otherwise just trade them
the best one for blus would be aurum vale
you also can't trade during instances like dungeons
I see
Is it worth to spend blue tome for 570 gear on alt jobs ? Should I keep them for later, or even trade it for mat ?
Is it worth it to do roulettes everyday even if your role is not in need. I'm already capped in on my main, but I also don't feel like I receive much gil from doing them. The only exception is alliance raids sometimes
AIN bonus isn't worth going out of your way for. It's usually safe to ignore.
have 1 retainer that is inaccessible atm. checked my payment history for the game and have both updated my payment for the premium version of the app and the other additional retainers
If you have money just get classical
What is the most effective way to gil? retainer ventures?
So what do I do with Aphorism?
Can use it to buy crafting mats to sell
In the next patch, will there be better gear to exchange them for ?
No
No
Aphorism will stop existing in 6.2
Oh
Although you will be able to use it to upgrade the crafted sets if they hold to the old release schedule
Ok then, that currency is not worth much anymore I guess. Thanks.
You can't get Irregular Tomestones from unsync'd runs, correct?
correct
So, what's the main reason people farming the world-boss of The Hunt ?
where the 53 cooking quest location, i am at the guild
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
Hunts? Surprisingly fast way to get tomes if you find an organized group (usually referred to as a train). Also has a good chance of dropping materia exchange tokens for grades 9 and 10.
Yeah ok, I was too doing it myself for the potential materias, but I thought I was missing something. There are really A LOT of people doing it, that's why.
I mean people could also just want hunt currency for things
Like aetheryte tickets and more aetheryte tickets
Oh yeah there are also a couple mounts and minions too. Also those wing accessories.
Is it? You spend a good amout of ticket chasing the bosses all over the world, it's kind of funny farming for it while spending it on the way. π But I get that there is probably more things to buy with currency than I know of.
aetheryte tickets are only from ARR/HW/SB hunts
And? People still do those
no one does trains for those specifically.
you can just solo the A ranks, do the daily/weekly hunts, or do BLU stuff for hunt currency.
sorry, misread
hell even back in ShB you could solo SB A ranks.
took 10min, sure, but you can do it.
try it now π
and see if it's longer than when you did it in SHB
we had a stats squish
I just did plenty of bosses from ARR/HW/SB while grouping, and there are a lot of people doing it rn
the only thing worth mentioning from ARR/HW/SB hunts is the S ranks, that's it
literally no one does trains for their A ranks because they die way too fast.
Oh yeah it was S rank only.
then yeah, ofc people are gonna show up.
soloing SB hunt will take the same/longer compared to SHB time
A rank
but yeah, I haven't seen A train for SB in EU for a while
in JP and Materia, I've seen it once in a while
they only happened once or twice in EU p much
also for people who want that insane tiger from killing thousands of S rank π

there's no cost in upgrading PS3 -> 4 -> 5 right? they are using the same PS license?
But yes ps4 to 5 is a free upgrade
how about 3 -> 4 back then?
Tiger/triceratops/victor mount achievements, plus nuts/crystals to exchange for materia

Iirc I read that it was a free upgrade on ps4 version launch just like now
so in the future, it won't be free?
It was
In the future ps4 support will be dropped
That's all we know
That's at least 4 years away tho
Ty for the details, appreciate it 
So, do you get more emotes for getting Dear Leader 2 and 3?
No
Captain needs multiple unique iirc
to get dear leader I you would also get captian
do 10 command mission, then you'll get the emotes
ps3 to ps4 was a limited time deal for free upgrade, afterwards you had to pay @patent citrus
ok ty ty
Then you're fine
I'm just waiting for the new spec requirements
Well you're gonna be waiting another 2 years
and decided if I have to do PC/PS in the future
Anyone elses game being generally weird. I cant fight properly. I dont pick up xp for fighting, mobs dont agro properly
what do you mean by weird? o.O
only Blu gets real mob exp
Can you be more specific about where you are and what you're doing? That's still pretty vague.
and dungeon exp is from bosses
You also don't get mob exp for shit well below your level
I was trying to fight something and i targeted it and kept hitting it but it just stayed still until it died. dont know if its weird lag or just need to restart my game.
I think my ping was 59/60 at the time
Sometimes mobs don't move to your position, especially if they're ranged.
Still curious about the specifics.
no, he meant packet losses πΉ
even if you play with 400 ping, it won't be like that
like when you about to dc
Whats packet losses π sorry.
Packets in this context are the bits of data your computer sends to or receives from the server.
If those get dropped between one or the other points, it's called packet loss, and usually means there's some connection error somewhere.
and see how many percentage of packet loss you are experiencing
reset day
Are you trying to join a PF, because they have conditions sometimes
Have to progress through the tier again, or skip ahead using PF and give up your P1S loot
Have to beat P1S to make a listing for P2S for that week
Yes
how it works while weekly lockouts are in place
wait but how do i prog the later raids then?
You either need to reclear previous floors again when weekly reset happens, or join a party with someone who has already done so
Reclear
do keep in mind, that if you join someone else for p2s, then you are forfeiting loot from p1s
and are counting yourself as cleared p1s the moment you enter p2s
Also, once you clear a floor, it should* be a pretty simple matter to reclear it. So once weekly reset happens, you simply* knock out the previous floors and go back to progging the one you're working on.
*party finder is notoriously stupid, results may vary
quick ||how do i channel aetjher into alisaes blade||
click it
The interactive does blend in abit
kill the adds
Also the confirm button does wonders
this mission is absolute bs
how the hell ami supposed to click on this damn blade when it's not visible'
Cycle to it with the dpad
Then add intractable stuff to your target filters, or sheathed your weapon and do it
so you need these things to unlock the speed?
It spawns when thr system message says to go channel aether
Ground speed yes
It's a waste of tomes
oic

You get flight for free so literally no point in getting those
anyone do a home world transfer recently? How long it take?
instantly for me
Usually instant
Not at all
Current pentameld set stat is 3347/3496/571 without spec or food.
You merely need 3180/3004/484 to guarantee 100% HQ. With food, medicine and HQ mats
Is there puzzle solving in 14? If so is it in dungeons or quests?
hey i'm on crystal data centers pst time what is prime time for the crystal servers? during weekdays
At endgame crafting are crafting macros relevant or do you need to do it manually?
when people get off work/school?
Lvl 80 tome gear can even craft the lvl.90 crafter/gatherer accesories with no problem @fair portal
Yes people still very much use macros. Albeit longer ones. Current BiS shortest macro with all NQ mats is 19 steps. You can cut to 15 steps with HQ mats
I have i560 HQ gear and use chili crab + cunning craftsman draught but yeah I am not using all HQ mats
Materia in gear too but no pentameld
i cant afford to TP even
lol
Oh okay
Should I not bother learning manual crafting too much then?
I haven't even got to the part where crafting is useful yet. 3 weeks in and 8 mil gone lul
if i have to pentameld it'll probably be another couple weeks
It would help you to under what are the more useful skills and how they work etc. But yea for the most part you could literslly just search up macros and use it
hey when are the crystal servers most active on weekdays? anyone know?
Thats fine. Just hit the min stat required and head into the balance to find the spreadsheet with the macros
should i be using potion + food + alkahest?
I'll find it for you
oh thank you!!
[EW] Jung's Sheet of Various rotations for Endwalker
https://tinyurl.com/2xbrh5v7
@fair portal if you're ok, ill PM you a whole list of min stat rotations
Don't wanna flood here
Not really... Blue mage masked carnivals is the closest you get or if you class as Figuring out mechanics in high end content as puzzle solving
Its all from balance tho
Crystal is probably most active at around 11 EST / 8 PST. Most NA games are.
@indigo cosmosthank you
With the current global real life situation. Did they send a notice about pausing housing demolition?
yes, auto demo has been paused for awhile now
Oh ok
They made a lodestone post on it
I didn't see any notice about that
Its staying suspended
Made on the 3rd
oh π
Ty
I've been leveling AST while practicing oGCD only healingand so far the oGCD heal Essential Dignity has basically been a spammier Benediction. I assume this doesn't last? How much % of a tank's health bar does a decent EB usually do in endgame?
What does the reward "allows you to change clothes" mean when it comes to Custom Delivery unlocks?
You can glamour some of the npcs
can I put them in their underwear?
with the 6.1 changes, all housing plot that become available, whether the previous owner become inactives/relocates/etc, all need to participate in lottery? Does this mean new player now has a chance. I've been living under rock in tonberry
yeah I've seen so many empty plots in Tonberry right now
combining the demolition and OCE players moving to Materia
There's no demolition atm
I mean, the biggest barrier to entry is still going to be the plot price, so if you don't have the cash to pony up for the ticket (which is going to be the full plot price), you still won't be able to participate in the raffle.
how do i see party members i recently got partied with?
What the raffle is doing is eliminating the nonsense where people sit around spam-clicking Buy Plot in the hopes that the timer expires right as they do so but not as anyone else is doing so.
Social menu
What's more braindead? DNC MCH or BRD? my static wants me to go ranged, I main WAR I enjoy jobs with as much complexity as WAR which is none at all
Contacts button
Dancer. MCH is close but has a high speed burst, and BRD has a lot of heavy weaving periods and sometimes requires you to think about song duration to match up with things like add phases or untargetable periods of higher end content.
tyty I'll tell them I'll do DNC then
Is it possible to replay cut scenes?
yes and no
Ok epic thank you
Major cut scenes are in the Unending Journey in the Inn and House if you get the furniture
but no all
to replay full cut scene experience use New Game +
but obviously require you to play through EVERYTHING in that patch
I mainly just want to be able to take screen shots of my character in quests but in prettier clothes
ah yeh, then you'll want new game+
some areas are permanently changed when you progress the quest chain
you can go back to these areas through new game+
where is this specifically in doh/dol balance discord?
Iirc it was pinned under the questions channel
Doh/dol questions
okie found it
So I'm on the last quest, Endwalker (quest name not expansion). How long should it take?
I have 2 hours at most and Id love to wrap everything up, but I need to know if I have enough time
Did you just start it?
yes
Youβll need more time
Damnit, alright thanks
Because the dungeon and the final boss, plus all the cutscenes
if you do trusts with the dungeon, probably nearing there maybe?
super noob question but I only see endwalker on the steam store, how do I get stormblood?
buy Endwalker
sweeet that makes a lot more sense, nice graphic. thanks
Anyone have ps4 controller movement jitters when moving? Just started happening with me but can't tell why. Tried 2 diff controllers too.
wym jitters
are weapons even buyable with tomestone?
it looks like they need the alliance raid thing
which weapons
tomestone weapons
poetics weapons yes
normal radiant weapons need the tome from the normal raid
no
its from the 4th floor weapon tokens
oh
Movement* running -> walking -> running
lmao i cant even get 6 more of those before alliance raid probably hits
I got 3 more to get
idk what you mean specifically but ff14 has been shit with my wired controller with freezing inputs
try messing with controller sensitivity, i think that's in system settings on controller

with a ps4 controller atm, not via steam*
Hi how i will remove these
you need those
You don't
You move them
./hudlayout
Keep them near your hotbars
Cause it's important info
Oh yes i got it thank you
please dont remove them because they're indicators of what state your rotation is in
Read your job gauge tips
you can resize it to smaller one using Hud Layout
Tbf
Summoner job gauge is like the one that's useless outside of baha timer 
Cause it tells you the same info that your hotbars do
Yes i got it now thank you all
can you get clear demimateria from desynthing fish?
if you change a retainers class do they start back at level 1?
yes
thatsroughbuddy, ok thx
Combat retainers have no functional differences so you donβt really have a reason to
my retainer is DRG but I haven't level it past 80 so they're stuck there, if I could just swap it to something else I might be able to continue leveling my retainer, but not if they start back at level 1 that would be a silly thing to do
What is the very best gear for a lvl 90 fisher?
Their story is done at max stars
Melded i560 crafted set
If you donβt want to meld, then replace the left-side stuff with purple scrip gear
Alright thanks for the help! π
What is the least played class
I have no idea how we would know that, but if I had to guess its SMN
or BRD
SMN because its no-brain, and BRD because its 5-brain
no way to really know for sure, but if you were to go by fflogs and how many parses a job has
Those aren't good reasons
it would be nin
we don't have statistics for that, really
by fflogs you would be wrong on both counts
they are valid reasons.
"no brain" is kind of not a great reason
Still wrong in terms of pure popularity/usage
when I say "no brain" I mean its so easy that its boring to play
given that there are plenty of people who actually quite prefer jobs that are insanely easy
they are not valid reasons.
Valid but very poor
again, not a great metric, but whm has 2nd most amount of parses for healers
and is the most "brain dead" of them all
neither are by no means unpopular.
either way don't have any real way of knowing
well I did say "if I had to guess" and also its my subjective opinion so you can stuff it with your teardowns
and can only give guesses based on poor metrics like fflogs
Yeah this is basically the best we got in terms of info/data
RPR being so popular isnt surprising, of all the classes I've maxed out so far I don't think I've ever felt such a fluid playstyle on a melee
New job smell is very hard to wash off
tell that to MCH lol
It comes off after 2 years
I was under impression Dragoon was the normie bait
but its pretty low
maybe they all went reaper
They share gear so easy transition /shrug
actually yeah mDPS is just all down there lol
MCH was figuratively born in a flaming garbage can
sad days for people like me that were really excited for it pre-HW
but i guess it only really has 1-2 spots in a party out of the wider overall pool of dps
is that a pun cause they use flamethrower? π I reckon MCH are nice
they didnt get flamethrower until years later. when MCH came out it was undertuned and poorly designed, the EXCEPTION being their fun little turret pals that they don't really have any more
I mean that was the bow mage period so /shrug
I actually loved the bow mage part
Anyone got the leveling rotation for blm handy?
yeah
!faq blmleveling
how to use the nodes from books? It doesn't say any time limit
you mean the nodes from folklore tomestones?
yeah
but it doesn't say time, like in other nodes that they show it
oh, so first time just wait until they appear? ok
And you can just look those up
how long real time are 24 in game hours?
thxs
Hey Iβm back regarding my account
since yesterday no one can help me
Hi
@open coral
This is my acc
And this is what it says
So tell me
but can you regain control of it? that the question
Dude, itβs fuckinβ 14 hours later and 11pm. Donβt @ me about this now
I'm not sure what different answer you are expecting, given that you showed us the characters on that account
How is it a free trial when I purchase the game
Hello. How do I unlock these?
and the character in the picture you posted isn't listed
its very clearly not the same account
Youβre clearly looking at the wrong thing
Better pictures inbound

first one i believe is the "paths we walk" side quest in ishgard (inside the fortemps manor), second one i believe is "one final journey" which is in rising stones in mor dhona
Yep, the NG+ page on console game even links to em
I thought I was supposed to get this mount if I bought the full collectors set? I didnβt see it when i opened my mail
did you buy for ps4 or pc?
For pc
did you apply the code to your account
You sure you bought complete collectorsβ and not just complete
On that note, what's the unlock condition for the Ivalice raids NG+
This is a screen shot of my receipt
ok then you applied the code to your account, yes?
I am a new player if that effects anything
I did apply the code it gave me for the set
Finish the quests
i believe you also need to complete the
in the prima vista to completely unlock ivalice
then its likely just taking a bit to be mailed to you
Heya. I'm in the manor now. And there is nothing here.
Nier raids also need the weeklies done iirc
hm, maybe you picked up the initial quest already?
oh there's one last one 
Oh wait is it horns that give me the mounts? In my inventory I have an arion horn, grani horn, syldra horn and a Griffin horn
Yes
double check both the incomplete and complete sections of your quest journal for it. You can search the complete section for "The Paths We Walk" (make sure to capitalize as the search is case sensitive)
Yes. Those are usable items
Ok so I just use those then I can summon, that makes more sense
But you also canβt use the mounts until you get your chocobo at msq 20
I'll check but I think I had this same problem once before and couldn't find anything.
ah yeah those all are CE mounts
Donβt forget to actually talk to the NPCs too
There is no quest marker
Like, nothing here. I'm guessing that the ngplus just hasn't updated. But it been like it for ages.
you likely didn't complete the quest chain
as "the paths we walk" has several quests
if you don't have the emote ||/haurchefaunt|| you did not complete it
was grand cosmos part of MSQ or something? idr this place but I'm doing this one wiht my wife
Yes
take a screenshot of this
and post it here
It was...5.1? 5.2 something like that
5.1
One moment. Ps5 to discord is slow
they're not askign about ivalice
that's the one that will unlock your NG+
"The Paths We Walk" quest chain is under side quests
oh wait I misread, It was for #questions-and-help message -_-
Where do I get in bad taste then?
sorry
wait, can you talk to the triple triad npc?
the quest marker would supersede the TT indicator
so they have more than likely started the quest chain
but have not finished it
@leaden ginkgo and the quest list is right here, look at it
Completed section please, youβre trying to find where you left off
are the poetics gear for each expansion the most stable gear for materia melding ?
You donβt need to meld them
why not?
if you count using it till lv x5 dungeon stable I guess..
If you sync down you lose melds
poetics will last till lv 55/65/75/85 dungeons respectively.. but yeah
no need to meld till you have like 570/580 ilvl gear
Lvl cap, you donβt meld until lvl cap
cause you'll replace under that ilvl soon enough
melds do like nothing until 90
eh i just dont wanna reattach materia on crafted gear per level
you dont need materia at all until 90
So donβt meld, simple solution
Yeah, the benefit you get from materia is marginal at best for battle classes.
sell those materias for gil π
The effort to transfer it constantly between gear, even if you only did it at the 10-level breakpoints, isn't remotely worth the stat return.
hmm okay
You want to do it at the endgame point because you need every bit of power you get, but until you're on current-tier content, Poetics gear and dungeon gear will do you just fine by themselves.
secondary jobs level so fast these days that it's barely worth replacing poetics gear until the next poetics set anyway
nod
You do want to swap out applicable dungeon gear when you can/if you have it/if it's stronger, but you can absolutely get to the end of each expansion simply in Poetics gear, until the MSQ gives you gear that supercedes it. And for alt classes, you don't even really need to do that.
Ok I think I found the path.
obviously equip upgrades if they drop in dungeons or you get quest loot, but if you're blasting through potd/hoh/bozja then you're using aetherpool and then being synced to 80 & ilvl 420 anyway
Replacing your gear with dungeon gear assumes you're grinding dungeons for leveling.
which not everyone does
<-- like this guy
and doing roulettes for the pesky 60-61 and 70-71 levels, which'll mostly sync you anyway
yeah im leveling an alt job
shit sucks
but sam is a cool class and has cool glam so worth
JP peak time should be in 6 hours or so
but the DC itself is populated, so you won't have to worry about queue time even if you are queueing now
Where can I turn in EW collectables?
Assuming youβre the appropriate lvl
yeah, just get to lv 80 doh
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)
is the dragonsong orchestrion scroll obtainable in trial??
anyone know the drop rate on memoria misera ex for the mount?
devs decided to skip them
in JP they go by ra,ga,ja, etc for spells, and holyra would have been super hard to pronounce for most JP players
oh cool
is it in the patches or the base HW
Thank you everyone I have finished the additional stories section now to finish the St Edmunds socialite section
what's the most common favoured aetheryte destination? asking for your opinion
sharlayan, kugane and ishgard prob?
I just found out this feature that I can set 3 aetherytes to favoured, fam -_-
a bit too late since I've been using teleport ticket till now, but I wanted to know
you can do 3 at once? i thought it was only 1
oh really? I was just reading this https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Teleport

Yes. You can have one Return destination for free travel, and three Favored destinations for reduced travel.
Is it possible to change your characters name?
I usually use Idyllshire, Doman Enclave, and ... I probably need to swap the third one to one I more frequently go to because clearly I don't go there often enough to remember it exists.
Yes, but you have to pay for it.
are there any glowing offhand tools for DOL?
don't think so
is it possible to craft the pure white and black dyes?
no
for the dragoon quest for gae bolg, do i have to craft the lance myself or can someone give me a materia enhanced champ lance?
then how do people sell it on the MB?
its from venture coffers
you can buy it off the MB
can buy/be traded it
MB? i had someone make me a champion lance but its not working
How do you guys deal with level sync? For example, I love Reaper at level 90, but at 80 and 70 and below it loses a lot of its charm to me. Does this mean I really only want to play Reaper in level 90 content for maximum enjoyment? Is there some way I can not level sync?
Will shiba earrings come back in later event or is it exclusive?
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the βοΈ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting unrestricted party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
there's a chance it'll be rerun, given this is the 2nd time its appear in mog tome event @leaden ginkgo
@twilit arch thxxxxx
@celest quartz I tend to play other jobs if im forced to a lower level
for eureka i play RDM/DRK
So I can do content unsycned, but with no rewards? hm
chests still drop
I just want the extra buttons to press, I dont want to intentionally steamroll content :/
so blue mage
Welp, canβt have everything you want
Not sure if this was answered, but are you positive its the correct materia type and grade?
wanderer's palace, amdapor keep
I've read if I have pentameld, the spiritbond grows faster, but is it faster with any materia or does it need to be high lvl?
There are only two ways this game plays: synced to the content's level range with the kit you have at that level, or unsynced at max level with your full kit.
Any materia for spiritbond purposes @wheat plume
Grade 1/2 have higher chances of successful melding
So I used those for 5th slots
nice, thxs
is it a fast way to make gil, to spiritbond that way and sell materia?
or not worth?
eh
i think materia is kinda cheap now
crit still go for a decent amount i think tho
Crit and DH surprisingly
You can. The game also passively rewards players with currency to turn in for materia as well, and the only major rush for materia happens when a raid tier and crafted gear comes out, for the raiders who are busting out pentamelded gear for prog.
So that's when it's most profitable.

does Wu Kong appear in this game in some form other than as a minipet?
he's a boss in a lvl 70 dungeon
ah, ok π thanks
which is what drops the minion iirc
I got it from a zadnor box, seemed pretty random but wukong shows up in basically every game somehow these days
zadnor boxes have a bunch of things
I got it from a GC loot crate
at some point in time, wukong became more popular than the likes of zeus and other famous western mythical figures 
thx goku
allagan node
Aha! Ty!!
they fill the role of regular housing NPCs like mender, junkmonger and such
you can buy permits for them from the housing area NPC vendors
How do I hide the chatlog in cutscenes?
right click the bottom bar and press hide log
i havent found a way to make it so the right click doesnt skip to next dialogue box though
so that's a bummer
but if you want to take a screenshot, the hide UI button (scroll lock by default) doesnt progress it
wdym bottom bar?
to make it reappear just press enter
roger
Oceana is Materia right, so what is Japan?
Japan is Elemental, Mana and Gaia datacenters
don't have enough JP players in the discord to justify 3 different roles for each datacenter so thats why there's only 1
Ah I see, ty
i'm assuming very yes, but holos and kerachole do stack?

I don't really get interrupts/stuns
Why is it that sometimes it stops the attack and sometimes it doesn't?
!faq interrupt
I see
stuns just dont work on bosses and certain mobs rarely
Cool
Stuns can maybe stop cast bars that aren't flashing but a lot of stuff is stun immune
basically just use it when you feel like you feel lazy to move out of an aoe circle
There have been a few times where I've been caught in an AOE since I tried to interrupt it instead and it just didn't work
haukke utilizes that feature very well
Anyway the flashing thing is good to know
so, how do i get up there
there is a somewhat lengthy jumping puzzle to get to the top of the central tower in Kugane, the big one
to get on top of the lamppost you need to go there and jump down
ah i see it
You need to get all the way to the top of the tower
That's not far enough
Then jump from the roof and aim for the lamp
just be aware that the jumping puzzle is not that easy and hitting the lamp even less so
You'll need to sprint to get enough distance for the jump from the roof as well.
how far
the very top
all the way up-far

There's a vista up there anyway
There are streamers who have done nothing but doing that puzzle, trying to hit the lamp for an entire stream
not even kidding
hope you won't need to do it more than once 

i ring tp'ed to my friend that i married cause i was too f*cked and couldn't bother to do it after a few tries
If one guyβs there BLUs often self destruct and get raised by them on the post

(6.0 EX2 spoiler) what does this desc mean?
cat farm = mount farm, cause the mount is a lynx
I assume HDT means healers, dps then tanks for the order in which the roles need to stack during lightwaves
1 in 2 out means group 1 stays close during chakrams while group 2 goes far
Ty
How do I get wolf marks?
by doing pvp, they're the reward currency for that
this?
the feast would also reward wolf marks though, yes
but as Kat says, it's not really popular, getting the queue to pop is almost impossible
!quest like civilized men and women
What is more in demand for raids? Tanks or healers?

does it matter which DoM class i place my retainer as? Like does black mage do diff things than white mage that i should consider? Both are at same level and i know they can't go past my class level
ah, the quest includes the GC name in brackets so there is actually 3
well either way, it's a
at your GC headquarters
Ah yeah I just found the quest thanks
Both, and dps, there is no notable shortage on any role
but tanks and healers are undeniably fewer
Any combat job behaves the same way, but they can never be a higher level than your level in that job
so pick one you also have levels in and intend to level further
perfect, tysm^_^
Gotcha, thanks. I just finished Endwalker and have all 4 tank jobs and SGE/SCH at max level so I'm just trying to figure out where to go next
I wouldn't go by demand in that case, just stick with the role you enjoy the most
you will find groups either way
Yep! I guess the thing is I like both tanking and healing so I'm trying to find some sort of tie breaker on which to focus on first
if this is your first time doing endgame content I recommend giving both roles a spin in one of the current extremes
Is there another way to get the hairstyle "Styled For Hire" other than doing pvp? queue times are long
they're not as hard as savage but give you a good idea of the general flow of things
No, unless they put the hairstyle into one of the moogle tomestone events again
but the current one doesn't have it so that would take a while
It's mid day in eu, not a whole lot of people will be queueing
And you need 72, so yea queue will be pretty slow rn
That's good to know, I'll definitely run those first! By the time I finished Endwalker I ended capped on both tomestones of Aphorism and Astronomy so I'm trying to figure which to invest in first so I don't waste any more tomestones
since there is no weekly cap on aphorism you can just spend them however you like tbh
That's pretty dope
whats a good pair of shoes for chocobird outfit
I mean it is literally being removed in the next patch
Aphorism only has 2 uses atm, materials to craft 580 gear or just buying 570 gear

not really relevant to the question asked tbh
real
late, but
the main ways are either through frontlines (which switches gamemodes every day, and has a roulette for extra wolf marks) or rival wings (a MOBA-like gamemode)
ppl mainly do frontlines through the roulette, while rival wings is popping every day now during prime time (from about 6-7pm ST?) because of moogle tomes.
brian ricardo has some pvp guides for both frontlines and rival wings if you're interested
How long would it take for me to complete The Weapons Refrain Ultimate? Looking to get the Ultima weapons
kinda hard to answer because it heavily depends on you and your static doing homework.
There is a pf community for ultimates on light idk about chaos
That said you're looking at months of prog for ults
It'll depend on player skill too
Let's just say if your static managed to clear p4s within a month when It was fresh, you wouldn't have a difficulty clearing it
^ your previous experience with high end content and your willingness to learn and your time spent progressing (as a collective group)
that too.
And sheer dumb luck with gaols...
if even one person in your group hasn't done their homework it's going to waste everyone else's time. then again, that's why raid simulators exist.
so you can actually practice ultimate mechanics without actually having to spend 10 minutes getting to that point in game. that'll cut down your prog time considerably.
I just finished Heavensward and I'm on the lvl 60 MSQ, but I get next to no exp from the quests. Will this go on for much longer?
again also assuming youβre familiar with high end content and know how to pla your job
I dont want to look at the wiki as it typically has spoilers
Basically until you hit stormblood
Same with ARR, but it's shorter
you're in post-heavensward quests now. post-expansion quests give p much no XP so you don't heavily overlevel.
You're doing all the level cap content that released over 2 years until the next expansion
It's post expansion stuff to introduces you to SB
Oh. How many hours do ya'll reckon it'll take before I get exp? I was really hoping to hit 70 soon(I'm almost 68)
Well can't over-level what's already overleveled lol
depends if you skip cutscenes or not.
Well I'll be honest this a largely pointless goal. You literally won't be doing any content above level 60 til you enter stormblood
Nu uh
Only high end content I done is memoria misery extreme. Took me around 2 days
So you'll only be able to use those new skills in the overworld
Yeah but I'm trying to reduce the time with MSQ
Which is when?
Okay, Iβd suggest more experience in other high end current content before thinking about ultimates
Like, if I just started out. I did the vault part about an hour ago
being overlevelled doesn't mean a thing in MSQ, the only thing that overlevelling affects is the overworld.
You're a ways away
You have 5 major story patches of content to play
;_;
It would take you a very long time probably and likely not be very enjoyable if you go in with little knowledge and experience
Plus side content which comes recommended
God damnit
Lol maybe Iβll have to accept the fact Iβll never get that sweet ultima spear
And thatβs assuming you get accepted by others
Rushing to endgame is not the point of ff14
You will, eventually, whether it be a couple years or not
Accepted?
just keep trying to improve
Yeah I'm not trying to rush I just want to try Sage/Reaper
I mean to each their own but it's really not how the games designed
Do current content and get experience, youβll figure things out
I'd personally suggest clearing a savage tier on content before you think about doing ultimates, because then you'll be able to ease into the pace of ultimates quicker.
I mean just roulettes can get you there
Yeah but I was hoping to not create too wide a gap between MSQ and my main level
Too late for that though
Is there a carry service? π€
Then stop aiming for sge and rpr
But I don't enjoy my current class..
If you have to ask you can't clear ultimates
Weβve been over that
Bro I got discouraged after you said it takes a month to clear ππ
I wouldnβt recommend buying clears because people regard it as scummy and can often tell
you'll still have to learn mechanics in ultimates. a carry is kind of out of the question.
So improve in other current and high end content in the meantime and think about ultimates afterwards
I just want that sexy weapon T^T
that's ultimates for ya. they're supposed to be the hardest content in the game, so no surprise that they'll take MONTHS for some people.
The reason the weapons look good is the work involved for them
so⦠no weapon without the work.
as an example it took me 4 months to clear TEA.
It's a reward for gitting gud
Essentially what I said, yes.
you do ultimates for the challenge, the title, or for the shiny pixels. that's literally it.
Can you do ultimates unsync?
absolutely not.
there would be no point in ultimates then if you could just unsync them.
And unsync ing uwu wouldn't work anyways
But is it possible?
No
Still locked out of my account. I got the survey and problem is not fixed
RIP
Literally game doesn't let you

ultimates are meant to be the hardest content in the game. it would essentially tarnish the achievement if you could just unsync it willy nilly.
^^^^^^^^^^^
Have u guys clear UWU?
I cleared another ultimate tho I do wanna do UWU
Did it pre ew
Iβm a normie but I know what it generally takes
Okay, I'm gonna say this once
No one know what i should do?
Against TOS
Haha jk bro
#general-discussion if there are no more questions
Guess itβs time to get sweaty then
Im asking a question
heya
If you can't do current savages you're not gonna be up to scratch for ultimates
my game keeps crashing whenever i click the msq or a quest has anyone had this problem and know a fix?
More details?
Whatβs the difference between savage and ultimate?
ultimates are mechanically much harder than savage and have longer fights
More faster?
This is a subreddit discord so we can't really help you more than se support themselves if you haven't tried them ywt
savage fights are usually around 10-13 minutes at the longest, ultimates are 16-20 minutes
ultimates are faster, have much harder mechanics, last up to 17min max.
there are no checkpoints like in some final savage fights.
so if you fuck up on the final phase, it's back to the beginning with you.
Im locked out. The field where i put my id to log on. Is locked. I sent to support. They tried to help actee all good. Said they would update me and then next thing i kniw i get the survey. Nothing is fixed
so no one's had it
screenshots?
of the launcher login
your launcher.
judging from the email all that you can do is simply wait for them to respond.
But the survey is something they send when its ended
so you can input the ID but its wrong
Or did you link the wrong id to your steam account?
Cuz they just added that
And you HAVE to link an id to steam
Yes 50000 times
Well my current guess is a bad link
And we can't help you there
But mention that when you hear back from support
Β―\_(γ)_/Β―
Have you tried mogstation?
The steam linking is like a week old we don't know shit about it
my launcher does not look like that tho

Mine does
yes
mine looks like that as well yeah when it was fucked up
I just changed my password and it worked
everytime i click ''on to summerford'' my game crashes any help?
Try doing file verification thing?
or reinstall game
no error message
Tried that
yea sounds weird
I meant for syco, dont think it'll help in your case unfortunately
would contacting se get a response? it's totally a you problem though so probably won't help
never heard of not being able to change the ID in the launcher login...
Also update drivers, OS (optional updates too)
It can do some weird stuff if drivers aren't updated
i see, thx
does jackpot 3 affect mgp cards
No
Kat do u have a beta account?

I do have a steam account tho
Thats all I found on reddit
has anyone else encountered the problem where launching ffxiv through steam for the first time in a while (i last played in dec) doesn't let you link your steam account to SE/mogstation? i just get this screen
You have to connect your steam to your ff14 account
What happens if you press next?
I thought you had an se account
you currently possess one, and link it
you should already have an se account no?
You have to have one to play in the first place
im really confused as to whats the difference between an SE and steam account at this point
Now i think its linked
how do i link the two
Keep going through the steps in the launcher
SE account is your store account, Mogstation is your FF14 account
It's basically your mogstation account
SE account (mogstation) is what you log into xiv with
steam account is what you buy expansion/subscription with
so i just put in my mogstation account dertails?
Should work yes
Went to square enix global and linked with there
oh! that worked, thanks
i didn't know logging into my se account = linking it
as dumb as it sounds but :P
Well have fun in pandemonium
running the game as an admin fixed it, it seems
the account thingies are so complicated now
Any time now i just hope my oriblem gets fixed
Cuz that's something I know wasn't there in December
but if i just go from ffxivboot.exe it gives me the ffxiv launcher without steam associated so i cant log in, i have to manually go to the library and hit play there
pain
is the pre-filled ID for you the correct ID? if so, what error message comes when you log-in?
Did you try doing as Idris said and change password?
That id is wrong
I typed wrong
hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm
wait how does one link a wrong id
my process was logging in with the correct details just like hatsu did and linked after
Well that is what im trying to fix
Probably gonna need se support to fix it
Did still waiting
It's there as a security measure so it's probably deliberately not easy to change
11am uk time until 5pm
thats nice
they really need to make their launcher less ugly

Yes
check your mogstation status
Did you apply the code(s) in mogstation, and have an active sub?
what did you pay for
The game
i find the new launcher pretty tbh
well if u bought the game 1st time it comes with a 1 mont hfree sub
(though the starter edition should still let you in)
I started in 2017 but the problem with all this started after this
Okdidnt work
Steam is ass
what exactly did u pay for
The game
but what part of the game

you still havenβt answered that
I have all parts
so you bought a sub?
or did you buy expansions?
ok so what did you buy oh my
I just have to wait
should tell you if your account is active with a sub or not
My account is active
Ffxiv was just mean
Giving me hope
Iβm gonna sleep a bit
Tired
mkay
Take care

you can't compare potencies between jobs
they mean different things for different jobs

that would be BLU's Final Sting
One day, my precious, you'll be 80
yeah blu can buff Final Sting to high hells with all the various buffs it can stick
I really can't wait for BLU
But, ignoring like, Soloed BLU Final Sting, what would be the hardest hitter?
probably akh morn i guess
but in terms of non-BLU, probably one of these skills:
Monk's Phantom Rush
Samurai's Ogi/Kaeshi Namkiiri
Reaper's Communio
White Mage's Afflatus Misery
Dragoon's Stardiver
Summoner's Enkindle Bahamut
...Mh. A thought for SAM there. But righto
