oh interesting. And skills just level up with character?
Your character don't have any sort of stat growth
Say you play a Mage for a long time
You can just swap over to a tank
Without worrying about any stat penalty
So every character is basically the same if they have the same armour and class level?
Your character gain level, which allows you to equip better gear, which then grants you stats
Yes
Yes
so different to so many other mmos
puts more emphasis on individual player skill
Theres job variety with all jobs on one character instead of character customization in how you level
Please take note that jobs don't have specs
For example, you cannot make ninja into an evade tank
Jobs has predetermined skills and you shouldn't be playing it differently from other players
Player self expression in XIV are done with your fashion and glamour, not with how you play a Job
how do i get 200 GC seals to get my first chocobo?
do the next msq
Do the next quest
it will reward 300 seals
oh ok
Since we are at this, while there are difference in each of the jobs in terms of Dps, all of them are viable to play at all sort of contents and the devs are constantly tuning the job balance
just gone?
There's no "don't pick this job, none of the serious endgame players play this" job in XIV
Yeah nothing at all
but sound works on the rest of the system?
and you did try restarting the game? the usual
I had a similar issue recently because I was playing with the device properties of my headset in the windows settings
basically every time I changed something the game didn't pick up the device anymore
Uh well I'll try sound on the other stuff if it actually loads
sounds more like a general issue with your machine tbh and less with the game
Whats the closest striking dummy from Radz at Han?
I will chime in and say there is a bug with ff 14 that occasionally killls ALL ingame sound
Yedhilimad
and the only fix is to restart the client
to the west of the settlement on the beach
Yeah, I restarted and nothing which is why I came here originally.
Then it's probably a device selection issue
can I play the game atm if I have a free trial account already? got a bit confused checking on infos about who can and who cant play atm
Yes
I am free trial
thanks
so if you go Control Panel, Sound and have a look if you have several things activated there?
can I buy a weapon with blade of early antiquity? or does that not exist anymore?
So I have like both my gather classes to 80 and my culinary is 71 is that still a good way to get Gil. Like someone told me something about culinary and coffee biscuits so idk if that’s still a thing or not
coffeee buiscuits were nerfed on EW release
So don’t do it at all?
So I just restarted my whole computer and had to plug and unplug my headphones but it worked. Thank you anyways :)
that's no longer a thing
since you can just buy the weapons with poetics now
pre-augmented even
when do i activate battle chocobos?
yeah looks like edengrace are gated by savage
correct
like when do you unlock the feature to summon it in battle?
just to elaborate, the tokens are always for the weapons in the tome sets
!quest my fiesty little chocobo
!quest my feisty little chocobo
Docette appears to have caught scent of something.
Docette
South Shroud (X: 17.11 Y: 28.27)
Luquelot
Central Shroud (X: 20.28 Y: 21.62)
My Little Chocobo (Twin Adder)
My Little Chocobo (Maelstrom)
My Little Chocobo (Immortal Flames)
Bird in Hand
I Believe I Can Fly
also, for DPS chars, do people normally pick a tank or healer chocobo
to help in battle?
healer
tank chocobo can't hold aggro well
ty
and can't keep itself alive without healer tree
Then it's definately just the default audio device changing. But good!
Most people do 1 or 4 levels in the healer tree and then max out the dps tree
and then max out healer and then tank
What’s everyone opinion on like tanks and healers? Meaning which tank is the best & healer?
PLD suffers a bit in damage compared to the others, but all 4 are pretty equal
Tanks: Can be a bit of a polarizing topic, but they can all clear all content. Paladin has dps issues, it lacks a bit behind the others. Dark Knight is not looking so hot in dungeon big pulls and some people are sad about not getting many shiny new tools. Gunbreaker has lots of weaving so moving the boss can be a pain, depending on the situation. Warrior is unga bunga as always
But again, all are good for all content.
Healers: Can't really pick the "best" here either. Sage and Scholar seem to be a popular combo because they can synergize their kits well, but every one of them has nice tools for specific situations.
I like unga bunga

its very satisfying to pull the dungeon, press one ability and one AOE to full hp
I haven't played PLD but from what i hear it has one long flowchart of rotation
why am i always getting the arcade shooter gate thing
isnt there other ones
in GS
Yes and no. The rotation may seem long-ish at a glance but is also very intuitive. The spreadsheet memes are about it being rather strict due to spending more time in buff windows than out of them
So there is a lot of optimization you can do on an encounter basis
there are
the one you get is random to a degree, like there is a specific pool it picks from depending on the time
irl time that is
!faq gate
the gate is the same for everyone on the server
gate is same for everyone
just wait for the next one
oh ok
i think my recruit a friend reward is 4 days late, is this normal?
no wonder i only get air force or leap of faith, the others have a relatively rly low chance to happen smh
i got the 90day reward 61 days ago which means the feathers are 1 day late right?
how do you get access to the second coil of bahamut? the wiki says it unlocks after completing binding coil turn 5, which I've done, but its not in my duty finder
Did you do more of the quest line?
are the omega/alpha locations different per datacenter/server?
What are these? Should I try to get to them before time runs out? have just started game
Those are FATEs
They're not required content. They're basically like little world events that will give you a little xp and gil for completing them. Not worth rushing to them.
Particularly if you've just started, you'll be getting more than enough xp and gil from just doing the MSQ.
I love the music during them honestly
what a good way to start levelling crafters
Levequests.
will doing all of the lvl 50 MSQ on one character essentially overlevel me for HW
No. The level 50 MSQ doesn't give a whole lot of xp. At worst, you'll be about 4-5 levels ahead if you've got a bunch of xp boosts on and do even the Crystal Tower stuff on the same class.
unlock them all, buy some materials from the guild suppliers, you can get to like level 15 by completing the crafting log or just spamming crafts, then worry about levequests, GC turn-ins, maybe ixal beast tribe
ok
can i start leveling them as a beginner? Or should I wait till i have more money saved up
Basically, the post-expansion MSQ was never designed to be leveling content. It was at-cap, so originally gave no experience. They added a little bit of xp to it just to make it feel like progressing, but that's about it.
i see isee
I don't recommend crafters too early since they can be a gil drain if you're not self-sufficient
gathering is free, crafting is also free if you gather all the mats yourself
and having flying for gathering makes it a lot faster
it's basically pay-for-convenience
so in short, do MSQ until you get flying, then do gathering, then crafting?
sure
flying is a zone-by-zone unlock, except for the level 1-50 zones where you get all of them from completing the ARR leveling story
do i need to complete the hunting log to rank up in the GC
at least for the starter ranks
yes, you need to do the GC hunting log for 2 rank ups
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Grand_Company
the first 4 levels thou, dont need anything
somebody told me that the purchase restriction of the game will be lifted on the 25th, is that true?
yes, you can check the post in #lodestone-news-na for all the info

wow i just bought a physical cd of the game with registration code at sort of scalpler prices haha..... 
if I join a dungeon mid dialog, will it skip the dialog or can i start from the beginning again
cutscenes that are interrupted will not be flagged as completed usuaully
so you can just start it again
probably is repeatable? not sure
ok ill. check
if it isn't, its not too important
/gs change 1```
Why does this not work ? I have a gearset and i can manually switch to it without problem, but this neither does change my class nor equips my items when I execute it as a paladin
works for me, assuming you have a gearset in slot 1
also whats the point of that macro
its exactly the same as dragging the class onto a hotbar
just click and drag the gearset from the gearset list to a hotbar, and you'll get the exact same result
now if you wanted to do something else? sure, you'll need a macro
Oh, didnt knew this works, thanks
remove the extra line as well, should fix it
dont put gaps in macros
oh, yeah i will keep that in mind, ty
how do i change the city where my retainers sells my stuff on the market board? the icon of limsa lominsa looks uncool
how many free fantasia do we get? I only know the one from ARR
What’s the best way to level up from 81 to 90 right now?
Talk to a retainer vocate in the city you want to move them too I think
Just the one. Any extras come from HW collector's edition and I think an old ARR preorder bonus. After that, its the item shop.
Bozja/Zadnor (I've heard), or EW dungeon spam.
Thanks!!
that worked thank you
though idk why it says that my retainer will stay in the crystarium until january 21st
best way to farm GC seals before expert delivery?
Leveling roulette’s daily bonus, and then fates near your level
Also hunting log for your GC if you haven’t completed all the available ones
Dungeon spam, Bozja is no longer on par since they buffed dungeon XP
If you have crafters/gatherers leveled up, do their daily GC turn-ins too
So me and my wife miseed the recruite a friend thing before starting to play, so missed out on that stuff. What is the easiest two person mount to get with out buying it on the mog station?
Either RAF some other people or get the E4S mount (not sure how hard that one is currently)
not at all difficult
take the time to learn it and it should be mostly cheesable
you're still doing mechanics but the leeway is a fuckton
is it bettter to do quick retainer ventures over the long ones?
For exp, yes. Generally, do quick ones while you're logged in and then set a long one before you logout.
why am I not getting compressed aether in diadem while fishing ?
For the bazooka? Fishers just don't.
You don't need compressed aether for fishing
Since you don't blast fish out of the water obviously
If you want compressed aether you do botanist or miner since they benefit from compressed either
Is there anywhere that ||the 'narrative dialogue' from Meteion in The Dead Ends|| is written down
you can probably write it down from a random playthrough on youtube
Fair enough, I was hoping I wouldn't have to but I will do that lol

Question on DRG new skill Wyrmwood thrust. Will it work w/ LifeSurge ?
it seems too, jsut want to confirm if anyone knows
wyrmwind thrust? no
Do trials that drop Triple Triad cards have a higher drop rate if I run extreme or am I better off just unsyncing normals?
its an ability, life surge boosts weaponskills
from experience it seems to be more or less the same drop rate but we don't have any official percentages
Gotcha. Than kyou
have anyone else had this issue, i brought the complete edition digital on playstation 5 and created the square enix account and am able to login to game but i never got a registeration code and when i login mogstation it says i haven't purchased the game even thought i can still play it
Are you certain you purchased the complete edition? It is not currently for sale.
i purchased it december 11th and have been playing
yeah i logged into same account but mogstation say i don't own the game
as a general rule you shouldn't kill A ranks on ew areas because those are for trains?
Correct
game's available on the 25th right?
hello
And you are looking here?
yes, you can check the full announcement in #lodestone-news-na
i have a problem with launching the game
an unexpected error has occurred. exiting final fantasy xiv (6d)
please need help
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/f7c6f3/unexpected_error_6d/ Random reddit thread with various things that worked for some people
is the trial edition also coming back online on the 25th?
no
they specifically mentioned evaluationg the registration of new trial accounts at a later date
25th only resumes sales
existing trial players can still keep playing ofc, just like now
I see I see
This is where I’m looking can’t add service account because digital PlayStation version didn’t give me a code
rank 10 is highest that my companion can go ?
Looks like you haven't logged into the same account/region to me.
It is possible there is an issue on their side. You could try making a support ticket.
you need to feed it a thavnairian onion to raise its level cap by 1, up to rank 20, i think
sweet ya ty
Which requires gardening at a house or purchase off the mb (pretty price atm)
Ps account are tied to your psn
correct. Once your chocobo hits rank 20 they have access to all stances.
nice
thank you but non is working with me
any one who had the problem before
an unexpected error has occurred. exiting final fantasy xiv (6d)
Does the one time item restoration thing work on Fantasia?
Once you hit rank 10, the order goes Feed it an onion -> Level it up a rank -> feed it an onion -> level it up a rank, etc. You can't just unlock it all the way to 20 at once.
Im so excited to start playing! 😄
If you sold it to an NPC vendor in the last week, I think so.
need some advice, I'm at the crossroads between gearing a healer and dps beyond the ilv580 mark, logically I think that the gear should go to dps since as a healer I'll be contributing less to the dps checks
am I right here, or is there strong reasons to put the gear into a healer?
Anyone know if you glamour an item and sell the item the glamour came from will that affect the glamour?
No it won't until you take it off
oh ok ty
So as long as you don't glamour something new onto it or remove the glamour with a prism then it'll stay
You mean unequip or using a dispeller?
Ok
Ty
once you use an item as glamour it gets bound to you so you won't be able to sell it on the market just as a warning, but if you vendor it the glam will stay until you cast another one on it
Well the item was already unmarketable/untradeable anyway..was my weapon
So I have a WHM mechanics question. If you are in an Alliance, does AOE abilities hit the other parties as well? Like Medica or Afflatus Rapture (aoe lily)?
no
it's only on party members
That would be so op with 6 medica 2 and 6 regen on the tank :p
only single target heals will affect other alliances, like in cities etc
If you want to heal others, you'll have to manually target them
though generally that shouldn't be required
unless you have to raise one of the other alliance healers
Each party does have 2 healers afterall
yeah
Rapture would never hit another player in a raid anyway…
But you mean pvp alliance I see
i am trying to demolish my house but it won't let me
Ok. Just trying to figure out how to get higher healing. Hitting 4-500k a Frontline match and consistently hitting upper ranks, but then I see people doing 1m+ on occasion
anyone know how to remove state halls?

How do I get lost blood rage. I don’t see it anywhere
Only from Dalriada
Is it possible to replay Endwalker quests?
It’s not in NG+ yet
Pain
It will be in 6.1. For now we can’t.
Replace them
does anyone encounter this Gpose problem where it just does...this? (this is a party member during gpose and it only happens to party member)
gpose makes everyone replay their most recent emote, if that's what you're referring to
I need help. My hotbar 1 is sharing with other unique class skills after I pressed something on my keyboard. It's not ticked on shared hotbar in Character Config-Hotbar-Sharing so I don't know what's causing this
Oh, there's... two of the same
seems like a potential gpu issue, never seen that before myself
You might have scrolled to hotbar 9
If people move it'll leave behind a "ghost" of their character
How do I scroll it back?
this problem doesn't happen to non-party people however
Press the arrows on hotbar one
yeah that's just a gpose feature
It saves currently party members positions and emotes
I forget what setting toggles it off
Aight, thanks!
Any Idea why the CTRL + G keybind doesnt work on my Redmage ? Hotbar 4 is shared and the Keybind works on my paladin without a problem. It also works here if I mouseclick the chocobo icon
that's hotbar 10
uhm ... question here ... had to reconfigure my entire computer from scratch ... where can I find the FFXIV-Launcher, so I can install the game again? I don't want to buy it, because I already own it, i just want the Launcher, so I can reinstall it
!faq download
thank you very much 🙂
@cursive ridge ohh very true. I just setup the collapsed hotbars today and I had a second chocobo icon on the hidden hotbar 4 on my paladin. Ty
Can rdm use spell speed or does it not work on them very well?
Ok
Morning everyone! Are the Adventurer In Need rewards repeatable in the roulettes?
Yes
Adventurer in Need bonus is always available
in need is repeatable
provided ofc you are the role i n need
cool, thanks!
Ok so I’m trying to get the sky steel weapon for botanist and it says I need HQ+ of latex. I’m looking through my actions and I don’t see anything on how to increase HQ am I doing something wrong
That's old info. You can't gather HQ items anymore
Oh so I just get the items in normal quality?
What does the quest/vendor in game tell you to do
Isn't it basically a shop type of menu that asks for items in return for the tool in question? It should say if it needs to be HQ or not
It's just NQ now
you literally can't gather HQ mats anymore
Ok thank you. I’m looking at this guide and that’s why I asked it said HQ. I barely know what I’m doing 90% of the time so I just follow guides
Don’t look at old guides
don’t use guides pre-6.0.
So I’m assuming this isn’t the right amount of materials either
It's the correct amount from what I'm seeing
Check with Denys. That's who you trade them to

How fast is levels 1-60~ on a fresh character just skipping all cutscenes etc?
any idea when the next sale going to be?
We aren’t square so no
Probably not for a long time. Purchases were shutdown because the game was selling too well.
Sales aren't on a set schedule and given the success of the game probably won't happen for a long while
Are triple triad open tournaments always draft?
First time ever doing one and this is frustrating as hell
yes always draft
I just want to win ONE for the pheonix card
I don't know if it's consistent, feels bigger on larger mobs, but could just be perception
it's just the range from ur outer hitbox to the character's outer hitbox with a consistent range
idk if it's exactly 3y or some odd value
Is Fending for tanks
yes
so my suspicions are exactly right, bash my face against this until I get lucky with a good draft. lol
it says on the gear what jobs can use what
Slaying is monk and samurai
right
Are there macros for skybuilders recipes that are still working? I made the mistake of thinking trained eye would work and spent most of my gil on mb components - only to fail the synthesis entirely
Ahahahaha
For the expert crafts
Barely if you have pentamelded gear and the best food
Yeah. I was trying to make the grade 4 icebox 😄
To be fair, you did this to yourself
I'm in level 90 gear, still not enough?
For a level 80 recipe? Daaaamn. Yep I screwed myself. All I wanted was 1000 skybuilders scripts 😄
Including tools, tsai tou vounou hq and hq cunning craftsman draught
To macro it
You can still trained eye the non expert crafts
Like the bed on crp
!action trained eye
"this gaterhing is taking FOREVER. I should just buy enough materials for 20 of this recipe, that'll do it"
rip
if you just need 1000 just do the non-expert crafts
Side note thanks for letting me feel smug atop my pteranodon again
But yeah non expert craft for scrips
Thanks! I'll see if I can sell these 700 materials again to fund my bed crafting ^_^
Gentlemen, i am leveling up fresh character on ffxiv. what does the color icon on the top right corner of equipment items implies?
It’s mentioned in the item info too
If I want to collect Lightning crystals, should I go to the lowest level place to collect them?
or is there some special benefit to collect them from higher level zones
is aug shire the best weapon for warrior or is there something better
i think some higher levels have the cluster instead of the crystals but otherwise yeah farm away at low levels
its pretty good for lvl 60 yeah
poetics weapons are the best 50/60/70/80 weapons you can get in basically no time
there's ones that are slightly better
but not worth the effort

and coven is not available anymore

i do like the look of metal axe, but i can use shire until i become a member
ye
Then just speed through Alex Savage
btw, whats the best stats for warrior, i know its str and vit, but what about the 2 last one
i know, but in the future when they open the game again,
plus what if i want to mend a weapon
Just cross that bridge when you get there
and no reason to optimize substats since all the content you're gonna be doing with people who are overgeared
serving basically no purpose
Whats the use of Redmage Engagement ? As far as I can see you will prefer to use corps a corps to engage and use the charge of engagement for displacement
Engagement is the one where you do a flip in place and shares a CD/charge with displacement right?
Yes
Bit of extra damage if you don't need to jump away
Engagement makes it easier to double-weave, but also lets you stay in place instead of jumping backwards.
Jumping backwards takes longer to finish the entire animation before you can cast, and can also put you in a bad spot.
You use Engagement when you can't afford to backflip off the edge of the map.
Both the same damage
is there a minimum amount of ppl needed to do/clear delebrum?
Or there’s a bunch of bad on the floor
Either if there's an actual drop, or if it's a wall of death.
Like P2
Right, I meant slotting it into your rotation
Yeah but he was asking why should you use engagement instead of displacement, essentially
is there echo that compensates for lesser players like CLL?
Basically, it takes the place of Displacement in your rotation when using Displacement would otherwise kill you.
Ohh, didnt knew there were fights in which i can yeet myself of of cliffs. In this case its pretty logical
Engagement is just infinitely better than displacement.
Engagement finishes fasters granting you control of your character sooner and lets you maintain your current position.
Well you can also end up yeeting yourself into AoE too
but yeah
Do you not remember Titan
You can yeet yourself off platforms and insta-die
Cliffs, death walls, floor is lava. There's all kinds of mechanics that you can use it to avoid.
Im new to MMO's. what does double-weaving mean ?
Double-weaving is more of a FFXIV thing
So
when you use a GCD, you can "weave" an oGCD in between GCDs
Redmage has a lot of oGCDs
and if you're fast enough (and low ping)
you can double-weave in between your GCDs
GCD = Global Cooldown
GCD is anything that causes your other spells to lock up
oGCD is anything that doesn't cause your other spells to lock up, for the most part
Ahh, well at least on PLD i had no problems to use 2 oGCD's in between so far, or at least it felt like that. Maybe I actually did delay the next GCD and didnt notice. Thanks
For example, a basic weave for RDM would be Verstone > Veraero > Fleche (weave) > Verthunder
Don’t clip
When RedMage does his stabby combo, the recast (GCD) is so short you can only single-weave
Yup
what is the minimum number of people needed to run/clear delubrum reginae?
Does a high lvl redmage rotation contain a lot more skills than the lv 50 one ? I feel like im already kind of limited with the amount of keys I can press comfortable
Level 80+ RDM adds some more things onto the end of your melee combo, but those are spell transforms, so they don't take up additional buttons.
Ohh thats good to hear.
If I may ask carefully. What is the position this discord holds when it comes to plugins ? Should they not be mentioned, or is it allowed to talk about them in channels like this ?
For example, Jolt II/Impact into Scorch (80) into Resolution (90), Veraero into Verholy (70), Verfire into Verflare (68).
We don't mind if you talk about addons here.
We're not officially affiliated with SE, so we don't care.
Ohh thats cool. Tbh it might be because im not used to mmos where you use more than 10 skills but i feel pressured to actually use stuff like this plugin that stacks your combos like its in pvp as i even reach my limit with these.
Just don’t mention it in game
I wont, ty
You are going to end up with more than 10 buttons to push, stacking combo actions or not.
Manafication at 60 (gain 50/50 mana instantly) will be the main thing that'll change your rotation, after that it's just adding more spells to the end like already mentiond
It can be done with 1 person who knows what they're doong
Although because this game is kind of optimized to be as playable with controller as with kbm, it's rare that you'll have more than 16 constant use abilities.
What role should I fill if I'm doing a command mission so it goes somewhat quickly
Tank
thanks
Yes i know. But its also something different, if I have to press the hard to reach keys in a short combo or just once every while for a oGCD or a situational buff
Just move your keybinds around to make it comfy for you.
as follow-up: can they even do wall to wall pulls? I assume not but I'll ask anyway
The one concern I'd have about using an addon to "stack" combos like in PvP is that it could interfere with weaving, etc.
..and how do I use these "Orders"
In command missions, they'll follow you and your commands. I usually go in as healer, and just command them to attack. Historically they've been rather OP for the content, so you can easily w2w.
They can’t aoe
Orders are pretty basic - command them to attack and they'll attack the target.
When it's dead, command them to attack something else.
they'll automaticalluy do that anyways, right ?
Sometimes
For me it wasnt a problem so far. I guess it would be problamatic if it would be a macro, but since it basically switches the skill connected to that hotbar slot it doesnt feel different than pressing 1>2>3
The command mission AI is a little... stupid sometimes.
okay another follow up: why does my healer never heal me
so for anyone else who was having issue i had make sure to remember username is cap sensitive somehow i had 2 accounts one with lowercase user id and one with caps on support saved the day
oh, that's why 
true
can I easily w2w if I'm healer instead of tank
I already hate doing this I just want captain
You only have to do... 5? 10? I don't even remember.
Just do the 10 lowest level ones.
I'm trying to plant Royal Kukuru Seeds but I need to use soil. Will anything get messed up if I still have the crossbreed plants and Thanalan 3 soil when I plant them?
Halatali in particular I remember went really quickly with the command squad.
also what's this "Independent" thing on them
I see I can set them to offensive, how would I do that
Uhhh, it's been a minute since I did command missions.
Talk to them in the barracks
Because yeah, they suck.
I can't change it
There's a requirement you have to meet.
Then you haven’t unlocked it
😭 man these suck
They’re random
How do I make my inventory show the entire page instead of one
Yeah, honestly just do the low level ones and be done with it.
Go as healer. Make them w2w for you.
Or go as tank and pray you survive.
Thanks
For the retainer exploration minions-- can they drop from both the level 81 and the level 85?
All the stuff online says 81
But idk
Would it be better rates for 85
Question but how Latency friendly is DRG?
Not... particularly.
There's a reason that it's memed as floor tank.
I see
That reason is latency
I don't know that there's a particularly latency "friendly" class at all.
it was memed as a floor tank because it had lower magic resistance than other jobs, and the animation lock on their jumps were long
not because of latency
Afaik drg is fine if you have high ping
might be a bit tedious to double weave at points, but you're not able to double weave your jumps either way
After being a Tank for so long I want to get into Dps but my ping is around the 150+ range
I see
With 150+ ping I'd recommend... something ranged, maybe?
honestly, afaik drg is probably the most friendly for high ping since the rotation is quite strict and you don't have a whole lot to double weave tbh
def not
no lmao
I was thinking SMN, actually.
New SMN doesn't seem to be as weave-intensive as it once was.
The reason I'm asking is that I fell in love with MCH then loss my sanity to Wildfire T_T
it may as well be ranged
... casters are ranged
with how little isn't instant cast
no, casters are casters
they fall under ranged
ranged is used as shorthand for phys ranged^
but yes, magical ranged dps is the classification
its being pedantic on that front
^
Smn should be ok i think on high ping
god i hate english
though titan might be a little annoying
Yeah, English is a really dumb language. I don't disagree.
Yeah, Titan might get a little tight on timing, but it should otherwise be pretty straightforward, even at high ping.
I also know BLM isn't a ping gated job but other than that not much
BLM isn't ping-gated, but it can get pretty tight on cycle timing.
I'll try DRG out though and see how I like it
Not as many weaves, but if you miss the timing on a cast, you're out a big chunk of damage.
Especially if it's at the end of a rotation segment.

For the retainer exploration minions-- can they drop from both the level 81 and the level 85?
All the stuff online says 81
But idk
Would it be better rates for 85
Can you farm dungeon minions unsynced?
yep
Yes
Whats the fastest way to get skybuilders' scrips right now? buy mats on the market and craft? they are really cheap right now afaik
are we getting another bozja zone in 6.x? or did they not announce anything yet
bozja isn't getting anything else
They haven't said.
We won't get an extension to the Save the Queen areas, but whether we get a new Bozja-type zone is up in the air.
Does anyone have a tutorial for what the fastest way to lvl up your second class is?
!faq altlevelguide
is there a recommendation of food for reaper and blackmage?
My crafters all hit Lv.85
Should I bother making Lv84 crafter gear (and normal meld) or should I hold out to make Lv87 gear?
Currently in white scrip 80 gear.
do you feel like you're having trouble crafting stuff
I've just been making collectibles. The rotation I made will 100% the new L85 collectibles I am going to make now
then there's no reason to bother making new set of gear
if you can still easily 100% craft what youre doing
kk
Only thing I'm feeling atm is how rough it is to gather all the mats
My gatherers easily Lv90 but in 80scrip gear
right, but that's time being the difficulty factor
it's "artificially hard" rather than presenting an actual challenge
you can easily level to 90 in your 80 gear
that's what i did
Will the game let me craft this despite only being Lv85 weaver?
yes
Can I play the game on 2 devices?
I am planning to get a PS5. And i wanna give my PS4 to my boyfriend. So when i visit him there is also a console. Can I play the game there?
And also when i am home?
you can craft up to 5 above your level
Interesting
Isn Recipie less than 5 levels?
Once you upgrade to the PS5 version you can't go back down to the PS4 version iirc.
Wonder if I could somehow manage to craft Lv90 gatherer gear HQ from Lv85 in white scrip gear
Oh. 😢
note that for gatherer nodes every 1 level above yours adds a -5% stacking penalty
regardless of any gear stats/reqs
My gatherers are level 90
First I've heard of this, I think they're one license, at least for now
If you've upgraded to ps5 try log in on the PS4
When you did the free upgrade from the PS3 to PS4 version, the PS3 version became unusable.
I assume it's the same with PS4 to PS5
it wont be easy to craft 90 hq gear in white scrip gear, you will have to risk low chances probably
Was this before or after ps3 support was fully dropped?
Uhhh
Since ps3 support was dropped in sb
It's been four years. I don't recall.
They literally making new ps4s rn
I just remember that when I did the upgrade it told me that I wouldn't be able to use the PS3 version anymore.
Imma guess rusko needs to science this for us
It was a one-way thing.
I need to farm loads and loads of Gatherer Scrip because I was dumb and bought materia with all the White Scrips I got from the Stroy Quests: Is there a "these unspoiled spots respawn exactly one after the other" list somewhere?
garland bell will help you make a route
make a new 'list' on there selecting all the nodes from the patch you want/profession you want
and it will show it on the timer above and the maps above
What boss does Amon's Hat drop from in Syrcus Tower?
Xande
Cheers
I think it can drop in an earlier fight too
But you're basically gonna speedrun the entire tower regardless
Should I do it solo?
you can't solo
you need 3 people min to enter alliance raids unsync, one in each party
Oh I see
not to mention that ST pops all the time
there's no reason to bother trying to solo it anyway
How strong is the divine veil heal for the team when we proc it cause I can't tell at all
Prince Lunatender ?
did they remove summoner's rez in endwalker ?
No
its ok
Quote: "If you need to res as SMN then your group is doing some serious mistakes, better let someone else ress as it gimps your rotation the worst out of all DPS who can"
Do people still do Eureka? I don't even know what it is, just seen some cool glams from there
yes
Where's the main ff launch program? I'm not sure which I need to pin to start menu
I see, thanks, ill check out that discord
do you mean the executable that launches the game?
He means the rocket they are sending to space soon
Whichever is the thing that opens up the launcher to let me sign in. Had to do fresh os install but ffxiv was on another drive
so idk where i go to open it now
it's under FFXIV in program files
FFXIVboot
nicee
Any answer to my question?
!action divine veil
Upon HP recovery via healing magic cast by self or a party member, a protective barrier is cast on all party members within a radius of 15 yalms.
Duration: 30s
Barrier Effect: Prevents damage up to 10% of your maximum HP
Duration: 30s Additional Effect: Restore target's HP
Cure Potency: 400
Effect ends upon casting barrier on self and nearby party members.
Is it strong for them or a weak heal?
its small
Ok
The heal is pretty small
The main thing is the shield
Kk ty
Heal is just a bonus
If I got the book from the savage raids, can I still run it for the coffers?
No
You can only roll on coffers on your first clear
You get nothing
You lose
Good day sir!
good day...
Hi, I'm doing the lvl 54 Samurai quest, where you board a ship in Costa Del Sol and fight ninjas, a monster, and a samurai. I'm stuck on the Samurai, he does 1/4 of my health with his attacks. I've tried eating and getting a buff beforehand, using potions, Second Wind and Bloodbath, using Third Eye to mitigate his damage, but I still keep dying. Is there something I'm missing that I need to do to beat this dude?
You get the satisfaction of doing better that run
How's your gear?
Fuck me the movies is from 1971
lol
Default Samurai gear right now. I haven't seen an upgrade yet
that quest
Grab Ironworks gear. It's better.
Striking accessories from the blu bag vendor in start cities
Yeah majorily improve your gear
It's doable in the base gear, but it's significantly easier with fully Ironworks.
^
I refuse 
Just git gud
Then get the ironworks gear and git gud 
Will do boss
That said, the level 60 quest is scaled for ilevel 270
They're only doing the level 54 one though
So if you don't have poetics gear by then IT WILL kill you unless you're in v easy
I know, advance warning
Fair
:/ barely anybody playing... taking forever to queue for 24man nier raid lol...
almost an hour hahaha
Do you have Japanese selected for languages?
i have everything selected
Also it's like 2am in Japan.
No
its early mornign JP time...
You're just queueing for content when everyone is asleep
don't expect queues to be good when you're queueing for content that's not actively queued for
and are relying on roulettes to fill
Are melee's generally less popular in raid or is it just my guild?
It's not like eu or na where you got multiple timezones in your dc, majority of players in jp servers are in japan
although tbh, even at peak JP time like 7pm their time... Ramuh's login queue is like 20 something
haven't seen anything like NA servers
I see it on NA servers all the time.
you can't visit another world on a different data centre can you?
No
currently, no
thx
On Primal Excalibur I typically only see queues in the 60s at the highest, even logging in around 5pm EST.
did they reenable server xfer now?
No
Two weeks
On the Cross Hotbar, is there anyway to remove the text underneath? The Set # RB
hey, did they already do something on the server ? Started playing a week before EW and now the queue is much much better, but didn't see anything about it. Saw news about new servers soon but not in december
Not yet, no. It's just that a lot of people have finished the MSQ, and are spending less time logged in overall.
Hype has died down
There were changes and reconfiguring during launch week
Including contributing test servers to help manage the load
Nothing really new content wise
I see, thanks
Pretty sure not
on treasure maps do you put lootmaster on or do you just trust people to greed and not need
Trust
ok ;u;
When new servers open, will there be any benefit to moving at all?
Yes
And what benefits are those
They'll offer preferred status bonuses as well as Silver Chocobo feathers and a bonus of 1M gil to low levels that reach level 30 for the first time once per account.
It will also be free to transfer to the new servers for a time.
True
So as someone who started April and with several 90's is it even enticing enough?
Darn. Thank you!
where can i get 565 gear?
tomestone is 570 min isn't it?
there is no gear that 565 specifically
You will need a mix of af5, aphorism, and or crafted gear to hit 565 required for pandaemonium
is it possible to clear your teleport history?
From what I can tell, no.
Do you get full fate contributions if you do little work but your party does a lot?
Yes
So thats why parties are so popular in bozja
tbf but also because party contribution :^)
being in a party does help ensure you get full credit
I tried solo leveling a tank in bozja and as long as I followed the 20+ people the enemy would die but as a tank with slow mount speed it was hard to get full credit
yeah, you better off in party both CE and FATE
Ce?
It doesn't split the exp, so everyone win
critical engagements
Some abilities are useless without a party
Critical Engagement
Oh
so just stick to your party and start killing ez
How easy is leveling a healer in bozja?
The same as any other job
Do I just spam aoe healing while watching youtube?
You have to actually hit things

It's just him explaining the mental afk of running fates on every job
The problem with getting every class to 90 would be how hard getting a good glamour for each one would be
Especially since if they share gear it makes it harder
So I go with a by-category glam
All my tanks share the same, all my healers, etc
why cant i mooch in diadem? how do i do it
The fact that my pld and gnb share the same armor is horrible
you can put glam plates on gear sets
Too bad plates can't be swapped outside
The glamour is on a per-gear basis not per-set basis
Unless you link the set
Then that raises the whole "we only have 15 glamour plates" comment
I'm not sure I understand what you mean
Unless you're using a macro to change gear set and glamour plate at the same time
you link a glamour plate to a gear set
You don't need a macro
so when you change (inside an appropriate place) the glamour is automatically applied to your gear
when do alliance raids come out
Whats this error thing mean?
6.1 for the first wing
First one is 6.1, so March/April
cool
Does it link the gear on the plate at the time of linking or always? i.e. if the plate changed
always, so if you change that plate whatever is on it will be applied when you swap to that job
unless you unlink the plate
Okay... so, again, 15 plates is a limiter
can anyone in the party create waymarks and import saved layouts or only the party leader
If you wanted a unique for each job
Anyone can
ty
Anyone
anyone, and afaik there's no log option to show who did what

is there a website kinda like eorzea collection for housing for inspiration/ideas?
https://housingsnap.com/ main downside is its in JP but relatively easy to navigate
nice, ty ty
and links are to the lodestone of items
never seen that
ty!
should mention though that people aren't always that great about putting what items they used (atleast from what i remember when i gave it a look a long time ago) so
just something to keep in mind
Can I ask a really n00bish question about savage loot? I get the 0-2 chest thing, but every time I’ve cleared P1S in a 2-chest party there were 3 coffers, and last week P2S dropped 2 coffers and 2 mats. Does every chest drop a random number of loot or something?
Random number of coffers, either 2 or 3
!faq savageloot
"Chest" and "coffer" are not the same thing
In a 1-chest clear, the chest received is random
First Floor:
Chest A: 2x Accessory Coffer
Chest B: Accessory Coffer
Second Floor:
Chest A: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer + Weapon Tomestone + Accessory upgrade material
Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer
Third Floor:
Chest A: Leg Coffer + Left-side upgrade material + Weapon upgrade material
Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer
Fourth Floor:
Chest A: Weapon Coffer + Mount
Chest B: Random Weapon + Chestpiece Coffer
Chest contents
Thanks, perfect! That what I thought with chest v. coffer
is it possible to disable the dumb flute that gets put into your hands when using Peloton?
Or can I tweak a setting so it doesn't stay in my hands for 3s after the animation is done?
There’s a flute?
yes
Oh that must just be a bard thing, because I’ve never noticed
Or stood still while casting it
Yes, that is the bard peloton animation
I would guess if you use some other ability right after that might do the trick. Not quite sure what you would use though.
you would have to use dancer or machinist to 'remove' the flute from peloton
machinist peloton animation looks silly as well, you just plant your legs still and since you mainly use it while running you just basically slide across the ground for the duration of the animation
https://i.imgur.com/Tqv0CVX.png do i want to keep rerolling ?
or do you stop at 1 line?
depends on which reward you want
Well i'd like to get gold one for once
Well, you can't get gold with that
they can
Nope
If those top two were one space to the right
the dalamud plugin in the bottom left tells you
how can you see how much shiled you have without a party?
You don’t
getting 1 assured and hoping for 2 is more realistic
sure but you might reroll until you get A chance with 7/9
I always go for 3, cause I don't need anything from 1/2 lines 😹
they already had 1 line, and had a chance at 2
if they've played enough they already have all bronze rewards and silver rewards
going for 3 lines is a nicety that if it happens, it happens but aiming for it isn't realistic
grabbing astronomy and aphorism if you have everything else is ultimately better
than ending with just 9 stickers
ah yeah I got what you mean, sometimes if I don't have enough reshuffle I just settle for anything, even 0 line and just get another book
i mean, line1 and line2 rewards are pretty much meh after a point anyway, so might as well reroll until you get a possibility of line3 or until you run out of rerolls
is pandemonium NQ easy? ;x
drops still weekly gated right?
yes
by now a lot of players are very familiar with the fights and can basically carry you
Yes, and will be until 6.1(?)
correct
if you really want to
you can keep rerolling until you got a 3-liner lined up until the 25th
sigh... wish the gear was dyeable XD... i dont' got enough time to dedicate to savage 😦
oh really
that's actually not a bad idea
yeah books last for 14 days
but dont they reset weekly?
you have to turn in one to get another
you got 2 weeks to hand it in
they do
dont i miss out on a book then?
no, you turn in and grab that week's
grab this week's one
finish it next week with a 3-liner line up
and just grab next week's one
oh so i dont miss out?
there's no way of cheesing second chances right?
i guess best bet is to do leveling roulettes or something
don't have to hand it in the same week
You can check party finder for people doing coils for story
since that would be 13 points if they haven't done a single one
trial roulette is, in my experience, a decent roulette to spam for 2nd chance if no one's got PF up for first timer bonus
hi all, anybody having issue turning in level 80 caster role quest in shadowbringer?
i have seeing other people with dif thing next to they name, like a sporut, rp and crown, what are they call
where do you get the upgrade mat for the 590tome?
Savage
doesn't drop from NQ? ;x
No
i remember they used to drop from non savage?
Savage is how you upgrade it early
was that alliacne raid?
alliance raid in 6.1
6.1 allows for it via alliance
oh ok
Help: can't complete "A Tearful Reunion" (Level 80 Caster Role Quest)

There must be a way?
question about regalia type-g, is it a rare mount or a yearly event mount
One-off event mount
It won't be back as far as we know.
not yearly
it came back once, but we don't know if it will come back again
They'll drop it again probably since It's just a collaboration with FFXV
i hope, its a cool mount
