losing positional based hit boxes

[feral nebula]

or is it higher level locked? (am still 80)

[thorn thicket]

No?

[green grail]

only demolish and snap punch have positionals

[feral nebula]

oh thats nice

[thorn thicket]

They had 6 and lost 2, didn’t they?

[feral nebula]

they lost 4 then apparently

like vis said, only 2 have now

[thorn thicket]

Oh... so just the finishers?

[feral nebula]

seems like it? this is nice

[thorn thicket]

Yay, I can fix the MNK 1–2-3 buttons then on my hotbars

[thin sorrel]

I bought FFXIV Endwalker. I try to activate the code but it says it is invalid. Beginning to think I bought the wrong version lol. Never played the game before

[thorn thicket]

Do you have the base version of the game?

Because Endwalker is basically DLC

[thin sorrel]

lol

whoops

[green grail]

the sales of the game are suspended atm afaik so you probably bought the wrong thing

[slate arrow]

you cant redeem endwalker without Starter

[thorn thicket]

Also remember, it’s a subscription based MMO

[thin sorrel]

any eta on when the base game will be available?

[slate arrow]

late febuary

earliest

[thin sorrel]

alright, looks like im sitting on the DLC for a few months haha

[reef quiver]

Where do I spend the anthoclusters?

[green grail]

radz-at-han

[forest sage]

they have not given any sort of timeframe so not sure how you get that

[true jolt]

I think they refering to the new server improvement that shceduled at late january and assume based on it?

[forest sage]

that's not related however

and the timeframe for the server expansion is very undecided yet too, could be earlier or later, the only official statement they've made on the sale of the game resuming is "We will continue to monitor the situation as we consider the timing around resuming sales."

[cosmic pilot]

What’s the best way to lvl 80-90? EW’s Side quests?

[true jolt]

Bozja skirmish train

[cosmic pilot]

Oh no …

[forest sage]

dungeon spam is faster on most level ranges

as long as you do FATEs while waiting on queue

[true jolt]

Bozja is faster on 80-90 since armiry bonus is only 50%

[cosmic pilot]

Can I do Side Quests while waiting?

[forest sage]

the armory bonus is the same for everything

[cosmic pilot]

I’m really not a fan of Bozja

[forest sage]

you can do whatever, sidequests are somewhat time inefficient but I like completing them anyway

[true jolt]

Cole evyx done the math and its only around 88 the dungein run catch up to skirmish train

[forest sage]

wasn't that release calculations?

cause dungeon xp was boosted by 50% last week

[true jolt]

Then use method you enjoy. Fastest its not the most fun

[forest sage]

dungeons give about 40-45% of a level currently

[green grail]

sidequests are like 1% of a level for sometimes ~5 minutes of running around, fates are about 2.5 times that per fate for hitting mobs for 30 seconds

[true jolt]

Bozja still faster till 87

https://youtu.be/pZrlXQ6ZQDo

[cosmic pilot]

Yeah I guess so. But at the same time I wanna know Bozja story too

[true jolt]

Actually its till 89 if you use DF

[jagged wave]

Do I need resistance rank 25 to finish shb relic?

[true jolt]

87-88 can better than BSF only if you premade that know what to do (wall to wall etc)

[forest sage]

BSF is only good if you do it properly though like he does, which a lot of people don't

[true jolt]

I mean, just enter skirmish train is not hard to do imo

Buff barely matter cause it just melt so damn fast. Riding map helps a lot though

[forest sage]

1:30 per skirmirsh on his calculation is definitely faster than just following the train, he recalls/uses the recall item to get out before they're over to start the next one and use mount speed essence to get there faster

[true jolt]

Cmiiw there is no rank requirement after the CLL part

[obsidian patio]

you need rank 25 to finish

[true jolt]

Oh really @_@

[obsidian patio]

since it requires completing the Dalriada at least once.

[true jolt]

Damnn

I thought can skip dal completely

[patent citrus]

yeah I didn't realise it as well, cause there's an alt way to farm raw emotion

so I thought It could be skipped and only need CLL

oh wait, CLL also have an alt way to farm it (CT AR) 😹

[jagged wave]

Oof

Well

I only have 2 classes 80+

So

[warm snow]

You need to clear dal to unlock the raw emotion step

[jagged wave]

I mean until RR 25 i can probably get like 5 classes from 70-80

[warm snow]

Remember Zadnor is super easy mettle

[slim lion]

When it the next patch?

[warm snow]

Tuesday

[opal swan]

Hi I boosted scholar to 80 but summoner didn’t boost with it? Did I do something wrong

[forest sage]

do the job quests

[warm snow]

You didn't unlock summoner

And you still have to do the job quests

What gear does the 80 job boost give you actually?

The ShB af gear?

[forest sage]

boosts usually gives poetic stuff, so cryptwalker, I'd assume

n item level 530 augmented cryptlurker weapon and set of augmented cryptlurker gear (excluding accessories) will be equipped automatically upon logging back in.

[junior tide]

Can I glam garuda on a carbuncle?

[forest sage]

egi yeah

[junior tide]

No, the usual carbuncle

[opal swan]

Augmented cryptlurker

[forest sage]

what do you mean then

[fringe bone]

There anyone who would wanna show me the way of the monk in like voice chat?

[steep egret]

you can onlg glam carbuncle and egis, to other carbuncles and egis

[junior tide]

I know I can glamour carbuncle on egis
But I didnt know I could glamour egis on my usual carbuncle
Like, the one standing around doing relatively nothing

[forest sage]

you can

Carbuncle can be glamoured to any other carbuncle or any of the egis

/egiglamour "Carbuncle" "whatever you want"

[drifting oriole]

is there a need to pentameld gathering gear?

[steep egret]

you can get the details for any command in game, by typing /? before it

soo /? /petglamour

[forest sage]

it spiritbinds faster, but there's never a NEED to do anything, so that's gonna depend on what you actually need yourself

[dusky sigil]

Maybe a stupid question but i would like to be sure :
Do a FC leader can make specific rules to /say chat for their member ? In the FC garden and around for example ?

[forest sage]

no

that doesn't mean you can't be kicked out of the FC mind you, but there's no way to control what people use in /say in any way as long as it doesn't break the ToS

[ember magnet]

when leveling a new class, how do i gear them? I won't have enough poetics to even fill up the left side of gear, and its pretty expensive to buy the remaining pieces from the marketplace

[leaden ginkgo]

As a free trial do i get post HVSW?

[steep egret]

uhh no one calls Heavensward, HVSW, its just HW

and yes, you get post content

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks

[steep egret]

its like when buying an expansion,

you get all the content, up to the end of the expansion

[warm snow]

You get the patches, up to 3.55 which is the second credits roll before stormblood

[late olive]

Guys is ther any way to put item in the loft beside doing the wall glitch thing

How much longer will it be until we can transfer data centers? I haven’t been able to play at all because I moved from Asia to Europe right right when they stopped transfers. My connection is terrible

[tall mountain]

We can't say

we've as much an idea as you

[rain tree]

Hi, whats the best thing to buy to dump white scrips with?

[tall mountain]

hopefully soon

[tall mountain]

Materia, Hi-Cordials (if Gatherer), Master Recipe books

[rain tree]

I already have all books

And for crafters

Did they add anything new for whites in endwalker?

[green grail]

materia 9

[rain tree]

oooh materia 9 is for sale?? nice!

thanks1

[sick osprey]

https://i.imgur.com/tkd3MEH.png what do the blue arrows mean ?

[forest sage]

from these items

[opal swan]

What’s the difference between eos and Selene?

[modest igloo]

color

[obsidian patio]

only looks

[upper cove]

Aesthetics

[cosmic pilot]

Can we unmount by pressing “X” twice?

On PS4

[upper cove]

I simply press the mount button again

[sacred apex]

Are the weapons we usually get after a patch that we have to upgrade a few times ever considered BiS?

[cosmic pilot]

I found it. Basically press the same button for sheathe weapons

[upper cove]

That works as well. I have a macro for sprint/mount bound to L3 so I click that again to dismount

[forest sage]

relics? they're usually BiS in the patch right before a new tier is added and at the end of the expansions

[sacred apex]

Thank you very much

[inland pasture]

Is getting the ilvl 570 DoH/L gear over the ilvl 560 gear important, or is it excessive?

[leaden ginkgo]

moogles bloodswrom does give anything ? or the last unlocking thing is in swrom rank

[twilit arch]

i570 gear for doh/dol is not better than 560

[jade quartz]

Melded crafted gear > scrip gear

[twilit arch]

main reason to go for the 570 gear is if you're not interested in being serious about endgame crafting/gathering or are cheap/poor

[jade quartz]

Scrip gear is the welfare option

[nimble hazel]

Are crafted gears coming in the next patch?

[twilit arch]

6.1 for dol/doh

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone ?

[twilit arch]

6.05 is bringing crafted combat gear

[nimble hazel]

oh

[jade quartz]

Bloodsworn increases exp earned and is necessary to do the allied beast tribe quests

[nimble hazel]

Would it be a waste to grind for 570 then

[jade quartz]

Bloodsworn doesn’t add anything to the vendor though

[twilit arch]

its ultimately up to you, personally wouldn't go for 570

just because its not universal gear

[nimble hazel]

hmm

[twilit arch]

like what is your intention with end-game dol/doh?

[nimble hazel]

grind mounts 💀

[jade quartz]

If you have the means and inclination to meld 560, then yes

[twilit arch]

are you intending to be serious and craft the new combat gear coming with savage?

then get 560

if not, then 570 is ok

[leaden ginkgo]

namazu gives the mount on bloodswrom

[nimble hazel]

I don’t even have crafting leveled n stuff honestly

[jade quartz]

Moogles don’t

[leaden ginkgo]

is it worth doing

?

i just reached rank 7

[jade quartz]

And that’s what the question was about

[rain tree]

hi guys

where do i trade my yellows to whites

[nimble hazel]

are craftable gears tradable?

[rain tree]

crafter scrip[s

[leaden ginkgo]

no ?

[twilit arch]

mor dhona

[jade quartz]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks ....

[jade quartz]

I told you what bloodsworn gives

You decide if you want to do it

[rain tree]

which npc?

[twilit arch]

the scrip exchange npc

near the tomestone npcs

[nimble hazel]

Do you by any chance know what the ilevel on the craftable gears that come with .05 be?

[rain tree]

excellent thank you!

[twilit arch]

same ilvl as normal mode

580

[nimble hazel]

oh

i see

also, with the material thingies you can put in weapons n stuff

Are you able to extract them?

[twilit arch]

yes

[nimble hazel]

alright thnak you !

[jade quartz]

You are able to retrieve materia from gear but there is a significant chance to fail with the current endgame grade of materia

Which means losing the materia

[nimble hazel]

oh

💀

[leaden ginkgo]

For dungeon leveling, is it better to always go into duty roulette leveling or just spam my highest avalaible dungeon?

[jade quartz]

Roulettes only give their bonus once daily

Run your roulettes once daily and then spam highest leveling dungeon

Note level 50/60/70/80 dungeons do not count as leveling dungeons. They’re old level cap dungeons and give tomestones instead

For example at level 60, the best dungeon for exp is the level 59 one

[leaden ginkgo]

That's weird, thanks!

[true jolt]

i mean thats not weird. back when your lvl cap is say lvl 60, dungeon 60 cant give exp so but they drom tomestone instead

after said content become old, SE added some exp and convert the tomestone drop into poetics

basically X0 dungeon is for faming poetic while other dungeon that is not lvl cap is for leveling 😄

[tropic frigate]

Physic used to be so bad for SCH from what I remember but is it now viable to pack it among the skills? I read 450 heal potency which sounds good considering they buffed it, but I haven't played SCH in a long time anymore

[obsidian patio]

no

the level 85 trait buffs multiple heals, not just physick

(To put in comparison, Adloquium shielding jumps from 125% to 180% of the heal, and Succor jumps from 115% to 160% of the heal)

[tropic frigate]

So it's not viable to use on high 80+ dungeons?

Because from what I remember, physic was mostly the go to for the ARR dungeons

And not further beyond that

[obsidian patio]

because it's basically your only heal at that level range

and even then Adloquium is mostly better if you don't need pure healing

[twilit arch]

physick is still, generally, your last resort healing spell

[tropic frigate]

So adlo remains as main util for general heal

[forest sage]

yeah if you have to GCD heal, then use adlo

[obsidian patio]

if you have no other tools available

[forest sage]

if it crits you can cancel the next adlo into a physick IF the tank isn't taking massive dmg, but if they are you can just cast another adlo as the shield will be gone by the time you're done anyway

but generally speaking you shouldn't be using GCD heals if the tank is competent

so even Adlo is kinda already last resort(besides prepull adlo and spread adlo and such)

[patent citrus]

more like lv <30

when adlo is there, prob better to use adlo instead of physick

cause there's a chance of critlo + catalyse

yeah, I mean even when the shield is still exist, you just top it off with adlo again

[tropic frigate]

Alright, I'm cool with that. Thanks for the insight fellas

the one with jazzy bgm

[rain tree]

https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/408346297859571714/926462825562521650/PBrTpRUX5I.mp4 anyone else having stuff like this? i keep getting choppy sounds and when i mute ambient sounds it goes away, like it isn't in the bgm or something.

[tropic frigate]

Using Seraph pre-pull is a good way to get a Consolation on the party before an encounter begins. This can be combined with an

I've never heard of Seraph being used during a pre pull. Is that an actual thing in dungeons?

[forest sage]

sounds like a big waste of a cooldown but dungeons are easy enough you can play with less cooldowns anyway

can be used on some trials/raids too I guess, although I feel you might as well just weave it since it's free

and you can get more time out of it that way

[tropic frigate]

I figured I could focus on more dps during big packs

With Seraph out

[forest sage]

but you can use seraph while dpsing though

why use it before and lose several seconds

when you could use it during the pull and do the same thing?

[hexed marsh]

hey, are there any restrictions for free trial regarding the amount of machines you can play on? id love to know if i can launch the game on my laptop before i commit to downloading it ^^

[tropic frigate]

True

but yeah do use seraph in dungeons, hell use everything in dungeons, there's no reason not to

[tropic frigate]

Alrighty

[slate arrow]

There isn't one as far as I'm aware

[hexed marsh]

thank you ^^

Just a platform restriction

So you can't go from PS to PC and vice versa without a purchase

[patent citrus]

materia bonus is only for adventure in need afaik?

[viscid moth]

When do we usually get patchnotes? 1 day prior or more?

[patent citrus]

when server is offline usually

[green grail]

preliminary like 2 days before max, full during maintenance

but only big patches get prelim notes i think, like 6.1

[solid cedar]

is this a bot? lol

[tall mountain]

yup

[solid cedar]

Normally these bots are level 2 archers

why is this a level 50 DRG lol

[tall mountain]

botters do as botters do

they've probably got a good reason for it

[solid cedar]

[verbal rune]

There are many reasons

[patent citrus]

they ban in waves

[verbal rune]

One of them is that you need a certain lvl to access the upcoming firmament I guess

Or to get houses

Empyrium*

[solid cedar]

these are the normal bots you see everywhere, level 2 archers

[gray crescent]

anyone has the idea of black mage transpose despair rotation im hearing about?

**Is the No F4/Paradox Rotation better than the Standard BLM Playstyle?**

Short answer, no. At base it's about 3-4% worse than the simple standard rotation pps wise. You can do a few tricks to make the pps closer, but then you can argue that you can also do tricks to make standard stronger, incorporating proper non-standard lines.

How did the person parse so well with it though?
By being a good player with good uptime and a portion of crit luck.

[inland pasture]

Is there no white scrips fishing spear?

[slate arrow]

there is only one fishing gig in the entire game

[inland pasture]

The level 61 gig?

[gray crescent]

robot, where can i see that entire rotation?

or maybe just info or instruction

[wise torrent]

is there someone on who is familiar with FFlogs can help me for a min. I am trying to know what I should be looking at so I can make improvements

[leaden ginkgo]

It does not show me the Aether Currents, after clicking on them, how do i discover them?

[patent citrus]

use your aether compass

[slate arrow]

You use the aether compass in your collections menu

[wise torrent]

then its a matter of playing the hot and cold game

[green grail]

you can put your log into https://xivanalysis.com/, though its not updated for all jobs yet

[wise torrent]

ok I will try that

[split dust]

how do i use those 3 last skills?

[slate arrow]

I believe those automatically cast when you summon the relevant summon

[split dust]

I thought so, asked cus when i summon they, this appears

[upper cove]

Either automatic or thats the astral flow iirc

[split dust]

trying to print it

one sec

[formal depot]

everyone is yelling final fate what is that

[twilit arch]

astral flow automatically changes to it depending on what summon you recently usede

[green grail]

they're the astral flows

[split dust]

oh shit

that was unsloted

damn

[upper cove]

Damn put it on baha and phoenix uses it as well

[rain tree]

do the anima fate quest require the job you are doing the anima for?

[upper cove]

No

[twilit arch]

no

just need quest active

[upper cove]

You mean the crystal yea

[rain tree]

oh, so im just unlucky

thanks guys

haha i love the name

@upper cove

[upper cove]

[wise torrent]

as a barrier healer, when the raid is 100% Hp but no barrier shield. is it considered bad form to case my E.Prognosis b4 a raid wide attack to protect everyone even at the risk of "overhealing"?

[upper cove]

Im not a good shield healer. But my own take is, if you can survive without the shield, its probably not needed

Unless the shield comes from ogcds

[formal depot]

what happens when durability gets to 0

[upper cove]

Its as if you're not wearing it until repaired

[formal depot]

oh ok i thought the item breaks

[upper cove]

It breaks in a sense but its not gone

Just need to repair or you dont get the stats

[formal depot]

yeah i meant like gone forever 😹

nice then

[upper cove]

You only lose items if you choose to sell/desyth/discard

[wise torrent]

problem is. if a player ate an attack b4 the raid wide. they will have the vulnerability debuff. so shield might be necessessary. I cant keep track who has what debuff at any given moment

[upper cove]

If in doubt

Nothing wrong to shield up

You lose dps sure, but deaths are a bigger dps loss

[wise torrent]

I am trying to err on the side of if I let someone die because I didnt shield up. then that is worse then the overhealing hit to my stats

[upper cove]

For sure

If people are eating vulns cause they stood in an aoe

Parsing isn't your priority

A clear is better than no clear

[wise torrent]

so let me understand this. when I see things like Parsing in discriptions of Party Finder. what is the intention? that nobody eats dmg other then raid wide or tank busters?

[lapis sorrel]

I ordered 6 items from the store, however I had my mailbox full and I didnt receive one of those items. Any1 know what am I supposed to do? XD

[upper cove]

Wait

Itll attempt the delivery again

[lapis sorrel]

Ah alright then, thanks

[upper cove]

Its implied that everyone is familiar with the fight. And the intention is to parse high. So eating mechs that will otherwise lead to dps loss is a no no

Especially if you're a healer

You dont want to spend extra heals on someone who ate a mech that is avoidable

[forest sage]

there's a button to check if an item is there in the mailbox, maybe try that too but yeah might have to wait for it to redeliver

[inland pasture]

How do you increase the chances of catching fish with 2 exclamation marks?

[wise torrent]

ok well ty for that explanation @upper cove I understand the purpose and intent now

[forest sage]

that's just the type of bite, specific bait has higher chance to catch certain fishes, but depends on the specific fish

if you need one specific fish, check teamcraft to see what's the best bait

[wise torrent]

are you doing the fishing expititions

[warm snow]

Realistically, you don't

[forest sage]

you can, depending on the fish

there's many cases where changing the bait will dramatically increase the catching rate of a fish, depending on the conditions, for example if the bait removes other fishes from the pool of stuff you can catch, or just fish preference

but !! isn't any better than ! per se, it's just if you want a specific fish that's a !! bite that you'd do that

[leaden ginkgo]

so ive been playing a lot of sage and im interested in going and trying to level the other healers, not sure which to start with, any recommendations

i have ast at 35 whm at 40 and sch at 50

i want something that feels more like a healer

[forest sage]

that's purely subjective

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah true

sage has a lot of passive healing

[forest sage]

and if you've played them already you should roughly know how they behave and what you'd want to lvl

[wise torrent]

@leaden ginkgo when you say "feels more like a healer" I am assuming you mean raw HP heals

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah raw hp

[wise torrent]

WHM

[forest sage]

if you mean Kardia, then you'd avoid SCH too

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah but not sure how they feel later

because they all feel the same around where im at now

[leaden ginkgo]

okk

[wise torrent]

on the scale of Raw Heals to Barriers it goes WHM-AST-SGE-SCH

[forest sage]

whm probably best bet

[leaden ginkgo]

perf

ty ty

[wise torrent]

but if you want lets say RAW heals with a little dabbling into barriers. then AST would be best bet

[leaden ginkgo]

also other than food are there xp items that i should get?

[wise torrent]

but iirc WHM has a skill that provides shields?

[leaden ginkgo]

might do ast after whm then

[forest sage]

squadron buffs or FC buffs

[leaden ginkgo]

okay

i heard xp is 1.5x now

so levelling should be faster

[forest sage]

whm and ast both have single target shields oGCDs, AST also has neutral sect as a cd for aoe crappy shields

[leaden ginkgo]

so scholar is more of a pure shielder

[forest sage]

kinda, they basically have the same kit as sage with a few differences

I just excluded them from your list since you didn't like Kardia and fairy does the same thing

[primal ermine]

Divine benison, it's a ogcd.

[proven nexus]

my game keeps saying screenshot failed when i try to take a screenshot, i tried changing where the screenshots and saved and the file type, but still the same issue, any ideas how to fix it?

[wise torrent]

when I hit my print screen button. it opens up my snipping tool which is also (Win+shift+s)

[proven nexus]

i can use that, but just not where it would save them in the screenshots folder

[lapis sorrel]

its been half an hour and the item still didnt arrive. should I contact SE?

[regal pawn]

Can take a while

In the mogmail there's a button to request a delivery

Could speed things up

[lapis sorrel]

I already clicked it twice :3

I'll wait a few more mins

[twilit arch]

You need to be much more patient than that

[regal pawn]

I waited like an hour for my broom

[twilit arch]

login servers still experiencing issues, and even without that, it can take some items a while to be delivered

account bound items are pretty notorious for taking awhile, took an alt almost 2hrs to receive an account bound mount i had bought a long time ago

[lapis sorrel]

Its just because the other items arrived in like 5m

This one is taking longer

[twilit arch]

that happens

[upper cove]

Also cause iirc I read somewhere reattempts to deliver takes longer

[craggy tinsel]

Standing around by a mailbox won't make it arrive any faster

[lapis sorrel]

Dont need to stay around a mailbox, a mail icon appears on the top right side o.o

[lapis sorrel]

Makes sense

[craggy tinsel]

Right, but dwelling on it not arriving is the point

It'll be there eventually

[inland pasture]

Do Eorzea and ||Norvrandt|| have separate weekly custom delivery limits?

[lapis sorrel]

Its normal to dwell when I don't know if the item got lost or not 🙂

[upper cove]

No@inland pasture

Same limits

12 allowances across any npcs you've unlocked regardless expansion

[inland pasture]

Oh ok

Is there a way to get scripts when you're out of custom deliveries for the week?

[glad robin]

Where’s a good place to buy exp food?

[twilit arch]

do regular collectables

[leaden zinc]

is there a way to see all three times in the game? the local time, server time, and eorzean time, all at once?

yes you can have 3 clocks on, its in the character config settings

[craggy tinsel]

Any food is exp food, so just something like a boiled egg from a vendor is enough

[leaden zinc]

ty

[glad robin]

Just checked the MB for the eggs and they were expensive lol @craggy tinsel

Which vendors sell it cheap?

[craggy tinsel]

I wanna say there's a vendor in New Gridania that sells them super cheap

[craggy tinsel]

I'm usually in Gridania if I have to go to any ARR city, hence why I know that one the best

[sharp swift]

hey everyone, just trying to set up an alliance group so that me and my friends can do old raids - syrcus tower needs "three parties with at least one member each when unrestricted party requirements are in effect" - there's for of us but we're all in Alliance A and i can't figure out for the life of me how to move people to the other groups so it's one each :(

[glad robin]

Sweet thanks

The npc was selling them mad cheap lol, the players selling it on MB were trying to get like 600K to a mil for one

[mental garnet]

is there a list of desynthable items by desynth level and job?

[craggy tinsel]

When in doubt, check to make sure the item can't be obtained elsewhere via Google before buying from mb lol

[proven nexus]

should be able to make it in party finder, and as they try to join, they get to pick which party they want to join

[upper cove]

Are you trying to do them min ilvl with no echo?

[sharp swift]

ooooh right! thank you! that worked

[upper cove]

Or unsynced for that matter

[sharp swift]

yeah, doing unsynced, the separate parties worked - just assumed i'd be able to assign them. thanks for the help guys ♥

[upper cove]

Good luck on the loot rolls!

Or drops*

Getting glam from alliance raids can be a pain 🥲

[icy quiver]

Is there a way to zoom out even further? I struggle in boss fight that mainly front boss thing (the big bosses that not in the middle)

[leaden ginkgo]

Im trying to level leather working. Doing material enriched leggings, the text of the quest says to visit the materia master goblin in thanalan but when I go there he just has one box of dialogue and nothing else. Am I missing something?

[green grail]

there's a zoomhack on github if you google around, but with just the game - no

[tall mountain]

I think that's just a tip if you haven't already unlocked materia melding

If you've unlocked melding already, all you need to do is meld the legs as the quest demands

[icy quiver]

isnt zoom hack illegal?

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks for the response, I think I might have missed this unlock.

Ill go look it up

[slate arrow]

yes, but the anticheat is literally non-existent and unless you harass others SE will not act on it

[craggy tinsel]

the anticheat unfortunately has to be nonexistent for the game to not be heavily bloated by it, both in size and load times

that's my understanding, anyway

[tall mountain]

yeah anti-cheat tends to hilariously bloat load times

[craggy tinsel]

feelsbadman

[icy quiver]

oh k, tyvm

[formal depot]

wait is there the pandemonium raids in extreme?

i thought there was only like the normal then it goes up to savage

[tall mountain]

You thought right

Only the trials are in extreme

[formal depot]

oh okok

and in savage there is more mecanics and insta death if you do something wrong right?

[tall mountain]

It does tend to be a lot less forgiving

Most mechanics won't have their telegraphs anymore, they'll be more punishing if you fail them, and there will be new mechanics and potentially entirely new phases

[formal depot]

so learning the mecanics in normal kind of helps for savage?

[tall mountain]

definitely

they'll probably be modified slightly, but the basic mechanics should be about the same

and you'll recognise them from normal

[formal depot]

and does the loot work the same way?

[tall mountain]

it's a bit less generous compared to normal

you'll only have the chance to loot a duty once per week, even if you don't get anything

[formal depot]

oh man

[craggy tinsel]

tl;dr for every four new clears present in the fight there will be one chest that spawns at the end

[tall mountain]

and if you do a later duty (eg. do circle 4 of pandaemonimum) before doing the ones before it, you can't loot those prior duties at all that week

[craggy tinsel]

So if you have a random that has cleared to help you out, you get just one chest, even though there are seven new clears for the week (which is "close enough")

[formal depot]

so if i do it with a random party and get nothing i go out with nothing in my pockets until next week

[tall mountain]

indeed

[craggy tinsel]

That's why people typically form statics anyway

[formal depot]

doesnt that literally force u to from a static

[craggy tinsel]

It's to help keep loot within a group

[formal depot]

bruh i can't be bothered to find a static and talk to people

[tall mountain]

doesn't force you to, but it incentivises it

[craggy tinsel]

Unfortunately boundaries must be broken

[formal depot]

i fucking hate talking to people man ima have to suffer

[modest igloo]

arent you talking to people right now?

[formal depot]

i mean being forced to talk to people every week

[static yacht]

Usually the later fights dont have any mechanics from normal mode

[modest igloo]

but i see you here every week

[formal depot]

true i need to rephrase it

[rancid moss]

Just curious, what happens to raid loot that no one receives during the one loot per week deal. Does it just stay, or can it be claimed even though you've already gotten loot from that raid?

[formal depot]

i dont like having to do content with other people

[heavy wadi]

this is an mmo my guy you're gonna need to do some bare minimum communication at endgame.

[formal depot]

that i will have to talk too

[heavy wadi]

it just stays

and no one gets it

falls on the floor, essentially :p

[static yacht]

If you are good at the game, you dont need to talk and can be a PF king

There are people who clear entirely in PF

[formal depot]

yeah but with my shitty rolls theres no way man

[rancid moss]

Thanks, I've noticed ppl riding the timer and wasnt sure why

[formal depot]

i literally did a raid and only rolled less than 20 or 7 different items

[static yacht]

Doesnt matter. You still get a pity book.

[formal depot]

pity book?

whats that

[static yacht]

Same thing as totems in extreme

[modest igloo]

the "anti bad roll" item

[formal depot]

oh so if u dont get anything u dont go out with nothing then?

[verbal rune]

question, what is the difference between noclippy and ffxivalexander?

[modest igloo]

you always get it

[static yacht]

Yeah. But its one book per week for savagw

[formal depot]

and how many u need for gear?

[heavy wadi]

they could always be grouped with a friend or something and waiting out the timer till people give up so their friend can get their piece

[formal depot]

if there is a pity book i might do it in pf

i mean if its kinda worth it

[formal depot]

oh hell naw

and u only get 1 per week
