questions-and-help

[warm snow]

For when you need to gtfo

[robust crow]

welllllllllllllllll rdms don't really use that much anymore

[faint flare]

Opposed to panic dodging with aoes everywhere

[heavy wadi]

I mean, no need to use displacement now

[warm snow]

Because they're they fucking boring smh my head

Y'all are no fun

[heavy wadi]

so you should just stay in melee range all the time

(with the exception of movement)

[robust crow]

imagine using displacement for dps gains

this post brought to you by ShB RDM

[faint flare]

You only go out for mechanics

[heavy wadi]

displacement gets you killed more than not in my experience

[warm snow]

Bruh finding places I could get away with it in uwu was the best

Scared the shit out of my healers

[faint flare]

my group rdm killed themselves this week with it

[warm snow]

I mean he doesn't get dps as an excuse any more but it's still more fun to backflip and I refuse to stop

[robust crow]

whenever I do uwu I'm probably playing RDM

since no despair BLM at 70 is sadge

[warm snow]

And cast time on foul

[vast ferry]

assuming level 90 who has more instant cast rdm ir blm

[robust crow]

rdm of course but that's not really a useful metric

[faint flare]

Blm has better burst mobility

[robust crow]

you can argue BLM has more mobility than RDM

[faint flare]

Burst mobility is important

As you need to move alot during mechanics

[vast ferry]

constantly spending 5 seconds hard casting is annoying

[faint flare]

See: p4s act 4/2

[warm snow]

Excuse me WHAT!?

[robust crow]

uh.......

you do not ever spend 5 seconds hardcasting as RDM

you are playing it wrong

[warm snow]

Or blm

[vast ferry]

thats what it feels like on blm

isn't fire iii like 4 seconds

[warm snow]

You have a 2.8s cast on f4 and you're usually stacking spell speed

[robust crow]

you don't ever hardcast fire 3 except in the opener

before you get fire 4, you're spamming fire 1

[heavy wadi]

it does, yes. it has more movement tools than rdm

[warm snow]

And outside openers f3 gets its cast time like halved

Hell f3 is a free weave window when transitioning

[heavy wadi]

14 (?) instant casts in a row potentially, in addition to aetherial manipulation and between the lines

[robust crow]

well it's not quite "free"

you do lose like .1s weaving during fastcast b3 and f3

but it's such a small amount it doesn't matter

[warm snow]

Idk, I don't play enough blm

[robust crow]

it's not a number significant enough to care about since it's really unlikely to make you lose a cast

but optimally you don't weave during fast f3 b3

if by "optimal" you consider BLM auto attack DPS to be worth it

[vast ferry]

is welkasbler wrong since he says your supposed to stay as still as possible

[heavy wadi]

for rdm? nope

[faint flare]

No not really

[vast ferry]

blm

[heavy wadi]

rdm benefits as a turret mage, as we've sorta said above

[faint flare]

You want to stay still to cast

[robust crow]

on black mage? no, he's not wrong, but BLMs still obviously have to move to deal with mechanics

[faint flare]

But you also have tools to move when required

[robust crow]

you have numerous tools to handle movement on BLM

[faint flare]

Like alot of tools

[vast ferry]

don't you just have your two teleports

[robust crow]

you have significantly more than just between the lines and aetherial manipulation

[warm snow]

Weskalber is a good all rounder, not an endgame parsers for all jobs

[robust crow]

lol

[faint flare]

Way mor

Your instant casts count as mobility tools

So triples, swift, xenoglossy, procs, paradox in ice

[robust crow]

2 triplecast charges, ice paradox, xenoglossy, swiftcast, f3p, t3p

[warm snow]

He is a very good drg iirc but idk his preferred specifics

[faint flare]

Someone get that sfia clip of him counting his instants

[echo stratus]

I'm having long queue times for frontline at peak time, is there a way to fix that? My fc member got a match within 5 mins but I've been waiting for 45 mins now

[heavy wadi]

make sure you have all other languages selected in df.

[echo stratus]

I tried that too but it's still taking lotta time

[vast ferry]

i know things are fsirly balanced but do some cast dps do more damage than others

[fossil trench]

Are you queuing the roulette?

[echo stratus]

Yes

[faint flare]

Black mage has the highest damage in the game next to samurai

Cause they bring no utility

[robust crow]

not quite fair to compare BLM DPS with RDM DPS since they have different raid utility

[faint flare]

Thus kinda have to have high dps

[robust crow]

BLM is a selfish DPS like samurai, they're meant to be very high DPS

RDM has tons of raid utility, including mitigation buffs, the most accessible raise in the game, and being generally easier to play

[faint flare]

More utility your job has = less personal dps you'll do

And vice via

[robust crow]

that being said, BLM skill floor is extremely low, it's very easy for RDM to outdps a mediocre BLM

only good BLMs do high damage

[vast ferry]

Is it just me or is red mages weapon a rapier with a gem sticking out of the pommel

[robust crow]

that's

quite literally it

it's a spellblade with a focus

[steel canopy]

It’s detachable

[vast ferry]

Just checking since they used a really weird name for it

[faint flare]

The gem is the focus to channel the magic

[lusty girder]

Thinking about starting a free company and I noticed that they are associated with grand companies. That is, I imagine if I start it at the immortal flames office I'll get a little "Immortal Flames" above the name in the lodestone. Can this be changed later, or should I be careful about which office I start it in

[boreal storm]

It doesn’t matter, that’s just where you’ll go to buy FC stuff

[lusty girder]

cool thanks, but I think I'd eventually like to change it to Maelstrom because it looks the cleanest. Incredibly picky I know. But if it can't be changed I'll join Maelstrom to do it

[raven sage]

You can change it

But honestly if you like one more then just pick it

[lusty girder]

ty! I like how most things can be changed in general in this game

[buoyant monolith]

Alrighty

[open coral]

If that's the case, you should have gotten an email.

[boreal storm]

Reset the password, log back in. If nothing changes we have an actual issue on our hands

[azure juniper]

What starting class should I choose for damage

[open coral]

What kind of damage dealer do you want to be?

[faint flare]

Any that's not gladiator, marauder or conjuerer

[open coral]

Anything other than Conjurer, Marauder, and Gladiator are damage classes.

[azure juniper]

Idk I’m just starting, I guess melee

[open coral]

Then pick Pugilist or Lancer

[faint flare]

Then Lancer or puglist

[open coral]

Pugilists become Monks and use fist weapons, Lancers become Dragoons and use spears.

[vast ferry]

um where the npc for the second rdm quest

[open coral]

Aleport?

[vast ferry]

i'm standing right where the npc should be

[open coral]

I think?

[azure juniper]

Ok thanks

[boreal storm]

Look in the building

[vast ferry]

when i click on the quesr guide it send me to this lookout thing

a small amount of steps but i'm sting right on rop of the job icon and no one is there

[open coral]

Are you talking about The Crimson Duelist or A Rewarding Struggle?

[vast ferry]

crimson duelist

[vast ferry]

rewarding stirggle is the third

[open coral]

Inside the building

Go down to the bottom

He's in the hospital building

Not on the top

[vast ferry]

as usually the maps in this game are dumb

[boreal storm]

They aren’t but okay

[vast ferry]

they don't show verticality

[open coral]

There's usually an elevation mark. A little ^ or v on the minimap

On the quest location indicator

[vast ferry]

there wasn't one

[steep egret]

it wont show if you're a few meters within their level

[buoyant monolith]

It says I have alot of failed attempts when logging back in after I changed the password

[steep egret]

but otherwise it will be there

[open coral]

So someone was trying to get into your account and failed.

You might want to set up 2FA

[buoyant monolith]

I can’t I’m locked out for a while

[open coral]

When you can.

[buoyant monolith]

Who was stupid enough to hack my XIV account….

[open coral]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[steep egret]

RMTers maybe

[buoyant monolith]

Rmters?

[steep egret]

they dunno if you have lots of money until they get in

[open coral]

If they'd hacked it, you wouldn't have a bunch of failed logins though.

[buoyant monolith]

I don’t have any money on my account

[open coral]

Did you click on any links in-game recently?

[vast ferry]

i'm way more than a few meters

[steep egret]

RMT=real money transaction, trading in game currency for real money

[buoyant monolith]

I have not been active in the game literally a long time

[steep egret]

then look closer? dunno, the quest markers can't not show the height indicator, its not like they set it per quest, its built into the system

[leaden ginkgo]

Where to find nodes for umbral duststorm or umbral levin

[buoyant monolith]

So I WAS gonna get back on it until I saw the login error

[steep egret]

id actually like to make some map markers larger, its hard to see the arrows sometimes

[boreal storm]

That’s just diadem weather, the nodes are in the same places

[steep egret]

especially since they're yellow on yellow usually

[open coral]

Dunno what else to tell you, man. Wait out the password lock, change your password, and add 2FA to secure your account.

That's all you can do at this point.

You could also send a ticket to SE if you really want.

But if your account is still accessible to you once you've changed your password, and nothing seems to be wrong otherwise, then there's not going to be much for them to do.

[buoyant monolith]

Also my XIV launcher never did this

[open coral]

Did you just register a license for a new platform? (PC if you'd been on PS4/5 or vice versa)?

[buoyant monolith]

I never been on other consoles only the Steam version

[boreal storm]

Press next -> I already have an account

[faint flare]

It's the recent steam link

[open coral]

Yeah, tell it you've already got an account. It's going to walk you through linking your Steam to XIV

That's a recent thing

Like, barely a week and a half recent

[buoyant monolith]

I see

Man I wish I can see my account activity lol

[hushed sphinx]

does anyone know how to setup the partyfinder role for the kupo bot? I got it in my statics discord and i keep having issues with it when I try to use the pf command

[buoyant monolith]

Man I hate to make a new account…

Man I have to start all over again crap baskets!

[solemn jewel]

You don't have to?

Just link ur account

[boreal storm]

Then get 2FA

[buoyant monolith]

It keep giving me the same failed log in attempts

[solemn jewel]

www.mogstation.com

Can u log in there

[buoyant monolith]

Same thing

[open coral]

Wait a few hours

If you keep having the same issue, contact SE support.

[buoyant monolith]

Hmm how does the onetime password works?

Steam for the save!

It automatically log me in

[boreal storm]

It doesn’t

[upper cove]

I just tested it in my server. The person creating the !pf just needs to have a role name Partyfinder

Use !help pf to see the parameters you have to key in

[boreal storm]

You still have to type your password and such

[buoyant monolith]

Hmm someone changed my password

[open coral]

So change it again and add 2FA

[hushed sphinx]

let me try that, i created a pf role but it didnt work

[buoyant monolith]

I don’t know what that new password was

[open coral]

2FA is the one time password, btw. It links an authenticator to your account.

Click the "forgot your password" button then.

That will give you your security question prompts, and email a temporary password to your registered email address.

[buoyant monolith]

Ah

[hushed sphinx]

I keep getting the same error

[vast ferry]

as a dps leveling should i do potd 51-60 or dungeon spam for 50-60

[upper cove]

@hushed sphinx try capitalising the P

[open coral]

Whichever has shorter queues.

Unless you don't care about time, in which case whichever one you like more.

[upper cove]

@hushed sphinx the command also doesn't need the brackets

E.g. !pf 4man 1/1/2 18mar 5pm gmt+8 test test

Or simply !pf 4man expert roulette

[hushed sphinx]

WOW IT WORKED

im soo blown rn

[upper cove]

The bot is smart enough to split the number of roles with standard party comps

I tested with 4man 8man and 24man

[vast ferry]

is there a good rdm guide out there?

[upper cove]

Number checks out

[open coral]

!faq rdm50

[zinc orbit]

Level 50 Beginner Infographic

[boreal storm]

It’s basically this for the entire game

[buoyant monolith]

And now it wants me to activate my games add on but I want to use the free version

[open coral]

And then The Balance should have a 90 rotation guide

[buoyant monolith]

Aaaaaah!

[upper cove]

@hushed sphinx alternatively, a bot with more functions i use is called Apollo Bot. A quick Google should bring you there. The kupo one is useful for quick recruitment. Apollo has reminders and stuff

[open coral]

Have you ever had the paid version of the game?

If so, you can't go back to the trial.

[vast ferry]

don't you get stuff like verholy before then

[open coral]

Verholy/Verflare are basically just finishers for your melee combo

[boreal storm]

And those just go over veraero/verthunder

[buoyant monolith]

I never activate the paid version I always stick to the free version

[open coral]

Does your account status show as (Free Trial) on the Mogstation?

[upper cove]

@vast ferry if you want one for leveling, check out weskalber 1 - 80, he hasn't done one for 90 but most stuff in the 80 still applies

[boreal storm]

Not much changed gameplay wise

[open coral]

RDM isn't really that complicated of a class tbh

[open coral]

Build black/white > melee combo > repeat

[upper cove]

Or what the rest said is right, look at balance and see how 90 works. You're just given the various finishers as you level

[faint flare]

RDM doesn't change from 50-90, you just get extenders of your melee combo and upgrades

[open coral]

Make sure you're using the Steam free trial launcher, not the paid launcher.

[faint flare]

And your burst with Manafaction and Embolden

[buoyant monolith]

That is what I’m using

[open coral]

Then you shouldn't be getting a prompt to register your game.

[buoyant monolith]

Ikr that’s weird

It should recognize me using the free version

Wtf XIV

I did not activate the product code!

[buoyant monolith]

This is what I only have on my XIV dlc that I never activated

[boreal storm]

You can take screenshots dude

Just making it simpler for later

[open coral]

I'm talking about the Mogstation. What do you see when you look under your Service Account status.

What you see on Steam is irrelevant.

[surreal anvil]

it looks like you bought starter edition though?

[buoyant monolith]

But I never Activate it

[open coral]

See where it says "Account Type Standard" on my screenshot?

[surreal anvil]

are you playing the steam version of the trial?

[open coral]

What does it say in that field on your Mogstation?

[buoyant monolith]

Weird

[surreal anvil]

i'm not sure if the steam client linking like a week or two ago might have automatically registered your Starter edition

[open coral]

Okay.

Good

No, he's still on free trial.

That's good.

That means you're just probably trying to use the wrong launcher.

That's the only reason it would trigger the "please register your game"

[buoyant monolith]

How do open the trial launcher?

[steep egret]

free trial is on steam

[solemn jewel]

Steam product page, demo

[surreal anvil]

its a separate version / download

[faint flare]

Listed as demo on steam

[steep egret]

use that one

[boreal storm]

It’s the one labeled free trial

[buoyant monolith]

Alrighty

[buoyant monolith]

Trying to download trial but it won’t open

Odd

[boreal storm]

Wouldn’t it already be in your library if you used it before

[hot eagle]

probably cant download the trial launcher on steam since you own the starter on your account even if you didnt used/activated the key yet

[buoyant monolith]

Bruh

[steep egret]

fairly sure you should be able to login to a free trial account through the normal launcher

the launchers are identical

[buoyant monolith]

Basically I’m in a real pickle

[open coral]

As long as the key isn't activated, he should still be able to use the trial launcher.

[twilit arch]

yes but no

trial users get an error

[hot eagle]

yeah but he cant redownload the trial again from the steam account where he owns the starter

[open coral]

Again - as long as he hasn't used the key, which we know he hasn't, he should still be eligible to download the trial launcher.

[buoyant monolith]

Why does it keep showing the product activation key aaaah!

[open coral]

Just like the PC version, the key doesn't link to a paid account until you register it on the mogstation.

Because clearly the system is conspiring against you

[buoyant monolith]

What will happen if I use the activation key on the launcher but not the site?

[boreal storm]

You register the key

[open coral]

That registers the key to your account and you're locked into the paid version.

Using the key on the launcher is the same as using it on the site.

[tulip chasm]

!faq quicklauncher

[zinc orbit]

Official Launcher Giving you Trouble on Updates?

Try this alternative 3rd party launcher

[tulip chasm]

maybe this would help lol

[open coral]

Not sure that's an option for trial users

Or people who want to stay trial users.

[tulip chasm]

i have logged in with a trial account with that

[open coral]

Could be worth a shot then.

[buoyant monolith]

Will it link with Steam if I install it

[open coral]

The quicklauncher? Yeah. It works for Steam

[manic sail]

Hi there! Has anyone had luck with getting a keyboard and mouse to work for the launcher in the ps5 version of the game? Both work just fine once I'm logged in and the keyboard works in the launcher but I have to use the controller to click in each of the fields (i.e. ID, password, etc.).

[fringe reef]

where is the Dwarf beast tribe quests located? I don't remember where are they even tho I did the dailies 4 hours ago xd

[twilit arch]

they're in lakeland

[open coral]

Not something I have direct experience with, but that sounds like an issue with your PS5 settings.

[fringe reef]

aah thank you

[steep egret]

you could try editing the config file for the launcher, to trick it into going straight to the login screen

because right now it thinkgs its not setup, at least it sounds like it

[open coral]

Check the Devices configuration and make sure it's recognizing your keyboard and mouse.

[surreal anvil]

i believe you can also use tab to get to each field as well

[buoyant monolith]

Do I have to install it in the same folder as XIV?

[steep egret]

in C:\Users\Username\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn
edit file called FFXIV_BOOT.cfg in notepad, and make sure StartupCompleted 1 is there
if its zero, then change it to 1

[tulip chasm]

no just launch it

[buoyant monolith]

Ah

[steep egret]

this gets past the prompt to register the game, or start a free trial account, not sure if it works for the key prompt thou

[manic sail]

Can device configuration be accessed from the launcher? When I click on the settings cog the only option seems to be to change between light and dark themese.

[tulip chasm]

btw

[manic sail]

Once I'm logged in, however, I have access to the normal settings and everything works fine

[tulip chasm]

dont talk about the launcher in-game

[open coral]

Not in the launcher. For your PS5 in the system settings. Make sure it's recognizing both your keyboard and your mouse.

[buoyant monolith]

I mainly use notepad double +

[steep egret]

same 🙂

[buoyant monolith]

Now I’m getting a Japanese error code for XIV launch

Weird

[open coral]

The Japanese just says "Final Fantasy XIV has encountered an error."

Aurum Vale with all BLU party.

Like, 5 minutes?

[boreal storm]

1-2 min

[open coral]

It's fast.

It takes longer than 1-2 minutes to run the entire length of the dungeons without having to attack anything lol

But yes

Ultravibe + Missile + Kamikaze

[buoyant monolith]

Yeee the confit worked!

[steep egret]

the config change? nice!

i was skeptical

[buoyant monolith]

Now it’s finding the lates version of the game

[steep egret]

ok, well hopefully it goes all the way

[vast ferry]

is smn a selfish dps?

[steep egret]

so the problem, is the launcher, isn't the "free trial" launcher, my suspicion, is there is a different file in the ff14 folders, which says if its free trial or not
and if that doesn't say it is, the launcher, just prompts for a licensed account, and thats why it asks for a key
however, if you tell the launcher, its already setup, in theory, it should let you login with any legitimate account, even a free trial

[buoyant monolith]

It gave me a patch error

So it’s all good

[steep egret]

oook, wierd

do you mod the game at all

textools?

[buoyant monolith]

I have to reinstall textools

[steep egret]

uh yea, textools, you are supposed to remove mods before patching

it can and will break patches

[buoyant monolith]

Textools is not reinstalled XIV yet

[steep egret]

but you're updating an install that had textools applied yes?

[twilit arch]

no, they have searing light and raise as their group utility

[buoyant monolith]

It uninstalled it self when XIV got corrupted when it was on the micro SD card

Sense I’m reinstalling XIV

The textools comes later

[steep egret]

textools uninstalled itself, ok, the app, or you mean the actual data in the game files?

so are you working with a clean install of ff14?

or are any files leftover from when it was modded

if so, then do a clean reinstall

or use the xivlauncher to do an integrity check/repair

not sure if textools also has a repair option

[buoyant monolith]

Just the app gave that error code

[steep egret]

if you're still using game files from when it was modded, even textools removing itself can still leave the game files broken

so yeah, do a repair, or a full reinstall

[buoyant monolith]

The patch is already installing

[steep egret]

its installing, but had an error???

im confused

[buoyant monolith]

Ye

[steep egret]

i would definitely run an integrity check with the xivlauncher

last thing you want is to think the game is fine

but find it crashes when entering a certain area in a months time

happened to a friend of mine

id also advise, moving away from textools and use Penumbra instead, since it doesn't modify game files directly its way safer

[buoyant monolith]

I only use textools to mod the avatar body/outfit but people won’t see the model swap

[steep egret]

yea, penumbra can do the same thing

but it does it as a dalamud plugin, in xivlauncher

and can accept textools mods and use them

but it applies them in memory, without modifying game files at all

[buoyant monolith]

I see

[steep egret]

all the mods i have loaded in Penumbra, are textools mods

even if their mod pages dont say it, almost all textools mods work in Penumbra

[regal pawn]

biggest benefit of Penumbra
live loading
so you don't have to relaunch the game

[vast ferry]

about when do i unlock appartments in sb

[steep egret]

yeah

you can also make mods only apply to certain characters only

can't do that with textools

[twilit arch]

you can unlock shirogane when you enter kugane, which is after the lv 61 dungeon @vast ferry

[sacred spear]

Hey guys, quick question. I was planning to use a macro to cast Aspected Benefic on my tank. Something like:
/ac Aspect Benefic <2>

Was also thinking about a macro to cast the cards, one for the tank and one for the ranged. My question is if macros mess up with rotation, some people told me that macros cant be queued or something like that, so it can cause a delay, but dont know if is true or not, any help?

Im afraid to star using now (lv 60) and get used to it only to have to drop it latter because is messes the rotation

[twilit arch]

rather, shortly after entering kugane

er

!faq macrogcd

[zinc orbit]

Why you shouldn't macro your GCDs

Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.

Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA

[sacred spear]

hey, thanks! Will check it out!

[leaden ginkgo]

Any item that can turn to npc to make constant good Gil?

[ruby tundra]

Tank mount farm.
Does it still work in delta 3.0?

[steep egret]

its ill advised to use macros for combat
because yes, they can't be queued, also setting up combos, is bad in a macro, as wait times are only integers, but gcd is 2.5s
can be handy for some OGCD macros, where queue isn't an issue, say if you're using it after another instant cast and the GCD is already rolling

[twilit arch]

yes. mercenary

[sacred spear]

got it! Thanks, will avoid this use then 😄

[ruby tundra]

Hmm idk why but my counter doesnt go up... xD

[twilit arch]

dunno what to tell ya, nothing about the achievements have changed. deltascape works perfectly fine for both tank achievements

[ruby tundra]

Hmmm. Gonna check it again

[fringe reef]

How do you go underwater? The keybinding says Flight/Diving: Shift + Spacebar; but when I press that it just jumps up and i still float

[twilit arch]

Are you certain you're in water you can dive in?

[fringe reef]

i belive so

[twilit arch]

where are you

[fringe reef]

im here in il mehg

[twilit arch]

ok

then you may want to double check your keybindings

[fringe reef]

hm, okey

will try

[twilit arch]

possible you may have messed with the keybinds for diving

[limber hound]

I always thought it was ctrl+space

[twilit arch]

otherwise, i think pointing the camera down may help?

[boreal storm]

Swimming movement & flight movement are identical pretty much

So if the camera is down, you’ll move downward

[surreal anvil]

yea if i remember correctly the diving keybinds has issues for before / after you unlock flight at a certain zone

[surreal fjord]

Hey , i just strated playing as an arcanist . I have an rabbit on the screen and i don’t know it means . Can you please Tell me ?

[steep egret]

a rabbit???

[sleek needle]

Carbuncle?

[surreal fjord]

Yes

[steep egret]

read the skills

[surreal fjord]

I forgot it s name

[sleek needle]

It's your pet, it helps you https://youtu.be/pDm0nDKBLbo

[last kayak]

carbunkle dont do shit

[steep egret]

the game does tell you stuff, read

[surreal fjord]

Tysm

[steep egret]

look at the skills you've been given and play with them

[boreal storm]

That’s false

[last kayak]

ok, carbunkle does 2 shits, a shield and a dps buff lol

[raven sage]

you need carbuncle out for like 90% of your skills

[surreal anvil]

you forgot the most important part, he provides emotional support

[last kayak]

yeah but thats like saying "you need to have a 2h staff equipped to be a BLM"

[raven sage]

Sure but you can't just say it like that to a new player

That's how you get people never summoning it and thinking things are broken

[last kayak]

idk what to say if you find yourself in that position for more than 5 minutes there is probably something wrong with your head

[limber hound]

Equipping a 1H BLM/WHM weapon does not lock you out of 95% of your rotation

[raven sage]

This is a help channel

[boreal storm]

If you’re not gonna provide actual help...

[steep egret]

yea was gonna say, go elsewhere if ur not gonna actually help

[mossy halo]

What’s the best pvp mode for feeling of contribution, non chaotic fights, and the ability to improve in pvp generally?

I tried siege but it’s really really chaotic and 1v1 fights can last forever until you get third partied or waiting for either side to get reinforcements

[twilit arch]

kind of SoL for "non chaotic"

because pvp in general is always going to be a touch of that

[boreal storm]

Your only real options are frontline and Rival Wings, and those can and will get hectic

[last kayak]

frontline is like 10% coordination, 90% randomness

[surreal anvil]

think they are adding a 4v4 or 5v5 PVP option soon

but right now its Chaos only

[mossy halo]

My only issue with frontline is it’s hard to improve anything but game sense. I know game sense is important but I feel my actual combat skills are very lacking and frontline doesn’t help with that a lot

I will keep trying those modes though so thank you all for the help

[boreal storm]

Have you spent a couple minutes practicing your skills in wolf’s den?

[regal pawn]

https://www.akhmorning.com/pvp/burst-basics/

[last kayak]

my biggest problem with frontline is that some of the objectives require you to do the "right click interact" thing, instead of the "stand in this area" thing they use for other frontlines. Having to click things during chaos in this game is bullshit lol

[boreal storm]

Confirm button, use it

[last kayak]

just make it a "stand in the area" thing, no reason to even have click interactions in that mode

[regal pawn]

actually, there is

[mossy halo]

Thank you for the link and also suggesting practicing combos. One other thing is how important is proper set up for targeting? I cycle a lot through enemies and I’m worried I’m gimping myself

[regal pawn]

Interaction means you're stuck having to interact

which makes you vulnerable

[last kayak]

then make it "you can't cast skills while standing in the area"

[boreal storm]

That’s lame

[twilit arch]

not the channel to complain about this

[regal pawn]

And possibly gimp combat by pulling enemies into it?
nah

[boreal storm]

That too

[last kayak]

that sounds amazing actually

[regal pawn]

I just click on targets

[mossy halo]

I’m on ps4 so idk if that hurts a lot

[regal pawn]

yeah, it can be annoying on controller :/

[mossy halo]

Like I love how they tried helping controllers in regards to rotations and button pressing but my only issue is cycling targets and that’s it. This isn’t a question though anymore so sorry about that.

Is the best thing I can do is just try manual cycling asap?

[last kayak]

cycling targets is crap on KB/Mouse too lol

[mossy halo]

….wouldn’t that make the big pvp modes frustrating to play in big team fights?

[last kayak]

ofc, and it is.

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi, I just finished the quest in which it tells me that the reconstruction of the Brume in Ishgard has begun. Is there another quest that allows me to finish the reconstruction or has this not been released yet?

[raven bolt]

You could change your tab target to target the closest enemy

rather than cycling through your enmity list

[upper cove]

@mossy halo depending on your targeting setting, cancel with circle and x to select the closest target in front your character

Helps sometimes when targeting outliers

[raven bolt]

Nevermind you're on console

[remote lintel]

also you can't target something that isn't in your screen field of view

[upper cove]

^

[remote lintel]

so you can use that to isolate targets

[upper cove]

Name plate not present = can't target

[remote lintel]

your character also has to be facing what you're trying to target

by that I mean your character direction affects what you target

so i just go up to an enemy and literally just press A

or mash the left/right dpad

[mossy halo]

@upper cove @raven bolt those would help greatly, thank you!

[ornate stratus]

is Elemental Data server down?

[upper cove]

@ornate stratus should be an issue on your end. I'm online playing currently

[vast ferry]

on blm after a pack dies should i start my rotation from the beggining

[faint flare]

Basically. Spam transpose to keep stance, start with thunder and freeze before going into fire

[robust crow]

before you learn umbral soul, stance spam is the way to go

but you should let yourself regen to full mana in ice before starting your stance spam

so you're at full mana when you open on the next trash pack

[tidal yarrow]

hey what was the command to see a skill in the bot channel?

an action*

[twilit arch]

its !action name

[tidal yarrow]

ty

safe to assume potencies are endwalker updated?

[zinc orbit]

**Ruin II** : lvl 30 ACN SMN (300 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(1.5 second base cast time)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 270.

Powered by XIVAPI

[twilit arch]

should be

[surreal anvil]

should

[twilit arch]

but its assuming the API Is up to date

so there is a chance it may not be, but generally it is

[tidal yarrow]

okie no biggie thanks

[idle tiger]

Finally

[shadow needle]

Is it possible to skip p1-p2-p3s if the party leader as already cleared those?

Even if the rest of the party not?

[fresh jasper]

Yes

[shadow needle]

I read on reddit saying u can but it was 2 years ago so wanna make sure

[shadow needle]

Ah ty ty

[twilit arch]

keep in mind though

the people who haven't cleared p1s-p3s for the week forfeit loot from those floors

[pure copper]

Can u solo Dragons Neck on BLU?

[oak lily]

if you're 70

and have the right spells

I don't have that yet, just a guess

[boreal storm]

It’s just a lvl 50 trial so definitely

[pure copper]

74/104 spells yay

[tight spoke]

is there a "Brand-new" head piece?

[oak lily]

I think so

[rain dagger]

Which instance are Blue mages going to farm this moogle event?

[twilit arch]

no

[twilit arch]

aurum vale

[warm snow]

There's a button on your character menu to hide headgear

And it saves to your gearset

[steep egret]

technically no, but there is a headpiece which comes with the set given to Machnists (which are the same models , but also dyeable)

[tight spoke]

any way for a tank to equip it?

[steep egret]

no

[tight spoke]

does it share any other models

aww

[steep egret]

that set is Range DPS only

i use the brand new set for my tanks as well 😄

no hat thou

ah well, depends actually, im mixing up the brand new sets

i was thinking about this one

which is the generic DoW set

not the tank specific set

but i use it on my tanks

[tight spoke]

thats dow?

i swear thats a dps only set

[steep egret]

the brand new set you get for DPS, from the hall, is

[twilit arch]

tanks can wear disciple of war gear

a lot of ARR sets are split into either tank specific, dow, or all class

[tight spoke]

neat. so theres a tank specific one AND a generic DoW one

[twilit arch]

disciple of magic being a bit far and few between

[steep egret]

yeah

i was thinking about the DoW one, because i dont use the tank one

forget it existed

[twilit arch]

not until post ARR that things are forced into role specific gear

[steep egret]

the DoW one has a set with a hat later on

but its Range DPs only

[tight spoke]

tank set looks great

[steep egret]

craftable and dyeable

[surreal anvil]

yea think dyeable one is Aiming only

[steep egret]

yup

[surreal anvil]

was debating if I wanted that for my aiming glamour

[steep egret]

there is a Red version of that set

you can get from a ARR dungeon

[surreal anvil]

currently using the crystarium one

[steep egret]

which i used for my Melee DPS

no hat thou

[surreal anvil]

really wish that some of the sets look as good on male characters

half of the armor ssets i swear male versions were an afterthought >.>

[steep egret]

yeah

[slender saddle]

didn't you know that being male is a scam

ya'll cant even wear skirts and dresses without getting weird stares

[steep egret]

IKR? 😄

[surreal anvil]

you have to strut with confidence

[steep egret]

if im not mistaken
this set looks the same and has a helmet, and is dyeable
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Warwolf_Fending_Set

its a PVP set thou

not sure if its still available

maybe worth a look

[twilit arch]

still available

its a generic pvp set from wolf marks

those have never been removed

[surreal anvil]

think its 1k wolf mark a piece

[steep egret]

legs and feet are different

but the chest and arms are the same model as brand-new tank set

so its close-ish

garland tools lists it as the same, at least the chestpiece

the Brand-new trousers though, you can get a dyeable version via crafting, "Boarskin Skirt"

and Brand-new Sabatons, are craftable as "Bronze Sollerets"

seems when they re-used the models, or the reverse, when they "stole them" for the Hall of novice

the tank set was split from warwolf PVP sets

half is tank, half is Dragoon/reaper

[jovial quarry]

The Brand New sets from the novice hall were most certainly recolors of existing stuff yeah. Specifically, sets that you could get in the first three dungeons.

[steep egret]

the DPS set most definitely, it entirely comes from a single dungeon

well, from all 3 actually, lol

the Foestrikers set

the tank set thou, is a bit all over the place

the chest and arms, come from PVP and level 50 dungeons

[tight spoke]

oohh youre right it IS the same

[steep egret]

just note, only chest and arms is the same

[tight spoke]

also, I just realized I couldve just looked on garlondtools

[steep egret]

legs and feet aren't

yep

bingo

garland tools is so handy

[surreal anvil]

yea just remember that some of the armor Garlondtool list as same model might have slight differences though

IE darklight cuirass is slightly different due to that flame symbol in the middle

[pure copper]

same for rebel vs urban coat

[surreal anvil]

this is a much important one since its like 1mil + item lol

[pure copper]

yea on aether it's like a 300k price gap, and the little details is why

oh wait, so since I have already completed heavensward as a free player, i can just buy endwalker and I should get everything right?

[fathom glacier]

[vast ferry]

how hard is ninja?

[regal pawn]

Kinda ez

[surreal anvil]

not that bad once muscle memory kicks in

[regal pawn]

Ye

Deceptively simple

[vast ferry]

i'm pretty good with muscle memory at least

[surreal anvil]

it is a bit annoying if you don't play it a while though since you will have to remember ninjitsu's again

[regal pawn]

QERT for ninjutsus

[surreal anvil]

basically every time when a new expansion comes out for me and when i have to relevel it lol

[regal pawn]

Ten Chi Jin Execute

Becomes really hard to forget

[vast ferry]

it seems intersting even if i typically play spellcasters in games

[surreal anvil]

i use an MMO mouse, so executing ninjitsu is easy, just hard time remembering optimum rotation

[vast ferry]

seems kinda dumb to limit myself to 6 classes tho

[surreal anvil]

nah

definitely try everything in FF XIV

[regal pawn]

play it all

[surreal anvil]

the job system is really well designed for 1 character to do everything

[regal pawn]

not like WOW where you have to do every quest for every character / job

[regal pawn]

[pure copper]

is there a way to have solo party duties show your "party"?

[surreal anvil]

there is an option

to show party list while solo

[vast ferry]

since i decided to go for the japanese astetic for sb it's between ninja and samurai

[surreal anvil]

uncheck the box that says "Hide party list when solo"

[pure copper]

is that for duties only, or in general?

[surreal anvil]

you can do whatever, just use the stormblood glamour, its japanese aesthetics for all classses

[vast ferry]

i already have japanese glamours but my weird brain wants me to go all the way

[surreal anvil]

they are a bit bulky though for some of them (they went for the shogun / samurai theme)

[lusty girder]

for quest battles, is there any disadvantage to going afk the first time and purposing losing, then putting it on very easy the second time for a quick sweep?

[raven sage]

It's in general

[boreal storm]

No, but you could at least try to beat it

[surreal anvil]

wasting time? if there is AOE or something in the stage, just run into it instead of going AFK

[lusty girder]

good point, thanks

[pure copper]

can u not solo the burn anymore on BLU? i keep dying to the tankbuster after the vaporize...when the reference video has them at 50% if gobskin was up..

[regal pawn]

Gear?
Aetherial mimicry?

[robust crow]

idk but if a tankbuster is killing you, have you tried using diamondback

iirc if you're soloing a dungeon, you can have mighty guard active 100% of the time with basic instinct up

[pure copper]

ill try a double diamondback

[regal pawn]

Yup

[pure copper]

https://youtu.be/lzBuHUS9rEg?t=1214 referencing this

[regal pawn]

This is actually a big thing

Don't forget it lul

[pure copper]

have gobkin, toad skin, mighty guard, and basic instinct up

full 70 poetic

with healer mimicry

[robust crow]

diamondback?

[pure copper]

ill try double back to back diamondbacks

oof nope then i have to stand in the ice aoe and die that way

seems tehres areally tight timing or something im missing

[regal pawn]

Make sure you run out of the ice fast enough

[fringe reef]

where do i see my mount speed in ||ultima thule||? i can't find these lcoations on the filter

[oak lily]

Ninja gets extra dialogue

[oak lily]

First things first, tag the name, second, are you flying or just on the ground? Because flight is always the fastest speed

[vast ferry]

i'm gunna try out dancer should i grind tomestones to gear it before doing the msq

[fringe reef]

im flying, and what do u mean tag the name? im looking at the P -> travel mount speed tab

[oak lily]

|| this || || blacks out anything in between

[fringe reef]

oh sry

[oak lily]

Doesn’t matter then, flying is the fastest speed

[fringe reef]

it has those flying maps

[heavy wadi]

those are ground speed.

[oak lily]

Riding maps are for ground speed

[heavy wadi]

flying is already the fastest you can go

[fringe reef]

ah, but still it would nice to see if i can buy it or not

is there no way to check it ?

if i already have it or not

[lone spruce]

Does anyone know how to get rid of this? A long time ago I managed to turn it off in character settings but accidentally reset all my character settings

[oak lily]

Bicolor gemstones

[fringe reef]

if i have it than i can't buy it?

[lone spruce]

I want to get rid of auto attack, teleport and return being automatically included in my hotbar whenever I get a new job

[oak lily]

They’re always there

When you switch

Except auto-attack, never seen that

[lone spruce]

That can’t be right, for the longest time I’ve not had those when switching to a new job

Legit the past 8 jobs

Did not have that when I picked up a new job

It was like this on my other characters too and I could not figure out what I did in character settings to make it go away

[twilit arch]

you should be able to just remove it from your hotbars like any other skill

[lone spruce]

I’m on console so it’s very difficult to click and drag

And by very difficult I mean extremely

[heavy wadi]

it's not very difficult

[faint flare]

Use the virtual mouse

[last kayak]

Whats the best combiation for a tank in Bozja who wants to do a lot of damage really fast?

[faint flare]

Blood rage/Banner of Sacrifice + Font of Power with bloodsucker

Don't take Font with warrior, just Banner and rage

[last kayak]

ok so the order is (WAR); (Activate Bloodsucker) -> Lost Blood Rage -> Banner of Honored Sacrifice -> go ham?

will this allow me to "3 shot fates" like they're talking about in discussion right now? Or is that something only healers can do?

[obsidian patio]

R2+L3 and then double tap the action

[lone spruce]

Thank you

You’re a lifesaver

How do I turn it off? Like the mouse

[obsidian patio]

L1+R3

[last kayak]

does this also mean I can't have Lost Cure?

[faint flare]

Why the fuck you would use cure lol

It doesn't do damage so it's shit

[last kayak]

fair enough. some of the CE's have been punishing without it, like the snake one with charbydis

[faint flare]

That's why you use bloodsucker

You have a permanent 50% lifesteal

Stack that with raw inuit and you physically can't fucking die

[last kayak]

k, thx

[faint flare]

One inner chaos literally full heals you

Pop Banner after fully stacking blood rage and go off

So Banner is affected by the Cooldown reduction

[last kayak]

I've never used any of these actions before, how does Lost Blood Rage work exactly? afaik I only have 2x Onslaught and thats not enough to get max stacks of the buff

or does 'Dash Attack' mean something else in this case

[faint flare]

The duration refreshes

[obsidian patio]

Getting a stack refreshes the duration

[faint flare]

When you charge

[last kayak]

ohhhh

[faint flare]

So use > dash 1 > Wait abit before it falls > second dash repeat until stacked

[last kayak]

after you get all stacks, does using a dash refresh the duration of blood rush?

[faint flare]

No

You get a separate buff which is the steroid

[untold willow]

is there a way to lock chat window positions? every once and awhile i accidentlyl move it D:

[last kayak]

thx again

[frozen girder]

Are there any moogle treasure trove cheeses similar to the Coils 2 chsses?

[faint flare]

Everyone changed after arr

Except the people who were added in post arr

[tight spoke]

y'shtola is the same

minfillia is the same

[faint flare]

They all change in heavensward

Cause they went to a new studio

Cause the old one was shit and their contact ended

[untold willow]

for bicolor gemstones, is there not a mount u can buy with them? i thought there was

[tight spoke]

there is

[faint flare]

The Wivre

[tight spoke]

it costs 50000 iirc

[untold willow]

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Bicolor_Gemstone i couldnt find it here

[faint flare]

Need rank 3 in all Endwalker zones

[untold willow]

wha

i thought the cap was 1000

[tight spoke]

you purchase vouchers

[faint flare]

It uses the vouchers

https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Bicolor_Gemstone_Voucher

[untold willow]

also is the faux leaves stuff not available all the time?

[faint flare]

Unreal come back in 6.1

[tight spoke]

thought so. Y'shtola JP VA didnt change

hmm thancred didnt change. how strange

i swear he sounds different in arr

[twilit arch]

you did ask if the VAs changed, and didn't mention JP or not double checked and realized you did

most people are going to default to answering Yes to it because the EN VAs did change

afaik none of the JP cast has changed

[broken tapir]

Do I actually have to install 101 updates before playing xiv

[warm snow]

All you installed was a launcher

Launcher has to actually download the game files

[boreal storm]

The game is 10 years old

There’s a lot of stuff to download

[last kayak]

what are the 2b butt leggings called?

[cursive rock]

2B leggings I think

!iglam 2B leggings

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

[fresh jasper]

No.2 Type B Legging

[cursive rock]

Yea

[last kayak]

ah, thanks

[atomic turret]

im trying to bind alt+r but it wont let me

is there a reason for that

[dry bobcat]

What do

Irregular tomestone of scripture do

[faint flare]

Buy stuff from the moogle in cities

It's the moogle event

[dry bobcat]

Aight

Also

If i use a damage booster does it boost DoTs

Like

[faint flare]

Yes

Everything snapshots

[jade quartz]

Dots snapshot your buffs on application

[dry bobcat]

Hissatsu: Kaiten -> Higanbana

[dense estuary]

whats the best way to get Irregular Tomestones of Scripture

[jade quartz]

If you use a buff after applying a dot, the dot is unaffected

[faint flare]

Yes and you should always be using buffs and refreshing them under those buffs

[last kayak]

buff -> DoT = affected

DoT -> buff = not affected

[dry bobcat]

Wow i didnt know dots were affected too

[faint flare]

Aurum vale blue mage

[jade quartz]

And conversely if the buff you used before applying the dot wears off during its course, the entirety of the dots duration still remains affected by the buff

[dry bobcat]

Perfect

[faint flare]

There's no reason dots wouldn't be affected. Damage buffs affect all your damage

Which includes dots

[dense estuary]

unsynced solo im guessing

[faint flare]

No

You don't get tomes unsynced

[last kayak]

1 Tank + 3 BLU synced Aurum Vale

[boreal storm]

BLU can sync solo AV, I’m fairly sure. It’s not as fast but still

[dense estuary]

any specific spells needed

[faint flare]

Usual dungeon clearing stuff

Rams, Ultravibration, missile

[vast ferry]

https://comradezoey.neocities.org/deepdungeon.html does this site take the armory bonus into account

[faint flare]

And big burst spells for last boss to make it go faster

[dense estuary]

but you cant do it solo right

or can you

[faint flare]

You need to sync it

So solo synced

Obviously takes longer and not really worth

[dense estuary]

seems no one is really makin groups for this event

[faint flare]

Then make your own

Shit fills up

[jade quartz]

People will join

Be the change you want to see in PF

[remote lintel]

I feel like a chump asking blus for carry pwease

[cursive rock]

Blu isn’t hard to level

[jade quartz]

Level your own, takes no time

[vast ferry]

is there a more accurate runs calculator for potd

[jade quartz]

Getting the few spells you had for dungeon cheesing is also easy

[vast ferry]

you need to be pretty far into the story to get them tho

[boreal storm]

You can also just be a tank/ranged dps

[jade quartz]

Cerberus is

[warm snow]

Ultravibration is in sea of clouds

And rams voice is like level 33 or so

[cursive rock]

Well for the event you need rams voice from chimera which is a level 50 spell from the chimera relic instance or sth. And then ultra vibration from the loch overworld mobs. Other than that final sting from qarn, whistle, moon flute

[boreal storm]

Cutters cry is 33

[vast ferry]

the one the exp guide that you guys are always linking isn't accurate

it doesn't take your exp into account

[jade quartz]

And missile which is from Big bridge

[warm snow]

Broadly speaking it is, numbers have changed due to stats squish

[jade quartz]

Tbh I don’t know anyone who makes use of exp calculators, is not a tool there’s great demand for

So I’m not aware of any up to date ones

[vast ferry]

for potd?

[jade quartz]

Yeah

[warm snow]

In general

[vast ferry]

it's link in the exp guide but it seems to have issues
