same with idyllshire
Immediately
idyllshire enthusiasts wya
literally you can do new alliance raid right after maint end
Same for the new ex
So choose your own content
Well for alliance raid you gotta do quest before unlocking it
Aria you prolly just unlock ready when maint ends since assuming you already cleared EW MSQ and the normal version of the trial
With the EXs you usually just talk to the minstrel, right?
Yea
This time he should be by the Sharlayan harbor
Where you unlock the first 2 ex
In which language?
english, actually
Huh really?
it’s got swedish origins, which is why it sounds slightly different
I didn’t know that, that’s cool
compared to the mostly germanic roots of english
hey does anyone know if there are craftable crafter gear yet? OR if it's coming out next patch?
tryin to ready up for next patch so I can make myself some nice paladin gear
like other then ar-caean?
🤔
is that the craftable one?
yah
Oh gotcha
if you want specsislized you can do scrip gear i suppose
arcaean is good if you’ve got multipled crafters leveled like i do😎
well, whichever one is the best atm. If they're coming out with better ones next patch though I won't bother going in too hard on it
Oh trust me I have em all 😛
They are
then do arcaean
yeah arcaean, but no pentameld
can go for that now, however idk if they can make classical
or am i bonkers
Yeah then I will do the melding when the patch drops instead of before
what’s the difficulty of classical
universal scrip prob be 6.2
Classical only needs the open slots filled at minimum
Though more is always better
half of the time if you’re really worried about it, hq ingredients are the way to go
some late game recipes only have one part of the recipe that can be crafted, which does half the quality worth from there
wait classical HQ can be made with just ar caean no pentamelded? 🤔
you could probably do it if you have hq ingredients…
With full HQ probably
part of me wonders
ah okie
I don't get 100% HQ, more like 75% with a food buff, but it works (most of the time)
I also never bothered optimizing the craft sequence much
(haven't finished EW yet) but are there new mastery books to collect in postgame?
yup
gotcha
assuming that you’re talking about i think it’s ix & x now
yeah
I'm almost there though
at like lv 88 MSQ currently
it will be available soon 🤩
Just 9. Tier 10 books are coming later.
btw what is the min ilvl expected to be for the new ex?
probably 580

ah, good enough, thanks
Just finished the beast trib chain quest. Should I do all the daily quests?
Can only do 12 a day
Question, was there an announcement of 6.1 will allow us to trade totems from Trial EX with mount?
6.2 will be the earliest
Does that mean 90ex totem trade will be in 6.3?
Ah thank you. Guess I'll just suffers more then 😔
huh
er sorry
I already got Trial 2 EX mount rather fast, but for Trial 1 EX is just 😔
Already accumulating 61 totems now
??
dunno why i thought ruby was before hades 
Why am I being level capped?
Because you haven't bought/applied endwalker to your account
or if you did, you did it while logged in and thus haven't downloaded the expansions
Wait whaaa?
I thought endwalker wasw for level 80 - 90
read what He said 😹
endwalker raised the level cap to 90 yes, but you still need to buy the expansion to go past 60
as starter/trial only goes to lvl 60
and they no longer sell stormblood or shadowbringers
as they are rolled into endwalker
ah so you didn't buy the starter/complete edition
But I am currently paying for the subscription
I thought that would be enough?
no
wait what?
I am
ohhh so He bought starter edition, but not endwalker
Right click game > manage > cd keys
I've slapped that key into the websight
If you bought Complete
There'll be an endwalker code there
endwalker DLC, you going to need it if you don't buy the complete edition
Does Irminsul not give Thaumaturge Ice/Fire thing when hit?
If you don't have it there
Gotta buy endwalker
Alrighty, thank you all
You don't get buffs if you hit an immune target
You need to pay attention to the debuff for the tree/dog, in that fight. one becomes immune to magic, the other to physical
so if you're attacking the one immune to magic, you don't get your shit
Does martialist in eureka/bozja turn a tank into a dps or is the hp lower than a dps would have?
Irregular will literally mean you die to any roomwide aoe if there's no.echo buff increasing your hp
If you don't mitigate it
Oof I’m not doing that then ty!!
How come the Binding Coils are the only non-extreme in the first two sections that never get duty finder fills?
Binding Coils are stupidly hard for non Savage content
And not in any roulette for that reason
they are not on any roulette, either.
They are savage content.
because at the time there was no "savage" difficulty. so they are savage.
But there's Second Coil Savage tho
They're savage content before savage even existed
Casual modes of 8man raids were introduced in HW
That’s beyond current savages
The reason they're not explicitly named "savage" is because in ARR there were no rules and everything was being made up.
Ah noted
Coils = current savages
And fixing cheese strats
Second coil savage = harder than current savages
So far I've only done synced until T9
People complained about not being able to see the story without clearing difficult content, so for HW they introduced an easy, casual mode of the raids, the “normal” mode
And the “real” raids were given the savage descriptor
And that’s how it’s been ever since
and then they made alex savage so difficult it nearly killed the raiding community
Haven't got the time to try Final Coils yet sadly
Second coil savage was a weird one-off thing where they released “second coil as we originally designed it before easing it a bit for the patch release”
However it offered no additional rewards except titles so no one really did it
I see

how much perception do I need to be able to sense potent spice?
You need the folklore tome book for your gathering class in order to see the node
i got it
It's also a timed node on a 12 hour timer. I'm not sure what the minimum stat requirement is, if any. It should appear as long as you have the folklore tome.
ohhh ok, thanks!
when do you start getting the tribe currency for ARR beast tribes?
rank 3
then you get 1 currency per quest like normal HW+ beast tribes?
anyway to turn of profanity filter?
Thank you!
that said, ARR tribe stuff is usually cheaper than HW beast tribe stuff
ARR beast tribes are annoying to rank up tho
What's this dragon mount with a blue ring around the neck
This one? This is Twintania. Bought with gold feathers from the refer-a-friend program.

wait FT can buy mogstation stuffs?
ic ty ty
Is there ever a situation/reason I would wanna use a combo action by itself instead of as part of a combo?
No
no
lol ok, then why do they even give you the ability to do so?
🤷♂️
So you can make mistakes I guess and get better
how do i turn on / off teammate skills?
Character configuration
And miscellaneous iirc
@clever roost
Recommended settings
So you can still see important things like Healer placed aoes
Or aoe dot fields
What are “others”?
thank you 😄
Non-party
Kinda duh
So with those settings
You'll see all your shit
Important party stuff like aoe fields with buffs or damage like doton or soil
Nothing from others like their aoe skills or placeables like soil
Got it. Thx
You can turn off your shit as well if you'd like
But it's important to keep party to at least Limited
So I saw someone invisible killing mobs by me. Is it a glitch when ppl go invisible or a hack?
you did see your first bots they are mostly only in arr/hw area's
Yes.
Is there a way to get Quick Launcher to work with starting from Steam now, or do you still have to go through the main launcher?
All dots/hots tick once every 3 seconds right?
The sole exception being flamethrower, which ticks every second
Ohhh duly noted ty!\
so this dot, over the whole duration would be 320 if i did the calculating correctly?
40x24 divided by 3?
Are Chondrite tools the ones that match up with AR/Ophio gear for gatherers?
Yes, 320 potency from dot.
Dont forgot the initial 260 on hit so total 580 for whole chaos thrust
Yesss! Very worthwhile granted the target lives for the duration

Even then
You do that chain to get disembowel
so what food does melee dps use mainly? im so confucious with stats
also why is Beef Stroganoff (skill speed) prices is like triple of the Critical Hit food counterparts? Skill Speed is very important?
how about reaper?
They got lists
ohhh yes
is it worth to life surge the Chaos Thrust?
no clue if it boosts the dot tho
no, you want to use it on full thrust/heavens' thrust or your 5th comb skill (wheeling/fangandclaw)
appreciate that thank you ❤️
No it dont, life surge just boost the immediate hit potency not dot so use it on the hard hitting GCD
Is there a 2 or 3 * triple triad card that has down and right at 8? Well, I know there must be, I just need to be pointed to it!
Need some help finding all Triple Triad cards on Final Fantasy XIV? ARR: Triple Triad is the website for you! Here you'll find cards location, challengeable NPCs and much more.
you are the luckiest player in the world that i have that random ass knowledge
i literally only know that bc i use lyna on my waifu and husbando deck i made a few weeks ago lmao
can all of your FC members join lottery for a single house plot for FC house? Or only one at the time?
For p3s can anyone describe what happens right before the Elmo strat?
Like during FoA i see pizza slices, dodge that. Then there is instantly black orbs and I dont even have time to split up or anything and while this is happening there is stuff being sprayed about
I'm so confused lol
Stop slower
when does the current gear that is undesynthable become desynthable?
most likely when the next tier drops
so around 6.2 for current stuff

So I dont have to worry about doing the elmo thing until after the second set of pizza slices?
They all can if they all have the money to put up
I wanted to try playing with controller on pc and i suddenly started having issues. the menu button switched to triggers, right stick wouldnt work, and the triggers were now the right stick. As soon as i plugged it in though the issues went away. I tried fixing it by recalibrating but now my camera is constantly spinning even though im not pressing anything
plugging it in also fixes the spinning. My controller works just fine wirelessly on other games and i made sure to check that. I dont really know what i can do about this issue
Hello! Is it possible to ask 3 random players to help me form an FC and then they can leave afterwards?
for the A ponze of flesh relic quest do i need the class equiped to get the items of can i do it as a different class
maybe the stick that control your camera is drifting?
I checked it in the xbox app as well as other games. Also if that was the case wouldnt it be drifting when its plugged in too?
also it appears unplugging it has messed up the controls again :(
i've been trying to fix this for hours and i have no clue whats even going on
anyone happen to know how many TT cards are in the game
need all of them for the mount yeah
might wanna go to #952326072542847016 for this, there's a few tech savvy people there that can help
Alright will do, thanks
not gonna guarantee a reply but, well its better than sitting around 🤷
yeah true
okay so
the right side of my screen is like, not in-game?
my mouse changes to the not-FF one
like from where I have my inventory and up

fixed it
what rank in GC can I sell the uhh colored gears? My GC is Order of the Twin Adder
sergeant second class to be able to do expert delivery
wew still pretty far. For the meantime, what should I do with the colored gears? It is taking a lot of space in my inventory
sell to npc
give to your retainer, etc
or if you have doh lv 30, desynthesis them
how do I unlock o3?
Wedge wears the expression of a man at his wit's end.
Wedge
Rhalgr's Reach (X: 12.67 Y: 12.43)
Cid
The Interdimensional Rift (X: 7.07 Y: 8.76)
Stormblood
Into the Deltascape
You did start this right?
It’s like Alexander, because it’s not stupid hard
hi i'm leveling leatherworking and i have to make HQ toadskin jacket for my job quest. do you have any guides to recommend ? i'm struggling with making HQ items :(
Get better gear or practice
use your skills
I already use them
You can use the practice synthesis option to experiment with rotations
Or the teamcraft website for easy crafting simulation once you input all your stats and level.
So I am pretty sure they said houses will become cheaper but can't find anything anymore. Was I dreaming? 
They’re removing the devaluation of plots with the patch
So they’ll always be at “max” price
Welp.
Why can't I use exploration mode in HW and ARR dungeons? Only in stormblood...
Game literally says. Huh? How do I interpret that.
because its not available for ARR and HW dungeons
Cause it's not available yet
its currently only available for SB and above dungeons
6.1 will add HW dungeons to explorer mode
Oh, okay!
I started not too long ago and learned about explorer mode like yesterday.
Well, thank you both!
"As a measure to prevent illicit activity, the timing of "Contact Prohibition" and "Escape Prohibition" in the Epic of Alexander (Ultimate) has been adjusted."
Does anyone know what the exploit was?
Based on the buffs in question, I’m assuming something to do with ignoring the forced movement.
(They’re the buffs that force you to move towards/away from the person with the “main” matching buff)
Ye I asked some tea clearer and the response was lol idk the buff names
since ultima unreal loot will be time-gated, would it be better to focus on it first rather than the new extreme and alliance raid after 6.1 release ?
in theory
unreal's don't really have loot loot
faux hollows mini game is for like cosmetic stuff
i see, it depends on how much i care about the cosmetic stuff
mhm
well it's a chance to do lv 50 stuff as lv 90
imma need to take a look at it :p
so it's one hell of an opportunity
At the least it’s a source of materia tokens
yes but the opportunity is less time gated
So it’s a money-maker to an extent
The exclusive mounts can also be very good sources of Gil
not really with 6.1
No new endgame content besides the ultimate
6.2 will probably see materia spike since new raid tier, which means new crafted gear to pentameld
Crafter gatherer stuff will spike
What’s the end goal of eureka I looked at a guide but I don’t get it, do you go around just killing mobs until a big mob appears?
I want to do it for the lore but I’m not sure how to get the lore
that mixed in with some pain, suffering, and RNG
Tracker & Maps: https://ffxiv-eureka.com/
This tracker is used to clock the times of death of bosses, track weather patterns, respawns and comes with a handy map for Eureka hunters out there.
Previous Eureka Videos: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=EsyViedRK4o&list=PLNONxPk8TDQqZWm2qLHb9TyeZSNjx_g4i
There is no video on Hydatos due to travel, ...
the lore is... ok
Ok thanks
it's perfectly ok to just watch the cutscenes from youtube if thats what you're really after.
No my lizard has to be in them but thanks 🦎
So PotD leveling is spamming 51-60, what is HoH leveling? Spamming 21-30? (I'm 64 atm)
yeah for hoh ppl spam floors 21-30
Thank you kind sir/madam.

do NM/Fate CD start ticking down upon fate pop or when it goes dead
If I get a house in the new location can I sell my old house for gil?
your old house wil be reimbursed
30% of it's original value
it will considered as relocation
you can't have 2 houses
afaik it will be stored into your housing storage yeah
I don't know the details tbh, maybe others who already experienced can help better
How come I have 2 horizontal lines on Wondrous tails, but it only counted one line?
2 lines of 4 stickers each?
screenshot?
I already handed it in, but it was just straight across. I don't really get the whole sticker thing, I just unlocked this.
In storage which gets a temporary +50% boost during transit
Probably means you only got 1 horizontal line
That's what I don't get. Why didn't it count the other 4?
Were they actually two different, full lines of 4? I've never heard of it bugging out
With no pics I can only conclude that you're misremembering
Also, the lines thing is about the stickers on the right page, not the duty thumbnails on the left
The stickers appear at random when you complete one of those and it's if those are lined up or not
When do the triple triad tournaments reset?
Then it's the whole sticker thing
How hard is it to get the springgan cap then? It's worth like 250k on my server, but it looks like it's just a gold ticket turn in?
is there a map for all the eureka mobs?
As for silver tix, it's technically possible to keep using the reroll at 7 stickers until you get a 2-line
https://i.imgur.com/PVO3E18.png which one do i select?
do people expect lv 90 when tfarming for tank mounts
I reckon you can solo garuda ex as lv 80?
I'm only 72
ye
zamn

i mean mouint farming is kinda endgame focused anyways
80 is good enough for the usual tank farm duties (Lakshmi EX/O3N)
But yeah, people probably expect 90
I thought it'd be a good side goal before I tackle post sb
They will expect 90s most of the time
But literally every dungeon from sb onwards counts for tank mounts
Raids count too
Hell even the trials count for the drk/war/pld high end duty ones
im looking at getting my ARR BLM relic done, ive heard a lot about "Books" being the hardest part, how long should I expect overall to finish?
about 40-60 hours
of in game time?
a decent chunk yeah
id say on hour for zenith, 3-5 for atma, 10-20 for books (fates suck), 2 for treasure hunting and materia, 4-6 for light farming, 2-10 for zeta base, another 2 hours for final light farm
hope you got a decent chunk of gil and tomes at the ready
If i am in eureka as a reaper eg but i want the gear for ninja, do i have to be on ninja to get proton crystals
nope
also does the gear make a difference in eureka?
stuff like the osode and verimillion cloak do, but most stuff doesnt
just make sure you have 300 ilvl up for all your gears
ah okay then ill do it passively with my whm hw relic
and get gear that gives you elemental bonus
yeah
correct
aah gotcha
kirins osode of maiming is what you'd want, its a MASSIVE upgrade
I'm trying the elemntal map but the mobs aren't in thee location that they are supposed ot be
and can be bought before you even step in there
might i be doing something wrong?
weather and time of day matter
also try to get used to using ET (Eorzea Time)
ah
hey, is the kettle progress shared between pagos and pyros
nope
eureka is here to waste you time
now i have none ?
and by god it'll do it
ok good i thought i wasted them on the pyros one
ye, fair skies means no sprites or ashkin
make sure to change it up to what is in the instance
I'm in Anemos atm
is that one accurate? 🤔
but it's not showing on the map any of th emobs
also there's no ashkin+spirit mobs ._.
ashkin are undeads
so that site is shiet?
who appears at night time
spirits depends on the weather
I have no idea, I don't use that one
spirit and ashkin won't be that simple you need to wait for specific time
both sprite and ashkin have specific requirements for spawn
ashkin only spawn at night
and sprites only spawn during certain weather conditions
night time is 18:00 - 6:00
But i'm not asking for sprites or ashkin lmao
so once you are in this ET window, you try to complete ashkin as much as possible
I want to find the >2 level mobs so i can farm challenge log
oh, then why you mark sprites and ashkin on your screenshot?
the screenshot you posted has sprites and ashkin flagged
I misunderstood lol
so for the pod, do I need to just complete the last nier raid?
yes
correct
no? ._.
never asked for the sprites lmao
just mark the one you need, not all of them
??
And have probably a few hundred thousand mgp
makes sense, thanks
Yoshi p did say it would be easy but expect some mgp
huh weird, I don't understand that site ._.
If you're looking for challenge logs, just flag monsters only
Nvm it was bugge
ah I get it
reloaded the site nad it works now
yeah mark the monster and elemental
what is max level in eureka?
60 afaik
60, at the end of Hydatos
we don't know, but probably prioritise people who trying to unlock things
Why does it pick Copperbell Mines
if someone has queued for it
at least i thought
no
now? idk
like if you're in a full premade, then it just randomly throws you at a dungeon
Anemos goes up to elemental level 20, Pagos to 35, Pyros 50, Hydatos 60
Doubt a lvl 70+ is queueing for Copperbell
there's an option to limit within like 5 levels of the lowest
but ultimately, roulettes are "does this dungeon need more warm bodies for it? yes put them in there. if not, random ass dungeon"
yeah tick that one if you don't want something like sastasha
a kinda silly question: What happens to your glams if you go from Male->Female? Is there a way to trade them to the female counterpart? (Like Mun'Gaek) or you just can't use it anymore?
can't use it yeah
Doing low level dungeons is bad enough, doing low level dungeons with 0 aoe is painful
D:
Only holiday event rewards can be exchanged for the other gender's counterpart. Otherwise you're SOL.
Mun'gaek you can't exchange
yeah if you are premade don't forget to tick that option, haha
roulette purpose is to help people get their queue done, and people who are helping just get bonus from it
ahhhh ic ic. Now Im hesitant to change genders xD but thanks! 🙂
Yeah just had a terrible tank yesterday and i was wondering
Thanks
They are removing a bunch more gender restrictions in the next patch
One sec
doesnt include any of the mogstation items however
yea, it's a shame spending like 15-18 usd on the glam and not being able to use them >_<

hi I'm kind of new to housing
will I need to have Heavensward finished to lottery a home in Ishgard? Or do I just need Ishgard unlocked
you need to have completed heavensward up to the quest "Litany of Peace" to be able to participate in the lottery for empyrean housing
oh, so it's actually you need Heavensward finished + some of the post patch content
yes
ok I see thanks
sorry one more questions since I'm like around level 55 rn doing account planning
I plan on having 1 PvE main where I will b leveling multiple classes
I want a second character for RPing and just attending social events etc. and I'd like it to be a different race and look closer to myself right
alts share no progress
are there any big disadvantages to having an alt
yeah I'm thinking of buying story + level boost not sure
my goals for the RPing alt would just have it like maybe have 1-2 classes playable
u think that'd be a lot of work?
main thing to keep in mind is you basically have to do/unlock everything on the alt
so 2x MSQ for anything I don't buy a boost for
Mogstation stuff is account wide right?
I see
which is pretty much only a select few mounts
o rip yeah I'm looking rn it looks like emotes aren't shared
that's... unfortunate
do you guys have alts? If so what do you do with them
playing with friends on different datacenters or for raiding because of the weekly loot lockouts
not really, since maintaining alts is a lot of work
I see ty for the help guys
I have included a sideways picture of my cat in the aww channel as thanks
You can play all the jobs on one character so no one really bothers
Do riding maps just increase your speed in an area?
yeah just ground speed
people usually just skip it since it doesn't increase flying speed
Ah ok thanks
like do all the blue quests and the area, spam compass when you are doing MSQ... then that riding map will be irrelevant
How do I get head graze to work with dancer??
Like there are times that I've tried to interrupt an aoe from trash mobs but it does nothing
!faq interrup
!faq interrupt
Memoria
None are listed as preferred
ty
is there any way in-game to see when daily reset happens?
Look at the beast tribe reset timer in timers
only works if you've used up all your beast tribe allowances
it is a bit stupid that there's no easy indicator of daily reset ingame
!daily
thank you!
Which quest in ShB do I need to finish to lose my sprout tag?
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 Death Unto Dawn, not 'Shadowbringers'. Makes sense I suppose
Which Endwalker zone do you think is the most efficient to do fates in? Looking for a place where travel time around the zone is the shortest while flying.
with flying they should be about the same so best to check if a party is up in any ew zone/instance to do fates
Technically: Yes
regarding a NPC in zone 5 EW, it's not possible to have eyes like ||venat|| without mods, is it?
How do glamour plates work with jobs that share gear? E.g. if my SMN and RDM gearsets share a bunch of the same base pieces, and I have a glamour plate for each job, can I swap between them without spending additional prisms each time?
under your gearset list, theres an option to bind a glam plate to a gearset if u right clic
if you are using artifact gear as glamor of one of the class
Using plates don't cost prisms at all
the second class will have a cross on their piece and will use the default look instead
anyone know if ffxiv is down in PS network?
someone in my FC is curently online, He's playing on PS5
online on ps4 atm
Sounds like a yank problem
wait, you guys saying PS player connect to sony first then datacenter, would not that can cause delay?
I’m trying to open the game but screen just goes to “connecting to PlayStation network” and nothing is happening??
hmm
im eu
can u open/play another game?
On primal?
you could restart your console and/or your internet connection
Are you able to connect to PSN without loading FF14? Eg, load friends list and store and such?
Could be anythibg
yes
yeah

how to you check your recruit a friend status and to see if anyone has used my code?
What does the tank IV and V give you?
You get in game mail
I assume you mean the achievements, titles
Is not bringing/using Essences in Delubrum Reginae and other Bozjan raids a reportable offence? What could have been an easy 20-30 min run is taking 50-60 now :C
(undersized 8 man btw)
It should be but sadly isnt
is there a certain point at which it makes sense to try out blue mage? Can I still do it if i just reached level 50 or should i wait till i'm further in the game?
It should... this is legitmately griefing. But then again it's S.E fault for letting people enter w/o essence to begin with
whenever you want
Do it whenever
ok and can someone point me to a good blue mage guide? it seems a bit different from the other classes
!faq bluguide
and I've read that you can join other blue mages for hunting skills. Where do I find other blue mages to skill up with?
Pf
As long as you sync duties you're guaranteed to learn spells from duties, party comp doesn't matter
like daily roullete? but I won't be able to help the team if I go in as a blue mage with no skills, right?
Get some overworld spells first
If I blacklist, say the 5 people that aren't using essences. That means I won't get matched/they won't see my PF ever again right?
Blu can’t do roulettes
are there certain skills I should try to get first. Let me know if i'm asking questions that are already answered in the guides. I'll slowly work my way through them
- Spell learning guide
Is Purple Scrip Crafting Gear better than HQ level 90 Crafting gear?
With melds, HQ crafted gear is better for crafters and gatherers
Ahh ok, so I would need melds. So its worth buying/making HQ gear then
Can anyone tell me what the mechanism is for getting upgraded submersible components? Are they some directly-built thing in the workshop you have to unlock, or do they somehow get upgraded from the normal versions?
It's up to you and how much you want to get in to endgame crafting. Some people settle for scrip gear because it's easy.
it's not better by a much
so if I understand correctly, blue mage can pretty much play any role?
ish

Not until you hit lvl 60
it's not like they'll have a ton of skills for tanking and healing
but they have a few focused on that
!action aetherical mimicry
Mirror the aetherial properties of your target, granting yourself a beneficial effect corresponding with the target's role.
If target is a tank, grants Aetherial Mimicry: Tank, increasing your defense and augmenting certain blue magic spells.
If target is a DPS, grants Aetherial Mimicry: DPS, increasing critical hit rate and direct hit rate by 20%, as well as augmenting certain blue magic spells.
If target is a healer, grants Aetherial Mimicry: Healer, increasing healing magic potency by 20% and augmenting certain blue magic spells.
Cannot be cast on self. Effect ends upon reuse.
A useful little ability originating with the ghrah, Aetherial Mimicry allows the mage to match his aetherial wavelength to that of another person, granting the same benefits as their hard-won combat training.
Ghrah Luminary Adds / Pharos Sirius (Hard)
Type: Magic
Aspect: None
Rank: 4
well they have invul based on MP, and bad breath is like reprisal 👀
This makes you “change roles” for real
I assume this is broken? lol
Melds?
isn't aesthete indeed better if it's pentamelded?
It only has a +6 CP meld
I have no idea 😹
So the 6.1 Entry sub can have up to 8 characters per world? So is there a point of Normal sub?
1 character per world
Someone didn’t read the Patch notes
8 is standard
ow it changed?
Auto gearing is not always 100% accurate, its fine to get the stuff with highest ilvl, but comparing items with the same or close ilvl is not one of its strengths
Gotcha, ok thanks
I think they are going to get rid of Entry vs Standard? Making it into one selection?
Pretty sure you still won’t be able to have more than 8 total characters on entry
Yeah I doubt that, they would’ve just mentioned that if that’s what was gonna happen
So the only difference would be the 8 characters total cap vs 40 then?
yeah
Sorry, a quick question about advanced melding. If I get lets say 3 materia in an item and attempt for the 4th. If it fails is there EVER a chance the other 3 break too?
You can't break materia that's already slotted, except when you attempt to extract it. Adding more won't affect them.
from previous expansions, do we know how many sacks of nuts would be needed for the augmented radiant upgrade material?
3k for left side, 2k right side
Ok great, thank you
i think the upgrade mats are hangin out in eulmore if you wanna check out the SHB ones
For glam usage, should I just stop my relic weapon when it hits ilvl515? (i think it's the final look)
It’s not
535 is final look
It's the final appearance/skin but it gets particle effects
you can buy the 515 replica if you finished till 535
Also "should I" is subjective, it's glam, do what you want.
what're the boss mechanics in the 5 headed dragon section of WoD
Ohhh okay thank you
for DPS, if you see blue mark on top of you, get into as many people close to you
if there's a yellow swirl, get away from that guy or run away from the crowd
and don't stand in front of the mob of course.. cause it cleaves
that's pretty much it I guess..

cleaves?
Don’t stand in bad
also a tank what's the best way to keep boss away from the team? Just got told off for it
oh you are a tank
Tank stance obviously
just don't move the boss around and face it away from the group
right but like position wise
got it
pull it to and facing the wall gives ppl more room to dodge
any spot that doesn't make caster have to waste 2-3 gcd in the beginning
cause you pull it too far behind
mid would be perfect
if i still have old hunt bills from like yesterday for example, can i complete them and then grab a new set from the billboard for today?
Yes
what time is the maintenance for 6.1 is actually starting on 11th of june🤔
3am PST
check #lodestone-news-na for more info
so when yoshi p go over the patch notes 👍
im... not sure when that is gonna be
they're prolly have more info on it later
(unless im stupid and its already there)
The stream placeholder was already put on on YT apparently
Can also do !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
Same time as the live letter
wait 6.1 dropped already???
No
nice
guys need help, how can i get tribe quests for DoH and DoL?
What lvl
Lieutenant Scarlet's feathers seem ruffled by some grave news out of the Twelveswood.
Scarlet
Gridania (X: 9.97 Y: 11.48)
Sezul Totoloc
North Shroud (X: 24.49 Y: 23.48)
In Pursuit of the Past
Reaching for Cloud Nine
This is pre-50
i am currently on heavensward
can i even do those with a job that's not lvl 50 yet?
No, I’m just letting you know before hand. Because you likely would never have unlocked it
You did talk to her right
specify her?
You know Scarlet, the npc it said gives the quest. Right there in the faq
yup i have tried that
i also checked my completed quests and current quests to make sure
ah
i found it in completed quests
i guess it's case sensitive
So they’re in the north shroud if you forgot
yup i'm gonna go there rn thanks
QQ In terms of unlinking a PSN account with this form: https://support.na.square-enix.com/spform.php?id=5382&la=1&h=5e8d7962
When they say that the Service account will be permanently disabled whilst they unlink it do they mean:
- I won't be able to use my Square Enix account on PS4/PS5 ?
- I won't be able to use my Square Enix account period ? (On both Windows and Consoles)
- I won't be able to use my PSN ? (Unlikely but figured it's worth asking)
Context: I'm trying to re-link my psn to an active one. I primarily play on windows but want to be able to switch if I want to do something more casual
#2, They will disable the SE account that you are unlinking from I believe since it will no longer have the PS versions of the game registered. If you're re-linking to another SE account, they expect you to be using that one instead of the old one.
Hold on, maybe I'm misunderstanding. Are you wanting to switch PSN accounts and keep your SE account? Or switch SE accounts and keep your PSN account?
Hmm so Service account refers to the square enix account then ? It looked like it was referring to the PSN account with this line.
While you can normally have up to eight service accounts on a Square Enix ID
Though probably better not to risk it and disable it when i'm on a break or something
the former
switch PSN accounts and keep my SE account
It's linked to my old PS3 PSN account
and want to link it to my current active one
And you have the Windows versions already on the SE account?
Then they will only remove the PS registration from your SE account. Not disable it entirely.
Ahkk meaning I wouldn't be able to play/log on on PSN at all for that period
For FFXIV*
Right, you will have to wait until you're able to re-link to the new PSN account that has FF14
Would any of the colourblind settings help differentiate the markers from the ground at all for P3S? Asking for a friend.
Possibly, but you might be better off picking up a shader mod if you're on PC.
Excellent idea, I know they play mostly on PS4 but I could suggest it
If they're on PS4 then mods won't help.
They play on both
But on PC, most of the shaders should have options that will help increase the contrast between "floor" and "don't stand here"
It's worth looking into. Thanks a bunch!
is having to progress through all weapon stages in anemos before doing pagos the only 'gotcha' moment of eureka? i doubt i will have enough mats to finish pagos weapon before moving on
Unless you want the glowing armor later on, you'll also need the "Other" mat for the final step of the weapons
not what i'm worried about, until you finish all anemos weapon stages you are literally wasting time not getting any progress in pagos weapon
because you dont get the kettle before that
is there more stuff like that later?
You're not really wasting time since you need to finish the anemos weapon either way.

There IS another kettle in pyros, but that's purely for stats so you can ignore it
So unless you want the armor, all you'll need is the final boss material to progress.
(Plus all the crystals leading up to it)
nope
you get the pyros kettle relatively early
so you can get to farming the fancy pyros crystals as you progress the neato story
Could someone please remind me when will DC visit be available?
6.18
Do we know when that happens?
probably july
Is housing live this tues for new plots or is that 6.2?
Preliminary Patch notes are in #lodestone-news-na
is there any way to look directly up in this game
With your avatar? no.
With your camera... also no, because there's ground-collision rules for the camera.
You can get pretty close though.
how do i find the odin fate
you walk around until you find it
You wait for the "Tension" weather to appear in the Shroud zones, then start checking around the spawn points in each zone until you find it or someone else shouts the coordinates.
Stupid question (maybe) - Is there an addon or something that makes it easy to input coordinates and navigate to the destination? Or do people just follow the numbers below the map?
yes there is in xivlauncher
xivlauncher?
You can place a flag at the coordinates on your map (which will make an arrow appear on your minimap).
!faq altlauncher
to place a flag you have to know the coords tho
^ it's this. A third party launcher which also has addon support.
Thanks so much you guys!
To place a flag you .... right click on the map?
To ping a flag to your active chat you Ctrl+right click?
You don't need to know them lol, the chat-flag will do that for you.
the point is that they want to input coords so it puts a marker on the map
placing a flag is the reverse of that
im planning to tf my character, but there's nothing when i select the drop down menu in step 2. Any idea?
top first
step 1 comes before step 2 :P
still nothing, ofc i did that 😄
Have you selected your destination and clicked confirm?
ah... my smooth brain

It has an exp limit. You hit that limit before the time was up
How do i get a 2 seat mount fast? friend is new, wnated to take him for a ride
Buy one on the item store
Otherwise, there are two 2-seater mounts from RAF if you recruited your friend.
you can also get multiseat seat mounts for free provided you're cool with clearing e4s
or DR savage
Im afraid im not at E4S nor know what DR is yet, thank you i'll look into it
Shb raid and Bozja
Spend cash lol
Yeah there's no easy multiseaters available
Yes
"easiest" I can think of is all ShB extremes
@remote lintel 50 for single target, 60 for aoe
am I blind or are none of the class changes listed in the newly released patch notes? <<
@remote lintel Ummm I use security token for login, does FFXIV Launcher 3rd party work with that?
They aren't the full patch notes. We don't get the complete notes until next week.
Yes.
SE decided to stop adding job changes to prelims because people doomsday
Is it a pain to setup or do you just enter the code like in normal launcher?
On mine, I have auto login, and it pops up a box.. yea like that
Cool @strange coral Thanks!
General approach is anything above 50 and unbalanced is fine but if you're like 30 ish seconds from manafic/embolden can bank a little harder for longer melee combo burst sequence
icee
what do i do with a triple triad card if i already own it?
alright

What's the different between your regular S mark and SS mark? Other than the obvious difference in spawning
SS marks are special, rare and more difficult stat-wise and some have extra mechs
It's not a vast difference but the extra S is there for a reason
did they remove the crystal that lets you teleport to friends in recruit a friend
mine is just gone now
can you world hop in any other aetherytes besides the 3 starting cities
only the starters
Reward-wise and achievement-wise? Same rewards as regular S marks?
No
they give more sacks
reprise used to be used to align your ogcds and for movement but endwalker introduced movement tools and changed mana numbers
so rn it's hot garbage and you shouldn't use it
You use it to unlock the teleport function on your friends list. The item disappears but the function remains.
yeah reprise and enchanted reprise are avoided for the most part
Why is there a method to pay with Crysta if its 1$=1crysta, the reason ?
My friend is in The Roost. How do I get there? Is that in a main city?
can you still get scales and the mount from unsynced great hunt ex
yes
It works the same as unsyncing other EXs
Crysta has more payment options available
that's just hte name of hte Inn in gridania
odd mine is gone I've had it for like 3 years and now poof
what makes more sense, pf for unsynced or duty finder
I just want the mount
Obviously Unsync, nobody uses duty finder for EXs
Yea, they have to be a sprout still
thats how it works now aww man my friends are all few and old ;-;
that's how it always worked i'm pretty sure😅
unsync is the easiest way
duty finder is just doing the content at relative highest difficulty
I know mount exchanging for totems typically release after 2 patch cycles, but are they major patches or submajor patches? when will we likely be seeing EX1/EX2 mount exchange released?
Why can i not meld my crafting gear with a +4cp materia when there is 4 cp space on the item?
6.2
sadge, ty!
!item wolf earrings
ilvl
ah thx
if I toss this can I get it from a calamity salvage?
nope
How do I transfer my character to another world temporarily:?
you have to go to ul'dah, limsa or gridania and then interact with the big aetheryte
the option should be near the bottom
Named world visit
I see. Thanks
You can, yes.
Individually, yes, but a person who has cleared a floor can pull other people into the next floor.
they also lose their loot for previous floors for the week if they enter the instance
Yes if one person has gone further, they can drag the rest. Unfortunately that means forfeiting drops for the floor that was skipped.
Like, that person should be the party lead. Them simply being in the party is not sufficient.

did they announce what time maint begins?
Does anyone here play on PC but uses a controller? When you play controller do you have your HUD set up in keyboard and mouse or controller setting?
Why though?
because you can't hit PC hotbar buttons on controller?
you need a cross hotbar for that
Because you’re using a controller
Yteah but I can still use my crosshotbar on keyboard mouse
Does your gear have any effect in Bojza ? Like let's say my whole gear is broken, would that affect me ?
I was just wondering if anyone else does this :/?
how would you hit cross hotbar buttons on a keyboard
You would just show your hotcrossbar then it works still ?
It doesn’t
do you just click them or what
what do you have them keybound to
I just have it set up the exact same way as a controller
same if i'm in keyboard mode but want to type while moving i use my controllers thumbstick
what
are you saying youre using a controller on pc or that youre using keyboard keybinds on the cross hotbar
no
no
What creatures in the diadem drop electrum ore?
i'm saying they work at the same time
