do the blue quest so you can start at 51
it's like 15 seconds i think
It's one of those quests that you complete it right when you accept it
What Lies Beneath is a level 17 quasi-quest and a part of the Palace of the Dead storyline. There are no steps to this quest: talking to the questgiver both accepts and completes the quest. It will immediately unlock Floors 51-100 of Palace of the Dead.
should i use crafted equipment bard on pandaemonium savage today? or it would be better to use dancer to boost other that already have better eq?
question my level 65 summoner has a mix of shire and hailstorm should i go out of my way to get the accesories legs anf hat
i have 1 shire ring as well but the rest of my accesories are primal
my ilevel is 255
just run the dungeons they will drop upgrades in time
are you still going through the story?
yeah
You should be using hw crafted gear on both
You don't undergear your dancer just because its more supportive
I recommend at the minimum to get the shire weapon for a big boost in damage
past that, maybe a poetics-focused roulette or two a day to slowly replace the rest
255 to 270 will probably not be a noticeable difference to you
not sure if i should go do a run of msq roulette to get the legs once it resets or wait for the story to give me enough poetics for it
50/60/70/80 is decent for poetics
alliance raid too
alliance raid is 200-300 depending on if there's a new player
alliance raid is also good for experience if you want to level up another class
i've been told i should have the weapon top bottom and legs at minimum
i would recommend doing msq roulette daily this week anyway, to get the irregular mogtomes
Weapon for sure, but since you're story-locked it's not a major concern
this week and all weeks until patch release*
i'm on 3.5 now
irregular mogtomes can get you a bunch of cool stuff
yeah you won't see better gear until 64 in the story
with the level 63 (optional) dungeon giving i270 gear
so i prob won't be getting the poetics for a full set before sb
not really sure if i should grind poetics to get a full set or just stick with my mix of i240 and i270
well you get access to Shire gear as soon as you reach Idyllshire
you're waaaaay until the point of where poetics aren't good stuff for you
you will need tons of poetics for relic weapons later, you will need tons of it for alt jobs too
yeah but i don't have a full set
so more poetics more better
i'm aware it's better but is it better enough to merit the grinding required to get a full set just for msq content
no
I only recommend grinding the weapon due to being a big damage boost for the cost
don't grind for poetics, but they're not gonna be worthless either is what i'm saying
since weapons are your biggest decider of damage
it'll help a lot with doing the story faster
as i said i have the hat body boots weapon gloves and 1 ring
the rest is i240 blues from the msq
i was correcting my previous statement
therte i edited it hopefully it's more clear now
if your gear is not good enough for MSQ, it will literally prevent you from queueing up for that content, so unless that happens, you're fine
in my experience as a healer you can be pretty undergeared and still make the cut
yeah healers have it easy for story instances unless there's an explicit dps check
no i mean the system will just not let you press the 'queue' button
a lot of people encounter their first ilvl wall at the last dungeon of 3.0
since i've had to heal undergeared tanks before and it was a huge pain
is there a way to increase the highlighted color for combos
i cant see them sometimes when playing with drg
No
The ideal would be to remember the combo itself
does anyone knows whats the name of the music in this trailer

because youtube allows it
oh yeah
also I don't think it's Finality 
discord doesn't do timestamps in links is all
5 minutes 9 second in
I got the lvl 70 SAM sword, now how do I begin Stormblood Relic things, is there a quest I need to do, or do I just start killing stuff with it in Eureka?
!faq eureka
!faq eurekainfo
Trackers & Maps: https://ffxiv-eureka.com/
Eurekan Explorers Discord: https://discord.gg/WBXw9pN
I think it's Heroes Forge Ahead
!quest and we shall call it eureka
It may be a different track using the same leitmotifs, they often do that
a cutscene music thing
so kinda hard to say sometimes
I'm comparing with the EW soundtrack stuff I have here
yea you're right it's Heroes Forge Ahead
but similar leitmotifs do appear so I was partly right? 😄
did a quick search and it is Heroes Forge Ahead
thanks alot for the help guys
So there's a tracker, and a quest I've already done, I'll assume that just means I kill things then
there's semi-hidden quests in the eureka zones that you grab, but don't appear in the quest log
the detailed maps on the tracker website show the quest objective spots as the blue circle with a number in it, denoting the level of the quest
where's the tomestone exchanger for EW?
radz at han
How do i get diffrent battle tactics?
run dungeons with the squadron
it's RNG
but pretty good odds on getting new tactics or upgrading them
thank you.
longshot but is there a way to garuntee you spawn with a specific minion of light or does it just pick randomly from the list
random of them
darn i really don't like the hero one
Will 6.1 release in mid april or later?
mid april is the scheduled timeframe
Expectation is mid
can always change ofc
Mid-late April is the scheduled time but shit can always hit the fan
they will probably announce it during 2nd 6.1 live letter but we dont have a date for that yet either >.>
mid April so probably the 12th or 19th
Can i still get/buy Menphina's Earring (endwalker pre-order item)
anyone know if XIV has bulk buy discounts for longer subscriptions?
do dps make the msq signifcantly faster?
yes, but only for the standard sub
not really
ques get longer for dungeons by a significant amount
where can we view prices? I swear mog station isn't even showing me lol
!faq subprice
and in solo instances healers get a dps buff anyways
ah, is that the same for every region? just converted into USD?
I assume so
Basically
!faq subpriceeu
As for aus and the like idk
whats ucob?
yeah, they actually charge australians in EUR funnily enough 
Ultimate Coils of Bahamut
ultimate coils of bahamut
one of the 3 available ultimates right now
Ucob, uwu, tea
And well the new one isn't really settled but I call it dsu
(dragonsong ultimate)
Well see what ends up sticking
are there others yet for dsu ?
rofl
Whats sc, smc, and is pando like the next difficulty after extreme or? whats the difficulty ranking in ffxiv?
Sc and smc I've never heard
Savage would be the step up from extreme
The pandemonium raids being referred to as P1S, P2S etc
We previously had a1-12s for Alexander o1-12s for omega, etc
is pandemoniums separate from trials difficulty? a1-12s?
its the raid name
Pandemonium is a raid
Trials are a different thing
Dungeons, trials, raids (or normal raids) and alliance raids
These are the types of group content in ff14
Raids are abbreviated based off their series, what number they are and whether they're normal or savage mode
Dungeons don't really have a hard mode nor do alliance raids but trials get extreme versions and normal raids get savage versions
So the first Pandemonium raid would be P1N
While the 12th savage Alexander raid would be A12S
And so on
- dungeouns (dutys) have 2 modes ? regular / hard ?
Not really and let's not get into that
If this is from a video that's a plugin
12th savage? uhhh..
^
what it calls then
Idk
....
too many plugins .. tough to reemmber them all
I just know that's not normal ff14 functionality
i just want the icon thing
sounds like a quest :p
uuhhuhh i need an info grapphic

P1S
P = Pandemonium Raid series
1 = first fight(there will be 12 in an expansion)
S = Savage version, N is used for normal version
whats considered a "comparable level" for companion challenges
Within 10 levels of yourself
ty
Btw, sc means semi-casual and smc is semi-midcore iirc
oh do you mean turns? i see i have CoB unlocked but it only goes to turn 5
It's kinda like that yeah
Coils of bahamut is a different load of arr jank
So don't base later stuff off of that
whats semi midcore;;;...
Coils are a bit weird since there's only 1 difficulty and there's 13 of them
But the general principle is similar
Speaking of coils, is it easier to unsync now, and what class is best? I know you could unsync most of it before, but a couple of turns were close to impossible solo
didn't really change tbh, some turns still require heavy burst to skip mechanics
Midcore is sort of halfway between casual and hardcore when it comes to statics (raid groups) so I'm assuming semi-midcore is probably close to midcore but leaning more to the casual end of the spectrum
Midcore is phrase that is virtually never used in my experience
I don't see many people using it in game or on here but it seems like a popular enough term in static recruitment
wtf ok, whats all the terms used between the casual and hardcore spectrum lol jk you dont have to answer

People also use semi hardcore
So casual - smc - mc - shc - hc
Casual, semi-casual, semi-midcore, midcore, semi-hardcore and hardcore
Or as Kat said, those abbreviations
i read it as mediocre
But we're not talking about you cazic
can i ask help for mod issue here
"silly catagories"
We can't find a specific mod for you dude
You can ask around in other channels maybe be we don't know it
i said mod issue ..
People tend to try stay on the legal side of tos here
ok thanks
Come on, it's fun watching people hyperventilate over mods no matter how harmless 🙂
Don't know why Kat was so abrasive tbh, it's fine to ask here
no guarantee to get answers of course
He was asking us to find a mod for him earlier so I was assuming he was asking again
they can ask that too
and if they don't get an answer then it's because no one knows
Is semi-midcore mediocre or is midcore mediocre
Define "mediocre"
it's just arbitrary categories to define how serious a given group is
i dont know how to achieve hq crafting without losing my durability and/or cp
however there are no set definitions
sounds like you need better gear
im just doing quests
what's the current Eorzea Time?
my point still stands, if a decent rotation does not result in an hq item then you either need better gear or can maybe supplement with buff food
15:49
but either way, you will have to upgrade your gear at some point
cool ty
you can make it show up in game
I know, just not ingame to check
why are physical ranged so much easier compared to everything else
define "easier"
because they are ranged with no cast times
Mch has mit
phys ranged also typically deal less damage because of that though
so does Dnc
All jobs have responsibilities
but yeah, that
Physical range do most the mechanics cause they have free movement
None have positionals cause that's a melee only thing
And all have mitigation
Because it’s linked to the account
No
no other way at all?
Try contact support
No. It's like PS4.
even if i install the window ffxiv version to play ?
No
You'd need a whole new account.
Steam and windows are incompatible
You can't have both Steam and PC versions on the same service account.
ight thanks alot
i believe some people said they had luck by contacting support, but nothing you can do on your end
About a week ago
like last week?
is it before endwalker?
The last patch
i didnt know
it was during the update where there were like 3- 4 pages on reddit of people complain steam version not working
i wrongfully link my acc on accident
Steam and PC versions have always been mutually exclusive though.
You have to link it if you want to play on steam, you have no choice
yeah i link the wrong account
why you had 2 accounts and you linked the account without your character to steam?
because i made 2 acc on same email
and i totally forgot about the other one
1990? yea that has been a problem for a while
You made a mistake, we can’t do anything about it, contact support
ye like gotta link and to change password you need remember your security code
I mean
but it is what it is
You have to remember security questions for any site that has login information?
In order to recover a forgotten password
so far on other website or games i dont need enter security code to change a password
same email, 2 service account? are service account linked? i don't have 2 so not sure
It's a very common system, but of course not everyone uses it.
but thanks for the help i really grateful for it
yea on banks and some games they have it
at work we have authentification for alot of stuff, annoying but for security reasons
i really wanted to tryt ffxiv on my new pc but sadly this happen 😭
what about playstation and pc
do you find the log in information for your other account?
you could always buy the complete edition again >.>
ye but i link my trial one to my main steam account
but try to contact support first
ah
yea try to contact SE support, they should be able to unlink it, hopefully
nope, i have not contacted their support
oh they even have a form from linking wrong account
so it has happened many many times before i'm assuming XD
is there an up to date list of job quests
Which job
whm sch and smn
What does the Send and Receive thing that pops up when you mouse over to the icon next to the clock mean?
First off, the msq tracker has the job quests on it. 2ndly you can’t do ones past the expansion you’re currently in
the packets you're sending/receiving to/from the server. it's not rly a good way to tell ping.
yeah i know but i have 4 quests till i beat hw
Thanks, it was weird seeing the numbers get so high
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
the quest itself usually dont change, just the reward
i wanted to know what the rewards were since i'm level 66
if you wanna see your ping, you gotta use command prompt.

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
not sure if i'll get anything good or if i should just wait till i'm high enough level to get the spell
Storm blood only gives an ability at the lvl 70 quest
you can check the quests list on https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/FF14_Wiki
there can be possible spoilers with quest names though
the whm one at least is dated as it doesn't have the level 80-90
always get the skill immediately, some not so useful but the majority of them, that is the priority
Yeah, I used the prompt and I had a ping of 100~ which was why the send/receive thing was weird.
There isn’t one
there arent any
there are no job quests for 80-90 in ew, only role quests
they changed them to role quests in Endwalker
there are no job quests past lvl 70. it's replaced with role quests in shadowbringers.
they changed them with shadowbringers
oh
Which don’t give abilities
There is 1 job quest, for jobs at 80, but its basically a wrap up and doesn't give anything beyond a title
only the new jobs will have job quests for future expansion i'm assuming
one ShB role questline finished is necessary for progression
any additional ones are for lore mainly.
So like I said, just look at your tracker
again the tracker wouldn't tell me if i would've gotten something useful by level 66
since it only tells the next quest in the line
that's not what the tracker is supposed to do.
The only skill given for the 60-70 range is at the lvl 70 quest
Also if you’re missing something in the actions menu, you’ll see the lvl
i explicetly stated the reason i asked was to find out if i'd get an action
i now know the answer to that
And then I told you after that only the lvl 70 quest gives an ability
yes but then you told me to check the tracker
i was stating why that wasn't an option
Because that’s what you should always be doing
not if i want to know future rewards
if i'm not getting an action till 70 i might as well wait and do them all it once
I found a guide online that said to desynth everything I get from dungeon chests. However, the option is greyed out for every piece of dungeon loot I have. Seems I can only desynth craftable stuff. Am I missing something or is the advice wonky
You don’t have the appropriate crafters lvled
Ohhhh that makes sense
whats the % chance of squadron member recruit? i've done 2 weeks of challenge logs and have yet to get any recurit
To desynth everything in the game, they all need to be lvl 30
that seems weird, are you sure you dont have a bunch of them enlisted waiting for review?
nuffing
yes you do
interact with the papers on the table near the dude
Please do not ping the new player mentor role...
omg
Oh sorry
on my timers i only looked at "None"
I thought you could ask them questions...
Mb
You can, but there is absolutely no reason to ping all of us
when you can just ask the questions here
and you will likely get a response
Understood
lol yea the "None" is for current deployments you sent your squadron on, check to see who enlisted and pick the ones you like
you normally get like 5-10 recruits a week if you do the challenge logs
at what point during the home world transfer can I tell if its gonna be free or not? or basically it is still free to transfer from jp to oce right now?
think its only free to OCE right now
$18.00 per transfer
Transfers to New Worlds: Free
Transfers from Congested Worlds to Preferred Worlds: Free
bet
Noob question, if I complete a "normal" quest (like MSQ) while I'm a crafting class, do I get xp for that crafting class?
You can’t give msq exp to a crafter
Any > new, congested > preferred; those are the only ones that's free unless SE specifies otherwise
some of the ARR msq allows you to pick it up/turn in cos of jank but after ARR its not possible to pick up as a doh/dol
Oh gotcha I think I've seen the red text pop with "must be disciple of war or magic" or whatever. I'm just brainstorming because I'm about to hit level cap and don't want to waste xp. Could pick up another war/magic class I suppose
Quests will just say what jobs can and can’t turn it in
MSQ and non-DoH/DoL quests will always lock you to being on a DoW/DoM class for the turn in.
no world is congested or preferred right now and only OCE has New Worlds atm
no congested or preferred, however you can look at each world's active population on this site: https://ffxivcensus.com/
if you're curious about that
That's not accurate or a good source really
You can never get accurate population data
there's probably a massive margin of error but it still shows that a world like gilgamesh is more active than a world like goblin, which I think is fair if you take it with a grain of salt
Massive enough to make it useless
please do not use it as any kind of idea for activity
All servers are populated, OCE less so since it’s like a month and a half old
Fair enough, I'm always curious about this stuff though so I wonder if there is a good source
there isn't
I've read discussions online where people say some worlds do seem definitively more crowded than others, but maybe that was back when there were congested/preferred worlds
.
we just dont have the means to really see population numbers
Anyone's commentary on it is going to be inherently biased anyway
at the end of the day, its really hard to be on a 'dead' server
world visit and most content being cross server anyway means you have a way of playing with people just fine
err guy before was just asking which worlds were free transfers, you guys might be delving too much into the question
and he was the one who brought up activity metric
er
actually wrong person
but still, we're correcting someone anyway
i think i worded it poorly
both my dancer and bard has same crafted gear
i wonder if it would be better to use dancer, closed position to other DPS with BiS rather than bard with crafted gear
do you have to play the story for a patch to be able to play the dungeons etc?
the ones not tied to the story
if they're not tied to msq, no
barring a few that while technically are optional, are tied to msq slightly
i.e Hell's Lid
as it requires you to have completed a certain point in the msq to unlock the side quest chain
Wait so GC ranks higher than captain are unattainable?
Why are they there then? Are they new?
correct
Or is it tied to story?
Loool
then the devs decided it wasnt worth it
not true
Oh 😭😭
now we got trusts instead
What are those?
What’s the best mode pvp mode for the fastest rewards if you’re news and just want wolf marks?
the devs have stated they don't want to add ranks for the sake of adding ranks
ai dungeons
frontline
Oh is that the same as with your squadron?
so until they have something they want to add alongside new ranks, we're at capt for now
kinda
you don't control trusts, they do their own thing
don't have to tell them "yo, attack"
Ohhhh I see
so if you pull
they won't just let you die
they also have some lines for dungeons
for extra immersion and lore bits
They're also gonna add trusts retro-actively to older duties
iirc 6.1 will add them for 2.0 msq dungeons
Oh I see
and as the patches go on, they'll slowly add them for 2.X, HW and STB
Whichever job you're better at
until you can do MSQ solo (aside from trials)
Is there any GShade Depth of Field shader that blurs everything in the distance, but not the skybox?
😦 ok
in xivanalysis there is a part that says Ability Drift, what's that? I'm DRG and it shows info for High Jump and Geirskogul
it means you didn't use them asap and drifted them
Drift means you're not using it on Cooldown and it's drifting out of alignment
ideally, you use abilities at the same point in the rotation every time
Leading it to fall out of buffs
so you never "drift" it out of buffs and potentially lose a use
in a trial, how do i figure out which spell does magic damage and which does physical?
If it sounds and looks magic, probably is
During live streams i sometimes see a person who is rapidly changing the colour of his outfit instantly like a disco ball .
How do they achieve this ?
Gear set macros
"Deals Unaspacted/[element here]" - magic
"Deliver an attack" - physical
for the most part
!action xenoglossy
!action riot blade
ah wait
you mean enemies don't you 
that drift time only counts the "extra" time it took since the last time I used that same action, or does it counts from when I should use it in each burst?
I know both are the same, but if I stay idle for 10 seconds and then start all my rotation/burst, will it show drift time or not?
extra time
if the combat started for those 10s
it'll add that to it
for DRG drift time only shows for those 2 actions, or for every action if it's out of time ?
so they have 10 gearsets saved with the same outfit but in a different dye ( multiple outfits ) and they set up a macro to flip between these jobs every second ?
Those are the ones you drifted cause you didn't use them on Cooldown
yup
If you drifted other skills it would show
You install a plugin to do it for you 
Or you just know
But rule of thumb, majority of raidwide attacks are magical

Majority of tankbusters and autos are physical
ok. ty.
Plugin is a godsend tbh
im new to leveling up gatherers and im just wondering where do i get good btn or min gear?
job quests will cover you up to 50
after that you can start getting the scrip gear
ah tysm
guys when should i start focusing on other jobs? should i like lveling them equal? for example i got carpenter, conjurer and leather to lv 10
should i keep that or stay with one job and end game
Whenever. if you want the benefit of armoury exp, you always want a job that’s higher level than the others
how many weeks does it take to max lvl beast tribes
Well for the ARR tribes it depends on how many allowances you use on each one per day
But it’s basically a month (30 something days) for all the expansion tribes
I'm now level 80, haven't used any food for this whole time and decided that maybe it's time. Any recommendations for cheap food I can just buy of MB? (I play DRK, DNC, Reaper so 3 different recommendations would be great I think?)
You don’t need food unless you’re doing high end content
If you just want the exp bonus, buy eggs
Great to know, thank you
i keep getting connection to server lost
its usually fine but its happened twice on the same stage of this one quest and its really irritating
is this happening to other ppl or is it just a me problem

How can I do ultimate if nobody is around who will do it with me?
you join a static
The only static I see requires Duty Complete
ultimates are not something you can just waltz in and complete in a lockout, lol
I absolutely know that but where can I start the process
There are discords for it, or at least I know my datacentre has one
Party finder, your server's DC, looking for people on /shout, asking around your FC or joining one and asking there
Please consider prior experience, willingness to learn, and time you have to spend before doing an ultimate
but anyway yeah, it might be possible to find something in recruitment here but unlikely
Been playing the game for a while. Most characters are 80. I am willing to learn. Watched the video. Did savage. I just need experience in the actual fight.
I am not familiar with party finder or statics so trying to learn
You can always try to find a new static and try to learn together, though keep in mind that takes quite a bit of practice.
There isn't one failproof method to finding a static, you just gotta interact with people and hope that you run into the right ones
is there any pvp content that uses the normal class spells?
frontline is kinda fun but I'm not digging these spells, I like my scholar stuff
No
Pvp is balanced differently from pve
Come 6.1 they're adjusting pvp kits, but we don't know fully what that will entail
Besides giving jobs unique adrenaline gauge abilities
Different potencies, 1 button combos, roles have equal stats
ahh I see. I would really like a casual 2v2 or 4v4 battle mode where you can just fight other people with normal class layout, for fun. maybe that's not a popular idea
can you duel people?
In the wolf’s den and only there
not a remotely popular idea.
you can't fight with normal skills cause that would be broken
PvE kits are not remotely balanced for PvP
(Uses BLU)
nin and samurai would just destroy people bc they have the hardest hitting skills
now back in the day you did kinda use your pve kit in pvp, but some skills were adjusted when in pvp areas, and there were some bonus skills added to make up the balance.
Everyone HATED this form of PvP because it was horribly inaccessible for newcomers
and just messy
So they took that away and designed proper, separate PvP kits for each job.
oh nice, I guess that just makes sense
In elder scrolls online you can right-click people and duel request them which starts a 1v1 wherever and whenever you are, no changes. I found that really charming and it was great fun just dueling my friends, or challenging people you get in a spat with
and they're already making a casual 4v4 pvp in 6.1
ooh, 5v5 is pretty big but that's not bad at all
After doing DRK's class quest I have an important question: are all job quests so unexpectedly good?
no lol
unfortunately, the job quests are a mix bag of quality
since its not the same person writing all of them
imo RPR's comes pretty close but DRK is still the gold standard of job quests for many
Is there a way to manually add additional month to my subscription? I was able to do this through steam, but ever since the changes they made I can't do it anymore.
Still Mogstation
Steam payments have not changed in any way
I'm kind of confused how I'm supposed to get more flame seals to advance to private first class. I did all the provisions for the day. Next quest is locked behind first class, and other activities like the hunt board are locked to higher ranks. What am I missing?
simply select one-time payment instead of recurring
It's not letting pay through steam anymore and I was able to do that last month.
Did you do your hunting log
What does the personnel officer tell you when you try to promote
Wait you just want to get seals?
Just do content.
wow, did not know there was a gc hunting log, thank you
oh wow didn't know that either
you don't even need to do hunting log at that juncture
If they want to go to corporal, they do
yeah but they're only at private
1st class, which is just before corporal
You can duel people in the wolfs den(pvp hub)
But it's pretty unbalanced
At least for now
yeah, some jobs will absolutely demolish (like healers)
Iirc one of the 6.1 changes is changing all jobs to be about even in pvp
you need at least 2 CCs to effectively deal with a healer due to their oGCD un-CC button they can use whenever

what these 3 symbols mean?
Left to right:
FC Crest Applicable; can be put in Glamour Dresser; can be put in Armoire
so that one can't be put in the armoire.
ic, ty
Is there a way to make BLM more intuitive? I don't mean how do I know where to stand but rather. How do I know my optimal rotation while I level aside from constantly googling it with each new skill?
!faq blmleveling
when i trade items for seals with grand company, can i sell items that my other jobs are wearing ? or they are locked?
yes you can unless you hide items on gear sets
i dont want to strip my other jobs
Omg ty
how i hide them?
tick the option on the gc window
nice, ty
if you buy a story skip for an alt, can you replay it to get the msq rewards like minions?
You get the msq rewards
no, any msq rewards like that are automatically given to you
the only thing you forfeit when using the msq skip is the free fantasia
and the experience
What is the name of an ost that was playing during fight with Sadu in stormblood?
This contains spoilers.
FINAL FANTASY® XIV: A Realm Reborn™
https://store.playstation.com/#!/en-us/tid=CUSA00288_00
With time code
It was playing somewhere else as well
How feasible is it to tank with controller in this game? Or tank/dps the highest level content? Is it possible or clunky/hard?
Like when you need to take aggro of a specific mob, is it hard to select the mob vs. using mouse?
completely viable
Is it possible for someone who hasn't gotten to Stormblood content to teleport to a friends estate if that estate is in Shiro?
people play all jobs at all levels of content just fine with controller
people world first with controller
very
this game is designed around strong controller support
game is very comfy on controller
you don't select mobs using the mouse with MKB anyway
I've cleared ultimate on controller as has the gnb in my static
damn really? Even Ultimate stuff?
of course
It's down to gitting gud and finding a layout that works for you
controller completely good and viable for ultimate
a comfy setup is 90% of the work anyways
I've seen some angry forum posts saying controller is garbage that's why I'm asking. I'd love to play with controller, but changing your muscle memory takes a long time, so not sure if worth it
Yes
lliterally just bad gamers
Never trust anything you read on the official forums 
malding because they're bad
And they're full of shit
and blaming the tools
They're an absolute cesspit and joke
🤣
They're the butt of every joke
ah I see, so not different from any other game forums
about as reliable as someone complaining about lag in a LAN party 
Seethe, cope, mald
the forums are full of people who have no idea what they're talking about and it should simply be read as a sort of comedy

anyway on controller you tab target the same as with PC
Are you tanking? How do you deal with situations where you need to quickly target a specific mob? How do you do that quickly with controller?
or if you need to quickly select from many mobs in a big pull for some reason (this is a rare situation) then you use up/down to navigate the enmity list
I'm usually a dps but I play everything, they're a gunbreaker which is a tank
You tab target the same as pc
just as a MKB user would click the enmity list
Hell in hard content you rarely have more than 2 targets anyways
hm ok, I'd have to get used to that. I always use my mouse to click on enemies if I need to target something very quickly.
you mean click enemy models in the field?
This is frankly a bad gameplay idea
you should break that habit anyway
Not even most pc players do that
yes 😄 it's hardcoded into my brain cuz I've been doing that ever since WoW in 2005
There is no priority given to mobs when clicking, so clicking on a player instead is a common problem
Using TAB can be much slower if there is a lot of enemies that's when I click on enemy model
or tab targeting.
How do you know which enemy is which one in the list?
If there are a lot of enemies then it's easy to have the wrong one be in front too
If there are multiple with the same name or something
Letter icons by the names
If that's the case there are only two reasons you'd ever need to click a specific one
Either you've lost aggro
or they're casting something that needs to be interrupted
Both are shown as info on the enmity list.
oh okay
I'll try to get used to that
uhh I mean, I want to play with controller now
😄
ok so you can use the list even with controller
kbm is most natural to me, but controller is more comfy. But I feel like a complete noob who has never played a video game before when using controller
pressing wrong buttons all the time etc. 🤣
through steam? or native
Steam
that makes me wonder if FFXIV works on Steam Deck
i use one of those half keyboards and MMO Mouses, can't get use to keyboard
funnily enough, non steam version works on steam deck
i think the patch last week made the steam version unplayable on steam deck
ahh they must be trickling them out, my frnd hasnt received it yet.
you can add non steam games to it like on pc?
what really? I didn't know FFXIV has a Linux port
by design? or broke it ?
i honestly have no clue i just saw people complaining about it in forums
and i was like who brilliant idea was that
they did a thing about linking ffxiv accounts to steam and it was implemented badly

or at least people were confused about it
yea i'm pretty sure it was not intended
It doesn't
How do I make it so that a cross hotbar is shared between all jobs (always has the same skills)?
I'd put my mount, sprint, etc. there
if you go into the options, there should be box to check next to hotbar
to make it shared between job
character config > hotbar settings > sharing
tick which cross hotbar numbers you want to be shared across jobs
oh I thought that's for sharing between kbm and controller
ah no, KBM and controller settings are separated
think it only lets you change the one you currently have selected or soemthing
even hotbar assignments are separate?
i believe so
because it seemed like controller copied the kbm hotbars
it doesn't
if you setup a hotbar with KBM, it wont copy to controller
doesn't even have the same number of slots
ok perfect
do people still run delubrum reginae
yea
about how long are the queue times on average you think?
yes but not very much. You might want to make a PF or look for discord
i normally see it in party finder after resets, but it usually fill up slowly
The queue times are locked at max 10 mins
If you are in queue for 10 mins, you will be loaded in
ah thank you
if you don't go in a party, you might just go with like 3 people
and given echo buff to scale with how many players are inside
which could be yeah like 3 people
where does it come under on pf
Do you think 64 buttons (4 cross-hotbar sets) is enough for all job skills of any job?
like
think it the one all the way on the right
how would i recruit for it with party finder
twice as many as needed yes
ah i see it, thank you
think 3 was enough, the rest can be shared for generic stuff
2 is enough
assuming you're also using expanded hold and wxhb
well technically those are like, accessing other sets I think
oh really, so in combat there is no need to ever change the set by holding LB, since you have 6*8 slots available by doing the LT/RT stuff
maybe for Blu
technically yeah
though a lot of people favour switching between two anyway
having separate sets for LT then RT and RT then LT (expanded hold controls) is kinda hard to get a flow for with some things
So some player prefer to have both those sets be identical
and it just becomes a "hold both triggers" set
ah ok
how do you quickly switch between sets?
without holding LB
there is some settings for which ones you can switch between when weapon is sheathed or drawn, but I don't get how to use that
um you have 6*8 though I should mention without switching sets via lb
don't know where 4*16 came from
ah right yeah quick maths
L, R, L+R, R+L, LL, RR
no I mean like switch between hotbar 1 and 2
I thought that's what "Enable customization for when weapon is drawn" is for
As you can see in the image
or what does it do?
Expanded and wxhb controls are accessing cross hotbars number 2 and 3
yes I already have that set up, sorry I wasn't clear
my question is what is "Enable customization for when weapon is sheathed/Drawn" for?
I thought you can switch between sets like that too
customization when weapon is drawn just limits what hotbars you can use when your weapon is sheathed or not
oh hm okay
in the expanded hold controls, I show Cross Hotbar 3 and 4. The only way to switch my main Cross Hotbar from 1 to 2 would be to hold LB and press B or something then? :/
yes
We allowed to talk about mods in here? (As long as said mods don't add costumes that are available in the mogstation)
yes
Okay, cool. So, I'm getting sorta sick of the default three menu looks. Any mods that changes it up?
for the UI ?
Yeah. Cause the only three options is like grey, black, and blue.
ya it is limiting
Okay. I'll check that one in particular out. Thank you.
Can you not send mail to your alts ? 😦
Tell me you're a WoW refugee without telling me you're a WoW refugee. Lol.
I'm joking. You might not be.
As for your question, I have no idea. Never tried.
no, alts cant interact at all
That’s sad, thanks
Just tap RB
Should I level BLU to farm irregular tomestones or just spam dungeons that drop them as a tank/healer?
get blus to carry you as a tank
I understand what your problem is now
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=vOFHeZxJOgo
was just gonna say, this guy says pressing RB switches between available sets, but it doesn't do that for me
First of all, I love your pfp.
Secondly, BLUE MAGES RISE UP!!!
You want to go into the enable customisation thing and tick which sets you want to cycle between
Leveling BLU it is
I have "Enable auto hotbar switching when ..." enabled, is that bad?
No that’s fine
Fun
If you like that
like i said it limits what hotbars you can access when your weapon is sheathed or unsheathed
well I dunno what it does. But pressing RB does nothing for me. Pressing RB while running make me auto-run, that's it
but not hotbar switching
Have you swapped around your LB RB?
because LB should be the auto run button
I dunno, maybe a long time ago .... Ok crap
Tap the same button you use to hold and switch with B
Just tap it instead of holding
And you cycle through
I tried, it doesn't do anything except show the menu for pressing A B Y X
it's LB for me

something's fucked up
Something’s really fucked up
if I press "Default", does it reset ALL keybindings or just the tab that I'm on (Gamepad)?
Are you on PC? Is your controller like calibrated wrong or something?
he cant, his buttons are messed up.
Even if those were switched it shouldn’t invert your menu navigation directions
try calibrating
?
the big red one
🤣
🔴
when do npcs learn to dodge
i mean its not like you really need to cycle anyway
unless ur Blu

ah great
FFXIV programmers frack you
It doesn't cycle because some programmer thought "let's not cycle when there's no abilities assigned on the hotbars"
Hey hey not the channel for that
yes this is the right channel
anyway thanks for trying to help it was just something stupid
can lvl 1 people attend a wedding/anniversary
depends if they can afford a good enough wedding present at that level
they also have anniversaries ?
??
no
Can't sign in. Password recovery email states I don't have a square enix account. I know I do, I've purchased FFXIV and played a decent amount of it. I haven't played since the new expansion however. I don't know what to do to recover my account. My typical user ID and password I use aren't working.
real world time
what does it say on mogstation under service account status
I've tried logging in multiple times, so now it's telling me I can't attempt to log in for a while
Hello, i want to ask is there possiblity to report a whole FC for being toxic to me and make me to quit?
Hi , i cannot really log into my account since i already have the code for the game buy i cannot do much about it
Its redirecting me to that web and i don't know about some differences about 2 account on differend webz
Do i need to buy the full game to able to play it or what ?
If you do have anyideas what can i do with it please let me know
err explain?
sounds like you are misremembering the id
Report people via system > support desk
enter the registration code
woah, ok where
if game , already did this
When I try to recover my ID/Password, I get an email that states "this e-mail address is not associated with a Square Enix account. Please verify that your e-mail address is correct and try again."
on web?
hm lets see
you using wrong email that you orig. signed up for.
ok i see
thats a incorrecty circle
I have 2 emails and I've tried both, getting the same message
Make sure your email is correctly capitalized
it counts that as a new email if it isn't
uhh
none of the letters in my email are capitalized
and you're not including any?
nope
that's just to let you know about recruitment. You can just confirm for now
No fucking way
thanks

can also open support ticket if really stuck on it
Well, I've tried recovering my password too many times, so now I'm locked out for 24 hours.
how do I do that?
can you log onto the lodestone ?
still says my ID/password are incorrect
did you click any links in game
No, I haven't played in a couple months
if you are certain it is correct, and it wont let you in, call them.
How do I find the phone number?
dude, browse around the site ...w/ your mouse
I think I found it. I had to do a support ticket to get the phone number
how much of not doing any of the alexander mechanics goes throughout the raids? ive only done the first one right now and it seems like it is treated like a regular trial
Picks up a bit later
You see mechanics in monke one with the various puddles and if you don't execute mechanics you'll die
when will there be new things to buy with wolf marks?
outside of like the first two or three it's got mechanics with varying leniency for players
looks like it hasn't changed since SB
how far ahead is that?
im thinking of just going through a few with my friends
Bloodwhetting question, the wording is kind of weird; "With each weaponskill successfully delivered", does this mean an AoE skill gives 400 heal per use, or 400 heal per target hit?
fist of the son
don't ask me which number it is
oh wait, a5
but a5 onwards you see actual mechanics
go through the whole set with all your friends cuz why not, the first few are deceptively boring but then it becomes pretty mechanically intensive by a couple of the last fights
I say 'mechanically intensive' pretty leniently because it's still normal content
so youd say everything of gordias is simple like the first one in that?
oh sorry i didnt read all you said
you did say that
Yeah, roughly
what are some decent dps-affecting essences for Bozja/Zadnor/DR that are budget options? I'm running low on a lot of them
alright thanks
per target
Alright, I was able to sign in thanks to Square Enix phone support. Thanks for the help everyone!
Depends on the job
Personally big fan of beast essence with lost assassination
but yeah I'm having a bit of an essence crisis rn
also nice on the resistance elixirs
4/9
it doesn't space out weird until the 20s
lol
Superstitions on market board be pricey
someone said npcs shart being affected by healing spells was that in shadowbringers or storm blood
shart
9th sun of the 2nd umbral moon
ok he deleted
a day is called a sun and they alternate months between astral and umbral
You don’t need to heal them tho, if you’re talking msq
january is 1st astral february is 1st umbral
in whm quests you do
Because that’s a healer job quest
