its just a sidenote for PLD players
how can i continue to make bravura if its asking me for a curtana wtf
that's just for PLD
Paladins must be equipped with Curtana
You are not a Paladin
Therefore it doesn’t concern you
The reason it’s there is because plds have both a sword and a shield relic
So it’s clarifying that for plds it’s the sword that needs to be equipped
ok i get that but im a war and cant accept up in arms
is there a different place for me?
what's your quest at
Up in arms
its locked
Do you have Bravura Zenith
Or just Bravura
Bravura must be upgraded to Bravura Zenith by infusing it with 3x Thavnairian Mist by interacting with the furnace behind Gerolt
Thavnairian Mist is purchased from Auriana in Mor Dhona (Tomestones of Poetics -> special arms)
Thank you 🙂
are these skyrise celebration events in the firmament worth doing?
you mean FETE?
yeah it gives FETE token, can be traded for cosmetics, gives like 2% exp probably

hey guys is there any disadvantage to using a macro for multiple abilities where one requires a proc and without wait times?
this actually worked thanks
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
Several.
Having a macro at all adds a delay, and having multiple actions on one macro adds further delay and also will not work consistently
Macros are very limited by design.
They are not really viable in combat except for certain specific uses
Do seasonal Fates drop atma?
I think so, since it only cares about the zone you’re in
Is there a way I can watch the opening cinematic for The Navel / Lord of Crags bit? I accidentally had my sound disabled so I decided to skip and try to rewatch later, was wondering if there's a recording of it on youtube or an npc i can talk to ingame to see the opening cinematic again
When I searched youtube all I could find was guide videos
It's in your setting
char config -> untick the skip previously vieweed scenario cutscenes
And then requeue the dungeons to see it again?
yea
Ah ok thanks
for p3s can we start moving as soon as we see the big ball or do we need to wait for it to fire?
I need your guy's opinion.
My gatherers are 90 in white-scrip 80 gear. I am trying to level my crafter who are 80 (in 80-scrip gear) and I'm realizing that leveling it through collectibles seems like it'd be time consuming...
Should I forego leveling with collectibles and do something else till like 85, then make myself crafter gear at 85 so that I can then have a chance to make HQ 90 gatherer gear or something like that?
will beast tribe quest come in 6.1?
you can use GC daily turn-in (especially when it is star), or leve quests to level up. Leve also gives you gil, so you may get some fund back to break even, or even profit if you buy materials from MB.
Can you have more than one deciphered treasure map at a time? (I have an 8 man open, wanted to open a solo map as well)
customer deliver at max rank and bonus items also guarantee 2 level/week..
I'm looking for more than 2 levels a week lol
but thank you though
and yeah, I thought about GC daily turn-in
but I will probably have to look to levequests
Was thinking of picking up bard, what should I expect?
Music
well it is nice cuz customer deliver is super easy to do for 2 level/week. if not, use level quests with HQ item. You can use teamcraft to see how many level quests you need to prepare materials and just mass produce them
No but like gameplay wise how does it work?
Yeah, just have to find the right leve quests
Are there any stables for Chocobos you can use without Aparments houses or FCs?
watching dots, time your 3 songs correctly
then press the procs
What are the songs? and procs?
there are 3 songs, I don't quite remember how many secs each of song should be played
but the orders are Minuet -> Ballad -> Army
Wait is ||Sharlayan|| the only place to do leve quests in Endwalker
!faq thebalance
ah kewl
Yes, every expansion has all leves just in the main city
I never knew this. I assumed the levels were in each small encampment like ARR instead
I guess this is better, then
Triple turn-ins give the most EXP right?
Thanks for this, I couldn't find a concrete answer anywhere but this helps
I assume they macro they used in the video casts the spell once?
In addition to that there’s the further delay of one frame per line of the macro
do ppl still do Baldesion Arsenal?
can I update my chat notifications to not display what my glamours change to?
Therefore actions further down the macro happen later even if the actions before it fail to go through due to requiring a proc
Also actions don’t queue
i do not know what that means so I will not take it into account
You can simulate queueing to some extent (still has the delay shown in the gif) but this is done by repeating the same spell line a bunch of times. There is limited ability to do this if you want to use multiple actions in one, which further worsens responsiveness
Plus if your action has to wait for like 6 lines of another action to attempt execution before it goes off, that adds even more delay
It’s very important
You ought to ask for clarification instead
Queueing refers to input buffering
sorry i'm late, was playing with simulator... there is a macro you can use to do collectables even at level 80 white scrip gear but it needs food and 2 macros
I.e. with normal actions there is a roughly .5s window towards the end of your gcd timer
Those don't exist anymore
Where you can press your next action and it will be “queued”
I.e. it will automatically execute as soon as possible
Macros do not have this
A macro cannot register before the previous action has finished and the gcd has gone around fully
That's not what I'm having trouble with
As the system that registers when this happens depends on ping, this leads to the delay shown in the gif as well as the other problems I’ve mentioned
I can easily do collectibles in 80-scrip gear without food or 2 macros
I'm just looking at how crazy the mat-list is looking
And if you have multiple actions on a macro and press it too early, the earlier actions in the macro will not execute
And it will skip to the later ones
That’s in addition to the delay still existing
Basically there are all sorts of reasons not to macro
That's just for 12 collectibles of each profession, too
For leveling crafters, studium deliveries, GC turn ins, Deliveries, etc are good
oh yeah I guess if you're looking to save time, leves are the way to go
If you don’t understand it all then please just trust that fact
well no its generally not a good idea to just trust people

Yeah. Fuck trusting people
I’ve given you the facts.
It’s not necessarily required that you have the full understanding of all parts of the system in order to understand that it’s not viable
But do you get it mona
no I don't
Then please just defer to the knowledge and experience of veteran players who concern themselves with optimisation
I feel it will only matter in stuff like savage content
No
It will affect your play everywhere
ah well, its not a big deal in the long run
It kinda is
Please don’t knowingly hinder your own performance in a multiplayer game
It’s extremely inconsiderate
thanks for your help, i'll make sure to make my own decision based on my experience and personal preference
The only good reason is if you have an actual disability or injury preventing you from playing without macros.
Personal preference is not a good reason, nor is laziness
character configuration -> log window settings -> log filter (the one you want to change) -> announcements -> untick system messages
@fluid ore
When you macro a spell, it can't be queued up like normally. It's extremely noticeable.
Essentially, normally you can queue up an attack within 0.2(?) seconds before you are able to use it. Meaning that, as soon as your character is free to use an attack you immediately cast it. Essentially, 0 seconds of down-time.
Macros however, can not be queued/buffered. So, you have to hit your macro exactly when your character is free to do an action otherwise your macro will not go off. This means at best your spell gets delayed 0.5seconds, and at worst your spell never goes off because you thought you had been pressing it and moved on.
What else will system messages turn off, if you know?
ok it is not 0.5 seconds
afaik that one is included in system message
that's a long time
It can be
if you aren't spamming the macro
then it can be 0.5 seconds
If you are spamming it
at worst you'll probably get is 0.2 delay
If you’re spamming it you’ll interrupt it
honestly not sure since I've always had it on
If it’s a macro with multiple actions on it it will definitely self interrupt
If you keep spamming it will legit never go off
well, if that's all the info to be had on the subject, then that's that. I think I fully understand it now.
Don’t use them.
nothing more to say
Don’t overestimate your own expertise either
To be fair, macros honestly should be a much better system in this game
WoW's macro system is insane and beautiful and I miss it
but I just had to get used to it
How you feel you are performing is not necessarily reflective of objective reality
yeah makes people braindead
???
How does macro make people braindead
it's already a braindead game with DBM telling people mechanic
and now people just can't remember their own rotation
All summoners 
Macro does not make you play the game dude, I think you are having a really bias take
what do you mean? you literally can macro your whole rotation
if you mean the gnome macro addon
Was wondering, how do you relink? For example someone relinked for hunts in chat and I wanted to share it to some group, how do I relink it?
Just click on it and it will open the map flag as well as automatically put a flag command in your chat box
Then just push enter
Ooo, thank you!
I don't think I've ever heard of anyone actually macroing a whole rotationa nd performing 100% for WoW but then again I haven't played modern WoW.
I played classic, and from vanilla -> cataclysm. At no point have I ever heard of any serious player doing a macro to do everything for you
Instead, macros save hotbar space. a lot
question from before, but on p3s, can we start moving right when we see the big ball or do we need to wait for it to fire?
The stuff you can do with macro is insane in WoW and it helps a lot
Macros were awesome in XI because you could use them to change gear really quickly to buff your attack stats then instantly switch back to tank gear. ❤️
is Asphodelos: The First Circle normal very difficult?
no
its normal
Macros in xi saves you from pain
could you use macros on the ps2 version of XI?
I believe so?
Yeah I wish they were more useful in combat. I just started playing again recently but there is very clearly a consensus on their usefulness in battle. Other than some special exceptions, like say a "ac shirk <2>" macro, they shouldn't be used much.
Yeah they were amazing in XI.
I was a PS2 player
I started a character today to start story
Hell yeah
Macro in XIV are designed specifically to be not useful in combat
It is not an oversight
I think we get that, but I wish they were more useful. As a developer, that kind of thing is super fun to me.
and as a non developer i dont really like th idea of needing to copy paste a program to play my game for me
Well you are certainly not required to use them. 🙂
Which sucks because they could have made macros useful in XIV in combat while still limiting their ability to chain abilities for you
I just want to be able to macro mouseover in this game without hurting myself
The decision is made and final
I'm aware, and that sucks
I'm allowed to say it sucks
and I'm allowed to wish it was changed
Yup
Theres a plugin for that
Yeah I know, I love it
but there shouldn't have to be a plugin for it
@warped nest We understand. Are you telling us we are not allowed to discuss it here?
Technically no
Good for you, don't care
Since this is question and help
Someone brought up macro usage, and had questions about it and why it's bad
We answered
Convo continued about macro usage
and how it affects gameplay
and opinions
I think that's fair in #questions-and-help
is baldesion arsenal the hardest content in ff14?
Fair point, but at some point we just have to put a plug on it otherwise it will never end
Not really if it becomes more of a discussion.
Does anyone know which song is the 3:30 to 4:05 part of the endwalker trailer from?
This makes no sense to me, why are they giving you level 90 gear for free?
All of us have a lot of love and opinions for XIV
Nowhere near. Ultimate is the hardest content
Isn't there something harder than Ultimate?
for fun
Savage and Extreme are also mechanically much harder than Baldesion
No
unless you count PotD 200 solo because of the luck and time involved
Same as every expansion dude
Or grinding thaf flying dinosaur mount
The pteranadon thingy?
it's level 89, not 90
I believe that requires you to grind each and every single one of your crafters
And blah blah blah, and it will take 2-3 months
Or something
That can be considered difficult too
OHHHHHHHHH that makes sense, though this is the first expansion I am here at launch for
i noticed in my FC estate there are alot of houses but i cant find the npc that shows me whether some houses are up for sale or not
is this a permission thingy for my rank?
what's the level 90 crafted gather gear called so I can look it up and see if I should buy some HQ pieces instead of doing this awful grind?
You should experience the same thing in every expansion even if you joined long after launch.
ARR, HW and SB have the gear given by job quests
check the residential aethernet in the main aetheryte
I thought you meant lvl 90 crafted combat gears
ShB by Grenoldt during MSQ
Sorry
and EW during MSQ.
You always get starter gear for level cap for free
Gameplay wise, it just means you will quickly get to finish off the story line
It's a change to previous artifact-gear stuff. This is level 90 gear you can put on at 89, and while you're still 89 it will sync itself down ever so slightly stat-wise. Then if you want to be able to dye it, you can complete the role-quest for your class role (i.e. tank role quest for warrior/paladin/etc).
Instead of getting side tracked for another 2 hour to grind gear just as you hit the climax of the msq
Which can be a big buzz kill
Yeah that makes sense, as by the time you get your artifact gear in EW, you're just about to unlock the final area
and a 2 hour grind would just kill the pacing
it is effectively level 90 gear with a special early sync system
Is this the gear that the dude in the EW Cinematic was wearing?:
Actions that have a global cooldown are called GCD? Is that correct?
Thank you. Do any jobs have more than 1 GCD?
and the rest are called off-global cooldown, oGCD
All of them...
It even has some manner of cape physics
No more than any other previous set.
Sorry, what I mean to say is does any job have multiple sets of abilities with unique timers to each group
i.e. it's actually modeled as the back of a skirt
So in a sense mutliple GCD rotations
sort of
not multiple gcd rotations
but other actions that share cooldowns.
Yes that's what I mean
for example DRK's Abyssal Drain and Carve & Spit
they share the same cooldown
using one puts the other on cooldown
Okay so the nomenclature is that there is only one GCD, but other jobs may share a cooldown unrelated to GCD. Are those abilities still considered OGCD?
yeah that's an additional cooldown on top of the GCD
no the GCD are any skills labeled "weaponskill" or "spell"
they're only GCDs if they're on the GCD
GCD is basically your turn in a RPG
the one GCD
anything not on the GCD is called an oGCD
Damnit I'm sorry that's what I mean! lol
then yea
this
oGCDs are labeled "ability"
Okay what do I say if I'm referring to "All actions that are on the GCD"?
you say
GCD
GCDs
GCDs
GCD means both
Thank you, sorry for my dumbness.
guys uh if your static is consistently parsing green/grey in normal would that be good enough for p1s
GCd can refer to the concept of the shared timer, or just to any singular action that is itself on the GCD
The actions that triggers GCD, and global cooldown itself

we call them GCD actions or just GCDs for short
It's context sensitive
are you all new? @ivory hull
Got it. I will try to pay attention to the context. Thank you all for answering.
any performance difference b/w one handed and two handed staffs?
i have a feeling i'll be banging my head against the wall for a while
Prepare to bang--yeah
for thaumaturge and conjurer
like is it possible for them to clear with hard work and gradual improvement? of course
do you want to take part in that? up to you...
my pf clear for p1s, so no it's not necessarily a fail
Is it possible to level from 80 to 90 without doing the MSQ if it's my first job to 90? I want a 90 Job so I can do a bit of end game stuff and interact with those systems when I get bored of the MSQ ARR grind on my main, but I don't want to spoil the story if avoidable. Thanks
they said parsing normal
bro a 2
normal mode
oh
oh i'm blind ignore me
@zealous agate you cant do any endgame stuff without clearing the msq first
You can't interact with any endgame content without MSQ
You cant unlock the endgame stuff by just being 90 you have to complete msq as well
i have afeeling PF might be better since i'm hearing so many ez clear stories
wel for p1s at least
Gotcha okay makes sense
its a mixed bag but i cleared easily enough for P1S
if you know your own skill then you can just join the more advanced PFs and clear easily enough
If you get a bad PF the turnaround is faster than trying to change statics
^
also lets you be flexible with your raid times rather than needing to stick to raid schedule
I don't think anyone actively parse normal
you should not jump to savage first if you are worried
start with extreme
PF has its plus sides
nah i have been doing extremes and getting purple parses on them
What is PF?
Party finder
Party Finder
Thank you.
i.e. party recruitment ads
might sound a bit high and mighty of me but i dont want to be the best person in my static lol
if your group can purple parse extreme
you shouldn't worry at all about savage
that grey parse on normal probably they are messing around
If the static is too far below your own skill level and you don't want to be their personal coach
Then play a different job with your static and try to clear with your main in pf
Someone Have macro for this difficulty ?
then I would probably suggest not going with that static
i just bought endwalker for playstation but in mogstation in my account status it still says buy endwalker, will it go away once i log in?
Did you put in the code?
yeah im actually thinking about leveling an alt for them if i want to continue lol
Ah okay
PSN does everything for you
pagos
I bought Endwalker like half an hour ago and had to use a code. PC of course. lol
Someone can help me ?
honestly if you dont feel bad about it then i would just drop them lol
@timber gate With what mate?
Can you help me, i dont succes this craft
A static where rates of progress between members are too wildly difficult is usually a recipe for frustration
Gear Lvl 90 ^^
well hope it works out somehow
has anyone done p3s? is it a lot harder than the previous two?
can i talk to you in private, in lost in this channel to fast for me ^^
I'm not there yet but yes it is a big step up
Floor 3 usually is.
im not a crafter that's just the basic stuff you should have for high end crafting
first two floors are kinda omega ez
the teamcraft website can make macros for you
man fuck
i dont find macro on team craft ^^
yeah honestly
i thhink i might just send in my resignation letter and PF lol 😔
legit too scared to go into a party for it
thanks guys
Hit learning party and start wiping
if it's a fresh and chill learning party everyone will have low expectations so don't worry
Is learning party something I can do for new duties??
@timber gate get the crafting role and look in the crafting lounge pins
Like as I'm playing through MSQ?
it looks BUSY
only takes time and effort
@viscid sun no because the msq stuff is piss easy
that's what progression's all about
we're talking about endgame content
MSQ content is designed to be cleared blind the first time, basically
no one's gonna make or join a "learning party" for casual content

a user in this server
oh i thought it was vis
So what ilvl will be the endwalker alliance gear
is it based off her/his avatar or something?
their character most likely
ah
590
same as unaugmented tome

it's Vivi
Poggies
yeah how do they determine what ilvl the alliance gear is
It's either 590 or 595
.
oh
Do you guys zoom all the way out for combat?
yes
I'm trying to get comfortable with where my hotbars are in combat. I don't want to ever look down to look at things like the GCD but I do and then I tend to miss things.
i always look down at my hotbars and ive just accepted ill never not do it
; ;
move the enemy cast bar next to your hotbars and that pretty much solves it for me
I have a plugin that shows the gcd in the middle of the screen
@winter jetty Which one is that? LOL sorry
target progress bar
Thank you
you need to separate the ui element first
"Target Info (Progress Bar)"?
yes
Is there a shortcut to center a selected element in the HUD layout menu?
probably not
Bit of a stupid question, but is it possible to not have to use a gcd heal while healing wall to walls in a dungeon? I find myself running out of ogcds if the pull is real big and the tank is constantly under damage
no but you can hold shift while dragging so that it snaps in place along the grid
ive had the same experience and it probably wont get better until we get more ilvls
whats main point of hunt trains?
to get hunt currency and tomes
Yes
ya whats the main thing to spend those hunt currency?
if you and the tank are both well-geared, and the tank is mitigating effectively
if it seems like a regular thing people do
materia, in later patches gear upgrade items.
But they also give tomestones
which is what a lot of people are there for.
Fastest way to cap tomestones for the week is to do a few hunt trains
and other random stuff from the hunt vendor
Clarification on savage loot. If I got a clear with 0 chests. Ill not be able to roll for loot even of i clear again right
yes
Correct
Thanks!
I just got this from a level 81 quick exploration?
I see skill-speed on it... is it jus an item for alts?
glam or toss or trade in to gc (not sure if it's even worth the time on that though)
Is there a limit to how many items you can glamour?
as long as you have the prisms for it
but it has skill speed though
skill speed is on everything that isn't a caster
hrm
I havent been neer my pc for the holidays, so I was wondering if it was still possible to get the free game time that was given out for the server issues
substats dont matter below max lvl
@fluid wren if your account was inactive during the day they gave out the game time then you didnt get it
which was back in december
damn sadge
anyone encounter this error recently? i have already got it twice today
ty for the help
for relic weapons, do you need to do the arr relics to access heavenward relics, then stormblood, then shadowbringers? Can you skip straight to shadowbringers?
what's this Currency Exchange from Beast tribes?
is it outdated menus or could I unlock something to turn some of my extra Kojin currency into Sahagin currency?
you turn in beast tribe currency for items
Each beast tribes offers a variety of items
is this warning true?
its its own option that is blank
Including a few exclusive mounts and armors
You need to raise your reputation within that beast tribe
yes
i randomly get oneshot in p3s. by the gloryplume small balls or even just the adds tether attack, ilv581 SCH, is this normal or am I doing something wrong? Not failing the mechanics or anything
Is it realistically doable these days?
of course
What's the minimum
And all of them needed to grind eureka all the way to the end
there is a discord group that does the run very often
Does grinding eureka to the end take a while?
i don't think u can pug it with randoms tho
Yes
took me about a week
I'm in a disc for DRS, joined a prog group. We got to the first boss lol
Is BA similarly hard to DRS?
Just coordinating like what? 40 players to play together is pretty hard by itself
isnt it like 52
Oh you haven't completed it before?
ive done neither BA or DRS but ive heard the mechanics themselves in BA arent hard
im not touching eureka lol
i tried it once and in like 9 hours i got maybe 10% of it completed total
Oh damn lol
and it was boring the entire way
People asked about it fairly often, so i have a some what rough understanding on what it is
you get a pretty cool mount from it tho
Yeah Eureka seems very boring...
is there a group where people group up for DR and castrum to farm?
Nobody goes there either
Hey, at least it is possible to solo most of the grind
in eureka??
@twilit patrol yeah CEM. I've been running with them for a week
eureka is boring? yeah gl with bozja then lol
CEM?
could u please give me a link
bozja is way less boring than eureka
nope
We run it daily
i got to max rank in like 2 days of grinding and like half of it was solo
just put on youtube
hi yall. i got a question. so i want to return to the game after quiting in 2015. i have a physical copy of ARR do i need it to play again?
havent played since then
Crystal Exploratory Missions on Google, should be top link
your old copy should still be valid
I'll see you on the next run :)
although you need to buy the expansions
CEM is for Crystal DC
got it!
is there a way to play without the copy can i download arr through my acc
ty
I haven't found the Chaos version unfortunately
cause right now the copy is in my come country. im not there xD
login to mogstation and see if you still have ARR
ah dang it 😦
can you vc or anything so i can share my screen to show you
you cant vc in this server
im sure i have the game i saw it a sec ago along with another expansion or something
let me find it
just log on to mogstation and click service account status and scroll down
!faq mogstation
i dmed you a screen
Is it fine to not do DoH/L job quests and just do levequest levelling?
can anyone please tell me what are good lost actions for tanks/healers? (castrum) trying to make a guide to make people bring it with them next time i am going to do it 😄
resistance rank 10 prefered
@crimson topazyou'll need the skills unlocked by the class quest for endgame crafting
Gotcha 
do you only get the orchestrion rolls if you're rank 3 for fates in endwalker?
i swear it was rank 2 in shb
@twilit patrolsee above
How do I exit a dungeon if I fainted
Press U and click leave
@BMO#1080 I'm on console
Oh dang, unsure then
@storm sapphire yeah :(
Either that, or the "return to the starting point of [dungeon name]" prompt to respawn
I'm on playstation
Is there a cursor mode?
My idiot self pressed the wrong thing
Everyone left :(
did they beat the dungeon or not
Ya
there should be a notification on the bottom right of your screen and just cycle your ui to it
to return
@remote lintel thank u
How would I be able to add enochian in my hot bar again, I removed enochian and wanted to re-add it. How would I be able to? Opened up my Action & Traits window, under traits I can’t drag and drop enochian. Any solutions?
Oh was that changed?
all jobs were changed with EW
I just came back recently I remember it being an action
Enochian is purely a trait now
It’s always active
Ah alright. Thank you
these are currently best crafting/gathering accessories, right? https://i.imgur.com/WKLA2Ef.png
Is there a huge benefit in repairing the airship? We've just been redeploying it always
Nvm, i can't commence voyage lol
Yes
Can you change the sam's rotational buff icons back to what they used to be?
it was so much easier when they were JUST the same as the ability which gave the buff
is stormblood longer than heavensward?
when a pf says " [mechanic] prog" does that usually mean that its a pf for people that still struggling with [mechanic] or can reliable pass it
i don't know where to get BLUquests
i abandoned the level 1 one iirc and i can't find any of them
Is it against the rules to ask about mods here?
It means they have gotten to that mechanic, but have not passed it, implying they expect you to reach that part without making mistakes and make an attempt to push past said mechanic
ok ty
nope
long as whatever you’re asking about obviously doesn’t further break the game’s ToS in another way

I was wondering if its possible to get a moogle minion
You can get one by upgrading to one of the collector's editions
I don't remember which one, prolly the arr one
That one has a windup moogle.
Some wedding plans also have a moogle minion for the guests
Do I need to complete any story to unlock sage or just reach level 80 on another job first?
@solemn jewel thank u
Just lvl 70 on a job
It's 80 to do the sage quest it says?
Starts at 70, up to 80. Or does that mean I can sage right at 70, then I just have class quests every few levels?
Lemme check again
The starting quest is lvl 70
Sage starts ay 70 as well, u get job quests until 80
Can't wait! Ty Ty
The little icons next to dungeon or trials when selecting. What do they mean? Are they collectibles to be had?
What symbol? The S?
Minion icon?
think it’s item level sync
Not minion sorry
means that it will sync you down to a specific item level
Arh ok ty. Also I'm.level 80 blm now. Am I fully levelled
Or is there more levelling to do
Is Endwalker the last Expac? It just has End in the name so curious lol
no
Can the aoe shields crit for sage?
Can you play Bard comfortably on controller? Or do they have too many abilities?
So I took some guildship marks on Guildship hunt board, how / where do I submit it?
All jobs can be played on controller. It takes a bit of set up but it is pretty comfortable one you get used to it
The monsters marked on your bills will have a tiny mandragora icon over their heads. Just kill the monsters with that icon in the numbers requested and you’ll get rewarded for it automatically.
Ohhh, thank you!
Cool thank you
Are skip potions real? I’ve seen them mentioned a couple of times. What do they do?
they skip parts of the story

They’re purchased with real money. They can either skip parts of the story or boost a job to level 80.
Would you still get the xp if you skipped the quests? So it’s for players who have done the msq numerous times and are tired of it
Ok, thanks!
so people who wanna have multiple accounts on different dcs dont have to do dozens of hours of story
What do I do with items that I cant sell? Is there a bankin system? If so, is it avalible for trials?
theres retainers, but those are paid only
You can discard items or of it's gear, desynth them if you have crafters leveled
Otherwise throw stuff into ur chocobo bag
does ariyala site shows timer for collectable nodes?
What's the difference between target and focus target?
focus target allows you to view hp/debuff/buffs/castbars of a target even if youre targeting something else
How can I use that in battle if I'm using a Keyboard/Mouse?
If I'm targeting an enemy how can I focus target a teammate?
i believe the default is Shift+F; it is configurable
right click the target bar above, there should be a focus target option
when you request meld from someone, and you want to overmeld, the option that consumes all your materia basically spends materia one by one until the overmeld is successful but successful only once ?
are there filter options for the armory chest? i.e. sort by equip lvl, ilvl, rarity, etc?
yes, but they are very hidden
go to Macros - Text Commands and look for /itemsort
has full syntax
ah ok thanks
you have to use the command twice, first to set the parameters, second to execute the parameters
oh man this is kinda wack lol
it is but you can macro it if it's somethign you want to do often
i've seen people macro these two commands into their gearset swap macros
next time i go to ff fes ima ask yoshi if he could add such a basic qol thing to all inventories
seems a bit of an oversight imo
but thanks
only perception matter for retainer?
How does that work?
I think of throwing them some melded accs
they just execute their item sorts each time they swap jobs
Gathering retainers mainly care about gathering
can anyone tell me the difference between a sign and a waymark? why aren't they in the same menu?
one is on players, other is on the ground
yes
aight ty
man when will congestion stop its going so long again tomorrow T.T
When is 6.08 going to be?

what plugin/website do people normally use to track collectible spawn?
garland bell
sorry if this has been asksed a bunch before, is there anyway to but the base game still? if it matters i have an active trial account
have you unlocked radz scrips?
Radz scrips? I can buy other stuff like masteria, aethersand. Is that something else?
!faq scrips
!faq scrip
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)
they should really add synonyms for that
When gearing retainers, the battle ones, only the ilevel of the gear matters right? It can be normal gear?
Well I guess I did because I have all the master books hm
do the newest maps only drop from 90 nodes? or 85 as well?
are you looking in the correct category? crafter 90 materials
Oh I was looking at gatherers oof facepalm lol
is there a way to port all my ui settings from one character to another?
Correct. Doesn’t matter at all what the gear is, only the number of its ilvl
Where do I trade this juicy melon for the minion?
right click > use
Ah I see, thanks
Wow ... i need a dictionary for some of this dialogue 🙂
Is like an English class, learning new words every day heh
Is Koji Fox the main translator ?
or writer ?
lead translator
Hey so who gives me the starting quest to unlock dun scaith?
Koji Fox is localisation director
you will need to complete the quest called Where Shadows Reign. This quest is available by talking to Stacia in The Sea of Clouds (X: 6 Y: 5).
But he does a lot of other stuff too
ok, ya he seems like a prominent part of the games dev.
well maybe not Dev. but at least the dialogue. I also heard he writes some of the songs as well ?
He is basically assistant loremaster and main lyricist
Stacia is not there 🥲
I wonder what quest I haven't done lol I'm in shadowbringers right now lmao
since dun scaith is part of a questline you could be at any part of it
check your journal for your progress and compare with a list of the HW alliance raid quests
then you can jump back at whatever point you currently are
Does anyone know where I can get information on the best monk gear to equip at level 90?
(Out of the gear I have)
I'm currently doing the alexander story and unlocking it solo
general rule of thumb that always is applies is to go for higher ilvl
When you say the gear you have, what do you mean exactly
Maybe I have to finish it first
when it comes to substats check with the balance
Alexander is a different raid
different questline entirely
If you’re doing savage then there are BiS sets on the Balance you can build towards with savage drops
If you’re not doing savage then you don’t really have options, you just go for highest ilevel
Ok then I have no idea lmao
this is a list of all the quests related to the HW alliance raids
check in your journal if you have done any of them
Thanks 😊
What's the meaning of 0/1/2 chests in pf?
So I'm trying to find the best gear for doing savage raids. I have a mix of Classical and Limbo gear.
2 chest indicates no one has cleared and you'll get full chest. 1 chest means between 1-4 players have cleared, 0 chest means 5-8 have cleared
Oh ok
So higher ilvl is better even if the crit stat is lower?
Thanks
!faq balance
this discord has both entry level and BiS lists
your main stat is generally strong than sub stats
both tentative for now however since it's still early
so higher ilvl is, by rule of thumb, going to be better than desired sub stats
There are very few niche situations where lower ilvl is desirable
best in slot
The best gear piece in every gear slot
that is something you work towards though, not something you worry about before entering a new raid
Interesting, it's saying all Classical gear is best
But I have some other lvl 580 gear which has higher crit
crit isnt the end all be all
crafted gear can be pentamelded
why just settle for crit when you can have crit AND det AND dh
What is pentamelding?
Does anyone know if grade 3 la noscean topsoil still works or how it works now?
adding addtional materia to gear
Oh, the lower quality materia?
!faq melding
How do I unlock melding?
Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.
How can I get my gear melded?
To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.
Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?
Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.
Why is my meld giving +0 stats?
Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.
The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.
Yeah, I was told I need to level gather/crafting to be able to meld more
last two slots can only use the IX's tho
ye
either that or pay someone to do it for you
That would require direct interaction with a player, right?
yep
sounds like a job for PF
Oh, I didn't know people used PF for that
yeahm you can advertise or just find an omnicrafter and pay them to meld for you
Is it a lot of work to level up myself?
I have 10 million gil
I don't mind spending a bunch of it. I mostly got it from selling Materia X
i find alchemist pretty good for leves since a lot of their mats were super cheap
at least on crystal, woodworking was the expensive one
but thats marketboard PVP for ya
Hm
So is the fastest way to just disregard quests and craft stuff from materials I buy?
buying HQ leves mats and just giving them to the quest person was my "fast" way of leveling up
esp the triple turn-ins
Do I only need lvl 90 crafting to pentameld, not gathering too?
i'd imagine theres prolly a guide for leveling in the #resources channel?
just 1 lvl 90 crafting
Oh
Just gotta lightly sear the gun
hehe
if you're not on the crafting class while melding you just "press it together with your hands"
I still like to stir fry my materias into my clothes and weapons
"And just a pinch of Heavens Eye Materia IX"
This is an unrelated question, but I play on a Japanese server and I'm in a Discord where lately everyone is talking crap about the ppl in their party and how bad they are. The negative conversation just really made me not enjoy being on voice. Does this happen on English servers often too? I started playing FF for the social aspect rather than the gaming aspect. I didn't to encounter as many competitive people like with eSports games
yeah theres a reason where voice is not longer on this server
but also that there hasnt been any big raiding content since 2020
with 5.4
the reason why VC is not enabled is cos endwalker released
so everyones super eager and competitive with the new tier
and mods didnt want to mod those chats while trying to enjoy the expac release
how do you unlock leves in old sharlayan
I definitely noticed a change in mood on the Discord server I'm in. Everyone is so serious and trash talking their party members and even people from certain countries
crafting and gathering only, iirc
you talk with the leve NPC, maybe, I don't even remember if you need to unlock them
you need to unlock it but only Disciples of the H/Land and lvl 80 at it
I feel they were just unlocked from the start once you reached the city? but otherwise it'd just be a quest on top of the leve NPC
ah so there is
but yeah it's right on top of the leve NPC
like the scrip quest is on top of scrip NPC, should be fairly obvious when you get there
and even people from certain countries
tbf that might just be due to geopolitical tensions at the moment.
if you feel like the people you play with seem to be taking it too far, I'd say look for other people to play with
leaving is no shame
still it says this
yeah? I mean just do what it says?
you're obviously on mch
ohhhh its because i wasnt a DoL/H thats why i didnt see it
thought I was blind lol
DUH
swap to a DoH / DoL?
I switched to show it's for DoH/L
There haven't been combat leves since 3.0
And they're not coming back
yeah and I dunno why
Because they sucked
cause they were shit
I guess BC leves were kind of dum tbh
because leves are a terrible system,
6 a day and they expect you to do 16500 of them?
FATEs are good enough for this type of content
how long does it take to get botanist 1-50
like, a few hours at worst
leveling is a joke nowadays
just doing levequests and class quests ?
16500 ? you're joking i hope 🙂
even just gathering at the correct level gathering points.
nope.
3x of this + 1 per GC for 500 for another 1500 total
fairs cheers bro
wow
takes just shy of 8 years to complete if you do it w/o overcapping.
hi every1, can any1 tell me where and how i get this item/skin?

im infront of E-Una-Kotor, have the pre-weapon (the white one) and the 6 grips
but im scrolling through every menu of the npc
and cant find the exchange
play palace of the dead,
gain a total of 90 aetherpool strength & turn those into grips.
trade in grips for weapon.
don't remember if you need to have a specific floor cleared for the kinna tho
clear floor 100 in potd to unlock
any sense in farming the normal pande raids if you have access to crafted gear other than glam?
p4n once a week for the weapon token, unless you get the savage weapon first
oh is the weapon higher than 580? Thanks
it's 590
600 when augmented
ok nice, just p4n for weekly chores then. Thanks again!
if you're doing savage, you can get the tomestone for that weapon from it instead
From P2s
cant commit to savage rn due to no static / being active during dead hours. So the ex2 weapon will have to suffice till the p4n weapon i guess
not really accurate to call it p4n weapon
@hot eagleredmage still the best climber for solo potd?
its just an alt path to getting the astronomy weapon
ayt noted
how can i level up machinist when my quests are lvl 50
!faq altlvlguide
i climbed potd like ages ago..... redmage still the best climber for solo?
Btw am I the only one who gets a little confused when extracting materia? like why the window shows the item has materia in it, makes me think I am extracting the materia already inside the gear (yes I know it doesn't do that but can't help wonder if people get confused like this too)
that's fair and all but tell a newbie this and they ask "what's a spiritbond?" if they even ask it
it still takes skill on RDM cuz squishy.
GNB is the "safest" in terms of squishy, but you'll be racing the timer.
most classes can clear solo nowadays tho, even tho you'll be bashing your head against a wall
Can u get token if u join savage you cleared?
No
you don't get anything if you cleared, + the rest of the group gets less loot
what does "heavy" do?
slow you down, movement speed decrease
I see i see
So even if 1 chest drop u cant roll?
Nope
No reason to run again outside of practice
Oka
^ @uncut quarry
yes, and people will actively not want you to join them if they haven't cleared yet.
cuz if they happen to clear w/ you in their group they get punished
hey guys, i like playing ff14 but i feel stuck cus to progress i have to learn the raid which has hard mechanics? otherwise i don't know what other things i can do. any idea?
if you feel savage is too hard, wait for the alliance raid
Can i do diffrent relics from diffrent DLC (HW, ARR) at the same time or do i have to choose 1
Yes you can
you can, you can even do the same expansions relics at the same time, as long as they're not on the same step
If you’re talking about the normal raids, dying is okay. It’s how you learn
is it okay in savage? asmongold seems like he learns by dying
Yes
That's how you learn literally anything
A good player has failed and died way more than a bad player
You need to know the limits and you learn that by doing and failing
You WILL die and wipe alot during prog
is there a way to share my macro that are under shared tab on my console?
I bought all the Classical gear for monk, but my DPS isn't high enough to beat the dummy. I guess I need to pentameld. Not sure if my rotation is that bad
asmongold also has 15 years of WoW experience, he knows what to expect from hard content.
don't compare yourself to people used to hard content
I'm just trying to do the first circle savage
- SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
Oh, it's true I get more DPS with other party members, but I think I should be able to beat the dummy
I don't like you calling my rotation "shit". Is that even allowed?
I don't take offense to being bad, just the language
We all curse here
But yeah if you can't even beat the dummy as a dps your rotation is pretty bad
It's scaled for min ilevel
SSS should be clearable w/ min-ilv.
so if you have issues 10 ilv. higher, you have an issue in your rotation
OK, ty
The truth is it's not just the language I think, it's being criticized in such a harsh way
I know it's not personal
feel free to take it up with a manager moderator
It's OK
Any advice for how I can check my rotation? I did read a guide and I thought I was following it properly
I used this one: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YknXZKzoOfFe9WQ0Yb1JDUvj7js5ZJFQIUD105eE1tY/edit

I still don't know how to do the opening, just the normal rotation
Look at 7 on the kupo thing
Hey what does phases mean when people are talking about raids ?
Sections of the fight
So when people say learning phase 2 means they are good up to phase 2 ?
Usually after add spawns or a part where the boss jumps away
They have transitions and everything
Yes they know phase 1
Ahhhh ok
Me as an trial, I noticed its oddly quiet, even in the big cities.
I know that I cant use /shout but I am curious if I also cant see other people use /shout
No
Most people talk to FC members if anything
Or linkshells
Or shout when it’s something actually important happening
FC = Free Company?
What are linkshells?
Private chat rooms for things
People talk in public around limsa and gridania aetheryte plazas but not much otherwsie
How do I exchange mettle for attack buffs in Zadnor?
Finish Zadnor story first
Finish Dalriada then talk to the commander in Zadnor
Then it will be explained to you
Or commissioner guy whatever
Already did, came back to the game after a long time and I forgot lol
I cannot find the guy
Left of where you spawn
