Do we know whats coming in 6.08?
class buffs
So I'm level 90 done all MSQ and I am trying to unlock extreme trials from ARR for (Ifrit,Titan,Garuda) but dont have quests for them. Looking on the wiki Extremes unlock after Hard, which I have unlocked. But I cannot find the quests to unlock extremes anywhere, I've tried waking sands/ rising stone (mor dhona).
Have you actually completed the Hard trials?
And are any of the extreme trial quests there?
So I have completed the Hard Trials (they have the green tick on duty list), and no I cant seem to find any extreme quests
Do I have to complete the weekly savages in order? I tried to join a P2S group before running P1S for the week, and got some warning about forfeiting rewards or something to that effect
Yes, skipping floors forfeits loot for the floors you skipped
If you load into P2S without completing P1S, you will automatically give up a chance at rolling for P1S loot
gotcha, thanks!!
If you want most loot, do them in order
If you already have loot from previous floors or not interested in it, you're more than welcome to just skip
sounds good, ty!
are there any more classic final fantasy jobs they can add in next expansions? or will they need to make them from scratch from now on like with reaper
im curious cause i have never played another final fantasy game beside this

theres like a p big list of unused FF jobs left
There are a lot that haven't been used
oh cool
just go look at bravely default
it's a game heavily inspired by FF and has a ton of classes that could be cool
How do you hide player names on fflogs?
There arent a ton of iconic jobs left that haven't already been added so your guess would be as good as mine
There are still some. For instance, two of the Jobs that were speculated for EW were Chemist and Beast Master.
what's the command for kupobot to show the meaning of dps, rdps, ndps in fflogs?
from the things i saw only geomancer looks very iconic but I must say I would main the shit out of something like puppetmaster or mime, I love their aesthetic so much

thxs
where do I start the current event?
a friend of mine told me that your squadron can do emotes, and sure enough, when I go into g post, it says players and squadron members. but how do I make them actually do the emotes?
gridania by the amphitheater, I believe
thx
How long does it take to do msq?
with cutscene anywhere from 2 months to well as long as you make it
just do it, it's a giant chunk of the game's content
don't rush it
enjoy it
You just need to select them and it should work like it does for your own character
Lol well I can always rewatch cutscenes since this is my 3rd char
Why not just buy a skip
why do you need a 3rd character....
ye
200 hours estimated if you watch+read everything
I have no life and don't wanna spend money rn lol
its about 40 hours for each expansion
If you skip everything probably about half that or less
Ok
but... why do you need a 3rd character, you can play all jobs and do all content on 1 character, if you litearlly finished all of the games content twice which i doubt I would advice playing another game. if you want to replay the story for the sake of replaying the story then just enjoy yourself i guess
Just bored a bit n kk
You can replay the story on NG+ btw
Just finished ARR msq's how long till I get to heavensward and how long til I hit endwalker hour wise
If you finished base arr as in||just finished praetorium|| you're about 80+ quests away from hw
Damn
And thats about 25 hours maybe? Including the crystal tower raid questline which is mandatory
You're definitely a ways away from endwalker
And also what's the fastest way to lvl to 30
People just do hunt log that low
I'm a lvl 52 dragoon rn but I wanna get into playing bard music
!faq altlvlguide
Hunting log won't carry you through that much on subsequent ranks for the log. Rank 1 is fine since your exp amount required per level is low but after that
gotta be in a dungeon I suppose, then? Was trying to get a group shot lol guess I can't have them all in it?
Dungeon spam is most bang for your time once you get to 15 if your queues don't suck
Are there any Japanese speaking users I can talk to?
I am currently failing my Japanese class
Wrong server?
Not really particularly the place to ask this
But you could probably ask one of our translation team members?
Idk how receptive they'll be about it
I've never tried it outside of them actually being in a party with me but if it's not working in the barracks then yeah you probably need to take them out on a mission to do it
So they revamped the mogstation page, where do I buy fantasias now?
rip big group shot then lol ty Tessia!
Also I got my phantasia can I use it not change and back out of character creation without using it
Right click the name and click log in I think
wait misread. I think you can back off, yes.
Nice, yall think it's sus to be male cat boy?
why?? no
Why would it
Idk some one said male cat boys are sus lol
memes, i'm sure
yes very sus
Not the channel for silliness
Next time consider taking this kind of question to #beginner-lounge or #general-discussion as those are more appropriate places for discussion questions

Ok thx lol
im trynna do heaven on high to lvl from 60 to 70 on my Bard i just did the one quest and when i try to queue up it says "unable to register. class/job requirements unmet," ive done all class quests idk what it could be?
You need to be 61
oh someone told me to do potd to 60 thewn do heaven on high guess i gotta farm potd til 61 then?
That’s a straight lie
idk i did all roulettes yesterday at like 57 exept main scenario cuz i couldnt be bothereed i didnt even lvl up
Leveling, msq, alliance, and frontline give the most
A bit of free damage and gives 40 Ninki gauge at level 66+
also, when can u use trick atk on bosses? i just got forced out of hide in haukke manor
Suiton
You use Suiton to allow "hidden required" actions and then you can TA
anyway to stop this overlap besides going into /hud and turning the hotbars on/off? i wanna try and have it so when i switch between controller/keyboard it goes to whatever hotbars are default
cant u do a macro for toggling stuff like that
i might be missing something, but i can't find a command for it
/hotbar display # [on|off] and /chotbar for cross hotbar
If you leave out on/off, it will toggle
Is it a Realm Reborn for the base game on ps4?
The base game is typically called Standard Edition, which includes A Realm Reborn
How do I filter market board for like... levle 86 gear?
Any idea when the new alliance raid will be released?
Or even better, is there a place I can buy 86?
6.1
6.1, 6.3, 6.5 for the alliance raids
controller on hud layout 1, kbm on hudlayout 2
that way if you want to customise, your hotbar and crossbar won't be convoluted between each other
You see the 1- [insert lvl] thing under the job icons?
there a guide for fastest way to lvl up crafters 1-90?
be rich
Fastest method is buying Leve items and turning them in
You’ll burn through a ton of Gil, but you’ll level up super fast
what's a ton of gil? cause im kind of poor I only have 2 mil
so you got nothing
pretty much
the answer varies since you can buy the complete item , parts an craft it yourself or you travel to other worlds and look at the best prices using kupo bot
1 of em or all of em?
At this point an i580 sch can pretty much faceroll ultima ex solo, right?
definitely
well im gonna start with one of them but im probably gonna lvl all at some point
why would you do it as a sch
you can do it as anything
that's my only 90 with decent gear
I literally have no idea how to play smn lol
Get into collectibles and ishgard restoration to level them all up at the same time as well as weekly deliveries and daily GC turn ins
its very easy to play
congratulations you can now play smn

but seriously it's probably the easiest class in the game right now
doesn't really matter, it's gonna die in no time regardless of what you play
true enough still doing as just a healer is like why better off lvling a dps or a tank if your gonna solo exs for funsies
So I just entered eureka what should I do to get elemental +1 armor? Do fates or farm individual mobs
Hi I don't know what to do with The Will to Live mission, I gotten to wear all of the clothing for the uniform, but I don't have the pants. I can't restart the mission nor I can't reobtain them through the sacks they give me.
What do I do? I checked my inv for it too but it's not there
nor in my Armoury chest
stormblood with yugiri quest?
yes
kk thx
think you can get more from the KOD imperils
Farm mobs
Do fates that are at most 1 level above you
where?
Do your challenge log for quick xp per week
should be near the gate to the base
There are sacks there
but the second bag that contains the pants are not giving it to me
or did the pieces can into your bags and not armory bags?
nope
How long do you think it takes to get the armor?
For the first step of the HW relics, do I need to do the fates on the job I picked? "Soul without life" is the quest name
did you delete them? go to a calamity salvager in one of the main cities and you should get it back
if you didn't it's probably in your bags somewhere. do:
/isearch hakama
A week if you can find groups to farm mobs together
Longer if not
Nah
Oh boy
Perfect, thanks
hello friends what can i do with GC seals? i have a lot of them
will try
er not kabuto, it's hakama
buy cordial , buy a lucky bag for 20k with pet/mount from a exp, dark matter. emotes , ventures . spirit bond pots
k tyvm i will check market board
what why? its not the mb you are looking at its the seal vendor
checking what they can sell from it probably
Just for a list of what's possible in the 20k boxes: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/r7c4h6/grand_company_loot_box_results_megathread/

are mods by nature visible to other players 
just unlocked NIN, and looking at the skill to bind relevant skills close together...are all mudras going to just go off of Ten, Chi, Jin, and Ninjutsu?
For this part of anima I think I could just run the ex unsynced and it would be the faste choice
Could I also desyinth the drop for extra material ?
yes
A faster way is to use Crafters/Gatherers and use scrips
to buy blue scrip tokens
Anyone have a solution to a subscription payment pending? 🤔
Because you're not relying on RNG of getting the material itself or from desynth
But I don’t have a crafter lvled would I end faster if I lvld one ?
Depends how fast you can level the crafter/gatherer 😄
60 iirc to unlock the custom delivery
50 for collectibles
Can I change facial features like freckles at the aesthetician?
No idea what that means, sorry
Out of curiosity, on trash pulls for DRK which cooldowns are best paired with one another?
Can books be farmed between lockouts?
No
gotcha, ty
I would say it depends on ur healer but a safe bet is use the aoe combo if there are more than 4 if not use the meele combo and use tbn on cooldown
Also if they are big pulls don’t panic use defensive have rampant or the other on up not both
If your dps attack the same thing u do u should not loose aggro but ur way is probably safer if u don’t know the others ur are playing with
No, 2+ is just gnb for potency
For keeping aggro it can help, but in general I think it's 3+ for most tanks as you also gain stuff from. 1, 2, 3 on tanks
You gain stuff from your aoe combo
All tanks aoe at 2+ for dmg
!action Stalwart soul
No expert but I believe the aoe combo for drk has no self heal which help ur healer a bit
Gauge and blood
Souleater heal is meaningless in trash pulls
Same reason you don't storm path or brutal shell
Gnb has higher pot so don't rs it on 2+ but I dunno. I've just been told that for si long
For dps it's 3+
Tanks is 2+
Again, you're also gaining resources from your aoe combo
Ie mana and blood for flood/quietus
where to trade wolf mark to materia? did they remove it?
I remember being able to 🤔
or my memory failed me?

click DF cogwheel, tick unrestricted party
I am trying to do 89 trial in extreme: I use PF, people join, we go in and wipe around 3 ish times and everyone leaves... I do not quite understand why
how am I supposed to complete practice at this rate?
Is there a discord for BLU stuff? I really want that mount lol
what's Icarus wing and Regain Feather?
and the issue isn't even with me, in the transmission phase they go follow tanks instead of attacking crystals... and this has happened with 2 different parties
Old PVP consumables that are now just like fireworks
ok ty ty
so it's... completely luck on when I will complete the actual trial?
in practice
You'll eventually get people who actually learn and progress
As with anything in party finder
Make sure you're crystal clear when you set up the PF, on what type of run it is.
Fresh Learn, Blind Prog, Total Practice Party, a "specific mechanic" Prog party, or a Clear party
I can't though because I have never cleared the crystals either
Some people join a Practice Party when they shouldve joined a Prog party instead, or they join a Learn Party when they want a Clear Party, and then they get mad after 3 wipes to the "wrong mechanic" and dip
You'll bang your head against the wall enough times to get through
We've all been through it
Also like use a guide?
So yeah, just be clear about your status and your expectations for the party, in the PF description.
"Crystals Prog party, want to get that down and then practice the mechanics after",
And then when you're comfortable call it a "full clear party, know everything up to enrage, want to make it to enrage and clear" blah blah
People usually leave if there's constant wipes to one mechanic with no one improving
And yeah make sure you read/watch your guide of choice so that you can have a complete understanding before you go in and can execute without having to practice too much
yeah but im not getting any people either way
so
(Or if you DONT want to watch a guide for some reason, then call it a blind prog party and expect to wait even longer longer)
isnt it possible to like practice solo?
Again it's just banging your head against the wall
FC members?
Practice Solo? not for an extreme no - best you can do is study a video over and over and then watch a video of someone else clear with your role
Like studying for a test, you cant actually take the test until you take the test. In this case you have to take it with 7 other people though, so just be ready and set your expectations clearly
i did i have 4 pages of detailed handwritten notes on exactly what to do
kek
i memorized all its attacks and what to do and where to dodge it
Keep it up then! Try your best to avoid players joining who want to prog Mechanic number 4 if you want to prog Mechanics #6, or to avoid getting Learn players when your intent is "this is the clear run", etc.
Do you need something special in addition to a lvl 90 gatherer to gather Kumbhiraskin Skin maps?
So RNG just hates me
So gather there
You have to be in the last zone to get them, as far as I can tell. Thats all
somebody just pmed me
then why does Gamer Escape say they're in Zone 5
Alt r
A tell? you can try Alt+R
Ah yeah it did that for me too I know exactly what you mean. I changed the Razer keybind in the program settings to make it stop doing that 
Just type /r, should work I think
Or right-click their name in the chatbox and select Reply or whatever it is, if on KB+M worst case scenario
For max trial mat yield, should I buy shields, swords, or 10 totem weapons?
oh good to know
Does making HQ items spiritbond faster than normal items?
if you run PotD solo, do you lose all progress once you die, and need to start from 1 again?
yes
oh thats rough
thats why necromancer is such a flex title
its slightly easier now because rpr and sge are quite good for it
mch can kite and dps has alot of CC so it has very good tools for it
sage just heals itself so they cant die i guess?
they have good dmg
in addition to being able to heal themselves
being able to heal yourself isn't the end all, be all for soloing in potd as later floors have dps requirements
I need to go down to lower floors to get more aetherpool (im at 85) and potsherd, so im trying to do a solo run to get better chances at getting them lower down
i was gonna do it as mechanist but now that you guys are saying sage is really good at it too, i might just dothat haha
wait reaper and sage are good for potd too?
sge self heals has good dmg , and rpr is just stupid on all lvls
interesting
does rpr have self healing other than the class skill?
for potsherd farming, ive heard anything under floor 100 sucks
it does but not at 60
arcane crest, blood bath and second wind go a long way (thought arcane crest doesn't have its regen at <60)
still free shield on low cd
does any1 use a gsync monitor and play the game in borderless windowed? I find that I get lots of stutters unlessi play in full screen
is there a way to set borderles windowed to 1080p? I hate playing in a lower res but the full screen option takes ages to alt tab
almost feels like gsync doesn twork in borderless windowed mode
nice thanks for all the good potd info. that'sg onna help to get to 100+
google tells me that (x) hours in the game + entering shadowbringers removes the sprout icon, but i still have it (whatever the hour count is i have it, ive spent way too much time messing around)
Old info
you will miss it when its gone
i feel weird being in shadowbringers as a sprout but i guess to most ppl im still a newbie
or booster
hello,are there world bosses in the game? how i unlock/find them?
certainly not a booster lol. and i dont want to be seen as one
yes and time
those are FATEs
there's some fates that are big bosses
There's no world bosses in the traditional sense
also maybe Hunts? they're tough monsters in the overworld
There's super fates which are invisible to the map with long cd and S ranks which have specific spawn conditions and long Cooldowns
Neither require a unlock
how to unlock?
how i find them ?
Usually Google their spawn conditions and hope they're not on Cooldown
join a hunt train. you cant solo them
^^^^
maybe old arr you could
You can't solo super fates, old expansion S ranks you can up to like maybe shadowbringers
there are some CWLS for hunts i think?
thx for info

is it possible to duo the SB extremes? in terms of mechanics
Yes
You can solo all of the storm blood extremes at 90 apart from Tsu, seiryu and susano
So duo should be fine
Not sure about tsu or seiryu though
But should be fine if it's tank + healer 
Does stormblood extremes give a mount?
Tsukuyomi might need 3 people
Yes
All exs give mounts
waits for 80 blu to solo somehow
All extremes give mounts
Save for like moogle and ultima
Unlikely
does completing a extreme in practice yield any loot?
It doesn't do anything
I got kirin and firebird now I need to see what sb gives
Dogs
Nine Tailed Wolfie
Oh cool
kyuubi
How well can pld solo the bosses at 80? Or do I need 90
Stb - 90 at least
Horribly
war is just kinda stupid
Well that sucks
You can probably duo easily (except tsu, will need 3 maybe)
Waiting for O12S solo /s
how do I get the lean on wall emote?
how often do i need to do the event dungeon to get everything?
Purchased with Skybuilder's scrips from Ishgard's Firmament or bought from MB.
where is that?
Firmament is unlocked via a blue quest in Ishgard's main aetheryte plaza after story progression past a quest named Litany of Peace which is late Heavensward.
Market Board is, well, market board lol
Once for quest
1 more run after that
For the full outfit
Might need 1 more after that for the furniture
jeez
i really dont like it
Rip
though tbh i am ina bad mood
i just wanted to get the event done quickly
instead i have to run this thing two more times
I've won tournament matches before but this is at 0.... what tournaments is this referring to. Obviously not open....
what do u get from doing these? https://i.imgur.com/kYfeSs7.png
just the proper conclusion to the story
the best orchestrion roll ever
Lore
how many dailys for all rewards?
It's a weekly
damn
They're all like 5 minute quests, if that. But you can only do one a week.
6 total if I remember correctly
yep 6
hey... i started the free trial a while ago but only started playing again this week. i was having some problems and wanted to reinstall the game, but i can't ? am i f ckd because they suspended free trials etc?
they only suspended new account creation/registration
i know but i can't find any link to download the game again
!faq freetrial
!faq download
oh thank you !
Can someone explain to me Pandaemonium(?)
I've unlocked ||two|| "raid" duties from it so far. I get what looks like token equipment. Can I only get one token equipment per raid duty, or one for the entire week, or what?
one per duty per week
Does each duty drop different equipment?
What
Ooo that's a nicer map
This is important so you don't fuck yourself over for the week
There's also a chance you don't get ANY loot right?
Yes
Yikes
But you can just rerun
Oh
Only savage locks you out of the loot completely for the week
You can rerun until you get 1 piece of loot
8 drops, 8 players. but if you want a SPECIFIC token and fail the roll on that
yes go again and try again
Each run drops 8 pieces so you can get one per, but you can skip to get a specific loot piece a second time.
But Savage also lets you get everything potentially
Okay so
TL;Dr
Decide what you want before you run
Plan the drops
You cannot get stuff you pass on so use that to your advantage
Normal, it's 1-loot per week.
Savage, it's 1-loot per week but you can't get anymore loot even if you didn't get anything?
If you want helmet and boots
You have to get 1 head and 1 boots from floors 1 and 2
Yes
You can loot all the items from the savage run
But you can only loot on your first clear of the week
Yeah
In savage you can take everytjing
Ring, necklace and bracelet dropped?
Congrats, you got 99 on all 3
Sounds savage
If you lose on all of your rolls in Savage, however, they still give you a token you can use to buy the piece after you get a few.
Yup
Weekly pity token
Those too are only once per floor per week
“Too bad, so sad. See ya next week”
Savage gives 1 book per weekly clear
4 p1 to buy an accessory
6 p2/p3 to buy left side non-chest
8 p4 to buy chest or weapon
I think
I could be wrong on pants and it could need 8
Don't remember
This is all so confusing
That doesn't help though lol
!faq pandaloot
I see this:
The description lists costs
Does that mean I can do the trial and easily get a weapon a week?
Basically, for each panda it drops a loot TOKEN. You use multiple of the loot tokens to turn into gear. You only get 4 of any combination in a week.
You can get it in a day
or does that share with 1 580piece a week
Cause extreme loot is not limited
Oh
You can do 60 runs in a day
So the extreme trial
And get 60 loots
Extreme you farm as much as you want all day long for loot
right?
Yes
Ah
But I doubt I can just duty-finder for extreme
It drops
Coffer + weapon
And a guaranteed totem for you
so if you kill it 10 times without getting a weapon coffer or the weapon you want, you just buy it
Sounds like a mess
Or win the roll on the weapon if it drops. Tokens are only for the remarkably unlucky.
PF =/= DF
Idk if there's groups running it rn
extreme is easier than savage
You can duty finder or party find for extreme.
No
and I've never done current content before
Do not DF extremes
I've always overgeared content
DF only in JPN DC
with poetics
Me neither
But I cleared both extremes and 2/4 panda savage
I believe in you

Even if you do lackluster picks for this week in it, you'll get the concept when you finish all four
Post 4th they show you the vendor and you can get a visual of it all.
Also no need to rush into things. Just take it at your own pace and have fun. Can always fall back on weekly tomes to get a leg up/chip away over time.
That
Tomes of Astronomy gear is part of your Best in Slot
So you can chip away at getting the right pieces for your bis while you do panda Normal and work up the courage to try out savage 
Game buying opens back up the 25th yeah?
Is there any good way to level alt classes other than Dungeon spam? The Hunting Log only gets you 20-23, for example.
1-60 have potd and squadron
60-71 have hoh
71-90 have bozjan and trust
beside dungeon and roulette
What's more or less the rate of fragment drops for Gyr Abania and Far East fates?
Is there a certian time? Wanna get it before the servers enivitably crash
Any advice on how I can improve at dodging mechanics? Something in the settings maybe? I always have trouble seeing stuff around me
It was around 25% according to AkhMorning before the buff
So a bit more than that
minimise effects, turn of full name version of your alliance member
if you haven't
Ok
beside that, it's just practice
thank you 
Character config > Character iirc
Party to limited
Others to off
General recommendation
Should I turn on legacy type?
Personal preference in the end
I am but it just feels awkward for me
then don't use it
Ok
makes it as comfy as possibe
You can change turning to Strafe in the keybinds
Yup
you'll get used to it
It's always hard the first time
If I'm reading this right, PotD has the same problem as dungeons for me, that I'd have to go in as a Healer to level Conjurer, and I absolutely am not confident in that task.
And Savage is harder than that 
i mean
Don't worry about it
we dont need to do savage right
You can solo 1-200 potd as a dps
u dont get anything that u dont get from extreme
Healers aren't necessary in there
Well
In all fairness if you’re just running 51-60 shit dies fast enough
Most potd parties dont even have healers. Or need em.
huh
Question
(As of EW) Would Direct hit rate or DET be better for RDM?
wdym
All hard content is optional
Like fuck I got to 200 with a pug team. And we lost our healer
The highest item level gear is a combination of limited tomestones + savage
oh.
But
I mean that I can't even queue as DPS, as far as I could tell from the Duty Finder yesterday?
like 2 currency instead of 1
If you're not planning on doing savage or extreme
Then you don't need that gear
That’s... very weird, you should be able to queue as any combat class
Do you have a free save slot?
You can only have 2 active save slots for potd, so 2 jobs
Or classes
I didn't look at PotD specifically, this was the main DF for dungeons.
Ah
Hey, quick question. Do they add more loots to the current Treasure Maps?
PotD has a specific separate queue system that’s not in regular DF
The 8man maps got a dungeon added
Dungeon != deep dungeon.
but the loot is the same right?
With more loot in it like the Cloth of Happiness to make the Happiness set
Or the Archangel Wings
And if you can’t queue for leveling roulette as a dps, that likely means your dps class level aint high enough
No clue about that one
By can't queue
Do you mean you can't press Join Queue
Or the queue takes long?
I am so confused
I remember in ShB, it is Sea Cloth and then Frontier Cloth a few patch later
Boots from one
Chest from second
That’s how the raids work, yes
Okay so it's one piece of loot PER RAID then?
I mean I can queue, but the role at the top of DF says Healer and I don't feel confident in that.
Yes
Okay so then I should be doing all the raids then
Queue up as DPS then 
but how come I didn't see this message with the last dungeon I did?
thats just for an extra exp boost
Dungeons don't have the lockout
Only Raids do
Because dungeons aren’t raids?
Dungeon, raid, w/e
It was the 2nd circle
or w/e

Only certain things have weekly lockouts anyway
well if you are a healing class then you have to heal, thats how it works... healing is pretty easy in this game
but I never saw anything
lmao I died so much in 3rd raid but I got a bunch of commendations
I did do a few verraises
including one being the tank when they both died at the same time lol

!faq retainerbp
anyone knows what's the current retainer breakpoint? lv 90?
as you can see it's lv 80
where do i turn pumpkin cookie into gear?
In the theatre area where you finished the quest line
new gridania?
Do you remember where you finished the quest, exactly
because it's right across the road from that exact spot
in the theatre/play section
The amphitheater
It's also the same place where you queue up for the dungeon again (to get more cookies)
where on the map?
Old Gridania
Mih Khetto Amphitheatre aetheryte
Dead smack middle, opposite of the mail moogle
Hi, what is better for reaper, divine light scythe or classical war scythe? Thanks in advance!
Hey, I think I messed with my keybindings. What heading would I find "hide UI" under (or whatever it's called)?
Are wait times really that much different between healers tanks and dps
are you going to pentameld the crafted scythe?
Then divine
I think System or hud
Yup
Healers and tanks get nasty quick queues
DPS can have a couple mins of wait time
Oh that’s not too bad
If I'm looking to join a free company do they have to be in the same server and data center? Or just data center?
Cant fond anyone recruiting in cactaur
Same world
Ah damn
!faq communityfinder
You checked CF?
if someone has already played the free trial on steam before (so already registered it), how can they download it again now?
yo, is there a guide with all obtainable dances?
Can’t you just redownload the demo
cant figure out how
am i misinformed or do i have it right? post-ShB spoilers: ||Red Girl fight in Paradigm's Breach, they died after running away from one of the black/white barriers just as they were spawning in and immediately after being raised||
insta death barriers ignore it yea, so if you get rezzed from lb3 you'll die again instantly
and if you walk into an insta death area it will kill you through invuln
so the 5s of invuln doesn't protect from everything?
Nope
It's like tank invulns
!action hallowed ground

How hard is this tier's Savage for someone who's never done it before/never gave synced EX's a try?
I was planning on Tanking or DPS
Do current EXs first
good idea
Dangit. My picture isn’t sending;^; Idk why though. There’s this certain hair I seen in the collection for final fantasy glam stuff. It’s covered up by a hat but goes really well with the hat
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/64938/tomboy-skating
This glam
How're the EXs, then?
try watching a video on the EXs and see what you think
gotcha
That’s a default hair for uhh Miqo’te, Elezen and Lala women
Can the EX's be pugged through the DF, or are they static-y
yup, most
What’s it called because I actually don’t know the default hairstyle name
Asking because I have no real EX experience or much with the PF
all EXs can be pugged yeah
EXs are easy enough to be pugged
kk
savage is puggable too, fwiw
EX1 is braindead, Ex2 is a basic line extreme with mechanics you would expect to see in an ex
I'm looking at the Endwalker raids and I see this. Does this mean I got 2 rewards from the last raid...?
guess thats the sword and random loot
Do I have this right about the Duty Roulette rewards, the daily tomestones are awarded regardless if you queue as an Adventurer in Need role?
Yep
correct
Ayt. Thanks!
You're guaranteed a blade for a weekly clear
And you can roll for a token like the other 3
in need is just some bonus exp and gil and for some its a i guess token? you can trade for materia
ah kk ty
an the bat doesnt count as loot incase you were curious 
any ideas about this? seems like you just cant redownload the free trial through steam
!faq freetrial
You can't. They've stopped all downloads of the free trial indefinitely.
All of the download links are disabled.
And the pinned thing is just for official launcher, i think
They'll be bringing back the ability to buy the game on Wednesday, but we have no details on when the free trial will be available again. Even if you had it previously.
so its not just new registrations which are disabled, but downloads too? so you can only play on the free trial if you already downloaded it and havent uninstalled it, odd
Yes, it's all new downloads of the game.
nothing odd about it full is full
That includes also new purchases of the game on different platforms by people who already have an active license.
How have the queues been on aether? Still 1000+?
seems kinda odd to only let people play who happen to already have it on their pc, specially since they phrased it as "registrations and sales"
We'll see what happens after Wednesday though.
Anyone who already had the free trial downloaded can also still play.
10k sheesh on eu my worse was like 6k maybe 4k at least
yes thats exactly what I said and exactly what i think is odd
But everyone was restricted to whatever platform(s) they had registered. Not just free trials. Even people who had the full game on PS and wanted to get the PC version couldn't do that.
It's not odd at all.
so if i have the full game and uninstall it, then i wouldnt be able to play till the 25th?
also isnt registering and downloading completely differnet things
Yes, registering and downloading are two separate parts of the process.
Registering means registering your game key to the Mogstation.
Downloading means downloading the game client.
so everyone is restricted to registering, but only free trials are restricted to downloading
You can't download if the game isn't registered to your account.
So everyone is also restricted from downloading if they didn't have the game previously.
That 2nd part isn’t true
You must have a registered game key in order to be able to download the full game client.
ok thats very different to what i have been told
so its just a steam issue, that makes more sense
if you have someone on your friendlist, and you blacklist them, will they be automatically removed from your friendlist?
No
cant remove yourself from other people's friend lists at all
Yup...
i misread nvm
I'm pretty sure that even if you blacklist someone you still have to remove them from your friends list manually.
Yeah
I've never tried it though.
but yea that seems likely, friend list is odd
think their oddly was a case for with ingame stalking
For one, Remove me from people's friends list if they're not on mine
thats good to know then, thanks
Also yeah. Stalking.
Let's not forget that marrying someone gives them a ring that teleports them to you once every 30m
And there's no way for you to get rid of it, they have to yeet it
as many life lessons go pick your friends wisely
And the RAF reward that gives you an item that will allow you to teleport to the nearest aetheryte to any sprout on your friends list.
Is Drk a good class to learn tank? I never played a mmo before 14 and I have only played dps
starting at 30 doesn't make much of a difference
PLD and WAR also both have a lot more individual survivability right now.
playing a tank is like playing a dps you just get hit more an use more buttons for survival
DRK got a little nerfed, and doesn't get one of its best defensives until level 70
WAR is most braindead
Monkey tank
I always find low level WAR to be kind of janky
PLD and GNB have the most active rotations for max damage output
High level WAR is super survive-y though.
I just realized I forgot to the job quests for crafters as I was leveling up. Is 'quality assurance' worth it?
war b4 62 eh its alright at 62 i am a god
if you plan to use craft hell yes its worth it and so is getting manip
f
is there a reason why monk aoe skills leveling is disjointed? it looks like you learn aoe1, then 3, then 2
dw i was lvl 90 on all crafters b4 even doing the hw craft quests
Funky design that hasn't been adjusted over time.
did they increase the nightmare whistle drop rate? or how rare is it?
Nightmare whistle drop was never increased.
at 70 and realized, just a lot of backtracking
It's... relatively rare but not hard to farm.
Its rate hasn't been touched as far as I'm aware. It's a pretty rare drop.
Ye lol level 80 jobs can solo all level 50 extremes.
And before you ask - no. Nobody knows the exact percentage drop rate.
do it on a tank job work towards the tanking achivements 2 birds one stone
You can do it comfortably at 70 ish
yuhh was just wondering hadnt played the game in a year, came back did ifrit for wonderous tails and boom nightmare whistle
Lucky you
Oh, I have heard about 6.08 being in next Tuesday, is that official or just rumors?
I can solo ifrit in 20 secs as a dnc 
only 20 secs
It's official.
The maintenance notice says "in order to add new world servers and implement patch 6.08"
Half that is just doing tech step
think atm best is like 6-8 secs but thats blue mage boost moon flute jkick final sting combo
if I want to do Necromancer do I need to level my machinist to max before starting PotD or because of the way leveling works in there can I do it perfectly fine at level 30?
30
PotD is more dependent on your weapon and armor level.
the aetherpool is the only thing that matters right
You need them at 99/99
ok got it, thanks
yes
but ofc you will need knowledge for the later floors just understanding the boss mechs
do all healers play the same in ffxiv? i played AST and didn't like it much, are there healers that play more of on a set rotation where i don't need to do much/any player targetting? or was i approaching AST incorrectly?
No
all different
They all have their own quirks but no healer has an actually set rotation
We got pure heals, shield heals
they all play different but you nonetheless have to target players.
that's how healing is
every job/class has its own thing that makes it unique ((beside maybe doh /dol if your being picky))
WHM has a lot of AoE heals in their kit compared to some of the others.
AST TBH
this was my biggest concern, rip
thanks for the answers, everyone!
i understand, i just come from gw2 where there are healers where you have set rotations with no player targeting required
They have different skills, but ultimately achieve the same goal
Well, not in vanilla without fucking yourself and the team over with unreliable macros
You could use plugins, but those can also be unreliable
And they break on patch days so can lead to fucky muscle memory and you end up healing yourself instead of the 5hp dps
i think i'll just avoid healers then, i'm enjoying tanking anyways
Tanking pog 
Goth, you have no idea how close you are from a smack down
is there way to maintain the item display panel up as you are mvoe through items in your inventory? I'm trying to browse my stuff for materia to extract or retrieve and I don't want to keep tapping L2 on every item
Tanking pig typo
Go into your actions and traits menu> general > materia extraction
It'll bring up a menu where you can see gear by spiritibond
And it'll highlight gear with 100% spiritbond and materia extraction possibility
For retrieval, no quick way to my knowledge except manually checking
yeah im in my retainers inventory, damn. Although the tip is helpful for the future thanks
Actually
There's commands to setup sorting by materia and spiritbond
/itemsort condition retainer materia dsc
/itemsort execute retainer
Should sort the retainer's inventory with gear that has materia first
nice thanks
Hey how do you unlock flying now ?
Same way as always.

Finish 2.0 for ARR zones. Collect aether currents for everything else.
Put it on ya bar
Which the old key items compass explained
OK was confuced why the my compas was gone
Again it explained in the tool tip
Yeah. People were deleting it by accident or something, so they made it a collection.
does anyone have wind-up lyna and still have the letter she came in? curious to know if it says anything unique
It was less of a letter and more like a card on the side of the last soundtrack released.
Also it was mostly in Japanese and didn't appear to have anything story related on it
sorry, i meant the in game letter
Do I do the DPS sprout quest?
hall of the novice I assume? I recommend you do all of them, yes
Do you like having a ring that gives you bonus exp and free armour?
they reward a decent set of gear and a ring that has an xp bonus
I don't recall. Sorry. 
The gear reward alone is gear on-par with what you can get for the same four left side slots from the first three dungeons.
And if you do the course to completion, you get a very good ring that will carry you to the mid 30s.
Aren’t most mails a thank you for purchasing xx here’s your thing or their unique ones
i deleted mine without reading it 😢
Yeah usually. A few redeemable or collector's edition items have special descriptions though.
i have a few unique ones saved
i don't know if there's a datamine for this somewhere
Guess il see when I buy collector for for sb I need my wind up butz and slydra
I’m sure there’s someone on the internet who has those in a gallery or something
Tataru could use that
guess I'll do them. thank you
is there a food list or something cuz i need food for my tank but idk what to buy and i can't find updated websites and the market board searcher is not very useful
when you select "meals" in the marketboard, it shows all the food starting with the most recently added ones
for tank, it depends on whether or not you need skill speed. if you don't need skill speed then pumpkin potage is best
Only wanna play two classes. My main is warrior. What should my odd job be?
are you more interested in dps or healing?
tyvm
No heal lol
if you need help finding it
dps falls into 3 categories. melee dps plays very similarly to tank, 1 2 3 combo and such. ranged is split into physical ranged and caster, main difference is caster has to stand still to cast
aesthetically which dps do you think you would prefer?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=WCVcgZ8dtD0 shows off the aesthetics

i have every job leveled to 80+ so i can answer questions about specific playstyles if you have any
I’ve tried. Red mage. Samurai. Monk. Lancer. Bard. Ninja. Reaper. Machinist
Not sure which to play
I have issues where I change too much
ffxiv is great because you can level them all on one character and swap freely, i wouldn't consider indecisiveness an issue hehe
of the ones you tried which one did you enjoy most?
Sam. But haven’t got lancer past 30
will there be any problem if i use gshade?
no
@remote lintel yes iirc. But I could be wrong
Yeah, you cant cheese things that way

sam is a solid choice!
If you mean is using Gshade against the ToS, then yes. If you mean whether SE is going to actively track your game files to find out whether or not you're using third-party software so they can ban you, then no.
Does anyone know when 6.1 releases?
does anyone know when 6.1 is coming?
The exact date? No
We can only estimate late March to early April
ah ok, ty!
When will I be able to purchase the best gear with poetics in stormblood? And where lol
I've been at cap for a while
I thought I just did but guess not lol hopefully next time is the real thing
If you haven’t done the quest called Stormblood, it’s still 4.0
which heal do you guys spam with WHM? cure 1 or 2
2, always 2
okay, i figured as much but found myself quickly running out of mana
im an AST main so its a bit different
Thanks! Will keep an eye out for it.
does gold rating for ShB fates also give 14 bicolor gemstones, or is it some other number?

ideally neither once you have alternatives
is there a translation for the mahjong tournament on niconico?
wdym?
Cure 2 is your lowest priority heal with cure 1 being trash bin garbage
If you're at that point someone has fucked up
what is the best to do with aphorism tomestone?
Get gear, then mats
All you can do
so in dungeons, i should just be spamming holy? like in a huge pull, would cure 2 be the way to keep the tank alive? (aside from ogcd's ofc)
for what?
the tank doesn't need that much help staying alive
580 is better
If you used all other resources then yes
And the trash isn't dead for some reason
put a Regen on the tank during the pull and then spam holy on the trash pack after he stops
use aero on the mobs while running
Regen and aero are instant casts so you lose nothing to cast them while moving
when the tank stops moving, swiftcast holy -> assize -> PoM and go to town with more holy
let the tank get low and benediction them
the point is, cure 2 should be rarely used ever
you have a ton of other heals that are more powerful
ahhh okay i see, thank you (: plays way diff than astro lol
It doesn't
whats the new highend map type
how does GNB's dps rotation look like? Heard you have to double weave?
Basically yes
Cause continuation is a forced weave
Meaning if you want to use defensive Cooldowns during burst you have to double weave or cry
is it just 1 2 3 until you gotta double weave for some amount of time every minute?
Your ammo combo and blasting zone is 30s
With the rare occasional burst strike dump to avoid overcapping
Can you not equip multiple retainers with the same unique item? Equipped a retainer with a 580 Limbo glove from normal raids, trying to equip another battle retainers but it says "Unable to obtain. You already possess one of that unique item" but the Limbo glove is 110% not on the retainer I'm trying to equip it on.
don't really understand all those DNB terms being thrown out tbh
The gear that's being removed exists in your inventory.
OHHHH. The gear that I'm replacing on the retainer. Okay that makes sense thanks lmao.
can you not do limitless blue ex solo? nothings happening
