The ability only needs to get casted
Getting hit is not a requirement and does not boost the learning chance

doing synched dungeon/trial/etc does make the learn rate 100%

short remnant
ok so im brand new and am looking for places to find people to party with whats my best bet?
obsidian patio
In-game with the party finder
open coral
Depends on why you're trying to party up
Most content you can just queue up in the duty finder and the game will find a party for you.
short remnant
ok
boreal storm
Or if duty support is available, you can just use the AI
short remnant
more like where do i find humans to journey with?
open coral
Story stuff is very much a solo game. There are no advantages to being in a party for that.
boreal storm
Yeah That’s not really a thing people do
open coral
But the Novice Network could help you find similarly new players to chat with.
obsidian patio
Novice Network being an in-game chat channel that in-game mentors can invite you to
short remnant
ok at what point can i break out of story mode and just do stuff with people?
boreal storm
When you beat the story
obsidian patio
It has mentors and other returning/new players

Story is everything, but you get group content throughout the story.
This is an RPG first and an MMO second - the story locks the vast majority of content behind completion.

Have you tried doing the world visit from the login screen to get back to your home world?
open coral
there is a lot of running around in early game?
Yes
ARR has some really janky bits about it because they were rebuilding an entire game from the ground up.

Also it’s an RPG, that’s a common occurrence

Story level is the only level that really matters, since your class level is whatever level of class you currently have equipped.
open coral
Extreme/Savage raids are only available at max level right?
Per expansion - so you could access the Savage/Extreme content from Heavensward when you hit level 60 and finish the 3.0 MSQ
cursive abyss
What's the best way to recruit people to help you get BLU Mage spells from dungeons? Party Finder?
open coral
Yeah, PF is best for spells
viral oracle
Per expansion - so you could access the Savage/Extreme content from Heavensward ...
You can find that through the duty finder?
open coral
Yes, but nobody's going to queue for Savage/Extreme in DF
boreal storm
Ever

Just join/make a PF
Doing Relics is way longer than you think, especially if you’re not at lvl 90
viral oracle
I’ll try it out, hopefully it works
open coral
Most people will prefer to do old Savage/Extreme content unsynced, which is why you won't get a party through Duty Finder most of the time
viral oracle
Ahhhh makes sense.
open coral
There are very rare cases where you will, and then it will be with Mentors who don't really want to be there
boreal storm
Even synced EXs and savages use PF
Because they actually want people to join

Do I need to complete a dungeon to fully acquire a BLU action or can I exit out once I have it?
open coral
No
viral oracle
Lol what I say wrong?
open coral
You can leave as soon as you learn the spell
boreal storm
You’ll see
open coral
Lol what I say wrong?
That it will be easier to do relics because you won't have to rely on anyone
That does not make them easier
viral oracle
I mean anything done alone makes things a bit simpler because I have no friends in this game haha, maybe it’ll take a while but I would have the best gear for my current level and a cool glam

At 32 you don't really have a lot of options when it comes to single target healing

This will also change as soon as you get your actual rotation. Fire 1 (Paradox later) will only be used as a means to refresh Astral Fire, and your Firestarter procs will be mainly for movement.

But seriously I wouldn't worry too much @forest lark . Support has ways to "unstick" characters and even move them from location to location the way GMs move characters into the gaol.
I'm sure they'll be able to get you un-quantum'd

We tend to recommend PF even for synced runs because then everyone knows what they're getting into, and by joining the party have agreed to try for the clear.
DF it's literally pulling 7 random people who are in an eligible queue (Mentor roulette or specific queued for the instance), and at least half of them probably aren't happy to be there.

Although Critical Engagements may not be the fastest way to collect memories of the dying, it's highly recommended that you run Critical Engagements anyway until you reach rank 10, because that's required for one of the later steps.

@twilit arch In your opinion, do some of the Recollection Weapons look better than Law's Order?

What about when my raid buff can be popped?

That's pretty much the only time you use it, when you have multiple raid buffs up (searing light, technical step, etc)
Otherwise save swift for movement (to keep GCD rolling if you have no other way) or for rez

When do you recommend I use energy drain? Both or only Bahamut?
sacred apex
So I should use it only if I can time it well in both of those phases?
primal gull
You should use it always
I'm just taking about very small optimizations that people like to do at max level
warped nest
Aligning and timing these correctly is fine, as long as you don't miss a use in the whole fight
But yeah, it is more of a high level optimization
For now, just use them as they become readied
sacred apex
Just gotta practice and I’m sure I’ll figure them out, after all practice makes perfect
primal gull
In general you're going to want to work in one energy drain, 2 festers, 1 enkindle phoenix/bahamut in every demi phase
Also deathflare during bahamut
And rekindle during Phoenix isn't a damaging ability but a strong heal over time effect for your tank (or anyone else who needs healing)

There is tab targeting, and it's action and not turn-based, but this game runs on a Global Cooldown system where you have a set of abilities that all share the same relatively short cooldown, and a set of abilities that have long cooldowns and are meant to be used either in between the GCD roll or specifically during a high-damage burst period.

its an mmo, being close to a target auto attacks, but you also have mana and skills, some work together, where skill a is better after skill b is used. it kind of depends on the class though. have you over played WoW or runescape?

So I guess I am asking about the combat with this game, is that with ESO/GW2 it is all combat, fast action, you have to move, change weapons, skills to max damage etc, Since I am not good enough for these games, would FF Online be a better fit to play, is it older style when you can walk up not move and tank and spank like Everquest, or move a little but have like 3 skills you swap like wow? or is it like ESO/GW2, where you are changing weapons, skills, moving dodging, rolling, all the time to avoid damge and giving the most damage you can?

Sort of but sort of not. You have more time in general to move before mechanics resolve than in GW2.

The mechanics in most fights, especially the higher in difficulty you go, almost always happen in a known sequence that, while it can have variety for a single mechanic, makes fights less of a reactionary gameplay and more of an elaborate dance routine.

leaden ginkgo
It’s not complicated when you have 90 levels to learn how it works
Yeah I haven’t played anything like RuneScape or wow so I have no idea what to do with that stuff
obsidian patio
To boil crafting them to a simple explanation. You’re trying to fill up the “Progress” bar to finish the craft successfully while also filling up the “Quality” bar to improve the chances of the item being High-quality, which improves the stats.
boreal storm
And the game does explain this when you unlock a crafter, it’s really easy to learn if you just mess around with it
obsidian patio
You also need to deal with durability and CP, which skills use up. If you hit 0 Durability the craft fails if you didn’t max out Progress. If you hit 0/low CP you can’t use a majority of your skills.
But yeah, it’s a pretty gentle slope on the game giving you skills

Astrologian starts at 30
the quest to unlock it remains as stated above

I was just looking that route because I've dabbled a bit with Conjurer and Arcanist and Arcanist feels smoother for leveling.

AST does start at level 30 but you can't unlock it until a level 50 story quest

i concur
I would suggest doing scholar and then going back to dungeons to learn your toolkit incrementally if you wish to practice

Healers have better queue times
And arcanist is a dps for 30 lvls

- These unlock a feature, instanced content, job actions, or a thing that is important for you to have. Do the ones related to your job/class and ones that unlock new content
- These usually have very little exp/gil as reward and are usually just part of the world/lore expansion. Mostly optional unless you are interested in doing them for the fluff

It's just shorthand for power.

i'm only asking bc i feel undergeared using 60 tomestone gear in a 68 dungeon, but the 68 levelling gear is worse

are you using the right gear?
high ilvl doesn't mean shit, if you have the wrong stats on that gear
sullen vine
are there any good desynth level grinding guides for higher levels? got my goldsmith to 300 but not sure what to do from here
steep egret
level 50 and 60 tomestone gear, has no restrictions for the accessories, so you can accidentally be using the wrong accessories with stats that aren't useful to your current class

are you using the right gear?
i would assume so? fending on a tank job. not sure how to answer this otherwise

fending accessories?

you shouldn't notice it really
so yeah, double check your gear, accessories specifically

and i did just check, correct accessories
i can only imagine they want me using dungeon gear so i guess i'm doing HoH instead lol

If it's your first class, the MSQ should also have given you some HQ gear as quest rewards, and 67 is around the point where that gear starts to outstrip the tomestone gear. Dungeon gear starts to outstrip it around ... the 63 dungeon is where I believe the dungeon gear and the tomestone gear are equal in stats.

can also depend on the tank
boreal storm
i would assume so? fending on a tank job. not sure how to answer this otherwise
Wait you’re a tank, you’re supposed to be running dungeons anyway

i notice GNB feels quite sqishy
but had no issues on WAR/PLD
or DRK for that matter

Wait you’re a tank, you’re supposed to be running dungeons anyway
not sure what this means lol
narrow jay
You also get a guaranteed gear drop specifically for the class you're currently on when you finish a dungeon anyway.
boreal storm
Tanks have fast queues
Faster queues means more runs, more exp, more free gear

ooh, yeah. but again, don't want to make my healer suffer lol

If you're doing your job correctly, they won't.

I have all these materia in my backpack and they're clogging up space, what do i do with them?
boreal storm
Sell them

you can go to a melder and put them on your armor or sell them

Melds aren’t needed until level cap

what did it drops?
vast hinge
the currency can be used to exchange stuff like materia, radiant gear augmentation materials, mounts
plucky jewel
ah i see
vast hinge
IIRC, the marks themselves also have a chance to drop the token
that you use to exchange materia with

As someone who’s never played a FF game so I have no preconceived notions of FF’s typical storytelling, is FFXIV’s story as good as I hear it is?
boreal storm
Hunts trains kinda expect you to be at 90 anyway

this is a really subjective point
so my answer is going to be my personal opinion only
plucky jewel
i have one 90

I think it's a classic case of: something is good, but fanaticism makes it overrated

Story good, but go form your own opinion

as in I think is good, but it certainly has flaws in my eyes

yes, ff14 is my first ff as well

I do agree with the stance that ARR story is really bad
and that it gets much better later on

I’m very excited for shadowbringers

Nice!

I just don't consider FFXIV's story as a complete masterpiece like some is all. without spoiling anything, I will just say I found some elements of the story rather predictable
which in turn made it not as enjoyable to me
frank valve
I’ve seen what the final antagonist looks like, heard the boss music and everyone says it’s their favorite expansion before endwalker so I’m very hyped for SB
vast hinge
hence my "imperfect" evaluation
frank valve
I just don't consider FFXIV's story as a complete masterpiece like some is all. ...
Ahhhh
Well imperfect but still good is alright in my eyes

like it has many good points right

it's just not flawless

Oh definitely

So excited
This is my first MMO and everything’s been so overwhelming but I’ve been having so much fun

#beginner-lounge or #general-discussion for this

if I was to give each expansion a rating out of 10:
ARR: 4.5
HW: 7.5
StB: 6.5
ShB: 8.5
EW: 7.5

Guys, for a Paladin, which is better? Darklight earring of Striking, Maiming or Fending? I have to choose one as a quest reward.
Striking is as follows: Strength +10, vitality +11, critical hit +14, direct hit rate +10
Maiming: Strength +10, vitality +11, critical hit +10, direct hit rate +14
Fending: strength +10, vitality +11, determination +10, tenacity +14
oak lily
tanks use Fending\

yeah im not sure they can even equip the striking or maiming accessories, but then again.. the game doesnt railroad you as hard that early on

Can you only set macro icons to items you own or have at least had in your inventory?

Only major patches get preliminary notes, so you’ll have to wait for the patch maintenance
