oooh okay. i was expecting like a bar to fill
oh you said the thing while i was looking at it. Sorry
When a rune is fully glowing you have at least 200 points of progress
What's a good thing to spend some Bicolors on if you're about to go over (and don't have the ability to buy certs yet)?
Kk
for delubrum reginae should I equip my relic from shb or p4s weapon?
You can wear a lv1 weapon and lv1 gear for the whole of bojza
oh for real?
You're hard set to 430
so only haste matters
oh yay it glows now
I finally moved my game over to PC, I've spent the past hour and a half re-doing my hotbars because they don't transfer over. I still can't get my hotbars to copy between classes for collapsible hotbar macros despite the same commands working on PS4. I'm growing very frustrated.
Here's the set up I have so maybe it'll be easier for someone to see the problem.
On my Arcanist I've got my mounts set to Hotbar 4
My macro is
/hotbar display 9 [on/off]
/wait 7
/hotbar display 9 off```
I then have that macro set on hotbar 8 on the class I'm playing.
they do transfer over if you upload them to the cloud on character select
/hotbar display 9 [on/off] is wrong
you either put on, or off, or nothing to make it toggle i believe
[on/off] has been working to toggle the hotbar IF I manually put something on hotbar 9. ARC 4 just isn't copying.
square bracket around a command in the help text, means you choose something, you dont put the whole thing in
ok well if it works, its because SE realised ppl dont understand how to read documentation and just made it ignore it 😄
copy should be fine
have you checked ARC 4?
also, make sure hotbar 9 isn't a shared hotbar
otherwise, you should use share 9
not current 9
Anyone know if 6.0/6.1 changed what the best jobs for PotD solos are?
I know mch was preferred during shb but after the crunch + adjustments I have no idea if it stayed that way
potd is limited to level 60, sooo unless there were massive changes to 60 and below skills, its probably not changed
also SMN was entirely reworked, soo maybe viable?
technically anything is viable, if you work at it
Well yeah but the number crunch + Sage exists
number crunch doesn't mean much
I mean yeah, but there were still jobs that had advantages over others
Drill was a big part of mch being as good as it was, and I think gnb was the other job? Due to higher damage than other tanks
It didn't
RDM was also good apparently
Nah GNB is only ok in potd
Nothing changed about potd
i never heard of GNB being good
It’s hoh where it’s more busted
Ok so, if i understood correctly i switch to ice Magic ONLY when mana runs out right and the last spell when i have very little mana is always flare right
Anyway to get the controller to when a button is hold it auto casts ?
Only.flare in aoe
Despair is the single target version
ok flare aoe only then
Toggling mixed and hold didn’t seem to do anything for the next cast

!faq blmleveling
No cause that can lead to automation
Toggle/hold is for displaying the crosshotbar
thats not a thing
To refresh the buff when is about to run out cause of fire 4 i use fire 1 yes?
yes unless you have the f3 proc
got my monk to 60, can i only gain charges for nadi/celestial revolution while under the effect of perfect balance?
Yes
ok
oh right i mean tornado kick
so you do one PB, 3x same move, one PB, 3x different moves, tornado
It takes 3 pbs to get Tornado kick
and foul every time is up? also when to use Ice 1, doesnt seem useful ever since ice 3 ad 4 recovers all mana o:
can anyone tell me where the option is to show you're in gpose as a icon next to your name?
b3 and 4 dont recover all mp
It comes to make up your 2min burst window
your ice phase ticks and recovers a certain amount of mp
your ice combo can still run out and boot you out of enochian
Foul is aoe, xeno is single target
it happens when youre in gpose
just wanted to make sure there wasn't a way to get chakras with like formless fist that i was missing
You can save xeno for movement as you can hold 2 stacks
there is an option to turn it on/off though
Giving you much more mobility as blm
if theres an option then idk it ¯_(ツ)_/¯
The only other thing I know is you can set that if you AFK it goes into idling camera
Ok i think i have a sort of idea of the basic rotation, I just need to know when to use everything else like ley lines, scathe triplecast and so on super easy ._.
!faq balance
Triple should be used often 
Go into the blm channel and read the guides
guides are for max level and im not there yet, gotta learn to play first if i wanna max level
Leylines is your burst, triple.is both movement and burst, Scathe is shit
The principles are the same
Literally if you have foul
Max level shit already applies to you
You don't change much as you go
Is housing available right now to bid on?
Yes
woops wrong reply...sorry vinyl
Then check out weskalber on youtube he has rotation guides while leveling
So my friend and I are running around low level zones, he's doing his hunting log to get to level 15 and I'm just supporting
we don't understand why EVERYTHING IS COMING TO ATTACK HIM when he hits one enemy. is it because I'm a high level? you'd think they'd be attacking me
Please help x.x
Im trying, but looking at guides actually confuse me a lot more than trying to figure it out myself
If they're high level yeah
Some overworld mobs are tethered together
Everything gonna gang up
Especially in arr
yea but all of them?
he'll hit a bat and five cactuars come out of fucking nowhere
are you in the same party a shim?
I am.
you're fucking him over
you need to not be in a party with him, and let him hit the mobs for the first hit
but that said, there are some open world mobs that are naturally linked
Yea I'll just heal him if he needs it without being in a party
yea the naturally linked ones we know about
but before it was he hits one thing and everything in a 500 yard radius came to attack him
its the same trick for leveling blu in shb areas
yea
higher level characters can cause more mobs to link
hunting log shouldn't be that hard
What is this?
it gives you the "returner" status
which allows you to access the novice network, gives you a unique icon in-game, and gives you an exp bonus when you party with a mentor
There was the problem, thank you much.
I feel stupid now, but at least I've got my collapsible hotbars back.
happens to the best of us 🙂
For POTD, if you want the padjali weapon, do you have to go in as that class? I'm lvling my astro right now, but I really want the weapon for my drg 😦
No you can take any class into PotD and get the weapon for a different one.
sweeeeet! 2 birds with 1 stone LOL
once you unlock the weapons once, they ALL appear at the vendor for trade
is there a simple way to copy a hud from one character to another? I mostly want the hotbars but not having to manually resize and reposition everything would be nice too
if youre on pc its documents > my games > ff14 > character folder > hotbar.dat
and copy paste
thanks!
can you do a12n unsynced without the tank lb 3?
You just need glamour prisms
That I have but still that messege
They both are in my main inventory

Why are you trying to glamour over a level one piece....?
Because I like that robe lol
Alternatively it's just a Weird Old Ass Bug that was never checked because nobody tried to glamour a glamour piece
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Ok thx
you generally dont put a glamour on a level 1 piece, you put a level 1 piece, made for glamour, on top of something else
though if say you want a glamour only gear set, for social stuff, separate to your combat sets
just pickup a set of "All class" crap from a vendor in any of the main cities
That maybe why which I don’t have fashion open on my character tab
I guess I need to do a quest lol
I've glamoured starting race gear over the invisible gear just to see if I could. That worked just fine. But yeah the only other reason why you wouldn't be able to is that you haven't unlocked it.
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Any idea wher it is ?
did you read it?
I think I have the glamour quest done near waking sands
I’m trying to be a Sage should i just buy level on another class or is there a really fast way to level up
just do msq
MSQ is the fastest
hey it says i am unable to purchase or relinquish land, is there something i need to do? i bought a house in the other server before moving to OCE
My only thing with the msq is all of the dialogue since i want to keep up with the story
i mean if you want to be a sage that bad then you can buy a level skip and unlock it but note that you will be wasting a ton of exp if you do the msq on sage
exp that you cannot get back
Ah ok
The msq xp waste isn't that big of a deal
well if you never plan on leveling any other class then sure
I will say right now i am lvl 52 tho so it might be a waste of money
Sage start at 70, they feel complete(as most other job) at that point, however your still doing content much lower than that (and the sync), so you unlock something you can not use to the full potential yet
then i wouldnt
Can always boost a different job that levels like shit (dragoon or black mage) 
Ok I got glamour quest but fashion is not open
Did you read.
Nvm
I cant decide between DRG and RDM. Any advice on pro and con of each job?
Joking aside, it’s got an easy to learn rotation that doesn’t change too much over its leveling experience. Damage is respectable but not the highest. Decent utility but not as much as NIN. A solid median line.
RDM has great utility in the form of a decent heal, instant rez without saccing swift cast
Doesn't show star diver
So the crystal pvp gear is basically uncolorable versions of the job story gear rewards, but colored differently?
Also you don't necessarily need to choose one or the other class. You can play them both.
Upscaled textures too.
I want to grind a relic weapon 😉
Hm
So I need to pick one. 😭
What jobs do you play
So far RPR and SAM. I like SAM much more.
That looks cool
Oh they are dyeable btw
!iglam kiku-ichimonji anemos
This is also neat
Oh ? Then both versions are dyeable?
They are, yes.
Nice
hey are we able to purchase plots in any wards or are some wards locked for FC only?
1-18 is for FCs
hmm
What's the tried and true method of leveling other jobs, especially with road to x buff
!faq altlvlguide
did they remove the afk timer?
Hello!
Question reharding Island Saunctuary.
Which patch is it releasing in? (and when is said patch roughly expected?
Yes just a couple days ago
we don't know
wow thanks
Oksy. Thank you!
Some time during the 6.2 window. 6.2x probably. Meaning not 6.2 proper. Instead one of the interim patches like .25 or .28.
so the fiend weapons glow but have a lower ilevel than the sephirot weapons that don't glow?
turn it into glam if you like the glow so much.
Glow doesn't indicate power
i thought usually it's the same ilvl
well, not really
looks like the glowy ones are usually worse?
About how long after weather/time changes do relevent mobs in Eureka appear?
no, some glowy ones are strong, some aren't. just read the ilvl.
relic weapons are super tedious to get, those are the super glowy ones, but they are outdated per expansion.
so people turn them into glam so they keep the glow while still using an updated weapon
Also like there’s only one glowy lvl 90 weapon right now, and it’s from an Ultimate
A fight that you’d already have a i605 weapon for
non glowy version came out in 3.2 in 2016, whereas the glowy version came out about 2 years later
so the non glowy was used for "current" fights at that time, and the glowy version was used to make people go back and do the fight years later for cool looking gear
makes sense. is that what happened for stormblood as well? (i was looking at shinryu weapons)
yep
it'll happen the shb ex's next, and then move forward to the EW Exs after that
though it did take them like 4 years for us to get crafted susano weapons lol
wow those look nice
Is there any way to select instances for Eureka?
nope
Just keep entering and leaving and hope you get an unbotted one?
there's also a non-zero chance that's the only instance that exists at this moment on both NA and EU servers due to Dead of Night and Workday Morning respectively
is there a list of some sort that tells me what mats i have to farm to clear certain level ranges of crafters?
like, when you go on crafters you have 1-5, 6-10, 11-15.. etc crafting ranges
all my crafters are in a lvl range of 0-20+ and im overwhelmed by the sheer volume of items
all my gatherers are on 90 so it wouldnt be a problem to get the base items
Firmament crafts
sure that would be the easy way to level them
was looking more like a completionist list
with firmament stuff after 20, which is when they unlock
That's the best part, you don't
real answer a lot of materials tend to get reused as you level, like Silver/Gold ore, mythril from HW, Ala Mihgan salt from the 6th Stormblood zone, etc
If you're going for completion I'd recommend just using Teamcraft
Yeah, TC Lists are the way to go for serious crafting.
i see.. thanks anyway, seems like i have to work myself into this teamcraft then 😄
!faq Teamcraft
It is an all in one crafter website that offers lists, simulator and other features and can be found at: https://ffxivteamcraft.com/
I just saw someone sending a message in chat when he uses one of the crucial \ long cooldown abilities. I want to setup same macro for Benediction. Is it worth it and if it is, how exactly macro commands will looks like?
!faq macrogcd
Macroing GCDs adds up to lost casts overtime, significantly harming your potential.
Check this video for a striking dummy comparison:
https://youtu.be/VgpUCgExvbA
it's not worth it, putting it in a macro will make it clunky and it's just annoying in 99% of cases, and helpful in probably less than 1%
Tack onto one of the lines near the end with <wait.(cooldown number)>
then right afterwards /echo <se.(number)> (Cooldown) Ready
Again, though, it ain't recommended
Mainly because you break the input buffer by doing so
the most you;d see is on tank invlunerabilities, since more used to either dont need you to heal them at all or require a ton of healing to use
so it'd be used to signal to a duty finder healer what to do
nothin like using superboilde and going to 1hp to scare a healer 
the only macro tanks would need is shirk
Since DRK's problem has been fixed there's not really any reason to need to macro it
I have to macro a rez message one day
I would recommend against that personally. The pauses and stuff required to make it work might delay your casts for too long.
you dont ever need to macro rezz messages
if it's an instant rez, who cares, it's gonna go out before anyone can read the macro and react
if it's a hardcast, also who cares, there's a long raise cast with a target indicator on the party list
With the new indicator of player's current target, we can still waste swift cast for res, can they make the game refund it (with remaining time) so one people can use it for something else? Or this is getting technical
No, the party list show each player current target, but yeah, seem like pretty hard, need to tweak underline mechanism and stuff
you get like 3 indicators of the healer using rezz and whos being rezzed so thats your own fault for not paying attention and wasting your swift
How do I mount indirect wall lighting onto the wall?
you move it onto the wall
oh
Are you trying to stick it on a pillar?
does it work on a partition?
yes
you find a lamp that makes a downward spotlight
hey i am the FC leader and i cannot purchase land on plot 3 in Gridania, "Unable to execute command. you are not authorised to purchase land" may someone please help share a way i can fix this?
xD
Anyways
you also need a certain fc rank
That too
ahh i understand
like lvl 6 or something
Must be the other bot
hiya are MSQ dungeons still the fastest way to level or are levelling dungeons the way to go now?
anyone has a list of all minions that come along with soundtrack CD purchases?
!faq altlvlguide
i mean most leveling dungeons are msq dungeons so idk what you mean
you just do dungeons that arent level caps
oh wow i didnt know there was a guide thanks
Sorry Cerberus i meant msq on the duty finder compared to levelling dungeons in the duty finder
msq rolo is ok
msq roulette gives the most exp of the roulettes
but either way you do both of them once a day
I see, thank you very much everyone! I just read the guide and said to try palace of the dead as an option as well, may give that a go
potd is if youre a dps with long queues
maybe here you can find them ? https://ffxivcollect.com/minions
Yeah levelling up a ninja now, i only have a dragoon haha should probably do a tank or heals
@pliant eagle potd is only reliable for levelling when you've unlock floors 51-60
Oh i see fair enough that i dont think I even unlocked palace, thank you for that!
Are there pure gil rewards from sub/airship voyages, or are the rewards just all RNG items?
Looking to get into subs/airships but don't wanna bother if I gotta sell this shit on MB, kinda just hoping to get this stuff maxed & click the voyage button every day or so for gil

hi all how can i reuse one of my saved apparance?
basicly when i do a character having the same base model what i saved in my slot
you need to right click previous character
Right after you finish character creation, a promp popped up and ask you to save it
yes i did that and saved
When you create a new char, it will ask to load those saved appearance or not
Do you need the GC reputation on a character looking to buy a FC house, or just for personals?
I recall you only needed it for personals but not FCs, has that changed?
Both
Should I start from floor 1 of floor 51 in palace of the dead for best exp farming?
wasssup peeps
question,, am i doing something wrong,,, whenever the game gives me a quest involving hitting something with one of my skills,, it sometimes takes mins just to get the skills to work on these trees and rocks and stuff,, its super frustrating not knowing what to do,, and sometimes it works first try sometimes i stand there for 5mins pulling out my hair on the tree right next to the previous one i just got on my first or 2nd try,, lol,, didnt want to ask but now its becoming stupid
You are a botanist and you dont have gear right?
not my internet not my pc,, both beasts
i think you have to select on the target first
Hmm, do you click/target said people or object when you execute the skill?
what job, what quest and what skill
yes i click first,, unlike the emote ones which just work after the dialog,, this one just says i need to use the skill on it when i target it first,,
i use skills and skill doesnt go off,, i move around,, close,, far,, all over,, just works sometimes,, i dont wanna work on luck,, much rather know what to do
Please select target with left click then use ability or stuff
If it require you to interact, just right click
😅
And most important, you need to be in range, most interact is like 3 yard(like melee job)
ok,, that does work,, entire game target with tab and right click,, this is different ,, lol,, thx though,,
1st char,, forgive my incompetence
lol
tab target is how ffxiv was created since its what wow used, and it copied that
should be fine now just somethin old school
no,, im saying i use tab and right click everywhere else in the game,, hence why this confused me,, its left
You can bind select object/npc button to separate from tab target which is for battle only
will do that
Or just use confirm button, it auto selects, interacts when in range (although you cant change target with it)
💯 thx man
Just use controller lol
hey, can someone tell me how long season 1 will last approx?
hm 😄 can someone confirm that? but still thanks 😄
CC ranked season is until 6.18, the generic pvp series 1 until 6.2
oh i didnt know that was split
i mean, that where you can get the rewards from so season lvls 😅 is that till 6.2 or 6.18? 😄
xDDD
Read the image
thx guys
oh now i see it, i was confussed at first 😄
does the FC buff/squadrons ticket that boosts MGP gained also apply to the bigger bonuses from things like fashion report, weekly challenge log, etc?
also, if somehow i win big at jumbo cactpot, will the ticket boost those winnings too?
yes it does
i dont know the challenge log tho, pretty sure that's a no
but the other ones are
Can you solo the heavsward trials and the storm blood? If you can how do you beat them
In SB you can’t solo ||Susanoo or Tsukuyomi EX||
(technically yes but not worth for farming)
warrior is the best bet for soloing older stuff cause Bloodwhetting goes brrrr
and it being a tank
Hello, was doing zadnor and for a good 20 or 30 minute. I don't see any critical engagement happening, do we have to hunt for fates that spawn critical engagement or is it just bugged or something ?
they have to be manually spawned
they're not automatic (outside of castrum/dalriada)
they also have a 1 hour cool down as well
Has something changed with the afk settings? I went afk and ended up watching an entire movie with my family, but when I came back I hadn't been kicked?
Ahh ok. Guess all of them were on cd earlier. I rememebred there was like nonstop crit engages and then it just stops
They removed being kicked for afk?
yes
they disabled it again, which is the default state really
just big population spike before endwalker and endwalker launch forced them to turn it on for a super long time
Oh ok, cool
It can always be enabled and disabled it was enabled with the massive spike pre Endwalker and has only just been turned off
Indeed, people did say, ty tho
Anyone know what legpiece and foot piece these are?
https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/964094837148225536/979692576103890964/unknown.png
or are they npc exclusive?
does anyone know if the wedding ring TP would work to let a friend get to shirogane housing?
even if they havent been to stormblood
Yes
cause ofc FC and friend list estate tp works
ye thats fine
-
When using this ring, you must be attuned to the aetheryte closest to your partner at that time.
-
If your partner is in an area where it is possible to fly on a flying mount, you must fulfill the flight requirements in that area to be able to teleport to their side.
-
Instanced areas will not be accessible.
-
Even when away from your Home World, you will be able to teleport to your partner as long as you are both currently on the same World.
are the rules on the ffxiv site
so that aethryte closest rule wouldnt apply because its a housing district?
Housing districts don't have aetherytes
can i not move multiple items at once for housing
there is a site with costume outfits inside game or something?
i saw we have dresses but nah
Hmm shoot, i joined zadnor and saw The Dalriada pops. any lost action i should bring ?
first time doing it
going in as DNC
How do you get a discal tome?
Your usual damage increasing stuff
Everything else is useless
soo like lost font of power and one of the damage banner ?
Yes
All other actions that don't increase damage by some way are basically useless
Unless they do so much damage (ie Flare star) that they're absurd
what damage banner would you suggest ? All of their side effect seems pretty scary
the self damage banner ?
Quick question: how far in does an expansion normally progress before the last expansions end-game raids become cheesable unsynced?
if you mean solo then probably +20 level caps of original cap for it to be truly cheesable with some exceptions
you can't unsync level cap content, so the next expansion
and gear at the end usually makes the early raid tiers very easy dps/healing-wise, but you still need to do most mechanics
but normally, just put up a pf and folks are happy to carry a lv70+ through most things to farm
*current expac content
You can already ignore all of what e4s does
Can't unsync and Endwalker dungeons or trials
Failing meteors don't even wipe you
And you can skip light rampart in e8s with dps that have functioning brains
ye but just put up a reasonable pf and farm away if that aint soloable 
so not on pf
no need to do strikethrough, we all know and agree
Do P4N 4 times, once a week for the sword drops and exchange it. Or get it via a drop from savage
Can red mage replace a healer? We are a group of 4 friends but no one wants to do the healer and I wanted to play a red mage
No
They can do spot healing if needed, but actual healing isn’t something you should ever do.
Absolutely not in any hard content
And probably not a lot of easier content
Do light parties need a tank
or your healer
Can you do a dungeon without a tank? Sure. Will it be a better experience? No.
No god no god please no
The unfortunate side effect of being a game designed around the holy class trinity is that role proscriptions are pretty much inescapable.
If you try to speedrun a dungeon without a tank, mobs will spray everywhere making your aoe inefficient and the healer loses a ton of dps output trying to keep you squishies standing
However, I can promise that all classes, including tanks and healers, are fun to play. Initially things might feel slow, but things will feel really slow for everybody because coughinadequatekitdesigncough you haven't got your kit filled out yet.
The net result is a worse experience overall
If your tank is a warrior you could probably bypass having a healer later but being synced down to earlier content will still be an issue
Once they're 56 but even then, raw Intuition gaps are 19sec downtime with only like 3 mitigations+invul to hold the line
could we expect 6.18 in early July with the 6.15 in two weeks time?
No. They've explicitly stated that patch cycles are 4 months now
That's plenty if your group is coordinated
You have rampart reprisal vengeance arms length holmgang thrill at that level
Sure but unless they plan to do all group content together it's kind of a moot point
Unless you're severely undergeared you'll be alright even in df
Idk I've done war+3dps at 80+ content
that's for major patches tho, no?
But I have my doubts about say, vault pull after first boss or bardam wall
I think this is getting a little beyond the scope
could we identify healer or dps undergear though, like tank is pretty obvious with how squishy they gonna be
You're right Lynn but it's likely they won't put 6.18 until much later into July
Usually the .18 patch is roughly maybe a month before the full patch but things can change I suppose
Just equip worse stuff
Them they have more hp than you
Big brain
when their big heal isn't so big
Not immediately unless checking hp bar
One time I was tanking sirensong sea and I was just fucking dying on pulls
There's a pretty recognizable hp range at certain levels
For healers at 50 it's about 4 to 6k hp
Dragged the team through first boss had to solo it
Then realized I was getting healed for like 400 per aspected benefic in shadowbringers
well, hp bar then, still remember when I enter the SB(quest) trial and my DRK has the same hp as the healer
Isn't this going off topic
does anyone know anything about the neir collab that was announced just recently and they say it will be begging in the past may 9 o.O ?
What nier collab
There's nier raids
And that's it

Nothing has been announced in ff14
Probably specific to the mobile game
Yeah
One way crossover apparently
Two way
maybe it is in the nier game
Did ffxiv crossovers with ff brave exvius have anything on the xiv side?
We had the nier raid
We got nothing from brave exvius
No nothing ffbe
Now nier is final getting their stuff
Tails they were wondering if there was anything past the nier raids in ff14
In which the answer is no
We got the pod mount
There's no news for new nier content in ff14
Which came after
Vinyl, that's not ... relevant at all to Reincarnation, which was the crossover in question.
Technically
i got the mail today from SE
and it very clearly says its for the nier mobile game
... who even are Rion and Noelle
The FFXIV crossover is here in NierR Re[in]carnation!
We had a final fantasy 13 collab loooong after that game released
ah okey
Not external to the game.
If its not in the live letter or patch notes then its not in ff14. Its for the mobile game only
Mobile only.
Is the firmament still a good way to level crafters from 70's &80's to cap?
Frig
Okay so i have few pertinent questions today
But its possible
1 - how should i start Eureka? I decided to go after the Fending and Maiming Gear Sets in the end
Generally recommend to do leves or deliveries for 80-90
What's a good way to level crafters? I ignored them completely until I got them all 70+ in firm
I should have worded it better haha...
What are "deliveries"?
Okay smart ass answer over, drop the few hundred k on getting a kirin/vermillion chest piece from the vendor on the pier
Depending on what job you want to play
For me, I would say
1-80 a mix between leves and firmament
On the pier of Eureka you say?
At least that's how I did it
Okay all right
What / where are custom deliveries?
Also, don't play as sage, reaper, gunbreaker or dancer
As you'll need to do a eureka relic weapon to the end of the second zone
And they ofc don't have eureka relics
Another question: does my jobs level up too? Other than elemental level can i receive normal exp for this zone?
Elemental vs normal level are separate
Elemental level is character wide
Eureka is not like bozja and it is not a leveling instance
No
I'd say only do eureka if you wanna do a relic
70 or above
He wants the armor
Is there any recommendations to a job to do it?
No
Rdm, MCH, war or any healer are the main ones
I had an easy time on RDM, and PLD
#1 be sociable
Just to let you know Eureka is a long time investment and if you're not willing to sit and do it, it'll be miserable for you
Those still in eureka are pretty friendly
well i am gonna have to do it anyway if i want the gear
the next crafted set will be 6.3?
If you have questions shout them
If it follows shb
Its such a shame the Relics are kinda sucky in design
Eureka relics are actually really nice
!iglam pyros grimoire
!iglam pyros codex
Yeah the Book does look a bit good
It's an actual fucking lance
The scholar one is actually worthy it i guess
Is the Axe nice by your guys opinion?
No
What a shame
None of the axe stages do it for me
current meta, if you're intending to optimize and put your elemental level gear into it:
RDM, WAR, DRK, GNB, SMN, MCH
everything else is acceptable but the top i've mentioned are the most popular due to being overtuned at 70
But like have your own opinion
It’s glam
Even DRK is overtuned at 70?
Im surprised
What is the name of the Axe again?
DRK is tied with WAR~ at 70 and has the benefit of actually having 2 aoes for fate spawning
!iglam shamash eureka
It is purple...
it's a weird axe but i like how it looks like a magitek reaper
Ill look over at youtube again and ill decide which one to go for since im gonna do this anyway
if you want a safe bet, GNB is good because it is actually quite overtuned while also not having a weapon
so you can pursue the weapon on another class of your choice
or just be like everyone else and run RDM 
As for the jobs im gonna do it, probably wither RDM or SMN, MCH i have way too much high ping to play it, and while i do love WAR now i dont think i wanna do on it when i can go Caster
GNB cant do eureka
Its cause GNB doesnt have a weapon i guess
Quick question, like I just started fishing and I saw something about ocean fishing but every time I talk to the captain she says it's full up and I should try again later. Does ocean fishing fill up that fast? Should I be waiting for the exact moment recruitment opens up?
you can still literally do the relic questline on any other class because it doesn't r estrict you to that class though
Which is nice
fills up every 2 hours
It starts every other hour, look at the schedule
you have 15 minutes to entry
fill up in 5m, for every 2h
Another question, not chickening out, how much time you guys spent on Eureka to get your things?
it's 15m, if you don't get enough people in a boat by the end it just takes you in with the remaining people in queue with increased spectral chances
I see
I'm in Pagos
Eh im not that lovable on that
pretty long, like a couple dozen hours to max everything on RDM out but i also t ook my sweet time to level
ah, gotcha
All my homies hate pagos
it's quicker on subsequent runs when you have gear and know what you're doing but it's still quite miserable tbh
Just do your weekly challenge log and run fates every now and then
Im willing to sit through it once i guess
yeah if you really wanted a weapon it's worth
eureka is much less terrible after you're actually maxed out but i guess that's not saying much
Ill come back just a bit later let me go check out the gear
what's a blue dye closest to the cape on antiquated chivalrous surcoat?
how long is this node respawn?
- Dated Radz-at-Han Coin
Your gathering log says if you got it before
ah i see
so thats how you check it
ive also wondering about marking on map, so its also in gathering log
👍
How hard are extreme trials in terms of mechanics compared to say Aglaia? I see that I can queue for two extreme trials on DF but not the newest one.
A lot
Alliance raids are causal
they're a step up from casual
Harder and will kill you if you fail
Okay im back
and you don't queue
Aglaia is pretty easy
Yeah there are some middle eurekan weapons that look pretty good
The 3rd ex is jn the high end duty tab as usual
With ultimates much harder than savage
and if you're going to do endgame content then bring food and pots
and meld your gear
I think im gonna do either Summoner Weapon or Red Mage Weapon
I went in blind for Agalia but just followed everyone else. I guess for the extreme trials you would need to figure things out. I thought about going in blind but didn't know anything about the difficulty.
83Ex is the easiest of them
dont go in blind unless its specifically a blind prog party
You're expected to see guides unless you specifically make a blind party
Good to know, i'll lookup some videos to check them out.
Alot of telegraphs get removed from extremes and up so you need to pay attention to tells
and like i said make sure youre melding your gear and using food and doing your optimal rotation
endgame content is NOT like casual content
youre expected to perform accordingly
Aglaia is still pretty well casual content, and you have the advantage of having 24 people instead of just 8 to help cover things like lost DPS from a few people going down to mechanics.
hi
um i have a trial acc and 2 lap tops, i tried logging in my second lap top while other lap top off
but it didnt let me,and locked me out of my acc keeps saying also pass incorrect when couple times i just copy paste id and name
Trial is locked to 1 device
yes
Yeah i'll have to figure all that out. Not sure if I want to try them now. Someone told me extreme trials theres alot more leeway compared to savage.
there is
its not hard but EX trials are meant to introduce casual players to things like dps checks and not dying too much or you all wipe
There's like 1 mechanic in each fight that's actually hard
if the party doesnt do enough dps then you all fail
Gotcha ok. So if I want to run any of the extreme trials I should setup the party through party finder and not use duty finder?
yes because nobody queues
Yes
and you would say its a prog party in the description
Prog = progression?
unless you're on a jp server
Nah I'm on NA
depending how good you are completing an EX takes about several hours
especially in PF
so be prepared for that
Wait the whole fight takes several hours? Or are you including the trial and error
JP expects people to know the fight in DF
Even in JP, queueing for DF cold will not get you good results. You might get a carry but they're not gonna be happy when a blind player fails every mech.
Sounds good thanks everyone. I'll watch some videos and give it a shot. If not i'll wait until they release more casual content in the next patch.
The actual fight takes like 8-12 minutes to enrage
to compare it to savage a casual player can take about 2-3 months of progging a couple days a week to complete the full 4 floors of savage
or longer
depending how bad they are
how many mechs do they usually have ?
That sounds intense, savage is definitely not for me then.
I'd argue you can probably learn the first two ex trials easily in 1 lockout these days due to ilvl
if youre good at the game its not super intense but you would ease yourself into it
i did the first 2 floors and halfway thru the 3rd floor in about 3-4 days
so
Varies. But usually there's a fair amount of the usual simple mechanics and maybe 1 to 2 bigger more challenging ones
Considering the first endwalker ex trial is literally just dodgeball
Unless you're a tank
And the second one is like, 80% dodgeball
eh p1s is pretty braindead
The higher you go in difficulty, the more things become like an elaborate choreographed dance while you fight. Casual content is sort of like going to a club and mindlessly bopping around to a song. Going up through Extremes, Savages, and Ultimates the steps required get a lot more complex, and some of them start to gate you on how well you can maintain your damage output while doing all the requisite mechanics.
P1s is easy but you can still piss everyone off by screwing up fourfold or intemperance
Screw up a mech on ex1 or 2, mostly just you die
do they have new mechanics in EW or are the more or less variations of previous ?
Boss specific mechanics
Tank stacks
Ew introduced some new mechs like tank stacks
Most mechs have some sort of derivative from a previous fight of some kind. Usually with a new coat of paint
like in panda 1 theres the fire and ice cubes but in savage theres 3 cubes and a purple one that kills you
Not true those were around way before
along with a donut aoe or point blank aoe while its going off
Ew just added a marker to tank stacks
The universal marker was introduced in emerald weapon
Hmm, I don’t remember seeing that
i think EW added the triple tank stack marker but its not really a new mech
Emerald had that marker?
The ex phase 2
Cause you Invulned it
Oh EX, that explains it
2 tank stacks while everyone gets a cleave
Literally first thing of p2 in Emerald
Or just the busters in p1
Which you just invuln
Makes sense. There's no harm in trying @merry spruce the usual conflicts arise when people aren't honest about self assessment
No one will mind if you screw up in a "fresh prog" group
But if a newbie joins a "duty completion" "enrage to clear" and wipes them repeatedly to first mech they will disband and kick
Thanks for clarifying. I definitely want to try out the ex-trials as they appear the next step. Savage and above is probably a no-go for me. I play about 10 hours a week and took me half a year to finish Endwalker.
That's absolutely fine as well.
I shoulda left that ex3 "farm" group yestersay when the healer with same last name as party lead had no idea where to stand when sorting towers spots...
Then you can definitely do savage
if you do fine on the EX then you could try the first floor of savage cause its basically the same difficulty
doing the 3rd and 4th floor in pf is rough tho
there are blind prog groups in sync slayers DC if you havent joined yet, it may be to you addv.
Not the place for this
This game has infinite rabbit holes, I wouldn't force yourself to do something you don't particularly enjoy
I don't think I'll spend 10 hours only into raiding thats not my cup of tea. I was thinking maybe like two hours a week and the rest running the regular duties and playing casual content. Collecting glamours and all that.
Especially if as you say
Time limited
2 hours a week is honestly enough to learn ex and early Savages if you commit
But if like those two hours are spent kinda just flailing around and not researched, then maybe not
you would have to really know and be good at the game to do the entirety of savage on 2 hours a week
unless youre doing it for like
5 months
Yep even watching guides is totally different from doing it in practice
so not something i would recommend a new player
Honestly thats probably why I'll stick to the casual content and dip my toes into extreme. I appreciate all your insight.
Extreme is the logical first step for high end content
yeah, a thing that is never really said that should be: knowing the fight isn't the same thing as knowing how to do the fight
true
that being said it sounds scary but it's worth getting into if you want to do any sort of content above casual level, most people elect to stay and just do EX content
i did that for a while and had fun grinding out mounts and gil rewards
make your own fun, i don't think there's a wrong way to play the game outside of very obvious griefing
Veteran players will call extremes lenient, but they're lenient for people who know their class, know their rotation, have experience with visual cues
i agree with the sentiment, but that's namely because it's relative due to the content savage raiders do
its rlly satisfying finally getting the big W ...
For someone whose hardest content done is aglaia or p4n, even an "easy" extreme will probably beat them black and blue for about one lockout
yep yep
yeah should note that theres mounts from each EX and if you collect all of them (when the rest of the EXs release) you get an even bigger mount
so you can def just do EX
also just to be cleari 'm not trying to backseat psychology but it sounds like you're just in that phase where it all seems daunting and you wanna take it slow by not committing to it
How do you increase your Grand Company rank with Squadrons?
it was the same for a hot minute until i tried EX and now i'm progging ultimates tomorrow
it takes time
level up the squadrons and do the flagged mission
Do the missions
and also do 5 different command missions for captain rank
all advanced classes start from lvl 1?
The flagged missions specifically
No
no zere
No

Flagged missions require all stats met, iirc, or automatically fail
every job from expansions, or 'advanced' as you say, starts at these higher levels
i think they mean the job upgrade
oooh
Command or Squadron missions?
mb
which starts at whatever lvl you are
Both
And ARR jobs use the same exp as the class
they just leave off where you end up at
command
There comes a point you are required to do command missions
First off what rank are you at
they're the same, you can see that monk and pugilist are one and the same, one's just a direct continuation of it so you don't need to redo everything
Is there a macro to mark specific players based on their position in the party HUD?
Second lieutenant
no
Then you do the squadron missions
they only thing you can do is mark the closest player to you
another question
do i need to be sub acc to buy from online store avatar items, i try buy wolf set avatar 5 usd but it tell me to upgrade to a standard acc everytime i click buy
Okay
does /merror off also prevent your macro from being interrupted by other macros? or just removes the error messages
then yes, its telling you to
there are macros that target specific player positiopns in the party menu
only removes the message
okay, thank you
and i think you can macro marks onto people, could be wrong
darn ok guess ill just alt tab while my crafting macros work
That's /mlock
That stops macros interrupting another macros
that kinda queues up the next macro though right
No
No
Macros can’t queue period
ah
Hi how to move red mage mana bar plz ?
Hud layout
joining a static for DSR but I realise I need to repair mid-fight, how long does it take to level all the crafters to 80?
I just watched the endsinger aria's guide and it looks intense. I guess you learn from practicing the trial. I've never seen mechanics like theological fatalism.
tag name
how much gil are you willing to spend
Sorry cannot move balance jauge ....?
in UI settings i beleive
Its ok i made it ty
the different crafters repair different types of items (specifically the type they make)
ahh good to know .. Thnks
Yep. The more content you do, and the higher difficulty you start to attempt, the more the developers will start to throw at you to stretch your ability to observe, interpret, and correctly resolve things.
it's honestly one of the harder extremes
if you wanted to get into an EX, the other 2 EW ones are my recommended ones
EX1 has low personal responsibility with some tricky puzzle mechs
EX2 is intuitive and has a decent amount of movement
Ex3 only has 2 real mechs
EX3 is pretty rough because of reading hard mechs like 5head amd being unforgiving for stuff like quad planets
Planets and heads
yeah but i would argue the prevalence of planets throughout the fight make it justifiably harder than the other two
to beginners that is
like the very top 1%?
savage or ults?
ye
yeah top static clear-rates for statics are very quick even when you consider blind
from rlse to clear .. wow that decent
but it also takes them a whole day with vod review and mechanic dissection, it isn't just 'sit down and just do mechs lol'
the top statics know how to read the game
ya, becomes intuitive after so much time seeing / experiencing it.
can the support help me when the FC chest has been emptied by a person and immediately left?
i didnt know if the DEVs put out super hard content [like tunedd to say lv 92] to see if they can still win
no but you can report them
damn
And not allow access to the FC chest next time
they dont put out content thats meant for a higher lvl than accessible
when they release content it can be cleared at THAT ilvl
They don't put out unclearable or gear gated content
nice, thats breath of fresh air imho :p
We basically had that with Gordias and it almost killed the raid scene entirely
ya i heardd stories about that one heh

is there a requirement for buying a plot ticket? besides the rank rights of course
30 days in the fc
Permission to buy land
Yes
See entry requirements
they can provided they meet the 30 day requirements, and have correct permissions
so its not limited per account but per character?
you can own both a personal and fc house
thank you very much!
they meet it. we just thought they can't buy it since their main already has a private house

well i unlock bard and can play music now, how do i put up a macro to play some tunes?
You use 3rd party programs for it

You can't use in game macros for performance
People use bard midi player for it
alright thx
Hey so i’m relatively new to the game and i’m a lvl 60 DRG, i realized that i want to be a DRK. Should i finish all expansions as my DRG, or can i go become a DRK and lvl up to 60 then finish the rest expansions with the DRK? sorry about the long question.
Either, it’s your choice
If you want to keep working on the story at the same time, you can also keep progressing as Dragoon while leveling up Dark Knight, and when you catch up to yourself, you can swap over.
You get bonus experience gain on classes lower-level then your highest class, and the Leveling/MSQ/Alliance/Frontlines daily roulettes are a good source of experience bumps as well.
Dungeons
For example, you can queue for a roulette on one class, and while you're waiting for the roulette to pop, you can be doing something else on another class.
You're not locked to a class you queue on while you're waiting; you only have to switch back to it once the duty pops.
But given as drk is a tank you wouldn't be waiting long for a que
To make that faster, if you aren't using saved gear sets already, I'd suggest making use of them.
They're a lot faster than swapping weapons and then manually reequipping all of your gear.
what is this key
Tbh if you're willing to set aside the time @marble hollow grinding drk is quite easy
Your queues will pop fast
Throw in food and any other exp buffs you have
I bet you can go 30-60 in a few hours
You would want to gear up along the way, ironworks at 50 etc
Is this the Twelve Raid Series?
