[boreal storm]

Take breaks, pace yourself, you get more leveling opportunities by doing the story

[leaden ginkgo]

Will do, thanks both

[remote lintel]

do pvp for exp

[robust crow]

would have suggested doing bozja but that would require finishing shadowbringers

[narrow jay]

It's also going to be significantly easier to max out classes once you get access to level-relevant dungeons. Daily roulettes are powerful, but they only get you so far per day.

I would recommend simply starting ShB and pushing through to EW, and swapping between classes as you can/need to considering you clearly outpace them in level already.

You get no stat benefit from being 90 in 71-80 content since all your stats come from your gear, so the only thing overleveling does otherwise is ensure you're never behind the MSQ curve.

Beyond that, it's going to be fairly annoying to try to gear all your classes at the same time once you hit gear breakpoints.

[quasi basalt]

So i started the MSQ Uncertain future? Without spoilers, is that the right track into stormblood? Do the MSQs go in order of the expansions?

[vast hinge]

yes

[quasi basalt]

Ok thanks

[boreal storm]

The story is 100% linear

[vast hinge]

there's going to some choices at the start of each expansion, in terms of the order you do the MSQ

but said order doesn't affect the story, it's literally your choice

and you have to do both eventually

[boreal storm]

It’s just so not everyone is clogging up a single zone

[autumn hedge]

When am I able to put my bid in on a house?

[narrow jay]

Per the last two announcements, after the 10 day grace period so people who actually won a house in the last lottery can claim theirs.

[autumn hedge]

I can't seem to find the announcement

I see a followup but it doesn't say anything about a grace period

Ah I found it

[narrow jay]

Maintenance to Restore Data

As I mentioned in our previous update, we will be conducting maintenance to restore lottery results data on Monday, May 16. This maintenance will fix identified errors and properly relay lottery results for affected plots to the appropriate servers. As a result:

Winning lottery numbers will be displayed correctly, and land purchases may be finalized accordingly.
Temporary suspensions imposed on plot purchases and relocations will be lifted.

If you have a winning lottery number, please be sure to finalize your land purchase by Thursday, May 26 at 7:59 a.m. (PDT). The next lottery cycle will begin promptly on Thursday, May 26 at 8:00 a.m. (PDT), at which point you will lose the ability to claim land you won during this lottery. We will announce this deadline again as it grows closer, so please do not forget to claim your land.

[autumn hedge]

Thank you

[analog meteor]

Where do I claim the shark mount after getting the 10k ocean fishing?

[urban grotto]

can someone play FFXIV crossplay from the launcher with someone from steam?

[analog meteor]

nvm lol

[narrow jay]

Yes

[urban grotto]

you're saying yes to me right?

[narrow jay]

Yes

[modest igloo]

everyone is on the same servers, regardless of what console they're on

[elder pendant]

does undraw have any use?

[oak lily]

No

[woeful swallow]

Just a quesion on Heaven On High, what level would it be okay to try for a solo run, in terms of the aether arms and aether armor

[elder pendant]

solo run up to the top?

[woeful swallow]

yes

[elder pendant]

99/99

[woeful swallow]

thats when i want to try to do solo runs?

[elder pendant]

you probably can do around 40/40

[woeful swallow]

ok thats what i was thinking too

like half

[elder pendant]

i have done it solo but farmed my aetherpool at 21-30

[woeful swallow]

ok i gonna try soon thank you

[elder pendant]

going up to max tho i suggest max aetherpool

[sand steppe]

Do I need to clear EW to get to Purple scrip stuff, or just Radz-at-han?

[oak lily]

Can’t access without clearing I believe

[sand steppe]

Fair, thank you

[regal pawn]

99/99

Max is big lenient

[olive harbor]

is it against tos to promote your art in game via chat
or on party finder?

i do art for gil for the most part but im not sure if its like

allowed

[slate arrow]

It's in the grey zone, you'll probably only get a warning at worse. I believe it's almost RMT but not really?

I have friends who do gil comms so /shrug

Probably fine.

[olive harbor]

someone messaged me about it on party finder and i've gotten a warning before not for that reason but i woudlnt wanna get like a second warning for just trying to create some art for peeps

[boreal storm]

If a GM isnt on you about it…then technically it’s fine

[umbral dune]

The gap closer let me fast travel on the ground so when there is slow, burn, poison in the path, I still get those right?

[modest igloo]

correct

i think jumps are a little different but most of them track you

[slate arrow]

The gap closer works basically like moving you in a straight line from current position to target in x time regardless of buffs

Which is why you can't jump over gaps using movement skills

[warped nest]

Gap closer is just like knockback they are external forces acting on your character (so to speak) in the context of collision check

[oak quarry]

you will also fall in holes in the path :)

[umbral dune]

Yeah, i asked that before, lyon told that the z-axis dont change (only normal jump with space do that) so i still dead

[warped nest]

The collision check in XIV are basically checking if dots are inside flat shapes

It doesn't work like what you are used to in 3D action games

[modest igloo]

backflips like elusive and displacement dont do that right?

ive seen rdms jump over puddles in TEA

[narrow jay]

Your character is never out of contact with the ground.

[warped nest]

I want to say they should work the same, but this is what I expect from knowing how gap closers and knockback work

[narrow jay]

Even if your animation says otherwise.

[oak quarry]

untrue

[slate arrow]

The way it works is weird, but in this case you're moving fast enough to be out of the puddle before the damage tick says you're in it

[oak quarry]

normal jumps

[umbral dune]

And the rescue is basically a knockback toward the healer? Guess that why it's more on the troll

[warped nest]

So this is more of a snapshot thingy then

Instead of how collision and movement are calculated in game

Any rapid uninterruptable movement should be the same behavior wise

[narrow jay]

Basically, yes. Your hitbox travels in a straight line across the ground for backsteps, back-jumps, Rescue, Aetherial Manipulation/Between The Lines.

[warped nest]

So knock back, draw in, rush, back jump, and rescue

All these should have the same behavior, even when they look different from each other

[narrow jay]

For example, if you do any of these things in such a way that your hitbox travels across, say, the murky water in P2S, you will still get Dropsy, even if you never touched the ground(water) during the animation.

[viscid nexus]

Is the original slower version of ||Song of the Ancients from NieR|| an orchestrion roll?

[jovial quarry]

It is not

[hallow wolf]

So with the new Entry Subscription, does it follow the same Veteran Rewards system? Is the only real difference just created player count?

[viscid nexus]

Oof

That's really unfortunate.

[umbral dune]

Before the entry is just like free trial 8 characters, none on the same homeworld, now they remove the latter restriction so you can have 2-3,.. on the same world but still up to 8 total for the entire account

[viscid nexus]

It's 8 of any spread as opposed to one per world.

[hallow wolf]

But does it still count for Veteran?

[viscid nexus]

Yes.

Veterin is total days subbed.

[hallow wolf]

Okie dokie then, thanks

[viscid nexus]

Glad to help.

Oh yeah I'm not a sprout anymore.

[vocal crown]

a person I know online is asking for help on his GC ranking. He says he has been promoted to Captain but his seal cap has not raised to 90k

Does that sound familiar to anyone?

[viscid nexus]

Corporal or Captain?

[vocal crown]

Captain sorry!

[viscid nexus]

No you're fine. The names are just similar so it's easy to mix up.

Have they changed Grand Companies recently?

[vocal crown]

Don't think so from what they've said. They're in Immortal Flames. Is there a penalty for switching that could cause that?

[viscid nexus]

Your seals and rank are specific to your Grand Company. Your GC rank and seals for that specific GC is basically put on hold until you switch back.

Just cause Serpent Captain doesn't mean Flame Captain. So a switch in GC could explain the lower seal cap.

[vocal crown]

Hmm I wonder if that could be it. He said that he completed the requirements for Captain and was promoted to it

[viscid nexus]

Yea if you get to captain and then switch to a grand company with no rank, your seal cap for that GC will be lower until you get promoted in that GC.

[solemn jewel]

can they check their profile/character tab for a moment

[viscid nexus]

Oh yeah true I should have asked that from the start. Duh.

[vocal crown]

Asked them and yeah it says Flame Captain under Grand Company

hmm

[viscid nexus]

Okay. I'm clueless. Unless anyone has any other ides, I recommend filing a support ticket.

[solemn jewel]

idk maybe relog

and check with the npc again if u can apply for another promotion to see if it really went thru

[vocal crown]

Yeah if none of those work then it might just have to be time to file a support ticket

They logged back in and its showing now!

Thank you so much for the help!

They're no longer worried haha

[halcyon shard]

Anyone know why another of times it takes a good 3min of black screen before I get to even the rated T slide? I'm on an ssd

[vast hinge]

I'm having the exact same issue actually

well not 2-3 mins, but it takes some time

and it could crash if I touch it

just out of curiosity @halcyon shard do you have any mods/plugins installed

[plush mason]

is it worth it to buy a skip msq?

[solemn jewel]

Depends. Is it ur first character? for an alt?

[leaden ginkgo]

when we can enter the lottery ?

[solemn jewel]

the 26th/27th, check the lodestone for the updates

[leaden ginkgo]

thanks

[plush mason]

it's my first but in the past i accidentally used a level skip so I was just wondering to hail mary and progress

[oak lily]

just keep going

you'll be synced down anyways

[solemn jewel]

Yea just play normally or pick up another job.
Skipping the story is imo only really worth if u say u really don't care about it and want raid ASAP

[plush mason]

is the story worth getting into because I just recently got back into it after two years so I don't remember anything?

[oak lily]

it totally is

[solemn jewel]

You can use the new game+ feature to replay the story so far

but its genuinely a really good story, prolly the best in the genre

[last brook]

I'm about to race my friend to see who can unlock Sastasha first. Which job do you think would be the fastest?
EDIT: on a brand new character

[oak lily]

whatever

[solemn jewel]

it barely matters, it needs the same msq progress no matter what job u pick first

[narrow jay]

Given that base-campaign classes all do pretty much shit-all damage at low levels, the primary sources of experience are going to be MSQ and hunting log entries, so tbh I would not be surprised if you picked Archer and came back in an hour saying you'd won.

[glossy flare]

sastasha requires msq progress anyway, hunting log would just slow you down

it honestly comes down to who can skip cutscenes faster

[narrow jay]

And that comes down to who can load in and out of cutscenes faster, so the best class to pick would probably be the JP voice actor lines

[last brook]

Oh boy

I never knew that randomly generated names are all taken now.

[visual sandal]

when do savage reclears reset? same time as everything else?

[narrow jay]

weekly reset, yep

[glossy flare]

!weekly

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Weekly Reset:

**<t:1652774400:F>

40 minutes, 32 seconds**

[visual sandal]

ah, ok

ty

[vagrant hornet]

Is this the correct way to do elmo?

I'm looking at diagrams online atm and I keep seeing different-looking elmo strat

[vast hinge]

yes

but elmo is a bad strat as a whole

that is unfortunately popular in PF

[glossy flare]

it's not bad tbh

[vast hinge]

by what comparison is it not bad

[glossy flare]

failure just tends to kill everyone, but it's very workable

[vagrant hornet]

Well, I'm almost exclusively a PF progger so elmo it is

[glossy flare]

yes, there are better strats, not denying that

just saying, it works just as fine if done correctly

[vast hinge]

failure tends to kill everyone - this immediately implies the strat is really bad if there is an alternative that doesn't do so

I agree it works BTW

it's just not a good strat

[vagrant hornet]

This one?

[glossy flare]

it depends tbh, if everyone is used to it and just does it correctly (consistently so) then using another would just be unnecessary hassle

[vast hinge]

that's in theory the best 1, but requires personal responsibility

[glossy flare]

that's how you are supposed to solve it without any cheese

[vast hinge]

the 1 that's probably best of both worlds, in terms of minimal personal responsibility while also not killing the whole group if done incorrectly

is myta

[vagrant hornet]

myta?

[vast hinge]

essentially it's the same as elmo, but the healers instead of going to NW

they go to bait the southern tornados

[vagrant hornet]

Ahh

[vast hinge]

reason it's better than elmo

[glossy flare]

this is myta

[vast hinge]

is because if some unga bunga stands too close, the tornado won't wipe the people at NW

and if they do, healers are still alive

[vagrant hornet]

The prog group I joined with got to Darkblaze Twister but idk how the fuck we didn't wipe at FoA

[vast hinge]

this is myta, but you switch where the tanks/DPS go

cause it's also really dumb to have tanks behind boss, while melees are in front

[glossy flare]

doesn't matter either way tbh

[vagrant hornet]

I got no clue what was happening and my monkey brain was just making me run around

[vast hinge]

it matters because you can't positionals as melee

and is a 0 effort adjustment

[glossy flare]

I mean I agree

but still 😄

[vast hinge]

at least P3S PF

[glossy flare]

for darkblaze twister?

[vast hinge]

have moved on from MT darkblaze twister KB light parties

good lord that was truly moronic

[vagrant hornet]

FoA

[glossy flare]

isn't FoA just the 3 to 1 dodge?

[vast hinge]

no

[glossy flare]

oh wait, Firestorms

not flames

[vast hinge]

FoA is the entire mechanic sequence technically

[glossy flare]

yeah the whole thing

[restive vault]

Do I need to clear Edan raid to unlock the new p1s-p4s?

[solemn jewel]

Nope

just need to finish 6.0 msq

[restive vault]

last I played I was progging E8S

I see

okay

Jumping back into the game :]

excited to return

[unkempt elk]

i just bought 2 augments for bozja haste gear and now that i think about it...
if i wear this augmented haste gear, can i use my ew glams that have lv90 gear?

[oak lily]

no

[unkempt elk]

[oak lily]

if its a lower level than the glam

[unkempt elk]

why is it like this

[oak lily]

er

if the glam item you want is higher than the equipped piece

[unkempt elk]

this system doesn't make any sense but thanks

[glossy flare]

I mean it does, otherwise a lvl 1 player could just use a lvl 90 glam

which doesn't hurt anyone but it also removes the sense of progression

[unkempt elk]

i feel like the progression would be there in the performance of the gear itself...

[glossy flare]

How your character looks is a big part in the perceived progression in a game like this

if you can just jump to the end it would remove a very important piece of that

[humble compass]

The purpose is to push yourself to get your fav glam.

If you can use the prism anyway, it kinda kills the urge.

[unkempt elk]

i think that argument would have some merit if there was a way to correlate glam to the ilvl of an item

[humble compass]

Leveling is part of the fun you know.

[unkempt elk]

there are pieces which are the same model and are at different ilvl tiers

[glossy flare]

They usually have different colour schemes

but yes, you are right

however the actual "prestige" stuff has some sort of unique element to it

For example normal and savage raid gear share the same models but savage versions are dyable

[unkempt elk]

the prestige stuff also isn't tied to ilvl

[glossy flare]

it is though

dyable raid gear is tied to ilvl

[unkempt elk]

no what i mean is

there isn't a quantifiable aesthetic quality you can tie to ilvl

[oak lily]

I mean

[glossy flare]

true

[unkempt elk]

hw relic weapons are just as flashy as sb ones

but one has a lower ilvl

[oak lily]

later expacs have better modeling

[glossy flare]

but that still doesn't matter, that's not the point of the system

of course I agree the glamour system could be improved by a mile but being able to use high lvl glams at lvl 1 would be something that I think is fine as is

[unkempt elk]

i don't really agree but yeah it is what it is

[warm snow]

Ilvl isnt a blocker on glams, just equip level

I've seen people glam ing 485 weapons to look like 510 weapons during shb

[vagrant hornet]

I remember now

We died and the healer did an LB3

And then we proceeded to die to Darkblaze Twister

[last mural]

I mean... Replica relics are lv 1... so... it's not a factor no?

[warm snow]

You need to get the original first, and by extension have to reach the required level

[oak lily]

replicas also have no stats

[bronze smelt]

Hi, please i need a help with subscription.. i added cc to mogstation but i have no idea where can i choose subs plans or if there is possibility. And how can i set automatically paying from cc.. thanks.

[jade quartz]

Sub options are the first heading on the first page of the Mog Station.

Add subscription > credit card

[solemn jewel]

click on credit card

then u can pick the plans

[bronze smelt]

Oh understand thanks... i tought the crysta is something for companion app just.

thank you very much

[hushed zealot]

did

Anything started this 18th?

[oak lily]

its still the 17th

[warm snow]

It's literally not the 18th...anywhere on the planet...

[autumn anvil]

I don't think there are any events scheduled to start when the Maiden's Rhapsody ends tomorrow though.

[fast talon]

when will the current raid tier be unlocked so that its not limited to one loot a week? will it be 6.2 or the upcoming patch that adds hildi, beast tribes, etc?

[green grail]

6.2 or 6.18, but almost definitely not 6.15 no

[last mural]

I'm assuming the next Moonfaire will be in August?

[fast talon]

Didn't even think we were getting a 6.15. What's slated to be in that?

[green grail]

the stuff you listed

[fast talon]

oh i thought that was 6.18

[autumn anvil]

6.18 is data center travel mostly I think?

[fast talon]

must have gotten my numbers wrong

[last mural]

Content like new quests, and the tribal quests, etc

[fast talon]

ah that might be why i remember .18, data center travel

and also when my server gets put into a new DC lol

[hushed zealot]

Lil late but

I know its not the 18th

But i swear

That 18th meant something

[last mural]

hmm? iirc, data center travel isn't going to appear so soon no?

[hushed zealot]

Iunno where, iunno what, but SOMEWHERE
18 was important

[last mural]

i thought it was teased for like 7.0+

[hushed zealot]

...ah wait, snaps
My convenience store workplace has it end on 18th
That's what it was :,D

[fast talon]

i think they said like a more basic version of data center travel is coming, like you can only travel between DCs of the same region?

[last mural]

Oh....

OHHHHH

[fast talon]

and at the same time, the JP DCs are getting splintered off

and a 4th one will be added

[last mural]

i was actually worried because someone told me i couldn't use it to travel to JP DCs, because i'm a SEA player currently stuck in an NA DC

[autumn anvil]

I seem to recall they also had a timeline (far in the future) for new European servers/DC. When was that again?

[faint flare]

Data centre travels region locked

At first

[fast talon]

at the moment they're region locked yeah

[last mural]

But if that's just a 'mini' version, and a 'full' version where i can travel to other regions' DCs is slated for the future, then i guess i don't have to transfer yet

[fast talon]

might be pretty far into the future

but i think thats what theyve said

[last mural]

Btw, any hint of 6.15's release data?

i could really use some tribe quests to lv my lv 80 classes on the side lol

[vagrant hornet]

What I want is a one-click-to-repair-all-gear button

[last mural]

What i want is a removal of the repair system

[hot eagle]

if its like shb etc. 4 weeks after 6.11 but with the longer patch circle maybe also 5/6 weeks

[vagrant hornet]

Not gonna happen

[last mural]

Yeah...

[faint flare]

It's a gil sink

A small one

But a sink nonetheless

[fast talon]

the one appeal of the repair system is letting me be a smug asshole to my static mates that dont have any crafter leveled and they have to leave an instance cuz they're at 4k hp

[last mural]

Just realized this is a questions-and-help section, i'll delete my rant

[fast talon]

will 6.15 also be when we can use totems to get the mounts for ex1 and 2 or will that be in 6.2? i dont know when totem trade ins for mounts usually become available but i read that ex3's wont be for like a whole year or so

[slate wave]

Wasnt housing supposed to be biddable again today?

[autumn anvil]

On the 27th.

[slate wave]

ah...

[autumn anvil]

This week was just getting the old auctions fixed, and now the real winners have some time to collect their plot.

[flat wigeon]

how do i get jet black dye

[last mural]

1. Buy from Mogstation
2. Buy from MB
3. Get from retainers (Quick ventures)

[flat wigeon]

whats mb and whats retainer

[warm snow]

@fast talon we always get some actual content in x.x5

[last mural]

MB = Marketboard

Retainer... is retainer... uh...

[flat wigeon]

oh im at that and its not showingup in search

[warm snow]

Smaller stuff like unlocks, balancing and in this case the one off dc travel are 6.18

[last mural]

Did u select partial search?

[slate wave]

retainers are the human banks u summon at bells

[flat wigeon]

no lemme try that

[autumn anvil]

You're looking for general purpose jet black.

The one just called 'jet black' is from the online store.

[flat wigeon]

i found it on market board but it is WAY too expensive

[last mural]

Yep, it is

[autumn anvil]

Yes, black is a pretty popular color.

[last mural]

Jet black dye is the most expensive dye on the MB, followed by Pure White

[flat wigeon]

i went with gunmetal black way cheaper

[autumn anvil]

Or just soot black, really.

[last mural]

Soot black has that dirty yellowish tint inside it though that makes it stand out amongst pure black items though

[flat wigeon]

soot black just dont look black enough

[last mural]

Gunmetal has a gloss to it though, which isn't suitable for certain textures (e.g. Cloth)

[flat wigeon]

and i got 5 gunmetal blacks in a bundle since it was the cheapest option for it

[flat wigeon]

i put it on evokers horn it looks fine so far

[last mural]

The closest dye to Jet Black is Dark Purple dye

[flat wigeon]

i wanna look like larryzaur's summoner once i get the endwalkers gear

i just think evokers horn is cooler than convokers, but the rest of the convokers set is WAY cooler

[last mural]

Many people use Dark Purple as a cheaper option to Jet Black

[flat wigeon]

i see, i noticed that was pretty close too when i was looking at the color options

but i wanted a true black even if it wasnt jet, knowing its purple would make it not feel right mentally for me

[flat wigeon]

another question caffeine

[last mural]

another answer enigma

[flat wigeon]

if i dye the horn and then turn it into glamour will it still have the dye color, or am i supposed to dye it after turning into a glamour

[last mural]

No difference

[flat wigeon]

i see

[autumn anvil]

Either works. If you're using an expensive dye you probably want to dye first.

[last mural]

However

[flat wigeon]

yup i did it

[last mural]

this doesn't apply to items that have glamours attached to them

[flat wigeon]

i put the dyed version in my glamour dresser and itll prolly end up on a plate in the future

[last mural]

As mentioned, no difference whether u dye it before or after it enters the dresser

However, if dyeing after, make sure u're dyeing it from within the dresser, and not on a glamour plate

[flat wigeon]

wdym

[last mural]

Dyeing on a glamour plate is only temporary and won't affect the item in your dresser

[flat wigeon]

i see

i see

that makes sense

youre saying itll only be dyed if i use that plate, otherwise i have to dye it again

[last mural]

Uh... no

Wait...

[flat wigeon]

oh

what

[last mural]

Depends on what you're asking

[flat wigeon]

oh boy

basically

what youre saying

or what i htink you are

is that dying on a plate

means that its only dyed

on the plate

not on glamour dresser

[last mural]

Yes

[warm snow]

Yes

[flat wigeon]

but if i dye it before putting it in glamour dresser

[warm snow]

You can just dye the item in the dresser

[flat wigeon]

its dyed in the dresser

[last mural]

yes

[flat wigeon]

as i just found out

[warm snow]

Or before you put it in the dresswr

[autumn anvil]

So if you're using a jet black on something in your dresser, you can use it in multiple plates - and then if you want a yellow version of that item in one of your plates, you can just dye it for that plate.

[last mural]

Dye before putting in dresser ✅
Dye after putting in dresser ✅
Dye on a glamour plate ❎

[flat wigeon]

eventually in the future i wanna get real jet black dye

[autumn anvil]

Only dye on plates if you want to keep the other dye on the original item. 😄

[last mural]

Even from retainers, they're not easy to get

Rarely do retainers give u Venture Coffers after a quick venture, and rarely do those coffers give u good dye like Pure White or Jet Black

[flat wigeon]

ill prolly just save a whole lotta money and buy it on market board

especially since i plan this for the final outfit of my character

[solemn jewel]

Just pay the real cash

[last mural]

This basically. If for example a glamour u want to use is dyed Jet Black, but u want to dye it another color for a specific glamour plate, then u should dye on the plate because the color is temporary, and the glamour is still Jet Black in your dresser

[flat wigeon]

absurd

[flat wigeon]

i understand

if i ever get my hands on jet black whatever item i use it on will be dyed that way in dresser since the dye is so expensive

[flat wigeon]

btw is there a difference between these

[oak lily]

one is luck the other is money

[flat wigeon]

do they look the same i mean

[autumn anvil]

Yes, that's the idea - to have an in-game way of obtaining these store items.

[last mural]

yes

[flat wigeon]

i see

also im starting to see why the gunmetal one is called gunmetal

i like it a lot tho

[oak quarry]

it’s alright but i wish it didn’t drastically change color depending on the lighting

[warm snow]

Wonder how the metallic dyes will be after the graphical update

[flat wigeon]

wait theres a graphical update

whatre they gonna change in that

[main yarrow]

Housing still not fixed?

[leaden ginkgo]

Lighting, shadows, everything. But it is in 7.0, so years away

[solemn jewel]

#lodestone-news-na has all the news

[autumn anvil]

Fixed yes, lotteries reopened no.

[glossy flare]

we don't know yet, they only showed some screenshots as a sort of proof of concept

the actual update is planned for 7.0, which is still almost 2 years away

[obsidian patio]

It’s actually happening in steps

The new PVP gear bought with crystal trophies are high-res

[flat wigeon]

HUH

[flat wigeon]

i see

[flat wigeon]

I also wonder now

[glossy flare]

have a derplander example though

[leaden ginkgo]

Well they talked about what they wanted to change, we just don't know what it will look like yet

[glossy flare]

Well yes, but that was my point

it's a plan, we won't know what it will actually be until they do it

[misty flicker]

hi, i got questions regarding issues with gamepad acting strange while steam is in bg. where can i ask them

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean we know it's updated lighting, textures, things like that

[raw granite]

As far as weapons go, the BiS is the savage one, the second is bluefeather right ?

[leaden ginkgo]

Just clarifying cuz it seemed like that was the question

[potent hazel]

augmented radiant weapon is il600, blue feather is 595

[raw granite]

ah yeah forgot the augmented radiant

I GC'd my radiant weapon, dammit

[brazen shadow]

im trying to do An Unexpected Journey but i dont have that quest, im i missing something?

[glossy flare]

what's your current msq?

[brazen shadow]

whats that? i just started this game a few days ago .-.

[glossy flare]

main story quest

[brazen shadow]

you have selected regicide

[glossy flare]

in that case

!faq whynojobquest

[zinc orbit]

Why am I Past lv50 Without the Abilities of My Job

Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in , you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.

Image URL: https://imgur.com/IQgUjw7.png

[glossy flare]

an unexpected journey is HW content, but you are not in HW yet

[brazen shadow]

i didnt reach the next expansion yet?

[glossy flare]

nope, still in ARR

post-ARR to be exact

[brazen shadow]

ahh do you know how many more quest i need?

i just recently beat the dude and shows credits not too long ago

[glossy flare]

until HW? uhh should be about 60-70 at your point?

each expac has 2 credits

one at the x.0 patch mark and another at the patch x.55 patch mark

the credits you saw were for 2.0, but there will be another credits roll for 2.55

currently you are in 2.1

[brazen shadow]

woah thats a lot

why does it say lvl 52 than

[leaden ginkgo]

post-ARR is super long

[glossy flare]

your msq is still lvl 50

[brazen shadow]

ahhh i see i see

[glossy flare]

it's also why your msq gives almost no xp currently

to not overlevel you too much before the next expac

[brazen shadow]

ohh okii okii

thank you guys so much for ur help

i have no clue what im doing lol

[autumn anvil]

As long as you're having fun, you're doing something right 🙂

[warm snow]

It's fine, Pattern is Expansion to a cap(50 here) then post expansion quests for a while(all 50) then finally new expansion and repeat

side note, at the end of the post expansion stuff you'll get a second credits sequence

[vestal narwhal]

Is the fastest way to lvl up your Retainer is sending them on a exploration?

[hot eagle]

fastest way without buying a retainer lvl skip would be doin quick exploration every hour when you are online and if you logout for a longer time send them on the 18h venture

[warm snow]

You also have to do the 18h ones for a bit to unlock quick ventures

[vagrant hornet]

Why would people join a lootmaster party

[glossy flare]

they apparently have more trust in random strangers than I have

[vagrant hornet]

Same

I would not trust anyone to actually do what they say they'd do anywhere

[clever roost]

I'm surprised you can clear the normal raids using party finder

Here I thought I would need a static group to get the savage mount

[rigid notch]

is paladin a good next job after drk? i really like tanking

i hit the level cap for free trial

!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]

They're all good jobs

and you're banned from Gunbreaker

[rigid notch]

oh no i meant i wanted to get some opinions from people who have done the same

[warm snow]

so flip a coin between it and war

that's more #general-discussion tbh

this is more of a helpdesk

[rigid notch]

thanks then

[warm snow]

A Lot of people pug Savage, even Ultimates although that latter is a lot harder for obvious reasons

[glossy flare]

pld is definitely a somewhat different playstyle more centered around properly cylcing your gcds as opposed to dumping your ogcds correctly on drk

so sure

still tanking, but different

[wary geode]

What's the fastest way to get Materia I?

[warm snow]

The market board

[wary geode]

aside the market board?

[warm snow]

well technically you can buy grade 1 crafter and gatherer materia from the ixal

[wary geode]

I need it for zodiac

[warm snow]

well there's no "Easy" way outside those

you could try your luck transmuting that doh/dol materia with mutamix

[wary geode]

Thank you

[fossil bloom]

say i blacklist player A, and then sometime later i am blacklisted by player B. would it be possible for us to join the same PF, hosted by a player none of us has blacklisted (say player C)?

[obsidian patio]

IIRC If anyone in the party is someone you blacklisted, then you can’t join.

Same for if the Party Leader blacklisted you

[vestal narwhal]

Really new to ff online how come people say “o/“ when I join a duty?

[warm snow]

It's a person waving

[faint flare]

It's a wave emoji

[vestal narwhal]

Oh lmao cute

[warm snow]

o is the Head, / is the arm

[steel wigeon]

it's a waving emoji
the O being the head and / being the a

[faint flare]

It's a very common mmo thing

[steel wigeon]

\o

[warm snow]

It took me a bit to realise that tbh

[steel wigeon]

the one that took me long to realise was orz or OTL

[flat wigeon]

i was confused too

i heard that emoji died a while back in the earlier days of the internet

[vestal narwhal]

Ima start using that emote as if I knew what it was all along now

[flat wigeon]

lol

i use it rarely

[steel wigeon]

i find it funny how you can notice where people are in the MSQ depending on their greeting

[leaden ginkgo]

I say meowdy even though I don't play a catgirl. What point am I in?

[obsidian patio]

The cringe zone.

[warm snow]

Mod harassment LMAOOOO

[mild ermine]

For the new alliance raid, is the coin drop unlimited? Cleared it for the first time last week, and cleared it again just now since I didn't get any rolls. That was my first clear, and it was 2/3 this morning when I cleared it and now 3/3. Basically I have 2 coins from just my 3/3 ?

Or do you get one for a first time clear as well?

[warm snow]

Weekly locked

Until 6.2

Then it becomes largely meaningless

Until 6.3

Weekly reset was 4 hours ago @mild ermine

Just to clarify how you have an extra

[barren granite]

qq on twitch .. sor of FFXIV related ... if twitch recognizes a copyright song being played and mutes the sound, id there anyway to retreive it? like adding in the copyrighted song info to the descripotion ?

[warm snow]

Ask twitch

But doubt

[barren granite]

ok ill have to use the force !!

[modest nimbus]

Is free trial time limited?

[solemn jewel]

nope

just content/level capped

but even if u reach cap u can still continue to play, just not progress past it

[modest nimbus]

alright

But when I try to play with the steam free trial launcher, it shows me this...

note: I have played the free trial last year, this time i linked official account with steam one.

[solemn jewel]

u cant play the trial on both

[hot eagle]

what does your mogstation account say? can you make a screenshot of it

[solemn jewel]

Ye so u played the standalone free trial right

[modest nimbus]

I guess so

[solemn jewel]

not the steam trial right

[modest nimbus]

So i need to go back to the standalone one.

[hot eagle]

you need the standalone freetrial launcher

[modest nimbus]

And when I later buy the game from steam, I can play no problem on both?

[solemn jewel]

idk if that still works cus u already linked the steam account

both isnt possible, its either standalone or steam

Alright, I'll try my luck going back on standalone. Ty for your help guys.

[warm snow]

@modest nimbus the 2 pc versions are mutually exclusive

[modest nimbus]

Oh one more thing, will I be able to play with steam players on standalone version?

[warm snow]

So make sure you buy from squenix or a trusted site when buying if you want that, otherwise, well it's your funeral/wallet

[warm snow]

It's all the one servers

[solemn jewel]

iirc machinist gets dicey here

[warm snow]

[warm snow]

All in one place

[modest nimbus]

Disgusting

I'm in

[warm snow]

I'm more surprised it has such consistent mac support

[lavish vortex]

as DNC i sometimes clip my GCD when double weaving, but im not sure its due to ping or just bad imput, i feel like its ping related though cause it happens often

[modest igloo]

ye

[warm snow]

Can be ping, depending on your gcd

[modest igloo]

its manageable but if you wanna do really high end stuff noclippy would be a good investment

[warm snow]

Your dnc burst also has a heat blast gcd equivalent with weaving

Well at 90

[lavish vortex]

and MCH is almost unplayable without clipping a lot, i cannot even fit the 5 gcds in Wildfire if i use ogcd

basically a third party tool that helps you lower your ping for ffxiv

at least, thats my basic understanding of it

[lavish vortex]

that sounds just about what i need lol, is it free?

[modest igloo]

alas thats where my knowledge of it ends

[mild ermine]

I always knew the resets were on tuesday for weekly things, but I thought it wasn't until 11 am est

[warm snow]

8 am server time

[modest igloo]

weekly reset is at 4 am est, not the same as daily reset

[mild ermine]

Okay thanks I guess that's what I was mixing it up with.

I appreciate the clarification.

Darn I guess I miss rolled ;-;

[cosmic sleet]

how do I get back to gangos? i forgor where the npc/landing was 💀

[faint flare]

Doman enclave

[cosmic sleet]

tyty

[warm snow]

@cosmic sleet attune to all the enclave aetherytes and it'll be added to the tp network there

[modest igloo]

does anyone have a guide for grinding out FC ranks?

[leaden ginkgo]

What’s a good UI setup for controller

[faint flare]

One you can see shit with

[leaden ginkgo]

I can barely see shit T^T

[faint flare]

Then change it so you can

[leaden ginkgo]

Orrrrr. Get hit by mechanics 😎

I actually have to turn that off becasue at times I can’t see mechanics because of other peoples moves

[faint flare]

Turn people's effects off

[hot eagle]

run dungeons unsync and turn the gear in for gc seals is a easy way for fc exp/curency

[leaden ginkgo]

I want to but the shiny things attract me. Im like a goblin. I like the shinies

[modest igloo]

ty~

[fast talon]

i've read somewhere before that the FPS limiter within XIV is bad/buggy and that people usually use another software to do it, what software is that?

[warm snow]

Idk what you've heard

But the game is designed for 60fps and going above that is known to cause instability

And also there's no gameplay advantage to going above it

Aside from the ability to potentially clip oob and get yourself a ban

[fast talon]

ah i see

okay thanks

[warm snow]

Tbf, that ban is only for doing it deliberately

And staying there

[elfin plover]

How far can mobs chase you in dungeons?

[strange coral]

As far as you can run

[boreal storm]

Forever

They don’t de aggro

[strange coral]

Bosses will stay tethered to their area though if you try to pull them out before the barrier goes up

Or rather they reset if you do

[elfin plover]

When do i know how to not overpull?

[boreal storm]

First off there’s literal walls blocking you off

Those don’t go away until the previous enemy group dies

[solemn jewel]

*some exceptions apply

copperbell has some funky ones that just fuck off after a while

[heavy wadi]

not sure if that's still an issue after the 6.1 revamp

[solemn jewel]

i did run new copperbell and i watched a spriggan just run away

in the uhh first pull? with the bridges?

[boreal storm]

“Coward!”

[modest igloo]

it is

well rather it still happens

[empty field]

Hey all! QQ: I bought an ARR skip for my alt and now I'm in HW but while the Aether Compass is supposed to be in Collections, it's greyed out and it's not in my key items. Anyone know where it is?

Supposedly, you could talk to an NPC in Ishgard if you lose it but he's only giving me a quest.

[boreal storm]

You get it from HW msq

So of course you don’t have it yet

[sick flint]

wheres the endsinger ex unlock quest? I did the normal version but the wandering mistrel doesnt have a new quest

[empty field]

Right, yes, that makes sense. Been forever since I did HW. Thank you!

[twilit arch]

There's no actual quest for the unlock, its just talking to the wandering minstrel

[boreal storm]

In sharlyan

[twilit arch]

and the ex will be in the high end duty section of the duty finder

[sick flint]

oh ye there it is lol, wasn't looking for it there

thanks

[wet geyser]

When you have 3 role classes, will you be able to pick which role you wanna get on duty finder? Or will it automatically assign you as all roles you have?
I wanna know especially for duty roulette

[glossy flare]

you will join the duty with the job you queued with

so assume you have black mage, paladin and white mage unlocked

and you click on the queue button while being on the white mage

then you'll enter the duty as a white mage

[teal laurel]

I have one question that I'd really like to know the answer to, what's the best way to earn Gil? I am still fairly early in the game, but just so I know if I ever happen to run out.

[glossy flare]

There is no easy answer to that

[wet geyser]

ah i see. thank you

[teal laurel]

I'm guessing selling items of low worth is pretty much an instant no?

[steel wigeon]

if you have any crafter to level 30, you can desynth equipments to earn materials, to sell via retainers, doing roulettes give your some gils here and there aswell

[glossy flare]

to vendors? I mean it is free gil

to other players is how you make big bucks in the long run

but we can't tell you what to sell

[teal laurel]

That's actually good to know, thank you! I did start as a Miner recently. Not sure if that lets me desynth anything, but I can always take another job of course.

[faint flare]

You que up as the role you que with

[steel wigeon]

nopey nope, it's a blue quest you gotta learn in uldah

and require a crafter

so disciple of the hand

miner is a gatherer, disciple of the land

[teal laurel]

Oh I see. Do weavers count as DoH? I remember that being available in Ul'dah.

[boreal storm]

Yes as they’re not gatherers

[warm snow]

Well what does a weaver do?

[teal laurel]

Not weave

Thanks for the help. I'll start working on weaver next 👍

[boreal storm]

Also the job list in the character profile literally tells you which ones are what

[steel wigeon]

they weave skills Kappa

[steel wigeon]

but yeah, once you hit 30 in any of them
go check uldah with the level 30 crafter equiped, a blue quest should appear unlocked there

...i forgot which step tho

if it's nald or thal

[teal laurel]

No worries, I'll figure it out.

[boreal storm]

You need all the crafters btw if you want to desynth everything

[sick flint]

so if I cleared p1s and didn't get loot, can't I get loot from it until next reset?

[narrow jay]

yep, that was your shot

[sick flint]

lmao ok

[steel wigeon]

oop

.... at least the feature is unlocked at level 30
that's something i guess

[warm snow]

And repair

The one crafter is melding

[teal laurel]

One at a time, I'd say. I can still earn Gil with my main quests (and I got a handful of side quests everywhere), was just wondering how to do it once I'm done with it.

[warm snow]

Actually the opposite

Because they all share gear it's more efficient to level them all at once

[boreal storm]

You earn Gil By selling things that people want on the market

[steel wigeon]

just so i know, where are you in the MSQ?
if you completed heavensward, i guess you can do the wondrous tails aswell

[rain flower]

why cant i do this? i have the dungeon, same with the ampador quest too

[boreal storm]

You didn’t complete it

[steel wigeon]

clear "the wanderer's palace" (a dungeon)

[boreal storm]

You have to beat the first part for the hard mode to make any sense continuity wise

[rain flower]

i swear i did it\

i guess not

[warm snow]

Maybe an old alt

[steel wigeon]

if the game say so

[warm snow]

Pre materia

[frosty badger]

Is the housing lottery resumed now?

[warm snow]

Kinda

#lodestone-news-na

[teal laurel]

Before I answer that, if I wrap the spoilers around with || on each side, I am on the safe side regarding that right? (Very new to the server, I did read the rules but I want to be double sure)

[warm snow]

Yes that's how spoiler tags work

[steel wigeon]

you should be safe, but with 2 |

[teal laurel]

Excellent, thanks. Now to answer it:

Just finished the quest where I had to ||go to southern Thanalan and stop the primal summoning||.

Also, when I sell my stuff, do I get more if I sell it to the right type of merchant?

[steel wigeon]

so ||spoileeers||

yeah, still in ARR

[warm snow]

You're stupid early still

[steel wigeon]

nevermind me then,

[modest igloo]

nah, same to all vendors

[teal laurel]

Oh dear, here I thought I did at least a mediocre fraction of the main story. I'll have a lot of fun doing that.

[modest igloo]

save 1 that you cant access for a while on your end

[modest igloo]

yeah ur about 2% done

[boreal storm]

It’s lvl 20 msq, but like the game goes all the way to lvl 90

[teal laurel]

[boreal storm]

So have fun

[modest igloo]

well for every expac, theres also POST expac msq

so theres over 100 lvl 50 msq quests

[teal laurel]

Thanks, I guess. At least I'll be kept busy I suppose. Doesn't make it very repetitive.

[steel wigeon]

yeah, the story is quite humongus

[wet geyser]

hello, so when changing classes. the hotkey will also change, but only until 3 hotkey bars right? is there a way to increase it?

[modest igloo]

5 full jrpgs now

[warm snow]

You're maybe a fifth into the base game

Let alone the following 4 expansions

[boreal storm]

Keybind s don’t change

[steel wigeon]

in your character settings(?), shared hotbars

[wet geyser]

yes the keybind dont, but the hotbar changed. 1~3.

[boreal storm]

Yes that’s good

You don’t want WHM spells showing on a not WHM

[steel wigeon]

oh wait, increasing the amount of hotbars

[boreal storm]

And 3bars for skills is enough

[steel wigeon]

escape > hud layout
go ham

i use 4 to 5 for skills

[wet geyser]

I can't find it @.@ but is it only 3 hotbar? Can i changed it to 4 maybe?

[boreal storm]

Again character settings, go look at it

[wet geyser]

OHHH... sorry. found them @.@ thank you. I'm blind

[severe nimbus]

How do people get the normal looking clothes on ffxiv? I want jeans

[boreal storm]

Be more specific
There’s a good amount of jeans

[faint flare]

Crafting... Gold saucer...ishgard restoration etc

[severe nimbus]

I guess blue?

[mortal current]

Tantalus breeches are one possibility. You get it as a reward for being subbed for 150 days.

[severe nimbus]

Damn that's another skill to pick up

I see

[rigid notch]

just started AST, is it worth using benefic or do i just use benefic 2 mainly

[heavy wadi]

use benefic 2

[stark hawk]

Why do I keep getting "kicked" out of the queue? Every role is full except DPS we need one more then suddenly everything resets back to ZERO as if they entered the raid and I was replaced? is it because I am AFK?

[leaden ginkgo]

i made my character on a bonus server, does the bonus last 90 days or until server loses bonus status? tyvm

[rigid notch]

ty

[boreal storm]

90 days at the minimum

[heavy wadi]

either someone withdrew or you didn't press accept and the timer ran out.

[stark hawk]

No no, the accept button didn't appear.

[leaden ginkgo]

even if server is not bonus server anymore i still have bonus?

[warm snow]

Then a dps paired with the missing role took your spot or smth

[twilit arch]

correct, you have it 90 days after character creaitonn

[boreal storm]

You WILL GET 90 days

[warm snow]

Or some stopped queuing and the whole thing was reset

Could be anything

[stark hawk]

I am assuming its because I am afk? The system assumes that I am not at my computer and resets my queue again?

[twilit arch]

no

[boreal storm]

Wait what are you even queueing for

[twilit arch]

even if you're afk, the accept screen would still pop up

[warm snow]

Or you had ppl queuing with enter in progress duty and they got Dragged into thay

Stop fussing over it

[stark hawk]

Nier raids.

[stark hawk]

Its frustrating though. 30minutes of waiting then it gets reset again

Oh well.

[warm snow]

Cest la vie

Also reset is in less than 60s

So yeah it'll probably get a group via that soob

[rigid notch]

starting ast, do i put draw and play on an easy to reach hotbar

[cosmic sleet]

do y'all think a lvl 70 dungeon is faster unsycned with 2x 590+ players or synced with the usual 4?

[stark hawk]

Yeah, cards are important

[dense hound]

Yes

[twilit arch]

yes, because you will be using it constantly

[rigid notch]

thanks

[stark hawk]

Prob unsynced

[cosmic sleet]

tyty

[stark hawk]

from my experience level 60 dungeons clear really fast unsycned

close enough to 70

[frosty badger]

So I reached submarine rank 10 but there are no new missions

How can I advance

[dry belfry]

can you solo the Aquapolis now?

[faint flare]

With blue mage only

[dry belfry]

does it sync down unavoidably?

[faint flare]

Yes

You can't turn it off

[dry belfry]

good to know

[urban grotto]

trying to get shuffle points for WT, where is the best place to find new players to a duty?

[boreal storm]

Roulettes, obviously
First time PFs
Doing duties you forgot about

[urban grotto]

ah ok

[umbral dune]

both trial and normal raid are quite fast

which is literally the only thing you need, even no first timer, it ends fast so you can try again

[south tangle]

Is there any way to turn down ability sfx

[faint flare]

Character configuration > 4 tab > battle effects

Turn party to limited to hide everything except ground aoes (ie healer bubbles)

Others can be off

[boreal storm]

They said sound effects

[remote lintel]

system config

[flat wigeon]

how do i get to the great gubal library

[supple hazel]

where do I find flax, I'm gonna go broke trying to buy some...

[sleek needle]

Right click > search by gathering, or enter gathering menu and search for it there

N by default on pc

[gusty cipher]

Have you done the heavansward main story to take you there?

[flat wigeon]

ive gone to the dravanian hinterlands if thats what you mean

[supple hazel]

okay, thank you!

[flat wigeon]

im in the area

i need to figure out how to get to the spot specifically

i cant find a single path that goes there

[gusty cipher]

Going from the witch's cave it should be a fairly straight path east, takes you to some stairs near a broken bridge to climb up

[flat wigeon]

and where is the witches cave

[flat wigeon]

you do realize

that im on the right side of the map

[twilit arch]

then you're on the wrong side

because you need to be on the left side to get the gubal

[flat wigeon]

I DONT KNOW HOW TO GET TO THE OTHER SIDE

[twilit arch]

go into idyllshire

and take the exit that goes to the left side

[boreal storm]

You went on the left side for the story
You’ve been there before

[flat wigeon]

oh ok

i didnt know there was a left exit

[boreal storm]

(Looks at map)

[flat wigeon]

well i literally JUST got into idyllshire but i had this summoner quest for ages and im tyrna finish it

[gusty cipher]

Ahh

[boreal storm]

Do the story dude

[twilit arch]

if you just got to idyllshire, then you need to continue with msq

before you can go into the left side

[flat wigeon]

oh ok

[warm snow]

just unlock flight lol

[tranquil locust]

flight's seriously the best

I beat ultima yesterday and had to play until I got outside and was just like o.o

[boreal storm]

You’re also gonna need to get to zone 6 to finish the SMN quests anyway iirc

[tranquil locust]

I had a Burning Wall hunting log and just breezed through it

[umbral dune]

before one of the aether current of that zone is on the very bridge you are trying to get to, not sure if it still exist now

[violet fox]

Ayo can i send photos here

[boreal storm]

If it’s relevant to your question, yeah

[violet fox]

Ok so

What is this thingy

[boreal storm]

The page tells you what gear they’re wearing

[violet fox]

The thing is it doesnt

[heavy wadi]

it's a hairstyle

styled for hire

[violet fox]

Ooh

[heavy wadi]

it's part of it

[violet fox]

Ok thx

[last flare]

[modest igloo]

https://tenor.com/view/sad-baby-frown-cry-tantrums-gif-4649018

[last flare]

ok thx

[modest igloo]

Ye playing a healer solves most ques

[hot eagle]

also isnt it like rly early for the us on a workday so its far from primetime

[heavy wadi]

it's noon

not super early

reset just happened

[last flare]

i cannot party with NFT anymore right?

[serene holly]

guys can you help me find a mount please, I saw it on a stream earlier

it was like a small brick and the player character was hanging down from it

[boreal storm]

That’s the Nier pod

Gold saucer 300k after doing the raids

[serene holly]

ohhh no

ive never done any raids

[boreal storm]

Then you’re far from that anyway

Nier raids are lvl 80

[fast talon]

been getting sudden frame drops a lot lately and from some stuff like afterburner i think my cpu might be bottlenecking my gpu, is there anything i can do in game to help alleviate that or is this a purely hardware thing.

[slate arrow]

Lower your resolution. If you're running it at 4k that can cause bottlenecking since FFXIV isn't very graphics intensive

[fast talon]

hm, already running it at 1920x1080 in borderless windowed, anything lower makes it look cramped

and also for some reason messes up my hotbars

[slate arrow]

What's your specs then, and is it a laptop?

[fast talon]

yeah laptop

granted its not like constant drops but every now and then things will just drop to single digits, and on msi afterburner it says both gpu and cpu usage drop

[slate arrow]

My laptop by default has thermal throttling happen after a few minutes of gaming, so I use Throttlestop to downclock most of my computer performance to 90%

[fast talon]

hm i'll look into that, though i use an AMD and from what ive read you cant undervolt those

unless that's not the same thing

[slate arrow]

no Throttlestop is for your CPU

No undervolting required

[fast talon]

oh, i thought throttle stop was undervolting, that's what i tended to find when i looked it up

[slate arrow]

Because it sounds like a thermal performance problem

Alternatively, try a cooling pad

[fast talon]

i actually did order one recently, still just waiting on it

if it is being thermally throttled

i did notice the temperature be really high when the dip happened

[slate arrow]

eyup sounds like thermals

[fast talon]

in the off chance i decided to try throttle stop, you got a guide or tutorial i can use? the ones i found seem to be about undervolting unless im just misunderstanding whats happening there

[slate arrow]

I just use it to cap the CPU performance. I don't think I messed with the actual voltage unless that's what it does by default

[fast talon]

i see, okay, i'll definitely look into it then if hte cooling pad doesnt help

thanks a lot

[sick flint]

how much would it cost to get a crafting job to 50

[boreal storm]

Depends on the market

[hot eagle]

nothing if you gather all yourself

[boreal storm]

That too

[brave ivy]

depends what method

[umbral dune]

the cost is just when you start becoming lazy

[boreal storm]

The “laziness tax”, it gets us all eventually

[brave ivy]

yeah i dropped i think 1.3 mil ish to lvl every crafter to near 80

[vast ferry]

is swiftcast a direct dps increase on spells that have longer cast time than their ogcd time

[flat herald]

Hello! I need to make a chat macro for rp stuff, but depending on the context i might need to whisper it at times. Does that mean i need two separate macros? One for tell and one for say

[vast ferry]

i think if you don't specificy in the macro it chooses whatever you have your chat set to through the drop down

[somber sand]

why the dialogue has no voice?

[glossy flare]

not all cutscenes are voiced

[robust crow]

generally yes but only if it ends up enabling you to finish an extra cast by the time the boss dies

[glossy flare]

that's all there's to it

[robust crow]

it's better to swift spells for movement since you'd end up losing far more DPS from a clipped movement than you would gain from just a swift

[mystic blaze]

What’s the best gear set for summoner post 60?

[boreal storm]

Shire

[robust crow]

poetics gear, then dungeon gear

[mystic blaze]

Gotcha

[robust crow]

same pattern all the way to max

[narrow jay]

Shire until around 65, dungeon gear past that, then Scaevan when you finish SB and unlock endgame gear.

[mystic blaze]

Oh dang. I'm at level 66

Guess I have some catching up to do

[boreal storm]

Have you beat stormblood tho

[mystic blaze]

No lol

[warm snow]

Your personal level means jackshit

What matters is your current msq level

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way to find where to get/buy a crafting material in-game? I'm leveling leather worker and I have to Google something every 30 seconds

[boreal storm]

right click, search by Gathering/crafting method

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh thanks a lot! Never noticed that. When it's something that can be bought by an NPC?

[boreal storm]

First off you don’t wanna do that, because it’s definitely a rip off and no HQ bonus

[leaden ginkgo]

Materials that can be bought by an NPC have a "shop selling price" right?

[boreal storm]

Yes, but read what I just said

[south tangle]

(Quick note, most npcs will only sell materials up to level 15 anyways)

[leaden ginkgo]

Why a rip-off? NPC prices are low in general from what I've seen

Oooh I see

[south tangle]

Tbh, if your buying raw materials it’s fine. You can’t get HQ raw stuff

Sometimes crafting recipes (mostly cooking) use low level materials in high level crafts so it’s more convenient to just go buy the raw stuff at a supplier

[shut jolt]

When I cast a healing spell on a target my character turns towards that person is there a way to remove this?

[warm snow]

You almost never want vendor equipment

[south tangle]

(You can’t even get milk for culinary outside of vendors)

[south tangle]

Talking about vendor materials

[warm snow]

you face a target while casting, that's how the game works. although there is a setting for your camera in these cases

[boreal storm]

Yes you can, it’s a combat drop

[south tangle]

Ah

Still

[warm snow]

Depends on the Milk

[south tangle]

It can’t be hq

[boreal storm]

It can

[warm snow]

*now

[warm snow]

not any more

[south tangle]

^

[shut jolt]

in the camera options?

[leaden ginkgo]

Thank you all by the way!

[boreal storm]

I was sure combat drops can still be HQ, but what do I know

[south tangle]

Tbh I’m glad about that (even though I never had to do it)

[tranquil locust]

yeah same

my inventory's small enough already

[green grail]

"automatically face target when using action", just keep in mind that if you disable it you will have to move your character manually to face the target of any heal or damage skill so it's very, very recommended to keep it on

[gusty hare]

ok so I'm a Sage with ilvl 587, using Phlegma every time I can and keeping DoT up all the time, using Dosis 100% of the remaining time, but I still can't beat Sky, Stone, Sea challenge for P4S. what can I do better?

[heavy wadi]

honestly the p4s SSS is obscenely high tuned

[outer mural]

!faq SSS

[zinc orbit]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[outer mural]

tl;dr Sky Stone Sea is not an accurate reflection of one's damage for a variety of reasons, sometimes with it being overtuned

[gusty hare]

oh ok so I'm not an idiot for not being able to beat it even with enough ilvl?

[heavy wadi]

one of the top DRKs was unable to beat the p4s dummy, you'd basically need perfect crit luck to kill it

[gusty hare]

that's good to know :P

ohh

[little swift]

Could also be some small adjustments to rotation as well

Not that sage has inherent burst windows

But aligning correctly is still a good habit to make

[fair barn]

Is it just me or is it harder to find duties as a dps than it is as a tank or healer (sorry for the interruption, just curious if anyone else has noticed this)

[regal pawn]

yes

because more people play dps than thee other roles

that's kinda standard cause people zoom to dps because "less responsibility = more stupid" or something like that

[fair barn]

It’s kinda hard because I love playing summoner, but it’s hard to find any duties unless I’m playing a healer like scholar

[regal pawn]

play summoner anyways and cope

[outer mural]

it's a consequence of DPS being the most easy to understand role, with the most amount of classes dedicated and a large variety so a lot more people just play it

[regal pawn]

grow some patience

[boreal storm]

Just wait longer lmao

[outer mural]

yeah i would just learn to be patient, it's just a consequence of this game

eventually you'll play DPS and you'll have to face it sooner or later even if you play healer now

c'est la vie

[fair barn]

Aight, makes sense 👍

[outer mural]

to be clear you can still TP and do non-instance stuff while waiting for queue so you're not just dead in the water

[distant plaza]

Is the highest ilvl food the best for leveling as well or should I just buy Grand Company food?

[gusty hare]

aligning with what?

[outer mural]

all food gives the exact same exp bonus

[boreal storm]

Just buy eggs

[outer mural]

the only difference in different levels of food is the stats but you don't need to worry about that outside of endgame

[little swift]

Banking resources without overcap for 2minute buffs for example

[distant plaza]

Niether melding right?

[gusty hare]

I use Phlema whenever it has any charges, it's all the offensive resources Sage has :/

[little swift]

Learning to drift/bank into 2minute windows is a valuable skill

[boreal storm]

Nope, because lvl sync makes melds not work

[shut jolt]

I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH I LOVE YOU SO MUCH

[outer mural]

yeah don't bother melding until max level because it's not necessary and most likely won't go int oeffect with how level sync works

[outer mural]

yeah Channy just means saving and not using it until you explicitly need to move or put it in buffs

it's not applicable to SSS because there's no ncessary movement nor buffs to work with but it's soemthign to think about

[distant plaza]

Great, thanks for the clairifications!

[hazy iron]

hello everyone, i hhave been playing WoW for the last 15 years and looking to get into something else... my issue is i have no friends here and dont know besides watching videos what the end game and raiding is like... do you run dungeons with the same ppl with voice ? is it to late to jump in the game? im currently lvl 15 tank

[crystal bluff]

There's no ingame voice chat
The game will queue you with random players for dungeons

[strange coral]

Statics (raid teams) will usually use voice chat, such as Discord, for high-end duties

[hazy iron]

do they use disc for raids or hard dugeons?

[crystal bluff]

For high end raids people will use discord and stuff yeah

[narrow jay]

There's also no fear about "getting in too late"; the game is ten years old, but the developers have said they have content roughly planned out for at least another ten years.

[regal pawn]

no such thing as hard dungeons

[pure zenith]

hard dungeons are just normal dungeons

[crystal bluff]

Except copperbell mines

[regal pawn]

skill issue

[pure zenith]

they just use the same location as an older dungeon

[narrow jay]

Also yeah, as of right now, dungeons are a fairly casual content. There's a new type of "dungeon" content coming out here in one of the upcoming major patches, but we don't know anything about it other than its name.

[hazy iron]

How would you say honestly the community is on new players and how easy would it be to jump into raiding since thats what i enjoy most is meeting ppl and playing together

[regal pawn]

braindead easy
