[urban hollow]

I heard about alexander before, I saw the weapons

is it hard to get nowadays?

[jovial quarry]

Not at all

[boreal storm]

It’s lvl 60

[urban hollow]

😮

I think I might just do that for my ast.

OH

and now that I'm here

[remote lintel]

youll need more people depending which one youre doing

[urban hollow]

Might as well ask.. its been 2 years since Ive played. I logged in and played AST... everything is different?

[boreal storm]

Of course

[urban hollow]

Do the cards now give more damage to anyone? like do all the cards have the same effect? I read them and they all give more dmg

[boreal storm]

Just read your tool tips, watch an up to date guide

[remote lintel]

the cards all do the same thing

just put them on the right roles

[urban hollow]

will take a look, thanks!

[dire prawn]

@obsidian patio I has controller question

[jovial quarry]

Shoot. I may be able to answer.

[dire prawn]

So you know the extended hotbar you can do by double-tapping triggers

[jovial quarry]

[dire prawn]

Can I flip the buttons for double-tap L2 so buttons are on the left and d-pad is on the right?

Cause it looks fucking weird to my OCD brain

[remote lintel]

not sure if you can specifically do that for the 2nd hotbar

[jovial quarry]

As far as I know, no. It'll only allow the four shape buttons or all 8 face buttons. Won't selectively pick for each side.

[remote lintel]

i only know it affects both hotbars

actually you probably can in the drop down menu but im not in game

itll say "hotbar X - left"

and vice versa

oh wait that doesnt affect the buttons

nevermind

[frail fulcrum]

why is my ninja not doing tumbling jumps anymore?

[remote lintel]

are you rogue

[frail fulcrum]

ninja

[jovial quarry]

Also they'll only do the flip if you have your weapons drawn

[frail fulcrum]

oh cool thanks

[outer mural]

did you just upgrade into ninja btw

[frail fulcrum]

Im already lv 50 nin

[outer mural]

or was weapon swap the answer

okay yeah gotcha

[stuck kayak]

Hello, I’m going through my first ARR relic, and I keep seeing references to 2 hour bonuses what exactly is that referring to?

[boreal storm]

Nothing worth chasing
Every 2 hours a different duty gives bonus light, you have no idea what duty it is unless you complete the specific one

[stuck kayak]

Well I’m vaguely sad then, when I hit that step Aurum Vale was giving blinding then it dropped to brilliant after 2 runs

I thought I was doing something wrong to cause the drop

What’s the fastest completion method? I saw a few different posts listing different methods like A9S, Brayflox hard, or Aurum vale,

[umbral dune]

A9S and brayflox hard are for anima, are you sure you're looking at the right guide?

[dire prawn]

Me: DRG
My healer: AST
Also my healer: has more aggro on the boss than me

How

[stuck kayak]

Thank you I was being an idiot and had anima light grind up from last night when I did Aettir, I found the correct guide now.

[umbral dune]

overheal generate aggro much faster than the amount of dps your DRG can diss out

[dire prawn]

Time to switch to MNK then

[stuck kayak]

Overheal threat is going to outpace most DPS unless somethings changed

[umbral dune]

not enough bro, the more dude he heals (aoe heal), the more he outpaces you cus there is only 1 boss while at least 4 party member to receive the healing

[dire prawn]

[wanton harness]

i need help deciding between ninja and samurai

i used to play and i preferred the ninjas gcd speed but i heard you can decrease the samurai one

[little swift]

!buff fuka

[zinc orbit]

**Fuka**

Weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay are reduced.

Powered by XIVAPI

[little swift]

yes samurai has that as well

samurai/monk/ninja all have inherently lower gcds

monk because of greased lightning

ninja because of huton

[wanton harness]

i played in 70 cap

[little swift]

samurai because of shifu

[wanton harness]

ninjas was way faster than samurais

[little swift]

that can be impacted by your skill speed on your gear

you could have had way more than you needed on your ninja gear

and that would have decreased your gcd

more skill speed isn't necessarily always good though

because you trade that in favour of more powerful substats like crit

[wanton harness]

i found ninja more fun but i want to do more damage

thats the dilemma im having

[little swift]

ninja does good damage

[wanton harness]

how much % less compared to samurai

[little swift]

not significant enough of an amount to matter

[gritty oracle]

EW spoilers ||There’s no time when we are left alone in the dynamis pocket dimension, right? It’s the dungeon into cutscene into immediately the final 1v1 into cutscene into Sharlayan iirc, but just wanted to confirm||

[narrow jay]

Recommend #archived-lore-spoilers for that question honestly

better discussion point for them.

[brave ivy]

only enough for top tier raiders to care about tbh

[narrow jay]

Bear in mind, by "top tier raiders", Ethos doesn't mean just people who like to do high-end endgame content.

They mean that that sort of thing is minutiae that world-first day 1 blind prog ultimate raiders are considering.

[remote lintel]

honestly im pretty sure ninja does a little more dmg than samurai now since they nerfed it

[narrow jay]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[whole torrent]

yo quick question if i dont have endwalker and i download the game and then get endwalker later will i have to download the exspansion or does the download already have endwalker and i just cant access the content

[remote lintel]

you need to download it

[narrow jay]

You will have to download the expansion

[boreal storm]

You have to have an expansion to download the stuff for it

[whole torrent]

damn thats annoying

[wanton harness]

i just want to make sure i can do runs in pugs quickly

how much less does red mage do compared to melee?

[narrow jay]

.

Some, but not by any factor one would consider materially significant.

A good red mage is leagues better to have than a shit samurai.

if you have a mediocre one of each, then the fact that they're both mediocre makes more of a difference.

If both are really good, then again it doesn't matter, you'll get the clear.

[wanton harness]

thanks

[little swift]

in rdps maybe but not adps

but again not significant

[sudden dock]

if i'm capped on astronomy tomes, will my weekly limit still go up if i do duties, etc?

[little swift]

no if you're capped for the week, you're capped

gotta wait until next week to get more

[sudden dock]

i mean like if i'm capped 2000/2000 and my weekly is still 120/450

will my weekly go to like 160/450

[little swift]

spend them and you can earn more

[leaden ginkgo]

how many people did beat new ultimate

[solemn jewel]

1 Group so far iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

is there a clip

[solemn jewel]

Don't think they released anything yet

[leaden ginkgo]

ty

[glossy flare]

They hinted at waiting until 1 or more group has cleared before they release a vod of their clear

So the achievement of the runner ups is not called into question

[barren granite]

what is this on bottom right of screen ?

like refresh what ?

[green grail]

it's from some nvidia overlay

[barren granite]

hm rlly? its new.

for me

thanks Vis

[green vapor]

I'll ask here coz I fear looking stupid on The Balance. Does MNK always have to lateweave Riddle of Fire? Even on 1.93 GCD?

[patent citrus]

What's lateweave?

And isn't 1.93 too fast?

The faster you hit, the less likely you'll be able to double weave

[warm snow]

If your gcd is below 2.1 you can't double weave without clipping

[alpine shadow]

you can get into nvidia overlay by Alt + Z, and disable it if you don't like it there

[green vapor]

But the optimal opener for Mnk does doubleweave at 1.93

[warm snow]

Ask the balance then

[green vapor]

and still, regardless of the double weave, https://i.imgur.com/srvYnTD.png

[karmic niche]

where do i buy the invisible accessories?

[green vapor]

Riddle of Fire is weaved in the latter half

[autumn anvil]

Mor Dhona.

[green vapor]

but that do be on 1.94

[solemn jewel]

Isn't it in Vesper Bay?

[karmic niche]

wait is not in horizon anymore?/

[remote lintel]

i havent seen anything about late weaving rof

[warm snow]

Mor dhona

[karmic niche]

they changed?

lol

[warm snow]

Ask the balance then

[autumn anvil]

Maybe as well? I've always bought them in Revenant's Toll.

[solemn jewel]

Both were right

[warm snow]

Unlocked from unlocking glams in vesper

[karmic niche]

thx

[nova umbra]

when can we do the housing lottery again?..

[solemn jewel]

#lodestone-news-na had posts about ut

[nova umbra]

ah.. may 16... :c

[junior ruin]

so im a lvl 51 black mage with a lvl 70 staff is it worth me buying the lvl 130 staff this vendor is selling for the tomes?

[warm snow]

Yes

[autumn anvil]

Absolutely.

[warm snow]

Your ilevel 70 staff is garbage in comparison

Almost literally half the stats

[patent citrus]

For poetics, just buy weapon first yeah

[junior ruin]

oh and all i see is lvl 130 gear is there a specific thing i gotta do to unlock 200+?

[patent citrus]

This applies to any poetics

[junior ruin]

i learned that from lost ark lmao

[patent citrus]

Lost Ark has nothing to do with it

[autumn anvil]

Yeah, finish the 3.0 HW story.

[patent citrus]

It's different game

[junior ruin]

ohhh

[patent citrus]

Weapon > accessories

[junior ruin]

i meant that as in because lost ark i upgrade my weapon first before my armor

[patent citrus]

Usually

Since accessories is the cheapest to upgrade your ilvl

[junior ruin]

so i learned from lsot ark to focus on your weapon first

[autumn anvil]

You unlock the higher tiers of poetic gear when you complete the main story for each expansion. There will be a small blue quest pointing you there.

[junior ruin]

0hh ok

[warm snow]

Just because this one case is the same does not mean you should apply "lost ar knowledge" to anything else

[patent citrus]

And LV <50 accessories is just too low ilvl

[junior ruin]

well my armor is alraedy lvl 90 rn

[vestal narwhal]

Hi super new to the game, how come there’s a green bar filling up my leveling up bar? It’s usually clear not having that green

!faq restedexp

[zinc orbit]

Rested Experience FAQ

'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'

That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.

'How much of a boost is it?'

The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.

[steady coral]

err, stuck on "passing muster". missing a helmet slot. where can i find one?

[solemn jewel]

There's usually a vendor right next to them

Just buy a hat

[junior ruin]

oh and as far as stats go what stats should i focus for black mage?

like vitality and crit and stuff

[patent citrus]

Higher ilvl

[vestal narwhal]

Sooo is it something I don’t really gotta worry about? It’s a automatic thing?

[patent citrus]

For your level

[solemn jewel]

Just focus on higher weapon dmg and ilvl

[autumn anvil]

You can also pick one up from your level 5 job quest if you haven't done that already. (you should!)

[solemn jewel]

Stats only start mattering at cap when it comes to bis

[junior ruin]

ohh ok

[steady coral]

@autumn anvilunfortunately i picked chest piece. thought i already had a helmet, made a mistake

[autumn anvil]

In each case, yeah, there should be a vendor nearby where you can buy one. Eyepatches are also helmets. 🙂

[vagrant cairn]

alright so I think I might be a little screwed over here

[warm snow]

Any kind of head equipment

[karmic niche]

wtf they not selling the emperor new rings anymore?

[patent citrus]

They still

[warm snow]

Go to the accessories tab

[karmic niche]

wait do i need to level a crafter to get it?

[warm snow]

Go to the mb if it bothers you that much

[steady coral]

@autumn anvil@solemn jewelthanks for helping this noob .-.

[vagrant cairn]

I'm from the west coast US, and I moved to Japan last month, only planning to stay here for like 1-3 years

And I finally bought the game and Endwalker, since I'm nearing the end of Heavensward

but I can't activate the codes on my account because I bought them on the Japanese Steam store and there does not seem to be any possible way whatsoever to change your Square account region and I would have to make a new account and lose my 85 hours of free trial progress to activate it

[karmic niche]

well it does bother me but i wont touch mb for an item that cost 31g

[warm snow]

Yeah codes are region locked, you could vpn and buy from us steam

[autumn anvil]

All you need is to be level 15 and unlock glamours. Are you looking at the right vendors?

[warm snow]

Or contact steam and see if they'll replace them but I doubt it

[karmic niche]

yeah, i dont need to do the lvl 15 crafter glamour quest right?>

or i need that too now?>

[vestal narwhal]

What does cp+ do? See it on a necklace

[autumn anvil]

That just unlocks clear prisms for sale IIRC.

Crafting points - basically mana for crafters.

[vagrant cairn]

so it seems my only option is to hope Steam gives me a refund and then hop back over to the US Steam store and pay on my American credit card, and also pay my subscription on my American card for the whole time I'm in Japan
but then I'm like is it even worth, because my salary is in JPY (and not particularly good lol) and I'm gonna have to be transferring money back home just to pay this, and after transfer fees and currency conversion and regional price differences I'm basically playing the game at like 130%+ its normal price

[karmic niche]

the hell... i am confuse lol

[vagrant cairn]

is there really no other way? Like anything I can do to keep my account and progress without having to pay a bunch extra to keep playing?

[vestal narwhal]

I’m a warrior class so should I be focusing on strength and defense when buying accessories?

[narrow jay]

Strength is your primary stat of concern, yes.

Defense will take care of itself for the most part.

[autumn anvil]

Pretty much strength is the only stat that matters at low levels. (for warriors) As long as it has that, it's probably good.

[vestal narwhal]

ty!

[autumn anvil]

Accessories will be pretty few and far between until level 50 though, so don't worry too much about them.

[narrow jay]

Honestly, if it's a significant financial load to do all that, it might be worth considering taking a hiatus from the game while you're expatriated. The content won't be going anywhere, and the devs really dislike fear-of-missing-out so catching up is fairly simple aside from knocking out the MSQ in between.

[junior ruin]

also i wanted to buy a lvl boost to 60 since ive already played 60 but the boost takes me all the way to 80 >->

[autumn anvil]

Level isn't the biggest timesink - you would want a story skip.

[narrow jay]

And the level won't matter, the game will sync you to its content level all the way through.

[junior ruin]

but black mage go boom

[narrow jay]

So you could be 80, but because of MSQ progress you'd only have access to MSQ-level-appropriate gear and skills.

[patent citrus]

yeah your job level doesn't really matter much

cause you'll be sync'd down to the MSQ level

[junior ruin]

fak

[patent citrus]

in fact being a lv 80, will make things too easy and sometimes people don't like that

[narrow jay]

i.e. in a lv67 dungeon you wouldn't have access to any level 71+ skills regardless of how they're acquired

[warm snow]

You really just have to get the expansions from the na region on steam. After that everything should be fine.

[narrow jay]

And since most of your stats come from your gear, being "overleveled" doesn't really do much aside from expand your kit.

[patent citrus]

but BLM level boost is probably the most popular (no citation), cause the job rotation changes quite dramatically every 10 levels

[warm snow]

@junior ruin the truth is your level means sweet fuck all

[patent citrus]

talking about

!faq blmleveling

[zinc orbit]

THM/BLM Leveling Rotations

Image URL: https://i.imgur.com/rax8gpG.png

[warm snow]

It's all about your msq progress

[junior ruin]

i just wanted the lvl 60 because i like the abilities at that lvl

[patent citrus]

I'm the BLM in my static atm, and yeah I'm not running roulettes with it

[warm snow]

Well you can't even use them til you're in hw even if you were level 60

[autumn anvil]

So this is not about a new character, but just a new job for your current char?

[warm snow]

AND most of them are locked behind job quests

[raw granite]

do ehcatl nine deliveries give you reputation at any point ?

[autumn anvil]

At all points.

But only once a day, for the specific delivery daily quest.

[raw granite]

makes sense

does it give more rep than the other quests ?

[autumn anvil]

Yep!

[raw granite]

aight thanks

[autumn anvil]

It gives 70 all the way through where the other quests give 20-50.

[gilded forge]

Does the rendition of balamb garden exist as an orchestrion roll anywhere? (it's the music that plays at the end of the eden quest line)

[obsidian patio]

Nope

[gilded forge]

Uninstalling

[limber walrus]

Yo just finished the main story of EW, want to get into crafting and gathering again (it's been a while), are leve quests and scrips still the best way to level up from 80 to 90 gatherers?

[twilit arch]

yes

[limber walrus]

Thanks

Trying to get the special books for botanist

[solemn jewel]

Studium quests also help a lot

[limber walrus]

Oh?

Like at old sharlayan?

[solemn jewel]

Yea!
You can't do em on all the crafter's but it's free exp and scrips

It's like the crystarium deliveries in shb

[limber walrus]

Thanks for the tip

Assuming diadem is no good for leveling now right

[solemn jewel]

Not really.
There's 1 Studium thing for gatherers too

[limber walrus]

Oh gotcha I'll check it out

[cold pelican]

What job/class is the one that holds a giant axe?

[autumn anvil]

Marauder/Warrior.

[rigid steppe]

I've bought the endwalker, and unlocked the level cap. but i still can't play the quest " Way of the samurai" I'm level 60 on DRK PLD GLA

[hot eagle]

tried to restart your game allrdy?

[rigid steppe]

Yes.

Twice.

Will do it again now third time.

I tried running it on the alternative launcher from github

[spiral mango]

can someone bring up the costs in eu

for sub

[rigid steppe]

maybe bcs of that

[spiral mango]

with the bot command

[hot eagle]

!faq subpriceeu

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

90 days/3 months = £25.17 / €35.97
180 days/6 months = £46.14 / €65.94

[warm snow]

Did you redeem the code on mogstation?

[rigid steppe]

I did.

[spiral mango]

ty ty ❤️

[rigid steppe]

It's probably bcs of this

[vapid stream]

Does anyone know when the weapon design contest weapons are gonna be added into the game?

[twilit arch]

probably not til next year

but like its hard to say given we don't know if they're going to add all of them at once

or over the course of the expac or what

so can't really say with any certainty

[warm snow]

When they're added to the game

There is absolutely no pattern

So it'll be completely arbitrary

Definitely don't expect them any time soon

[umbral dune]

did the launcher download content when you log in (at least 10gb for EW)?

[rigid steppe]

No

[rigid steppe]

Bcs I'm not using the offical launcher

[umbral dune]

what is the size of your FF14 folder (where you install it)

[rigid steppe]

I've opened it up now

It's downloading 27gb

Endwalker update i guess

[warm snow]

With Endwalker it has to download ALL the zones, voice acting, cutscenes, bosses, dungeons etc etc that you just bought

[umbral dune]

there is your SAM, cus you need addition data to play it (which i think you just own both SB and ShB as well)

[warm snow]

The enabler for Sam is gonna be in that mess

[rigid steppe]

Yeah when you buy latest expansion you buy every prior expansions as well

[vapid stream]

And when do relic weapons get added into the game?

[warm snow]

Also arbitrary

Probably 6.25 for ew based on the latest roadmap

[vapid stream]

So I guess in 3-4 months

[warm snow]

That's basically 5 months away

Give or take

We're in 6.11

And 6.11 only exists because of ultimate

So pretty much just 3 weeks after 6.1

It's was also just golden week in jp so wouldn't be surprised if its an extra week til 6.2

[bronze verge]

yall know how to change channels in game? (channels as in servers)

[spiral mango]

which job is the most similar to naruto ?

like ninja? with weaving signs and shit

[green grail]

..probably ninja

[twilit arch]

i don't recall anything in the roadmap saying it would be 6.25 for relics...

and tbh .25 would be super fucking late

[warm snow]

Upgradable weapons or smth like that

I can't remember the exact wording

[twilit arch]

was simply listed under 6.2

[vapid stream]

Based on other expacs when do relics usually get added?

[twilit arch]

not a specific .xx

[warm snow]

Arbitrary

[twilit arch]

and its usually in .x1

[warm snow]

Base game in arr, pretty damn early in hw, technically from 4.0 in sb

[vapid stream]

And I guess we're gonna have a Bozja like area for the 6.0 relic when it drops

[warm snow]

Technically 5.1 in ShB iirc

[warm snow]

Looking like no

0 mention of exploration zones in roadmap

[twilit arch]

so im not sure why you specified a minor patch

when the road map simply list it at 6.2

[warm snow]

Could have sworn it was 6.25

Probably misremembering

[twilit arch]

makes no sense for it to be so late

in a patch cycle

[warm snow]

I mean bozja didn't start for real til like what 5.25?

Nope, 5.35

Even worse

[vapid stream]

Would be cool if they did that tho

Liked Bozja

Especially the gear

Looked cool

[twilit arch]

Either way

we don't have a specific minor patch for it

[warm snow]

Considering new deep dungeon and new "criterion dungeons" unlikely

[twilit arch]

just most like sometime 6.2

[warm snow]

We no Jack about criterions so far

[vapid stream]

Maybe criterion dungeon is a replacement?

[warm snow]

Possible, but it's not gonna be anything like bozja or eureka

[twilit arch]

we have no info really on what its going to be

[vapid stream]

I guess you get materials to upgrade your relic from that dungeon if they are doing that

Idk im just guessing

[warm snow]

If it was gonna be anything like bozja or eureka they'd probably have said

Bozja relics started in 5.25 with the Bozja invident

Just went to double check

So yeah absolutely no real pattern

[twilit arch]

actually no

there is a pattern

it is usually .x5

so

i was misremembering myself

[warm snow]

Anemos was 4.25 in sb to start progging and the base was your af weapon from 4.0, hw was 3.15 and arr was 2.0, at least starting out

[twilit arch]

main change that has shifted over the years is no longer being .1

ARR doesnt really count

given it was carrying over from 1.0

[warm snow]

Yeahhhh

Arr jank af

[warm snow]

That does suggest 6.25,but I digress

For all we know what we get in 6.2 might just be the bozja incident equivalent where we just get the base weapon basically for free

[twilit arch]

given they shook things up with this patch and how things were released, given both custom deliveries and beast tribes are delayed

things may go differently this time

[warm snow]

So yeah back to OG answer: arbitrary af

[bronze verge]

how to summon a minion?

[solemn jewel]

Character -> minion guide i think

[leaden ginkgo]

there's a character tab and minion guide, yes

[bronze verge]

yeye got it :D

ty

[leaden ginkgo]

just right click on any minions you have and summon

[solemn jewel]

You first need to use the item in the inventory just fyi

[bronze verge]

another question

hyow tf do i get to la noscea

[solemn jewel]

Msq

[bronze verge]

?

whats msq

[twilit arch]

need airship access to get there

msq= main scenario quest

[bronze verge]

i was just there. dam it. Thanks guys im stupid lol

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah, well there's more to it

La Noscea is the general region

Limsa Lominsa is the city

[bronze verge]

aH

im here in limsa where i go

[leaden ginkgo]

well first attune to any aetheryte you have in the city so you can teleport back

if you attune to all aethernets in the city, you also get teleport options to the nearby areas

[bronze verge]

ahh ok

[twilit arch]

specifically attune to the big aetheryte in the middle of the city

[leaden ginkgo]

well

[twilit arch]

to be able to teleport back to limsa since the aethernet shards cannot be teleported to outside of the city

[leaden ginkgo]

Aetheryte =/= Aethernet

[twilit arch]

but still attune to the shards so you can move around the city easily

[bronze verge]

gotchu

i actually found it <3

[north venture]

Yo, I heard about the Transmog thingy and i have a question, as soon as I get any piece of equipment in my armoury, that means it's now saved in my transmog database even if I sell the piece?

[twilit arch]

no

you need to keep the item, whether its in your retainer, glamour dresser, or armoire, to be able to use it for glam

[north venture]

oh I see, can I keep it in bank?

[twilit arch]

that is one of the things i listed, yes

[north venture]

ok thanks Kael

folks, I can't find the invisible Emperor's new fists at this man store, I looked it up and he supposed to be selling it but I can't find it

[twilit arch]

he only sells it if you've completed the quest "absolutely glamourous" which requires a lvl15 crafter

[north venture]

oh I see

thanks

[whole ember]

accidentally unbound the X key on my keyboard off the function that ignores targeting players to target objects etc....does anyone know what this option is called/where it is so i could rebind it?

[warm snow]

@north venture there is transmog database

And likely never will be one

[twilit arch]

target filter @whole ember

[whole ember]

ty very much

[umbral dune]

also relate to that, when i go fishing, i just want to hide everything, any other way than just hold the target filter?

power comparison between your own skill, so dont even try to compare different job

so your skill say 200 potency, it will deal double damage/healing than one with 100 potency

[leaden ginkgo]

thxc

[umbral dune]

for damaging (which is like the most important aspect of this game in combat), potency is used to determine when you use single target skill and aoe skill, so 350 pot to 1 target still be more value than hitting 3 targets each 100 pot (300 total)

[rain flower]

should i do this even though im in heavensward post patch? https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Relic_Weapons/Quest

[narrow jay]

More simply, it's just a base damage value relative to the rest of the skills in your kit. There's a more complex calculation that's going on behind the scenes, but SE wants to keep hit hidden—they do this with a lot of their calculations and RNG elements, including item drop rates and, formerly, housing sale timers—so they only give you the base scale value for comparison.

[twilit arch]

strongly recommend no

[glossy flare]

Not unless you really want the weapons for glam

[twilit arch]

as its a huge time sink

[glossy flare]

It's a huge grind

[twilit arch]

and much easier to do when you're max level and very bored

[narrow jay]

You can if you want. All past-expansion relics are purely for glamour, and it's a long grind, so if you want the weapon stats ... you'll outgrow it long before you finish it.

when i clear savage raid for the week if i don’t roll for a chest do i still lose eligibility for other chests if i clear again?

Hmm guys which melee dps is the most simple to play ? I usually play warrior or pally so my rotation is simple

Or at the very least, easy to recover from screwing up rotation

[sick gazelle]

what can i do with Fortune Eggs, i apparently have 10

[twilit arch]

toss them

event is over

[sick gazelle]

ow

[narrow jay]

Reaper is the most easily approachable, with Dragoon fairly close behind it. But you'll need to have a character at 70 (and own Endwalker) before you can access Reaper, and Dragoon very early on will feel horrendously slow-paced, so bear that in mind.

[warped nest]

Samurai is probably not too bad too tbh

[narrow jay]

Samurai is pretty straightforward once you understand the basic flow, and its rotation is fairly proscribed. But it's also a bit more rigid than the other two.

Samurai also comes with the caveat of being inaccessible until you get to level 50—assuming, of course, this question comes from the standpoint of a newer player looking to get into the game,

and it isn't simply a discussion topic.

[warped nest]

For a completely fresh player, I agree with lancer/dragoon

[urban isle]

Iirc deployment tactics only spread galvanize, so is there any difference between deploying a recit!adlo and deploying a normal non-crit adlo?

[warped nest]

Yes

Because the crit adlo is more potent

Even when you ignore the catalyze shield

!action adloquium

[zinc orbit]

**Adloquium** : lvl 30 SCH (1000 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)(2.0 second base cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 300
Additional Effect: Grants Galvanize to target, nullifying damage equaling 180 % of the amount of HP restored. When critical HP is restored, also grants Catalyze, nullifying damage equaling 180 % the amount of HP restored.
Duration: 30s
Effect cannot be stacked with certain sage barrier effects.

[warped nest]

Galvanize scale with the heal

So a crit heal affects it too

[urban isle]

Thank you!

[sturdy rose]

Ahh thanks. I already have PLD at 70 so i can access reaper. Just looking for a dps class to learn and main incase i have to switch

[warped nest]

Reaper is pretty fun

[narrow jay]

Yeah, it's pretty well designed tbh. Fairly low entry skill floor, decently high skill ceiling, solid comparative damage output.

Feels really good to play.

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a trade channel here to sell schematics and such?

[urban isle]

Now that afflatus misery is dps neutral, is overcapping on lilies something to avoid? Or is it still ok to overcap it?

[twilit arch]

Misery is now damage neutral, making Rapture and Solace essentially free healing and mobility. In addition to more healing, this also drastically alleviates our MP concerns at max level and allows us to easily run Min-piety sets in savage without issues. In general you should now always try to use 1 Misery in raid buffs and never overcap lilies, even if you don't need the healing or movement.

[urban isle]

Thanks!

question, while checking ping with the eu servers, some packets were lost, but the other were still 70-90 ping

does this mean my connection is unstable, or is it a server problem?

[strange coral]

It's hard to say. Most likely not a server problem if other people on those servers aren't reporting the same issue. It could be an issue on the path between you and the servers.

[river oasis]

Can you get the venture minion with just the required perception?

[verbal rune]

uhm, I see

[river oasis]

Or do tou have higher chance with higher perceprion for dol/doh

[verbal rune]

the game was running fine until it started lagging/freezing, oh, well

[strange coral]

I would reboot all of your things just to rule those out.

I just pinged both EU datacenters for a minute and neither dropped packets.

is it possible to make a macro that swaps actions between hotbars? i want to be able to switch my first hotbar from single target to aoe easily

[modest igloo]

nope

[warm snow]

Technically yes, would not recommend for keyboard setups

[sick gazelle]

i found it

/hotbar action "action" # # then just

[modest igloo]

as long as it doesnt clip the gcd you should be fine

weird, i never found it on my end.

[sand bluff]

Go to desk support ingame then suggestions

[strange coral]

Another way to do it is to have hidden hotbars with the actions already lined up and use the /hotbar copy command to copy from the hidden ones to your active one. But again, this probably doesn't work well while in combat. I have a feeling swapping actions on the fly is going to cause some delays.

[warm snow]

I think they want to keep the same keybinds

[strange coral]

Copy doesn't change the keybinds on the target hotbar, I thought?

[boreal storm]

Shouldn’t

[strange coral]

I've only ever used it for hotbars that I click.

[sick gazelle]

this works, press the circle for AOE, the exclamation mark for single target

[barren granite]

来

[sick gazelle]

wait is there a way to do the /hotbar action thing but instead of actions you change macros?

[faint flare]

No

[boreal storm]

You can’t connect macros

[sick gazelle]

bummer

[faint flare]

Cause that leads to automation

[barren granite]

so we have a JP game, and Bots can be an issue 9according to you0 and so klearning how to say it in the creators of the game language is not relevant ?

mmkay

It's not cause we're not talking to the devs

[barren granite]

no but we do all play the game.

some daily

[boreal storm]

Also the guy we’re talking to wasn’t speaking Japanese

You get nothing

You lose

Good day sir

do all dungeon give out the same type of loot in the same order? like Feet and/or Hand gear from first boss, weapons and chest gear from the last boss and so on with all the chests between?

[vestal narwhal]

Ah okay thanks!

[warm snow]

Roughly yes

[onyx kiln]

are feet gear ealy on or in the middle then?

don't forget chests in-between giving accessories

[faint flare]

Both shoha and oni

so don't think it will be to bad

[faint flare]

3 bars is standard for jobs

[viscid moth]

that seems fine

So with sprint, mount, potion and lb it's actually perfectly full hahaha

[boreal storm]

Why not have those on a shared bar

[viscid moth]

yeah I should really do that across my jobs

My muscle memory will thank me longterm

[night oxide]

how does newgame+ work in ffxiv, do all the quests for the expansion youre replaying just become available to you again

[pure copper]

yeah i have 2 shared hotbars for a few system things, sprint, mount, LB, basic xp food, and a focustarget macro

it really helps lol

though do note if you pvp, youll have to rebind teh class specific LB cuz that doesnt carry over

i think

pretty much just get the story quests you are NG+ ing available again but with no rewards

[night oxide]

gotcha thanks

Anyone here know quite a bit about chocobo raising and or breeding? Want to know if I can make a perfect chocobo with the set I have since its a little bit confusing

[deft lagoon]

When a dungeon or trial (say, Bowl of Embers Hard) gives a level sync but not an item level sync, does that really mean that you get your full gear ilvl no matter how high, and it's only your intrinsic attributes and actions that are reduced to the sync level?

[twilit arch]

no, you're sync to the highest ilvl for that level range

i.e if you're doing a lvl 50 dungeon, you're sync to 130 as that is max ilvl for the lvl

[deft lagoon]

got it, so gear above the poetics gear for that expansion gives no extra?

[twilit arch]

mhm

[sick flint]

how was main scenario roulette reworked?

[twilit arch]

both castrum and prae were shortened, and fights were adjusted

ultima weapon is now its own trial

[deft lagoon]

thank you!

[remote lintel]

and the lahabrea fight isn't part of the duty

[sick flint]

how long do they take now roughly?

[twilit arch]

like 30mins for prae

castrum about 20 or so?

maybe a bit less, havent run it personally myself

[umbral dune]

15-20m

[sick flint]

that sounds way more reasonable than before. thanks

[pure copper]

the xp is adjusted, and theres more combat time/less downtime in both

Skysteel tool quest is right outside of the Firmament yeah

that part is fine, its just that I want to do upper dungeons with SMN but really can't since I don't have the higher tier abilities

[leaden ginkgo]

SCH/SMN is good for later on if you want to complete all role quests quickly because you can get one to expac level cap and the other goes with it.

[oak lily]

lore reasons

[warm snow]

@safe bay everything's locked behind msq progress anyways so ignoring its gonna bite you in the ass past 50

Even unlocking sch and smn in the first place was gated my msq

question! Is there a way to turn off the mining sounds?

[obsidian patio]

Not specifically just mining, no

[kind bison]

Oh okay, I can just turn it off when Im mining then, what is the setting?

[crystal bluff]

Sound effects in sound options if I had to guess

[obsidian patio]

It’s probably the sound effect or ambient sound bar

You can make a macro for it to easily toggle

[kind bison]

Alright thankyou c:

[novel grove]

i do not know how it happened but my action bars are now like a checkered board instead of a top row and bottom row. how do i get it back?

dang it's not sound effects or ambient

I wonder what it is

Probably master sound then, but that would effect everything

RDM’s first relic weapon is resistance (bozja)? No ARR or heavens weapon for RDM?

It had the Stormblood relic weapon first (Eureka)

[devout crystal]

So eureka and then bozja?

[strange coral]

/soundeffectsother 0 should work. I've used it to mute other players' fishing sounds.

[devout crystal]

I dont even know what eureka is but is it harder then bozja to make the relic weapon?

[obsidian patio]

Think of it kinda like a prototype bozja in a sense

Instances zones, need to level up a different level system

[devout crystal]

I see.

[kind bison]

It did worked but on others is there a way to also mute myself? haha

[obsidian patio]

Eureka has the added mechanic of a magia wheel which you can add points to and spin around to decide your “element” when dealing and taking damage to monsters

[kind bison]

also thankyou!! now other ppl can't be heard 🙂

[devout crystal]

Ok. Thx

[strange coral]

/soundeffectsself There's also /soundeffectsparty if needed

[kind bison]

Thankyou very much!

do I also just type the same command to turn off things?

[strange coral]

iirc using them without a number toggles them on and off. Otherwise you need a number (0-100) to set the volume.

[novel grove]

ok, i am a bit nervous . i am almost sure i never changed my action bar to checkers. i just now clicked on the character part and then the keyboard stuff, now what? i am very sorry to ask, but i do not know computers talk

[kind bison]

Oh I was big dumb and use them without numbers I think the numbers are needed

But thankyou tho it worked!! ^^

[obsidian patio]

Is your hotbar back to normal or no?

[novel grove]

no. i found the part you spoke of.

[obsidian patio]

Try character config > hotbar settings > cross > disable crossbar

[novel grove]

i will now

nope.

nope means, now the action bar is gone completely

i am very sorry, i will look,

i use a wireless mouse and wireless keyboard if that means anything

Cuz you queue with the DUTY finder

PARTY finder is a separate menu

[bold falcon]

ah right i havent tried that

just been queuing

[boreal storm]

Nobody queues for EXs period

[bold falcon]

okay thank you!

[hybrid fjord]

Hi! I’m coming back from a fairly long break of the game and wanted to see where I could find what’s the highest dps job 👀

[warm snow]

!faq meta

[zinc orbit]

How FFXIV's Meta Works

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

[warm snow]

The job you're best at

[hybrid fjord]

Bet, thanks

[remote lintel]

if youre good at the game then all jobs are the highest dps job

[warm snow]

A good dancer will out dps a shit samurai

[robust crow]

all that being said, here's the DPS listings for the top 5% of parses

[pure copper]

whats the old reasoning behind DRK aoe/ranged atks being spells

[oak lily]

dark knights traditionally use their life force for attacks

[fringe reef]

xd

[hybrid fjord]

Thanks all 🙌

[pure copper]

ah so it's a lore thing from the other FF games/universe?

[oak lily]

Well

Also, angy and sadge

[green grail]

just look at the animation

its magic init

same as holy spirit

darkness magic edgy aether job they made the aoes look magic so they made them a spell

[novel grove]

Question on camera preference, when i run around and get close to a wall the camera zooms in automatically, is there a way to keep the camera at whatever zoom level i have unless i purposely zoom in or out?

[green grail]

it would have to go into the collision/wall that way so not really

you would either see the wall or into untextured glitchy insides of the world

[novel grove]

ok, thank you

[leaden ginkgo]

if i achieved highest rank in Uldah GC, when changing to Maelstrom i will need to redo the Squadron requirements (5 missions led etc etc)?

[obsidian patio]

No

[leaden ginkgo]

Thx

[wanton harness]

i just bought the level 80 package

how do i start practicing

[obsidian patio]

Read guides and do content, basically

[open coral]

Start by taking everything off your bars and putting it back on while reading the tooltips.

[wanton harness]

where can i do content

[open coral]

If you do even that minimum effort, you should be somewhat okay going into actual dungeons for live-fire practice.

[obsidian patio]

The duty finder

[wanton harness]

aight

ill practice on a dummy first

[celest quartz]

is there a way to make the icons of items on the market board bigger?

[strange coral]

You can right click the window and choose Scale Window to make the whole window bigger

[proper walrus]

Is there any way to take my character to visit another data centre, do i have to make a new character?

[strange coral]

Currently, you'd have to make a new character. Datacenter travel is coming in 6.18 though.

[open coral]

And even then, it will only be within the same region, so you wouldn't be able to go from say, Chaos to Aether

[proper walrus]

So if i am in a European data centre i wouldn't be able to visit an American one?

[twilit arch]

correct

[strange coral]

You can still make characters on any DC though

[silver python]

So I have recently come back to playing and have a 65 Summoner. I am getting more familiar with the changes, however I am still a little confused on how to activate my summons. Do I have to go through Deathwyrme Trance first?

[raven sage]

Yes

Once you finish it unlocks the other summons

[silver python]

Okay that makes sense! Now to just get used to the different spells auto-changing :S

[plucky bone]

guys , someone said i need 10k for the shark mount

do i need those points instantly on the event? or accumulative?

and where do i claim it if so

anyone

[raven sage]

you need 10k points total from a single voyage

and it's an achievement so you would just collect it from the achievement window

[plucky bone]

damn

i barely got 5k today , last time i got 7k tho

how do u get that much?

[faint flare]

Spectral currents + going for bonuses

Spamming double hook during spectral currents is alot of points

Then fill out with bonuses

[plucky bone]

double hook? u mean this?

im just lvl 25 and im free trial yet

[faint flare]

Double hook

At 65

[plucky bone]

oh

not on trait list , is it a quest thingie

[obsidian patio]

It’s an action

!action double hook

[zinc orbit]

**Double Hook** : lvl 65 FSH (400 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Hooks two or more fish in a single cast. Yield is determined by fish type and your gathering rating. Some fish cannot be double hooked.

Powered by XIVAPI

[obsidian patio]

Class quests give it, IIRC

[plucky bone]

Oh!

nice then , guess i have lots of lvling to do , ty

[crystal bluff]

You won't have access to it on the free trial, just a warning

Since you can only go up to level 60

[warm snow]

It's also luck

Since spectral currents etc etc

[clever roost]

these books will give a code still as long as it is a brand new book correct?

[quiet acorn]

In crystal conflict if an enemy team is at 50% and trying to to capture a checkpoint , is simply standing on a check point preventing them for getting it

[narrow jay]

Yes, contesting the crystal stops checkpoint clear progress.

It does not reduce it, however.

[quiet acorn]

AHH makes sense,I expected a deduction

Reduction*

[oak siren]

how do I get Lv80 job armor? I went to gerolt but he only had it for the job that I did msq with, not for any others

[warm snow]

Do your role quests

[twilit arch]

you need to do the appropriate role quest

for the other job AFs to be unlocked on him

[oak siren]

ohh alright

thanks

[warm snow]

*grenoldt

This one has hair

[oak siren]

hahah

[warm snow]

I'm serious

[oak siren]

alternate gerolt

[obsidian patio]

As long as the seller is listed as Square Enix and is new you’ll get the code

[ruby tundra]

The PLD sword Curtana Ultima
i get from Ultima Ultimate, aye?

[faint flare]

Yes

[ruby tundra]

and that i unlock doing all omega Savage, aye?

[faint flare]

Only o8s

[ruby tundra]

oh!
Unsync Ultimates not possible, aye?

[faint flare]

Never

[ruby tundra]

Ty for the answers :>

[faint flare]

That's the point of ultimate

[ruby tundra]

Never did any, so 0 plan 🤷‍♂️

[faint flare]

They are to remain the hardest content in the game

[clever roost]

buying it from their website. thank you!!

[obsidian patio]

Amazon is a trusted seller too as long as you make sure the seller is listed as Square Enix and not someone reselling the book

It’s how I got the ARR art book with the minion code included

[hollow violet]

if doing it for xp, what level does bozja stop being reasonably efficient? Should I leave immediately at 80?

[obsidian patio]

I’d stop at 81 if the dungeon queues are reasonably fast

[boreal storm]

81 at least if you’re gonna go for dungeons

[hollow violet]

thanks!

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there an intro channel here?

[oak lily]

For?

[leaden ginkgo]

People to introduce themselves

To make friends

[oak lily]

Not that I know of, but #beginner-lounge is there

[leaden ginkgo]

Awesome ty

[peak elk]

hey are there anymore unlockable dialogues like for clearing coils for any other content?

[faint flare]

A handful

Various npcs mention and call you differently depending on your progress in various job quests they're related to, your gc rank etc

[leaden ginkgo]

is the free trial not available to people who have bought the game previously ?

[peak elk]

is there like a list somewhere? im mainly concerned with like cleared content dialogue

[boreal storm]

Nope

[peak elk]

like should i finish alexander b4 stormblood?

[faint flare]

Not really, garlandtools can show you differences

[boreal storm]

It really doesn’t matter that much, you can just rewatch the cutscenes or whatever later

[obsidian patio]

Alexander/Omega gets small references in a Shadowbringers dungeon, The Twinning

[faint flare]

And just gives context for stuff

[peak elk]

but it matters to me 😦

[leaden ginkgo]

why can't i find the beast tribe quests for the ixali in north shroud even though I have it unlocked?

[boreal storm]

You see that red quest

[faint flare]

It's the red quest

[warped nest]

It's that red quest

North East of the aetheryte

[faint flare]

That's their area

Be a crafter for it

[leaden ginkgo]

fuck me

[warped nest]

Shouldn't we buy you dinner first?

[leaden ginkgo]

i haven't got into crafting/gathering yet

[boreal storm]

Then ixal does nothing for you

[pure copper]

each xpac has a crafting tribe to help level crathers

[warped nest]

They are optional, like most of the game

If you don't want to do it, you don't have to

[leaden ginkgo]

okay thanks a lot!

[glacial isle]

How hard is Ultima (Unreal) compared to the current EXs trials?

like to pick up and learn

[faint flare]

Easy cause it's an ARR ex

[glacial isle]

Thx

[faint flare]

Just tank lb3 3rd orbs and it's braindead

[obsidian patio]

Tank damage does spike a fair bit around 35-ish%, as Ultima will start doing tank busters that don’t have a cast bar

So if you’re a tank/healer, don’t let yourself drop too low

[glad robin]

What’s a fast way to lvl up between 81-90 besides the endwalker dungeons and dailies?

[boreal storm]

That is the fast way

[faint flare]

Fates...bojza if you really want

The extra ways to level come later

[glad robin]

Ah ok

[warped nest]

Even then, those usually can't beat roulette and dungeon grinds

Unless you factor in queue time

[glad robin]

Hmmmm
