oh my god the trait really just does Nothing

[warped nest]

Wait, what?

[hallow wind]

Is there a dedicated LS or Community for helping with Deep Dungeons?

[boreal storm]

Doesn’t that include the trait?

[slate arrow]

wait i might be reading this wrong

[boreal storm]

Because the kupo tool tips assume max lvl

[hallow wind]

I want to experience the story of POTD from 1-100 but I can't seem to get a queue with matched groups

[cedar harbor]

its confusing as hell

[slate arrow]

use party finder

[hallow wind]

(I am playing in the OCE DC for reference)

[warped nest]

To check in game, go to a dungeon or a fate to sync down below level 54

Then check your tooltip again

[hallow wind]

Alright I'll give that a go

How long does it usually from floor 1 to 100

[cedar harbor]

wait so it actually does nothing?

[slate arrow]

nope here we go

[boreal storm]

Bam

[cedar harbor]

ohhhhh

ty ty makes sense

[oak lily]

Are you still in ARR?

[cedar harbor]

nah heavensward

[slate arrow]

on a related aside, you used to get the Skill Blood of the Dragon at 54 which increased potency of skills while the time was active

[warped nest]

Blood of the dragon was required to use the two new weaponskills Dragoon learnt at lvl 56+

[slate arrow]

they since wrapped that into a trait so you don't have a button you press Once and then never press it again

[warped nest]

In Stormblood, it becomes a bit easier to maintain the buff

Then in Shadowbringers it becomes not possible to drop the buff unless you don't want to press button

[oak lily]

All I know about the game in the past much is stuff like, Titan-Egi being able to tank? And Cleric Stance and shit

[warped nest]

And now, like what industrial said, it becomes a natural trait

[slate arrow]

ahhhh good old ARR to Stormblood

[boreal storm]

TP

[slate arrow]

anyways I'm fairly sure the point has been made, sorry for the tangent OTL

[warped nest]

Healer damage used to be calculated with intelligence stat and their healing uses mind stat

Cleric let your intelligence and mind swap so you can do damage better

But it absolutely shoot your healing

[oak lily]

And the Titan-Egi thing?

[warped nest]

Now both their healing and damage uses the mind stat

Summoner can summon Ifrit Egi, Garuda Egi, and titan egi

[slate arrow]

a thing that was removed because of how aggro as a whole was overhauled in ShB alongside a basic redesign

[warped nest]

They have 3-4 skills you can use

[slate arrow]

and the endwalker threw that in the dumpster and now we have lego summoner

[warped nest]

Titan Egi skill focuses on aggro, and defense

Your summon used to have health and can gain aggro

(same deal for Scholar too)

But as said by industrial, that's all gone in shb

[slate arrow]

"I'M A TANK NOW" selene says, as she dies in one tank buster

[warped nest]

ShB Summoner summon still sorta kinda the same, Titan afaict, is just Ifrit but different

[slate arrow]

well titan gave you a shield instead of having two attack skills

situationally useful and was used a bit in some raids iirc

[torn tangle]

Weird question; did cities use to have ambient "crowd" sounds? While in large cities i keep hearing crackling sputters of sounds that are and sound mostly glitchy, but some times the stutter lasts for a microsecond longer and i can hear tiny fractures of what sounds like crowd ambience going on?

You can hear it clearly at the following marks on the example:
03-05 seconds
11-13 seconds
16 - 20 seconds

To me it sounds like the game struggles with sound channels, it only happens in ff for me and i've never had it elsewere. happens on 2 different machines, as well as different audio equipment too

[oak lily]

They still do

Can hear it in Limsa in the daytime

If it’s empty

[torn tangle]

hmm, for me its always dead empty, no ambient "crowds" at all ocassionally just the sputtering sound.

[slate arrow]

sounds like that audio file in particular might be corrupt

could try reinstalling or checking game integrity

[cedar harbor]

oh ok cool!

[patent citrus]

anyone can help me what kind of furniture combination is this?

[torn tangle]

I tried reinstalling as well as it remains after reformating my main machine, happens on my second machine too though

[slate arrow]

OH

it might be the characters idle animations actually

or someone is messing with /stance

yeah sounds like the sheathe/equip sound

[torn tangle]

in the clip there were no one near me though

as in you can't see it but when i recorded it xD

[slate arrow]

then it might be the NPC idle animation, i know some have them take a step in place sometimes

[cold pelican]

Is there a setting where I can move the camera without change the direction my character moves in? I swear I could hold right mouse button to do so, but now it doesn’t do that anymore

[oak lily]

I’ve definitely heard ambient chatter in Limsa

[slate arrow]

legacy

[torn tangle]

It does happen outside cities too and i hear remnants of various ambiences too but its most frequent in bigger cities

[cedar harbor]

ahhh i see

[cold pelican]

Yes I have the on

[slate arrow]

agshdjkashdjk sorry my brain is tangled

[wintry cypress]

In dhon mehg finale phase when you destroying the barrier red mage can't gain any mana. Is it bugged or what?

[slate arrow]

Right Mouse Button by default controls the direction your character is looking with Standard

Left Mouse is freelook

[cold pelican]

Left mouse also changes character direction when turning camera

I dunno what I touched to change so because I could do it a day ago

[slate arrow]

you want Standard to enable freelook

Legacy has you move forward based on Camera orientation

Standard is Character Based

[cold pelican]

Oh

[slate arrow]

you don't gain mana from attacking invulnerable objects

[oak lily]

That’s what I thought too

[slate arrow]

also, what barrier?

if you mean this, you need to stand in the barrier to deal damage

[cosmic sleet]

can i get banned/reported for griefing by other party members for rescuing my gf into puddles/aoe stuff? idk how sensitive other players be

[slate arrow]

technically yes, since it's considered disruptive behavior, even if it's with friendly people. in practice unless you're literally throwing the instance, nobody cares

[cosmic sleet]

fair enough, tyty

[solemn jewel]

Ur gf getting a vuln stack for it can be a detriment to the team so

[cosmic sleet]

but its a benefit for me (:

[warm snow]

No one will report you in casual shit, pull this in extreme or higher people will get pissed

Also you'll probably end up on the sofa at this rate but that's outside the game

[pulsar escarp]

most people genuinely won't give a shit and won't report you - but it is reportable if you really annoyed a guy so just do it at your own risk

[warm snow]

Or hey maybe that's his kink

[pulsar escarp]

maybe let's not go there

[slate arrow]

🗞️

[quick flare]

Yo, does anyone have a good text guide for monk? I know the basics but am curious to how to maximise the efficiency of my rotation

[slate arrow]

https://www.thebalanceffxiv.com/jobs/melee/monk/

[pulsar escarp]

if you're looking to improve greatly the balance is always full of good resources.

[quick flare]

Thanks!

[cold pelican]

Where’s the setting to turn on auto progress dialogue?

[warm snow]

Check your keybinds

[solemn jewel]

Usually it's Space

[warm snow]

It's top button on controller by default

[quick flare]

So it turns out I figured all that out just from reading the move descriptions, nice

The guide is exactly what I've been doing

[cold pelican]

Thanks!

[quick flare]

I was mainly just confused about some abilities which I thought were totally useless and it turns out they are indeed mostly useless haha

[warm snow]

Anatman?

[quick flare]

Yeah that haha, was so confused as to what its purpose was

The others I was confused about I could at least see situations for it but never that

[warm snow]

If you want a full skills run through, I'd recommend weskalber

Well let's take p3s as an example, you do it during the dives

Where the boss is untargetable

[quick flare]

Ty, am not looking to main mnk tho just wanted to not be useless with itnhaha

[oak lily]

Just to make sure, I can get rid of the Makai gear and just get it back from the Calamity Salvager, right?

[pulsar escarp]

no harm in looking at what's commonly done for the easiest optimisation

[quick flare]

Btw it doesn't talk much about form shift in that guide. Is that mainly used at the start of the fight so you can start on whatever you like?

[warm snow]

Only after you get the associated achievement

And not for the shield or accessories

[warm snow]

Yeah

Especially since perfect balance gives it to you for free now

You also use it at the end of downtime, right before the boss becomes target able again

[quick flare]

Nice, I actually saw someone else do it when levelling and it just kinda clicked haha

[oak lily]

Monk to me finally filled in starting at like 57

[quick flare]

I saw them use form shift at the start of the fight and was like "ohhhhh that makes sense"

[oak lily]

It’s still at 60 tho

[warm snow]

It used to have like a 5s duration so a lot of older monks just spam the fuck out of it

[quick flare]

Oof haha

Now it's just one ability isn't it

[warm snow]

Pre pull: spam formless fist til the actual pull

[quick flare]

What does formless fist do again

[warm snow]

It's the buff

[naive ridge]

allows you to use any weaponskill regardless of your form

[warm snow]

I just call form shift formless fist out of habit

[umbral dune]

let you use certain skill without required form but still get the bonus when using in the right form

[warm snow]

Form shift gives the buff formless fist

[quick flare]

Ah right, why do you need to spam it? Ig to refresh the CD but it's like 30 seconds or smth right?

[warm snow]

The buff duration used to be like 5 seconds

[umbral dune]

no spam, just before the fight start

[warm snow]

Old habits die hard

[quick flare]

Ahhh I see now

It's a way to tell the old mnk players hahaha

[warm snow]

Also while it's around, imma make a recommendation

Lmao

[fringe bone]

Is the way you get Luminous wind crystal through fates in Sea Of Clouds ?

[warm snow]

Ye

But is rng

Like atmas in arr

[naive ridge]

no

[quick flare]

I reckon it would be better without the glow, can't really see the kettles

[naive ridge]

not anymore

[fringe bone]

was that for me or ?

[quick flare]

What are luminous wind crystals for?

[naive ridge]

luminous crystals arent rng

[warm snow]

Anima relics

[fringe bone]

then how do i get them ?

[quick flare]

Ahh

[oak lily]

Rng

[fringe bone]

huh ? one is saying no rng 2 are saying rng

[umbral dune]

the rate of luminous crystal is much higher than atma, 3-5 fates usually do the trick but it can be just one

[oak lily]

Also higher than when it was current

[naive ridge]

is it still rng?

[umbral dune]

ofc

[naive ridge]

i feel like 1 got 1 for every fate

[warm snow]

It is still rng

Just better rng

[fringe bone]

can i do any fate or only 59?

[warm snow]

And not atma rng

Any fate

In the zone

[fringe bone]

oh ok ty

[naive ridge]

my bad

[warm snow]

Also watch out there's an achievement boss fate near the vanu aetheryte

Do not bother, the music will be different

[fringe bone]

is this video a good guide btw? i heard some stuff about desperius not being good https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jbf0pWp8jGw&ab_channel=DesperiusFFXIV

[warm snow]

And it's waaaaay too fucking tanky

[warm snow]

Wouldn't recommend

!faq anima

[zinc orbit]

5.1 Guide to the Anima Relic

Anima Relic Guide

[fringe bone]

i cant read to much text tho

[warm snow]

You just need a Shitton of poetics basically

[umbral dune]

anima is quite easy, just a long grind so guide is somewhat not necessary

[fringe bone]

i got 2k now

[warm snow]

Just reading your quests will keep you on track

Shits piss simple

[oak lily]

You need like 15k

[warm snow]

Eureka on the other hand...

More like euREEEEEEka

[fringe bone]

i dont understand ..

anyone who wanna discuss this 1 on 1 with me the diff answers get me confused

[oak lily]

When we say you need poetics

We mean a lot of poetics

[fringe bone]

what do i do with em

[umbral dune]

exchange for quest items

[naive ridge]

gear/relic mats/ gear for GC seals

[warm snow]

Almost every step is: give me a bunch of this item you buy with poetics

[fringe bone]

where to who? what do i need?

[warm snow]

Depends on the step

Some of this shit won't be buyable until you progress your relic

[fringe bone]

My quests says Deliver the astral nodule and umbral nodule to Ardashir in Azys Lla

[warm snow]

And that's only step 1

Of like 10

[fringe bone]

ok but do i buy this or?

[warm snow]

Get the nodes

Then do what the next quest tells you

[fringe bone]

where do i get the nodes?

[warm snow]

You'll end up needing a lot of poetics

[oak lily]

You also need to do a lot of dungeons

[warm snow]

Read your quest text

Your journal

The game tells you

[fringe bone]

yeah its says i need the luminous crystals

[warm snow]

Yes yes you do

[fringe bone]

do i buy them or just farm them?

[alpine shadow]

I reccomend just reading this, https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Anima_Weapons, easy step-to-step and no need to scroll trough video when you want to revisit the steps

[fringe bone]

i cant read that way to much text and links and colors

[oak lily]

Speaking of HW fates

[alpine shadow]

you only really read the quest that you currently are on

it's not much

[oak lily]

How often do Souls drop from them?

[umbral dune]

just read the requirement of the quest

[warm snow]

We have led you to water

We can't make you drink

[alpine shadow]

don't read the whole thing, only read the part that you are on

cause the wiki is for the whole complete step

[warm snow]

But if you want to not be thirsty/have an anima relic

There's a lot of shit to do for a relic weapon

No two ways about it

It's supposed to be an endgame grind

[fringe bone]

Would there be annyone here willing to help me out in private ?

[alpine shadow]

the anima weapon guide by desperius also goes down only to step 6, and doesn't tell you the 2 last steps

[fringe bone]

he had a part 2

[alpine shadow]

watching all 3 videos takes then so 30 minutes

yes, step 6 is part 3

[fringe bone]

Well thats why im asking some help

😅

[alpine shadow]

well, that's why i gave you the link

[warm snow]

And the reddit link

[alpine shadow]

you can't reduce more info than what i already provided

[warm snow]

It's gonna be long, it's a long process

[slate arrow]

Most of the steps boil down to

Get poetics, buy stuff, turn in weapon + stuff, run content, repeat.

[fringe bone]

i got some medical issues so i cant really read all of the helpfull stuff you guys send me

[warm snow]

Just read one step at a time, thauns link is divided into the individual steps

[leaden ginkgo]

Im assuming not, but is there a way to hide the hotbar numbers? Like how on each hotbar, on the left side it says what number hotbar it is

[warm snow]

Character config

[slate arrow]

Character config > hotbars

[fringe bone]

i cant even look at that page without getting a huge headache trying to read

[slate arrow]

https://youtu.be/3TOJF5lzczs

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you guys :)

[slate arrow]

This one I find is significantly better

[fringe bone]

oh thank you!

il watch that

[river oasis]

How did they implement the weapon from the previous competition?

[plucky jewel]

why i cant meld?

[solemn jewel]

You have to be a crafter to do it urself

Otherwise u need to ask a melding npc

[plucky jewel]

ah

okay

[oak lily]

Don’t bother with it until max level either

[umbral dune]

also there is a blue quest before you can actually melding yourself

[plucky jewel]

just for quest

i already got the blue quest for melding

[slate arrow]

In this case, you need tier 1 materia.

[plucky jewel]

hmm tier 1

[slate arrow]

Each materia has a certain item level the gear must be if you want to affix it to an item

[warm snow]

Also you need to be at minimum 10 levels below the items level requitements to meld it yourself

So a level 50 req item needs a 40+ crafter to meld

[plucky jewel]

i see

the item is lv20, im currently lv21

[slate arrow]

Crafter?

[plucky jewel]

goldsmith

[warm snow]

And on your crafter?

[slate arrow]

Then yes, you just need a tier 1 materia now.

[warm snow]

[warm snow]

ANY rank 1

[plucky jewel]

okay

[warm snow]

see the min ilevel req for that level 2 you have

[plucky jewel]

i can get it from market board?

Ye

[plucky jewel]

okay

[raw granite]

Is there any place you can turn it unidentified magiteks anymore ?

[warm snow]

Nope

Events over

Gotta wait another 2 years and maybe it'll be back

[plucky jewel]

yes

[raw granite]

well that's inconvenient

[warm snow]

You had like a month to hand them in

[night lotus]

Hi, i'm botanist and miner lvl 52. Where could i get gears for them ? Currently i have lvl 40 items

[keen pecan]

Hi , if just started to look at farming a glam set for my main and was woundering how many time you can run a single dungeon and does more of the same class help the odds of items drop?

[slate arrow]

Each run guarantees one item for your current job that is not in your inventory

[solemn jewel]

Unless it's a dungeon at 50/60/70/80

[slate arrow]

The number depends if there's left or right side gear, but the upper maximum should be 10

Unless yeah it's a level cap dungeon in which case pray to RNG

[keen pecan]

ok thanks

[keen pecan]

ok thanks

[slate arrow]

Ishgard, armourer vendor

[night lotus]

It's normal quality, it's not a problem ?

[obsidian patio]

Not as much for gatherers

You might need to buy vendor gear more often, but its good enough for leveling up

that's the fancy af gear from your level 50, and the cheapest 51 item from the hw vendor

10 ilevels and 11 perception difference at NQ

that and the lv50 only gave you one piece

that'll add up fast, especially if you get some accessories

[night lotus]

I have 256 collect atm

need to buy accessories somewhere

[warm snow]

ishgard

[leaden ginkgo]

At lv36 whats the best dungeon to farm for xp?

[solemn jewel]

Brayflox i wanna say?

[fresh jasper]

Temple of Qarn

[solemn jewel]

Ah ye Qarn until 38, then cutters

[leaden ginkgo]

Is it usually just whatever dungeon is the highest level?

[fresh jasper]

Ideally yeah

[leaden ginkgo]

Gotcha gotchaaa

[solemn jewel]

Unless it's a dungeon ending with 0

Like 50, 60

Those give less exp so X1 and X9 would be the go to

[leaden ginkgo]

Oooh, okay :) What would be faster for leveling? POTD or Dungeon Farming?

[lethal mist]

You know that guide that opens up when you hit a level where you unlock a new gauge. How do I open it again?

[leaden ginkgo]

Press P and than click the "?" At thr bottom

@lethal mist

[solemn jewel]

Dungeons are Optimal unless ur Qs are very bad

[lethal mist]

Aaaah there it is, thank you!

[leaden ginkgo]

Ofc :)

[leaden ginkgo]

As a dps, im getting like 5 - 10min ques right now in dungeons

[solemn jewel]

That's normal

[umbral dune]

unless it reaches 15+, just continue with dungeon

[leaden ginkgo]

Gotchass

[lethal mist]

I'm currently spamming PotD 51-60 for exp but dungeons are actualyl better?

[solemn jewel]

Yea if the q isn't too long

[dry bobcat]

Whats the point of Cover on PLD?

For defending off tanks?

[modest igloo]

None

[warm snow]

you take the damage for a chosen target

can also take debuffs

[dry bobcat]

Yeah ik

But in what situation do i use it

[warm snow]

in p4s there's a double tank buster with a non stacking bleed, pld uses cover, takes both tbs but only one person has a bleed

situational

[dry bobcat]

Ah

[modest igloo]

It’s super niche

[dry bobcat]

Nah im lvl 45

[warm snow]

dps about to die from stupid but need them for the check, cover

[modest igloo]

Intervention is a much better short cd for other tanks

[dry bobcat]

Hmmm okay

And Spirits Within

Its just ogcd damage

[modest igloo]

Yep

Use it on cd

[dry bobcat]

Like drg spineshatter dive

[modest igloo]

Nah

Spine shatter is mobility

[dry bobcat]

Well, in terms of its an ogcd damage skill

[modest igloo]

So sometimes you’d save that later

[dry bobcat]

Apart from the movement

[modest igloo]

It’s more like jump

[dry bobcat]

Ah ok

Thanks

[misty flicker]

Anyone know where i can find good keybinds for Controller?

[warm snow]

Gotta find what works for you, default is also solid

unless you mean hotbar setup

in which case yeah, find what works for you

cuz everyone's different

[misty flicker]

Yeah, hotbar setup

[warm snow]

and a lot of people have muscle memory based on old ways the job worked

[autumn anvil]

Tip #1 is to enable WXHB and expanded controls

The rest is just getting used to it

[misty flicker]

Well, now that they put the 2nd DRK aoe to LV 40 i find No place in my Setup where it fits. I know i NEED this Skill, but everything was firting Just fine until now

[warm snow]

split your hotbars between aoe and single target

[obsidian patio]

My general go-to for setting up jobs on controller is like this:
Set one Right Half = main combo/GCD skills you'll use very often.
Set one Left Half = low cooldown skills or buffs I use frequently. AoE GCDs sometimes go here depending on job.
Hold Crossbar = holds most of my main cooldowns and sometimes AoE combos
WXHB = niche/situational skills, like role actions

I got a set-up for DRK somewhere, though I don't know if it has EW skills

so lemme find it

[autumn anvil]

Yeah, many setups are also maybe not ideal for a specific job but if you put similar actions between different jobs on the same buttons, that helps a ton with muscle memory.

[autumn anvil]

Mine is pretty similar to this, solid advice.

[misty flicker]

I'm on FT so everything Up to 60 should be enough, but having an eye on the coming skills would be great

[obsidian patio]

hmm, don't think I have a picture saved, but I can whip one up that would be pretty close to my current set-up

A skill or two might be off since I'm making this from rough memory, but this should be like 90% accurate to my current DRK setup

top set is WXHB, middle is Hold Crossbar, and bottom is main crossbar

[misty flicker]

I'll give this a try, thanks

[obsidian patio]

I play with a claw grip which sometimes devolves into a cursed double claw grip, so it might be a bit cursed/uncomfortable

[misty flicker]

Up until now i only played with hold Crossbars, so i gotta try and move a few Things around i guess

[verbal rune]

btw

I have 6 custom delivery a week across everyone?

[twilit arch]

yes

12 total

you can technically spread it between all of them by doing like 2 per or whatever, but easier to just focus 6 on 2 a week

[verbal rune]

ah, so 12 cause I can do another character

got it

[tardy bay]

is there a monk rotation guide for levelling?

[obsidian patio]

Monk is priority-based, so you just make sure to maintain the buffs as you get them

[tardy bay]

so basically what I've been doing till 80

[obsidian patio]

Dragon Kick and Twin Snakes every other rotation, and Demolish every 3rd rotation

[tardy bay]

I was hoping there'd be a guide on the rotation like for BLM

[obsidian patio]

yeah you basically have your GCD rotation done at 50, minus perfect balance giving you beast chakra stuff at 60

Besides Summoner, Monk is probably the job that becomes "complete" the fastest.

[tardy bay]

all I'm really annoyed with with monk is riddle of wind cd

I don't like drifting rotations

[obsidian patio]

[tardy bay]

at least perfect balance lines itself up for 2 minute rotations

[warped nest]

Do we have world first for DSR yet? If not, how close are the secret prog groups?

[obsidian patio]

[fringe bone]

So i have a question about Anima relics i had to collect these stones doing fates i got all the stones where do i exchange them for the Astral and Umbral nodes ?

[sturdy rose]

Eh ... my SE account have stormblood but no Shadowbringer or Endwalker. Mogstation doesn't seem to sell shadowbringer anymore. Do i just straight up buy Endwalker and that will give me Shadowbringer as well ?

[modest igloo]

yep

[faint flare]

at the old lady at the mor dhona cafe, above the markets.

[sturdy rose]

Alright eh another question. I was playing on steam Free trial for a bit to see if i will enjoy FFXIV again.

Can i just log into my SE account from steam's free trial version ?

Or do i have to download a seperate launcher ?

[faint flare]

no, they're seperate

[sturdy rose]

Aww dammit.

[faint flare]

steam and se can't mix

[sturdy rose]

What is the full game's size anyway ?

Want to make sure i have enough storage space

[modest igloo]

70 gigs i wanna say

[karmic owl]

Wait we can buy houses??????

What can’t we do in this game?

[lethal mist]

Which are the standard lost actions to bring into DR in Bozja? I haven't done this in a while..

[faint flare]

anything that increases damage

[obsidian patio]

Use your pure essence for all jobs but healer

[warm snow]

Escape the prospect of the inevitable heat death of the universe

[obsidian patio]

Healers want Aetherweaver or Profane

[warm snow]

You think I'm joking

[obsidian patio]

Defensive actions don’t mean much of anything in DR since getting hit by mechanics gives you a debuff that one-shots you after getting hit enough

The Honored Ends banner is nice for overall damage, just be mindful of your HP before using it

[karmic owl]

Dark, I like it. 😉

[plucky jewel]

should i spend allagan tomestone of poetics or leave it capped at 2000?

What is the macro to place hotbar on top?

[vestal smelt]

Does anyone here know what to write for a macro that opens sound settings?

I can only find a macro that auto adjusts the setting for me but that's not what I want

[modest igloo]

dont need to, can take the sound menu and put it on your hotbar

[vestal smelt]

OH

[vestal smelt]

How?

[modest igloo]

go to the icon in the menu

click and hold, then drag

[vestal smelt]

ohh

Thanks a ton!

[cosmic sleet]

how do I unlock Hesperos II normal? I see it on FFLogs but can't find it anywhere else lol does it exist

[chrome wing]

Hi all, I used to play this back when it first released, like before realm reborn lol. I want to come back to the game but I was wondering if I should return to my original account or if theres better resources etc for a brand new player instead?

[modest igloo]

either or is fine, both would prolly be the same by now

[open coral]

It's a pretty uniform game experience. Biggest differences would be things like a slightly different opening cutscene, and a special tattoo.

So mostly cosmetic stuff.

idk if the permanently reduced sub price for 1.0 players still applies to 1.0 players coming back now though.

You would still basically be a new player from the game's standpoint afaik.

[chrome wing]

Oh? How do i check that

[open coral]

I don't really know the details of how that applies, as I'm only a 3.1 player myself.

Only another 1.0 player would be able to answer that for you, I think.

[chrome wing]

I remember being max lvl at the time of the game..whether it was 50 or 60 i cant remember. And grinding those fate zones for some weapon parts or something lol

[open coral]

Yeah the game is... completely different now.

[chrome wing]

Is the whole lv 60 free trial thing still on? Might just create a new character completely

[open coral]

Yes.

That sounds like arr, not 1.0

Ngl

But idk if fates were in 1.0

1.0 cap was 50 tho

[chrome wing]

Yeah then i was 50, it definitely wasnt arr

I remember seeing the release of arr i had already stopped playing by then

[warm snow]

Well might be worth looking into if you qualified as a legacy character

Bonus mounts n tattoo n shit

[long zenith]

I see a lot of people take pictures of their characters ..how does one do that?

[warm snow]

Screenshot key

There is a posing mode too

[long zenith]

Oh ok thankyou

[strange coral]

You might need to check the Duty category in the hud layout to make it moveable.

[warm snow]

It's not movable

[barren granite]

what bar is that anyways ?

[modest igloo]

[elder pendant]

i accidentally exchanged my zodiac relic weapon for some stones doing the hw relic is this bad?

[modest igloo]

nah

go check with drake to see if you can grab the replicas

[strange coral]

Not really. You can get a replica of your zodiac weapon if you want it back for glamour.

The turn in for the HW relic is just an option to skip that first step.

[regal pawn]

yes it is lol

[elder pendant]

i see i thought id lost it forever

[regal pawn]

on hudlayout go to Duty

[modest igloo]

i mean the i135 version is gone, but yeah the glams around forever

dont even need to have it in your inventory to grab replicas

[regal pawn]

iirc ARR relic is wonky like that

[elder pendant]

yeah i was worried id never get to buy it again without the original

[regal pawn]

@elder pendant
Yeah so
Sucks cause ARR replicas are tied to having the relic itself

[modest igloo]

question, how does mentor roulette work when selecting a job for you to play?

[regal pawn]

you mean duty?

[modest igloo]

or is it just a normal roulette

[solemn jewel]

It just picks a duty in need of ppl

Including extremes

[modest igloo]

kk

[umbral dune]

you can get lucky and thrown into guildhest for example or suffer extreme

[dry bobcat]

How likely is getting a bot in a dung?

I just got the weirdest tank

[elder pendant]

so i tried purchasing it works. I guess its tied down when you destroy the relic via anima quest.

[regal pawn]

huh

neat

[leaden ginkgo]

say if i dont want a minion in my collection , its alrdy in my inv and i cant discard it, is there a way to permanently get rid of it without using?

[modest igloo]

dont think so

[timber badge]

i am currecnt trying to fight ifrit but my soul keeps getting burned in eternery. how do i beat this fight

im not dieing but it keeps wiping us

[strange coral]

Are you destroying the nails that spawn during the fight?

[timber badge]

no no i am not, thank you

[modest igloo]

gotta watch the whole arena for stuff

next big boss takes a homie and puts them in jail

[boreal storm]

Also whether you’re using bots or with real people, you probably would’ve noticed them attacking nails

[green grail]

best is whatever you're good at, blm can easily be top damage if you play right, its more of an "annoy the enemy team with constant damage over time" job and not super bursty, plus you can hit people through walls with superflare and you have an aoe sleep, its pretty powerful in the right hands

but it really comes down to switching to every job, reading the 6-7 skills you have and hitting the dummy to figure out the combos

then practice on people in casual

[remote lintel]

blm is very good in pvp

if you're good at it

[leaden ginkgo]

AW

[gray crescent]

the prob is alot of meele class has like all gap closer with 2 stacks. dang for blm

but in frontlines tho

im a god

[remote lintel]

you have aetherial manip

[void hill]

can i buy endwalker from amazon even though im located in SEA?

SE store wont accept my cards

[remote lintel]

as long as the region matches your account

is this tied to my data center or my se account

Hmm is there a way to force the launcher to download FFXIV first before i resub ?

[sudden dock]

do you get anything for getting all the bozja field notes?

[strange coral]

Nope

[green grail]

[sturdy rose]

rip my sub time i guess. my internet slow so proabbly take half a day

[strange coral]

If you have any friends locally that have the game, you could get a copy of their install folder.

[split dust]

So, my account got restricted for some reason, i read on internet that i should change my password to remove it, so i clicked the option to change it and send me the email, after 30 mins i did not received it, so i tried again and this showed up. What can i do?

[solemn jewel]

Have u checked ur spam?

[split dust]

Yes

Nothing

[solemn jewel]

And are u sure it's the right email address

[split dust]

Yes to both

[remote lintel]

@split dust are you sure your account isn't compromised

[split dust]

Pretty sure, never shared it with anyone

[remote lintel]

well I would contact support anyway

[plucky jewel]

i used the fantasia potion and logout, without take off my equipments, is it ok to change appearance? does equipments have gender exception?

[solemn jewel]

its not possible to change appearance if u didnt take off equipment

[strange coral]

When you use a fantasia, your character is marked as editable until you make changes and confirm them. You can still log back in and remove equipment and then log back up to edit appearance.

[solemn jewel]

just log in normally and take everything off and then logout again

[plucky jewel]

so i still can login

[broken igloo]

How important is Odin exactly (I haven't fought him yet)?
He just seems like your typical FF optional boss on the surface, but he's in both the opening cutscene and end credits of A Realm Reborn.

[plucky jewel]

it wont cancel the fantasia

[solemn jewel]

fantasia cant be canceled, it stays until u do the appearance change

[plucky jewel]

okay

[solemn jewel]

barely important.

[broken igloo]

... they were just hyping him up because he looks cool, weren't they?

[outer mural]

yes

[warm snow]

Now STRIP

[outer mural]

odin's inclusion is one of the most apparent pieces of 'this is ff callback fan-service'

[odd wraith]

Do you get more desynth xp for desyncing hq items?

[broken igloo]

I mean, they did need to drum up plenty of hype for ARR's launch, so it makes sense.

[outer mural]

yeah absolutely

[plucky jewel]

👉 👈

[warm snow]

He's also a super fate in the shroud, bearing the name of the last person to kill him.

Drops can be exchanged for his sword or made into a big fucking trophy for your garden

[broken igloo]

Okay, that's cool

[warm snow]

Oh and chocobo barding

Shit came out in arr but syncs to 60 iirc

It's naaaasty

[outer mural]

there's also a version of his sword for Samurai and Dark Knight from other content at level 70

[warm snow]

It's also white washed /s

[outer mural]

true

[warm snow]

Oh and there's a zantetsuken emote and his horse on the cash shop

Oh wait, no emote I think was from a statue

Idk, I don't remember

[broken igloo]

Impossible, horses don't exist

[warm snow]

Ff14 is a final fantasy fans final fantasy fame

We got fanservice out the ass

it is definitely paid with irl money for the zatetsuken emote

[sturdy rose]

Is it safe to cancel my launcher download and resume it later ?

I am going to sleep soon and eh well i don't feel comfortable leaving it downloading overnight because my country sometimes get power outrages without annoucement

[glossy flare]

Yes and no. The launcher downloads the game as separate files. If you stop it now you will lose any progress on any file that you are currently downloading. Any file you have already finished downloading however be recognized as already done if you resume the download.

So you will likely lose some progress, but not all of it

[sturdy rose]

Ahh i see.

guess i will watch this file download and when it changes name. I will shut it down and go back to sleep

[glossy flare]

there are some pretty big files in there, just FYI

[sturdy rose]

yea ... that's what i am worried about right now. this download file still hadn't changed name yet. it is still H2017

[plucky jewel]

[autumn hedge]

I'm using reduction to get various aethersands from collectibles. Do you get a higher chance of getting aethersand if the item is higher quality or does quality not matter?

[boreal storm]

You get more if the collectibility is higher yes
You should always be raising that

[warm snow]

It's still rng in the end

But collectability will give better odds

[patent citrus]

does Azys La has a weather?

lol

or is it always cloudy?

[warm snow]

Technically yes

But it's always gonna look relatively the sams

Anyone know howmany dungeon i have to do for the anima quest? i delivered the Luminous crystals and have been tasked with doing dungeons while having the weapon i received equiped i was wondering howmany more i have to do before the next step

nvm found it

[sick gazelle]

how do i unlock the spring set from kasumi in the golden saucer, it says she sould sell it but it isnt there :(

[boreal storm]

Do more FR

[strange coral]

You have to keep participating in the fashion report. There's a hidden score total that keeps going up and her wares become unlocked as you gain more.

[boreal storm]

You need to accumulate points

[sick gazelle]

thanks :D

[boreal storm]

I think 600 is the max

[potent sentinel]

Where do I get the purple umbrella?

[sick gazelle]

whats the earliest in the game a free trial user can get a top hat btw?

[strange coral]

Subaquatic Voyages - Rogo-Tumu-Here's Repose, Bladefall Chasm, or Thrall's Unrest

[boreal storm]

Blue mage has a top hat at lvl 50(?)
Not sure about one that all jobs can use

[potent sentinel]

Is it on the mb?

[solemn jewel]

The caster set u get in ishgard msq also has a top hat

[strange coral]

It can be, yes.

[sick gazelle]

oof i am bard :|

[strange coral]

All of the top hats that I know of are for casters or healers

[solemn jewel]

You also just missed the clowns hat

That was a tophat as well

[drowsy hornet]

why dafaq doesn't the stupid square enix site remember my card. Each time I try to subscibe it wants me to add it again. Takes 1 GBP to test it and there's no change to my subsctibtion status

[solemn jewel]

did u register the card as ur payment method?

[pure zenith]

yeah remembering the card is opt in not opt out

[warm snow]

Normally people would be happier third party sites aren't keeping their payment information

[pure zenith]

which is great for me

[solemn jewel]

down on mogstation

[drowsy hornet]

is there a correct magial sequence of events that I need to go through so it will allow me to pay

[solemn jewel]

do u currently still have gametime

[fringe bone]

I have a question, im trying to get a pair of Sandungs its a complete anima weapon how do i get this? do i keep going the path of the quest line and keep doing what it says?

[glossy flare]

pretty much, yes

[drowsy hornet]

No, I never have. My 30 days from purchasing it ran out

[solemn jewel]

ye just do the weapon steps

[drowsy hornet]

I am on the mogstation, I click to update my subsctiption plan, it sends me to the page to add a card. I do it It wants to take and return 1 GBP to confirm the card is valid.. I authenticate the 1 GBP through my bank app.
And I am magically backl tp where I started with no change to my subsciption plan

[solemn jewel]

have u considered giving it a bit of time

[drowsy hornet]

how's 20 minutes

it even never asked for the subsctiption money for the plan I chose.

just wants to add a payment method ad infinitum

[warm snow]

That's... What registering your payment method does

You then use registed method to buy game time

[drowsy hornet]

no

it shoudl

if I go to change my plan it wants to enter a card again

I guess the third time is the charm

¯_(ツ)_/¯

it still refuses to remember my card and wants 1 GBP to confirm every time, but this time my plan updated

[pure copper]

so im starting to use pots for p2s...is there some delay u have ot wait for after a weaponskill? seems it doenst queue nicely

[narrow jay]

There's an animation lock, yes.

[pure copper]

i noticed theres the animation lock once u use the pot, but before it as well?

[remote lintel]

no

you just have to spam it like sprint

[pure copper]

ah

[narrow jay]

I've had zero issues single-weaving it without needing to spam it, myself.

[remote lintel]

since it has a longer animation lock ive had to spam it sometimes

same with sprint

but with noclippy its not too bad

[narrow jay]

But I also could be handling it differently since I only single-weave with it, meaning I likely delay a fraction of a second longer into the weave window before hitting it.

[warm snow]

You can't double weave with it

Full stop

[narrow jay]

Yep, I'm hitting it really late in the window.

[sturdy rose]

can i become a dancer even if i hadn't reached shadowbringer ?

[strange coral]

If you're level 60 on another job, yes

[heavy wadi]

you need to own shadowbringers, though.

[finite barn]

I've finally caught up to the MSQ, and that's essentially all I've done so far. If I want to get into raiding/group content, what are my next steps?

[boreal storm]

Unlock pandemonium/agalia

Do EXs if you want

[remote lintel]

do EX 3 first

well eh p1s is easy enough

just do them both

[finite barn]

wait

[remote lintel]

also meld and get food

[finite barn]

whats EX?

[crystal bluff]

I found ex3 to be harder than p1s lol

[remote lintel]

extreme

[boreal storm]

Wait have you only done story?

[crystal bluff]

Extreeme trials
Basically the story trial duties but beefed up

[remote lintel]

minstrels ballad stuff is EX

you unlock it from the minstrel in sharlayan

[finite barn]

ok let me go try to unlock them

[remote lintel]

and meld your gear and get HQ food

doing endgame content without those is almost like griefing

[finite barn]

right now i have all classical gear

the level 90 one

[boreal storm]

Augment it

[gilded token]

eh do i have to do new game+ to see the new cape westwind cutscene and stuff

[remote lintel]

also make sure youre doing your correct opener and rotation

[gilded token]

or my journey should have updated automatically

[boreal storm]

NG+, because solo duty

[finite barn]

i cant seem to find sharlayan on my teleport list

[quaint urchin]

hi just wondering how can i play with a friend if we're both using the free trial version?

[boreal storm]

Other section

[finite barn]

old sharlayan

I it

is it the quest " i wondered sharlayan as a minstrel" ?

[remote lintel]

just talk to the minstrel guy and he has the options to unlock them

[boreal storm]

Seeing how the npc is a wandering minstrel

[storm zenith]

the box symbol, what does it mean ?

[boreal storm]

It’s a collectible

You can click on the name and it will open the page that tells you where its from

[robust magnet]

Random question but on the community finder it commonly lists 2 different active members for FC...which one is correct?

[robust magnet]

Weaver, as mentioned you can click the blue name to open the wiki page.

[strange coral]

One is set by the recruiter. The other is the actual number of players in the FC.

[robust magnet]

I see, the top one is the recruiter?

it tends to be the smaller number

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

guys where can i buy highest quality of armors and weapones lvl 600 are there people selling it etc?

[boreal storm]

i have to craft then?

[boreal storm]

You either upgrade radiant or do savage

The Kugane clipping was fixxed, right?

[storm zenith]

when i try to synthesize this thing its supposed to kneel and start doing its thing, but it does nothing like nothing happend, although i have the materials and craftsmanship above the recommended and no text popping saying that there is something wrong.

[boreal storm]

You can’t quick synth if that’s what you were trying

[storm zenith]

ik but im clicking the yellow button

i noticed that this behaviour only show when its either a "collectible" or a level 20 recipe

everything else works fine

[strange coral]

Have you done the quest Inscrutable Tastes to unlock the collectible system?

[storm zenith]

lemme check

[storm zenith]

nope i didnt

[regal pawn]

well there you go

[storm zenith]

i just did the quest

the problem remains

: /

thank you guys anyways

[strange coral]

The only other thing I can think of is did you unlock Ishgard restoration? Since that's where that collectable is used.

[lethal ivy]

Collectible*

[storm zenith]

Im out the home rn i’ll check the ishgard restoration, although i think i unlocked it

btw ex in before shb don't have enrage?

guys when i do "leveling" i only get 700 company seals not 3000 , am i doing something wrong ?

Not the roulette bonus

[cobalt marsh]

for bard players: is it better to use apex arrow when your song gauge thing is at 100 or whenever you can use it?

[faint flare]

Use it every 60s

[cobalt marsh]

for why

[small glen]

oh thank you

[faint flare]

What's the best time to use Apex Arrow?

Ideally, you want to treat it as a pseudo-60s cooldown so that every other one lands in buffs.

At around 21-19s left in Mage's Ballad, fire it off so long as you have 80 gauge or more. If you get 100 gauge earlier than that, you can Apex then too.

Then, hold on to it until all of your 2-minute buffs are up in Wanderer's Minuet. Even if it hits 100 well in advance of this, just sit on it. It's not worth throwing the timing off.

if you're on PC you could just mod it though

[fringe lotus]

For the anima weapon quests that require me to run dungeons, do I need to equip the weapon the whole run or just when i queue up/exit?

[green grail]

i think you only need it for the final boss

[outer mural]

^
put it on before you fight the final boss of each dungeon

[lethal ivy]

Or if you are way above the level, you could even just unsync

Just because someone else is wrong doesn't mean I'm wrong

[strange coral]

You pinged me just to correct my spelling, when it wasn't wrong to begin with, and when it wasn't necessary even if it was wrong because we all new what I was saying anyway.

[lethal ivy]

It is the wrong way to spell collectible though, but this is a dumb argument

[strange coral]

Either way is correct

[last kayak]

Do the people that win the weapon design contest actually see their designs in game? Or is it just an art showing contest but they dont get turned into real skins?

[solemn jewel]

They will become weapons

[narrow jay]

...we have decided to select two grand prize winners for each job with both planned to be implemented in-game in the future!

[last kayak]

wow, nice, that MNK weapon is endgame glam

[eternal wedge]

someone know how get fast 255 control plz ?

[boreal storm]

Wear crafting gear

[green grail]

it can be next patch or in 5 years though, they are still adding content from hairstyle design contest that took place in ARR iirc

[eternal wedge]

yeah but i don't find the max i find is 225

[finite barn]

this might be a super noob question

but where do i get a retainer so i can sell items

[remote lintel]

retainer vocate in the marketplace

[finite barn]

wym?

this is what i get when i try using a summoning bell

[cyan gorge]

Hello! How would I change my server from primal to crystal if I'm making a new character?

[faint flare]

Retainer vocate

Not Summoning bell

Retainer vocate

[jovial quarry]

Here’s the vocate in Ul’dah

[faint flare]

They're marked on the map

[finite barn]

oh there's an actual npc called retainer vocate

gotcha

thanks guys

[strange coral]

When you start the game after login, use the Datacenter option on the main menu

[cyan gorge]

Gotcha

[finite barn]

So I hire one and then i can use a summoning bell for it?

[last kayak]

was the weapon design contest from before EW launched or something? No weapon skins for new classes?

[strange coral]

Yes, unless you are on the free trial.

[jovial quarry]

Correct. It was opened before the expansion launched last year. They will, however, hold another contest for just reaper and sage weapons in the future at an unannounced date

[scarlet harbor]

when does the dragoon questline start canonically? im "meeting" Estinien for the "first time" in the msq and it's throwing me off

[boreal storm]

In ARR, it’s lvl 30

[scarlet harbor]

right but im also getting "introduced" to him in the ishgardian conflict with the dravanians. im like one patch away from heavensward

[last kayak]

did you finish all the lvl 50 DRG quests?

[scarlet harbor]

yes. so ive met him already. "meeting" him in the msq is throwing things off

[faint flare]

Job quests were first

[boreal storm]

It really isn’t throwing anything off tho

[faint flare]

As they were added first

If you finish the 50 quests he mentions meeting you before

As a small nod

[scarlet harbor]

actually, i just played through the msq cutscene a bit more. they covered for it 😂

[scarlet harbor]

exactly this

if anyones curious. my characters name is rex btw

[strange coral]

It actually changes if you've done the level 30 quest but not the level 50 quest too.

[last kayak]

He calls you a shite-eatin greenhorn if you are exactly level 36.

and he'll refer to you as a barbarous numb-bottom if you hit 50 but didnt unlock DFD

[orchid moon]

guys how the loot system actually works?

there is
need
greed
and pass

[warm snow]

Need > Greed

[boreal storm]

You roll, big number wins

[warm snow]

can only need if it matches your current job

[orchid moon]

what number

[warm snow]

bigger number

click need/greed

[obsidian patio]

1-99

[orchid moon]

i do that but i dont get the item

[warm snow]

game rolls number

if multiple needs, higher need wins

[boreal storm]

Because you didn’t get biggest number

[warm snow]

Read your chat log

it lists the numbers

[orchid moon]

so when you click on an option there is a number of 1 to 99

[warm snow]

it's random

of course not

[orchid moon]

if you get a lower number you lose the item?

[faint flare]

If your number isn't the highest

[boreal storm]

If you don’t win, you lose. That’s correct

[orchid moon]

....

uh...

[faint flare]

Highest roll wins, need beats greed

It's very simple

[boreal storm]

It really isn’t that complicated

[orchid moon]

how do you see if it is a high roll

[faint flare]

It says

[boreal storm]

.

[faint flare]

When you roll

[orchid moon]

i dont even know there is high rolls wtf

[faint flare]

On the item

[obsidian patio]

The range is from 1 to 99 for rolling on items

[faint flare]

The number is shown on the item when you roll

And also appears in the chat log

[orchid moon]

yes

i saw that

[faint flare]

That's your roll

For the item

[orchid moon]

but... i dont get the item anyways...

[boreal storm]

Because there’s 3-7 people also rolling

[faint flare]

Cause someone rolled higher

Simple as

[robust crow]

if you greeded on an item and someone else rolled need

you auto lose

[orchid moon]

so it's rng to GET the item

[robust crow]

no matter what

[faint flare]

You're rolling

Ofc it is

[orchid moon]

ohhhh

[obsidian patio]

If someone else is rolling need, yes.

[boreal storm]

Random number. 1-99

[obsidian patio]

But if you’re the only one that can roll need, like for dungeon gear, you always win

[orchid moon]

isee i see

it's rng to get the item between people trying to get the item too

[obsidian patio]

Since people can’t roll need on gear their current class cannot use

[remote lintel]

both need and greed give you a number from 1 - 99

[orchid moon]

kinda bs ngl but it works

[remote lintel]

but if people rolled need then anyone who rolled greed is disqualified

then it compares the numbers between whoever rolled need

[robust crow]

this has been the standard MMORPG loot system since the early 2000s

lmao

[orchid moon]

THIS IS MY FIRST MMO LMAO

[robust crow]

even original WoW back in 2006 or some shit has done it this way

yea well now you know

[ashen adder]

if i reinstall the game on another drive (D->C) do i have to make my settings again or are they account bind?

[obsidian patio]

You might want to back them up on the character select screen

[digital cosmos]

is there a levelling guide in this server? trying to level an alt job

[robust crow]

many settings are client based

even if backing up everything you may still need to reconfigure some things

So, I am trying to write down all the types of content this game has to offer just to organize myself a bit more. I have a bunch written down but I might be missing a couple. Any Ideas?

A Realm Reborn Content

[boreal storm]

Yeah that’s a thing

[stark hawk]

Thanks

[remote lintel]

@stark hawk each expansion has 3 alliance raids, 12 normal raids, and 3-4 optional trials

and optional dungeons

[outer mural]

also the unique side-content

EW has criterion dungeons on top of this normal expectation

[scenic rain]

Hey progressing my Bozjain front quests , how do u group up for delbrum?

[warm snow]

make a party finder

go with 8 ppl

[scenic rain]

What would u select? In the raid section delbrum isn't an option

[outer mural]

you have to talk to sjeros

it's not a thing you use the duty finder for normally

kat's suggestion of making a PF is a good one since it'll be more reliable to have at least a few people
