PvP exclusively uses wolf marks/collars
I orginally did whm butttt astro was more my thing, in the way that, i dont like gridiana that much lol
Thing is, the astrodyne i dont understand? i know from wesk, 2 sigils is fine
These will still be available post 6.1?
yep
Why wouldn’t they be? PvP isn’t disappearing
So I can still get that redmage weapon
yes
Great!
ah...
That’s 6.1 tho
they said 6.1 on the patch site
sure but it may be staggered a bit
If it was 6.1x, they’d mention it
not 6.xx like for the other named stuff
can i use /micon to make a macro symbol a fish or does it not work with all items?
what catagory would that be
#archived-lore-spoilers is talking bout it
yes
The item has to be in your inventory to be an icon
also make sure you specify its category, i think it was 'item'
is graphic update coming with 6.1?
No, it’s 7.0
no but toto-rak is going to look flyyyyyy now
does using mods get people banned?
if you're using it to gain advantage over others or harass others, yes
If you tell people you are in game
forgot the hq symbol, tyvm
na its gonna be probably reshades/ graphical mods
those are okay right
Still don’t tell people in game
act
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
oke
Refer back to
yup
What Materia should I meld for WAR ?
!faq thebalance
has all the answers
as a house owner, can I chime in a medium house lottery in Ishgard in 6.1?
Yes, you can enter the lottery for relocation
Ahem
i shud get rid off all the openers/rotations i have saved prior to 6.0?
They have all changed completely? or has some jobs remained somewhat same?
All changed
i c
Even if they are somewhat same
and will likely change in 10 days again
oof
even MCH with its 1 new button changed a decent bit
don't rely too much on 'openers'
do what seems right and you'll be correct 95% of the times
y not
Example
hmm
Warrior inner release is now 60s, which doesn't matter in the context of opener
But Endwalker inner release is 3 stacks
Where can i read the 6.1 class changes?
depends on your chosen BLM set
Not 10s
and warrior gap closer doesn't require any resource right
on the lodestone, in 10 days
can I use trusts to complete a dungeon after I already completed it, or are trusts available only the first time you unlock the dungeon via msq
Won't be out until the 11th
#translations-and-liveletters but they aren't complete changes, just a very rough overview of a few things
Scenario trusts are available to replay it
tyty
Avatar trusts is a separate thing you level up
To be more specific, live letter has a quick Rough overview of the big changes for a few selected jobs
All jobs will receive some adjustments
Thanks
Wdym?
...no?
spell speed BLM uses sykon cookie, crit BLM uses chai
Even your upheaval cost nothing now
the balance still exists, use it
I see. Thanks!
Fell Cleave and decimate (and variants) are your only gauge spenders now
Upward punch
i think the devs did too
It has better damage / gauge ratio
ya
!action upheavel
Doesn't cost gauge in Endwalker
all jobs are fine for everything
drk?
.
Less bulky, but more deadly
hmm
Can leve kit help me level from a 80 crafter to 90?
play what you love, not what is 0.254% better
The dev team can do the hard work in balancing them
I personally don't mind HW/SB dark arts, it looks badass as heck to me
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
i mained drg back then how is drg rn
.
also can veiras wear drg headgear
Pretty much the same as ShB DRG
The answer will be the same regardless of the class
i c
Do take note that you no longer has blue gauge
o wait
wait no more maintaining blu gauge?
Yeah
thank fucking god
Now it just seems natural to just make it a trait and let people juggle other stuffs
ya

So if you didn't do it right a few steps ahead
You have shorter red gauge
Getting max red, regardless what's left with your blue, is introduced in Shadowbringers
Sigh...
:(
TwT
Imo, when you get the dragon eyes from mirage dive, you should get those blue aura back
It still somewhat make sense. Since you needed those to go red
But that just my personal opinion
mirage dive is the 2 stack jumps?
Yeah
that one that gives eyes
i realize that there's some sort of difference with skin color from the face to my body's skin color, is there any way to make this less obvious
o oke
Should i bother with the golden saucer as a F2P right now? Im still doing the MSQ
feel free to mess around there, its just side content that keeps you busy if you feel like doing it
if you want to

Tbh I think you are fine if you just hop in at least once a day to buy 3 cactpot and at least once a week to buy 3 jumbo cactpot
does anyone know what I should do, I have restarted many times?
Can you turn the fancy 90 tomes into Poetics?
No, not even worth it
Just get maps if u want gil, u can turn that into whatev u want later like Gear
yes, that's the only limited edition stuff that's from current moggle event
for controller its /chotbar copy whm 2 blm 2
change /chotbar to /hotbar for pc
proper syntax like /hotbar copy from(%job [bar]) to (%otherjob [otherbar])
But they're just going to go to waste until I hit Endwalker otherwise.
they get handed out like candy
its not a big deal if poetics get thrown to the wind
er
aphorism
Question.... I met a player late lastnight... or this morning. In my home world... I added them as a friend. I just logged in and checked my friend's list, and they're located in a different world now... They did mention that they were from a different server though while we were talking, but I thought nothing of it. I remember when I was new to the game, there was mention of it or maybe it was a youtube, where you could play in other worlds, without transfer...? Right?
!worldvisit
tyty for the syntax
Or did this person really swap back to their old server?
so i guess that's a no? ffxiv reddit isn't doing anything for /r/place
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
ty
ohhh
thank you
!
I couldn't find it googling
it kept bringing up the $18 transfer thing
is this somewhere i can ask questions about crafting?
yes
coolio, right i want to be able to make grade 6 tinctures but my gear seems to be just under with everything melded, i still have leftover materia to pentameld but have no clue how to do that or even if my own gear is pentameldable
gear that cannot be overmelded have a clear notice on them that says unavailable
also gear with no slots cannot be overmelded
also gear with 5 slots also cannot be overmelded
is this overmeldable?
The simplest is to look at the tooltip, it will say "Advanced melding forbidden" if you can't overmeld
all gear has stat caps
most have two stats invested
one partial and one full
for crafting and gathering stats though, all the stats are partial
when you overmeld you can see the caps in game
yea, i think i found how to do it also just realised how expensive this is going to be 
17% chance to fail
thats actually pretty good
It gets lower

Ah no no, 17% to succeed
ik what you meant at least
I wish it was only 17% chance to fail instead of succeed
also thats attempting to meld without a slot (overmelding)
melding into a slot is always 100%
which is why gear with 5 slots can be considered perfect stat sticks
i regrettably skipped the bard story quests. Is there anyway i can replay it?
new game plus
idk if new game+ covers job quests yet
it does
oh thats cool
imma do that later with drk
kk ty
hey so i read a guide that said to use life surge on heavens thrust or the fifth combo action (fang & claw or wheeling thrust)
but I dont see why i couldnt just wait until the next heavens thrust to life surge? am i missing something
oh wait nvm read the 64 trait closer
..actually no thats still an 80 potency difference even with that (480 potency vs 400 if positional)
Any way to make a macro assign the aether compass/wondrous tails book to a slot in a hotbar? Tried doing something like
/hotbar item "Aether Compass" 7 6
but no dice as they're both not technically "items"
just trying to make a hotbar that toggles into multiple different things according to what macro button i press, just for a fun thing to mess with hehe
why does my launcher keep saying that when I login?
well yeah, but im asking why buffing those two are better and why you shouldnt just wait to buff heaven's thrust, because i understood that as Buffed HT> Buffed WT/F&C > Unbuffed HT
unless its misaligns with windows
Within the opner or buff windows, you won't have enough heavens thurst to use lance charge on it twice
ahhh, i see thanks
Otherwise outside buff windows, you can use charges on either to prevent overcapping charges
Ideally HT ofc
I'm not a drg main so I only know this much
Hello, the question is probably too simple for you: where can I store my fashion items?
like the earring from the Event Tomestones
You can put event stuff in armoire
I think certain even exclusive items can go into the armoir
But there is so little space
retainers :D
and chocobo saddlebag
armoire has no limits as it's meant for event stuff only
OK, there's really a lot of space
And mind you glamour dresser is not the same as the armoire
Dresser needs prisms and has a limit of 400
Armoire has not limit BUT is only for event items
well i dont think the 400 space in the dresser room is all that small either
Inside any inn room there is a chest of drawers with a big mirror on it. That's the dresser, right next to it is the armoire
Next question: where is the inn? 😂
There's also one in the barrack
Any big city, limsa, uldah, gridania etc.
Limsa is on the second floor, the drowning wench.
Uldah is the adventurers guild
Gridania at the very start of the area where the airships come
Look for the npc with the title "innkeeper"
talk to them and pick "Retire to room"
And if you log off in an inn room via bed you will start accumulating an EXP boost
I'm in uldah right now, I'll walk there

How can I reach Square Enix support quickly aside from given channels through their official websites?
Do they have Twitter account for support inquiries?
... How can I reach the multimedia company for support aside from specifically given support channels?
You don't
can anyone do the date thing on discord for 6.1
to know my local date when 6.1 is coming
If I reinstall the game, will I lose all of my settings?
do these 2
back up tools
Yeah.. I wanna reinstall because I can't login
Is there a way to maybe reinstall the launcher only?
that's pretty radical move..
im always a day ahead of the date so thats why i need it
Believe me I tried everything
!faq quicklauncher
Did u try this one
Nope
Worth a shot
what's everything? hehe
But I'm not too much up for giving my login info for a 3rd party launcher, is it something verified?
I have no idea, I'm not using it
Never heard anyone have bad experiences with it
https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/2ewp1d/unable_to_complete_version_check_30410_30607/ tried this? 🤔
0 votes and 8 comments so far on Reddit
Yep
Doesnt work either :/
I did have issues with my ethernet cable so I replaced it, I thought maybe it corrupted some files but idk
I forgot to check that god damn
it just does that
And there's no box to check
Could you check please what files you have in here?
I have just this 3, my friend has wayyy more files there
Im currently not at my pc sorry :/
Ah rip, np
yeah I have a lot more files there
Could that be the problem?
like checking a folder size like usual...
Mine is 62 giga
Does anyone know if you can still move to materia data center for free, or does it now cost money?
how do I check if an item is dyable?
I think so
theres a tiny ass dot on the top right corner of an items icon
if its greyed out, its undyable
very intuitive, i know
ty
awesome, thanks!
if it's new, It's free
!status bismarck
!faq dyeicons
just type /dote when you target a boss
do high quality items matter for fashion report?
no they dont iirc
Is Sephirot a new server?
Sephirot is OCE, so yeah new
wait if it's based on Sephiroth then why didn't they just use the full name?
Umm now it lets me login and wants to isntall 78 gigas, what the..
It's the tree Sephirot
Hi, how do i alt tab targets in game? Is there a specific hotkey for party members vs enemies?
Tab targeting will only select enemies
party members have to be manually clicked
I prefer to click the party list, but you can be a madlad and click their model
That is not the only option for scrolling through them.
oh right
And yes, you can scroll through them.
what's UI element for MP bar? i can't find it
Function buttons(?)
Parameter bar
oh so i have to show the Hp one as well if i want the other
Function keys can be mapped to party members. On PC, you can also map the mouse scroll wheel to cycle through enemies or allies, and on console you use the D-pad.
Ill set that up later then
The MP bar is static across all classes. Some melee use MP as well. It's fine.
I have been kind of a madlad, clicking party list and enemies i try to click the models
i like my hud clean and i look at party list to see Hp anyway
so i wouldn't need an other Hp bar
Yes ffxiv has a lot of icons 😨
Not compared to other MMOs, not really. =)
I dunno it feels pretty cluttered to me
Which job'
Arcanist for example
class is just bad in general
Really? I find whm simpler
At low levels it's about the same throughout
well with WHM
There's only a few buttons you actively need to pay attention to
or something
While a damage job like SMN has to use all their kit to squeeze out as much damage as they can
that is the entire healer role, not just whm
Tbh im conflicted which job to main, magic dps deals significant damage and healer feels more relaxed in terms of combat
I need to catch up arcanist with msq
also if you're ACN
You get to pick up both SCH and SMN, a healer and a dps respectively
They share levels
I dont remember who told me but i think you can play both sch and smn?
their level is arcanist level, so you can switch and still earn exp for both
Also, conjurer doesnt have two jobs?
nope
only arcanist
Only acn?
no other
Ok
acn was a mistake on the devs end as an experiment
which is why everything post arr is just the job, no classes
Seems like the start of something complex
its a coding nightmare from what ive heard
Im not sure what you mean here…what will happen to sch and smn after arr?
well back in arr you had to purchase an expeinsive item to re-allocate your stats if you wanted to swap between smn and sch
classes as a whole were pretty miuch just too much effort for no gain
so after ARR theres no classes anymore
just jobs
Ah ok that is past yes

is 6.1 going to have new crafting recipes, or do we know?
not for the combat stuff, but prolly some new crafting gear and the like
ah was hoping for some new food or the like
oh well, thanks
New furniture
whats a good way to earn Aetheric Density
nobody does eye of creator savage and im too low to do it solo, im 73 with drk
unsync level 50 dungeon (the hard mode)
as an inexperienced ff14 tank, are trials harder than dungeons? or easier since there are fewer trash mobs to wipe you with wacky mechanics?
any help ? can't download
Trials are harder
In that it's just a fight
Your party v one big bosd
@fierce karma if its not coils, extreme or savage its casual content
So don't worry
this is the best message i've ever read
Y?
does using patience increases the chance of getting !!! fish? assuming mooch is not required
nope
big fish, AKA the green/blue-rarity ones, have capped catch rates
Even with level 90 gear you can still sometimes fail a catch on some level 50 big fish
patience is only useful for mooching right?
It gets you more experience too, assuming the fish is large-sized
and it builds up stacks to use on other skills
And collectability. Size = collectability. And patience increases your odds of large fish
Is Gae Bolg dyeable?
dyeing existed in 2.0
glamour was a patch
If I reinstalled without doing a backup are all of my settings lost forever? Or SE has a way to recover them? I couldn't backup cuz I couldn't launch the game
Unless you backed them up to the cloud manually you're sol
All that shit is saved client side
To save on server space
Maybe the files are still on your pc after the uninstall
But that goes outside my realm of knowledge
Is healer any good for pvp?
Also now I get "a system error has occured" and the launcher doesnt work at all
Not much point answering this, all jobs are getting completely reworked for pvp in a week and a half
Oh okay
healers are very valuable in PVP, but yeah it's hard to give concise answers with the upcoming overhaul to it
I mean it's good, but how it'll be then is unknown and kinda makes it irrelevant
Oh I wasn’t really planningg on playing pvp that much
Its just I want 2 items from there lol
a hairstyle and a coat
Returning garo collab has mounts and glam and pvp will be hopping come 6.1
So if you want to wait til then it'll be a lot easier to find groups for the currency
fashion report question : I only need t o get 100 points once for the achievement, then I could go for 80 points if I only want max MGP ?
Yup
wdym?
sorry Im still pretty new
Oohhh
Big pvp stuff happening so it'll be popular
Is it possible to uninstall the launcher without uninstalling the game?

why does it say patience is highly recommended if it does not involve mooching?
it shouldn't matter right?
but this fish doesn't need mooching from any other fish? I'm confused
question: when I drag and drop a piece of gear onto my hotbar, what does the resulting icon do?
pressing it doesn't equip that gear
struggling to figure out what it's for
Nothing
It's for tracking shit in your inventory
tracking? how?
It's on your hud, says you have one of it
games console wiki loads so much faster than gamer escape though 🥲
jeez, so there's no way to have a button that says "equip X boots"?
Cool answer, still a shit source of information
Why not have a gear set with the boots?
Those can go on hotbars
these are the ixial beast tribe gloves, which I don't want on my crafting gearsets by default
Just equip them every time, it's only once a day and this type of arr jank won't return
and I'd rather not go to the trouble of creating and maintaining duplicate gearsets just for the gloves
that's a shame
i thought it would have worked
thanks anyway
Alright I restarted my pc and it was somehow fixed. Also seems like all of my system settings were reset, but my character stuff are saved
I accidentally subbed for 6 months without entering my friend's recruitment code
Can I enter it when my 6 months sub ended?
Oh God
I read from this Steam forum it can be amended
https://steamcommunity.com/app/39210/discussions/0/1606022547925907045/
Showed this Steam forum link to the SE support email and still no reply
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Sir this is a subreddit discord
You can ask support we don't know what they can do
Yea.. I was just scouring around ya know
is it worth getting best in slot right now for my fresh LVL 90 job? I am still using lvl 80 gear
ok wb lvl 90 gear? classical?
Classical is the best shit you can buy at 90 for now, so if you want it...
alright then
But it's basically not doing anything for you til you finish endwalker
i already finished endwalker
so is it still my best option right now? or should I wait till 6.1?
Don't they just give you a set of 89 for free?
😓
6.1 won't have any new BiS gears
whoops almost forgot about that
6.1 offers some catch up gears
Bis only changes when new raids come out
BiS @warped nest ?
Best in slot
ohhhhhhhhh

In the context of BiS gearing, 6.1 is for catching up
dude I'm tired and you're only around at 5 in the morning just to do that face
I'm in Europe, if its 5am for you sleep
bold of you to assume I have a say in that lmfao
anyways
so they have catch up gear in 6.1 you say?
Ye, casuals will also be able to augment weekly tome gear too
what's weekly tome gear?
If you look at currency
The i590 gears you buy with the weekly capped tomestone
ohhh ok
Those can be augmented to i600 (the current max ilvl) right now via savage raid items
did they go into more details on how PvP will change in the live letter? aside of showing of the new PvP mode and GARO
Those items can be acquired (weekly limitations applied) in 6.1 via alliance raid
Not much, Johnathan
wait the i600 can be acquired during the new alliance raid?
okay, saw some image of what i assumed was a feast armor set but feast is getting removed so was curios on what that was about
Doing it will let you upgrade specific 590 to 600 though
You can get items from alliance raid, once per week, to upgrade your i590 tomestone gears to i600
nope, thats just battlepass armorset
any info on how the battle pass will work? is it like every other one where its something you pay for?
Another catch up 6.1 offers is a new extreme trial
Which will drop item level 595 weapon
Which is a decent alternative, especially if you have multiple lvl 90 jobs
I wonder what the trophy will look like
thanks for the help!
What are the max contribution rewards for A / S rank Hunts? Just wanna know if I'm getting the most
40 hunt currency for A-ranks, 100 for S-ranks
tysm 🙂
I remember that tank is good to get the rank, so it depends on enmity or damage?
Yeah all enmity, I'd blow my full raid rotation go sweaty and still get lowest rewards... took me a few hours that the Hunts aren't really grindy, just I was doing it very wronggg
I feel so silly
Get a party and make sure your party have 2 tanks with stance on. Works everytime
Just blow your burst right after tomahawk cause sometimes the hunt target died so fast
Yeah being in a party helps immensely
Healers spamming their aoe heal is a good enmity generator too if needed
While each point of healing is only 0.5 enmity or so, healing 8 people at once makes it climb fast
out of curiosity i checked some sightseeing locations on the wiki
it says it requires a specific daytime (at least for ARR ones) i assume that eorzea time and not earth time, right?
Dumb player wonder
Since when did they add "Other players audio" as an option?
The Players effect volume
Yes, Eorzia time. Also most of them require a certain weather type so they can be pretty laborious.

Stupid question but I’ve been getting random disconnects recently
I haven’t written down the error code but I know it’s five digits and starts with a 9
Never changing as well
Is there anything I can do to prevent it? There’s no pattern; I just lose all incoming packets and lose connection
90001s/90002s are general internet connection errors, and can be anything from a connection issue on SE's end, a connection issue on your end, or a connection issue anywhere in the physical cabling between you and SE, which neither you nor SE controls
Is there anything I can do to fix it? FFXIV is the only game on any of my consoles/laptop that has this issue
Hard to say due to the sheer variety of potential reasons. You could try some of the ones listed here, though. Or failing that, maybe some of the people down in #952326072542847016 could help. https://appuals.com/error-90002-in-final-fantasy-xiv/
Thank you kindly
Does anybody know if there is a timer on submitted FC applications? Or do they stay until they are accepted or denied?
Afaik there’s no timer
Just 3 signatures+ you, whenever you can gather it
I don't mean to form an FC, I mean like, if an FC is openly recruiting and you submit an application to join ^^
Oh
what do you all use as a wiki
Gamerescape is usually the most up to date and accurate
I use Garland Tools for most of my stuff
Though it’s more of a database-type site rather than a wiki
thx
Leves
I have no more leve allowances :(
Collectibles then
The ones at ildyshire?
Stadium quests and custom deliveries too
The lvl 80 ones
All the scrip npcs are the same for each area

wait, can healers not direct hit with their damaging abilities? i know heals cannot direct hit but i assumed damage could but now my plugin shows that my scholar has 0% direct hit chance. is it a plugin bug or is it true
just spent 2 minutes broiling the dummy, no direct hits :O
welcome to rng
@cursive ridge you have no direct crit unless you meld it in
That's a dps stat
And afaik with 0 additional dh, that's also your dh rate
you do have 400 rate by default but that seems to convert to 0.0%
is the lodestone login different from the square enix account? I just reset my password, but still can't login lodestone
no (except free trial can NOT login), so are you sure you change the square password?
yes, I can login here https://secure.square-enix.com/account/app/svc/reminder?
but I can't login to the lodestone
or try a different browser, incognito, a lot of people find that work
at least mog still work

Just a quick Q.
For the ShB relic...
Do i have to do anything in Bozja?
(so far i'm done with the 3rd stage and have no quest to continue)
you'll need to beat two raids of bozja, castrum lacus latori and delibrium reginae
both of which require rank 10, and completion of the storyline up to that point
urgh
considering some of the other steps you'll need to do, learning bozja and its systems is a massive help forfarming them
nope
after dr you can do all the steps outside bsf
can do the raids and lvl 70 dungeons for the last two steps
do you log into mog with the registered email then doing the same thing with lodestone? cus I can not log into lodestone with email, it requires the ID that located in the top right of mog
To finish it you have to finish the entire story
^Your ID
what foods can i make for crafting buffs at lvl 53 cul?
so I'm a flame captain in the immortal flames, how do I rank up?
Captain is the highest obtainable.
oh what fr??
by any chance can i turn in collectables from main jobs and use it to get xp for alt crafters?

or does it have to be the collectables from that job
There is no way to obtain them in-game.
👍
collectibles are job specific, so even a DoW turn in a fisher ones, only the FSH gain exp

Is there a way to upgrade item level of the armour parts? Or weapon?
No
You get a better weapon/armour
There's ways to augment some gear but that's still technically a different piece of gear
The only type of gear that gets upgrades are relic weapons, via a lengthy questline, and tome gear
though old tome gear comes pre-upgraded these days
And that's technically just trading in for a better one
only relevant for current endgame stuff
how do you get the warrior of light armor?
Does FC crafter xp buff and the 20% scroll xp stack?
Pretty sure the fc buff you're talking about says it's specifically for combat
Isn't there a buff for synthesis?
by scroll you mean the engineering/survival manuals from scrips/gc yes?
and not the squadron one
I mean the squadron one
Yup
then no, those don't stack as they are effectively the same thing
should i always use assize as soon as it's off cd or should i hold it if the team is going to take a lot of damage in the next few seconds
fc 3 buff = squadron buff
you can hold it if you know there's dmg coming out within the next few seconds
but ideally use it on cd, as the dmg/mp is more important for the most part than the healing
i usually hold it if i see a boss cast bar go up that i either don't know what the ability will do or i know will put everyone into low hp
you really dont want to be holding onto assize too long, that it makes you end up missing out on a cast
if you manage to utilize it for healing, cool but like ultimately still better to use on cd
Hey, guys. I'm about to start playing FFXIV. Any tips or suggestions? Thanks in advance!
One-two gcds at most

-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Shit at 2 is more important than 1
by the time i notice that cast but it usually only has 2 seconds left
EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
!faq newplayertips
ive noticed that when youre in eureka you can switch to other classes that arent level 70 how does that work exactly?
Pretty sure you can't, but I can't check
Dayum. Everything is well documented. 😮
i'll try to get in the habit of using it off cd
Why do people not like Sam's guaranteed crit change?
Because they can't see past the "now crit raid buffs are useless" blinder.
cause it loses syngery with crit buffs
aka DRG, sch and dnc
so parse runs wont like them as much since Sam will now contribute less to them
sans DNC because that also buffs DH chance, which is not guaranteed
should i use misery as soon as it's up?
So people would prefer rng crit over guaranteed crit?
Also in typical "I don't like change" fashion people whine when they see change
^
the trick thing is a stupid change tbh
Depends. On single target you can hold for movement or use when you'll overcap. But on aoe it's worth it
it is but we'll get used to it in like a week
Not necessarily the point the people disliking it are making
It's a neutral change to Ninja, but this is not the channel to discuss opinions on changes lol
they'd prefer to benefit from crit buffs handed out by others would be more accurate
Like, rn you could have litany and chain up, the same could doublenmidare and get no crit. Thats shit
but eh, personally I think the change is fine
basically means now that sam has very low priority for things like dance partner
Not critting is an issue every job faces. The people upset at that will be equally upset when their crits all low roll the damage
yep
Partner priority won't change drastically since samurai still outputs a fantastic amount of damage and standard/tech step will still be very useful to it
Was just about to make that point.
Arent sam and blm already not invited to parseruns anyway?
And also Devilment increases both Crit AND Direct Hit chance
I don't see why you wouldn't bring them
and the change to Midare/Ogi is simply a guaranteed crit, and not a guaranteed dcrit
they do offer sizable contributions
But now because sam crit too much, they dont get invited?
Nah, it'll just be shortsighted people.
No that's an incorrect assertion as well asu
The same people who don't invited Sam after these changes implement are going to be the same people who excluded Paladin from parse runs.
aka
Critting more is more damage and there are plenty of percent damage increase buffs and now have scaled value because of the critting
The bottom line is that people are doomposting while having an incomplete picture of what these changes will actually mean in practice
Correct.
Let the change happen, see how things go
Giving an ASTRO card during Sam burst is even more valuable now
Also the Sam and Nin doomposting sounds almost identical to the Drk doomposting that happened just before expac drop
so it seems to me like it's the exact same group of people
Or the sch doomposting
doomposters have no life and need to get a grip on reality
and they only seem like everyone because they are the only people going on about it
whereas the rest of us know enough not to run our mouths unnecessarily
Just wondering cuz i seem to recall sam crit rng was like one of its biggest complain and now its fixed and then the new doomposting is "waa litany/devilment/chain is useless nowncuz we have sam"
Again crit rng is an everyone problem
They wanted to be unhappy
being unhappy and complaining is familiar and comfortable for them
they also loooove to ignore this:
Wait how come mnk didnt get shit for guaranteed bootshine crit? Ir drg with life surge vrit? Smh
Ik lol
all that was shown was "some" of the changes
anyone got some tips for inventory management
Does it spark joy
i'm constantly running out of space
throw away/vendor anything which has a "Shop selling price" because you can buy them back from a vendor for that price easily
why did i have to inherit my dad's hoarder tendancies
So, how's the community in this MMO? I've tried other games of the genre in the past, but I needed to try something different this time, and I've heard the community (and the population) is fine in FFXIV. I hope I don't put salt in a wound -so to speak-, asking these qestions. >_<
paper dps is how we manage to calculate theoretical limits and BiS sets so don't make this assertion incorrectly.
Most communities will say that they're great, but we do have a good reputation
as someone with quite a bit of experience playing mmos i'd say it's better than most
definitely one of the better communities ive been a part of
never played wow but i can say without a doubt it's better than runescape
There's some fundamentals with this game that keep it getting too toxic
especially back in 07/08
Jobs are balanced, using dps meters to shame will get you banned, new players are flagged so you know what to expect, and they're adding more options for solo play for people that are scared of judgement people etc
you'd get shouted down for being a noob if you so much as wanted to buy low level armor
Not gonna claim there's no toxicity for I am not an omnipotent god
every communit'y's got it's bad eggs especially large ones
Well that's just statistics
i've met a couple assholes but for the most part people are at the very least decent
Yeah, I guess the element of competitiveness (in WoW) gets things on edge often enough.
i even got two people to help me with fates for arr relics
Eureka, the unironically grindy old school mmo zone, is one of the most wholesome zones in the game
is their a tier list of gear? a progression of sort...currently lvl 50, not sure where to go from here
did you finish the 2.0 msq already?
not yet
finish it and buy poetics
do that then, buy the ironworks gear with poetics after
there is this however
then use poetics again at 60
!faq gearguide
repeat
which is largely irrelevant because you skip most of it by just spending poetics
and the msq keeps you geared regardless
oh this. thank you
huh, neat pic
I made it cause people kept asking
where do i find waymarker macros for savage?
Did I permanently ruin my character?? 😟
I am taking my job stone at level 34....
I should've gotten it at 30
there's no way to permanently ruin your character
What’s the process of getting Garo armor this time around when it comes back?
do pvp
But I should have been leveling into the job stone and it gets better stats
And I've leveled into the base class
yes, and now you have the job stone
Now I have it!
Same as back then or did something change?
Job stone doesn’t affect stats
its not the end of the world you got your job 4 levels late
would be annoying to others if you were like 50+ without it, but you didnt fuck up your character
according to the wiki i can get unidentified items for my relics from maps is it random or do i trade them in
do pvp stuff
Mmmk
is there like a guide to map soloutions or something because this has got to be the worst map i have ever seen
i don't remember much about the quest
shoulda sold the map tbh
At the absolute worst youve been playing without some skills for 4 levels
Not on heavenswhere, because like most people, they only care about portal maps
well there goes nearlt 50k cause thats how much i coulda sold it for
Also it’s just easier to buy the items
yeah i know but i thought since i got a map during my job qyest i might as well use it
and it's only from tomestones
or gordias
Beast tribe currency
which takes days just to get 1 part
Welcome to relic grinds
my point is i thought i'd get a free part and i didn't because i was given a map with no landmarks
i mean this could be literally anywhere
There are indicators on what you were given to give you an idea of where it is
Yeah, It’s literally a cut out section of the zone map.
Just gotta cross reference shit
scroll up to see the screenshot of it and you'll see what i mean
i don't even know how far to zoom in
It’s southwest of the convictory
3 seconds
Oh, that one definitely took me a while, but yeah - right next to the convictory.
hey i failked geography
Coerthas west is probably the worst territory for maps
zone is chunky but there’s not a whole lot of obvious diversity in the terrain except for a couple sheer cliffs
Can Stormblood EX trials be solo'd at 90?
i seriously don't see how that matches up
Depends on the trial
susano i’m pretty sure no
HMMMMM
As for is it an efficient method of farming: no
||shinryu|| uhhhh probably not either
Im probably just better off queuing for them then?
no
Mechanically all are possible but Susan and moon
do party finder
Make an unsync pf
How many people you think minimum unsynced?
I got memoria ex in mentor roulette the other day and the dude facepulled...
oh yeah i guess there aren’t any team based mechanics
4-6? is probably good enough i’d say assuming all level 90
Ok
i’ve never cleared moon ex so idk about that one but probably at least 4 because of the third? phase
I did 4 people with seiryu, not all 90 but close enough. Still managed
Thanks alot you all
ty i never would have found that without help
More will make it more efficient and all the sb materials except susanoo and lakshmi sell for a good bit
definetly not doing treasure maps again
just use heavenswhere for maps
cwh is just a shit place to try to find treasures lol
did you guys just say theres no guides for hw maps
then why do them?
Gear, shits and giggles, achievements, potential cash
getting locked out of excitatron on the first door :)
i have no idea how anyone can decipher maps if they're like that
using map websites
most maps are not that difficult in my experience
Interactive maps for Final Fantasy XIV: Endwalker, Shadowbringers, Stormblood and Heavensward. Hunt monsters / Vistas / Mining / Botany / Fishing / Aether currents / Treasure maps
just skim around for noticeable shapes in the region the map reveals
this has pretty much every map
again you people literally told me theres no map website fpr hw map
no
i’m also pretty sure there’s only a select few locations a treasure can appear in each zone
God given talent /s
who’s you people
they said theres no map website for SINGLE PLAYER MAPS
there are website for 8 MAN MAPS
which is not what you had
people in this exact channel
^^^^
don’t do single player maps
theres no map website for SINGLE PLAYER MAPS
because nobody does single player maps
I do
Literally what I said
sell them on mb to the chumps who do
read that as heavensward
oh i haven’t tried that plugin
Pfft
but kind of a moot point since the map in question was a HW single person map
didn't drop anything of use anyways
But seriously just look at your map, and the treasure location, then cross reference
well yea, you did a single map
everything good has a low drop rate
otherwise they wouldn't be expensive
how was i supposed to cross reference a map with just textures and no landmarks
there's only so many places it could be, lol
as i said before i failed geography
failing geography has nothing to do with maps...?
Pattern recognition
its just looking for similar swiggly lines
We can't do it for you, practice makes perfecr
And there's no sources to check against
if i can't recognize unlabled real maps how can i figure out unlabled fake maps
It’s not even like they rotate it to mess with you or anything, it’s a one to one image
either way, you found what you were looking for
you see the squiggly line on the map, then you scan your eyes across the real map and look for the same squiggly line
don't really need to continue this conversation
i had to pick out a section of the map without anything to tell me the relative size in compaeison
anyways i'm not doing maps anymore because i'm no good at this kind of thing and the drops are crap
at least not these single player ones
hey your the people who insisted i do something after i decided not to do it the conversation coulda ended there
because the pants you're currently wearing need to be 60 or higher
Can't make shit look better than it actually is
ooooooh right, thanks
6.1 alliance gear wont be better than current bis right. as in, i am free to meld my alts assuming their savage gear wont be replaced in 6.1
What about substats?
sub stats aren't going to be enough to warrant a change
or rather its highly unlikely
as its almost always super niche situations
its more likely that classical augmented might push something out, on accessories if it does, due to poor substat spread
but like 99% of the time, substats are not going to outweigh main stats

What’s a good mage class my friend can play as if they want just good damage but also not have to worry about complexity?
