Expert Roulette is probably best for that, because you're not losing out on XP for alt jobs, but if that's not a concern of yours then there's no need to bother. Crystal Conflict is also good - 20 of the blue ones and 10 of the red ones per match.
what about treasure maps?
how do i replay the event?
Are you asking about the fate or the give egg cutscenes
Where the hecky does one put job-specific gear? I've got like six or seven different sets of 60/70/80/90 job specific gear cluttering my armory chest and really don't want to get rid of them for hoarder reasons
Artifact gear! That's what they're called.
Most of it you can get rid of get back from vendors if you want it later. Otherwise, retainers, glam dresser, chocobo bag. A few can go in the armoire.
50/70 can be repurchased from calamity salvager
tho 50 can go into the armoire, unless you augmented it
80 can be rebought from grenoldt in the tempest, 90 from the npc in old sharlayan
only one that'd i would keep since its a bit more tedious to reget is 60, though on the other hand i'd probably just get the new pvp gear that is same model but updated textures instead
since its better quality textures
so dumping is alright because the spots you can get them back from are fairly easy to access
cool
yar
I just purchased Endwalker, do i have to download it or something because im trying to do the samurai class quest
yes
Fully close the launcher
You’ll need to relaunch the game if you registered it while online.
And open it again after registering the code you're given
Alright thanks I'll try that out
anyone know what the telescope housing item is called and where to get it?
The indoors version is the Astroscope. The outdoors version is the Personal Astroscope.
thanks!
They're both ARR-level craftable items.
nice, thank you
the fate
Was wondering if anyone might be able to help me with a macro question. I just have this set up so people know I'm rezzing them, but i usually target the enemy very quickly afterwards and then it'll say I'm rezzing the enemy. Is there any way to stop this other than just slowing down? Also, is there a way to make it so the text doesn't print if the cast doesn't go off?
I don't believe there's a way to fix the re-targeting issue without deleting the /wait - it runs Verraise, waits one second, and then says you've raised whoever you're targeting.
the syntax is also wrong
it's not /wait 1
it's /ac Verraise <wait.1>
you should also move the /micon Verraise to the bottom of the macro
and there's also no reason to only repeat the /ac Verraise 5 times as opposed to the full 15 lines
the purpose of the <wait.1> is so you don't spam chat if you spam the button
if you aren't going to spam the button then just removing the <wait.1> will get your target right every time
there's a miniscule use, especially if your healers are blind
the sound effect in chat can help
not that raise macros are recommended at all
but they aren't wholly useless
Hey! I'm Lv. 51 Botanist, using Truth of Forests I just found my first Unspoiled Node, in which the items are greyed out, so I can't harvest them. I'm not sure what that means and can't find anything online about it. What does this mean? Thank you!
they are absolutely suboptimal though
they are. at that point it's best to make a text macro that just prints that in the chat w/o including raise in it
need to unlock collectables
yes, it'd absolutely be better to just use a second button for a chat macro
You're simply making your raise less responsive and more likely to not go off, in exchange for no significant gain
Thank you so much!

Morgayne is curious whether a talented individual like yourself is familiar with the latest fad.

Thank you, thank you! Super appreciate the help!
I don't have the spare button space, and I really hate it when people just hammer the "Raising <t> uwu cutesy comment goes here!" button so it goes off five times, so I don't have any raise indicators. It's not usually a problem.
Should be the right one I think, the wiki mentions this quest too
If I'm doing anything where the tolerances are that tight, I'm in VC with the rest of the group and can just say "I'm getting Jimmy".
Oh its correct lmao
Thank you so much for helping me with my issue launching the game. Now I have a less pressing but still annoying issue. Every so often this error message comes up in game: "One or more of your client settings files are set to “Read Only,” which prevented your configuration settings and hotbars from being saved.
Please check your settings and try again." Any idea on how to fix this? Thanks!
also you can use raise macros to farm commends in content where people die a lot
like when people were farming edens for their ShB relic
hmm something is wrong with the authorization of the client on your windows 
can running game as admin override that permission?
If you have antivirus software installed, you might need to whitelist the FF14 folder in "Documents\My Games." Antivirus sometimes locks down files during scans.
yeah antivirus could be too
can we transfer off oce and back to it to get road to 80 again?
This is probably due to OneDrive.
wasnt road to 80 only for created char not transfer?
You just go to where it spawns in central shroud
If your My Documents folder is a OneDrive folder, then it will restrict access to those files periodically to cloud backup the folder. This will give you that error message when FFXIV tries to periodically save any local settings/changes there
(including any time your inventory contents change or are rearranged)
how do i message someone in a restricted area?
you can't
fc chat or linkshell is the only wae
not until they get out of said restricted area
Solution would be to turn off OneDrive for your Documents folder on Windows. @light bronze
What tends to be happening here is a person starts casting, but repeatedly cancels because they started rezzing right when they needed to move.
RDM never hardcasts raise.
But what can often happen is pressing the button too early, doesn't queue, therefore spell doesn't go off but text still does
Red Mage is their class, yes, but the comment about hating repeated rez pings was not class-specific =)
Is there a target macro or a way to target enemies In order they appear in pvp. It's getting really frustrating playing on controller and trying to switch targets
On the list
Thanks
can i transfer off and back to oce to get road to 80 again?
no
I don’t see specific wording not allowing it from the HWT page
But that’s on you to judge if you want to waste 18 dollars like that
I tried that, but it still came up. 😕
any reccos on crafter to lvl first, have miner at 80 and working on botanist
i know i should lvl all
i mean id gladly pay $18 to get another 3 months of the buff but id like some confirmation before doing it lol
So the first one literally doesn’t matter then
BSM/GSM/LTW/WVR make the bulk of crafting gear to gear yourself up
guess ill do WVR first then
another question what is the use of the miner and botanist in terms of money besides maps
gathering materials for crafters
Get materials, sell them.
Self-sufficency, and some materials can sell for decent money
Or turn them into the really expensive fun stuff yourself, if you level crafter too.
Hello guys
Tell me guys , are the world map of the game are big ? Am new in game and want to know if we have a lot of maps ? Seconde question : are thé pvp fun to play and actif people ? Thanks for your response
I see the self sufficiency part
i was having trouble figuring out where botanist fits for crafters besides alchemy
btw will beast tribe quests for gatherers and crafters start at lvl 80 for ew?
I mean, the playable zones are all in the northern hemisphere of the planet, but idk what you mean by "lots of maps"
There’s multiple zones some maps are bigger than others,
We just had a PvP update so yeah people are playing it
pvp is very active
Too much zoned , too much elemental maps (fire , ice , desert maps etc ..)
ARR has like 17 maps and each expansion after add 6 more that each is twice bigger (so like 12)
I don’t like when we have only 2 zones in mmo
We don’t do that? So you have no problem
well HW onwards each has 6 zones/maps
Fuck we got a ww1 zone
12 maps in all ? Or 12 big city and others small zones ?
Yes ?
6 zones 2 cities each for expansions
Besides a few exceptions, The base game zones are all pretty small due to budget constraints when creating the base game
So the expansion zones for the most part are very massive
ARR was a huge gamble
How much différents zones ?
So there’s 17 maps in arr, and 4 expacs with at least 6 massive zones and 2 cities per
And that’s not counting the extra areas like the diadem, eureka, and bozja
So I think that’s what 60 maps?
This is the Sea of Clouds, a zone from Heavensward the first expansion
I see so in conclusion , the world map are big and not smaller ?
No world map
Obviously
You’ve seen the areas around your city haven’t you?
And how much time@you play the game guys ?
Too much
I'm at 859 hours
That’s a subjective answer
or the game is so pleasant that you don't get bored even with several years of games?
the game gets boring when you run out of stuff you wanna do, and that depends on person to person
my friend raid logs versus me doing stuff every day
How long does it take you to finish everything you want to-do
I take small breaks here and there with other games
But I’ve kept a constant subscription since the game came out on PS4
The devs literally tell us to take breaks
Which was like patch 2.2
yeah. i recently started playing a lot again because of pvp, but since i finished most of that i only ever log on to do dailies they play other games
sometimes ocean fish
Really ? Why
To avoid burnout
well, it's both good advice and a marketting tactic to avoid burnout and give the devs more rep for caring about player time (which they do)
I’m nearing 3k hours and still got fun stuff to do
Content doesn't go anywhere
And what about the pvp ?
It just got revamped for the better
Just got updated
pvp content has the battle pass but the content inside the pass will eventually return
And are the 90 lvl are the max or game will go more ?
More
Pvp is very… side content tho
Expansions are every 2 years
90 for the next year and a half or so, game will go more when the next expac comes out
plenty of time to catch up
EndWalker is not the final expansion, and anyone that says otherwise is wrong
Date of enfwalker ?
December 3rd
Last year
December 3rd for pre, December 7th for official
Okkkk . 2021?
yes
So next extension in 2023
5 major patches post expac and 4 months apart
And are the pvp actif ? Fun to play ? What they changed recently about the patch ?
Everything
pvp is very active, and was recently overhauled so people are hype
Explain me ?
reception is very good compared to before
classes got new kits, we got a new gamemode, all basic skills changed
it's a lot to go into, just know it's new and fun to most people
Everyone has their own ultimate

People told me that pvp not the strong point of the game and not very playable
that's the old pvp, i would agree with them if you asked like 3 weeks ago
That was 1 month ago
yeah
Scorps, I don’t even think you can do PvP yet.
but it's new and i honestly think it's quite fun so try when you get the chance
New patch was 2 weeks ago
The patch was only 2 weeks ago
We have 1 vs 1? 2 vs 2? Etc ?…
5v5
5v5 payload
And 24v24v24 mass arena with various objectives
I see
1v1 exists as a dueling square in the PVP vendor area
Duels are extremely niche and can only be done in a single area
There's also Rival Wings, a MOBA-like mode, but that's currently on hold while they change it to fit the new balance.
FFXIV pvp is very casual
There’s achievements that track kills
outside of achievements but those cap out if you finish them
Have we black zone or red zones maps ?
Yep
Really?
Yes
I mean map where all players can attack all (without the pvp arena)
No
No
Nope
No
It’s more a directe pvp maps
Open world pvp isn't a thing
Open world PvP is garbage and not in ff14
i wish sometimes
this isn't Dark Age of Camelot
Ahahahha
Or WoW
Hey Im new to the game and I bought the DLC on steam but now it wont let me log in even when I played without the dlc through steam so now im confused

Poorly
You don’t have the base game do you?
Wards with 60 plots for houses
I should?
It's limited housing

Before purchasing, you may wish to try out the game with the Free Trial, which allows you to experience the game up to level 60 with no limitations on playtime, albeit with some social and trade-related restrictions. See !faq freetrial for info.
Please be aware that FFXIV is a subscription-based game, and after purchasing the game you must pay for each month of play. There is no way to return to being a Free Trial player after you have registered a purchased copy of the game to your account; you must pay to log in and continue playing.
PC users: make sure to buy the game on your preferred store (Steam vs. Square Enix Store). Purchasing the game on Steam locks you into using Steam for all future expansion purchases, and similarly purchasing it via Square Enix Store or any other non-Steam retailer locks you out of ever using Steam to play FFXIV. After your game code has been registered to your FFXIV account, this decision can never be changed.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Starter Edition:
AKA the ''base game.'' Gives access to A Realm Reborn and Heavensward. This is the same content that you can play during the Free Trial, but with the Free Trial restrictions on social interactions, trading, PvP etc. lifted. Comes with 30 days of subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV: Endwalker:
Gives access to Stormblood, Shadowbringers, and the latest expansion, Endwalker. Does not include any bonus subscription time.
FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition:
Combines all of the above into a single purchase (including the 30 days of subscription time).
You can't use dlc for a game you don't own
yeah, you need the base game to play and upgrade to full, then the dlc for everything else
Free trial ≠ the base game
though realistically it's 5 bucks for the base game / upgrade, and the 15 bucks for your first month of sub
Housing are fun ?
what does it mean to rank up fates?
housing's fun if you like decorating and want a spot to hang out
Yeah I assume my sub ran out by now but it doesnt give me an option to renew through steam
Very much so, esp if you enjoy RP
i don't really go WOO HOO HOUSE every time i enter my own but it's a nice side feature
Because you don’t renew on steam, you use mogstation
Get gold rank on shadowbringers/endwalker fates to rank up shared fate system for that zone
You need 66 gold ranks to max out a zone
And there’s 6 zones, so 396
Okay I did that thought and now when I log in through the steam it hits me with the "This service account does not have a valid final fantasy XIV license for the platform or your subscription has expired."
It also shows me that I have a sub active and it expires on the 25th of may
Register it
Yeah?
you have to do all unique ones or can you just do whatever you see? Is there something through 66 gold ranks or is it just a completionist cheevo?
Trusts is shadowbringers onwards
Any fate
It says account type standard sub standard end date may 25th 2022
It ranks up the bicolour gem stores
Standard, not standard (steam)
You ain’t a steam account bud, and now you’re down 40 bucks
The trust menu specifically is for the avatar version of trusts where you level them
Which is unlocked after finishing Base shadowbringers
Obviously
About a normal raid roulettes worth
so they're more akin to alter egos or automatons?
yeah it's quite bad, roulette's the only thing worth it
yeah, they're basically spirits you conjure (not entirely accurate lorewise)
Well I mean with the bonus
Frontline Without bonus equals raid With bonus
is there a way to swap jobs in CC like with frontlines to get exp on other jobs
no, CC you're locked in
i keep getting this lately and cant play https://i.imgur.com/mvVDtHo.png
do you have a square enix account?
no i bought it through steam
You need a se account
and i tried on the mogstore and that didnt help either
yeah im having trouble making it a se account
Show what you’re having trouble with and we’ll help, should be pretty simple tho
Is SMN has high burst? (Not DPS). When doing opening rotations it seem doing some crazy damage. Or are all other jobs the same way?
so i keep getting that previous screenshot
It frontloads abit yes
Burst and buff alignment is, in general, a big thing for all jobs though yes
1200 + 600 from Akh morn and death flare, ontop of the potency from Astral flare and wyrmwaves going on
that's kinda the basic concept of optimisation
Being buffed by raid buffs naturally
If that other account isn’t also steam it can’t work
Official launcher and steam don’t mix
that account erza zontonia i started/bought on steam 2 years ago
Did you link with steam
you need to make a square enix account and then link your square enix account with your steam account
Yes. With demi Bahamut out, in the beginning, I feel like God.
i tried but it doesnt let me @sand bluff
when i click use this service account it sends me to home page
i try to buy subscription
account is not linked
so am i stuck in a bugged loop or something
you should definitely contact support yes
guess i will do that tommorow since its late here couldnt sleep was hoping to play some of this then sleep
but i guess i cant
Best way to make some Gil?
now i changed my password to be able to at least login on the site and i guess they have maintanance atm ?
I can get the refund on it ig but still now my steam launcher defaults to that account and doesn't let me use the steam account I have so do I get the other launcher or is there a way to change it?
New player with one question right now. Probably a dumb one, but is melee dps viable?
!faq meta
Anyone know if a dsr world first happened yet?
Seeing how nobody has celebrated, no
Oh another question, I recently bought the game and finally got last the registration part, but I keep running into errors when installing patch files? Any way around this?
https://i.imgur.com/pBCaXEJ.png i got this far now
but if i reboot and start again im back at where i started
Yea, I couldn’t get past registering for hours. Are you possibly using a vpn?
no vpn
rebooted like they told me for third time now and yep
back to here
im about to give up trying since i just dont get this
Hello
I'm on the quest the hole truth for mining. and i'm suppose to mine admantite but when I use lay of the land it says no mineral deposits located. how do i find the admantite for the quest?
!item Adamantite ore
Needs to be noon/midnight eorzea time
oh okay thank you! i have two hours eorzean time then till they spawn
Does the self destruct rez method work for the kugana lamppost Vista still?
yes
Thank you
NA data centers are all at the same physical location? Aether, primal, crystal should have no real ping differences between them?
Thank you.
i need the tiniest bit of EXP to hit a level
all my roulettes are done
what else is there
level 79, are there crystarium hunts i can do or something
queue for 79 dungeon taking too long

what job?
Daily hunt marks?
samurai but why does that matter 
Frontlines? 
crystarium has the hunt marks for 80 yeah?
yes
Yeah, the rookery teleport
Go farm some fates 👀
is there a way to do like an /em command without your name showing up?
you mean as "X is dancing", "X is smiling" messages?
yeah you can hide it by addng "motion" on the end of command. so /smile motion, /dance motion
or you could open the emotes menu and bottom right untick the "display log messages" to toggle it of permanently till you toggle it back
more like this
ahh... i have no clue about that
you cant afaik
bummer
Can you rename your retainer?
yes with retainer fantasia iirc
Cool. Thank you.
I'm trying to find the setting where you can shortcut macros to your joysticks, does anyone know where that setting is by chance?
It would be in the gamepad settings in system configuration
The button configuration one
I'm a little confused on what the PVP team board does. Does this mean you can do CC matches with friends against other friends? like in a party?
i'm still not seeing it i feel so blind
no party queue, custom match must be full 5v5
this menu
then you would just edit the sticks from button configuration
Useless feature for now
Afaik
So this is just custom matches 2v2 or 3v3?
Nah
omg i didn't click on that. Thank you!
You can do those already afaik
That's rules for Frontlines, which is a different PvP mode
That was for the Feast game type since that used to allow full stack parties. This first season of Crystal Conflict is solo queue only so they can see how balance shakes out and they don't want full stacks to roll over randoms for now.
Well PvP teams is new, no?
They've had it for a while during Feast but Feast is dead and CC hasn't adopted teams yet.
wait so before, a party can be matched with solo queue, that would be unfair in many ways
For the 6.1 dungeon, during the pulls after 1st boss. Is it better to focus the gate or aoe as per normal?
Should be under keybinds
You can bind L3 and R3 to macros 98 and 99 iirc
In general with trash pulls where there's one or two much beefier adds than the rest, you still want to aoe as always, but target the beefy ones so all your auto-attack damage goes to them.
Really only switch to your ST rotation when they're the last ones left.
The adds in those pulls are finite.
meaning those pulls in particular
umm a question fellas, if i skip p1s and p2s and go directly to p3s this week, if later i play with a group the first two savages does it count as i cleared and they would have only one chest?
yes
How many apartments in an FC home can the master own?
Can they also own apartments in the landmark buildings?
so they would have one less chest :c?
Yes.
Do the ag coins count as part of my weekly rewards for Aglaia? As in, of my 3 possible rewards, one will be the coin?
yes
yes
Thank you.
Coin = upgrade item for armor and accessories (not weapon)
You can have an fc room and an apartment and I've never heard of anyone being able to have more than one fc room
you can have one apartment anywhere
one
Ok
My brother plays this game and absolutely loves it. What would be something that I could help him get/ purchase
So the maximum flowerpots is 12 with 2 large estates and 2 apartments?
some cosmetic he wants? we don't know what your brother likes
What level is your brother? If he is already 90, you might want to give him some gil to buy equipment
O wait, are you talking about cash shop stuff? Well i would love some fenrir bike lol
Fenrir bike is cool... and useful.
It's just overpriced af if you only want the functionality.
It's not useful once you get flying kek
Extra movement for a while
Yeah but that takes a while.
Eh
He does want more mage outfits but he says he’s working on high leveling so he could get them
the 1 star speed doesn't even take long either
The general rule of thumb for flying is that you don't get it until the x.0 MSQ is done or nearly done with that zone. And starting in ShB you don't even get an MSQ mount speed increase 
Yeah he’s most likely up there he’s been playing pretty much from day one
If its mage outfits... Maybe yshtola attire?
not wearable by males
Cute of you to assume his brother plays a male character
Catgirls are guys, catboys are women.
She’s so cute :3
well excuse me for warning em beforehand
Wait I just noticed venti wtf
Cringe
catboys are mostly men in my experience
Boring
🥱
anyway getting a bit off track
this is #questions-and-help after all
So late game item what would you get
i mean depends what look he wants
we don't know what your brother likes
Mage outfits
what kind of mage :l
#glamour-discussion maybe
You mean like vivi glamour?
Okay so black mage
From final fantasy series?
Yeaaaa
you can't buy that for them, it;s the lvl 70 BLM job gear
There are no "late game" items in the cash shop. All you can buy are skips and cosmetics (other than the bike which is a bit more functional)
theres the lvl 90 blm set that i dont know the name of
I’ll look at the cosmetics then I’m just trying to get an idea not an outright answer
For the one who said idk what ur bro likes
Use Eorzea collection
Eorzea collection site might help for glamour
And just ask him what kind of glamour he want and go get it together with him
ivalice raids lvl 70
I haven’t touched the game yet as I’ve been installing expansion patches, but I was interested in the lancer/dragoon job. How complicated would this role be for a new player?
Braindead
you have 90 levels to learn it
I would say pretty straight forward, not that complicated for me
Easter quests timed out 12 mins ago, right?
no got 7 hours
easy to pick up, but rewarding and has some spaghetti finger moments at high level
is mount from p4s 3rd chest farmable
no
oof
so its weekly
yes

question, I was looking up a guide for crafting, and it told me I could buy lvl 70 gears from doing collectibles, but browsing the scrip shop it just shows the lvl 58 gears?
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
Unlocking Radz-at-Han's House of Splendors (Radz-at-Han x11, y9)
Gotta do them in order iirc
understood, thanks
Unlocking them is pretty quick
hello, how do i level up another job? is it just by npc blue/yellow quests and encountering fates?
!faq altlvlguide
thanks sir
Tldr: do fates or hunting log between level 1-15
got it
After level 15, do daily roulette (leveling, Alliance raid, msq? Are good) then dungeons
But not the Poetic tomestone dungeons (level 50, 60, 70, 80) or their roulettes, these focuses on reward poetics so their exp yield are crap
Oh yeah
alright, much thanks
For more detailed breakdown, and pros and cons of different options at higher levels
Read that
Hey, im a very newish player but I just got the shadowbringers DLC. Why can't I select the two dlc races
its greyed out ):
Have you actually registered Shadowbringers?
uhh not sure how to do that
Do you have the key code for your Shadowbringers purchases?
where can i find it
And I assume you bought the correct region matching your starter Edition?
I can't help from this point onward, because I play on PS4, it is a much simplified process on PS4
One sec
oh, also
but I haven't activated anything either
new gatherers and crafters role quests will start at lvl 80?
Is there any way to change the region i have it for
thanks
This is beyond my capability, imma call in the calvary
you have to contact the reseller
<@&473626701947994134> (maybe?)
ShB key is outdated now
What is the issue?
Man
Wow, I had a complete brainfart, I didn't even realized that Shadowbringers no longer available for sales anymore
okay so step one: what region is your Square Enix Account
you can still redeem ShB
you just cant buy it
Yeah, but seems like a waste of gils
Since you can just grab Endwalker and get Shadowbringers for free
ill show you guys what i got
Imma actually shut up and let folks who are more clear headed help you, good luck
Ohhhhh
that is the Shadowbringers Story Skip
i wanted to do it for an NA server but i mistakenly choose Oceania
totem only
Dropped from the ex or totem
Damn
ask support, otherwise you're shit out of luck
Awwwww man
Shiny glowy with additional effect will be added to XIV way down the line. For reference, we are only finally done with shiny stuff for Stormblood ex. We still have Shadowbringers ex trials to go through before we get to Endwalker
So did you send it to the wrong character?
I want to guess that they thought Shadowbringers story skip is Shadowbringers expansion
I don't know... I literally just bought it hoping it was the shadowbringers dlc
Oh
Cuz i thought thats what it said
You're SoL then
Yeah you'll need to pay again for the actual DLC
which one do i buy
SE probably won't refund.
you buy Endwalker on the Square Enix Store
you cannot buy expansions on the FFXIV Online Store
Inu, first, identify and confirm which region your mogstation is
That is very important
Then the good folks here will help you figure out how to get Endwalker
Assuming you have Starter Edition
Can anyone help me get the NIGHT PEGESUS WHISTLE ? Or is this just something I'm gonna have to suffer for if I don't have 10 mil gil ?
this isnt a recruit channel

its literally a huge banner on the square enix store
so complete edition works?
do you have the starter edition already
yes
You can earn gil yourself
hope you get lucky from Deep Dungeon drops
then you need endwalker
If you have Starter Edition, you just need Endwalker
Complete is just starter + Endwalker thrown together like a set meal
(the only difference is you don't save money buying this set meal)
yes

Please make sure it matches your region
Please please please
Not where your character is btw
go to mogstation and click account information on the left side menu

where does ultimate fall in terms of difficulty and format? is it equal with savage? also is it one boss like a trial or boss+trash+boss like alliance raids but with 8 people?
harder than savage, its a chain of bosses
Harder than savage
i see
its like a boss rush except harder
imagine you had to do all 4 savage raids in a row with no breaks in between
Usually 18min long fights with no checkpoints (this checkpoint in dsu is the exception)
And extremely fast mechanics
when you say like 4 savage raids is it just diffucult because its k to back or are the fights themselves harder than savage?
One might say ultimate is the definition of mechanic vomit
Just look at any of the trios for Thordan
was wormhole or light rampant harder?
ty
mb wrong chat
At least light rampant was early in the fight
ignore me
I have a friend request I want to decline, but my options are Wait or Accept... what do i do?
Open friend list and decline
Thank you
Ultimate has next to no leeway when it comes to positioning and timing
Not only the mechanics becomes more complex and punishing, the precision required is also much higher
hate to be that guy but is ultimate harder or easier than WoW mythic
theres really no comparison to mythic since they're designed so differently
From my limited understanding of wow fights, the two are hardly comparable
fair enough, tyty
With 3rd party option like gshade u can fiddle with the lighting
Encounter design is just fundamentally different
On top of that, if you are doing blind prog, the newer two of the three older ultimates has a form of hidden mechanics where you need to do certain thing a specific way to aid you in the later phases. And the big headache part is, when you prog, you won't know how to actually do it because you won't know that you failed the early mechanics until you hit the later phase
this game already looks really good
Wow fight is more reactive right? Like a street brawl (full of randomness)
While xiv is complex coreograph dance, preventive(?) Fight
This doesn't apply for new server yeah?
Sort of, yes
Wait so kujata has road to 70rn?
you can do super resolution if you have that for your gpu, basically draw the game at a higher resolution than your monitor and scale it down, idk where the option is for nvidia tho
Its on preffered since 6.1
only for people who transferred in/create a new character in respected server
Though xiv fights also have reactive elements or multiple random patterns
Huh
Example ||for uw ultimate, you need to resolves Garuda, Ifrit, and Titan phases in a specific ways to gain 3 beyond limit buffs for your party member to survive the phase transition. But if you don't do for Ifrit, you don't wipe at the Ifrit, you can actually still get to phase transition, you just don't survive because you are one buff short. ||
Time to make a new char.
Not like it's all a choreo
Perfect time to make my jp alt to play with my friends.
ooo why EU?
Coz I'm from eu.
ohhh
ok ok
😄
sorry2
Sry.
yes
How much potency are auto attacks?
varies from jobs to jobs
And how frequent do they happen?
I only know SMN does more than BLM ._.
Do auto attacks have a primary stat they use for damage calculation?
the frequency is dependent on your weapon
and if you hover to your weapon, there should be an auto-attack number
there's "auto attack delay" on your weapon
Oh, shoot, I forgot about that stat
Is that where the XIV in community joke about smacking enemy with books comes from?
I have no idea ._.
Any1 got a rough estimate of how rare is the TT card drop from E12S?
https://www.akhmorning.com/news/the-case-of-dancer-auto-attacks/#the-test
here's an old article in reference to auto attack formula due to an issue with dnc autos last expac
Thank you, Channy!
and statwise smn has the highest str value out of the casters so its autos "hurt" the msot
but its inconsequential in the grand scheme of things
I assume all TT card have the same droprate ._. , although I got mine during reclear, while my party member never got his
for E12S
Are NPCs in cutscenes suppose to have voices? If so, I can’t hear them. Anyone have a fix?
not all cutscenes no, some do but not all
What about the cutscene you’re welcomed with when first starting?
when you first make a char? yea thats meant to be voiced
The first hear, feel, think is voiced
Yea I can’t hear it. Like when you’re floating around
Not too worried. Maybe it’s just that one if it is suppose to be voiced
Only the voice gone or no sound at all?
I can hear the sounds, just not the voice
ARR is weird with its voices
your voice setting? 🤔
because the budget was incredibly tight
Yea I’m on that part now
Check out my other VGS channels https://www.youtube.com/user/xVideoGamesSourcex https://www.youtube.com/user/VideoGamesSourceXbox https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCMEFPf-PM2BPRQ_obhlnGvg https://www.youtube.com/user/VideoGamesSourceWiiU Final Fantasy XIV: A Realm Reborn - Opening "Hear, Feel, Think" Armor Creation Dream Cutscene
this?
that is the first cutscene yes
There's a voice there yeah
Yea, that part. No voice just sounds. I’m passed that now though
then maybe your voice sound setting is turned off
type /sysconfig
and choose the sound category
take an ss and post it here
I can hear a narrator after the wagon part so I’m just gonna assume it bugged out for that first part
owh
probably you accidently tabbed out or click another window without checking the "play sound even when window isn't active" thing
Is the new pvp currency, the series malmstones thing exclusive to the new pvp mode? Or can u get the series xp from any pvp?
any
Awesome, thanks :)
Do I hand in my yellow scrips in mor dhona?
yes
How do I feed my chocobo for exp without it changing color? Can anyone explain for me?
what gear do u get from the new ultimate?
605 weapon with the same substats as the savage one
but with one extra meld
also "The Heaven's Legend" title
Feed it foods that don’t change the color
Krakka is the “basic” food for purely experience
There’s others that give experience and a small buff to the chocobo if you make it their favorite food
There's no way to get an i600+ wep without doing p4s, right?
Correct
Along with Krakka Roots, these also give experience
what format is the ultimate in? is it 1 boss like a trial?
Boss rush, basically.
Also, do I need the gear piece's specific DoH at 90 to be able to overmeld?
It’s a series of boss fights chock full of punishing mechanics.
@obsidian patio appreciated
Any crafter works for melding
multiboss gauntlet with extremely punishing mechanics and almost no checkpoints
You only need a specific crafter for repairing the gear
Oh. In the meanwhile I figured out the issue. You can't overmeld augmented crafted.
and u only get the rewards from last boss?
Yep, because it’s not crafted anymore.
Almost no checkpoints? There's a checkpoint???
did... did u not watch DSU
Nope
Only one known checkpoint so far, and it’s right after the first phase.
so i need to push 3 crafters from 60-80 for ultimate
for gear is vendor gear enough to level the crafters
yeah theres a checkpoint after first trash now
Is there some1 who could tell me why ppm from several countries can't enter the eu servera and getting 2002
Hard depends on which ultimate. In any case, the latest and best food is recommended, which is crafted only, but dps shouldn't be much of an issue. Ultimates are more mechanics chechs than dps checks, but there is a definite dps element.
@gritty oracleah sry meant dsu to rep my gear after the checkpoint
DSU needs i600 gear, which you can only obtain from savage or a lot of kupo nut farming.
Also unsure what you mean by "rep". Repair is conducted with dark matter, if that's what you're asking.
But you only need one crafter at 90 to repair any lv90 gear
kupo nuts?
I only have CUL and I'm repairing my gear just fine
really ? yesterday we ended on you need the repsective crafter at 80 thats shown on the gearpiece
you can buy augments with kupo nuts
level 80 crafters repair
Me too
vietnam flashbacks to Login Unreal
just got 90 on my gathering jobs, unsure as to which set of gear to go for. the 570 scrip gear? or should i buy the 560 market board gear. or just straight up drop the hard gil for the 590 set?
im not looking to do anything crazy with gathering, just to help my crafters for their stuff
From yesterday I've been getting 2002 error
Iirc unless you want to go hardass on melding, you should go for scrip.
preesh
has there been an acknowledment by squenix or something?
Can log in into other servers but not the eu one
i played yesterday just fine
anyway i am already 600 bis equipped with 605 weapon my question is about CRAFTER gear for 60-80 is
the vendor CRAFTER gear good enough for leves and gc turn ins cause i dont wanna pay 40k gil per piece of turn in
No1 seems to mention it from the dev team
You’ll probably struggle near 70-72 with NQ vendor gear but if you make sure to use HQ materials whenever possible you should be fine
ok thank you 👍
I do recommend grinding out the scrips to get pieces of the level 70 Handking set, as that can last all the way to 80
perfect
Like with Custom Deliveries
thats the infos i was looking for
@torpid pollen which server you are / datacenter
You can easily afford a full set of scrip gear with just 1 week of custom deliveries so that should be fine.
im the one odin is in
its not lvl 90
its lvl 80
and crafter specific
and you can repair cause you have your other crafters at min 80
oh
@shrewd wedge eu Chaos, spriggan playing from bulgaria
The whole country can't log in after the update
eu chaos spriggan, and worked just fine for me
Have u considered that it might be coming from the side of ur isp and less square itself
No idea, worked fine till yesterday and later that day nothing can't log in
The whole country can't log in
even if u hotspot from your phone?
Or tried with a vpn?
My pc doesn't have a WiFi to hot
Tspot it
u can use usb cable too
telenor
Ama nqmashe problemi do sega
Write a support ticket to square
And maybe check with ur provider if they notice issues on that
Hello, does the dualsense haptic feedback and triggers on ff14 works on PC?
So probably
something with whatever suqenix is resnposible
for routing connections
to EU datacenter
since we are 2 different providers
If it is limited to Bulgaria it may just as well be an ISP issue
Yes, it worked fine yesterday and later thst day this happenes
2 different ISP
It's not just bg
Other countries having same proble
which countries?
Yes but it may still be related to your regional network hardware
Impssible to tell from the outside
it's not uncommon for 2 different ISP to use the same routing
Macedonia
probably a balkan thing then
Ye, hope its resolved
it cant be related to the russia thing
since our coutnries have nothing to deal with that
does squenix have like
a live chat?
Not for EU afaik, but you can open a ticket
I doubt they'll be able to fix it quickly though if it is a large scale problem and indeed an issue on their side
A ticket may actually be more helpful for them.
well if its 2 countries
prob more
probably on their end
and if its just the eu datacenter
My point is whoever you end up with on a 1st level support live chat wont have the power to do anything about it
They would just open the ticket for you and pass it upwards
there is a thread
that uspposedly shows after 6.11 issues started
but i played yesterday just fine
my isp just gonna tell me to fuck off
apparnetly people got kicked out roughyl around midnight?
seems to aalso affect the actual ff14 websites/forums too
anyone know how to get the game to install?
I've tried reinstalling windows because i've read that it's due to onedrive messing with the documents folder but that wasn't it
sorry if this is the wrong channel I wasn't sure where to post
Not the wrong channel but you may also try #952326072542847016
alright
If due to downtime trance is already up, but I still have legos, should I overwrite legos with trance, or expend the legos first?
hey my level to 80 boost is now gone and im in Materia, can i transfer to another world in materia for another boost? or can i transfer to another server and back for another boost?
i got it when i first moved from JP to materia even when the JP world was not congested or preferred hmmm
Ramuh to Ravana
is housing lottery available now?
Last I recall all worlds on Materia were preferred and thus have the road to 80 buff, not sure about now
@torpid pollen so
called
some people also called
apparently A1/VIVACOM issue
Telenor connections seem fine
Depends on if using the legos would make you lose a use of Bahamut/Phoenix in the fight
im on A1 for internet
i dont have mobile data on telenor to check if i can login
but seeing as soemeone oculd on the forums
@shrewd wedge mine is VIVACOM, I doubt they decided to pull the plug for 1h
safe to assume its those 2 provider fault
probably a routing issue
prob those 2 providers use same thing or whatever
macedonia also has A1
Maybe was playing just fine yesterday
so that would explain why they also have hte issue
yeah same
but comments say been going on for 19hrs on forums
and i did my raid at like
11-12
so it probably dropped connections soem point afterwards
I tried to log in iat 20pm and can't connect still
yeah thats in the 19hr timeframe that it had been dropped
i sent 2 tracerts to both datacenters to A1
anything past ping 5
is timed out
more and more people cokmment its vivacom/a1 issue too
so most likely a node they share went down
when i called they said they will send it to the admins
to potentionally reroute connections
Thank you a lot for doing thst, I was thinking the same thing
Hope they take a look into it
well sooner or later the node should be repaired...hopefully
worse case if it doesnt get fixed soon
could use my telenor data as a hotspot
should work
It works
since it goes aroudn the broken node
But it a temporary resolve
they said theyd call me back if they know more/resolve it
so if i dont forget ill @ ya
oh well i guess i can live 1 day without roulettes
Hope it's not going to take long, and I hope they taking care of it
well another person form A1 called them and they did same like me
asked which datacenter/server and they will check it
while vivacom seemed ot just say they cant deal wiht it based on 1 comment
I'm not so experienced with those networking issues and I don't know what to tell them
Tested with another server member from Bulgaria and he had some input from a friend
#general-discussion message
the BGP is fucked
it just drops the connection
from a smart friend
also confirmed that a vpn works just now
basically time out after the Sofia Node
so whatever is after hte Sofia node
thats shared between A1/VIVACOM Macedonia Georgia is down
there's a thread in the forums with a lot of people having the issue
https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/461811-Error-2002-after-the-patch
Hello, after patching the game I'm having error 2002. And no it's not on my side, because a friend of mine in a different city, on a completely different provider has the same issue.
Regardless, I tried everything in order to fix it, but it doesn't work.
Thanks
hey, since materia server is still considered NEW my character that is moved there has passed its level boost to 80, may i transfer my character out of OCE and then back again and still get the level boost considering it is still NEW server?
probably not but since its a new bonus they added the first time we dont know how it works with transferring out and in again but i dont think its worth to pay for a transfer out of it to only test it
i understand, im reading more about it to see if it is a one time thing or not 😄
I don't get it, do I have to wait a day to accept beast tribe quests after unlocking them?
You still have active quests (possibly from other tribes)
ohh thanks a lot
I just got everything fixed and can now log into the game thanks for the help man sorry for being stupid lmao
does anyone know when ravana will be up again for new chars? just starting out to play with a friend and there on that server but no one new can join it.
I got through to vivacom, they asked for a tracert to be sent to the helpdesk. Send them one, now they are aware of the issue too.
