just be sure to look at the map instead of looking stuff up online as it's likely outdated :p
Gotcha that explains alot
Sen is right, it's honestly far easier to just let the game guide you to all the Currents.
The Compass will lead you directly to every explorable Current, all four sidequest Currents will be blue on your map and will show you the Current as a reward before you even accept, and the fifth quest will always be automatically given when you finish the MSQ in that zone.
They're not unreasonably obfuscated like collectibles in other games.
SE wants you to have flying in zones.
why do patch quests give so little exp? it seems completely obsolete to me
they were made when the cap was 50
and HW also starts at 50
exactly, if a player is at the level cap what good is that exp gonna do them?
?
thats why im saying it seems obsolete
well at least its free xp
yeah but if ur at the level cap what is it gonna do
only old level cap quests give exp
would you rather they gave no exp?
it wouldnt make a difference because they give so little
you wouldn't hit x1 without the exp from them if you just did msq.
They didn't give exp when they were level cap, it was added once the level cap was raised in the subsequent expansion.
the issue for me is that i cant figure out why
we just explained
oh i see
then do they make the amount small to keep you at level 50?
or whatever the quest levels flatten out at
i've seen people at like 65 bcthey just did dailies instead of msq lmao
i reached level 70 near the start of heavensward
i did a bunch of duties trying to power level for job quests
i swear
i was excited for the summon bahamut move just to not be able to use it in msq until the end of heavensward
however i must say
using the moves against shinryu was great
and i got a chance to really use searing light usefully
Linkshell/Cross-world Linkshell
Linkshell and Cross World Linkshell. Chat channels.
What happens to your room in an FC house if you leave the FC
relinquish it before you leave
You have to demolish the room before you can leave
will there be a level 90-100 expansion? I haven't played endwalker but from what i saw it had many themes of finality, but 90 just seems like a slightly awkward level to stop at
Can you be kicked from an FC?
What happens then?
There is always more expansions
This isn't the last
As stated multiple times
The devs have said generally that they have plans for at least five more expansions worth of content, and have had to address repeated misconceptions that "Endwalker" is "the end of the game for ever and all time and nothing will ever happen afterwards because they used the word End".
It was simply the end of the Hydaelyn/Zodiark plotline.
FIVE?!
i mean im not surprised they were gonna continue but god damn five
Ten years of content, with a planned rollout of an expansion every two.
well good to know ill have some content to play through
interesting
wait is that in total or just for the additional content
Considering this is the fifth expansion, no, they're not stopping here.
Just ... it's gonna be around for a while lol
We’re already on year ten. They’ve got an outline ready for at least the next ten. Game’s not going anywhere.
are unidentifiable seeds only for relics?
They have no other use
yeah i figured that much
where is the NPC for getting your housing refund??
this game is old but not really old at the same time
The placard
Oh wait you mean the one from last lottery?
2 years at a time dont sound that long but ill be 10 whole years older by the time they finish
yeah. I thought they said they made an NPC you talk to
No, that was for people who won the plot but had already received their refund for losing
and who wanted, for whatever reason, to return the funds.
is there any mounts i can do solo besides arr horses and few hw trials?
That wasn't an NPC so you could get your money back after losing.
Various Alex savage raids, depending on your level and how well you can time things.
great hunt normal/extreme if you hate yourself
emanation ex also farmable but its like 7 mins per clear so I dont recommend
When you check the placard for a housing plot to see if you've won or lost, and you lost, you will be given a prompt to accept the refund of your bid.
Can't think of others that won't just one tap you at some point
i saw a few but is using tanks i only have lv83 gnb
Is A4s or A8s the gobwalker
4s
oh okay. I'm trying to remember which plot it was XD
8s has no mount
Yikes, yeah lvl 83 gonna die
can i still put in for a plot or is it over now?
83 cant solo lakshmi
Over
It's in the claim period
we got a week before you can bid again
Plots will open again in four days
It should be an option to view in your Duty tab in the options menu.
Check timer > housing tab
should be in timers as well
Thank you, that was what I meant.
I would pull up a screenshot for you, but I'm not in game right now.
oh thank you. i was going to each ward till i found it XD
who gets ownership of an fc house if a normal member wins
normal member hsa to claim it but then it defaults to housing perms for fc
the normal member who won, that is
the FC leader owns it technically
it depends on who has perms
mine only has admins and myself being able to mess with the house
Ok ok
what's the ranking of most to least dps for tanks?
okay thank you!
Its more like ranked tho
the difference is very very small fwiw
DRK GNB are higher dps
WAR PLD are normal dps
like you won't grief for running PLD
yeah, i know it usually wont make much diff but just curious about it
Rankings in savage
DRK and GNB have similar damage while PLD and WAR have similar damage
ohh thanks!
also yeah the difference isnt major
look at aDPS btw, tanks have no rDPS to speak of
the difference in an 8m fight with a good drk and a good pld is like
145k
which is not usually the deciding factor
unless your dps are bad
bosses have like what? 10 mil hp or something
so like... 0.1% of a boss' hp
oh wow okay, couldn't really tell that warrior is on the low side with all the crits and DH it does
so i assumed it was paired like drk/war higher and gnb/pld lower
can anything in treasure maps not be traded? a lot of parties i see are "your map your loot" but with lootmaster i didnt know if some items owuld go to the lootmaster and not be tradeable back to the map holder
depends on the i tem
most items are tradeable
i would not ever do lootmaster on a map group though
Does every job have an objectively superior build or is there variation
i think the "big" ones are like resplendent feathers/exciting fabric/etc
most builds on classes are based on having more or less spsp
is there a way to know which house you bid on?
thats ffxiv dev team philosophy, low skill ceiling = low max damage
most of which applies to SMN, SAM and BLM
that being said there's no objectively best build
There's basically no variation outside of different speeds they want
why so? game issue or untrustworthy people?
it is usually most preference since the damage difference between builds is marginal at best
untrustworthy people
fair
lootmaster is usually not a sign of good faith in others
no one would join a lm
Also there’s gonna be that one ass who just takes everything
lootmaster is a red flag
So best stat for a job is always the same
let me ask this question: do you not think it is contradictory that it's 'your map, your loot' but it's still lootmaster?
for the most part yes
Yes cause crit is so strong and dh/det are very generic and good
yeah, every class pretty much wants a certain amount of spell/skill speed to reach a certain global cooldown (gcd) timer. @vast ferry
Only warrior doesn't want dh
i can understand why people would want to do lootmaster on maps though, ive been in groups where i bring several maps and gotten to final stage but the guy who brings one map gets the winning roll
But don’t do that…ever
just don't have the rules set-up like that
you don't need lootmaster to prevent that
lootmaster maps? that's a thing?
how do you even enable lootmaster maps? don't you have to queue through df to get lootmaster?
idk im just goin off what ive been seeing and was wondering how it would work
yeah, that's fair
we're just saying lootmaster is somehow less reliable than honor system
So more sps/sks isn’t always better (outside of exceptions like rdm) you need a specific amount
entirely depends on the class
BLM loves as much SpS as it can get if you can help it
Actually you're right
Which is why the balance exists
It's not possible to enable lootmaster for map dungeons anyway
What is lootmaster btw
either way it just depends on the honor system like you guys say though, lootmaster depends on the honor of the lootmaster while "YMYL" depends on the honor of those who are in the group
lootmaster has the party leader decide who gets loot by the end
Party leader picks who gets loot
I never touch loot rules
So they can just take everything like a dick
Aka they steal all the loot and say cya suckers
That’s stupid
honor system isn't perfect but it's at least possible to do something about it
And that's why no one joins lootmaster groups
People mainly lootmaster static groups if anything
i mean YMYL vs lootmaster is both based on honor system
Who in their right mind would agree to letting 1 person choose who gets the loot
RDM never goes SpS. And yeah, optimally you want a certain amount, but a little more or less doesn't hurt the class usually. Unless you are monk, I know that a little less or more gcd than optimal is bad
Has anyone purchased tickets for the primals concert thats happening this week? It keeps asking to register my address even though I have it already registered -- does it only allow jp addresses?
reliance of the honor on one specific person in lootmaster is far more oppressive than standard group honor
fair point
its for pfs that pay ppl to pass on loot for money usually
but also im derailing the channel that this point so ill head out, ty for the answers though
gl with your runs 
also final addendum, The Balance usually has sets at different speed tiers for classes that do so
some classes, like RDM, don't, but BLM, SMN, SAM, tanks, etc do
so check it out there
!unlocks
but yeah fair point i forgot
generally they dont want it lol
#kupo-bot-spam , !faq unlocks
Does anyone have the link to the unlocks link? the addtional qusts I mean
ah thank you!
2.5 is baseline alignment that works until you know fight alignment
There doesn’t seem to be a channel questions that apply to all jobs as far as I can tell which is why I asked here
then swapping over to 2.48 is pretty easy since it's just a ring swap
Oh fight specific like the cursed prepull pld buff
there is nothing that applies to all jobs
all jobs have different nuances with substats
Just look at the jobs you’re wondering about
^
Ideally you want no sps because that aligns your rotation well at a baseline but but based on the tier having a little bit more room for movement and such is nicer
oh no I had a penalty increase not accepting a duty finder! is that bad?
I was alt tabbed trying to find that content unlock list
no, penalties don't matter outside of duty lockout for 30 minutes
Or leave a incomplete duty first
Just turn on the enable system sounds even when minimized setting
Refreshes daily
it goes away after a bit so don't sweat it
ah phew! thanks all
So you'll hear it even when tabbed out
great advice! thankyou
Go to the balance and check the general set for each class under the resources and that will give you a general idea of what each set wants. That's your general rule
Like aiming and scouting want 2.5 for example
maiming wants that too
there are omni-ranged and omni-tank sets but i don't think there's omni-melee or omni-caster because they all have such specific needs
omni melee exists
oh word
fair
omni caster doesn't, you either spec into blm and smn or rdm and smn
i, uh, forgot they were split up for a sec there so let's pretend i didn't say t hat
yeah omni-caster for sure is SoL
The duty finder window says something like there’s a penalty for Being the furst player to leave in 10 minutes does that mean if you leave after 10 minutes have passed it’s cool to leave or if someone leaves there’s a 10 minute grace period befire the penalty is reapplied
yeah
Not really sure what that means
So if a guy leaves and then you do you wont get a penalty. seen it happen in df extremes
honestly ppl only like
all leave
if its a df extreme
or df coils/savage
That doesn’t answer my question
I did tho. you have 10 minutes to leave after another player leaves
No so what happens is you can't vote abandon until 10 minutes have elapsed in the duty
and after that 10m is up the penalty will be applied to the next person
30 minute lock out
Cause I’ve had dungeons where people have left cause it wasn’t going well
And was afraid to leave cause of the penalty
And that punishment’s on them,
you can leave after them there wouldnt be a penalty unless more than 10m have passed since they left
the game wont let you leave or be kicked before 10 mins I'm pretty sure
I have a bit of a subjective question: what job should I play if I love the gameplay and fantasy of tank classes, but I want as little responsibility as possible for group content.
unless ofc you do unrestricted party
A tank
I mean that one where there was 5 wipes but no one wanted to vote abandon so I don’t really blame the dude for leaving
Oh shit you're right I'm thinking of vote abandon mb
All roles have responsibilities, so if you like tank play a tank
It was cruiser whatever from the Alexander raids
I don't understand your question, so you want the tank fantasy but you don't want to actually tank?
cruise chaser
Yeah that’s it
tank is arguably the easiest job in raids
propeller wind is legit a soft enrage
Which you probably will if roulette decides to throw you there but we’re kinda derailing my b
since you can eat more mistakes on a tank due to being tanky, people forgive your rotational mistakes more often, and most of your responsibility is tank swaps and facing the boss the right way
I like the gameplay of running up and hitting thing with a big stick. I actually do like tanking in dungeons, for the most part. But I don't have the mental bandwidth to have 8+ people all relying on me to know and teach the mechanics for nearly 10 years worth of trial/raid mechanics, most of which I don't know.
It’s really not that hard dude
its okay to get a little off topic just dont go into something entirely different at length
you have a back-up tank if you mess up
you seem to have a misconception that tanks are the leaders of the group; this is far from the truth
^
Also who’s expecting you to teach? If they die they’re supposed to learn
nobody is expecting tanks to know everything unless you explicitly say "hey I know everything"
Eeehhhhh... I've played off and on for about two years, I finished ShB, and people usually assume the Tank knows the content.
whoever knows the fight is the one who teaches
no?
in one of my statics it was the DNC who was the callout person
lmao
/p hey I’m new
Problem solved
I’ve had a quite a few runs where the tank died and we wiped
this only happens if your tank gives off vibes that imply they know the content lmao
join any savage/EX raid, say "hey new to this fight" problem solved
applies for any job
not just tank
I think they're just having a hissyfit that you're a new player and you make mistakes but they expect you to be perfect and know everything
depends on the content
if the tank dies in a dungeon yeah you will get morbed but it also depends on the healer equally if both are playing competently
also you realize you're not the only tank right
there's 2 tanks in endgame content
in raids it is whatever depending
And again screwing up is completely normal, it happens to everyone
trust me i'm usually the person that it goes to when a tank dies
it really is whatever as long as you're making an effort to learn
No, actually, I generally find the community super chill and supportive. I just... I guess I want to try more group content but without the pressure.
Honestly I’d had wipes when the dps died in the end all roles need to pull their weight
it is hard to get out of that mindset
but don't put tanks on a pedestal
they're just another role in the group is all
there is quite literally no pressure, any pressure is from your preconception of tank expectations
wiping happens. anyone who leaves a learning party early because of someone screwing up a mechanic is just an idiot
Well too bad because all roles have their own things to feel pressured about
DPs are expected to do a perfect rotation and not mess up mechs
dude being a tank isn't any more important than the other roles
do you think people will look down on a DPS for exploding in Pandae
I think you're way overestimating tanks
I may be, yeah.
you are
i'm not saying your feelings aren't valid
but they're not the right course to take in this game
literally just go into any group content and say "hey new to this fight"
tank or not
'hey can you mt for me' in raids
like I play both war and drk in the current savage tier and in one of my statics I don't have to say shit cause someone else does callouts
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
^this tbh
the only expectations from you are the same as any other job
maybe look up the fight first if it's an EX or savage
otherwise just go in and relax
like people are mostly fine with wiping so long as you learn. so long as you're not failing at the same thing many, many, many times, most people don't care about a wipe. I mean it happens all the time where I'll run a trial or normal raid, we'll wipe, we learn what we did wrong, and clear second try.
tank privilege is truly real
Well healers tanks and dps all have different expectations placed on them it’s just that thise expectations are all equally important
Hrm. Perhaps I'll try sticking with GNB or DRK for awhile longer, and just try to get out of my own head.
there is no "DPS" or "healer" privilege
there is "tank privilege"
DPS and healers can't fuck up nearly as often and still live
As long as you’re having fun with the job, that’s all that matters
I do. Minus when I mess up and feel like all eyes are on me, lol.
don't worry about failure, because you are not meant to get everything the first time on your first try at all whatsoever.
the only two expectations for anything is "know your job" and "know or learn the fight"
Oh, even on my 10th run through... I take a lot of breaks from the game, and have a poor memory.
emphasis on "know OR learn"
A tank that rushes things and doesn’t take healer skill level into account is just as bad as a healer who doesn’t deal damage or a dps who doesn’t know their rotation all of those can and will get your team killed
Especially in high end content
I would say a tank that repeatedly rushes things
like if you just wiped in a pull
do half of it
dont do the full thing again
if you die to a mechanic
figure out what you couldve done
Ok, thanks for the encouragement. I'll stick with it for now.
well that specific situation could have context, sometimes when you wipe from a large pull and you come back, you may have more cooldowns than you originally did
just be capable of reading the situation
Next problem: how to make my fingers hit the right keys...
pure muscle memory baby
change your keybinds
oh and dont use default keybinds lol
practice at a training dummy in 6 minute sessions, use ACT and xivanalysis for additional help
I have a new keyboard since last playing, all muscle memory is broken, lol
Try putting stuff in a way you can remember
That's a me problem for sure, heh
you just need to play enough till ya get it, simple as
Like on a controller I have aoe vertical and singje horizontal whenever possible
Dots/hots go on the right/bottom
I did try running a dungeon with controller yesterday (Holminster Switch). I accidentally Superbolided twice. x.x
Similar skills are grouped together and put in the same place regardless of class
My poor healer...
Yeah don’t put skills yiu don’t want to accidentally press on a dpad
I learned that the hard way
I sometimes diagonal my dpad causing me to hit both skills
I keep less used skills on my 2nd hotbar on the left trigger since im right handed
could also put them on a double tap hotbar
I had all my mitigations in the wxhb under RT+RT, and kept accidentally hitting it when going for Aurora.
I have my mit on double tap
yeah I wouldn't group invuln with the rest of your mit
it's a "sometimes I press this"
Yeah best to put it somewhere easy to reach but not where you’d press it by accident
Still trying to decide if I should learn controller or my new keyboard.
Funny thing that happened was I was about to die and the healer burned a bunch of resources to heal me to full right as bolide went out
Controller is a strange experience for an MMO for me, too many years of WoW and others.
So I went back to 1 hp
Thankfully benediction went off cd
Should I like be warning healers whenever I cast my tank invuln
play on whichever is more comfortable
You should be planning your invulns ahead of time
And say you're using it next pack
Identify the largest pack and use it there
So I shouldn’t just save it for when I’m about to die
The whole point is that, right now, neither is more comfortable. Controller is physicially comfortable, but learning the xhb is awkward (and skills on the dpad while moving with the stick is... hard)
not for bolide
That's the worst way of thinking about ANY mitigation
Tank invulns are the strongest mitigation in your kit
And should be actively used, especially dungeons
And my keeb is very comfortable for typing, but I only get 5-6 skill buttons in a convenient location, and the stretch from ctrl/alt/shift is awkward, especially with shift on my thumb and the other two on my pinky...
None have any downsides anymore
Being dropped to 1 hp or dying a few seconds after using it sound like pretty big downsides
No
If you're using invuln you were GONNA be going down to low hp anyway
So who the fuck cares
And no invuln kills you anymore unless you physically afk during LD
(or happened to get stunned for the large duration and therefore can't lifesteal yourself up)
I've never survived a LD. Granted, I've only done it maybe three times, as an "ohshit" button, in random duty finder dungeons...
1 aoe in Ld literally full heald you now
or if the healer panics because you are dropping like a rock and doesnt let you die until just after the LD duration expires... in which case you probably shouldnt have used it but still.
In aoe
And if you have full uptime on a boss with constant gcd rolling you can basically heal Ld yourself
@wooden glen LD heals you, there's no way you die while aoeing in trash
or even with full uptime on a boss
every GCD is a heal, so unless you're doing literally nothing
Didn't they change it in EW? I haven't used it since ShB. I took a break around launch because my game time ran out and I was barely able to play anyway with the launch queues as they were.
yes
you also keep the effect of walking dead for the full 10s even if you get healed to full during its duration. So if you full heal with 8s left you have 8s left of cant fall below 1. Nice QoL even if its not really necessary.
Can I buy the game with the same name, address, credit card etc in 2 accounts? I need to get an account for my daughter
is there a section on this server for housing ideas, similar to the glamour discussion section?
Using the same account info will likely flag the account as suspicious.
I don't know what house I bid on. Is there any way to find out?
Timers menu in the housing section
Thanks
Hey everyone. So my question could be considered a bit weird. I've been playing FFXIV for about 2 years and I never made an in-game friend. I've been to 1-2 FCs but both of them felt like they knew each other for quite some time and didn't have time for new members. I want to ask, is there a place in-game where people gather to just talk, I guess? I'm on Chaos, Ragnarok, and apart from Limsa, I feel like my server is dead(?), like nobody ever tries to engage to a convo with another player.
That's because there's no global chat so most either shuffle (and crowd out) into novice network because of how region chat works
Limsa is your best bet, and the next best place is generally always the current expansion cities
Honestly most people use chat programs like Discord for their game-related socialization
you have to figure out how to network and interact to build a relationship
i made friends by asking for their discords then inviting them to do stuff. some stuff as rudimentary as roulettes and shooting the shit will get you points if your chemistry is good
in-game text only gets you so far as to actually maintain connections
join an fc
I mean personally I made friends via static raiding and also social media related to ff14
also yeah doing what i said with an FC is the easiest way to connect imo
your server is decidedly not dead. this just isn't wow where people have public conversations
yeah same cerb, my static connected me and my friends a lot closer
Eh someone said it before but what were jobs that are overtuned for doing Eureka?
I remember 4 of the six i think was RDM, SMN, GNB and MCH
GNB, RDM, SMN are all genuinely overtuned
Hey what's best poetic dump besides HW relic items?
WAR, DRK and MCH aren't overtuned but they are pretty solid in general and do well in an add-to-add environment in eureka
Cryptlurker accessories for GC seals
I see
Thanks
i also use unidentified ore -> thanalan topsoil for gil if seals aren't your fancy
i'm not sure what's more gil efficient
I want to get the Maiming Elemental Gear cause in the end its way too cool of a gear even if i dont play much DRG/RPR
Guess ill do it as a RDM or SMN and get the relic for them
yeah i was gonna say
RDM does marginally less damage than SMN but it's pretty strong for open-field resses and pooling resources between adds
i would argue RDM does better in open-field despite the damage difference than SMN
so i'd go with that personally
Well i do enjoy playing RDM after all
SMN is also perfectly fine if you like the relic for it better though, i'm just giving tips
if you're not RDM there's sure as hell is gonna be one near by at all times in any active instnace
To be fair i like the summoner glow effect more i guess
Im mainly doing it for the armor, but i guess ill grab the SMN Book, it also goes well with some sets
yeah honestly you don't need to min-max eureka even if you do up to baldesion arsenal so go with your heart
You don’t need to play as the job for the SB relic, the grinding can be done as any job
i persoanlly am partial to the pyros book
also yeah you don't need to main just one job
can i report someone for being a serious creep if it's not directed towards me
this dudes making multiple treats and homophobic remarks direcetly satated he was stalling someone all cause he got rejected
Yeah im gonna do it as some other job, then again i guess i could do it as RPR so it fits the Maiming Gear?
in-game?
yes
yeah defo report anything you see like that
Well this sucks
it doesn't matter if you're involved
Sometimes i wonder what leads to people to act like this
c'est la vie
How do I hide the Novice network chat?
do you wish to remain inside the novice network
Ehhh, if the only way to hide it is leave I'll leave
i think you can choose to hide it with log filters
if you have access to it i think you can choose to filter it out or at least put it in a separate channel
i haven't ever been in NN though so i wouldn't know if it entirely works
plenty
how to i copy and paste chat logs
If you’re PC, just click and drag and use your hot keys for copying and pasting
directly highlighting and ctrl+c -> ctrl + v works on kb/m
if you also have some screenshotting software that also works out the best
Does anyone know how loot rules work on the new NPC party dungeons? Are you less likely to get good loot if you do it with NPCs as opposed to through duty finder?
You in fact get all the drops
And leveling dungeons always guarantee you one piece of gear for the class you're running.
you get all the drops with the same odds but you just get less loot per chest with trusts iirc
oh.. are there any drawbacks to doing it with NPCs then?
It takes longer
It takes roughly 25-30 min
ah right, cuz players cant speedrun it for you lol
it's intentional to be done at a set time to the point where NPCs will literally go slower if you do too much DPS too
Right, and the NPCs will balance their DPS down if yours is high
or up if yours is low.
so it will always take within 25-30min
my main thing is that i never know how any of the puzzles or boss mechanics work since the other players just speed right through them
yeah it would be a good opportunity to learn with npcs
does se do hardware id bans
this guys making death treats and saying he'll keep harassing the poor girl even if it means using a vpn and making new accounts
Report em
You can report them, and report any subsequent accounts that threats/harassment comes from.
workin on it i've got 36 lines and counting of harassment
But anything more than that, local authorities would have to get involved.
I have a problem when targeting enemies: basically until I target one I can't see the enemy list and targeting one is hard cause party members cover them on my screen so I click them instead, is there a way to "fix" this?
pretty sure a lot of it would require trigger warnings
Tab targeting will ignore friendly targets.
Tab targeting; or "Target Nearest", which you can bind to an easily-accessible non-used key
I have mine bound to C because that's where it's been bound in every other game I've played, so it's reflex
but you might like it somewhere else.
Ok thanks guys, I'll look into it
It's the "Target Nearest Enemy" keybind right?
yep
yeah you spam tab
it's not perfect but it works for the most part
when you play for long enough you'll develop a rhythm for it in add packs
Thanks!
Who do I talk to so I can access ||Endsinger|| High end, it’s the wandering ministeral yes? For some reason the raid isn’t appearing
It's under Trials, and yes, the Wandering Minstrel; he's in Old Sharlayan
near the docks
Oh found it, it’s in raid finder
Yep.
This is the extreme fight yes?
Does it say "The Minstrel's Ballad: {Fight Name}"?
Yes
Those are EXs, always have been, always will be
Is the upcoming Arkasodara beast tribe Combat, Crafting or Gathering based?
probably combat but im not sure if its confirmed
I'm thinking the same. I cant find any info about it
crafting has never been introduced first before
is there a difference between Trust and Duty Support? Like as far as dungeon drops?
Combat is always first
No
I mean there were many many empty mediums and smalls without any bids in the empirium fc wards
What if my FC won two houses? How can I refund one of them?
you claim one afaik

how do i get someone banned if they keep making accounts
Okay so I need some help figuring out a plan, I plan to try to level summoner as my second main job when I don’t want to tank, I’m really worried about getting the job to ilv 590 when it reaches level 90? What should I probably do to prep the job so I don’t have to go on a grind fest having to try and increase the ilv quickly?
grab classical from the mb, or craft it yourself if you can, and augment it to 590
ez pz
buying the complete edition grants a month of free playtime?
get classical and/or grind asphodelos normal for gear
can someone help me with "A Relic Reborn" Im supposed to get a "Materia-enhanced aeolian scimitar" but im not sure where to get that qwq
How many tears will I need?
Pins
either craft and meld yourself or buy the weapon from the marketboard and meld it
sometimes can find a melded version on the mb but wouldnt bank on it
Specifically meld the materia it asked for also
So I need around 36 rains? Fortunately I’m just doing Warrior and Summoner, those are my jobs I’m best at
If you don’t plan to get any of the other 590 gear instead
I managed to find one on mb, but it cost me my house, my kids, and my soul. 
Thank you!! ^^
How much gil should I probably save first before attempting to get all the gear I need?
you can do to cheapen things a bit
buy a lot of one of the bigger token exchange items
weapon being the most, chest/pants being 2nd most
You'll probably end up with more tokens than needed but could be cheaper than buying a full set to exchange
Well it’s just that accessories usually cost around 20k gil, so perhaps 400k?
I play a BRD - what’s best for me out of: direct hit, critical hit and determination?
And could someone explain why as well? Thanks 💖
Probably best to consult the balance
!faq balance
join the server and check there
Thanks - what is this server for then please?
Is this not for beginner questions and help? I will redirect myself
for what you're asking for
endgame bis
i mean
the balance is where any server would point you
Ok
does leveling arcanist level summoner too? and if so does vice versa work as well?
....kind of.
Arcanist becomes Summoner. Once you get access to Summoner, you no longer need Arcanist.
you don't stop being arcanist when you become a summoner/scholar
Both Summoner and Scholar use Arcanist experience, so leveling Summoner automatically levels Scholar, and vice versa.
yes but if one levels the other that means my summoner level is my scholar
you will see in the chat that you receive arcanist exp
whehter you're smn or sch
and they will both level
I barely look at chat so I wouldnt know
as they are both from the arcansist class
Asphodelos? But I thought it drops ilv 575 gear? Isn’t that a bit too low?
it drops 580.
Does someone have a guide on how to make Grade 4 Artisanal Skybuilders' Tincture, the ishguardian level 80 stuff?
that's the expert craft right?
It’s for grinding the tomes rather than the gear yes?
the gear is fine
Lvl 90 dungeons are a better source of astronomy tho
Like 5 expert roulettes and you’re done for a week
Don’t you only get expert roulette rewards one a day though?
from roulette, yes.
from running the dungeons on their own, you can do as many runs as you want
You get rewards on top of daily
until cap obv
With the bonus 90 astro
Without 50
And you also get more inside the dungeon
I think like 10 astro for each major chest opened?
No that’s aphorism
Astro is the capped tome
trying to get back into the game but its only letting me log into my Free Trail account instead of my main account through Steam, any ideas?
Are you sure that you’re a standard account? Look on mogstation
did you connect the trial account to steam instead of the main one
i didnt think i did o.o how can you unlink it from steam?
like on the FF Launcher it wont let me put a different ID name for some reason
You have to contact square
i cant unlink my steam account or anything? it wont let me sub again on my main cuz its still linked to a steam account
Wait are you not a steam user on the main account?
i thought i was? but when i launch from steam the FF launcher shows the FTP account ID
You can only have the one ff14 account linked to a steam account
it USE to be my main account tho thats what im confused about
like im on my Steam account now that has FF14 Shadowbringers and all that jazz, past sub payments, but when i launch FF14, its the FTP account that pops up
So go to square support and ask them to unlink the account
Then you can put the paid account’s info in
ok will do. thanks thats just a really weird thing to happen there xD
It’s been a since I played Summoner, any suggestions for a controller setup?
put all your ST in one place, aoes in another place, pet stuff in another place
Honestly, Summoner is straightforward enough that you can hit a dummy for a couple of minutes and see what's going on.
Most everything becomes your main attacking skill, which simplifies things a lot.
friend lost her housing bid, when will she be able to bid on a lot again?
At the beginning of the next cycle.
The feathers thingies that dancer get, is it ok if i save them and spend them any time i want? i mean after all as long as i dont over cap is fine right
Each bidding period is five days long, each acceptance period is four.
Nine day total.
Yes, you can either use when you get them or use them to keep from capping.
Best use is during burst.
The balancing game is to keep as many as you can (without overcapping) to dump during your burst.
What is the dancer burst o: technical step?
Yeah
And flourish
both step moves are used on cooldown yes?
when is a good time to use Improvisation
During downtime
Not any more necessarily
during dungeons or alliance raids?
Improv now has 0 offensive utility
When the boss is gonna go for a big attack is unyargetable
I only use it for Big telegraphed attacks
That's literally the definition of downtime...
Not exactly
You have to time that shit
You can also just flash it as an ogcd to apply a regen
I imagine is better to just use it at 1 stack than just sit there 15 seconds doing nothing
Honestly you won't use it most of the time
downtime is usually several seconds
yeah i was wondering because the heal is not that great.... doesnt seem all that amazing of a skill, kinda silly
I've had a lot of downtime as dnc in dsr
It's free mitigation
improv is best used as a defensive at this point
Figuring out where it can be used is the hard part
Progging dsr makes you rethink what exactly to call "downtime"
Not sure that's germane, but
ok so i want to get back in the game after playing the free trial two months ago, i got the game thru steam and got a bit confused when it came to subscriptions and i just want to know if paying thru steam wallet will charge my card and not my steam wallet itself
cause i don't got anything in my steam wallet itself
If you want to use your card then set up the card payment on mogstation
oh so i dont have to pay thru just steam
Keep in mind if you want to play the game up through HW without having to pay monthly, you should hold off on buying the game
Even if you use steam wallet to pay, you have to go through mogstation
so i can pay with either methods and i can play the steam version just fine
Will it be possible to buy robborant at any point without P3 books?
yes
When is that?

Like July ish
does spamming /cheer go against the rules
there was a stack of lalas spamming /cheer in limsa it was super cute
No not really
Unless you’re harassing somebody
Unless it'd done in a malicious manner
not necessarily unless you find it's to harass a specific person by spamming it wherever they go
maybe if it clogs chat
i may or may not have joined that stack
yeah it's not illegal don't sweat it
people aren't gonna be annoyed at a bunch of lalafell stacking up like that lmao
If the person tells you to stop emoting and you don’t, then whatever happens next is on you
as far as i could tell we weren't emoting at anyone we were just standing in a corner and spamming emotes
Then whatever, nobody cares
https://i.imgur.com/liDt22b.png
Is there a way to increase the odds of this garbage?
yeah i wouldn't really sweat it in general until someone specifically says soemthing
higher tier materia or swapping to a different materia type
It doesn't seem to want to let me use any higher ones yet
yeah t hen no, you can only use higher materia after a certain point of the lower tier being put in
it gets lower as you put more materia in until you move to the next grade tier
Kill me
but if you continue doing that it's just gonna be butts
the optimal strat is doing different tier 1's
I mean It’s a zodiac, you knew what you were getting into
your stats won't matter after a certain point for 50 weapons so w/e
is there any specific day people do Delubrum Reginae in primal?
join a discord for it
What do you recommend I put on my abxy buttons for easy access?
ST and and pet stuff
pain
What about the other stuff? What will I Primaly be attacking with at level 80, haven’t played summoner since SHB so I’m a bit lost
ruin for ST and whatever the other is for aoe
Go smack a dummy for a bit, I promise you will figure it out almost immediately.
Like, I'm not shitposting, Summoner almost tells you how to play it by itself.
All of your summons either change Ruin/Tri-Disaster, or they change Shine/Brilliance.
The summon button is a single target? I usually group my summons together in a different place
All summons deal damage with aoe
The summons are summons. Notice the arrows aren't pointing to the summons.
I'm pointing at four skills there.
Oh my bad, it’s just that the arrow started from Ifrit so I assumed
Do big summon
Yeah, no I understand where the confusion came from lol.
Play with big summon
Pick a lego
Summon lego
Do lego aspect Ed attacks
Repeat til out of lego
Do other big summon
Repeat
Wait, I can’t summon Ifrit on the get go?
Summoner is simpler than dancer at this point
No
No
You need to do Bahamut
Nope, everything chains from Baha/Phoenix.
should i get the lego infographic
Nah it's fine.
Yes

You don't even have resources to manage
I mean, aside from remembering Lucid Dreaming
Does anyone know what this helmet is perhaps?
Well fester
bonewicca's
Can be saved to hit buffs
not sure what class but it's bonewicca's for sure
Bonewicca doesn't have that horn tho
is there any for se to prevent someone from making more accounts
Not really otherwise we wouldn't have bots
They presumably ban emails with the accounts but nothing stopping ppl getting new emails
this dudes still harassing someone he's been at it all day keeps making accounts
Or change ip
yes it does
it's the bonewicca's wilding helm
mansuya helm of striking is a reskin that's purple
Aside from finding the harasser irl, no company can stop people making new accounts with new emails
Google can't do it, what makes you think squenix can
All you can really do is report the guy, and wait until a gm handles it
i mean several of the things he's said i simply can't say cause they're blacklisted here
Blacklisting them should block tells
Otherwise report the accoint
We're not squenix
We're not gms
they keep making new accounts abusing the free trial
All we can tell you is to report them
Tell the person to get a name change so they can't be found again
And/or go to a different dc
This is very very very much not something we can help you with
Jump worlds idk
Go to people with actual power
Not a bunch of bored nerds from reddit
i'm just camping in limsa so i can report him as soon as he loggs on with a new account
Good to know.
Do you're just reporting every new account that logs in...?
That totally won't flag as harassment
ohh
I got confused cuz I already had bonwicca, but i got a diff one
no i'm reporting him because as soon as he logs in he starts throwing out homphobic remarks and threats
this really is no longer the channel for it, Alice. All you can do is report to the GMs and let them handle it
nothing more to be said or done about that situation
Pretty sure basic text filters get flagged if it's as bad as you say
yeah just grab the name and they'll likely check the IP as well if it's a repeat issue
name of the original account that is
he claims he's connecting throuh a vpn
Alice, kael just said to stop
Look, we've answered your initial question. Any further information is unfortunate, but nothing we can actually address.
Take the conversation elsewhere and/or go to a gm
Please take note that we are a community discord
We appreciate that you're trying to do the right thing. But you're cluttering the channel now.
We cannot do anything beyond giving advice
i was going to stop but i had to reply to jim
but since a mod said stop i will
moving on i got a question myself: 6.15 next week?
Yes
Yeah the 7th
i forget, is island sanctuary coming?
no
That’s 6.2
6.2 for island
island sanctuary isnt for a while
Okay so I just made my Summoner Crossbar, is it alright if I show it to see if I’m missing any job actions?
you could just go through actions and traits and put each of them on and remove duplicates
Sure
?
If you have done all your job quests up to your current level
They were responding to 6.2 Island
Not you
Oh my apologies
happens happens
It is fairly unlikely to miss any summoner skill given how the job flows
It is more likely that you forgot about the role action
Still putting role actions in, planning on putting them on the left
Toss out physick
lol dont bind physick
i would put your rezz on a back hotbar
youre not going to use it often at all
alrighty so I changed it to this!
you dont really need sleep either unless youre planning to do eureka
That’s why I put it in a area that isn’t easy to reach
That’s why I also put those on the abxy for easy use
Also question, which sounds like a better plan? Level summoner to 90 then try to get ilv 590 gear, or try to get the 590 gear ready for summoner by grinding the necessary funds with my highest ilv job before leveling?
whichever one is less boring to you
Get it to 90 first and toss normal mode raid gear on it while you gear your main
Well my main is already 590, so now I’m just trying to level my second main which was summoner
Do you mean pandemonium?
That's normal mode raid yes
Is the weekly rewards limit for them still a thing
Oh thank god
Okay so it seems my summoner is at an ilv at 490, how can I quickly get it to ilv 500 so I can start leveling?
530 poetic set in crystarium/eulmore
Who has it?
i got 10k+ for the ocean fishing but jonathas isnt offering the shark mount
Achievement windoe
Jonathas lost his job
You just claim it from the achievement menu now
Summoner is just spamming summon abilities and just rotating summons
It’s actually very easy now!
It's the easiest job now
Crystarium Sundry Splendors is so much better organized for poetics gear, compared to whatever the hell's going on with Eulmore's vendor arrangment
thats what they're for basically, same can be said for every expansions equivalents
the only reason to level trusts is... their clothes? because when i click duty support it just synch them to the story moment charcters
you also get a title
the reason you level trusts is so they can do higher level dungeons if you really don't wanna deal with real people or queues
if you care not for any of these minor rewards then yeah no reason to
duty support synch them without leveling them tho xD
leveling them is for achievements/glam
yeah i was speaking in regards to avatar system in case you wanted a specific comp for any reason
theres no advantage to that right, i mean they all perform about the same
correct
yes
For lore people or character people there's also some in dungeon dialogue
I did ||aitascopes|| with trusts specifically to see how they reacted to some of the events in the dungeon
Tag that name
what does time means on pvp board
Time on crystal
ooh thank you
Sure. But from what I remember you never even hear the term until 3 minutes before the dungeon unlocks
That doesn't mean it's not a spoiler.
will 6.15 end the pvp series for crystaline?
ty
Malmstone is the major patches
@faint flare im still 5 lvls away from the dumb 25 reward lol
is there relic weapons in endwalker yet? or later?
After level 80, is the opener and rotation the same no matter the level? For summer
Always relevant
Your rotation is done at lv26
Anyways; at 90 it depends on if you open with Garuda or Titan
You just get upgrades as you go
SMN rotation is simple AF, and they are a very mobile caster since like 90% is instant casts
they are quite fun
What about Aetherflow, how should I use that and when?
I’m assuming Ifrit always last?
No
It's fight dependant
As you don't necessarily want to be on ifirit when you need to move alot
Unless you're smart with using swiftcast, ruin 4 and the crimson cyclone combo for movement
The ideal during Bahamut is to chase with Titan first because of the additional power of the oGCDs, and lead into Garuda. But making sure you haven't locked yourself into Ifrit when you need to move is a primary consideration.
Summoner has a lot of free movement, but you'll have roughly three or four GCDs where you're locked.
anyone know when they will have another free login time? i want my friend to play with me
No
Free Trial is always a thing.
yes but they are way past that
what do yall do with gear that's like from tomestones. Idk what to do with 570 gears i have
and they dont want to spend about 26-28 dollars to replay for another month haha
It’s 13 dollars dude
for americans yes
plus they play on steam, so you have steam tax too
attleast what i heard
You don’t pay tax on subs
You dont
Subscription price isn't controlled by Steam, nor does Steam get any cut of that fee.
At all.
We don’t work for Square. if they haven’t said anything, We don’t know anything
if your friend hasn't played in a hot minute but still has the account the only thing he needs to play again is renewal of the sub
Last year's "free time" was also compensation granted to people for the massive population issues at launch.
i didnt say you guys did, just wanted to see if there was any hope if there was any word about it this year instead of just the possibly snobby comments of 'oh its cheap just buy it' ><
which, again, is not increased in any way from the advertised price
You had to have an active subscription to get them.
they weren't saying it's cheap
!faq subprice
they were correting you on the highly inflated price you gave it for steam
if i'm not using it i just scrap em for seals
Can't seals 570 yet
oh, word? nvm
