Cure 2 for single target
and dont spam aoe heal, it generates even more enmity
. . .
so yea
cure II
Regen
Medica II
all 3 should be the ones you should be using, and not spamming them
He be losing chunks idk...
Medica 2 for AoE (and medica 1 if you need more aoe heals but you already have the medica 2 heal over time going)
Regen + cure 2 the tank
Just put regen on tank, holy, use Benediction,holy, cure 2
What gear are you using
Do u have bubble yet
Complete White Mage Set
If yes, bubble
no bubble at level 50 afaik
Bubble is HW skill 
only SCH has bubble at 50
Whm at lvl 50 is sad
Benediction, regen, cure 2 the tank
And holy spam when the tank doesn't need heals
Can't just rely on the duty support dps to dps
but yeaaa
avoid using cure 3 for now
you dont need to care much about the dps, focus on the tank
you barely use it on normal contents
cus if he die, the mob will rush to healer
Hit tank with regen, Spam Holy, Benediction when he low, Cure as needed
Yea
sounds good
IT WORKED
so what is the purpose of aetherpact in 8man content? it's not fast enough to be a tankbuster heal, so is it basically an auto-attack mitigation?
Can reapers really not use their 80 ability/passive in bozja/zadnor?
They can?
Need to do your level 80 quest to use it
do your job quests
become level 80
Yeah it’s jank
It’s not an oversight
elaborate
"Lets make the new classes intentionally weaker and less useful in content people will want to use them in"
?
I mean, the answer has been given.
does plugins mess up the modded/dalamud xiv launcher?
Couldn't agree more! have a nice one
They’re used simultaneously so no
is this me or kerachole use the exact picture as sacred soil but with dark blue tone?
They’re different images
It's just you
I just gave that fight a try with duty support and poor gear - it's definitely a mess. No need to feel bad about failing that a few times. 😅
Why are you specifically asking me
nvm
You've circled nothing...
its not visible much, the issue, basically the cursor changes from ingame cursor to my system cursor
and then the window thing
the bottom right is where you put something like addons/plugin? cus when you hover that region, the cursor are pointing at those programme, not the game anymore
Advice on farming blue tomestones?
Need 590 gear for my BLM and Ninja
You just do content as a lvl 90, that’s the only way you get them
A rank Hunts can give quite a lot aswell
having a issue where my bottom hotbar in PvP seems to be shared amongs all jobs but not outside PvP
Ah neat
check your hotbar settings in the custom section
PVP hotbars can be set to use entirely different settings from PVE hotbars
I have a question and i need some help anyone free to offer assistants?
go ahead and ask here 😄
I just brought end walker DLC but for some reason Its not showing that I have it ingame and now im confused I logged out and back in and its still showing shadowwalker
You didn’t register it
I never had to do that before so how do I go about that
you'll require to register your code in the mogstation
make sure you completely close the launcher too once you register the code.
since it'll need to download the expansion-specific data once you put in the code
Ok where is this code
Where did u buy the game
if you bought from the square enix store it's in your email
First off, where you buy it
steam
right click on the game, cd keys
@brisk tapir where did you buy the game originally?
Game was brought on steam
Then yeah just register the CD key and restart the game
It'll have to download endwalker
Zones, cutscenes etc etc etc
Library -> Right click the game -> CD Keys -> Copy -> put it in Mogstation.com
so im guesiing copy and paste this long ass code at the start ok
Thank you
Thanks to everyone for your help because I was about to loose my shit
at least you didn't lose it
Where do I do this? I had a poke about on Garlond and couldn't fine any such trade?
do i buy lvl 80 gear with poetics?
yep
You can yes
yes cus it the fastest way
you might need to complete the first quest or two from Krile to have Gerolt break the Anemos Crystals down into Protean crystals
the one where she wants you to get a Protean crystal from fighting mobs near your level
where do i buy the 80 gear?
Crystarium Aetheryte/Eulmore
need to complete shadowbringers leveling story for the vendors to appear
Did you have several yellow arrows above you
I saw one of em
that's a "stack" marker
if you see that, everyone must stack together in order to mitigate the damage
Were you doing this with ais or people
well, not everyone in casul content
Former
But certainly at least one or two
Also, importantly, was the marker yellow, or red
The AIs should’ve grouped up when the attack started then, indicating that you should also…
they will try but they can only do so much
the top two tank-specific markers also mean you'll want to use a mitigating cooldown like rampart or Sentinel/Vengeance, as they can do a lot of damage

I still find it kinda funny that the Stack+Look Away marker has only been used in one fight AFAIK
If the marker was large and yellow with a big circle and an audio klaxon cue, that's a stack marker and damage should be shared. If the marker was bright red and looked like Danger Will Robinson, that's a tankbuster and must be mitigated or you will cry.
surprised they don't make more use of it.
Also, what's your gear looking like?
okay so with gshades i usually get around 70 fps, but today my fps has been dropping like crazy, and im also having bad internet today, but isn't fps solely effected by system performance?
does internet effect fps?
no
just local machine
what's the best way to grind aphorism?
is there a way to decide on a DC and check least/most played roles/jobs ?
by decide i mean statistics etc
no, SE never announce official information about those
play the job you like, all are viable in pve content
what ever you can find is just a vague measure
There is no functional difference between datacenters in the same region, so if you have friends in-game already I'd prioritise there first, and if you don't then just go wherever.
And no, there's no official information about most-least played anything.
Nor is such information functional or at all informative.
and also create useless debates
all jobs are viable and Dc stats are vague estimates at best, everything else is speculation and anecdotal,
play, what you like and where you like
Since you can play all jobs on one character those statistics don't exist
WHM is best job, rest just generate blood for the blood lily
and dont follow any raid statistics, parsing means morons think certain jobs are holding them back
progression/effectiveness is 90% skill
At best you get the very very rough statistics of whos levelled what jobs to a certain level
If you want an idea of endgame job usage popularity, you can look at total number of parses for Endsinger EX and Panda Savage on FFLOGS
And even that's a fraction of a fraction
like 1% of the playerbase, if that
You can also look at Aglaia parses because that captures a broader cross-section of the playerbase vis-a-vis people who don't parse being snapshotted by people who do, but even that is unreliable at best and highly deceptive.
and at the ability most play at, the differences are largely meaningless
The numbers you seek are mere abstractions, utterly devoid of meaning
in regards to panda savage where exactly would I look in the fflogs to display like amount of parses for every job ?
yeah because its savage + act installed ?
Sorry, just looking back at the channel. Yeah, I'll put together a small thing
1%? 😛
You're dealing with the amount of people who play the game and also upload parse logs to FFlogs, which is a very small sample size relative to the player population, drastically reducing its usefulness from a statistical viewpoint.
Yeah, only like 20% of all public accounts actually run savage and a fraction of that use act and a further fraction of that upload to fflogs
can we include healers and tanks too ?
Like, the confidence interval for said data would be utterly abysmal.
which renders it functionally useless
makes sense
click on "DPS" at the top and select "all jobs"
that makes sense yes
So yeah tl;Dr there's no meaningful way to get the numbers you want
*and have them mean anything
Just for an off hand example Ive cleared pandemonium as bard, uwu as red mage and I'm progging dsr as a dancer, where would that put me on your statistics
I do hunts as whatever job tickles my fancy and same for roulettes, I play white mage in Drs and samurai in eureka
And lots of people play with even more variety
maybe I should've asked in the beggining : what job has the highest demand in all types of content from extreme to ultimate
Yes
!faq meta
Jobs played by good players
lmao
This game is designed around parity and inclusiveness, on purpose.
fair enough
So one one job starts to lag behind, it tends to be paid attention by the devs.
Drg and ast are getting mild reworks in 6.2
For example
Well that's not really a lag behind
people also lean towards new/easy/cool jobs
More like lagging behind in quality of life than viability 🙂
And even then those jobs were still in fairly common demand; Ast specifically was highly desired in this Savage tier due to a specific skill function, even while needing core tweaks to its expac overhaul.
ast on controller is pain
and yet the most common composition was in fact Sage/Scholar
White Mage/Warrior/Summoner: regarded as easy to play jobs by people
Reaper/Sage: jobs added in EW
Logging runs probably skew that tbf
yeah, and the difference between prog and post-clear mechanic understanding
Red Mage is a good example of that as well.
Which makes fflogs an even worse metric...
ngl didnt regret 1 second for starting to play this game
Red mage really common for prog on tier release
it's so fucking good lol
starts to lag as things get figured out
Well have fun and don't worry about beingn "non meta" or some such bullshit
FFLOGs is nice to use in terms of seeing when top tier tanks/healers use their mitigation skills/cooldowns on a timetable
Not what was asked tho
.
i tried doing that it fucked my brain
Contents not going anywhere anyways, producer hates fomo
At worst you'll need to be 15-30 for a seasonal event
so you can skip P1S-P3S if you join a party that's doing P4S or something like that, right? But in doing so you forfeit your rewards from P1S-P3S. Does that include the book drops?
there's a kinda easy way of seeing it, but I'll post about it in #endgame-lounge
Yes
or maybe like which role has the highest demand? is it tanks ?
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
It varies
Crystal had a great tank strike a few months ago
But it's overall pretty balanced
it varies on server. but normally its healer and tanks just cuz there's less of them versus dps
in terms of we cant find this role
they balanced that too ? lmao
We can't this role?
makes sense yes
It's balances out due to being omni job weilders essentially
!whoami
Just to use myself as a quick example
ure beautiful
based
nice flex
Thank you, it used to be more focused but I redyed for pride month and kept the look
That, I cannot deny
Like, for outdated content, DPS queues are going to take a while, sure, because there's way more DPS roles as a general rule, and old content is old. So you're effectively waiting for the Roulette to fill a party for you.
In high end all roles are in demand
But that's sort of a general principle wherever you go with a Holy Trinity setup
correct
Cuz you get a party bonus for variety
to be fair its pretty rare to be doing old content legit aint it, usually people just undersize it for farming
And duplicate job buffs don't stack
and when you undersize it doesnt really matter what you play
new players and alt characters, but yeah
normal/mandatory content is at least covered by roulettes
And some of that is being alleviated with the rollout/expansion of the Duty Support system and the changes to the end-of-campaign ARR trio.
so you can go in with AI instead of waiting twenty-plus minutes for a party to fill
and not get bogged down in story progression
Which will gradually be rolled out to the entire remainder of the game
Arr patch content in 6.2 iirc
At least with current schedule
Yeah, by the time we get close to the 7.0 expac releasing, we should have everything up through Stormblood covered, and since this system started in Shadowbringers (called Trusts at the time), that brings us up to everything.
has the glam dresser storage limit have been increased?
no, thats next patch
6.2 is increasing the limit
up to what amount?
6.2 cant come soon enough
for the next patch, can we apply different glams for the same tome gear if we used it on a different job? (like SMN vs BLM)
you can already do that
using gear sets and linking glam plates to them
i might be misunderstanding the question though-
you see, some jobs share the same tome armour
like Tanks
SMN & BLM
for HW at least
Just link the glam plate
i mean rn i have poetics gear for mnk and sam but different glams for them /shrug
To the gearset
I currently have a different glamour for Dragoon and Reaper, and I'm using the exact same gear for both. It just applies automatically when I switch because of linked gear sets, as Hope and Sasha said.
so i wasnt wrong
can someone show me a screen shot where I can find this link function
Open your Gear Sets window
right click a gear set
select "Link to Glamour Plate"
pick
Simple as. =)
I'm not sure the exact button press on console/controller but the same principle applies.
is it me or there are more glam plate section?
There are.
was it 10 b4?
15
now it's 20, will that increase next patch?
nope, only glam dresser spots now
holy sht, my whole glam game just got better
tyvm for the info, never found out about that link function till now
Hi yall, I'm doing levequests for ARR animus relic books. But the one I need is a lvl 45 levequest and the levemete only offers lvl 40 quests. I've done a few hoping it would show up but so far it hasn't. Is there anything I should do?
you're at the wrong NPC
oh shoot I misread the title lol
level 40 is Whitebrim/Northern Thanalan, 45 is Mor Dhona
thanks yall
What's your monk's GCD time at, folks?
They still haven't announced an end to the Garo stuff, right? I've just been doing eureka instead of cc.
nope
The first time the Garo event ran, it lasted for more than 3 full years.
They never gave an end date until a few months before it ended.
If you would like to know optimal Monk GCD tiers, check out The Balance's discord server, they have the various gearsets for optimal tiers fleshed out there.
If this is a discussion point, you in the wrong channel, mate =P
Does DRG have the highest job actions?
No way
PLD or AST might be the one
Lol no
Ast iirc has the most buttons
PLD might have the most actions technically...
it's SCH if you include place/heel.
what is job action?
Like these jobs dont have upgrade version of their skill, like SCH none right
nvm i am a dummy
Ok im such a noob to forget that, and aow 2 as well
is there an plugin that allows me to show all hud items (like Limit break bar (all 3), full sized party hud, full size alliance list (both 2), enemy bar, etc) all at the same time? this is for hud customization purposes.
Is there a reason why inner release isn’t affected by sks but no mercy is?
Is FOF affected by sks?
Does it use a timer?
Is it better for me to focus on leveling my gathering jobs to max before trying to level my crafting jobs?
not really, but if you use diadem to leveling, keep the material, the DoH can make use of them for leveling
Eh it depends having them handy is good if you dont want to server hop if something is overpriced
personally prefer doing DoL first since they're easier and are lower investment for the most part
But lile imperator said diadem is a great option as well for leveling both since they feed into each other
other people do them in tandem with DoH
that way you don't have to go back and gather items while leveling your crafters
you can just figure out how much you need of x item, gather it while leveling and then use it to level your DoHs
btw, what is the name of this outfit?..
thanx
I forget can you grow onions in flower pots ?
Yes, but you can't crossbreed in them. So you'd have to get the onion seeds from somewhere else, such as the MB.
I mean I have a garden at my house and I'm growing for seeds right now I'm just wondering if I can put those seeds in pots while I try to get more seeds
Yes, you can do that
Cool
so with DoH/DoL the job quests stop at lvl 70 too like DoW/DoM I assume?
ye, moves to role quests basically
I see, thank you
No, they take several. nvm, see below
they made changes to shb trusts
late into shb, so iirc it does come out to 1 run per level for those levels
but 81-90 take more runs
though there is a lvl80 job quest but its not required. its basically a wrap up quest
Don't think they did those for doh/dol
no, they didn't
its strictly combat
which they were asking if combat functions like the crafter/gatherers realize misread the question
but either way
its now clarified
when doing Extreme Trial 2 and there is only one healer, who does the other party stack go to?
Random
If a mechanic in general can't go on its usual targeted role then it goes somewhere random
hm... so what's with the farm parties with 1 tank + 1 healer?
they're just gambling every time the mech happens?
Cocky idiots that don't understand the mechs
if you do it perfectly, it is fine, but you could possibly die alot harder, a dps on group 1 gets it, now someone has to adjust to go to group 1, to be with the stack, else there will be 3 soaking a stack
and, the healer might suffer alot more too
Anyone know why a faerie would withdraw from the battlefield on its own? I entered a boss room, cast Whispering Dawn and Bio II. Just as it entered behind me, it withdrew. I only noticed after the fight. I'm a new Scholar
Did u place it somewhere and leave it behind?
Ah... That makes sense. Yes I recorded the thing, and the boss room had just closed (with our 2 dps outside as well). We had a bit of a run in with a stubborn tank
(I didn't place)
Yeah fairy jank af, also if u ever place it using the place button and use a teleporter like in praetorium for example it wont follow u and will despawn.
Welcome to Scholar :)
it goes onto a tank in that case
What is the most efficient way to get purple gathering scrips?
"most efficient" is definitely custom deliveries
Just wondering, is there any penalty for being disconnected? Was doing daily roulette msq, my electricity went down
no
nope
none whatsoever
Aight
is it just me or is there a wall mounted version of this one i cant find
depends on the job
(asking mostly about bard)
bard is aoe machine yeah
dots arent important for thier kit at all
mch, tho, those dots are pretty good
MCH, BLM, BRD
Hmm
dont ask me why mch has 2 dots for aoe and 0 for ST
the rest don't want to dot in most cases
really very simple: is the dot skill aoe or not
Im 45 with it
So nothing real hard for now
I like to have a general idea of how to play jobs before 50
basically it's put dots
play song
then play dance dance revolution with your songs
except for aoe
....except for AOE 
still a DDR 
seriously i'm still too stuckup on the old BRD
when putting dots was a must in pulls
when straight shot gave a crit (or skill speed?) bonus and didn't require RNG with shot
when sidewinder required the 2 dots in order to deal its full potency
boomer time over
now it's a double weaving machine
for Anima weapons on the dungeon stage, can you do those with Squadron?
for some yes, but not all
tho unsync with a lvl 90 weapon orks fine
equip it after you get in and before you get out
i still need to do the extra 5 to get the emotes so it's a killing two birds type thing
theres a few you can do, but its been a while since ive checked
i'll figure it out when i get there.
There is a small overlap.
additional question: for the first step are the crystal drops random or guaranteed
Why is balmung unfriendly server? Can’t find any guild to join as a new player, any help?
It isn’t tho?
are you lookin on the community finder
balmung is a lot of RP in-game so that might be why
I believe there's an element of RNG, but not nearly as bad as Atma drops were, at least to my memory.
rng but like 50% drop
Anyway, there are two dungeons that overlap between the quest Toughening Up and the eligible dungeons for Command Missions: The Wanderer's Palace (Hard), and Sohm Al.
However, the only requirement to advance this step is that you have the relic weapon equipped prior to clicking the exit portal.
So it's simpler to run them unsynced as high level jobs and swap to the weapon before exiting.
doesn't The Vault also overlap?
....you are correct.
might as well do that with Bozja since i may have to redo it for my SMN weapon, unless support is nice to me and recovers it
What's the 1 chest/2 chests thing I see on PF for savage raids ?
How to join a. Fc by making application if cannot reach house district?
Where to find it?
you can only get reward once each week and if it's everyone's first time, two chests are available. if someone's already cleared for the week, it drops down to 1 out of 2
Can the someone who cleared roll on that chest ?
If four or more people in the party have cleared already, zero cheats spawn
No
You get one roll, and that roll is only on your first clear.
If you pass on your first clear, that was your roll.
*you get to roll on gear once a week. Not one roll a week
So if a single person already cleared it penalizes everyone. That kinda blows. I get that they don't want people to get carried but that's a bit much
You can win everything that drops on that roll
So if there's a two chest clear, you could potentially get a clean sweep. Or nada.
But that's that.
"One roll" is closer to how alliance raid works
not necessarily since you also get a Book
but only for the week
should i reconsider using 3rd party tools ? after yoshi said it many times
depends what you're using
just dark HUD
nah
good to know
If you want it
There is a built in dark mode
Realistically, nothing has changed about how third party programs work
in regards to the lodestone post
its still very much a don't ask, don't tell situation
don't talk abou them in game
and you're fine
👍
They just decided to put out a more specific stance on some stuff and say that they like some of the other stuff
That and pat themselves on the back
datamine
Yeah ultimates final form was mined in 6.08
And phase... 4 was also leaked during the 6.1 maintenance
And the cutscene was also datamined before it was cleared
: c
Also:
[I]t is impossible for us to check what programs are installed on every player’s PC.
They are not going to hunt you down.
This is probably the only real update
That said have you tried the built in dark mode before you go to a mod?
they can check on my pc if they want too im just using darker ui :-;
They cannot check lol
they legally cannot
ik ik im just saying
It's not only functionally overtaxing on resources, it's highly illegal.
System settings has dark mode, light mode and classic mode
its kinda gray
Classic is the blue menus a la classic ff on nes
I didn't say I use it, that's just what it's a reference to
Does anyone know a discord or link that goes over what PF strats exist for what servers?
Look into a discord for your own dc
where can I find my DC's discord (primal)
hey everyone, idk if this is the best place to ask this, so sorry if it isn't
does anyone know if fantasia will go on sale again in the next few months? i wanted to change my race but i live outside the usa so it's kinda expensive 
We've negative ways of knowing
SE does fantasia sales kind of on whims, it seems. There's no known pattern afaik.
oh i see
kinda disappointing but thanks for replying 
where do i find the dancer relics?
only in ShB for now
how do I do it so I don't see other players anymore?
I want to take a screenshot in limsa
do /gpose, and then the last tab i believe
should be an option to disable others etc

can i get tank mounts on ffxiv trial
That’s for the 2nd one
For the first you can just spam Garuda EX
for the armoured version, you can do both 50-80 and leveling roulette to get it done
Has to be with the bonus tho
So 150 days?
yes, the daily bonus
You need the bonus? So youre limited to just one?
Each roulette has a daily bonus
Yes, you can't spam the roulette to get it to count towards the achievement
You get 2 pips max a day
What do you mean by first?
so you can get 2 "points" towards the achievement every day
pips?
there's 2 tank achievements
one for an armoured version and one that is unamoured
the unamoured you can just spam something like garuda ex to get it done
as its very fast to unsync
Works for all tanks available on trial
its not limited for the unarmored one? (2x)
the other you can do daily leveling and 50-80 roulette
i mean neither are really limited
No the achievements say as much
its just as a free trial your options for getting the achievement done for the armoured version is limited to leveling and 50/80 roulette
as you can't do 61+ content
oh I've ... messed with gpose. How do I make other players not move anymore
there's buttons at the top
one of them should affect other players while not effecting you
oh its not specifically other players, its the en/disable all motion option
there's a second button that lets you en/disable motion for whomever you are targetting in gpose
They're like two little people with their hands up for the icon
this?
yar
Does someone know of a site that has a countdown for firmament fates?
Just go to the firmament and it tells you
Nah i'm making a discord bot so just wondering if there was a site to keep track of it
what;s the highest level potion I can craft for spiritbonding increase?
superior spiritbond
thank you!
Not quite sure where to ask this, but it is FFXIV related, does anyone know how to fix the odd city-state ambience popping in and out audio? It's very frequent and kind of annoying, and i've had it since I started playing a couple of weeks back. I've looked it up a little but it seems it's persistent for a number of people as well.
It's definitely not unbearable but hearing city ambience for half a second sporadically out in the middle of a field is... odd.
might have better luck asking in #952326072542847016
the "chatter" ambient sound is dependent on the player count in a local area
if are doing a hunt train or stumble into one that would be the main cause of hearing it outside limsa
now if are hearing the city bgm that's a little more weird
whyy do people tell me to level in potd? i seem to get almost no exp
im level 4 lol
so unlike the previous shb relic steps, for the final steps (15 artifacts from dalriada/other sources) i HAVE to be my original job to progress in it?
on an alt anyway
probably old advice (also potd caps out usefulness wise at lv 60. need to unlock heaven on high for 61-70)
you get exp every 10 floors.
I have a question and it's very important
so in that case i guess potd is out?
If I discard the garo gears, will it make it to the salvager npc?
depends on data centre/local time but generally below floor 51-60 (the next potd checkpoint) the queues are going to suck
so I can't progress on this quest at all unless i'm on my OG class?
so I have to do dalriada as rdm?
thank goodness
you have to turn in the drops as rdm, should be able to prog on drops as any job as long as the quest is active
didn't want to waste dalriada exp on a job that's maxed
Only if you have the title for the job
Ah nice, thank you
is it true they dropped individual requirements to repair gear?
so if someone had only level 90 culinarian they can fully repair their own gear?
or is NN bullshitting again
Bullshitting
It's only melding, not repairing
also only needs to be 80
Tried installing FF14 on a second computer (laptop) and when I tried to login to my character I get a data center selection screen, what should I do?
Select the data center your character is on
It's weird that I have to do that, but thanks.
It happens with a new client. The game client and the launcher do not talk to each other for preferences.
30 mins cuz you are first floor, you gotta get to floor 50 and spam 51-60 for best exp. really sucks but if you can get a party its a lot better
That explains it, network backend stuff is weird
may be helpful trying on the weekends or during peak hours with a DF party
nobody normally does floors 1-50
repeating floor 50-60 is what you do to get exp
can I still get a piece of gear this week?
ok I see. thank you
nope
how do i find them then? ic cant see zones on the map
for example moraby bay
i only know moraby dry docks
Zoom in and the area name appeaes
Hello, does anyone know how long it'll take me to unlock astrologist? I just started playing today. XD
going to be quite a while
you need to get all the way to the first expansion of the game
so at minimum level 50 + a dozen extra hours to finish the level 50 quests
good news is it's all available on the free trial
O7
AST is locked behind story
and also consider picking up 2 or more jobs at the start
and working on both
you're likely to overlevel with just one job
Over level?
it's common for people to be level 60 or even 70 on their main job before getting to the first expansion (which is at level 51)
especially if you are running daily leveling dungeons
How long is the new MSQ roulette dungeon, Porta, or whatever its called?
like 15 minutes
porta decumana is like 60% cutscenes, 40% fighting
it's even slower if your team's DPS is low
Ohhh now I get it but I still don't know how to have a 2nd job so I'll keep that in mind for now :)
when they rebalanced castrum/prae/porta they didn't take in higher ilvl sync
so the bosses feel like they take forever
even more so if your DPS is low
be level 10 on your main job, potentially may need to be far enough in story to visit other major cities
you change jobs simply by changing your weapon to that job's weapon
(or making a gearset)
if you started as a conjurer but want to try lancer, all you need to do is grab the lancer quest and then equip a lance
Does anyone remember what's the name of that flying ship that is tied to the Mhach raid?
Trying to get there again and its been too long
The void ark or the pirate ship
what the most fun tank job to play as, I wana try tanking
The pirate ship
you'd be better off telling us what you find fun
Well I wanted to try drk or gnb
try both
i have tried them, just not at max lvl
GNB sticks heavily to a 1 minute buff cycle with no mercy
at lower levels it's not really engaging
during no mercy you blow your entire load
outside of no mercy you just try to keep things on cooldown
It’s just in the top left corner of the map
Just fly there
and save up for no mercy
DRK is extremely frontloaded and they blow their entire load at the very start
then they fuck off into 1-2-3 combo until raid buffs come back up
Which map tho.
That's what I can't remember
Sea of Clouds
ty!
tbh when I put it that way GNB and DRK kinda play similarly
so between drk and gnb which has the shortest cooldown between burst periods
DRK has a major burst every 2 minutes and a smaller burst every minute
GNB has a steady burst every minute
Alright I'll try gnb
Is scholar a tactical class (like it’s advertised as) or just a basic shield healer with a pet
It’s a shield healer
define "tactical"
they are a healer
You got the tactics 😎
GNB most fun. But I find it bit hard to master due to so many different buttons to press on top of using mitigation skills for tanking and pay attention to boss mechanics.
Scholar is kinda technical you have tools that set up for bigger shields and stuff
you use your tools the same way as any other healer
Like requires you to think
it requires you to think in that you have to decide whether to spend your resources on more damage or additional healing
the healing isnt that boring id say
Currently healers are broadly split into "pure" healers, focusing on lots of power heals and regenerative abilities with some minor access to mitigation and perhaps a barrier here or there; and "barrier" healers, focusing on pre-damage absorption via HP shields and mitigation, with some minor access to a large heal or two and bit of regen.
Hm
It basically comes down to whether you feel more comfortable playing ahead of the damage or behind it.
In dungeons they are green DPS.
in anything
As a shield healer you're trying to mitigate damage, sch has a lot more tools than sge to enhance a single big shield rather than more tools that are general
well
the thing about ffxiv
no raidwides really hit hard enough where shields are completely necessary to live (except in ultimates, potentially)
basically anything you could have shielded could've also been just simply mitigated with other tools (like from your tank)
I think sch in particular requires you to think more about what you are using than other healers, but not so much so that it punishes you hard for not pressing a button at the right time
Or you could just play Sage and deal with their garbage
well, you'd need to keep in mind not accidentally eating your fairy if you need fairy skills
Or not popping seraph if you want to use Fey blessing or sch-soteira
Not only that but what to spend stuff like recitation, deployment, and protraction on
I think that just falls under the broad category of "Resource Familiarity", which can really be applied to any of them. But yes, it does tend to be more responsive when the player is familiar with the fight versus, for example, a player who is trying to react to what's happening.
For crystalline conflict, if I’m diamond this season, will I restart at bronze next season?
We don't know how they do it
Ranks reset between seasons
Alrights thanks!
How is sage compared to other healers? Harder to play?
I’ve never played a healer before but sage looks cool
If you've never played a healer before, Sage is probably not the place to start. 😄
It's mostly that Sage throws a lot of abilities at you right when you get it and expects that you know a fair bit about quite a lot of the game
yah, don't start with sage. try one of the other healers first
You can absolutely pick it up as your first one, there's nothing about it that's necessarily harder than the others, but you'll have a better time with it if you already have a decent base knowledge of how healing works in FFXIV
Ok
I think I might be missing something for unsync coffer drops. I've just run S1T7 EX unsynched a couple time since its the last lanner I need, but there's no coffer dropping at the end. Not doing anything different that I know of from when I did the same for the ARR trials unsynched, is there an extra setting besides just "Undersized Party" I need to check?
Does anyone here use Alexander plugin?
Are you absolutely sure it's EX and not normal?
Are you absolutely sure you're doing the Extreme fight, and not the normal fi---god dammit lol
=P
Thanks
So I did the crystal tower raid series before shadowbringers a long while back but I never got the trophy for it strangely enough
Anyone else? Maybe I have to just do it again
what lvl crafter do i need to be to craft the susanoo crafted weapons and do i need a tome for them?
Why are there no percentages next to stats? Like do you really have to visit a third party website to actually know what your stats are doing?
because you dont really need it?
is there a "tab" version for teammates
like when you press tab, you switch to dif monsters, is there a version for teammates?
stats are fairly linear
you can press F1-8
o
the only other option is to set up a focus target
and then set a keybind for "switch to focus target"
Just ask the question
do i ever get anything like enhanced flare for despair
you must be from a pvp server
No? I just want you to get to the point
i'm looking for a track which plays at sad moments, rarer, i think i've heard it from hw/stormblood onward, don't remember hearing it in arr
very special tone, not oftenly used, mostly for climaxes
has like a harmonica feel, than an orchestra comes in and sweeps in to finish the loop of the track
rings any bells for anyone?
just link a cutscene with it
sadly don't really remember
¯_(ツ)_/¯
does it appear in hw aswell
very well could be
because i know only one sad ost in sb that I remember
i remember it from stormblood for sure, but hw was a while ago
prolly parting ways, or forever lost
i'll check tnx
parting ways is the one i was thinking of
Nope
sadly neither
but good try!!
damn i'm trying to find on YT and a lot of shadowbringers spoilers are attacking
Fragments of Forever. A track sometimes associated with Alisaie.
hard to describe but it starts as a simple track, solo pipe
o
i'll give it a whirl, thanks
BOOM
you got it!
thank you lass!
man Soken likes his bag pipes
That one is an Uematsu track in fact
do i need to clear favorite chocobo feed with krakka root before attempting to train with different feed?
i fed it like 10 sylkis buds and still it's not favorite
Ye
ty ty
is there a way to make it so only left click selects things
not right click
and also speaking of targetting
doesnt this make targetting macros obsolete
or am i misunderstanding
"Target Nearest" is just a targeting option already contained in the game.
I have it bound to my C key, mostly because that's where I have it bound in every MMO I've ever played.
how do you bind it to a key
iiiiiiii must be missing it
but yeah doesnt that do the same thing as those macros that target members if you hover over their names in the list and whatnot
Hello! How do I make sure I don’t miss out on any limited events/quests? I just want to make sure I never miss the limited stuff 🙂 just finished realm reborn!
Pay attention to the Lodestone, or #lodestone-news-na , or the news on the launcher
when can you fly with your mount?
'How can I unlock Flying?'
Flying is unlocked in A Realm Reborn zones simply by completing the level 50 story quest 'The Ultimate Weapon'.
Flying is further unlocked in the expansions through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.
'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'
Upon obtaining the Story Quest 'Divine Intervention' you get the Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/
i see, thank you
Hey what does this mean? I logged in like yesterday. Why am I being held hostage?
Do the shadowbringers beast tribes have allied status yet?
They literally said they couldn't think of a good reason for the tribes to team up
- giving the team a break while they do endwalker stuff
we can't tell SE to do anything
if you want to send a suggestion then you should use the official forums
is there any kind of list somewhere that shows the strongest lost action and essence combinations for each class
It's pretty much font of power/magic + Banner of noble ends/sacrifice with your roles damage essense
Have it on my comp, but not on my phone lol
i've seen numerous setups that don't use banner/font
some people using lost slash, or beast + assassinate
etc
Slash lost its power on war since IR doesn't affect it
Beast and assassinate isn't the best but it's a safety thing
Healers can take seraph and/or chainspell, casters can take chainspell as well and someone should have flare star somewhere
Melees can take Rend armour over banner
Banner and font are the most generic stuff and the others are small modifications to cover stuff for like delubrum or whatever
how much series EXP do you get for first and second place in frontline?
Whats the fastest way of getting elemental xp in eureka?

1500 and 1250
Hello, my dad wants to start playing the game and I'd like to know what would be the easiest class to play?
Subjective
They all start out slowly, you’ll have time to learn how each of them work
im sure there's classes that have rotation that are more basic or easier to learn/have less spells etc.
thank you!
But if you don’t like how they play, just pick up another job
Summoner is stupid easy to play, probably the single easiest with the least amount of buttons to press. A majority of your attacks are pressing the same button (might look different but its the same key) over and over again
At max level they are also probably the single flashiest class in the game
Do we have a book of the story of ffxiv?
I skipped 50% of the cut scene so I kinda miss out on some things
just play new game plus
or check #archived-lore-spoilers pins
rommy took down her recap
she wasn't happy with it, and doesn't know if/when she'll rework it
Hey so im trying to hide one of my characters eyes (or both if needed) because I don't want to pay for a fantasia to change them (I dont think i can even buy one in the first place with f2p). The problem is, eyepatches are disciple of war locked and im an arcanist. Im still relatively low level, but is there any other options to hide an eye or eyes.
does the roulette itself give more experience even without the bonus? like for example 1 person queueing up for msq roulette and getting castrum vs queuing up for castrum itself. does the roulette version offer more exp?
there is a lvl 1 eyepatch glamour, but it requires a lvl 50 leatherworker to make it. the only other eyepatches i can think of for casters are lvl 50 so
that you can get on the free trial
as a trial user, not really
there's the blm lv50 artifact helm that hides one of the eyes
but thats black mage specific
well there's also a lvl 60 helm that has an eyecover on one eye, but its a big hat and 60
nothing low level
rip
sure
!iglam ash mask
hm
is probably the lowest lvl mask you can get, barring monoa which you can only get if you started gridania
are van vanu beast tribe dol, doh, or dow?
dow/dom
you get a free fantasia when finishing the main ARR storyline
so you could use that
There's no difference other than daily bonus and adventurer in need bonus
im looking for something pre-level 50. A lot of my motivation to play games comes from if i enjoy how my character looks
essentially, the full story was that originally i was making a thaumaturge, and though "Hey! It would be neat if I gave them red and blue eyes!" So I did, but now its kinda wonky if i want to try any other class
"worse" case senario is I just play thaum until level 50, which isnt too bad but i wanted to try out scholar
only other thing would be to change hairstyle so it covers the eyes or 1 eye and then you can pretend they just have red or blue eyes
well, depending on how early you are, you could recreate the char
i got to 30 on a 2nd char by skipping all cutscenes in maybe 4 hours, possibly less
im too far in for that. Atleast far enough a long in the msq wear i don't want to have to do it all again
or buy the sunglasses on mogstation 
ftp, so i cant
i dont think
trial users can buy some items on the mogstation
oh
they can buy clothes
but that said, there are a few shades in game
that you can use, i just assumed you didn't want glasses
i would also genuinely just consider making your char 'usable' for any class to your own standards instead of making them class-specific, especially since you're early into the game and haven't figured out what your true main would be
oh im fine with glasses, infact I was going for glasses originally, but all of them are clear
in hindsight you're right
i would just commit or restart, not really much you can do rn
Or unlock aesthetician and use hair to cover an eye?
there's a weird pair of glasses in gold saucer
best way to speedrun an FC to rank 6?
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Head/A_Realm_Reborn
browse and see what you can find
might be able to find one you can use
called sharlayan goggles
extra personal opinion, you can just huff copium and make your character's eyes a headcanon lore point as well
fair. I mean it doesnt look too bad i guess, it just doesn't fit with the class.
does it need to?
I might be able to survive till level 50 on copium
fair enough
i mean my character's blue up the wazoo
make your own aesthetic in relation to the class, not the other way around
0/10 unless you're using the slime crown

i could always just stay thaum. I know support has dps too, but for solo content in the msq, a full DPS might work better. I don't dislike it, I just wanted to try support
anyways
imo healer's not really intriguing to DPS as
There's not really "support" classes, just healers tanks and dps
yeah exactly
the category is called support
I only really do pvp not sure if that counts towards it
Everything counts toward fc rank
that's not what it's called, it's just Tank, Healer, Damage Dealer
ok its healer nvm
Literally everything
sorry
even ERPing in limsa?
*I wanted to try a healer
if something interests you, it never hurts to try it
But otherwise were just classic trinity system
the game respects your time when you foray into other stuff that isn't just progress
so don't really sweat it
make sure to do your job quests and upgrade into black mage later
Thm also has a cool questline imo
im already liek, level 29 with thaum
lol
im one level away
but i also don't want to level up and catch up with the msq, because I don't want to loose half my kit when I do a story sync event
which is especially annoying with thaum/black mage because your rotation changes drastically with unlocks (like fire and blizzard 3)
You get used to it
I guess
Although blm/thm is probably the most drastic
so.. anyone know if squadron marauders have the circle aoe?
thankfully, aslong as im not doing extracurricular xp outside of job quests for black mage, I should eventually catch up with the MSQ
cause I dont get as much xp from it
btw, how much MGP is 100,000. I haven't done the golden saucer much, so I don't know how much that is compared to how much you get regularly
like a week's worth of work in terms of doing your challenge log + fashion report
sheesh
mounts are up to 2 mill in gold saucer for perspective
depends how lucky you get with your daily cards lol
and i mean week as in weekly, like you can do it all within a few hours of total time over a week
so it's not bad
Oh ok
There is no way to have multiple 590 gear with different materia right? IE: Caster gear but one built for cast time and another thats determination
I just wanted the false spectacles so I can rock glasses and a cool mage hat
If the item has the unique tag then technically correct.
You can make use of separate inventories such as retainers and the saddlebag to swap out unique items
But it’s a hassle to do
Yea that's what I was afraid of lol ok thanks
where to level up dps from 60-80?
!faq altjobleveling
How long are wait times for this?
It depends
Which doesn’t matter at all tbh
about as accurate as us spitballing
estimates are as good as mine
estimates are based on recent wait times
but if you're going from peak to off peak, they will be wrong of course
also just really depending on jobs
Oof
tanks and healers almost always get instant q pop
