Can you rebuy veteran rewards somewhere? I kinda want a duplicate tantalus set.
Calamity Salvager, probably
hmmm.... i went through the options once, might have to go again
You can't. They are unique anyway. If you want duplicates, put them in the armoire and make glamour plates.
Yeah it's not there. Guess i'm dying the glamour plate instead.
is +400 glamour dresser planned for 6.1 or 6.2? i thought it was 6.1 but my FC says 6.2
6.2 for more space, 6.1 gives us 5 more plates iirc
well that's a bummer
will they let us unsync the 6.0 dungeons in 6.1?
can you not already?
no
You can't ever unsync current expansion content
you can't unsync current expac content
ah alright
so won't be until 7.0 that you can unsync 6.0 stuff
For tank swap mechanic is that basically off tank provoke the boss
And Mt shirks after the voke
ilevel synci s also not subject to older tiers usually so you can make old tiers easier

What date is patch 6.1?
12th
Awesome cheers dude
Just started my DK class. But I don't have the other gears and accessories. Should I buy on the MP ?
Just get buy some accessories real quick, then dungeon gear
Or vendor stuff for super low level
Dark Knight starts at level 30 so vendor gear will be fine until level 50. Buy what you can now and use dungeon gear as you level up.
How many quests is it after you clear Royal Meagerie Shinryu normal to Shadowbringers
If I buy a skip potion, will I get all the story items from the calamity salvager?
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Main_Scenario_Quests here is a helpful list of all MSQs so you can see where you're at relative to where you want to be
Is the drop rate for rare items lower when running with Trust?
Rates are fixed. The drops are fewer, though, because there's only you, meaning you get all the loot.
Ty I was mostly asking for my friend
well then I suppose we can change "you" to "they" in my sentence lol
is firmament a valid place to grind till 90 mining and gathering?
no, it falls off after 80
80-90 should be doing leves/collectables/studium deliveries
gotta finish endwalker I guess and then continue my grind
Hey I just ran Paradigm's Breach and the Nr 2B Chest Coffer wasn't among the loot. Is it RNG?
Ah right! But it's a guaranteed drop that you then roll for, right?
yes
Thank you!
The Junkmonger in Doman Enclave; when does she unlock? Cause I have her available but a friend doesn't and I don't know at which stage that part of the village is restored to interact with.
I don't know why people keep using that name, but if you're referring to the Doman Restoration donation lady, she unlocks when you start the Doman Restoration questline.
probably cos they're asking about the junkmonger who sells the various items that are connected to the restoration
and i don't remember when they start selling what
anyone got a tip for getting lots of white gatherers' crisp? I plan on mining nodes and turning them in, but was wondering if there is another way
Custom deliveries are a solid once-a-week source.
oh, gonna look into how to do those, thanks
every time I learn something new, I feel more and more lost lol

Is there a way to get rid of the Ehcatl Nine Delivery Quests form my Timers menu?
no
Am I missing a reason to do it past max reputation?
once maxed out rep it's there to exist and you can ignore it exists
If you don’t need to do it, just don’t do it
Venture tokens/moonstones, otherwise not really
Should I do every guilds class quests on my character?
Those are completely separate jobs
You need to do your job quests, but you don’t have to unlock them all
Sorry what do you mean? I am currently lvl 20
!faq msqtracker
-
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.
The stuff that appears at 2
It is never required to pick up every job. If you do pick up and want to seriously play a class/job, however, the class quests are all but required to use them effectively.
It isn’t
Just need to complete your level 10 job quest.
Then go to the guild, unlock rogue
Yeah I did all quests up to lvl 20
Then you should be able to find it in Limsa Lominsa.
Lima lomisna cant find it anywhere
Theres no search on the map for whatever reason :/
!quest so you want to be a rogue
You can't see quest markers unless you're in the right zone. It should be south of the fishing guild.
What city did you start in
It's the capital of La Noscea - you can get there by airship.
I started as a lancer
And have you unlocked airships
Nope I havent
Do the msq
Okay thanks
The lvl 15 story takes you to the other cities, so make sure you attune
do classes other than cnj get mounts at level 30
not like that, no
It’s only cnj and the tanks that have specific mounts like that
Is Tamamo Headgear a pain to get normally? I see in wiki theres 3 ways to get it but I see comments only talking about the FATE way
No
so idk if Wondrous tales is seasonal or out of date
It’s not, WT will always be relevant and the certificate rewards don’t just go away

the fate way is just the original way and therefore has been around for so long people probably wouldn't have made new comments about the other ways
Anyway getting them is a joke
Kinda annoying to get if no one else is doing fates
And if the super boss doesn’t spawn, it can take a good while
IMO it’s worth the tomestones if you don’t want other expensive stuff or lots of MGP
for EW, do u need to do the role quests for msq prog like ShB?
no
oh ok
also, do you return to ||mare lamentorum||? a few parts of the map are still a bit dark even though im basically done with the ||lopporit base ship thing||
You complete it in one go
one of the lv90 dungeons is on mare
You can explore on your own, as the game expects you to for the currents
ok ive been usually waiting till i finish a map before i go exploring
so wait can i actually solo enter p1n or do i need a group to just leave me behind
i wanna do the stupid solo thing
what?
You need people to leave

So how good are potions in combat
Healing ones.are shit
Weskalber suggested chugging ethers to cast another Flare
You only use pots that increases stats
Using an ether for another flare Is a weak use of a potion if you really want to pot
Buffing every spell for 30s is far better than 1 flare
Can i unsync lvl 51-57 dungs with a lvl 72
anyone know how to fix the 'password invalid' pop up whe ntrying to log in?
my account just got compromised and ive been trying to change password and stuff and that pops up everytime i enter a new password
should be able to
one time password doesnt seem to work either
are you trying to do it for Square or Mogstation
im trying to get in through the launcher
i can log into both square and mogstation fine
that'd be mogstation
I forget, do those potions last as long as food?
any clue on how to get over it?
its odd this pops up everytime i try logging through the launcher
nah nothin
are you playing through steam
oh wait
it seems to have randomly started working
ill give you the credit for that
so we have 4 afk in our prae run, can the rest vote dismiss all or is majority needed
u can vote dismiss iwth half i imagine...2/4 is enough for a regular dungeon
Majority is needed for kicks
4/8 would be needed for 8 mans
should I just vendor the gears I looted in dungeon?
Better to give to the grand company for GC seals if you are able to
im a little lost, Ive noticed i havent done allied beast tribes for any expansion. I looked at ARR and i cant begin it because i havent done all the previous stuff. Upon looking theyre all rank 4 trusted. Ixal however can go higher according to this....I looked at the questline and lathe to the party is the last one thats completed in my log yet the next one the npc has no blue quest above...im utterly baffled
Is your reputation maxed
yea ixtal rep never goes 0/0 till like...rank 7 or something

Do i really need 6000 poetics for anima weapon... God
I regret not doing the tribe quests
Spoiler tags and no
oops my bad
The debuff kills you
I'm just thinking of something wonky like turning off stance and maintaining emnity so you can shirk to a melee dps lmao
the whole quest line is around 12k poetics
and it can be reduced by a lot if you do some of the weekly quests that give mats
So I just transferred servers. Is there a way to know when it's safe to log in again?
The message said I shouldn't log in monkaS
It doesn't take long
You should get an email when it's done
It's usually quick to instant
I see thanks guys
Quick question, if im the owner of the PF and someone changed role how can i update my PF?
Close pf and reopen
which food effect is best to give to your chocobird once they max out at 20
is it atk, health, hp or Enmity
Most likely healing because you’ll be doing the bulk of the damage either way, also chocobos never out aggro you
Tank birb sucks tbh. HP or healing are better options.
So, the level 90 summons are just more damage?
Yes
The aoes are also different
Except garuda
Ifrit egi is a cone
Nugget is centred on himself
Yeah, ifirit and titan don't walk up
Level 90s are all aoes centered on the target
The Aetherochemical Research Facility is the quickest way to get poetics right?
do you need two tanks to clear dancing plague (extreme) at 90?
awesome
at worst you see a bit into phase 2

is it worth it to buy classical gear before 6.1?
It gets you into all content until 6.2
upgradeable to i590 in 6.1
with aphorisms
Ninja Garb Augmentation
where do i obtain the book to be able to craft this? i'm 90 in all crafters
Mor dhona, Talan
do you know the name of the recipie?
the wiki doesn't tell
i know it's alchemist that makes it but
i'd assume it's master alchemist?
Yes
cool ty
If it needs synced it will specify
Yes it does
oh and for where i need to have the weapon equipped, does it mean equipped as i leave, or equipped as i fight
for dungeons equipped on leaving i want to say (that's for anima at least). for trials on for the fight
the later arr relic kill shit (books) dont need it equipped
at least i dont think so except maybe the levequest marks
(brain no worky)
for books I remember for sure the target mobs will have gear cog icons on them or something like that
I have question, I'm using different PC, and noticed all my Settings/Hud is in default settings ?
How I want the same settings from my Main PC ?
or it's impossible
Copy the files across or upload the settings to the server at character selection via the 2 cogs
- Which files to copy ?
- How to Upload the settings ?
at character selection via the 2 cogs
System settings backup and character settings backup
how about files to copy ? is it the config files ?
My games > ffxiv > your character folder
Okie, thank you very much ! 😄
I was switching around my settings right? and now for some reason every button I press on my keyboard automatically opens chat
and I cant drag skills across my hotbars now
anyone know how to fix this?
Restart game
how do I do that?
In character config or keybinds
ah found it, much thanks
What’s that do?
no clue how it was turned on, never touched the setting
I need to get 1000 poetics by tonight. What's the quickest way to get a bunch of poetics
Opens chat with any keybind
Ew
It's useful for people on controller
Just press buttons on external keyboard to type in chat
Did you do Msq already
That can't be a quick way lol
not with how long Praetorium can be...
It’s 500 poetics
Oof

I guess I'll have to touch on that... What's best after that?
After that it’s probably 50/60/70/80
Or spam your preferred 24-man raid or level cap dungeon that gives 100/150 poetics
!faq poetics
Technically outdated, but up to date for the most part.
Aerothem Research Fac isn't a good alternative?
It's inferior to roulettes
That’s the 150 one, but it all depends on queue times
Ah
All the beast tribes also give 15 poetics iirc
They do
so another question
what do all the chat modes do? like say and shout and what not?
ARR beast tribe dailies give poetics too?
Say = 20y radius
Yell = 100y radius
Shout = zone-wide
ah
thanks ❤️
What Ilvl should the next ex be at
how should i be using manaward
!action manaward
i usually use it to tank a hit if i can't get my spell out in time or buy the healer some time if i take a lot of damage
prob not meant to be used that way
Minimum requirement will likely be 580, with weapon reward of 595
Thx
if i'm hardcasting a long spell like flare and an aoe pops up under me then i usually just pop manaward so i can still get the spell out
Another use would be to weave it in to tank a hit and keep on casting spell instead of running away
assuming i don't have enough time to slide cast
Another use I can think of, would be using it before the tank stop and start aoeing
20s is a pretty long duration, this would allow you to fire off a few AOE and tank AOE hits from the mobs
i also use it if the tank dies to buy time for the healer to get the tank's hp high enough
from what i understand ogcd can't activate during a hardcast right
how many tokens should i need for exchange the radiant weapon
sometimes it's activated to late and the aoe still hits me
10
That's snap shot
The game resolves who get hit a little bit sooner than what's happening on the screen
This has its advantages and disadvantages
i noticed thought it was just latency
Bit of both
my pings decent at 80-90
so... how does one get orange juice the color your world quest?
Buy from nearby NPC
theres a merchant that sells it in the town where the waking sands is
Does POD aetherpool gear sync with HOH or are the seperate
gotcha thanks

anyone remember when the last make it rain event was?
alrighty ty! for some reason I was thinking there was one not too long ago
Is there a date for Ishguard housing yet? Thank you
Next Tuesday?
Yes
Thank you!
question: can a free trial player solo all heavensward dungeons unsynced to farm mounts
Unless you meant the tank achievement, in which case the dungeons would need to be 61 or higher
You need to be quite overlevelled and geared to solo old content
You can’t even do the lvl 50 stuff in shire
are you guaranteed Twine + Roborant on a 1 chest clear? I forget
Nope
No
Chests are rng
Is there a command to swap a crossbar? Like 1 to 2 and 2 to 1
ty
default keybind is shift+1, where 1 is the hotbar number
Sorry, I meant like. Copy all crossbar 1 to 2 and then 2 to 1
Is solo lvl70 Extreme Trial possible? boss has 5mil HP. Stat squished unsync is not helping as far I see.
Only with warrior and after stacking echo up to 25%
Aka not viable to farm
aye :c
Which one also
Hell's Kier Extreme lol
Because tsuki and Susan have mechanics
All but Seiyro, tsuko and suzuku have been soloed
Oh and susanoo
Cause he's impossible
I know there's a macro for it, but I can't recall the details
/chotbar copy class # class #
Whatever class/job abbreviation you want goes in the class slot, the hotbar number goes in the #
The first one will be copied onto the second one
What if it’s on the same class?
It would just both be the same class
Idk if you can swap them like that
Anyone know how much aetherpoool you need to do floors 21-30 on hoh?
IIRC, 7/7 or 8/8
Alr, I wanna forge the grips but istg if I drop back down to floors 11-20 im screwed haha
I recommend staying semi-high to make clearing easier
you don't have to buy all of em at once ._.
Like 20/20 or 30/30
you can like 3 at a time
Copy 1 to 3
Then 2 to 1
Then 3 to 2
Yeah thats what im doin, ive gotten 5 so far but still sitting at 74-72
Seriyo and Suzuki have been solod btw
/chotbar copy Reaper 1 Reaper 3?
Mr happy has a few videos on them
Rpr*
But yes
What if it’s a shared crossbar?
Thanks!
Is there a way to copy left crossbar to right?

Thaaaat
I don't know
I play on a Tartarus/m+kb
No worries. Seems gonna do it manually
hey i noticed with my current sps fire 2 has a 2.75 cast time and 2.29 recast does that mean it's impossible to weave due to the 500ms animation lock
i thought you needed like a 1 second difference between the cast and recast
should I care about ostensibly special timeworn maps?
If you want free lvl 80 portals sure
just skimmed through the spells how do i weave as a blm my thunder and firestarter procs it seems all of them except for xenoglossy have longer cast times than gcd times or equal
What is free lv 80 portalss????
what is: Countermeasures against gil-related fraudulent activities have been implemented for 6.08 hotfix?
Fire/blizzard 3 have shorter casts when you use them to swap
They won't tell you otherwise bots would know
And therefore could dodge it easily
Whats actually the easiest "Legend" Title to get? And is it soloable? 🤔 Beginner here 😁✌️
So maps for 8 people can spawn portals randomly, therefore having that be guaranteed to happen is good
The one from uwu and fucking lol you wish, you can never unsync it
do i have to have 7 friends or can i like duty queue for it what's the deal with maps
Just have a tank and heal minimum
You have to be in the party beforehand
Haha Okidoki thank u 😁✌️
it'll be quite some time before i'm at level 80 content given how much time i spend dicking around is it worth it to buy the maps and save them for later
all I know about timeworn maps is the ones I found leveling min and btn sold pretty well
If you have nothing else you want, go for it
Mgp is a joke to get, but it’s your tomes
@pine grove treasure maps can open portals to special dungeons that give lots of Gil, tomes, items, Materia, etc if you’re lucky and kill bosses
weaving on BLM sucks before xenoglossy at 80
before then you have to weave on thunder refresh or fast f3 b3
or triplecast
The maps are super cheap in crystal rn
I’d go for mgp
wiat i may have been extremely dumb this entire time but for the free trial i can play it forever ever when i reach level 60 or will it expire and force me to pay the monthly?
Anyone wanna lv up together? Im lv30 scholar
It ends when you buy the game
so can i technically just play the free version forever
With all the limitations yes
alright
I’ve seen someone who played the free trail for 800 hours
They still didn’t do everything they could have done
Shout out to Coleridge

my plan is to milk the free trial, then buy the expansions and subscription til i finish those
Can there be more than one FC with the same <TAG> on a single server?
Hey all I just become a mentor, is there a way to turn novice network off/on? (So that it doesnt take up my chat in duties).
Yep that’s a good plan
You could separate the chat to another tab
<Wanderer> is people visiting from another world
Wdym?
Oh I see like set a log filter to NN?
Remove the NN from one tab and add a new tab for it so you can toggle
Ye
Ok sweet thanks!
after the next patch, when Prae gets halved, will the first half still be for 8 players?
Nope
No
Castrum and prae are both becoming 4
Nve fixed
any easy way to remember what guerdon, guile and grasp stand for? always confused
What?
Materia
yea... will patch 6.1 be fun and story good and new? what do you think?
Yes
We haven't played it
From the trailer
Yes
jammer patch, best of all, nothing comes close /s
But yea
We don't know like
99% of the stuff lol
okie thanks
hey I was wondering If its possible to assign the DRK class to my retainer?
Once they’re above 30, since that’s where the job starts
ahh I see thanks
so im gonna be finishing EW once 6.1 drops. how does gearing work once that drops, after i get the 89 AF gear?
Just get classical, I guess?
is that the crafted set?
yes
i oughta rewrite my gearing guide
tbh
it was pinned in this chat for some time
but basically during 6.1 the tldr is
astronomy tomes i590, upgrade i600 (savage OR tokens)
classical gear (marketboard) i580, upgrade i590 (aphorisms)
new alliance raid i590 once per week
lv90 normal raid i580 up to 4 pieces per week
lv90 ex3 trial i595 weapon only
is eorzea "the realm" or does that refer to the whole world?
the contenient i think
It’s the continental region you start in

can anyone recommend me a silly ass goofy ass orchestrion roll to put in my room
i dont know where to start looking
dancing mad
im thinking more like
fuck i might have to buy that
Any of the seasonal ones, really
They’re all ridiculous in their own ways
Alternatively: Good King Moggle Mog
i was thinking of something that reminded me of this
but that is asking for far too much
Yeah, there’s nothing like that
You can get ambient sounds, but those are like… birds chirping or flowing water.
Everything else is OST
i will have to make do with what i have
this world is hard on silly men
wait do you know the name of the bird chirping orchestrion roll
I think it’s something like “Ambient Birds”
It should be available from the furnishings vendor in any housing district
Sooo im trying to figure out, are samurai getting boosted orr..nerfed?
isnt it more of a rework?
It’s a rework
not nearly as drastic
Not that drastic
I want to purchase PS4 license for my existing account with PC license. Does the 30 day free time period still apply?
Ok
Yes
just a few systematic changes
Also sooo i keep hearing things but like XD are summoners not that useful or..
like i feel they are great
As long as you’re purchasing and applying a new license which includes the base game, you’ll get the 30 days
Oh i know how to summon
I understand
SMN is basically just a lot easier now. They’re very good dps
I just, i keep seeing people not really like using them or they dont
its mainly blm or mostly rdm
XD
Sick. Thanks
We don't know if it'll result in a buff or neef to dps
But it makes the job slightly more accessible
Darn cause wesk came out with a sam vid to help make it easy for me and understand what i should be doing in a sense
It does however hurt it's chemistry with Dancer, Dragoon and Scholar
We'll just have to wait and see
To answer a bit more in depth. Samurai are losing a skill but they're getting a "buff"(?) to their strongest moves. Giving them 100% critical hit chance in exchange for losing the power up skill. Whether this is for better or worse remains to be seen. It has caused a lot of discourse about SAM however.
Other thing i wanted to ask...XD i feel like i keep goign with the minority classes, cause like...I was gonna do war buttt i was enjoying pal, its just the constanct shelltron is anoying
See thats why im like..iffy unlocking it
See im told i have to XD
And other 25s mits
Its that and..well Cover isn't really useful since i could easily die that way
Cover is rarely used
I know intervene is
Sooo getting out of aoes
Oh ok
Cause my main tanks were war gnb and drk..drk is iffy but yea
Anddddd I was confused at the stuff that was said for drg?
Just less animation lock on jumps
Okie. Its mroe or less...I tend to go for the classes thatttt are like, more useful in a fight per say? I know everyone says pick what you like but XD i overstress it lol
how and where do I farm for the tank mounts?
61 and above
any more specific
like name of the duty and how I'd tackle it
probably a trial unsynced right
I’m pretty sure it’s just literally lvl 61 and up duties
well I know that, I'm asking which one is optimal
Sooo are pallys useful endgame or warriors are like the better options?
I think one of the Omega raids
Warriors are practically too angry to die
lakshmi ex is pretty solo
XD sighhhh, darn Sooo woul i be saving myself the hassel switching to war?
wdym double dip
Depends
there's 2 tank mount achievements
I'd say tanks are balanced enough that it really does boil down to personal preference.
Paladins were apparently used for initial Panda Savage clears
1 that is just run high end duties (raids, extreme/unreal trials) and 1 that is do essentially 61+ content
Its like, the only tank i ever maxed was drk
though the gnb achievements are both 61+ content
one of them gives the unarmored mount, the other armored
anddd like, i dooo love pal's like story, and gnb has a fun rotation. War is just, sit back and stuff. Sooo...im like...stuck XD
I dont wanna do drk agian
play whatever you enjoy more
differences between jobs is not significant enough that you're hindering yourself by playing one or the other
I'll do lakshmi since I haven't even heard of o3
and its all tanks on the party finder for this?
doesn't have to be, but its relatively common to find all tank runs for it
Alrighttttt.. Last thing, lol, areee Astros more frequent and stuff in the whole panda stuff?
I love astro and stuff lol
I just was curious. I know white mage is struggling rn (that was my main before i gave astro a shot and it blew it off my list)
how many more quests are there after steps of faith?
about 9 till you are done with arr
do NMs in eureka spawn automatically if you farm enough monsters during their 2hr cooldown?
after their cooldown is finished
All healers are roughly evenly desired across the tier. Astrologian got a bit of extra pull for p3s because one of its skills is ... basically broken with respect to a specific mechanic found in that particular raid, which is why you might see more of it being requested. Not sure how long that'll last, or if SE will try to balance the skill in question back down.
does anyone know what the ilvl requirement is for the new alliance raid coming in 6.1?
575?
ye, 575
Does retainer gear matter for what they bring back on a Quick Expedition, or is it just random?
matters to a degree in that better gear means potentially better rewards
but ultimately still rng
is there an LFG discord?
can we get mounts from materiel containers?
Yes
its a pretty low chance though

I accidentally logged into the wrong SE account when I was trying to get back into the game after not playing for a while. Now I cant log into the account with all my progress in the FFXIV launcher, the username field is greyed out with the account username I dont want to use in it. Is there anything I can do?
I thought this was weird because I've already played 180 hours in the account I want to use on the same Steam account
so my understanding of 6.1 gear prog is:
astronomy tomes i590, upgrade i600 (savage OR tokens)
classical gear (marketboard) i580, upgrade i590 (aphorisms)
new alliance raid i590 once per week
lv90 normal raid i580 up to 4 pieces per week
lv90 ex3 trial i595 weapon only
im almost 90, so was considering buying a full HQ classical set. how does upgrading it with aphorisms work?
normal raid will be uncapped with 6.1
The only thing that will be weekly capped with it is the tokens to exchange for the astronomy weapon tomestone
To answer the question tho of how to upgrade the crafted, you exchange the crafted gear to the npc for tokens and use the item bought with aphorism to buy the augmented version
it's a 1:1 exchange rate if you exchange HQ version of that slot
im probably gonna finish EW like 2 days after 6.1 drops, so wondering how to do this
(forget the exact numbers, so using example numbers) so if you exchange a HQ hand you get 12 tokens
which you would need 12 tokens + aphorism item = augmented classical
generally don't want to exchange NQ as its lower tokens
so buy the crafted HQ, work towards upgrading it with aphorism, and replace pieces as they come from alli raid?
is castrum abania or doma castle better for 69-71?
castrum
realistically wouldn't need to replace with alliance raid since it'd be same ilvl then.
so augmented crafted + ex3 wep i guess then?
at that point, should just focus on replacing it with augmented astronomy or savage (if you are going to do savage, and its BiS)
and then slowly replace with capped tomestone BiS pieces or something
but yeah if you're willing to throw down the gil for crafted, you can go that route with ex3 weapon
just took a look at prices. like 450k for everything crafted HQ. odd how rings are like 60k apiece tho
if you can find cheap HQ weapons, you can buy a few of those to exchange for the tokens needed for augmented crafted
absolutely cheapest route for new players with 6.1 would be farming normal mode
HQ weapons are the highest amount of tokens when you're exchanging them
thing is, the aphorism mat trader i imagine requires me to beat EW?
mhm
ill just trade in my 1st crafted tank set and then do weps for the others if i care then
kewl
against 1 target, does phys or magical ranged lb do more damage?
melee
phys ranged lb and caster lb does the same
just different shapes

Hi all, not really a game-related question, but what ffxiv songs do u think would sound cool with a muffled/underwater effect?
i like the ruby sea music
how can I set other player's title below their names? (including mine)
i think the bubble effects make it sound better
By changing your title
Titles are either suffixes or prefixes
Indicated by the ...
... of the seventh dawn
Legendary...
FFXIV OST The Ruby Sea Daytime Theme ( Liquid Flame ) ?
ye
If it's at the start, it's a suffix, goes on bottom
If it's at the end, it's a prefix, goes on top
ok, ill brb
Thank you
Wedding Invite times are based off server time, correct?
no, time on wedding invites is adjusted to the person's time
anyone know how i find these?
there should be mining nodes within the green circle
oh thanks
just to make sure, the elemental armor doesnt need you to level the antiquated armor, just having the pyros crystals and 50 logos actions discovered?
yep, and a relic weapon up to pyros too
anemos armor is unneeded
the paired relic weapon (drg relic for maiming set eg.) or just about any, and it needs to be inv/armory?
any and ye in your inventory/arm
oki ty
anybody know why i can't spear a fish for shit
slight delay between pushing the button and the pokey stick touching the fish
do you have the gig equipped
Requested by Paragon on FFXIV discord, hope u like it :)
I do.
ty very much
all good, im experimenting with a variety of ffxiv songs, let me know if u want to hear any others 🙂
So when you interact with the fishing node, what happens
i get the spearing pop up and i see the fish swim in the background
you could try amaurot, that one my be interesting
oh yeah true, that would be very relaxing
The size of the boxes might vary, perhaps
can you post a screenshot of what you see when you're spearfishing?
but they should be there, around the middle
hm
Gear?
What are you using VS the level of the fishing hole?
i got a lvl 61 gig on a 65 node
gig doesnt matter cos there's only 1 gig
yea def upgrade
Probably why
ah of course
i had the same issue
get the vendor gear in kugane
Their way of telling you your gear isn't good enough
get better gear
Yeah get better gear. That’s way too low for spear fishing
i was trying to spearfish with 53 gear 
yeah so different from mining or botany
spearfishing definitely needs Stormblood and later gear
Mining/botany is similar
i was able to get to 70 with same gear and not miss on items
Your gathering odds are lower with worse gear
gathering rate
without spending GP?
yeah but i think it was cuz i was in diadem
diadem moment
Ah diadem is different
ive been spoiled
Different tiers of stuff to gather depending on your gear
unspoil yourself like those nodes
lol yeah. thanks for the help
speaking of it's usually unspoiled nodes (lv x0) that really test if your gathering stat is high enough
for min/btn
When does floor 2 of Panda Savage come out?
6.2, which likely august
August-ish. 6.2.
has someone else had problems with inputs sometimes just vanishing? Could that be/come down to my keybinding as it's just my mmo mouse bindings (used numpad and numpad+modifiers)
I first thought I'd be the mouse but no shot, even on very slight touches it works properly.
Hello. What is the command to add another dc to your roles. Can someone let me know?

Doesn't really matter much, but maybe look a bit for your language so it's easier to find a fc?
shiva on light has a lot of germans for exmaple iirc.
oh wait you only mean data center lol
just use ping
!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
thank you! [T]/
Come to shiva, we'll make you laugh with our dummy thick accent :>
There are enough english speaking fc's too.
sure let me get back from work in 2 hours
well are you fine with chatting in a call later?
look dm's
Shiva and Moogle are still majority English.
All servers that aren’t on the Japanese datacentres are majority English
Hello!
Question regarding the Stormblood expansion.
At what point do the Doman quests start?
Im already in Yanxia, lvl64.
the ruby sea is in doma, kugane would be what i consider the start of that part
Right after you finish Sirensong Sea and get to Kugane
Hingashi and Doma are right next to each other so
Yanxia = Doma
Oksy.
Im just a bit confused on what people say.
That the Doman part is the good part.
But from what I felt, Both the Rhalgr part and the Ruby Sea part so far seemed equally slow (as in set up quest slow, still good)
Technically the western part of Ruby Sea is, yeah, also Doma
Ruby Sea isn’t popularly liked
welcome to stormblood enjoy your stay
People say all kinds of stuff that in the end is personal opinion
main msq is very devisive to say the least
But you definitely haven’t really gotten into anything yet
Usually Azim Steppe is the part people talk most positively about
i mean susano was a blast
^ This
close to your region and where you live usually
Freaking loved the trial
so you don't feel estranged, and it fits your culture
So I have better parts to look forward to. Got it.
One last question. Im about to meat the Domans. Im using SAM and MNK so far, but already have NIN leveled to 60
Susano is my best and favorite trial
Should I speed level NIN and meet them as one?
What job you play almost never have any impact
Even if it does, you can always just re-watch those cutscene with a different job
Okay. Thank you!
Iirc Yugiri has 1 throwaway comment on shinobi but idk if that's in Stormblood or earlier
I can only remember maybe 2-3 occasions where it has small (and inconsequential) changes on the cutscene
Pretty sure there is one in ARR, in the Good King Moogle Mog trial
it is
You just need to have ninja unlocked for that one
I leveled Ninja specifically for it
Iirc, In Stormblood ||if you play as a healer during a certain cutscene, you will heal one of the key NPC. If you don't, I am told that someone else will do the healing||
Ah i see thank u
I happened to play Astrologian when that cutscene play out
||If you show up for an incognito mission as a ninja, she comments that you’re being bold by openly showing you’re a ninja. If you come as any other class she praises you for being inconspicuous
||
Im not spoiling myself. If I just needed NIN, then Im covered.
Thank you so much!
That's nifty, Lyon
do astronomy tomestones from wondrous tails not count towards the weekly limit
They do
ok
what are some good things to buy with poetics that is not gear?
!faq poetics
my favourite is soil, been into gardening recently
it's possible to crit quality/progress while crafting, yes?
is there also a direct hit or just crit
There is no crit
What you're seeing is probably condition buff (poor/normal/good/excellent)
The current condition for a crafting step gives a multiplier to quality-increasing actions used on that step
Most of the time it's normal, but you can randomly proc good (1.5x multiplier) or excellent (4x multiplier)
Well yes but actually no, it's as lyon said before. There is however a passive trait that makes good and excellent procs more common
Excellent is always followed immediately by poor (0.5x multiplier)
It's locked behind job quests so DO THEM
Heya ! Just to make sure ,.... if the new houses are coming , i can buy more entries to the raffle with my FC right ? like choosing 6 people and they all can buy a raffle entry if i give them the money and right for it :3 ?
hmm
Yes but it's still rng
yeah I wondered where I got a massive number spike from
I was gonna meld crit materia on crafter stuff
you can see the condition on the bottom left of the crafting window (normal here)

it also shows as the colour of the little white light on your crafting table
yeah I got it
I mean that's not entirely useless...
Just 99%
it is entirely useless 
Melded gear spirit bonds faster
if white/purple scrips go to things like materia/gear/ingredients, what are skybuilder scribs for?
Never seen lyon post a meme like that, this just made my morning
Mounts, minions, dye, glam, old materia
selling for gil then?
emotes

hmm
my gil has been on a rollercoaster lately, spent a bunch to level to 90, then made some back sellings stuff, then spent again to level
Not really, because of how crafting materia only covers 3 stats it's common to use old materia in melds to save money
is cp materia even worth keeping
So even rank 4 and 5 materia are still used
Yes, definitely, absolutely
i've yet to get a crafter to 90 so if i'm grinding a specific collectable out (usually firmament stuff) i end up just eating food for more cp
CP materia is most of your overmelding at 90.
CP is essentially your most powerful stat as a crafter
Can you delete more than one item in your inventory at a time?
Once you hit the required stats for endgame crafting, Control and CP offers more value over craftmanship
no blugins?
This is on top of food which you are always using at endgame
Increases in craftmanship doesn't have value until they allow you to do less synthesis moves
Yeah you want craftsmanship to a desired breakpoint and no further
Control and CP in comparison, the more the merrier
Then control here and there, and CP crammed everywhere.
Some gear pieces can't take much CP before hitting the cap, so that's where you can cram as much control as possible
Control let your touch add more quality and there's no falloff
Why not sell at a vendor or turn in for gc seals?
CP let you do more moves
You shouldn't normally have more than 2-3 things you have to discard
I have a lot of unneeded collectable
Lower quality and sell
Or still turn them in, or did you over collect for a custom delivery?
lowering quality is a little faster and helps organize tho
they are a custom delivery I don't need. I just want the achievement so I can be a mentor
Lowering quality is MUCH faster
For anyone who plays dancer, how is it sitting right now? I've noticed a lot of good players I know have been using it for panda prog
They've been getting pretty good parse too
good player is they keyword there
pretty sure those players will be still good no matter what class they play
top 50 speedclears distribution
If you are not familiar with this then it doesn't matter
!faq meta
overall worse than BRD, but in a good spot
people sometimes don't want DNC in parse groups cause nobody wants DP
otherwise, there's nothing bad about it
wait why dont people want dp 
taxes your crits

Sup, where to - or if it there is a bot command with the link - look for statics?
theres a light version of #603040765723148289 , thats where you'll start looking
For eu servers I'll always recommend erc
Thanks
at what point does one learn materia extraction? I got 3 white items on my character-
need to do this lvl19 
much thanks <3
How do you get proper widescreen settings?
Well basically that is also use the 21:9

Hey so on the complete edition the free 30 day period is just in general right and not only if you're new?
only a part of standard
which complete comes with
and its only useable 1 time per account
Ok so if im in shb I won't be able to use it or?
You already have it
do levequests rotate after you complete or submit one?
Yes
🤔
Submitting is completing them so idk what you're asking
sure I guess
book counts for submitting them
which item is not available on p3s 1 chest clear?
rng
could miss out on legs could miss out on twine
Or roborant, who knows
Can you go through eureka without doing the relic weapon?
you can, but you'll miss out on the armor

Yes, can you do it and get what you want, probably not
thanks for that I guess, I was referring to just doing it for story
is carrot nible still the best leve to do?
what food do lvl 90 white mages need?
depends on if your high piety or damage set
!faq balance
they have all the info there depending on the set
sweet ty
The Draughts use a monster material, while the Nibbles use a pre-craft and hidden node item.```
This all depends on material prices, of course
Or whichever downside you find more annoying to gather for
Do i have to do dungeons with my squadrons to unlock the last rank?
Can i cntrl select all items for expert delivery or something
yes
5 unique ones
so can't do 5x halatali
you can spam Confirm button
0 on numpad by default
Whats the current best cosmetics to spend wolf marks on?
Thx for the info👍
super subjective 
might not be the right place, but how does xivanalysis take into account if you're not in BiS?
Your rotation has nothing to do with your gear
No amount of stats is gonna make clipping your gcd via triple weave okay
That said xiv analysis is still kinda fucky, especially for old ultimates and smn
The only stat xivanalysis really looks at is your GCD
@wind zephyr doing 10(any) squadron missions gets you a bunch of emotes too, pushups situps etc if you want them
Does anyone know why my game might have started stuttering/lagging recently? Never used to do this and I haven’t changed anything. Is there a setting that makes a big difference to performance I can change?
Ohh i doesnt know that! Thx a lot for the info
Check in system config what framerate you're running at
60?
If you leave it uncapped your pc might be trying to run at like 200, or maybe you accidentally turned it down, idk
Europeans servers are laggy
Okay, could be anything then
Ive noticed too
:’(
Lots of people disconnecting
Put it down to 30 FPS and it’s stopped, bit tragic tho
2002 error?
Are the servers having issues at the moment?
cant decide to switch datacenters or not :// all my friends on primal stopped playing so i pretty much play solo most of the time but i have some friends on aether who are all v active and raiding together
Yes
They have been unstable for some weeks
But today are worse
At least in europe

Yeah im not having much problems but ive seen lots of afks
why are alliance raids in expansions so long compared to the realm reborn one 🤔 is there a reason for that?
more sync'd people running it
Higher overall potency, less complex kits, designed to not require healers to DPS iirc
Crystal tower raids are just easy. And like Castrum/Prae, higher level players are being synced to about ilevel 130 for ilvl 50-90 content.
People were crazy over midare having a 700 potency attack
In SB
That’s how far the game has come lol
try to run it when you unlock it the first time (using job gear etc)
and see you died from raidwide 😹
dying is usual for me same goes for stacks 
When I switch data centers to make a character on my friends DC, this is all I see....
Anyone run into this before?
Even fully closing and rebooting, this is all I can get when I change DC's
When I try to go back to my home DC it does the same thing
I have to close the game and re-open it to get my character list back
and if I change DC then restart it puts me back on my home DC
What's the price for each house size again ?
