timings weird
just shows order
basically fuma is anything length 1
first 3 ends in ten/chi/jin and is length 2
last 3 ends in ten/chi/jin and is length 3
I imagine a working macro would take 3 secs to execute a ninjutsu
I think it would take 4
Which is why they don’t work

i like how he has raiju on his hotbar even though hes not even out of arr yet
hehe
How can anyone play like this?
I see thanks, seems like i'm good then since all the server status's says new and not congested/standard
Yep
Anyone know why i cannot renew subcription? its not the money or my card, since ive used multiple cards and stuff, they always charge $0.00 when i click renew subscription, it says my end date is today and my next day of billing is in 30 days,
Hey is there an area with 89 level mobs that DON'T have distance attacks of any sort?
im obsessed with HUD showing the most possible things at once
i call that masterpiece "the dashboard HUD"
btw i never knew that uh gysahl greens are saved whenever you level up cuz it resets to 30min
XD i only used 1 greens and got to lv6 from lv1
I wonder if you can store multiple of the same unique equipment in the glamour dresser
what counts towards this?
is this a question or a comment? either way you should be able to store multiples
any ex or savage duty regardless of whether or not it's currently a "high end"
i think people commonly run emanation ex for them
8-man normal raids also count, like alexander and omega
i see, so pretty much the same as the other one right?
that one is a bit more restricted.
it only allows dungeons past level 60, extreme trials above level 60, 50/60/70/80 roulette, and leveling roulette
the roulette options can only be done once per day for achievement credit
yeah, thank you man, cheers!

What does shirk do?
It’s for tank swaps. When you have to give aggro to the other tank
it moves part of your aggro to your target
it makes tank swaps safer since you increase the gap between you and the other tank
Got it
the off-tank would provoke first, and then the main tank would shirk them
I see
anyone know what gear this is, if at all? https://twitter.com/navigavi/status/1490217061225988102?t=i23CiuV_aK7cYPhDt6a00g
looks like bonewicca shadow's chestpiece
plus shb whm relic weapon
Ah it is, ty
sweetness !
does every zone have /lookout points ?
Yup, you can check your sightseeing log to see how many are in each zone
Is there any food/item that increases dow/dom xp gain?
all food items increase EXP gained by 3%
Ty!
where do i find people organizing gdkp runs? since theres no trade chat or something like that its much harder to get in contact with them
gdkp?
savage runs where people bid gold for an item instead of rolling then the gold gets spread to the party at the end
first time I've heard of it. In any case most people use Party finder for finding groups to do specific content with.
really? they were pretty big in wow until personal loot and are huge in classic and classic tbc
thought they were more common here as well since theres no personal loot
So far I've only seen people put up PF offering to give gil for loot
Not specifically what you described
gotcha
yeah, stuff like "1m per person if mount drops"
the wording is important to avoid being hit by possible ToS breaking.
The main idea is that you're buying the content/clear, and not selling the clear to others.
its all ingame so theres no ToS problems
can you not sell boosts for gold?
thats something i didnt hear, like RMT i get it but if its paid with gil then there shouldnt be a problem
SE semi-recently revised ToS so selling clears for gil isn't allowed anymore.
but as long as you buy the clear with gil, that's allowed.
lemme see if I can dig up the exact lodestone post that gave examples about it.

Hello i just had a quick question about all the gear i have collected so far. Im a lvl 58 black mage and also have monk to 53 so i have a bit of gear in my bags at this point. Not that im out of room but its just messy 😛 Now all i pretty much have done so far is MSQ so i may not know of a system but is there a point to keep any of this old gear?
some gear is shared between jobs so you could keep some if you plan on leveling alt jobs in the near future but otherwise it's safe to toss/sell/exchange them
okay cool thanks! Is there any sort of transmog system that the old gear apparnces are stored?
i'm not really familiar with wow stuff but i think the equivalent would be the glamour plates/glamour dresser
haha all good it was the only word i knew to describe it 😛 Ill have to look into glamour things
Got a friend who just crafted a lot of the lvl 64 BSM collectable turn in items, and her BSM is 64 but its not letting her trade them in? anyone have any idea why?
collectability is maxed
are they they the correct collectable lvl
do you know the best way to get materias X please ? 🙂
there is no more hunt to get 1 by monster ?
which ones combat,crafting or gathering
Does the road to 80 buff for transferring to OCE affect crafters and gatherers?
market board ;-;
other than that you can do the alliance/leveling roulettes with adventurer in need
Is it normal for the test charge yo buy stuff like game time to be almost 9 hours?
anyone trying to do sastasha (first MSQ dungeon)
best bet is to use the duty finder, not here
yeah been using it. havent had luck yet but it is 7 AM so ill try again later lol
yes
If you just queue up for the instance it will match you with people
you talk to me ? :p
well you did ask about materia
That's what they mean by duty finder - party finder is different
i don't know, there are different kind of materias ?
yh combat , crafting and gathering
Sweet thanks, no time like the present to level my gathers and crafters then
oh il talk about combat materias 🙂

they made the "Rarefied High Steel Claw Hammer"?
Yeah, I think we figured it out. She was in Rhalgr's Reach and that possibly may have been limiting things somehow?
for combat you can spam leveling roulette for adventure in need for the tokens , do hunts and exchange deez nutz, do the expert roulette and make sure to pop a spirit bond potion for your gear and hope you get some from the chests
it shouldn't have been. 
thats what i thought too, i am not sure at all whats happened but she just found it in Rhalgrs so 
did they lvl up during making the collectables while near the collectable guy
but noone does the hunt for materias X 😦
you can do the normally daily hunts for nuts its a decent way to lvl alt jobs get some extra gil and ofc the nuts currency this includes both shb and ew normal daily hunts 20-30 mins
Do we get any other mounts from the comms achievement cause I just hit 500?
there's the gold magitek mount and the pope chocobo
pope chocobo is at like 2k? iirc
ok thank you
that's all of them
Aww wish there was more
for just coms yes , but coms can you let you become a mentor which gives you access to the mentor roulette which is more titles,loot and mount
The people who mentor seem to generally be bad from what I've seen and have rendered being a mentor a bad thing in common opinion
By bad I mean they feel snarky or have an ego, or are even just.. not helpful
Oh also is adlo spamming ok for now after I use everything?
sad but true
I heard about that
I'm mostly a tank and healer player so idk what advice I can offer
Explaining mechanics if someone is new, for example
Even something like that if you know they can be rough or not quite obvious right away
being mentor is like being a supervisor you want the bonus for standing around doing nothing
lmao true
I'm not much of a SCH player otherwise I'd have answered
even if you're out of everything, adlo spam is generally not recommended
Ah ok
Though from my understanding spamming the shield heal vs (if you're early on) physick might be a huge investment of mana, and most of the effective heal (the shield) is wasted
Just as one example
I'm still learning sch
I haven't really touched it in a while.. mine is 90 but that's thanks to SMN
I just like my legos
I have the three at 90 and sch 83
I like legos too
But I have to complete all healers to 90
I feel it
Is there I should use then?
I'm slowly getting everything up to 71 rn for Zadnor
I haven't unlocked Zadnor yet
4 dps jobs left
if you are literally out of everything, and you need to be spamming something
spam physick
spamming adlo is a very quick way to destroy what mp you have left
Ok and I'll keep that in mind then
Nice I got rdm 90 earlier today
But maybe we should dm or move this Convo somewher else lol
Is sage harder then the other healers?
I want to pick it up but it's been years since I've done a healer job
easier than SCH I would say
so if you could play SCH, It would be walk in the park
at least that's what I experienced
weskalber on youtube has a leveling guide on sage so that will prolly help
anyone able to que with me rq for a msq dungeon? need a healer or tank for a quick q
I will check it out thx
Yeah the wesk alber video is really good
There's alot of comparisons and similarities to scholar
#retired-na-datacenters would prolly be a better place to look for that, but this discord doesnt do much compared to the in game options

if i do identical cast on a collectable fish and then use double/triple hook will it always get away because its a collectable?
My summoner is at 90, I've been doing raids n such, but im just not sure what to do. Cuz I have expert roulettes n stuff but I want to actually use my level 90 jobs, is there something I can do at level 90?
Where to level as new player? Like I'm currently at 47 around 60% to 48 and I need 49 to continue my MSQ? I'm looking for the most efficient way to do it, I got kinda invested in story tbh
Do I have to find online where the dungeon is or should I have it unlocked by now?
Also I do not have to go with the 'adventurer in need' to do the daily roulette, yes?
ye u can ignore adventurer in need
the 47 dungeon is.. aurum vale i think, thats a sidequest dungeon iirc
Thank you!
unsynch old trials for mounts, farm treasure maps, do fates, work on some relics, etc
we'll get more new stuff to do at cap later in the expac, this is pretty much the "leveling" phase of the expac
Idk if they'll always get away but it definitely won't get you more fish
sadge no cheesing collectables
I am currently a lvl 21 Thumaturge, and I want to change to an archer, but it says that I need to finish my lvl 10 class quest in order to do so?
Is this referring to the hunting log's rank?

#2 shows them

thank you
question for running potd for alt classes, would you just reset progress when you switch classes or how does that work?
You need a new save file
if i just follow the questline in eureka, will I naturally clear the stuff I need to clear to progress or should I be reading a guide on what to do
Aetherpool is shared between everything
read a guide
1000%
spending an hour of research will save you 20 down the line
esp if you want armor or relics
anyone who plays rpr, should i use grim swathe at all after getting gluttony?
why wouldn't you?
hello, could anyone tell me how to make that sort of macro where if you place it in the hotbar, it makes it easier to swap between jobs.
example: a red dps symbol, if you click it makes you chose between dps jobs
i've seen it somewhere from some stream
Does anyone know where I can get a good levelling guide?
I’ve checked on google but they’re pretty meh
unless it's your main job then just do msq
yeah
msq is first priority for levelling, always
alt jobs, roulettes and dungeons. fates in shb and ew, if you want to make a bit of money too, but that's slower than roulettes and dungeons.
Ah I see, where would dungeons come under?
I’m level 48, which dungeon would be the best to do?
My msq quest is lvl 49
!faq altlvlguide
your grand company should have quests to unlock dzemael darkhold (44) and aurum vale (47)
how do i check what i have to do next in eureka?
you gotta level up more.
I think it tells you what level you need to be if you talk to her
it's been so long since I've done the eureka story 
huh okay apparently i needed to kill a mob to continue
do we know what the formula is for calculating dmg with potency
Forumla on the study site
alright thanks
don't quite understand this, does this mean I deal more dark and take less water?
Do you level dps jobs with trusts or q still better?
potd/hoh/bozja and squadron/trusts
You take less to water and that's it
You see what's elemental opposites targetting something
this means the mob is weak to dark? I don't get it
Lightning
huh
Lightning is strong against water
oh okay i get it now
So I payed for a sub and still waiting to test charge to be over, is it normal for me to be waiting over 10 hours?
does normal food work in eureka?
ye
sounds about right
If that’s the case that’s a relief then that this is normal. Means I can wait more without worry, thank you
mogstation is always a little slow for stuff, but it'll get the job done
if not support is decent about it
is there a fetes tracker?
i dont think so, since they normally jsut state when the next one is in the instance
does anyone a damage chart that I can install with dalamud?
dalamud doesnt have parsers
ahh gotcha
should i try to balance my eureka challenge log or can I just do all the water challenges asap
It resets Tuesday so get what you can done
For some reason, I've cleared all the normal raids for Endwalker, but I haven't been able to unlock the savage tier. I've looked up the NPC location online and the NPC has nothing to give me and I don't have anything in my journal for it.
hi guys, got a question about desinthesis, do i get more desinthesis points the larger the difference is between des level and item ilvl ?
Click the high end duty tab
ye
Well THERE YOU GO! Thank you so much!
exact science of it is pretty RNG tho but thats how it works in general
Understood! I will do my best to remember that. First time stepping into it with some friends.
when can we expect the next moogle treasure trove event?
You gonna say what it is or what

for eureka, once I get to lv9 and finished most of my challenge log do i just sit in town and wait for fates?
you can grind exp and hate your life , wait for reset for challenge logs or do the fates
thats pretty much what i ended up doing, its the ffxi experience
what about aetherites, do I go out of my way to unlock them?
ye
Did you just unlock Eureka in 2021 and you're a new player or just want to figure out what there is to do in Eureka? Eureka was the first content that involved an instance with up to 144 players, before Bozjan Frontline came out. Eureka is the zone that was used to obtain the Relic weapons for the Stormblood Expansion, and some cool glowy equipm...
this should give ya a better idea of what to do and how to do it
lol okay was originally avoiding it because it was way longer than the other guide vids
but i'll watch this i guess
Are allagan tombstones still useful after arr? Ive got pretty much all the ironworks gear already.
yep
they can get you ilvl 530 gear in shb
poetics are used to get all the max level tomestone gear from old expansions
50/60/70/80 all got tomestones gear
poetics are basically the catchup currency
and no, there isn't
later there are also other kinds of tomes which are used to buy endgame gear
Rewards for doing arbitrarily decided duties and the 2 msq dungeons
when
Technically they can already see them
Go ask squenix
can they? don't they only unlock in the currency menu once you get a job to 90?
ik the weekly timer is there from the start, ever confusing people
I'm pretty sure they're always visible
They are
whats the quickest way to get 1 more ilvl? im on the "stormblood" quest, but cant enter it as i need 280 ilvl and have 279
Did you get your job quest gear
job quest gear? isnt that for lower lvls?
Specifically to help complete the base msq
where do i get it?
for allagan gear i have to finish this one quest i think

still don't understand a lot of things even after watching that vid tbh, do I just join every single fate even if I'm underlevelled, won't it bother other players or something?
do the quests that show up at #2
which you should have done asap anyway
quests that pop up there are very important
You’re also missing your big lvl 70 skill
it's not like you can negatively impact them tbh
huh, why? Aren't i underleveled or something?
you still give the 1% role buff
Yes but worst case scenario is you die and other people shrug
you dying doesn't hurt them
plus its not like theres enough people around where they can turn new players around
gotta take who they can get
Plus fates are very public stuff, anyone can join anytime
is it safe to run past high levelled mobs?
is midgardsommar down
depends on the type of aggro
most of the time no, you'll get your ass beat and lose exp
No aether entry for new people/transfers
sorry
im a subscriber
i got a 9002 error right at the end of my lvl 70 gunbreaker quest fight and now i can't get in
do different pieces of gear spiritbond at different rates? in full 50 poetic, but some pieces seem to cap faster than others (no materia on any to speed up rates)
hm interesting. ive def had pieces at like 98/99 and others at 100 when i keep them all the same which is weird (all same quality)
Well it does depend on what you kill and how close that thing is to the lvl the item is
so if you got the pieces at different points in time and are just doing various content it can be wildly different
most noticeable when im in full poetic, and theres up to a 3% variance in spiritbond which is odd
like theyre all the same quality, type, lack of materia, and all used together, but not the exact same
had to go afk, so where to i find the job quest gear in SB? :p
What Ilvl is the current best obtainable gear? I'm about to hit 90 and 580 crafted looks like the best I'll be able to access for a while

do all the quests listed at #2 now
Ty! Gonna grab a set, then
580 is enough to do all the content in the game so far, 600 is from a mix of tome and savage gear
if you're not interested in high end raiding 580 is fine
idk where to find it then, havent gotten any popup about new job quests after heavensward
tomes are weekly locked so you can only get 1~ piece a week its 590 > upgrades to 600
did oyu finish all the hw patch quests
yeah
I'll probably get to high end raiding but I need gear in the meantime. Crafted into tomes is the plan now lol crafted gear gonna let me skip all the in between
ohh i actually never noticed quest top left of screen
yea thatll tell you where the next one is
so its "friends through eternity" i guess
yea crafted is what people normally buy to start raiding then just earn tomes/savage gear drop weekly
i just got scholar and i have a question about the summons
No difference
nothing but looks
Is there a place somewhere to google waymarker macros
theres a third party plugin that has some that are easy to use if you have xivlauncher
lets you save more than 5 sets / has some universal ones for things like savage etc
Oh, it comes with the macros/placements stored in it already?
Waymark macros don't exist cause you can't macro waymarks
you gotta select what you want but yea it has it storeed
Need third party stuff or use the saved waymark loadouts
i use it store ultimate markers/old savage markers
whats it called?
waymark preset plugin i believe
lemmie log in quick
but its one of the plugins there
ill check it when out of cutscene
idk if it has updated stuff for EW savages but i know it has shb markers for like all the extremes/ultimates etc
for guildhests do you have to talk to the dude to finish it, or can you just leave by pressing U?
https://github.com/Em-Six/FFXIVWaymarkPresets/wiki old ones are here
for shb stuff fand stuff
it has current apparently now
you copy the paste string in and hit imort
then it saves it
and you can use it
how long did it take for sage to "click" with you?
Immediately cause I played scholar before
I feel like all the time I played AST would skew my answer a bit
i've only played as a white mage before
but it was pretty quick cause i play healer in high end
sge is the easier shield healer to play
but i'm a casual player
has more heals that are readily available vs aetherflow jank
to start with
70 dungeons are a good way to get a feel for it
SGE's job gauge are similar to the WHM gauge
charges by itself, consume a charge to do something

This is about as loaded a subjective question as it gets
just start casually playing it then
because subjective questions will never really speak to what you will experience
at best you are basically asking for an excuse whether to try it and thats understandable.
so go try it
Is there much reason to do the 18h retainer ventures? Is there anything specific you can only get from them?
main city aetheryte > visit world server > go back to your home server
The aetheryte’s the big blue crystal right?
yea gridania, limsa, or uldah
Alright, thanks
I made a full PF for first circle savage to practice getting better at the fight
but it won't let me join duty?
2nd bullet
Read the second bullet
Uh, how do I sprint
Use the sprint skill
press the the sprint button
In action and traits > general
Oh, for some reason on console it’s not in the hot bar by default
Pretty sure it is on the right side on lv1 stuff
Expansion jobs would fill the slots and push it out
what tank has the least amt of buttons to press lol
Warrior
im at 80 and it's warrior
Im stuck between 3 mages, Astrologian, black mage and summoner. I'm going to end up playing all 3 of them yes, but im just asking which to level 1st
I would say healer, just because i prefer sitting at the back of the party chilling and healing/dpsing when it comes to it
I mean youre meant to dps at all times you arent healing
Hello, I'm new and wanted to ask if there's a way to swap M1 and M2 for turning camera and turning character. Couldn't find anything in the controls
Just feels very backwards for me
Im afraid that its the standard so no
but you can make it so that turning the camera also turns character by turning on legacy in the character config
Oh yo that's huge. thanks a ton
Thanks!
is there some etiquette in eureka when someone raises you? Or do I just thank them and go on my way
Yep that’s about it
What rank do you need to start doing GC turn ins
2nd Sargent
Thank you
how do i get more of this?
Can you comment out a macro line? I don't wanna delete it in case I forget it, but I don't want it to run. If I do double // it instead comes up as red text "does not exist.". Any way to just comment it out like in programming?
Rank up and turn in special fate items
rank up?
Level up basically
Just keep going ,you'll get to 5 eventually
The last 2 to get to 7 are optional
Do Kriles quests
I think it can be "commented out" by making it a /echo
Upon reaching elemental levels 3, 5, 13 and 17 you will unlock new quests from Krile, which reward you with the next pieces of Magicite,
Not an elegant solution but it might work
That's the thing, I don't want the echo. I don't want to forget it either but rather just keep it "off" as it were.
Yeah thought something like that might work instead...
Thanks for your help anyway 🙂
what plants should I generally work towards in gardening in endwalker?
for the 15 exploration challenge log, that has to be 18h ventures right? the quick explos dont work, but i was wondering if the hunting explorations count?

what to do best with wolf mark?
18 hour ventures, yes.
all the rewards are cosmetic so buy what you want
Just hit lvl 80 Cul, where do I gear the lvl appropriate gear?
Should I exchange poetics for ironworks armor set as a new player or do I save them/spend on something else?
You should
Also can I just spam this one dung for repeated reward or is it one time?
You could but it's hilariously inefficient
What else then
1h for 200 is a giant time waste
Do literally any other 50 dungeon
You have a ton unlockable
@odd wraith dont spam it like i did when i was going for full ironworks, just do your daily roulettes
Okie thank you
Plus you get Bonus on first runs through them
if i buy the complete edition on steam will my stuff save if i played just useing there client if i sign in with my account or will i have to reset?
You can't use steam unless you're on trial
i am a trial
Then yes
i was just wondering if i buy it there will all my progress from the trial trasnfer over
Trial to steam is the only time you can swap
What are the most popular lv50 dungeons? I play Bard and I don't fancy making queues longer than neccessary tbh so it would be great to just run popular ones
with switching over do i have to use mog station for that or can i just buy the compete edition on steam them sign in?
You MUST launch via steam after putting the code into mogstation
There aren’t any
alrighty
If you need poetics just do the patch msq stuff/roulettes
I just bought this game and tried making a character but after I pick a name it always says the world is full / cant create a character on this world... and every world is unavailable? anyone know what I can do
Pick somewhere other than aether
it's hard locked to aether i cant select anything
Title > Data centre
hey my friend is having a hard time enter his regerstation code to his account
which one of these 3 should i do
he bought the collectors edition made a square enix account
downloaded the launcher
Yes
asks him for the regisertation code
They didn’t get the base game did they
and then it says the code is invalid with the one that is provided in the order
Can someone help me with the following, I'm from NA and I originally picked aether as my world but every world on there is full...
I now have to pick either "crystal" or "primal" and I don't know what the difference is. also I was going to join gilgamesh on aether since i read that's the "raiding" world...
my question is: would I pick "crystal" or "primal" and what world would I pick for raiding? I don't want to do any rp etc. only interested in end game/raids
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
Tldr no difference
it doesn't really matter, there's no like "raiding worlds" whatsoever and the only notable things you'll find are rp'ers and languages
for picking a world
primal has a crap ton of people on it
Every data centre does
population isn't a big deal
Every datacenter will tell you that the other datacenter is probably better at raiding than the one they’re on
Grass is always greener
no ones running out of players to raid with
just pick a dc where your friends would be in
or something
.
Ones that you want to grow?
Can someone explain why the Recommended Gear is suggesting I REMOVE a piece?
It has stats I would want.
Cause the iron armour takes two slots
okay... if "gilgamesh" is the "raiding" server for "aether"
what would be the equivalent "world" for both crystal and primal?
It had higher stars to compensate
none
Any
individual world doesnt matter
the iron armor is more cumulative stats than helm and chest separately
gilgamesh just happens to have the highest population
since everything is cross world
Gilgamesh is no longer the raiding server
it's that dumb one that gives u a helmet too and looks dumb
That makes sense. I never knew there were multi slot equipment lol. ty.
you can raid with people across servers
oh okay. sorry i just read that on google
Old info is very irrelevant
Read the giant fucking bold text
and soon enough across datacenters
In the faq
yeah don't read stuff on google if they're from random articles dictating the specific nature of a world
It's written on the faq
they are most likely outdated
Yeah it's only like, 10 pieces of gear that does that
nice response. i literally got the game 30 minutes ago.
All in ARR because jank
so like, in a few months what dc you pick wont probably matter from now since you can pretty much raid from any dc in NA soon enough
just read the faq linked
And I posted the faq on iy
You're also a tank so you don't want to wear "disciple of war" gear over things that say " GLA MRD PLD WAR DRK GNB"
yeah just a heads-up, FFXIV has very... inconsistent nuggets of information regarding player culture so it's best to ask here to get actual takes than googling
articles are liable to be written by people who wanna get quick publicity. there's an infamous article that is immensely inaccurate that a fewp eople cite here and there

Hello i'm looking for some help setting up kupo bot on my server, where should I go to ask for that?
Are solo instances that take you out of your party ever for any important parts of the story like finally bosses and what not? Also are you able to watch cutscenes and stuff with your party at the same time
Yes solo intances are plot important
yes
Yes
Yes*
*assuming you're on the same msq or doing the same duty
Usually the most important
Uhhh
you can’t watch cutscenes with your party but you could ask them to do it alongside you if they’re at the same point in the msq
if it's a duty
it should be
otherwise
just gotta click on the dude at the same time 
Depending if you clear it faster by doing more dmg
Ok but I mean we can fight everyone together right
And not failing
it depends how fast you finish the duty
You're solo
No
It's a solo instance
No
Not all the time
Or are raids usually the final bosses of expansions
Also No
final bosses of expansions are 8man trials
Ah ok
Trials are not raids
Raids are optional stories
Solo instances are important parts with key moments
Is raids not 8?
it is
What plants are the most useful right now? Or cost the most on the market.
8mans or 24man
they're just not considered the same
But story wise
You do duties together
Main quest line
the bits inbetween could be annoying, but overall still a fun experience
Split for solo instances, regroup
this is the part where you both put on obnoxious outfits so you show up in duty cutscenes
Alright bet thanks!!!
I’ve been waiting for this character to show up, is this US?
No
That’s trailer man, they never appear in game
Derplander is the player standin
Also known as Meteor Survivor
He has no official name
Dude that’s literally a picture of me irl 👍
I thought Meteor Survivor was his official name.
Crying right now
no
Simp
Yes
big question, does 15-30 average fps severely affect gameplay in healing/tanking
recently downgraded so im afraid to pick up tanking and healing again because i might mess up badly
But yeah trailer man is a representation of us, the player character.
Severely? No. But it will affect it somewhat, probably.
It's like ping. You can adjust to it with some practice.
i dont mind the experience being bad, just dont wanna drag people down
ah well, thats manageable i guess
how does the p4s checkpoint work?
15-30 average fps
On the lowest settings?
after i got pyros blade from eureka do i need to upgrade it still or i can move to hydratos ?
on 720p :D
I meant your in-game graphics settings
and lowest too, yeah
oof
i had 1080p 60fps with everything on high and gshade on
so its a pretty terrible downgrade
if a quest says from 6 p.m. to 6 a.m. what time do you mean? Server, local or eorzea
eorza
thx
Do I need to buy endwalker to get stormblood? I want to make a red mage
I have the starter bundle
Yes
Endwalker bundles both ShB and SB so yes
You can't buy SB or ShB or EW separate from each other

To stop people doing a stupid
its in the pinned for future reference
you need expansions for access to jobs
I need help with HUD layout. Why do I have number on my hot bar
I left it unchecked 🤔
Oh okay I didn’t know
Is there a handy-list of stuff to unlock in ARR? Mostly just for double-checking since I'm almost at HW.
In particular not really
There's a shit ton of 50 dungeons
But they're not particularly worth going out of your way for
There are the ct raids which are mandatory
As well as level 50 versions of the primals from the arr story
Oh, another dumb question; Is there a "Best Time" to unlock all the other jobs?
No
What is RDM classified as? RNG magic? Or what?
I just completed the main story, how long is it until I unlock dark knight?
All caster dps have procs in some form, don’t they?
You could have unlocked it ages ago, in like, HW I think?
When you gain access to heavensward
no, take your own time in unlocking jobs
smn has no procs
Neither does blu
highly suggest you unlock other optional dungeons if you ever do in ARR though
i play with a playstation controller, and its annoying when i summon a pet to have it replace my 2nd crossbar
i know you can disable the pet hotbar, but is there any way to make it appear as a separate hotbar that i can click on without interrupting my scrolling through my regular cross hotbar

You know you can just hold r1 and switch manually between all 8 crosshatbars with a button press
yeah i know but in the heat of battle thats annoying to do
Any pet hotbar is gonna be inaccessible to you if you're exclusively using controller
There is a pet hotbar on the hud layout
Not like it's useful or anything and completely unnecessary at this point
i jsut have it disabled for now, i don't think i really need it for anything
Cause you dont
havent touched Smn since 3.0 but the job action trailer made me want to try it again 😛
You can just assign place and heel manually if you need it
The only positioning you need to worry about for Carbie is for when you toss out your raid buff, since it's centered on Carbie and not you.
And you can just take the Place Pet skill off the pet hotbar and put it on your normal hotbar, and delete the pet hotbar entirely.
Not like Summoner doesn't have the room.
Question, if i hold my WT till after the reset, will i be able to pick up a new one or will i lose out on the WT for next week?
is there a pic of all the paladin relics?
its in reverse order for some odd reason
You have the entire week to get the new WT
does culinarian have any alcohol recipes?
So ill be able to turn in this weeks, and get next weeks, in the same week?
Yeah, that’s how everyone does it
okie
What's the drop rate for the bird at dead ends?
we don't have that kind of info, but dungeon minions tend to be fairly low in my experience
Oh I figured people would've done a "after x runs I saw the thing y times"
It's possible, yeah, but the time investment to generate any relevant data like that is astronomical—which is going to by nature negatively impact the amount of people willing to do so.
i have a question for p4s p1: "xenos strat" means that people stay on their positions until debuffs were taken away from them, and then stack for tethers, right?
that's an #endgame-lounge question

but uh, i believe the answer is yes
Is there anyway to avoid the dungeon timeout if you quit? Does booting someone else first make it not trigger?
define timeout - the afk timer?
Or would I have to get myself kicked
Oh, that
The 30 minute timeout from queuing after leaving
If you are not the first to leave it does not trigger
and if you're kicked it also doesn't trigger
Good to know for next time lol
Get kicked or leave when the party isn't full
Does mog station hate money or something? i cant pay the subscription (its not a credit card issue) it says i have standard 30 day subscription, but i have 0 days subscribed xD
Free 30 days, use em
I cant, im trying to play but everytime i try to log in i get "This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired. "
you get charged only when your current sub runs out, base game includes free 30 days
yeah im aware, i have a free trial account i got to lvl 50, i bought the game on steam after that and linked the code i get with this account, but now i cant log in because of that
Are you launching via steam
i tried via steam and off windows
yeah i have, not working :/
Hi, I'm new to this game and someone told me yesterday that Aurum Vale is bad and you can party wipe in the first room. Is this true and is there anything I need to know before queueing up? I'm a bard, btw.
its a kinda funky dungeon
If tank hugs the wall, first room will be fine
Aurum Vale starts off with a wide area full of mobs. If you carelessly pull all of them, you'll wipe. The biggest things to keep in mind are: Hug a wall (while pulling mobs) in the first room, and eat fruits when your poison stack is 2+.
Eat fruit at 2 debuff stacks on first and third boss, otherwise it's just like any other dungeon if you're a dps
what's the current tincture of strength? grade 6?
Yep
Ok, thank you everyone!
hi! is there any way where to check where am i in the main storyline? i think im still in the r reborn
have you seen the giant HEAVENSWARD yet?
Is something wrong if the test charge lasts for over 24 hours without it being confirmed or canceled? I’ve waited now for around 15 hours after paying for sub and it’s still pending
not really
If you mean relative to the overall expansion progression, here's a list of every MSQ so you can see how far you are along https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests
amazing thanks!
The site in general has a lot of good reference material, and generally comes up if I search something like
[insert topic] ffxiv
which I tend to do to answer most questions
👀
How long does it take normally for test charge to work if anyones had to wait a long time for it here?
So I’m confused. I was doing an msq and suddenly all these people were asking for an invite. Why though?
which MSQ
HW
Be more specific. =P
A series of unfortunate events
No I meant people were asking for invite and for help. Idk why though.
Probably a hunt going on in the zone
A rare monster?
Yeah, people gather up to kill it
Yeah, that was going to be my next question, whether they were looking for group for your MSQ or whether it was just in the general zone shout chat
They will if the target is large enough =P
I meant didn’t think this game had those.
"Hunt trains" are player-organised large scale groups that go around various expansion zones killing high-ranking Hunt targets for specific game currency.
And if you’re insane
Certain zones also have specific boss-like foes that spawn very, very infrequently and give you a chance at obtaining things like rare mounts.
Mounts
I just keep loving this game more and more
And I mean it, it’s what, 1k S rank and 2k A rank targets?
Depending on the expansion, yeah. I believe there's also one for 2k S rank and 3k A ranks
if i only own up to shadowbringers does that mean i cant lvl past 80?
Correct
you can also check in your quest journal in game as the msq quests are organized by expansion and patches btw
oh really?
okay cool! Side question is it possible to turn off exp gain? 😛 I know that seems dumb but i feel by the time im done heavensward and the post patchs ill be lvl 63/64
and i dont like being super over leveled 😛
Nope
You can siphon off the experience with unlocking dancer or Gunbreaker
Or with Red Mage/Samurai
Overleveling isn't really an issue, since most of your stats are determined by your gear.
ah i see so just keep going with my main if i like the class for now
You could be level 90 because you ground out the experience, but if you haven't finished ARR you'll still be just as much a whipping boy as if you were on-level with your gear.
ahhh okay ill do my best to just ingnore the level 😛 Once im through the 1-90 and msq once im fine with speeding along in the other jobs 😛

With Lvl 90 Maps, Even 80 or 70, Whats the most gil you or someone you know has made ?
Curious if Farming maps is worth it to afford a house
Millions if you're lucky
From a single map?
Some expensive shit is in there
Yeah i know about those too
Like the golden minions
So if you're lucky and get one or multiple that's you sorted
Even then the passive gil and other shit adds up
Can I ask for help in game here or can someone direct me to where I can go?
Been stuck on the level 50 MSQ the gift of eternity as struggling to even get through the entrance without dying as PLD, I play solo so have just spent the past 2 days waiting around doing BTN and CLN classes as not sure what to do..
And you can do map runs back to back? or is it once per person per 18 hours?
should i save off from workin on gathering/crafting classes until level 90?
The 18 hours is only for gathering maps
If you have multiple you can run all
Gotchya
You can buy more off the marketboard
Thanks all!
Get better gear, go buy your ironworks weapon in mor Dhona/main cities sundry splendors if you haven't
I have a gear level average of 70, and a level 50 giantsgall long sword, this isn’t good enough?
Your weapon is shit
Ok love that for me
Ironworks is ilvl 130, and is the best gear you can use at level 50
You should’ve been bought a ironworks weapon
Okok my bad I didn’t see any neon lights pointing me to it c: thanks 🙏
Then filter in other ironworks pieces as you get more poetics
Poetics being?
Currency for doing 50/60/70/80 content
You were told about them in an active help pop up after doing castrum
Ok
Why can I store the Lv 45 i50 job armor in the Armoire but not the Lv 50 i90 AF set?
Because that’s just how it is
The i90 job sets used to be tomestone gear
they need to lower down the resistance relics
which healer is the most controller friendly job?
because people are doing zone 3 of zadnor only, and doing 120 raids is horrible
Whats the general set progression for new players?
Like level 50 ironworks and then what? Like up to level 70 or something what do I wear then
First off, #rants . That isn't a question lol.
But we'll see. It's doubtful, because classically they haven't adjusted any relic grind steps unless that relic was current tier—which they actually did do.
60 is Shire, 70 is Scaevan, 80 is Cryptlurker
Dungeon and story gear at 55 then poetics again at 60, repeat until endgame
Great thank you both
so uhh what's that floaty thing in a red mages left hand?
A focus
like an artificial crit spot or a conduit for channeling my power?
Conduit
damn that's actually pretty cool
No, enemies cannot target you in your focus for massive damage against you lol
i meant for like applying a debuf to an enemy but i guess
are blu log weekly targets shared between everyone?
But yeah, it's your focus, and you'll notice for longer casts it contacts your rapier pommel to form a sort of pseudo-staff.
yooooo that's sick
i also notice red mages have the most immaculate of drip
also the quest guy at the start was dope.
yeah true but like I was getting more of a mob/gangster vibe from the questline and I feel like that is in it's own class
RPR i mean
but goddamn I love all the classes, I hope to get them all to 90 one day
is there anyway to skip the 7th astral era quest
80 quests before getting good xp sounds awful
ah
the patch content directly leads into the expansion after
so if you skip you miss important context for why you're going places
you're basically playing through content that was stretched over several months so.... it'll feel like a bit of a slog, but it's worth it
It used to be more
You're basically playing the epliogue of 2.0 and prelude to 3.0 when the level cap was 50. They want it to be harder to overlevel. Besides all the content during the period is synced to level 50
i wont tell you what you should or shouldn't do its your game and your time but i will say the pay off ff14 offers is immense
if you quit a crafting session before using a single action do you not lose mats
correct
can someone explain to me what happened here?
I'm trying to equip it on my retainer
The item your REMOVING from your retainer is in your inventory already
That's the unique item it's referring to

Does bozja drop poetics?
If you’re lvl 90
There’s a pet that’s a few tiny moogles flying in circles, anyone know what’s it called and how to get it, it’s adorable
Primogs. It was a pack in code with one of the first issued soundtracks for the game. The item code has long been out of print unfortunately.
Aww shame, no other way to get it now or is it a legacy thing
How do you deal with the ballistic missile in T8 solo? Do you just need to be able to burst the boss first?
So...for those of us who do not have housing plots and only apartments, how are we expected to get Thavnairian Onion seeds? Are we really expected to only be able to buy them for 200k+ per onion on the market board?
they're only obtainable through crossbreeding, so unless you have an fc generous enough to give you gardening plots... yes.
Wait for the boss to “activate” the towers on the sides of the arena and then burst it down fast
but there's two side quests that give thavnairian onions directly
Damn, that's really disappointing. Well, thanks for the info regardless! 🙂
ayy, got it
but yeah, do that 2 quests, free onion, beside anything beside healer level 10 usually doesn't really help that much
just 2-3 mechs to remember lol
kill the golem fast, stand close to the center when tower drop, and do your opener when Nael spawn
that's pretty much it
Depending on your job and level, you may want to stall your burst until about 45-50% HP
to ensure you can push past the solo instant-kill mechanic
Currently level 79 SMN, will probably give it a try now for shits and giggles, and actually an attempt when I'm 80 and have 500+ gear
ok yeah this ain't gonna work solo at 79
too many meteors
Is there an in-game party damage comparison or something of sort or not
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.
so like...hows the hunting community on aether? heard some odd stuff about faloop and centurio discord, etc
for the animus weapon stage of the ARR relic weapon i.e the books
can you complete the objectives on any class?
thanks
Copied factory seems popular to clear, is there any reason why everyone is running it? Like do they have a rare drop or something? I looked at the loot table and i only understand the 2B attire
I have reached 10 BTN and please tell me there's more ways to level it than just chopping wood
I don't think I have ishgard restoration 
is there a setting/method to get the key item icons associated with a quest bigger? Or have it on a hotbar?
other than scaling the list I mean
Can't make them bigger, outside of making the list bigger
You should be able to just drag it to your hotbar
You can however just click on the item to use it
You'd have to drag the key item to your hotbar every time you got a quest that used one, because it changes every time
and then remove it
yeah, but I think it just uses the specific item when you drag...not like a catch-all
If you want to hand stuff to NPCs just right click the symbol and it shows all available options
got it, thanks
Do different housing sizes still have the same garden size?
so, short of changing the size of the quest tracker itself, no not really
I find myself missing that icon occasionally
Small medium and large housing plots can contain 1 2 or 3 garden patches respectively
There are three sizes of garden patch but there’s no reason not to use the largest (8 crop capacity)
Regardless of housing plot size
I'm not talking about garden patches i'm talking about furniture amount you can place or well the actual space in general
They're different
Yeah i don't have it in front of me right now, i assumed they are different i forgot
i finished arr 2.0 and theres a lot going on in mor dhona, but i think a lot of it isnt worth focusing on since its obsolete now? i got ironworks gear but idk what else i can get from here thats worth it. i got rowena tokens but i dont know what to use them for
20/30/40
Ironworks and go
So i soloed Shiva HArd and got loot unscynched, But now when i go to do it again she does not drop a coffer? Is it random if loot drops?
Is it because someone else is with me?
I even did Ifrit Hard and got a rapier AND coffer
Hard mode trials after the 3 OGs don't drop anything
3 OGs?
Only ifirit Titan and garuda hard do
shiva only has a chest on extreme
"original"
Gotchya
thornmarch hard has weapons 
Nope
shiva hard drops card + ice tear
same with levi
card + mat
kupo just wacky like that
so when you get locked out of eureka are you locked out of just the instance? or eureka period for however long the lockout lasts
the tomestones?
if youre using poetics and buying frehs, it comes augmented i think
So I just got the scholar job and since I already have my smn at 90 it is also at 90, how hard is sch to learn if you never played a healer in any game in your life?
read the tooltips
Watch a guide
and you'll be a decent scholar in like 5h
maybe less
Nice
you maybe wanna do some low level dungeons
Aetherstones
to just get how healing works
Just manage your Aetherflow properly
I plan to solo dead ends with trust
trusts and low level dungeons probably
Is the fairy gauge only for aetherpact?
yes
So I'm not missing out if I just keep it at 100 if I don't need to use it. Right?
do you know who I talk to at the gc for this 
Its basically a heal dot right?
Same guy ad expert delivery
