You'd need to use your account username.
every frontline
you get more if you win, obv
i believe it's
750/500 for a loss (depending if you're in 2nd or 3rd)
1000 for a win
what does "Shop Selling Price: [amount] (Restricted)" mean?
It means it's not a regular npc that sells it, but a restricted one, like beast tribe ones
Or the calamity salvager because you haven’t done the appropriate quest
hey guys, i posted this question in the daily questions and FAQ thread but thought you guys might be able to help as well
I bought ffxiv on my main steam account in 2014 but forgot the login info, so i made another steam account and bought FFXIV and the xpacs up to shadowbringers on it. i logged back into my main steam account and would just login with the credentials of the FFXIV account based on my alt steam account. now that linking steam accounts came, i was able to link that FFXIV account to my main steam account and it works fine. question is, can i buy endwalker on my main steam account since my FFXIV account is now linked with it, or do i need to buy it under my alt steam account? my alt steam account shows the xpacs i have when i click DLC, my main steam account despite being linked to my FFXIV account shows no DLC/xpacs. i dont want to buy endwalker on the wrong account, anyone have any ideas?
which is what you need to enter on mogstation
Should just matter which you apply it to
yeah
oh so its not the sell price?
i hoped to buy some mounts from the moogle tomes thinking theyd sell for 120k to an npc
No it's the buy price
For Wondrous Trails, can we unsync run Extreme raids and dungeons and stuff and it still counts?
Do you have to know the mechs for em? Because I don't know the mechs XD
Just obvious stuff for HW, like using dragonkillers; none for ARR, just kill
How do i find out if the character name i want to change to is avaliable?
Don't know if there's a better way, but could try creating a char with that name
Do you lose your sprout at the end of ShB or post ShB?
At the end of post-ShB and whatever the new playtime hours requirement is now
300?
!faq sprout
The
or 'sprout' indicates that you are a new adventurer in the game and is only automatically removed when you have met the following criteria: 300 hours of playtime and completed the main scenario quest Death Unto Dawn.
The icon can also be manually removed by typing /nastatus off into your chat. This isn't typically recommended as it helps other players gauge your progress into the game.
Oh nice faq
I definitely already meet the playtime criteria. :x
At 1990 hours.
Holly shit 1990. I'm about to hit 2k hours.
Weird question but no spoilers pls
If a character appears on a side quest, can that character die at one point?
That wouldnt make much sense right?
Everything happens in a time bubble
Stuff that happens in the story doesn't stop npcs from being at their intended spot for a side quest
Even when the scions move to Mor dhona, minifilla stays in the waking Sands if you haven't picked up those quests, despite also appearing in Mor dhona
Time bubbles
does apartment also expires the same like normal housing?
No
how about fc apertnment
No, so long as the house itself doesn't expire
are ppl from light data center lagging in dungeons/raids ?
weird I'm not experiencing anything :/
but my fc did say he's lagging, but yeah can't relate
i'm having lag too but i'm on chaos
I was in p2
It seems like EU in general is having issues.
Eu may be getting ddos'd
any tips for Masked Carnival 29 my gear right now 😭
has something to do with what you do and figuring out the mech than your equipment...
yeah I mean I keep dying to the point I have reds in my equipment XD
The Masked Carnivale Stage 29: Red, Fraught, and Blue is notorious for giving even experienced players a hard time. I'll show you my strategy for this, including some safety strats and how to recover when you mess up.

oh sorry ._. misunderstood
The only real thing that gets people is the hands
you are using healer mimicry yeah? hehe
Then burst the large with another and shock strike
dps mimicry
ah ok
130 stick is not important right?
Or just save some primals spells
or should I use the 240 stick?
I'm ngl carnival 29 is just the hardest one
I only had an issue with the actual timing
hands weren't an issue
I fr progged that shit
I mean the fire is ez

is the LE HANDS
Just elctrogensis and shock strike
If that's not working then save more primal spells
It's just a dps check
wait am I using the wrong spell, I am using reflux XD
kk thanks
is it easier with dps mimicry? 🤔
You have more dmg via the stats but you lack healing without chunking alot of mana
If you're good with mana management and white wind usage it's fine
Healer mimic is safety
I did with healer
How do i get expert daily to unlock?
hover to the expert roulette
Unlock the side dungeons
it should tell you to do the 2 latest dungeons
expert roulette is just random dun from 2 latest dungeon released
Well 3 for now
How do i get them? I only see complete following ??? And their both question marked
In old sharylean
do the blue quests you saw
As the game said when you finished the story
How do I share a fate and ask people to help me?
You just get a gold rank
type /partyfinder , create a FATE PF, in the description say the name of the boss/achievement FATE
people who are also interested in the achievement/boss FATE, will join and help you

Lynx Of Divine Light, which drops from the second EW EX trial
If you haven’t done that fight yet, don’t look it up
Hello everyone ! So i was downloading ff14 again and try to play
But the game is downloading very slowly somehow
On which platform?
On the FF14 launcher
!faq quicklauncher
I tried the commandd to type in cmd but it didnt change a thng
Are you in the EU?
Yes
Is that a launcher ?
Possibly DDoS, possibly something else.
That's likely why it's taking a bit longer.
should i use this one isntead ?
if its a server issue it wont help
It generally downloads faster and has plug ins you can get for QoL stuff
downloads from the same server
is there a way to keep the shadowbringers title screen up? kinda waiting to progress story and ive very narrowly avoided the endwalker trailer everytime it sends me back to title screen
Not without plugins
The trailers don’t play unless you afk at the start
yeah i know
its also not the longest time tho
Just setup.exe
just wish i could keep it on ShB until i reach endwalker
btw if you use steam
Nah i use mog station
ah okay
cause i think you need to link your accounts first before you can use xiv launcher
The default launcher makes you do that before getting to patching/updating anyway
Is it working fine with the mog statino thing ?
yes
but once again, if its server issues you wont download faster with the third party launcher
The alt launcher works for both non-Steam and Steam on Windows
Did mention it was likely server-side lol
Yeah but maybe it was just my fault or smh
people complain ingame about lag too on eu servers
Not to say quicklauncher isn't a good investment for the future.
after so many attempts finally finished 29 thanks for the tips
A friend i am with on discord is not experiencing lags at all tho
Just right now there's some issues across regions, and it's not consistent between players.
Also, if i'm starting the download on the fast launcher, can i keep the progress on the official laucnher ?
Hey y'all, so I got this weird thing going on. Everytime a party member loses a de/buff, like Peloton, Galvanize, Poison, etc, it plays a noise; more specifically, Type 3 noise. I've gone through all my settings and I can't seem to figure out how to disable this.
id say it should, but rather complete the download on 1 launcher
once its installed you can freely switch
how does desynth works? from battlecraft 1-3 for example
is there any categories that give me either 1/2/3?
like a certain range of dow/dom gears

Dumb question: if I purchase the expansions (On steam) is the content automatically unlocked or do I have to install them?
you input the code like everyone else
You'll have to download expansion data after registering the codes
does anyone know how to get flame seals?
Fates and levelling roulette until you rank up enough to turn gear in
I'll look for the codes, thanks!
Do your hunting log
So, I've decided to farm Eureka for glams, and I'm new, so I'm farming solo, I'm lv 6 but I dont seem to be getting any of the Magia Board thingy for upgrades.
And there is no quest whatsoever on the map, is this right?
hunt log/levelling roulette
The quests aren't tracked
handing in craft items
You have to actually read what krile says
Go talk to her again and read
From my experience, 1 is below ilvl 30, while 2 and 3 awkwardly shuffle around each other past 50
But tomestone gear always gave 3’s in my experience
The earliest thing you can desynth for grade one would be Brass Ring
ok ty ty
Is it listed somewhere what the "Battle Effect Settings" for PvP Opponents shows between the "All, Some, or None" options?

Holy can't be the only spell that it doesn't show. I always wondered bc there are some spells I don't care about seeing in PvP and some that I kind of need to see.
Where do you use tomestone of astronomy and aphorism?
Wheres that located?
Should I wait to finish MSQ before I do the questline for another role
might as well split the exp
Do it whenever
I dont understand
That's for crafting and gathering
Did you actually beat EW
The other alleyway
Quick question for those that have / used a VPN for this game. I was using wtfast but It ultimately ended up not helping, I swapped over to Exitlag for a bit but since I've moved I get random DCs with the VPN on so.. im looking for other alternatives, I used Pingzapper but I flat out DC'd within 1 dungeon run. Which VPNs have people had success with?
I don't DC at all with no VPN so I think it's just a routing issue with the VPNs?
!faq mudfish
Mudfish is a very affordable VPN service that can improve your connection quality and lower your ping to the game servers.

Dook's Mudfish Installation Guide
How to Enable Mudfish for FFXIV
Setup for consoles using a host computer
Internet connection sharing
this is the one I use
I tried that one before, I sadly didnt get much luck out of it, but perhaps I can try it again
it's dirt cheap so it's not a big deal to put a dollar into it
I'll try it tonight for reclears though, was considering doing Battleping but i've never really heard of ppl using it for this game
ah yeah haven't tried other than mudfish
Exitlag has been reported to have issues with ff14
I count right around 130+ bot accounts surrounding me in player search in the Shroud. Gibberish name archers/bards, in parties or AFK, with attacks and skill cooldowns going off under the floor below me. It's pretty astonishing for me to see, especially coming from Limsa with none of this wackery. I'm genuinely wondering, what do these accounts presumably on free trial stand to gain, and is/why isn't action being taken?
bots are handled by banning them in wave
taking action immediately is never way to go vs these bots
also you could trace where the bots are interacting and will somehow find a culprit behind it, or something like that
and yeah, they are on free trials
We don't really have direct lines to GMs or the SE user account action people, so beyond asking "did you report them", bit hard to answer if action is or isn't being taken.
I can't seem to select them or closest PC target them when they're under the floor, or do something from player search
I see some announcements about RMT bans, but not sure if that includes all these accounts. They're decently high level too
That's why they're glitched through the floor, yeah. Targeting needs line of sight.
I see. Glad to hear that then. What is their purpose though?
Same as all bots.
its ultimately a never ending cycle of wackamole
They’ll be taken care of, just go about your day
How long after it released was the ShB soundtrack put on streaming services?
Farming pointless things, vendoring them to accrue currency, trying to sell it to ... whoever it is that actually buys game currency off of sketchy websites.
It's a ritual as old as time
or at least Runescape
Ahh.. This game holds many firsts for me, and bots like these is one of them
RMT is the "invisible" hand
ah yeah, this type of bots are quite common in every mmo hehe
the soundtrack came out in september 2019 and then to spotify in august 2021
Remember patches exist, I presume the Spotify list included everything from 5.0-5.55
People buying their products is, in fact, how they make money, so yeah.
It's uploaded on spotify how it's sold so it's still separate there, but I do imagine they withhold streaming to encourage sales
nothing from the patches is there

Almost everything from the shb patches is in the later smaller albums like scions and sinners and death unto dawn. Idk if they're on spotify
How do you unlock the ability to play triple triad with Heavensward NPCs? Wiki says playing with Gibrillont requires an early HW MSQ, but I still don't see the option to challenge him nor the icon above him despite having done that.
Have you unlocked triple triad duels in the first place?
If so, probably needs more msq
Quest sync
It syncs to your level
Between a minimum and maximum, usually that expansion's level range

You also can’t cheese them with a different job
yeah I dunno about that
all he has for me is the sidequest 'Drinking the Pain Away'
I guess I'll try completing that?
Oh? I accepted (not even completed) the sidequest and I can challenge him now.
Well of course if he’s offering a sidequest that takes priority when interacting with him
Normally when an NPC has multiple quests or whatever it'd open a drop-down menu to pick something, so maybe this is a bug?
No, TT just doesn’t count for that
do you need to be facing your target for weaponskills to execute
i would just check this myself in game rn but im kinda far from any test dummies
Yes
what level do i have to have botanist and fishing at to start making money off them
Can't fling spells behind you
tick the setting that allows you to face the enemy when you cast spells/weaponskill
the thing with the
find a niche market and you can make money as low as the 20s
"automatically face target when executing ability" option
yeah
nail down low level mats no one wants to gather and corner the market
it also messes with your movement
it keeps the
Use legacy and it doesn't
how do i use legacy
/cconfig -> control
let me bring out mspaint to describe
the first option
ah
Legacy let's you move.like an actual mmo and not tank controls
how would a niche market make me money wouldn't it be really hard to sell anything niche
A niche market for the most part is something people don't think to sell but others are actually willing to buy
So you can take advantage of those sales by being one of few
doesn't that kind of thing require a ton of game knowlege
not really
Time consuming i would say
If you want to make money, you need your market research
housing items/mats would be a decent place to start since people tend to not want to make their own or gather their own stuff
you can eventually come across one
just check every once in a while in certain sections
also can't you buy most mats up to 20 from npc merchants
last time i checked quest fish sold for around 10k and above in materia
And people are lazy and go to market board for everything
Opposed to walking to the npc
Like
Very very lazy
Exploit the lazy
It's funny when stuff you can easily buy from an npc sells of a ton of gil just from people's laziness
Is there a list of dailies and weeklies (and how to unlock them if need be)
Or lack of knowledge said npc exists

misread 😹
Hi I’m completely new and was wondering l, what’s the fastest way to go from 30 to 60
MSQ
and do your duty roulette once a day
The game isn’t like other MMOs in terms of levelling
MSQ can probably get 2 jobs to max
Okay ty and certain jobs I have to be 60 to switch to them?
Yes
Yeah
DNC and GNB yeah

ok so im not done with endwalker and still in my first quests but is this a spoiler? this is an image i saw on reddit
am i spoiled or im safe?
No, it's just the world
It’s a map so not really
You can see it when you hit zone 3
so the world is called ||Etheirys?||
Spoiler tag but ||yes||
cough
||Well that’s a spoiler but very minor||
cool very cool
again, tag it
ok so not major spoiler im safe whew
Eorzea is just the continent where we started
yeah i guess #archived-lore-spoilers was the right channel to ask this but
nice to know that

I'd also avoid reddit
^
Anything ff related on social media till you beat the game
Pretty much any EW spoiler you see will be massive

Deep, dark, faraway...
Which are the level 1 striking dummies?
Summerford farms
i know there's a hingan one and the normal one (spacing on it's name)
I mean the housing item dummies
Oh for housing

There's more than just one level 1 dummy, right?
Not like level matters too much, you just need to be the same level or higher to not miss your attacks
I usually use the equal level one, Is there any benefit of using the lv 1 one?
cause I usually practice my opener till the dummy is killed
You'll never miss it
oh right
They’re all identical in function
But the level 90 one uniquely has a shit ton of HP in relation to the other dummies
Like, dungeon boss a lot
Probably more
what are fetes
oh that one >.>
are warriors an easy tank cause in my experience warriors are way easier to keep alive than other tanks
especially drk
Yes
technically yes
but you still have to use mits smartly
not just raw intuition bunga
Cause they have ridiculous self healing at lv52
They definitely have the easiest DPS rotation of the 4 tanks
!action Raw intuition
isn't it 56
This let's them full heal with 1 aoe in trash
Least amount of damage oGCDs and not much technical stuff to worry about
Like a specific GCD to help with a specific cooldown
They also have equilibrium which they gave a regen to cause they need more self healing
do drk get a life drain
yeh, as a DRK you need to be more mindful about their mitigation hehe
!action Abyssal Drain
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Restores own HP
Cure Potency: 200
Additional Effect: Restores MP
Shares a recast timer with Carve and Spit.
60s cd and half as potent as raw intuition
in dungeon scenario that is
is blackmage to hard for a new player?
It's....something
check out the weskalber guide
They're near identical
A vast majority of.skills translate over between the two
As they have the same core premises
1-90 BLM guide
i find sch easier since it's simpler
probably scholar. sage doesn't have the best recovery tools
Scholar burst healing edges ahead due to getting 3 stacks immediately vs 1 per 20s
and its much more on the "plan out first" side w/ mits
yeah SCH starts of as lv 30
Both are fucked if you run out of stacks
i guess you could also like ET/recitation for a makeshift benediction
both are about the same, shield healer don't have much burst heal, so just don't push your tank HP too low like AST/WHM
SGE has the equivalent with Zoe+E.Diagnosis
I don't really agree with that
cause you won't be able to get em to full HP in short time 😹
shield healers have the passive heal which helps
I mean yeah, but in the same way smn has healing...
It's actually depressing cause it's so much worse...
you don't have to actually try so hard to avoid overhealing, that in return

scholar and sage mostly have equivalents, i would argue scholar is ever so slightly easier due to fairy doing auto healing and being more straightforward and on-demand with resources depending
If you.have stacks then sch/sge burst heal can be decent, but without it is very lacking
fairy/karia carries at low level
but like if you play one well you'll play the other well
so black mage is ok to play as a new player if I follow this guide?\
Yeah
yeah just play it and learn it
Any job is okay to play for new people
I wish we still had media tour Zoe
All jobs are okay to play as new players
Which doubled the next heal
any class is okay to play as new players
Same
Pick what you think is cool
It's easy to be mediocre at any job in this game.
Blm has an absurd skill ceiling tho
But yeah play whatever you want
as long as you read the tooltips, follow the NPC advice
blm is very complicated compared to the other casters but not impossible
weskalber 1-90 guide will read the tooltip for you, and explain it how it used if you don't understand
blm is not complicated.
you could make the argument BLM will help you learn other classes better 
I heard you need alot of knowledge about the game to play blm
Then doing fights blind as black mage is just like literally any other job
not really
no no
blm is the most mobile caster.
nah you just press buttons on BLM
Weskalber beginner series is fantastic. If they have yet to made a Endwalker guide for a job, their older Shadowbringers guide are still decent to teach you the basics
the issue is moving but
no smn is
you will learn
no, blm is.
it's more like people don't stop their casting/greeding if it's their first time doing the instance
Learn your mobility tools and how to use them
blm has more movement tools than smn.
k
BLM can have the longest uninterrupted movement window
TLDR Fire fire fire ice ice ice
90% of smn is instant cast
smn has... a gap closer.
so if you see a bad stuff in the ground, avoid it, don't wait till you finish casting
thx ill play Blm
aetherial manipulation kinda nutty
you can hit 16 instant gcds in a row on blm.
since I think it looks cool
i think it's pedantic to argue which is more mobile because of the distinction between movement tools and free movement
so like whatever
Watch job action trailers, and pick what you think is cool
both are pretty mobile casters
I like megumin
every 60 seconds
that's all matters, 1. you think job is cool, 2. play it
^
ah yeah It's very similiar to Megumin
Changing job is very easy in XIV
smn can be in motion almost all the time
all about explosion
Even if you ended up not clicking with BLM
but once you cast your explosion, you will have 0 MP
Being in motion all the time doesn't matter
It is very easy to try something else with the same character
That's why dualcast isn't good mobility
RDM benefits from standing still
(with no stat penalty what so ever)
dualcast is more... just super slidecast
indeed it isn't but smn has more instant casts thus has overall more moblity
What matters in mobility is how many gcds you can move in a row without losing damage
Alice please listen to the experts
Both blm and smn can chain high amounts of instants together
i was literally told the exact oposite of what you people are saying in this exact channel last week
Black mage is on par with smn in mobility
the heck black mage are you playing lol
And aetherical manipulation helps
black mage is relegated to being stuck in their own ley lines for maximum damage
it doesnt compare to summoner movement
doesn't mean they aren't mobile as fuck
between triple cast, procs, etc
blm has a lot of mobility
whoever told you that was not entirely correct.
insert the Sfia clip of counting 16 gcds instants during p4s act 2
and can easily plan it
aetherial manipulation, between the lines,
black mage is mobile in that it has tools to move when it needs to
summoner is mobile because it has like no cast times lol
the distinction is important
Does Shroud Topsoil affect Thavnairian Onions?
no
With planning and alignment, BLM can set up a long uninterrupted movement window to handle specific mechanics without losing out on damage
the line is muddied a bit in BLM optimization where some tools like xeno are used in burst windows buuuut just plan it out if you're gonna be optimizing that hard anyway lmao
search most mobile caster in the search bar and you'll see countless results saying smn is the most ombile
no one is disagreeing with that statement
Which soil is most advantageous then?
not to mention aetherial manipulation can be used to move to other players. smn doesn't have that ability
i have no idea what you guys are talking about but i like big boom and i like wearing black clothing so ima play blm ig
blm being plenty mobile and basically on par with smn isn't saying that smn isn't the most mobile
yeah that's good enough goldbear
tbf a person earlier did directly disagree with sen's opinion but
What counts as mobility is how many gcds you can do in a row without having to cast
i think we're dwelling on it for too long
uhhhHHH i don't think there is one, the seed and crop yield are fixed so you can't get any boosts for that
Gotcha, ok thanks!
goldbear is committed so the question is answered 
i never said blm wasn't mobile i said it wasn't as mobile as smn
Let's just put a lid on this
its pretty on par with it
Alot of people who don't know what mobility is or mistake it is very high
They're both equally mobile
Burst mobility is what matters
This is basically discussion
BLM can go across the arena to teammates
SMN can just walk 24/7
Tldr
Wackadoodle both mobile
Burst mobility let's you do mechs without losing dps
it wouldn't be a wild statement to say that smn's mobility is much easier to utilize than blm's though, no?
Yes
and that's untrue. they're pretty equal.
ehh i guess given how manipulation works
Smn is easier to use due to flexibility of the summon order to an extent
like it's definitely less forgiving on BLM if you mess up but you just press wasd and cast on SMN
smn's everything is much easier than blm
Smn always got that mobility
Except ifrit and Garu cast
This is honestly edging into pedantic territory
quite
they're more mobile than rdm
true that
loser job
RDM isn't so bad nowadays depending on the mech timeline
it's hard to be less mobile than red mage tbh
doesn't rdm have to hard cast every other spell for 1.5s
2.5s yes
yes but it has acceleration, swiftcast and melee combo you can plan out
They also have very low burst mobility
less mobile than the other classes but managable
At best you.have your 3 magic finishers, 2 accels and swift
- 3 if you can stay in melee
they also have the benefit of slidecasting with their normal casts which is useful for certain mechanics, such as the 'aoe that pops up under feet' ones
mobility isn't really a problem with a coordinated group anyway
doesn't matter what class you're playing, your movements are all planned out anyway
mobility only matters when you're blind in a fight and trying to map out what you're doing
this tier as a whole is pretty generous uptime wise
or you can just adapt to mechanics you know about in uncoordinated play, like pugs
Using your mobility as best as possible is the main part in caster optimisation
honestly the immobility thing isn't bad at all if you just know how to play the class 
press the funny xeno button
almost all significant mobility issues with BLM can be solved with teleport, lol
or just have good positioning skills
"good positioning skills" is basically just "knowing the fight"
anyways i gotta finish off my dailies before bed
Why the heck am I glowing?
looks like sheath bug
Sge bugged out again
Or git gud
saying git gud is basically admitting you don't have good advice to share and just feel like beliting others
Or I'm shitposting
Someone has a Ishgard restoration macro list in german? :c
Use auto translate for the skills
But in actuality I'm just reiterating what ren said in a shitposty way
Works just the same
yeah use auto-translate, then change the wait to warte
Would I break something if I just turn my client to english while leveling up my crafters and switch back later on?
the previous macro that you wrote
No
My shitpost macros are all universal.
:5head:
am i supposed to just buy vendor gear for 50-60 in crafting? when am i supposed to start getting scrip gear for crafters
cause i saw crafting collectable mats and they're freakin expensive to get
There's a set of 58 scrip gear you can grab that's decent
and another set at 65? i think it is (but its just vendor gear, so its effectively free?)
main set you want to pick up is the 70 and then 80 scrip gear since those are universal sets, and will cover you until the next lvl cap
so 70 set can cover until 80, 80 cover until 90
before then, buy vendor gear when you feel like you need it
alrighty
oh and one last thing
are expansion collectables usually that expensive to craft
in idyllshire i saw it costs around 10k-ish to craft 1 collectable, which gives 50 scrips
if you're buying mats, it can be yea since certain items aren't gathered much anymore

if someone is out of healing range but the rest of the team are in healing range during a boss fight and they die is it my fault
yeah, just stay close to the tank if you can
don't risk going out your way just to heal someone that's standing in no man's land lol
that's what i do if the dps decides to fuck off elsewhere while everyone else is close to the boss i generally ignore them
now if only people would stay in range of my aoe for once
just make all ground aoes the size of earthy star
I had a gnb in one of the 90 expert dungeons who I felt like didn’t use many mits, didn’t use AL, and didn’t fucking Superbolide; they died in the pack before the last boss
Earlier today
what's al?
Arms length
owh, thought that's the same as mit 😹
oh wait that wasn't the dps it was a drk
It effectively is
yeah, how you seperate it from the mit made me think it's something else
Had full radiant too I think
the other tank was out of healing range for 90% of the mission
i was in melee range of everything whenever possible maybe they were afk
What was this content
world of darkness

Yeah that happen
I have no idea... when one my char was still in Balmung, there are plenty of people afk in Alliance Raid, intentionally rotating boss (mentor btw)
two bosses the mucle dude clone and cerberus had him out of range
like years in light, I never seen such thing 😹
Yeah cerberus just has everyone bum fuck everywhere
I assume he was going for the portals then
It just happens
for cerberus I just stand in the middle of his hitbox...
same
Also, AR’s only have 1 tank per alliance, so that was the one in yours?
then it wasn't the tank i guess
i rember the icon having a tringle section on it so i assumed it was drk
no wait i think it was a dragoon
red
dps then
yeah
then why was he out of my healing range
but cerberus fight has adds, sometimes they are far away from the boss
not sure, hehe
could be many factors
he died 4 times in that instance
maybe a newer player, cause lv 50 instance afterall
maybe
just be patient and res him lol
i did it just gets annoying when people make my job harder than nessesary
anyone has bought the starter version and then endwalker expansion on steam? Im hardstuck trying to figure out how to install endwalker expansion.
well that's the healer life
no matter what happen, your base role is "fixing other people's mistake"
!faq mogstation
i've got a massive headache so i'm way less tollerant than usual
enter the code on mogstation.
@brisk cypress
but I didnt get any code
how can I see it? I only play ps4 first time using steam
key starter showed me keys every time I loged in
Right click game > steam keys
i get chronic headaches and i get really bitchy when i have them
i get them almost every day
omg thank you just noticed
and they last 1-3 hours
People being out of range happens often in 24mans due to the large arena sizes
It just happens
but yeah i your right i should take a break i was gunna log in like 10 minutes anyways
it's late i'm tired and have a headache i should just go to bed
And take a glance at the party list every couple seconds
yeah, good idea
i target the boss and focus target the main tank and glance up at the party list every couple seconds
anyways good night

yaaa the demon of the tome
So I'm stuck. And I need help cause I don't understand why. I'm doing the lv80 DPS job quest and I get to a point where it stuns me and puts a stack marker on me and the npc just dies.
Do it before
which dps job quest.
name of the quest? ._. I already forgot
because there's two, ranged and melee
Stack shows up after stun and no warning.
Not for 80
There’s not in Shb
Everything happens at the same time everytime
I am in ShB.
It's predictable since its a scripted fight
there's a caster one.
Also if all else fails, crank that difficulty down
That’s not ranged
It happened on very easy twice.
And It's not that I'm bad. I mean I am bad. But not this level of terrible.
The mech that has no warning.
very easy or not, ignoring mech isn't a bad idea in a long run
How do I ignore a telegraph that doesn't exist?
There’s obviously something you’re not noticing
I watched the clip over again and no tell. I'll even link it. I'm on the quest...(sorry. Trimming a clip on PS4 suspends the application which logs you out I gotta log in again)
drop the name
Courage Born of Fear
are you doing the caster or melee/ranged
is that the coeurlgina one? let me see 👀
Had to log in to see the name. As I said.
It’s the Physical one
I am SAM.

No he dies. Watch the clip.
It's processing
Probs.
Npcs only die in solo instances If you hit them with too many mechanics before hand, as they're scripted to heal at points
I didn’t see many stacks in the vid I watch, and they were clearly Telegraphed
There's nothing for them to get hit by.
Just wait for the clip to process.
Again, he heals. You're making him get hit too much.
I'm doing exactly as it says. He explicitly states to kill the pally.
you also need to stack with him when he gets the marker, too.

Clip has processed. I watched it like 4 times.
my guy is clicking with nin
There's no tell.
mayhaps try taking aggro
yeah you can't draw aggro on the archer I reckon
he does have aggro on andreia in the vid i linked, so that shouldn't be an issue
tbh your video, you've been doing well
even filter the chat log into strictly what NPC is saying
No. The guy explicitly states to focus on the pally.
but yeah, try to stay further away from the NPC
he will run to you when stack marker appears
you don't have to worry about that
But he's dying to boss autos which he shouldn't be
Idk what to tell you. I'm doing everything exactly the way the game tells me.
Anyone know a good retainer venture to do for fat cat farming? Like one that has good drops beside the fat cat?
Because the 50 ones are all bringing me back vendor price fish
Dwarven.
With some forgiven gear.
Oh and lv74 gloves. But that shouldn't effect NPC dying.
if you're not killing it fast enough, it would
Death is the best mitigation
Watch the clip.
yes, before that part
lure the tank away from him
because the knight is like... one hit away from death, and after you kill the knight andreia switches aggro to you
No. I clearly have no debuff or anything. And you can see all the hps. And no. I avoid damage puddles.
he might switch to aoe if you get too close to your ally
if i want to get into raiding, The Second Coil of Bahamut (Savage) should be my first raid?
current extreme should be your first raid
coils is already savage
before moving into savage
i did all the arr extremes
second coil has savage
Okay I'll try pulling tank away from him next attempt.
yes
just saying that there's a difference between the two but the difficulty is still pretty much savage
extreme is not comparable to savage
it is not, but its a good way to start
which is what they're asking about
i tried looking for heavansward extreme but cant find a party
It's the step below and it shows the type of things to expect in higher difficulty content
dont use duty finder
there's no reason to do old extremes, besides unsync for glam and mounts.
Like removal of telegraphs, new mechs, combining mechs
except for MINE for the sake of doing them
So no real reason got it
so what should i do after finishing extremes
you should probably be asking this question when you're in the current, most latest expansion unless you have a group of people to have fun with old content already
Did Thordan EX synced. So much fun.
Hi a friend bought the heavenward expansion and it skipped him to level 60 MSQs and he only level 35, what’s the best way for him to level up?
You mean heavensward skip

!faq altlvlguide
Oh yikes
I guess so, he wanted the dlcs but didn’t read the fine print
The classic "expansion on mogstore"
He didn't buy any expansions
Reading is a fine skill you'll learn playing ff14
He just got a story skip
yeah, you don't need to buy HW
The base game comes with heavensward
its included in the base game
Where in Limsa do I get bait? Google said fieldcraft supplier but all he has are fishing rods
why do so many people queue for alliance raid roulette? just curious since it doesn't give that much poetic for it's duration
Exp from the bonus
It's one of the highest xp roulette
It's up there with levelling and msq in terms of xp given
Not the tools section, items
Ohh okee thank you!!
Ah thank you!
Oddly enough. Not what happened. Wasn't using AOEs regardless but for some reason we didn't die when pulling him away despite being hit by both the stack marker and the ranged users AOE. Idf understand lol
He just like took less damage even though he was hit with more attacks.
heyo
could anyone help me with a quest
before i waste my mogpon coffer: does it have a dancer weapon?
no
what happens if i open it on dnc?
You're errored
If it’s starting gear is above [insert item level], the job absolutely can’t open ARR coffers
doesnt sam start above the primal item lvl and still got items for them
Yes They added some trial weapons, but those are the exception not the rule
If you notice on lodestone, it’s just glam weapons that are below i115
they add weapons for the next expansion jobs, sometimes
like there aren't any shb scythes or nouliths from trials
yet :)
do the EW role quests end at 89?
so its 85/86/87/88/89/90?
yeah
Is there a crafting queue of some sort so I don't have to keep hitting "synthesize" on the same item over and over?
No
Hecc
I mean quick synth is a thing, but it’s pretty bad
Oof
quick synth is useful if you a. don't care about exp, b. don't care about hq
so if you're mass producing something like ingots, lumber etc its good for that

is the bonus light thing for zodiac/anima always two hour periods, ie 2 hour bonus, 2 hour no bonus, 2 hour bonus?
the window for it is 2 hrs yes, but which instances are in bonus are rotated then
Can i run Palace while i wait for a raid
so lets say its bonus time right now; if i try to do so again the same time tomorrow, it isn't guaranteed to be bonus?
Damn
they are both duty, one at a time only
Do fate, hunting log/marks while waiting
correct
Or craft for your gc
so, doing the stuff to change chocobo color, do i need to be on my home world for the timer to tick down?
fairly certain no, since its based on IRL hours
alright cool
Does NIN have a 2min party-buff window?
Trick Attack is every minute I think
Sorry for the repeat question but it wasn't clear from what I could find, if I was to buy the job tales of adventure, it would put me at lvl 80 and give me gear appropriate for that level, but it wouldn't touch any quests right? I want to do the questlines for the jobs and msq, I just don't want to deal with leveling in dungeons / potd etc, its completely unbearable for me atm to do 50+ lvls of it. ATM I've just started stormblood on my red mage at 61 fwiw.
