[strange coral]

I don't see anything called subtarget in the macro docs

[cursive ridge]

i think that has something to do with gamepad target controls

[hidden cypress]

i found some posts about subtarget and people talking about it being in past final fantasy

[rough fossil]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Macro

[cursive ridge]

as they have two types of targeting reticule on stuff

[heavy wadi]

i believe that means the target of your target

but i'm not sure

[cursive ridge]

no that's <tt>

[rough fossil]

there's a <tt> macro for that

[cursive ridge]

from google search subtarget is basically 'mouseover' for gamepad

one of the forum replies from 2014 says <st> were removed from the game

[strange coral]

Yea, I'm thinking that wiki page is outdated. There's a more complete list here https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Text_commands

And I can't find /subtarget on the lodestone docs

[cursive ridge]

and every response is mentioning that the subtarget is no longer needed as you can do it natively now on gamepad somehow, but i dont play on gamepad so i have no idea how it works

[rough fossil]

hm yeah okay thanks for the help. And yes, modern gamepads like the PS4/PS5 controllers have a touchpad you can use as a mouse

[cursive ridge]

The target <st> or <stpc> are not needed anymore. Assuming you are using a controller, when you have a target selected, you can just use the D-pad up/down to select party members or left/right to select mobs (if your targeting is set up this way). You will still have your main target selected, but using the D-pad will act like <st> or <stpc>. Then when you cast your spell, the target will go back to your main selected target.

[vast ferry]

is there a way to preview what an appartment look like before buying

[cursive ridge]

yes, visit any open one

a lot of them dont change much

[vast ferry]

how do you get into the ward

[cursive ridge]

if you havent done so yet, do a quest to unlock residential area in that city

then it will be available from the main aetheryte in the city

for starting cities the quests are in the starting zones outside the cities

[vast ferry]

i'm considering waiting until storm blood so i can get a japanese style apparntment

[cursive ridge]

if you want japanese, your best bet is kugane housing

there is a lady near kugane main aetheryte with a blue quest to unlock it, then the "Residential aetheryte" option will be available from the main one

but yeah you need to progress until like... MSQ level 63? or 62? somewhere in that range to unlock kugane

[jade quartz]

61

[vast ferry]

well i'm already level 58 but i assume you mean quest i'm on 54

oh missed the msq part there

[cursive ridge]

you need to fully finish heavensward and then a few hours of SB

[jade quartz]

MSQ level, as Cas said

[vast ferry]

how do i get the valentine mobile

[cursive ridge]

purchase it for gil in gridania

[vast ferry]

the lady doesn't have any more quests

[jade quartz]

Purchase from the vendor by the event quest

[cursive ridge]

near the mih khetto amphitheatre

look for a vendor

[warm snow]

All apartments are identical

The only difference is the neighbourhood

[cursive ridge]

not entirely true

[jade quartz]

The pillars are different

[cursive ridge]

ceilings and the posts are different

[jade quartz]

Mhm

[cursive ridge]

(if you're very patient you can glitch some wood to ceiling height to have a 'new' ceiling)

[vast ferry]

is there no way to sort your inventory besides manually

[hidden cypress]

right click sort

[cursive ridge]

right click any item and press Sort

if you want more options, look for the macro documentation for /itemsort , it is pretty complicated but gives more options

(macro documentation exists in the game in User Macros -> Text Commands)

[sudden dock]

is there a way to try mogstation items before buying them like, itemsearch and trying it on or something like that? otherwise i might just ask in shout chat if anyone has the outfit

[cursive ridge]

there is a dalamud plugin that lets you create arbitrary item links, if you're using plugins

i dont remember the name, but it should be obvious, just look through the default plugin list

[jade quartz]

It’s just called item search I think

Without that, no way except finding someone who has the item

Or CMtool

[viscid fossil]

I would suggest this, safest way preview items (try on)

[hidden cypress]

• theres a ton of other useful plugins

!faq altlauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[leaden ginkgo]

stupid question about the dancers standard step..
do i use it on cd if possible and logical or just to refresh the buff? it does some reasonable dmg after all on its own, but its 3 global cds doing nothing

[cursive ridge]

yes you use it on CD because it hits like a fucking truck

[hidden cypress]

and theyre not full gcds

[leaden ginkgo]

the standard step are but the technical arent, no?

at least felt like it

[faint flare]

All steps are a shorter recast

[leaden ginkgo]

huh, k

[faint flare]

Making it not full gcds

[hidden cypress]

standard step is an ogcd no

nah nvm

[faint flare]

Weaponskill

[hidden cypress]

well ability but triggers gcd

[faint flare]

Which are weaponskills

With its own Cooldown

[cursive ridge]

it has the big text blurb that says 'it triggers gcd'

[hidden cypress]

but it is not a weaponskill

[cursive ridge]

used to be

is now

changed this patch (6.08)

[faint flare]

Classed as a weaponskill for brotherhood and arcane circle stacks

[hidden cypress]

classed as ability by the ability

[cursive ridge]

not anymore

[green grail]

step is an ability, finish is a weaponskill

[cursive ridge]

yeah, you guys are right, the start is an ability that pretends to be a weaponskill but isnt

[brave prawn]

What exactly do the gathering/perception stats do? Gathering is your hard% to collect a single item, and perception is just for the boon?

[faint flare]

Yes

[cursive ridge]

occasionally they are also used as 'minimum' gates to collect an item, but that's very rare

[brave prawn]

So just meld for gathering until you comfortably hit 100%, then dump everything else into per/gp?

[cursive ridge]

also perception affects how effective your collectability increases are when trying to collect a collectable

[jade quartz]

The finishes were changed to weaponskills to buff MNK brotherhood

[cursive ridge]

probably? here's an active help entry about the minimum gates

hm, Curing Waltz says it has a range of 3y, does that mean you basically have to be on top of somebody to heal them? i think that's smaller than even basic melee range for melee jobs

[jade quartz]

It’s the same as melee range

3y is max melee

[cursive ridge]

so basically jump on top of somebody who you want to heal, got it

[hidden cypress]

it also comes off your dance partner

[boreal storm]

So if the aoes overlap, that’s double heals for someone

[hidden cypress]

yep double heals for everyone in the radius, but its not healers potency so its low

[vast ferry]

is doinf dialies worth it if you don't have any classes you want to level

[jade quartz]

For tomestones

[vast ferry]

tomestones can only be spent on gear and the cap is pretty low

[faint flare]

And other stuff

Not just gear

[vast ferry]

like what

[faint flare]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What should I spend my Poetics on? How do I get more?

Text guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[faint flare]

Relic items, mats to sell, some other misc stuff

The unidentified item to Soil conversion to make money etc

Only astro tomes are purely gear for now

[vast ferry]

should i wait for adventuer in need to switch to healer?

[boreal storm]

No

[vast ferry]

how much is the gil bonus

[boreal storm]

It’s on the screen

[cursive ridge]

unless it's the materia bonus (at level cap), adventurer in need is extremely minor

[boreal storm]

Like so

[frosty marlin]

... it flipping GOES that high?!

stares in level 23 miner w/ theoretically decent gear

[cursive ridge]

i think this is only on current endgame content

[warm snow]

Before the stars squish tank hp capped out at 100k+ in bis gear

[uncut quarry]

Is it possible to get 530 craftsmanship in early HW

[warm snow]

And crafters/gatherers basically didn't get stats squished

Well, gatherers have less vit but that hardly matters

[boreal storm]

Why specifically that

[uncut quarry]

dhalmelskin jacket or smthn

thought it looked sicc

wanted it as glam

and on trial so no mb or trade

[uncut quarry]

coat*

i have most materials and am pretty sure i can get the dhalmel hide so just need 530 craftsmanhip

[warm snow]

Buy some basic hw vendkr gear, it's miles better than anything you can easily get in arr

There's legitimately a massive jump

[boreal storm]

It’s just a lvl 55 recipe, so yeah you can do it

[uncut quarry]

kewlz i'll try that

ty

[pulsar hawk]

Hello ppls, how do i know how many exp is left to boost for the company issued survival manual

like, after i use it, how do i know how much exp will it boost

i cant find anything in the hud or maybe im dumb lol

[jade quartz]

You don’t unless you keep track of the numbers as you go

[boreal storm]

If it’s gone, then reapply it

[pulsar hawk]

Oh lol, alrighty !

how can i know its gone, just by checking if i am not getting as much exp as b4?

[cursive ridge]

the buff will be gone

[pulsar hawk]

Ohhhhhhhhhhh its at the top...

i thought it was going to be where the other personal buffs are

alright thanks

[glossy flare]

it goes under "other" in terms of buffs

[cursive ridge]

you can configure where buffs go

[glossy flare]

you can change where they show in the hud editor

[cursive ridge]

in the HUD Layout

[pulsar hawk]

yeah but i mean i was used to see the "personal" buffs somewhere else, but i see it now haha thanks guys

I thought it was supposed to be there

XD

[cursive ridge]

item-based buffs, long term buffs, FC buffs, stuff like that goes there

[glossy flare]

personal buffs are just about battle related stuff, mostly (and crafting/gathering)

xp is more of a system related buff I guess?

hence the "other" category

[pulsar hawk]

makes sense!

[hidden cypress]

is there a way to make buffs fill the bottom row then move up

[cursive ridge]

with the default hud, no, you can only choose left or right first

[hidden cypress]

and whats a not default hud

[regal pawn]

delvui

[cursive ridge]

i'm not using one, so no idea

[hidden cypress]

oh yeah that, too much tinkering

[regal pawn]

it can do what you want

[hidden cypress]

yeah but id have to make everything

[regal pawn]

you could turn off everything and only have the buffs/debuffs on

[hidden cypress]

guess so

thanks

[cursive ridge]

i only want one thing that isn't provided by the default UI (fix the party frames so the health is way more obvious) but i dont want to change and tinker with the entire UI just because of that

[regal pawn]

PartyListLayout

[hidden cypress]

yeah some people post presets for that in the xivlauncher discord

[cursive ridge]

i dont see that in the default plugins list

[regal pawn]

you got experimental turned on?

[cursive ridge]

no

[regal pawn]

that's why

there's some goodies hidden if you tick experimental in dalamud settings

namely PLL

[vast ferry]

hey i just ran a dungeon as whm and never ran out of mp despite not using lucid even once no one died heck they barely ever went below 30% hp was i doing something wrong or was the party just that good at avoiding damage

fyi my overheal was 33% at the highest

[regal pawn]

you won't run out of mana much in dungeons

[cursive ridge]

some dungeons are easier than others, some tanks are better at mitigating damage than others (players)

[vast ferry]

that was mostly from regen too

[regal pawn]

but also depends on the dungeon

and your tank

[vast ferry]

it was that ice mountain 1 with the wolf boss

[tepid heart]

Is there a list that shows all the weapons with sfx? Im a sucker for them

[vast ferry]

we pulled twice per wall usually

[regal pawn]

oh that one

yeah, it's kinda eh

[vast ferry]

i was just attacking most of the time always nice to get a team who knows how to avoid

[cursive ridge]

@regal pawn while we're on the topic, do you mind pointing me in the direction of a way to install custom plugins correctly?

[regal pawn]

custom repositories?

[vast ferry]

had a simlar experience in the ice castle with the griffon boss

[cursive ridge]

individual plugins, no repo

[regal pawn]

oh
no clue about that

[oak lily]

I've almost run out of MP in the EW dungeons as a Whm, but that's only because its a lot busier

[regal pawn]

that's pretty much how it is

[vast ferry]

i used to run out of mp constantly even in arr

[regal pawn]

earlier dungeons are gonna be more lenient on the healers unless you do dumb shit (like pull entire 1st room in aurum )

but it also varies with tanks

like drk or gnb will need more healing than a war

[boreal storm]

I mean you don’t have many things in ARR

[vast ferry]

since i got more ogcd and started abusing regen it's gone down

[regal pawn]

welcome to Proper Healer Gameplay™️

ogcds first

then resource dumps

then gcds

[oak lily]

I don't think any healer can deal with Aurum first room

[vast ferry]

i've only got a couple but even lily skills are great in a pinch

[oak lily]

there's literally 3

[boreal storm]

1 every 30s, use them

[vast ferry]

been trying to slowely increase the time i take to heal

rn i'm succesful on the 30% mark

[oak lily]

I had to do so many rezzes at 87

me, a Whm, two Blm's, and a Drk

[vast ferry]

that reninds me do drk have self heal

[oak lily]

yes

but also the worst invuln

unless you've got a Whm

[boreal storm]

But it’s not enough to save you from yourself

[regal pawn]

yes, but it's not very practical on bosses

their self heal only shines on trash pulls

but even then

[vast ferry]

i think 1 team had what looked like a paladin and 1 was a drk

white armor sword and sheild

[boreal storm]

That’s pld, only job with shields past ARR

[vast ferry]

uh whm and blm can use a sheild if they have a 1h weapon

[oak lily]

which suck after 50

[vast ferry]

not that there's any reason to

[faint flare]

which doesn't exist past arr

and not worth mentioning at all

[vast ferry]

no wonder i hadn't seen any

[boreal storm]

You can’t even glam them over 2-handed weapons apparently

[vast ferry]

which is annoying if understandable

[gaunt fable]

my finger slipped thank you

[regal pawn]

[vast ferry]

should i do the guildhiest rullet

[boreal storm]

Lol no

[regal pawn]

only good xp from guildhest is from the challenge log

so yes

deceptively good

[fleet steppe]

Only if you're level 10-15 lol

[leaden ginkgo]

So I’m trying to get gunbreaker to 80 and it’s at 60. Should I just do heaven on high or dungeon grind to get to 70

[boreal storm]

Tank = dungeon

[regal pawn]

you can do hoh 21-30 if there's good queues cause it's surprisingly speedy

otherwise dungeon

and goonbie is boosted af in hoh

[leaden ginkgo]

What’s goonbie

[boreal storm]

GNB

[fleet steppe]

HoH sucks for exp now according to my friend but still a viable option if you prefer doing stuff over waiting in queue as dps.

[leaden ginkgo]

Ohhh

[faint flare]

just like always, if ques are 15mins or longer than potd/hoh/bojza is better

if its under 15mins than dungeons are better

[fleet steppe]

Personally haven't tried it out myself but he said he was only getting like a 6th of a level per run

[regal pawn]

no way they crashed it that hard

i was getting like a 3rd on mch before ew

[boreal storm]

Unless you’re lvl 71+ HoH should be decent exp

[fleet steppe]

idk ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Isn't bozja/zadnor better than dungeons regardless?

[regal pawn]

no

[faint flare]

Only if ques are long

As usual

[regal pawn]

Though

You can make zadnor miles faster than dungeons

but it's super finnicky

[fleet steppe]

Like doing the same 4 fates over and over?

[regal pawn]

You basically just make sure nobody is near the fate spawns
so they're always scaled to lowest setting

and you run essences and reflect for chocobo fate

you can kill them in like 20-30s

[fleet steppe]

dang

[regal pawn]

but good luck doing that with bajillion people

[fleet steppe]

that sounds like it would be faster ngl

oh wait thats what you said

🤦

[vast hinge]

it really doesn't matter that much though, it's unlikely you outpace the spawn rate

[regal pawn]

8-man party
dedicated deep essence of the breathtaker runner with whale mount

speed

[vast hinge]

main thing is it gets around those trap runs where some CE takes like 10 mins

[regal pawn]

ignore CEs

[fleet steppe]

I love Breathtaker essence

[regal pawn]

waste of time unless there's only under-8 people for the echo boost

[vast hinge]

best solution: find some friends so you don't have to queue dungeons

win win

[regal pawn]

boost /s

[vast hinge]

can remove the /s if we talking about leveling

[pulsar hawk]

wat does this mean guys?

[regal pawn]

in event

iirc

[faint flare]

In duty

[cursive ridge]

thank you for that tip, made the health bars way thicker and mana bars tiny (so i can still see healer's mana for example, but it isn't taking 50% of the party frame width)

[regal pawn]

that

[regal pawn]

[vast hinge]

even a min wage job is more time efficient than actually leveling to 80. the caveat being you don't enjoy leveling at all

[cerulean bane]

any mount that is on sale that worth getting?

[boreal storm]

Subjective

[vast hinge]

any answer to that question is inherently subjective - how much you like the mount VS how much money it is to you varies too much person to person

[regal pawn]

Lunar whale is the only one that's "worth"

Due to being an 8-man mount

[boreal storm]

Ehh

[cerulean bane]

yeah subjective, i mean like the mount that rarely goes on sale haha

[jovial quarry]

Fenrir motorcycle might be worth for newer players, even if the speed boost is made irrelevant by simply progressing.

[boreal storm]

I mean they’ll eventually go on sale, if the devs feel like doing so

[cerulean bane]

right

[proper walrus]

To get a high quality food item to cook with, do you just need to be lucky when harvesting?

[jovial quarry]

High quality base materials no longer exist

[boreal storm]

You can’t get HQ items from gathering

If you want something HQ, it has to be crafted or a mob drop

[jovial quarry]

Intermediate materials, like olive oil and such, can be HQ and still function like they used to.

[proper walrus]

Ah so olive oil, table salt etc still adds quality to the final product and hopefully gives a good change of the final product being a HQ item.

[dense pier]

What's the difference here? Why is one orange, and one light blue?

You can see [One Player Per Job] here different colors

[brittle prism]

Yo I just got the game and I wanted to know if what data center we choose matters ?

[boreal storm]

You can’t choose aether on NA, it’s congested

[open ember]

Orange is requirements. Blue is objective

[brittle prism]

So crystal and primal are ok to choose?

[jovial quarry]

Make sure you pick a data center appropriate for your region. Other than that there’s no real difference. Aether can not accept new characters at the moment.

[boreal storm]

[Duty complete] and [duty completion] are quite different

[strange coral]

Color is determined by the objective. Completion is blue. Loot is orange. The rest are requirements.

[brittle prism]

Ty guys

[dense pier]

I know those are different

just wondering why one has [One Player Per Job] blue and orange

[open ember]

Probably to keep the same color

[little swift]

It's because of the duty complete tag

How does the Home World Transfer Service work exactly..? Am I able to transfer my character from EU to NA, or is it locked by region?

You can

[ivory jasper]

im having trouble figuring this out, if i buy a ffxiv steam version on a different steam account than my current steam account, will i be able to link that "different ffxiv steam account" to my current account when this happens if my versions are the same but the actual "codes" do not match?

[hidden cypress]

can i still participate in s rank hunts if i havent unlocked them

[oak lily]

you might very well get squished, but you should be able to

[hidden cypress]

no i can solo it

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

What can i do to get it in Stormblood post

Poetics

[leaden ginkgo]

Where can i buy them in STB?

[indigo cosmos]

I'm trying to transfer from Sargatanas to Gilgamesh but it seems like that option isn't available - when might it be?

[warm snow]

The hub and the city

Same as every other expansion

[boreal storm]

No transfers to aether worlds, just use world visit

[warm snow]

No time soon

Find somewhere else

[slate arrow]

not until the next maintenance earliest

Allllll of aether is congested last time I checked

[indigo cosmos]

Oh I see
Does maintenance usually entail some reallocations?

[regal pawn]

6.1™️

[warm snow]

Some Aether worlds was manually switched to congested during 5.55 iirc so it's unlikely to have shifted that much

[warm snow]

World statuses only change when a content patch drops or unseen overpopulation forced the dev teams hand

Aether was the latter to a degree so it's unlikely to be marked as not congested in 6.1

Which is the next content patch

[oak lily]

Oce DC should help

[warm snow]

Eh

Most oce players were playing jp servers not us

[open ember]

I'd wait until 6.1. Which is March or something

Nothing you can do if aether is congested

[indigo cosmos]

Is there any drawback to cross world? I was only recently gifted full game so I havent had the chance to try

[warm snow]

You can't access your retainers outside your home world

And you lose your fc buffs

[open ember]

And any mail, you can't access either

[boreal storm]

And warping to your FC house

[indigo cosmos]

We have mail?

[barren granite]

<Wanderer>

[open ember]

Moogle mail yes

[barren granite]

if you open the map you'll see lil Mail envelope icon

[indigo cosmos]

I must go check my neglected mailbox then

[open ember]

You should get a little mail icon next to your current world name

If there's nothing, you have no mail

If you're on another world other than your home world, the mail icon will be rainbow

[warm snow]

Mail is also where you get shit you buy on mogstation and stuff like that

So if say someone gifted you a mount and you redeemed the code, you'd get the mount in the mail

[indigo cosmos]

it's this thing?

nice thanks!

[spark kite]

is there no crafting quests after level 70?

I just got to The Crystalline Mean

[heavy wadi]

nope, the crystalline mean quests are more "crafter role quests" than anything.

the reason being in part that doh/dol stories kind of conclude at level 70, like the combat jobs.

[spark kite]

the final stretch

been grinding all month

[open ember]

Alternatively, there's really no more class quests for any class after 70. Crafters/gatherers become facet quests and battle jobs become role quests.

[cursive ridge]

am i missing something or can you not access "Player Search Info" from the context menu for players not in your party?

right clicking on players in the world doesnt have that option

[open ember]

It does not

You have to use player search itself thru the party menu and look up search info like that

[cursive ridge]

that is quite silly

[open ember]

The only thing you have access to on the overworld is gear, search info tag and title and such

[autumn needle]

Anyone have a list of things to buy for Anima weapons? Trying to figure out what to spend poetics on to work up to it over time

[open ember]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Anima_Weapons

Has everything

[boreal storm]

You can’t buy the stuff until you unlock the vendors/items

[autumn needle]

I already have 12 Pneumite for them, I know I've seen a list of stuff to spend poetics on for doing them later

[open ember]

Aether oil, Umbrite, Singing Cluster, Unidentifable items from Idyllshire

Everything is in that link

[autumn needle]

Ok thanks

[open ember]

When I was doing multiple anima I took from the wiki

You can probably also put it into teamcraft

[autumn needle]

I found it btw

https://docs.google.com/spreadsheets/u/0/d/1bsHZM-0sSdaajAwILUPbUSOsMzDiCP7o4DGb3-gQTog/htmlview#gid=0

You're not. You're fine

[obsidian patio]

Fates and side quests

Or POTD

[half hare]

then do ya hunts ,fates

[zinc bramble]

Hunting logs as well

[quaint dagger]

How much exp does POTD gives?

[half hare]

it varies on the floor and your level

[quaint dagger]

Is it worth it from base floor 1?

[glossy flare]

the most efficient way to level is spamming floors 51-60 over and over again

[zinc bramble]

Depends on your aetherpool. After you get enough 51-60 is the most efficient but will make you hate playing the game.

[quaint dagger]

That's scary

What does it have

[zinc bramble]

It is just boring

[glossy flare]

nothing, that's the thing

just very monotonous

[zinc bramble]

and slow

[glossy flare]

it is faster if your dungeon queues are 15+ minutes

[half hare]

i oddly enjoyed it but when i was a healer since i could just rush like a mad man aoe an heal myself up and eveyrone follows basicly a better tank

[zinc bramble]

Only if you do nothing while in queue

Hey im a returning player, havent played for like 3 years, im wondering is there any class/job that's not good? im currently a glad, was trying to get to 50 for dark knight but then i realised, maybe dark knight is not very good 😛

[faint flare]

No

All jobs are good

Devs know how to balance

that's cool

thanks for quick answer 🙂

[civic nimbus]

wasn't there a vendor for the 88 weapons?

[strange coral]

Yes, in Labyrinthos and the last 2 zones

Not in the cities though from what I see

[viscid fossil]

Hey guys why I cannot find the scroll from this vendor? https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/item/197792e6521/

[strange coral]

You need to rank up shared fate for that zone

[viscid fossil]

Where can I see that rank?

I didn't know

[civic nimbus]

travel=> shared fate

[half hare]

travel , shared fates

[viscid fossil]

Thank you!

I feel like a noob

[boreal storm]

Gotta do 66 fates in zone 6

[viscid fossil]

yikes thanks

[stiff fiber]

howcome some ppl call "parse" as "barse"? is there some different terminology to it

[heavy wadi]

because it's

technically against tos

and reportable

which is why some people write barse in pf

[agile laurel]

writing it as 'not parse' is a slightly tongue in cheek way to avoid saying it outright

funny coloured numbers would be another way

[obsidian patio]

I think “barse” is more referring to

[cosmic badge]

Do I take a skill speed or a spell speed materia gem thingy from a quest reward as RDM, I assume spell but double checking.

[robust crow]

well

first of all

1. that materia is very likely useless or old

2. rdm generally doesn't use spell speed

3. quest materia in general is usually not useful

so tldr doesn't matter what you pick

[sinful holly]

so for eureka does it matter which one i start with?

[faint flare]

You can spin it to your advantage

You put all your magicite in the same line

[sinful holly]

uhhh

[twilit arch]

what elemental you want depends on what you're fighting

so put it in whatever until you start fighting something, then swap to the appropriate element

[sinful holly]

am i able to do all of them? or does it not matter which one i pick?

[faint flare]

You can but it's a waste

Cause you only use two elements at once

One for offence and one for defence

You either do all in one, or 3 in the offensive element and 2 in defence

All in one is most common cause damage is king

[sinful holly]

https://tenor.com/view/headache-migraine-stressed-out-charlie-day-its-always-sunny-in-philadelphia-gif-5048553

too much thinking lol stressful

[twilit arch]

its really not

just put it all into one for dmg

and rotate appropriately against what you're fighting

I keep running into situations where I need a specific fish
Is there a website that can tell me where to go/what bait to use?

[oak lily]

google it?

[half hare]

cat became hungry is the most common ppl use

[oak lily]

[warm snow]

Not recently, it's an ad lock nightmare last I heard

Carbuncle plushy would be my recommendation

[indigo cosmos]

ahh, that explains it
I had cat became hungry bookmarked from ages ago but it didn't work when I looked

I also found carbuncle plushy but dont really understand how to use it

https://ff14fish.carbuncleplushy.com/ it's just a massive list of fish and usually the fish I need don't show up in ctrl-f

[warm snow]

Carbuncle plushy only tracks big fish for the most part

If you have a specific list use team craft

(Fair enough, I haven't played in a while, so this sort of thing can happen.)
But when I try to create a new character, I start to get this error part way through.
Does anyone know how I can get my save/character back, or at least create a new one without the error?

I should be. 🤔

I mean I'm able to log in.

How about the right data center?

[idle nexus]

Normally I don't have to select the data centre when logging in.

But even so, I'm pretty sure I'm selecting the one I used before.

who is your character? maybe we can try searching?

I just named my character my real name Aaron Davis. 😅

If they're on your friends then they'll have a different name colour

[idle nexus]

I found myself twice.

yes they are

[winter jetty]

default is scroll lock (on pc) but you can change the keybind by going into keybinds -> system -> toggle ui display mode

[winter jetty]

which data center are you in? does it match the one next to your name?

[idle nexus]

One is probably Mac and the other is probably PC.

So wait can you only get a single relic weapon?

[faint flare]

No

You redo everything for other jobs

[ivory crest]

Oh thank god.

[faint flare]

You just can't be on the same step on multiple jobs

[winter jetty]

mac vs pc doesn't matter. can you click on data center in the main menu? there would be a star next to the data center you're currently on

Ok hang on, gotta get the game back up and running.

I clicked on the data centre, but it isn't showing my character. I'm still being forced to create a new one. 🤔

so you tried selecting crystal -> diabolos and your character didn't show up?

your best bet is to probably either contact support or just make a new character if you haven't gotten too far yet

Thank you so much.

It's still crashing though.

Update directx

And your gpu drivers

Etc etc etc

If you still have issues ask #technology-discussion

Ok. Thanks.

Have we got a date for when the free trial is going to be opened up again?

[faint flare]

No

[summer briar]

[idle nexus]

Last time I tried updating GPU drivers, I lost Windows, so I'm a bit hesitant to try that again. 😅

[summer briar]

That quite possibly means your current GPU driver is faulty.

Use DDU to wipe your current one and install the one you want.

[idle nexus]

Ok.

If updating DirectX doesn't fix that then I'll try that.

Role Quests FAQ

What are Role Quests?

Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.

At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.

I can't find where I left off!

No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests

[faint flare]

Check all the locations for physical

[boreal storm]

Also look in your complete quest section

I'll have a look at it, after taking care of RL business, but thanks for the aid everyone.

But Holy 3 is better

Convert it to what, that’s fine

^

There's no real themes for FC names.

[hot gale]

Cause then the reference is obvious af

[robust crow]

aether currents of destruction

kek

[open coral]

Garuda's Wrath

lol

[boreal storm]

They don’t really care about FC names unless you’re swearing or being real creepy

[hot gale]

Magicks of Calamity?

[open coral]

Also, unless "Winds of Destruction" is referencing "Sands of Destruction"... the reference isn't obvious, at least to me.

[hot gale]

its to hide the obvious metal gears desparado pmc reference

[boreal storm]

It’s not that obvious, not everyone has played Metal gear
Let alone that specific one

[open coral]

There are literally FCs named after guilds in anime and other video games all over the place.

I've never played Metal Gear

[hot gale]

Ye but flavor, guess Im Aetherstream Sam

Name it what you like.

Nobody's going to notice or care unless you specifically mention it.

[robust crow]

I really don't think people care much about FC names

personal names sure

[open coral]

Mostly I think people just like to find ones with funny tags.

Like <<Kupo>>

but you have FCs going around named Atelier Nya

what is the minimum amount of materia needed for a zodiac weapon sphere scroll?

[boreal storm]

I read it was 75 somewhere

[fallen niche]

well yeah, but how many grade 1s, 2s and 3s do you need

[twilit arch]

there's no real number for that since its rng whether it melds or not

[obsidian patio]

Depends on how many different stats you do too

[twilit arch]

so you may need more than what someone else needed

[fallen niche]

well yeah, that's why I asked the minimum number

Assuming you're just going for the minimum amount of different stats

and also that every materia infuses itself 100%

[obsidian patio]

If you do 4 different stats, it should be 44 grade ones and 31 grade twos

[boreal storm]

The stats don’t matter so... do whatever takes less time

[lament imp]

so at what point should i level my gathering classes if at all

[open coral]

Whenever you want.

Crafting/Gathering is one of a multitude of optional side content things you can do.

[fallen niche]

Whenever you start crafting unless you are filthy rich

[obsidian patio]

I recommend holding off until you have flying for the relevant zones

To greatly speed up leveling

[hot gale]

Alright thanks guys cool

🙂

We decided to stick to the original and go with it

[fallen niche]

Oh yeah, since the stats don't really matter on the zodiac weapon anymore, could you put spell speed on a melee relic?

[twilit arch]

yeah

can even put tenacity and piety

[fallen niche]

Aight cool.

Does it have to be battle stats

[twilit arch]

yes

[faint flare]

Pld is the only job with ranged combo

It's not a proper gun

A gunblade works by using explosions caused from the cartridge to vibrate the blade when striking for additional damage

the trick to potd is spam floors 51-60

otherwise yes, queues suck

if i hypothetically put off capping out on astronomy tomes for the entire week, what is the most efficient way for me to do it before reset?

i know roulettes +wondrous tales, but is there anything else im forgetting

do endwalker hunts give astro?

[hushed condor]

dont have those yet

it'd be better to just wait for duty queues at that point if youre gonna solo potd

they take long

honestly for my altdps leveling, i run some roulettes as a dps

maybe some fates or solo hunts, but tahts really it

Best bet for fast scrips is custom deliveries imo

Which are only doable once a week but will net you enough scrips to do like half the crystal sand quest

And that's any crafting or gathering job but I think you need to be 60+

[strong rover]

is this a real hairstyle you can have in the game or is it modded? playing on a console is so limiting sometimes

[craggy tinsel]

based on the ss quality alone I assume modded

[plain python]

will the cap of current tome increase to 900?

[faint flare]

No

[primal gull]

Not for a long time

[craggy tinsel]

probably not until the end of the expansion if I had to guess, based on how ShB went

[faint flare]

That's only for the last tome of the expansion

At the very end

[tulip chasm]

its the hair you get from marriage

[sacred slate]

Is this normal? All I did was exit the game at the Inn in New Gradania

[tropic flame]

it happens sometimes to me but not a big deal

[heavy wadi]

not modded, that's the hair you get from eternal bond

[plain python]

happen from times to times for me, just relaunch the client

[atomic jewel]

What do you do with level 90 characters? Cuz ik you can do raids and expert roulette what can you do?

[limber hound]

Brute force older content

[atomic jewel]

Dang, so just waiting for patch stuff?

[heavy wadi]

uh....

you have savage?

level alt jobs, gear up, crafting,

[modest igloo]

savage, treasure maps, expert, soloing, all the content that was here before 6.0

[atomic jewel]

I kinda forgot about treasure maps, tho I think im gonna try savage!

[modest igloo]

oops, also forgot hunts

[outer mural]

it's just hard content at 90 which is extremes and savage yeah

and after that you have ults

otherwise you just... play normal content until you get bored and level anotherr class or play another game

[modest igloo]

rn we're in the leveling phase of the expac

[spring dagger]

If I leave PotD to go turn in shards for potions/buy more, will I lose all of my 'inventory' of poms/etc, or will it stay there for when I come back? (Currently doing Fixed party for attempt at farthest I can go solo)

[modest igloo]

get all the jobs you want up to 90, then stuff like deep dungeons and exporitory areas come out

[modest igloo]

nope

save stays there with what you have

[spring dagger]

Awesome, great to hear.

[trail isle]

Anyone know what this means?

[heavy wadi]

it means what it says

you need higher item level gear.

should have a high enough ilvl if you do your job quests and get your job gear.

[trail isle]

I just finished my last job quest and I'm still getting this

[leaden ginkgo]

favorite Grand Company and why?

[brave prawn]

equip better gear

[tropic flame]

did you equip it?

[tulip chasm]

doesn't really matter aside from glam purposes and accessibility

[trail isle]

Yeah I equipped everything

[tulip chasm]

and i personally dont even touch the glam stuff

[leaden ginkgo]

no lore right?

[trail isle]

Everything is item lvl 45 to 50

[tulip chasm]

nope

[tropic flame]

try reopening your DF

or maybe its your accessories

[trail isle]

Ok

[heavy wadi]

the level of your gear =/= item level

[tulip chasm]

probably their accessories

[brave prawn]

you can set you current gear as a gearset and it will tell you what your average ilvl is

its prob accessories yeah

[heavy wadi]

your job gear should be ilvl 90

[tulip chasm]

you can buy accessories from the vendors in any of the 3 main cities

[trail isle]

Figured it out. Thanks guys

[rugged sail]

What's a good way to get Lightning shards for crafting? Been mass producing items as a weaver and I've run out of those.

[merry merlin]

Buy them on the MB or gather them with miner or botanist. They have skills that increase the shard/crystal yield drastically

[rugged sail]

MB is the auction house?

[merry merlin]

Yes

Short for Market Board

[rugged sail]

As a f2p I can't access it, can I?

[merry merlin]

Sadly no

[rugged sail]

Mining it is then

[sacred slate]

I'm level 16 but I'm guessing I have to reach a certain point in the story to get to limsa? The next quest is level 14 still so I think that's why :c

[modest igloo]

Msq is more important than level

[merry merlin]

You'll reach the other main cities at MSQ level 15

[sacred slate]

Got it thanks. I can't wait to get to limsa and get a minion

[merry merlin]

There are tons of minions in the game, you can get them by doing basically any content. Or are you talking about mounts?

[sacred slate]

Minions. I saw a vid that you can get really cheap minions on a vender. Also some people auction cheap minions too

[limber hound]

Wind-up airship

[sacred slate]

Emerald carbuncle

[limber hound]

Carbuncles are different

Only ACN/SMN has them

[sacred slate]

Dang

Then anything cool really

[boreal storm]

You can get carby mounts

With $$$

[sacred slate]

Big whale at 16

[limber hound]

!minion benben stone

[zinc orbit]

Benben Stone

Long ago, the men of Meracydia built great stone monuments in the image of Benben, a mound of myth whose name means “eternity.” This object is the top piece of such a structure, but none can say how it came to be in the dark depths of a faraway sea─or why it has legs.

Get this one

[manic flare]

is their a nier event coming up or is someone pulling my leg

[boreal storm]

In the Nier mobile game, they’re doing a collab

[sacred slate]

Are add-ons prohibited?

[narrow jay]

They are against the Terms of Service.

[boreal storm]

just don’t mention them in game if you do use em

[sacred slate]

Good to know. I won't use them, I just hate that there's no chat bubbles

Wait a sec, how are bards getting away with song scripts?

[tacit vault]

hey so eorzea collection has been really nice to see all the different kinds of armor, is there a similar thing for weapons? wanna see the different options visually for drk in particular

[viscid lake]

So does Dragon Kick render Bootshine and True Strike obsolete? I'm not seeing a reason to keep using them.

[limber hound]

Dragon Kick makes your Bootshine hit harder

And the damage buff button is never unused

[viscid lake]

Yeah, but 290 potency higher? Is it worth the extra hassle to not just use Dragon when in Opo?

[warped nest]

[warped nest]

God damn it

[limber hound]

crit bootshine + dragon kick buff = 620? pot

I think

if crit just means double damage

[warped nest]

Crit is not double

But the math worked out in favor of doing them back to back

(even if it didn't, the dev would have make adjustments to make it so)

Additionally, the guranteed crit from bootshine means you build more chakra

[viscid lake]

Also, most things don't live long enough for the two cycles for it to matter.

In the open, at least.

[limber hound]

These things are scaled for extended fights

[warped nest]

Who cares what you do to enemies that die in 3 hits

If you want to wear them down with auto attacks, so be it

What breadingway said

That said, we still recommend doing your combos in the open, to avoid building up bad habits

[narrow jay]

yeah, we had a saying in the Navy: you fight like you train, so train like you fight

[viscid lake]

I've been doing Kick-Snakes-Snap on single guys, swap the occasional Snap for Demolish if I'm fighting a boss. You can only do True Strike every other cycle if you want to keep the Snakes buff, and Bootshine is just a worse Kick. Or, maybe not worse, but not worth the extra complexity, I think?

[warped nest]

Bootshine under opo Opo and with leaden fist is stronger than dragon kick

And bootshine builds chakra

Dragon kick can crit too (and build Chakra), but bootshine is guranteed to crit

In the cases where things die quickly, it didn't matter

But in prolonged fights, the small difference matters

[lethal helm]

what are tips on choosing a fc?

[warped nest]

Does the vibe suits you

In most circumstances, FC are for people to hang out

[lethal helm]

i guess i should stop trying to find a high ranked fc lol

[wind zephyr]

maybe look for fc tags that you're interested

[limber hound]

Bootshine is a worse Kick, until you Kick

[wind zephyr]

casual/roleplay/hardcore etc

[warped nest]

While you can raid with FC members, the norm is to raid with statics or recruit with various discord (assuming you wanna do old raids synced etc)

[limber hound]

At 52 you get this

which lets you get the leaden fist buff right off the bat

[wind zephyr]

[outer mural]
