yeah they aint done shit to improve the anemos crystal grinding so that the dyeable AF3's are easier to get, its absolutely stupid
Yeah i only done the weapon because o fthat
wait how'd I do that
Crafters can repair gear to higher than 100% durability
It just adds 100% to the current condition when repairing on your own
Then I’ll just wait out the time
Wait out the time? Until what?
For the duty finder
man, i would love to know where the treasure is
Oh, normal one? That might be soloable?
was thinking of savage
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
Means whoever gets the shackles of time debuff during the shining cells phase stands on a blue segment while the party is on red
I don’t do savage. Lol
Dude, it’s right by a zone transition. There can not be that many options for where to go
And there’s only one of them in the churning mists
idk fam, i have check everywhere on the map
is it this one for stand-alone version for a starter edition account?
Should be just by moghome
So after getting the Phoenix card, is there really any reason to do open tournaments anymore?
It’s free mgp and card packs
the platinum packs?
No
just ones you get from buying with MGP?
if you have the starter already yes buy that
Huh apparently you can get a platinum from placing first, but it’s usually just 2 gold ones
ye got the starter edition. tyvm

is there a way to try on multiple items at once
Toggle Save outfit, try on the other stuff
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?
.... what do you mean by macro play 
Like, doing many things at once.
well, its hard to gauge a job unless its at max level
I know everything mostly boils down to ability rotations and scripted fights at later levels. I'm talking from a level 65 perspective
healers arent made to be difficult
Which is why I aimed for Scholar and Astro :P
healing is one of the most braindead roles
So... What's a hard role?
healers and tanks are very braindead.
dps in endgame
Dps tbh
its kinda.... meh? until around 68
How come
Mechanics? Like move?
what....
healers and tanks get to pay attention to mechanics
fight mechanics
So... moving?
depends what the mechanic is
I mean you said rotations, that's abilities.
What's fight mechanics?
Like Phlegethon in Labyrinth of the Ancients
going to the pads so you don't wipe everyone
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
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tvn3y0YV630 do this while also doing your rotation and keeping uptime

someone pull up that insane Blm sheet from a few weeks ago
i heard it was monk
Also I have barely any idea what I'm looking at, I can only read and that's kind of gibberish
that's what savage mechanics look like
I thought they made monks easier?
Mnk can't break combos
im talking about endgame optimization
Well, I figured ya'll talking about endgame, but until then - DPS is probably the easiest?
what level are you
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
65
thats low level
at higher level tanks rubber banding their hp is normal in dungeons
Well no kidding, yet I have hundreds of hours on this game
this is so good
I figured it out myself
So what's a generally difficult melee DPS? I havent tried those yet
Drg?
again its subjective
i find sam too hard to play so i dont play it, other people find it easy
ninja has the most APM
hence the generally, I just want to try out new things but leveling takes so long..
If I like(d) Astro I guess I like APM right?
well i havent really figured out monk yet
Oh right, monks
but at casual content it shouldnt be that hard either
Of course, even if it's just an illusion(Like rotating cards with Astro) I like the feeling
then you might like monk and ninja
We wont wipe because I casted Bole on a melee dps, but its still nice to play aroudn with
Ninja needs to be practically perfect
Yeah but edgelords :/
its not that hard to get perfect
Joking, I'll give em a go
i learned the opener for savage in like 20 mins and basically got every buff window
Bunny ability? 👀
everything just lines up if you do it right
Well what's a solid way to speed-level a class?
!faq altlvlguide
Awesome
if you mess up a mudra you get a rabbit
Do you hve that macro'd? That was so fast 
i am speed
Got one for class comparison?
theres no faq for class comparison
That is for all classes

Oh like how they're different?

this just doesnt have reaper or sage
I like how rpr flows
but rpr kinda brainded
Also smn is not the same
oh yeah
Core mechanics are still applicable though? Ya'll said Monk got changed but idk how
i mean it gives you the gist of it
Smn is legos
the core of the classes are the same
For others is similar, smn isn't really
smn is the only vastly different one because they made it super smooth brain and now you summon the actual primals
dots or smth
it doesnt have dots anymore
i miss the smn effects
bard?
bard probably idk
bard still gets a lot of their damage from dots, yeah
monk is cool but everything lights up so it makes me confused on what you need to press
you can level stuff up fairly quickly if you know the right method
As long as I reach eventual clarity
you can easily hit level 20 in like, an hour or two
I think I'll just spam palace of the dead
i just bought a skip 4head
I think hunting log is good if you know where the mobs are. I'm borderline blind

Oh and just to make sure - no class is ping dependant right?
for weaving
.. Monk?
no monk doesnt double weave
Awesome
monk go too fast for double weaving
I dont know what a weave is but as long as monks are in the clear of it I'm happy
you know what gcds and ogcds are?
I do!
weaving is just doing ogcds between gcds
monk skill speed is too fast to do 2 ogcds
all classes have ogcds
Oh I meant double weaving
theyre labeled "ability" on the tooltip
oh
yeah you can double weave with lightspeed

If you have shit ping any job is gonna suck
What can I say except I'm salty 🎵
Not shit. It's definitely playable. But my region doesn't have its own servers
Ping typically isnt low enough for ping-dependant mechanics
Blade and soul was unplayable, for example
if you have trouble weaving there are plugins to help with that
Honestly, I have no idea.
Basic rdm advice?

Hey if I remove someone from my friend list, can they still teleport to my estate?
Asphodelos gear does not needed to be pentamelded for Savage content correct?
Help.
is it just me or are shield healers significantly less forgiving if you don't know the mechanics
It doesn’t remove you from their list, so yeah
the implication is that yes they can because they can access you on their list
report them
report them
you dont necessarily have to know the mechanics to know the core of shield healer gameplay

isn't the point of a sheild healer to prevent people from taking damage
the point of a shield healer is the same as the point of a pure healer
make sure people don't die 
They’re gonna take damage anyway, you just keep it from killing them
Most the time you don't need shielding in casual content t
yeah but my understanding is pure healers fix people shield healers prevent them from being injured
That's what your off globals are for
shield healers have plenty of regular heals
Bit over-dramatised interpretation. Not inaccurate, but definitely overselling, lol.
Shield healers play ahead of the damage. Pure healers react to the damage.
So is it true that Thanced has to be paired with Ryne in the Trust system to use the cartridge combo?
spoiler tag and yes
Ty
By "spoiler tag", they do in fact mean add spoiler tags.
"Tag" here functioning as a verb
he really just read the message and walked out

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.
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
Not an issue in this case
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
parentage
i c i c
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
I’m a somewhat new/returning player and getting interested in joining an FC but have no idea how to start. I’m in Ultros so I’m assuming I need to find one within Ultros. Any help is appreciated!

Thank you!
Is there any place specific I can go to find someone to powerlevel Blue Mage with? Or do I just put up a party finder entry and wait
Amh Araeng entrance area or the beach in Kholusia
Use fish to get aggro then have someone else kill them, can’t be in a party
find someone
Kidnap a friend
Ask in a hub city
my camera changed after gpose, now i have wider
a wider range of camera lengths and my approach does not change to the first person view. All i did is load camera settings in gpose mode that i didnt have saved
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

where do you get hairstyles for Wolf marks?
in the ship where the vendors are
so after clicking load settings in gpose my position ,zoom,angle of view, roll angle changed. How can i reset that to normal settings
just manually put the settings back?
these settings are in gpose menu or normal character settings ?
How do i unlock harvesting?
Equip the off hand
in the gpose window
the first tab
there is no options like that in first tab
yeah its not that
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
are you talking about in gpose or out of gpose
out
out of camera settings changed because i clicked this thing in gpose settings
like
wtf
are you sure you didnt mess with the keybinds and changed the first person button
or changed the camera height in character config
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
check your keybinds
if the keybind is correct and isnt working then send a bug report
but i could always zoom into my character and get first person camera like that
now i cant
How is SAM in endwalker? Easier to pkay or harder?
can you zoom in and go to first mode like that ? im confused
Just have a 2min loop with ikkoshi and raid buffs
much less strict in comparison to before due to the charges on Meikyo and Tsubame
proper looping is still a good thing to do, though
theres a keybind to go into first person and theres a setting to zoom in to go to first person
"a setting to zoom in to go to first person" can you show me please where @remote lintel
rowena's token and i got that and i have completed the infirit quest so what i do with that ?
You trade it for a weapon, it’s just glam
where ? and is it for a lvl 50 weap ?
Aelina, mor dhona
Yes it’s 50, but worse than ironworks so don’t bother
and my question is if it default setting option ?
thx
...
Record duties
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
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
yeah but like, why.. how is it dividing thins up like that?
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

I HAVE SO MANY QUESTIONS HOW MUCH HAVE I MISSED O_O
The logic is that it follows the category order on top
Roulette -> trial -> raid -> high end
look
at the pictures i posted
page one
then page 2
it starts over
it doesnt just continue
Casual reminder that we are not squenix and to take this to #general-discussion or #rants
But on each page, it’s doing it in the order listed. That’s what I was getting at
this is qestions and help
i have a question o,o
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
so your saying no one knows why the finder organizes groups the way it does?
No
thats what they are saying
It just does whatever
see?
chill down, kat.
You weren’t getting what I said but whatever moving on
Vinyl was agreeing that we don't know from my interpretation
i understand what you were saying
its just wrong
because after all the none, theres more duties on the next page
No? It’s not
so theres more to it than simple duty type
okay okay, let me do it again, ill show you
Every page, the parties are listed in the order I said
Chaotic, we're not gonna be able to give you any answers
We have no way of knowing how it chooses this shit
yes and why are some on one page and not the next? which was my question
Just leave it
And the answer is we don't know and we have no way of knowing
We can't give any adequate answer, so let's move on.

postmoogle cap
Is it possible to have two of the same FC actions active at the same time?
No
I forget, do you stop leveling in POTD at 50 or 60?
60
Potd is Heavensward content, iirc
Hoh is Stormblood
And Shadowbringers doesn't have deep dungeon
Endwalker getting one later
If someone (a friend) is in a different server can I still play with them

Are Flagged missions just good for a bunch of squadron exp?
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?
Rank not level
Oh, the squadron overall stats?
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.
Final one is for captain yes
Which increases seal cap to 90k and lets you buy the gc lootboxes which are what most people spend their seals on nowadays

So I bought the male valentione outfit but then I race changed to female. Is there a way to get the female outfit?
Buy the female version from the store
Isn’t there a way to exchange it? I don’t have the funds to get the female one and the male one is wasted now
no
Dang
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?
what percentage of the damage should i be doing in 8 man dungeons
1/4
as what role
as healer
Depends on the dungeon
should be doing around tank dmg or slightly less
what lvl
synced level or actual level
oh if its below 90 nvm
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.
it been pretty consistent today even though i've run different levels
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.
i was told the contributions should be 50% for the two dps 30% for the tank and 20% for the healer
you dont really count by percent at max lvl
Maybe as a very very broadly generalised notion perhaps yes.
you look at your actual numbers
Reason: Being abrasive and passive aggressive to people with questions is not productive or helpful to anyone. If you’re going to be active in #questions-and-help , please exercise patience and do not get aggressive with people who want to learn.
?
well that's a fair bit wonky given that by that metric, the tank is doing more damage than a dps
which is big Thonk
Maybe it's a DRK permanently in burst lol
sorry i remembered wrong
either way
% is dumb 
and it'll vary 24/7
just do your best
and don't worry about it
the dude said tanks should be doing 50% of a dps and healers should be doing 30%
because sometimes you'll have 40% as healer and think "wow, i'm so good"
But also yeah, that's some weirdchamp math that seems like someone pulled out of their pants to add up to 100%
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 
don't worry about dungeon dmg%
Healers are doing on average over 50% of a dps damage
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.
50-60% depending which dps you're talking about
what would be the best NA server to play on? want some thoughts and opinions
Highest for healers is between 5-6k vs dps 8.7-9.5k
!faq worldpick
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
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.
I see, what DC would be good for both raiding and just normal stuff?
Yes.
All
any
Okay I'll just pick one random, thanks!
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.
you can also hop to any world you want as long as they're on the same datacenter
And fairly shortly you'll also be able to hop between data centers in the same region.

should you so desire

should i pay attention to overheal in act
It's a measure of how much you healed and didn't need to
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
If it's over like 10-15% then you should probably look at it
High 20s maybe as the casual limit
this time it was 63%
That's unnecessarily high
Yeah
pretty much all my healing was from assize and assylum
Assize itself wouldn't give like 63% overheal
i used tetra once and aflatus once
the other healer did 60% overheal so it wasn't just me
Then you're both just healing too much
Should we ask about your dps or...
When only one of you could have used something and the other could have not used it
But still
what's the savage loot like? 2 chests per tier?
!faq savageloot
In a 1-chest clear, the chest received is random
First Floor:

Chest A: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer + Weapon Tomestone + Accessory upgrade material
Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer

trying to figure out where i screwed up since i didn't do that much healing
what emote is this
🤔 should i delete it then, not sure if it is allowed in this chat
No
We're reddit
its a /doze thing in bed that shouldn't be able to do in anywhere else
ahhhh okie
pretty sure /groundsit wasnt a thing before right
wait i healed 73 times? i don't recall that and the battle was 3 minutes and 50 seconds how'd i heal 73 times
is that even possible
does it count each assylum tick seperately?
i find it hard to believe my co healer managed to cast 232 healing spells in that time
they would have needed to cast more than 1 healing spell per second
Is that section "hits"
no its heals
Then that's the number of targets each heal hit
does it count assize's damage hits as well
Did the Jumbo Cactpot 10pm time is off by 1 hour?
Daylight savings
yeah it's tonight.. i think that is affected?
It doesn’t start the second it hits 10, there’s a whole thing it does when revealing the numbers
It’s saying the next one will take place next week at 10pm your time. This week’s already happened. If it isn’t giving you any rewards then you might have missed entering before the draw.
I have feeling is the daylight saving time fucking up the time.
It's changing tonight
where is a good place to farm Peiste Skin
NPC said it hasn't yet to by announced.
Otherwise, NPC will tell me I missed it if I can recall
I'll wait till 11pm
95 votes and 22 comments so far on Reddit
lol
I mean I did say Daylight savings
Sandskin and Rockskin Peistes in Southern Thanalan and also Basilisks in Northern Thanalan can drop it. Personally I would go for the ones in S Than. They’re just northwest of Little Ala Mhigo.
I want NA to get rid of DST. Annoying
It just causes so many confusion for international business and etc.

google "ffxiv lodestone server status", should bring you to the regional page for you
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/worldstatus/
but you can swap between them as desired
what to do with overflowing poetics? wonder if exchanging it with anima weapon mats is alright
i mean, who knows im going to make one in future
buy grade 3 thanalan or shroud soil with poetics from bertana and sell them on MB
or the demicrystals
i got like 50k from 2k pootics for those
as opposed to 6k for same amount for soils
recently I've been using poetics for buying gear for my retainers while leveling them up
how do i lvl up my gc?
how do i do that?
In your GC’s headquarters, talk to the personnel officer and buy a rank up with GC seals.
When someone keeps sending you fc invites, is that harassment?
Get seals from completing FATEs, GC Levequests, or daily crafting/gathering GC turn ins.
i see it now, cool
No? Did you tell them to stop sending them
So you can send someone fc invite time and time again after it expired? It’s the 6th invite now
No I ignored them
where do i find the gc levequests? also does the lower lvl fates provide less seals?
Do your GC hunting log or AIN leveling roulette

yes, highest fate that give seals should be around lv 70ish at SB area
Just a quick question re crafting/gathering gear: are the lvl 80 white scrip gear enough to level them from 80->90? I saw some guides that say not to get the accessories but I'm not sure why.
GC levequest is just any blue quests you see in various cities
you should've encounter them when you are doing MSQ
yes, get landsaint and handsaint
it will be enough to get you to lv 90
oohhh alright thanks! 🙂
just decline it
Anyone knows how to fix unable to download patches on a MacBook?
i just did a lvl 27 fate and got 100 seals rip
anyway how do i store stuff
you have retainers, saddlebag,
okay cool
I forgot, does saddlebag comes with companion or with the mount unlock? lol
Companion
cause companion is lv 30 MSQ, and mount is lv 20 MSQ

looking at P1S boss ability damage on ACT, which move is "chain pain?"
whats the level requirement for zadnor again? 70 or 71?
71
If you have a full premade party can you go in with 3 tanks on the new raid savage mode?
You can certainly try
I saw a logs with 3 tanks... didn't know youc ould do that.
full parties remove class restrictions
but idk why you would want 3 tanks
when you could just swap for a dps
memes
3 tanks would just make it slower tho
"can eight warriors clear savage"
yeah it was p2s where they did it.
What's the best way to farm GC seals? Level 80 dungeons or Innocence ex?
The aery unsync
Tons of chests and fast kills

So, I kinda wanna collect all the protag TT cards, who's the easiest guy with a roulette rule so I can beat him 255 times for Vaan?
I need to get to ward 6 in shirogane on Fraerie, anyone mind helping me to there?
are you on aether
Yep!
is rdm really a balnced job ?
Yes?
The place I need to get to is on ward 6, I'm trapped in 15 lol
talk to the ferry guy
He won't let me because I haven't done the msq yet
you need to ask someone with a house in ward 6 to friend you
It’s not unlimited swiftcast
try shouting in limsa but eh
dualcasts
I hope so
!action Verraise
and smn can also revive
just cast a spell you got the dualcast
That’s very expensive
neither do the other casters
!action vercure
That’s a 2900 MP raise
and rdm has the lowest mobility because dualcast isnt really that great
even tho it can revive at least 3 party memebers on 10 seconds
2900 mp
smn have one only
rdm shouldnt be casting more than 1 raise
you get the healer up and its their problem now
in some cases.
then in those cases you revive more people at the cost of all your dps
is it really smn more dmg than rdm ?
:_:
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
You can’t really save a Panda savage
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
oki Thanks !
For free trial
R u locked to pc platform or u can still change when u buy the game?
You can change
But in terms of the free trial itself, you can’t go to other platforms without buying the game
Bozja question: I know if you get hit by a mechanic and get a vuln stack you are disqualified for the duel. Does this still happen if you zero the mechanic and thus avoid the vuln stack?
Dying is still failing the mechanic
Dying? wut
Can’t say for certain if you mean by fully mitigating the attack
I meant zero the mechanic
aka you take zero damage from it which avoid any bad effects from getting hit by it
Hm my Cyberpunk slang confused me, getting zeroed means dying there

im pretty sure getting hit will still give you the vuln
What are the best Video outputs to use, not for Streraming, for recording to we web friendly ...
mp4, or mov, or ?
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
cool TY, also when it converts, do the algo also convert the Q settings as well ?
no, it will convert however they want to convert
ooo
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
So they can take poor Q, run it thru some algo filter and based on the setting i choose can upscale the Quality ?
uh no, you'll never get better quality
u sure ?
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
ok goittcha, itr is just a dumb conversion
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)
and mp4 is usually the smallest of the codecs used ?
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
ooo
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
ah i was using
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
@steep egret TY Verymuch. Lets C if i can get this figured on out 😄
no prob, sorry its not the simplest of answers 😄
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 🙂
rofl yup
do wt tomes count towards weekly cap or are they separate
they do

How often are new jobs added?
What about crafters and gathers?
never, they've not changed since ARR was released
well, they have "changed" but no new ones added
Gotcha. Thanks a lot
new crafters would be cool
When you target UR Minion, which part is the target ?
hello, at which point do you get your free fantasia?
End of 2.0 msq
anyone know what is expected to happen to msq roulette in 6.1
still long cutscenes?
probably
but the last two fights in Prae respectively will be split into a trial and solo duty, in that order
as of the last Live Letter

Anywhere from "damn, i wanna stop playing rn" to "sigma grindset: millionaire in a day"
You can either take it chill and just save up slowly
or grind extremes for mats or other duties for rare drops
is there a sandbox chanel i can use for testing ?
why isnt there any botany leves? (camp tranquil, am botanist)
is your BTN's level over 30 cus camp tranquil leves require that min level
yes, im lvl 39
she only has battlecraft leves it seems
im a tanker, should i go zadnor for levelling or dungeon is better?
Whichever one you tolerate the best
which is more efficient tho?
highest possible dungeon
tank has the insta-que privilege tho
Zadnor levelling is faster but dependent on instance-size/your mental capability
zadnor leveling is faster if the instance people have a brain to play around the fate scaling and use essences*
i c
which in most cases
they do not
they buffed ew dungeon exp so dungeons are better
yeah thats weird, thanks though
im at level 7ish
some people actually do zadnor on 81 onward
not me
its not good for my mental health, i have no health insurance
and i still have machinist and dragoon after this...
question, why does my server have a residence area for the ishgardian restoration and my server, still has the crafting event
ishgard restoration is permanent content to level crafter/gatherer etc. and has their own scrips(rewards)
because the residence area is going to be unlocked come 6.1
and the restoration itself is perm content
Is it possible to create mouse over macros?
@hot eagle why is it not on my server?
what do you mean that its not on your server?
yes, the restoration has been completed so there's no more build up
but you can still turn in collectables
where?
ok

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
grats
No no, you have to move your whole body
Not only your chair
My chair does move my chair
turn your whole life around
Exactly
My body was in my chair
this isn't a channel for shitpost/jokes
It wasn't a joke
there's a feature called snapshot in the game, basically as soon as the aoe circle disappears/cast bar finishes you're "snapped" into place at that point, and will still take the hit, that's likely why

If you're actually being serious
then you need to make your character look away
not you, yourself
Thank you
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?
!faq worldpick
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
Effectively none
Oh thank you
Im not very smart, forgot to check faq
Ahah

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
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?
MCH is alright, the burst window can get a little overwhelming but overall I enjoy it
I’ll try dragoon first. I am the slowest learner and I feel like a detriment to my party lol
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
As much as I want to tank i literally have no idea how to lead a dungeon properly. I mean i follow the cues on the side but these tanks i queue with go so fast!! Idek how to learn that part except experience and i feel like everyone will get impatient
well you're in luck
you're not a leader 
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
I have seen some tanks not in front so u right
True i just feel like i don’t see other new players like me when i queue
Every1 ran these ARR ones a million times and I’m just a baby sprout 🌱
😅
highly unlikely you're that bad
sprout tanks don't turn on their stance ptsd
Mentor tanks don't turn on their stance ptsd*
I have seen this and that’s the only part i did catch about tanking lmao
sprouts i can heavily forgive
I have some benefit of the doubt for sprouts, on the early dungeons at least
Ive seen labyrinth of the ancients no job crystal
Titania in shire without crystal 🙂
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
here or #beginner-lounge works
You can ask here. It's why this channel exists.
oh okay. i just didn't want to fill the chat with questions
I doubt the mods will get angry you asked for questions and help in #questions-and-help

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
well lvl 50 is ARR endgame
ohh
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.
but what if i get to lvl 90 and i want to do heavensward raids
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
mhmm
if you just want to slam them out for the sake of completion or easier loot farm
i see
(non-cap here meaning not 90, current cap)
that sounds good then
yeah
