RNG
just have to keep trying or ask them to swap instances too
Honestly i have to say my favorite raid set has to be crystal tower. really enjoyed the story
It's the only raid set you did, right?
it's literally the only one you've done
lol
well there are another 3/1/3 raids and 3 Alliance Raids
fuck it, I'll do south bozja then, at least there are people here...
well so far
Somebody hasn’t coiled it up
you shouldn't do bozja at all after unlocking zadnor
I think those arent until stormblood tho
Zadnor is significantly more mettle gain
i'm here for exp not mettle. and when there are only a few people in the damned instance its worthless
What level is the upcoming ultimate? 80?
90, because we’re lvl 90
at that point bozja is for cluster farming or getting your duel achievements
may as well knock out two birds with one stone
It supposed to release on shadowbringer that's why im confused
So whats th enext set of conetnt gonna be? Post EW + more hildibrand?
And others tuff oc
*ofc
by the time you reach the current patch to be able to experience that, it's gonna be the next patch
alliance raid based on The Twelve, rest of Pandemonium
you're literally a world away from current content
pandamonium isn't getting its next wing until 6.2
I mean thats fine. Im in no rush to reach current content
I like to take my time and learn
p1-4 is going to be current content for the next 5ish months
Ive got a lot left and im sure there'll be many more mechanics
Im really excited for SHB
I keep hearing amazing things about it
I liked Heavensward better, personally, but Shadowbringers is definitely good.
yeah everyone favourite expansion would be different lol
IK
My list is
- Shb
2.EW
3.HW
4.Stb
5.ARR
ARR gets a lot of shit but its a good starter pack honestly

what were belts used for before endwalker?
They were accessories
they were never visible
But they didn’t do anything other than give stats, they had no 3d model or anything
And ultimately were just inconvenient and a carry over from 1.0
So they got removed and all belt related descriptions were changed
what do you do with the old belts now?
desynth/gc seals
You can desynthesize or sell them
Sell it for Gil, seals, desynth it
If you’re a collector, they can just be in your retainer inventory forever
Transform the speed belt into speed boots (or whatever they become)
ohh okay
You can also reclaim lost belts from a calamity salvager npc
Exploring the dungeon without enemies and photo shoots yes
Pretty much. Some dungeons also have interactable items that groups generally don't want to stop and look at, and it can be used for that.
Those dungeons you need to join with a class that meets the level requirement but once you’re in you can change to whatever class you want
And ride mounts
You can’t fly but you can ride them
There's a dungeon that's a library, for example, and it has a bunch of books you can read. (That one in particular is all up on the Gamer Escape wiki, because I transcribed it, but once Explorer Mode comes out for Heavensward that'll be another way to look at the books.)
that's cool
how do u lie down like this
It looks like it's the fem!Miqo'te "doze" emote for when they're sitting on the floor.
So, uh, be a fem!Miqo'te, sit on the floor, and /doze.
don't think that's a thing
It’s third party
pretty sure that's a hack/exploit that makes you use the bed doze animation in overworld
you might get banned if you talk about it in game
Ah, that makes sense. I found a video that had it, but they were indeed in bed at the time.
Official policy is that all mods are forbidden; in practice, GMs generally don't care if it's not visible to other players or affecting mechanics (e.g. showing attack AOEs before they'd normally be visible), but it is forbidden and people have been banned in the past.
Anyone know if the cutscenes are pre-rendered or if they're in-engine? I kind of suspect pre-rendered, but I don't know how to check the game files to confirm.
they're in the game engine you can confirm by Looking At The Cutscene
i mean they have your character, they wouldn't pre render every possible combination of character features and gear
...duh. You're right.
There’s only one pre rendered thing I can think of and that’s the flames of truth
In that case, presumably most of the cutscene-only characters do have model data in the game files, you just have to know how to dig it up.
is changing classes the only way to get rid of the warrior aura?
pretty much
as long as you have gauge you have aura

Does excogitation snapshot the protraction 10% healing buff?
Does gunbreaker damage really downhills when the gcd and ogcd is not fully aligned in no mercy 🤔
I don't think that's the question lol
But yes, misaligning your burst from your damage-up skills, and your party's damage-up skills, makes you lose damage.
Why is this triple triad NPC allowed two 5 star cards and two 4 star cards in his hand per round?
Seems a little unfair when I am limited to one of each
If the game is minimised
And someone does a ready check
Will I get notified?
With the game icon glowing on the bottom
you can set it so the game sound will play even while tabbed out, by default that is the only option to get notified
however there is a xivlauncher plugin with the functionality you describe
What’s it called
simpletweaks
it has lots of features besides that one, just gotta look through the list
by the way idk if you got an answer and I'm not sure about it but the balance would probably know if no one gets your question here
if I had to guess I'd hedge a no seeing as it seems to just be in conjunction with the hp increase so it's to scale...?
seeing as it increases their hp by 10% but also your healing by 10%

so i assume all the symbols must be lit up in order to complete this step?
Get to work

This is anima yes? Go run A9S unsycned 21x with a group of 4+ lvl90
Should took less than an hour :D
Thats the fastest one. Each run took 2 min including loading time
Damn your A9S on bonus?
A9S u mean Alexander eyes of creator savage right?
Finish it before next hour since bonus is changed hourly (or 2hourly i forgot)
You cant
oh
You only know it when you get double of what you supposed to get
!faq balance
Hello, is there a specific dancer emote at this point in the vid or is it just part of their skillset? Ty.
https://youtu.be/gOAUemiJ2Ic?t=1033
HUGE SPOILERS in the intro but basically over the whole video.
Nonetheless, I hope you guys enjoy the masterpiece, which is the Shadowbringers Soundtrack,
together with all stages of the ShB Relic Weapon.
"In monochrome melodies
Our tears are painted in red
(Bleeding to the edge)
Deep inside we're nothing more
Than scions and sinners
In the ra...
That could be Improvisation or whatever it's called with the skill effects removed
Either that or it's vpose or something
But looks like Improv
Ah thanks!
Desperius is known to use mods for these types of videos such as pictures with impossible glams etc
People tracked it a long ass fucking time ago when the content was relevant but it's been 5ish years since then
is Death's Design a selfish buff? only your own counts, so can't have a reaper buff bitch?
What am I missing? Why cant I add int?
can't meld main stats anymore
int materia is outdated
oh :/
only can meld substats
well ty
Lmao int materia
Bruh you fucking old
Where did you even get that+
!item intelligence materia v
weirdly some still on sale on market board lol
but yeah I have no idea how to get them
all I know are they are outdated 👀
It's still in game, cuz they don't want to have to clear people's inventory, but it's literally useless
how do i gather previous expac treasure maps? e.g. gazelleskin
same with the current, just find their node and gather
do i need a special skill for that?
nope, just find the right node and it appears randomly
And you can only gather one map every 18 hours
lol found it on MB. didnt know it was worthless. good thing it was cheap....
What materia would ya'll advise to put on some rdm gear, then?
crit, dh?
Anything red
Honestly don't worry about materia til endgame
Since syncing ignores it anyways
Normally I wouldnt but I've got hundreds of the things from quests that I've built up in my inv and need rid of
Was afraid of that xD I hate the selling system in this game
How come player search isn't finding the guy who keeps sending me FC invites? I'm sure of the name, it's right there in the chatlog.
Yes.
Each RPR's Death Design is a separate debuff that works only for the one who applied it.
i see 😂
How are you searching their name? The search system is really stupid and will only recognize first name OR last name, but not both at the same time.
I've tried both partial and full first and second names, seperately. They wouldn't fit in 15 characters together anyway.
they also need to be currently online and iirc also on your world
And not in a dungeon or other instance.
I assume that if they're sending him FC invites they're both on his world and online.
they could be worldhopping
You can't send cross-world FC invites.
Which wall?
NO the quest "over the wall"
Did you go to the place the quest told you to?
Yeah lol
That's going to be the case for a lot of quests.
Always look for an MSQ icon somewhere near you when that happens.
It will never be far away.
No but like, you should have been able to physically see a quest marker in your avatar's general vicinity.
On the guard.
That's correct, quest markers do not appear over the heads of people who let you inside areas if interacting with that NPC isn't an actual step.

Bit weird design, but you're going to need to get used to it because it will happen quite often.
I have 50,000 GC seals. How do I use these to increase my FC’s rank?
spend them on GC gear to turn back into seals, if that works.
do i have to upgrade the pyro relic weapon as well? if i want to only unlock the +2 armor?
you need to fully complete the Pyros step, yes.
Have to finish pyros steps to start pagos steps
Gotta finish those to unlock the base armor before you can start +1 then 2
How can I make quick gil?
i have, im into endwalker now and have barely any
And there's no easy way to do that cuz then everyone would do it
!faq gilguide
Huh? So buy gear from the GC and then sell them back again? That contributes to the FC’s GC ranking?
earning GC seals in general, yes
Also EXP
Basically just playing the game helps slowly rank up the FC and earn FC credits
Got to a boss fight in msq but need lvl 335 gear for it, where can I buy some?
buy scaevan gear in Rhalgr's Reach or Kugane from the tomestone vendors
Ok, thankyou
Is the free trial still only 30 days or is it unlimited play time?
free trial is unlimited
30 days free is from buying starter/complete edition
and is not the trial
What's the best way to level an alt job? Like, do I just go do leves, fates, and side quests in level-appropriate areas for that job?
!faq altlvlguide
oh damn, cheers
Does Damage dealt% increase healing done for healers? As Astro I've rolled cards that I cant find an use due to party comp (like only melee dps and 0 ranged) so was wondering if damage dealt% can increase the healing you do since in some occassions i wish i healed more and the rng to proc guaranteed-crit on benefic 2 is troublesome
only damage
The buff would explicitly state if it would increase healing
!faq healingup
There's two notable types of healing up buffs in the game. The most common for healers to have is written as 'increases healing magic potency.' Skills with this phrasing buff the outgoing healing done from GCD heals only by the person(s) with this buff applied, and it does not affect oGCD heals.
Healer actions with this effect:
• Neutral Sect (AST)
• Fey / Seraphic Illumination (SCH | applies to the whole party)
• Dissipation (SCH)
• Temperance (WHM)
• Zoe (SGE)
The other type is written as 'HP recovery via healing actions.' Skills with this phrasing increase the amount of incoming heals on the target with this buff and the increase is applied to ALL heals, including oGCDs. Many of these skills come from non-healer roles, so it's helpful to know how they function.
Actions with this effect:
• Asylum (WHM | Players must be inside the bubble to receive buff)
• Protraction (SCH)
• Physis II (SGE | AoE buff)
• Krasis (SGE)
• Mantra (MNK | AoE buff)
• Nature's Minne (BRD)
• Thrill of Battle (WAR)
• Magick Barrier (RDM | AoE buff)
Ah aight, ty
giving yourself a card in absence of a better option is not bad though
you dealing more dmg is still more dmg
yeah, giving the card to the wrong role is rarely better than giving it to yourself/the tank if they're the right role
since the person with the wrong card would basically need to do double the damage of someone with the right card
yeah makes sense
do DUELS scale you to same/similar level?
its just they dont last long enough so the choice is hard
like bozjan duels or pvp?
pvp
even in wolves den uninstanced duels?
yep
does smn deal less dmg than rdm now?
on average from the same level of player, yes
so on both rdps and adps? sad :c
smn has a lot more uptime overall thanks to low casts and no need for melee outside of ifirt
so its now an honerary member of the phys ranged crew
thank you! that really spotted on what i was wondering hahaha
ahhh gotcha, thank you 😄

!faq meta
All tanks have roughly similar mitigation tools with the exception of their 25second/tbn/shelltron, right?
so I've heard they're removing the feast in 6.1, what happens to the Hellhound weapons? will they be gone?
paladin gets an extra party mit in exchange for one personal mit
drk gets dark mind for magical attacks ig
das about it
we'll know more on friday in the next live letter most likely
Then why are so many DRK whining so loud? I've never had problems in ShB and EW dungeons with my DRK friend as Sage.
mit isnt the same as sustain
all of them have good mit for high end raids
but drk gets a lot less sustain compared to the other tanks
also tbn is kinda bleh for trash
needs to be paried with a mit to be as good as those
Yeah sure it's not "I'll bore my healer to death" WAR but we never had problems with any W2W pulls
if people are bad they will complain, dont you worry
:l
well it depends
cause funnily enough 
No it really doesnt
Drk objectively has a lot less sustain
Only had 2 abilities with sustain
its mostly just people being bad at healing in dungeons and complaining
but the 2 it has are fairly stronk
1-2-3 and abyssal right?
looking at logs, it's pretty stronk
That's it
its great in raids
You don't seem to understand what sustain is
are there even logs for dungeons?
yes
Is their aoe 1-2-3 giving them sustain or their aoe mana spender?
Lmao neither
Only an aoe ogcd and one step of its single target combo restore any of drks hp
Compared to everyone else who has some for of regen via cooldown for example
they cant use abyssal in ST and cant use 1-2-3 in aoe
They don't get something like aurora?
PLD doesn't get sustain on its combo but does get heals during magic
so you only get 1 or the other
Nope
morning
!action the blackest night
Creates a barrier around target that absorbs damage totaling 25% of target's maximum HP.
Duration: 7s
Grants Dark Arts when barrier is completely absorbed.
Dark Arts Effect: Consume Dark Arts instead of MP to execute Edge of Shadow or Flood of Shadow
all you need, bb
which server is good for newbies?
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

fuck too slow
🐌
saw that
That's still not sustain, just mitigation

at any rate
tbn is still bussin but its only as good for trash when paired with other mit
do AOEs (e.g. Medica, Holy) need line of sight to be able to hit a target?
No
thank you!
Holy, for instance, is nearby
Doesn't matter if you can see them; if you're too far away, it will do jack
8 yalm radius
!action Holy
or is there a difference?
to all nearby enemies.
The aoe is centered on you
Yes
ye, some abilites like earthly star hit everything in is radius
!action earthly star
wait, so holy isn't AOE?
Deploys an Earthly Star in the designated area and grants the effect of Earthly Dominance.
Duration: 10s
Executing Stellar Detonation while under the effect of Earthly Dominance creates a Stellar Burst dealing unaspected damage with a potency of 205 to all nearby enemies. Also restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 540
After 10s, Earthly Dominance effect is changed to Giant Dominance.
Duration: 10s
Waiting 10s or executing Stellar Detonation while under the effect of Giant Dominance creates a Stellar Explosion dealing unaspected damage with a potency of 310 to all nearby enemies. Also restores own HP and the HP of all nearby party members.
Cure Potency: 720
ah okay
yeah it's a point blank* aoe
oh, and does height factor into the 8 yalms or whatever distance?
no
You’re never gonna be fighting things at different altitudes than you
I was thinking of the walkways in the main scenario roulette
height is fairly generous, ive never seen it not hit something that is a few meters above or below
not sure if its a proper sphere, or a cylinder thou
oh alright
the hitbox that is
thanks everyone!
They're potentially going bye bye next patch anyways

Hello, When do diminishing returns kick in for aetherpool gain ? I want to farm heaven on high 21-30 for both levels and weapon however unsure how high to let my pool go.
Clearing 30 will guarantee a level regardless
But upgrades from chests will be reduced when aetherpool is synced
So its 1:1 level to pool basically for from chests ?
If aetherpool isn't synced it can go up 1-3 levels from chests
Thankyou
did alpinaud's va change between ARR and HS?
Yes
Everyone's did
All of the EN voices changed.
but why. i dont like it >_<
Several reasons
Cause the arr ones were shit and they didn't renew the contract
aww
They actually had some A-List VAs.
But the direction was awful.
See Minfilia and her, "Nooo...." of shock.

Are ARR relics easier to get now or ?
The difficulty hasn't changed for awhile
You can still easily unsync stuff and books are still ass
Like i said in lorespoilers
They havent been touched sine the nerfs in Heavensward
Theyre as easy now as theyre ever going to be
Ah I see tyvm
Sorry just saw that rn, was meant to post it here so I deleted my msg xD;
I guess I'll just not do ARR...its a real pain

i'm confused about helping horn; it says i need all classes 27, does that mean literally every class or just the ones i've started levelling?
What’s that?
You never need all classes levelled
Unless you want the Amaro mount, in which case you need every combat class except Rpr and Sge at 80
Helping Horn is a level 26 MSQ. The only requirement for it is that you be using a (minimum) level 26 Disciple of War or Disciple of Magic class.
It doesn't say anything about "all classes" anywhere.
It means any job to 27
ohhhh so any job, not all jobs. got it thanks!
Yeah
That's... really weird wording. I'd submit that screenshot with the context on the forums.
That's something they can go through and fix on a minor bugs sweep.
this probably
Thank you very much!
missed the category 👀
Ohh I see thanks! However is that the lowrst GPU we can use for 4k?
But this basically kills 1440p max right?
also probably #technology-discussion if you have more specific question
should give you 4k 60 fps, but yeah that's the minimum
Define "easier"
In terms of less rng and grind
the earlier the expansion, the easier it is
No
Heavensward is considered the easiest due to it being mainly poetics
yeah, if grindy is your category HW is the easiest, cause you just spend the overflown poetics to this, after you accumulated the 15kish poetics, it will take the least effort to get the weapon done
What's after HW then
HW > shb > arr >= sb
You have to level in eureka
Which takes abit
But after that getting relics isn't that bad
It's just the initial levelling really
Eureka is extremely grindy since you can only level by killing mobs there.
So it's tedious.
Well eureka can go fast or slower depending on how many people are actually in there
True
If eureka instances are dead then it's a giant pain to do stuff
If you can get a group to go in with, you can go around doing NMs and FATEs once you hit a high enough elemental level to get to them.
whats the umbrite and the unidentified relic for?
Heavensward relic
Eureka will be getting a nerf in 6.1* to make Relics soloable
and like 75 umbrite or something?
- Yoshi-P back before 6.0
Is this confirmed?
Yoshida did mention it offhandedly that it was planned for 6.1
Oh. Did they say any details?
It's already soloable, with a WAR 👀
Only thing they could really do it like increase echo further or reduce mobs needed to spawn stuff
Anemos is too
raw intuition is like self nascent flash (lv 56 skills)
But farming Light in Pagos and mats in Hydatos is not really friendly
Usual Stuff for nerfs tbh
Increase Light Gain per enemy
Nerf mats needed
Make mats buyable in case you don't have an instance to do fates
etc etc
👍
If anything, expect it to get nerfed in 6.2 with the new Relic Introduction
Cause they'll be working on Relic nerfs anyway for Bozja by that point
so Eureka will probably be on the chopping block for that too
When you die? YEs
Synced to 70
after level 6(?) if you rez to a base you'll start loosing EXP
that one
If I'm lv60 ( Which is Eureka max ) and resurrected myself when I died. Will my level decrease?
Yes
They have designed Hydatos around that tho
This is a joke right?
Not really due to reflect farming
I see
There's an island of sprites in the south East of Hyadotos you can just reflect farm
And get the lost xp back in a few mins
^ about 10 minutes of standing in your Undies and reflecting
Just don't fuck up the reflects
How much levels do I lose if I died at 60?
Same with BA right?
If you die and raise at base at anytime
Not that terrible
roughly how many hours of gameplay would you say the MSQ is?
200+
nice, tysm!

Anyone know if there’s a way I can turn off:
- character noises (Ie sounds in battle, attacks, taking damage)
- ambient sounds from a player (Ie: bard playing music, players crafting)
hum for some reason ||Elpis|| shared fates aren't appearing, did I miss something
Have you done a FATE there yet
Did you actually do a fate there
yes I think? although it failed
(The answer is no)
Then you didn’t
ah
=P
Check the volume settings. Bard music is the performance volume setting. Other sounds from other players can be volume changed with /soundeffectsother [0-100] and /soundeffectsparty [0-100] if you want to change party sounds too.
what would you spend your bicolour gemstones on if you've capped on them and brought every available riding map from and orchestrion roll from SHB? I have 2 more endwalker region/zones to max out and already hit the 1k cap
Vouchers, work toward that Wivre mount
I don't think you have access to that vendor until you've cleared Shared FATEs though.
Sell mats for money
hey, its still worth it to do the duty roullete even if i already got my daily rewards? it says it needs tanks and im levelling up my pld so
The adventurer in need bonus usually isn't worth it. The exp is especially tiny.
so if im 40 and do a sastasha the xp i'll get will be less than a lv40 dg?
Yes
Duh

You'll only get the normal sastash exp plus the small AIN exp. The big exp comes from the daily bonus (when getting a low level dungeon).
oh ok

Hello, I'm a lvl 88 Machinist and need to pick up the "Physical DPS Role Quest" titled NO GREATER SPORT - but the quest giver (Lue-Reeq) is nowhere to be found. Can any one help me out?
A) are you sure you haven’t done it already
are you in the middle of an shb quest that instances crystarium
I don't see it on my quest logs
!faq rolequests
What are Role Quests?
Role Quests serve as a replacement for Job-specific quests for Shadowbringers and are split into four categories (Tank, Healer, Physical DPS, and Magical DPS). These are unlocked with the quest 'Warrior of Darkness' at 71 and all start in the Crystarium around x10-11, y15-16.
At least one of these Role Quest series must be entirely completed in order to complete the Shadowbringers story. Completion of these quests, along with having the appropriate Job at 80, is also required to claim job-specific level 80 i430 gear from Grenoldt in The Tempest.
I can't find where I left off!
No need to worry! Here are links that lead to each of the Role Quest series.
Tank Role Quests
Healer Role Quests
Physical DPS Role Quests
Magical DPS Role Quests
Click phys range and look at all thr locations for each step
OK, I've checked a few of them but with no luck
You sure you looked at the completed section for ShB role quests
You beat them
but I need a baublee from the quest line to move forward with an MSQ
Light of Inspiration
"Present Something Inspiring to Grenholdt"
I paid to jump to level 80 and complete the quests but I have nothing to give Grenholdt
tried that bu tit says I need to give him something
ye, the crystal u picked up in a cutscene in the last rolequest
I'm 95% sure you don't 🤔
And the crystal isn't an item so
It might be bugged because of skip. Consider sending a ticket to SE now cuz it usually takes them a few days to respond from my experience and my friends'.
Triple Triad Cards?
damn, now it showed up!!!!
Nice. Enjoy the story :)
no worries thats what this channel is for
Is there a LFG section on this discord?
Make a PF
Basically no
Ahh alrighty thanks
you guys know of a discord where I can find someone to buy leve kits from?
Sometimes you will see people if PF in the none/other tab selling them
You could always make your own PF listing as well with a WTB.
I might just end up doing that instead, but I wonna keep queuing for things, what does WTB mean
Want to buy @restive yarrow
Want to buy
ooooooo i see
This is normal? xD 15 min
Yes
Absolutely
Go do some fates or something
It's like being a DPSer. Heck, I did WHM for the end of shadowbringers MSQ trial (name omitted for spoilers reasons) - and i was seriously queued for over an hour.
*trial
thank you 😄
Weird that you got an hour for healer
im sorry uh, whats the highest IL gear i can aquire being a 85 SAM? 
Considering that shb had a dps/tank
535ish
should i buy the tomestones ones or wait till 90? and get 90ones
il536 mythic beast crafted gear I think or the gear from a story dungeon
so i guess there's no easy way out of this, i'll need to spam dgs 
Tome gear is fine til 89, but use any better gear from dungeons/quests if you can
k then, gonna do that 
Uh sorry not the il536 crafted. thats level 86
But if I see you not using the 89 gear in aitascope I will find and slap you
but yeah, what kat said
what's aitascope
It's free goddamn it
89 dungeon
nice
its free real estate
I mean you can't get it first time through for story, but after that, all the level 89 armor is literally free
Totally didnt just not use the 560 artifact gear cuz I was too lazy to grab it before going in
There literally isn't 89 armor or weapons from the dungeon
i dont even have any
never bothered to do relics etc etc 
and level 90 armor/accesories is 580 but costs around... 250k per set I wanna say
cant we buy with tomestones?
Yeah but that's 570 and the other tomestones are weekly capped
you dont have to get 580 but it will make expert roulette faster at least
540 is the biggest requirement for msq, 580 is the current highest for any piece of content
Anyone have any advice for finishing off the squadron stuff? I've got a rank 3 squadron, 400/400 (120/80/200)- and have all 8 recruits in level ranges from 49 to 54. ffxivsquadron calculator seems to say it can't find an option with six tries for any of level 50 the priority missions, and level 40 missions always some deficit.
Do you just have to overlevel the heck out of this, or am I missing something.
Is there an option to hide/block chat or how is it in the free trial?
I feel like some newbies don't look at chat once lol
which can get really weird when they're tanking
The only place where this absolutely matters are the rank-up missions, so if you've already done your last one and are 1st LT then ... just send them out on missions and don't worry about it.
The trial doesn’t block chat
It just keeps them from using certain ones
You can filter out specific kinds of text in the log settings
guys where can i get a cool ass armor like the one that shows at the intro cinematic for dragoon class? I just reached lvl 30
so you are saying they just fail and fail - but they will get xp, and it doesn't matter that they fail basically. so i should just be picking the one with the highest xp and not worrying.
I guess setting them up when I know they are going to fail /feels wrong/
That's your job gear at 50
i dont care if it's just glamour btw
ohh so i need to get 50 first
And do your job quests
and can i get some cool glamour pieces at lvl 30?
Not really
what lvl should I start looking for glamour?
Unless you buy glamour stuff off the market.for alot of money
Whenever
Any gear is glam
“I like this look”, into the dresser it goes
Keep in mind you can only use a piece of gear for glamour for a class if:
- you can equip it on that class
- it is the same or lower level than the gear you are trying to glamour over

oh i still dont know what is the dresser
also, what do i put here ?
Dresser is where you store shit to make preset glamour plates
You can apply a glamour plate all at once for free
Thornmarch ex dont gives us mount?
no

how dreadful is the palace of the dead grind for the ShB relic materials?
seems like the worst step
good luck getting DR runs in endwalker
Anecdotal, but I leveled MNK from 30 or 60 in potd doing that step. Sometimes I got the item back to back, sometimes I'd go 10 runs without getting one.
RNG is RNG
looks like this is where my shb relic journey ends
What's the button on ps4 controller that brings up the map location of the next msq?
Press the black sensor bar in the middle of the controller like 3 times until it’s over the quest on the right side of the screen, then click down to the description of it and press x
*down on the d-pad
Okay! Thank you!
even in party chat can ppl outside dungeon see the chat people in dungeon type?
No.
Dungeons are instanced content, you are in a separate map location while inside one.
even in party chat right? i mean it's party chat
we see each other maessage even cross world so
curious
the only people who are going to see what is said in party chat, are the people in that party
Unless you’re still in a party with these people
Which most likely isn’t the case with your example
If you mean can there be people inside a dungeon in a party with people outside the dungeon, in which case ... generally no.
yeah that
for example we're in the same party even before enter not from duty finder, we killed boss, some of them got out to wait etc can they see message from ppl who still inside talking
that's what i meant
fairly certain no
aight
How do I connect a controller to the game QwQ ?
does fisher intuition give also a stat boost to get the special fish in the hole?

i know it's often said that machinist is a good job for solo potd, but why not dancer? it's essentially the same thing is it not
It’s big damage is aoe so you’ll aggro more enemies than you want
don't have a dance partner, plus no tech step
Or feathers
feathers? fan dance? it's lvl 30
Right it's 30 now
The max Potd lvl is 60
you do get fan dance 1 and 2 in potd
But
No devilment either
Use a cord or if it's Bluetooth connect to Bluetooth and you should be able to use the controller then. Just go into settings and change anything that feels werid to you
what should i do once i've hit lvl 70 (and beaten stormblood)? im wondering if there is a new tomestone resource or something i should start collecting
Buy scaevan with poetics and continue
It’ll always be poetics for non current expansions
Non-cap gearing is braindeadly streamlined
No point overcomplicating something you'll spend very little time on
What do you guys do with your old current-tier raid gear when you can't use it anymore?
turn it in for GC credits or desynth
I put mine in to retainer storage to desynth at a later patch. You could also use it to gear a combat retainer. I don't know the current breakpoints though, it might be overkill.
so i tested out a bunch of potd floor sets and just blitzing through 1-10 solo seems like the fastest, do shb relic Timeworn Artifacts not care about the level depth? the wiki mentions that it does for HoH on the last step, but for this step there's no mention of that
Can't desythn it, don't think we can turn in for gc seals yet
I wish I had room to store stuff on my retainer like that
Unfortunately my retainers are PLDs
So I can't use RDM stuff on them
oh I just saw blue and didnt read the item description lol.
Guess I'll just keep deleting the items
I've heard higher floors have higher chance of giving the artifact. Haven't tested it myself.
for potd specifically yeah? just worried that there's no explicit mention of that on the wiki
ty for the advice
i'm guessing nobody did potd for that step in shb
how do I do Egi glamour?
/petglamour
Rates for potd drops go up 101+, guaranteed 151+
Under 100 the rates aren't that great
dang, higher floors take a loooot more time though
Lv50 in the arcanist guild
For the last few MSQ for endwalker, what gear do they give you?
The AF gear?
None after the AF gear vendor is unlocked iirc, since that's free gear

Ok
the dungeons after only give accessories
I'm which patch are we getting more master books?
6.2
Just a question, but what's the best gaming laptop out there atm? Pref QHD upwards. Tired of my fhd display
The #technology-discussion channel would be a better place to ask.
Ah didn't see that thx
can i queue for leveling while inside ng+
what is the equip level for Ultimate Weapons? is it level 1? or do they have actually good stats for their tier
they're same ilvl as the savage weapons of the tier they released in
with an extra meld slot
which effectively makes them BiS for that tier
does anyone know what we can do when the housing message book is full? are we able to just store the full one and put a new one out for people to write on? or do we HAVE to delete old entries to make space if we really need space?
Is there a specific time number to wait for grand company turnins to update?
No like
It tells the reset time in the timer menu
and does so at that time every day
I was 50, but i just hit 70 by delivering stuff, yet it still shows me the lvl 50 thingy
When does that "update" to lvl 70
tomorrow
The next day
Im not talking about reseting them, but updating them to the level i am currently
Ah thats a yikes
You've already got your requests for the day
I thought it'd be same day
Again
it should be recalculating at the daily reset
Look at the timer menu
but you still get the same experience regardless what it's asking for
I didnt knew it just updates at the reset. Thats what i was asking
Whenever the GC stuff resets is when it "checks" to see what lvl of items to request
Hey, I can't remember if this was here or in the beginner-lounge, but I think I recall someone showing a way to make the MP bars smaller on the party list, while the HP bars larger and easier to track. Or maybe made JUST the HP bars bigger. But the idea is to make it easier for healers to keep an eye on everyone's health in the chaos of battle, especially if you're new. Can anyone tell me how to do that?
is changing chocobo's color permanent?
Okay. Thanks renaulte and kaelwryn 
no, you can change your chocobo's colour again
You have to go through the food process again
If i changed to ice blue, will it be permanent or it is a time ranged?
.
it'll be ice blue until you decide to feed it colour food again
ahhh okie thanks!
Regular fates are on no real timer
If I don't have a fixed party and plan to level a dps from 80-90 is bozja more efficient or should I still dungeon spam?
If que times are longer than 15mins then bojza is better
Ty
Also trusts exist
I don't THINK I imagined being able to shrink the MP bar on the party lists... anybody have any idea what I'm talking about?
I've tried searching back through Q&A and Beginner-Lounge and I'm not finding it.
You cant edit the party list outside of changing how many buffs can show
And resizing the whole thing
Dangit. I was almost sure I saw a screenshot.
probably saw someone using a mod
the only way to adjust party list would be with one
Ahh. Would that automatically violate TOS?
Drat. If I am correctly remembering this Discord as the place I saw it in, that might explain not being able to find it then.
Eee, but I was telling my sister about it and she was keenly interested to know of a non-TOS breaking way to do it if that's what I'd seen. She streams on Twitch.
I'll pass on the info and let her make her own risk assessment. 🙂 She is a family friendly streamer and tends to stick with TOS, esp for broadcast. Thanks for letting me know!

quick q, liveletter in 12 or 36 hours?
!ll

On Friday
36
ok ty
Gil wise, which roulettes should I prioritize?
Just any you can get adventurer in need bonus for
Noted
is there a bot for liveletter countdown?
!ll
It's that command when it's updated
oh cool thanks
not rly
Dpsing on the move
It does 10 less damage, and the instant cast isnt really useful since i can just cast a regular Ruin when im standing still
And double weaving skills
If it was ogcd yeah but meh
Whats that
While you're moving
130 dmg while moving >>>>>> 0 damage while moving
Tru
Using off globals while waiting for the gcd to come back
Extremely core part of any job
Sounds confusing as hell
But ill read it thanks
Also
I feel like i dont heal much
Im lvl 39
Is there any voice chat in game?
You will later
No
You don’t have all your tools so like
Your fairy is basically a constant regen for free
Thank you
Also you’re a shield healer
And you have whispering dawn for free healing
Yeah i noticed that was great
White mage gets no free healing until 50+
I should use more Adoloqium or Physic?
Adlo
Hm
Okay
That resolves all my doubs for the moment ty
Weaving is like
When you are DRG
And you use jumps
Yes
In between skills
That's weaving
Aaaaaah ok ok
All jobs do this
Using two off globals is double weaving
I main drg so im used to it
Then geirksgol and life surge
Still a double weave
Again, weaving is a core part of the game and vital to literally any job
Mirage dive won't eat your life surge
Yeah i get what you mean
It is just a double weave trying to pack as many stuff as possible in a short buff window
Use geirkskogl or whatever and life surge to then use full trust when it comes off cd
On healers, due to the 1.5s cast time on their basic nukes you can weave 1 ogcd everytime
All healers get it at 45
Well at least im close
Welcome to the healer life
Im used to holy spam
You have like 5 attacks

Good good
Im not enjoying it as much as i did whm
But imma give it a fair share
Till 50 or so
To see if i like it better
Sch gets good 60+
Especially after getting Excog at 62
Don't make a habit of using that
Just huton and hide
Once you're in hw keeping huton up is cake
Well after armour crush it's easy
Hurajin is only if you die or drop it for some reason
Question about ultimate does BiS it's a must for TEA?
we're not at the point where gear is outscaled by the sync
Which was bis at the time of teas release
so going in with the what the balance lists as BiS is going to be ideal, but you don't have to
Yup i reached 60
And it won't save your ass from fucking up mechanics
It just let's you squeeze out a tiny bit of extra dps
If you plan on doing dsu in 6.11 you'll need current bis
And to clear p4s
yeah ok just want to be sure for older ultimate thank you
I would give it another gear tier to outscale the sync
I have this for relics if you want that but yeah we really don't know the gear cap atm for tea
Uwu is fucking stupid atm
Ifrit dash skipping
uwu
i have a question about the overall story, but no spoilers. can i ask in here? its just about ARR
Go ahead
sorry for the copy paste: Is it true that I have to replay ARR + Post-ARR to understand the story? my friend told me a year ago not to bother with it and bought me a skip. now apparently its important in future packs...? do I really have to replay 50 hours of content? theyre hounding me and telling me that its SO important for understanding future cutscenes... but im feeling burnt out already, even though I just came back from a break. Does anyone have any advice?
I would play it
Just watch a cutscene compilation or something
But if it already bought you the skip...
If you're feeling burnt out then
ahh I see. I know I should but its so hard to remember stuff like that for me. people are telling me to do it on an alt, so i might.
like don't make it worse
Watch a summary or something
by replaying
yeah, i just trudged through stormblood to get to SHB and now im being told to go back and im like HUH
Read/watch a story summary or something
okok, thats a good suggestion
i absolutely do not have the time to replay all of ARR haha
Oh i have one last question
but i know lore buffs will gasp and cry if i say i skipped anything
On button press
!faq positional
Does it matter where in the ring i kick
Yeah
Like does it have to be in the arrow to be flank
See image
honestly its w/e. this is an mmo first despite people liking to say its an rpg first, mmo second. play the game how you will enjoy it most
And second, is there any way to know if i did one right
On your character
thank you. i really want to understand the lore, but with my adhd and forgetfulness, its been feeling really daunting lately.
As long as you’re in the ball park you’ll hit em, so don’t worry too much
Mmm ok

What's the best way to get Endtide Aethersand, fishing or spearfishing?
Is it true that you get less XP if a party member dies during a dungeon? Someone in my party was claiming it was, but they had some other stuff just blatantly wrong.
Cool, thanks. It didn't seem right, but I wasn't sure.




im not gonna use it
