According to gamepur recent statistics (February 2022), Moogle has the highest population at 112k total and 12k active.
We usually compare jobs at 95th percentile not 99th
99 is too many outliers with crazy crit luck
Yeah I mean he's looking for an answer and that's a guestimation š¤·š¾āāļø It's not a perfect science but its an educated guess.
And padding strats
individual world population doesnt matter since you can just world visit
The 99 link is just what I had it on last time
also moogle is the unofficial french world so if you dont speak french youll probably have a hard time
I'm sure it doesn't matter to many but it matters to the guy who asked.
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
it's also over the course of a single day
And they usually discount a large portion of people due to the methods they use
Like a very very large portion
Agreed. And the time in which they collect the data has a big impact.
this is a thing tho
World populations are essentially balanced
uhm recently i've had some huge lagspikes on eu anyone else?
and the game just kicked me out of the game mid dungeon and doesnt let me in
my internet works fine every game is 30-40 ping
oh yeah on chaos omega
You can google the stats to see different estimations but nothing will be perfectly accurate. If you're looking for activity you could always use the community finder and search for active linkshells/free companies on chaos (https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/community_finder/?dc=Chaos).
Any resource for gear at level 50?
Buy ironworks with poetics
All unofficial censuses come with heavy caveats
E.g. only counting MSQ completion as āactiveā and thereby ignoring huge surges of new players as well as those who stop playing after beating the MSQ
Also they canāt count those with their lodestone profiles set to private
If you havenāt beat 2.0, do your job quests
A lot of folks suggest spending your poetics. https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Level_50_Gear_Guide
what does this setting actually control? it seems like nothing
character always turns instantly, or at the same slowed speed in auto-run mode
Do you use gamepad or m+k? You'll notice the difference on gamepad (or if you use Q/E to turn) but if you're turning with your mouse (like most people) you won't notice anything.
I use gamepad, still no difference tho 
It only affects the character rotate speed (not strafe or camera) so it depends on your mapping
ya, I think we're on the same page with all of that. I might do some googling about it
Where can I find a tank group?
what do you mean a tank group
To get nightmare
you can just solo it?
Or solo at like 70/80+
I have been itās all most 3am I started at 12am
So 15 hours
Rng is rng
assuming youre lvl 90 then 
No 81
Ya
81 is still fine
Rng is rng
Honestly, come back at 60+ and you can solo those fights as almost anything
A group isn't gonna make a difference
Solo it
My Friend Stole it from me
And youāre doing ifrit, Garuda or Titan EX, correct
Gonna be piss easy
Only the OG primals drop nightmare
Cuz for all the devs knew that's all they'd get to make

Ya Garuda
Just keep farming
reminds me of a farming group I was in recently, where I told them I had to leave soon
Bruh I have been for 15 hours
and the other guy still cllicked need on my drop 
i mean if he didnt have the drop then hes well within his right to roll for it
then why did he apologise immediately after 
Rolls are RNG, so he couldāve got it or couldāve not
probably was a "sorry that you didnt manage to get it"
nah, he just autoclicked it out of muscle memory and forgot
if you say so
If that makes you happy
.
Sounds like you're doing everything right, just having bad luck. Maybe take a little break and come back so you don't get burnt out/more frustrated.
Now my level 25 friend has nightmare and I donāt he did not know what it was called and got nightmare
š¦
That's a different mount
nightmare is pretty sweet, goes nicely with unicorn
It's not nightmare cause that's impossible
nightmare requires lvl 50 to get
Literally impossible for a level 25 to have nightmare
The winged black pegasus is from palace of the deas
Can't even enter that fight

And extremely expensive to buy off market
Or lootboxes
They couldnāt have even got it from a moogle tome event
If you're insane
Thereās many horses with many names
are the Padjali weapons considered spoilers?
No
Spoilers would be shit like what happens at the end of a quest line
Or where primal weapons come from in certain cases
You see them the very first time you do Potd, thereās nothing to spoil
It's too late now, but what's a good way to find a group for a boss Fate? Thinking of beating Cancer in It's Not Lupus the next time it pops up. The big crab boss, apparently it can drop a Smallshell minion. It does too much damage for me to try soloing, plus other enemies keep spawning.
shout the location
Use BLU
There wasn't really anyone in the area. Costa del Sol. Other than that I can't shout
What's BLU?
blue mage
Super busted
Er hm. Guess I'll keep that in mind. But that'd be way later on
It unlocked at lvl 50
switch your companion to healer stance, then yeah use blu and just burst it
The fate is level 32 tho, I'm hoping to do as my classes are around that level
BLU spell ignores level restriction
well you probably wont find anyone the regular way
so you can still use your lv 70 moonflute burst rotation
Also you can see if this works
also it's like 10:00 AEDT in AU lol
!action Missile
Deals damage equal to 50% of target's current HP.
Chance of successful attack is low. Has no effect on enemies whose level is higher than your own.
A magical imitation of warmachina technology, this technique allows the user to fire a barrage of aetherial missiles. When efficaciousāwhich, bear in mind, is not guaranteedāit sends a shock through the foe that appears to resonate more the greater their vitality.
Enkidu / Battle in the Big Keep
Guardian / Sigmascape V3.0
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4
but you could try shouting at limsa
Is there a resource for HOW MANY MSQ QUESTS there are per expac? Just wondering about my progress
varying from 80-100 afaik
the number of quests isn't a very helpful guideline since each quest varies greatly in length
that's just MSQ..
you can use consolegamewiki's list of all MSQ quests though
Alright guess I'll teleport and try finding a tank at Limsa the moment the fate spawns next time. Cuz it expires quickly. I could heal
What does vortex feathers do?
nothing
You craft with them
It's an old currency that doesn't work anymore? š¤
Ok
does ARR have the longest MSQ?
yeah
the DLC only have 10 levels, lol
used to create garuda weapons that have the glow
oh right... that's the garuda's feather š¤¦āāļø
sorry, made a mistake
I thought it's the red one bought with pvp's wolf marks..
garuda's feather does make something, the housing item/minion
I have scream of the vortex
yeah...
And you can make versions that have wind effects
would recommend to just ignore that kind of invite..
they are mass sent into new players... more like annoyance
oh lol
In terms of quests yes, in terms of cutscenes no
It has the longest patch msq too iirc
the expansions have less terrible pacing
Arr had/has an insane development history
They had a lot to set up
And like no fucking time
Is there an achievement for crafting every item?
Kinda
There are achievements for crafting x number of items for each crafters crafting log
there's achievements for crafting certain amounts of items
Which also includes housing items btw
things like master recipes and other such items aren't included in it
Other items in the extra tab aren't tracked
So basically the 1-90 listed items in the normal tab and the housing section of the extra tab
Oh and the flower shit for alchemist
guess who was dumb enough to grind out those achievements
Ah, gotcha thank you
You can check the achievements menu, it has a crafters section, also there's no Endwalker equivalent achievement. Yet
Or did they stop at stormblood
How do I get my friends into FFXIV?
I can't remember
Pick aspects of the game you think will appeal to them the most, and sell them on those.
Or apply copypasta
The copypasta doesn't work on everyone lol
That's a good start. Are there any videos that you'd recommend on the game? I find that visual aid makes it easier to sell.
I mean, without knowing what appeals to your friends, that's kind of hard to help with.
look, if I have the chance for a shitposty answer imma give a shitposty answer
Tell them the game is so good that they recently had to stop people from making new accounts.
*had to stop selling the game
right
Or that it sold out of digital download codes, twice in the past year
Larryzaur's "basically" videos could be a good place to start.
tell them that even asmon liked the story
Lucky Ghost also has a really good one
how bout the final 11 minutes of when the game was bad and they decided to nuke everything with a sick ass lore cinematic

The last minutes of version 1.0 of Final Fantasy XIV. Make room for version 2.0, A REALM REBORN!
If they're current/former WoW players, you can point them to any of the major WoW content creators who made the switch or tried out XIV as well - Asmongold, Preach, Bellular, and Grinding Gear are the ones that come to mind for me, but also like, even people like Echo's Rogerbrown if they're people who follow the RWF teams.

Final Fantasy 14 is now the most popular MMO in the world. Lets take a look at why, and lets see if it will be worth playing Final Fantasy 14 in 2022. Is Final Fantasy 14 good?
Yes, Yes it is. But why? Lets talk about why many consider this the Best MMO in 2022
Join my Club for Perks!āŗ https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCyeXkOdGbwveA-EtwQLeTY...
Most of their RPG experience seems to boil down to Genshin, Skyrim, and other mainstream titles. I'm trying to give a basic rundown of the game without too many details.
Imagine WoW not being considered a "mainstream" title
Otherwise, it might sound more intimdating than it is
Mainstream wasn't the right word. I mean simple.
This game is simple
That video is pretty simple and gives an overview of what the game offers currently. I can't imagine watching that and not wanting to at least try the game.
Mmos were never really that mainstream
Fair enough. I'll look it over.
If games like Genshin and Skyrim are more in their wheelhouse, XIV might be a harder sell, since it's a completely different kind of experience.
Games like Genshin and Skyrim have a strong emphasis on free exploration and level grinding, while XIV is basically the exact opposite.
uh, the free trial that you can play for the entirety of a realm reborn and the expansion heavensward with no restrictions on playtime
Might want to ease them into some more accessibly rpgs for something as big and well, daunting as ff14
is also a thing
Not the way that Genshin or Skyrim do, where they encourage you to go wherever you want and do whatever you want. XIV enforces a linear concept, even to exploration with the way you can't even go to later zones without following the story.
Exactly. It seems difficult to sell them on this. I think I could try to setup groups with a few in-game friends and FC members to help alleviate this, and let them more freely explore the overworld. Not having to worry about level too much and whatnot.
They can just do the trial and if itās not their thing, they can just dip whenever
yeah not to that extent but when i was a sprout i definitely felt like i could just walk out the city and start going somewhere and then run into an npc with random lore dialogue or a quest
Even with that, they'll still be fairly restricted in their explorations without doing MSQ.
XIV is not designed to be a sandbox like that.
and if you aren't a lore person i don't think there's much of a reward anyway
Same. And I did. Fates, random quests, etc. There's plenty of "open world" type stuff even early on but especially later.
I think if we could go past LV 15 we could be good to go.
for ARR areas at least it's not really limiting
except if you run into higher level mobs and die
Which is why I'd plan for us to group up.
I would say, tell them about the story, maybe stream some gameplay for them so they could see what they'd be getting into.
I hope it'd make it easier to explore
you could do that
Unless you start in Limsa
If that interests them, then have them pick up the free trial and try things out for themselves.
Watching gameplay really doesnāt convey how it feels to play FFXIV tbh
yea
Thatās why itās not popular streaming
No, but if they're interested by what they see, then they'll be more interested in trying it out for themselves.
imo its pretty boring to watch if you arent an ffxiv player
you need ⨠immersionāØ
That's my opinion, anyways.

Like, if you show them some high-level raid content with all the visuals on, that could be interesting enough.
^
what got me to play ff14 was watching a streamer do e4s though i didnt know thats what it was
Does Discord support PS4 streaming?
Not yet
But it does support other streaming
So like, if you have Twitch, you could set it up to stream to Twitch from your PS4
i guess that makes sense
Ah lousy a suggestion as this is for some people, you kinda just have to commit to playing ff14 and giving it a good go
For me, it was largely the Kefka and Nier stuff since I found that super interesting
and its award winning and critically acclaimed
If you try and force someone to play something theyāre just gonna resent it and be biased against the game
Or metal
Or something wonderfully stupid like brute jsutice
tell them if they don't play you will never talk to them again
I'd love to just say that, but when you have to make an account and whatnot, it's easy to just give up if you din;t have any real interest to begin with
Also show them the Bahamut cutscene
That's the award winning Heavensward expansion, thank you š
but tbh i think the best way to play ff14 is to go into it completely blind
End of an Era was another big one for me
#greatcommunitybtw
That's what the trial is for. Making an account is free.
Well that's unfortunately always gonna be there. Can't really avoid that problem
its either you give up at ARR or turn into a walking advertisment for the game
You can tell them it's worth it and that it's legit one of the best rpgs out there but as the saying goes, you can lead the horse to water but you can't make it drink
i honestly didnt have a problem making an account and it's pretty simple if you tell them how to do it
Let me just send a message in our Discord group.
But yeah, bottom line is - you can't make them want to play the game. You can try to lure them into it by making it look fun and cool, but it's going to come down to whether they choose to play.

Tell them about the cool shit you do and your favourite parts
"you can backflip off ledges"
~~tell them you can mod the game
~~
Friends usually love seeing their friends gush about shit they lovr
Hell, wow players gushing about shit they've found to love in 14 is practically its own YouTube genre
āHey, you wanna see me kill a god? Wanna see me do it again?ā
I love that genre
Same
The "how did I spend so much time thinking this was a bad game" and "this is how you do story RIGHT" bits are my favorites
my fave is watching pyro cry and call it a weeb game
One of the gods is named thal because the head of localisation is a fucking nerd and wanted to make "thals balls" a swear in game
Praise be to koji, King of the nerds
and then he made every npc speech bubble say that for the ps4 test build
What dungeon/raid/trial at level 50 do people farm for Ironworks gear?
roulettes
None of them. You do roulettes.
Tell you gen-simp friends that the game doesn't have fomo
you just do roulettes lol
dont go out of your way to do em
like the dungeon roulette?
The poetics from all your level 50 trials and dungeons in the msq
And crystal tower
You can get like, 1100 poetics per day just doing 50/60/70/80, MSQ, Alliance Raid, and Normal Raid roulettes
normal raid is 60
True
But the point still stands
Since Normal raid roulette is only worth 60 unless you get a first timer
No normal roulette isn't avialble til level 60
Dudes asking about ironworks aura
I just sent out a message in my server. Now I'll just have to wait...
thats the roulette bonus
Literally just do 50/60/70/80 content
Well the content itself still gives poetics
Those are just the bonus. You also get a quantity for each of the instances baseline.
Literally all of them give it
So any alliance raid will give 100
So you get 500 from MSQ roulette alone
msq roulette gives a fat amount
Dungeons in msq give 200 each
So just spam whatever 50/60/70/80 dungeon or whatever you like doing
After roulettes
so can you infinitely spam them for infinite rewards?
like minus daily bonus obviously
50 dungeons give a small amount but give 100 if there's a first timer in the party
You won't get the bonus after the first run per day, but you get the content rewards normally..
Same for 50 trials
Video
And this is all BEFORE the roulette bonus
Shit grows on trees
id say just do them as you go and you'll eventually get enough poetics
which is the one female voice option we were supposed to avoid again? I remember there's one that just makes annoying sounds all of the time in combat but its only like a singular one or somethin
Anything that's actually bad enough to piss/creep most people off/out is usually fixed
but most people afaik don't use it so its not as a common like "oh god"
Old lady viera and obnoxious bunny Bois come to mind
Is there one for elf lady to avoid?
not really
god some viera voices were..
Old lady Viera was patched out
requires people to actually play fem elezen...
Just pick one you like
They changed the Link bunboy voice
But yeah, just pick a voice you like.
You're the one who has to listen to it the most
its not about just picking one I like lol. Some of them, I think Miqo 5 as mentioned before, have this thing where they just won't shut up in combat all of the time
I recommend using alts or looking up the voice
Since the samples they give you ingame donāt have the voice for attacking
should you use poetic on your first character?
In FFXIV, characters make random "battle shouts/grunts" when fighting--you hear them constantly.
This video covers all FEMALE ELEZEN voice clips you hear on the character creation screens as well as all battle voices that you hear in combat.
#FFXIV, #Voices, #Elezen
āļø Emotes & Voices Guide
https://shadesgamesource.com/ffxiv/emotesvoices
ā«ļøāŖļø...
I'm just trying to make sure I avoid picking the well-known voices that are designed to annoy
Yes
yes, always
also, I think she's kinda cute.
Itās easy to get more poetics as needed
You will have no issues getting poetics for alts.
my current item level isn't anything spectacular
So just use 'em
Poetic gear is the best stuff at 50/60/70/80
it just seems like it will take a bit
Yes, definitely, absolutely
and cleared the msq dungeons
Can you buy lvl 50 poetics gears without getting to lvl 50 MSQ though? They might be capped and unable to spend them otherwise.
No
no
yeah I am just wondering for after msq dungeons
then yes
You can't get poetics without getting lv50 msq
always spend poetics
At all
You can get poetics by spamming Wanderer's Palace upon reaching level 50 without MSQ
Prae/castrum are the very first poetic dungeons
yeah, they said its their first char, so unsure if they can even buy that stuff yet.
It's a terrible drop rate, but you can do it
We just said they couldnāt
every day with you fuilt. every damned day.
^
Wanderer's Palace spam
you dont need a full set
That's 2x cap and a bit
After you beat an expansion you always want to get a full set of poetics gear. As it was the best gear at the end of that expansion and it'll be used til you get to level x5 msq of the next expansion.
you do not need a full set of ironworks
esp as a new player
just grab the weapon, and chest/pants if you have access poetics
and continue on with msq
the gear given from it is more than serviceable
The msq gives you gear, if you didnāt know
a full set is nice but completely not required
In between expansion there's a sizable amount of msq and other content that was at level cap at the time. And having poeticd gear will make it a lot easier
The gap between end Arr and HW seems very large
@terse thorn You're not even wearing your level 45 class gear, which will be a big upgrade over what you're wearing for head/gloves/legs/feet
and im white mage
yes it makes it easier but no new player needs to go out of their way to farm a full set
Itās not
esp since they're new and the priority should ideally be on msq to begin with
and the gear given covers you just fine
Do msq, and get Ironworks gear on the side
just let poetics come to you naturally
doing the quest rn
you'll get tons and tons just doing dailies
As you earn more and more poetics
I will see how my stats change after
Don't grind poetics
Just do that, do the 50 one to get the 50 set when you can, and then worry about poetics after you get to that point in the MSQ
The i90 you get from lvl 50 job quest will do for now
Then just slowly work toward ironwork as you progress story
Fair point
Finishing both the Castrum Meridianum and Praetorium instances at the end of the 2.0 MSQ will give you exactly enough poetics to grab that weapon
So don't spend your first 300 poetics from Castrum right away
had a whm in a 50 dungeon with a level 40 weapon it was painful, not their fault but it hurt
i mean it is their fault
someone complained about another's gear while I was in a dungeon
post ARR gives you a i70 weapon fairly early on
Nah that's fine at that level
Their armor was bloating them and they had basically that but the rest of their gear was ilevel 90ish
Which is basically twice as good
Oh yeah, unlock darkhold if you havenāt
what's darkhold
!faq fort of fear
Quest
!quest fort of fear
There are dark places that only an adventurer may illume, and Ser Carrilaut is about to point the way to one such pit of peril.
Carrilaut
Coerthas Central Highlands (X: 24.8 Y: 28.86)
Ophelie
Coerthas Central Highlands (X: 19.84 Y: 27.85)
That is darkhold
Optional dungeon
why that dungeon?
It is lvl 44
You'll get upgrades for a lot of your gear there
It gives lvl 44ish gear
Like that chest piece from Brayflox you're wearing
A small handful of dungeons are not part of the story, so you have to do side quests to unlock them
Itās also a leveling dungeon, so for alt jobs itāll be used to level
im 46 right now
It's good interim gear until you can get your class gear and poetics gear.
I mean I will be 50 sooner than later
But what's your MSQ level?
Still you want gear close to your lvl
Sometime down the line, you might want to level other jobs too
Its okay though, you'll need it on alt class, the gear usable for a while and its add more option to your roullete
Might as well do the unlock when you are at it
Ehhh, I mean, you can unlock the dungeon, or just do the MSQ and your job quests and you'll be okay.
It's just useful to have it unlocked
Aurum Vale when you hit 47 as well.
Also thereās gonna be a lvl gap between msq coming up, so having these unlocked will definitely help
If he's two levels ahead of MSQ, he'll probably be okay tbh
Oh it hasnt been adjusted post ARR rework?
The walls are still there, but they're not as significant.
I'm doing my 45 job quest for WHM right now, I guess I will detour to the 44 dungeon, MSQ to 47, then do the 47 dungeon
Once you hit 50 do that job quest asap
When I made a new character post-5.3, I only hit a wall once between 49-50, which was about 1 dungeon's worth of xp difference.
How hard would E2S unsynced be nowadays for someone who's unfamiliar with the fight?
Unsynced? Pretty easy.
Level 90, 580 ilvl
With a full party you can skip a bunch of mechanics if you're doing unsync
Definitely not soloable, though?
Gotcha
not until like at least 7.0
Need me that Edgengrace fending helm
Immediate previous expansion endgame content is never going to be soloable.
The only helmet in the game that looks good with Elemental Armor of fending lol
Would that still be a full party 8-man kinda thing, as well?
Or just for optimal deeps/mechanic skips
I think happy soloed o1s back in shb
are hair options different between clans of the same race?
But o1s is a joke
Some of them, yes
Can O1S be soloed nowadays? Easily, right?
I think that depends on the race. Cuz the two hyur clans are very different
Might as well nab the mount
O1S, yeah.
Mount is o4s
moon/sun cats, do they have the same hairstyle options?
Crap. forgot
The only ones that have different racial hairstyles is hyur @last kayak
all other races share the same racial hairstyles

Hyur have different racial hairstyles?

Never knew.
yes
ok, thanks @twilit arch
You do know what the word easy is right?
Hyur midlanders and highlanders are very different yes.
That would be a cool thing to add in the 6.1 hroth update

if it's not impossible, it's easy
Are there some fights that will never be soloed?
Yes
Probably
Good chunk of Eden is probably staying unsoloable
Mechanics are a thing, and they will kill you
Susano can never be soloed unless you can kill him fast enough to skip the intermission
Over time they've added team split and 2-person mechanics to most of the endgame content.
Which wonāt be for a LONG while
imagine if 7.0 just adds a class that has enough droppable damage to kill the sword with ground aoe 
One finger holding up the sword while the other hand breaks it lol
No puddle would last long enough for both swords
who said it's just one puddle
two puddles

question that includes a spoiler for the level 45 WHM quest
||Do all the level 45 quests just randomly spit you your job quest gear out? Like man I was praying over my dead master's body and PLOP there is the gear have fun š like what the hell.||
yes all the 45 base job quests give you 4/5 pieces of the AF gear
and then your 50 quest gives you the last piece as well as the i90 version
nice
what is AF gear?
whats dumber is that whm gives you an extremely short skirt or undies for your 45 af gear
and you wont get anything else afaik till 50
can't really tell lol
And the 50 AF legs are exactly the same
this looks like a horrible ilevel
Not really
Until level 50, your ilevel should be approximately within 5 levels of your class level
It gets pulled down a bit by accessories, since there aren't really any quest or dungeon sources for them
Hey everyone! Help me be a better Tank! I'm a GNB lvl 70. Started playing when Endwalker dropped. I've been playing Aurum Vale for moogle event. I always run out of CDs in the first room. I stick by the walls and tell everyone to avoid the ads and we wipe 40 % of the time in the first room. Am I doing this wrong? I use Arm's length and reprisal if we accidentally pull too many. It's usually because someone is standing in the wrong place. Then I'll use rampart and aurora when my 1st set of CDs run out. I always end up using potions to survive. I try to save nebula and No Mercy for the 1st boss because I can get it down by a quarter if I do it right. If we don't wipe in the 1st room, we wipe at the first boss. I EAT my fruit ALL the time. I don't let my stacks get more past 3. What am I doing wrong?
You're doing AV
You're not being healed
That's how AV goes
I watched so many videos to be better and I feel like I suck at it
Nope
Have your healer heal
It's not that you're doing anything wrong, per se
Donāt save damage cooldowns for bosses
AV just sucks, in general.
I got chided by a healer for not using CDs I thought maybe I'm using the wrong ones
Youāll get more uses out of them when using them for trash too
There's no such thing
But also yeah, like Wynne said, don't save your cds
Why not?
As wrong cooldowns
No reason to
Itās only a minute cooldown
More damage on trash = it dies faster
!action no mercy
Dungeons are typically 15 minutes long if wipes donāt happen
= you take less damage
60s is like, no time at all
Bosses are fucking pathetic
!action rampart
You blow everything on trash
Rampart's got a longer cd than no mercy
Trash is infinitely more deadly
So don't save No mercy for the boss? I'll try that
Also
Yes! Those floating jelly fish things are killer
For the event tomes farm... get three BLU to back you up
Thanks I'll try that
Shit will die so fast you won't have a chance to take damage
Or gets frozen before hand
Is it rude to tell people to stick by the walls b4 we start?
You're expected to stick to walls
I had a dps run doen the middle I was like nooooo
They're stupid as shit
I don't blame the dps, I thought maybe i should warn them before hand
Most people already know
Literally anyone who knows AV knows to stick to the wall
The ones who don't, either learn fast, or die
If they do it more than once, then you might want to say something
But don't bother at the very beginning of the instance
That'll just annoy people
Usually if you wall to wall it took almost 1 min so by the time you reach boss No Mercy already back up.
Even if you pull per mob, it will up early on boss pull at worst case so dont worry about saving it
How useful is Holy as WHM?
ok
Extremely
You should be spamming it
It's your trash spam spell
Holy is 7 whole seconds of stun on trash pulls
Thanks everyone!
Itās a discount tank immunity for every pull
eh
mine is lower I guess
You stun them 3 times
I feel so stupid saving it now
It's a consecutive stun
Each with diminishing returns
I'll use it early next time
You can spam it 4 times before diminishing returns kick in
4s > no effect > 2s > 1s
frogs in aurum are also kind of ass
Second hit always comes during the 4s from the first one
So you can spam it four times
One more question. I know I can stun the first boss. My team dies from the cleaves. Is there a tell when it's going to cleave my Teammates? There's no tell before the cleave I think only gold dust
If it's facing them
Always face the boss towards a wall when you can
Don't be infront of the boss as a dps if it known to cleave
Never towards the party
holy spam worked well
You do also need to heal
Thank you

Holy can't carry you.
Its okay ahaha. We are all noob at one point.
The only case i will hold no mercy is when somehiw there is one or two mob that alive due to uneven aoe dmg from party and have like <20%HP. I hold that no mercy for boss / next group so I can get full benefit of that 20 sec instead only some of it
did you just do it first thing for a pull
Yeah I only hold damage cooldowns at the tail end of pulls
Where most of the duration is wasted from going to the next pack
Itās something you slowly learn to eyeball/watch out when you get the idea of your groups DPS
Thank you! Awesome tips everyone! Yay!
yea
Also, that looks like you're taking the eye's AoE at full strength
that's the bad part
Cause why the fuck aren't you standing In the crystal lights
Is that before first boss? Does the tank stay in crystal area?
So the tank isn't pulling into the crystal aura
Stand on the crystal light
You take legit 0 dmg
Or close to
Then 1 or.2 cure 2s is enough
Slap a regen or something while running
That AoE does 1k damage to everyone if you're not in the aura and 0 to anyone in it
Yeah, they're all in the aura, you're not
That's the blue icon
and I got randomly flung
the boss also cleaves
if the tank is new and the healer is new and all the dps arent explaining the dungeon then DD can be a nightmare
its old dungeon design mentality where they thought having a dungeon that required a brain was a good idea
because it was an "extra dungeon"
similar to CC and AV
not saying you don't have a brain, it's just that the dungeons are just difficult for a first time clear if everyone is new
because the mechanics are punishing enough to force you to restart
and generally if you restart a dungeon, after two or three restarts they just leave
Itās normal to pull absolutely everything in the first corridor of Dzemael Darkhold all the way up to the first boss. Standing in the crystal glow gives a buff that reduces damage by an insane amount.
As a healer youāre expected to handle that
And to be honest it shouldnāt be any trouble even for a new healer
The damage coming out is easily manageable provided everyone is indeed inside the crystal glow.
I think the tank was a noob or got pushed
cause he wasn't able to go into the purple crystal 90% of the time
In the image you showed above you were the only one not in the crystal glow
If they're dying while running just slap a regen on them
Itās shown as the little blue buff icon of the eyeball guy
It's harsher for a Healer to be a noob towards something rather than other roles I feel
cause I am semi-responsible for everyone else living
Ideally they would have said something
āStand in the crystal glow area, it reduces damage by a lotā
If they could see you were new
yeah literally none of them spoke
Yeah not your fault, itās not necessarily the most obvious
on our dungeon run
we didn't even get the other random chests
like there is more than just the chest per boss kill
!action holy
You have this now
They just have junk and take way too much time to get for basically no real reward
It makes trash pulls waaaaaaay easier
should I cast it at the start?
Since you can stun all the mobs
I can regen the tank
My friend sent me a gift code for subscription time but I have no idea where to redeem it, everything google is telling me is item redeem but that doesn't work
have you paid for the game
e.g. gotten starter edition, complete, starter + endwalker
I did a long time ago but my sub died in feb
should be this then
I had the starter and the same friend just gifted me endwalker, prior I just had base game and heavensword
I'll try to find that
its like, at the dashboard
Oh that's not an option for me because i bought it through steam
This is all I have
try using a different browser/incognito mode
sometimes steam accts can be a bit weird with mogstation
Okay
should be there

they should really fix mogstation
hf with the later expansions
theres is no loot lockout in duty finder right?
i can keep queueing world of darkness to get the fancy caster hat and robe
the only weekly lockout instances are the lv 90 8 man raids currently
so yes, you can just keep doing world of darkness if you want
nice thanks
the whole account system is like 2000 era
at least we dont have to install and launch the game through PlayOnline
ive had friends that just didn't want to play the game cause mogstation was so arduously messy
is there a blu mage discord/channel for raids?
Okay so they gifted me Endwalker through steam and just told me steam should give me a code to redeem in the launcher, where do I find the code?
assuming you mean the product key you can right click ffxiv on your steam library then go to manage and cd keys should pop up
What is the difference between all healers, what do they each excel at, and how hard are they to play?
So thereās pure healing and shield healing
Ast and WHM are the former
Sage and SCH are the latter
iirc Sakaguchi himself played FFXIV at the end of last year, and even he complained about how bad mogstation was or something like that
does roulette only pick from the stuff you have unlocked?
yep
it helps a bit
though it depends on the roulette
if its not a leveling dungeon, unlocking it wont reduce queue times for leveling roulette
Would be weird to somehow get ShB dungeons if you only got through as far as ARR
It only picks stuff the job youāre queued with is able to enter
dont i know you from convergence?
Probably

While I wait ten centuries to download over wifi lol, which data center/server has the most active for RP? We're trying to decide on one now
!faq worldpick
!faq serverpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY

Uh
Niiice let's go Balmung & Mateus
yooo
Those are on crystal
so I've heard š
Is white mage supposed to be hard (positioning, healing, DoTing etc.) or am I just not good
No
Itās the simplest healer bar none
Whmās complexity comes from lilies and whether itās a good idea to use Misery or not
Which is only a thing past lvl 52 or so
76
Anywhere endwalker PC (not steam) digital download is on sale? Asking for a friend.
It just feels I have to spam cure
like
Donāt spam cure
nearly 24/7
Youāre a healer
Use cure 2
well yeah cure 2
I just feel I am spamming cure 2 more now
than I did when I was level 20-30
im 46
Narrator: They won't.
Itās practically griefing otherwise
nobody actually gets in trouble for griefing in this game lol, thats just a placebo they tell you.
I think we wiped
5 times in the Daerkhold Keep or whatever
the level 44 dungeon
Once cause I wasn't in a crystal
Itās reportable
another time because I got knocked off thanks to a frog
and I forget about the other 3 times
The frogs suck anyways
oh
2 of the other times were because in the first part of the dungeon the tank pulled too much and died
player reports have a function like this:
void reportPlayer(playername) { println("Ha, ha ha ha."); }
or didn't make it to crystal
pics from the dev environment or it didn't happen
False reports are a thing, but like the GMs arenāt idiots
if the player doesnt actually type anything saying they are intentionally griefing, all the actual griefing wont amount to any punishment.
thats how its always been
but I'll leave it here, its not channel approp anyways
Is the Hydraulic in ||Ultima Thule|| for anything in particular?
Spoiler tag
Was told spoiler tags weren't necessary anymore.
In lore spoilers, this is #questions-and-help
Okay, feel like that name doesn't really give anything away though. I could say vanilla pudding and it would make just as much sense to anyone not in the know.
superboss FATE
bro it's spoiler marked on the game announcements and ingame
Announcements?
!faq Role-playing
oof
is there a way to assign a personal marker over a target? Such as when a DNC assigns someone as a dance partner and wants to be ever-present of where they are on the battlefield?
Focus target can achieve that
Cognizant; but no, markers are party-wide, so if the dancer marks a player to track them, everyone will see it.
just that there can only be one at a time
too bad. Guess I will just use a macro and hope that the other party members dont overwrite it
For the record, you donāt need to be anywhere near your dance partner for the effect to work
So Iām not sure why youād need to mark your partner
it helps when you're trying to stack for Curing Waltz.
a nifty tool to have in places like bozja.
Ehh
Literally now, since he's the supervisor for the localization/translation team, and Kate has his old position for Creative Business Unit 3
Guys help me out here
How do you create a free trial account on steam as of now?
This game always had problems on account creation
Someone approached me with an error that would be fixed by creating the account directly on the steam launcher
But it seems that's isnt an option anymore?
Do you create the account on the SE site then link to your steam account and you good?
How come the license error comes up?
you download the trial on steam and then launch it and click create new square enix account
and it opens your browser
You can't download the other launcher without buying the game so I assume it is
You can buy the game without an account though so the creating option should appear anyway
!faq mogstation
Did he make a mogstation account
can you solo arr alliance raids later on?
No
:c
You need at least 3 people
Confirmed it's the right launcher, does he need a mogstation account or making one was the mistake?
Sometimes More because mechanics
mogstation account is required
What is this beautiful furnishing called
Also, is there a furnishing channel maybe? Not sure if I am blind or there just isn't one.
can confirm he has a mog account and there it says free trial, really dont know hwre to go from here
yeah, and there lies the problem huh
!faq freetrial
Just give them that link
If he register on the website, i dont think he can select steam
that link is the non steam free trial right? thats a problem cause for us the steam eventual payment if he buys the game, is cheaper
I guess try to unlink and link a steam free trial is his only choice
You can transfer to steam later
But if you want to play the trial right now, youāll have to use what was linked
you can only transfer after buying?
No only free trial (non steam) to steam full version, that is the only one allowed, no other way
so i got hte 30min leave penalty already today for missing 3 DF queues...if i miss 1 more, is there another punishment, or does it come at another 3 missed?
its another 30min penalty
If you complete a duty, the penalty count resets
any way to view a characters 'search info' if you aren't in a party with them or any other type of group?
if you have them friended
fair enough, ty
you can search for them in the player search, or you can use free company member list if you're in the same one
for example
why the 'view search info' is not on the target actions list when you can do that, i have no idea
maybe because of cross-server players but you would think wanderers show up in that search too
my only guess is that Player Search is a very database intensive request and they want to hide it as far as possible so fewer players use it
So for leveling fisher. Is the only good way of leveling it that boat thing in limsa?
i levelled with quests and grand company turn-ins. it took some time but why rush it
you can do leves and collectables (50+ for collectables) if you want
but ocean fishing is seriously the easiest and most painless way of leveling it, even if its an every 2hr thing
stat requirements are pretty low so you can get by with shit gear, don't really have to worry about bait
Because all my crafters and gatherers are 80+ except fisher at 50 something XD
fish are barely used in any recipes, there's like a dozen worthwhile ones and that's it
it's really off to the side as its own thing
The main crafter I like is culinary
even cul doesn't really require fish that much
Ocean fish have no use either
which is a tiny step up from MOST (like easily 90% or more) regular fish having no use either
current end-game cul food doesn't require any fish afaik, and even if it did generally it would be easier to just buy the fish
yeah all the fish that are used in recipes or quests are usually botted and sold for pennies
The CuL leve people do for money doesnāt even want fish
there a way to sorta to force certain actions to face to enemy when casted on legacy controls? things like passage of arms or BLU's Supernakha or Flurry Kick
all attacks automatically face the enemy assuming you have the thing ticked in settings
which is on by default
oh you mean the not attacks
passage has no target so it only does it behind you
those things, you have to aim lol
you can tap an emote before using the ability, like Converse or something
those turn you to face the enemy
and i think most emotes dont do animation locks
(just make sure to toggle /emotelog off to not annoy everybody around you)
Or use a simple target macro
You can also add āmotionā to the macro to take out the text
you can target untargerable cones?
Just a simple target with nothing specified
Or a textless emote macro
Like this
/yes motion
/ac "Passage of Arms" <t> does not turn you around, so not sure what you mean by simple target
Lemme find the exact command line
Itās not the target placeholder
/facetarget
Or /ft
that's neat

ooh that works, thanks
are there any list somewhere about waht is there to grind for fc stuff
In terms of FC credits/levels? Run the highest level dungeon that you can easily solo and turn the gear in for GC seals.
With a level 90 DPS, thatās probably the stormblood leveling dungeons
does anyone know at which expansions they stopped giving a fantasia with collectors edition?
i think both arr and hw had one
No only one of them
only HW had one
No
You get one for finishing ARR
ARR gives you a free fantasia when you complete the main scenario quest "The ultimate weapon"
ohh
yeah that must be it then
so why they stopped? at least it would have made sense for shadowbringers
to include one
It was a one-time thing for 1 collectors edition
I'd rather have a collectors edition with actual collectors items and not something u can buy all the time for 10 quid
i mean hw had that too
its not like the other collecots stuff has more
its still mount, minion and stuff like that
shrug because they decided not to
also you can still get all the collectors stuff
at least i can still upgrade my stormblood to digital CE
Itās cheaper to just buy a Fanta if you want to swap
yes, theres an upgrade system
Plus, the fantas are account bound, means u get them on every character u create
yeah but you cant send them over i assume :P
if each CE had a fanta you'd end up with 4 accountbound fantas everytime u make an alt, thats overkill.
does the upgrade apply to expansions you get "for free" with the latest purchase? if i buy endwalker today can i still upgrade the included shadowbringer?
yes
well for the expansions that feature a new race it would make sense
Yes but its each seperately
You upgrade each expansion separately
no if u want to switch race u buy the fantasia from the store
well id say it was included with hw because they want people to try the new race
so it would have made sense to do it with shadowbringers too
Anyone got some recommended options for making Gil? Should I run that tower of the dead for glamour gear? (Iām currently going through HWs)
do msq
Is that really that optimal? Iām trying to get a million
Hmm okay that sucks, ty though.
so while levelling i should just completely ignore all the collectible/scrip stuff right?
What do you need 1m for
