[cursive ridge]

which bosses are you having problems with?

usually dungeon bosses can be learned blind

[regal pawn]

Holy sprite maybe

Nvm

[cursive ridge]

i only did sohr khai like once, so it's hard to say what's killing you without seeing it

[shut orbit]

if lets say i switch do a different class, will i still have the below lv80 exp bonus?

[patent citrus]

would recommend to not watch a guide for just normal roulette stuff...

[last mural]

Is there a housing channel in this discord?

[regal pawn]

Yes

[patent citrus]

just run it blind

[shut orbit]

How long is this lv80 buff for tho

[patent citrus]

3 months since you create the character

and will last till the server is no longer preferred

[pure copper]

if im only at ShB, what do i spend nuts on?

[cursive ridge]

set up your "Battle" chat log channel like this

and turn off everything else

then you will be able to switch to Battle channel after you die and see what killed you

it will be something like "Boss uses Ability.
You are dealt 25000 damage"

can turn off damage dealt by you if you're not interested

[boreal storm]

It also mentions whether something is magic or physical damage

[cursive ridge]

it does?

[boreal storm]

It’ll say “boss casts X” for magic or something

Like so

[regal pawn]

Iirc it's readies/uses for instant and casts for anything not isntant

[cursive ridge]

tbh just easier to remember that all aoe is magic and autoattacks are physical

[regal pawn]

Not all
But most

[cursive ridge]

aoe you're supposed to take on your face is magic i guess

otherwise the gear defense/job health would make it lopsided

[jade quartz]

Most raidwides are magical, most tbs and autos are physical, but there are plenty of exceptions

[cursive ridge]

like casters have less health than ranged physical, but more magic defense to compensate, so they end up taking similar amounts of damage from raidwides

Poqhiraj telegraphing is a mess, so confusing

[last mural]

Does this discord have a housing channel? Or does any1 have any recommendations for a housing discord?

[cursive ridge]

first time i did it i thought i needed to hide from the line attack in the trenches, but nope

[last mural]

I'm looking to maybe start making my own room in my FC house, but i'm very new to housing...

[little swift]

technically #protips-and-ui is also intended for housing, but the reality is that its a very low discussion topic on this discord

[last mural]

Ah... dammit... Then do u know of any active housing discord? The ones i found are for selling/buying houses

[little swift]

#resources message
try some of the links in our #resources channel

[last mural]

Thanks alot

[tulip chasm]

how do i link smth I don't own in chat, i know you can use the /isearch but i cant use it to search something im trying to find

[boreal storm]

You can’t link items you don’t have access to

[regal pawn]

Item search plugin

[tulip chasm]

ahhh pain

[tulip chasm]

can't do that, am on dx9 😔

Das it

[narrow jay]

thank you

[oak lily]

lvl 70

[visual knoll]

so i can level skip a fresh character to 70 and just swap to reaper?

don't have to do the story?

[boreal storm]

Why you making a new character tho

[leaden ginkgo]

maybe they are doing it on a new server or DC?

[boreal storm]

Also job skips are to lvl 80 no matter what

[restive yarrow]

I just did 2 of the containment bay extremes unsync'd and it didn't spawn a loot chest? why??

what happened

[visual knoll]

ah thats fine id only be using it to unlock reaper anyway. its for an alt that may become a main later on

[restive yarrow]

wait no

[boreal storm]

You didn’t do the extremes then

[restive yarrow]

yes

I did the normals

because I am extremely stupid

[urban grotto]

where in heavansward areas can I find wyvernskin maps?

[modest igloo]

theres some bushes nearby zenith

[urban grotto]

where's that?

[modest igloo]

thanks!

[patent citrus]

is there any way to prevent my chat log to scroll down to the latest message?

automatically

like I tried to find a certain message and It put me back to the last message always

[jade quartz]

There’s an addon for that, part of simpletweaks I think

Otherwise no

[patent citrus]

[sly vessel]

is there a journeyman salvager in kugane

[patent citrus]

usually only in main cities

I mean the 3 starter cities

limsa/gridania/ul'dah

[leaden ginkgo]

question about debuffs
enemies do get immune to certain effects like slow/stun/paralyse etc after getting hit by it too many times
does this immunity wear off after X amount of minutes? or does that stay until the enemy is dead?
like if a training dummy gets immune could you EVER debuff it again cause you cant kill it

[patent citrus]

and your estate

[jade quartz]

It wears off one minute later

[modest igloo]

neat

[urban grotto]

i tried looking for this area but I can't find it, any advice?

[modest igloo]

thats what i used until i got the mod that flags it for me

[urban grotto]

thanks

i can't seem to find the right one, none of them match

[modest igloo]

are you looking at wyvernskin maps or dragonskin maps?

[urban grotto]

wyvernskin

[modest igloo]

prolly gotta change that on the website then

it defaults to dragonskin

[urban grotto]

didn't even notice that, thank you!

[leaden ginkgo]

how many level 90 580 ilvls would it take to do O12S unsynced

[modest igloo]

best to take 8 for limit cut tbh, it gets a bit funky if you dont

[leaden ginkgo]

alright thank you

[urban grotto]

best gear for level 90 reaper?

[boreal storm]

Requires doing Savage

[urban grotto]

second best gear?

[sly vessel]

how do you guys do the hotbar settings where it hides unused slots?

whats the best gear I can get for reaper without doing raids?

The Balance

Discord

[sweet gyro]

Do the " sets " in the item shop on the website count as gear? Because when I put the pieces on it unequips my actual gear.

[ornate glen]

echap --> character configuration --> hotbar (5th) --> transparency

[wintry chasm]

It's all gear

There is no like, not gear outfits

If you want to wear good gear and have the appearance of those sets on mogstation you need to use the glamour system

!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.

Is the grind for potd weapon bearable

[obsidian patio]

That’s entirely a personal thing

We can’t judge that for you

If you just want Padjali (white glow), then it goes by decently fast with spamming floors 51-60

If you want Kinna (Red Glow), then that takes about 3 times as long and needs you to clear floor 100 at least once.

[shut orbit]

is there like a % drop rate for the minions from syrcus tower

[oak lily]

there's minions in that?

[shut orbit]

ya sia i just got an onion knight

[warm snow]

100%

And since its not resellable its piss easy to get

[obsidian patio]

Yeah the minion drops from the 24-man raids are 100%

[shut orbit]

ooo ayyyy naisuuu

new minion!!

[warm snow]

Until 6.1 more than likely

As we had minions with a random drop rate in the shb raids

[leaden ginkgo]

was just recommended by someone in this discord to the ffxiv MB website/app, downloaded it and it seems to use ingame data on MB to update their data of prices. really a bit worried cuz all i wanted is to check which world has cheaper prices to buy, does anyone know if using ffxiv MB will result in suspension of account or bannable?

[warm snow]

But then they took away the randomness in a later patch

[lost grove]

How long do I let each brd song run for?

[warm snow]

3/12/3

[oak lily]

how do you get the Rathalos thing in Stb?

[warm snow]

Is when you switch

Minuet, ballad, paean

[warm snow]

in kugane after 4.0

@lost grove when can change when optimizing certain high end fights but 3/12/3 is standard rule of thumb for lining up with your burst

[lost grove]

Ok

Using Plug-ins/Add-ons that don’t give direct gameplay advantages (AKA cheating/botting) are completely safe to use as long as you aren’t telling random people in-game that you’re using it

Or are using it to harass others

thx very much, feel more comfortable now using the ffxiv MB thing

[urban grotto]

what is the benefit of crafting high quality items?

[modest igloo]

higher stats

[urban grotto]

oh, that makes sense lol

[modest igloo]

nq crafted gear is basically garbage, like 20-30 ilvls of stats lost compared to HQ

food and pots also go from an 8% cap of a stat to a 10% when HQ

is there a way to turn down Saturation and stuff. Ill Mheg is hurting my eyes

[gentle junco]

you can adjust gamma in display settings, but apart from that there really isn't anything

[oak quarry]

just leave il mheg

[gentle junco]

you can also use your graphics card software to reduce saturation specifically for FFXIV client

your mileage may vary but when I have migraine, I find blue light filtering to help significantly

I tried to reinstall the game, but it keeps happening.
does anyone have a solution for that problem?

you try reinstalling DX ?

Can I ask Shadowbringers MSQ related question here?

[green grail]

yeah just spoiler it

[strong sphinx]

do the Shadowbringer Hunt Trains help with getting/capping Astronomy Tomestones?

Or are Astronomy Tomestones only linked to the Endwalker hunt trains?

[patent storm]

Possible Shadowbringers spoiler. || I am doing Put to the Proof quest and I have to dive under lake to find three statues. When I reach second statue it poisons me and I do not have enough time to resurface and asuna myself. I tried to reach third statue assuming that it will remove poison, but that is not a case. What is the solution here?||

[green grail]

google says it's a bug and the poison wasn't adjusted for the stat squish

but you only get poisoned if you pick the wrong statues

so just look up the quest on youtube and check the correct order

[twilit arch]

can get astronomy on shb hunts, but keep in mind that you have to be 90 to get it

[livid island]

direct hit better or skill speed better?

[solemn jewel]

Depends on ur class and bis

is there another way to farm anima mats (unidentifiable) aside from poetics

is there a way to prioritize my own buffs on the buff list?
during opener/2 minutes bursts especially with a dnc it becomes just impossible to quickly look at my own buffs since there is 10+

beast tribes, mats from alexander raids

[sly vessel]

i dont see any unidentifiable mats on alexander, or do i have to exchange the mats i get from there?

from the alexander vendors

[green grail]

you have your hotbars and gauge for that? if you have a proc the border is gonna glow like a combo

oh with a dnc i thought you're the dnc

i play samurai and my Ogi timer as long as meikyo charges etc get lost on the other 15+ buffs i have

would be very useful to have my own buffs showed first in the list

What do most people do now for bcob turn 5? Only pf? Df quotes >30min waits

[jade quartz]

PF, always has been

It's a savage raid.

Extreme and Savage level content is not queued for, it's done with PF premades.

[void hinge]

Bcob is not savage I thought ucob was savage?

[jade quartz]

UCoB is Ultimate.

BCoB is Savage level.

[void hinge]

Oh right U

Heh

[civic nimbus]

anyone knows where the control option for speeding up credits scroll speed are? I somehow managed to unbind it, and can't find how to bind it again

[void hinge]

So all bcob is savage (turn 1-5) is there a normal?

[modest igloo]

Nope

[void hinge]

Ahhh ok thx!

[modest igloo]

Most people unsync it for story

HW raids get a normal mode you can queue for

[jade quartz]

It came out before the Normal/Savage split as we know it now was established, but it is equivalent to current Savage difficulty.

So for all intents and purposes it's Savage

[void hinge]

Yes I’ve noticed hw onward there’s a normal version so I figured I’d ask

[modest igloo]

Ye, ARR jank as per the usual

[void hinge]

Ty all

[jade quartz]

Second Coil of Bahamut also has a separate mode that is named Savage but is beyond usual savage difficulty.

The regular Second Coil of Bahamut is already current-Savage equivalent

[leaden ginkgo]

Hey guys, I'm a FFXIV returnee, will I be able to play through the MSQ questline from the beginning since I don't remember much of the story?

[strange coral]

You can if you start a new character, or use new game plus after it's unlocked

[solemn jewel]

Depending on where you left off u can use new game + to replay the story yes

[open coral]

I guess the more relevant question would be: how far in did you get when you last played?

[manic jasper]

is this the right room for a macro question

[open coral]

Sure

[manic jasper]

im looking to reference a HQ food in a macro but cannot figure out how

it works with regular quality

[leaden ginkgo]

I left off at the end of Stormblood, I stopped right before Shadowbringers launched.

[open coral]

In that case you can unlock NG+ and replay the story.

[solemn jewel]

Ye if u have new game+ unlocked u can replay the chapters

[leaden ginkgo]

How does one unlock NG+?

[strange coral]

NPC outside of Waking Sands iirc

[open coral]

Speak to the Xehanort lookalike in Vesper Bay

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

This lad

[open coral]

The one who is totally not Xehanort from KH.

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank ye folks, appreciate the help

[open coral]

NG+ has the benefit of being in "chapters", so you can play just as much of it as you want, and skip bits if you don't care.

Or if you play through some of it and go "oh yeah! I remember this!"

[open coral]

I don't think you can, since the HQ tag is a "hidden" value not directly attached to the item name.

What exactly are you trying to do?

[manic jasper]

bummer

i have my job swap macros change out my mount and food on my hotbar

[strange coral]

You can copy and paste the HQ icon from chat in to macro text

[open coral]

Would that actually function in a macro though?

Or would it treat it as invalid?

[strange coral]

It works for macro icon last I checked. It should work for using an item I think

[manic jasper]

OMG IT WORKS

thanks everyone

[open coral]

Huh. I figured it wouldn't read the icon as valid text and would either make the macro misfire or simply ignore it.

[manic jasper]

your answer made way more sense but im glad this wonky system is in place

[open coral]

Since the is "special text"

And not directly tied to the item name.

[barren granite]

is there any way to have 2 sqUAD MISSIONS RUNNING AT SAME TIME ?

oops caps

[narrow jay]

no

[barren granite]

kk ty alla

[narrow jay]

it would be nice

[open coral]

You're not going to have a whole lot of luck no matter what time.

It's not like normal instances that have roulettes and peak times to lean on.

[winged valley]

is this how see when I have to renew my subscription ?

[boreal storm]

No, the end date of your sub period

It’s above that pretty sure

[open coral]

I'd recommend putting up a PF and trying to get a fixed party.

That will get you to the floors that everyone queues.

[winged valley]

do I need 10 euros on steam to renew my sub ?

I am a steam player

[boreal storm]

!faq subpriceeu

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

90 days/3 months = £25.17 / €35.97
180 days/6 months = £46.14 / €65.94

[open coral]

I mean, in theory you can do the floors with randoms at any time. The problem is that it's not as popular as PotD.

But at least if you get a fixed party you can farm the floors for awhile.

Most people just go for the fixed party floors though. To get the mount at the end.

[boreal storm]

No you don’t have to use your steam wallet, but you could if you felt like

[spice kraken]

is it possible to run alexander burden of the son and father on savage unsynced for glams?

[faint flare]

Yes

[open coral]

Playing on Steam just means you have the option to pay using your Steam wallet. You can also just pay through the Mogstation if you so choose.

[winged valley]

ok, I also heard every FF XIV player that bought the game on steam is regretting it is this true ?

[boreal storm]

No, not at all

[open coral]

Why would they?

[spice kraken]

solo?

[winged valley]

cuz game code nightmare

to link

[open coral]

The biggest downside of playing on Steam is that Steam doesn't have as many sales as the SE store does.

[boreal storm]

There’s like 0 differences between steam and non steam

[faint flare]

If you're capped. Only A4s and 8s are unsoloable

[winged valley]

ok

[narrow jay]

some may. "everyone" is an absolute claim with no possible way to support it, and is generally used hyperbolically by people who don't actually know what they're talking about

[brave eagle]

So small question. If you're level 90 and geared out in basic tomestone gear, about how many expansions ago can you be able to solo savage raids unsynced?

I know the ARR ones can be curbstomped unsynced, but what about the later ones like Stormblood or Shadowbringers or the like?

[open coral]

With full Moonward? You could probably solo some of the early Stormblood bosses.

Maybe.

[faint flare]

Only up to heavensward and like 4 stormblood fights

[narrow jay]

HW can probably be done, as long as you're aware of which ones you actually need to work mechanics for. SB can start to get kitschy if you're not on top of your rotation; a couple of the Containment Bays will destroy you immediately if you're not a tank.

Several SB trials need more than one person.

[faint flare]

Only o1, o4,o5, byakko, shinyru and suzuku and lakshami iirc have been soloed...but you need 25% echo which means wasting 5 pulls of at least 3mins building it

[open coral]

There are still a few of the Heavensward fights (as mentioned earlier) that you still need multiple people for mechanics on Savage.

[narrow jay]

Susano, for example, must have at least two people

[open coral]

And yeah, several of the Stormblood Extreme trials also require more more than one person for mechanics purposes.

[warm snow]

And no matter what you do its a terrible means of actually farming the content

You're better off making an unsync pf

[brave eagle]

Ah. Shame that the class gear of previous expansions other than Heavensard requires savage raid tokens for dyeable versions.

[open coral]

Just do a PF for farming.

[faint flare]

It doesn't

Just hunt currency

[narrow jay]

If you have a few people who also want glam gear, it goes very, very fast.

[warm snow]

Class gear?

Tf are you on about

Just use poetics gear

[narrow jay]

"for dyable versions"

means glam most likely

[warm snow]

Oh those ones you're also wrong

[faint flare]

It comes already upgraded

[zinc orbit]

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i210 set: Dyeable upon opening up the coffer received from completion of your level 60 job quest. Should you have disposed of any particular pieces, they can also be bought directly with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Yolaine in the 'Artifact Gear Exchange' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana. The weapons are by default dyeable when bought from Grenoldt.

Endwalker i560 set: Made dyeable from completing the relevant Endwalker Role Quest series. The gear is buyable from Varsarudh in Old Sharlayan at x11.8, y10.

[brave eagle]

Oh? So I can just waltz into the Tempest, grab the Shadowbringers astro gear from whats-his-face and it's already dyeable?

[warm snow]

No

[brave eagle]

Where as before it wasn't

[warm snow]

No

Scroll up

[brave eagle]

Exaxctly. That's why I was asking if I was able to solo the raids to get the bits I need.

[warm snow]

Those aren't raids

[boreal storm]

Nah

[warm snow]

And you can't solo anything in ShB anyways

[open coral]

Immediate previous expansion content is never soloable.

[warm snow]

Rath ex and lakshmi ex were soloed during shb

[open coral]

Unless you're some kind of top 0.001% player.

[open coral]

By people who specialize in doing that. Not by average players.

[brave eagle]

I'm kind of glad that Endwalker has their versions dyeable pretty much from the start.

[modest igloo]

nah in 530 laskhmi was pretty doable

mr happy did it in 518 average

(on war)

[open coral]

Mr Happy is not an example of an average player.

[narrow jay]

War has the self-sustain typically necessary to survive such things as well.

There's a difference between "soloable" and "cheeseable"

[sly field]

Where is the best place to find free companies on discord?

[open coral]

Isn't he in a static that does world first?

No, he is a week 1 clearer tho

Idk if that extends to ultimates though

[lime pewter]

So hey fellas, whose Charlemend?

[open coral]

?

Context?

[twilit arch]

he's the count of durendaire

[lime pewter]

oh, neat.

[twilit arch]

one of the 4 high houses of ishgard

[lime pewter]

How do I unlock expert deliveries for him?

[twilit arch]

do in the firmament until you get to his delivery unlock

[warm snow]

I could be wrong but I think there's some in that chain, unless they've been updated since

Never mind they updated them to be

[twilit arch]

no, none of the normal side quests are required

they are unlocked as you do the blue quests, yes

but you can skip them

[warm snow]

The stuff with the dragon family was before charlemend was added

I remember cuz I did them when I was clearing out all my side quests back before 5.5 and I had to get dye which was awkward

[twilit arch]

And its a now

[warm snow]

Ye

[twilit arch]

doesn't change my comment

you don't need to do any of the yellow side quests

[warm snow]

I know kael

I said as much

[viscid fossil]

What happen if you finish all the quests in the game? Like no more quests? lol

[warm snow]

Until the next content patch

[viscid fossil]

I wonder is there a 100% completionist ?

[warm snow]

I've done them all

[lime pewter]

Given the game's still ongoing, don't expect one last 'Thank you' questline.

[boreal storm]

That’s kinda impossible

[warm snow]

There might be some old ass players who've attempted it

But idk any of em

[viscid fossil]

old ass players?

[warm snow]

You have to remember that this game still technically tracks 1.0 achievements

[boreal storm]

1.0 stuff, achievements you can’t get anymore, etc etc

[warm snow]

Not to mention the menagerie of old unobtainable achievements

[open coral]

Seasonal and event achievements.

[warm snow]

Rewards themselves haven't gone anywhere

But getting 100% achievements is honestly impossible

[open coral]

You can't get the Eorzean Ninja Warrior title at all anymore

[warm snow]

You'd need every event since 1.0

[cursive ridge]

so am I understanding this correctly - Barrage for Shadowbite just increases its potency, consumes the buff and doesn't do the triple attack?

[warm snow]

Top 100 of your dc for every pvp season

[warm snow]

Yes

Top Saint of the firmament like 5 times, so much other shit

It's not realisric

[cursive ridge]

should i be saving it for sinlge target instead then? seems like it's much more important

[warm snow]

Not really no

!faq shadowbite

[zinc orbit]

Error!

No tag named shadowbite exists, Kupo!

[warm snow]

!action shadowbite

[zinc orbit]

**Shadowbite** : lvl 72 BRD (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 170 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Barrage Potency: 270
Can only be executed when Shadowbite Ready.

Powered by XIVAPI

[warm snow]

That's an extra 100 potency on every enemy you hit

[cursive ridge]

vs. +560 potency on single target, so i guess you would need to hit at least 6 targets on aoe to make it worth it?

it's actually even slightly more, since you're getting a refulgent proc that you wouldn't otherwise

[modest igloo]

!action refulgent arrow

[zinc orbit]

**Refulgent Arrow** : lvl 70 BRD (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 280.
Can only be executed when Straight Shot Ready.

Powered by XIVAPI

[modest igloo]

4 targets mb

[cursive ridge]

how are you getting 3 or 4?

[modest igloo]

270 *4 > 280 * 3

for some reason i forgot refulgent was 280, misremembered it as 210 from straight arrow

[cursive ridge]

i think you're comparing wrong things

you need to compare the parts barrage adds

so that's +100 per target on aoe, and +280 x2 on st

[modest igloo]

from the balance

[warm snow]

1080 > 840

To do the math for you

[warm snow]

3 280 potency hits vs 4(or more) 270 potency hits

[cursive ridge]

my point though is that you dont get shadowbite proc from barrage

[warm snow]

That was never your point

[cursive ridge]

no that's still the point

[warm snow]

Your point was whether or not it's better to keep barrage for solo at all times

[cursive ridge]

barrage adds 100 on the proc you already have

[warm snow]

If you're in aoe you can just weave barrage when you get a shadowbite proc

Ez

[warm snow]

Yes so (170 + 100) x 4 targets is greater than 280 x 3 hits

On outputs 1080 potency total, spread across 4 targets, the other outputs 840 potency on one target

Plus you still get a refulgent afterwards you can use

[cursive ridge]

you would have gotten 170 potency otherwise out of that proc

[warm snow]

Imo, shadowbite should work off straight shot ready but that's besides the point

[warm snow]

And?

The math outright says you do more damage if you use barrage on shadowbite if there's 4 or more enemies.

[cursive ridge]

when comparing single button versus single button

[warm snow]

If you want to use it on refulgent there go ahead, but it's outright less dps

[cursive ridge]

i'm comparing the points at which you are using Barrage

[warm snow]

You're only gonna use barrage on shadowbite in dungeons 99% of the time

You're really overanalysing this

[cursive ridge]

ahhh i know how they got 4 targets

i didnt account for the "Straight arrow ready" proc you get from barrage too

shadowbite doesnt consume it

[warm snow]

That has nothing to do with it

It's 4 targets cuz 3 x 270 is less than 3 x 280

So a buffed shadowbite does 30 less total potency across 3 targets than a triple refulgent

But once there's 4 or more the total damage is higher

[cursive ridge]

it's (2 x 280) < ((4 x 100) + 280)

math checks out

[warm snow]

Wtf no

It's got nothing to do with the extra straight shot

It's 270 x 4 > 280 x 3

You have to account for the base potency when multiples are involved

Cuz that's getting multiplied too

[cursive ridge]

my last point was wrong

[mellow mountain]

if i use a fantasia do i have the option to cancel

and not change

[limber hound]

It won't be consumed until you make the change

or rather the option will remain there

[warm snow]

It's not "used up" til you confirm the changes on the character select screen

The in game item is still consumed so its not taking up inventory space

[mellow mountain]

so if i cancel the changes i would get it back

[warm snow]

Yes

[mellow mountain]

nice

ty

[warm snow]

You get a warning prompt before you lock in your changes

[flat aspen]

does receiving ast cards affect my parse rankings?

[modest igloo]

For adps yes

[faint flare]

Not your rdps

[modest igloo]

Rdps no

[faint flare]

ADPS yes

!faq fflogsdps

[zinc orbit]

What is the difference between nDPS, rDPS, pDPS and aDPS on FFLogs?

• neutral DPS (nDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received
• RaidDPS (rDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus the damage from buffs you received plus the damage from buffs you contributed
• Personal DPS (pDPS) is: Your TotalDPS without being adjusted for buffs.
• adjusted DPS (aDPS) is: Your TotalDPS minus single target buffs applied to you (devilment, dragon sight, astro cards, etc)

[faint flare]

Most people look at rdps

[flat aspen]

cool thought so, thanks!

[twilit patrol]

hey guys, which of the raids is good to farm return to ivalice? need for shb relic

[faint flare]

Rabanstre

[leaden ginkgo]

thank

[viscid fossil]

Does this only affects the Squadron? I am asking because other scroll works outside of Squadron like reduce fee for teleportation, more seals, food duration boost.

[faint flare]

It's solo fc buffs

It gives you heat of Battle 3, like your fc does

[viscid fossil]

So can this stack with FC buff + this?

[faint flare]

No

[viscid fossil]

Oh :c

[faint flare]

It overwrites

But Fcs usually only use tier 2

So squadron ones are stronger

[viscid fossil]

Oh nice!

btw there is a bot in the novice network on my world, even getting kicked out. It still auto join back - are there anything can be done with this?

[zinc bramble]

Sounds like a reportable offense to me

[viscid fossil]

Yeah I already reported it

So getting kick from NN does nothing, since it will auto join by itself? Or someone must be inviting it back?

[zinc bramble]

Looks like they can return after thirty minutes

Maybe. That is what the internet says at least.

Looks like customer support is notified of every kicked person and investigates repeated infractions

[craggy tinsel]

Does the FATE category of Challenge Log tick upwards when doing Skirmishes/Critical Engagements in Bozjan southern front and Zadnor?

[zinc bramble]

The internet has no answers. I would guess not but seems like an easy thing to test.

[craggy tinsel]

it's possible that there's another bot that keeps inviting it back

[robust crow]

novice network kicking is quite possibly the shittiest thing about NN

in my server there's a repeat offender who spams expletives and racist/hate words on numerous random accounts

[craggy tinsel]

what the fuck

[robust crow]

you can kick the alt but the dude has some secret mentor that he's using to reinvite other new accounts

reporting them has done nothing

[zinc bramble]

Do the reports specify the repeated invite to investigate the mentor?

[robust crow]

of course they do, this has been going on intermittently over the last several months

[zinc bramble]

It is unfortunately a result of free trial accounts and vpns. Not sure how you can solve it permanently.

[robust crow]

we can't

which is why some people made their own macros to explain why NN is suddenly filled with spam

but free trial being disabled seems to have slowed it for a while

[zinc bramble]

It takes a lot of motivation to buy the game repeatedly to spam expletives.

[craggy tinsel]

Never underestimate an asshat's willingness to be an asshat.

[ember magnet]

these stuff sync your gear up, or just down? And if it's just down, how is it different from the other dungeons, because those also sync my gear down

[faint flare]

Sync is never up

[craggy tinsel]

always down with like two exceptions in the entire game

(Bozja/Zadnor)

[faint flare]

Those put you at a specific ilvl

[craggy tinsel]

which can be up

lol

[faint flare]

As opposed to the highest ilvl of the level range

[craggy tinsel]

right

[ember magnet]

okay i get it

[viscid fossil]

the worst I fear :/

[celest tree]

Is it still possible to get the rathalos gear or is the event gone?

[strange coral]

It's permanent. You can still get it

[celest tree]

Oh that's very nice. What are the requirements for the event if I could ask?

[faint flare]

It's not an event

Lv70 and finish stormblood

follow up

i completely lied there is no following up

[odd knot]

when does the 3 per day squadron training reset?

[twilit arch]

it resets with the gc reset

so whenever the supply and provisioning missions reset in the timers menu

[odd wraith]

For leveling crafting jobs at low levels (like from 42 to 50 in my example, on Weaver), is it more cost efficient to just craft the cheapest item until hitting 50 or do repeatable leves

Until 42 I was basically crafting the easiest craftable thing and only then I noticed there are craft leves

[dusty jungle]

If I don't pick up any unsung armor on P4, does that mean I get more blades per week?

eh, at least I can assemble a limbo glam then

[ornate stratus]

what is the meaning of icon under HQ in MB?

[dusty jungle]

Its probably the icon for High Quality?

[ornate stratus]

oh ok thanks

[sick light]

I may be dumb but, is there a way to keep my credit card registered on the game, without enabling auto biling?

[dusty jungle]

Not afaik, but maybe someone found a way

[sick light]

Dammit, every time I readd my credit card they charge me with a dollar

[fading violet]

Hi this may be a stupid thing. Im on ps5 and over my quest section on right hand side of the screen i've got this spoke/wheel thing thats right in the way

cant find it at all in the hud !

[dusty jungle]

I thought the 1$ thing was supposed to be given back, its just a test

[sick light]

Oh, if it does it surely takes a while, but that might be more on my credit card end

Anyways, thanks

[faint flare]

Your job gauge

Usually at the bottom of the hud editor drop down

Sounds like the elemental gauge for thaumaturge

[dusty jungle]

regardless you got HUD layout under system to move things around

[leaden ginkgo]

hwo do I get blue crafters scrip tokens? I searched it up and whenever I go to the location where an npc should be they arent there

[fading violet]

thanks sorted it

[leaden ginkgo]

When is the lottery system supposed to come out for the houses

[sick light]

I might be wrong, but you need to do this quest, or something related to this

[leaden ginkgo]

i already did the quest, hm, ill keep searchign

yeah i did that one too

[zinc orbit]

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.

[barren granite]

ya must b crazy ninjas

[keen shell]

I've never used PF before, so a couple questions. I want to set up a PF for a slower, full clear of Castrum & Prae vs the normal speedruns. For the objective tab, there's the options Duty Completion, Practice, and Loot - what should I set it to? Idk what people usually expect with those tags. Also, what does the unselect classes button do?

[ripe hound]

Probably getting grabbed by duty finder?

[boreal storm]

You can just Unsync Prae and do it at your own pace

[barren granite]

they had the portal animation wink.

[ripe hound]

Hun

Special must be

[barren granite]

ninjas i tell ya

[strange coral]

You don't have to set an objective. Can leave it blank if none of them apply.

Put what you want in the description

[keen shell]

I'm baby, lvl 50 PLD, so not sure how well I can unsync it

I guess none of them fit too well, so I'll go ahead and just put the details in, thank you!

[warm snow]

Odds are you're not gonna get a party for that

[boreal storm]

Well I’m just gonna tell you, prae and castrum are long enough as is

[warm snow]

People be fucking sick of castrum and prae

So I doubt many would want to do it with the scenic route

[dry bobcat]

Is blm fun

[ripe hound]

Yes

[boreal storm]

Subjective

[dry bobcat]

Do you guys like blm*

[boreal storm]

Subjective

[ripe hound]

Not really

[warm snow]

Blm has the highest skill ceiling in the gamr

[keen shell]

I've got a couple people, and I know it's a long shot, but my first run of them sucked, and I just want one slower run of them for the road

[ripe hound]

I thought BLM is fun but I don’t know what type of content I would want to do it as BLM

[regal pawn]

all of it

[ripe hound]

But yeah, BLM is the type of job that if you don’t spend time with it it’s not fun

I think

As in, learning a fight as BLM takes time

So I feel like BLM is better as a main job

Other than a side job

[craggy tinsel]

where do I start the HW relic process?

[strange coral]

Idyllshire, at Rowena

[heavy wadi]

it's entirely random

[vast ferry]

should i replace medica 1 with medica 2 like with cure 1 and cure 2

[faint flare]

No

Completely different functions

[hidden cypress]

use medica 2 once then if you need more aoe use medica 1

[faint flare]

It's more Regen vs Cure 2 situation

[robust crow]

very rarely do you need more healing after medica 2 though

[tardy silo]

Hello, I've been having issue with the game files, so I decided to fully delete and reinstall the game however game won't start and it gives me window.

I've tried also to start it via the XIVLauncher but still getting same issue.

[robust crow]

you should try to get value out of medica 2's HoT

[hidden cypress]

try to check game integrity through xivlauncher settings

[tardy silo]

it says everything fine

[hidden cypress]

welp idk then

[hidden cypress]

oh its a dx11 error, you gotta reinstall that i think, although i havent done it so im not exactly too sure on how. i think you just download it off google?

off microsofts website

[tardy silo]

oh thanks

[hidden cypress]

dont download from some sketchy place

[quaint dagger]

I see a lot of youtubers/raiders have these at the side of the team bar, what's the exact reason?

[regal pawn]

Rescue target 1-8

So they don't have to target, click rescuez retarget

Some do it for Play as well

[hidden cypress]

works well on rescue, but dont do this for ast cards

[quaint dagger]

Huh, that's actually smart yeah

[hidden cypress]

only macro abilities you seldom use

[barren granite]

wicked, ima set that up for me lil cleric

[quaint dagger]

It's 1 rescue macro for each one or there is one that covers for each member

[river kraken]

I need help

[barren granite]

thats equivelent

[hidden cypress]

im not exactly sure what you mean but they make 8 macros, 1 for each member being
/ac Rescue <(number on party list)>
/micon Rescue

like /ac Rescue <3> would rescue the #3 player on your party list

[heavy wadi]

why would you macro rescue

[strange coral]

7, can't rescue yourself

[hidden cypress]

ye ye

[barren granite]

so dont have to target them can jsut click it

guess like in a pich, it is one less click

[river kraken]

guys i think i made a mistake on my game

[barren granite]

that one is /party 'welp ur all Fukked !!!"

[strange coral]

What is the problem?

[river kraken]

so i was doing relic weapon at bozja

i had like up to the third stage done

and i by mistake did the first quest again

[hidden cypress]

actually i think the count starts from 0, <0> is yourself (#1) and <1> is #2 and so on

[river kraken]

thinking it was a new one

and now my weapon is in the beggining

do i need to do everything again?

[faint flare]

You just now have another copy of it

Can get rid of the additional/new copy

[river kraken]

omg

[strange coral]

Your weapon can't downgrade. You should still have the 3rd stage version, or whatever it was

[river kraken]

it is another copy

tysm

i was almost about to cry

[winged valley]

Why does my friend have question marks

Im in a party

[faint flare]

[barren granite]

[regal pawn]

Throw up a party finder

And specify unrestricted party and remove role lockouts

[barren granite]

or ask your FC if anyone can run them wit ya

[frail zenith]

[regal pawn]

Bad fc

[frail zenith]

[regal pawn]

Free poetics

Bitches love poetics

[barren granite]

and yes, the story is rlly good

[frail zenith]

yeah thats the thing

some people hate others watching cutscenes or just jumps in without waiting

its hard to enjoy it without agreement

[barren granite]

i know...like headpat said in PF you can specify that explicitly

[boreal storm]

They can’t start half of the fights before you’re done with cutscenes

[frail zenith]

i was told to skip just skip during my first attempt in a dungeon lol

[regal pawn]

Don't listen

[boreal storm]

And? They’re not your boss

[hidden cypress]

[regal pawn]

Unless it's tamtara

[frail zenith]

[leaden ginkgo]

anyone know how to get blue crafter scrip tokens?

the npcs dont trade white scrips for them

i lied solved

[eager night]

What is it that I need to get to be able to gather any sort of node?

[faint flare]

The correct gathering job

[eager night]

Isn't there something you need to buy to be able to access certain nodes?

[sleek needle]

Folklore books? Only for specific ones

[eager night]

That is what it is!

[faint flare]

Only nodes that were for endgame

[eager night]

Thank you. I forgot their name for what books. So I didn't know what to google.

[sick light]

Question, is there any chart with the xp that I can get from every dungeon? Kinda need to powerlevel my Palading to keep doing the MSQ with it

Mainly those from late HW, early StB

[faint flare]

No

You just spam.the highest level levelling dungeon

[boreal storm]

Just do the highest leveling dungeon

[oak lily]

Just do highest level one you can

[faint flare]

Ignoring dungeons that give poetic

[sick light]

Noted

[hidden cypress]

leveling dungeon = any dungeon thats level is not 50, 60, 70, 80

[eager night]

If you feel like gambling. You can try to do daily MSQ roulette. If you get PRAE. You get a lot of xp.

Don't forget about food, fc, and other xp buffs.

[sick light]

Oh, I do that anyway

[oak lily]

Castrum isn’t bad either

[sick light]

Oh, another question, is alliance raid roulette worth the time for the xp?

[faint flare]

Yes

[oak lily]

If you get any of the Crystal Tower ones

[faint flare]

It's one of the top 3 roulettes for xp

[hidden cypress]

pro tip: if you dont unlock any other alliance raids, you always get crystal tower

[sick light]

Too late for that now

But thanks, will do

[faint flare]

Or just ilvl cheese it but fuck you if you do that

[hidden cypress]

why

[faint flare]

Defeats the entire point of a roulette

[hidden cypress]

idk if im trying to get fast and easy xp instead of honoring the roulette id do that, never heard of it before but thanks foir the idea i guess

[lost grove]

What's the fastest way to lvl from 12 btn?

[eager night]

Just farm the highest node you can until level 15. Go to the diadem with gathering scroll buff, and food buff. You will skyrocket through xp. Can do the same with miner.

[hidden cypress]

i think just do job quests and gather stuff, especially items you havent gathered before

[blissful tinsel]

Does PotD drop those fancy red weapons?

[faint flare]

You buy them with grips made from the aetherpool from potd

[hidden cypress]

it doesnt drop them, you need to trade your aetherpool (potd gear levels) for grips that you can trade for it

[blissful tinsel]

That's what I meant, lmao, ty

[fathom glacier]

question, this is lorewise, what is Ala Mhigan people, are they middle east or the far east

[hidden cypress]

it takes 9 grips for 1 weapon which is 90/90 level

[sleek needle]

!faq worldmap

[zinc orbit]

Hydaelyn world map translated by Rommy 🌎

[sleek needle]

Eorzea to the west, Ala mhigo at the east part of it

[fathom glacier]

nice, its just they theme of building and such, it makes me think of middle east

[feral nebula]

Do i need some specific quest to pentameld?

Getting this red message, and i have a DoH at 90

[faint flare]

Yes

At mutamix

[feral nebula]

Ok, will take a look

[eager night]

Be warned. When going for pentamelding at end tier stuff. Your chances of over melding are like 17%, then it goes lower. If the meld fails, the materia is lost.

[regal pawn]

Lost 40 IX DHs

[eager night]

I managed to lost 50+ X materia.

It has killed my interest in farming purple scripts cause of it.

[feral nebula]

Yes that i know. I got kinda lucky with it tho (when it was for me)

[regal pawn]

I went for cheapo prog gear so only had like 4 crafted pieces

[feral nebula]

But unlocking it now is for a friend, so am not worried :3

[regal pawn]

Had to pentameld a ring for my bis

[eager night]

I wish there was a way to up chances.

That last meld is 5%

[feral nebula]

https://media.discordapp.net/attachments/922908345675972718/939606789022941255/unknown.png

[eager night]

OH

I thought those were all perfect at first xD I was gonna say. Extreme luck. At least you didn't lose to much materia

[feral nebula]

No no, it was 9/3/1 for one gear.

And 3/2/22 for another gear

[regal pawn]

[eager night]

Now this is more like it x)

[feral nebula]

Exactly the same my friend said

Talking about it even

[autumn needle]

Is Ishgard restoration still worth grinding?

Haven't done much other than mining.

Is it worth starting their and doing all to 60?

[faint flare]

It is

Best way to 80 other than leves

[keen mantle]

I still see people progress their professions in a "vanilla" way. Those people frighten me.

Ish Resto is available for free trial right? Cuz I think it was a Shadowbringer in addition

[faint flare]

Yes

Only needs 3.3 done

[rough steppe]

Am I doing something wrong?

[strange coral]

Equip your hatchet

[ripe hound]

Is it hard to do Ishgard Restoration on free trail?

Or not really?

[regal pawn]

Nah

[ripe hound]

Just need to gather stuff yourself?

[regal pawn]

Ye

[rough steppe]

Ah, didn't realize it was the hatchet.

Thanks.

[calm pecan]

has anyone gotten an error when taking screenshots in game? it always seemed to work and i was trying to take a couple screenshots just a moment ago and i couldnt

[lost grove]

Lvl 70 gathering gear should be fine to 80 right?

[vast ferry]

how do i beat the level 60 scholar quest

[heavy wadi]

Esuna is your friend.

[vast ferry]

from what i understand you lose when someone gets turned into a tonberry but npcs stand in the middle of aoes like a low skill black mage

[heavy wadi]

you're a healer

[faint flare]

and you're a healer

Npcs don't start dodging until stormblood basically

[vast ferry]

so basically i've gotta check every npc bar to make sure they don't get cursed

[regal pawn]

Yup

[vast ferry]

thats so dumb

[boreal storm]

Adjust

[strange coral]

Check in system settings for the location where it's saving the screenshots. If the game doesn't have permission to write to that folder, it won't work. You can change it to another folder.

[faint flare]

That's healer quests for you

[vast ferry]

npcs on party list when

[regal pawn]

One day

[lost grove]

Any answers to my question?

[strange coral]

If it's Landking gear, yes

[lost grove]

Oh someone crafted me brightlien n smilodon gear

[strange coral]

Those might be ok if they're HQ and melded

[calm pecan]

yeah, i changed the folder for screenshots i take now

[lost grove]

It's HQ

[vast ferry]

at least the npcs can deal damage now

is it just me or is dissapation a useless skill

[faint flare]

Just you

It's very good

Free stacks

More stacks = more healing or damage

[vast ferry]

but you lose your free regen for 30 seconds

[faint flare]

Embrace isn't that notice. Just whispering dawn then yeet it

Plus you stacks make up for it

[glossy flare]

damage is very scripted so if there is a phase where you know you won't need the faerie or the faerie skills then use it

[faint flare]

Plus you can dissipate before the trash pack ends

For free stacks

And your fairy will be back before the tank stops

For 6 stacks for the pull

[regal pawn]

Dissipation is very good

[faint flare]

Or just dissipate in downtime

[regal pawn]

The GCD healing boost and free stacks are far more valuable than shitty regen

[vast ferry]

also what damage isn't the damage skill tied to your stacks energy drain or am i missing one

[faint flare]

Yes

[vast ferry]

which is just a worse ruin ii

[faint flare]

More stacks = more damage

[regal pawn]

It's an ogvd

[faint flare]

It's free damage

[regal pawn]

Weave it

With your ruins

For more damag

[faint flare]

The best scholars will know how to get as many energy drains as possible without sacrificing healing

[faint flare]

More under buffs

[regal pawn]

Dissipation pop under buffs is nutty

[faint flare]

Basically almost always done in openers since you don't really need the fairy that early

If you do then you prepull seraph

[vast ferry]

how do i even tell if somethings an ogcd with the tooltip

[faint flare]

Ability

[regal pawn]

Instead of spell or weaponskill

Exceptions exist ofc

[faint flare]

Gcds are weaponskills/spells

[regal pawn]

But they'll say it

[faint flare]

This is an ability gcd

[vast ferry]

i'm still confused with weaving

[faint flare]

!faq weaving

[zinc orbit]

Quick guide to weaving/clipping

Click the image, then 'Open original'

[faint flare]

It's just using off globals while waiting for the gcd to come back

With healers standard nuke spells you have time to weave 1 off global

[half hare]

play a dragoon itl make it alot more understandable

[faint flare]

Due to their short cast time vs the gcd time

[vast ferry]

in that picture it seems like you weave early into the attack

[regal pawn]

Take your ruin 2 for example

It's instant cast

[faint flare]

Cause it uses instant casts to show it

[regal pawn]

You can use abilities before the circle is done spinning

[vast ferry]

not until the que is up tho

[regal pawn]

Yes you can

[vast ferry]

since my ogcd are greyed out

[regal pawn]

Abilities don't care about GCD

[faint flare]

You can use use globals

[regal pawn]

You're casting then

You cannot weave mid-cast

You can weave right after your casted ruin

!action ruin ii

[zinc orbit]

**Ruin II** : lvl 30 ACN SMN (300 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 270.

Powered by XIVAPI

[regal pawn]

You should have this (but instant)

[vast ferry]

oh so an gcd has to be instant to allow weaving

[regal pawn]

No

[faint flare]

No

[robust crow]

you can weave after broil too

[regal pawn]

It just cannot be a full cast

[robust crow]

it's short cast now

[faint flare]

It has to have a shorter cast time than Gcd timer
