Was expecting 75% bar or something
I forgot, but it's a chain fate, being enemy of my enemy is the 2nd fate chain
at a low level you get less dungeon exp but the same roulette exp
It started from a hunter close to where the fate spawns
If this was during ShB remember you basically get half exp
So we were unlucky?
the enemy upgrade to Enmity
but i havn't even see the mission for the past hour
yes

It's still good, not sure what roulette it was I assume leveling
Yeah it was levelling
check out the notes
is there a way to speed up the credits scroll without skipping it?
levelling roulettes is meant to help fill queues and reward people for doing that by giving them a faster queue and comparable exp to a higher level dungeon
I remember the fate you want should spawn immediately after the first
Well if we got reduced exp with party i would tell them to do levelling roulette solo, but if its just bad luck then should be ok to do it together
FATE: DefenseThe Enmity of My Enemy requires FATE: Slay EnemiesThe Enemy of My Enemy to be successfully completed first. FATE: Slay EnemiesThe Enemy of My Enemy is triggered by talking to Mianne Thousandmalm at Larkscall, East Shroud (x27,y21).
Mianne is the hunter I was talking about
oh god that one, yeah it sucks ass
What do you guys think is more in need in general, healers or tanks?
in roulette or?
that thing hasn't spawn at all
all role are needed, but tank/healer usually dominates the role in need except for alliance raid roulette
Roulette, or for end game raids, etc
no matter if the enemy or Enmity
It spawns
right after you finishes the first one
I did zodiac 3 times and It always the case
getting zodiac up to tier 6 is going to be a nightmare
where is the option to make your own debuffs on the boss bigger
in your HuD layout
i mean just your own debuff
target info
element size
oh your debuffs
should be on self status or something like that
oh
so I can't help, but yeah in one of the category
and click the cogwheel
same thing
i was misunderstanding him
It depends on the party
all class and role are needed
just specfically the debuff you apply to the boss? doesnt exist. it will show thats it up and has a green # but yeah you cant make specfically your own bigger then others
but 1 raid usually consist of 2 tanks, 2 healers, 1 melee, 1 ranged, 1 magic DPS and the last DPS can be one of the three
yeah ive seen people who stream have it maybe its a plugin
probably, i havent seen something like that in my HuD settings
yeah
I already posted the screenshot, then you ask for your own debuff
oh I get it, you mean to just show your own debuff?
no
your own debuff is always the first one shown in the debuff list
i know but i want to make it bigger
determination or skillspeed for bard?
You only ever want skill/spell speed to a specific gcd
like this
hmm?
whats a server reset?
Every friday nice
you mean weekly reset?
!reset
7 hours, 38 minutes, 28 seconds
13 hours, 38 minutes, 28 seconds
5 days, 38 minutes, 28 seconds
1 day, 38 minutes, 28 seconds
2 days, 19 hours, 38 minutes, 28 seconds
2 days, 13 hours, 38 minutes, 28 seconds
2 days, 6 hours, 38 minutes, 28 seconds
ty!
ohh
every saturday for me
Does the physical copy of ffxiv bypasses the suspension still?
the golden saucer stuff like fashion reports are weekly right
yeah, but you can only hand in fashion report on Sat
since that's when they start scoring
but for the reset, yeah it sync'd with the weekly
I think on endgame, most of the time we need people who know how to play their class properly
Any class is fine, just know how to do rotation, we dont really need perfect rotation just make sure you know how to execute it and you will get it optimized eventually
If you want do roulette, most adventurer in need in elemental server is tanker, sometimes turns into healer
Alliance raid, trial, and normal usually turns into dps once a while but most of the time its tanker or healer
Wtf no. Weekly reset is on Tuesday morning gmt.
Saturday is the jumbo cactpot reset no?
oh my bad, i was looking at jump cactpot
Tuesday for everything else
yeah
Yeah
so does fashion report take what you're actually wearing, or glamor plates?
you can glamour the piece
also is it expensive to start chocobo racing
can dead players move?!
yeah sometimes if you/server lagged
ah ok yeah i was very confused
Corpse sliding has been known to happen
I assume not, but can Alexander savages be soloed with current stats?
Corpse sliding is hilarious af
Still remember i missed a mechanic in e8s because of it
Depends on the fight
Some savages outright have mechanics that need multiple people
A4s comes to mind
I see
if it was a full team of level 90s it would be relatively simple to do each fight, yes?
Piss easy
figured, thank you
To add more info, with higher level and better gear, you blast through the fight much faster
But there are still some mechanics you need to keep an eye out for because they can still hurt a lot
To conclude, The fight is faster to finish, but some mechanics you still need to respect
Appreciate the info, thank you
I guess as a follow-up: I only really want to run it for mounts from 4, 8 and 12. Are there any other special items that drop from earlier fights that I should know about?
I don't think so, no
alrighty
Any idea when the world transfers will be back up?
Unless you want some of those gears for glamour

wait
..
where's the-
does anyone have the we just don't know emote because the balance is trolling me
The best guess is it might be addressed by Yoshi-P on the upcoming live letter
Does the physical copy of ffxiv bypasses the suspension still?
upcoming
👀
It does
when PLL
I'm told that it is this week or next, but I can't find out where
👀
So does haima/panhaima insta apply a barrier as soon as one breaks or will multihit/constant damage do a lil extra damage before another barrier is applied?
if it applied as soon as it broke, there would be no point in complicating the tooltip so
it requires different instances of damage
otherwise they would just multiply it by 5 and list that number
!action haima
Erects a magicked barrier around self or target party member that absorbs damage equivalent to a heal of 300 potency.
Additional Effect: Grants 5 stacks of Haimatinon
Duration: 15s
When the barrier is completely absorbed, a stack of Haimatinon is consumed and a new barrier is applied.
When the effect duration expires, a healing effect is then applied.
Cure Potency: 150 per remaining stack of Haimatinon
what level do we unlock GCs
With msq
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
Whats better for DPS, penta-melded crafted gear or unaugmented Savage necklace?
For DNC
!faq statmeme
Pentameld crafted gear is good on the first week, and kinda okay for 2-3 more weeks because it is the most accessible gear
which is the least populated server on aether
Any but Gilgamesh if you want decent queues
maybe a #archived-lore-spoilers post but
||do the world leaders have any additional dialogue after finishing the role quests? can't find them in the overworld||
You don’t really get to talk to any of them unless it’s part of a quest
Nothing so far
how long was the last suspension
Only for like a month at most, but for an entirely different reason
please guys i just wanna play ffxiv
We can't change anything
can i buy the physical copy, does that still work?
Yes
They said they'll have news next week
No reputable seller should be selling physical ones atm
^
why do people only farm zadnor z3
Mettle, if I had to assume
But if you get an unopened one, u can try it
It's just dangerous due to scalpers and resellers
Or relic step
Anywhere you can buy one is suspect but on paper yes
what happens to people's FC house rooms if they're kicked from the FC?
all official resellers stopped sale, or their stock is likely gone by now, so any you find would be very suspicious
be wary of getting scammed
is there a way to do quick chat phrases on playstation?
because it's got the most fates and gives slighlty more exp
save it on macro beforehand
then put macro on crossbar
that way you can also make sure it's sent to the party, not anywhere else
oh ty
You lose the room and the gil will not be refunded. Any items inside can be reclaimed from a special npc for a certain time
is it possible to farm for the HW extreme mounts solo at around lvl 83 as a DRK?
have they not made it harder to farm old content solo after the release of endwalker?
ok, then i'll give it a go. thank you!

Isn't shiva ex an arr fight
Some HW ones got a bit dicey/took really long back at 80 cap
Where can I exchange discontinued Yellow Scrips for Crafters/gatherers?
yes, id recommend atleast 2 people at 80 for hw ones
mhor dona i believe
Looks like I have to look better at the 3 NPC's there
I think it's the leftmost one?
yes, i was just setting the same logic in terms of level scaling
Which world in the Mana data center might have the biggest english-speaking population?
Starting to feel out of place as a SEA who doesn't speak Japanese hahahaa
Bismarck exe at 80 solo was an absolute pain
Uhh idk if they're on mana but the English hubs are tonberry and kujata
Ack they're both in Elemental :(
I would say maybe wait for the oceania data center
But that's completely up in the air atm
Ye retainers can only ever level up as much as your own jobs
dam
Incentive to level alt jobs
can somebody queue me into p4s if i havent cleared p3s?
You unlock all savages in a tier at the same time, so yea, you can just enter p4s if you want but you'll forgo p3s rewards (and p2, p1 if you didn't do those)
Unless your retainer is the same job as your PC
There's even nothing to stop you from creating multiple retainers as the same job as u, except needing to stock up on the same job gear again and again
I don't believe this is the case for CURRENT tier
I don't think so
To unlock the Thavnairian Ribbon at Radz-at-Han, means completing all Endwalker shared FATEs (around ~400 FATEs for all Rank 3)?
is there any point in leveling up trust avatars
That's okay. I finished MSQ on my third alt and am gonna help a group prog on p4s, I just wanted to know if I have to clear p1s-p3s first as to not make them do those with me beforehand lol
A title and the ability to switch between glams
Trusted Friend for 80 and Of the Seventh Dawn for 90
Like their HW designs and their Ilsabard Outfits
OK I've tried changing the colour of my chocobo 2 times now to get soot black, I followed a guide step by step but it came out midnight blue then chestnut brown what the hell is it all rng?
yeah, it's rng, beside following the website nothing you can do really
just keep doing it till you got soot black
The best way to farm materia are hunt trains right?
Bc my friend crafted me the 580 stuff but I don't have that much materia
To penta meld it
Can someone help me w about 6 glamour prisms? I’m on trial

Buy them from your gc
https://i.imgur.com/plKeNfh.jpeg how do i get this boss to land? i've been killing his minions for like 10 minutes now (unsynced in case its relevant)
get hit
by the aoe
iirc then it comes down and try to eat you
ok got 3 minions hitting me constantly now, still nothing happens
ah nvm, there it is
thanks
arr design is fun 🙂
is there a movement speed potion ? to finish hw dungeons unsync fast
so im doing a level 71 dungeon as a level 72 conjurer, and no mobs are giving experience aside from Bosses, is that a new change or am i doign something wrong
sprint
Really ;/
New change, you get the same xp relatively but only from bosses
Nope. All u can do is sprint or use Peloton (rDPS classes)
Thanks.
ahh ok thanmk you
or scholar now 
It lasts 20s and has a 120s CD
And u're probably a faster clearer as a ranged class anyways
how do i unlock new rewards for wondrous tails?
it doesn't give me the option to get tomes
hit level 90 and the book should get the level 90 tomestones
might need to complete endwalker leveling story
Don't think it does it retroactively
sigh xD
so just wait for now?
guess ill turn it in and see if the next book is upgraded
how do I equip my retainer
you mean how do you gear them up?
i dont have an option to give my retainer a class or anything
View retainer gear when talking to them
i guess i didnt unlock that part yet?
you need to summon them by the bell and then assign a job for them first then you can edit gear
For some reason i dont have that option
only give/take gil items, and sell stuff
and look at sales history
hmm you need to do a quest
How to find a good profitable meals to craft? What to look out for and etc
I don't really remember but each major city has a dude with blue quest that unlocks retainer ventures, jobs and gear
I did the one in Limsa but doesn't matter which one you do
question what are the most ping friendly jobs?
I dont know much about profitable meal but lot of my friend crafted pumpkin potage
if i change a retainer class job, they will restart at lvl 1?
Perhaps its the most profitable food for now?
pld, war, maybe drk, drg, whm, rdm, (blm?)
okay now I got a question myself, so I'm doing the "To Thaw a Frozen Heart" and Marcelloix told me I could either buy or craft cream yellow dye, but cream yellow dye isn't on the crafting list and no site cites a recipe. I take it that is either a mistranslation or the dye was intended to be craftable.
Yeah I just bought it. The merchant in the Firmament sells it
I know
I couldn't find the recipe
seems to me the dye was either used to be craftable at some point or was intended but eventually dropped for economy reasons

the glasses
How much?
is it possible to get venture coins without a GC
hi, i have a free trial account from a year ago and am currently a bit confused about whether if i buy an endwalker license i'll be able to get into the game, given the limits on new accounts?
yes, you can get them from levequests as well.
you need to buy starter edition first, and those are not on sale
endwalker is dlc for the base game, cant use dlc for a game you don't own
is it a random reward
that's what i suspected but couldn't quite work it out for sure. thanks!
kinda, but you can see what you're getting b4 accepting the quest.
not sure why you wouldn't just spend the 200 gc seals instead tho
oh ill do it through GC once i unlock it
100k mgp
Are those the only glasses?
there are other glasses that you directly glamour onto your headpiece
iirc the MGP ones are 100k?
there's multiple glasses as head items, but the fashion accessory one you can enable "on top" of any other hear gear
yes, level boosts are separate items
not sure, there's a list of things it unlocks https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/tales_of_adventure/#mainquest
yeah just need to wait when the sale is open again and buy the complete edition if you are on free trial
that's only you can answer, do you want to play the story again from the beginning?
up to you, your money and your alt
you can get through the story relatively quick if you skip cutscenes.
the MSQ itself gives decent exp and free fantasia
but if it isn't worthed, then just buy the skip
imo, get a job skip instead, just unsync dungeons
all msq speedrun is like 72h
that's w/o job skip tho, right?
that also include breaks btw
no skip just play the game
the total game time was like 56 hours
was answering vanessa... 😕
if they bought a job skip that would cut like at least 20hrs of dungeons.
- the aether current changes make it ridiculously easy to get flying
idk thats a different category or something
theres probably like 2 people who speedrun the game anyway lol
for speedrunning ofc, ye, but in the question of answering the initial question of "worth" for the story skip, the job skip would probably be preferrable.
also ofc the fact that you lose out on the free fantasia if you skip b4 beating ultima
yeah probably ig
What's the difference between Ultimate and Savage and what does MC stand for?
ultimate fight duration is double the savage
midcore, so, less than hardcore
ultimate is higher difficulty and permanently sync'd
and yeah midcore just determine how much time you want to put in
afaik midcore is 3-4 days
wait will the new ultimate coming be synced to 80 or 90 
90
where can i find marker macros for encounters?
ah
when they share theirs, you save the waymarks to your loadout
is there a way to hide these things?
Yes there is, i'll find where it is for you
^
tnx
By duration you mean the health? Does it also hit harder?
I see, does that translates into mechanics where the boss is invuln, or just more health?
more health, more mechanics, more phases, just one huge complex fight
It's a gauntlet
Ok, is it five bosses in one fight or did you mean phases?
each boss is basically a phase of their own
Multiple bosses in one fight
Ah cool
0 checkpoint
It's a long gauntlet
Is is the top tier gear locked there, or is it mounts and other stuff?
vanity weapons and title
Well, they're technically BiS weapons, but practically just for the looks
The weapon is a tint bit better than its savage countpart
Cause +1 materia slot
But essentially glamour
To use Ultimate Coil as an example:
Phase 1: Twintania
Phase 2: Nael van Darnus
Phase 3: Bahamut Prime
Phase 4: Twintania + Nael van Darnus
Phase 5: Golden Bahamut
and Phase 3 Bahamut itself has tons of mini-phases
And there's barely any breaks
Outside of like a few seconds for the final phase transitions

The closest WoW comes is the Mythic-only phases of the last boss of each raid tier. And even that's more analogous to the Savage-only phase for the 4th boss of each normal raid tier.
But this is a JRPG, so the "this isn't even my final form" meme applies.
hehe
Kefka
For the Rowena cup, I signed up for it but how do I actually get points, the lady next it doesn’t really help
Triple triad btw
use the duty finder to queue into the battlehall, which is in the last category of duties
there you can either choose to duel NPCs or other players for points
two of the NPCs (Lyra and the NPC directly across them) are pretty easy to do for points, but you basically need to win all 20 matches for a chance of being on the leaderboard
Oh, I’ve been there before to get the cards from those npc
player games give more points and don't punish you as much for draws/losses, and are mandatory if you want to ensure a top position.
I do need to rank high for that tidus card
If you're doing it for the TT mount, you don't need the tournament-exclusive cards.
Well I want all the cards the mount is a plus
Triple triad was my favorite part of 8
Do you know if it has to be 20 different players or can it be the same one 20 times
I've only ever done tournaments against NPCs
IIRC, it puts you into a queue of sorts to discourage easy win trading
but might still be doable by queueing at quiet times of day (middle of the night) with only a foreign language enabled
like german/french/jp
queue has anti.-cheese, so you can't fight the same person twice in a row - gotta have like 30m between
same as verminion tournaments
:o
Will there be pvp sets for Endwalker and if so when do they usually come out?
unknown for sure, but SHB got their PVP set in patch 5.1
so 6.1 might release a set
6.1 should also bring the new pvp mode so some rewards alongside that seem likely
perhaps w/ the release of the new pvp mode, I wouldn't bet on it tho
yeah we simply don't know for sure
The idea did pop in my mind but thank you all
because they might favour putting new stuff in the battle pass instead
6.1 is also overhauling how they do seasonal rewards to work kinda like a seasonal/battlepass
so nothing is truly missable
hopefully they bring back the old stuff even if it upsets the few top 100 players
they did explicitly state as such, i think
What’s the current endgame SGE BiS meal?
oh is there any more info on this battlepass? First im hearing of it
bit hard to search through the live letter channel
iirc we don't know anything 'bout the BP yet
And SAM’s
depends on the set but the default seems to be
SGE - Thavnairan Chai
SAM - Pumpkin Ratatouille
SGE also likes the Pumpkin Potage for non-SpS builds
link to the start of the entire PVP section that has all that we know, basically.
thank you!
that live letter didn't have translation done by us since SE did it on their end
so for the full context/info, you'll need to watch live letter 67
(warning: lots of story spoilers near the start)

I think I found the skysteel tool quest line, any point in those besides glam anymore?
nope, they're just glam.
however, especially the gatherer ones have become way easier than they were before, so if you wanna just pass time they're a good timespender
Good to know, thanks. Still a while away before I run out of things to do in this game, so I'll pass for now
For those who knows what it is, is there anything similar to the sophist's robe? I wanna wear it without potentially spoiling people
Referring to the MSQ 86+ item
Based on garland tool database there is currently no gear that shared sophist robe model
Oop
i dont have much materia X
if im going to pentameld, how should it look like?
X X VIII VII VII?
i have lot of IX tho
Ideally 3 10s and 2 9s
hm... i can risk too much on 10s
i just dont have much 10s
how about 2 10s 1 9s 2 8s?
You can't do 2 8s
8s are the same as 10s, in that they can only be overmelded once
i guess 2 10s 1 8s and 2 7s then
sounds bad but i dont have much choice
34k for each 10s materia doesnt sound healthy for my casual wallet lol
join hunt trains, you get like 20 tokens in an hour
I mean we are getting to the point where if you’re gonna penta now you might as well just do weapon or something
I would assume because of the mask nothing matches
Hello! If you enter and prog (but not clear) a higher raid floor such as P2S, do you automatically lose out on the loot from P1S?
yes
I see, thanks!
normal modes, yes
ta
normal mode yes, tho you might still be on the floor once or twice a fight while you learn the mechanics.

where is the beast mole people located?
the what?
that beast tribe, they have hunched backs
the kobolds?
i think
True
how can i farm this
wait where do you ask that? i want to know to
Unrestricted Party: Check
The Howling Eye (Extreme)
do raids (normal or savaage) or extremes
any ex or savage content ?
mhm
even normal count ?
yes

Ultima's Bane probably cuz no invuln mechanics.
garuda has a short invuln during phasechange, so probs 2nd
garuda ex is usually pretty quick solo, but you can double dip on both tank achievements if you do like lakshmi or one of the omegas
thanks
thanks!
Which of the 3 lvl 90 dungeons is most used/faster to farm for endgame tomestones?
they're all fairly quick but smileton is a smidge faster than the others
Is there a macro translator tool?
Thanks!
Yeah, already did it, waiting for it to reset too
is there a what???, elaborate pls
A tool to help create macro
Like a series of actions when crafting
so what gear should i get for gatherers lvl 90
because people don't queue for extreme trials thru duty finder
because its old endgame content that no one runs synced especially through DF
either solo it unsync or make a party finder for it
What lvl?
do u want to run it sync or unsync
Extremes are not really done in Duty Finder, so yea, you'll either have to find a group in PF, or wait until you are higher level and solo unsync it
or wait in queue for a long time
I can help if you’re in elemental
ew
assuming role is correct, they are not
just find one other person to do it w u and you will be fine
also can someone pls answer my question
elemental is server?
elemental is datacenter
^
If you care about it a lot and wanna craft good stuff whatever the pentameld set is currently. If not use script gear same applies for gatherers
your role is set to light DC, so assuming taht is correct, you can get someone in Light to help you
does it make a big difference for gatherers
I definitely need help on this question tbh, how far do I actually gotta be within the Shadowbringers Expansion to reach this vendor?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Aymark
i would personally recommend getting the HQ crafted gear
because the scrip gear currently isn't universal
I haven’t been too bothered to really check the difference. Seeing as how we don’t need HQ anymore you’re fine with either option. Pentameld more than likely is better for quantity
and its going to take up more inventory space
Wait, what exactly do you mean by "base ShB story"? I'm... more confused than ever.
so even if you're not super serious about end-game crafting/gathering, crafted gear just keeps your inventory a little more neat
complete the main scenario quest "Shadowbringers"
We don’t need HQ equipments?
concept is the same for both gatherers and crafters yes, in regards to gear
scrip gear is never going to be that great, but its ok if you're not super serious about end-game
it covers you fine
We don’t get hq base mats anymore so there’s less strain on us to pentameld
but if you are serious about end-game, you should be in HQ crafted gear
even lightly melded crafted gear is going to be better than scrip
What’s the ilvl of the gear you get from Unsung gear of Asphodelps, and where do you get it?
580, and labyrinthos or radz-at-han
Thanks!
more of a logic / data question,
I'm planning on logging my treasure map runs,
but I'm stumped on how I'd efficiently store the data for the roulette type of treasure maps (shifting altars, shifting oublettes),
as they have variable starting points & the board changing each spin.
Do I just store the initial board setup & note the changes?
You're guaranteed the first spin won't boot you
After that I think it depends on what you get, like most people I generally just enjoy the randomness
Hi :D
I'm new, only been playing for a few weeks, and I've seen people talk about statics from time to time, but I don't know what they are. Are they endgame things or just lingo for something that I should know about?
A raid group
High end raids are 8 man
We don't have Raiding guilds like wow because we don't need 20 people to do them
Pretty much purely an endgame thing
excuse me but the Quest "An Unexpected Symphony" actually wants you to play the piano?
...is it hard?
Ah, gotcha. And yeah, I've done a few 8-players things, like, the very first raid and a few trials. Pretty nice
99% of the actually difficult content is 8 man
There's a 56 man and a 48 man special raid but that's all optional stuff, does give cool mounts tho
the first two 8 man group content, Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium, are not raids, they are just 8 man dungeons, the only of their kind
unless you mean something else
if you can find a group for it.
I mean the first 3 parts of the Binding Coil
fair enough
Been looking for players to do the final 2 parts for over 3 days now, but nothing lol
Coil is technically high end, and you won't find groups to actually finish the entire raid series on duty finder. Most people advise coming back later and unsync ing it or getting a friend to carry you unsynced
Just Unsync it later
Back in arr they didn't distinguish between normal and high end 8 man raids
Oh yeah there’s 13 coils in total
Now I'm just waiting for someone to do Battle in the Big Keep lol
- the savage versions of second coil
Eh, I'd rather wait a few days to find a party. It's more fun that way
^ the fights are actually fun as heck
I mean, I can't change anything about the rolls,
I just wanna feel better about it by knowing how shit my luck actually is xD
- the slight brain activity of actually making smth w/ the data
If I don't find anyone I can just ask a bunch of friends this weekend. I know 10 or so people who convinced me to try the game out, we can play together on a random afternoon
is "Foot Graze" and "Leg Graze" any useful?
not really
have some sort of niche uses in places like palace of the dead/heaven on high
when you need to kite but outside of that, you're generally not going to make much use of them
and in some relic content as well
yeah it definitely seemed very niche. thx ill probably just unslot them lol
Is their a way to make flight height independet from my cam angle ? I usually have a near top-down look on my character and no matter if Standard, Legacy or Legacy without the auto-dive setting, you will loose height if you try to fly while looking from the top.
anyone know if home world transfers are coming back anytime soon? been like a month already
We don't know. SE hasn't said anything new on it.
What’s the best way to farm Crystals?
when starting flight you're usually level, at least on standard, just pressing W/S will not change your angle,
so you shouldn't rise/sink w/o pressing space/ctrl+space.
on controller however I think it always puts your angle w/ the camera so SoL there.
@cosmic pilotthe ones for crafting?
Yup
What’s the required level for Crystal?
like 36 i think
Ah thanks!
the low level dye spots have crystals, level 30 requirements to see them.
Thanks!
miner retainer brings back 100, botanist brings back 80
What’s a good way to get Unidentifiable items, again? Need 10 of each for Anima
and you'll usually get 100 just from one node using The Giving Land.
retainers are far more inefficient than gathering yourself
Aside from tomestones, saving those up for Umbrite step
Beast tribes
retainers don't take any time tho
@open rivet true, when I do not touch my mouse at all while im in the air it works like a charm, but i would like to be able to adjust my cam.
edit: Ofc also only when im in standard

Can’t you also get two kinds from maps? How hard are they to farm?
do you use left or right mouse to adjust the camera?
left click shouldn't mess w/ your angle
otherwise idk what you could do.
maybe consider opening a suggestion on the forums or sending a ticket
I think it’s highe cause I can’t find it yet
@cosmic pilot26-30
Ohh true, leftclick does work. Im new to MMO's in general and booth cam options are a bit wierd. On the ground leftclick is just useless as I can allways just use rightclick well i probably have to figure something out or get used to a angle from behind. - thanks
On another note. Is there an option to turn the cam in legacy mode with A and D like in standard ?
If you're on Gilgamesh, I'm available to carry you through it.
I just finished it! And I'd rather go synced for stuff, it's more fun that way :D
Thanks for the offer though
No problem!
You can probably change the camera key bindings to do that
The second Gilgamesh fight is the best I've done so far! Everyone keeps telling me things get a lot better from Heavensward, so I'm really excited for it! For now there's still a lot of stuff I'd like to do, like PotD. It's pretty fun so far, got to floor 40 and it's a great way to pass the time
Oh, I meant the Binding Coil raids. Gilgamesh is a server on Aether.
Aaah, gotcha. Same thing applies, though
there are also more than one gilgamesh fight in the game
Battle on the Big Bridge & Battle in the Big Keep
wherever your steam library is: /steamapps/common/final fantasy xiv/
Ah, by the way, is there a way to automatically rearrange my inventory?
where is my steam library x-x
Like a "sort" button
appdata?
that's a "you should know that because you literally choose this yourself on every install"
it could be anywhere
by default?
It's where you installed Steam. Usually it's one of the Program Files folders, if you're on Windows
right click any item -> sort
Then you go to Steam --> Steamapps --> Common
And there you have a list of folders, one for each game installed from your library
Well, apparently I'm blind lol
Is there a way to have automatic sorting every time something gets added to my inventory?
Yeah, that sounds convenient enough

does the steam ffxiv launcher work if i try to launch ffxiv from a steam account that doesnt have ffxiv
it doesn't even check if steam is running iirc
it just cares that the account that logs into the client has a steam licence
so theoretically if i drag and drop the Final Fantasy 14 folder on steamapps
i should be able to launch the launcher
right
without needing to download it directly from steam
ye, that works
ok cool
bu
t
do I have to drag and drop the entire file
or can i drag and drop another file that sets up those files
is this an okay place to ask about an OST I can't find?
what song you looking for?
i dont think zipping should take 18 minutes
ah, is there a spoiler chat
you're trying to zip 50-70 gigs, 18 minutes is fast for that size & amount of files
no, i didnt download the game
just the launcher
which is roughly 150 mb
18 minutes is not normal for 150mb
tf are you even trying to do 👀
don't remember them mentioning it last year
long story short, i first bought ffxiv from steam
for 10$
and then i realized i can buy it with all the dlcs for 23$ from sqenix
on discount
so i never played on that account
and bought it 23$
and then i had that one account extra
and i have some friends who wanted to play but cant due to the game not being on sale
so i was like
why not gift them that
yk
issue is, the steam FF14 acc is tied to your steam acc, which is really messy if you/they want to upgrade later on
and the sub
and also the trading/selling acc is prohibited, the code is fine
cant you literally do it with other payment methods
im not trading or selling it
im giving it to someone else just because i cant even use that account
at all
seems no, steam acc using the same steam payment method so it'll go thru your steam acc to buy/sub/resub
That’s account sharing
^
Which also isn’t okay
im not sharing tho im literally giving the account
.-.
and even if
that account is better off being banned rather than being forever dead

forever dead is better than being banned tho
looking for an Endwalker OST
spoilers, don't click black bar
||the theme that plays after Amon-Fandaniel is defeated in the aetherial sea, before Imagination||
im never gonna use it tho so might as well let someone else enjoy it
and i dont think anyone will care
ive never went on that account
Just to be clear, you're talking about the Steam account? Or the FF14 account?
you mean, the whole steam acc, or just the steam FF14 acc?
because if you giving up the whole steam acc so it's your discretion and it's way easier than just the FF14
is there an eu fates discord for the special fates?
due to how notorious the billing process/buying process and whatnot back and forth steam-SE/mogstation/whatever
As for monk, what should i spend my asto tombs on?(590 gear) I can get double access or a chest piece or something?(full epnta melded currently)
recommend check the balance tho
I have, the bis there only goes to 580 pre raid gear currently
Unless im looking in the wrong place
i cant give up the steam acc i have stuff in there
.-.
yeahhhh which is why sharing acc for just FF14 is a bad idea
Giving your FF14 account away is still against TOS. I'm pretty sure what you're trying to do won't work anyway with how finicky Steam is when it comes to FF14 licensing.
try faloop or centurio hunts
they have EU channels
You are, the first link is pre-savage BiS, there are more below

isn't that the "wrong region" error?
google is your friend
i2501 unfortunately is a stupidly broad error
lots of things can potentially trigger it
contact customer support
some suggestions to work around it are: try a different browser, try using mobile data, turn off vpn if you're using one
if none of those work, support is the last choice
the likelihood that someone else here, is looking at the channel, and also trying to create an account at the same time, and having the same issue
is probably approaching zero
Are abilities OGCD as standard nomenclature??
Yes
and weaponskills/spells are not?
Weaponskills and Spells are GCDs
there's a xkcd for that.

thx
Tried checking the balance as well for monk post 580, to see waht 590 pieces i could get that'd be the biggest over penta melded, isn't showing any, lists go from 580 penta, to 600 savage gear
There is a gear checker, but it's google spreadsheet and tbh idk how to use that, plus it looks like yiou'd b e simming each piece individually vs the other set over and over, which is fine, if i knew how to do it lol
It looks like you make a copy and open it, go to Set Builder sheet, select your job on the right, set your current gear and melds from the dropdowns on the top table. Copy and paste values to the bottom table. Then upgrade a piece on one of them, such as the bottom, to see the comparison. Undo it, try a difference piece, repeat.
Hey fellaws, I've got one question about something weird i found on a map !
I found this shiny blue orb levitating. Do you you know what is it about ? 🙂
oh that looks like a sage visual glitch
How do you select a specific class and see their rankings in let’s say P2s on fflogs?
Hum.. even after teleporting it was still there
it's just a visual bug
Go to all stars for that topic of fight.
Ie, current tier/ultimates/extremes. You can click view more and see the rankings that way
ok 🙂
Alright
You can also search your world. Should be the first option and that’ll filter rankings by your world if you’re interested in local rankings
Is there any way I can start a dungeon by myself? since i’ve been here for 10 min waiting for a team but im alone
Not unless you can solo it
Enable Unrestricted Party in the duty finder settings, but if you're doing it at your level, you will have a hard time going alone.
dps queues are long, just be patient.
you will not be able to solo dungeons at level.
It’s the first dungeon im going in ever so I don’t really know what to do
then just Wait.
Yup, that one
keep in mind theres 2 more right after it
so time to go out and explore the world
level some crafters
Yup guess so
I kind of want to buy the 580 armor at the market,should I buy it now?Or should I wait for it to get cheaper
That's entirely up to you and whether or not it's worth it to you
^
is there currently really no way to purchase the full version of the game?
unless you can get a physical edition like PS/Xbox, no
yes, sales for starter and complete edition are currently suspended. we should be getting news in the coming weeks about if/when they will resume
hope that the servers can handle the potential calamity
ok, pretty much played the whole story of trial version and im just waiting to buy the full game 😦
!faq contentunlock
does machinist have good endgame dps?
anything in arr and hw you can do with the trial.
yes, however, the enemy is not the one on the field but le ping
!faq metameme
All jobs are good at endgame
can you read the English then
there is 2 situations:
your internet is pog = yes
your internet is potato = no
like if you get everything perfectly, im sure there are classes that do more dps than others
^
Rn mch is on the low end of DPS
crai in DNC
but you can do a lot of DPS anyway
yeah, i mean not much content is gated behind dps checks
yeah it's still about how you play it
Don't worry about DPS if you're not doing like week 1 savage or something
high end content is.
yes that's why i said not much. some is
the DPS check even in high end isn't too hard as far as everyone contribute
as long as everyone does mechanics properly, it's ok
That's not enough, no. You need to also Push your Buttons and push them in the correct order.
i believe that was also implied...
just
Jocat Crap Guide to FF14: DPS
it's deceptively helpful while still give you a tons of room to play around
im sure the game is also balanced so that any class can do any content if you play well enough
Hullo, is there an Iron Frog minion or only mount?
yes from the same source
There is
12 items for mount 6 for minion
Ah okay and how do I get those?
super boss fate in kholusia, spawns under certain conditions with a cooldown of about 72 hours
use hunt discords or linkshells to get notifications about them
Thank you
Will I get shadowbringers if I buy Endwalker on Steam? The link to shadowbringers is taking me to the Endwalker Page

Does Castrum Meridianum give more exp than the Leveling Roulette?
that's a question without answer
leveling roulette bonus exp varies based on your level
can someone help me with a bug i have? my sound cuts out, sometimes my interface is messed up and then my character gets stuck in place for like 30 seconds and then it goes back to normal, really random
the last thing sounds like lag tbh
before i reinstalled 0S i never used to have this issue, same network
if you recently reinstalled your OS make sure your drivers are up to date
sounds like driver issues
those get reset as well after a reinstall
ok, ill try updating net, audio
Check for optional OS updates too (dunno if that's a thing apart from windows)
only optional updates were bluetooth drivers
my audio driver was out of date by like 3 years
and theres a new one for net
for my mb
it seems like im the only who has this bug
check gpu drivers too
just updated them
Audio cutting out has been an issue for a lot of people since EW launched, although I haven't heard much complaining about it the last few weeks
How do I activate sword oath in PVP? I'm doing my royal authority combo but not getting sword oath.
Oh wait, I just found it lol. My charge gives me stacks
Hello.
Question regarding gear storage in the glamour dresser.
Is it worth storing crafted gear there when your a crafter and not using them?
If you have glamour prisms to spare, sure
whats the point of fire starter? chance getting insta F3 after F1 after reaching level 60 and Fire IV?
Im out of space in the dresser.
Firestarter is great for moving and weaving for blm
it's a primarily a movement tool
And giving you extra wiggle room in astral fire
however pre lvl 90 it's also neat to use instead of the f1 to prolong your fire phase
but i looked at guide, and only time i cast F1 is to prolong astral fire after three free F IV to go for mana cost F4
at lvl 90 you want to press f1 cause paradox
aaah, i didnt reach that yet
Unlike WHM with Cure 1, Fire 1 is still an important part of the BLM rotation.
You'll sharpcast it now and then
from guide i read/saw, it is only to prolong astral fire
is there a forum thread or reddit i can read about it?
Again if it procs it's free movement and weaving and additional wiggle room if needed
You can force the proc with sharpcast
aaah, i use sharpcast mostly for lighning
With smart sharpcast and proc management, you can have 14 gcds of instant cast spells in a row
I don't know. I just remember a lot of people asking about their audio issues here the first few weeks of EW.
since more people are active atm,
anyone got ideas on this? currently my idea is to just store it all & reference last board state
If I buy a starter edition key from a site it’s gonna be exactly like buying one from the ps store or official site right?
w/ the chance of it already being used and/or stolen.
I'd avoid grey markets
if it is a stolen key then your account may be suspended without warning
this is weird... i alt tabbed and it crashed my game, and now when i start it up - it shows fatal error directX (11000002)
Good luck finding one
anyone know if world transfers disabled until further notice or is it just a temporary thing?
I did
do I just do PotD till 61, then HoH?
sounds like hell but you can do that yes
Question around retainers.
If I cancel my companion app subscription.
But then buy an additional retainer. Does it take over the one from companion app? Or does it give me an entirely new one?
how else would you level a dps?
dungeons
after getting all White Scrip master recipes what should I spend white scrips on?
20 min queues?
Materia?
squadron are dumb as hell lol. it's torture taking them in there
Does anyone know the best materia for a pentameld for the DrK classical weapon?
yeah... its definitely less grindy
It's temporary, but until further notice. We don't know when it will return.
ok thanks
Is there a limit to new squadron recruits that are waiting? I stopped checking the new enlistments last week and haven't had a single recruit since then, even with the buff on.
Rng
If I cancel my companion app subscription.
But then buy an additional retainer. Does it take over the one from companion app? Or does it give me an entirely new one?
Anyone know
is there any kupo command for game time purchase as a first timer
or it's so simple that it doesnt need one
!faq subprice
i mean the way to add game time
Go on mogstation
because if im correct, the only way to buy it via the official platform is another website?
Buy time
bard AoE this expac is 3+ targets right?
!faq mogstation
It’s been 3+ targets since release, hasn’t it?
bard has always been 3+
this button ask for a game code that i have to purchase elsewhere isnt it?
kk
just because mch was 2+ doesn't mean bard works the same
I think there’s only one or two outliers where it’s 2+ or 4+
yeah thats why i was asking
You don’t have to do that option tho, but yes time cards are bought elsewhere
but how do i actually straightforward just pay for the time?
i dont really see the option there
i remember there's one subpage that have subscription model based
cant seem to find back that page
Is there not something Mentioning credit/debit or crysta
you don't see this option?
since se is banning accounts with falsified information now, does that mean that me, a filipino player, who used a fake us address, will also bid my account goodbye?
is reaper's weapon always be blacksmith to craft?
nah, class weapons are split
some are goldsmith, some are carpenter, some are alchemist...
no, not all weapons are bsm. Though reaper will stay bsm, or whatever it is currently.

you should level all dohs anyways.
Do i need to do other beast tribe quest to start the namazu one?
oke
okie, thanks
