What is the best meld for a level 90 fishing pole? The websites only list best melds for MIN & BOT đ
but the msg is not a locked msg, odd
Did SE ban any FC recruitment shouting?
Haven't seen one in a while
and said while is more than one week
!faq communityfinder
Yeah already checked it. Nothing suited me there
Anyway thanks for answering my question
What does the warnings mean
when is better gathering gear coming ?
I think that's "glamour could not be restored"?
Ooooooh yeah surely it's that
Think that one has a weaver glamour
Okay okay thanks!
!faq mount
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
when there are two or more reapers and their arcane crest got broken at the same time, do the regen potency adds up?
Why people do this?
I want my item gone now, next question
Memes are fun and people like to make them
hello everyone it's me again. I think i will forget about playing this game. username and password still don't work in launcher. the new thing that has me gobsmacked is that steam says I have played the game for 3.7 hours today!
Did your account get hacked or something?
it looks like it
Can you log into the Mogstation?
And you're using the same information to try to log in on the Steam launcher for XIV?
yes
for steam playtime it also counts when you have the launcher open
ahhh
close it and check in an hour and see if your time goes up\
that would account for the time played hehe. more like time spent trying to log in
if i bought a level skip for a certain job can i still do the quest?
good to know

i cant find the npc for DK i was trying to do the quesst
You can with NG+, but you won't get any rewards.
wont let me click on it
You have to unlock the NG+ system
In Vesper Bay
From the guy who looks like Xehanort from KH
Can you put all 12 mahatma on a weapon in one go for the arr relic ?
duty roulette is once a day ?
can anyone think of a reason why Mogstation accepts my login details but the game doesn't?
Once per reset, yes.
did u add the code ?
from steam on mogstation ?
@barren monolith no I tried to but when I tried to activate the app on my phone it rejected the details I had entered
You do for 2fA
i had to link my mogstation account to steam yes that was all successful
the game is shown on my account details
for example my account was free trial before
and i had to upgrade it to full game
The cdkey is what he's talking about.
and they had a tab in whhich they made me go to full accesibility by adding the code or buying the game from them
When you activate the game on your Mogstation account.
i added the cd key correctly yes
and you wanted to add 2fa also ?
ffxiv is shown in my service account dashboard
as active
i did but I decided against it
logging from steam wont let u ?
it sounded easy to add the app to my phone. extra security etc. but as I mentioned before. I put in my username date of birth and the code they sent me in my email and the system said incorrect.
@barren monolith I press play and I get the launcher. I put in my username and my password and it says no
its very vexxing
is there like a discord or recruitment area for heaven on high stuffs? #resources didnt seem to have one for crystal
Not really? People usually just use PF for higher floors, I think.
How does go about getting dyable shb relic armor?
Gotchaa, thanks man
ah ye, i just have a night schedule so i was wonderin if there was a discord for that. np!
for the summoner rework, does base carbuncle not do anything anymore? maybe im missing it doing stuff but i feel like it doesnt attack or anything now
shield and buff
it does not attack anymore
its' also required to use your moves
thats the other carbies and egis now
you need carby out to use other shits
so do the pet commands for carbuncle do anything or not rlly?
nope
!action searing light
this for example originates from your carby
yea new summoner is more fun
Is there a more efficient way to see hunting log mobs location than searching on google every tome
Time*
I know it gives you the aprox location in the log but its very slow
ffxiv hunt is pretty decent
but its meant to be a search
later expacs cut down on the areas it can spawn in
EW ones have like 4 spots they can spawn lmao
Yeah im leveling alts
manual placement is sometimes needed for Searing Light, though it's not a big deal outside of highend raiding
everything else is pretty useless
I dont wanna search all over again tbh
https://youtu.be/MD-8y6jqTc0 does anyone know the song in this video?
Summoner Guide is just around the corner.

What kind of delay do you mean? A cast time? Living Dead is not a usual mitigation tool, its an invuln button
Ik its something from shb but I don't remember
It's "To The Edge"
to the edge, it's in the description
at the last second
Oh, im stupid lol ty!
that's just all skills in general
your skills snapshot the same as enemy skills
so using a skill too late, like just before the boss cast happens, may result in it not working in time
All this talk of SMN love - I switched to DNC from SMN at 60 just to try, and now I don't know which I prefer :)
Use both
That's the ultimate reality
any reason why the GC wont accept my landsaint rings for seals
But would be good to push one to 90 before I go too job crazy
Living dead and HG both have that weakness
Holmgang and esp super have a pretty fast snapshot
nothing works if used at the last second pepehands
Yeah youâll still need a half sec

As a PLD it can be helpful to invuln the first pull in dungeons to speed things up.
Since it buys 10s for your healer to help DPS.
Thatâs prolly killin ya
Use it like any other defensive
Ok fair enough
LIVING DEAD AS ANY OTHER DEFENSIVE?!
Ye
there's zero reason to save invulns. There's nothing dangerous enough in any boss fight to warrant holding it
hmmmmm like
I think TBN + regular mitigation + 10% mitigation
is usually enough
like regular mitigation is like rampart
I mean that will work sure
throw in reprisal and arm's length too
Tank invulns are the strongest defensive Cooldowns
A defensive Cooldown Job is to prevent you from dying
Invulns do that the best
again, use your invuln.
Just tell your healer you're using it in advance
ok but what about LD
I don't want a living dead macro either
because those
are annoying af
lol
Use it
SPAMMING IT
Then donât add text lol
Literally
3 words
" LD next pull"
Before pulling
All you need
Smart healers will save resources to heal it off
Does anyone here know what gear the 2nd circle drops?
And if you have dumb healers, nothings gonna save ya lol
!faq normalloot
pepe hands
I'm going to try and start P1S tonight
with invuln

sry i meant coffers in p2s

amaaazing
In savage invulns are used at specific points
Yeah those are just âpress lbâ mechanic
oh really
Ah yes, the scuffed pug strats to avoid doing mechs 
i think in p2 its more relied on
holmgang, the button used for every occasion where you disagree with the encounter designer
since in p2 its a real mechanic
Hey QQ is anyone else experiencing crashing lately since 6.08 launched?
Sometimes getting that https://twitter.com/_SGr03/status/1488870617894031366
who pin me
Also sorry for the ping copy and paste some reason got your tag
But anyways I can't even stay alt'tabbed for 1 minute without the game closing
anyone whose good at macro-ing abilities that you have to manually place (eg. Salted Earth)
i need some help T_T
this macro is supposed to drop salted earth at the target im targetting
but it keeps dropping at my feet
oh
It ALWAYS drops where you are
Anyone able to help me out? Solo'ing Emanation extreme, and it's super easy for the most part, but when she gets down to 10% and does the room wide knockback Divine Denial, which you are supposed to Vril through, vril has failed me twice in a row at that point. I've used it, checked the battle log, it shows it goes off, but she knocks me off to my death anyway.
ahhh
You didn't do enough damage to kill it in time
ahh
weird because there are guides out there that specifically mention the mechanic, and that vril stops it.
supposedly these are ex specific guides
can't trust the internet as usual I guess
how long is it taking you to drop her to 10%
dunno, doing it on sage in crafted gear, so it's not fast.
You can easily see what enrage are by if they're extremely long cast
gotcha
Every single extreme and up content has an enrage
Usually happens around like 10-11min
it's the only time she has used that specific ability for me, so maybe I'm just skipping the mechanic in earlier parts?
Unsure what the exact fight is looking like for you, but like Vinyl said, if it's a long cast, it is enrage
You need to do more damage
gotcha, well guess I'll have to wait till I get my GNB to 90 then.
If you join an ongoing duty roulette, do you get penalty if you leave?
where's the bosja entrance again?
Gangos
can i paly with a NA player if im EUW ?
Yes
Yes
You just have to be on the same server
Just make on their data centre
You can only get 1 treasure map per day right? Does that limitation apply across the entire game?
So if I grab this level 70 treasure map, it'll prevent me from getting level 80 treasure maps for 18 hours?
Yes
oof
i mean you could buy one
You picked chaos didnât you, thatâs what it says in your roles?
i believe so
how to grind carpenter's desynth fast?
Can you use Double Hook on collectibles?
I once saw someone have a message say who they were raising any idea how they did that
%t or <t>
These have drastically different recipes. Does that impact how much desynth skill you'll get? Or does that not matter and only takes ilvl into account?
Item level
Not exactly fast, but desynthing weapons you either make or get from dungeon drops is probably your best bet.
Aight, gonna have to start making a bunch of stuff like this and level desynth from it
dungeon rarely drops wooden stuffs, so yeah đŚ
Most spears and bows count as CRP gear.
Because of course
which patch will give kupo-nut gear for EW?
Moonward goes to nuts in 6.2
where do i trade in obsolete tomestones?

Where can I view the sps tiers of sch?
!faq stats
ty!
How come it says 1/2? I didn't win anything on it. (P4)
You got a blade
Blade
Every week you get 1 blade from P4. When you have 7, you can exchange them for a Discal Tomestone.
The blade is a 100% guarantee on your first clear of P4N every week.
And goes directly into your bag.
For squadrons, can you only do 1 priority mission per week?
Do anyone here want to trade FFXIV: Complete Edition NA Code for a Complete Edition EU Code one? My friend has an EU account but bought the NA account. I hope it's okay to ask things like this here cause tis me first time here. 
Yes.
But it only counts on successful completion.
any cheap food suggestions for leveling gnb?
Egg superiority
!item raisins
lmao
we're serious though
just eat some whatever food for the exp buff
the stats are irrelevant while leveling
Literally the only thing that matters on leveling food is that 3% xp buff.
Everything else is just window dressing.
Hello I want to start playing the game and tried searching online, but I cant find an answer to my question: I have not buy the game, but after creating my Square account my region was set to Europe and notice that when doing exchange rate buying the Starter Edition in Euros was cheaper than in dollars, everything else seems about the same price after the exchange rate (monthly fee, expansions, etc.) My question is, can I buy the game in Euros and then pay the subscription in dollars?
Eggs, raisins, and orange juice are the three cheapest vendor foods, so you can buy them in bulk.
is there a quest you have to do to unlock the vendor that sells emperor's new gear
I forget and my friend wants to do it
is the quest blue?
yes
perfect ty
In theory that should be possible. Even if you can't do it by credit/debit, you can always buy Crysta and use that instead. You'll just have to remember to buy subsequent expansions from the EU store.
Oh ok, does this have a impact on data center or servers?
Up!
You can ask a question, but I won't guarantee anything.
I don't know you.
I'm at work.
So no.
Is Blessed Harvest 2 still best for maximizing yield when farming one thing for like hours on end, or is Pioneer's Gift 2 also good?
Mmm ok, but is you Account lock to a certain region?
For purchase purposes, yes. For character creation purposes, no.
Ok I find weird that you can just change the region of the web page at the bottom
Also, is there a resource that lists the ceiling on every map?
lol, its not gonna be nearly as active as peak time
probably less than 60 pf for high end
idk what exactly you're expecting
yikes, i dont think i wanna know what that just said

bro just wanted a screenshot
Does the game have a Base game or is ARB the base game?
arr +hwis the base game
ARB ?
/ trial, (base game is those 2 w/o restrictions on social)
ARR*
đ
Ah i see, ty
Is there any need to prioritize trick attack in target status? I want some more room on my UI and donât need to see everyoneâs dots
Is this what you wanted? All my other tabs just say âlocked dutyâ.
Theyâre talking about EX and above content for EndWalker
ok, thought as much. i havent got there yet. i tried!
Ultimates are there too
I cleared uwu on pf
so, last time i sent my squad on 18 hour mission they lost, can they do it now with these stats?
decent chance yes
Try again, you lost a 2/3 chance of success
alrighty, thanks!
hastaloeya my man
What's the best way to get fc points to rank up when you're still on ARR? >w<
You... don't rank up in your FC with points...
But if you mean how to level up your FC... just do content.
...Or whatever you call that bar for FC Rank
Members of the FC doing content gives the FC experience.
The FC then levels up based on how much content people have done.
How to pass the quest a game of cat and fish? (Fisherman) I don't understand, I caught a striped goby and then I have to use mooch but I can't use it...
anyone have a g600 mouse?need help with keybinds
That's content too.
Can only mooch on big fish
oh, thanks
kinda, at higher levels though you can just auction house the cheap gear then dump it
It's still content lol
yeah it has to be above a certain weight size to mooch
Is there an exact conversion from gc seals obtained to fc exp? I saw somewhere that the less people are online on the fc, the higher exp you get from doing stuff, is that still true? :o
đŚ ok, i got it
Size not weight
what rank ar eyou trying to hit
6?
Rank 5
I do. What's up?
idr what rank 5 was but rank 6 was like 93-96k or something
true
whats up, i was wondering how people have 3 sets of binds for the mouse by using alt,shift,etc.? i see gshift but its only assigned to my mouse. feel kinda lost
You have to use the Logitech software to rebind the side keys to keyboard keys/combos that FF14 can recognize. Mine are like alt+# and ctrl+#
I don't use the gshift one personally. I found that I kept activating it on accident. I mainly use the mouse for the side keys
ok ty
Now that I think about it. I have the side keys set to one set, like alt+# I think. Then in the game the key binds are set to alt+# for one hotbar and then shift+alt+# for another hotbar, so that I can do shift+sidekey.
yea i realized thats what i was missing when i read your first message. thank you for the help

Hey guys, do any of you know how to get the steam version of this game to work...?
You're probably going to have to be more specific. What's the issue?
Are you getting an error?
Closing when? When the launcher starts? After logging in?
After it gets to the launcher part right before logging in, its just a black screen on the launcher that says Final Fantasy XIV Online
I haven't heard of that happening before. You might need to reinstall, but I'm not positive.
vendors never sell HQ stuff right?
I know reinstalling it would work but legitmately when I close the launcher after the first time
It won't run again ._.
I dont want to reinstall it everytime I want to play for a few hours 
So I was wondering if there was a fix...
ive. Never heard of this happening
They sometimes do. Although the HQ stuff I'm thinking of got removed in 6.0 because they were gathered mats. Is there something specific you're looking for?
Do you think its because I dont have a windows key? But then again i ran the game last night
The only other thing I would try is google for similar problems from other people. Like I see one suggestion that says to disable the steam overlay.
well i am trying to do the job quests for crafters and everything has to be in HQ, trying to figure out if some of the stuff u can just buy directly from vendor
I don't think FF14 cares if Windows is activated.
Most of those will only be available in HQ from the market board. Some players sells the completed crafts.
very rougly, how long does a 21-30 hoh run take?
You are correct, Windows does not care.
Source: we keep memeing on Infernoblood every time they share a screenshot of their game with Activate Windows burned into a corner
So like is my pc just retarded...
You can maybe try asking in #technology-discussion . They can sometimes help with crashes.
Did you try power it off and on again? (legit question, no joke)
Hey, guys a quick question: Why do my new class gear has this lock icon on it? I just turned 90 with WMA and ordered the gear. Does it mean I can't use it?
Yes
what a weird system^^
Ive been looking to get this game for a while, but I heard the servers are congested(back in December iirc) is this still an issue or is it resolved?
Some still are, but not all of them
I mean, if my laptop can run it, im gonna cry cause im installing it there rn
Aether is back on Congested but q time are basically inexistent
alright ty ill probably get the game then
which, thank god, I was tired of waiting a half hour to an hour to get in every night
Just note that Congested Worlds can't make new char
very sad, nobody can come join us on aether I want more sprouts
the Congested status in this case is a label SE slaps on words/datacenters they feel are getting overpopulated, in order to divert new players to other servers. This is usually accompanied by classifying servers they want to balance up as Preferred (or New, in the case of the OCE datacenter that just launched).

All of aether is congested, you'll have to make a new character on crystal if you're an NA person, or if the latency won't be super bad for you, creating a character on the new OCE servers would be a good choice since they're giving a huge xp buff and free game time to anyone who gets a char to level 30 on those servers
Is anyone still tracking the Foxy Lady FATE on Phoenix?
Not just Crystal. Primal is open too
Me and a friend just did Outfoxed
ok thanks alot, i appreciate the help
the game has a benchmark tool for pc that's about a gig, you could install that first to get a feel for how your laptop can handle the game, they have various presets on it
I haven't seen any gear/build resources anywhere, is the meta not super concerned with BIS stuff?
Oooh okay
Melding seems like a pain in the arse though lmfao
Crafting class leveling is not my thing at all
You can request meld from other players
**if you're not free trial
melding is easy
Only overmelding is a pain. For regular mending you can use a melder npc if you don't have crafters
overmelding is challenging
There's an npc to do that?
On the map
what is blue mage i havent heard anyone talk about the class in any videos iv watched?
Side content. It's a for fun thing, rather than something you pick as your main job, which is why it's called a limited job.
when I open the launcher I have two choices
oooh ok
the first one, I just noticed, is for if I have a Square Enix account but have not added a Final Fantasy XIV service account.
I have a Square Enix account and I have added a service account. how else can I launch the game via steam?
can I launch it from Mogstation?
Have you already bought the steam version?
yes
I can forget it easily
is there a channel in this discord for lfg?
it was only the starter edition
kind of? in the FFXIV Recruitment category you have a recruitment thing, but that seems more for statics and free companies than anything else
Not really. The game's PF tends to be effective. There are recruitment channels, but that's used more for statics and FCs.
ok ty
ok I have uninstalled the starter edition from my steam and removed from my account. can I get it from Mogstation?
my gpu usage for the game suddenly went up what's the deal?
my revised engineering manual buff went poof out of nowhere while it had like 10 more hours to go, did i do something wrong?
You used up its exp limit
The description says something like "up to # exp" when you gain that much exp, it goes away regardless of how much time you have left.
Is there a way to make an alert for when my draught and food are about to wear off?
iâm sure thereâs a plugin for that but you could just look at the status effects to see when itâs going to wear off
I keep missing it, I rather have sound
You could make them bigger on your hud
make it really really big on the hud
Okay so there isn't and I have to hope there's a plugin then
spikes hqappe3n
About to have my 2nd level 90 (dnc), but that poses the question about where to get my next playable class for the rest of ew
I hate wasting exp
Does anyone know how long it would take to go lvl 74 to lvl 83
74-80 should be pretty quick since the armoury exp is 100% not 50%
just wear your memphina, eat boiled egg and start roulette/highest leveling dungeon/bozjan whatever suit your liking
is new crafting gear supposed to come out in 6.1?
Yes
so is there no point for me to penta meld my current crafting gear?
It will help you make it

Is there a written guide/pic that explains P3S's fof?
I have to 100% Eureka again on a new character, is it much easier to do now? haven't done it since it released
my wife still has progress on her main and is gonna try to help me clear it all over again any tips?
where do you get the first tome gear set now ?
i can't find it
i can only find the weapon
Radz-a-hans at the Tome vendor
Nuts
deepshadow is on nuts
oh
In the crystarium
k
Is the stoneskin add in e8s stunnable, or is the only way to interrupt its cast is an interrupt?
Interrupt
ty!
Heyo o/
Alright so can I get a list of the classes from easiest to hardest to master?
oh welp
what I might find super intuitive or difficult might not be the same for others
Right but I figured that some classes had a higher barrier to entry then others
The skill floor of all jobs are low
barrier to entry imo is solely by the level they start at just because you don't learn things one ability at a time
Just press your buttons
Ah, I see. Thanks!
what food for gunbreaker?
easier yeah, I forgot I think there's a 300% echo, just buy the BiS armor kirin/vermillion then start grinding the challenge log
can i macro
/gs change 1
/ac "Hell's Ingress" (reaper dash)
change back to previous gearset / class
?
are you trying to do the henshin macro?
the what? đ
A little macro I made for my innocent monk to transform into the deadliest primal-slaying machine.
/e "Initializing Transformation Sequence... ďźse.13ďź" ďźwait.1ďź
/ac "Fists of Wind" ďźwait.1ďź
/gs change 26 ďźwait.1ďź

kinda, he manually types in what class to switch back to, so i guess id have to make a macro for ever class i have
has anyone here done the quest "the greatest story never told"?
im having some issues with it
i looked the guide up as well
ive made it to riddle two and got janell
she gave me the 3 locations and ive gone to all 3 but theres nothing at any of them
ive back tracked and talked to janell and the valant hart dude like 5 seperate times trying to see if i missed anything, ive even tried using the key item book on all of them
im beginning to think its a glitch
cause on the guys video guide, the locations he goes to shows a spot you can interact with that isnt appearing for me

like im super stuck it makes no sense
hmm
maybe one option is just restarting the quest if youâre absolutely convinced itâs glitched?
im not sure whats going on,
i thought itd be a quick quest for easy exp on a new class i started
Have you checked the wiki guide?
wasnt expecting it to send me on this insanely long journey but now my OCD makes me wanna finish it
And verified your riddle against the answers there?
ive looked at a few different guides. i havent looked at the wiki though
has answers inside not spoiled so scroll down carefully
yeah i have the answers
It's got the specific answers for every single part of the riddle, and each version of it.
is it possible to get rid of this up/down thing?
Plus locations
for hotbars
my point is theres nothing at the locations of the answers
Which riddle do you have?
I don't think you actually have to go to the locations.
Character Configuration>Hotbar Settings>Enable hotbar cycling button
"display hotbar cycling button"
turn that off
but ive also tried going back to jahelle and valant a few times and they keep repeating the same text so im at a loss
thanks
Did you go back there before you tried the locations?
Did you interact with the riddle/Valant?
yep
It's been ages since I last did the quest so I'm just covering bases here.
ive done every variation of talking to each person at each location, and tried showing them the book
need some help with restoring my ui settings. long story short - one drive fucked up all my files and i ended up rage uninstalling it. now i still have the files from before onedrive fucked em up but anytime i copy paste them into the documents folder, it still doesnt update my macros.
can i buy a sanguine scepter ?
yeah about that
You should be able to, yes. It's a craftable item.
i hear that ping determines slidecast window is that true?
my ping usually sits around 92 ms
not sure if that's considered low ping
The music has stopped for everything for some reason but my volume in the settings are fine
All thats playing is the ambience and sound effects
I was in Limsa a while ago but rn in the Aleport
I even went to fight something and no battle music started playing
You can try restarting your game.
glitched probably
I will try
do people do pf for df for potd
Usually just queue it for floor 51-60
just do matched party for 51-60
Earlier floors you might need to make a PF for.
i always did matched until hitting 50
ok sounds good
You can do matched parties for the lower floors, but your queue times are likely to be absolutely horrendous.
Because almost nobody queues for the lower floors.
Is hard to get ahold of support or is there a number ?
how do i determine my slidecast window?
its the last 0.5s as far as i know
everything i've read say ping makes a difference
i'm not sure what constitutes as low ping but my ping is 90-95 ms usually
Go to a dummy
I have 200 ping and pretty much around .5s
and cast a skill, and try to move
so i don't think it matters much
generally it is the last .5s
also anything below 100ms usually comes with no restrictions on how you have to behave
so you should be fine with "default" advice
somewhere between .36 and .28 is what i've gotten so far
I usually just do it by feel. Enough practice and you just know
okay it's .28
if you are using xivlauncher there is a plugin that can show a slidecast window on your castbar
which is customizable to whatever you want
If it helps, you can include an emote on your hotbar (or anywhere). When the emote lights up, you can move-- that's your slidecast window before the next GCD.
i noticed i still failed to slidecast at the 300ms window i had it set ti
i had assumed human error since it basically never comes to that but decided to give it a test
whats slide cast ?
Moving at the end of the cast bar
Before its finished
!faq slid
!faq slidecasting
⢠Slidecasting is the ability to
move at the end of the cast as the game registers your cast to be complete.
⢠Mistiming it too early will cause an interruption and moving late will cause your next queued hardcast to get interrupted. (ping relevant)
⢠Here is a visual (courtesy of Cecilia Atwood) of the estimated time the game snaps the cast to be complete:
there's a specific point you can move before it ends
Is there a Discord for Crystal raiding?
I know, hilarious jokes. But I'm actually wondering.
for most people it's .5 as the 0others said but since my ping is fairly low it's shorter
interesting. TY
i basically spammed cure while staring at the meter until i figured it out
It's called slidecasting because you're animation locked into the casting animation, so your character sort of slides in the direction you want to move.
cool. gonna set that up. i like that idea
ya ive seen that alot heh
it looks cool :p
It's a very important tool to learn as a caster
It's a bonafide caster technique
^
not that hard once you have it down to muscle memory
Every single caster who wants to main as a caster (healers included) learns how to do it.
ok. ya jsut sort of started my WMG.
funny story i actually discovered it by accident due to a misclick
Can I transfer a character to another account?
that blows
question, I just started POTD and finished floors 1-10, now when I try to click on my save and boot into floor 11 it says my gear isnt good enough
do I have to make a new save or is there a way to bring the same character through the first 10 floors agfain
You can reset your save.
gear doesnt matter in potd
that would be bad since people could use it to steal characters
You have to reset your save.
You need more aetherpool
thats so stupid
Until you get enough aetherpool to move onwards.
It basically means you didn't open any silvers
Cause the requiremebt is like +3 on both
also why do people keep giving me free money
my party opening them isnt good enough? do I have to do it myself
am i just that cute?
Are you a low level sprout
?
You need to get +3 on both arms and armour
level 56 is my highest job
10 bucks on skimpy outfit catgirl in limsa
No, if your party opens them you'll get credit too.
Could've been. It's rare, but it does happen.
Look at your aetherpool
There you go
And there's your problem
Rng didn't give you any armour ups
So reset your save and do 1-10 until you get +3 armor
okay
Or use the other save
yeah just using other save
is it gonna take a while to get through the first 50 floors?
Depends
cause I was only doing this to unlock hoh to level 60-70 lol
You'll need I think 25/25 to get to floor 41-50.
So there'll be some rng, and also your queue times are going to be pretty awful for the middle range floors
great
Strongly recommend making a fixed party with some friends, or attempting it solo.
any job recomendations for soloing it
RDM, WAR... I think MCH is good too?
Sge maybe?
How can I know when a super FATE pops? While playing and/or not playing
For example: Chi and Daivadipa
Where do I unlock the Cloud Deck (Extreme)? I don't have Cloud Deck (Normal) and haven't done any of the Ruby/Emerald/Diamond Weapon stuff.
Extremes can only be unlocked after youâve completed their normal versions
Then thereâs a dude right by that unlocks the EXs
So youâll need to do all of the weapon trials to unlock it
I can't find out where to go though, all the "how to unlock" pages I can find for Cloud Deck only say "Talk to this guy to get EX"
!quest Ruby Doomsday
The Resistance and Alliance forces prepare in earnest as a new threat looms on the horizon.

its simple do normal talk to yoshi p
OH That quest okay
Yep looks like that's that.
Normally, the only way to tell is to be in the area when they appear. Hunt specific discords tend to keep tabs on those fates however. Centurio Hunts or Faloop for example.
or just being in the area and see ppl spam lfg
Urm I'm trying to progress my bozja quest and I'm stuck trying to do the Castrum Lacus raid, but its always empty, been attempting it for 3 days now and no luck, suggestions? I can't progress at all
Okay thank you
do you guys think they'll nerf monk?
They just buffed it last patch so no
THAT STUPID RIDDLE QUEST
Nerfs aren't a big thing, they rather bring up other jobs
FFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF
ÂŻ\_(ă)_/ÂŻ
It's still not top adps iirc
where do i get my chocobo suit
do i have to complete hw to unlock flight in it's zones
Yes
you need to do the aether currents
Welcome to post arr, flight is now earned
!faq flying
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
Tldr use the aether compass and do blue quests
just spam the aether compass while you are doing MSQ, if it's like <400 yalms, get the current first
also is there a use for poetics besides gear?
i've already got a full of ironworks set for my main class
should i work on getting a zodiac weapon or just upgrade my current gear
level cap or poetics cap
since i plan to still do my dailies for the easy xp i'll be getting quite a few
Level cap. Relic weapons are the best for that expansion, but as soon as you get into the next expansion they're immediately outstripped.
And it's a long grind.
so just burn them on augmenting
You can't augment previous expansion gear anymore
Haven't been able to since the beginning of ShB when they changed the system.
oh i saw augment on the table of contents
It's a little outdated
is there a reason why we cant log off using a bed in an FC room or apartment?
Because technically those spaces don't exist unless someone is physically in them.
oh
ikrđ¤Ź
And people can edit them
Which would cause issues
It's why we don't have a glamour dresser as furniture
If you log off inside of any type of personal housing (including FC houses), you'll log back in outside of that building.
SchroĂŤdinger's housing.
which duty roulletes should i be doing while going through hw
all of em
Any of them you want?
Waaaaaaay too unstable
But only for your alt jobs.
even guildhiests
That's the worst
Your main job will be waaaayyy overleveled if you do roulettes and MSQ
Too much custom shit, multiple can people have authority to rearrange furniture
Don't bother with guildhests.
Etc etc
its only useful for clusters
true, but apartments dont have that right?
Why wouldn't they
Apartments are still player-modifiable zones.
So even if only one person can have edit authority there, they follow the same rules as other housing.
Same for FC personal rooms.
yes but I mean, you cant have someone else modify an apartment right?
ocean fishing 81-90? or just daily gc hand in?
i'm not really that interested in other jobs rn
yeah, don't need to get into them
should i just skip duty roulette then
Then you don't really need to do roulette while you're still going through MSQ.
Yes
are there any other dress clothes like suites and tuxes that are not from the paid shop?
Pretty sure you can and even then all the instability isn't worth the effort
If you're gonna overlevel
Lots
There's a wedding gear shop in uldah
If that's what you want
oh cool, where in uldah is that?
Right by the aetheryte plaza
Literally opposite the aetheryte
ok thanks!
One of the little shops in the wall there.
Are there any free xp boosters apart from resting, food, and brand new ring
Not that you can get without spending money
Damn :(
FC buffs
bozjan earring
I think there's a personal buff correlating to the FC buff as well, but the two are mutually exclusive.
/preorders but you're late for that one
Road to 80 also, but only if you start on a preferred or "new" status server/transfer to OCE like now
are there any tips for remembering to reapply dots? or is it just practice?
Only works 71-80
you reckon buying cordial with gc seals is worthed? đ¤ or get the high cordial from the white scrips one?
Put the enemy HP bar with their debuffs somewhere central and make it big.
Ive read on reddit about some Aether Treasure discord, are these links available somewhere?
If its not in #resources go searching yourself
is it possible to make a macro that says something in the chat and uses an ability
You don't get pity loot
gc seals are very easy to come by but it's the same with white scrips for high cordials
But you can loot all the chests.
what's "pity loot"?
The free piece of gear you're guaranteed upon finishing every single leveling dungeon.
That goes directly into your inventory/armory
thank you so much
ah i see
ok ty ty
yeh, leveling my botanist since I just finished MSQ, done my hand-in and just doing collectables for now đ
leves is a must do when I have the allowance?
for gatherers i find collectables a lot faster, didn't touch leves at all
ok ty ty
but the big exp one is timegated, should I do the small exp one while waiting?
I've set timer for the 81-87 collectables, I will be doing it when it's available
I just did whatever collectables I could (of the time gated ones) and just waited during downtime
I also was leveling miner at the same time so there wasn't as much downtime
doing leves in the downtime between collectables is fine
but don't bother with the always available ones
personally i just did the non timed node collectables during downtime
ok ty ty
so long as you're doing something
Are there any therapists that play this?
the story itself is some sort of psychotherapy đ
is it possible to make a party with only yourself
lol
How many times do I need to meld for the stardust rod quest ?
i was hoping i could talk to my pet in part chat
if you want to test /say without bothering anyone, use /echo
the text will only shows to you
is there a way to not show a specific piece of gear? For example, I got the best man's outfit that is only top bottom and shoes but the other gear i have clashes with them so i want to hide them
the emperors new clothes
You can use the Emperor's New [clothing item] to glamour "nothing" onto a piece of armor.
oh cool, where do i get those?
it has from head to toe, which part you want to be invisible
pray return to the waking sands and to talk a npc vendor nearby
(also includes accessories)
also fists for monks if you rather go bare knuckle
you can get them pretty cheap on the market board
Jackie Chan
How can I transition easier from Sam to mnk for now?
Trying to learn as my second meele
sam and mnk pretty similiar to me for some reason, i came from NIN backgroun and always had a problem playing SAM
um practice and play it theirs no secret to it
while I tried out MNK, It also helped me play SAM đ
what does this mean
Read your tooltips, learn your combo sequences. Check the Balance for general play and optimisation guides.
busy so they dont see whispers or friend requests
youre a ticking bomb, jk
Ok ..I'm more use to Sam so mnk is all new to me
ooh I see
the main thing you can take from all melee jobs is ofc the role actions and that each skill one melee jobs does require a postinal to get more dmg
Well not each
they all have a positional
Yeah but not each skill
that be like old monk a pain in the ass , bad wording at least one of the melee job has at least one postional skill
old monk
what does parse mean
Measure your damage output and condense it into a readable comparable figure.
!faq parse
a percentage rank of how well you did
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
in short how well you are doing , up time , actions etc dont worry about it
Higher number = better damage/healing/speed (depends which tab you're on)
as the number means that you're better than X% of players who submitted a log for that fight with your job
i can't seem to find the vender in vesper bay that sells the emporers set
!quest absolutely glamourous
Do that
oh so i have to level a crafting class first?
only up to 15 , which is extremally easy
what does upgrading arcanist to summoner actually change? the only thing i can see is the summon ifrit instead of carbuncle that does slightly more damage
You get more skills and traits from leveling up and doing the job quests
Base game classes stop getting skills and traits at level 50
Everything past that is job stuff
And 30-50 has job stuff too
everything đ don't stay on a class, you'll grief the party
can someone help me finishing a scar for blackmage jobquest?
job quest is a solo thing, if you can't figure it out, just play it with very easy difficulty
na its not solo some quests before that ive done it together with someone else
you can make scars in a group
Can u deal descent dps even if ur rotation isn't perfect 100% of the time?
yeah, just don't die and do basic thing, easy blue/purple
yes, in fact almost every player you ever see isn't doing a perfect rotation
"perfect rotation" is like for those who are aiming for 90-100 performance lol
i've only ever tanked in four-man dungeons. how does tanking work in 24-man raids, like the nier ones? is there a main tank when you're all sharing one collective boss? or does every tank have their tank stance on at the same time?
yes
depends on the boss
24 man raids are casual content
nothing hard or serious about them
if it's 1 boss - you all share
but some fights are 3 bosses or parties do different things
if there's 1 boss, I usually just take my tank stance off, if there are multiple boss, A take left side, B take center, and C take right side @strong rover
whichever tank has aggro on the main boss is the main tank
just don't be those tanks with fragile egos
the nier raids make me feel like i have the spatial awareness of a toddler
that need to enter provoke wars
A take left side, B take center, and C take right side
for every alliance raid
from crystal tower to nier, all the same
pfft, no need to do provoke wars when the other tank sux
i'm not! i'd rather just be blue dps 99% of the time, to be honest
I just get aggro back in 10 seconds anyway
yeah, that's why you take your stance off if it's a solo boss
if those other tanks want aggro they better outdps me
as DRG I sometimes deal less damage than tanks, as AST the best I've done in P1S is 4%
I've asked advise four hours the past weeks, studied stuff from balance, have (kinda) optimal gear/materia, I've studied my logs in xivanalize .
For the SSS dummy from P3S I've reached only 4% when time was over after some tries.
Yesterday a friend asked me to get out of the party for P3S cause my DPS wasn't helping
What else can I do to be better?
post an xivanalysis
!faq sss
- SSS does not account for a jobâs RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
- SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
- Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
- Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
- SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
- 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
- Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
well yes, but if you can't kill the dummy to begin with that's a serious problem anyway
yeah, yesterday another DRG had the same ilvl as me and he did it with 12 secs left
I think you posted your xivanalysis last week, since I remember checking it
as an AST, many fundamental problem
before advancing to the next stage
My rotation isn't perfect, but I use Balance opener and rotation
SSS scales different based on the job doing it
If you're struggling with fundamentals, maybe you should try adjusting your hotbars/keybinds and HUD settings. That can help.
the DRG dummy is different than the AST dummy
For one
Always Be Casting
I recall looking at one of your logs too. your issue is uptime
your log had like 70% uptime
yes, It was me, I got 0.8% as AST with self learning, and I got 4% after using balance opener, all of that in P1S.
that's awful and it's something you need to fix
If you're casting and you're not in immediate danger
