Ah ok
That's the whole purpose of the Congested classification.
Also instead of being a flat out bonus, btw it is a percentage
So no one will be able to make new characters in aether?
I've barely played FFXIV but I want to get into it and I have an account with a free trial, what is the level cap?
Until that status is removed.
60
Alr
What’s it based on? Current player count or active players
SE's determination of population balance.
do msq
how you go back in
oh
Another question I have is that if I buy an expansion I still need the subscription right? And also about that what content does the regular subscription include?
should be an npc to talk to from the last zone you were in
So if you were to make a rough estimate on when you’d be able to make a new character in aether, when would that be
6.1 at the least

Shit sorry
Typically those statuses remain until the next major patch at a minimum, but that isn't a guarantee that SE will change it.
I mean they have to though because Aether is a North American server
Do they?
what does that have to do with anything
A large portion of their ff fans and player base is there
teleport to ||ala mighan quarter and talk to the pilot||
you realize theyre japanese
And they want people on the other NA datacenters
More people means more money too
Irrelevant information to the purpose of the Congestion classification.
I do
They’re not gonna uncongest aether for a while, move on
and what wynne said
Aether isn’t the only NA datacenter
whats the cheapest way to level alc desynth
Probably the dishware housing furniture
That works until 430 or so
It’s not?
primal
aether is 1 of them
crystal
The purpose of classifying a server as Congested/Preferred is to shift population balance away from servers with overly high populations and towards servers with relatively lower populations.
ALC is very annoying to level up since you only have SMN/SCH books and furniture as your main methods of desynth
And books tend to use lots of different materials
In this case, these classifications came along with the opening of the OCE datacenters, so incentives are given to people starting on or transferring to those servers, and new character creation on the already high population servers is being discouraged.
i feel like im the only one that sees aether in terms of the dc and think of the blonde hair braided traveler from genshin
I mean since I’m in aether I wouldn’t be able to play with anyone from the other data centers correct?
correct
That’s how it works
until they add dc travel in 6.1x
*intra-regional dc travel
You can always just world transfer if you want
Transfers in aren’t allowed, transfers out are
is there any way to make me see more debuffs/buffs on the party list?
What does this last bit mean/say to do?
"Or the character data could not be acquired as the character selection screen in the destination Home World has not been accessed before. Please access the character selection screen in the destination Home World and try again."
So just pick a different one?
No you have to... wait how do you access it?
have a fc to transfer to
@tight spoke character config > ui settings > party
Do you have to create a character on the chosen world?
thanks!
Make sure you've at least visited the server you want to transfer to before you request the transfer there. The last bit is a caveat in case the servers goofed up when talking to themselves, and just means "try again".
Do you get more xp on a second character?
how do you visit a server? I've never heard anything like this before.
No?
Just servers with the star on it that indicate double xp
What?
Road to X is just from new/preferred worlds
And if those aren’t a thing, it’s the exact same as regular leveling
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
where do i go to change my hair color?
Aesthetician, summon em from the inn
After doing the quest
I'm trying to change data center. Would you recommend transferring into that server in a different world, and then transferring from there?
Which is in Limsa
you cant world visit different data centers like the faq says
So what do I do? Should I just wait longer to join a specific world data center, or transfer to a smaller world, visit the world I want to go to, and then transfer?
It’s a process that takes time and money
does this mean that the second I agree I'm obligated to pay and can't cancel it if I don't pay?
Lose right to cancel purchase
just making sure 
is there a way to see if a world is prefered/congested before hitting continue?
hello RDM question, is it acceptable to delay embolden in a situation like P2S limit cut? do people generally delay their burst windows or should i just use embolden as it comes off CD right before the boss becomes untargetable?
yes you usually delay burst in limit cut
and whenever the boss becomes untargetable
No preferred worlds
ok ty
!faq world status
!faq worldstatus
That to see congested
guys whats the best way to level 60-70 and 70-80?
60-70 I'd say Heaven on High for DPS jobs, dungeons for the others.
ah thank you <3
70-80 is best in Bozja.
Hey, I hope it's alright to ask but is there, by any chance, any way to signal to other players that you're new to a dungeon and don't know/don't remember any of the mechanics without using chat? I use a controller since I'm terrible at playing with a keyboard, and definitely can't write as fast as the rest of the party moves on. I'd appreciate any and all help!
Smart people hold there 2 minute window till after limit cut
Rdm isn’t the only one
Can I do quests and queue in DF while visiting another world?
i assume you have a sprout on top of your head
Ontop of that pots are up by limit cuts end
which is indication enough
otherwise i would invest in a usb keyboard to plug in to your playstation
yea everyone delays there, in fact you should try to save two melee combos for the reopener after limit cut
What's Treasure Map Etiquette?
If I make a party is there an expectation for how many/which kind of maps? I understand that once you pop a portal it's best as a Free-For-All, but it's just everything surrounding that that I want to know about.
it's whatever you set as party lead
any map group on PF establishes their rules in the description
though it's expected that you supply at least a few maps of the kind the party wants to run
Is msq 20 the end of ARR? after that is heavensward?
no lmao
Reaching 50 is about halfway through the whole of ARR
ARR is extremely long, it ends at level 51 but there's a huge number of quests at exactly level 50
oh wow, this game really is long lol
Ditto for all other expacs, reaching their level cap is halfway through patch+post-patch content

Need on yours, greed on others, pass if you don’t want yours
It’s just about that simple
Or list it as FFA (free for all)
Anyone can need on any maps
theres literally title cards for each expansion you get to
it will be extremely obvious which expansion youre in
yea you'll know when the screen turns black and HEAVENSWARD is screaming at your face
until then you're in ARR
got it, I looked away for a sec and missed something in game that said something about ARR
base-ARR mentions it before the credits I think
anyone knows how to force lodestone to update?
you don't
or anyone knows how long does it take for lodestone to update?
several hours
and no
based on random reddit post, it's twice a day, just confirming if it's true lol
ok ty ty
how does the upgrading entry -> standard sub calculated?
I'm on entry now, and want to upgrade to standard for this month
charges whatever the extra is afaik
oh really? I'll do that then, ty ty
it charges you the difference in days

What's the command that shows what can and can't be dyed? I need it to show someone
forget the faq thing
!faq dyeicon
God damn it
close enough, thank you
!faq dyeicons
Is the free trial available now or still suspended?
Not back up
can someone help me with this when possible? i can't seem to get my enfeeblements to show up here. any other setting i'm missing?
what i end up doing is selecting myself to be able to see debuffs
And you should see them by default?
and i want them to 😦
Do you have blue mage leveled
like level 60.
Use self destruct to have a 10 minute debuff active
Hello! As a SMN can I change the appearance of ||Bahamut and Phoenix||?
No
You can change the size
That's it
thanks for that. my hud was wacky. had to uncheck enabled, save, and recheck enabled. 🤷
Eyup FFXIV will do that sometimes. ayyy it works now tho
Can you find Gaia as an interactable model after you're done with the Eden raids? Like, in the Crystarium or the empty or whatever.
Is it possible to use /chotbar to assign macros to a specific XHB's slot (like put macro 22 in 1 LAR)?
no
that would require a lot of setup and hotbar duplication, and it's also subject to the GCD rule or lack thereof when you're performing actions via macros
What about with NG+?
Did they add any MGP items besides the spectacles from 6.0 - 6.08?
I don't believe so
Damn
stripper pole
The dance pole I thought?
pennies
Not a lot
2000 or some other insignificant amount
rip
I use macros to change classes and put these macros in a specific XHB #. But each class's XHB with class changing macros has to be unique. I was hoping to create a shared XHB where I could swap out the 1 different macro
Does anyone know what magitek repair materials are for?
you cant partially copy hotbars. just use the same one for all jobs, so what if the job has the button to swap to itself
Helping someone unlock the doggo trials for Stormblood, they gotta do the Four Lords chain
how do they re-enter the temple?
talk to the doggo near hells lid entrance
We just finished Jade Stoa, do they have Hells Kier unlocked?

No wait Hells kier, not hells lid
You have to do Swallows Compass, a dungeon, after Jade Stoa to unlock Hells Kier
Yea
It looks like they found Tortortise in Time now

Where would i go if i want help getting me boosted from level 12 to 15?
you would press H and go where the hunting log tells you to
Im a trial player on ps lol
Logs -> Hunting Log
Thanks
Is the quickest way to fill your Eureka Pagos kettle to spam NM's or chain kill groups?
Whm holy stun duration goes 4s, 2s, 1s in succession? Or what are the #s
100% 50% 25% 0% so yes
NM is the way solo.
Cmiiw but If you have group try to kill the dragon while waiting for NM
The reason why all the XHB's are unique is because there aren't enough slots for all the classes: combat, gathering, and crafting
use one xhb for combat classes, and another for doh/dol
if that fits
then have a button that changes between the 2 bars
Im new but have been playing since tuesday. Just found out you could sprint and that you have the skill by default but it hasnt shown for me. Im on ps how would i go by equipping it?
That's what I have. The 16 slots allow 17 classes if I swap out the active class.
actions and traits menu
it's on your action list -> general
all skills are there
with limit break
in various sub menus
I just wish there was a way to use text commands to assign macros to a specific XHB slots
Thanks lmao.
is there a way to disable auto linking position in chat when you ctrl+rmb on map?
What is this red icon next to the name mean in PvP Frontlines?
it means they have battle hi 5
they do a fuckton of damage
but killing them gives more points
Battle hi 5 means what
i think its around a 200% boost in DPS and healing
It's a spell?
i dont know if XHB are the same as regular hotbars, but you can use hotbars from, say, Pugilist class as your place to 'store' hotbars. you don't use pugilist hotbars for anything anyway, so you just setup the /hotbar copy commands so they copy over the data from that class's hotbar. macros can access all job hotbars at the same time
no
you get battle high from killing enemies
if you kill a lot of enimes, or manage to solo fight a number of them, you get more points than normal
@velvet drum refer to User Macros -> Text Commands for full documentation on /hotbar command
dieing also reduces your current BH by 50%
And people know if a rank 5 is obtained or if they die
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Stun_(Status_Effect)
is this page straight up incorrect about diminishing returns?
i just tested it ingame with stun and paralyze
and the 60sec DR timer seems to start after the LAST application, not first
No the diminishing returns happen after the first
just tested it again
it is precisely 60 sec after the START of the LAST application
very easy to test with 30sec paralyze on BLU
after your third paralyze which is 7 seconds long, the enemy is immune to paralyze for 53 seconds more
(i also tested it with stun)
Im having trouble with one of the mech in p3s involving number with shining effect, anyone know how to reduce that shining effect?
Sometimes its so bad i just cant see the number
just double tested it again with Sticky Tongue, same results
same results with PLD shield bash
Well uhh, you can just edit the page if it bothers you that much
Can anyone help me boost me to lv.15 im on primal
same for WHM holy
Do the main story
Since you seem to be asking a question to which you've already essentially decided the answer to, recommend instead documenting your various testing methods and presenting them to the community as a discussion of mechanics studies, which is what you seem to actually want to do, and which is well outside the scope of a Q&H channel.
This isn't a game where others can boost you
Thanks lol i just wanna get the clown set asap
You can’t do that until you beat satasha anyway
So how long do i need to wait to get SE confirmation email? since i bought a time card and its been 15 hours with no response
I got a long way to go huh

Idk mate that's like 3 hours tops just do the main story
Yeah it's pretty fast tbh.
Probably could have been done with that section of the MSQ well before now, even assuming you started doing it when you first asked someone to boost you from level 8
which was nine hours ago
for the resistance weapon step collecting memories form StB content, what are the drop chances from fates?
around 25% if i recall
Pfft
after rank 25, the only purpose of mettle is to spend on honor, right?
ye
how do I start facet quests?
Be a 70+ DOH/DOL
cool, then who do I talk to?
Katliss, I think?
And that would unlock the different facets
Then from there it varies based on job
Almost sure that you'd see
on the map
You would^
If i placed my duty permit retainer at my FC's house, then I world transfer, does the duty permit retainer NPC stay at the location?
FSH
MIN/BTN
ARM/BSM/GSM
CRP/WVR/LTW
CUL/ALC
these are the five groupings, these are the same for the studium in Endwalker as well
which 6.x that will the first raid of 24-man be released?
Next one
cool
looking at the gear ilvl table from previous expansions, reckon 6.1 dungeon will have 575 ilvl loot? SB and ShB went +15 ilvl after initial capped dungeons
maybe? the alliance raid should give 590 and crafteed gear will be upgrade to 590
just bought the complete edition for pc, but i have my free trial save data on my ps4. Once my world transfer is finished (from JPN to OCE), will I be able to play as my old character or can I only play as him on ps4?
i couldn't find my character on the menu when i first opened it
you signed into the same account? you can only play the trial on one platform
Wierd... dumb question but where did u buy the complete edition?
Pick the correct data center first
Also, what lycllia said about free trial
from the squenix main page
i think
did you enter the code to your account on the mog station
Have u tried checking the correct Data centers?
wait im dumb
i didnt check my old datacentre before world transferring mb
he might have been there
what level 50 content should I do to be the most efficient getting tomestones? I've already done all the duties for the day
prae/castrum, which ever is shorter, is something like 200 poetics a run
castrum i believe is shorter
you dont really need to grind poetics for much, you can just continue with the story and get quest gear
trying to fill out my warrior gear with 130 gear before going to heavensward
that gear, will only really last until level 55
so you can, up to you, but kinda dont need toi
It is worth the effort if you are blasting through HW story real quick, you won't need to stop to gear up
But even then, the msq themselves give you gears too
at least tank gear, is shared by all tanks, same for healer gear
it gets annoying for melee :/
so you get 4 jobs in one
If you have ironwork weapon, chest, legs, and a few accessories, you are good to go
yeah im trying to learn tank coming off doing all realm reborn content with white mage except extremes
Accessories don't offer more stat than the armors I didn't mention, but accessories are harder to come by
Iirc, msq gives weapons and left side
And side quest gives accessories
Obviously dungeons give all
i have fending ironworks gear and earings and healing rings, neck, bracelet from white mage
fending gear for healer?
no no lol
They are gearing their warrior
ahh
They were playing WHM
^
you can somewhat share accessories between some melee (str) and tank, some tank accessories dont have tenacity on them, so you can use it on both jobs effectively
i like that you knew i was learning warrior when I just said tank
You only have 2 tanks in ARR, it was a 50/50 shot
you seem like a warrior guy
@boreal storm well guess what, i have BOTH of them at level 50!
so now whose the dummy
you can slowly gear up your tank if you're planning on going into hw with your whm
just do your roulettes daily
MSQ roulette is boring but gives 500-600 poetics a day
I take it all this applies to 60 gear and 70 gear ect.
yep
it gives you like 1 level worth of exp
poetics will get you the best gear for previous expansion level caps
so it can level along with your whm thats doing msq
technically there's gear a bit better than poetics but it's not worth the effort as it's a TINY bit
Shire gear have weird names, but the basics still apply
appreciate the help guys
have fun 
i'm still undecided on if I want to tank or heal but doesn't hurt to have both
do both
all of it
also doing multiple roles will make you better at the game as you can anticipate the problems other players are facing
you eventually level them all
are there any UI guides pinned anywhere? Controller player trying to switch to keyboard and mouse, dont know where to start
i think the official website has one? i havent used one
#protips-and-ui might be a good asking place for specifics on that
what should I spend white scrips on if I have all lvl 80 gathering gear?
1st suggestion is to outfit your retainers with lvl 80 gear?
why would I spend it on gear for retainers?
to reach requirement breakpoints for ventures
Level 7&7 materia cost 200-250 scripts but sell for 200-500gil each on th mb . Not a good use
so what should I use white scrips for?
Is there any point to world transferring to a friends server when world visits are pretty much instant again?
Hi cordials are also an easy item to make use of
so just get a metric fudge load of hi-cordials?
Or the items which give you a 150% boost to gathering for 2hours
150% boost of what?
Exp
Mostly use mine for 70/80 gear since I'm leveling crafters. Same with the crafting/gathering xp buffs they sell. If you're 90 in gathering you can also get the item (1600 scripts) that lets you harvest legendary nodes
How can i make it so when characters speak the text continues? Do i really wanna do that or should i just leave it as is?
Yeah I’d do hi cordials then.
Spacebar/Triangle button turns on auto text advance
In cutscenes, you can press space to turn on auto-forward
They’re 1 time things, you know like most job quests
hmm
wait were those job quests the kind of thing in Shadowbringers where you get grouped up with, say, a cat-guy if you were a physical dps?
And DOH/DOL have job quests
yea in shb they changed it to role quests
wait sorry meant role quests
So they also got role quests
yea
Yea shb and ew has role quests where all healers (for example) share a 1-time "job quest", there's a similar thing for DoL/DoH where 2-3 classes share the quests
alright, thanks!

I can't see Moonlight Aethersand at a node?
I guess it's desythned by Ewer Clay
Do I need to have a high desynth level to get it?
Did you raise the collectibility
they're timed
I know
as far as i know, your level of desynth does not matter
Probably needs a minimum collectability
I didn't get to click the collectible
the higher the collectability, the more sand it has a chance to give
is it just like collectible leveling, get it to 1000, then desynth it after?
Pretty much
kk
getting to 1000 on a 4 integrity node is difficult
so you might get a bunch of 600-800 instead
Even with 3497 / 3309 with food?
yes

1000 has a chance to give more than 1
i saw a table somewhere
The only one that doesn't apply to this is endtide, because fishing
Seems like if I want to get moonlight aethersand
fishing is based off fish size
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Aetherial_Reduction
here's a table for old stuff
large fish you can get 2-8
I probably want to farm bluescrips for Moonlight Aethersand
no
Seems a better idea
just go spear fishing
No?
What?
no, buying sand with scrips is a scam
Blue scrips aren’t a thing
I don't have fishing up, so not doing anything
also what caspian said
it costs way too much for the amount of effort you're doing to get scrips
Blue scrip, purple scrip, who the fuck cares lol
moonlight is what, alkahests?
200 scrips for one aethersand is painful
moonlight is like
It's 100
Rowena does
miner/bot as well i think
100 for moonlight, 200 for the others
yea its miner/bot too
you can get like 1-6 from one node
it spawns in between end tide/endwood
Yeah but that has a long-ass respawn time though?
they're infinite for like like 4 eorzea hours
its up for 8 minutes
you can get like
50+ in that timeframe
just chug cordials and do the collectable rotation
That's a lot of GP... lol
c.o.r.d.i.a.l.s.
That does seem better
otherwise market board
I thought the node would poof after you're done with it 
theres 3 nodes that keep respawning for an 8 minute window.
In any case, I still have more than I know what to do with
same
but it requires 400gp per collectible no?
That’s just unsoiled/legendary iirc
aim for at least like.... 450-500 collectability as a minimum, lower collectability doesnt have a chance to get sand
I dump my whole GP bar into one node because I thought they're one-and-done

Like the other timed nodes
do this when you have the gp
do this between
when you dont
Brazen isn't worth it, huh
nope
If anyone can help me think of a male NPC from final fantasy XIV that has text dialogue but no voice, would you let me know. I want to try and practice some voice lines with a character that has no preconceived voice. Thanks in advance
There’s many voiceless NPCs
Literally any side quest npc
any side content NPC will do
Good point lol. I wish the script book was in English sometimes LOL
99% of job quest npcs
99% of npcs
If you want something more significant
Most job quest npcs aren't voiced so u can just go ham on those
is there a difference between roegadyn clans besides lore?
you can wear 2 classical rings right?
yes
Thanks everyone, I might do the machinist job quest guy now that I'm thinking about it
Appearance?
And naming conventions
has anyone figured out how to stop the crackling/popping sounds that started since EW release? The recent patch hasn't fixed anything for me. I figured out that ambient sounds (windy zones) are the source of my sound popping
yes, I have. Still persistent :(
it has to be client side cuz im not getting it. is your connection ok during those times ?
or dx
I have great wired internet. The sound issues immediately go away as soon as i turn off ambient sounds, so I have no idea what else it could be
is gshade any good?
is it heavy on the hardware?
Gshade is basically dev approved
Depends how you use it
Have you heard of random number generation?
Did you look at the collectibility thing they sent
try having only FFXIX running and if it still happens, try adjust sound position.
I did but I can't read it because Im desparetely trying to collect as many as I can right now
That's not how aether sands work
It's random
More is better ofc
I've tried doing that. Still getting it.
Any called "gameplay"
w/ no discord running ?
yes
prolly not going to help but jsut to tick the box... you update drivers ?
I just reduced a 950 and got crystals, no guarantees
yup, done it all
ok so is only ambient sounds doinbg it ?
yes, only that is affecting my sound. I can have it on in some areas and not pop, but as soon as there is "wind" effects or windy weather, the popping ensues until I turn it off all together.
ya reading other thread w/ folks having same issue last month
never had an issue with this before endwalker
just for giggles u try windowd mode vs bordered screen mode ?
my game is always in borderless window, but I guess I could try others
instead of full screen just to see if it helps.
So i keep seeing mention of the "pastebin strats" for asphodelos fourth circle, does anyone actually have those here because i cant find them anywhere
and try fiddle w/ the equalizer mode.
Is there something wrong with Mogstation why can't I upgrade to full game? I tried use 3 different debit cards and all comes with Error 401
do SCH do emergency tactics often? thinking about keybinds
do the things from this have to be dropped from a battle
and does this not count towards it?
chin or smth iirc

what happens if I open a weapon coffer on sage that doesn't have an associated weapon?
Don't think u can open it
hey i heard you get free 15 day subs for levelling to 30 in new oce server, do you get free sub as well if you transfer lvl 30+ character?
no
sadge 2h msq it is i guess
iirc you need a forgotten fragment of skill for it
is there an new allagan vendor ?
yeah, this is what happens
I know, that’s why I said that
Did they change how gathering ventures worked? I thought I remembered hearing that it was just based on their gathering stat anymore
they did iwth ew
with
its perception now for yield
gathering is just a threshold to be able to gather it
gotcha, so higher perception = more items brought back?
also does that affect rarity of explorations?
rarity of items from explorations rather
yes
you mean the long ones? no idea
if you mean the targeted ones, thats what perception affects
Yeah, I'm going after the crab minion which is an 81 venture, and wanted to make sure i wasnt sending them out for nothing
idk anything about the long /field exploration ones
prob should hav e someone else answer that 
gotcha, thats still very good to know, had my miner getting mats for me and they are undergeared
does it matter which grand company i join apart from if i like them personally?
Glam
For the msq tale of adventurers, if i gave it to a friend. How do he use it on one of his character?
comes in the mail, it should be given to him as a code and he enters it on the mog station
Location
For example, the Flames are right beside the Aetheryte
The Maelstorm is in Limsa, but requires a single teleport to get to. It has the inn nearby though
whats the recommended free teleport location for stormblood?
RR?
just msq purposes
During MSQ, Kugane, post 4.0, RR
For the most part either kugane or rhalgrs
as a fresh level 90 bard what gear should I be working towards?
what is the ilv of normal-version of panda raid gear vs the ilv of capped-tome gear?
580, 590 augmentable to 600
Right now you should be using your Bard Relic gear from The Boutique™️ while also running the initial 90 dungeons for tomes and accessories
tome gear become augemenable when 6.1 is out?
I mean, like coin from copied factory for casual player?
Use the unlimited tone to upgrade to 570 gear, start using time limited tome to obtain 590 gear, run normal raids to obtain 580 gear.
Or skip all of the above and just buy HQ 580 CRAFTED off the marketboard
yeah i have the 89 relic gear , moonward bow, moonward accessories and the green 90 aiming ring
Has anyone here struggled with 90002 errors? I am at my wits end. I have no completely reinstalled my computer, drivers and ffxiv. I've done DNS , offload, preferred IP, router settings. I had no problems before some time after Endwalker.
you try a VPN ?
Then work up to 570 item level and/or start doing Extreme Trials for 580 weapon and accessories
90002 is comm error right ?
so should i buy the radiant gear that will eventually upgrade to augmented radiant with the astronomies i have now?
Yes radiant can be augmented with certain drops from Savage, and you'll be able to exchange other currencies for the Augment item come 6.1
I truly hope VPN isnt an option to play such a streamlined game as FFXIV, Its not like im playing Lost Ark on Korean servers :/
ty
Right now as a casual player (assuming 100% ignoring Savage) the maximum item level is 589, using tomestone gear
And a 580 ring
ah im 565 rn

long way to go lol
/agree but if itrs needed (and for some it is) id give it a shot to see if it helps.
its prolly that
There's no rush anyways currently so like take your time
Just remember to cap your weekly tomestone and then do whatever
yeah it will be a long time before im good enough for savage lol
spoiler: you're never good enough
XD
No but fr if you're at 580 like
i did normal like 3x and it didn't go great
Nothing's stopping you from making a learning party on PF
the only way to get good is to practice
yeah i need to stop wasting time with alt classes lol
And in this case there's a ton of unique mechanics to this tier of raids
nah you don't have to lmao
low dungeons are boring as hell anyway
I don't touch savage even with a ten foot barge pole
only been playing like 3 months though so this will be my intro to savage raiding lol
If you want to dip your toes try EX trials
The 83 and 89 EX are both relatively simple but give you an idea of the difficulty compared to normal
might be ok with lower ping though
And the 90 EX will be added with 6.1 and I can't fucking wait
It is, but requires savage raiding
The 6.1 patch, (and all odd patches afterwards) are known as the catch up patch for casual players
Since the alliance raid allows you to obtain savage augments without doing Savage raids
ah nice
will the 6.1 patch still require normal radiant to be upgraded? or will it be like the other ones where you just buy the upgraded version?
can user-crafted gear be better than dungeon/raid/combat acquired gear?
Still buy normal then augment
Yes and no, remember item levels exist
The purchased augment won't be until next expansion
Are you talking about endgame or leveling
i was referring to leveling, but lets presume I was also speaking of endgame
Leveling Alternates between Crafted and Dungeon, but the first 3-4 levels of the bracket Poetics gear is the best due to how item level works
as long as you're "close enough" past the 5th level you don't need to worry
For raid tiers
Endgame, Crafted is on par with Normal Raid initially
Once 6.1 comes out you can augment crafted gear to be on par with the time limited tomestone
alright lets say I wanted to try out a level 1 DoW/M and then craft my gear going onwards, would that be a good use of my time?
i mean for that class as an example
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Not really imo
I don't pay your sub
I leveled crafters because it was a nice time sink and I enjoyed playing with spreadsheets
so like just get gear from dungeons then?
That is viable and perfectly fine, as long as you try to keep your gear up to date
especially since minimum item level requirements exist for dungeons now thank fuck
but say I was missing a minimum item level for a piece of gear that was low level, would crafting my own gear suffice?
You could also just buy from a vendor/mb
oh crafted gear is only on par with dungeon and tomestone gear ASSUMMING HQ
otherwise it's about a penalty of 10-20%
it's not that big of a deal below 50 but you'll notice it
Especially in Heavensward that shit was wild. Dunno how the stat curve changed that
do you get more books if you clear a savage again in that same week?
No
So if i own the game on ps4 and upgrade to a ps5, would i have to buy endwalker again?
It’s the same license, so no
Do I have to level my Rogue Retainer to 60 to change them to DNC, or can I change them from Rogue to NIN, then level them to 60, then swap from NIN to DNC?
o7
heard there was a sub bonus for leveling a character to 30 on materia, is there a deadline on that?
you'll get it as long as the world is classified as new (or preferred?), and those statuses change only with patches so you have time until at least 6.1 in spring, and maybe even after but depends on the server population at that time
Hello.
Questions regarding the soon-to-come 6.1 patch:
- Will Empyrean be a part of it?
- Do we have a more exact time for it, apart from spring?

Footfalls

i know if off T, but wow, thats cool. Just one dude playing all the instruments
is there anything i can do with my old blade gear from zadnor?
nope
Not even desynth ing, it's the epitome of bloat/catchup gear
alrighty then
is there like a safe list of songs bard can play without getting banned? haha
Basically any as long as you don't upload them to youtube, especially with monetization on
the ToS for performance is more to cover SE's ass from lawsuits of people playing music
Careful ... Lars Ulrich may knock on your door 🙂
Ohh i see, okay thts cool then
so pretty much copy right free incase you upload it to youtube, but if you dont its fine to play anything pretty much?
heh you can, it jsut will give warning .
on youtube that is
they are horrible for that. even if you have radio on in back ground can still get dinged
speaking of bard, is that a job from ranger ?
archer becomes bard, yes
cool thanks. where is the job picked up @ ?
Gridania
What are some good jobs for doing eureka solo?
any tank, healer, and red mage have good inherent sustain
but if you buy a stack of Eureka Potions from the merchant in the main camp, you can get a beefy heal over time for yourself on any job
!item eurekan potion
Is leveling on healers efficient?
Hi Wynne. What lv can i grab it at ?
Level 30
:d
it's a bit slower than the other jobs, but very nice if you can manage a party
its the safest option
Are any of the BA/eureka discords active right now?
ye
I'll take a look then, ty
DRK Quest 60, i am to use "souleater" to damage a Swirling Abyss, what's that?
i have no abilities/skills that have this name
whats the highest rarity of map and what requirements must I meet in order to harvest it?
kumbhira skin, from level 90 nodes so you just need to be able to see them
so be like level 84? 85? gatherer
yes since only those have level 90 nodes
probably, wherever 90 nodes are
the 5th and 6th zone
all I'm seeing are saigaskin maps?
check more nodes 
are there lvl 90 job quests?
no
kk <3
level 90 collectables/custom deliveries
cool, thanks!
Is there a place where i can check rdps needed for clearing fights?
Should i go Guild Hests? Never done a single one, im lvl 61
What errors
I see nothin wrong
The chat bar? Eh, just redo your hotbars, it's whatev
what weapon does black mage get at 50?
stardust rod
Ya
That's one of them
aight ty guys
It's !
hi everyone, im looking for the name of a certain mount: a rather big mechanical dragon, with what looks like rockets as wings
lander waffe
Console games wiki is shit
it is? for me it has been the most helpful, regarding questlines and npc locations and so on
i think ezora database has a horrible layout
Gamer escape is far better
Eorzea Database
And console games wiki is rarely updated
garland tools is good in terms of pure database searching
It's okay for older shit but the further you get into the game the worse it is
how do i get venture coffers
rarely from quick ventures
your chance improves by increasing your retainers item level (combat retainers) or gathering stat (gathering retainers)
any level retainer can get it
oh ok but like higher ilvl would be better
How much ilevel should i go for if i want a mediocre challenge of duo queue bahamut experience?
Thiis might be an odd question, but, is there a repository of guides like this? https://i.redd.it/8e8fchidyod31.png
can't say, been forever since i've done coil with anything weaker than level 80 stuff, which absolutely sweeps it
Try asking in #endgame-lounge or over at the balance discord if no one else responds, I don't do savage content to look for resources.
Yeah nor do I. I'm just trying to do some generic research as strange as that sounds
How long is temporarily suspended login access takes?
am i reading this correctly as that i will get 6 uses of manafication
so the 6 next skills then
it's basically getting extended to include the new finishers you get after melee
it just means your new lvl 90 finisher benefits from the dmg buff
okay
I recommend the YouTube channel Joonbob
yes and no
for the level 50 and 70 sets, the calamity salvagers have them
for the level 80 set, Grenoldt in the Tempest has it.
for the level 60 set, you need to unlock Clan Centurio hunts and buy the sets in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight inn with Centurio Seals earned from doing Clan Hunts
Pretty close to what I want, worst case its what I'll use but I was kind of hoping for an image lol
!action manafication
Huh, out of datw
Why is it difficult to find a party for alliance raids that are HW and above?
Because its 9am EST.
I don't mean right now, I've been trying for days with no success.
Is there a specific time I should be looking?
Are you talking about using the Duty Finder or Party Finder?
duty finder
I personally havent had any issues. Done a few in the last week all through Duty Finder. Usually around 7pm EST.
Though I also usually have a healer queueing up with me as a DPS.
If you're a tank, it's cuz you're in low demand
Tanks make up 1/8th of an alliance raid
Ah, that makes sense (I play tank)
Also cuz the arr alliance raids are mandatory you've admittedly been spoiled
I see, should I level a dps to do those pieces of content then?
I've got a machinist I've been working on
how do i revive? i accidently clicked no when the game told me to return to gridania
It's up to you in the end
Don't do that
Go to return confirmation and return
There's some dude on the subreddit who sat there for a aaaages thinking he'd have to relog
<@&607647345936695316> Would Rich Presence for FFXIV be going against section 2.5 ("Data Mining. You may not intercept, mine or otherwise collect information from the Game using unauthorized third party software.") of the FFXIV ToS? I wouldn't call it "Data Mining", rather than just giving more detail in wtf ur doing in FFXIV for your Discord status, but I'm sure SE has other ideas.
Sorry for the mass ping
All add ons break tos to begin with
What Kat said, however Yoshi has also stated "We don't know what is on your computer"
so, am I already pushing it by having BMP and actively using it?
I don't use it 24/7, just when I feel like it
Unless you actively tell people you use it, SE can’t do anything about it
Gshade is technically an overlay and is basically approved but EVERYTHING ELSE is against tos
which isn't all that often
Don't ask, don't tell
DO NOT DISCUSS IN GAME
SE can’t scan your files to find mods/add-ons
Basically, what they're all saying.
No ones been banned for using mods.
People have been banned for harassing people for low DPS because they were using mods to find that out.
And they're not interested in blocking the back doors people use for them, cuz that's a waste of dev time
They'll unintentionally break most of them every patch all the same tho
yeah, i mean, what if a song has an incredibly complex part that can't humanly be played?
Hello everyone
If they want to stop people from using mods, they're probably going to warn everyone ahead of time.
The mod community is too big.
Se doesn't care
also, idk if this is relevant, but I think this kinda goes along with the 4th amendment of the US (No search without a warrant). SE can't search my PC unless my actions warrant it, is what I'm getting from all this.
SE has also had content creators on who publicly use mods on streams.
No shit, we told you they can't
Not to mention that would break steam and most other game distributions service tos
sorry. I can be a little slow, having ADHD, and all.
Technically be malware

Etc etc etc
Don't be king, no need to explain urself
Imeannnnnnn.... Technically? If you modify a file, load the game, and the game goes "Hey you modified a file" they're allowed to do that.
They're not however going to scan your entire computer.
They do not care, peeps been playing for years with them. Everythin is fine. Do what u want
To put it bluntly, they have zero client side anti-cheat.
basically, just dont talk about it ingame and nobody gives a shit, unless its like, actual game breaking shit that other people can see
It can self scan files but thats a shit ton of content for this game
Ok, was just asking cause somebody in Nevermore's FC Discord uses Rich Presence, and I didn't know if that was allowed.
I’m capped on bicolor gemstones, what should I spend them on?
Thank you, everyone.
Like every other mod/plugin its not, but no one cares unless you discuss in game and or use it to harass people
can check the market board for crafting mats and see what sells well, otherwise if you hav emax fate level in EW zones you can get some exclusive minions and stuff
I personally only use ACT and XIVLauncher to auto launch ACT and to not have to put in my password every time. Though I also enjoy the use of the marketboard plugin, I havent reinstalled that yet. :^)
Saw that but I never got around to adding it in the past.
If i spam panic emote. are other people's chat log spammed with "Hek panics!" or does it only say it the 1st time I emote? sorry random Q
Yeah, I’ll go with crafting mats for now, since I’m fat from completed fate zones, thanks!
wait xivlauncher auto launches act?
Yes unless you turn off the chat log bit
can give it the option to
Yes/No. Theres a config you can setup to do it.
if you have act installed
ight ima check it out
make my life a hell of a lot easier
so my setting affects what other people see?
Yes
basically i like to run around and emote on lala but not if it chat spams other people
ok i think i understand lol ty
where’s the setting to stop my char from auto facing the enemy when I use a move?
you can also make macros to not have it put in chat for individual commands
/wave motion
if you put motion after a emote command, it wont spam chat, or you know, just turn them all off
i like to put that at the beginning of my greeting when entering a dungeon, so my character waves
ok similar to ff11. i was just confused why sometimes emotes showed in chat and sometimes they didnt. but i get it now tyty ❤️
yea, not exactly feasible if you use a lot of emotes, hence the tick box in the emote screen
but nice for macros
uhm. I barely post here since I post in the Exodus fan server. But, should I transfer to OCE servers? I'm from SEA region and I tried pinging OCE servers and I'm getting sub-150ms compared to Primal DC's 170ms ping.
Although, I'm worried about leaving behind my FC which is barely alive. And I have already setup a private room there
Oh and follow-up question, until when is the free World Transfer service?
until they set the servers to NOT be new anymore
possibly next patch, 6.1
so should I transfer for the sake of better ping?
6.1 or stupidly over capacity, whichever comes first
Character configuration > Control settings > target tab
Your decision
Fc is barely alive, if u have friends there u can just world visit dw king
Are there any good healers available who can Prog P2 of P4S in CHAOS datacenter?
most of my friends are in Primal DC (not just in the FC) since I started playing there.
A) you're light role so change that to access chaos recruitment channels
B) not that kind of questions and help channrl
Green DPS is everywhere.
also, when it comes to transferring worlds. I should pack up my furniture from the private room and give it to my retainers?
thanks 👍
You have to demolish/give up all housing before you can transfer
I see. That would be obviously after packing up right?
Ofc
no prob
most ppl leave that option on though, not sure why youd turn it off, otherwise you have to manually turn your character to the enemy if say you run past them
also, is there like a "server tendency" for OCE servers like which server is for raiding/rp/casual/etc?
servers are literally brand new, probably wont know for a while
also, yeah, its one datacenter, so it doesn't matter
i love it so much
out of the ||Triple Triad||, Sophia seems to be the coolest 
I find it really annoying especially when running with mobs, i’m just trying it out
Freshly Glazed Porxie
Casting through gaze attack is handy too
you may wanna try legacy camera controls, it unlocks the camera from the character
so you can still face the camera somewhere else, it will let you snap to enemies when using abilities, but it wont move the camera, if thats the issue
*warring
ah right yeah, been a while since HW raids
Interesting, I’ll check it out
camera controls:
endwalker will have the rest? @glossy flare
oh man
which means it will be another 2 years or so until that track is on spotify
first time doing this. so I basically removed all the furnishing in my private room in the FC and they're all in storage. That means it's safe to relinquish the room right?
Everything has to be gone, including stuff in the storeroom
Yes
oof. thanks
