yeah you can PF anything, just be clear about intentions
confused on food buff for potd
I'm going in as mch
should I use new endgame food or can I just use high hw food
guys, i'm having troubles when logging in
im typing correctly the password on launcher
but it says invalid password and so on
you should be using the highest food you can because it has a higher cap on the bonus stats
but i can log in to mog station
i'm sure there's math breakpoints for most optimal food for 60 synced potd but i don't think there's any documentation for that
Are u leaving the one time password blank
yes
so technically potd is easier than before
Are you using your SE ID or Email
Are u sure it's the right account
You MUST Use your SE ID
very very technically yes with better food you are marginally better than before
i have played 2h ago xd
but it's so small who cares lmao
i have now typed OTP and it worked
are you maxed out 99/99 aetherpool?
Well ye if u have a otp u gotta usw it
ish
i have every time to use OTP?
okay
If u set it up yes
just use the best food then if you're soloing hard
didnt know it, thx bro
let me ask my friend if there's anything else you should worry about
Level 90 food probably cheaper than 60 food due to more supply
it's pretty much only food and everything else is sustain potions and smart play in regards to your item
also a fuckton of RNG so

yes
Does BLU have a Eureka or Bozja weapon?
no because same reason
ask if BLU can do it, and if it can't then it also will just not have a weapon
BLU pretty much only has weapons from masked carnivale and the BLU questline
that would make sense
go about your business, or if you really can you can screenshot and report on the SE website
Does anyone know what sorting rule for weapons in armoury?
highest level then organized by job
Thank you.
Is there scedule of events this 2022 or no?
no
Ok thanks
I'm kinda new to savage raiding, but I cleared p2s in a 0 chest party, since there weren't chests and I didn't get to roll on anything, am I able to rerun it for loot or is it forfeit for the week
for reapers what actions change into lemure slice and lemure scythe respectively
once a week
soul slice and soul scythe
!faq savageloot
In a 1-chest clear, the chest received is random
First Floor:
Chest A: 2x Accessory Coffer
Chest B: Accessory Coffer
Second Floor:
Chest A: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer + Weapon Tomestone + Accessory upgrade material
Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer
Third Floor:
Chest A: Leg Coffer
Chest B: Head/Hand/Feet Coffer + Left-side upgrade material + Weapon upgrade material
Fourth Floor:
Chest A: Weapon Coffer + Mount
Chest B: Random Weapon + Chestpiece Coffer
forfeit
you get a book right
I did get a book
even if the rest of the party is 1 chest
death stalk, guillotine
Any tips for Ninja mudra? I feel like playing a summoner. Summoning Bunny of shame.
you only focus on 2 things
number of mudras and last mudra in sequence
that's what determines which ninjutsu is cast
Oh..
otherwise it just comes with muscle memory
you generally want to do ten chi for raiton, and ten chi jin for suiton though
I see.
and similarly you want to do jin ten chi for doton, jin ten for katon
I hope SE gives a bunny a utility skills at least. Feel bad. 😦
mostly muscle memory for your L70 skill
basically just put your mudras in order so you can 1 2 3 for suiton
then 1 2 for raiton
Good idea. Thx
mudras really arent that hard to memorize
the only ones you use are like
1 2 for ST
2 1 for aoe
1 2 3 for suiton
3 2 1 for huton
1 3 for hyosho
So gatherer meld question,
I am following this for pentamelding my pactmaker gear:
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1FS3Z
But when I try to apply the GP +8 it says Unable to meld on my accessories but I am not sure why it keeps telling me this.
It let me add on the +25 Perception / Gathering, but the GP it won't let me do and I am not capped or anything when I do it.
It's also X>X>VI so its a "lower" grade but still like "nope"
You don't have overmelding unlocked
Go back to mutanix and unlock Advanced Melding 2
Well i finished pentamelding my crafter gear so I assumed I had everything unlocked
Yea XD that's why I'm like "WHY WONT IT LET ME DO"
Gotchu one sec
@slate arrow If you need another screenshot let me know
You can't meld 6 or 8s past the first overmeld slot
(or 10s)
last quest of base arr ||has anyone actually cleared the dps check before? I've tried a few times and can't manage it||
of lahabrah?
I am...confused I'm sorry. Whatcha mean? I thought it was like once you meld say an IX you cannot meld over that with an X
yes
that's impossible to clear
The one where ||Hydaelyn brings you back||? That’s intentional
||i know it's not required, i'm just curious if it's possible. I got it down to 50% on the last orb||
you're even synced
Pretty sure you can kill it all on very easy
so you can't overlevel it and steamroll
So yes, you can "clear" the dps check
but nothing changes

is there a way to check auto attack potency?
on the weapon
auto attack value
Look at the tooltip for the materia. It tells you can't use it in overmelding after the first overmeld slot. You already put something in both the normal slot and the first overmeld slot.
ahhh, I see
pretty sure it's like 100 for most jobs
thanks!
I know housing stuff is wack rn, but in preparation, are the price thingies at the aetheryte accurate, or are there any hidden fees to watch out for? (Moving houses not buying, if it matters)
OHHHHHHHHH I AM USING THE WRONG MATERIA I NEVER KNEW THAT OHHHH
Thank you both!!!
You'll need to buy a building permit as well
For moving? It's been awhile so I might be misremembering but I thought it's only if you're buying without already owning a house 🤔
Oooh, sick
Any way to check the reduced price?
Or is what I see at the aetheryte already reduced 🤔
They've disabled the trade in function with the lottery
You always pay full price for the ticket I believe now
Darn 😔
I have a questions if i player the free trail version from the internet site if i buy the steam version od the game can i still transfer my character
Epic
i'm done with the garo title after getting all 3 mounts yeah?
yes
Do we have relic armor like the weapons? Glowy armors.
Well if you want to be able to rebuy the armor make sure you get all the titles
Not really no
closest thing to relic armor is the elemental armor from eureka
There was a kinda relic armor set in stormblood that had bright highlights but the relic armor equivalent in ShB had no highlights
and thats it
I see…
(4.56)
ok so in ||a requiem for heroes, the last quest of 4.56, where you fight zenos and he does the attack where he puts a bunch of swords on the ground and you have to destroy them all or he one shots you. I kill all of them before the bar even halfway charges and I still get instawiped.||
tf am I supposed to do
how do i use a glowing abdomen
Can DeLu Reg be unsynced?
no
Get better gear?
Can it be soloed@remote lintel
no
If you're breaking the swords before the bar fills, the only reason you'd be dying is if your gear is insufficient.
My brother in Christ it does 999999 damage
what do you mean a glowing abdomen
Then you're not breaking all of the swords.
You're missing one and the bar is filling.
thats what im saying
I'll try again and see then
@polar shoal mechs
i have no idea what item youre talking about
Can you provide context for your question?
Is it an item?
i need to use it to dispell an enemy's true form
yeah
It will appear next to the quest name as an icon.
The item is on the duty list
It’s in your key items, and depending on the leve it drops from a specific enemy
should i even bother with these quest
Honestly, no
levequests arent good for combat jobs
Terrible for combat
Target the mob you want to dispel, and use the item either from your key items inventory or the quest list.
At this current point in time levels are primarily for crafting and gathering jobs
ok thank you
Combat leves are legacy content due to achievements and other content still requiring them
adamantoise tears is good to farm if you're below level 16 or so though
It really isn’t
Hunt logs are better under level 16
Even fates are faster
no I know what they are it's just
even if the leveling is faster I always get unlucky spawns lol
what should i use my poetics on if I'm capped
they're all always way under or over leveled for me when I need them
!faq poetics
Then you’re not in the right area of the map
Is there a bank I can put my stuff until I decide what to do with it?
Retainers, as long as you're not on free trial.
Also the saddlebag
can I use those in the field?
can't use the saddle bag in the field either?
Saddlebag can be used wherever though
I don’t even know why you’re worrying rn, you have plenty of space
I've filled up all those spaces in like... one play through
Play through of what
And how much content?
And how many of those items are you actually gonna use?
anything with a shop selling price u can buy again from an npc
Rule of thumb: the things that look like gold coins - you're selling them
They're not good for anything else
Not in instances
I'm just running around gathering stuff -- botany atm
Oh god, yeah if you're on trial sell or dump on retainers
Especially since you want that juicy gathering log bonus exp
I haven't used that yet
You don't get retainers til you've progressed the main story enough
Literally EVERYTHING is locked behind main story progress
I think I have them
I played a long time ago and my next story quest is lvl 41?
just muckin' around atm
re-learning everything
But you have to do the
in one of the starting cities
No problem, some ppl get distracted super early and it can nuke your inventory
ye
I remember tapping the bell in my home city before
for those dudes who pop up
ty all
Also can you go to #860652505117753384, it’d really help to know your dc
oh, I have one now so I can do that -- will do
I think I got it now?
Is it worth going after hidden stuff in botany?
depends on what it is
Those seeds are useless without a house or apartment for example
Depending on the seed, you might make an easy buck just selling to someone
is there a place to look up the cost of apartments/housing? I hear tell that gardening can make some moolah
I guess I could just google it
nvm nvm
They're listed on available plots, but the general rule of thumb is that apartments are either 300k or 500k, small plots are roughly 2-3mil, medium ~17-20mil, larges (if any are left at this point) ~50mil.
The issue with housing isn't typically price so much as it is availability.
bigger houses have more gardening plots and more item limits
ah
!faq housing
Currently I believe there are still almost no personal housing plots left available. We'll have to wait and see if SE decides to shift some FC-only wards to personal ones, which they may or may not do based on demand over the next one or two lottery waves.
!faq samurai
#kupo-bot-spam
In #kupo-bot-spam . I think the tag is !faq samrotation or something similar
ah, thanks
Is housing gonna be harder to get in the future if I don’t get one through these lotteries?
¯_(ツ)_/¯
I mean, it's lottery
The lottery is the only way to get housing
So presumably your difficulty will remain approximately the same.
Oh… was it always the lottery system??
There you go! That’s what made me confused.
Previously you'd just have to camp a signboard and hope you beat the other 15 people (and 20 bots) trying to get the same plot
unless there's a limit to the amount of people that can que for a house, we gonna compete with thousands of people
And the specialized housing depending on the ward
I thought the lottery is only for the initial plots in the new residential area and after that its gonna be the same old system.
Nope, it's full on lottery now
Cool. Thx
And yeah, they did reserve half the districts as FC-only
They’ve mentioned they can switch to the old system if they want but for now it’s lotto only
Any new plots will also default to lotto
I guess lottery system is fair
Unless someone with multiple accounts bid on it. lol
multiple accounts means they have to pay multiple subs so
And that’s only one house, they’d get
how do I check beginner rotation for samurai on kupo spam?
^
Yeah. If someone is that devoted to get a house and in the process support the SE let them have a house. lol
it seems to give me lvl 90
there is no beginner rotation because it doesnt matter
Just take out the abilities that you don't have at 90
That's your 50 rotation
cool
SAM is super straightforward at 50
opener at 50 is
meikyo -> gekko for damage boost, kasha for speed boost -> yuki to round it out -> midare
-> yukikaze combo again -> higanbana
- build up combos to midare
- higanbana when it's about to run out
- use meikyo off cd while also not clipping your combo
SAM is my main for a reason. Very straight forward.
And not mind-numbing 123 combo

do you want a bonus tip for optimization loe
there's the 'never use meikyo yuki' thing that isn't super apparent to people who just pick it up
but yeah i agree
typo fixed
never use yukikaze is not even entirely correct I think
if it means you drift meikyo shisui too much
thanks, time to practice
Freestyle SAM best SAM
you can invuln the 2 red but you still have to do the kbs
thats all i need cool
Get tomestone gear
better accessories?
OK
Just replace your accessories with Moonward accessories and you should be good.
Just buy classical gear
get aphormism gear, which is like 570? or buy crafted pieces to get yourself to 580/590
you can spend this
in the worst case
if you have some gil, just go buy some crafted gera
oops
that's the wrong tome
kek
this 1
crafted gear is my recommendation because it'd be good up until you even do savage since you can augment it too
I have access to eureka hydatos so I can just bunny farm for gil when needed
a full crafted set is like a few hundred k
4.5M might not be enough to buy HQ crafted
classical doesn't take more than like a mill if you put caution to the wind
yeah it's like 300k for a full i580 crafted hq classical set
it's pretty low rn too
it's absolute dirt
if u really dont care yeah like 500k tops
at this point
buy augmented classical, so you can choose which classical you need to buy
You can’t buy that
it was like 100k for some accessories on my market but then again i was just taking a cursory glance when augmented just came out
buying only classical will force you to buy a specific slot
so i don't doubt it's just real cheap rn
all the prices spiked at 6.1 launch
went from 200k a set to like 200k a piece
fell back down in like 3 weeks
You can’t buy augmented crafted gear Vielen
You never can
Does Sharlayan have an MB or do I have to go to Thavnair?
it does
it should literally be right next to the aetheryte, a bit north towards the market section
OH
I was looking next to the summoning bell
Only the first 4 tiers of Pandae have been released rn, correct?
Along with ||Golbez and the fiends||
Spoilers dude
Earrings, necklace, bracelet, or ring
don't buy ornate classical it's a scam, and only buy HQ gear
Since your lowest ilevel stuff is your accessories right now
yep
Yeah
just make sure you buy a HQ 1
But just get an accessory or two
Yeah don’t get scammed
No need to get a full set if you just want to get into Panda
How do I tell if something is HQ?



It will have that icon next to it
Oh yeah, the Shadow the Hedgehog looking emblem
HQ items if youre going by picture also have that...sparkle
and will be near the best stuff you can get for some time
At least get the weapon if anything
right is HQ, left is normal
What's the difference between classical and ornate classical?
ornate is just 5 slots naturally. not worth it this late
ornate you can penta meld with no RNG
but penta meld is entirely garbage now when you can get 590 nigh instantly
ornate is also just super expensive because it is rare
it's basically a week 1 savage clearing thing
yeah but u can stockpile gold certs when u get em once in a blue moon?
Huh, the Classical Longsword is actually worse than my current sword
HQ remember
you trade the HQ to envelopes
then trade the envelopes to the augmented version
with no HQ, you'll get less envelopes
580 gear is always better than 560 stat wise
There is no debate
hq classical longsword is 190 str, 194 vit, 181 det, 127 crit hit
True, which is why we’re reminding guy about HQ
Then you can't make an assertionfor no debate
All ready to go for Pandae now! I seem to have a comfortable breeze in my thighs, though
Thanks!
Make sure to save the set
you can do the alliance raid for better gear
And radiant gear is still a thing, which can be augmented
Will Pandae function like other Raid hub areas where the waiting area changes appearance overtime as you progress?
all others have done that
We don't know
we only have the first tier dude
Oh yeah, I keep forgetting, I'm not the sprout I once was
You also haven’t done them yet, so like
I could also go cheese O12S if I wanted to
No you definitely can’t, not alone
concerned for what reason
Are they getting aggroed? If not then whatever, you’re doing decent
Yes
yes
if you're new and don't know how to do a new mechanic who cares
also to be clear there are orbs that come towards the team from the edges of the arena, towards the giant sword
but usually it's not that big an issue
when were you asked? before or during the fight
does shout cover the whole zone?
Nowadays, old dungeons are trivial. People can just dps through the mechanics and win sometimes.
yes
if a person asks you during the fight then that's their fault
i'm not going to criticze anyone for not being able to improvize a mechanic they've never heard on the spot
so that was not your fault and, with all due respect, you are being way too anxious
Orbs happen at the sword bit
also yeah that's fine as long as you're willing to learn and get out of your comfort zone eventually
The constantly running ahead thing for dungeons isn't really supposed to be a scary concept either. The dungeons at that point in the game are designed such that you grab all the mobs in one space up until the game gates you off and then you kill then all before repeating
Just tank what you're comfortable with
If someone actually gives you shit for small pulling just mute them
the standard is 2 packs at least but let the healer know you're learning
But it's fine to learn just don't be afraid to push yourself
at some point you should try to tell the healer you're uncomfortable with big pulls and are going to try
Tanks are fully capable of taking a lot alone too
and if you die then no one will fault you because you're testing it out
yeah there's only a few exceptions like the first few stormblood dungeons being quite mean
Btw, is there a website the show each dungeon’s mechanics and stuff on quick and dirty way? Without writing a novel.
!faq allguidr
!faq allguide
Might be a bit out of date unsure
Thank you.
old dungeons were made simpler if anything so don't stress it too much
You can plug a keyboard and mouse into a ps4
And then just enable the direct chat setting
And you can chat a bit more freely
how do I sell items on the market board?
With your retainers
You need to put them up for listing using a retainer
Through your retainer. They post the items for you.
ah
hey i sometimes see these specific stables(?) attached to houses what are these called and how do i get them?
<type> chocobo stable
though there's also a generic chocobo stable
glade/highland/oasis/oriental/riviera are the different types
though if iirc can't actually get the other stables
even though they're items in the files
how do I travel to other servers on my same data center?
interact with the main aetheryte in any of the 3 starting cities and select travel to another world
From the main aetheryte in the three starting cities
You’ll be returned to your home server if you’re gone for 30 straight days.
But nothing’s stopping you from just going right back.
ok, I was hoping to sell some stuff on another server since prices were higher there
but I guess I can't
You cant
I was watching a youtube video where someone was doing that for money but I guess their home server was the pvp server so they were buying from the other servers and selling on their home server which had higher prices?
There is no PvP server
Ye you can buy from other servers, just can't sell as your retainers won't follow along
And that’s just normal business practices, “buy low sell for higher”
🤷♂️ maybe I just misunderstood or misremember the content of the video
Hello, can someone on PC tell me what's the current folder size of the game fully updated?
at least 67 gb
Thanks!
didnt know its that simple
when i googled it nothing really shows up
no wait thats not what im looking for let me find an image, perhaps its not a stable at all then
what is this exactly?
So i finished my grind for the ARR relic weapon, do you have to do that grind for every weapon or is it shorten down after finishing one?
hey guys, there was a site that lets you input ex. 'I have 50k storm seals on the Chaos data centre' and then the site tells you the best item to buy and sell. does anyone know the site im talking about? I used to have the link but i cant find it anymore
my god massive respect to anyone thats done that a few times
when do you use soul sow harvest moon as a reaper?
Soulsow is Pre-pull
Or if there is downtime
is ti like filler?
I guess in raid scenario you use harvest moon in the opener with the raid buff alignment? And re-cast it when there is a downtime mid fight when you can’t hit the boss.
In dungeons you use it in between trash pulls. This is where harvest moon shines the most.
Hey guys, I'm up to Sastasha- abuot 16 minutes in queue as a DPS. Does doing the Trust give the same exp?
Yes
the tradeoff is trust NPCs do fuckall damage and pull 1 pack at a time
so either you pull more shit for them or you just cry
20 minute wait, ill just try trust
yes
how would I do that?
right click on it
Alternatively, when you have it selected, hit the Settings icon for it
right click isn't working
and then toggle the check box
Alterntively #3, go to this option in Character Configuration and just turn them on
Any of those methods will work.
ty
anyone know about when 6.15 and next moogle tome event are launched?
Considering we just got 6.11a instead of 6.15, about a month or more likely
how do I lvl sync in a party?
You don’t
When in a FATE, press the Level Sync button in the duty list
Instances level sync you by default
ah... I'm just in a party with my wife who is like... lvl 3 and she isn't getting any xp
from lvl 1 mobs
Don’t party up then
It neuters exp gain
so I can't party with her?
If you want her to get the exp, no
so even if we are the same lvl we shouldn't party
No there is a narrow window in which you can be different levels and still get mob exp. I don’t know what it is exactly but it’s small.
I think like 5 is the max
Any further of a level gap and you get nada
10
I was wanting to party with her through the game but...
lel
guess I can once she gets to a similar lvl
You can still be in the same areas
Once she gets to level 16 in the MSQ you can do dungeons to level
are there 2-man dungeons?
No
ah, well
Once you unlock leveling dungeons those are the best way to level. Technically, Deep Dungeons can be done with two people but those are at best alternative sources of EXP
Can i play final fantasy xiv on m1 macbook air
Technically yes, but I wouldn't recommend it unless you have the highest end M1 and even then it's not optimized for the M1 in the slightest
What's the difference between normal gear and gear with the ornate prefix? Should I be getting ornate stuff instead?
Ornate lets you meld more t10 materia, that's it. It only drops from Wonderus Tails, where you trade in the gold certificate
Late, but you can shorten it a tiny bit by doing some parts simultaneously (namely the books and the dungeons for the second to last step with the 4 quests). And you don't have to actively be working on a relic weapon to get daily alexandrite maps. But the rest of it is just hell again.
Sighh.. i bought it cuz i thought i could play it, does the 2018 macbook air run it?
Does it have a graphics card
Looking at the specs actually no it doesn't

Basically, if you want to play FFXIV it's highly recommended you have a PC with a graphics card
If you don't, while people do play off integrated graphics, going under 30 fps or having a loaded CPU specifically can and will cause actual in game issues
For example, not being able to move at your full speed
@woven talon I guess even if its only a little it still helps. Thanks for the info
Correct me if I am wrong but SE said they are going to make ff14 high res graphics upgrade right?
It's started to some extent
they showed some early pictures so maybe in 2030
Yes, in version 7 we’re getting a quality of life update
Is it gonna be optional upgrade? Or just total graphics update?
Total graphics, I believe
I hope my potato computer can run it.
You can still turn everything down
What is this thing on my wife’s screen?
its the job gauge, can move it thru the HUD layout editor
Should it always be on the screen?
iirc its called elemental gauge
you can't disable job gauges
and yes, its gives you important information for your job
tired of doing fates, any quick way of making 3mil xp aside from roulettes as a dps?
Yes
The story
Dungeons
done it
Your job quests, dungeons
how much do dungeons generally give,
Fucking off and playing something else so you get rested exp

!faq restedexp
'Why does my EXP bar have some blue or faded yellow in it?'
That's Rested Experience, which is an extra source of bonus experience shared between all of your classes. You gradually earn this while inside a sanctuary (town or area with a major aetheryte), regardless of whether you're online or not. Sanctuaries are also indicated with a crescent moon icon near your experience bar.
'How much of a boost is it?'
The most amount of rested experience you can have at once is one and a half levels of experience. That means that lower level jobs use up the rested experience faster than higher level jobs do.
Fucking off is a valid strategy
I guess, just wanted to finally hit 90 on dancer and go do some fun trials lol
alright, dungeons it is then, thanka
Current expansion levels get nerfed armoury exp so it's gonna take longer and you're gonna have to live with that

"Nerfed". It's 50% instead of 100%.
I was told when my chocobo gets all points in attacker maxed out you get a barding. Where would you claim this barding? She's not there yet but pretty close soI want to be prepared
It should just appear in your bardings list
Is there any free company pvp (such as a guild war) or anything in this game?
No
no
ah dang thanks anyway
could someone tell me what minion this is?
Wind up chimera
thanks!!
Why is that character looks so cartoonish?? Like a borderland character.
A mod, clearly
You can hide all minions' names - it should be under Display Name Settings > NPCs > Minions

About how long would it take to get the chocobo racing mask assuming I went at it seriously
Someone said they took 3 years doing it casually
Sounds pretty far fetched to me
Not really, chocobo racing is very niche
However long it takes for you to breed a rank 9 chocobo, which depends on how often you win chocobo races
Question, is there a "gold saucer theme" orcheston roll and what is it's name?
4 sided circle, 10k mgp
It's lane based, there's items, but as a whole it's much more about statistically having the better chocobo who has more stamina and speed
If you want to win it's worth going for a good chocobo
Since winning gives more EXP
So stat based not skill based
I've had it as a ringtone for over a decade so the song is dear to me 🙂
Define skill in this case, because it's a whole bunch about stamina management
Very old pic, but the mount’s worth it.
Actually mechanics, resource management, raw stats can’t brute force it
unless you go for super sprint (which is mainly for r300 races) but yeah
Basically if you can win with little effort simply by having high stats then that’s stat based, if you can win with weaker stats than your opponent by simply being better than them at the game then that’s skill based
That’s assuming it follows those trends consistently
Oh definitely not in this case, while you can impact opponents with chocobo skills at the end of the day having better stats makes your chocobo a better racer
There's a reason why chocobo breeding is attached to this minigame
Also you’re gonna be against AIs 99% of the time
They don't rubberband and follow the same rules as players
Of course there's some awful racers but the smarter ones are legitimately difficult to win against
I read that the ai cheats
They will pull off a frame perfect reflect or defense yes, but it's nothing a player can't do as well with practice
Since everything is animation locked
Also, you still get a decent EXP reward for just not coming in last
Pretty sure frame perfect stuff is something most people can’t pull off
I say frame perfect but it's just timing it with the animation
That’s like pro gamer and speed runner stuff
People who are actually good at video games and not just putzing through like me
🤷 as long as you don't come in last you'll still get a decent amount of EXP
just don't burn your stamina thoughtlessly and you'll eventually get up to rank 9 birds
or do, but then you'll have to spend longer racing
And after each race they just give a random person a exp bonus
Even the npcs
That is why Industrial made the comment "with practice", lol. People who are "good at video games" are that way because of practice. But that's semantics, the game mode isn't unwinnable for anyone who isn't a leet gamer god.
Yeah this isn’t blood borne
then you gotta put in effort. R-240 is the last tier you'll have to race in before you get an tier 9 bird and it can be challenging with a poor bird
(Fortunately, you don't have to race in r300.)
Befire I forget are all quest glams available through the calamity salvager
If you lose then I mean
Yes.
All quest rewards outside of consumables are available via the salvager yes
So even the actual armor abd weapons
Job Quest gear yes, Crafted and Vendor gear no
The only thing that’s not available via Calamity Salvager as far as I’m aware is the Garo invisible shields purchased via Wolf Marks and MGP. Those are not retained by the Calamity Salvager.
Except for the HW, SHB, AND EW stuff which is from Seals and their respective "vendor" respectively
I mean you get a lot of green gear from the msq if I lose that can I get it back
Because there’s already the Emperor’s New Shield available for purchase as-is that does the same effect as a glamour item via MGP purchase.
That's just the crafted endgame gear
Why is the same action here written so many times? (This is macro for skill cast i believe) Also what does that "merror off" do?
Because macros are dumb
And need those repeating lines
Macros don't queue like normal actions, so that's an attempt to "emulate" the input buffer
It’s to emulate that ground-targeted skill as an actual input, because macros have a tendency for latency/ping delay.
Can’t you like not queue ground targeted skills
Well you have to manually place it which can be challenging on controller
The last action without the <t> is so that you have the option to use it as a ground target AoE if the instance of targeting the enemy is unavailable, which can happen for targets not in the arena. Like Suzaku in Hell’s Kier or Cloud of Darkness in the World of Darkness alliance raid.
I use a controller and I don’t find it challenging to place my bubbles
A lot of bosses go untargetable especially trial ones
It’s just a matter of inputting your actions quickly within a specific time frame on controller. So like, take the Moon Flute Opener. You have 15s to input all of the appropriate actions within Waxing Nocturne before you go into Waning Nocturne. Within 15s on controller a ground target AoE can eat up your time.
Ah that makes more sense
So with the Moonflue Opener it goes

If I want to get a bubble exactly where I want it super quick that’s actually pretty hard
i just use
/blueaction "Feather Rain" <t>
That ground target AoE for Feather Rain can delay you if you need to input it on the target when you’re cramming those spells within a 15s timeframe on controller.
for a macro and that helps a lot
That’s why you use the target macro
I usually get around ground target issues by setting up a /ac <t> or /ac <me>
sometimes it still doesnt go off cuz im rushing tho
I generally settle for about where I want it relatively quick
Because in the event that the enemy is untargetable, it's a lot easier to position myself where I want the reticle than it is to play around with ground targeting
The reason why there’s 12 /blueaction “Feather Rain” <t> is so that you can ensure that when you press the input it activates the command because of how ambiguous latency and ping can affect your casts in a raid setting with other players.
You're basically telling the macro to spam the skill.
can u disable that error message tho
so that this doesn't happen
Also yes
/merror off
<tt> is a useful command that activates the action onto the target’s target. So like, if the boss is targeting the tank, your input (Feather Rain) will be activated on the tank.
wouldnt that really only be useful for healers?
No
So based on this picture, I have one line with <tt> in the event that if I can’t activate the 11 lines on the target, that <tt> line will activate on the highest aggro’d target which is most likely the tank.
Since we’re talking about controller gaming on FFXIV, if you ever want to be neat and optimize your HUD space, I made a controller guide for BLUs at the Blue Academy discord. Of course, it can be useful for any job you play, especially if you wanna mess around with shared/non-shared crossbars and having a display bar if you wanna be mindful about action cooldowns: https://bit.ly/3yF761b
I usually have WXHBs hidden just to be neat and tidy, but a lot of peeps like to keep their crossbars separate and shown. Any and all philosophies to how you play on controller is perfectly fine.
How can I check how many fates I've done in a given zone?
If this is for your Shared Fates rank for ShB and Endwalker it's under Travel > Shared Fates
I mean how many fates I have done in a zone for the gemstone rewards unlocks
The menu tells
X/66
Are there linkshells for map parties and stuff (like there are for hunts)
or discords
probably
Mostly something done in a more social setting, though, so friend groups or FCs are more likely venues, at which point you have the FC chat and likely their discord as well.
How long does the world transfer can be used again?
usually instant
can take a couple of minutes though, depending on how bad the servers are acting up
I saw it says 72 hours depending on the server
I tried to submit a transfer again but I have to wait at least 3 days till I used it again
the cooldown on world transfer is 3 days yes, if you transfered to a standard world
90 days if you transfered to a preferred/new
that would require me to have friends or FC mates who do things with me 
Double checking, Doom debuffs don't apply damage, right? They just set your character to "dead" when/if it resolves?
Correct
The only way to survive doom, is to get rid of it
I'm aware
but some can't be removed
like Twice/Thrice-Come Ruin's Doom in Delubrum, or the glorified Doom from NIN's PvP LB
Well the point of twice come ruin is to not get the doom to activate in the first place
Right, the point of Twice-Come in Delubrum is to punish players for trying to faceroll mechanics; Thrice-Come in Panda 4 (not Delubrum) is to force party cooperation.
Ninja has no Doom.
Nin PvP lb is just an instakill if they’re below half health
yes, which would be the doom proc
.... no, it's a doom proc
doom kills you after x amount of time
which is the animation
Hey can anyone help me make my hades weapon shiny
Because you fucked up the mechanics
And are being punished
because they die AFTER the animation goes off
I'm aware of why you get Doom from Twice/Thrice-come Ruin
But it is still DOOM with a 1-2 second timer
You can't, you have to obtain the Crafted version if you want the one with the special effects
So either craft it yourself, or buy it from the MB
They’re expensive
It is not. Ninja's skill is "if target dies, then recharge skill". The skill itself has no effect on the player; the execute condition is checked prior to the debuff application.
Fairly certain it's a doom proc
no it is not
It is not.
!pvpaction seiton tenchu
@slate arrow okay so how do I get the mats for it?
Rushes target and delivers an attack with a potency of 10,000, incapacitating foes whose HP is below 50%.
Additional Effect: Afflicts target with Death Link
Duration: 5s
Defeating an enemy with this action, or one under the effect of Death Link, will grant Seiton Tenchu Ready, allowing a second execution of this action.
Duration: 10s
Effect cannot be applied to players riding machina or non-player combatants.
Can only be executed when the limit gauge is full or while under the effect of Seiton Tenchu Ready.
Cannot be executed while bound.
incapacitating foes whose HP is below 50%.
You are instantly killed if you're under 50% hp
Death link doesn’t kill people after 5 seconds
No doom involved
that is an execute
That is why the skill reads "Defeating an enemy with this action, or one under the effect of Death Link" is written in two parts.
The Big Important one is a random drop from Hades EX or randomly desynthed from HADES Main Hand items
If the target dies, Death Link is not applied. Therefore the first half is necessary to make sure the LB recharge still functions.
everything else is pretty cheap or easy to get
There is no Doom.
Doom is "You will die at the end of this timer (unless it is ended early, if possible)."
I have 3 main hand weapons
Yes they are
Need those to desynth
Ok I guess I will look into that
It’s still RNG whether or not the mat is desynthed so watch for that
unlock desynth alone is not enough, you need to pass certain point to get rare drop
Don’t lie to me please just give it to me straight
just unlock desynth
Ok if you say so
you don't have to do desynthesis to get the mat by the way
you can just farm the instance
but its ultimately rng to get the crafting mat
desynthing the weapons just gives you more chances at it, essentially
It's also why Hades weapons are so expensive on the market board
Since the only source is crafting but the chance to get the expensive material is low
Well I have three weapons I’m starting my crafting from lvl 1:(
would he grind the mat and lvl crafter to even craft it faster or just farming gil then buy it?
It would be faster to just buy it
Or to commission a crafter to make one for you
*you providing the mats
Well this won’t be the last time and I don’t know the best way to farm for fill
Gil
And where do I got to become a craftsman
any of the 3 starter city, look for the blue quest "So you want to be ..." (leatherworker, carpenter, weaver, ...)
Blacksmith armorer, and culinarian are in lisma
Goldsmith, alchemist, and weaver are Uldah
Leatherworker and carpenter Gridania
Thank you
Hi can someone help me
I bought endwalker but for some reason its not loading up
How long does an instance of a eureka area last before it gets locked?
apply the code from your cd key section of steam to your mogstation account
did you activate its steam key?
!faq mogstation
do trial versions lvl slower?
No.
got it
cool
what level do i unlock wondrous tails?
do you need to progress into main story to do dungeons at lvl 16?
If you gotta guess when is making it rain event this year?
Yes, everything is behind the MSQ in some way or form
Whether as a prerequisite or a direct unlock
Mid July? Like it usually is
When do I unlock raids? Do I just keep doing main scenario missions
ARR raids are savage level so youll need someone to carry you
how do I improve my chocobo's movement speed? and what about the ability to fly, when does that unlock? 
Flying is first unlocked after beating the main ARR story
You get it in all ARR maps.
Riding maps exist, but are extremely inferior to flight
oh so thats after ARR, oki. what about movement speed? that also?
You can't improve flight speed and improving run speed is pointless.
There are riding maps around various regions you can get to improve your ground speed, but flying is the maximum speed you can move anyway, so once you have it there's very little reason to stay on the ground.
hello i wanna meld my gatherers. do the base melds change when im not pentamelding? cause i dont have the money for it. is it even worth doing if im not pentamelding?
do i have to play the same class as the makai title for it to count towards the mounts
No, you just need the title on
thanks
but it will take time to finish ARR, right? so till then? am only at sylph part so far
run speed improves off of story as well
oh
You’re not even half way
ARR goes to lvl 50
it will tell you
oki 
So, the reason you cannot fly until the end of ARR is because flying was not in the original game. It was only introduced in the Heavensward expansion and was not retroactive. The system to attain flying in any zone from HW onward involved a combination of MSQ completion in each zone, completing a small set of sidequests in each zone, and exploration of various waymarks in each zone.
Since ARR had none of these, it simply wasn't considered for those areas, up until just about the end of the patch content for Shadowbringers. Doing so meant a pretty intensive map overhaul from a developer standpoint; and since they didn't really care to add in the aether currents or create quests for exiting players to have to go back and do, they simply made the requirement for those zones "complete the base campaign".
yeah
ah gotcha
i wish flying was always there lol
flying was added towards the end of Shadowbringers
.
I am aware
I couldnt remember if it was ever adjusted, but do the level 50/60/70/80 dungeons still just give bad xp? I have a level 80 dancer and want glam from Paglth'an, and was hoping I could do 2 birds with one stone, but didn't wanna waste my time if it wasn't gonna level me
still bad exp
RIP ty
You can just unsync it later with a group if you’re going for glam
Yeah that was my plan, I tried unsyncing it with my WAR earlier and it was going fine, just wasn't any faster than running with a synced group
unsync give no exp
wait i thought it did
except you manually turn on lvl sync, at that point only blue can do the content
you sure?
i thought i got exp
You don’t, it even says as much when you enter
unsync alone give no exp, no spirit bond but within unsync itself, you can sync level and still earn those
!faq unsync
In your duty finder window select the ⚙️ icon on the top left to open up the duty finder settings window.
Inside that window select the setting unrestricted party before confirming and entering the instances of your choice. NOTE: UNSYNC-ING AN INSTANCE WILL FORFEIT ALL OF YOUR EXP AND COMPLETION REWARDS. Poetics from a first time completion bonus and loots chests remain the same and will not be lost. You may not queue for daily roulettes using this method.
through enemies too?
The XP comes from the roulette itself, and is still pretty garbage. The dungeons in it give none because they were made with the assumption that the player was at max level when they were released.
not to mention, exp are now accumulated to boss
And that isn't changed.
can anyone tell me what the lights in the roof of this pic are
cant find them anywhere
thought it was a light clipped through the roof but it seems like it isnt
thats what it looks like through the roof
your talking about lvling roulettes?
No, the 50/60/70/80 daily roulette.
the dungeons give exp but its shit
oh ok
What's 6.11a patch? Only fixes?

Anyone know how to fix this issue with the free trial standalone? I checked n it works n boots on windows....but on steamos this is as far as I get with proton ge 7-10
standalone is NOT compatible with steam

best way to get higher leveled jewelry gear? need item lvl42 for castrum meridanium, at itm lvl37 with my best stuff, but the rings and necklaces are all <20 making it go down
Ohh apparently I got a reply on reddit
I'll probably try this
I'm getting just a touch desperate
do your job quest, at quest lvl 45 and 50, it gives gear to meet the requirement, as for the accessories, buy some from vendor
You really can’t get higher accessories until you beat 2.0
oh
lvl 50 quest give ilvl 90, that alone should be enough to carry the accessories
ilvl 55 chest + whole new set of ilvl 90
wow
yep, do your job quest
thank you guys 😄

separate question, does anyone know of any plugins that tracks party member's raid buff cooldowns and whether you were in range or not
There's jobbars plugin which tracks party members' cooldowns
Doesn't cover being in range though afaik
does it at least tell me if I got the raid buff when they use it
pain in the ass having to scan my buff bar's 40 fucking icons to see if the one I want is there
idk cause I don't use it, but the vanilla game shows you that
with the buff icon flying off your character
