questions-and-help

[pure copper]

it happens rarely enough i dont care, but it was odd

even left the map and re-entered, still nothing

[twilit arch]

could be a bug with ARR zones maybe

[pure copper]

also, u have to get into post ShB for cryptlurker gear right? wanna do weekly ShB marks soon

[queen fern]

Yes, Cryptlurker only unlocks after you beat the last boss of 5.0.

Also, does anyone know if you can get a mount to move during gpose?

I tried the sprint function and it doesn't work on my chocobo.

[twilit arch]

there should be an option in the gpose menu for walk/run animations iirc

forget exactly where it is, but i think its the same tab as opening the emote menu

[nova umbra]

is there a maximum to how many accursed hoards spawn between floors 1-9? I'm also assuming there is no chance it spawns on the boss room?

[twilit arch]

ye boss room has no chance to spawn a hoard

afaik every floor but that one has a chance of spawning it

[nova umbra]

think you're right, on floor 5 and got 4 accursed hoard so far

but without using intuition, there's no way to tell if there is an accursed hoard on that floor or not right?

[twilit arch]

mhm

[nova umbra]

besides checking every single known spot

[twilit arch]

pretty much have to get lucky without intuiton

[nova umbra]

damn i hate this achievement

for soloing bosses with blm, is it better to just sit there and just do regular rotations, or do you have to just kite and spam scathe + dots?

[faint flare]

Stand

[balmy briar]

Heya, I wanted to begin my journey but I encounter the same error message over and over again

[tropic flame]

try using a VPN

if it still continues you might need to change to an altlauncher

[balmy briar]

Would north VPN work aswell?

Because the thing is, that I bought it over Steam

[strange coral]

The quick launcher works with the steam version

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[nova umbra]

How many people do you think you need to do e6s unsynced?

[tropic flame]

most likely you'll still need full party

[robust crow]

probably need full party, the partner circles mechanic could get messy without

maybe you could cheese it and have one person eat two circles...?

possible to eat it with enough health i guess

[forest sphinx]

Memes aside, the person who posted this said that spamming the action ensures that the action will actually go off. I wanted to combine Blood Weapon and Delirium into one macro, but was having trouble because sometimes it would only cast one or the other - should I have command-spammed them like this instead?

[robust crow]

macros do not work like that

in ff14 you cannot have two skills in one macro and expect them to fire off at the same time

in fact, you should avoid macroing skills period

[forest sphinx]

Not at the same time - just have one happen asap after the other and only have to press one button because... well, there was no reason to not use both at once

[vernal urchin]

i also have a macro question: is there a way to specify a target party member action to auto target my chocobo? like how i have it target everyone in my party list

[robust crow]

again, this is bad

two skills in one macro should be completely avoided

unless you're doing crafting macros with a hardcoded delay

[forest sphinx]

Can you explain why?

[robust crow]

i just did

[vernal urchin]

im pretty sure you're not supposed to use blood weapon and delirium at the same time either iirc

[robust crow]

.

all skills in ff14 have a built in delay

[modest igloo]

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[vernal urchin]

idk how much the drk rotation has changed from shb, but you open with blood weapon and stagger delirium a couple of gcd's afterwards

[forest sphinx]

I had just assumed it'd be more efficient to blast as many OGCDs all at once

[gilded forge]

For dungeon spamming at level 61, am I better off to run level 60 dungeons, or still 59?

[vernal urchin]

nah, as drk the first thing you wanna do is get living shadow out

[modest igloo]

59

[vernal urchin]

the fastest way is to use blood weapon and do your 1 2 3

[gilded forge]

Thought so, thanks!

[modest igloo]

Negative

[vernal urchin]

that'll get you 50 meter and you can instantly use living shadow

[forest sphinx]

Hadn't thought about that

[modest igloo]

Even if you wanted to you can’t

[pure copper]

for MCH battery gauge, do u try to only use it at 100, or spam at 50 asap?

[robust crow]

you also can't do more than two ogcds per gcd

for that matter

[modest igloo]

Use in raid buffs

[robust crow]

double weaving is the max

and you absolutely do not want to use a macro to double weave

you don't want to macro skills period, like I said

[forest sphinx]

Gotchya. It's just too unreliable to actually expect it to work

[robust crow]

exceptions exist for weird ground target skills like WHM asylum to make it easier to place the AoE

it isn't that it's unreliable

it's that macros by FFXIV design add an inherent delay and do not queue like a normal ability press

so you actively hinder your own DPS by trying to macro something

[robust crow]

not sure if there's a designation for the chocobo but you could try a mouseover macro

[modest igloo]

We used to macro DRKs salted earth, and then SE basically made it do that in 6.0

[strange coral]

<c> should work, but I'm not positive. I can't test it right now.

[vernal urchin]

i'll give it a shot

that works! thanks

[shrewd lantern]

Is there a macro command I can use to stop casting a spell? Trying out mouse over aetherial manipulation, but I cannot use it if I am already casting a spell.

[strange coral]

I don't think so. You might be able to use /automove to make it cancel.

[shrewd lantern]

I see!

Thank you, I will try it out when I get home!

[robust crow]

pressing ESC also cancels your spellcast

or just do what I do and move, then AM

[strange coral]

I get the feeling it might cause issues though. As you probably also have to turn automove off

[shrewd lantern]

Aah, that's true

[dry vine]

When does the server status change for transferring a char?

Like can it change every day or only after a patch?

[shrewd lantern]

Actually would it be possible to write the esc key as part of the macro?

[strange coral]

Patches. So the next update will be 6.1 at the earliest. Depending on how the server populations look then, some of them could stay in Congested status.

[strange coral]

I don't think so

[warm snow]

They also change them in extreme cases of congestion

But we can't exactly plan/predict that shit

[gilded forge]

Would I be better off to spam level 59 or 61 dungeons at 61?

[faint flare]

61

You do your highest level levelling dungeon

[vernal urchin]

if you were 60, you'd do 59, but since you're 61 you can just do the 61 dungeon

[gilded forge]

Thought so, thanks!

[tall wyvern]

Have you guys ever had the dx11 error when you launch the game ?

[twilit arch]

wolf marks are pretty much for cosmetics so spend them on whatever you think is cool

[gritty oracle]

In my experience it's not usually a persistent issue, just try again. Also might be a borked mod.

[tall wyvern]

Dont have mods been trying since yesterday and reinstalled today as well but no luck

[gritty oracle]

Do you have the latest DX11? Might also need the NET thing

[tall wyvern]

whats NET?

[shrewd lantern]

Damb

[gritty oracle]

Like .NET framework? Or something

#technology-discussion is probably a better help

Or in-game tech support

[cedar verge]

question from a Chaos player wanting to play on NA

Are challenge log rewards earned immediately or do I have to redeem them?

[faint flare]

[shrewd lantern]

Gotcha

[frail ridge]

i got a queston, my friend wants to buy the game on ps4, but she doesn't know how to go from there. Does she need a square enix/mogstation account first before buying?

[versed basin]

How can i remove this? (for a "clear" face")

[barren granite]

mmm fugly

jk 😄

[sleek needle]

You can't without mods

[half hare]

you cant miqote always have markings unless you use a mod

[robust crow]

err no? change your miqote face

not all miqote have those marks

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/300676822213984257/940686008863834182/profile.png

[strange coral]

Yes, PSN players have to link their PSN account to mogstation.

[robust crow]

I sure don't

[robust crow]

see my above message

[sleek needle]

I assumed they wanted the same face but ye sure, can swap to another face

[frail ridge]

so its better if she creates one now before buying?

and then just link it?

[strange coral]

I think so. I don't know for sure if it has to be before, but it has to be done eventually.

[regal pawn]

sun miqote face 1

only ones without marks

otherwise, mods

[frail ridge]

i read you can make one when you buy the game, it should say make a new acc or something

[versed basin]

oh thx

[open coral]

Either way she'll be required to create a Mogstation account. It's easier to do that on a computer than a PS.

And then she can just buy the game and link her account right off rather than having to create the Mogstation account after the fact.

[frail ridge]

okay i tell her that then, thank you

[tranquil timber]

I have a question for anyone here. I’m about to start eureka and I want the elemental fending set however I want the red mage elemental weapon. Do I have to go into eureka as a tank to get the elemental fending set? Or can I go in as a red mage to get that weapon but still get the fending set.

[faint flare]

You don't

[fickle willow]

hey if you buy an armor set off the website store, is it like layered armor?

or is it armor that has stats?

[faint flare]

You glamour your gear

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

[faint flare]

It has its own stats of literally nothing

[fickle willow]

so as long as i have enough glamour prisms i can make any armor look like the purchased one?

[faint flare]

Yes

Or yeet to the glamour dresser and save prisms

!faq glamourdresser

[zinc orbit]

Glamour Dresser FAQ

"What is the Glamour Dresser?"

The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.

"How do I use it?"

In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".

When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.

[fickle willow]

[regal pawn]

Ah, okay.

[sleek needle]

It's not a zoom out, but you can change the camera angle some in settings

So that half your screen isn't floor

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

'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/

[dry bobcat]

Yeah i dont have the currents yet

[slate arrow]

I think you still get Mount Speed Up first when you finish a "zone"

except for the 6th zone which just unlocks Flight

[dry bobcat]

Hmm okay

[slate arrow]

yeah GamerEscape has upgrade 1 tied to quest completion

do note that the Sea Of Clouds speed upgrade is unlocked after you unlock the second half of the zone

[dry bobcat]

Aight

Its just that coming from blazing fast ARR flying to

Normal, ground speed

Its tougu

[slate arrow]

yeah unfortunately ARR suffers from "its old so we cant really put it in"

they just gave everyone a bone for suffering from ARR grounded travel for 4 stretches of content and then some

I am melding my crafter gear and why is the CP +0 ?

[boreal storm]

[faint flare]

It can't have anymore cp on it

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

how do u deal with stalkers in this game?

i only see gear with Haste+1 and Haste+2, so guessing more unlocks later then?

The haste adds up across gear

[heavy wadi]

with a lot of difficulty

Augmented law order has the most

[heavy wadi]

this game isn't good on blocking stalkers, but if you put in a ticket for someone harassing you and say it's stalking they take it very seriously

It has 15 more haste over augmented bojza

Hi, is it ok to queue with duty finder for "A Relic Reborn (Thyrus)" or do people normally use party finder for that?

[narrow jay]

Sometimes I work on various relic weapon steps, since they take a while and I can generally dual path everything with it. Sometimes I sit in the Gold Saucer and play Mahjong.

[narrow jay]

DF should be fine. It's very much outdated content, so you'll be filled only via the Roulette system, but you will fill eventually. I doubt you'll get a lot of hits in PF for it.

[vast merlin]

Thank you!

[half hare]

Can’t you just solo it at 80

[narrow jay]

Yeah, it can be unsynced very easily.

[vast merlin]

My character's only level 55 atm, should I just wait? I've not even started on HW yet.

[faint flare]

Doing relics when you're equal level is torture

They're extremely grindy for just glamour

Many wait until cap to do it

[vast merlin]

Sad, I'll try to be patient then. Thanks again!

[regal pawn]

patience is a virtue for relics

[narrow jay]

Yeah, and as soon as you get into Heavensward, it'll almost immediately be outdated by higher level weapons.

[vast merlin]

Oh I just want the glamour haha

[narrow jay]

Absolutely valid lol

But like I said, you can queue for your trials in DF if you want. I know you'll eventually get filled because I was a fill for one via Roulette, lol

absolutely blew my mind

But it does mean it's possible.

Then no, I think

[fossil bloom]

including if i can't penta meld them?

Iirc scrip is better than crafted until you overmeld a bit

Could be wrong

To be bis it has to be pentamelded

i would run out of money if i have to pentameld everything

:C

Well thanks

[narrow jay]

You have to do all five, plus all four (all 10 in current-expac zones) currents, for a total of 9 (15).

[dry bobcat]

I only got the green ones

[primal gull]

Yeah, you gotta do the quest ones too, some of those are locked behind msq progress

As a general rule you'll unlock flying for a zone when you are finished questing there

[boreal storm]

But if you’ve been grabbing like a good boy, you’ll never miss them

Can anyone help me do a trial.need to do it for MSQ

[boreal storm]

Duty finder

there it goes!

#rants is a separate channel

[stable dune]

I was surprised that current expansion had 10 Aether Currents. I was fully expecting the normal 4 then i opened it up and was in for a very rude awakening

[warm snow]

You have it backwards

They changed the old zones in 6.0 so they have fewer aether currents

[boreal storm]

Pre-EW Aether currents were nerfed

[stable dune]

i was wondering why some of the currents in STB were gone...

[narrow jay]

Very similar reason to why you just automatically get flying when you beat the ARR campaign. Flying was added well after ARR, and it was only retroactively added to ARR zones during one of the ShB patches.

And since the theme of the rest of the game's content is "once it's no longer current, we want to make it easier to do to catch up" (except relics), they just gave flying in ARR zones wholesale.

[stable dune]

So you mean to tell me that flying in ARR wasnt in there until almost 5 years later???

[open coral]

Flying wasn't added to ARR zones until patch 5.3

[open coral]

So more like 8 years.

[heavy wadi]

arr zones were not made with flying in mind, so, yeah

[open coral]

As I recall they had to do a wholesale resurfacing of ARR maps so they wouldn't just... disappear at flying heights.

[astral cobalt]

any way to change my racing chocobo hereditary ability ?

[meager sigil]

ARR flying definitely made post-ARR a lot less painful, yeah.

[celest spindle]

is there anything you can do with unwanted gear besides materia extraction or something

ive got like 80 kurtas and they are kinda useless do i just discard them

[meager sigil]

If it's pink/green/blue, you can turn it in at your GC

You can also sell it. Selling high-level dungeon gear will get you a surprising amount of gil.

[warm snow]

Relic steps also get nerfed

[celest spindle]

oh these things only sell for like 3 gil each

[meager sigil]

Someone told me they had to do 15 DR runs instead of the now-usual 5 for each Resistance Weapon.

[faint flare]

Yes

[warm snow]

Yes

[faint flare]

It used to give 1

[meager sigil]

God, that must have been awful.

If you were someone who used duty finder for it yes

That change was made while the weapon was current, though.

[mellow trout]

can someone help me? i just killed leviathan and didnt got the second prolog from ARR to enter heavensward?

[obsidian patio]

You still have more story to do.

[mellow trout]

how much time does it take now to get to heavensward?

[obsidian patio]

You’re a bit less than halfway through the level 50 story

[mellow trout]

you say what?

wtf

[boreal storm]

Yeah leviathan is 2.2 or 2.3

[obsidian patio]

You have 4 trials and 2 dungeons left in terms of duty finder content

[tulip chasm]

2.2 and i think the end of it is 2.3

[warm snow]

After an expansion comes out we get more story content and raids etc. in patches over a period of 2 years, you're playing that content

[mellow trout]

so it means i have like 100 quests more to do

[tulip chasm]

ARR is also the beefiest in terms of post content patches

[boreal storm]

Lol no

[tulip chasm]

around 60-ish i think

probably a bit less now that you finished levi

[warm snow]

You were literally told 50ish

[mellow trout]

ai ght

thank you

[tulip chasm]

dw, the other expacs arent this beefy

[fluid gulch]

So if I am doing that quest "Touhening Up" for my anima weapon, do I have to have the weapon in question equipped for the whole dungeon?

[tulip chasm]

only at the end before you leave

[fluid gulch]

As long as it's equipped when I leave?

Gotcha

[tulip chasm]

pretty much

[narrow jay]

your do what now

[rugged flicker]

I can't help but wonder if they got rid of the fortune tellers because a vocal minority complained about them.

"Why is your game telling me that me and my girlfriend are incompatible?!"

They were really popular for the couple years that they were around, I can't think of any reason as to why they would get rid of them unless someone complained.

there are many ways to get tomes, and you chose the one that you don't enjoy the most

I prefer to do the hunt usually

[tender sail]

how do I check triple triad tournament rules before queueing for a match?

[lost grove]

Is there anything I should keep in mind since I'm an omnihealer . Also why does whm feel so weak rn?

[raven bolt]

open tourney or the duel hall tourney?

duel hall tourney

I believe the name of the tourney will have the rules on the wiki

oh so its not random

alright thanks

is there a tournament where its only draft decks?

oh you already posted the link

might as well see for myself

[raven bolt]

yes open tourney which happens every hour

[tender sail]

i mean

only draft as rule

wait

i said that wrong

what I meant was a tournament with no rules

looks like there is none

[regal pawn]

it wouldnt be easy but full of draws

i feel like anyways

but I made a cool deck I want to try but there isnt really a chance to try it out

Literally no reason to do savage multiple times in a week

Outside of helping or parsing/speedruns

Good to know

[ember pendant]

so i've been waiting for a friend to catch up and i've made it in the story where i have to do what i assume is the first dungeon? If i go ahead and do it am i able to come back through when my friend catches up and do it with him as well?

[narrow jay]

Yes.

[ember pendant]

Okay is there a system like syncing that would allow me to be his level and thus not make the dungeon super easy when i go through it with him?

[faint flare]

Yew

[twilit arch]

yes, the game has a sync system

[faint flare]

Literally that

All duties sync you

[twilit arch]

so if you queue with him, you'll be sync'd down to the max lvl of that dungeon assuming you're over itse level range

so first dungeon sastasha has a range of 15-18

[ember pendant]

okay awesome! Thanks!

[faint flare]

99% of people you see will be people who are much higher level and are synced down for the dungeon

[glossy forge]

actually that sounds not bad

[loud fossil]

I need help. How do I transfer the UI settings of one character to another one?

[jade quartz]

My documents > my games > FFXIV > each one of your characters has a “FFXIV_CHR####” folder

Where all the client settings are stored

Copy ADDON.dat from one character to the other

Now the only way you can differentiate which character is which is by file creation date

So make sure to backup both folders in case you overwrite the wrong one

Oh HOTBAR.DAT as well

[ivory crest]

So wait if I don’t own any of the expansions after HW I can’t go over lvl 60. But that does that also include for other crafting jobs like blacksmith?

What's the best way to farm poetics solo?

If it's possible, that is

[obsidian patio]

You can’t really

[dire prawn]

After roulettes your best bet as far as I know is still running Aetherochemical Research Facility

[obsidian patio]

You only get poetics from unsynced content if it’s someone’s first time

[dire prawn]

Or you can look for people who haven't done Coils for a basically free 1,300 poetics that takes less than an hour to do unless that person is watching all the cutscenes

[obsidian patio]

So you can go on a dungeon spree of all the 50/60/70 dungeons for the one time bonus

And the 8-man raids too

All of Coil/Alexander should be easily doable solo

[dire prawn]

Alexander
A5N says hello

Omega maybe, but you’d honestly clear faster in DF

Nowadays, leveling DoH/DoL from 70 to 90, should I do leves or Ishgard restoration?

[viscid nexus]

So does no one know a thing about an FC's GC standing? There's not even a Lodestone entry about it.

[ripe hound]

Have the name Etheirys been used before?

Or is it a new word in EW?

[untold willow]

is rank 10 the max for chocobos? i thought it could go to 20

[sharp pond]

You need to feed it Thav onion to unlock the rank

[untold willow]

ohh is that why theyre so expensive?

[sharp pond]

Indeed, yes.

You can grow your own if you have a house

[narrow jay]

Standing affects the company-credit cost of activating FC actions, and at r7 reduces teleport costs to the region associated with that GC.

[viscid nexus]

So if we were to max them all out, it would be very beneficial?

[narrow jay]

You can only work with one at a time, and your standing with the ones you're not associated with decays during that time.

[viscid nexus]

Unfortunate. We aren't too big. So I don't think it's worth it.

Wait why are there three different guages then? Lol

[hollow knot]

Do I need my ShB relic equipped to get memories of the dying drops?

[narrow jay]

Because you can be aligned with one, and then switch allegiances to another, and (as I said) your standing with the first will decay while your standing with the new one increases.

[viscid nexus]

Yeah but why? That's a dumb mechanic that punishes FCs for switching GCs.

[dense pier]

Do you lose medicine on death?

[viscid nexus]

People aren't going to switch, so why have three bars or a decay system?

[narrow jay]

Not really. But I think you're overestimating the speed of the decay.

[tropic flame]

what kind of medicine?

like buffs?

[viscid nexus]

But why switch if only one can be active at once?

[dense pier]

spiritbond pot

[narrow jay]

Flavor.

[tropic flame]

i dont think so

[viscid nexus]

Sometimes purpose should outweigh flavor.

[narrow jay]

However, you are accurately recognising that there is no functional purpose to switching GC alignment.

[tropic flame]

nvm it can remove your buff if you die

[viscid nexus]

Yes. Then if it's for flavor, why have a decay system?

[narrow jay]

Then again, there's also no functional purpose to Limsa catgirls.

To prevent stacking cost discounts, presumably.

[viscid nexus]

But you said only one can be active.

Which prevents stacking.

the former

if you do not care about pentamelding for any reason such as price or simply not needing the additional substats for DPS, ex2 weapon is fine

[wheat plume]

is the same for every other 580 gear?
crafted pentameld > drop?

[outer mural]

yes

pentamelded substat total supercedes anything else at 580

but again

it's a bit excessive and not entirely necessary

if for any reason you don't want to penta, other 580 stuff is fine

you may just need to unlock the function

crafting is high investment and work for gil but i like selling tinctures since those are easy to make with few mats and decent substata

[wheat plume]

i don't have alchemist yet at 90. I was thinking too about getting maps at gathering and selling them, cause it'll be like 5 mins per day and selling at least at 30K, u know if is there anything better than that consumming little minutes per day?

[leaden ginkgo]

@outer mural Ohhh thanks! didn't know there was a quest to unlock it XD

that'll be it

[upper cove]

If you're already pentamelded

Definitely craft some

Just beware undercutting is another game by itself

You do still profit for most current end game crafts even if you buy all your mats

Otherwise gathering definitely maximises your own profit

[tidal loom]

Tbh, I just farm Hades ex all day and make a few million gil

[upper cove]

That works as well

[wheat plume]

u know what's the best to craft/sell, and how much gil will I make (minus investment in materials) per hour? D:

[upper cove]

Crsfting is just a great side activity to do where you can semi afk

[wheat plume]

how? selling drops?

[upper cove]

Depends on your server

But the combat gear definitely still sells

[tidal loom]

Yeah, the weapon mat regularly sells for 1.2-1.5m

[upper cove]

Tinctues and raid food

[tidal loom]

If you have desynth leveled you'll have way more chances at getting the mats

[wheat plume]

I don't have culinarian or alch at lvl 90 yet, only 5 crafters

[upper cove]

Gear then

Classical stuff

[ember magnet]

is there some trick to stop joining the same dead instance in eureka?

[wheat plume]

which crafter desynths the weapons from hades ex? blacksmith?

[upper cove]

Different crafters for different weapons

[tidal loom]

Blacksmith does like half of them, goldsmith and carpenter for the rest

[wheat plume]

oh, i have most of them between 250 and 380

[tidal loom]

465 for hades weapons

[upper cove]

Hadex weapons are like closer to 500?

[wheat plume]

What's the fastest way for getting better desynth lvl? I've been desynthing all drops from roulettes from like 1 year

[pure copper]

is the animation for eye gouge on GNB super long? feels like i clip if i eye gouge and blasting zone in the same weave

[tidal loom]

Leveling desynth is hell for bsm, you're gonna spend a lot

[wheat plume]

i have that with goldsmith, worth giving it a try

[tidal loom]

Yeah gsm has a few weapons they desynth

[wheat plume]

I've been doing that only from dungeon/roulette drops, so not spending a lot but took a lot of time

[tidal loom]

There's bacon broth for food and tinker's something or other potion that raises desynth exp gain

[wheat plume]

great, gonna do that, didn't know that existed

[tidal loom]

I wish I knew before I got it to 300 first lol

[narrow jay]

Per the Balance, the ideal weave pair is Blasting Zone with Bow Shock.

[viscid nexus]

Anyone know the /command to change main menu type?

[echo stratus]

I'm having this weird issue where my game fps drops when I'm afk (after like 2-5 mins?) but when I click on the game it's back to normal. Is there any fix for it?

[wheat plume]

is there an engineering manual that works fine up to lvl 90?

[narrow jay]

If you're clicking outside the game window at any point during it, the FPS will naturally drop due to the game using less resources while "in the background". You can adjust background performance in the System Configuration menu.

[echo stratus]

It's not outside the window and I'm using full screen too, not borderless

[wheat plume]

both raise desynth skill for a period of time, but u remember the name of what gets more desynt exp?

[viscid nexus]

System config > Display Settings > Limit FPS when away from keyboard.

[tidal loom]

Hmm it seemed like they raise the exp gain, I definitely noticed I got more when I was using them but I could be mistaken

[cedar dune]

question on gathering buffs: Can you stack a Squadron Survival Manual and a Company-issue Engineering Manual? Or just one of them?

[gritty oracle]

Engineering manuals are crafting. But no, you can't stack manuals.

[wind zephyr]

how do i remove squadron members

i want a cat girl army

Yep

[wind zephyr]

because i recruited the fifth members nothing happens

[wind zephyr]

icic

thx for the info

Bismarck and Thirds you have to burst the adds very quickly because they tether

Not reliably, but it has been done for most

[echo stratus]

Ahh ty

[fossil bloom]

can white scrip crafter gear be traded in for gc seals?

[pure copper]

i dont think so

i coudlnt for the 70 scrips at least

[fossil bloom]

so obsolete white scrip crafter gears is probably best desynthed then?

[cedar dune]

oohhh thank you! 🙂

[distant plaza]

Does someone actually recommends playing the game with Controller?

[leaden ginkgo]

I wanna keep going for Paladin but

Ehhhh

I hate the shelltron stuff

XD and I don’t know what to be my main cards

*casts

[jovial quarry]

It all boils down to preference in the end. That said, controller support is astonishingly robust. There are very few things that controller players can't do and in some cases there are things that they can do better. I've been playing on controller from the beginning and I can still do savages and stuff comfortably.

[zenith kettle]

So I just started and I have no clue if I'm a healer or a caster. Be proud of my possible stupidity

[robust crow]

what class did you pick

[wraith vapor]

Heyo welcome to the game!
If you're an Arcanist, then the answer is.... "Yes"

[robust crow]

every class is a very defined role, it's not like wow where classes have specs

no, arcanist is a DPS/caster

it's not a hybrid

it later splits into a healer and dps sure

[zenith kettle]

I just took the one with the book cause I didn't know what the other one was

[robust crow]

yes, arcanist

it's unique in that it's the only class in the game that later splits into two separate jobs

and the jobs level at the same time

[wraith vapor]

So it is officially categorized as a DPS class
But at a certain point, you get to unlock both a class that specializes in its DPS side (Summoner/SMN), and another class that focuses on the Healer part of Arcanist (Scholar/SCH)

[boreal storm]

Thauma is just a baby black mage, ie the classic damage mage

[zenith kettle]

Alright. I'll make note and hopefully end up understanding. I don't know anyone who owns the game so I'm probably gonna have to really train my 2 brain cells for this game

[regal pawn]

@boreal storm Owns the game

[wraith vapor]

No worries. Take baby steps if you need to, and if you ever need any help we're right here 🙂

[boreal storm]

???

[wheat plume]

the game has small tutorials that teach u what to do in battle

[zenith kettle]

Thank you

[regal pawn]

They said they don't know anyone who owns the game
So I figured since you're both on crystal, you can help them out if need be

[zenith kettle]

As a person who's looking at it rn I'm still processing them lol

[wheat plume]

u have experience in other MMO, or in other single player FF?

[zenith kettle]

Imma be honest I just picked one that looked like a NA flag

[tulip chasm]

well you're right that crystal is an NA datacenter

[zenith kettle]

Well not really. I've watched some gameplay of other ff games but I haven't with this one. But I think the closest thing I got to this game is black desert

[regal pawn]

Well

They're both MMOs, that's for sure

Though BDO is action

While this is tab target

[zenith kettle]

Have no clue what that is but ok

[tulip chasm]

black desert online

[wraith vapor]

Ah yes. The very first lesson I learned in this game:
You cannot dodge enemy autos by moving away from them mid-animation (:

[zenith kettle]

I mean tab target

[boreal storm]

You can press TAB to target things
Pretty self explanatory

[tulip chasm]

oh

basically you cycle through targets by pressing tab

[zenith kettle]

Not me playing this game on my PS4 instead of pc

[tulip chasm]

oh, well the concept stays the same generally

[wheat plume]

press left to right or press R1 or L1 while holding R2

[tulip chasm]

the controller's well optimized for the game

[zenith kettle]

Ah ok ok

WELL THEN MY FRIENDS I WILL GO TO BECOME USEFUL

[pale solar]

How do I find people for Duty Finder quests like It's Probably Pirates

[limber hound]

wait

That's it

[pale solar]

Welp that was an interesting 20 mins

[limber hound]

Unless you're healer or tank, then it's usually instant

[pale solar]

Oh.

[gleaming finch]

is there a wiki that shows where I can obtain certain items? if I look at https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Mistbreak_Earrings_of_Casting for example, there's no info at all on how to obtain

I guess the wiki is just incomplete? since it does show how to obtain for most items 🤔

[regal pawn]

Gamerescape

And those are not available anymore

[oak quarry]

use garlandtools it is better and also faster

[gleaming finch]

ah okay :) i didn't know about these websites, thank you!

[oak quarry]

it's especially good for crafting imo

and you can use it as a checklist

[wheat plume]

[limber hound]

yes

I did so to greed drops once

[regal pawn]

Same

I usually just swap jobs and open between runs

[sour rock]

wait so does p2s drop 8 pieces of gear, i see the savage loot bot stuff. i cleared it last week but idr how many i saw

[wheat plume]

and the unique weapon can i too, put in sadbag or retainer to have more than 1 ?

[regal pawn]

4

2 out of the listed boxes + discal + coating

[sour rock]

gotcha ty

[regal pawn]

So you could have a 2 hat, 2 boots or 1 hat 1 boots

[gleaming finch]

what's this darker segment on my xp bar?

[regal pawn]

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[gleaming finch]

ohh it's rested xp! okay

[celest spindle]

does anyone know a good guide for lvl 60 gunbreaker

i just unlocked it and have no clue where to start

[patent citrus]

same as other tanks

[celest spindle]

where would that be

[patent citrus]

just turn tank stance on, pull 2-3 groups, spam aoe, cycle mitigation

[celest spindle]

i was a dragoon before

never played tank

[patent citrus]

ohh

[celest spindle]

i plan to just main gunbreaker from this point anyways

i mainly mean rotations and all

[patent citrus]

tank rotation won't be as complex as any dps

[celest spindle]

but i could just wail on a target dummy for an hour and figure it out

[patent citrus]

so just https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=StnOnwZEahE

[celest spindle]

ok ty

[idle saddle]

i just returned to ffxiv , used to play ninja , and now my class is back to rogue

how to get ninja back

[narrow jay]

put your job stone on?

[patent citrus]

type /gearset , the NIN might still be there, but yeah

wear the rogue weapon and equip the jobstone

[idle saddle]

oh ok got it

[vivid karma]

So I just cleared my first savage tier (yay) and my static is planning to go into UCoB now. Is there anything I need to know going into ultimate from savage? I know the fights are much longer and there are more phases

Also is there a way to sync down to a certain level for the sake of practicing a rotation? Specifically 70

[patent citrus]

enter Eureka, make some relics there, climb up, enjoy the story

you will be sync'd to lv 70

[vivid karma]

Is it similar to Bozja?

[patent citrus]

similiar, but more beautiful environment and harsher mobs

[vivid karma]

Interesting

Will do thanks

Where do I unlock it?

[patent citrus]

hmm I think in Rhalgar Reach, one of the blue quest

[patent citrus]

!quest And We Shall Call It Eureka

[vestal lark]

Like built-in

[patent citrus]

oh, yeah you can access those in-game as well

type /officialsite

then choose community finder

[shut orbit]

Is there a difference if I get the game from The NA/US square Enix store compare to getting the game from steam?

[patent citrus]

yeah

once you buy the game from either, you can't access the other

so for PC you have to choose between SE store and steam

[shut orbit]

But if I bought the game from SE store, and my friend bought from Steam, can we play together?

[hidden cypress]

yep

[patent citrus]

yep

[hidden cypress]

everythings cross platform, even with console

[shut orbit]

Ahh so the difference is just the platform in which it’s being accessed from?

[patent citrus]

yeh

[shut orbit]

Cools!! Thanks guys hehe

[distant plaza]

Is theere a website where we can see the drop rates of things in the game?

[patent citrus]

nope, there's no drop rate given

[autumn hedge]

Is there a place to spend tomes in Old Sharlaya?

[patent citrus]

but you can ask here, someone who's farming the same item might know

[patent citrus]

tomes for current content is accessed from hub city

so until you unlock the hub city, you can't spend it

old sharlayan is the main city

[vivid karma]

Do you know if p4s drops a Mount every clear or my group just got lucky?

[patent citrus]

yep it's 100%

[vivid karma]

But only for one person lol

[patent citrus]

yeah, next one got it from the next reclear

[robust crow]

it's one mount per week

[vivid karma]

Yeah I see

[robust crow]

so your static is guaranteed to all have a mount by week 8

[idle saddle]
