It's a different skip

DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
One skips story, another just levels you
Warrior is a tank
I apparently caused 2 wipes during trash after the first boss in Zot. Got kicked.
Faq needs updating
If you go into a dungeon without
Its 80 not 70 now
Doing tank stuff
i mean that just sounds like people being toxic
Like using your tank stance, using defensive abilities
How do I uncap my chocobo from 11 to 12?
And pulling stray enemies back into the group
its currently stuck at level 11
Use another onion
Stance on, rotating cooldowns, bloodletting on cooldown, keeping aggro. I don't know what I did wrong.
More onion
As a tank I like to watch a video of the dungeon and play it as a dps first
okie dokie
Blame healer
You'll need one per level
sounds like people being toxic
I was the one who got kicked.
also i hope you werent JUST using bloodwhetting
If you did your end of the work, but still failed
Then it is not your fault, you cannot carry a team by yourself
I said I was using cooldowns on rotation, including Reprisal and AL
If you keep getting kicked from multiple dungeons with different party members
Then you might be missing something
And didn't know that it is crucial
You can also try the classic "I'm new to war/this dungeon, if there is something I miss please tell me."
yeah i wouldnt kick someone after 2 wipes if they didnt know what they were doing wrong
@young aurora you're good. I was yeeted once for asking a white mage to use holy
Apparently they were friends
Another possibility is "hey, our friend is playing now, let's kick the tank and let them queue in with us"
Even if you think you are doing everything perfectly I know I go a lot easier on tanks/healers if they start a dungeon saying it's their first time or they are rusty
No, it was me because one of the members asked me about cooldowns and stuff, and after I said I was using them, that's when I was kicked.
Do you use defensive cooldown at high health?
Beginning of endwalker I had tanks saying they are rusty almost every other dungeon
It was also immediately after the loot window went away (I had rolled, so it wasn't me keeping it up)
Or when you are 2 auto attacks away from dying?
is it explained where the mandervilles got all their money to build the gold saucer from?
I use them when I stop running because I try to w2w.
Godbert is a really good goldsmith
So I don't get yelled at for single pulling
Yup
Obviously not
They were shit at theirs
So you trust their judgment more than us?
From my understanding they were probably thinking since you burned your big CDs you won't have them for the boss and wipe
Big cooldowns are more relevant for big trash pulls than for bosses anyways, theres not really any tank oneshot dungeon bosses out there 
Or they just assume that 19 is one of those elitist tank who want to go hard and wall to wall and will throw a tantrum if they don't folloe
Not everyone in XIV knows what they are doing
Is there an efficient way to cap tomestones?
Expert and hunts
Do 5 experts a week, that alone is enough - but anything else can be used to augment it. Hunts, other roulettes
Is w2w bad now?
No
With so many players playing, it is an eventuality that you will get 3 friends as your party member, and none of them knows how to play
You had a shit healer
this though?
@young aurora you sound like you did good. Just think of it as a toxic party and move on don't let.it get to you
My point is, some people don't know that they are stupid
So they just make very dumb calls (example "when I tank, I do single group. This tank do wall to wall to grief us")
And you are on the receiving end this time
Or spam cure 
Just let it go
I want to know what I did wrong so I don't get kicked again or wind up on tfdf
You didn't do anything wrong
Is this section where we can ask for help with an activity?
Sometimes, you can do no wrong, and still won't win
That's what we're saying
That's how it works with life
I dont think anyone here will be able to answer what they were thinkin, based on what ya said
I caused 2 wipes on trash. I got kicked for it.
How do you know it was YOU specifically
lack of details my dude
Hm?
we don't even know what caused the wipe -_-
Because I got kicked!
That legit says nothing lol
You didn't mention anything wrong, if you are really worried make a macro that party says "I'm rusty if there is something I missed tell me " to avoid this in the future
What if they make the wrong call?
Preaching the truth
You tell us everything, and based on that we determined that it is not your fault
What else is there to do
Yet you still want to insist that what they did is right and what we told you is wrong
Fucking backflip and become a healer with a 6 second benediction
What healer is best for console players?
All
You mean like advice on how to do somethin, or like "I need someone to come with me to X" - Its a Yes and a No for those 😮
All jobs can be played well on controller
I never played healer so I figured you need to click on players to heal them which I can't do on console
More so "Someone help with X" If this isn't the section it's all good. Thanks for letting me know friend~
I'm assuming whm is best newbie healer class?
if it's 5th player in party list, press up dpad 4 times
I'm doing another ARR relic, but for the zenith -> atma step, I can't accept the Up in Arms quest. Do I only need to have done it once? will the items from FATEs just appear?
Yes
if it's 4th player, press down dpad 4 times
And by newbie I mean the closest to healing I've ever done is res someone as rdm
Yah sorry, depending on what it is your best bet might be a Party Finder or other
WHM is honest and straightforward
healer rotation is easier than DPS
Thank ya o/
It doesn't have fancy trickery
just make sure dot is up 100% then just spam gcd
Whm is press button, get heal
It just does its job
Ok I'll try out whm
Very friendly for first time healer
i want to get lvl my first healer would ast be a good option he is the most appealing one for me
I've done every other class but healer because I've always been worried about how healers work on console
AST is fine too, any job is good to learn as long as you're willing to learn it
Play what you are attracted to
i do like sage but it starts out too high i want to learn the ropes before i do sage too many abilites
Thankfully XIV jobs are overall pretty balanced, and the dev works on tuning them
All healers will end up with roughly the same amount of abilities by the time you get up there, so just keep that in mind
There's no "don't play this cuz people won't want you" job in XIV
The problem is I have never healed in any game I've played so I have no idea what healing entails
ik and i am cool with tons of abilities is just easier i guess to learn 1 at a time
In this game, healing is generally "Always be casting" - if you're not healing, do damage. If you need to heal, heal
Make sure people don't die by anticipating what's coming to hurt them
then realize is not the optimal rotation and spend a few hours at the dummy practicing
And manage their health accordingly
at least thats what happened when i made it to 90 at blm
WHM and AST are the "Pure" healers, SCH and SGE are the "barrier" healers - but both types have both skills anyways. Its very balanced
i like the support ast offers
i love when they are on the team
Not gonna die soon: let them heal slowly with regen
Gonna die real soon or everything in the dungeon want a piece of them: baby sit them with heals until they are less threaten
is like oprah handing out cards
I'm assuming I still can't buy this game?
You assume correctly.
so what happens to people that dont know and buy a physical copy ?
out of curiosity
News expected this week, please look forward to it
All sales were removed from all official sellers
You can still register codes if you have one
They can’t really do anything about physical copies out in the wild
i work at retailers and we got them on the shelves
idk if pos will let the transaction go through tho
Is the only reason pld is considered one of the worse tanks because of its lower dps?
Or is there something else to it
is ffxiv gonna update their servers
Nah just like this forever /s
Ofc they are
News coming soon
You have to remember the reality we live in
They are trying but the physical requirements for servers and covid restrictions slow things down
With covid and semiconductor shortage
dang
Shit moves slow
Expecting Yoshi to give us news this week about sales and servers, dunno what they'll say hut please look forward to it
This is even with SE buying server space at more than double the usual price
It's legit taken a year to get OCE data centre up and ready
To put in perspective
I heard they are planning on making things cross world eventually?
Cross data centre visit yes
Cross data center, yes
Fuck knows when that will be at this point
That would be amazing
Can already world visit within your cluster, but DC travel will let you travel anywhere in your region
Ever since I tried my first mmo a true cross world server was always something I wanted
You won't be able to visit JP or EU, but any server in NA for you. No ETA though thanks to the situation
was command missions nerfed?
Haven’t changed
No, what issue are you running into?

my squad members just feel like they dont do damage anymore i'm doing hw dungeons and its taking longer than it does with players
The only important aspect here is the code used to validate the game. Since technically those game copies (along with their validation codes) were already purchased by the retailer and are simply being resold, the codes issued with the physical sets have already been issued and should still be valid.
Same logic as to how buying the game off an "online resaler" would still work, except with the reasonable assurance that the game store isn't scamming its customers.
afaik SE isn't preventing the registration of new game codes, simply the sale (and thus generation) of them
Its supposed to take longer than it does with players, should be balanced around 30 minutes per dungeon.
tfw your tank wipes the party twice on trash and makes trusts faster
good to know thanks
also quick q when a player in party has a flower and then a server name does it mean they are from that server?
different meanings
Ye
Yes
yes
Oh in the chat window yeah
ohh cool i see some many people from ultros
Which of the 2 GC lootboxes are better? Or is it just preferential?
pref
but if you're looking to sell what you get
4.0 probably be a bit better
a lot of the 3.0 minions don't go for that much but still ultimately pref
and pretty rng
Thanks!
So the difference between grand company is just cosmetics?
Yes
and locale
Does anyone know how to make your "target status" affliction larger than other members of the party?
You'll have to go into your HUD Layout and manually edit it.
I wasn't able to find an option in the HUD edit under "target info (status)". Do you know the exact setting by chance?
Click on the status bar then click on "system" then the little gear for "UI Element Settings". This will open up another window where you can modify the size of the status bar.
Official instructions from the devs.
that doesn't let you make your own debuffs bigger, pretty sure that's just a mod
yeah, I looked through those. But that enlarges all the debuffs, not yours specifically
you can make all debuffs bigger, and you can hide other people's debuff entirely, but can't scale only your own debuffs afaik
besides 3rd party UI mods which let you do a lot more stuff
I'm watching Xeno's stream and he has it but doesn't answer the question :/. Was wondering how that's set
You can, in fact, do this. You just have to separate your buffs/debuffs/outside effects into three groups.
you cannot specifically make your own debuffs bigger than other people's debuff, which is what they're asking, I've seen xeno has its
Ah, I see what's being asked.
Yeah, that would be a mod, then. Your own debuffs should show up in front of everyone else's and have a different color number timer on them.
That's about it, though.
Hey so I just found out, there's another horse mount called nightmare that is extremely rare and drops from any of the ARR extreme trials is this true?
Xeno answered saying its default hud layout
yeah on his UI, his own debuffs(mostly reprisal) is like twice as big
how's that possible...
Yes
not any, its from titan/ifrit/garuda ex
Perfect, I'll farm the hell out of them then. Thanks!
on universalis.app, what's the difference between these 2 sections?
(they are at the bottom of a material)
re: larger debuffs. its a plugin
https://github.com/goatcorp/FFXIVQuickLauncher, https://github.com/rgd87/BigPlayerDebuffs
look up, one pertains to listed prices, other pertains to sales made
I am trying to do the glorified ratcatcher quest, but for some reason I do not see any more spawns for the rat that I need to capture.
There is an orange area that should have it but I checked and there is nothing there.
.. Never mind. I found it.
not sure where I can see it but ty
ah alright thanks its late 😴
I have a question regarding p2s
Do you think having mixture of 590 and 580 gear will make a difference for dps check?
can you not use astronomy for gear on its own, it needs savage drops as well?
only for weapons
and even there, you can substitute it with 7 weeks of normal drops
and well for augmented versions of astronomy gear, for now
Garuda is the fastest to farm unsynced fyi. I’d estimate the drop rate of nightmare to be 5–10%
Better gear helps with the dps check by its very nature yeah
That said, P2S doesn’t have a very stringent dps check
yeah it's perfectly doable with 580, even lower really
Are the endwalker role quests required to complete the msq?
just wanted to ask. is blue mage still relevant or is it completely overshadowed
it was never 'relevant'
it is a game of its own
it doesn't participate in things other combat jobs do
am i missing something from the Ania tankbuster from EX1? The tank swap goes out, but im still hit by autos and i die, it happened multiple times
you didn't swap then
shirk the tank
^
im staring at the aggro and the boss is definitely targeting the other one
if you don't shirk and generate more threat than the other tank, you'll still be top
then you shirked too late.
i did less damage to begin with
Is cotank provoking during the cast bar?
so provoke, ess damage, the boss is targeting the other tank, all doesnt matter?
yes
Well it’s not strictly required
I mean if the boss targets the other tank it's not attacking you, so it likely targetted the other tank, then switched back to you and killed you
It’s just a no-brainer to do so
better safe than sorry honestly
Yeah
if you didn't shirk then that's probably why you still got auto'd
also you should drop stance for a few gcds
Eh?
well if you shirk no reason to
Who does that
dropping stance is only if you don't shirk/it's on cd
You shirked
How to level from 60-70? Already did daily roulettes.
What can I do with the gordian materials, aside from armor and what not?
Highest level dungeon. to get to level 61 though, spam gubal
Damn, well, I guess I'll just dro them or something
Can anyone see this message
no
Am I shadowbanned
yes
discord doesn't have shadowbans, only regular bans

people say heaven on high, never done it personally
unlock all leveling dungeon blue quest, then spam the highest dungeon you could access
need/greed all gears, update all your gears regularly and do your job quest
that's pretty much it
is there a gridania roof option for houses? i like the flower roofs
how easy is sage using a controller compared to using a mouse?
try it yourself
Perfectly fine
any job is doable on controller.
All jobs are capable on controller
just is a matter of how you lay out your buttons.
Just press buttons
Yea, they all span between 24 and 32 buttons, not sure if any need more than that
don't know the exact number but sage is around like. whm number of buttons
is there a wonderous trail sticker checker command?
You go into key items and open it, you can also attach it to a hotbar
not sure what you mean, stickers are random.
Does Rockbreaker now have a 360° aoe?
Yes
Kewl
Was changed some point in shadowbringers
Wait it was?
Yes
I mean I use it a lot but shit.
One of the post patches, probably when greased lightning was adjusted
I honestly thought I was still doing cone damage for the past 2 years!
Ah
So probably more like for the past year then.
Is aspected helios much better than regular helios?
Only if the regen if left to tick people up
count the difference
divide the duration by 3 and multiply by listed potency
100 potency per tick
Per tick
you will get total potency
Yes
Wow, so 500 potency
- on hit
!action Helios
Helios is for when you need healing now
Uh
Like heal checks
That doesn't look right?
lvl 85 passive increases it from 330 to 400
you dont have the trait
ah kk
bot pulls skills as they are at 90
If I’m on trial can I still buy costumes for $ in the web store when signing in ?
Does anyone happen to know which Gear Adkiragh is wearing? Specifically the Chest and Gloves gear, and if it's obtainable in-game.
Benefic 1 VS benefic 2...?
Always 2
What's the point of 1 then?
1 is for downsynced when you dont have 2
can i get some pointers for healing wall-to-wall pulls in dungeons below Lv50 as a SCH
When you're low level
Why didn't they just make it overlap like most other spells... lmao
Cause the shitty trait
Sweet, thank you very much. 🙇
proc is bait
shitty trait
same as free cure
The trait seems okay, no?
Lol
oh
Why in the fuck
Too rng and not gcd efficient
Any proc less than 50% is not reliably usable.
We've been asking why that and freecure are still in the game
Should have been removed 6 years ago
freecure?
Whm version of it
So they can be buffed as a level 94 trait
!trait Freecure
This junk
lmao wtf
Is there any way to ahve them override each other depending on what level I'm synced to?
No
reeeeeee
Is there any way of knowing you have dualcast up outside of looking at your buff bar or keeping track in your head?
What is clarifying draw for redraw? Are there times when I can't redraw?
Sometimes I forget I have it up between packs lmao
when you've already redrawn
OH
basically just means you can redraw once
I forgot, where you able to redraw infinitely before?
3 charges
redraw had charges
Oh yeah
That's lame, I miss that
Weaving in redraws
to get the right card to buff a dps that isn't buffed yet
So now that I can't redraw as much, is it even harder to get 3 different signs aligned now?
You're not aiming for 3 seals
Not anymore?
seals are tied to astrodyne
Buffing dps >> buffing you
That's kind of dumb. I liked aiming for 3 seals
Oh interesting, they changed neutral sect
I thought it was a toggle?
no
I could have sworn there was a time where you could switch what your aspected could do, either regen or barrier
Nocturnal
that was your diurnal or nocturnal sect
Was removed
not neutral
Ah I see
A while back I made it so I can see ten status effects next to my party members but I can't remember where the setting was does anyone know?
There is no way to influence the new crown draw right?
Is there any way to separate battle voices and cutscene voices in settings? I don’t want to hear my character yell but I want to hear cutscene dialogue. Also, I want to be able to hear the mudras but not yelling
Nope
so i have the base game but wanted to know if steam endwalker codes are region locked
yes
damn, ty

is there a button you can press to cancel a macro? while doing ishgard restoration spam, i notice sometimes my macro randomly stops after the 1st step or two
you can make a macro that does /macrocancel
yeah i dont have that yet my restoration crafting macros be stopping...does that normally happen?
if you press any other macro it also stops
ooooh...that explains it...collapsible hotbar macros stopped that lol
is there an area to store orchestrion rolls
You don’t have to store them anywhere, you simply “use” the items and it is added to your orchestrion list permanently
Similar to unlocking a new mount or minion
ohhh ok nvm i forgot to craft the faded version into the ones you can use
Anyone know if possible?
Oof. That sucks.
But ty for info
Guess I’ll have to level a caster then because that is annoying
there is a dalamud plugin that allows you to mute specific sound files but i've never used it, so not sure if it can be used for that purpose
all jobs have it
it's hardly annoying, you just need to balance you sfx to hide it in combat.
You sure? I never hear yelling from my arcanist - just my melee jobs
any chance in the next week update that they'll address the server issues? Would be nice to know how long I'll have to wait to buy the game ;-;
hey in a free for all treasure map hunt do I roll greed or need?
a need of anything >0 takes priority over any greed roll
need cannot be 0, a 0 is pass
is there a way to need or greed a bronze chest item?
theyre gonna have an update, but nobody knows whatll happen. very unlikely they have new servers though in such a short timeframe
So unless you guys decided to greed only
so just roll need?
i guess so since it's FFA
deciding to greed only is just inviting somebody to ninja need
Have cure 1 and medica 1 become obsolete now?
Yes but no
i have cure 1 unbound. medica 1 i use occasionally when medica2 dot is already on, and i need aoe heals but dont have anything better
okiez nice, I'm just hoping that they'll give like a time, like to say how long until the new servers can be up would be nice~ I njeed my mmo fix
I've been relearning whm and getting back into things and cure 1 feels like a waste.
For medica I noticed we get rapture now
i would be surprised if they have new server hardware coming in the next 6 months
cure 1 is more mana efficient but it doesnt matter in current content. it does matter when you sync down to 50 to do coils synced for example
since you dont even have assize
dem, so they gonna not let anyone buy the game for 6 months omg helps
i mean...queues are dying down somewhat
6pm EST today q on aether sarg was only like 700
usually i see 2k
thats good to know ><
Even in older content, cure 2 is better and lets me DPS more though
im legit dying to play it HAHA
you will run out of mana in synced 50 content that way
in difficult synced 50 content*
Anyone know how to do that tarrasque fate?
At low level, WHM doesn't have enough healing tools yet so you still need to consider using cure in certain circumstances, as said by Captain
suddenly, Captain
Lol, brain fart
At higher level, I have only seen cure being used in solo healer ultimate as a way to conserve MP
But that's insanely niche
I max out both my crossbars now. Atleast I don't need a third lol I'll take it
Critical hit is more important than direct hit for bards, right?
how does the level 30 class quest work for arcanist, since u have 2 classes? do both just show up? are they the same npc or osmething
Different people
ill just have an extra 30 job quest then?
two different 30 quests for sch and smn unlock
most job want crit > dh >= det
skill speed/spell speed usually only needed to reach certain comfy gcd, tenacity sucks for tank and piety also not really needed as healer (maybe need some for progging savage)
Thanks kael
Think that's the first time I've ever seen determination be put above direct hit, even with that cav... ah.
Okay for Bard, that make sense.
Was gonna say, first time hearing that as blanket rule for all DPS.
for a lot of jobs
det has become really close to dh
since 6.0 came with adjustments to det and the damage formula
det and dh are basically replaceable for one another for several jobs, barring niche stuff like war
Anyone have an updated reaper rotation for Endwalker?
so i saw there used to be a coffee biscuit gil making fund, but with EW release, that apparently got nerfed? howd that happen? did they remove the leve?
There's no triple turn in leve anymore from my understanding
no, they just destroyed the gil reward
triple turn ins still exist
Though endwalker leves do not have a triple turn in
ah darn...man i missed out
Ohh ok, so did they nerf gold reward of all leves or just that one specifically?
Honestly it wasn't that worth it lol. Extremely tedious
they lowered the gil reward for triple turn ins
Macro crafting every cookie, turning them in manually. I got carpal tunnel in an hour
u still made a profit just buying off market and turning in \
It was not a huge profit
figure put it in your first inventory slot and spam confirm till u break a key
you can still make some profit from leves though, with endwalker leves
despite the fact they're single turn ins
At the end of it all I'd just sell the materials lol
its just not going to be as high as what coffee biscuits made
@pure copper how much gil do you have
im sitting on like 4m
I have a question, does FF14 have dynamic server sizes?
Nope
can you trade savage loot chests?
Nope
'm trying to equip a new chest piece to my retainer and it keeps giving me "Unable to obtain. You already possess one of that unique item." But she isn't wearing any chest armor currently so I'm not obtaining anything. Any ideas how I can fix this?
@pure copper if you can craft, an easy niche is low level HQ weapons of the dlc classes
are you certain its not an item in their inventory?
cos they can't have the item equipped and one in their inventory
why did 3 loot chests drop on ps1 when i did it with no one clearing, but this week with 1 person cleared, there was only 1 loot chest?
because that's how savage loot works
if no one has cleared for the week you get 2 chests
if between 1-4 have already cleared, it drops to 1
if 5+, you get no chest
is it rude to roll on panda normal tokens for your alt jobs/glamour?
no
sorry i shouldve rephrased, why did 3 chests drop the firsst week?
because 2 of those coffers were in 1 chest
the other coffer was in the other chest
this week you had someone who cleared, thus reducing the amount of chests to 1.
your group got the chest that had 1 coffer
ohhh so each chest can have 2 items?
Hello.
Can someone point to a. Female Raen AuRa name generator, with meanings?
any japanese name should do right?
If thats what lore says
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/63112
no generator but heres the naming conventions for all the races
Elezen
Both the Wildwood and Duskwight Elezen are proud clans from a proud race. The forenames and surnames used by them have changed little since the time when they first crossed into Eorzea from the north. However, over the ages, due to bad blood between the two tribes, the surnames once commonly used by both, have b...

Although,
Where can I find the meaning of the names ^^^;

Well they are japanese words so I'd try a Japanese translator
How does it work to have 10-40 player queues all the time? Do really only 30 more players play at 6pm than on 6am?
@pure zenith I be dumb. Thank you!
hey guys, i'm currently capped on 2k poetics. And I literally have no idea what to do with them. Anything I can spend them on?
!faq poetics
tl;dr gear for alt jobs or anima weapon stuff
the server logs in people in batches. it takes an X amount of players and processes them for some time, then it takes the next batch
@cosmic juniper if you got nothing to buy you can get accessories to turn into GC seals for random minion and mount lottery
I actually have no inventory space so i can't really buy anything
sounds like you need to do some spring cleaning then
Hm how does that work?
Some of them can sell for millions
I'm a terrible hoarder lol
It's the loot box at your GC vendor
should be noted you need max rank (Captain) to do this
u need max GC rank
(dont expect to get stuff that sells for millions. if it was easy to get, it wouldn't be selling for millions)
is this posted under the wrong fight? And if so, wtf is the chain sac strat
Yeah it's a lottery, only the 1% win lol
But it does have the potential to drop very valuable stuff
uhh not sure how I can even check my gc rank lol
im still in post heavensward story
I don't think GC rank is tied to any MSQ progress
C > profile
it says it right after, run into wall if yo uget debuff
though
oh im flame sergeant first class
I think that's one from max
I'm confused, because if it is indeed P1S, why would you farm that? 👀
why do strange people do strange things?
me neither, that person clearly does not know what they're talking about or how to do the fight well if they're doing the 'sac strat'
so i would just equate it to that
i thought i saw that on shitpostXIV the other day
@cosmic juniper actually it's like 5 ranks from max. Keep raising it!! It's mostly passive
squadrons is easily a few weeks of roadblock
Can p2s drop 2 coffers of the same type?
yes
oh rip im so far behind lol. Is there a video on how to manage inventory? I'm literally hoarding os much crap lol
The worst part of squadron was taking them for 5 dungeon runs. They are so damn dumb omg
Don't ask me I'm always 80% full LOL
now you understand why every NPC is so excited to have your help.
I was doing the healer and the NPC tank was just hanging out in that AoE, like it was a comfy couch
anyone have oddly delicate macros for 6.0?
if a boss has a targeted mechanic it will always target you, and the squadron NPCs have something like -90% damage taken from boss mechanics
Oh yeah he was hardly taking damage
But in that one dungeon where you walk and ice sprites pop out, squadron wasn't proccing them, only me. And when they appeared the tank was just doing nothing and they all agrod me lol
It hurt
You have to micro manage them with orders
Trust NPCs are much smarter tho, right?
yes they actually do mechanics
apparently our boy uberdanger is the king of aoe now
either achievement screen itself or Jonathas in Old Gridania
is the command savageloottable for the bot so I can see what normal fights drop what tokens?
What's up with the forlorn maiden? I sometimes run into this thing while doing FATES in thavnair
been like that since stormblood
but a lot of people just ignore her even while leveling
Ah that explains it. Haven't really done FATES til now
At what point of Eureka can you combine logograms into better ones?
heloo, so is there some cofee biscuit alternative in endwalker? even not as good
you can probably still get a few hundred k doing any endwalker leve
but not close to the one and a half million 100 allowances used to get you
can you tell me whats the best caspian?
i dont know, just find something you can easily craft
i need it cause of housing savage
it's a huge waste of time though
What's housing savage
ohh i see
Could there possibly be a way to convert flame seals to gil?
Max rank loot boxes
True. I am not max rank, however. I'm like third from last.
Then get to work ;)
if you turn on min ilvl does it make it harder to find people?
in duty finder or party finder?
duty finder
yes
ooh k
no one will queue for a duty in MINE unless they're partying up for one in PF
Hey if I delete my current WT from my inventory (that I got this week) can I get another one?
is there any website where I can get the BiS melds for different classes ?
was thinking of doing the raids min ilvl but if it makes it impossible to find people the screw that
nope
Also am I supposed to get an updated book once I've finished SB>
!faq balance
check the resource channels
Cause I still only see HW level stuff
make a party finder party and set it to min i level and hope people join if you want to try
How to add reward unclaimed rule in pf
just say it in the details ig
once you unlock the content, not just getting to a specific msq
have you talked to yoshi p in kugane yet?
No?
i meant the wandering ministral
once.
Some omega raids, some ivalice raids, only byakko
Lemme clarify, all of Alphascape, lighthouse, and byakko
hmm, might just not have snapshot the new stuff yet
no its his WT book
updated WT book. These were completed before today morning
oh
Bozja is ivalice + ShB MSQ yeah?
people don't mind if I post glam right?

@steel canopy my guess is that its still on the lvl 60 book rather than the current one, but idk when the flag updates for it

So, I'm trying to do the quest "Lost No Longer" in the Bozjan Front, which requires you to get one forgotten fragment. The problem is... I have eight.
Bug?
You need a specific type, which drops from the not-robot mobs directly outside the door.
Ohhhh okay. So the plant things. Got it. Thanks.
what level can i solo ex stuff from arr
i know 70 is a given but
what about 65-ish
Depends on which fights
Ramuh you just need to pick up 3 orb to basically mitigate his spanking tank buster dmg to minimum dmg
I'm fairly sure that Leviathan and maybe garuda will be challenging with lvl 65 job
whats the best class for speed leveling?
yeah, there's a cooldown on that after your orb buffs wear out though
ah yeah, thats true
i'll have to test the rest out
May I ask why you need to level up fast?
Titan, and Ifrit should be fine
Shiva... Is a maybe?
by this do you mean alt levelling, or just levelling in general
Tank and healer level up faster because they usually have shorter dungeon queue time
leveling my first character
But if a DPS player has a tank/healer friend, then they will just level up equally fast
cause there's no certainly 'best' class in alt levelling but roles do have different queue times when going into dungeons, which are the most efficient way to level your job
So why are you looking into gaining more level?
do msq
While being on your first class?
i want to unlock the samurai class
I assume you are not on free trial?
you will suffer levelling to 50 if you don't do msq my dude
i would buy the $20 edition
it's the best way to level your highest levelled job
i asked this question earlier and the answer was yes but i found this post on reddit
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/6dwnoi/steam_stormblood_na_on_eu_account/?utm_source=share&utm_medium=web2x&context=3
so was that only a thing back during stormblood or are the expansions not region locked for steam
i just want to make sure before buying endwalker
!faq sbjobs
Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Job Unlock Locations:
Red Mage - Distraught Lass at Ul'dah - Steps of Thal (14,12), quest name is "Taking the Red".
Samurai - Ul'dahn Citizen at Ul'dah - Steps of Nald (9,9), quest name is "The Way of the Samurai".
To get samurai you also need to own Stormblood (if you have Shadowbringers, or Endwalker, then you have Stormblood too)
i don't have any prior knowledge to this but afaik if you ever do end up purchasing a region-locked code that you cannot redeem you can contact squeenix to replace it
take my words with a grain of salt though, since i've only heard about this from word of mouth
And in regards to leveling faster, outside of just doing msq and grinding dungeons
Your only choice is to buy a job boost
so if it helps with you being nervous about your purchase,, well
yeah the issue is whether they will reply or not, a bunch of peeps didn't get a reply
yikes
ah, actually they are
at least for me
on steam?
in steam, i can't even see ffxiv lmfao
i can see the free trial but not the actual game
yeah they stopped sales lmao, managed to buy the game before it was removed, only endwalker is there now
oh
People said MCH was best class for POTD?
It is one of the comfy pick if you wanna solo potd
is there a guide for ishgardian restoration crafter leveling that has the gear u need for the levels and macros for the items?
If I ue a pomander of lust, does it restore all my health, or do I just become a low health succubus
Check pin in #doh-dol-lounge, maybe they have something there for you
Is there a follow-up quest after finishing all five role quests? If so, where does it start?

sometimes when i sit on something and i type something in chat and press enter, my character stands up. what's up with that?
Should not happen I think, maybe you press a movement button after entering the message?
how can i see the macros other people made on teamcraft?
sharing > community rotations
ok thanks
So any idea when free trial people will regain queue functionality?
technically free trial people can still log on, it's just... not when there's like 100+ people in queue
Prime time queues are still 1000 to 2000+ in NA
If you mean when people can create new trial accounts again 
that answer has nothing to do with queues, which were mentioned
yea
Yes
in fact the new years event is happening right now
I think we skipped 2021 Halloween event though? Since they had to prepare for EW, followed by the 2 week delay?
Halloween is soon
Oh, they're still postponing it? Any idea when?
After heavensturn
Oh, that's great
I'm assuming there's 0% chance this halloween event will allow us to get the Werewolf outfit considering it's in the FF14 store?
Or is there like a backdoor way of getting it like how people could buy the Dream outfit from the Calamity Salvager and selling it on MB?
Seasonal stuff is new every year
Dream outfit is a unique situation
For people who did the original event I think so but it won't be MB able
The event it was originally in occurred in 1.0
Dream outfit is some leftover jank
Oh...
When they did stuff different and had no cash shop
For lack of a better term
That's sad...
I'll take the variety, that and seasonal stuff goes on sale during each event
And they're pretty cheap on mogstation to begin with
And if you missed out you can at least cure the fomo with a little money if you really crave it
what is the dream outfit look like
Santa outfit
!iglam dream tunic
Side note: halloween event was delayed til feb iirc
No wait, late jan
Could easily become Feb tho
I mean i do want the legs and maybe the hands to experiment with some possible glamour sets, but i'm also reluctant to fork out $8 (in my currency) for a glamour i might not wear, because an Aura with furry gear looks out of place...
The problems with picking a non-human race... wearing animal ears when u already have animal ears(?) looks so wierd...
I have them yeah, and i never use them. But i was thinking of combining the WW legs and arms with something like the Warg aiming body or the PvP fending/maiming body (forgot the name) to create a werewolf kinda look
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I play miqote so all the ears make me look dumb
#glamour-discussion might know some better places to look to get an idea of how the parts will look on aura
If you are on pc just use Anamnesis or cmt to preview
Does anyone know if you need to clear the patch msq to access the other content?
For example if I'm only up till 3.3 msq, can I access dun scaith which came out after 3.3?
Hi guys - for role quest on ShB can you only accept one at a time? because i wanted to do dps role quest instead of the healer but Lue-Reeq the guy who suppose to give it to me ain't there in Crystarium

you should be able to do them all at once, maybe you started the dps one? they continue in different places across the zones
This has only ever happened once in ShB with the raids
No, can progress through it in one go
So you're probably fine @azure finch
Lue reeq is mostly in kholusia and rak tika
Check there first
is there an ascian outfit?
ohhh i see - i will try to find him since he aint showing to me
Nope
sweet thank you i will try to find him there.
Well not for you
?
Sweet, ty
anyone have an idea about this?
i believe you have to have all of it from the same region
at least it was the case in ShB
i got the wrong region and had to get a refund
I dont live in NA or EU so i accidentally got an NA version of ShB when i already been using the EU versions prior
ohh i see, you bought it on steam right?
no im off steam
didnt know there are so many 2.5x quests
There's like 800 quests in all
yeah the guy i linked here got it on steam, which is why i thought steam expansion codes were region free
i'm just making sure because it's harder to get a refund for the steam version
i found him in Kholusia with Olvara not sure why he is in Kholusia not in Crystarium
Does square Enix offer refunds at all? Lol
yeah it's really rare lmao
Refunds aren't part of japanese culture. It's more of an American thing
Because you forgot what you did in the last role quest
I bought the se version of ew instead of the steam version, explained myself and got a refund
For a vet, how did you make that mistake?
if it was the other way around, pretty sure it would've been impossible to get a refund lmao
A) who said I was a vet
B) that's a steam issue not an se issue
I'm half way to healer role quest should i finish that one first?
Up to yoi
Lol valve would have said talk to square Enix, then SE would have said talk to steam. And you get stuck in A loop
I would advise doing them all at once so you can better experience the story
You portray yourself as an experienced player, are you not?
they just answer questions for fun
That and I soak up info like a sponge
i also forgot to add the expac myself lol
I can be experienced without being a veteran
I also answer questions for fun
Gone from sprout to ultimate raider in... Lemme think about a year and a half
no mentors online, we're the last defense
Which ultimate raid did you handle first?
Uwu
Afaik there's 3, right?
Yes
Uwu is admittedly the easiest
But it's still a step above savage content
That and I ended up pugging my clear
It's complicated and not for this channel
Goodbye
I already got a prog group so I'm not really interested. Started playing the game last month
Is there a particular order I should go about when starting crafting? Like picking GS first oIs there a particular order I should go about when starting crafting? Like picking GS first or something
not really
all of them you can level pretty solo until like 30
then they start requiring more and more stuff from other crafters
ye
ishgard restoration is pretty great for leveling
but that unlocks after 3.3 msq
oh yeah im still at the start haha, thats HW right?
post HW yes
Is it possible to get 2 Blades of asphedelos per week? or is it always 1 blade + 1 Other piece you roll for
the latter
You technically could have gotten on Monday and one after the reset, so 2 a week
isn't it 2 other pieces you roll for?
there's like 8 pieces to roll for and you can win 1, blade goes to everyone's inventory automatically
yes but i thought you could win 2 other pieces
hey im pretty new to mmo's and im trying to learn a rotation for lvl gnb. Ive got most of it down but whenever i get to a danger zone towards the end of it im always a few seconds off cooldown. Is it because im hitting my dots to quick and should let the animations play out or any other ideas what i could be doing wrong?
*lvl 80 gnb
!action danger zone
it's the DoT that's up every 'minute' right
ah ok so its more than likely skill speed
SkS does decrease that skill's cooldown, so if NM isn't up just hold it until after
ok cool
cheers
didnt realise how hard this shit was to master when i got involved with this game, i played up to stormblood without even looking into rotations lol. Any tips for when boss mechanics interupt your rotation coz i just start hitting whatever then lol
i find gnb pretty simple when you realize you just dump as much as you can in NM
NM?
!action No Mercy
ah kl yeah i got ya so work around no mercy mainly if your rotation coz knoocked out of sync?
at least at lvl 80 gnb stuff thats mostly what i did to make it work
is NM up? press big CD buttons
has it been 30s since NM was used? oh hey theres continuation
but thats oversimplifing things
30s is always your cart combo and Danger Zone
every minute is (at 90) Double Down, Circle AoE DoT, ST DoT
ah ok, well cheers think thatll help, ive stopped progressing through the game until ive got this down coz its started to take enjoyment out of the game struggling in dungeons coz my rotations all over the shop
only at 80 coz aint got endwalker yet so thatll just confuse me lol
tl;dr it's just another 1 minute CD damage button
im using a controller first time playing an mmo as well so probs why im struggling a bit to get used lol
hopefully once i get this one down ill find learning others easier
yeah i just watched a guide and re set up my whole ui to optimise it, things already drastically improving
ye, once it "clicks" its honestly one of the easiest tanks to understand dps wise
you'll get there with good practice
ive heard im just a mmo noob, once my head clicks in properly with this one im sure the rest will be less challenging to pick up
ive heard...im just a mmo noob* lol
cheers :), thanks for the help
unless its dark knight then otherwise i hope your ping is good enough for blood weapon lmao
but thats another thing for another day
How do I get the golden katana in game?
i almost went dk haha. Master gnb first before i look at any alts, started lancer but decided to go back and master gnb first. walk before you run and all that lol
which golden katana, you can dye like every other weapon gold if you want
Question, how/where do I input my security token?
the one time password field when logging into the launcher
Let me look
@green grail this one
that not dyable
that's from unending coil of bahamut ultimate
Can I solo it or no?
ultimate raids are basically the most difficult content in the whole game with a glowy weapon for flexing as rewards
nope
Awww
need 8 competent gamers
Anything close to it?
the regular version maybe
Where do I get it from
!iglam dreadwyrm katana
K
Where to farm it
final coil of bahamut turn 4
Ty
it drops coffers now
Assuming I managed to find someone not scamming, would I be able to buy and use a code for the game from a 3rd party despite no current official sales?
Sorry if this has been asked before but I've gotten conflicting answers from friends
imo just wait until sales are officially returning
Uh where's the deliveries quest again in Sharlayan
