no its not showing that char anymore
the statement is urianger-ified now I think 
Are you on the correct world?
Or data center for that matter?
yes i cheked multiple times my lvl 50 dragoon char is gone
yes, because the list is much more tightly packed in the "average" percentiles
I think this statement is misleading, do you mind if I rephrase?
sure
I know what you're trying to say but I don't quite think it's getting across correctly lol
yeah no worries 😄
it did few days ago but i don't see it anymore
how polite to ask tho
Then sounds like it's been deleted contact support

ya alredy did
but asked here for 2nd opinion
then it isn't what u said before: "if you have a 90 then you did more dmg than 90% of other people".
Having 60% makes u better than 60% of people is different that having 60% makes u better than people who didn't get that score.
If it's more packed at average, you could have a score of 70% and being better than 95% of people.
That's why I'm asking, I just wanna know how it's gauged
the distribution is not equal across percentiles, so yes, you are right
however it's a skewed system anyway so I would not think about it that hard
higher percentile = good
that's all one needs to know
@wheat plume:
Let's say we have 1000 people parsing for WHM in EX1 of Endwalker.
It takes their DPS and ranks them in a percentile list. A higher number means a better score - a 67% parse means you did better in terms of damage than 67% of the other 999 people parsing for WHM in that fight.
This part I think you've gotten. The misleading part was this: when new parses are added to the list, you're more likely to get someone parsing lower in the list than higher in the list. I don't think that was communicated properly.
Sorry that took as long as it did, got called away for a phone call real quick
The best of the best generally stay toward the top, as it's much easier to go below a high parse than above.
https://streamable.com/k5kzzd here i press one spell, then walk up to the boss and do nothing else. what is my character doing, if not auto-attacking?
also regarding the right-click thing, i noticed that if i R-click during combat it does indeed have a "stay attack" option, but i'd have to click that after every spell so that's not very helpful
Even if it randomly placed into a % between 0 and 99, if your parse is a 96%, you probably won't budge much - there's a lot more below than above.
Does that make sense? I hope?
@sick osprey you turned on auto attacking before you even cast the spell
That's what the circle above it's head is
Just for the record though because this conversation has been going on for a while: The system is skewed anyway because it purely depends on a dataset that has to be given voluntarily. Basic assumption would be that people are less likely to upload bad logs of themselves, making the data show an inaccurate picture at all times.
So best to take parse % with a grain of salt
^^^this
which brings us back to the initial question: how do i turn it off?
yeah, completely, Parse being like a ranking board ordered by DPS dealt, but your % is from ur position in the "board" instead of the dps u dealt, and new people almost always get under the tops
looking at it as "almost always" is a bit misleading, but if it's easier to follow that way, it's technically correct
Right click stay attack
Like we told you
And stop turning it on in the first place
also regarding the right-click thing, i noticed that if i R-click during combat it does indeed have a "stay attack" option, but i'd have to click that after every spell so that's not very helpful
If you're on controller mashing a or x that's gonna enable it
You auto attack after you attack in general though
i'm not deliberately turning it on if thats what you mean
It's not just a "I turned this on" thing

Not on casters
And not on blu mage
auto attacks are automatic
Unless you manually turned it on
is the dps u dealt and the % not closely related?
like for my class, if i can just nail more or less 5k, thats a 99% right there
i dont really care what 99% means beyond that 5k is more or less the highest fucking dps i can possibly achieve at this point iin time
casters do auto attacks if they're in melee range automatically
that's what I meant when I said "best not to think about it too much"
the two are not exactly related but will be, more often than not
Not if you don't turn them on
higher number is good, no need to understand more than that
well i didnt, i clicked the spell on the hotbar 1 time and then just walked
Then check your character config for auto attacking options
When you target, do you right click?
i just tab
because that makes you auto attack before you do anything
no, i tab
That's interesting then since it definitely did it before you attacked
there's a couple screenshots of me casting missile on a dummy, note no auto attack enabling
couldn't do video cuz rush and obs updates
that's your config, it doesn't reflect what others have, or "should" have
The not auto attacking is the default
it isn't
For casters it is
that's incorrect.
it is actually
it still isn't
Weaponskills trigger auto attacks on melee so they don't notice
That doesn't mean something isn't different for the person with the issue
but the default for casters is what's shown
what’s the original question
how to stop them from auto attacking
how to stop autoing a boss in combat
reflect
blue mage thing
masked carnivale
cant attack or you get rolled
Tea and stillness would also like a word
on that stage i remember just clicking off the boss and casting normally
idr if i changed any settings
Pressing x or a again on controller also starts auto attacking
Gotta be careful not to accidentally pull in extreme/savage
idk the issue is still that they auto attack when they aren't supposed to be so idk what was changed since I can't find a setting but it's not working as intended there
auto attacks trigger when given time without any interruption and engaged in combat
Not on caster
Yes on caster
As I've already established
Yes on caster
on every job.
Then how come mine don't
if a caster isn't casting and is in melee range, they will auto
Cuz I didn't do any settings for that
Mine doesn't either and I know I didn't mess with it because I can't even find it
And I was in melee range
I'm so confused
I can't even google it because it's just a bunch of "put your weapon away"
I'm so confused is there really a setting for that
you stop attacking once you swap targets without actively wanting to attack it
because I tried this out myself on a dummy, regular jolt cast, no autos.
im pretty sure casters only auto attack if you right click the target
yeah
Yeah that's what mine does
bc otherwise you just cast without any autos
That's why I asked if they were right clicking earlier
if you were autoing, just click off for a split second and target again with left click or tab
at least that's how i understand it
doesnt sheathing make you clip your next gcd
the question was about blu so that doesn't really matter here
Right click on enemies starts auto attack by default
what's the target setting you guys were talking about? is there one?
I can't find it but it has to exist for this difference in behaviour
Which is confusing as hell
yeah nothing I'm looking at would do that
Cuz you have to be able to target without auto attacking, hell ranged do it all the time
in fflogs, the ACTIVE % is for all the time i've been attacking or moving too?
isnt the solution to just not right click
gcd uptime
they were tabbing
how do i go in hoh 31-40?
i just cleared it
you have to queue as a full party, or as solo
if you enter through the duty finder /w random teammates you're locked to 1-30
so is it not 31-40 for farming xp?
oh my bad sorry

After I beat prat, how much story left until Hw?
still a good bit
Damn
I've searched one friend in fflogs and she doesn't have anything recorded, but I've searched another friend and in his recorded fight, it shows the first friend participated. Then why can't i see the fight when i search the first friend ?
first friend didnt upload anything?
nop, neither first nor second, but is that an issue? I've never uploaded anything and I'm there. and someone uploaded a fight with the first friend
try clicking update on their profile
might be late
that, or they have parses hidden
idk then sry cant help
so I redeemed a game time card does it usually takea minute or so for it to kick in to my account?
welp nvm it sorted itself out xd
i updatted and nothing appears, but she says she never put anything hidden
radiant elements on savage drop count like a reward to take ?
are you looking in the right section for the fight to appear?
which duty is it?
you can geta all the items in savage, theres only the one chance every week
i searched her name and I see it like this:
but then I can find her in another player log cause same party
so elements of radiants are rewards too ?
she was parsed in P3N
not quite sure waht those are
in fflogs in the profile page of a player, is there a way to switch between normal raids and savage raids? the list only says the raid name, but i dunno if normal and savage show together
you're looking at savage fights
above there's a Highest Difficulty drop down
select normal
by default it shows Savage
if there are no savage logs recorded and only normals, it shows normals
the default setting is high difficulty
The default is savage
I changed to normal, clicked update, and still the fight doesn't appear
default is savage shown, if there are no savage logs, it shows normal logs
if there are no logs then whoever uploaded them have it set to prvate most likely
my friend got recorded on fflogs by someone else, I can see her name in the fight log, but what else do I need to click here in her profile to see the fight
also people generally do not really upload logs below extreme difficulty
I don't think so, cause I can see the logs, and I can find it in another friend profile who participated in the same fight
might be some kind of delay, check back later?
are you certain it's your friend's profile and not someone with the same name?
yeah, I have the 2 friends in a linkshell, just checked their names to be sure
sometimes it takes a little while to update
neither of the 2 friends uploaded that fight to fflogs, but inside the fight participants i can see both, but I can find the fight only in the profile of 1 of the friends
also make sure the logs are public if you're the one who uploaded them
3 days ago
i didn't uploaded them, but I think they're public cause I can see the fight in friend A profile (but not in friend B profile)
vendor/throw shit out
desynth gear
desynth
Desynth, sell stuff
like ik what that means
hm what level are you?
or rather, do you have a crafter to 30?
desynthesis is basically disenchanting items, but needs a disciple of Hand to 30 to get the quest
is transform a gear piece in its original ingredients, doing that also makes u get better desynth lvl for that crafter, if the desynt level is higher than ilvl from the gear, u can get better items from it
other than that selling/throwing stuff out is a god
maybe more than 3 days for some player's profiles and not for others?
can it be any crafter
not that long no
yes
ayup
then you need to do the quest:
after that you can rightclick on items and desynthesis to break em down
you do need the right craft for the item
could take a look at the log if you wanna DM it @wheat plume (no worries if you wanna keep it private)
:rage
like if you need to desynth a metal weapon, you'd need blacksmithing
as such desynth isn't all that great unless you have all 6 of the main crafts to 30+(alch is only books and some other very rare things and cul is only fishes)
This is why we usually recommend levelling all the crafters at once
i mean
just vendor stuff/turn in greens for expert delivery at GC for seals, desynthing is mostly only good if you're planning on leveling crafters since it gives free mats, but even then it can be a big clusterfuck if you desynth various level ranges and don't actually save much space(you'll get various ingots cloth leather etc plus desynth specific items)

great, I'll send it
maybe
Yeah might be worth sorting your armory chest
If its not being used and has a shop selling price sell it to a vendor
what is the deposit wchich will be required for 6.1 lottery for housing ?

How difficult is bard rotation wise?
guys now that ive done the relic weapon for arr, do i need another 9 books for another relic weapon?
Probs a stupid question but can you get the glam from bind eternal without actually marrying/finishing the questline?
Does the Charlemend delivery item patient necessities ever turn up for weekly deliveries after that first time?
it can once you max him out
Because I've had some extras I've been looking to offload for weeks.
But it never shows up!
I only said it can
Had an issue like this once before though... took four months for it to turn up. x.x
Whether or not it does is rng
rng do be rng
It's possible to roll a dice a thousand times and never see a 1
I got my paladin to level 50 but I can’t equip a sword in my glam dresser
Is your current sword below lv50
does hoh 21-30 always give 520k xp or will it go up with my lv?
Scaling exp
in fflogs, can I see the list of all logs for a battle done by different players, and order them in DPS from max to min?
Have we always been able to specify how many items we can put into the Doman Enclave donation basket from a stack?
Or is that a recent addition?
always could
You split it first I guess is what I mean
I right-clicked the wrong option.
I just noticed there's no NG+ for Endwalker. Any clue on when that'll be available?
And for some reason, you still can't split stacks while "occupied." <_<
Scales but caps at 70
6.1
yeah from 70-80 best is bozja right
71
are all logs in fflogs for clears? or how can I know if one has the clear or not?
All the alliance raids from stormblood
Clears
yes, you need to find the specific battle from the main menu and click rankings > damage
Thanks. I feel like I wasn't in the best mood when I went through it the first time and wanted to give it another go.
Look khell if you have more questions I think fflogs has its own discord
Ng+ was new in ShB so we didn't know for a while but they confirmed 6.1 a little while ago
so what do I do with all the alexander bits and bops?
Exchange it for gear or toss it
you can go to Rankings for fights
from tehre you can sort by job and region etc.
would i580 gear suffice for 6.1's alliance raid?
going by past ARs (especially rabanastre and copied factory)
yeah
By the time it comes out, you'll have been able to get your hands on at least a few pieces of Astronomy tomestone gear as well, even if you don't do Savage, so you shouldn't have much of an issue I don't think.
whats this?
Sometimes doing certain content impacts dialogue
so you would use that to keep or remove the change/extra dialogue

so does it change the just dialogue or the story?
nothing changes the story
just dialogue
for example, if you completed the stormblood raids, characters from that raid series may show up later
but for players who didn’t complete them, those characters won’t appear
checking/unchecking that box toggles the completion requirement so you can see both versions of the cutscenes
Or calling you something else
for this case its the wyrm's roar, a post-ARR quest
not right now but i have it at 60
Garlandtools has all the additional text
that’ll do it
That each quest has
the quest refers to you as ||the azure dragoon|| yes?
that’s locked behind getting drg to 50
for player who played that cutscene without getting drg to 50, they won’t be referred to as that
So do I unlock the normal raid and then alliance raid for the EW content? Or is it alliance and then normals?
is this it?
The alliance raid isn’t out yet
So it’s just a normal set then?
no, that’s just the flag for the player gender
yeah, that’s the dialogue change reflected by the quest progression box
It’s lore but they’re still optional dungeons
so even if i wasnt playing as a drg i would see the dialogue change because i did the job quests?
yes
thats cool
your character still did the same things even if you’re on a different job so the npcs recognise that
what gear do i get for lvl 90 gatherers
what coffers drop from p2s?

Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer
Third Floor:

Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer
Fourth Floor:

What is the best lv90 gear I can get quickly?
HQ classical from the marketboard
There is no lv90 version of cryptlurker?
does anyone know from which arr crystal tower quest this is from?
there is but it's max 450 tomestones a week
Is it in old sharlayan?
Radz-a-hans
tomestone gear is in radz-at-han
As standard
there's i570 gear for aphorism which you can farm, i580 crafted which you can buy, i580 from weekly pandaemonium normal drops, i590 weekly capped astrology tome gear, i600 weekly capped savage pandaemonium drops
so if you want best + quickest, it's crafted
Do higher tier Diadem materials give more scrips
If I start a level 1 Thaumaturge and enter Potd, am I considered a Black Mage with access to Black Mage skills up to level 60?
No
no, thaumaturge skills only
you're considered a level 60 thm
So when I get to 30 I can unlock BLM and then what I said will be true?
you have to get your job stone to be considered a blm
yes, you'll have access to all blm skills up to 60
Which is kinda worthless
ah, thats no problem
Because classes stop learning skills at like 50
It took me 50 hours personally, but I didnt do anything but the MSQ
tips on spending poetics for gil?

is their any deliveries or levemete for lv 80 DoH o and DoH?
Id say yes to that
I stuck with one class the whole time
(note I tried other classes later, but that was by the time I got to HW)
I reeeeally wanted to get past ARR before thinking of anything else
yes, in the Crystarium
Sorry I should be more clear, I finished the main story in 50 hours. This does not include ARR post patch content
aka 2.1-2.55
what do i do with the gear obtained from the pandaemonium?
Is there a place for FT users to store furniture?
this might seem like an odd question, but is there any way to get the game to stay on a different opening cgi?
Like this tiger thing 🙂
you turn it in for gear in radz or aporia.
i'm at radz but dunno who to talk to
is p4s even pug-able
couple of my friends have pugged successfully, just accept that you're gonna need to put in some time.
well I'm shit at the game so I could use the practice
Post ARR is pretty long
I would do it sooner rather than later, as the longer you wait the more people will have better gear and thus p3s won't be so much of a gate for worse players, making p4s even more annoying to pug.
it is also pretty dry
It's also painful
using number of quests as an example, all of ARR post patches included is 1/3 of all of the MSQ by itself
all of ARR + all of HW is 1/2
but you could just jump straight to p4s right? I don't even care about the gear for the first 3
Oh you can't? guess I'm 
it'll stay that way till 6.2
Hi all, just finishing stormblood and would like to have a go at getting the Ixion mount , ive had a quick look into how to do it but anyone know of anywhere that actually tracks ixion's fate appearance? I'm not really able to keep checking to see if its spawned so any advice on how to know when it's coming would be great, or even any parties i could join up with ?
Ok guess I'm too dumb to even attempt progging 
you can skip if you're in a party with someone who has already cleared previous floors
i doubt anyone would carry you into p4s w/o savage experience, though
wait im a level 50 BLM, but somehow in prae i was gaining mana while in fire stance? im not seeing any free mana regen buff or anything...is there something im missing? on the 1st ultima weapon fight
the checks are tight.
thank you
you have a small passive mana regen, also lucid dream
recommend to join either the centurio hunt discord or faloop discord as they call out world boss fates like that
fire stance prevents lucid dream regen and passive regen though
^
ah thanks, ill google them now
momma hydaelyn restores your MP to full multiple times during that fight
very fun for DRK

Hmm, thinking that in spite of the small ilevel difference, it's probably best to stick with augmented cryptlurker's accessories over phyrgian accessories.
dont bother with leveling crafting gear
poetics will serve you fine until cap
and dung. drops
Yeah but I get the coffers.
So save em
But now I think I'll use the rest for a different job.
I'mma still use the ones for main equipment for my main job tho, 'cause I like to change up my look as the story progresses!
is there a less boring way to get to 71 for a DPS than running potd/hoh all day?
no roulette, that's like 30 min queue lol
oh sorry, just 25
Also you shouldn't really be spamming roulettes for leveling honestly.
Never do that
I use the daily roulette bonus on a tank
You only get those bonuses once per day.
And find something you can dual-path if you do get long queues.
yeah? not super long queue times?
i can guarantee it won't actually take 25 mins either, depending on what roul you do. alliance and frontlines should be nigh instant
I have two questions:
- What's the fastest Shadow of Mhach raid?
- What's the fastest Return to Ivalice raid?
yea queuing with one healer/tank outside alliance raids makes your queues under 5m
i'm solo, so that's not an option
i guess ill try spamming dungeons, maybe the queue isn't that bad like Sen said
void ark, raba
Thanks.
Resistance Weapon 
Can't wait to do 180 raids...
just do alliance roul and frontlines, that should get you nearly to 70
whats a 180 raid?
also since it's weekly reset be sure to do your WT as well.
i've never heard of that raid
oh
you really need to run it 180 times for the relic?
No
yes, but it's a number of different raids.
There's a step in the ShB relic weapon grind where you have to do either 30 Fates and 30 CEs in each of the three Zadnor zones, for a total of 180 events, or 30 and 30 of each HW, SB, and ShB 8-man raid series, for drop collection to turn in.
oh wow that sounds super tedious indeed
normal raid roul is pretty populated so it won't take that long, honestly.
and if no one is doing Zadnor, you can knock out most of the Fates you need solo, but the CEs will never pop
Yeah this step gets skipped on repeat relics
so you'
you're stuck with 8-mans
I also detested running around in Zadnor by myself even when it was current, so I did the raids. Would pick five I liked from each expansion (2 for one drop and 3 for another), and just keep mashing Join and then, like, playing Fire Emblem or something while I waited.
what are the differences between the 3 kinds of dps on fflogs? aDPS, rDPS, nDPS
!faq rdps
- neutral DPS (nDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received
- RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
- Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
- adjusted DPS (aDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)
oh cool thanks
is there anything i can do with an old chloe journal that i didnt finish?
If it says it's expired, no, just discard it. Or Khloe will take it from you after telling you how bad it smells if you talk to her.
ok thanks
what was the min ilvl for TTAPB/Nier 3?
495
Base it on copied factory
what what nier 1's min ilvl?
435
565 is the ilvl for asphodelos, so i'd suspect the min for alliance would be 570 or 575
Yeah cause eden was 10 below copied
which raid drops the weapon token ?
or do you have to do all 4
talking about normal panda
4
ok
p4n is the one that drops the token for the weapon
jsut that i dont bite myself
but no reason to continue running all of them if i outgear them right ?
or other jobs
mh unless you want something for glam/alt jobs
ok thank you
doing them you also have a chance of getting more tomes from first time bonuses
true but nothing " important" like the weapon token for a healer xD
p2s as it has a chance to just directly drop a discal tomestone
oh im doing savage already
just beat p3s
just that healers and tanks get equipped after dps in our static
is one week of tomes enough to buy a necklace?
375
ah nice

is BLM supposed to be rough on trash? stuff always seems to die before my casts go off, specially in alli raids
tryin to pre-emptively target something tahtll be alive, but sometimes it just doesn happen lol
Only on trivial content
yea i just got my BLM to 50, so i guess that makes sense
Basically, alliance raids at 50 are severely out geared. This is less of a problem on content that isn't so outgeared.
Still is annoying occasionally
i unlocked fang and claw but i cant find how to get the effect of sharper in order to use it
it's a sneaky one, it gets added to your tooltips without any indication
it continues your regular combo chain
Yep, and you will soon get your 5th combo (and they alternate order for the other combo) or some such thing.
also on BLM, is there much point to holding free thunder procs? seems like the frontloaded dmg outweighs the fact id be resetting the dot
always spend right away them unless doing so hinders you in some way
It can be worth it for upcoming movement (if you know it is coming)
for example if your astral fire is about to fall off
same for fire ones i imagine?
yea theres that micro adjustment for saving a fire 3/lighting proc for movement
while you're holding one, any further procs are effectively wasted
or fire 3 when i need to swap stance for regen
Not true outside of trash pulls
Holding procs is a valid method of play
7 weeks of completing p4n
O.O
(The sword tokens)
7 sword = discal
discal
You only use firestarter procs right away at sub 60 without fire iv
i mean like...3 fire orbs is what...30% boosted fire potency? plus teh passive dmg potency traits we get
Not at all
No?
Thunderclouds can be held for dot refresh or when proc is about to expire
figured the 400 potency up front of a thunder 3 would be worth it no?
Not compared to a fire iv
Optional content is optional
well yeah, you barely get firestarter after you get fire4, was really mainly focusing on thunder
oh i dont have fire IV yet
Which is buffed 1.8x by af3
You can always just get the tomestone gear for now and wait for new content you want to do (upcoming alliance raids, perhaps).
oh 3 orbs is 1.8x? dang
And even then you'd fish for f3p which are still potentially more valuable
only 52, so dont have all that much
!action fire iii
yeah so far usually i apply lightning, then fire 3 > fire 1 spam wiht f3ps, and then ice 3 to swap, and a lightning/ice depending on which one works better, then back to fire
for bosses
F3p are 432 pot
@little swift yeah...I'm still traumatized by my terrible runs of all the normal EW trials, so i really don't want to do pandemonium if I don't have to
So its still a gain
Just get better dude
it's why I've been hustling to make money to buy i580 crafted gear
They’re there so you can learn
Everyone messes up on their first runs, since they probably don’t know the fight
if normal EW trials were enough to get me someone who harassed me with angry tells after an abandoned attempt, i really don't want to know how pandemonium can inflame people
is there anyway to see how many daily beast tribe quests i have left without going to a beast tribe?
if you want to get better gear, you have to do the raids and learn how to do them properly. they're not hard.
ty
but that 432 potency is effectively on a 40% proc rate, since you fish for f3p with f1 right?
1 person, out of tens of thousands
this is assuming no fire/ice 4
sucks you had a bad experience and if thats the way you feel then there's honestly 0 reason to gear past whats needed to get you to the next patch
shit happens
which is to say you don't even need to get crafted, uncapped tomestone gear is more than plenty
gotta keep going
yes but you're also relying on proc rng for tcloud procs
its 10% per tick
f1 is still a consistent 324 pot
didnt realize 3 fire orbs was a 1.8 multiplier...thought it was lower
dont think the game gave me a hard number about it anywhere
I'm painfully aware of my skill ceiling, it's why I will never touch savage+ raids
so till i hit 60, it's basically spam f1 with f3p, and just reapply lightning?
Okay but normal ≠Savage
!faq blmleveling
@pure copper i'm sure you've seen this before but here it is again
i havent actually
honestly savage is a lot more accessible than people make it out to be.
its mostly a mental thing
also, with how a lot of BLM casts actually last longer than teh GCD, does that ever get better?
if you say you can't do it your experience is automatically marred by your lack of will/confidence
!action leylines
that also reduces GCD though accordingly
its also why lots of blm meld sets/gear sets have a healthy amount of spell speed
so wouldnt your cast still be longer than GCD?
yes but its more comfortable
ah
also, is it just me, or do f3ps show up on the UI a bit earlier than when the skill actuallly finishes casting? i imagine it's related to the mechanic behind slidecasting
yes you are correct
so if you have a big brain for reactions its a lot easier to not cancel f1s/overwrite procs
but its hardly a gigantic issue since your rotation changes in 8 levels
do you get poetics playing unsynced?
also, is it worth refreshing thunder while in fire stance, or do i want to wait for ice no matter what?
What does this warning mean?
Yeah that should not be happening
I had it with p2s but had to google an image of what it is
since i forgot to screenshot
You go into a later step you forfeit the earlier rewards
The end
No second chances
No ifs and or buts
Does doing Levequests grant more Spiritbond EXP?
No
Ohhh so I shouldnt have tried to do p2s first, do p1s first then?
If you already went in you fucked yourself
No P1S rewards til next week
u lost loot on p1s then for hte week yeah
Do you still need stuff from 1, because if not
Even entering locks you out
It's week 3,thats not really a question atm
At earlier levels refreshing in ice will pretty much line up due to shorter fire phases. But later as it increases its fine to refresh in fire as needed. You also don't have access to too many filler gcds so a t3 in ice is good
rip then i went in but we couldnt clear
sadge
thats a bit of a dumb system tho
That’s how it is, and will continue to be
on NA i really can't do high end content due to high ping... though I admit I don't have that issue on my JP char
and to be honest, I'm terrified of the very real possibility of being cast out or even blacklisted by people because i caused wipes/lockout almost entirely due to a mechanic i failed or failure to perfectly play
so is it the same with p1s if i tried that first and we couldnt clear in the time, would we get no reward?
not to mention my poor personal endurance
Savage has enough leeway for deaths and still be clearable. And wipes are common and how you learn.
But you do you. Just know the normal modes are supposed to be low barrier of entry content
is there no non-plugin way to have % hp of a party member display like for mobs
By how much does overmelding your gathering / crafting gear speed up Spiritbond gain? I have "normal melded" gathering gear, gathered 200 Annite and got ... 1 1/2 %
I think it is something like 20% of the base gain per materia (whether normal meld or overmeld).
I even drank a spiritbond potion but at this pace I will need several hours to fill the bar once and I heared people doing a full set of extraction in like an hour
how come the materia i melded into my axe is 0?
Maxed skill speed for the gear
oh
In the Melding Screen you see what the max value for each stat can be
i see
Basically it is always the case: The highest secondary stat on any piece of equipment is already maxed and can not be raised further
annite is a lvl 87 item so it's going to be a lot slower than if you were mining 89-90 items. Also you're better off whacking legendary nodes because you get anywhere between 25-40% SB with a hq pot and pentameld
Basically, HQ and each materia is equal to a +1 (via the buffs/potion) and each +1 is worth 20%. Some methods have a max of +5 effect. What you are attempting to do is also a large factor. Going from memory here and I recommend you look up some resources on the topic.
thx!
Googling the topic most often results in posts from 2015 or something

Is the 590 ilvl gear better than pentamelded 580 crafted gear?
99% yes
is there a good website for job guides? for rotation etc. Kind of a catch all, like icy veins
You could use icy veins
as far as i can tell icy veins only has some jobs :(
Should I run Palace of the Dead floors 1-10 or 51-60? What is better?
People are busy playing the game 🙂 There are other resources available such as discord servers. Not sure if anywhere has ALL jobs figured out.
hello, my buddy is looking to buy FFXIV endwalker collectors edition he's on mog station and at the screen to add CC but we are wondering what's gonna happen when he buys it through square enix even though it says they aren't currently selling it online.
The only thing available to buy is the expansion. If he doesn't already own the base game he will have to wait until it is available to purchase as well.
does the collectors edition not include All Base packs aswell?
All expansions but not the base game
.... WHY SE
It will be available soon
Nothing silly about it.
too many people are playing. SE has to prioritize current paying players 
the queue times were silly lol
im on a more empty server and it took 3-4 hours to get in
Agree to disagree
Not the place, dude
so rent servers until you have your own infrastructure to accommodate
If it was so easy SE would have done so
i mean if you look above it has to do with the original question i had asked but i can move to the #rants
Considering the channel yes
Yes you guys prolly should.
what gives the most XP between first leveling roulette and highest doable dungeon ?
Depends on what you get in the leveling roulette. The leveling roulette is pretty much always worth the time though.
would it make any sense to buy this for mrd -> war when i'm going to pay another one to switch to GNB anyways?
you can't switch from WAR -> GNB
can I lock the main menu to the one I like? or will it always be the endwalker one?
if you want GNB, you need to level your MRD to lv 60, then switch to GNB
locked, yeah
wow so it was a mistake. TYVM bestie
yeah i don't have many options for my venturer :(
Idk what Modern Vocation even is tbh
retainer stuff
That is probably why the question was answered by a person who did. =)
Ah I see. Was wondering what it had to do with job switches. Thank you
no worries, the retainre breakpoint usually isn't that high
and all tanks share gears, unless you want to use your retainer to preview glamour on certain race/job or something like that
I'm aware. I asked here since I didn't know and couldn't find it online. Got curious about the question :)

for aether, is there any point to being in faloop? it just redirects you to the aether hunt discord anyway
ok thought as much from reading some of the info
Ah
where can I find vendor gear for lv70? I want to gear alt jobs but need to spend poetics for relic stuff
kugane the vendor is at the aetherite crystal
thanks
ive been trying to re-sub to ffxiv after a year now, but everytime i put in my card I get an error message, but I get charged the $1 to my account. Is there anything I can do to fix this? is it bc I'm using a new card?
I tried to contact support and they told me to use a valid payment method, but im pretty sure im paying the same way i did before
if i just wanna practice rotations without having to wait for stuff like PLD FoF, are teh dummies outside major cities my main places?
You might be interested in Stone, Sky, Sea
yeah SSS is nice too
but if you want to practice your rotation to 10 mins continuously or something
Basically a timed, instanced dummy
cant even use the balance sheets cuz those assume max level tho rip
does anyone know if it's possible to get Spriggan Jacket? seems like it was an event item ages ago but i just saw someone wearing it and i need it i think but can't find it anywhere
previous event items that isn't available usually gone to mogstation
Looks like you can buy it on the mogstation
ok thanks!
Can all gear be gotten again if you sell/loose it? For example the valor gear you get from the pala questline
Most gear can be re-received at the calamity salvager
If you are curious if you can discard something see if it has a vendor price.
If it’s 60 gear you get it from the ishgard centurio exchange
Is fire or blizzard 3 used over blizzard and fire 1 once you get it
thanks
Only to switch between ice/fire mode or with firestarter proc.
So have them both on hotbar?
Yep, you will eventually need Fire 1/2/3/4 Blizzard 1/2/3/4 all on the bar
Ok
well, maaaybe not bliz 1
Yes. Fire 3 is too expensive mana wise to use in fire phase. Scathe is for movement if you have no other options.
scathe is a last resort need to dps while moving
Unless you are running around for extended mechanics and dont have swift cast or triple cast
are theorycrafted ShB rotations from 5.x worth learning for tanks? or are they different enough to disregard if im just leveling
about the same usually
Most would say you don't have to worry about rotations until you are at max level. If you find it fun, tank rotations shouldn't be much different at that level.
Other jobs may be too different though.
yea im kinda realizing i havent touched PLD in long enough
but i unlocked the magic rotation (bar confetti) somehow, so trying to figure that out
afaik that onne you use on your last requicast
yea
Honestly, you could just 1-2-3 and mitigate and you will be fine to get through leveling content.
not sure, usually it's pretty intuitive when you look at the actions and tooltips
also GCD timers are all over the place so that messes things up while leveling i guess
so I never looked up guide to "optimised" something like that
feelsbad leaving dps on the table, but guess it's not worth the effort to squeeze out that extra 5% or w.e across all teh various levels u can run a dungeon at
with leveling you already know your rotation from leveling itself its just easy memory you already know what to do
Dungeons is mostly spamming aoes and spacing out cooldowns. 8 man content is the opposite. No aoes and stack all the cooldowns.
In leveling dungeons as long as you're pushing the buttons that glow in order, and (as a tank or healer) using your cds when necessary you're going to be fine.
and hoping your healer realises they arent just a healer
Or hoping they remember they're not just a dps
If you're alive it is good enough smh my head
I was thinking more of times when I forget I'm the healer and the tank dies. But this is getting off topic.
If a tenant is on another world, will it still tell them if you change/revoke permissions? What about if you leave an estate while the owner is on another world, will it tell them?
Will my weekly reward on p1s and p2s disappear if i practice p3s? or does it only disappear when i complete p3s?
You can't be a tenant for housing if you're not sharing a home world
Yes
The moment you enter it's gone
we are sharing a home world
they're jsut visiting another world atm
Not like there's a GIANT WARNING on the duty finder telling you this
signs and warning means nothing because i cant read

what's the point of item colors if green 505 has better stats than blue 500?
usually indicates where its fromt
Item colors are basically a way tell the content/method you get it
I think Blue means just tome gears
item level indicates its "power"
means you need to spend some sort of currency to get the blue gears
White = leveling crafted gear/glamour items
Green = dungeon gear/level cap crafted items, and a few others
Blue = Trial/Tomestone/Raid gear
Purple = relics
not to mention there's a few blue crafted items
oooo ok
Many little annoying exceptions
is it possible to make a macro that casts loom (BLU) instantly as far forwards as possible?
oh wow i thought it was directly related to stats like some other game
ty
Maybe with <mo> and the setting that makes it execute at max range if your mouse is past that?
But no subcommand that will always do max range
Are you not using cryptlurker?
<mo> only works on targets, but the setting you mentioned was a good idea. simply casting the spell twice with that setting on and the cursor at the top of the screen did the trick. ty
i'm using what SE very generously donated to me ||during patch 6.0 so i barely get over the item level limit for the last MSQ dungeon of shadowbringers||
||2 coffers for literally every slot blue 500 except one ring||
Cryptlurker’s 530, just saying. And it’s not like you’ll be using your poetics in EW areas
at least i put materia 8 on every slot :(
i will consider it. i never bought gear cuz i don't get to use it for more than 3 dungeons
thank you
how can i tell which materia tier is the highest that fits into a given item ?
edit: i figured it out. materia tooltip says ilvl
wait im watching this vid on some battle mechanics, and it says enemy cast bars snapshot the target at the time of cast? not when the cast finishes?
No? They snapshot at the end of the cast.
Otherwise nobody would ever have a chance to get out of mechanics.
They snapshot right as the cast goes off/finishes.
alright
there's a few things snapshot at the start, such as tank target for most tank busters that have 2 consecutive hits
so the main tank is snapshot targetted at the start, offtank provoke mid cast, first hit goes off on main tank, second hit on off tank
but yeah for the most part stuff snapshots at the end, positions, debuffs and such
if i opened a support ticket with SE last night and i havent gotten so much as an auto-reply email the next afternoon should i be worried? I dont even see a livechat function available
Is there no way to purchase a year subscription anymore?
You never could?
Yes it’s 6 months is the most you can buy at once
I have my first crafter maxed out, what are the best ways to get some gils with only one crafter max level?
There really isn’t
😢
its understanding the market supply and demand
They all kind of work together. But you can craft mats within that one crafter to sell
just craft whatever you can craft that makes money with your skill, gonna depend on server, mat price and so on, can't really tell you, you have to check it out
Is there a recommended aetherpool level for each floor? I know there's a minimum but I have a feeling that it'll be a bad time trying to solo at min
(For POTD)
Solo basically requires being at the max for an easy time
And even then it can be really rough, like the floor 20 boss
Oof. Was hoping to just grind the levels solo since matched parties tend to just speedrun and skip chests.
You can make a Potd party
So im at radz-at-han trying to buy from the tome vendor and it says something about needing to be referred...how does one accomplish that
Complete the story
like all of endwalker?
Yah
you can farm solo, just needs to reset more often, or have sustaining potions
walking in 90 gear b4 the end kek
also if you're playing a tank or a healer, or rdm to an extent(need to be high lvl enough for vercure), you can farm with low aetherpool solo
Tank/healer feels slow. But yeah, I guess i'll just suffer lol
you should pull more than one mob when playing these
and pop strength pomanders often
ultimately it's gonna be kinda slow regardless, solo potd is just that way, if you have 51 start unlocked you can just farm that in parties
can get to 70-75 easily off that, and then you can solo the rest fine with any class normally, back when I was doing potd solo runs I'd always turn in 20 aetherpool for grips before starting my run and I'd usually hit 99/99 at like floor 110 or so
How high can i get spamming 51-60? The chances get worse at some point right
as I said, 70-75 pretty easily
you can get all the way to 99 in there but it's slower the higher you are, but 70 should be somewhat fast
Hello! So, in a surprising turn of events, finding a static is difficult and I just got ghosted by mine.
I found the one I had trough a Recruiter discord but they got hacked and I left that discord.
Does someone know where can I post an add so I can find a static again? I will highly appreciate it
Thanks
Party finder, r/ffxivrecruitment, recruitment discords in #resources for your data centre
Oh! Thank you! I will check that out

There is no way to change our summons as a summoner right? just bahamut and Phoenix as far as we're aware?
Cuz I wish i could change my Titan and Garuda summon via egi/summon glam to Ifrit, but i dont think thats possible yet unless im wrong?
I see no love for Stormblood lol. Is it butt? Finishing Heavansward and might do stuff like POTD and anima bow before going into it
Should I run Palace of the Dead floors 1-10 or 51-60? What is better EXP? My alts are lvl 20-40 rn.
it's good, it just pales in comparison to the two great expansions it's between
51-60
nope, you can only change carbuncle colour and summon size
Is there a guide for EW Crafter Spiritbond farming?
if you clear a savage, but don't roll on any loot, can you still participate in 2 chests?
no
you won't be able to roll, and you will reduce the run to 1 chest
or 0 depending on how many others have cleared
so i shouldve rolled on my first clear?
probably
subsequent clears i won't be able to roll at all?
you can't see any more savage loot until next tuesday for the boss you already cleared
ah that's lame
sorry for the late reply, i was using my debit card
it usually works, so i’m not sure what the issue is
i’ll try, i’m just nervous that it’ll do it with crysta too
do i need to register a payment method before paying?
anyone getting black screen during cutscene? A friend of mine getting black screen during cutscene on Ps5
Yeah okay i thought so , ty
It's always ticking down even when you're offline if that's what you're asking
I notice some players (in YT videos) have fancy idle animations while their weapon is out. Does that happen if you stand still long enough with your weapon out, or is it a special emote?
/cpose
And there's a setting for it to enable automatically after a certain amount of time
anyone getting black screen during cutscene? A friend of mine getting black screen during cutscene on Ps5
Is there a quick gear png guide for the newest update?
Im a bit overwhelmed by all of the different totems mixed with the poetics
there's a gearing up infographic on the reddit somewhere
ty, ill go r search it
Nah just lvl 30
Job gear > aphorism > ex/pandemonium/crafted > Astronomy > savage
does anyone know if you sometimes have to wait a day for the automated response to a square enix support ticket and not an email about your ticket actually being addressed
yeah thats the one
if anyone else is looking for the gearing info guide for 6.05
so normal raid gear is pretty useless in the long haul since poetics will replace that ivl
if i understand right
not useless
it's a free stepping stone
Poetics have no use at 90
it takes time to get Astronomy tomestones
Well I dont mean useless, just quicker to replace
time gated
