Exp is easy enough to get that there’s not a lot of desire to minmax to that extent
Which was made in shadowbringers
Before the stats squish
Does a black mages leylines boost spell speed of other casters if said casters stand in them, even if they are not the owner of the leylines?
You just run it until you don’t need to anymore
No
No
No.
Just you
It’s just for the user
TRIPLE KILL
jesus christ lol
i wish imagine 4 blm all stacking their leylines on top of eachother then going apeshit on the boss that'd be hilarious
Just watch as the black mages become A10 warthog levels of destruction.

did a holiday just drop, whats with all the banners and flowers
Little ladies day
You get a crown
It's been going since monday
Just crown
Very short quest, as events typically are
what is the point of Fleeting Raiju? Why wouldnt you just use Forked Raiju?
Ones a gap closer, ones not
The non gap closer has less animation lock so easier double weave
if an enemy isn't going to survive the full duration of thunder should i skip ir
if you're in ice phase, probably best to keep it up since you have time while waiting for MP regen
if there's more than one target left alive, its usually still worth because you can use the proc on the other target
What's the best way to farm irregulars if you don't have BLU leveled?
if there's only one target, and its the boss, and it wont survive long enough to finish thunder, than just do it anyways because it doesnt matter
Is there gil farm method or command in here 
be the tank that the 3x BLU groups need 😛
otherwise just run your daily roulettes, you get some there too

Not really no
It's called playing the market board
And doing dailies
How can i have a look at the faqs
But there's no gil farm in there
Any method that easy would either be nerfed or everyone would do it, making it useless for the mb
I know im just having a look at them thx anyway
Is FF14 PC Linux compatible?
We’ve had a couple Linux users come in telling us they had issues
Same for windows 11
Windows 11 is officially supported though.
And apparently the new macos update
Montery is not, yet, supported.
Is it, last I heard support was planned but no released
Yeah, I was just looking this morning because someone was asking about why XIV wasn't working on their Mac after they'd updated the OS
And I happened to also see the official start of service notice for Windows 11 when I was looking.
Cuz we definitely had a few cases of windows 11 users when that was new
Ah, how recent was that?
February 24
Ye
Also they announced their planned support of it back in September, and had delayed officially saying "we're supporting it right now" because they wanted to work out kinks and bugs first.
Yeah, that was like the beta 2 support release
It wasn't much of an issue because MS designed Win11 to be internally retrocompatible, but minor issues still cropped up.
February 24 was the official start of service for 11
For Mac OS Montery they still haven't gotten around to figuring out support for that. The last mention of it that I could even find was a notice from mid-December saying they intended to have support running for that OS by the end of the month.
Obviously that didn't happen.
can i make my gearset list longer so there isnt a scroll
afaik you can't adjust that UI element, no
you can drag em to a hotbar though
way more convenient
there's ways to organize it in the pinned at #protips-and-ui
Bitch please
Make each into a transformation macro with title, minion and some form of cool pose at the end

looking at leveling rotation for BLM in 6.0, the aoe rotation says to "use T4 or Foul as needed", wouldn't i want to keep thunder up at all times on packs?
Yes, and use the procs when you get them cause it's a ton of damage
great, i thought it was odd that T4 isn't included in the actual rotation like it is for all the other levels. thanks!
Yeah T4 with the proc is a lot of instant damage
So you don’t worry too much about the duration of the dot you’re overwriting
Is there a ninja weapon like thancred has in SB where one blade is much larger than the other
You mean like different models for each hand? Nothing like that exists for nin afaik
thancred just gets unique treatment
Is there an easy/reliable way to get right-side gear while leveling besides poetics?
what level
About 50, going from ARR to Heavensward
Other than grinding dungeons and hoping, or knocking out sidequests and hanging onto them, not really.
MSQ should have given you accessories.
Alt leveling
Between 2.0 and 3.0
thats where i am right now, is it not flooding you with accessories in the arr afterstory
But also if you're between expansions you won't get really anything at all in the way of gear.
its in almost every quest reward
That won't start happening again until you get into 3.0
OK, thank you.
You literally get accessories from almost every level 50 MSQ
Just get ironworks if you’re in post-arr
The goal was to avoid poetics
You get a lot anyways, and they’re usable on other jobs of the same role
Why
Don't wanna do MSQ roulette regularly
Poetics gear is the best you can get, and you can easily get a full set of poetics gear per cap without doing roulettes.
It’s a big chunk of exp
Just do the MSQ and you'll get poetics from like, every level 50 instance you do.
Alt leveling
Just do literally any other 50/60/70/80 dungeon for poetics
Or raid
Prae is also like a full level of exp 
Alliance raids, Normal raids, and 50/60/70/80 dungeons all give poetics.
Even if you don't want to do Prae/CM, you can still get a ton from other sources.
i think the bottom line is lv 50 msq gives i90 accessories, or you can craft or buy them from the market
CM?
Castrum
Castrum
MSQ roulette is just the easiest way to get a lot for the amount of time spent in the content.
Speaking of tomestones
What do I do with overflowing Aphorism’s
Literally every dungeon you do during this msq is like 100+ free poetics
But yeah, there's seriously no reason to avoid spending poetics.
It's stupidly easy to get them, even if you don't want to touch MSQ roulette.
Can’t very well make use of alt gears 
Not to mention the cap is 2k so the game is encouraging you to spend them
Sure you can. Just get it now, and hold on to it for later, for glamour, or to exchange for GC seals once 6.2 hits and they cycle them out.
For now: just crafting materials
Not much use for aphorisms atm tbh
You'll be able to augment classical gear with them in 6.1
Like my whm set is mostly complete barring anything savage, and rpr is getting my runoffs from weekly in normal
Where do i find this novice network?
Gotta be invited by a mentor
You’re better off just not
It can be a cesspool at times
how would one go about finding a mentor to invite them, that sounds like a fun place to lurk
Just play the game, you meet people
Ol
Lol probably ask shout chat in Limsa idk
I randomly got invited one day
that was gonna be my first strat, thanks
like I said to Crowgirl in #beginner-lounge if you struggle I can world hop and invite
or if you're on Cactuar I can do it now
im on midgardsormr
should be easy in limsa anyway

So i wanna try my hand at healing..and I mean i have NEVER EVER really did a thing for healing in any of these type of games
XD I know i should start white mage, but are they doing good right now as in..what healers do most people loook for inc ase i switch over
Also you can really start with whichever one you feel like, honestly.
White Mage is seen as less optimal but is VERY safe and has great GCD healing when needed
More or less, if im mainly a dps and tank (i preferusing drk and war)
Sure, WHM is the only one that will set you back to level 1, and people will talk all day about "needing to play a class from the ground up", but that's neither a requirement nor universally true.
which healer would be more suited to transitition too i guess
Whm
Whm is the healiest healer
I might recommend against picking up Sage immediately, but only because it's a lot of skills to try and figure out at once. But Astro/Sch/WHM are all equally valid as a brand new starting point.
Summoner is nothing like Scholar
bit more complex than that lol
Yeah no
Fortunately, leveling Summoner means you've leveled Scholar by proxy.
Well i meant as in, you have to do arcanist
Barrier healer doesn't mean you bubble
Shield healers like Scholar and Sage rely a lot on good usage of their cooldowns
Summoner is legos, scholar is not
Ok sooo white mage it to 90 then XD
.
There's no bad or wrong choice.
Well its more or elss cause i never touche or stress easily with healing
cause i feel like imma do a shit job
We all start somewhere
Then just load up a low lvl dungeon
That just means you're inexperienced lol
Sucking at something is the first step toward being kinda okay at it
Nothing wrong with that, I felt the same when I started.
Rn im trying to get drk up to 90, since i got mcn up to 90 and then summoner. Melee is gonna be rpr then im decicing between dcn and brd
I jumped into tanking at 70 after I boosted Paladin
Did just fine
It’s a bit of an advanced tip, but I recommend having a general idea of how much your heals do
Don't view failure as a "you suck forever and should quit the class and maybe life as well".
So you know how to make full use of it and avoid overhealing
Well i read my tips
It's a game, if you fail, just learn from it.
Lucky for you, smn and sch share levels
More or less im just asking whats the heoo hoo brain heal
It's like dark souls
You will fuck up
But you keep fucking up until you don't
I mean i could do scholar
!faq healerguide
Yeah, honestly, pick Scholar or WHM.
The video is more tailored to like 60+, but has lots of general tips for all levels
Astro is also going to throw a lot of card concepts at you as well
so that might be a bit extra info you don't need while learning how to heal by itself
Is scholar confusing
nah
Can be at the start
It’s kinda meh until about 60
i know it has the dots from summoner
It's resource and Cooldown management
I honestly feel super comfortable on Scholar
It has 1 dot
Once you get Excog it goes a lot better
and I did not think I would
If you jump in at the deep end any job is gonna be confusing
Like all healers
Summoner doesn’t have DoTs anymore 😛
Summoner doesn't have dots any more and all healers have a dot
well i meant when summoner had dots
All healers have an offensive spell and a dot
Healer DPS rotation is the definition of simple
That's 99% of your damage kit
Soooo do scholar then.
@leaden ginkgo
Did, uhhh
Did the 6.0 channel get deleted?
Personally if you're starting from 0 experience I'd recommend against it and go for whm or maybe ast so you can start with fewer skills and get a handle on healing in easier content
Since you said you'd levelled summoner previously sch will be at the same level
Yes it did, because 6.1 is coming up
it was archived
I mean i can slowly inch my way u
Well shit, where do I talk about 6.0 spoilers now?
so i can learn it
It got merged into #archived-lore-spoilers
It's all your decision in the end
Lore spoilers has no restrictions now
We can't make you do anything
I mean i have seen a lot of astros recently, XD im just not sure if i could get the hang of it
there is nowhere with spoiler tags to talk about 6.0 anymore
Time to perish
just slam your skull into it until you understand, however bad you are the people relying on you to survive have seen worse
you'll be fine
Do or do not
If I can juggle 6 jobs and do their rotations flawlessly, You can play ast
You'll never know til you go out and do it
I cant find it 
Top bar
Toggle battle effects?
Yes

Make sure to let the animation replay
I did
Well the hearts disappeared whenever I was moving the camera so I just
Very very very slowly moved the camera and pressed the screenshot button when it got to a spot I liked lol
Heyo, anyone have tips on how not to stand awkwardly as you desperately try to gain enmity (via shield toss ability) on enemies as a gladiator? (miclicking on allies) (MnK vs Controller for tank job)
Just walk up and aoe
Or just tab to them with tab for kbm or left/right dpad or triggers + L/R1 on controller
One hit gets aggro
gotcha, thanks!
n00b question here! Where is this Lemures Headquarters? I can't find it lol
Miners guild aethernet then north east
ty
thinking of boosting my alt character (wanting to play with a friend on another data center)...but Im curious. how fast can I get to stormblood? (I will likely skip all cutscenes after Uldah saga)
If you're boosting, as fast as you can pay for it.
thinking going paladin for the fastest possible times.
Misspoke. I meant to say how fast would it be if I did NOT boost
if I just burned through MSQ and ignored all side content
im at 4 days 13 hours most of the way through post-arr taking plenty of time and doing professions, so by my best estimate you could probably do it in like 10-12 hours if you were really ramming it?

Yeah, no
It’d take you maybe a week?
That’s a maybe
Coming from someone who did Shadowbringers in 3 days
Man Shadowbringers was a trip...
I hope by the time my friend makes it to ShB Data Center Travel happens.
DC travel is slated for 6.18
AKA like 3-4 months away
we're not even in 6.1 lol hence why I made the alt.
(and also because I wanted to see the appeal in playing a Miqote)
Did you see it?
Not really I really dislike their default outfit
male too imo. I almost picked male miqote on my first run but the outfit was a huge no

is it normal that level 80 plus leveling is slow?
Ive done leveling roulette, and a level 80 dungeon and only 75% to level 81.
I have 130% bonus exp
level x0 dungeons don't give good xp because they were not intended to give xp
Better off slapping the lv79 dungeon
yes, your armory bonus is halved on 80+ so feel slow compared to lvl 1-79 (assuming this is alt job)
Do the lv79 dungeon as it's infinitely more xp than all 80 dungeons put together
You never do level cap dungeons for xp
it is an alt job.
My leveling percentage is 130... anyway to get that up? trying to get to 90 by Sat
They're for tomes
Thank you for the response ❤️
as other say, dont do lvl cap dungeon, they barely give exp 😄 so spam 79 till you get 81. good luck!
!faq armourybonus
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 90 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 79, which then reduces to +50% for level 80 to 89. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
you guys think that is the fastest way to level?
If ques are long yes
So Eureka Relic armour, it upgrades my lvl 70 class quest gear into the glowing gear, right?
iirc someone done that math
bozja skirmish train is fastest xp/hour till lvl87 especially for dps
downside is, its fucking boring
No
Elemental armour isn't related to your job gear
(outside of needing the weapon upgraded)
Oh... so how do I get it?
glowing eureka armor or glowing relic armor?
cuz glowin relic armor dont exist
Pagos weapon obtained and 50 logos action discovered
Relic armour doesn't exist period
Eureka armour then, I've been getting them mixed up I guess
There's two eureka armours, dyeable job gear and elemental
They're not related at all other than being via eureka
reach pyros (3rd area) on top of completing pagos weapon (2nd map), disconver logos action
then grind the shit out of it
then upgrade it to +1 in hyadatos (4th area) to make it glow
The elemntal one I think, the one that looks like this for tanks
yeah thats the eureka armor. its a slow and painful grind. dont rush it or you gonna burned out
Alrighty, ty
what are people commonly running to farm the event?
I would think bluie mage aurum vale would be the thing but, I don't see any parties up
I'd think BLU aurum would be good, yes
no one running on my dc 😦
do it yourself

Can someone give me the faq leveling command plz? ty ❤️
!faq altlvlguide
that one?
yep! ty ❤️
like in my head I'd type ! leveling or something
but no, its, faq altlvlguide
like thats not how Id write a command

wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyy too many commands to search through there 😭
fair
is the fervid/stagnant limbo the asphodelos raids?
Yuh
hiya!! I just read through the alt job levelling guide, and I'm a bit confused... Should I finish the challenge and hunting logs first before dipping into palace of the dead? was planning on building black mage and ninja first before moving onto Heavensward hehe
basically just do em till you're level 15
Challenge logs just happen as you do stuff you’d usually do anyway
thanks so much for the answers!!
oh and another side note, just make sure you're spamming floors 51-60
you only need to go through 1-50 once and then you can reset progress and spam it to level
Is bard repertoire just a random thing now in general, vs it proccing from your dots occasionally?
I'll be sure to remember that!! thanks so much!!!

need to do that ye

is there a reward for unlocking all BLU spells?
One of the best dps blue spells is locked behind learning 100 but that's mainly it
wait what spell is that
matra magic
!action matra magic
Deals an unaspected eightfold attack, each hit with a potency of 50.
Potency is increased to 100 when you are under the effect of Aetherial Mimicry: DPS.
Shares a recast timer with certain blue magic spells.
A variety of magic employed by New World voidsent, this spell pummels the target with a barrage of incandescent orbs. Its name, likely familiar to scholars of the arcane, is said to have once encompassed the Whalaqee arts of near-death curses and converting life force into mana.
Learn 100 spells.
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 3
wtf
get this and angel whisper
Resurrects target to a weakened state.
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions.
The origin of this revitalizing spell is steeped in mystery, as it requires healing aether be amplified through a familiar that appears for all the world to be a messenger from the heavens─a concept soundly at odds with Whalaqee religious beliefs.

if you want to upload it, you can put your ss folder to be sync to dropbox if you want
technically they could acesss your entire pc if they wanted
or at least everything belonging to the user group
but that applies to every game and program
That would be illegal in quite a lot of countries.
And I'm also fairly certain that's not how a client-server relationship works at all in the first place.
no what rin said is true
but you execute software from them, if they wanted they could have it upload all your data to their servers
thats why pvp games can detect if youre running a cheat program
its just that SE doesnt do that
That's ... also not entirely accurate, but that's beyond the scope of the original question regardless so I won't pursue it further.
how does the damage from machinist's flamethrower work?
also if ever some company starts to do that, you'll be sure to hear about it as there's tons of privacy freaks online who will start shouting about it very loud
it's a dot that ticks every 1 sec
about 800 potency for whole thing then?
or is it one of those things where initial hit also counts, so like 880 total
i think it's 800 or 880 depending on which server tick you hit? not quite sure
The "zero" tick is not counted as a tick, so yeah, 800
ive heard smth about doton having an extra tick from being placed
note that your flamethrower is your last priority before just spamming spread shot
so I thought of that as well
That's for ground aoes
in start of a trash pull though you'd autocrossbow spam into flamethrower then spread shot?
bioblaster > autocrossbow > flamethrower > spread shot
hmm
The priority is as captain listed
just trying to understand flamethrower's tooltip kinda threw me off
no other ability in the game ticks every 1 second
also it shows up as red dot unnamed numbers
not as "Flamethrower"
I am a south China player currently in the Masamune server while the ping is good, the language barrier is kinda HUGE
Can anyone suggest a good Oceania server with ST that is close to the +8 timezone?
they all have the same server time
Tonberry and Kujata servers, or to a lesser extent any server on the Elemental datacentre, have a large English-speaking population (chiefly SEA and OCE)
If you can't speak JP, stay away from Gaia and Mana DC
You will likely have higher ping if you try the Materia datacentre (OCE-specific)
I see a really big TW guild in Typhoon if you are from TW
There are a few HK players in Tonberry/Kujata
I kinda look into Ocenia for a bit, I think dont konw whcih one to choose lol
Go to Elemental datacentre
is what I would recommend.
Try to get onto Tonberry or Kujata
just stay away from Gaia and Mana DC
but others on Elemental are ok too
Yeah they are on Masamune which is on Mana.
Go to Elemental
your ping will be the same but you will find a lot more English-speaking players
and possibly other Chinese players too
Roger, thanks for the tips
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/648be856ae9fc3a8de331aba8774bf87863c392c/ for TW FC
does being in some kind of animation get interrupted by changing gear sets
O
basically if you can't speak JP, stay away from Mana and Gaia, and you are gucci
Thx, gonna save the FC link for later
if you mean like emotes, they shouldn't be interrupted by GS changes
What’s the item called that you buy from the grand company to get a random minion?
Materiel Container 3.0/4.0
okay, cool, thank you
Oh I see it! Don’t have enough seals to buy it
okay new question: how do I emote as part of a macro
use auto-translate in your macro
type /squ, press tab
when you write your macro line
then you can use it
don't have to use auto translate but can make things easier
it will give "/squat" emote
its just no different than typing the emote command in the chat box. put /emote in the macro box
uh yeah just enter the emote as a line in the macro
perfect, ty
like you would normally emote in text
also just went and confirmed it, you're correct
I wasn't sure if it was anything different hence why I asked
ty all

Job changes interrupt it
Cause it stops my Snap 
So as long as your job doesn't change
Anim will playout

yeah some emote doesn't interrupt
so... is there a list of what emotes don't get interrupted
do mitigation and shielding stack?
like a health shield? yes
in an EX or savage duty
Yes
yep, shield is just a HP that can exceed 100%
The shield will take less damage
and shield will be consumed first before HP
say for a tank buster, i use only TBN+ oblation, will i survive? or will i have to use living dead?
so they are basically HP, but in limited time
it being an EX fight doesn't change anything
You'll live
Assuming it's enough mit
I've tried the henshin macro with /megaflare
it's interrupted
but with the power-up macro, it won't
rampart is mitigation right?
yes
!action rampart
what tankbuster?
damn. till now i thought it was a shield
???
Have
shield is just an extra HP with limited time
and they can exceed 100%
arms length is also mitigation
You got to 82 without reading properly??????
so in dungeons, for big pulls, do i use reprisal+rampart+ shadow wall?
Why am I surprised
yeah, read the tooltips
don't stack mits
nope
But don't stack them
TBN + 1 CD rotate like 2 at most
Except Blackest with something rlde
dont blow your load early
Else*
there's a faq for mit stacking isn't there?
All mitigations have diminishing returns
combine reprisal with arm's length usually
especially for drk the trash is more dangerous than the actual bosses
shadow wall and rampart should be used on their own vs big pull
not combined, unless your party isn't using up to date gear
I mean the more you play the more you'll get the feel of it too
its very fun in lvl90 dungeons when the tanks still dont mitigate lol
using PLD as an example
do all tanks have only 2 shields?
what are the shield spells for drk? TBN and arm's length?
Only TBN
TBH is the only shield
Arms isn't a shield
please read your tool tips
!action arms length
Creates a barrier nullifying most knockback and draw-in effects.
Duration: 6s
Additional Effect: Slow +20% when barrier is struck
Duration: 15s
If you didn't know
Shield specifically means a "bonus hp" ability
not any mitigation
what is slow?
Slower attack speed
slows attack rate
ok
so it's a mitigation
Heavy is movement speed
but not a shield
But anyway the point is you want to spread your mits out over an encounter
especially trash pulls.
don't stack multiple
Because diminishing returns yeah, but also because otherwise you'll run out of mits and be screwed.
The second part is more important tbh.
so
first pull, i use TBN+ rampart
second pull, TBN+ reprisal
third pull, TBN+ shadow wall
maybe throw in an oblation if the timer runs out?
!action shadow wall
Yuh
oh right sorry got confused thinking of dark mind.
Use longer cooldowns first
So shadow first
Then arm's
means more uses in the dungeon
righto
dark mind can be used for a lot of tank busters
reprisal is usually combined with arm's length
Doesn't matter what you combine
Still diminishing returns
are tank busters purely physical or are they magical as well?
There are magic ones
some are magic
since DM is only magic
for dungeon mobs, most of them are physical
raid wides are like 90% magic tho
and they don't have cast time
Magic
if youre not getting hit by something then its probably magical
It's a spelly looking attack
If you use ACT and upload things to FFlogs, you can also learn which ones are magic/phys damage by reading the damage breakdown: magic damage will be blue and physical damage will be orange.
if you parry/block something you know its not magic
bozja still good for 81-85? and im assuming the fate route for the rest isnt as optimal since fate parties are extinct
eh
This is the damage-taken breakdown from p1s
To add to this

ABC: Always Be Casting. The Ultimate Mantra to become a better player. Welcome to my lengthy Beginner's Guide to all things a beginner will want to know! But don't be afraid of the length, I cover a lot of topics you can implement now or later!
Here I will explain many topics that separate the good from the great tanks. Some topics more advanc...

Or just have an MP buffer and spam TBN on cooldown when the pack is still mostly alive 
then youre getting whaled on during the seconds tbn isnt up
For stacking oblation, when they’re both on is it additive (20%) or diminishing returns to have both on?
If you only use TBN in the opener, you're going to get whaled on regardless 
Ah gotcha @remote lintel tyty
theyre talking about trash pulls
theres no opener for trash pulls 
depends if you know the shield is going to break
if theres still a lot of enemies alive sure
yeah but you dont use it when theres only like 2
Obv
But if it comes off CD and everything is still alive, you'd want to use it again
Not just at the start of the pull
along with other mit
Yeah
DRK works like SCH (and to an effect SGE) where you have to have a bit of foresight to figure out if you need to pull Mana for DPS or TBN spam
If the shield breaks its free dps anyway
Dungeon lvl 79 (section 1 full and section 3) and dungeon lvl 81 (3rd section) are two notable places
Right, but if TBN doesn’t crack you just wasted it
Haven't played drk much, but going by other tanks, I'm assuming it'll crack if you wall pull on most levelling dungeons
You’ll be surprised
you can be taking sustained damage that doesn't crack the shield
its a pretty strong shield
There are alot of scenarios where it doesn’t go down fast
In levelling dungeons though?
It's best for bursts of damage, trash is sustained that might also be mitigated by other party members
Because the enemies you fight either Telegraph AOEs more than auto you, or your WHM just holy’d every time you hit TBN lol
Don't pop TBN, whm spams cure 1 
75 I believe, has a lot of enemies that’ll spam AOE more than auto you specifically
dont trust df healers 
And you almost feel like a dick asking them to not holy spam lol
Huh interesting
So you’ll be left wondering why there’s 8 mobs on you and ur TBN didn’t crack
DF WHM just wait the first 11 seconds out with Shadow wall
By that point you can figure out if they holy or not
its a big fucking shield and you only have 7 seconds to break it
you just get a feel for when to use it
even when im taking sustained dmg in savage it almost doesnt break
also i dont really understand why this is an issue if its a dungeon 
are you dying? yes? you have an issue
no? you're ok
they assumed tbn always broke in pulls
Is there any updated resources on lvling Fishing in Diadem?
Mana for DRK is like a precious drug
pretty sure I might've stopped the drk in my last P4N from breaking their shield with Divine Benison 
oh, yeah
@oak lily I thot Divine had less priority than TBN
Not all pulls 
tbn should always get priority over every other shield
Obviously it won't break in the forced single pull areas
I just assumed tbn will break when you're pulling more than 1 mob in levelling dungeons
if its one of those really beefy mobs yea 
I mean if it doesnt break in some leveling dungeon its nothing crazy
at least you get the mitigation
always better to use it for mits than to just use it for dps when you're running dungeons
helps keep you alive in the w2w run I guess
i never trust my healers in df
never trust your tanks too
yeah I just spam it lol
I swear drk are harder to heal, barely see them use TBN in roulettes
I guess if you're single pulling that'd be a huge waste
the tank that doesnt regen all of its health with one button is harder to heal?
If your drk is geared and rotating cds and still hard to heal its a skill issue
heylo, i'm not sure where i've gone wrong but i can't seem to find the blu mage totem vendor and any associated npcs (such as masked carnivale)
is there a quest to do between the unlock of the job and getting the vendor?
-
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.
hmm it wasn't showing for me but i suppose i can check my completed quests if i did it or not
hmm maybe my memory is wrong..
but for the quest https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/List_of_blue_mage_quests
if it doesn't show at no 2 the job quests
ah nice, that list wil definitely help, thank you
but warden's wrath is magical
It does iirc. Shown as blue or orange. But I don’t recall which is which.
ah yeah, then just use battle log
battle log info will tell you : casting x attack is magic, readying x attack is physical
ok ty ty
untick the one that you don't need
and actions initiated by engaged enemies maybe
its not affecting past logs
No, it won't. The filters only affect the entries that get sent to the chatbox going forward. Once they've been sent, they're there.
It would be nice if we had dynamic chatlog/battlelog filtering, but
but is warden's wrath phys or magic damage
iirc that one is physical for some dumb reason
nani
can you only use cast in specific areas in diadem?
yes
is there a good resource for that?
ReadMe
FFXIV Diadem 5.21+ Fishing Guide
There are 4 skyfishing locations (Blustery, Calm, Swirling and Windswept). Coordinates are estimates.
Each of these locations has a rare green fish that is catchable during specific Umbral weather.
Bait for the regular fish does not matter.
You get get ba...
has coordinates for the various pools
thank you
it says there's a "flagged mission" for my squadron at my Grand Company but I'm not sure if I found it, is this it?
it has flagged mission in the name, dude
The raidwides in the current tier raids are predominantly physical. I have no experience with past tiers so I do not know if that's abnormal, but that is what they are right now.
just making sure.

what do I use irregular tomestones of scripture for?
have no idea, the shiba inu earring probably
Limited time event, u can buy mounts, some gear and cute dog earrings
There's an event moogle in each city u can exchange them there
ok, thanks
shoot i thought skyfishing allowed me to fish in diadem 
There are just regular fishing spots around
someone told me to come here to lvl after i got skyfishing
but seems inefficient time wise
diadem fishing levels slow
diadem is honestly not that great for leveling, unless you're double dipping for mats for your crafters
diadem gathering in general levels slow
all my crafters are already lvl 90
and for fishing in particular, ocean fishing is much better to level
so dont bother with diadem imo
Ocean fishing is much faster for leveling
Good to know
For EW zones, which classes should I use to solo grind FATEs?
Yes.
Any
wouldn't recommend ast at the very least
but anything else for the most part is fine
For some of the DPS they either can’t for some of are very tedious
Or are*
So was just wondering what are some of the classes y’all prefer
The ones I play
Chocobo companion helps a bit as well
AST is pretty much the only one i wouldn't recommend
I do switch off of AST for fates lol
I can’t run FATEs with DRG, MNK or SAM cause of the low self sustain
If you're worried about not surviving, I would recommend keeping your chocobo out to help with healing.
They don’t heal enough despite fully specced as healer
Those jobs can do it just fine
Also don’t aggro every enemy at once
Some of the boss fates see impossible outside tanks, and healers for the most part are too slow
Yep. And keep in mind you also have Arm's Length as a defensive tool and your lifesteal skill as a regen tool.
You don’t solo boss fates
I haven’t tested all classes, though I have all, I’m asking more so for everyone preferences
@narrow jay I use everything
personally prefer phys ranged for fate farming
and they have even worse self sustain than melees
I’m not mindlessly just hitting DPS buttons, I’m very aware of my role actions and other utilities
I have no preference, I just use whatever I feel like. Bard, Dragoon, Black Mage, they all handle them equally.
Personal preference? I used, funny enough, DRG SAM and MNK when I was shooting for fate ranks.
Well the Heavy and Binds are pretty useful for them
dont use heavy or binds
@jovial quarry did you have to ignore a lot of fates though?
cos one, binds break on dmg so its worthless for the most part
Nope lol. Chocobo helps. Just be smart about picking up mobs and power through.
the only fates you would need to avoid are the obvious boss fates where the music changes
the rest are all soloable
have chocobo out, pull smartly, don't try to grab more than you can realistically handle
I guess I should rethink, but I’m just having a difficult time overall
You're better off doing normal fates instead of trying a boss fight alone
The only class I can do all FATEs with ( and very slow at that) is WAR and GNB
Also I recommend either checking the FATE timer or the rate at which you're killing a boss if you take on a single-enemy FATE, because if it's 30 minutes or longer or you're doing ridiculously low percentages of health, you will want to break off and go hit a different fate. But minor single-enemy FATEs should be absolutely fine.
For DRK I have to reset sync or else I die
Again, you don’t have to do boss fates
And for PLD, even slower than the other two
To the point of it not being sustainable
DPS feel even less capable, but if y’all are saying it’s easy I guess I’m just doing them wrong
Pfft, PLD not sustainable
is there a lot of boss fate that give minion, card?
The time investment of using PLD takes on average longer to kill the fates than WAR for me
But I’m comfortable with all of em
@umbral dune in EW alone or all expacs?
https://triad.raelys.com/cards?source_type=FATE @umbral dune
Here you go
those can never be solo right, given the sync?
BLU can
blue can def solo
but ignoring blu, most of them are
they're just kind of tedious to do so
Hence why I haven’t a clue on what to use for EW
special tarsque is iirc not really fiesable by non blu
Any of them
I’m trying, it does not feel great to keep resetting so I don’t die tho
If you're having to reset then either you pulled too many and you need to be more mindful
or you're not utilizing your self sustain/defensive skills well
Pulling 1-2
Also I have AL proc, I use BB at 70, SW at 80
Like, I’m using everything here
with a chocobo out, you should not have issue with 1 mob, two can be a little tricky but doable
What is the best starter class for someone with limited MMORPG experience? I've played Tera (before the ownership switch) and some Black Desert Online.
Any
game holds your hand for a lot of the start
@real crater what did you play in BDO that you liked
I think it was the ninja class, I didn't play much since it felt incredibly easy.
And what’s you play in TERA?
iirc tera and BDO is all about dps class yes? ffxiv have the old school holy trinity role (healer-tank-dps) so which role you think you mostly preffered (probably dps though with your exprience). after role we can move to specific class suit your playstyle 🤔
No TERA has Priest for example
tera falls into trinity mmo
Summoner, Reaper and Brawler.
And mystic
What did you like more Summoner or Brawler
Also I think you meant Sorcerer?
Starting class means p much nothing cus u can pick up any class on the same character anyway
Those sound dps-y so arcanist/pugilist may be up your alley
I honestly preferred Brawler.
Well try Monk then lol
Or as you know it Atm, Pugilist
It’s got similar complexity, tanky when it needs to be
CC’s not a big thing in FFXIV for DPS tho
So don’t expect KBs like brawler
Well since insomnia is currently kicking my butt, I'll go hop on and try it.
Good luck 
Also if ur going to Crystal I can help you
My name here is the same as in game
So just let me know which world you go to
Does size matter for hitboxes with enemies in this game?
Ur hitbox is literally a single pixel
So there’s no difference picking b/w Lalafell or Roegadyn
Also when you drop in, switch to Legacy controls from click “K” or going to character configuration
Okay I dropped in Ul'dah (Nyelrar Sarinn) in Goblin

Is the Eorzea Encyclopedia pre-order only?
Or will I still be able to buy it after it’s released?
probably depends on how much of it will sell
they both came out a pretty long time ago so i'm guessing it's a preorder for a new print or whatever
Most of the merchandise tends to sell out decently fast, and restocks can be slow.
so my friend wants to get this, can you get it the same way you get shiva+leviathan weapon or is it something else?
It's craftable, which means you can also buy it off the marketboard I believe

Hello

Arigatou
gotta narrow it down a bit more 😄
like literally shiny? As in just pure light?
probably a Padjali weapon then
from potd
this?
fr....eel ?
!item Padjali War Scythe
how very helpful, kupo 
well either way, you get it from potd
if you have cleared at least floor 50 you can trade in your aetherpool score for aetherpool grips
which you can then trade for the weapon
you need 3 grips which are 10 score each iirc
you trade aetherpool rating for it, i believe you need 3 grips for the base weapons
yeah should be 10 score each
if you want the red version, you need to get to level 101, and it costs 10 grips, so 100 aetherpool
what's the stat priority for reaper?
thanks
What GCD does reaper have
Reaper doesn’t have a gcd speed buff or trait
Oh ok
So base 2.5 - skillspeed
because it changes to different skills during your cartridge combo
crit seems to be the norm for melee builds.
for melds
it edges out DH ?
Is there a good updated summoner guide? I looked at the one from !faq smnguide , but that's from 5.1 and summoner got reworked for 6.0

Is there anyone that would like to do deep dungeon? I’m new to the server and looking to make friends to play FFXIV with.
Not that kind of questions and help channel I'm afraid
There's a deep dungeon discord in #resources tho iirc
Weskalber youtube
thanks!
Thank you
i'm down but depends which deep dungeon
a little burned out from potd but i'm willing to help level
how rare is it to get 3 lines on wondrous tails
about 1%
is this rounded up or down
i've been doing mine for about a year now and have not gotten it
0.2% chance.
I was playing when Wondrous Tails first released, like 5 years ago
but 3 lines brings you straight to it
I have never gotten 3 lines.
Challenge logs plus fashion report weekly is an easy 100k mgp per week
oh neat
Itll still take some time but you'll get it sooner than later
Or you could just grind it out on the mining/logging machines or triple triad
Wouldn't recommend for your sanity
!faq mgpguide
Yeah to give my personal experience on WT 3-lines:
I’ve done WT almost every single week it came out since 3.4 or so, and I’ve only gotten it once for an Ornate chestpiece I sold for 15m.
I’ve gotten plenty of 2-lines that were one seal off of three lines.
23x / year ?
o thought it was a 2 week turn in
it is, but it resets weekly
so in 1 week if turnt in, she will give a new one ?
if you turn it in the week you got it you cant get a new one
ok.
but if you turn it in after the weeekly reset you can get that weeks book
so 1 more year for the elusive ~1%
i wish thats how percents work
yea, memorise the pattern then it's just praying game
ya...farming is sooo fun...like a roll of the dice.
so I was just tanking a dungeon, and I accidentally (and somehow) opened the chat and started typing the keys that I'm supposed to press for my abilities. when I realised, I went to close it, but I think I pressed tab first by accident and I was able to swap between the different channels (so party, fc, etc.) and changing the colour of the gibberish I had typed?
I have tried, but I can't seem to be able to replicate this... what on earth did I do?
If you manage to reroll the first 7 to the correct patterns, then you should be looking at 1 in 36 odds for a triple
With 7 filled in a 4x4 grid. If the 7 forms the correct pattern that can produce a triple line, that leaves your 8th stickers 2 correct spot out of the remaining 9 open space, and your final stickers 1 correct spot out of the remaining 8, 2/72, so 1/36
Being able to shuffle the first 7 stickers really help your odds, if you are willing to spend the resources to do the shuffling
sounds fun. i need to start finishing my WT more often.
