I see
i think i'll get around to trying reaper for now since im tryna find something to play through shadowbringers. played a lot of dark knight so guess i'll move to the next edgy job
ummm why cant i use the launcher
hello is there a way to keep my account signed in, in the launcher ??
it just says they have "temporarily suspended login access to this account due to suspicious activity"
but i was just playing 2 days ago
have a try #lodestone-news-na
where do I find this?
how do I get it?
Thats like a super long questline of relic weapon upgrading right?
One of them
Each job has one per each expac?
ivalice raid?
so I gotta do a whole raid to start the quest?
is it difficult?
i mean I was gonna do it regardless but thank god.
24mans are casual content
Hardest part is the queue times
good thing i can do other stuff while I load up
oh thats dumb thank you tho
i was worried for a second
thought i was hacked
had a mini heart attack

Question about the online store. I bought a minion over 3 days ago. I got my email confirmation and everything and still nothing in the mail. Anyone know how long I should wait before starting a ticket?
Did you click the request delivery button in the mail
I don't know what that is. I just opened my inbox and found nothing.
In game
yeah in game
I've bought things in the past and never had this issue. I just go to a delivery moogle then get my stuff.
yeah I only have one character and one log in
couldn't have been anyone else.
I'm just wondering if it's normal for me to wait this long?
Well the mail system gets clogged when the servers are very full because it has to sort them all out in a queue
But 3 days is extremely long.
Try the delivery request button and if you still get nothing after a few hours then maybe ask support for peace of mind
Ok thanks
is there any point to lvling up desynth now?
To have a better chance at drops
gives you better rates at rare item results from desynth, main use for that is desynthing ex trial weapons for the rare crafting material it gives
TY for your help.
oohhh ic ic
But it's not a particularly crucial part of the game
Does a higher gathering/perception rating make it easier to catch old ones, or do I just need to meet the minimum rating for that fish?
There's a cap on how high stats can make your fishing chance
So my wife teleported to a map and it said "You sense your mark to the south east", and when we went there she had an A rank that we killed. I didn't get any such message though. Where did the message originate from?
If you're going for rare fish, being higher level can't make your catch chance that much higher.
B rank.
The game just messages you if hunt marks are near
Message appears if you have a weekly hunt bill for that particular B rank.
oh, I thought A ranks were the ones that gave 40 allies seals
oh, hm, I got seals for it too
What was the mob
Zanig'oh
That is an A rank
Would you recommend I put off trying to catch the ARR old ones until I have the last ARR gathering set I can get ahold of then? Rn I'm trying to attempt some of the lower requirement ones with the 1* fisher set you can craft, and I don't have much of an idea where I should be before attempting this even
You did not find the B rank your wife's message was pointing to
oh, lol, fair enough.
You just happened to find an A rank in a similar direction by pure coincidence
Ok we found it, thanks 🙂 She's had that thing sitting in her inventory for like 8 years
since ARR lol
Noob question! What are fire crystals, and all those things used for?
anyone got a link to an idiot's guide to NIN?
Crafting
Ahh ok Ty
Whenever you craft stuff, you also need a requisite amount of crystals that depend on the recipe.
Since in-lore, you're using them to expedite the crafting process.
Whether it's fire and water for cooking.
Wind for drying wood to prevent rot.
WeskAlber on YT has an informational video on the class
is there an accepted best/quickest way to get the first recruit after unlocking squadrons?
was looking for something a bit more succint... an hour long video is a bit... much
i'm already at 60... so getting a refresher would be more helpufl
The only way is doing challenge log
So watch that vid, it goes over all your tools again
He does go level by level and highlights why things are important. And tons of NIN mains commented with feedback and other great pointers

Does Shadowbringers not have class quests for every 2 or so levels like HW and SB do?
Role quests are the standard from SHB onwards
Role quests? Oh like how the story splits for each role, I see...
i'm not going to waste an hour of my life listening to someone ramble on when a simple PNG would do the job here.....
Then make the PNG so it exists for future NINs 🙂
Ok so I made a ff14 account in 2016 and forgot my login completely on ps4 so how do I make a new account everytime I try square enix always says I need a new service account do buy ff14 on a alt account or what
If only there was some way to stop videos after getting all the info I want
OH WAIT
Is there any way to save presets of hairstyle and stuff? I usually change mine depending if I am doing MSQ or hanging out with friends, and it gets tiring to do every time
@sick light no
Dammit
you still have to dig through the video... at that point you'd be better off just screwing around with a dummy and instancing and sucking it up that way
@arctic kayak yes you need a new account if you can't access your old one
and you'll have to buy it again and ask SE support to unlink your PS4 account
Ok so unlink account by asking as then make a new one on the same account?
you make a new mogstation account and enter that in the ps4
Ok so my main account I haven’t been on 14 since 2016 I obviously forgot the password can I switch to a new account / email download 14 and make a account to play the game on that one?
So I need to buy 14 on my alt
yes
Account
its an entirely new account
if you want the expacs then complete
Ok so new account new mog email I can play right ?
Yes, this is what they’ve been telling you
Cool
But that legit is the best way to learn...
theres no png that covers everything for a specific level that isnt 90
because there would just be too much shit crammed into it
it'd be unreadable
Heres all of this information thats immediately irrelevant, have fun 🙂
Regarding ARR relics. I have to do nine books for each relic right?
Yep
Yeah that sucks
No skipping steps, worst relic grind
With field craft Leves, when you hand in the item and it says do you want to hand in more, is that basically an opportunity to milk the Level for all its worth for a one time spend of an allowance?
Alright cool. I'm doing the L50 Ishgard ones.
That reminds me that I have no idea what leves do, are for, and why they’re important. And i felt like all the ingame tool tips and tutorials for them made no sense lol
to a certain extent... it's also a really good way to pick up bad habbits that need to be unlearned later on
Ah yes, Bad Habits such as knowing your job.
remove anything you dont have
That's awesome. Where did you get that? Are the ones for every job?
But they are made for lvl cap since you’ll have all your tools then
Bad habits? More like Old Habits. How can one practice good habits if they’re 30 levels away from said needed habits?
they are repeatable quests and are only good for crafters/gatherers
gain 30 levels and practice
i linked you the opener, if you have a specific question then ask
I wish it just said that in game. Time to wait until i get around to DoHs haha
oh
It does tho, the only leves after 60 are for doh/dol
I still think it's better to learn from your own experience. Gives a better understanding of what things do and more versatility in combat based on context
Well i’ll be damned lol. Still good to know
Can we rewatch custom delivery cutscenes? I can't seem to find it in the unending journal
am i crazy or is exactly two targets that will live for at least 60 seconds is the condition in which you should use SAM's finisher-doubler on the Higanbana DoT instead to multidot? or i guess it really doesn't matter since you should probably just manually multidot it with Kaiten anyway and there's no point retraining your muscle memory for a situation that barely happens?
can i directly buy the job gears? or will i have to farm for some tokens through some trials?
random question: are there any players who had old accounts, and for whatever some reason, lost it for good and had to make a new account?
Of course there are, but why do you wanna know
Do you get anything from doing sightseeing logs?
Birb minion
and a minion
i dont understand? like in previous expansion there was a merchant with whom you had to exchange 10 legatus tokens to get the gear right?
That’s the dyeable version of the gear
You buy the normal 80 stuff back in the last area, where you originally got it
what about the lvl 89 artifact gear?
damn
89 AF gear is simply given to you for free in the course of the main story. Do role quests to make then dyeable.
50 gear you have to craft something with alchemist then trade it to a guy in mor dhona
60 is just dyeable but you have to spend centurio seals for the gear itself
Anyone know the name of the song that plays in Bonds of Adamant(ite) when the deliveries arrive and the gang goes out on the docks? Heard it so many times but never bothered looking it up

dangerous words
it's used in shb too
so that transpose rotation
Is it actually a meme or is it viable
Or is it too variable to be worth it
not worth as much anymore since they buffed F3
ah i see thanks
the new meme rotation is dragon kick MNK if you wanna look into that
like
a no bootshine rotation? wut
!action bootshine
!action dragon kick
the idea is that dragon kick is way stronger if it crits
so you keep up the rest of your buffs, dots, nadi's etc. but in that time otherwise you farm dragon kick
and this is viable? or it being compared to the pardox meme rotation means its too much work?
The DK rotation meme has already been topped
topped?
Yes, it's already been out dpsed
By regular rotations
But someone did get a 99 with just spamming dragon kick
ah ok so its about the same level then
wouldn't be suprised to if we saw a buff to bootshine or somethin to make people not do that rotation
This all relies on dragon kick catching enough crits to make it worthwhile, right?

I feel the need to ask if that was a 99 on anything meaningful
cape westwind unsync
ever since that steam integration thing happened I'm getting major stuttering in game, anyone know of a solution?
are all the role quests good or only some of them?
I've only done the phys and healer ones in Shb, but I liked them
i found them all to be decent
tho it depends on which areas and sets of npcs you like
think it was iirc but the rng to make the dk rotation good is too much
there was something about that monk being on the hops with crit buffs too??
reddit says it was p1s by mortred or whatever
not our job
I think this is the original source..? And he had other threads on it as well, there's a whole graph where he said it becomes 'better than optimal rotation after 54% of crit'
so that summarises it really
there's also videos or smth
it's their 11th best run
Pretty funny tbh
Ahhh. In one if the replies he has a post saying its really not meant to be serious. Only works with full uptime fights and specific kill times etc
exactly
from what I can tell this guy is a cracked monk player and that run took a fuck ton of planning and work

Question
or its the 150% became 75%
What is the best in slot set for sam atm?
!faq balance
they have the BiS for different SKS you can build
it becomes 75%
Ty
To start HoH 31 onwards
i gotta be either Solo or in a group of 4, aye?
And then i gotta start from 1 or should i get the option 31?
if i have a character on another world, can i mail dude something?
Ingame post?
Only works on the same World as it looks
ok TY @ruby tundra
same world ? you sure
they need to be on friend list right ?
cant send stuff to your own alts without another middle man, since you cant rly friend your own alts
why are there no tradecraft and fieldcraft levemates in ul'dah
be in the same fc and have the rights to use the fc chest
are the only options to trade stuff between your own alts
Because you haven't unlocked miner, goldsmith, weaver or alchemist
Or you're not looking at those sections
Or both
how do i unregister my chara from kupo-bot
well i have botanist and culinarian and neither was there
but i went to gridania and found some for botanist
And where did you unlock botanist and Culinarian?
Iirc you can overwrite with a fresh iam
gridiania for botanist and culinarian for limsa
Do you see why you didn't find their leves in uldah now?
yeah. i get it now

i somehow misplaced my soul crystal for monk, got deranked to pugilist
how do I fix this?
yes please.
should tell you where it is
thanks!
i don't believe you can destroy it
when it finds Soul of the Monk
right click it and Search for Item
when is 6.1 coming?
april
Thanks
found it, tysvm!
oh uh another question, when I have a menu open and I go talk to my retainers, all other menus close on their own, any way to fix this?
nope that's just ff14 jank
this is unfortunate.
it struggles to multitask UI elements often
I remember there’s a cane that’s a blue and red crystal on the stick. Does anyone remember the name?
BLU cane? there's only like 6 total
No whm
i filtered by 'two-handed conjurer arm' and switched results to Icons
look through them yourself if that's not the one you wanted
Ooh, I think so!
What should I spend the Purple gatherer scrips on?
the gear is decent if you dont plan on melding the crafted gear
otherwise, materia is a safe bet for gil
I got Full AR-Caean gear set, all slots melded with at least 1
Should I get a full purple set for my retainers?
if you want to
Better just get them an ar-caean set no? Since it's cheap af. Can't remember what the new breakpoint is tho
And sell materia for the purple scrips
So I shouldn't meld my own gear with it?
Eh I meant for your retainers, it'd be better just buying ar-caean set imo, and use the purple for materia. The selling of them was assuming you didn't need them, but I'm not sure if it's worthwhile to meld the current gathering gear unless you're aiming for some high-end nodes. Better ask in #doh-dol-lounge if Noone else can answer that here

Is alchemist a good job to get to 80. I’m about to get blacksmith to 80 and all my other classes are 80 while alchemist is 60. Is alchemist an important class
its as important as blacksmith
Uhmm, I'm at level 90 crafters and gatheres and 100 leves. What's the most easiest & profitable leves for now?
heard carrot nibbles were ok
Oki thank you
Looks okay, all of the ingredients are farmable 🤔
Has anyone here ever pre-ordered a physical item from square enix store?
Is there any use for FCs? Except the social aspect ?
buffs
Like can I get some experience boost from joining one or things like that?
submersibles/airship missions bring stuff not found anywhere else
but that's a lot of effort for niche stuff
also needs housing
housing for the FC
Ohhh
and yes you can get an xp boost as a FC buff
Okay then I might try to find one earlier for the exp buff then ^^
Thanks a lot for the answer ^^
fcs aren't really required for raiding
join one whenever you want
Create an fc then share items and money with your alts
Raiding guilds are not a thing

was /objectsit once in the game and now removed? feels kinda polished to be a fan addition
dont recall an emote by that name so i assume it is a mod
it is but it works so well you'd assume the devs made it themselves
afaik its just taking the emotes already in game and letting you use it basically anywhere
is there a cap on skybuilders scrips?
10000
Hey I have a couple questions, I'm wondering how to tab-target allies in combat so I can heal them, and I'm also curious if there's any downside to selecting the easy or very easy options in story quests
no downside
cool thank you! but what about NPC allies?
Unless the friendly NPCs are in your party, you have to target them manually. There's no way to otherwise target them in combat.

Will it be possible to get that jacket from the last moogle treasure hunt again, or is it gone for good
The Inferno jacket? It's hard to say. So far they haven't rerun exclusive glamour items in the moogle events though.
they have rerun the 100 mogtome items a few times
just like this moogle event, the mameshiba earrings are a rerun
Yeah that one
so its possible the inferno jacket will make a repeat but we can't say for certain
inferno jacket is a tad more exclusive than the other items in terms of design so who knows, really.
:(
Fingers crossed
a good 40-50 hours
It's pretty quick. Like 4 runs of each dungeon.
its still there god damn it
rip ok ty ty
you might want to try the quicklauncher instead
!faq quicklauncher
@spring elk inferno jacket was brand new in the last event so its gonna be a while before we see it again if at all
Is there no way to get "Aetheryte Earring" on alt?
If you don't already have it on your account, no.
The Aetheryte earring was the preorder bonus for Shadowbringers.
Oh nvm, late* Moogle Mail
Yeah, if you have a lot of long-term rewards on your account, it might take a few extra minutes.
Yeah, I have the same issue on my alts.
Was there a question?
Yes what raxe will it fit 🤣
All of them? I'm not sure what mask you're talking about.
The kano Sable Death Mask
i did same thing heh, was like where is my Earring !!! Then went to see moog buddie.
Moogle is awesome always soo giving ;^)
why is uldah so hard to navigate its ridiculous
Use the aether shards and your map
whats the fastest way to get the event currency assuming you completed base hw and part of alexander
Blu Aurum vale
its always blu 
uldah is easiest for me
i haven't leveled blue at all
Then just passively get them each day from roulettes
i mainly want to speed through it since i'm going to be very busy the next few days and won't get to log in
dont necessarily need to have blue leveled for aurum vale spam, as there are groups that will take other jobs
can go in as tank/phys ranged
to either sac for them on trash pulls or give speed boost
i only have healers leveled
how long will the event be going on for
til 6.1 which is slated for mid april
Basically a month
likely have about a month or so to farm
if I upgrade to the full version (from the free trial) and then I stop paying my monthly sub at some point, do I revert back to the free trial restrictions (no market, retainers etc) or would I just not be able to play?
no
You can’t play the game
not able to play
you would not be able to play
thanks! D: pondering an upgrade as I inch up to the level cap. but I don't see myself playing without long breaks in between.
Even if they did put you back on trial, you’d be stuck if you’re in a SB and beyond area
To add to the answer based on this, you can also resubscribe for brief periods and then let it lapse, and although you won't be able to play the game, your account won't go anywhere, so you can pick it back up again as soon as you resub.
A large portion of the playerbase does exactly that.
who should i side with gridania uldah or the other one?
Doesn’t matter
k
Grand Companies are only flavor, selecting one will not impact the story at all.
ty all
!faq grandcompany
Which Grand Company should I choose?
The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you choose beside the quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'. Here is a link leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies:
Grand Company Gear (click the JP flag at the top right to change to english)
How do I get Grand Company Seals?
You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. You can use these seals to promote yourself to higher ranks from the Personnel Officer. Promotions also require completion of your Grand Company Hunting Log and completing specific quests found at your Grand Company base.
Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in exchange for more seals.
You can also change relatively freely later
Interesting question.
So I own ffxiv on ps4 but trying to buy it on mac, but my country isnt available on the sqenix store, do I go get it on steam?
What region is your mogstation account
EU
Then buy from the EU store?
Nope Eu store doesnt have it either
What do you mean isn’t available, they email you the game code after you buy it. Your country shouldn’t have any effect on that
when billing it asks for an address
my country isnt available in the dropdown
idk about putting a fake address in
Cmon now, who hasnt owned property at 123 fakestreet at some point in their lives
I yee steam annd idk if squeenix has ever asked for me address
So, there's a good bit of partial information and weird reactions to it going on.
SO, first off
EU store Endwalker for MAC OS
URL included in case you're having difficulty navigating to the page.
heya fellas, my gf plays mainly on ps4 as a free trial, she is now planning to buy the game, at my place i have a ps5, if she buys copy of the game for ps5 or ps4 can she play on both consoles without any extra costs
yeah I'm buying from there
I play on pc so i dont have any idea of the console versions D:
You can upgrade to ps5, yes
The console versions are locked to a PSN ID.
Yep, PS4/PS5 use the same license.
so she can buy it on ps5 and go back home and play on her ps4 aswell nice
sweet
So if her PSN ID is linked to both systems, then yes.
But she'd have to use her own profile on your system. And probably attach an authenticator so her account doesn't get flagged for logins from multiple locations.
ofc
Also, and I'm not 100% sure about this because I don't own a PS5, I think that once you upgrade to the PS5 version, you can't go back to the PS4 version.
If you buy the PS5 version, you definitely can't play the PS4 version.
atleast psn store says both consoles in the title
this is a real fuckin headache
I think the overriding question, Squall, is what country are you from?
I even tried buying from jp store but that needs a jp mog station
India'
Can I make a jp mog station acc, and buy it there? Or will the game be tied to that new account
What region is your Mogstation account?
Europe and Other Regions
Your license has to match your Mogstation region.
So you wouldn't be able to use a JP or NA license.
seriously...
Yes
I'm moving to jp irl what do I do
India’s under EU regions
According to greenman
But it's not an option in billing
do all the rouletts give you event currency
Unless I can just make a fake address
No, look at the duty list
If I buy it on the Eu store I get a code I can use anywhere right?
No
Well, on a EU mog acc
Yes. As long as your mogstation account is EU regional, you will be able to use an EU code.
for example my sub fee is calculated in euros
where do i check how much event currency i have]
ok I'm just gonna buy it from a EU store using a friends address
In your inventory.
its an item in your inventory @vast ferry
You do know it hasn’t started yet, right
it hasn't?
uh it will be fine if I buy it from the UK store right
Yes
Is it recommended to get the game from the online store and not steam
Up to you. However you prefer to launch the game
if u have already a registed windows geam to ur account, u cannot get steam and vice versa
if you get from steam you will forever be locked to buying from steam and still have to use mogstation
I just have a registered ps4 acc
If you get it on steam you have to buy the expacs off steam. If you use just the launcher, then you buy the expacs off mogstation or u could get some stuff from third party vendors
id personally recommend normal store ,since you will still be using mogstation in the end
Cant I just get the registration code from steam
and use it on the launcher
though steam doesnt mention if its compatible on mac
oh its for windows only fuck me ig
yeah the mac version is its own thing
if you're having trouble buying from the SE store, you can try and find a third party seller for the mac version
hello, where can I find the place where I see my code, that my friend can enter on his profile? friend code i belive or invite maybe? im not sure about the name
Mogstation, RAF is at the bottom
oh, thanks
Did anyone else just disconnect off Sarg? logged in and just seeing the ??? reminiscent of the queue issues at EW launch
i got disconnected from coeurl, same errors^
Yes!
I just did.
Yes!
I just dc'ed off Primal too
So glad it wasn’t just me
I was on the final boss....
I was in a dungeon and it kicked me off
guess thats my queue to take a break
Crystal's down rn
dc’d in crystal
same
i had just finally started on my Doh/Dol quests lmfao
does this happen often?
smells like DDoS
I wonder if the people in my roulette got kicked off. I was doing smileton as my gnb and when I tried to provoke enemies, nothing happened
RIP my roulette.
1st time ive actually had a server go down since i started playing (5 months?)
it logged me off while i was trying to level up machinist lol, came here to see if anyone else was having the same problem
does anyone know when its coming back?
i also just got booted, thankfully i had just finished my leveling roulette lol
seems like something went wrong so who knows
158 people in Mateus queue lmao
i'll give it a few mins then try logging in again
@stone geyser give it like.. 10-30 minutes to even out
If they haven't fixed it by then it's likely some sort of disruption like a ddos
120 for sargatanas
I was already playing lol it logged me out then said I’m 368 in queue
none of these numbers are particularly high so it may be some other sort of internet disruption
on Lamia
if the entire server went down you'd be seeing queues in the thousands
I was wondering the same thing. Just went to log in and the que is 500+
December pain
any idea ?
It's just a regular ol' server disruption with these numbers, trust me
if it keeps happening though I'd be suspicious of bigger problems
ok Fii TY
so with sage's haima/panhaima, what happens if some big hit (TB, etc) breaks the shield instantly? will it consume multiple stacks, or will a sizeable chunk just hit the raw hp due to refresh latency or something?

Just one stack
I'm trying to get back into crafting and stuff, but one thing I've been confused by, what does it mean when there are swirly lights and it makes a sound effect like whirrr POP
Probably spiritbond completing
also, for crafters/gatherers, do they have role quest equivalents or something for ShB? seems they end at 70 too
Yep I think that's it, spiritbond. Thanks!
Just like with combats, each facet covers multiple crafters and gathering
And there's 5 facets in total, 3 crafting and 2 gathering
so, what should i buy with white crafting scrip, im 52 in most crafting stuff
what should i buy in order
can anyone who's world transfered tell me roughly how long it might take?
yeah i was about to come and say it was basically instant lol, thanks!
which one would be more useful overalls
The one with the higher item level
that is true, but the top one is for blacksmith only while the other can be use by all
you can't get ornate ironworks anymore
but that said, getting ironworks generally isn't worth tbh unless you can find it on the marketboard for cheap
easier to just push to 61 and grab vendor gear
even cheaper to push to 63 and buy the 63/62 gear...usually p cheap on broker too
Does blacklisting someone actually get you to not party up with that person again?
given how many ppl are in DF tho, pretty rare imo
kk thanks
power level to like...63 gear, then do custom deliveries
hey guys i cant reset my password because my acc got restriced from yesterday now i cant reset the password cause when i created the account put random birthday... now cant play the game anymore and i got 1135 hours of gaming
thats all i do for crafting scrips rn
already? reset was yesterday
Why did it get restricted?
huh
weekly reset is tuesdays
that might explain how i did 12 in 1 day
idk something with update with steams so to lift up my account need to do reset password
12 is the custom delivery cap
custom deliveries u get 12 a week, 6 per NPC per week
oh
well neat
time to level up crafting since i have no use for gathering scrips
now i made new account is there a way to remoce the cd keys from old account and put to new one?> so not buy all dlcs from sctratch?
No
u can buy materia and sell it
but generally crafter scrip is m ore valuable than gatherer scrip in terms of gil
it does take longer to make crafting scrip
ocean fishing also dumps gatherer scrip on you lol
i get like 500-1k for 15minutes of effort..and u can do that every 2 hours if u want
i am 70 in all gathering skill
im just working on crafting rn
I don't think so. Have you tried login in to your main acc again? Sometimes the restriction is only an hour or so then it's lifted. Happened with me when I had a payment error.
this is waht i get from yesterday until now

How hard are the dmg downs in Pandemonium?
How is e7s unsync?
Still as braindead as it was when it was current
Just dies faster
Same goes for any shadowbringers stuff. You still do mechanics, just dies faster
so I can unga bunga it?
People unga bungad it when it was current cause it's a terribly designed fight
There's literally was a strat called braindead strat
Cause portals were snoozefest
Hello! Whats an easy but cool bow to farm for glamour? Either cheap or raid spam
is that a legit strat ? or sploit ?
Braindead strat was legit for the second portals
Due to how it went
Cause everyone got aoes to change their colour, trying to make you spread out
But they also did fuck no damage so you just stacked same colour aoe ontop of each other
And afk the mechanic
rofl, sounds fun 🙂
It was the worst fight of Eden by far
heh
thats subjective and also #glamour-discussion
working as intended !
what's the best way to go about clearing ARR/HW extreme trials? duty finder or unsync party?
Unsync
Ironworks bow is pretty neat and you can get it after beating the 2.0 msq
You never que for extremes or higher content
The game actually kills you if you fuck up
And duty finder people are fucking stupid
If you want to sync it for the challenge, use party finder (or whatever discord) and do min ilvl
I've seen the guides, and it looks crazy
Don't duty finder for it
Surprise there's actual mechanics in high end fights
extreme trials are endgame content, of course theyre hard
Who knew
but they die in less than a minute at 90
Do you know what plugin in this is for parsing ?
so like
will do, thank you
ACT
It's act
Kagerou I tjink
kagerou overlay for ACT
With an overlay
ok TY
Kagerou is an overlay

that and finish post ShB
Bam it happened again...
lol
DC's.
I got kicked out. AGAIN
i was in an alliance raid oof
same
Same dude

All of North America down again.
what on earth is going on
#general-discussion #beginner-lounge #rants unless you all have some question (that we might possibly help with) about it
Why is the servers going down? :p
Ddos attacks right now
@brazen reef please behave. This channel isn't for silliness
I real need help tho
Not the place to ask for help with math homework either way

A TEST OF YOUR PHYSICS

#beginner-lounge if you're going to be silly
as a follow up question on unsync parties for extreme trials - what's a good ilvl to have so that I'm not just getting carried?
oh for ARR trials
huh if u r making an unsync for ARR EX, you can probably solo?
currently have ilvl 255
You get enhanced echo so your stats are mega inflated. But try to have as much ilvl as you can for the level you're in
270 is the lv60 cap
At that level lv90s will still be carrying you through
at 270, I soloed as a WAR I think
But arr trials end very quickly
You can easily solo em in i400 and above
yeah its like a 5-10s thing to unsync them without considering forced stops w/ a lvl 90 or 2
how to get support for account?
Pretty specific question here for future reference because for now this looks solved, I acquired a new medium plot today and my neighbors decided to do this, staring right at my plot, which made me extremely uncomfortable, is this in any way actionnable ?
Not really because they're not doing anything wrong
You can talk to them about it but that's really the best you can do
Them placing decorations on their own space how they want is allowed
its the cult recruitment
I mean that person knew what they were doing
Now if they glitched it into your yard it's a different story
Is that a moyai statue
No idea what the name is
Yes
but they put them in a straight line, staring right at my plot
Easter island heads
Incredible
That's not against the rules
If anything it's just you being a tad sensitive/overreading what they're doing
i dont even know what's wrong w/ the picture, and they dont even know that it makes you uncomf
Well they removed them (for now)
after I talked to them
but their tenant was pretty... agressive about it : P
In any case, just needed the info to know, thanks guys I appreciate it
whats a good way to get crafting level up from 50 to 60
Leves, collectibles, GC turn in, tribes
Ishgard restoration
Repeat until 90
What plugins are a must have for you all?
Recently downloaded XIV launcher and wanna know wich ones could come handy
good memory, but that's gonna be mostly obsolete in 6.1
"Easy Eyes" - Reduces VFXs
Globetrotter - Easier to find where treasure is
"Inventory Tools" - helps manage inventory, telling you if and where an item is.
None of these affect you gameplay much, they are simply quality of life

Is there a specific route when it comes to the beast tribes?
meaning?
Any I should focus on getting first?
not really, at the end of the day they're all there for alt leveling/cosmetic stuff
Whatever rewards you're interested in
Any good examples?
Mounts, glamour, minions, emotes
Furniture if you’re into@that
or just straight exp in terms of one in Shb
So it basically just depensd on what level I am?
you can do them at any level you have them unlocked
It’s just that the exp is only effective for jobs in the expansion range
What is special about the Ehcatl deleiveries?
It's the only custom deliveries to give a mount
ehcatl are ixali
I just wondered as their delivery is different from how the other tribes operate
they're nothing particularly special, its just that ixali have an additional daily you can do called "deliverance" that's similar concept as the grand company supply and provisioning missions
in that it request certain items you turn in to fill the quota to complete the daily
It isn’t tho
can i set a macro icon to a main command? like journal or something
That’s just crafting tribes
There are defaults for those.
You don't need a whole macro.
afaik, no you can't use the main menu icons as macro icons
a macro to use a plugin command
Which command?
Can you give an example?
/quests: lists all quests in the game in a way i can do them in order... would be nice to give them a journal icon
You have to remember that plugins, addons, are system-external, while macros are system-internal.
is there san up to date guide on getting all the spells from the blue mage spell list
🤦
it does
But as Kael said, no, you can't use main menu icons for macros.
Hello !
Does doing other fates in an area increases odds for a specific one to pop up ? Or is it the same as waiting until it does ?
Same as waiting.
Thanks
Unless it's part of a chain
wasn't the fee higher for not buying from the market its sold from or am I going senile
it's a variable tax
I don't know. It's required for a book about monk weapon
Oh okay. Thank you
some of the ARR fates just have trash rates tbh
so i took a small break from the game ( 1 month ) after finishing Endwalker and now when i start the game i get this screen :
How do i get to the login screen of the launcher ?
Click next and use the "I already have an account" option
it now asks me to link to the steam account . is this ok ?
Yes, it's a recent change
ok everything is fine .
Got worried for a sec :p
When should I use my damage reduction buffs/debuffs as a tank? I main dancer, but I recently picked up DK as my secondary job and I have like 4 different damage reduction skills atm with more to come from what I've seen. I want to use them to their full potential and not waste them so please any advice!
what level are u at rn
48 as DK
so you dont get deleted by mobs?
you need to cycle them
rotate between them
whenever you finish your pull and ground yourself, rotate CDs 1 at a time
for bosses , save them for TB's if Main tanking
Without meaning to come off as sardonic, the correct answer is "as appropriate". In dungeons that means that during trash pulls you cycle through them, and you should read their tooltips so you understand what they do and where to get the most use out of them.
Against bosses and in any content where there's only a single enemy, use them as necessary to defend against tankbusters and reduce the severity of high-damaging auto-attacks.
yes
Stacking can be beneficial, but it's a case by case basis.
they stack multiplicatively
meaning they lose effectiveness
only do it if youre going to die
Also, some cooldowns will cause others to lose effectiveness when stacked with them.
for TB 's do stack them ( 2 at minimum ) as 1 Skill will not save you .
better to be safe then sorry depending on Healer skill

no casual content hits hard enought o kill you with 1 mit unless youre EXTREMELY undergeared
you do not need 2
Only high end content needs stacking Cooldown
So, for example, Warrior has a cooldown that reduces damage strongly and applies an outgoing "riposte" attack whenever an enemy attacks them.
Arm's Length, which often included in the list of defensive cooldowns, applies a Slow effect to enemies, which reduces their damage dealt—but because it reduces their attack speed, it reduces the damage they would have taken from the Warrior's counter-attack skill.
CAn I ask question I am having another friend rest password can 1 time password token unlock her account and change password "not steam?
Dungeon boss busters do like half your hp
i did p2n and the tb only took like 2/3 of my health with 1 mit
Which is nothing
I don't even know what TB is though
tank buster
big hit on the tank
Big hit in general, normally only survivable by a tank.
shit even some tbs in endgame content only require 1 mit now
dark mind does wonders
CAn I ask question I am having another friend rest password can 1 time password token unlock her account and change password "not steam?
Thanks for all advice
I make this clarification because tankbuster abilities are targeted to the party member with the highest aggro at the time, and if that person is not the main tank (or off-tank), it will not automatically target them and may in fact target someone far far squishier.
There are some boss abilities that do target specific roles.
but tankbusters are generally "highest on the aggro table"
which should be you, the tank, provided you have your stance on and aren't eating glue
pretty sure some tbs in endgame content target the tank with the higher aggro
if its 1 tb
if its 2 then the other goes to whoever has highest aggro
as long as tank stance is on i feel this is less of a worry . a non tank player would only get hit if the TB is a cleave / aoe and they stand right next to the tank .
yeah im just saying some tb mechanics specifically target tanks unless one of them is dead
Correct.
do you have to get hit by the spell to learn it but do you just have to kill the enemy
you just have to see it
I assume this is for blue mage.
You need to see it CASTED
and have aggro
does the cast have to finish
That's seeing it cast
ah
If it didn't cast then you won't learn it
ty
when do i unlock the gc
im almost lvl 30 and only at lvl 18 story
Thats your answer
ahh

story then got it
Story unlocks everything
Stop doing dungeons and advance msq
Ppl 30+ on dungeons w/o job crystal arent exactly welcome (idk if you have your work crystal but i think its lvl 20 msq)
They won't until a few quests after joining a gc
Yup, so pls dont do more dungeons
Dude they just said they’re in lvl 18 msq, they’re far away from 30 dungeons
Just something I started wondering about:
If you only used one class, and solely did MSQ;
When would you hit 90?
When you finish Endwalker i guess

probably earlier tbh
what counts as low level for that brave new world FC buff? <50?
Actually the 47-50 bump might trip them up

I'd assume that since during ARR you end at 50+, and the post aren't gonna do anything but push you way beyond the required level;
You'd hit the cap around maybe halfway through Endwalker
I'd say later Shadowbringers
The exp gain from between-campaign quests and dungeons is abysmally low, so if you only did MSQ, you'll actually stay fairly well on course. With the Road to 80 buff, you'll likely cap out far earlier, but that buff also makes it really easy to parallel-level classes using only MSQ.
I did ninja till around 70 in Stormblood then switched to Reaper, played that until EW and was like 86 by then
Are there any updated guides for PGL? All the ones I'm finding are older and not the rework.
That is what I did with War/Monk when Adamantoise was Preferred a couple of years ago.
theres a wesk alber monk vid on youtube for EW
Hit level 30 and become Monk. Think of Pugilist as your training-wheels class.
Well, yes. I knew that.
150,742,270
Amount of xp needed to get from 1 to 90
You don’t really have guides for classes because you know, they’re missing a lot
When EW released, the xp from MSQ wasn't enough to get from 80-90.
Which they apologised for.
So unless you already got above 80 by then, it's gonna be hard
how do I unlock ifrit extreme if urianger doesn't have the quest
Can I ask questions about pandemonium here? Or would I need to spoiler it? It’s a question about loot
They're not spoilers
Ah okay. So I did the first circle, and I got a helm. But when I try to get other stuff from the first circle, it says I can’t
Cause it's 1 item per week
Ohhh. Even from other circles?
I'll try that and see if it works
Ohhhh. Okay, that makes sense. Ty!
yeah you were right I didn't do gale force warning yet
ty chatter
Also of note is that it works differently between the difficulties:
- Normal: One item per floor per week, but unlimited roll/reclear attempts if you don't get what you want, clear in any order you wish
- Savage: One loot attempt per floor per week; you can roll on and potentially win as many items as drop during your first clear; you cannot roll on loot if you reclear; entering a higher-numbered floor automatically forfeits all roll attempts for previous floors; and chest spawns upon clearing are reduced depending on how many people in the party have already cleared
Good to know. I still suck at mechanics of it and die a lot, but it’s all a good learning experience
o7
how should i level as blu
Kill mobs
grind overwolrd mobs
You have a 10x multiplier on overworld mobs
10x?
It's fucking massive
it definetly is
if you have a friend, have them powerlevel you in ahm araeng
You can hit 70 in an hour or so if a friend power levels you on lv70 mobs
you'll be level 70 in like 30 minutes
can u use NG+ to replay the crafter/gatherer questlines?
best way I found was to take a friend for an hour in Amh Araeng for an hour and circle that
or is that MSQ only
Yes
took like an hour to go from 22 -> 70
whats the min level for that
1
Lv1
u just flying sardine the mob and let your friend kill em
your friend ideally is a shield healer
and hope u dont get 1 tapped by a mob
Just tag mobs with a spell and friend kills them
flying sardine?
and puts shields on you so you can tank the mobs
A spell
well any skill works, but flying sardine is insta cast and ranged
sure, but shield healer is ideal
how do i unock ahm
the mobs can't kill you if you have scholar shields on you
idk if sage shields can be cast on players who aren't in your party
They can
then don't worry about blue mage
Works just like adlo
u can for alli raids at least
yea in that case sage works too
probably even better than scholar
since e.diag is instant cast
and you can keep using it while moving, unlike adlo
is alecander required to complete post hw like that tower thing was for arr
also there is a specific spot in ahm araeng
no
no
it's not the whole zone
but you should do it
No raids are required other than crystal tower
same with Sky Pirates
CT is the only optional raid required for msq
