not sure you really noticed anything, that's not exactly a trend
Skills with damage fall off after the first target aren't uncommon
"unaspected damage" simply means it's magic damage and not physical damage
But that's just to balance shit in aoe
a lot of lvl cap skills for 90 are "big fucking attacks that are also aoe"
unless ur a healer
then you get some boring healing stuff idk
i think it's rather more to buff that skill singletarget
Thats what i meant
we want this to be usable in aoe, but we also want it to be your big strong finisher
isnt that standerd step or tech step
or does that have falloff too
Double down
oh ye lmao
Both steps have falloff

All 3 rdm finishes
Full confiteor combo
War Big ass flip
Shadowbringer
You get the idea
it varies pretty significantly
BLM gets an upgrade to a single target move
SMN gets their fat summons
are the summons not aoe?
don't really think there's any kind of general "rule" to the level cap skills
yeah, but at least its better than wtf was going on with the 70 skills
they are
We're getting off topic but tl;Dr almost everyone has some sort finishers with fall off doesn't make them all the same
the big summons even have a "better" aoe pattern
smol titan uses a cone, big titan is just aoe around target
oh was it ifrit with the cone? may have confused it
Smol titan is aoe centred on himself
today i learned ifirt aoe was a cone
well... marginally better
just again for the record, only smol ifrit does that
big lvl 90 ifrit does not
If there is 'Desynthetizable: 100" written in item's description that means that my Desynth needs to be 100 or equal to get full possible loot from item desynth, yes? Do I get any benefits from going even higher than that?
That's just it's desynth level
So what's the desynth skill level for then
Having a higher desynth level will get you better drops from desynthing
I'm level 32 I have completed the arcanist quest line but thubyrgeim has not given me the summoner quest line how do I start it? Thanks!
So the '100' in item description doesn't really mean anything?
You only level desynth by desynthing items that are up to 50 levels below your desynth level
Do your msq
Just upgraded to 12.3 and had this error - can’t log on at all. Has anyone had any experiences with this and what can I do?
Oh okie
Okay thanks!
So if your desynth level is 150 you get no exp
Did you remember to check if ff14 supports 12.3?
Cuz I'm pretty sure it don't
@warm snow so do I need my main story quest line higher? It's only at around level 20
Thanks kat!
Last question
If I want to farm item with 100 dsync level for its material what desync skill would you say I need?
More is better
Fuck
It's still rng at the end of the day
Thanks it doesn’t
Hate to say it but you fucked yourself
so i bought msq skip to shadowbringers a long time ago, now i wanna start ishgardian restoration but it seems to be already completed? is that part of the msq skip?
you can still do all content associated with the restoration however
And you can still use it for levelling crafters and gatherers to 80
you still turn in stuff for xp
except for the leaderboards
You can try this. Seems like an alternate launcher for mac that supports macos 12.3. I can't vouch for it though, so use at your own risk. https://www.xivmac.com/
Thanks - has anyone done this?

a question: how do other tanks deals with aggro in alliance raids?
context: ive been running dun scaith as drk and i noticed that very often ill steal the aggro from the mt even if i didn't mean to and shirked them before unless if my co-tanks are fellow drk(s). i tried turning off stance but its hard to pick up aggro when the mt died to tankbusters/provoke is off cooldown. any suggestions?
If you take it, keep it
(to be fair i feel like you can say i need to git gud™ but yeah... i like to hear others opinion thats not that at least)
And don't turn off your stance
If you're that worried turn your stance on 10s ish into the fight
alliance raids are casual content
Shirk doesn't work on tanks in other parties iirc
And if you take aggro again well then you're either out gearing or outperforming the other guy severely in which case you should be mt anyways
in the end it doesn't really matter who has aggro
if you ripped aggro off the other beta tanks then keep it
if they really wanted aggro they'd do more damage
the most important thing is to not fight over the aggro tbh
if you have it, keep it, but if someone else vokes for whatever reason just let them
If they end up provoke taking it back like a child you'll probably just rip it again
Yea, just don't be spinning the boss if aggro is swapping
you'll just annoy people if the boss spins
adversely, if you got aggro but didn't want it, just turn stance off
aside from that there aren't really any important tank mechanics in alliance raids anyway
I'm pretty sure most multi target tank busters automatically target the tanks regardless of aggro
(assuming they are alive)
yeah usually id just pick it up but then i had runs where the mt just provoke the boss to which then i steal the aggro again, which makes the boss spins
that's just the other tank trying to compensate
Then sit on them and rip aggro to assert dominance
but as stated
if they provoke and can't keep aggro
they succjust keep doing what you're doing and you'll get aggro back eventually anyway, or just turn stance off and continue on
i just dont want to annoy people and its not like i wanted be mt 
if they provoke and still lost it, there is no way they can maintain it, better to just keep it to avoid confusion to melee
Best person for the job should do the job
If you're outperforming them without using provoke you probably should be mt
Your gears probably better and that just makes it easier for healers
chances are, if they can't DPS properly, they probably aren't mitigating properly either

That guys shortcomings are not your problem
looking to do a data transfer to the most populated NA server, any recommendations? thanks
you dont want to be mt, that is okay but you always need to be ready to become mt cus that is part of the job
they are all populated
any
I know this sounds snarky or toxic or w/e but if you're taking aggro that way, you probably should be mt
yea like either keep aggro or turn stance off, shouldn't be a big deal either way
@solemn jewel@robust crowty, the reason i ask is because i wish to go to most populated NA server so i can find more things to craft and sell and find more friends
if you are already on crystal then you just aren't looking hard enough
literally any
most populated
more things to craft and sell
that would be very counter productive
they're all pretty full
more people = more demand
but also more supply
so it'll either even out, or there'll just be a fuck ton of supply
also this is the part where im ???? at. like im a lv60 ilvl270 sprout drk, ive never met another tank thats below lv60 (given since its dun scaith min lvl) but i kept out aggro-ing these level 70-80 tanks??? what is happening here 
they are synced down to your level anyway
Bold of you to assume levels = job knowledge 👀
ilevel is irrelevant once you're past the sync
270 is definitely above (or extremely close to) dun scaith's sync
A) They just don't care about optimal play
B) The level you got synced to isn't that well balanced
gear isn't going to make a difference unless they don't have it
Gunbreaker at 70 is a fucking fiend for example
and does low-end DPS numbers
compared to other tanks
it ain't always gonna be balanced before max, especially when they tweak jobs for expansions and shtuff
i see, thanks for the feedback everyone! probably just have to stick near the mt so the boss doesn't have to spin if i rip aggro again (at the cost of getting cleaved in the face
)
Typically you stay 45° from MT so you don't take unnecessary dmg but also don't cleave the party if you do take aggro
just be the alpha tank and rip aggro and keep it 
Or that 
Is dark knight a viable class to tank with
!faq meta
||I’m search for track of a woman singing, it’s the same riff as Eulmore theme “Pain in Pleassure”. I know exactly how it sounds in my head, but can’t find it in OST. I’ve heard it few times already, early Shadowbringers||
Tomorrow and tomorrow perhaps
Yes and no it seems
I never heard that song
But! The part at 3:28 is exactly what I’m looking for
Knowledge Never Sleeps. Crystarium night theme.
Also congrats you’ve found the main musical motif of Shadowbringers lol
Thank you thank you hahha
Figures it would be that one, didn’t scrub on it enough
@faint flare you are a walking encyclopedia
you’ve been in this channel for months it seems like
why
You pick up a few things over like 7 years
do you just like helping people that much?
Damn there must be something better than this, but your valiant efforts helped guide hundreds
So stand tall
And thanks
There's a few regulars who don't have the mod or mentor roles.
is it possible to buy a sub w/ payoneer
If you can use it to buy Crysta maybe. I'm not sure what Payoneer is though.
Tbh anyone that just hangs around in this chat here and there is golden
Helps out a ton
Especially since this is new peoples first ‘direct’ interaction with community
So it’s make it or brake it
Helped me out a lot too all those months ago
Important yeah
A few years perhaps
gettin' into discussion territory
Still less HP than tanks in 5.5
is there a way for a macro to inherit commands from another one? reusing the same few lines for some gear swaps and would like to avoid having to update like 25macros if i make one change

Are Eden Savage raids still loot locked?
So I can farm it to get the gear tokens on savage now?
Yes
ok cool, thanks
are the older raids still needs to be done with dedicated static or you can do it with random pug that plays with one hand
well the problem is the random pug filling up at all
for older raids
but if you find enough people to run it, they can certainly be done on PF
you skip almost all the hard shit now
light rampant is skippable on e8s nowadays
lions and maybe even statues are skippable on e12s

In need pvp help
what's up
Whats the best job to use for killing? I was using mch but only had access to 3 movies and i didnt even know how to use one of them. I was just spamming my heated shots
read your tooltips
the best job for killing is the one you're comfy on
go to Wolves' den and sort out your hotbar
Can i practice somewhere to see which job i want to use? Or do i always have to go in game to see the move sets?
go to wolves den.
wolves den
also
dps bursts
other players characters make a lot of sounds but mine is just mute apparently
Casters make no sounds
hmm
is that in system or character settings
it'd be in system
i can hear other peoples characters making sounds
er
i mean like
vocal sounds
not sound effects from weapons
you muted sound effects
double check your audio settings
or there's something wrong with your game install
bc sage is pretty loud https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=x3WVVzzz2uU

they mean voice lines
like the shouts
or the miqote voice 3 obv
which casters just
don't do
have you tried hitting a dummy for a bit to double check that you are certain your character isnt making any battle sounds?
have you adjusted your listening position
i assume you tried restarting?
samurai definitely makes noises
your listening position is very close to your camera
try putting it up to 100
it's just for some reason she only makes noises on Gekko
nvm, just made a shifu noise
ok set it to 60 and now its audible yeah
Hi is there anyone on Light- Shiva who can get me this stuff PLZ 😁✌️ I pay for it of course.
Here is the precise complete list of what I cannot get by myself :
Four lords x2 (A dude called "Blue Merchant" in Tamamizu, at the Ruby Sea)
Il Mheg flower plant x1 (pixie beast tribe vendor)
Those cannot be traded
So when a window pops up asking if I want to do something “yes or no” it always goes to the no first. Is there a way to fix this?
No
do yall bother keeping a phoenix down on you? since it's unique and u cant use it in combat, seems pretty eh for a invo slot
nah
only time i would recommend it is if you're doing potd 1-200
with a group ofc
but even then thats kind of w/e
is there a more efficient way of finding hunt targets than just scanning down the map like a printer
ive found old reddit threads mentioning some plugins that will scan your game memory if youre ok with that
i would rather not
otherwise no
i usually abuse the fact you can see hunt targets from pretty far away so i dont actually go to each exact coordinate, if that makes sense
basically only way unless someone else shout it in zone, but at least you get a notification when you are close

U can actually buy them and put them on a shared house.
is there a way to make a BLU macro that will swap to one of the 5 saved skill loadouts instead of having to do the 4 taps in the BLU book
ooh tyty
because you have to clear p1s this week
or join a party with someone who already has
Oof
weekly lockout means you have to go in order every week
That’s just how savage works when it’s on content
or find a group that's on the floor you want to clear, but do keep in mind you forfeit loot of previous floors if you do
6.2
6.18 more likely
given they unlocked savage slightly early all thru shb
and will likely continue with that
which of these two ilvl 130 sets should I get at lv50? which is easier
nowadays you will always go for the poetics gears
what do you mean by "level caps"?
The old level caps
ah thanks
so my friend mentioned at lv50 I should already have mats to almost buy an entire set of one of these
did he mean the ironworks one?
yes
awesome ty
its not mats its a currency
You get 600 just by doing castrum and praetorium for the first time
Do literally any 50/60/70/80 content
Level 50 - Augmented Ironworks Gear (ilevel 130) from Mor Dhona
Level 60 - Augmented Shire Gear (ilevel 270) from Idyllshire
Level 70 - Augmented Scaevan Gear (ilevel 400) from Rhalgr's Reach
Level 80 - Augmented Cryptluker Gear (ilevel 530) from Eulmore
cool cool, thank you! so it should be naturally aquired quite easily
yes
awesome
once you hit 50 you start getting poetics in roulettes and dungeons, you will get a bunch by just playing
and... how do I check the ilvl of my current gear to compare?
character window
been capped for months cause I'm lazy
Ilvl of each piece is in the description
oh right
Giant ITEM LEVEL XXX
your average ilvl is the blue number
The star number
much appreciated friends 🙂
Also listed in your gear sets by default when saved
if you hover over the equipment, it shoulds you the ilevel of that piece, the average ilevel should be somewhere on the top right of armor view
thank you!
does 1 chesting a group in p4s remove the mount from the table?
In a 1-chest clear, the chest received is random
First Floor:
Chest A: 2x Accessory Coffer
Chest B: Accessory Coffer
Second Floor:
Chest A: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer + Weapon Tomestone + Accessory upgrade material
Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer
Third Floor:
Chest A: Leg Coffer
Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer + Left-side upgrade material + Weapon upgrade material
Fourth Floor:
Chest A: Weapon Coffer + Mount
Chest B: Random Weapon + Chestpiece Coffer
yeah rng
so i wouldnt have any of the currency if I havent done any dungeons since hitting lv50?
the 2 msq dungeons are lvl 50
yeah just about to do them now
yea before hitting level 50, you can not get poetics
You dont really start earning it until those
you typically have to beat an expansion in order to unlock the poetics gear for it
You should have your job quest gear
yea before hitting 50 its a bit more annoying to gear, but once you do poetic gear have you set
yup thats what Im currently using, thanks 🙂
the avg item level for them is 42
they don't expect you to have good gear by then
the job gear is like 90
is there a discord for ew fates farm?
Anywhere to post a streamer event talking to the singer of FFXIV songs?
I have 4/5 of my lv50 job pieces equipped but ilvl 36 only
or is job gear different from the lv50 job gear
Ilvl 90
the job gear itself is ilvl 90
You haven’t done the lvl 50 quest then
yeah only the 45 one
hey guys, hunt trains is something I can join and still if im still lv 60? Or ppl are only doing it on higher level zones?
Or opened the chest given
stormblood is the first proper train you can j oin
ow ok then 🙂 thanks
Thank you
Should i do side quests as a first timer in FF14 or focus entirely on MSQ?
Msq and job quests
you were right, my ilvl is 60 now after equipping the ilvl 90 ones. thanks!
are purely for lore
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.
Mid-Stormblood small spolier below, it's a question
||People of Dotharl Tribe get named after a great warrior bearing the same name, right? What if one of them died before becoming a great warrior? Like if Mauci of the Seven Swords has never found his calling and died as a weakling, would his name be lost forever and thus line of Mauci's 'reincarnations' would end there?||
It's also not that they're "named after", but rather that the Dotharl believe in direct reincarnation.
As far as they're concerned, Mauci of the Seven Swords is the same person as the previous Mauci of the Seven Swords.
Yes I get that part
So it's not that dying without distinguishing themselves as warriors would end their name, but rather that they wouldn't expect to see that person reincarnated.
Ohh that makes sense, like Mauci got 'washed up' with hit X-th reincarnation, thus no longer deserving to be reborn
That was actually the first aetheryte current quest which turned out interesting enough for me to finish the whole 'questline'. Are more of them like these or is it just a special case?
Yes, it's more like that.
Seeing them as exactly the same person makes it easier to understand
a lot of the steppe tribes have lore that gets expanded upon in the next 2 expansions but people seem to sleep on them
and by that i mean their beliefs bring up topics that get expanded upon
Sadu kind of goes into it a little bit when you're introduced to her when she says "What, you think my name is a man's name? Well that's because I was a man in my previous life."
But she is Sadu because she always has been Sadu, from the Dothal perspective.
kinda like buddhism but not really
"The flesh may perish, but the soul persists."

I love how much attention was paid to all three steppe tribes so far, or even four counting the mute ones in
Really makes the world feel more alive
They're very good at worldbuilding lore.
Like not everything revolving around ||Doma vs Empire||
There's a lot of it in the game alone, and then there's more in the Encylopedia Eorzea books.
Which are literally encyclopedias.
Storytelling and worldbuilding just keeps getting better from expansion to expansion
Can't wait to progress further
Just you wait.
You're in for a ride
Stormblood, for all its name, was kind of the calm before the storm.
Is noclippy widely used by the community? I play on Crystal, while living on EU and tried the plugin just now. It feels like I've been playing in slow motion this whole time
#archived-lore-spoilers would love you
They told me its not a spoiler apparently^
Good to know for future reference, I was actually looking for it and all I found was people discussing EW
Will ask questions there next time
Thank you!
🤷♀️ some people use it, most people afaik don't
the issue here is you're playing on crrystal while in eu, so ofc you're gonna have shit ping 
#952271956479201380 exists, as well
just for future stuff
dunno if this is the place for Gposing discussion, but I'm trying to get a shot of just my weapon in the ground over a vista. Any way to make my character invisible while my weapon's in the ground after Circle of Scorn?
Not without addons.
you can hide your character in base game but idk if it hides just the character or the weapon too

What class is the fastest for farming ARR atma fate?
BLU
Need to equip zenith weapon for atma to drop tho 🥲
You have no other option
I'm planning to get it for every job so yeah, I can use any class for the atma
I wouldn't know if you can do it with other zenith weapons equipped I did it on whm and never touched it again because of how horrid the books are 
you can
Yeah you can since the atmas can be used for other zenith
I mean you can grind them so like why wouldn’t you
atma doesn't care which zenith you have equipped
so long as you have a zenith equipped
personally prefer phys ranged for lowbie fate grinding
Bard it is, thanks!
can also go with like one of the expac jobs since they tend to be fairly strong at low levels
Issoke we all are forgetful sometimes
Is 6.1 April 12th?
It’s gotta be though right
It's sometime between now and the heat death of the universe.
Is the heat death April 11?
most likely april 12 or 19th
Actually what is this heat death? An event in ff14?
it's fairly easy to predict that it'll be the 12th

the 2nd liveletter for a patch usually being like ~10 days before
Unless it’s an April fools joke
Damn. Our entire universe is gonna die on the 12th. Crap
they said on the last one they didn't want to reveal the pll date because the date for 6.1 would be easy to predict

I’m just glad we are getting an original story with this alliance raid series
No crossovers
wdym we got an original story with crystal tower and void ark
and technically the nier raid was an original story
it pretty much had nothing to do with ffxiv though
Eh, kind of. They were original stories but based off prior content. The new one coming up is totally 14.
i didn't mind the cross over glamour options they gave us, though i do wish it was easier to get
CT had a lot of references to ff1 and ff3 (?), mhach was the last ""original"" alliance raid
in that the only thing taken from other games was the bosses and a character
the twelve are unique to ffxiv though, so this will probably be the first truly original alliance raid, like asphodelos.
Aboot tim tam
the tower itself is pulled mainly from 3, as are a lot of bosses encountered in the raids
ff3 is the primary inspiration
how do I add sound effect on my macro, but for just me
ty
which DoH jobs use overlapping ingredients/materials?
goldsmith, blacksmith, and armorer
probably
but all of them use ingredients from each other
they all overlap all over the place
some more than others
alchemist and culinarian are the two that are somewhat isolated
im planning on getting some of these DoH jobs to about lv 30, so just planning on which jobs to do one after the other
ill do armourer, blacksmith and goldsmith first then
my suggestion is to just get them to 20 and then do ishgard restoration
ok thank you
20 is the minimum required level to start ishgard
thats a good idea thanks
partways for alchemist. They don't rely on much from other DoH, but they do have a lot that is supplied to others.
Hello, I stumbled upon a Reddit comment saying
'Note that if you don't exchange the zodiac relic for the nodes in the anima step, you have to bring the weapon to buy the replicas.
For ease of use, I recommend exchanging it.'
What does it really mean?
honestly dont know what that guy is talking about because ive never seen anyone trade the ARR relic for the HW step since its literally just doing fates
Exactly what it says
If you want to get ARR replicas you have to have the weapon on hand, unless you traded it in for the anima step
Yeah if you don't turn it in you have to keep the arr relic for replicas
I almost complete my anima weapon without trading the old zeta in, is it fine to still trade it in now?
Yeah you're well past the point of it mattering
basically if you have a zeta, and you turn it in it makes buying replicas more convenient in the end
because you don't have to hold onto the zeta
if you don't turn it in, you have to keep the zetas if you ever want to buy replicas of previous steps
i did this
less inventory clutter, for one
after you get the replicas, the weapon itself is useless
If I turn in my current zeta even though I almost finish my anima, I can still buy the replica the convenient way right?
well if you've almost finished your anima
turning it is useless unless you're doing another anima
since its only for the first step of anima
Yup yup I am planning to do them all
then ye you can turn in whatever zeta you have for any subsequent animas you make
The first few steps can be (animated and awoken) but once you get it to anima and beyond it can't be. other than those, it has to be replicas

What do people do with their completed anima weapon then? Just store in retainer?
Rip
Relics end up with custom sub stats so they're not compatible with the glamour dresser
since you don't have to worry about holding onto anima like zeta
What about subsequent relics from the other expansions, do they work the same way?
i have a section on one retainer just dedicated to anima weapons
can't bring myself to toss em
Grind to the final step, get replica, toss
yep, completed eureka/resistance/etc can be tossed freely on the final step
replicas are easily purchaseable
its only the ARR relic that's awkward
as replicas were not a thing for it until HW
Every final form relic to date has had custom sub stats of some form
That's what I was thinking too, but if I'm planning to get multiple relics, space would really be an issue 🥲
Eureka were completely random so they honestly sucked
Oke that cleared up all my doubt, thanks everyone! ❤️
You may want to keep Eureka weapon for if you ever want to do Eureka or BA farming.
That's true, they just suck to deal with
ShB relics are also bis for all current ultimates due to the custom stats
Gain exp as a level 90 job that doesn't gain exp...
Just wondering, why is this the case ya?
you can't gained exp while lvl90
they include extra eureka stats
so no, rested exp is not used up
Physeos eureka weapon (fully upgraded + BA materials used to upgrade it optionally further) has elemental bonus to let you crush enemies in eureka even harder
Well final form does
It’s great if you play eureka a lot
The previous form which is identical glam wise doesn't iirc
It’s like the final form+
Totally optional and doesn’t even give an achievement
And no extra stats except the elemental bonus
So it’s for eureka fiends
On my to do list once I 10/10/10 bozja
Okee thanks for the explanations!
so i have this gearset macro, and occasionally, it glitches out sometimes and doesnt render the soul stone micon...is there any way to fix that? otherwise works fine
/gs change 16
/wait 1
/gs change 1
/hotbar display 8 off
/wait 1
/hotbar display 9 off```
do i need a bigger delay or something
like this
Are you on that job currently
yea
That's why
sometimes it still displays even when im on the job tho
Using items for icons need them to be in the inventory
If it's not then of the game checks and updates the macro to check the status it clears the item
theres no way to work aorund taht so it "doesnt" always do that?
You could use a job micon?
is there a way to do it so you have the basic one like crafters if the 1st micon doesnt exist?
Yes it's updated
what materia can i put into a staghorn staff, ive bought like 20 different types and none of them go in
numerous issues with this
-
materia isn't worth worrying about till max level
-
does this item have materia slots?
-
what materias have you been buying anyway
oh and 4. do you have the crafting level to slot materia?
- quest
- yes
- intel, str, piety, savage aim, heaven's eye, gatherer's guile
- yes
Also see the item level on the materia
That's the minimum ilvl the item needs to be to take that materia
that was the problem thanks
Those first two don't work lol
Their functionality was completely removed
!item intelligence materia iii
why the fuck is it still in the game im literally smh'ing my head
spend 8k gil on pet rocks
trolled
se making the poor crafters poorer
Well they didn't make it untradeable so it wouldn't fuck up the market board at the time.
And some people like collecting this kind of old useless shit
just replace them all with "rock" sellable for 99g
Like hq dye
They basically did lol
You just didn't read that it was just a rock
yea that's the thing
game isn't very clear when it comes to low level materia
it doesn't start making actual sense until later levels
when things become standardized
yeah ill read the eula for ffxiv too while im at it
Reading the flavour text, usually 1-2 lines, of an item you're buying isn't a big ask
well to be fair
ARR is full of noob trap items
1 hand wands for white mage, for one thing
I mean they're functional and at certain points the best gear you can have til later into arr, but yeah
for crafting
buy them
truthfully
gathering crystals is very slow and painful
but you can use that one gatherer's skill to boost your yield significantly every few mins
i don't remember the name of it
but really I'd much rather just pay for them, I value my time more
Also killing diadem sprites, if you decide to go with restoration
where can i find diadem sprites? i need to get used to the combat of this game again so i can just practice on them instead of random mobs
Ishgard restoration, it’s a crafting thing
ohh ye, sorry i remember now
Also you don’t fight enemies in there, you build up bars on a instakill cannon so you get more materials for said crafting
to practice combat just hit a dummy
to practice combat under stress just join a prog party for savage
or i guess normal raid is fine too
Where's the setting that allows you to set the default size for all menus?

Not seeing anything under UI Settings HUD tab.
oops sorry
form and function, its from pyros lockboxes. can also buy from the marketboard
ooh alright thanks!
There any issues with the servers right now? My friend list is only showing six people on. Don't think I've ever seen so few people on before, especially not at this hour.
is there a skill on BRD that spreads the DoTs to surrounding enemies
no
I wouldn’t say gnb is especially complicated but it is busy
And has a few timers to track
you can dot while your tank is pulling, but since songs no longer proc based on dots

can just safely spam quick nock/ladonsbite
What happens if we play casually and don’t track timers?
You kinda have to track the timers
depends on the thing you're running
Hmm
But they’re gcds that have cooldowns
Something that only GNB and MCH really have much of.
Yea about gunbreaker after burst strike do u run out of no mercy 🤔
In a normal opener
Given the lack of such a skill and the fact that Endwalker removed the intrinsic necessity of Bard's dots being active from its core playstyle, their use in AoE is recommended only while running during a pull, and then forgetting they exist once the party stops.
Maintaining them on a single target is still advised.
got it 
A common complaint with GNB currently is that fitting all potential cartridge uses (including extra ones from Bloodfest) and the full Gnashing Fang combo is essentially impossible. Iirc the GNB guide has your burst leave one or two GCDs outside of it, with the precise one left out changing depending on which minute you happen to be on at the time.
I feel like taking away hypervelocity and ready to blast or increase the duration would be better
*of no mercy
That is a common remark.
which of these roulettes that I have available to me do I want to do?
or should I be doing both each day?
both
Leveling for experience, main scenario for experience+tomestones
Main scenario does take longer to do though, due to the unskippable cutscenes
is the main scenario only one of the two lv50 dungeons?
It’s only Castrum and Praetorium, yeah
yes
The 200 from the duty itself
And then the potential of another 100 if someone is new
ahh I see
You can’t compare EXP through the displayed rewards, as it uses a generic arrow since the EXP scales
17 minute queue jesus christ
And the “Adventurer in Need” reward is pitiful experience and not the actual daily bonus
oh right
yup I was looking at the adventure in need exp thanks
That’s not a real indicator for time, like at all
Could pop before, could pop after or it could never pop
Afaict the 17 minute means: estimated wait time based on recent players who have queued and got in this dungeon/raid/etc using the same role as you do

its a moded version of one of the default hairs
Bah, go figure. Ok thanks.
Yeah if the hair goes lower than the neck, it’s likely modded
Hello guys, downloading the game after watching an unhealthy amount of videos not sure what class to pick. What is the premier tank and support/healing class of the games if there is one regardless of complexity?
Unless there’s a really long vanilla hair I’m forgetting.
!faq meta
hey
i got a quick questionm
so the carbuncle slippers, there is no difference between which i buy right? since i can dye them
but what about the carbuncle outfit, it says dyable, but is the carbuncle on them also dyed?
I think their undyed colors might not be achievable with dyes
look them up, are they undyeable?
they are dyable but i dont know what part dyes
IIRC The primary color, AKA the blue/yellow/red
(Can’t remember if there’s a red/Ruby version)
from what ive seen with the suits, the carbuncle on those isnt dyable though
so basically i can get any slipper
but for the suit i have to decide which colour i want
How do I make some gils without doing any profession? I'm mainly doing raid, and food/repair cost much but I have no income.
Game the market board
Sell stuff from tomes, do roulettes, sell stuff from gc seals
!faq Gil
!faq gilguide
Turns out making money ain’t that simple
So Bozja and DR contents can start at 5.1 but need to finish 5.4 at some point to prog?
is that part really relevant for DR or leveling? I thought that place was the unwanted cousin and is pretty dead
It gives the same xp as bojza but more mettle
Some people level in zadnor zone 3 so they can get honors onto of it
is one better for grinding the weaps?
Bojza cause zadnor is only used for 1 set of one time only quests
And the memories for all the quests only drop in bojza and not zadnor
Hmm, so no simple money making that's just enough to pay back my raiding needs. It can be a problem at some point.
Just desynth stuff and sell the mats while selling tome stuff
That's literally how I do my money
And I'm the type of person who buys like 300 pots during the initial weeeks
Yeah but how do you get tomes ? You have to actively farm it.
By doing my dailies?
Like everyone else does
Yeah, well, I don't
I legit been capped on aphorisms and poetics for ages cause I'm lazy
And I ONLY do expert
And not even every day
I cap my astronomy then go off the week
You only need 5 expert to cap each week
Less if you factor in tomes from weekly clears of normal and savage
I'm almost capped on Aphorism
Yeah, astromony is so easy to cap that I don't have to do anything for the rest of the week. That's why I don't do roulettes. So I get no tomes.
because I only have whm and rpr at 90, and my next-highest in nin at 70
Then that's your problem for not doing roulettes
Indeed. But I'll doing roulettes basically just for gold then.
it adds up
I'm not used to do things for gold in the mmos I've played before.
Most of the times gold are for those who want to collect things, buy gear, or just making gold for the sake of making gold. I was never one of those.
If you roll on everything and desynth/trade for sells and sell that stuff it's quite abit for literally doing nothing
It's literally just play the game normally and sell stuff you get
there's tons and tons of passive moneymaking methods
retainers make money
doman enclave
As I said earlier, game the mb
Find a niche and abuse that niche 
One for each combat job at least
Each roulette is around 15k Gil or so with the adventurer in need bonus
can you slap an old EX and hope the crafting mat drops
well that's one solution too, then
Or sell stuff from bojza/eureka while you work on relics
Demimog Demimateria from Moggle Mog drops is usually pretty decent in value
Some of the other ARR EX materials can be decent money for how fast you kill them, but they’re pretty volatile
does endwalker ever go on sale
Eventually
so not yet, and probably not soon
It's still only like 3 months and abit old
I wouldn't expect an expansion to go on sale within the first 6 months of its life
yeah i forgor it came out recently, in my head stormblood is the most recent and endwalker is just floating in the void
So I am hearing conflicting reports, some people tell me melding poetics gear is a good extra source of damage/stats while now in novice network people are telling me I shouldn't ask stupid questions like "what melds do I use while levelling for SAM"
You don’t need to meld pre level cap
Melds while levelling barely does anything cause you swap gear too often
And substats are tiny
that isn't even a stupid question, thats just a really common one
I mean I'm getting insulted now in novice network that I'm asking stupid questions lol..
Just for asking this
NN can either be a decently chill place, or just a place for mentors to flex their burger king crown
hey yall im looking for someone to help teach me about the game im as fresh as it comes to FFXIV
!faq newplayertips
The game also explains as you go
oh god
also yes what pratai said, you dont need to refer to the guide for as long as you just read as you go along
the game teaches you slowly
Press buttons, don’t die
if you need any clarification or questions specifically, you can go here
Do everything on and under the msq tracker
Well I added 3 mentors to blacklist.. wow.. legit insulting me for asking a question, think I'll just log off for tonight, goodnight all thanks for the help anyway
You can also just leave NN
I want to help people, but these are the people I'm being put in a chat with
But yeah you're right
Ok am I a bad tank for dying from 1 mob pull? In a level 71 dungeon?
Are you using mitigation
Were you geared?
Yupp
If so then healer was shit
theres some factors there but uhh, mitigation, gear and such, what mob was it?
I’m overgeared
Healer was literally afk
Was the mob before first boss
Sage seems to not handle well in dungeons
They're fine
Nah
Sage can easily keep people from barely losing hp
That healer you had were literally afk and not pressing buttons
I feel like I hve to try to pull 3 ads at a time or the sage couldn’t handle it
They were shit
Granted I was a pld too
I was trying to heal myself and mitigating

Literally just press any button and you would be fine
They were basically afk
Sage cooldowns are very strong
I think they were dpsing
Ah so the "I only heal with kardia" shitter
Ye
@jade stratus I may be wrong in this mindset, but usually as a tank, your job is to keep threat and delay death as long as you can if you still die after mitigation and such, its usually not your fault (unless you stood in everything) but I've had times where I was like "oh I made a mistake" and turns out the healer said "sorry I wasn't paying attention"
Even at 70 between physis, hamias, terachole, kerachole, soteria etc they heal perfectly fine
Lots of times they were distracted by their baby crying
I see, I never tried sage yet
I love scholar because the fairy heals while scholar mitigates so it’s a perfect duo
The fairy is basically Kardia but you have control over kardia
Maybe in 7.0 they could add more kardia type abilities to some of their current abilities might help if kardia is a ogcd
Applying Kardia is a ogcd with a 10s cooldown
I see
So a smart sage will switch it off the tank to top off other people if needed before swapping back
It’s just like dancer yeah, but healing
I love dancer can’t wait to pick that one up after I level my pld
the sage guide from the balance has a section that's literally "here's the scholar equivalent of this skill"
and it's like 20 skills long
Wow
Addergall is basically Aetherflow
In Basically every sense, it's just automatically generated
1 per 20s vs 3 instantly every minute
Is sage preferred over a scholar in raids?
The thing is for scholar I don’t think I barely ever used the speed ability much
In raids
I think I’d prefer if it was another aoe heal instead would have been more helpful for me
the movement speed bonus is actually really really good
Tbh
it helps deal with a lot of mechanics
after finishing daily roulette, which one should i spam if I want to cap out on aphorism
Lv90 dungeons directly
Don’t spam roulettes
oic
damn balance updated their sage guide
i can't find that ole google doc they used to have
with the 20 skills long scholar comparison
I think momo has a chart comparing them in healer discussion video during media tour days iirc
oh
i found a screencap of it that I took
here you go, lol
i don't think it was a "this is a 1-to-1 equivalent"
it was more of "this skill is similar to what you'd use in the same situation on scholar"
Hello. I have a question regarding the eureka elemental armor grind. Do I have to go through the weapon grind first? Like get the final eureka relic weapon piece before the elemental armor?
Nope
Whats the max elemental level gap in eureka between you and your party to not incur exp loss?
Like 7 or 8
Ah thats pretty ok. Thanks vinyl
ideally you want to be as close together in levels as possible though
so you can be farming the same mobs
Thanks for the help. I just finished SB MSQ last night.
Shadowbringer next u gonna like it
Speaking of eureka. Any tips or tricks about the grind? I’m gonna start doing it this weekend
Buy the kirin osode/vermilion cloak if you're gonna be there for awhile
The extra stats go a long way to keep you tanky
Why is there no trait saying anything about the effect that enables use of Primal Rend - i.e. some trait to upgrade Inner Release, which Primal Rend says is the source of the Primal Rend Ready buff - on WAR?
Cause it doesn't
Like I assume the text is added in at 90, but... why is there no trait, like EVERYTHING else, that reflects that change?
It sounds so complicated.
Any skill that props off another skills you already own just gets the abit added with no trait
It's just some money on market board
Ok I’ll remember that
!trait Enhanced Ikishoten
this has it
And yet True thrust, chaos thrust etc on drg don't get a trait for when they get fang and claw/wheeling
this isn’t really the place to be complaining about nothing
....I wasn't complaining
I was asking a question
because it felt like an inconsistency
why is there no trait for this either 
whatever, thanks for answering
What's the strongest hp restoring potion called?
probably some Bozja item
I’d highly recommend watching mr happy’s guide on eureka, there’s a lot to know if you want the cool stuff
why do i fly really slow when i first summon my mount sometimes? i can fix it by slamming my camera up and down. its like the game doesnt realise im off the ground and is using my ground speed until i remind it im in the air by moving my z axis
How does arms length work as mitigation 🤔
It slows people
Slow
It makes them attack slower
No unless you.make it extremely obvious
does unsyncing or leaving and returning to a FATE remembers your progress before you unsync/leave?
Progress is saved until you completely leave the zone
zone as in the whole area like "North Shroud"? what about switching zone and back?
Alright thanks!!

Do I have to finish the MSQ before I can get my mount to fly? I saw a level 24 sprout flying with his chocobo
In ARR you have to beat 2.0
If you have something unlocked, it doesn’t just disappear if you have a lower lvl alt
Oooohhh
Switching jobs can lead to funny
what level can you get a mount?
Msq lvl 20
man im at MSQ 25 and havent heard a word about them i wonder if i missed something
!faq mount
When can I get my first mount?
The quest that allows you to use mounts,
''My Little Chocobo'', is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest
''The Company You Keep''. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose, and you'll need to buy a Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 required Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes immediately after ''The Company You Keep''.
Are there any differences between mounts?
Some mounts allow multiple people (2/4/8) to ride at once, with all mounts having the same movement speed. A partial exception to this rule is the SDS Fenrir, a mount from the Mog Station. The SDS Fenrir acts as if you have the first mount speed boost obtained from completing specific quests in the story, making it a bit faster than other mounts, but only until completing the relevant story quests for that zone.
Can I make my mount faster?
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
s are your friend
Are you chances of getting a primal's spell on a BLU greater if you do Extreme rather than Hard?
(unsynched)
It depends on the spell rank
synced is 100%, unsynced only depends on spell's rank
primal spells are rank 5
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Blue_Mage_Spells_Learning_Guide
this table has ranks
Meaning you could be there for a while
you can solo titan normal synced
use basic instinct and the defense thingie
mighty guard
good call, when i was doing it i just followed that table, so i didn't know about that
Only ifirit uses the learnable spell in normal
And Garuda and shiva are the two extreme exclusive spells
you can still solo the (hard) version then, i remember soloing him synced
