can be overmelded
Well. im attempting RDM main, but also have a good interest in SAM
You can
You can meld into all the available slots. Overmelding is putting more materia in than it has slots for, and it's a lot harder.
You just can't meld more then there are slots for tome gear
NPCs can handle normal melding.
whats hard about it
It has a very low percent chance of working.
Only crafted gear can be overmelded
how do you make sure it happens?
last slot to pentameld is 5%
You can just tell it to keep going until you run out of materia or it melds, and if you have enough materia it'll meld before you run out.
If a piece of gear has the Advanced Melding Forbidden tag on it, it can't be overmelded
It's mostly relevant for crafting gear right now, I think.
But overmelding combat gear isn't worth it unless you're doing week 1/2 raiding
any way i can retrace back step where i been ???
the completed section in your journal
yeah but its not helping any how dont worry about it
i will some how find it again thx
What are you looking for?

Okay. In the Completed Quests section of your journal, under the Hildibrand quests, what's the last one?

Do you get full potency from positionals if the boss is a wall?
Yes. If there's no positional aid markers (the smaller triangles in the targeting circle), positionals always hit with full potency.
!faq positional
Basically, look if the forward pointing arrow is inside the circle or not
The ring on the right is an enemy where positional bonuses apply automatically
is there a way to auto select the mobs without clicking on it or using tab
like when i click skill it auto use on nearest mob if the one im targeting is dead
No
oh ok
This is kind of a bizarre question, I know, but in mahjong, am I supposed to be able to see the whole tiles in my hand?
Or is what I have there normal?
They messed up the resolution, then. Lovely. Thank you.
(It doesn't have this issue anywhere else, unless I haven't resized the window correctly. Just mahjong.)
so i noticed my ring i got from EW EX1 has more critical hit than my same ilevel, classical ring, but no tenacity. are those accessories better or do they just have the same total stat spread differently over the different pieces of gear
Everything else look normal? Like when you are in dungeon, and your hotbar is fine?
Yes. Everything else is fine. Just mahjong.
Different substat
Critical, direct hit, determination, tenacity, piety, skill speed, and spell speed
Are substat or secondary stat
if the EX ring has more crit and same ilvl then go with that
Do take note that ilvl/primary stat beats substat
If you have a gear with higher ilvl, then go with that one
It turns out you can rescale the mahjong window so it fits within the game window,k in case anyone else has this problem.
Might try that with the Bozja essence selection window; it had the same issue, I just sort of tried to work around it.
so i get all the accessories it will be the same total as what i already have?
same ilvl yes
By the time you get to stuff where it’s equal in ilvl but different substats it becomes optimization of those substats, depending on what you have, the classical ring might be better than the EX1 ring
Or the EX2 weapon being better
yeah so the EX 1 ring has more crit, which is my meld priority so that’s more optimized?
yes
👍
If you haven’t done it yet, you Better hurry

When desynthing extreme trial weapons for materials, is there any reason to not purchase the paladin weapon over the others (using totems) since it costs less? Does it have a reduced chance or something
it costs less because the shield makes up for the rest
for desynthing specifically though, any reason to get another weapon over it?
You use to be able to do the shield, but they stopped that. So now you buy pld sword
whats the function for retainers to hold gil?
Ventures and selling stuff on the market
RP?, they sell an item and receive the gil until you come and retrieve it?
Also they’re extra inventory
For whoever is capable of amassing more than 999999999 gil
they asked about gil specifically, not retainers in general
is it just like a bank account as savings or something
or do the retainers actually need the gil to do stuff?
It’s your money, take it out whenever you need it
they dont need the gil for anything, afaik
ahhh so its literally just a bank acc? xD
But they won’t get you any money if you’re not selling stuff

Anyone have a good explanation for this game's version of Mahjong? I'm familiar with the standard match-tiles-to-remove one that's built into Windows and the like, but not this.
That’s mahjong solitaire
The mahjong in FFXIV uses the Riichi mahjong rule set
You can kinda compare it to poker/Texas hold’em, in a vague sense.
!faq mahjong
I... have no idea how to play poker either. Thank you for hte link.
It’s a pretty involved game with lots of win conditions and what-ifs to watch out for.
Looks kind of like rummy, in some ways.
one day i will learn ff14 mahjong
At the moment all I'm doing is what the hint system tells me to.
i love poker, used to play casual tournaments
I'm not losing too badly, it looks like.
From what I know of mahjong (not riichi rules tho)
The hint system would guide you toward the safest wincon
Like sure, you'll win, but with not many suits so you won't win big
i have a vague grasp on how it works, but still dont understand all teh win conditions and some other mechanics
The mahjong faq gives a pretty good reading of the rules
And this faq can be used as a cheatsheet for the win conditions
!faq mahjongyaku
Ah yes, i understand completely
Each condition tells you how they work and gives an example :p
If the win condition doesn’t need all 14 pieces, then you use the others to form valid melds to make the hand work.
Like pairs, triplets, or straights
hello! so if i buy a emote in mogstation, it is account wide or 1 character only?
The store page will tell you which of the two it is
But I’m pretty sure all emotes on the store are character-specific
Minions and mounts make up the bulk of the account-wide items
Though those still have character specific items in them
oh ok. the store dont have description about it :(
It does
oh shoot i saw it now. its in the upper part. 😭😅 hahaha thank u
hello, i'm a newbie and just made it to level 90. can anyone direct me to resources(videos, articles) on how to gear up in order to start doing raids?
do the normal mode raids or buy crafted gear if youre impatient
and cap your tomestones weekly
how long u reached lvl 90?
however long it takes you to do the story
like
i finished the last boss
and havent done anything since
not sure if i should buy gear and then do normal pandemonium or if i should gear up some other way
Green gear is the most convenient way
do the normal mode raids or buy crafted gear if youre impatient
and buy radiant gear with astro tomes
You’ll want to Unlock the other level 90 dungeons to get expert roulette as a daily source of tomestones
!faq contentunlock
Ironically enough, FFXIV mahjong is one of the best simulations of the game period; hell, one of the world’s top players practices in it iirc
How long does it take to level up a retainer from 1 to 90?
It’s also free since free trial can play it with no restrictions
Heavily depends on how many quick ventures you can do in a day
But easily over a month depending on how many hours a day you can play
Ah, so a retainer level boost is well worth it then.
I’d definitely say so, just be careful on picking the right class
Since if you try to boost a job you don’t have at 80, you lose out on levels
I would say no, it's not worth it. nothing retainers bring is vital, and all the mats they bring you can already go and get yourself in waaaaaay bigger numbers in waaaaay less time
retainers are there for your quick venture lottery basically
sometimes you get expensive things out of them
the one niche for retainer stuff i can think about is monster drops for heavensward and stormblood
since you cant buy those with bicolor gemstones and the mobs they drop from can be just a small group in one place of the zone

Against a boss with only a magic ranged and a physical ranged DPS, is one person's LB better than the other, or are they basically the same?
physical ranged is SLIGHTLY stronger single target
it doesnt really matter at that point
oh wait
reading wiki it's the other way around?
thought it was like this
Big Shot is the level 1 limit break for Ranged DPS. It hits all targets in a straight line with x0.9 the damage of Skyshard
Skyshard being magic LB1
it doesnt really matter at that point
Alright, thanks
So I used to have 'Treated Crystal Sand' allocated on my DRK's HW weapon. Now it seems to have 'refunded' my sand and I cannot allocate it any more. What's going on?
I have 83 sand, and can put up a stat to 83, but the allocate button remains greyed out..
not entirely, I think 83 is the max I had
You're saying you can only allocate when there's 90? Sorry its been a long while since I worked on this thing
you dont have enough crystal sand and umbrite to put more stats in
can some one help me with the OTP key? I got a new iphone and forgot that the app has an system were you need to do shit to get the app working on a new phone, so can some one help me with this? I real real don't wanna go through the shity website by myself
i would suggest you go through it by yourself. it's not wise to trust your account security into the hands of random strangers
Someone asked me for something similar in a mobile game a few months ago, turned out they just wanted me to log into their shit so my google would sync all my accounts to theirs
I mean I guess your right, with all that phising thingy going on
So I'm pretty new to FFXIV and MMOs in general. Is there a trick to moving out of enemy aoe attacks or just practice? I got hit so many times by Titans landslide attack.
!faq snapshot
!faq battlebasics
lol
do DoTs apply faster now or something?
No
From GCDs to Snapshots -- A breezy look at some concepts and terms you'll make use of regularly in FFXIV but not really taught ingame very well (or at all).
--Gameplay from FFXIV version 5.0 - 5.58
What's inside:
✨ An overview of commonly utilized Battle Basics
✅ Clearing up why they're important to understand and how to make use of them
⭐️ Tip...
this will explain whats going on
but the game runs on snapshots
You need to move before the cast finishes and the aoe vanishes. the moment the orange thing goes, it snapshots. so on ur screen u might already be outside the damage but u still get the damage
thank you
so just move rather quickly as soon as the aoe pops up, you'll get the timing down with time
The good side to this is, you can move into attack animation
oh yeah I get that part, but some i just can't seem to get out of the way quick enough
Sprint
You just need more practice
yeah I was wondering if i should be spamming sprint a bit
You can’t spam sprint
!action sprint
well its on a 60s cooldown
yeah
also it doesnt even que properly
I swear it felt like DoTs used to have a 'lag' after they were cast before they showed up on the enemy, now it seems like its there instantaneously
And in battle it only last for 10 seconds
spamming is probably the wrong word
We still recommend practicing moving out of harm's way with your normal speed
Because mechanics will become more frequent
Remember that unless it is a multi hit attacks, like a flamethrower
You can actually walk into the attack animation
I'm fine with most, just seems like a few I suck at. I'll practice
Without taking hits
For Bards, we used to want to delay things that interacted with dots (like Sidewinder) by at least one server tick to make sure the system had registered them as applied and dealing damage. But now that that kit interaction is removed, it no longer needs to be worried about.
So stay in safe area, see rocks protruding out of the ground, you can just walk it there without walking for the rocks to disappear
(assuming it is a single hit attack)
To do extreme trials alone unsynced as a summoner do I need health potions? And if yes which is better? Max-potion?
never
you dont use hp potions like after level 40
Uh, you shouldn't, no. The ones you can solo you can pretty much delete without needing to worry about it. The ones you can't solo you simply can't solo.
you'd use potions of intellect to boost your DPS some
or just go a job that heals and dps's at the same time
like WAR or GNB
I saw a video of a dude doing rathalos unsynced alone and he used a mega-potion and instantly recovered like 60k hp
thats not a normal potion
thats specific to that trial
That’s the MH potion
yep
Oh
its a duty action
Ohhhhh
It’s the only way you’re able to heal in phase 2
you can only heal with the potion, like in monster hunter
Ok I understand now thanks
how come i cant do Go West, Craftsman? i have done prerequisites

does anyone have a macro for shirk swap but in alliances
i dont wanna murder my healer
it doesn't work for alliance
oh
just turn off tank stance
Leave your tank stance on in alliance
There's usually points where the boss targets top 3 aggro so you need to have it on
Also points with 3 bosses
You can't shirk to another alliances tank
ah
the boss auto target tank for normal stuff
only ex up usually have the enmity priority targeting system, even the cloud deck normal dual attack target both tank
unlike in ex, where he picked up top enmity
wait forreal
Pretty sure this only in trials and raids not alliance

Hey guys, is it possible to server hop for the behemoth fate or are these fates disabled for "visitors"?
you can world visit
is it just a vocal minority complaining about healers not having a more involved dps kit, or do most healer players actually think like that?
I'd say it's more that the kit has been simplified over time compared to HW/SB days
Scholar used to have 4 or 5 different damage over times of varying durations that they could have active at once, which made it pretty complex to do while healing.
so are those a vocal minority or do most healer players want that
feels like a vocal minority at this point.
because i certainly wouldn't want to play something like that
sounds convoluted just for the sake of convolution
Personally, I never liked the DoT juggling aspect of HW/SB WHM/SCH, and trying to do more complex damage kits past "more dots" can make it get in the way of your healing when needed.
That's not even getting into ARR/HW healing to where you had to toggle a buff that allowed you to actually do decent damage at the cost of neutering your heals, as your damage spells back then looked at Intelligence instead of Mind.
There's also the natural side effect of being on the internet, where if you have a few hundred people who agree with the same idea, it sounds like there's way more just because you read it twelve times and you have no connection to those people, and your brain passively interprets that as "well that must mean there's LOADS of them"
People also generally post more about things they don't like than what they do like.
true
if i was a minority in liking one button healers, I'll adapt if the devs listen to feedback, but I'm also worried that the devs listen to a vocal minority (if it is) on getting more involved dps healers

Can gear still be shared within same roles if I glam it into class specific gear. for example can I share my Cryptlurker tank gear with my DRK even if is glam-ed into PLD artifact gear?
yes, but on DRK it will just be the unglammed gear
yes, the glamour just won't be visible
does anyone know the time which the free trial comes back?
tomorrow
cause they said 22nd but where i live that can vary
don't think we got a time
how do i get the lie down emote?

so I bought final fantasy base game and is my max lvl 60 or can I go above (I don't own endwalker)
60
HW only goes up to 60 so you wont get xp after hitting it
yea but on HW
I saw some lvl 60 above quests
those were adding in SHB
quests added in later expansions
like how the quest for unlocking Reapers, a job from Endwalker, is in Ul'dah.
I know, I was giving an example.
Heya guys. Did you get the free 15 days subscription upon transfering to Materia? My sub cut out and it seems I didn't get it. It's my first time transferring DCs so I haven't claimed it before. I did made an alt to lvl 30 on materia
Hey guys, is there any guides that tell you the basics of your rotation and how to play?
I took a look at the balance and their guides are way too high level for a beginner like myself
Ooh thanks, that may be just what I need
anyone?
you dont get it for transferring you needed to make a new character and level it to lvl 30
pretty quick to do with skipping cutscenes
which one is the best to spam for level ?
Castrum
abania
I did made a character and leveled it to 30. I got the 1mil gil bonus. I transfered my main to Materia after that. Do I still not get the 15 days?
Did you get the 15 days before? or would this be your first time?
why not the highest lvl dungeons ?
lv 70 dungeon gives very little exp
level cap dungeons weren't designed around giving experience
ahhh ic
!faq altlvlguide
I did made a new alt on Materia and lvl it to 30. I got the 1mil bonus and I assumed I also got the free 15 days. I transfered my main to Materia for the lvl 80 exp buff. Should I contact support?
when did u get the gil
you should get an email about the free days
check trash/spam just in case it got filtered there
I'll check on that
a few weeks ago. A few days after the server opened up.
also did you make a character on a preferred world before? if yeah you probably have gotten the free days allrdy once before
nope first time.
could it be u misjudged how many days u had and already used up the days
I am thinking about it. Is there a way to view subscription length? Or just the payment history?
cant rly check when they added free days
I dont have the notification email on the added 15 days but I got the home transfer completion email.
only if you had like a recurring payment where the date moves to later or you used timecards were you could see your days left
everyone got those 15 days email?
pretty sure you don't get it from transferring
need to hit 30 on a preferred world, it's different from moving a 30+ character to a preferred world
Yeah. I made an alt on Materia and got the gold reward. Anyone got that notification email about the 15 days?
it takes like a week for it to process
You should, but yeah not instantly cause a lot of people also doing that
also I checked my sub dates and I haven't used the 15 days. Should it be automatically added to my account? Even if the email is delayed? It's already a few weeks since I got my alt to 30.
at this point just ask support
Hey Guys. I have a noob question. You can see where to harvest items and minerals through jobs but is there somewhere in game you can see what items you get from which mobs. like hide etc
I'll try that. Thanks everyone
I’d assume you get the hide of the thing you kill
Which, in retrospect, makes no sense as an answer
nope
yeah. but is there a way to see what you have to kill for something specific. say a ram horn or beastkin blood etc
Reread that question again, out loud, and slowly
How many fantasia do you get through playing the game?
there's no log that list what items drop from what overworld enemies.
only one @celest tree
Unless you skip
yes
Thank you
there's also an account-wide fantasia from the heavensward digital collector's edition
Thanks for the help👐🏾

and heaven-on-high, unlocked by unlocking potd first and then lets you in from lvl 61
Cuz i just unlocked DRK and wanted to level them up quickly
it's probably not any quicker than dungeons, especially for tanks
also you would need to first progress to floor 50 in potd to get to the point where people start to farm it for exp
Darn, okay
it's a fun alternative if you're sick of dungeons
Is this where I ask for help? I gotta do "The Binding Coil of Bahamut - Turn 5" but its old and theres like nobody searching, would anyone be able and willing to run it synched with me?
I dont ever ask for help so this is super outta my comfort zone lmao
You will struggle finding people to run it synched with you, mostly because it is technically Savage difficulty and therefore not in the raid roulette
Guys how much story is it after ramuh to finally begin heavensward? The Quests in between arr and heavensward begin to become realllyyy tedious
u can try a partyfinder or use the datacenter channels
Does doing it unsynched still progress me through the quests? I would be totally fine doing it unsynched I just wanna unlock the robes from the Final Coil of Bahamut raid
You can track yourself on the list here. =)
Yep, unsynched counts for progression and drops loot
SICK
You'd need 1 person at lvl 90 to get you thru im p sure
considering the 200 or 300% Mighty Echo, I bet even a level 60 or 70 could do the first coil
70 for sure
Gotta find 1 person at lvl 90 then
easier than a full 8man group so 
If you're in a free company im sure some ppl might be up to run it with you

how do you get in combat on pull as MNK? just thunderclap in and do white attacks? i kinda want to perfect balance right away but it's only usable in combat
is artisan tool or gear better to craft for desynth to get mastercraft demimateria?
those perfect balances are so counterintuitive :\
definitely not going to be playing monk after leveling it, feels quite awkward

yep, came out a few weeks ago
if you get to lvl 30 you get a million gil for free
is pog
95ms (jp) vs 120ms (oceania) materia has more EN speaking player
if you don't speak japanese i would suggest oceanic
even though you may find communities of people who speak english on jp servers, the japanese-speaking players will not like you much
Might try it outwith free trial first but seem like it's disabled
later tomorrow
it was disabled a few months back bc endwalker was so good we hit record highs
servers couldnt keep up
thankfully its slowed down a LOT and theres no more issues with ques as far as I know

What class is generally best for soloing fates?
blue mage
blue mage for lv <70 stuffs
What about for SHB and EW Zones? Or are they all equal there
MCH/RDM probably
WAR ain't too bad too
those are quite good solo class
MCH has no self-sustain
Thanks 
no need self sustain, you got chocobo
in fates with a dozen mobs you pull at once, chocobo doesn't cut it
so if you want to pull the entire fate, WAR
Ping 153.254.80.103
enter that in your command prompt, not in discord
Bots?
yes
yep
Do I do anything? report them? Or just leave them?
eh in the time you report one, they'll create 5 more
nah they'll get culled in a few weeks
if you're using dalamud plugins, there's a plugin called No Soliciting that removes all ads from the chat
i've yet to see a single one since i installed it
These bots don't advertise, at least I haven't seen it yet
i've seen them advertise before i installed dalamud
they would go to a place, move under the ground and do some gold selling spam in /say chat
167ms average for oceania, will that cause problems
some people from OCE played in EU/NA/JP and could still clear savage/ultimate, but yeah It won't be comfy
I haven't seen much SG people in OCE, but plenty in Kujata/Tonberry
whats tonberry
one of the server in Elemental DC
A world
!status tonberry
but yeah, can't create a character there now
Elemental DC in JP region is where SEA people usually resides
but they rarely communicate english right
They communicate in English yeah, Elemental is the default English speakers server in JP region
but if you want high percentage of English Speakers, yeah pick NA/OCE
will keep that in mind
most if not all EU servers are 99% English
when you do a command and it says it requires a valid pc name, how do you put in a pc name?
Name Sirname
just says "(first name) is not a valid PC name."
what command are you trying to do?
c
is there some sort of a pattern i'm not seeing as to why Eastern La Noscea, Northern Thanalan and South Shroud don't have Atmas associated with them?
when referring to an entity that contains a spacebar, you have to encase it in double quotes. "Some Dude@Spriggan"
oohh ok thanks
…for fun?
I don’t think there is a reason
well now it just says "(first name last name) is not a valid PC name"
you don't need to put a space bar
maybe it just dont work
then i guess that command doesn't need quotes
what commands?
c
What motherboard do you have
what's c command? 🤔
If you plugged them into the PWM dim sockets you can control them from the bios or using software
smh
Requires a placeholder, doesn't work with a name
it's a placeholder
You can use <mo> to mouseover them
what is this use for?
to examine yes..
to examine multiple target without repeating right click/square -> examine?
How long does it take to get the crafter relic and is it still worth it?

I have a quick question, if I buy 6x 60 days game time codes
can I activate them all at once, or only up to 180 days
180 is the cap
hm so the other codes that I cant activate
they cant like expire or somethgi
they will be valid after 180 days still
I always have issues when buying sb with my cards
77.94 as opposed to 89.94 for 180 days
its easier to just buy gametime codes for me
tgeres always some error popping up
and when Icontact them, they say to use crysta, and I cant use crysta in my country
that obly leaves me with gametime codes sadly
Is it possible to solo a Zonureskin Treasure Map (disregarding portals) with only a chocobo to help at Level 90?
ye
WAR can easily do it
tho gliderskin maps are kinda meant for solo treasure stuffs
is it still possible to get the werewolf head hat or is it gone
if its the one im thinking about its just a dungeon drop
ah yeah i see it thanks
hi, is there no group finder channel here? i was trying to find help with mount farming old trial but it looks like theres only fc/static recruitment
Make a PF
what should i use my poetics for if i already got all the ironworks gear for my drg
it was taking so long i was hoping discord would be faster :c but ok ty
You can progress the story
yea trying to progress the story but im capped now hehe
spend them on gear for a second class
or buy some of the random knickknacks like orchestrion rolls or minions
oh yeaa never thought of that
i thinkk my 2nd class has no good accessories
It’s not like getting poetics is hard, you’ll hit cap many times
if you care about heavensward relic weapons then you can dump extra poetics into spare mats for those
eventually when you unlock it
ooo what materials is that?
check the "special arms" tab
ooo okiez thank you!!
you might not have access to some of them if you haven't unlocked the relic questline
Since it requires beating the HW story
Hi so im lvl 73 and just finish the Stormblood story, my iLVL is 390, the question is can i go in to Eureka Anemos solo ?
eureka syncs you down
and while it is possible its quite slow
Did you just unlock Eureka in 2021 and you're a new player or just want to figure out what there is to do in Eureka? Eureka was the first content that involved an instance with up to 144 players, before Bozjan Frontline came out. Eureka is the zone that was used to obtain the Relic weapons for the Stormblood Expansion, and some cool glowy equipm...
down to what lvl, ilvl ?
ilvl 300
but its more than just a sync
its a whole other game practically
i was working for the Anima weapon but got stuck, after googleing i found the Eureka relic and think that im going for that + its iLVL is better
A. shb msq will just give you a better weapon
B. you can work on both
eureka gives a fuckton of poetics
Eureka is also a Huge grind, 2nd worse relic for sure
i need 9000 for the next part of Anima so thats good 😄
i ws able to complete a anima relic and a half while during eureka
which took me about 60 hours to level
from 1-60
not including the relic
FF is a side game atm, my main game is Black Desert, i know what a grind is and FF is a fun game so the grind is chill 🙂
does bdo de-level you if you die and tp back to spawn?
you lose exp if you die and you even can lose your gear, its 0.4% a hour grind and you lose like 3% if you die 😅
Does it also have multiple types of aggro you have to worry about so you don’t get bum rushed by a strong enemy
Tbf to it, eureka was meant to be a callback to old school mmos like ff11
It accomplished that
That goal just happens to suck when compared to modern design
yeah, and I lost 20 million exp dieing and tping back to spawn at lvl 50 there
is very fun
at any rate, arm yourself with info and you'll do fine
Also once you unlock pyros and hydatos, exp kinda becomes irrelevant since you can naked reflect farm
its super difficult to solo but theres other people to help anyways since thats what ya do there
You don't do relics for their ilevel, since they're only semi relevant at the end of the current expansion
Like x.55 of the current expansion
Well, that and the ShB relic specifically is bis for old ultimates
the eureka relic is BiS for eureka once its finished
so dont go to Eureka its to hard just play the MSQ ?
this is what i have so far hehe
i guess only when i reach HW's ill know which to buy
eureka isn't "hard", it's just a complete sidequest that has nothing to do with current gear or story
all but the bottom two
but also buy gear first for alts
You could also just look up the list
you'll need 10 each of those 4 unidentified items per relic, along with like 75 of that umbrite
Eureka, while it gives a good amount of poetics is also A LOT of work and it'll be easier to get poetics through patch content, raids, trials etc first
that alone is probably like 10k poetics right there
6k from the unids and another like 5k from umbrite
ooo okiez!! thank youuu
Eureka is probably the single most grindy content in ff14
eureka is meant to be a endgame thing after msq is done
And I say this as someone going for 10/10/10 sun's in bozja
idk those duels before the lottery system was kinda sus
Is means now tbf
until now the game was to easy most of the time just cinematic and 2min fights and dungeons that are basic so some challenge can be fun XD
hehe yeaps! so far my reaper and sage and dancer has like high ilvl weapon and gear, so using the poetics to buy the accesories
Umbrite and Crystal sand is 60 now
das fair
Present tense
It's not challenging, just grindy
And pretty much all the real hard content is segregated to extreme trials and savage raids
You bought them Ironworks accessories? Ughhh
Although I'm confident in saying bozjan duels would also serve to knock anyone's overconfidence down several pegs
I want more duels

Hey, maybe in criterion dungeons
I’m pretty new to tanking and was wondering if it would be good or bad to add a tank stance on/off switch to Shirk and Provoke?
bad
very bad
if youre in 8 man content just start first 20 seconds with no stance then turn it on
as off tank***
i never turn it on in a full party if someone else is tanking 🤔
Er so if I’m OT do I have my stance on or off while MT is doing their thing?
On
you want MT to get an aggro lead so you have it off for a bit then turn it on to have #2 on aggro list
You turn it on after the opener
You want second in aggro
And toggling stance takes a valuable ogcd space
Okay, thanks! Also totally n00b question here but why do tank swaps take place mid-cast? Is it just because that’s a comfy time when you know the boss won’t be doing anything else? I get that the point is to protect the MT after getting blasted with dmg/vuln, but I don’t understand why the swap has to occur during the cast as opposed to immediately after
Cause they would die to the auto if you do it afterwards
the vlun up is a really fucking big debuff
Literally 1 auto will kill them
And the boss would auto immediately after casting
There's no time to do it after the cast
But if they used their invuln on the tb, wouldn’t that get them through the new few seconds of autos?
you cant always use your invluns for them
esp pld's with its 5 year CD
To get the demon weapons with the cool effect do I just need to do t1z9 extreme or is there also some crafting to do?
there is crafting yes
Glowing primal weapons are always crafted
very basic tho since its just glam
I’ve only played GNB (which omg I’m so slow but just saw they nerfed the potencies on like ALL their skills?!☠️) and I also don’t see how I’m supposed to invuln stuff at the frequency I see in savage fights
that was the stat squish
why wouldn't you want to tank swap during the cast? the boss isn't autoing during the cast so it's pretty much the most opportune time
ignore the 6.0 potencies
There was no potency nerfs
Yeah that’s what I was wondering - if it’s just mostly a convenient time window
Oohhh okay, thanks!
some mechanics also need you to swap during cast time or its guaranteed death
i think i remember that in t12 or t13 maybe
thats why you'll use a lot of defensive cds at once jsut to survive the attack, and THEN you'll have a vlun up debuff for a while after
so the other tank NEEDS to grab the aggro after the first hit
even with an invlun they aint gonna live after
esp LD which just wears off if you heal it
Is it really feasible to pull off invuln on every other tb as GNB?
I don’t know the specifics of other tanks but feel like Superbolide takes forever
!action hollowed ground
a 7 minute cooldown
P1s usually invulns Frail of grace/purgatory
Which you can alternate
And just kitchen sink heavy hand
Warrior can invuln every other doubled impact in p2s, others can't so you'll be sharing the 3rd
what does the sprout with the seed mean?
returner
they played the game a while ago but came back recently
isn't returner the one with the flower tho
yes flower is returner
And if I’m OT and just swapped, am I generally keeping it until the next tb or how will I know if I should pass it back?
Until the next swap
ok thats a new one to me
They're in novice network
depends, communicate with your tank
just know not everything is the same every time, all depends on the raid
you can either have other tank take it back or you can keep it till next swap
you need to understand the mechanics to know what to do
its also fight dependent, ucob for instance you just swap back after the next TB
Who the fuck is stupid to swap back immediately
you used to do that on war since war got DPS buffs for tanking the boss
df
and you didn't want aggro as PLD because old spirits within
Hm the most recent fight I’ve experimented with tanking was Zodiark EX and MT said they’d just handle everything, so wasn’t really sure what my job was there
Well they're stupid as fuck
Ah yes let's completely ignore the other tanks Cooldowns.... SO SMART
there's a tankbuster they have to deal with, how are they gonna handle it all alone lol
there's real tbs the 83 ex? today i learned
is there a capped max success rate for fishing certain fishes? I'm using level 60bis fishing gear and the level 50 fish gets away
pretty sure like the first 2 mechanics is a tankbuster that applies vuln
ah kk
but i guess you could invuln the whole thing if the vuln debuff doesn't last long
Well first up, big fish (green icon) never have a 100% hook rate
It's like a minute
Secondly if you're using patience, read patience
I voked anyway on the tb when I saw the red marker (er is there a name for that?)
Just a buster marker
ahh yeah the green fish, it escaped 3/3 times T_T
Oh, just remembered 1 more dumb question (applicable to all jobs, but looking at GNB builds atm): How do I choose a SkSp tier? Everything always says to pick one that’s good for you, but I guess I don’t really understand how I’m supposed to figure that out? My main jobs just don’t want SkSp at all so I’m clueless
you aren't really going to get to pick an informed sks tier without doing savage
no one gives a shit in EX
but sks tiers in savage are mainly for planning around boss downtime
certain tiers will allow you to pull off one extra GCD before a boss goes untargetable
this means that, if you're hyper optimizing, you might even have a different sks tier for each fight
otherwise just pick whatever sks tier sims the highest
Oof yeah I’ll tackle changing for specific fights later on. But thanks for all the help! It’s been very useful 😁
Yup, I’m probably going to go with the 2.41 and see how I like it and go from there
figured it out ahaha but i have an MSI
its the del key apparently
i need to replace my cpu cooler im using one of those AIO single fan ones
from years ago
on a brand new amd chip
Can a lvl 84 solo lvl 60 extremes?
Depends on the extreme, and the class.
If you're not a tank, you're not surviving Sephirot Ex. It doesn't require an invuln, but he does a thing that hits you twice, and the debuff from the first hit will cause the second hit to delete you if you're not a tank.
Ravana was doable, the rest can be pretty rough at 80
worst case you waste like 5 minutes
Bismarck is fine.
He’s askin about 7 fights
So that’s 35 mins saved by asking
Warrior solos them all at 80
if you can solo one, chances are you can solo most of the others

Don’t be part of a page called “questions and help” if you’re gunna be rude to people asking questions 😉
no one's being rude
???????
just go into the encounter and hit it for 5 seconds
you can tell pretty quick whether it's soloable
You got a terrible view of rude my guy
I’m not a guy
Can you not
I think now is an excellent time for everyone to not
This is why I answered this way. "A level 80" is broad. "Level 60 extremes" is broad.
Can a level 80 Samurai solo Sephirot? No. Can a level 80 Samurai solo Ravana? Yes.
When do we suspect susano will be solod? 7.0?
Never
Never
Not until you can burst down and skip sword entirely
Sword phase makes it impossible
...sure. Maybe in six years lol
Why does that read like a threat hahaha
Assuming the expansions continue in the same pattern of power creep, which ... may not be the case, given that doing so will approach unsustainability.
For example, that assumes that we will be level 120-capped.
susano's inherent design means he can't be solo'd.
For much the same reason, it's highly unlikely that the SoSEx will ever be soloable.
same with tsuku
speaking of entering a dungeon solo, what setting am i looking for to queue up for a dungeon solo?
Unrestricted Party
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting undersized party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
thank u
It’s in the same slot
yea
It is.
But having done IT/troubleshooting before, I'm always impressed by how unnecessarily literal people can be about things like this.
"I see an option for Unrestricted, but no option for Undersized. Did they remove it? Is it no longer possible to enter dungeons solo?"
¯_(ツ)_/¯
lol sorry, i just couldn't find it despite googling at first
it's fine
Well, I mean, you are removing all normal content party restrictions, so
that's... kind of why i had to ask... because im IT too... and i usually google everything myself first
all good, i appreciate the help and was able to find it and solo an extreme for the first time. so thank you guys
Hello. I'm new to ffxiv and I bought the starter pack some days ago. I went to download the game today and after it downloads 1000mb it gives me the error Unable to download patch files [30413][25008][10009]. Does anyone know any way to bypass it?
Already tried it like 6-5 times
I'll try this. Thank you
is Ironwork Gear set worth to make?
i am PLD lvl 53 and i have no other job/class and i do mostly MSQ. i am in post ARR. my ilvl is 71.
at the end/near the end of each base expansion you want to buy the highest ilvl tomestone set you can
thank u thank u
whats the fastest way to level up ?
MSQ
it means you get a bonus for queueing as that role
I wanna do lvling roulette
the exp bonus for adventurer in need is worthless
but at higher levels you get things like materia
The daily bonus is all that really matters
the gil can add up to a lot over time too
where is the daily bonus ?
Right there
Above the In need numbers
It doesn’t show actual amounts because it scales based on the duty, your level etc
Also it’d get really cluttered
Daily bonus
ok thanks
Once a day

what's the command to change pet sizes? I turned summoner pets down to minimum for savage but want them big again for some screenshots
Is there a new event now that valentione’s day is over?
/petsize all small ?
When Aether is congested according to server status, I know that I cannot create a new character, but is it safe to say that I cannot also transfer to a different Aether server due to congestion?
/Petsize all small/medium/large
Congested status blocks transfers
No way into aether
Yeah nah, I tried to transfer within aether a few days ago and it didnt have the option
Sarg -> gilg

I am a level 90sam but it let my retainer be a sam?
buy whatever you want
it's mostly cosmetics in there
fenrir bike is useful when new zones or expansions launch
level or story skips have tangible use
other than that it's all cosmetics
fantasia, outfits, mounts etc
how often do they add new attractions /gates to gold saucer
when skill speed is talked about for in BiS sets, is that just whatever the recast on your skills are? ex: "1.94" directly correlates to a 1.94 second recast?
Some mogstation items are from previous event if you missed them. Which mean if you sub and play during the event. You get them for free.
If I link a glamour plate to a gear set, can I turn off that error that tells me I can't change the glamour if I'm not in a city?
yes
i havent tanked an alliance raid before - how do you decide who's main tank and off tanks? does alliance A's tank mostly main tank?
just wing it and see what tank takes the boss usually lol
ok nice
the guy who sprints fastest an knows you open with a throw then charge
I am a level 90sam but it let my retainer be a sam?
what
IM trying to change my retainer to sam but the game does nto show sam in the options for my retainer
what lv is ur retainer
get it to 50
by means of another class/job?
i got the retainers jurney
.
I literally told you
How to do it
if you use that on a job and change it to sam it will go to 50 i think
thaks
you can share kills with people for things like hunt log right
