Crafters can repair gear to higher than 100% durability

It just adds 100% to the current condition when repairing on your own

Oh, normal one? That might be soloable? namazuthink was thinking of savage

inland gale

looks like its in the Curning Mists

btw i did figure out whats wrong with the launcher
for some reason you need at least 5gb on Disc C to instal FF even so the main game would go on the other disc

#

So after getting the Phoenix card, is there really any reason to do open tournaments anymore?

boreal storm
#

It’s free mgp and card packs

fallen niche
#

the platinum packs?

boreal storm
#

No

fallen niche
#

just ones you get from buying with MGP?

remote lintel
boreal storm
#

Huh apparently you can get a platinum from placing first, but it’s usually just 2 gold ones

vast ferry

is there a way to try on multiple items at once

boreal storm
#

Toggle Save outfit, try on the other stuff

vast ferry
#

how do i do that

#

nvm figured it out

serene saffron
#

I have a really arrogant question but know this is not my intention:
So, I've been playing healer for pretty much my entire FFXIV experience(57 Scholar, 65 Astro).
I tried branching out to BLM, and that was pretty fun. There's a lot of thought to be had in resource management/positioning.
Now I'm trying other classes, because I don't like Astro anymore(Endwalker...) but they seem really dull compared to healers in terms of macro play
As a healer you have to DPS, rotate abilities, move around, heal your(often goofy) allies, and so on.
I don't really get the same kind of difficulty with other tanks/dps. What am I missing here?

heavy wadi
#

.... what do you mean by macro play furrow

serene saffron
#

Like, doing many things at once.

oak lily
#

well, its hard to gauge a job unless its at max level

serene saffron
#

I know everything mostly boils down to ability rotations and scripted fights at later levels. I'm talking from a level 65 perspective

oak lily
#

like, Whm at 90 is... Dia, Glare, and heal allies

#

its not complicated

remote lintel
#

healers arent made to be difficult

serene saffron
#

Which is why I aimed for Scholar and Astro :P

remote lintel
#

healing is one of the most braindead roles

oak lily
#

I've been leveling sch for the last week

#

at 77 now

serene saffron
heavy wadi
#

healers and tanks are very braindead.

remote lintel
#

dps in endgame

sleek needle
#

Dps tbh

oak lily
#

its kinda.... meh? until around 68

serene saffron
#

How come

remote lintel
#

because their rotations are longer

#

and they have to do mechanics while doing that

serene saffron
#

Mechanics? Like move?

remote lintel
#

what....

oak lily
#

healers and tanks get to pay attention to mechanics

remote lintel
#

fight mechanics

serene saffron
#

So... moving?

remote lintel
#

depends what the mechanic is

serene saffron
#

I mean you said rotations, that's abilities.
What's fight mechanics?

oak lily
#

Like Phlegethon in Labyrinth of the Ancients

#

going to the pads so you don't wipe everyone

serene saffron
#

Yeah it's honestly surprising that DPS is the 'hardest' role, I figured it's the easiest. It sure feels the easiest around these levels

remote lintel
# serene saffron I mean you said rotations, that's abilities. What's fight mechanics?

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvn3y0YV630 do this while also doing your rotation and keeping uptime

oak lily
#

someone pull up that insane Blm sheet from a few weeks ago

serene saffron
#

EXCEPT BLM

#

:(

oak lily
#

blm is probably the hardest to optimize

#

from what I understand

remote lintel
#

i heard it was monk

serene saffron
remote lintel
#

that's what savage mechanics look like

serene saffron
oak lily
#

Mnk can't break combos

remote lintel
#

im talking about endgame optimization

serene saffron
#

Well, I figured ya'll talking about endgame, but until then - DPS is probably the easiest?

remote lintel
#

i mean thats subjective

#

theyre all braindead at casual play

serene saffron
#

I suppose

#

Am I just doomed to be bored until endgame then?

remote lintel
#

what level are you

proud willow
#

It's hard to gauge something vague like "difficulty" for easier content. As a DPS, you can literally afk through most content and the party will still clear without you

serene saffron
#

65

remote lintel
#

thats low level

#

at higher level tanks rubber banding their hp is normal in dungeons

serene saffron
#

Well no kidding, yet I have hundreds of hours on this game

oak lily
#

this is a diagram for P3S

remote lintel
#

darkened fire is easy tho

#

even limit cut is easy

oak lily
#

I just needed an example

#

or this

serene saffron
#

is SAM widely considered hard too?

#

Or rather, generally*

remote lintel
#

ehhh

#

not thats ive seen

#

altho i hate sam so i dont play it

remote lintel
oak lily
#

I figured it out myself

serene saffron
#

So what's a generally difficult melee DPS? I havent tried those yet

oak lily
#

Drg?

remote lintel
#

again its subjective

#

i find sam too hard to play so i dont play it, other people find it easy

oak lily
#

ninja has the most APM

serene saffron
#

hence the generally, I just want to try out new things but leveling takes so long..

remote lintel
#

i mean i think all of them except sam are relatively easy

#

so

serene saffron
#

If I like(d) Astro I guess I like APM right?

remote lintel
#

well i havent really figured out monk yet

serene saffron
#

Oh right, monks

remote lintel
#

but at casual content it shouldnt be that hard either

serene saffron
#

Of course, even if it's just an illusion(Like rotating cards with Astro) I like the feeling

remote lintel
#

then you might like monk and ninja

serene saffron
#

We wont wipe because I casted Bole on a melee dps, but its still nice to play aroudn with

oak lily
#

Ninja needs to be practically perfect

serene saffron
#

Yeah but edgelords :/

remote lintel
#

its not that hard to get perfect

serene saffron
#

Joking, I'll give em a go

remote lintel
#

i learned the opener for savage in like 20 mins and basically got every buff window

serene saffron
remote lintel
#

everything just lines up if you do it right

serene saffron
#

Well what's a solid way to speed-level a class?

remote lintel
#

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
serene saffron
#

Awesome

oak lily
#

if you mess up a mudra you get a rabbit

sleek needle
remote lintel
#

i am speed

serene saffron
remote lintel
#

theres no faq for class comparison

sleek needle
#

That is for all classes

serene saffron
#

feelsbad

sleek needle
#

Oh like how they're different?

serene saffron
#

Oh I meant for like an actual classes comparison

#

Yeah

remote lintel
#

larryzaur has a video on it

#

idk if he made an EW one

oak lily
remote lintel
#

this just doesnt have reaper or sage

oak lily
#

I like how rpr flows

remote lintel
#

but rpr kinda brainded

sleek needle
#

Also smn is not the same

remote lintel
#

oh yeah

serene saffron
#

Core mechanics are still applicable though? Ya'll said Monk got changed but idk how

remote lintel
#

i mean it gives you the gist of it

oak lily
#

Smn is legos

remote lintel
#

the core of the classes are the same

oak lily
sleek needle
#

For others is similar, smn isn't really

remote lintel
#

smn is the only vastly different one because they made it super smooth brain and now you summon the actual primals

serene saffron
#

dots or smth

remote lintel
#

it doesnt have dots anymore

serene saffron
#

not dots or smth

#

:^)

#

Who's the dot king now?

remote lintel
#

i miss the smn effects

oak lily
#

bard?

remote lintel
#

bard probably idk

vernal urchin
#

bard still gets a lot of their damage from dots, yeah

serene saffron
#

Monk sounds pretty cool honestly

#

Starting from level 1 as DPS though :* )

remote lintel
#

monk is cool but everything lights up so it makes me confused on what you need to press

vernal urchin
#

you can level stuff up fairly quickly if you know the right method

serene saffron
vernal urchin
#

you can easily hit level 20 in like, an hour or two

serene saffron
#

I think I'll just spam palace of the dead

vernal urchin
#

that's also an option

#

i just did hunting log and fates/challenge log

remote lintel
#

i just bought a skip 4head

serene saffron
#

I think hunting log is good if you know where the mobs are. I'm borderline blind

#

bought a WHAT

vernal urchin
#

when in doubt, look it up on gamerscape

serene saffron
#

Oh wait this isnt wow

oak lily
#

it tells you where they are

remote lintel
#

a job skip

#

that they actually sell

#

on the mogstation

serene saffron
#

Alright whatever honestly

serene saffron
#

Oh and just to make sure - no class is ping dependant right?

oak lily
#

for weaving

remote lintel
#

the higher apm classes kinda are

#

like mch nin and brd

serene saffron
#

.. Monk?

remote lintel
#

no monk doesnt double weave

serene saffron
#

Awesome

narrow jay
#

monk go too fast for double weaving

serene saffron
#

I dont know what a weave is but as long as monks are in the clear of it I'm happy

remote lintel
#

you know what gcds and ogcds are?

serene saffron
#

I do!

remote lintel
#

weaving is just doing ogcds between gcds

#

monk skill speed is too fast to do 2 ogcds

serene saffron
#

Oh I see

#

I think astro has those, I'm not sure though

remote lintel
#

all classes have ogcds

serene saffron
#

Oh I meant double weaving

remote lintel
#

theyre labeled "ability" on the tooltip

#

oh

#

yeah you can double weave with lightspeed

serene saffron
#

Another reason to quit this RNG class

#

Sweet

narrow jay
warm snow
#

If you have shit ping any job is gonna suck

serene saffron
#

What can I say except I'm salty 🎵

serene saffron
#

Ping typically isnt low enough for ping-dependant mechanics

#

Blade and soul was unplayable, for example

remote lintel
#

if you have trouble weaving there are plugins to help with that

serene saffron
#

Honestly, I have no idea.

oak lily

Asphodelos gear does not needed to be pentamelded for Savage content correct?

You physically can't pentameld it

You can only pentameld crafted gear

is it just me or are shield healers significantly less forgiving if you don't know the mechanics

boreal storm

Not even CLOSE to what I'm asking.

vast ferry
#

isn't the point of a sheild healer to prevent people from taking damage

regal pawn
#

the point of a shield healer is the same as the point of a pure healer

#

make sure people don't die SleepyMew

boreal storm
#

They’re gonna take damage anyway, you just keep it from killing them

faint flare
#

Most the time you don't need shielding in casual content t

vast ferry
#

yeah but my understanding is pure healers fix people shield healers prevent them from being injured

faint flare
#

That's what your off globals are for

remote lintel
#

shield healers have plenty of regular heals

faint flare
#

You only need to shield when necessary

#

Otherwise just heal with off globals

So is it true that Thanced has to be paired with Ryne in the Trust system to use the cartridge combo?

By "spoiler tag", they do in fact mean add spoiler tags.

In a DoH meld setup, is there any reason not to replace an odd numbered materia with a higher-ranked one, if it's cheaper? E.g., the 6.05 midtier set uses a lot of Command 7, but Command 9 is currently cheaper.

raven sage
#

You can only meld so much of a stat into a piece of gear

#

So if it would make it go too far over then that's why they aren't being used

left whale
#

how2breedbirds?
do i just care about the 'parentage' or 'own'?

#

:l

pseudo veldt
raven sage
#

So technically yes you could if you don't care about waste

#

I don't remember if it's harder to meld the higher ones though

left whale
#

i c i c

twilit arch
#

technically, yes higher tier melds are "harder" to meld as the % to meld is both based on the slot you're melding and the grade

how can i fix that

is it impossible to add a time-card to your mogstation account if you have the game through steam? I gifted someone a time-card and they cant add it. just options that direct them to steam.

tell them to try a different browser/incognito mode

#

for some people, the mogstation can be a bit weird with steam and only show steam wallet if they've like gone to the mogstation thru the steam browser/link

Thank you! I will ask them to try that.

It worked. Thank you for the help ^^

well that controls the zoom and tilt

i clicked load and suddenly everything broke

#

i cant get character to first person mode

#

and different lenght of camera

#

its so weird

remote lintel
#

are you talking about in gpose or out of gpose

neon sentinel
#

out

#

out of camera settings changed because i clicked this thing in gpose settings

#

like

#

wtf

remote lintel
#

have you tried relogging

neon sentinel
#

yes

#

i restarted the game even

remote lintel
#

are you sure you didnt mess with the keybinds and changed the first person button

#

or changed the camera height in character config

neon sentinel
#

i clicked the load button and then suddenly my character locked into first player camera mode, i logged off and now i cant go to first camera mode

remote lintel
#

check your keybinds

#

if the keybind is correct and isnt working then send a bug report

neon sentinel
#

but i could always zoom into my character and get first person camera like that

#

now i cant

Record duties

faint flare
#

nothing

#

It's only for very specific duties and it keeps changing

#

Its

#

Very not useful

#

Great idea

#

Extremely poor implementation

#

Everyone forgot it existed like

#

Immediately

#

Oh and your replays don't work across patches

#

And you have to use the record ready check opposed to the normal one

#

So.yeah

#

Useless

#

No one remember it exists

#

SE doesn't really remove stuff

#

Not like it's really taking man power

hallow tangle
#

Okay i have a really odd question

#

how are the pages ordered in the party finder? o.O

#

because you open it, and theres stuff, and then raids, and then people looking for rp/advertising stuff/etc

#

so i always assumed... like the next page would continue from there

#

and be full of the None(come to my party) stuff

#

but if you hit next page, it starts with a whole different set of normal stuff, raids and then ads

#

page 2

#

o.O

obsidian patio
#

i recommend using the buttons at the top

#

to look at specific categories

hallow tangle
#

yeah but like, why.. how is it dividing thins up like that?

obsidian patio
#

I don't really understand how it works for the "all" tab

hallow tangle
#

why is that roulette for leveling on page 2, and roulette 50+ on page one?

#

why is that hades group on the page 2, when ive seen it on page 1 before

obsidian patio
hallow tangle
#

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS HOW MUCH HAVE I MISSED O_O

faint flare
#

Cause game says so

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

hallow tangle
#

its a program

#

its not random, there has to be some sort of logic to it

boreal storm
#

The logic is that it follows the category order on top

hallow tangle
#

except it doesnt

#

if you go to page 2

#

it starts over again

boreal storm
#

Roulette -> trial -> raid -> high end

hallow tangle
#

look

#

at the pictures i posted

#

page one

#

then page 2

#

it starts over

#

it doesnt just continue

warm snow
boreal storm
#

But on each page, it’s doing it in the order listed. That’s what I was getting at

hallow tangle
#

i have a question o,o

warm snow
#

And there's nothing to help

#

And the answer is we don't know and have no way of knowing how it chooses what duties to show

hallow tangle
#

so your saying no one knows why the finder organizes groups the way it does?

faint flare
#

No

hallow tangle
#

thats what they are saying

faint flare
#

It just does whatever

hallow tangle
#

actually its literally what they said

#

XD

hallow tangle
#

see?

#

Cool, moving on?

#

Kthanksbye

#

chill down, kat.

boreal storm
#

You weren’t getting what I said but whatever moving on

sleek needle
#

Vinyl was agreeing that we don't know from my interpretation

hallow tangle
#

its just wrong

#

because after all the none, theres more duties on the next page

boreal storm
#

No? It’s not

hallow tangle
#

so theres more to it than simple duty type

#

okay okay, let me do it again, ill show you

boreal storm
#

Every page, the parties are listed in the order I said

warm snow
#

Chaotic, we're not gonna be able to give you any answers

#

We have no way of knowing how it chooses this shit

hallow tangle
warm snow
#

Just leave it

warm snow
obsidian patio
#

We can't give any adequate answer, so let's move on.

Are Flagged missions just good for a bunch of squadron exp?

jade quartz

They are required to reach the next squadron rank and unlock more squadron missions/functionality

#

Next squadron rank? Don't squad members cap at 60?

jade quartz
#

Rank not level

near path
#

Oh, the squadron overall stats?

jade quartz
#

Stuff like weekly priority missions which give personal FC buff-like items, squadron dungeon runs, and the higher GC ranks up to captain are all locked behind squadron rank ups

#

Like I said, more functionality

#

Not stats

I got the rest of that, so I guess it's for a GC rank up.

I'm debating the wisdom of going all offensive tactics for command missions. Tank seems fine with that, but my healer seems to never have an opportunity to deal damage, so I'm thinking of just swapping them to defensive to just give them that extra protection. Any thoughts from people who have done a lot of those?

vast ferry
#

what percentage of the damage should i be doing in 8 man dungeons

near path
#

1/4

remote lintel
#

as what role

vast ferry
#

as healer

near path
#

Depends on the dungeon

remote lintel
#

should be doing around tank dmg or slightly less

regal pawn
#

8 man, i assume raids

#

or trials

vast ferry
#

it was a trial

#

looking at my act history i manage around 20 on 4 man and 10 on 8

remote lintel
#

what lvl

vast ferry
#

synced level or actual level

remote lintel
#

oh if its below 90 nvm

narrow jay
#

It's also a weird question because your percentage-contribution to total damage is going to depend both on your performance and your party's performance.

regal pawn
#

as long as you're doing your best

#

congrats

vast ferry
#

it been pretty consistent today even though i've run different levels

narrow jay
#

So if your party sucks really really badly, and you suck but suck relatively less badly than they do, your contribution is going to seem higher.

#

But if you're doing the best you can, and the people you're with are just GWAMM and well outside your skill level, your contribution is going to seem lower even though you're not actually sucking.

#

There's no real definitive answer for target percentage in that regard.

vast ferry
#

i was told the contributions should be 50% for the two dps 30% for the tank and 20% for the healer

remote lintel
#

you dont really count by percent at max lvl

narrow jay
#

Maybe as a very very broadly generalised notion perhaps yes.

remote lintel
#

you look at your actual numbers

just do your best

#

and don't worry about it

vast ferry
#

the dude said tanks should be doing 50% of a dps and healers should be doing 30%

regal pawn
#

because sometimes you'll have 40% as healer and think "wow, i'm so good"

narrow jay
#

But also yeah, that's some weirdchamp math that seems like someone pulled out of their pants to add up to 100%

regal pawn
#

when in reality you got 3 monkeys

#

% is dumb

#

50% of what dps

#

rdps of a dancer?
their adps?
adps of a samurai?

#

there's a lot of variety there

#

Just do your best SleepyMew

#

don't worry about dungeon dmg%

faint flare
#

Healers are doing on average over 50% of a dps damage

narrow jay
#

Either way, if you're worried about target damage-contribution percentage in non-max non-current-tier content, I'd suggest that you might be overinvesting yourself in trivialities.

faint flare
#

50-60% depending which dps you're talking about

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
faint flare
#

Servers don't mean shit

#

Only data centre does

narrow jay
#

For now.

#

And all data centers in the same region are in the same physical location, so your ping to each one will be identical.

valid viper
#

I see, what DC would be good for both raiding and just normal stuff?

narrow jay
#

Yes.

faint flare
#

Again

#

#

Doesn't matter

#

Everything is the same

valid viper
#

Okay I'll just pick one random, thanks!

narrow jay
#

Since both Duty Finder and Party Finder recruit from and broadcast to the entire data center, you won't even be limited in raiding groups by what server you pick.

vast ferry
#

you can also hop to any world you want as long as they're on the same datacenter

narrow jay
#

And fairly shortly you'll also be able to hop between data centers in the same region.

should i pay attention to overheal in act

narrow jay
#

It's a measure of how much you healed and didn't need to

vast ferry
#

a lot of my overheal comes from stuff like regen and using assize off cooldown

#

in missions where i don't have them it's a lot lower

faint flare
#

If it's over like 10-15% then you should probably look at it

#

High 20s maybe as the casual limit

vast ferry
#

this time it was 63%

faint flare
#

That's unnecessarily high

boreal storm
#

Yeah

vast ferry
#

pretty much all my healing was from assize and assylum

faint flare
#

Assize itself wouldn't give like 63% overheal

vast ferry
#

i used tetra once and aflatus once

#

the other healer did 60% overheal so it wasn't just me

faint flare
#

Then you're both just healing too much

Should we ask about your dps or...

does it count each assylum tick seperately?

they would have needed to cast more than 1 healing spell per second

thats not unlimited

!action Verraise

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Verraise** : lvl 64 RDM (2400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(10.0 second base cast time)

Resurrects target to a weakened state.

remote lintel
#

and smn can also revive

leaden ginkgo
#

just cast a spell you got the dualcast

That’s very expensive

rdm doesn't consumne mana a lot

#

just for raise

neither do the other casters

**Vercure** : lvl 54 RDM (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 350

oak lily
#

That’s a 2900 MP raise

remote lintel
#

and rdm has the lowest mobility because dualcast isnt really that great

leaden ginkgo
#

even tho it can revive at least 3 party memebers on 10 seconds

remote lintel
#

at the cost of all its dps

#

which is awful

oak lily
#

2900 mp

leaden ginkgo
#

healers die game is over

#

rdm revive

#

game changing

remote lintel
#

so can smn

#

and smn does more dmg

leaden ginkgo
#

smn have one only

remote lintel
#

rdm shouldnt be casting more than 1 raise

#

you get the healer up and its their problem now

leaden ginkgo
#

in some cases.

remote lintel
#

then in those cases you revive more people at the cost of all your dps

leaden ginkgo
#

is it really smn more dmg than rdm ?

remote lintel
#

of course it is

#

rdm has the lowest caster dps

leaden ginkgo
#

:_:

remote lintel
#

and in endgame content it doesnt matter how many people you can keep reviving

#

if youre not hitting the dps check you all die

#

and rdm has to sacrifice dps to revive

#

which is awful

leaden ginkgo
#

fflogs is a lie then

oak lily
#

You can’t really save a Panda savage

remote lintel
#

youre not saving any savage by continuously reviving

#

which is why that part of its utility isnt that great

#

for prog its fine sure

#

not for clears

#

same goes for its heal

#

you only heal during downtime to proc dualcast

#

it's useless otherwise

What are the best Video outputs to use, not for Streraming, for recording to we web friendly ...

#

mp4, or mov, or ?

steep egret
#

any platform you upload to will convert the video anyway, so it doesn't really matter

#

otherwise, check details with whatever place you're uploading to

#

they should have recommendations

barren granite
#

cool TY, also when it converts, do the algo also convert the Q settings as well ?

steep egret
#

no, it will convert however they want to convert

barren granite
#

ooo

steep egret
#

most platforms, have one quality setting per resolution

#

like, check youtube, you can only choose resolution when watching videos

#

Some platforms, have a Low data usage mode

#

where they do have lower bitrate versions

#

but as to how they do it, dunno, you'll have to try and see

#

or see if they have it documented, but no way they are going to tell you what exact codecs, Quality settings, etc, they use

#

you're better to ask around, or do some googling, to see what people recommend, usually communities figure out what works best to NOT have the platform mangle your video when they convert them

barren granite
#

So they can take poor Q, run it thru some algo filter and based on the setting i choose can upscale the Quality ?

steep egret
#

uh no, you'll never get better quality

barren granite
#

u sure ?

steep egret
#

you always lose quality, converting already compressed media, means you lose fidelity

#

its the same as you taking a video you've already exported, adn just converting it to another video format

barren granite
#

ok goittcha, itr is just a dumb conversion

steep egret
#

ive never heard of a video platform upscaling videos with some fancy algorithm or AI

#

yeah

#

so, basic rule of thumb is
A. dont use weird video output settings, stick to known good settings
B. Export video a bit higher bitrate than you want them to be on whatever platform, but dont overdo it, so when they convert them, you dont lose too much quality (at least thats the hope)

barren granite
#

and mp4 is usually the smallest of the codecs used ?

steep egret
#

as for "standards", if we're talking very generally
mp4 or MOV is fine

#

BUT mp4 and mov aren't codecs, tehy are containers

#

you can put anything in a mp4/mov

barren granite
#

ooo

steep egret
#

you want, something like h264/x264 codec for video
audio, anything like mp3/aac/ogg is usually fine

#

youtube uses those, so should be fine

#

but again, im very much generalising, not sure if things have changed in the last couple years, or whether some platforms have different recommendations

#

if you grab a video converter, like Vidcoder, they have pre-sets for youtube and other platforms

#

hmm

#

it used to have youtube, maybe not anymore

barren granite
#

ah i was using

steep egret
#

anyway, always test, try something, upload an unlisted vide, make sure it looks good to you, and ur golden

#

you cna also then download the video to see how much they downconvert it

#

and look at it with something like mediainfo, to see whats in it after they've converted

barren granite
#

@steep egret TY Verymuch. Lets C if i can get this figured on out 😄

steep egret
barren granite
#

i now have better understanding of it then 5 mn ago .. :^)

#

i guess the simple version would be, upload whatever you want, and if it looks good, then stick with that 🙂

question, why does my server have a residence area for the ishgardian restoration and my server, still has the crafting event

hot eagle
twilit arch
#

because the residence area is going to be unlocked come 6.1

#

and the restoration itself is perm content

@hot eagle why is it not on my server?

twilit arch
#

what do you mean that its not on your server?

leaden ginkgo
#

#

i don't see the crafting/gathering

twilit arch
#

yes, the restoration has been completed so there's no more build up

#

but you can still turn in collectables

Can someone help? I saw the eye where you have to look away. So when I saw the eye I turned my chair around so I couldn't see it, but my character still got hit by the effect

If you're actually being serious

then you need to make your character look away

#

not you, yourself

I have a very dumb question
I launched game for first time and cant chose between chaos and light servers
Can someone tell me a difference between them?

'Which world should I pick?'

You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.

The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.

If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.

Notable worlds:

  • Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
  • Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
  • Moogle (Large amount of French players)
  • Shiva (Large amount of German players)
    ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

I am trying to find a DPS that is relatively easy if I’ve come from other mmorpgs with little to no combos. Bard is feeling overwhelming at level 41 with all the buffs and DoT etc. i was interested in trying out red mage or dancer when I am able to, but what’s a good ARR-able DPS class to use in the mean time? I am new to the game so i want to understand the basics before HW too. (i do like BLM and WHM that I’ve unlocked, but want a break from the healing/MP management

i also have 2 broken fingers so trying to keep simple hot key combos until i can use them again

# oak quarry LNC/DRG

I thought so. Thanks! Any others you think fit? I read a little about machinist but I’ve heard mixed answers on difficulty?

oak quarry
#

MCH is alright, the burst window can get a little overwhelming but overall I enjoy it

simple shell
oak quarry
#

if you’re looking for simpler rotations I might also recommend tanking, pretty basic rotations and easy to run in early content as long as you remember mitigations

#

one thing to note for DRG is that some of its abilities have comparatively long animations so it can be harder to weave stuff efficiently at higher levels

you might also accidentally backflip into mechanics/off the platform

simple shell

#

you're not a leader SleepyMew

#

tank ain't leading shit

#

they're only in front so they can get aggro first
no shame in not being in the front as a tank either

#

you're not gonna know every dungeon right off the bat 🤷‍♀️
especially when it's your first time

is there anyone that i can ask some questions about the game? im new at ffxiv and no matter how i google some stuff i cant find answers

regal pawn

#

You can ask here. It's why this channel exists.

regal pawn
#

it do be advertised as such

proven pond
#

oh okay. i just didn't want to fill the chat with questions

regal pawn
proven pond
#

so basically i want to know, usually mmos content is all in max level but i've seen asmongold doing raids at lvl 50, doesn't it take too long to get to endgame then?

#

or is lvl 50 already considered endgame

regal pawn
#

well lvl 50 is ARR endgame

proven pond
#

ohh

regal pawn
#

60 is heavensward
70 is stormblood
80 is shadowbringers
90 is endwalker

#

50/60/70/80/90
the 5 caps, each with it's own endgame

#

aka normal raids, alliance raids, trial series etc.

proven pond
#

but what if i get to lvl 90 and i want to do heavensward raids

regal pawn
#

well then you just go do them

#

innit

proven pond
#

ye but

#

u get scaled down right

regal pawn
#

you'll be synced down

#

yes

proven pond
#

to lvl 60

#

but some skills won't work right?

regal pawn
#

you'll be effectively lvl 60

#

so all of your skills will be locked as if you were only lvl 60

#

there is an option to do non-cap content unsynced however

proven pond
#

mhmm

regal pawn
#

if you just want to slam them out for the sake of completion or easier loot farm

proven pond
#

i see

regal pawn
#

(non-cap here meaning not 90, current cap)

proven pond
#

that sounds good then

regal pawn
#

makes old shit like old relics much easier

proven pond
#

yeah

regal pawn
#

cause a fight will take 50s instead of like 8 mins per run

#

when you need like 18 of them haha

proven pond
#

one thing tho

#

i've read that msq is very important if i wanna enjoy the game

regal pawn
#

well it's mandatory

#
