if you tell someone in an instance (like telling someone who's in a raid), can they see the message or does the message just not go through at all?
Tells don't work
but linkshells do?
But others do like linkshells etc
hmm, ty
does DC travel would mean we can find different DC on PF?
We don't know
But I'm pretty much positive that's a no
Considering how dc travel will work
See #translations-and-liveletters for screenshot of that
You'll see the PF for the dc you're on
I feel like we are going to need it now that the servers have calm down
can't prog 3rd circle on crystal 😦
Hello! I was curious, are the markets tied to whichever data center you're on? Or the server that you're on?
cause work and adult life
Right. I see that that a new data center will be available in the 6.08 patch. It offers incentives on double exp until level 80 and compensation for apartments and such. It seemed like a good opportunity to me to get my first small house plot. But is it a bad idea due to the markets being "unstable" for a lack of a better word? For reference I'm level 70 and I'm still going through story and my crafters are lagged behind at around level 60.
6.08 already happened
It's Oceania DC, so the biggest incentive would be good ping. If you're in NA I doubt you'll get better ping
You're right sorry! I misread the text on the patcher. Is it still possible to move for the benefits this far along?
OCE is still classed as New
But again ping is important
Right, so to confirm my ping would be worse in an OCE server because I'm NA? I'm not too familiar with those sorts of things.
Much worse
Right, okay thank you very much that makes the decision a lot easier pfft.

You can check for yourself
70ms in NA and 210ms in OCE!!
And that does make sense since the physical distance of the cabling carrying your signal is significantly longer.
To level up my tank/heal fastly... shall I tag every dungeon from an expension? Or just the one at my level?
The highest dungeon, that’s isn’t at lvl cap
I see, thanks ^^
does Divine Benison cause aggro?
I don't think so, its not a heal
great, thanks!
gonna slap it on tanks when they pull
...if I can remember my hotkeys
For slice is right, is there a way to dodge 2 circle aoe pillar collapses on the 4 pillar one if youre between both? every time ive made it to the last cut, thats where i die
Is that normal when you join a company you can't have access to missions straight away to get company seals? I wanted to have access to the chocobo mount and it seems i have nothing available to do today
Yes
Do the next msq, it'll give you enough
For Coin and country?
omg yes i'm dumb i haven't watched that. thanks a lot ! ^^
what is Anglers Art for?
Anyone else experiencing sound issues? Like, I go into an area and the music doesn’t play until a while has passed. And when I summon my mount, the music doesn’t play either sometimes

Silence when on mount happens for me too sometimes, but only if I summon my mount before ost starts. If I summon it after the music started everything is fine
So hey, I keep seeing people being able to hide the names of who they're targeting. How do they do it?
That’s part of my issue. The OST doesn’t start when I enter an area sometimes. It when it changes it takes a while for it to come again
I've done most of relics but I have yet to start doing eureka
how bad would it be in comparison to other relics?
is it worth using commercial engineering manuals after level 70 when the xp boost is halved?
It happens to me too, but I think I just got used to it? Enjoying the silence and landscape or something. Though if you find a fix you can let me know haha
Balance claims yes.
thank you
So anyway a little help?
hide the name on the target bar?
nay, you know how when you target something, theres a little arrow beside the big HP bar on screen pointing to the name and HP bar of their target?
You mean this, right?
ohh like hide your target's target?
Yes to both.
I literally JUST had a chat with a lass that had just that.
It uses your "show names on party list" settings, so best is like go down to initials
Iirc
most popular level 50 dungeon?
for what?
Nothing in general just looking for one that one can frequently find players doing...
Just use roulette
no one is just gonna queue random cap dungeons
Yeah nobody’s gonna have an answer for that
Are people actually so talented and willing to put in the work when performing as Bard or does everyone use BMP? I've been wondering about that, because in quicksands there are usually people playing some mozart chopin level stuff and I barely managed to learn twinkle twinkle little star lmao
i would say just select 5 level 50 dungeons at once and queue for all of them
i'd say most people use BMP
I play straight as a bard
Do you translate sheet music manually or do you have any different way of handling it
It took me quite a while to get first few verses of megalovania converted to pc inputs
I just have a tab on my second screen that has the notes
because I can't read sheet music
So you use notes in letters from what I understand, yes?
yes
It's me or... roulette gives less exp for tanks?? Just an impression maybe?
what do you mean?
I know right, but I feel like that I gain more exp as a dps
that's not quite true
the big xp from a roulette is the daily reward
roulette exp is scaled TO your level
once youve done taht
I just did the roulette 50/60/70/80... it's atrocious
you get a larger chunk of exp if you get assigned a dungeon significantly lower than your level
to make up for the lack of exp from the dungeon itself
I know right haha I do them for the dailies 😛
and yeah, x0 dungeon is awful for exp
50/60/70/80 is for.tomes
oh ok
if u want xp, leveling, alli, msq, frontline
Not xp
everything esle is trash
trials is decent exp for the time it takes
frontline? I don't have this one I think
I prefer to use normal raid for astronomy tomes
Frontlines is pvp
but it's acceptable exp too
PvP sounds difficult lmao
It's also just match-completion based, and not performance based.
meh...everyone has their own standards for whats difficult
Frontlines gives as much as leveling with half the Que for DPS at prime time
frontline is just follow your group
and don't go off on your own, get objectives
not really much to it tbh
considering they also trim away half your abilities for pvp
it's honestly pretty braindead on most classes
healers take some effort I guess cuz you get focused by literally everything
everyone else is just "lol press buttons"
pvp healing has always been rough in any game lol
especially dragoon, press every fucking button you have and either they die or you die
Healing in frontline is really fucking hard
I played some whm and ast in front line and:
- No one wanna heal whatsoever
- Everyone is always in Narnia to get healed cuz the damn dev keep jumping in and never run back in
- The moment people see a whm they went ham on them
yea it doesn't help that literally everyone and their mother is out for your blood
On top of that people refuse to push objective or keep chasing. And the moment there’s any fighting people run and left the healers behind to be Holmgang or jump on by drg
There was a run where I got double Holmgang
It was a small group of 2 war and a drg
Can someone give me the servers IP to ping them and check my latency?

Appreciated
My wife isn't seeing "Mowen's Merchant" in Crystalarium, how does she unlock this NPC?
She's done 'The Boutique Always Wins' in Eulmore already
Finish shadowbringers
ffs lol
Well 5.0 specifically
That's what spawns all the blu bag npcs
This was the exact same in stormblood
market prohibited = trade prohibited too?
Not always, but 99% of the time yes
so collectible fishes, can I trade those to other players directly?
I see, make sense since airship stuff is a group project
oh, why doesnt it just say UNTRADEABLE like the other stuff then? xP
because unlike bot/min you can choose to not collect those as collectables
and the none collectable version i believe doesn't immediately bind
but i could be misremembering
fair enough, its confusing but I'll take your word for it lol. Thanks again 🙂

is there any website that shows what gear (such as weapons) actually looks like ingame since the wiki doesnt have many images
eorzea collection
it doesnt have everything
well it has a lot at least
whatever thats good enough thanks
Is there a way to make the HW>SB transition easier in terms of gear?
Shire gear with poetics
Don't really wanna farm tomestones or throw down a ton of gil lol.
poetics is the easiest way
can you still get the gear from the nier event or whatever that was
i only started playing a month ago and i want the blindfold
it's not an event, it's permanent.
oh neat
it's the alliance raid series for shb.
Oh well, let me ask like this, is there an faster way to farm poetics than spamming 60 dungeons then? xD
uh
khloe gives a decent bit i think
do your roulettes
and roulettes
thats how ive been doing it at least
its been enough to sustain leveling 3 classes at once
!faq poetics
Is the transition only there this brutal? you can't buy gear off traders either
until lvl 62
ye but min. ilvl to get entry
You would be effective undergeared and ilvl spoofing
Where is the Quiveron Manse?
premade lvl group so... whatever
So you wanna drag them down then
lol? no we want to get fast into SB dungeons together XD
It's very noticeable difference
Just buy shire
If you're in nq gear
kk, thanks
I need help finding a place
Elaborate
I can't find the Quiveron Manse?
I did that but I still can't find it
Along with the zone, and a nearby zone exit
Thanks, got it
Can you catch multiple collectible fish such as Aapoak? Or are you only allowed to get like one ever?
I don't need the attitude I wasn't sure how to get there
can catch multiple
So you can just stockpile them and turn them in for hundreds of scrips whenever you need some? Or is there a 'catch' to them?
The catch is your inventory space
oh well thats a small price to pay, my inventory gets around like a non-priced damsel.
For savage raids and high end content is invulnerability of tanks very important which is also why dark knight appear less in high end content 🤔
No
It can be, depending on how you want to handle mechanics. But considering DRK/GNB was the standard comp for week 1 prog .... no, Dark Knights do not appear less in high end content.
🤔 Ok
That is not a question anyone not physically at your computer could even hope to begin answering without significantly more surrounding context.
LD isn't an issue in high end cause it's planned
I only know yesterday they were working perfectly fine
Only thing i did was installing the XIV launcher with plugins(haven't installed any) and maybe a bit of clenaing on my SSD but haven't touched the XIV carpet for nothing
Try reconfigured your screenshot folder in the setting..
At least thats what I do when the screenshot suddenly stops working..
DRK damage inside burst is strong enough that they're actually second on the AST priority list for burst cards, over quite a few DPS classes, depending on the window.
Nothing qwq
First in one case, actually
Welp, that's too bad then..
Last time I encountered that error was just ff doesn't recognize my screenshot folder and I had to changed that.. sadly i can't help anymore than that
If it serves something don't know why the direction has one drive on it
Yeah, you should change that immediately. And do a quick google search on how to disable OneDrive while you're at it.
Alright, gonna do it then
Then try to make a folder on your local drive and point the path of your folder to the screenshoot setting.. example: "D:\ff14screenshot"
It might be because your os blocked access to the default folder or the folder just don't exist(like that onedrive)..
Whats the typical "white scrip spenddown" item that people go for?
first is the masterbook, then materias for me
if you are working on HW relics, crystal sand

is it better to lvl up in parties compared to solo? if so how do i find friends?
find an FC and static close to where you live
do some group content together, arrange IRL meetup

eh o_o
Blue scrip tokens are relatively cheap and can be exchanged for crystal sand used in the HW relic
if you're talking about leveling via dungeons, just use dungeon finder, it automatches you with people
ilvl 240 step, 1 crystal sand = 125 white crafter/gatherer's scrips
will save you plenty of poetics
it's 125 white scrips vs 225 poetics
If you have a high level job (70+) I'd suggest soloing the ARR extreme primals
or checking the price of their materials
that's usually a good exchange option
I buy out the cheap ones and farm the expensive ones
Onedrive periodically tries to cloud sync all your files that are in onedrive folders. This causes problems if the game is running and trying to interact with those folders at the same time
Mainly affects taking screenshots and saving HUD settings
yeh disable one drive 👀
Can you change the color of ARR relic weapons? Like the axe glows red, can it be another color?
Crucially, FFXIV actually has its own screenshot folder it normally sends files to. The issue is that because OneDrive by default syncs and copies everything on your computer onto a cloud replica of your system, it automatically overrides and redirects the game's save filepath to its replica one.
Yeah that was it
no
Fuck onedrive
essentially
and at this point, I'm guessing ARR relic weapons are just for the glam? I'm guessing they have been outclassed by new content
Yes and yes
yep 100%
ok i guess that helps me decide which ones to go for. Just pick the one I think looks cool, correct?
yep yep
Yes

Lmao yes
There a different relic for every expansion
Sorry if I could easily find this online, but all I'm finding are the recommended specs for 1080p 60FPS.
Could this PC run FFXIV at 4K? I'm wanting a consistent 60FPS, but 45 - 50FPS would also be acceptable.
The 3060 Ti only has 4gb of vram?
I think that is wrong... but otherwise yeah you should be able to run it on 4k with about 55 fps
#technology-discussion would probably know better
As for whether or not it'll hit that in 2 years might be worth taking into consideration 2
Since min requirements will be changing
Yeah. Speccy's being Speccy. Here's the real stats.
Yeah that's much more like it
im currently halfway through levelling in eureka but what exactly makes the difference between the relic armor and the elemental armor?
Elemental armor glows
they're totally different sets
the anemos set is dyeable job gear
elemental armour is entirely different set and has glow (and is useable on all jobs within that role category)
fully upgraded elemental armour +2 gives you elemental bonus stat which makes you way stronger when within eureka areas
So these sets as armor vs as glamour is it difficult to get multiple?
they're both glamour at this point tbh
unless you're like actively doing eureka repeatedly
its pretty much just a grind for them, same as the relics
Yea thats why i mean it could be useful inside of eureka still
And i would like to help my friends when they get to the point too
Hi, where can I report this?
Thanks
So i assume the relic armor has no higher purpose then unlike the elemental one
I think because too many people are reporting it broke lol?
so just give it a bit
ye
sad
you would have to do a significant amount of hydatos before the elemental armor gets eureka stats
i just got a message from 2 discord accounts named "Acedemy Moderator" that i was selected for a moderator program?
same
is that in any way legit?
you'd basically be farming BA and hydatos for weeks
and the biggest upgrade is going to be upgrading the weapon all the way too
I dont really know what that means yet
which is even more BA
tldr extremely long farm past max level
participate in endgame eureka raid a dozen or more times
So getting the gear itself is less of a grind then?
the i300 vermillion set is good enough for a boost
getting the gear appearance/glow is also a grind
but the grind to make the gear have eureka specific stats takes a lot
I expected the glow is the same as the extra stats?
Oh i see
if you just want the glow then you stop at +1
I guess ill see when i get there
I think i completely forgot about that the relic armor isnt that hard to get
Got some DMs from two accounts both having name moderator, Discord Exam Moderator and Academy Moderator. Remember to not fall for phishing DMs and turn off DMs on all large servers
lol you too? i got one fro "Academy Moderator"
Recommend checking #announcements
As we just talked about
Who in their right mind would even want to become a discord mod
This server was my only mutual with them so figured I would warn everyone too.
Read?! What do you think I am a competent player?
It's almost like we just talked about it
I assure you I am not.
I'm a Roegadyn I can't read
But good call then and maybe I'll learn in the future, thanks!
is reaper a class of fending, striking, or maiming?
Maiming
ty
that's great and all..but can you guys just ban them please?
there's 100s of them, and the mods are getting to it
Do you think they're not?

The mods aren't sitting around doing nothing
well that one has been in the server for some time and i messaged and admin about it, it's still here
just disable dms from people with shared servers for the time being
there haven't been any more like embed attacks though right? i remember there was something once where at least on the mobile client just opening the DM was enough to screw you even if you didn't click on the link
There's thousands of them coming in, we're doing our best to remove it. For now, turn off your DMs and if someone DMs you with a scam link, block and report
I didn't know it was at that scale sheeesh
You're asking like 10 people to ban like 100s of bots each
well goodluck with that mess hope you guys ban them all
thanks, but doubt they'll get all of them

what can i do with tomestone of aphorism when I already have gear better than 570, is there anything worth to do with that?
Sell mats
Mat market has crashed pretty hard on light atm
Well you'll be able to spend them on upgrading classical gear in 6.1
yeah, that'll be to augment crafted gear from 580 to 590, right?
I wanted to use them now cause I've them at 2000 already. I'll sell mats for now. thxs
Noob question: my friend is playing a melee class (lancer) and she notices she has a ton of MP she's not using. Is this normal, or will she eventually unlock spells or something
It's a side effect of being able to have all classes on the same character.
Thanks!! And ahh, that makes sense
when are we getting new gear for crafters? in 6.1?
Yes
will that gear be different for each crafter?
No
will that new gear include tools, or only armor/accesories?
why cant i use ocean bait in limsa
going off of shb, it'll probably only be main hand and armor purple scrip gear that's universal
likely still only have the current crafted accessories/off hand
Because you are not on an ocean fishing voyage.
might have purple off hand as well
i bought every bait type because theres only fresh and salt water baits i can see, and it started working with lugworms, which are the same type of bait as the other 2 i tried
oh, so the new gear in 6.1 is only script gear?
Ocean bait is only for ocean voyages
i see now lugworms dont have the "only used in ocean fishing" thing at the bottom, even though all 3 of the baits describe themselves as ocean bait.
Will the purple script gear from 6.1 be better than crafted pentameld gear we can already have?
er sorry, got my timeline from shb a bit mixed up
6.1 should have new crafted gear
6.2 would be a new set of purple scrip gear
6.3 final set of crafted gear, 6.4 final purple scrip gear
great, thxs. thas very good info i didn't know about
likely won't get new accessories in 6.1 or 6.2
I kinda remember some NPCs from ShB echanged gear for crafters that could be augmented, or obtained via expert recipee or something wird that's not scripts neither crafted (I'm not sure cause I didn't play a lot in ShB), will that happen again, u know in which patch?
6.2 and 6.4 have savage raids, which means there's new crafted combat gear. Therefore, new crafted crafter and gatherer gears are released on 6.1 and 6.3 respectively, so people can work on those, to prep for supplying for savage raids
Crafted combat gear are the best and readily available choice for savage raid in the first week
oh, so people have 1 entire patch for pentamending new crafter gear and be ready
the augmented crafted gear for combat jobs came in the odd patches
so 6.1 will bring augmented classical
oh, I was asking about DoH
doh/dol doesn't have augmented gear
where will be the recipees for the new crafted gear for combat jobs in 6.2 and 6.4? because we only have 1 master book left in this expansion
Iirc, you will get new books in 6.1 which has recipe for 6.1 and later on 6.2 gears
Same deal again in 6.3
Maybe
next master book should be 6.2
Ah
I am definitely fuzzy on how the books worked
All I know is to just grind and grab the books
if a book in 6.2 has gear for using in 6.4, will the book have added recipees when 6.4 drops, or does it have the recipees but they can't be crafted yet because we can't reach yet the minimum stats?
Is there orchestrion roll for the gaunlet?
yes, the recipes are automatically added to your crafting log when 6.4 drops
New recipe added on 6.3 and 6.4
ohhhh, lol
yes
You won't see recipes you couldn't craft until next patch
Ty
That's just mean, and confusing, and filled with potential spoilers

So in Coerthas I have land plots that are going to become available for sale at a later date - do we know when that is?
6.1?
6.1, which is slated for mid april
Alright, cool. Thanks.
Not really thrilled by the continued limit of housing, but there you go.
When the patches with new gear for combat are released (6.2 and 6.4), is there anything I should have before they drop, to have better chance for craft them fast and sell them (besides having best gear for DoH pentamelded)?
Any material I should have a lot? Maybe try to get a lot of the materials I can buy with aphorism? Or maybe have DoL pentamelded too, ready to go and gather stuff the same day when new recipees are added? Or maybe can we know beforehand what gathered stuff will we need?
I guess the lottery system is better.
You won't know anything beforehand
We don’t know what the gear needs until it comes out
What name is the orchestrion called? Cant find it on universails
oh, ok. Then any recomendation u could give me, anything I need to know?
You probably want to cap all your tomestone though before 6.2
Where All Roads Lead Orchestrion Roll
The current weekly capped tomestone will become uncapped by 6.2
And it will be very likely used to trade for materials used for 6.2 recipes
Outside of that, nothing come to mind at the moment
you think it's a must to have my 3 gatherers pentameld before 6.2 to have better chance of getting all materials I need for crafting the new gear? Or that will take too much time and it'd be better buying it in market?
It depends on what you can afford to do, and what your goal is (make Gil or make gear)
If you are poor, you stick with making your gils honestly and with hard work
If you are willing to spend, you can consider buying from others, this way you can reach the "finish line" sooner
is the proffit in day 1 still good if I bought materials instead of getting them, if that makes me craft faster? (I know we don't know, but how has it been in past expansions)
Buying materials instead of gathering them yourself saves time
There's a lot of moving parts here
But the short answer is, yes if you go at this the moment the game is available to play
Is "paintred" considered an emote? I'm trying to use the icon for a macro and it doesn't work.
yes
Another way to profit would be to supply the materials
actually...
It is (probably) less risky
no, i was right its an emote yes
Apparently not.
And yet another way to profit is to offer crafting gear for other players directly at a agreed fee so neither of you two need to deal with the volatile marketboard
What will be better (gear for DoH) the crafted from 6.1 pentameld, or the purple sript from 6.2 ?
And another another way is to offer to gather materials for a crafter, and you two trade directly
Okay, it works now
Again, no need to deal with marketboard
Less risk
But all these requires you to go ask around and making arrangements
And you need to commit and be ready to go at this right as 6.2 is up
yeah, haha, I can't even find people to go with me to clear P3S so I don't think I can find people to preorder crafted gear or mats from me lol
If you want to be less tied down with your Gil making effort, you can still stick with supplying and selling on Marketboard
When 6.2 drops, will the new crafted combat gear be hard to do (crafting manually using rng actions), or will it be easy to put in macro?
Unsure
If I have pentameld crafted gear from 6.1, will I still need purple sript gear from 6.2? or the crafted pentameld will be still better?
It gets macroed eventually
Pentameld crafted will always be the best
yeah, I mostly wanted to know if everyone with pentamelded gear can copy/paste a macro and start crafting all new gear, or if it will still need some skill from the player
On the first day, for the first few hours at least,
It is every person for themselves
If you meet the minimum requirements and have enough CP, it's going to be macroed
You can even design your own macro
It's only a matter of time
haha, great, my time has come lol
It is very volatile and cutthroat
yeah, I see it more like a challenge for me, new stuff for crafting, probably more difficult than what was there already, everyone crafting fast to sell it
You can study up and learn why existing macros are made that way
And use that knowledge to craft new recipe
As said by vinyl, it is all math
yeah, that's a good one, for know I've been self taught and i never used macros, but that way I can learn from what others do
CP efficiency, durability per progress etc
Take note that craftmanship is your lest valuable main stat
For a crafter
Once you meet the minimum requirements, you don't need to meld more
yeah, but anyway, i used bis with best pentameld from balance, so I guess that has already the best stats
Let's say you have a 490 progress recipe, and your Synthesis (uses craftmanship stat) give 100 progress
So you need to do 5 synthesis to finish
Adding additional craftmanship might push it to say 115, but you still need 5 synthesis (4x115 is only 460)
So all the additional craftmanship melds doesn't offer much value in this context
Fair enough
why I got so many other ring slots in my armory chest compared to everything else?
because you have 2 rings per job
and of all the slots, its the one that usually fks people over when swapping jobs so they gave more space to rings and weapons (since more jobs means more weapons)
Something we begged for for ages
yeah, also i guess when new recipees are added in 6.2, maybe the materia in BiS for crafters will change to adjust at what's needed for the new stuff?
i've reached max hearts with m'naago. why can't i glam her
because she's not glamourable
She's a solider, gotta stay in uniform

whats the difference between sync'd and min i lvl?
Min ilvl brings your ilvl even lower than regular sync
so its harder?
is there any point to doing arr beast dailies while levelling through the expansions? other than the minimum to unlock the crafting mat vendors i mean
Lvl Alts
Hello!
Question regarding the upcoming expansion of the trust system.
Will it include Stormblood? Or just ARR?
Just arr for now
They'll slowly update it as patches go
They even showed slides for it in the 10 year live letter
Oh well.
Guess Ill do other stuff, or even go on break till then.
Ive done HW so far, but house schedule has gone so out of whack, I get called for chore almost every 15 min.
Have had to stop dungeon runs in between 5 times so far.
Needless to say, my teamates were pissed :(
Trust will be blessing for this.
Thank you!
That's like a year or so
are there any other uses for allied seals aside from the aetheryte tickets?

its also the main currency for the blue mage vendor too
so some music rolls, cards, and extra minions there
ty, i'll probably just stick with aetheryte tickets since I'm done with blu stuff
theres also some relic stuff in there like the alexandrite and unidentified items but ye tickets are still pretty gucchi
For AST card purposes, does your chocobo count as a melee or tank combatant? Or are they ranged/healer like you? (I only do this when un-partied in the overworld, like soloing FATEs.)
Pretty sure melee
Excellent. That means there's someone to take both.
How do I get to the interdimensional rift once I exit it? I’m trying to continue deltascape
Npc by the giant hole
Ty
How do I take better FFXIV screenshots?
Play with Gpose settings and use shaders
Also, if you keep them low normally, bring your graphics settings up.
Even my computer, which usually runs Standard Laptop graphics, can handle Maximum if I turn up the external fans and don't move around much.
I am trying to join a party in party finder for Castrum Marinum Extreme, which I have in my trial list, but it gives me the error saying that I haven't completed the required duty. Any idea why?
Is it a duty complete party
Ah I see
It's either very well timed or it has been edited using a third party tool
You can edit poses with a 3rd party tool?
There are a few yeah
Because it’s funny
How does one get dyable level 70 artifact gear?
Eureka
doing eureka
Gotcha. Ty
how do i unlock Namazu tribe
I have no idea where to go with this, so shot in the dark:
Does anybody have any experience converting the game's models to Tabletop Simulator minis?
My d&d group voted on their next campaign taking place in the FFXIV universe and I'm not sure where to start. I've seen people edit their characters out of game, so I'm wondering if that's possible with the game's monsters. I think it'd be super cool to have monster miniatures for combat.
@short quarry do you know what file type tts uses
.obj I think.
well if you have a way to convert .fbx to .obj then yeah
you need TexTools
but textools only exports .fbx
oh wait it does obj
not sure how TTS imports work but textools has the .obj and the texture files that you can just export
only problem will be actually finding the monster model you want
I think you can import fbx in
But if you need to convert obj to fix or whatnot use blender
also if they really want to your friends can import their own characters as figures but that takes blender knowledge
This is a simplistic guide to get your foot in the door in the world of vtubing, utilizing your Final Fantasy XIV Character as a base.

You can basically build out your character on textools and import it as one piece
This tutorial is useful for you I feel if you just cut out the vtuber bs @short quarry

Done through mog station and there’s a fee
You also can’t transfer to congested dcs/worlds like Aether

Or free if it’s to materia
what the heck is a quid

I found a tool that lets you view the games files - I found a way to track down .mdl files, but It's later than I realize so I'll have to take a crack at converting that file into something else later this week. Thanks for your & @fresh gate 's help!
The tool that is linked and provided (textools) will export models fully as .OBJ if you so desire
ah' that's how people done the unique pose ._.
But why?
no, it doesn't unlock anything except for the story
you still have to attune to aether currents
Textools has the monster models built into it!
The only weirdness is that the .obj for certain monsters is stored in multiple files rather than one so I gotta figure out a way to fuse em.
On a positive note - I got ~50% of a morbol into tabletop sim.
I'll hitup the textools discord going forward with more questions tomorrow. Thanks again!
yes it does
is there like a maintenece going or something for 6.1?
ohh what time is it starting and when will it end?
we don't have those details
won't get them until like shortly before the patch is going to drop
ooo i heard from my friend that it was today ahaha
no
it definitely isnt
6.1 isn't going to be released until sometime mid april
we don't even have a firm date yet for 6.1
ahhh okiez
maint happening on monday is for back-end stuff
so we can infer that 6.1 will happen on the 2nd or 3rd Tuesday of April
ooo this monday?
Mar. 7, 2022 4:00 p.m. to Mar. 8, 2022 2:00 a.m. (PST)
hi I'm new-ish and I'm trying to buy some outfits from the online store but I keep getting the error code i2501 and I'm not sure what do to now
I just redeemed a code for a 30 day sub and turned off my vpn and adblocker and it still wont let me buy the outfits
update: I tried different browser and that didnt work either
update update: fixed :D
try a diff browser
should I wait a while before I do that? I dont wanna get banned or something for too many failed attempts
yes
no
This item cannot be used if you have already completed the Shadowbringers main scenario quest "Death Unto Dawn."
for sage, if youre capped on addersgall and theres no pressing healing coming up, is it worth just popping a druochole or two for mp?
Yep, i do it all the time cuz if not i run out of mp fast
yea i noticed that in holminster and wasnt sure lol
maintaining uptime with sage is pretty cool, but eukrasia always messes up my GCD muscle memory
also, what happens on a big pull if you run out of addersgall stacks? im still learning how to ration out ogcds on w2ws, so sometimes im short like 1 cd to get us through the pull fully
just stop n e diag the tank nonstop?
trying a diff browser didn't work :( ty tho

thank you mentor :3
which channel would be appropriate for talking about shb raid stuff :o
Which one
the crossover one d:
Idk, #beginner-lounge with spoilered text? Or the Shb spoiler thread under #beginner-lounge
Or here even
The Nier alliance raids aren't exactly spoiler stuff (in context of FF14)
i mean, i'm just happy because i finished the copied factory for the first time, so that's fine d:
ah then not this channel, it's pretty strict questions/answers only here
Do you always use thundercloud procs or only in ice phase?
you only use them to refresh the thunder dot as it's falling off
this could be during ice or fire phase
#871803817732210819, albeit it doesn't necessarily pertain to the actual story, but still
It makes Thunder free, so use it when you gotta
basically try to use it when the dot is falling off, the buff is falling off, or you need to move
are gray memories guaranteed from crystal tower raids
speaking of which
Is the best use for Sharpcast to guarantee a Thundercloud proc
instead of a Firestarter proc
yes, it's the highest potency gain
eeyup
kk ty
if you want to gamble on getting a natural thundercloud proc, then you can try for f3p transpose lines with sharpcast
but that's a gamble
something like 60% chance to get a proc
I'm not lv60 yet 
you also have two charges of sharp so you can use one for f3p
oh I see
actually no, I am 60 but haven't done the job quest for F4 yet
if you need the f3p for movement or boss downtime then sharping the f3p will result in a higher potency gain if your alternative was to end fire phase early or miss a cast
what if the thing you're sharpcasting for is almost dead and the dot wouldn't matter?
then you have higher potency GCDs to be casting anyway
dump your xenos, try to end on despair, worst case scenario clip transpose and ice paradox
and ideally use your sharps better next time you clear so that you aren't in this situation
you could have, for example, sharped f3p in the preceding fire phase and led into a transpose line
Hi, is there any way to see how long i have owned my house for? or when i purchased it?

AFAIK, no
I took a screenshot when I got it, hope you took yours too 😛
how much is senor sabotender? 3m?
2m
ty ty
how do I know if 18 hours has elapsed since I gather the last map? 🤔
is it the "next map allowance" on /timers?
ya
Yep
ty ty
Is there a maintenance at this moment or is that later
Okay, nvm. My connection is just bad
I'm trying to play with a friend on the invitational parlor
Does anyone know how to make it go to the option where you choose cards based on what they give you? It's much more fair rather than the cards you already own-or so I think
Edit: Nvm found it
Sorry for the question since it seems like basic knowledge, but how do I unlock the Nier quests to get the armor sets?
is therre anything worth spending poetics on while levelling or would it all just get beaten by gear from the next expansion anyway?
the quest "Trouble in Tomra"
Is it a story quest? Or do I have to unlock something else first similar to Crystal Tower?
you need to beat 5.0
It’s a sidequest series at level 80
yeah, buy them as soon as you can, they're the best gear you can get at the beginning of a post expac msq
Oh perfect! I think I'm level 84 now so I guess I will have to track the quest down
msq doesnt start givng you better gear til x5 of the next expac
!quest Trouble in Tomra
!quest word about komra
i see, thanks!

Hey looking for some help. I’m a Thamaturge just started playing. I’m stuck on a quest fighting multiple enemies. I just keep dying. No amount of potions will save me. I don’t think they have any kind of self heal so I don’t know what to do. Any help would be amazing
have you done your job quests?
Yeah
what's your armor
whats the name oif the quest
Shock and awe. It’s a very simple one but nuts three rounds of multiple enemies and I can’t keep my health up. Wearing sorcerers armour at level 90
wait, what level are you?
It's 50
shouldn't you be a Black Mage then
u can sleep enemies
Level 52 yeah I am sorry I meant to say that
It doesn’t seem to do much I’ve tried that too
It covers all overworld healing
yeah that gear is pretty bad, you should have an ironworks set by now
thats ilvl 130
Oh I’m not sure what that is.. I’ve only been playing for a week
!faq poetics
did you complete the praetorium msq?
They're in post arr
Ok I’ll have a look today thank you for your help
Do we have any info/roadmap for coming events/collabs?
Little ladies day and moogle tomes on the 14th
And that's it
They don't really announce events far in advance unless they just so happened to be there when showing a patch schedule
I see
Any idea how long they last? 2 or 3 weeks?
OK thanks
where do i exchange my bicolor vouchers into bicolor gemstones?
You can't.
The vouchers are for getting two specific items, a mount (Wivre) and fashion accessory (Fallen Angel AKA Black Angel Wings), both costing 500 vouchers.
So, for leveling, theres:
PotD for 50-60
HoH for 60-70
Bozja for 70-80
Is there anything for 80-90?
not yet
that'll come later in the expac
bozja is still decent for 80-90
but dungeons are better if you got decent queue time
So how would a DPS alt job, go from 80-90 on their own? DF is obviously not an option
trusts, bozja, roulettes
trusts if dungeon queues are very long
hmm I see
generally around past 15 minutes of queue time is when trusts are a bit faster

who are the Seeq and Bangaa?
Tactics/12 stuff I'm guessing
Seeq
ah I see
Bangaa
OH so from the Return to Ivalice quests
Both are seen in the Ivalice Raids and Save the Queen stories
and are originally from FFXII/Tactics Advance
(Same with Viera, IIRC)
yep
I see
and Nu Mou
where were Seeq in the storyline? i dont remember them
[Return to Ivalice] so, are new classes usually teased in game through lore and dialogue first before being added? I know all of these are previous FF classes but this is the first time seeing them mentioned
during the chocobo trash?
the treasure chests
geomancer is essentially astrologian, arithmetician is essentialy scholar/arcanist, templar is essentially paladin
Yeah Seeq thieves are one of the trash pulls in Rabanastre
and then Bozja features a Seeq character too, Daguza, who features in several skirmishes
and recurs throughout Bozjan Southern Front and Zadnor
Geomancy is kinda like Astrology, but also not
eehh kinda?
but a geomancer has a slew of debuffs and party buffs
like, practically a 50/50 split
in terms of the in-game lore, Geomancer is basically just Far Eastern Astrologian with Conjurer spells
really? hmm so its different to other FF games then
And a debuffer/buffer job would likely not exist in any faithful state here
since people would just gravitate to using the best debuffs and best buffs, like what happened with pre-5.0 AST card kit.
And debuffs kinda don't really work
They removed all the specific resistance down debuffs
Motherfucker will not die
well they DID practically remove all the DoTs in the game, and geomancer could get those, plus the usuals like paralysis, sleep and stat debuffs
could be interesting
Every caster has sleep
a near 100% support mage
None of that fits how ff plays
Sleep and paralysis would only be usable for trash
All bosses are immune to pretty much all status ailments
also, ngl but their attack abilities would be cool as fuck, magma, snowstorms, stone attacks
To make something like that viable they'd have to bend the rest of the game around it
And they ain't gonna do that
So...BLU mage
Lmao
Most do
Martin is looking at you in utter disappointment
At least until tome event
that's the first one
yup. the only BLU quest I have done is the one where I whack an octopus
you can buy the weapon back from the calamity salvager
I have a question, does anyone have any tips for getting better at frontline? Theres a group of people as well as a few single players in my DC that consistently get battle high V within like 2 minutes and then sweep through teams. How do they manage to do that so consistently? i can never get any kills without someone coming in last minute and stealing it.
don't die
know your rotation, experience
for DPS, you can try playing DRG/BRD/SMN
these 3 are quite strong in frontline
some jobs have easier kill confirms due to high potency skills
really?
!pvpaction apex arrow
Delivers an attack with a potency of 1,200 to all enemies in a straight line before you.
Soul Voice Gauge Cost: 50
Potency increases up to 2,400 as Soul Voice Gauge exceeds minimum cost.
Consumes Soul Voice Gauge upon execution.
yeah, DRG is just so strong in pvp 😹
!pvpaction concentrate
and BRD has like 3 CC skills
3,600 damage with this before battle high modifier
SMN also have high burst
thats a lot
In aoe*
!pvpaction Smite

interesting, so those are all good classes to play?
Bard is nice for the poke and burst at higher battle high
!action pvpaction Piercing Talon
blm is funny
what about tanks and heals? I see warriors running through and smashing through people xD
Machinist is probably better, but i don't like machinist
for tanks, WAR is popular
holmgang
WHM has high burst heal, the lilies fill up much faster than pve version
DRG has one skill that does good damage the further you are from the person
yeah Holmgang is a killer move if you have an ally or two with you
BLM is one of my current favourites

despite the disadvantage
as for healers, I only really play WHM/SCH so i can't give much of a fair opinion on them
idk about BLM, haven't tried it yet
but WHM has decent burst with temperance and blood lily
since temperance also increases damage done
I don't "try everything" in pvp, I just switch to the class I play comfy 😹
yeah WHM is pretty good
for BLM
ahhh awesome! <3
yeah, if not the mentor from EU/JP/NA making alt in materia, It wouldn't even pop in the evening 👀
but it's normal for a new DC
if you want to play all day everyday, you need to make alt in another DC
cause their frontline active time is different
Just warning you pretty much all this information will be redundant in the next patch since pvps getting a huge rework
For example EU is 4-10 AEDT, NA 10-18, AU 18-20, JP 20-1
NA is the longest cause well it has the most players..
Frontline matches are easy to get if you're on during the peak hours, Rival Wings only queues when there are dedicated community times, Feast is just dead
Well, dps jobs will probably stay the same but they basically want to remove roles from pvp
Feast is also being removed in 6.1 so its super dead
nah i only queue for pvp stuff at peak times
ah yeah afaik it's 18-20 AEDT for Materia
at least that's when people calling others to start queueing up

do eukrasian diagnosis and haima stack?
yes
Yez
Skills stack unless stated otherwise (or if it's the same raid buff from multiple jobs)
and is zoe best used with eukrasian diagnosis or pneuma?
Pneuma
It makes it a 900 pot heal
Which is like some of the highest potency aoe heal
so how does sage rotation actually work? will this do?
start of the dungeon, kardia on tank, then spam eukrasian diagnosis till the tank pulls wall to wall, then krasis+haima on tank, phlegma/dyskrasia, zoe+pneuma
and then trhow in a holos or kerachole in between
In this video we will be going over how to utilize Sage in dungeons! With Sage being a new healer introduced in Endwalker I thought it would be a good idea to make a new dungeon guide for players who are just getting into the role or players who may be struggling trying to grasp the concepts of the job. Sage (SGE) is a very strong healer when pu...
This covers it
But basically Krasis + Physis + Kerachole at the start of each pull
And that basically covers a large majority of healing
And alternative Hamia and Panhamia each pack
Taurochole after Kerachole wears off is good too
If stuff is still alive and it's needed yeah
and if a pull goes long enough, then Kerachole again after Taurochole wears off
Throw Soteria just kinda wherever
ok. thanks.
Can I add friends in trial? Even if they're on another server?
Oh, bunmer

Is there a guide to farming FATEs in Endwalker?
Heard you could get a ton of gil or something from the gemstones or whatever
Yeah, it's called grind the fates you can do
They all give the same currency
The rewards come from levelling up all the zones
Ie gold 66 fates in each of the 6 zones
could you suggest for some dungeons to practice playing as healer(sage)
if you're new to healer as a whole, I suggest a dungeon or two at each level cap
50/60/70
So far I’m levelling carpentry by just smashing out lumber until the next, higher level one is available. Gaining 4-5 levels every 1-2 hours. Is that a good rate or could I be getting more? I’ve got manuals, food etc.
make sure to get accessories, as unlocking sage only gives you left-side gear
Once you get ishgard restoration you can cap to 80 in very short time if you got the mats ready
If i started on Crystal, is there a way to get / move to Light ?
I’ve got access to The Restoration. Are you suggesting I build out items for that?
Home world transfer for 18$
It's the fastest way to level that's not leves
So in order to belong too 2 Worlds, need 2 accountss ?
1 account, 2 characters
so does the move, move my whole account to Light, or jsut the toon i choose ?
Just the character
ok TY Vinyl 😄
Your "account" doesn't belong to any data centre
gotttcha
Nice. I want to save my levels for 80 onwards. Is that wise?
Just don't cap your allowance really
Alright cool. And I just go the one levemete right? One in the major cities?
So pre-50 is ARR and then 50+ is main cities?
The main city of that expansion yes
Thank you. I need to write this down lol
is there a setting ive changed or is it just FF14 doing something its always done. In bozja ive noticed every skirmish i go into if i use anything on my second cross hotbar it flips to my first without fail. Only does it then and only then
Do you mean the WXHB with double-tapping R2 or L2?

@obsidian patio No I just mean for example my healers have more dps spells on my second cross hotbar. So when I go into the fight and start it with one of those abilities it will flip back to cross hotbar 1 in that first instance and never do it again during the fight however it will do that every instance fight i go into.
Moogle treasure trove is coming back and my BLU is still level 1. What's the fastest way to level it to 50?
kill overworld enemies at or slightly above your level
Can't say I've ever heard of that specific issue. :\
only sync'd duty give poetic
custodian
ooo okkiez thank you!!
after 60 they just categorize them by role
Where would one go to ask for help for POTD?
#eu-datacentres if you're need people for queues
Trying to find a party for levels 31-40, but been waiting for 40mins
