For MNK (i'm only lvl 54 but) what is the point of perfect balance AND formless fist? They seem like they do the same thing? Also, do both of them still proc the combo bonuses?
formless just 1 hit, perfect balance is 3 hits plus the real reason to use it is the lvl 60 masterful blitz
hit under perfect balance generate charkra, 3 charkra are required to use masterful blitz
Until level 60, use Perfect Balance to alternate Dragon Kick and Bootshine for damage
And yes both proc the combo bonuses
Form Shift is also on the GCD while Perfect Balance isn’t.
can you bind your shift and ctrl key to mouse4 and mouse5?
ugh i can't waste 100 hours grinding thru boring combat and singleplayer storylines before the game gets good
literally can't find an mmo to play lol
In terms of healing, which is easier to get the hang of? SCH or Sage? :o
I'm looking for some gear I saw in a guide to help level crafting faster. Some of the items aren't currently available as HQ in the marketboard, and I obv can't craft them yet. Are there alternative ways to get gear? Like guilds who craft for gil or something
You could try the marketboard on other worlds if you're desparate
why did SE remove ARR normal raids from roulette?
Coils were never in a roulette
They were never there to begin with
going to lvl mining/botanist in diadem. Just curious to know how many of what item should i be mining/collecting each so i can use it for gathering in the future?
There’s only so many items there, just gather things and sell the excess on mb
mentor roul is every roulette plus arr ex, right?
im gnna use them to lvl crafters
you mean to gather mat for crafting as well, that would be like hundred cus each restoration receipt cost 5 each
Yes I know, that doesn’t change what I said
should i just mine/gather equally then?
how so
there was literally no normal mode back in ARR
There still isn’t
i mean the Turns
second coil having a savage was an experiment and not same as the current savage
Yes...coil has no normal mode
They’re still savage level
they're effectively "savage" mode
i see
So I've got a question for anyone that plays on both Console and PC, specifically Steam.
How do you set it up to use the singular account between both?
link your playstation account your mogstation, and input your pc codes into mogstation
that's it
Okay so I wanted to play the game through steam so I can use my steam wallet.
I played the game through the square enix client on a free trial and when I uninstalled it and downloaded the steam free trial version of the game it told me to log in to my existing square enix account. I did that and now I'm getting an error message for an invalid license and I can't add another square enix account, I only have the option to log in and get the error message.
steam would also require you to link your steam account, since they added that more recently
You need to upgrade to the full game if you want to switch to steam
you can't continue the free trial on the steam trial
Is there a way to unlink my square enix account and just start over with the steam version?
and the steam free trial?
What if I play PS4 and am moving to PC and still want to maintain the account on both?
as i said before
if you play on ps4, you link your psn account to mogstation. to play on pc you put in the codes to your mogstation
it would be the same account getting both
Nope
to play on the steam free trial, you would have to make a new account. no reason to start all over if your intention is to move to the steam full game anyway as you can continue on steam with your SE trial account you just can't use the steam free trial with your current trial account
Okay. I'm just nervous because I've been playing for 8 yrs and don't want to mess up the linking and end up with a PC register that I then can't use the account with PS
I'm trying to do https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/The_Two_Princesses_of_Sui–no–Sato this quest, i've done the elixir of life and the MSQ but they aren't here? any ideas?
So I need to buy the starter edition on steam?
There’s not really a point in doing so dude
I wanna pay through steam
yes, if you are interested in playing thru steam then buy starter/complete on steam
apply the code to your account. but keep in mind, once you upgrade you cannot go back to the trial
you are required to pay for a sub after the 30days free are over
It’s a
, are you absolutely sure you’re at the right spot
It's under the sea if that's your issue
So just to confirm
I can keep playing on my SE free trial until I feel like I need to start paying for a sub and when I do so, I can apply my steam purchase to my SE account and play through steam?
And when picking the transfer option, select steam
Hello! I just wanted to ask if someone know why i only have on 1 Gatherble itam 100% in the diadem but everything esle is 0% Did i do something wrong?
it's based on your actual gatherer level i think?
yea assuming youre just leveling fresh, just spam that one gatherable option on repeat
Gathering affects rates to gather items
Alright, I appreciate the help. If I run into any issues with the transfer when it happens, I'll reach out again.
Oh i see! Im 32 so i think on more level i see more? Thanks for the help! I try to level the gatherers to do the restoration things to level my crafters
(so i try to do the diadem thingies for the craft mats)
Get better gear and raise your gathering stat
it's been a while, but the diadem node options should have a level by their description
i wouldnt bother attempting em till youre closer to that level
20, 60 and 80 I think? 
10, 20, 60, 80
Ok so I am 61 on a DoH and I'd like to get better gear for crafting. Problem is that I am on pause on the MSQ just after finishing Heavensward so I can wait for my wife to catch up. Can I get to the higher level areas without going further in the story?
No
Oh yeah i see them now :' > it's really much til there! Thanks everyone for the help!
no , but u can buy stormblood gear off the marketboard (at a premium)
if just getting gear is your goal
Assuming people sell it
How far do I have to go into SB to get access to the crafting gear?
Depends which zones you need the mats for
You go to the first zone instantly
But can't go much further without more progress
you can buy scrip gear in SB quite early, although your DoL, DoH need to be 70 to equip
The gear vendors are in Kugane, which is lvl 63?
Every job can start at 51 if you unlocked it
Just by starting a new file
The Potd lvls don’t matter, it’s only aetherpool
you can pick lvl 51 at the start?
and again if I enter as gladiator lvl 1, reach 50th floor
But lvl 60 class is kinda yikes
But also potd so who cares
Hey, so I just got a crafter to level 50, and I'm trying to unlock the ability to get scripts, but the quest giver I'm suppose to talk to isn't showing a quest?
I got invited to a company and accidentally accepted it while trying to clear out popups from class quests. I want to leave it l, but the free company option is unavailable to me? I don't want to be stuck there, what can I do?
If the Free Company menu isn't available, then you didn't join the FC.
Are you sure it was an FC, and not a Fellowship or Linkshell?
!quest inscrutable tastes
Morgayne is curious whether a talented individual like yourself is familiar with the latest fad.
Morgayne
Ishgard (X: 10.16 Y: 10.48)

Mor Dhona (X: 22.41 Y: 6.82)
The Better Half
Go West, Craftsman
Well, I have <<wanderer>> next to my name and under company it says wanderer @open coral
That means you're visiting another world
Can't access FC menu when you're on a server different from your home.
Also the Wanderer tag is automatically applied to visitors from a different server
ohhh well that makes sense. i just thought it looked like other peoples' fc tags and was confused. I'm brand new to the game sorry
All good
When you go back to your home world, the <<Wanderer>> tag will go away, and be replaced with your FC tag if you're actually in an FC.
Otherwise you won't have anything there.
Hey, so I am trying to solo A8S unsynced. I can get to the 4th phase I believe it is, where there are tornados and he casts gavel. But it always instantly kills me at that point. Anyone know how I can resolve that mechanic without dying?
On WAR btw
What is this? Is this related to the tataru's grand endeavour thing?
Solo not that I know of
Can it be done duo?
Mentor roulette needs casual EVERY duty done
That’s mentor roulette
Including all EXs pre CURRENT expansion
I have literally everything unlocked. EX fights, savages
Have you done them
around lv36 msq
Done too. I have all four 7-EX whistles
oh
guildhests is probably it
EVERYTHING but savage
Hildy done, dungeons done, trials done. Likely guildhests
Done, done, done, alliance raid also done
the mentor roulette wiki page even lists out everything in chronological order
most of that is definitely guildhests
theres 14 of them
since pulling poison and beyond is 10 total
so should be all that you need, assuming my counting skills didnt fail me you're missing 10 instances
Thank you
anyone know how do I even destroy the Fire Angons in Masked Carnivale's #25?
feels like ive used every kind of attack and they all do 1 dmg
in triple triad descension, what does A - 1 become?
9, because A is 10
Physical attacks are required
Is it possible to go back to free trial status after having bought the game + latest expansion + sub, if i stop subbing?
No
just bought the game mean no go back
The daily EXP bonus for things like Alliance is based on level, but if I enter as sayu 50, get 51 during, will the end bonus also increase to what a 51 gets or is the bonus calculated from entry when I was 50?
Will DF make sure to not match with blacklisted players?
No. Blacklist only applies to PF and chat functions
Yes, as the bonus is calculated at the very end of the run
Fantastic than kyou
thank you, the only non ogcd physical I had on was... fire angon
no wonder it wasnt damaging it lmao
Is it a bad idea to restart if your not feeling a character and your only like level 10? I just really struggle with indecisiveness and I am having a lot of making a character im satisficed with, and the smallest things make it difficult to want to play a character. (Example, suboptimal server and I can't change it cause f2p or something about my character's look is meh or im not having a lot of fun with their class. Really petty stuff)
Gonna say Bruh at that suboptimal server remark
Class can be changed without restarting.
There are no suboptimal servers
Otherwise yeah you can change your class freely
If you want to delete your character to redo it you can you're still super early on
If you wanna ruminate on choices you get a fantasia(full character change up) for free for finishing the 2.0 main story
I meant like I didn’t wait for a server to be open and got a server I wasn’t exactly looking to join
Fair enough
I mean, level 10 is only about 30 minutes into the game
So you wouldn't be losing anything important by restarting
Yeah fair enough
I just get a pit in my stomach for the littlest things that I don’t like about something. It’s like OCD, but for video games and it’s really annoying
Level 10 is about where ng+ starts because everything up to that is pretty much still tutorial
Yeah If you don't like your character or anything and you're level 10 you can always just restart
So what exactly is this time travel mechanic I'm hearing about in the new ultimate fight?
Not exactly a mechanic
It's a... storytelling mechanism?
By progressing through the fight, you see an alternate timeline to the events of Heavensward.
Where Thordan wins?
Where ||Haurchefant lives|| to begin with.
Dominos fall
Or well not Thordan, but you know what I mean.
And you get fucked
Haaard
If you watch a vod, it's pretty self explanatory what happens
Could I get a Cliff's Notes version in #archived-lore-spoilers?
Only one I can find has a Japanese dude screaming the whole time, lol!
And it's chopped up.
||Haurchefant lives, thordan escapes, hraesvelgr gets captured via neurolinks(allagan tech) and attacks ishgard with nidhogg, after you take them both down thordan absorbs all 4 eyes||
There's no real lore
It's just the minstrel writing extra wild fanfiction
Mods still don't like us discussing non-gameplay related questions here tho.
But thanks!
it depends on the question
ur question was valid
if its a short easy to answer lore related question its perfectly fine in here
its if it has to be explained in depth, its better in #archived-lore-spoilers or the threads
Hey don't decide for us what's not permitted
You're allowed to do nongameplay xiv related questions
Provided you properly spoiler mark things and it doesn't become a full on heavy discussion
I wasn't, I was just trying to be courteous because I know you guys don't kine idle chatter in here
I'm not
Kael has the right of it
I appreciate the courtesy but it's fine to ask here
That's the whole purpose of this channel it's just more often than not lore questions end up overexpanding beyond what's appropriate
And then the chat ends up looking like a [redacted]
Only reason I asked in here his because I did think it was a gameplay mechanic. When I found out it wasn't I just thought it would be polite to move the conversation. That's all it was.
We answer lore and tech-related questions here almost as often as we answer gameplay-related ones.
this channel encompasses general ff14
unless it's like a deep dive into a really specific thing that other channels would be better for
Okay no need to talk and repeat it
I appreciate it
No worries at all
I mean you play through OG hw, starting on the bridge, loop back there after 3.3, cause a change and then shit goes off the rails
That's about as mechanical as it gets
Yeah, like I said, less a mechanic and more of a storytelling mechanism.
If you fail to make the change you loop
Which admittedly means some jackass is gonna see if they can loop for the full two hours straight
how do i buy the master blacksmith 3 book?
i dont see it in scrip vendor and that's the only place wiki says it can be
need to unlock master recipes as awhole in mor dhona
then it should be able to be purchaseable with scrips
npc for the unlock is guiding star
Should i be kiting solo scenario creatures (mostly msq stuff) as a thaum/black mage or do i just tank the auto attacks and cast in place
is there any way to lock gear in your inventory armoury chest so I don't sell them by accident?
In solo content just tank the hits.
well you cant cast if yer moving
You'll usually have an NPC that will heal you
well duh
question, is chicken fettucine ok for lvl 70-80 food for dps/dancer?
Anything is fine for 1-89
Since you're just going for the xp buff.
Food buffs only really matter in endgame content.
Oh, for Ultimates, yeah
Just use the current food?
But also ^
current food is more expansive, that's all
But people are actually selling it
Chicken Fettucine should be fine for DNC
there should be ultimate bis on the balance
But the pumpkin whatever that everyone's using now is still better.
If BiS is potage, then you should use that.
Don't try Ultimate with sub-BiS, even for food.
is the maidens rhapsody the exact same event as before
Yeah
with the same rewards
It even says so on the special site for it.
o
Same event as ran previously.
kk
Hello im still new to the game and i need to get a subscription but my credit card is declining because it’s in a another region and I can’t use time gift cards as well cuz my account is American and the stuff i have is all europe region and im on ps4 as well so there isn’t a way to pay with steam wallet thank you for reading
what exactly is your square account's region cus your physical location dont mean much
It’s American
and the US store reject your card?
Yes cuz my credit card is Europe region
have you try some 3rd party that sell game time card?
Hmm I haven’t I’ll try and thx for the tip
just make sure the one you buy is US region
Ok 👍🏻
Anyone know if there's a place you can view the FFXIV job guide pages from previous expansions? Specifically 3.0
just search for the url and see what comes up
no guarantee of course but it should include some old versions, if not all
well https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/ this page didn't exist back in arr/hw
was made back in stormblood iirc
Ah okay thanks
What does this icon mean? I don't remember ever seeing it
walking mode
Oh, I must've activated it by accident then. I'm crafting, so I didn't notice it xD
Thanks! 🙂
I've never actually had this happen to me, randomly had difficulty something unlocked show up when I cleared satasha
anyone know what triggered this?
oh nvm
where do I trade the crystals for umbral astral nodule for anima relic?
Mor dhona, the quest told you where btw
When does mage gear start to look more grand and detailed. It seems that most of the stuff between level 1-30 is pretty basic with a single solid color
Whats the best and easiest way to get manuals for gathering classes?
Level 50 and up
Hey is there anyway to tell there any light windows now for zodiac weapons?
Ah
Or they don’t have those anymore nowadays
No one keeps track of those online anymore if that's what you mean. Only thing you can do is run the duties yourself to check.
is there anywhere I can see the adventure plate presets you buy with pvp currency?
like to preview it
Oh ok 🙏🏾 you!
In the menu, you can see stuff you haven’t unlocked
Is the wyvernskin treasure map soloable?
For level 60 and up, yes
Oh good. I can use one of my level 90 classes
hello.
hola
i picked serpent for my grand company? anyway, while i was filling out my forms 🙂 I read stuff about chocobo. pretty sure i clicked all my buttons but i dont see it anywhere.
getting a mount would be nice
Chocobo issuance is under materiel
Last tab
think you need to lv 20.
quickest way to level dps 70-90?
i just turned level 37 and level 20
How do you get a serpent chocobo issuance?
To obtain your personal chocobo, you must present Cingur with a Serpent Chocobo Issuance. This document can be obtained by exchanging company seals with the serpent quartermaster.
So I'm under the understanding that crafting your own gear is a no-no.
So where am I to find sufficiently leveled jewelry?
ok, thank you.
@leaden ginkgo here
Thanks
So I got the standard edition on ps4
I think I got like a 30 days subscription with it too
yup
Never played the game
Yep welcome to eorzea
What lvl are you? And crafting isn't a no-no, it's just not necessary
Subscription runs out
Are you on free trial or no?
Nope, access to the market board
And recently I try to play I go in install and when I log in it says I need subscription
Marketboard,vendors or dungeons on your level then
did you login previously then?
if so
then you need to sub again
on
mogstation
!faq mogstation
But if I try to download free trial instead
further reading in case you get stuck [i was confused as well] ... https://gamefaqs.gamespot.com/boards/678050-final-fantasy-xiv-online-a-realm-reborn/66660475
For Final Fantasy XIV Online: A Realm Reborn on the PC, a GameFAQs message board topic titled "stuck on chocobo quest please help?".
that won't work
It says I can't course I have starter edition
yeah
If you need the ilvl, you could buy some off npcs in any of the 3 starter cities, also do hall of the novice for an ilvl 30 ring
Are the alexander savage raids worth doing?
since you already bought it, you can only use a whole different PSN account to use the trial
Otherwise just wait until you're 50 & get poetics
Tbh I did not even know I had a subscription as I gift
Checked those bases, they all basic cap at 30
Just wait to get poetics at 50 then
probably, i still need them as well ...

Is the soonest you can become an astrologian when you beat the main story?
@icy vault its a bit after the main story
You need to get to heavensward yes
can sage gain their heal charges other than from their OGCD?
Once you hit ishgard you can get it
Yup
I put the password and it says I need a subscription
That's just in first expac of story, lots to go before you've beat main story
yeah, then you need to login to mogstation to buy a sub
Ok
you'll know when you're there :p
I will on PC for now
Yep
For free even if it worse then my ps4
If you want the quest name it's "before the dawn"
Do I get first dlc on free trial
one problem, you won't be able to unlink your ps4 account to your new account
yes, heavensward
I know
stormblood isnt free?
I can't unlink
stormblood no.
No stormblood isn't free
you get it with buying the latest expac though
Starter edition / free trial only gives you a realm reborn and heavensward
!faq subpriceeu
In euro pls
I'm from eu Romania
may be more economic to get the most full bundle ... shrug
€10.99
That's in euros
Thanks
$11.60 :p
Honestly if you're buying the game I always suggestion the complete edition since you'd end up spending more if you brought the starter edition then endwalker for the rest of the expacs
Btw
euro beat usd .06 😄
wait, what ?
Yup
when 1.0 shut down, and 2.0 released, characters were transfered, that is so called, legacy worlds
Legacy players get a discount on the sub if I'm not mistaken as well
if you payed for 3 months in a period around 1.0 (i think) yes
oh servers are from 1.0 so old players are potentially from orig game ?
Yes
any US Legacy servers ?
Well
Ok just checked to make sure but yes in legacy servers there will be some old, old characters. If you ever see a back tattoo on a character they are from 1.0
should be, if they enabled it
Activation date looks like it's for 2.0
Hey guys
What i hate about dps in high end duties is that i have no idea whether i am doing a good or not, or if i should improve on something other then the mechanic or not, i have heard about some plugins a dps can use to measure damage, can someone help me instull it??
And how much should ilvl 590 drg should do? Like precisly
is there a discord for like finding map groups and stuff?
ok .. reading this ... they are not the old 1.XX servers. Those servers were shutdown when they shutdown 1.23 for good. All servers are new for FFXIV:ARR.
A Legacy server is just a server that host all 1.0 characters both legacy and non-legacy.
!faq act
Advanced Combat Tracker (ACT) can be used to view and record combat in real time to see player damage, healing, etc. ACT logs can then be uploaded to FFLogs to compare your performance with other players.
Please note this software is technically against the FFXIV Terms of Service and should only be used for personal improvement. Mentioning ACT/Parsing in-game, particularly to harass other players, is likely to result in punishment against your Square Enix account.
Someone told me i would need help to install it
You can upload your log onto fflogs and then use that in xivanalysis to see how you're doing and what you need to improve
I am sorry but that sounds gubrish
the link in the act/fflogs guide covers installing it
No? There's a guide how to set it up right there
guide is good
Which Crafter gear do i need at least to be able to craft the 90 crafter gear? oô
I think they mean lowest stats they need? In which case, I'd check TeamCraft community rotations and look for one with lower stats
pentamelded ar-caaean will be the best
but i believe you can make it with purple scrip gear
though it maybe be pretty painful
probably will need pots/food to hit the stats
urgh, so i need to be in EW regardless x-x
yea...
sadge
Well, could buy the ar-caean off MB I guess
if you're gonna buy ar-caean off mb
yea, could, but i prefer to craft it myself
may as well just buy pact instead
True
sadge, gotta wait a lot 'til i can then ._.
if you wanna make your self, can't really expect to do it while not in the appropriate expac
unless you're throwing down the gil to buy everything from mb
Yea the Gil aren't a prob. Ngl.
To continue the story will prolly take a loooooooooooooong while :x
Takes less time if you sit down and do it
Oh!
Will Crafter books X actually come in 6.2?
yes
Curious what cool things there will be this time '-'
As a Rogue am I supposed to be using Trick Attack on bosses? Hard to get in there being hidden
!action suiton
Deals water damage with a potency of 500.
Additional Effect: Grants Suiton
Duration: 20s
Suiton Effect: Allows execution of actions which require the effect of Hidden, without being under that effect
Mudra Combination: Ten→Chi→Jin or Chi→Ten→Jin
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
basically can't use trick until you get suiton
so just ignore it for now, until you are 45 and have it
hello folks and i got a problem and im on the " A Frosty Reception" and when i get the bull's eye on the dog and when i click on the same button and i see this on the youtube carefully watching which button but for some reason that same button would not work after hitting hit the second time to kill the dog

cool, what was the issue?

i don't want to join hundrets of discord server for 1 Q oô
i dont hit the second button the second time but i dont press additional buttons
just one and it works
It’s one discord dude
hmm, so you cancelled the aoe target? im not sure since i don't play on controller
no
i do hit the bull's eye and second hit the hit button and no additional buttons
i was like how it is or not working
Thank you!
since you didn't get a direct answer, here are the stats priority: CRIT > DH=DET
Ironically, this is pretty much the answer regardless of class, with the additional caveat of "skill/spell speed to desired GCD tier".
Helpfully, both Reaper and Dragoon do not want sks typically.
HOWEVER
after the 30th time i succeded
The Balance is pretty much the source for everything build-related, and all high end optimisation either starts there or is filtered through there. If you pick up another class and ask what its melding priorities are, more than likely someone will faq-balance you because that's where we get all our information.
Answering a question with directions to a good and useful forum is answering that question, at least partially.
Don't interact with any of the people, though, lol. Just go to the resources channels and read the pinned stuff.
Question, do omega raids have door bosses?
No
Omega is 12 individual boss fight instances, and outside of unlocking them, they can be done in any order.
Oh Savage.

O4, O8 and O12 I guess
Yeah
I think they're all available as soon as you unlock Savage for each of the three tiers now, though.
And that only requires completing the Normal version first.
No, with door boss I mean do they have a checkpoint mid fight
Isn't that the term for it?
As I recall, checkpoints weren't a thing in Savage/Extreme fights until Shadowbringers.
Ruby Weapon was the first, iirc.
hello good afternoon I need help with a purchase on steam (final fantasy complete edition) does anyone have time to help me?
O4/O8/O12 all have phase 2 forms though. But there's no checkpoint that I'm aware of in the phase shift.

Just say what the issue is
Oh, nvm
Before Shadowbringers, endgame bosses were "git gud or do the whole fight over from the start" lol
O4 has a checkpoint
Which one was O4?
I bought the game and after entering the starter code in mog station it did not let me enter the expansion code
||Exdeath||
Did you go to the expansion register section?
Godka might have a checkpoint too, but I'm not 100% positive.
yup an send me this error code s3802
@open coral @verbal rune all 3 final bosses in omega have door bosses/checkpoints
Kk, thanks
My memory of Omega is super foggy at this point.
I didn't remember checkpoints being a thing at all.
Error s3802 appears when you try to register a code without owning the game.
I know there weren't any in extremes before Ruby Weapon
I'm 100% sure of that.
I barely remember most of the raid fights though, since I usually do them unsynced later on.
Technically the final boss of aether chemical research facility has a checkpoint
Nah, that's actually two separate bosses
They count as separate encounters in the objective tracker for the instance.
I thought door bosses were stuff like Demon Walls?
But, if I have the game, buy the complete edition and enter the starter edition code
As far as I know door bosses are just fights with checkpoints
Dunno from where the term derived
Does your mogstation show the Starter Edition registered?
And you’re sure that you’re a steam account
you cant use complete edition when starter edition is already registered
oh wait, for steam, then yeah it is only 2 codes
Nope
Hello, a friend of mine (who's not in this server) keeps getting this error message and we haven't been able to figure out why and how to fix the issue. Looking up the problem has offered us a solution that seemed to temporarily work, but didn't stick. I'd appreciate it a lot if someone found the time to help out, thanks!
Something is saving to One drive
disable onedrive
or exclude that specific file ... then can reanble it @ end of session
can you assign duty actions to your hotbar?
Yes
General tab, duty action 1 and 2
Might not be general, but it's in your actions and traits
thanks for that
Just curious- why can't you stack stack markers? The damage is split across people, so shouldn't it be effectively the same damage?
even for the alliance leves?
(I'd imagine there's a reason but I don't know it)
do I have to turn in exactly 30 compact axles and springs? for the shb relic
Cause the vast majority give a vulnerablity
i have like 31+ springs now
Most of them apply a 1s vulnerability that turns stacking them into a guaranteed death
Which kills you
Ooooh okay so the first one will vuln and the second will delete everyone because of it I see
you don't need to turn in exactly 30 no
Pretty much
it just will remove 30 if you have excess
And the ones that don't apply it, are an exception
does that excess count toward the other though?
no
Excess is useless
you need 30 of each type
Can you do so with those ones then? Just for laughs and curiosity
Technically yes, can still kill you
I mean, it's going to skewed in favor
It's a lot of damage
of whatever Z3 drops
is there a guide that tells you which places give what level of leves?
Fair
cause people do Bozja content there
when ShB relic was recent, the Z2 ones
were always the worst to get
disabling onedrive seems to have worked (for now), thanks a lot!
when 6.2 comes out, will the crafted gear be better than current bis based on how it was on shb?
so basically if I end up getting 50 springs but only 1 axle
i'm fucked until I can finish the 30 axles
One drops from CEs, one drops from skirmishes
axles and springs are from the same zone
it's the activity level of various zones varies
The ce drop is 2 at a time
yes 1 is CE, 1 is FATE
you need 6 items total
3 zones
1 for that each zone's CE, 1 for each zone's FATE
I'm trying to do Eden's Gate: Sepulture Savage and can't figure out when to provoke or shirk as OT. I was getting screamed at like crazy earlier and it was really frustrating. lol I tried looking at the wikia, but it wasn't making sense to me. Any help?
wikia is useless
use a video guide
if you're in savage, you need to provoke the ground crushing tankbuster
When the boss is casting the tankbuster
Just invuln stonecrusher
that will 1 shot the main tank because it gives them a debuff
Target is locked when the cast starts
i tried 2 videos but they only say "provoke after TB"
i'm assuming you do not have target's cast bar in a spot where you can see it easily
i strongly strongly suggest you immediately move that cast bar and enlarge it to make it easier to see
I tried in game, and everyone started freaking out and calling out different methods. lol
the boss has an extremely obvious tankbuster
i think my confusion comes from when exactly i do it with the stonecrusher
AFTER its completely, or during?
anytime before the cast ends is fine
Just fucking Invuln lol
yea whoever's MT can just invuln
well the 2nd one you might have to provoke
i don't think people can quite skip it yet
You invuln all 3 of crushers
i tried invul too and got screamed at that i wasted it lol I'll try provoking during the cast and if they freak out again ill just stick to invul
They're fucking stupid
That's literally how you do stonecrusher
it's a level 80 fight, fuck else are you gonna invuln?
Dumb ass party
im not sure but i felt really embarrassed that they were shouting and making fun of me when i was clearly new to it lol so i quit and immediately came here to ask so i can do better
Just invuln thr buster lol
That's literally how you do it
Then swap after the 3rd hit so the next tank invuln
omg where do I find level 45+ leves
Your party were physically braindead stupid
Mor dhona at the camp south East iirc
alright! thanks so much vinyl! 🙂
i wouldn't worry about it too much
like vinyl said, that party was full of dumbasses if they were upset that you invulned the TB
What's the quickest way to go from 47-49 So i can finish the main story
Aurum Vale
Daily levelling roulette then aurum vale
Wuzzat
!quest going for gold

are the armoire and dresser placeable and usable in an fc house?
no

thank you!
What would you guys recommend to compliment the Super Sprinter ability in Chocobo racing? I figrue item switching to game for potions/tireless is too much of a risk. So just more stamina? (unless the Stamina recovery increase also applies to pads and items as well)?
choco cure is usually my preferred 2nd skill with super sprinter, increase stamina is also pretty decent choice imo
@twilit arch TY
Anyone know if the ff15 crossover event will ever comeback?
We don't know, no
have there been events in ff14 that never comed back?
Usually seasonal events don't return
ff15 already had a rerun
So that iteration isn't the same
There's a decent chance it'll see a 3rd run
since lightning returns ran 3 times, same with yokai
basically if the rewards from the cross over event aren't on the mogstation, theres a chance it can be rerun again
If its added to the cash shop its not coming back
Is the rule of thumb
Hi i whanted to ask can a free trial do pvp if he join a party of someone whit the full version ?
No trial can't que at all
Okay thanks
hey i am using act plugin to get all dps for the party horizentally but i can only see demo not real data
even when i hit a dummy
can anyone who is not in an FC, that IS in the Malboro server, that is subscribed to the game please DM me. I am NOT asking you to join an FC, however I need help with this quick problem im having.
so for the 180 items you have to get for the shb relic
when I'm done with the ones I can get from fates, I should start farming normal raids then?
or just do only CEs or something?
just ask the question, and we'll help
I really need help with this one
Anyone is using act overlay?
ya gotty be a bit more specific with what help you need
I can be specific when someone meets those requirements
its a very specific quick thing
dude just say what the problem is, and someone may help
How do i get real data there
I need someone to join my FC to invite my alt so I can make my alt be the holder of my FC.
This isn't the channel for it anyway
????
Not you
Damn the fight started
is it not "questions and help"
We can't do things for you in game
do you ever use low blow as a drk
In trash without a white mage sure
if an enemy can be stunned, then stun em
Free mitigation
if you cant help then you dont need to pitch in. im using this channel to find help.
Why the plugin is not working
And this isn't the channel for those kinds of questions
unfortunately this aint really the channel to ask people to go into the game to help you
Cause we can't help it due to the variety of different servers
you might have not set up ACT correctly to connect to XIV
so for the 180 items you have to get for the shb relic
when I'm done with the ones I can get from fates, I should start farming normal raids then?
or just do only CEs or something?
are there any drk skills that are never used
Whichever option out want, CEs give 2 or normal mode gives 1
How do i do that
That wasnt i the guide
No
useless
fak, tryna free up this hotbar
Every skill in the game has use, except undraw
hey thats just how it be sometimes
but basically trying to farm fates at this point is a waste of time right?
do you not have 3 bars? because that's all you need
i never use that throwy thing as a dragoon 🙄
so I have to do either ce or raids
Piercing talon is useful now since it doesn't break combos
@night oxide general rule of thumb you need at least 2 hot bars for most jobs, up to 3 for some
So you can use it for some.uptime damage if you're forced away
Yeah don't bother with fates, unless you want the xp from them or whatever
How?
Anyone??
its under the section Configure ACT
also make sure you're running as admin by default
I did that

There is no mention of how to connect the overlay to my ffxiv character
I see the overlay
From act
But its just dummy data there
You didn't do something right, and there's too many variables to tell you exactly where you may have went wrong.
The overlay is working cause it's showing
Just folllow the setup guide and try again
Act isn't reading data
Then how do i get information about how much damage k did in the ocerlay
Overlay
Did you follow the ACT setup guide
It automatically goes there when act gets the data
SMN physic would like a word with you
If that's the case, ACT (the window) should have the data
im confused on when to use my defensive spells on drk
When it's necessary
i get scared to use them because theyre high cd and hold on to them for ages
That's a shit way of thinking of any cooldown
also reprise, would i use that before the enemy uses a big attack?
reprisal is for raidwides and trash mobs
Reprisal room wide aoes
ok so, its fine if i throw in a rampart fighting trash mobs?
you SHOULD be using cds on trash mobs
gotcha
you should be using them one after another
You need to if you want to do proper pulls
so use rampart > wait until 1-2 seconds left on rampart > use another mit > wait for that one > use another
ahhh ok ok ok thanks a bunch
please
makes a lot more sense
don't make your local healer cry by not using mitigation
waiting to use mitigation just makes it harder for healers
a moment of silence for every healer that has queued with me thus far 😔
Nothing in the game is an oh shit button
Oh, and use Arm's Length during trash pulls!
also can i use abilities like edge of darkness for extra dmg or should i only use it for darklight upkeep
keep your mp between 3k and 8k
They're free damage
theres no reason not to use it
dont ever cap mp cause that means you lost dmg
You gain enough mp to make the cost and upkeep literally irrelevant
It might not be straight defense buffs but Slow = less auto attacks on you = less healing needed
gotcha
and arms length is a mitigation yes
thanks again, appreciate the help!
hi im looking for some help, i just finished seventh umbral era quests ending at "Before the Dawn" and I bought the Heavensward pack knowing that that is all i need to buy. I head over to find Alphinaud is not in Coerthas and instead I have a level 80 main story quest in my journal while im a only level 54. Im confused and idk if im missing something or not ;_;
sounds like you bought the story skip
considering you cant even buy heavensward
only endwalker
Plus heavensward is given in the trial/starter edition
Ontop of not even being able to buy it
you would have been fine buying the starter
oh i made a mistake, yeah i bought shadowbringers. this is the one i bought https://store.finalfantasyxiv.com/ffxivstore/en-us/product/804
yea you bought a story skip
you didn't buy shb
That's a skip
thats a story skip
that's a skip
now shadowbringers
you bought a story skip
it says so in the description
Use this item to complete the main scenario of A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood, and Shadowbringers.
i was so excited to keep continuing omy
You didn't even need to buy anything to continue
i mean you can use new game+ but you would need to level on your own
Since again, heavensward is available on trial/starter
besides using new game+ not really
nope
Do new game plus for the story
But you'll need to do dungeons and stuff to level and gear
okay, thanks for the help
Or you can just watch all the cutsecenes in an inn room
You'll miss out on a good chunk of stuff, though
ill probably do that
this is a long shot but is there any chance of me emailing support and asking them for a rollback on my character or is that impossible?
Extremely little chance
hey may someone please help explain what the news on lodestone regarding housing and when we as players can buy them? i dont understand it at all
i mean no harm in sending a ticket, but as i said the page clearly states what it does
so its pretty unlikely they'll do it
^
They're restoring housing data on the 16th
So people who actually won can claim their house
No date for next lottery
ahhh so they managed to find the people who bought the lottery and they will get their houses, but what of the people that had 0 lottery on the plot?
i understand, thank you for explaining
The 0 is caused by the server not receiving the correct info
Which caused.it to spit out 0
They had the lottery data since day 1
They just needed time to.figure out a fix and a way to restore everything
thank you so much @faint flare you are awesome! and i appreciate you
Do i toss this away? Since I already used it before
Can you put Relic weapons into the glamour dresser? For example the bozja ones?
the replicas
Not after they get custom stats
Im not sure if this question is allowed in chat since its help chat but if its not allowed ill remove it
Anyone knw good spot for zone 6 (EW) for landscape gpose?
Dm answer to avoid spoilers
quite literally everywhere has good photo spots. any particular mood you're looking for?
the spot where like when u look at sky and u see other stars i just forgot its coordination
do you mean zone 4 instead? otherwise my preferred spot is at the place near the first 90 dungeon
zone 6 not 4
ill check the dungeon spot
okay dungeon spot works tyvm
Hello!
Are there any issues going on with ffxiv?
Can get past char select screen. Game hard closes after a min or 2
too many things could be going wrong. sounds like an issue with your PC, possibly
Maybe.......
How do I move the enemy cast bar to the center of the screen?
Its not on the servers though, right?
HUD edit mode, in the options menu
What kind of computer
I know that much. I just don't know which of these hundred options are the cast bar.
Split the target bar
Via the cog after selecting it
Then you can move it separately
"Target progress bar"
untradable doesnt mean unsellable
Not just "Progress bar" because that's your own
Got it, thanks
Its a beefy laptop. HP Pavilion Gaming laptop.
Since its not servers, gonna try a few things on my end.
Thanks o/
when will i be able to speak to the NPC ||Fathard in Eulmore||(shb) to exchange formidable cogs? i have 12 but i still cant speak to him D:
Finish shadowbringers Base story
ah ty
Is shb relic weapon stage 3 easier than stage 3 anima
Sargatanis is an open world for new characters to be made but I keep getting this
At least it was the last 5 mins trying to make a char >>
because it's peak time
!faq serverlock
Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.
Lodestone updates slowly
So it probably only just changed and lodestone hasn't updated to show it
Thanks!
whats the shortcut for cycling through hotbars?
Like the icons on the party list itself? I think no
yess
damn, what a waste
same with the t-rex horns
can't desynth barding
Good evening! I have a more game-specific overall question.
Are plugins that changes the hug and bars and so on allowed or forbidden? I saw on some youtubevideos some people are using something that's called XIV Launcher it really reminded me on WOW Addons. But im Not sure if it's allowed in ffxiv too?
technically not allowed
but ff14 operates on a don't ask, don't tell policy in regards to 3rd party programs
don't talk about in-game, don't use it to harass people (namely for ACT, our parser)
and you're fine
what are the lamps in this image? can't find it has "wall mounted lightning"
Oh i see thank you!
