guys
which healer use shield+1h and heavy armor? like holy paladin in wow or restro shaman? i wanna be healer but with heavy armor+shield:D
no i wanna tanky healer not tank 😄
And white mage shields do not exist past lvl 50
what dps class is pretty easy late game if there is any?
summoner
All of them
summoner
Summoner
was gonna try smn lol
Where's the picture 👀
you could like
sneeze on your kb
definitely not "all of them"
and it'd work
some jobs are absolutely harder than others
cough black mage
and some jobs have a way lower skill floor than others
But yes, summoner
smn and rpr
i did try dancer a few mins ago cause i unlocked it but i think im dumb or something
Rpr and rdm have to keep an eye on your gauge
yeah i thought
then press the light up stuff
Summoner is summon bahamut/phoenix, use all 3 egis and their skills, repeat
lol
The optimisation on summoner is knowing when to use which egi
But other than that it's pretty braindead
oh and how do you get a class to 15 fast? can you do potd at like lvl 2 or no
Hunting logs
just do your hunting logs and job quests
Or getting a friend to power level you in amh ahreng 
@robust crow knows all about that trick
POTD isn’t too great at the super duper low levels, so better to do some side quests and hunting logs first before jumping in there
are you on aether and how far into the story are you
post arr
I can get you from 1 to 15 in literally 5 minutes
Oh post arr, rip
ok maybe more like 15 minutes if you're only in ARR
Mor dhona?
maybe 20
xd
Ninja is button heavy
ninja presses very many buttons very quickly but is overall one of the easier melee
Honestly, just try all of the classes
Ninjas have one of the most satisfying jump animations with their weapons out
They do a back flip each time they jump
i hate casters but i do love the fact of summoning things so it prob wont work out in the end lol
thats pretty cool
Summoner's are casters in name only
o
It depends on your spell speed
I say 5 only because those spells are longer cast than your average GCD
slipstream is something like a 3 or 3.5s cast
High SPS means you need more filler Ruin 3’s per cycle
oh that delicious 97 hp
I don't think this is quite true because I only play SPS SMN
and I only need one filler ruin 3
before summons are back up
Higher sps shouldn't affect your rotation, because bahamut/phoenix scales with sps too
but you do end up doing more cycles because the baha/Phoenix summon is faster
like it's a 50ish second cycle instead of a 1 minute cycle
I've seen people take screenshots with their retainers but I don't know how to and Google isn't helping, can anyone tell me how it's done?
also what gathering class would you suggest first?
All 
Well miner and botanist
Since they feed into all crafters
Fishers are a whole different ball game
probably scroll lock to remove the ui?
answer to this one is actually "all of them"
except fisher
XDD
as mentioned
They were in an entirely different place so I doubt it
which one would prob be best to do first from miner or botan
then it sounds like a 3rd party tool
doesn't really matter
but I guess you could pick a crafter too
miners would help metalworking crafters more at first
Are you on free trial or paid sub actually?
but in the end you need all of them anyway
pick botanist first because the harvesting sound is nice 
xd
what are the level requirements for the new jobs?
70, as the quests say
rpr in ul'dah and sage in limsa

QQ: Does this mean I only have the remainder of today and tomorrow or does it mean, today plus 2 more days?
2 days from right when you logged in at the start of the free trial
Down to the minute, basically.
Oh. Awesome. Thanks!
last time I played, dps queues were frequently 15+ min. Has this changed?
Nope. DPS always takes longer
alright
Some current content may be a little quicker tho
Nah. Can't. Spent my money on PSN cards only to find out you can't pay the sub through PSN. Thanks though
Damn that sucks
damn, I guess I'm back at square 1 when I played last time and am still unable to pick a job to play
just pick whatever looks cool
then get all of them?
okay final question have they made AST fun again with this expac
fun is subjective
IMO no
alas
I don’t like the current iteration of Lord/Lady, and it forces you to use Lightspeed for your burst window to weave all the needed things.
And Astrodyne’s haste/damage boost feels very marginal and not rewarding enough due to the removal of Redraw charges and Sleeve Draw assuring you a seal you need
I really just want the old card mechanics back, I really enjoyed the decision making of storing/using cards
is anyone else giga lagging rn
I'm getting horrendous ping but my own internet is fine
but whatever, guess that's not coming back
is the white lanner a low chance drop?
All ex mounts are
ah okay, i must've had good luck for the first ones then
so uh I've been using this opener/rotation for my black mage (lv 80). I can rarely get to the first despair before my astral fire timer runs out
you can (and probably should) use the Ley Lines after the first Fire IV instead of the second, but it won't save you that much time
the issue instead is you're likely not properly queueing spells, and instead have some delays between casts as you think about what you have to press
it's important to try to keep your GCD rolling as much as possible
4 instant cast f4s shouldnt take up 15s
well there's also the T3, and the triple is hard clipped
but still, should be a fair bit of leeway normally regardless, even if you end up at base sps
record yourself doing it or post a log
because theoretically it's impossible to fail the opener
so you are doing something wrong
hrm I seemed to struggle matching it in dungeones/fighting trash so I probably havent developed the muscle memory enough
back to the training dummies
almost guaranteed it's what I mentioned
you shouldn't be using single target in trash
well a single target trash pull outside of a dungeon
i'm assuming you mean bosses but yeah
completing the opener fire phase should be consistent
like you should be able to do it 100/100 times if you're doing it correctly
99.9% certain it's just not pressing buttons fast enough, that's pretty much universally the case when the question is asked. Not so much doing something wrong, just not pushing the buttons fast enough
that aside, you won't normally be doing an opener in most situations anyways
in dungeons, between encounters you'll just be spamming umbral soul during downtime, and get to bosses with UI3 + 3 umbral hearts
i was curious so I tested it just now after removing all my gear (2.49 GCD)
so you just T3 -> F3 and do your normal rotation
i had 2 seconds left on AF3 at the first despair
I mentioned already that it's doable at base sps
and that they're almost certainly just pausing between spells
yea but now there's the exact amount of leeway you get
oof 2 seconds of leeway
it'll be different depending on a few factors, notably more leeway with a bit more sps, but yeah
That's the case with all classes
just gotta focus on mashing/queueing your F4 buttons and such, avoiding delays between casts
in guide it says "Soul without Life" you get the crystal in about 2 fates each. But I've been doing about ten to get 1 drop for each zones. Does the class that you choose matter? And does doing it with lv90 jobs will increase the chance?
You're meant to fire off things one after another, not delay as you think about what to press next
@old willow it's rng

how about the class?
out of curiosity i'm gonna see how much leeway you have at full sps
you have to do the fates as the class for the weapon iirc
ive heard somewhere forgot the source, if you did it with lv90 jobs, you get increased chance or something
job level has no effect on drop rate
with the weapon equipped
lemme browse my youtube history
oh
Wrong, 
you dont need job for Anima
I'm thinking of something else then
you just need the quest active
Sounds like some fake news desperius stuff
its atma that requires the weapon
yea it was atma
4 seconds of leeway with full SPS build btw
was it in one of Desperius vid? about lv90 give boosts to your rng
i wonder if it might be because you didn't get leylines out while being at base sps
changed my f4 so hoping I'll get to it faster
you want your f4 in some really accessible spot
since it's a massive chunk of your rotation
well you don't need to mash really at all, can calmly queue it if you'd prefer
but it's more about not having to pause and think about what you need to hit
whos responsible writing this stuffs? it's scam at this point
but sir, mashing makes me feel like I do more dps
Console games wiki?
yes
don't think consolegameswiki says that
Anyone can wrote stuff 
That's not curated
Only that dumb ass would say something like that
I could go in and write that the sahagin beast tribe at rank 12 unlocks dsr
ok yeah I was slow 
yea
I bought a vial of phantasia or whatever it's called, where can I find it?
now just practice it 100 more times and it will work every time like clockwork
ah, checked that. Is it going to take a bit of time?
Character specific items are usually very fast, like within the hour
okay
on the quest page itself
Even if it's approximately 50% chance? Rng can still screw you over
yeah everything on consolegameswiki needs to be taken with
a bucket of salt
I mean, console games wiki has very clear steps for the relic weapons
it has some good general info but fact checking will help
Never really looked at the odds before
We haven't received official drop rates for a lot of things we need to farm. So it's better to be mindful and just expect bad rng
Ironically that drop rate did hold true for me and I got each crystal in 2 fates but. rng is rng
HNGK
I'm currently experiencing some pretty nasty latency issues and was curious how to go about looking at network settings for the game. It's exclusive to FFXIV right now and I play on the standalone launcher so I assume Steam Summer Sale isn't causing it?
You can try checking your latency to server

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Hmm it's above 200ms and I normally get closer to 30-50
Maybe restart your router if you can.
Otherwise it might not be something that you can do anything about.
Likely NA servers struggling
Yeah it's just very odd, like I said I'm having a smooth connection to other games
My own internet is fine + I'm getting constant 200+ms
Ah yes good old server hamsters
There might be a node out somewhere
Ah well, was hoping to do some PvP tonight but absolutely no chance if people are teleporting everywhere
Or like, a bad packet route
I see I'm not alone in having server connection issues. Was taking so long for inputs to register with adds and other players teleporting around.
So NA is just on fire then, got it
Some people are fine while others like I are not having a good time.
thats the ping of oceanic players for years before they added aus server
Is there such a thing as a discord for PoTD/HoH group finding?

Out of curiosity what ISP are you guys using? A lot of my friends with AT&T are all reporting problems
No because PF exists
Hmm it might be their end then, common denominator and all
Good thing I checked anyway because it looks like there is
indecent option
🔔 ding ding guess we found the answer
Hey if i buy endwalker on another ps4 account can i link it to another account thats also on my ps4
Is there a server issue in game? I keep getting like big freezing issues when trying to interact and do stuff and move around. It’s like a weird internet delay
Im teleporting around and other players are too
And my discord was like messing up earlier
I have horrible ping to the Aether server at the moment. Normally it's around 40ms, now it's 200ms.
Interesting
It’s AT&T
I think I’m on that one too
Are there any confirmed sites or sources showing AT&T as having issue?
because everyone that's come in here in the last hour asking about it is on at&t, and people who are not on at&t have had no issues.
can confirm I'm on AT&T
I’m not on AT&T and I’m having issues
Some server routing is fucked too and it’s not my ISP
Do you plan on doing a zodiac weapon?
If no, sell 1-4 on the mb
how do i go for this rank
damn is it the annual AT&T turns to shit for the game for like a month
sad times, wanted to get a few things done before 6.18
Where is a place that a lvl 59 can go to lvl like fates ?
you should be doing dungeons to level
but if you're doing fates to level while waiting for queues, dravanian hinterlands is in your level range
the fringes as well
Yes I a but I have done all my dungeons
wdym
not roulettes
you just run the dungeons again
your actual highest level dungeon
yeah not roulettes
just keep doing em
they give the most exp for your time
the roulette is only once daily and then you spam the highest level non 50/60/70/80/90 dungeon you have access to
3 runs of the level 59 dungeon should give you a level. If queue times are long, you can farm fates in ||Azys Lla|| while you wait
I thought once you don’t them and you can’t get any more ?
only roulettes
are daily
que for the actual dungeon
like the specific dungeon that is level 59ish
you would directly queue for Great Gubal Library in this case
Why does it not show exp when you check them ???
cuz they never do?
I meant goin to the specific dungeon ?
it just doesn't
i will agree showing it would be very helpful
so you can just calculate/anticipate how many runs you need
but for rn it's just 'run the highest level dungeon after your roulettes'
never do 50/60/70/80 dungeons manually (NOT THE ROULETTE, THAT'S FINE) btw they give shit exp
Lol I’m doing that now lol
The guildheist is the worst
I don’t bother that one
That is for very low lvs
Everyone says DC and world doesnt matter. I want to raid but I also enjoy RP. My main MMOs before this have been swg/lotro/TSW/ESO. In the past I have found RP focused servers to be hard to find groups since I play late at night.
I hear crystal is the RP DC but I am leaning towards Primal Ultros.
I have heard some say Ultros can be a bit trollish. Is this still the case?
!faq worldpick
You can play on any world on any datacenter within FFXIV. Aside from the languages spoken, the physical location of the servers, and the status of each world, there are no major differences. This also means population on a given server is quite meaningless.
The majority of content is cross-world, with the exception of Free Companies, Linkshells, and restrictions when visiting other worlds.
If you don't mind where you play, choose a world that is Preferred or New for character creation bonuses. Check world status by using !status <world name> or via the Lodestone. For information about the status types, use !faq worldtype in #kupo-bot-spam.
Notable worlds:
- Balmung & Mateus (Role-playing)
- Tonberry & Kujata (Large amount of Southeast Asian and Oceanic players)
- Moogle (Large amount of French players)
- Shiva (Large amount of German players)
ANY CENSUSES OR WORLD STEREOTYPES BEYOND THIS IS INACCURATE BIAS AND SHOULD NOT BE TAKEN SERIOUSLY
ty
tl;dr ultros is fine
you will not find it hard to find rp in any place tbh but crystal is abundant
but i would pick a dc with a better timezone that is best for you and prioritize that
ffxiv is a massively rp-centric community anyway, plus DC travel is coming in... 2 weeks or so?
Im in Hawaii so its a bit weird. Primal seems to give me best connection
hawaii is pst?
All the NA servers are in the same area
HST
No
^
Yeah, it’s a few hours behind pacific
connection might be placebo or not truly accurate for whatever's displaying it
they are literally in the same room sitting next to eachother
but yeah if you're in hawaii anything's fine
go for crystal, think that's the best pick
DC travel is coming anyway so this issue won't matter
cool. prob for the standard $18?
ya dc has no bearing on ur sub so that's up to u
if u dont' see urself making multiple characters then entry sub is the most money efficient
You might want to check with a new server that is astrailua which might me your option there
Yw
But I suggest you make a toon there before you transfer so you can get an idea
That way you can see where you can pick and select your best option
What's a fast way to lvl up miner? Currently lvl 43
grand company turn-ins give a lot of exp directly proportional to your level, followed by levequests
at 50 - 60 you get access to collectibles as well
I'm trying to get to 50
ya then the first 2 i mentioned are good
i noticed you can type /s for say, is there a similar one for linkshell?
yar, its /l
/l1–l8
For crossworld linkshells it’s cwl1–8
thanks
You can type just the command and then press enter to make that your default chat
yeah :0 i prefer doing it that way instead of clicking which chat i want
trying to do this strange bedfellows quest and it keeps bugging out on this part
i cant kill this guy he keeps living with 1 hp
just keeps saying invalid target
Read the objective
You're supposed to use the key item on him called conqueror's chain.
lol
it just says deal with any enemies that appear
Stone, Sky, Sea
thank you LOL
And as the quest said earlier, put the collar on them
The collar that’s next to the quest objective
To unlock the grand company squadron emotes, do you simply have to do 10 command missions on any dungeon, or do they need to be 10 unique dungeons?
awesome. any idea if stone vigil is still quickest or is totorak better now?
Not sure on that
eh either way its only 5 more runs
stone vigil is quicker than before because they got rid of that dumb cannon gimmick after the second boss
yeah absolutely
if that helps your decision
i never did it with squads during that and i imagine it was a pain
Is the firebird mount grindy/hard to get?
it was fine but the cannon segment just blaoted time
it is grindy, not particularly hard
gotta get all the HW primal mounts
you unsync hard level 60 content
Again EX mounts, it’s just RNG
gotchya
grindy but you can solo almost all of em, get 4+ ppl with you and youll blow em up
ty guys, ill try doing unsynced
if you happen to be on aether i wouldn't mind helpin ya
would do it with a group, far quicker even if you have to distribute birds between you all
nah i aint on aether. i have a friend who is a healer though
Most people already have the birds so like
like 4 - 5 is the sweetspot like nothing said
gotchya
only one thats a bit of a pain that i can think of is bismarck
just cause you cant simply blow him up
indeededly
yeah it's the dumb whale with the timegated mechanics
bismarks nnot too bad
yeah it's fine it's just droll as all hell
that doesn't sound fun lol
not bad at all, just time consuming
main thing is making sure you can burst the suwana
okay sounds good
iirc its always going to be roughly 2mins or so because of the mechanics
ima just get to unlocking all of the extremes then first
reccomend going for ravana first, hes a pretty easy one
👍
Hi
I recently purchased ffxiv starter edition on steam and tried linking it to my free trial square enix service account. My steam store region and the region registered on my service account are different so its not allowing me to register the CD key. Is it possible for me to change my service account region?
no, you can't change your service account region
you'd either need to make a new account or find someone to swap codes with
Unfortunate
I wouldve refunded but refunds arent allowed on the starter version
i've only been playing for a month, but is it common for healers to use rescue to yoink the tank across a map in the middle of a fight?
What's the context? Were you single pulling or positioning the boss wrongly?
i was pulling crowds of trash mobs
sounds like the healer's silent way of telling you to pull more
not ideal, but generally should be pulling wall to wall, esp in higher dungeons
and healer yoinked me to "put me in a better spot to heal"
What dungeon
i was pulling the entirety of every room, plus more, healer could barely keep me alive
if i pulled more we would've wiped
aurum vale
Of course
Aurum Vale is one where you DON'T want more than 2 groups
It also has patrolling mobs, so you can accidentally aggro more packs if you're in their way
generally though, most healers aren't going to randomly rescue you
he was also running ahead and aggroing everything so it's probably a pattern of behaviour
bc i've never had a healer use that on me before
Also if the healer was having trouble keeping heals up, then take it down a notch
i mean after that i started pulling a bit slower but he kept running ahead, i had to pop CDs almost every trash pull it was wild
ok now im just complaining, ty for answer
Errr
You ARE supposed to pop CDs during trash pulls
Never save them for the boss
Yes?
That's how you tank
Pop defensive CDs at the start and keep one up
And other than the first room, you can wall pull the rest of aurum vale
It's just the first room that you have to be more cautious
im just not explaining it properly probably, it was much worse than any av run i've ever done
yup
so my hopes of a real bow/ranged class are possible
For the record. If you have not been doing this as a matter of course all the time while tanking, you have been the one giving your healers a very hard time.
You can and should have a defensive cd up at almost all times during trash pulls
You mean bard
And if you were taking a lot of damage, but not dying, then the healer was doing an excellent job
And if they were running ahead and rescuing you they could clearly handle more
And if you are pulling less than the healer knows they can heal then they're probably gonna pull more for you.
Don’t take the fact they are letting your hp drop very low as evidence they “can’t handle anymore”
That means they’re being very efficient with their heals
W2W is the norm, as a tank you don't set the pace, but the group as a whole does.
And you can definitely pull more than two groups in Aurum Vale
Aurum first room was nerfed recently
Was it?
In new aurum it isn't an issue.
Oooo
Maybe I haven't been thrown into aurum Vale since the change
That's good to hear though
ok I didn't want to drag this out but since you're the second person, what I mean is, every pull I had to pop every single cd I had to stay alive
there's is no way that's normal
Stacking cooldowns?
That is fairly normal
usually storms path plus an early CD is fine
Means the pulls were taking a bit too long due to low dps
But that’s not an uncommon situation
ok
casual playerbase after all 
And since you don’t need any cds for bosses
It should be a manageable issue
Regardless sounds like a problem with the dps not the healers
Remember big pulls are a much bigger effort for the healer than they are for the tank
And if you weren’t dying despite pulls being large and taking too long, you had a good healer
Using rescue to make you come forward isn’t the most polite way of going about it but it can be understandable
does food buffs and meds still gives stats boost at older raids like bahamut or alexander if we go in with synced max ilvl?
the 4 casts of rescue make me think otherwise lmao
That has nothing to do with how good the healer is
ye
Just means they were impatient
griefing makes a player bad imo
That’s not griefing
he was rescuing me into packs
It’s slightly impolite but no way is that griefing
and away from bosses
?
melds are disabled if the item is above the sync'd ilvl
food however is never sync'd down
Away from bosses?
There's no time they could rescue you away from a boss into packs of mobs.
twice in trash rooms, once in cyclops, once in the malboro at the end
not into mobs in the boss rooms, in the trash rooms
There aren't bosses in the trash rooms
sigh
You have to beat the trash to get to bosses.... you can't skip them
ok
listen
in the trash rooms, I was pulled from one pack of 8 into another medium pack
in the boss rooms I was pulled away from the boss, out of melee range
they mean that they were being pulled into packs and were getting pulled away from bosses
seperately, not both in one rescue
two separate instances of rescue being used, neither for good reason
Ah makes more sense
except the healer had run ahead into the other pack he was pulling me into
Yes
That’s why orally understandable for a healer to do if they feel you’re too slow
More polite to ask you to pull more
except it was not slow
It was slow
I was pulling a ton and he could barely keep up
If the healer could handle more then you were too slow
It is not griefing to rescue you into more trash.
Anyways, your question was answered.
Hey look, we’ve already been over this
sounds p griefy to me but idk
better spot to heal?
almost
blur name but
their reason is awful
ok
You didn't die. They were a good healer.
The only hp that matters is the last one
You were pulling too little for their liking
I've run that dungeon a ton, and never been yoinked and never gone lower than that
yet in the screen shot he complained about how much I was pulling
healing rule in this game is as long as it's not 0 it's all good
If your hp went super low, but you didn’t die, that’s how you know the healer was good
That’s how it works.
Bear in mind, that healers who cure 1 spam to keep you topped up all the time are bad
still the complaint about me pulling to much
The healer was healing efficiently.
lyon
their reason wasnt tank being slow
their reason was out of range of heals
If the healer was running ahead and pulling more and then pulling you into it
take care everyone I'm going to do something else
It just sounds like poor communication of what they were doing
definitely could use communication ye 
Because that’s quite clearly just pushing for bigger pulls
It's aurum vale
Just dumb way to explain it lol
Non drama, smooth aurum Vale runs are a rarity
Anyway question answered, let’s move along
My crap DF luck regardless
what is this?
cool
just a quick question anyone, does having properly melded ilvl 600 gear make a difference on lower tier synced content?
Sync ignores materia
it'll cap out the substats of lower level duites yeah
at least up to e7
so, would an ilvl 580 perform the same as an ilvl 600 on say, a1s, since it's synced?
When gear is item level synced, melds are ignored and built-in stats are instead capped at the stat cap for the synced item level. For substats, this is the higher substat on an HQ, dungeon, tome, or raid gear piece of the same type at that item level.
For example, accessories at i475 naturally have 88 as the high substat, so any accessory above i475 will have both substats capped at 88 when synced to i475. Substats are NOT scaled up, only capped.
i600 synced to i475:
Substat A: 127 -> 88 (max 88)
Substat B: 89 -> 88 (max 88)
Note that in some cases this is slightly worse (for parsing purposes) than using a melded item from the same tier as the content was originally released, but the slots in which non-synced gear is still preferred will depend on the content, the job, and the gear.
oh coolio, thanks much ^^
any one can help me with this
Would help to know with what
the " Lonely Giant" sightseeing log and i am in the correct spot and weather but i can see the giant but i cant seems to hit the spot that would say i have vista
i have been pacing back and forth in the area to find it
according to the cheat link i got from the web said it should be easy
Just use the guides man
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Sightseeing_Log:_The_Lonely_Giant
i just did it and i was pacing to find the spot
reason i pace carefully so i can find the correct spot
but i did find one thing that was different from the picture on another location and i am thinking the spot may differ on the console when it was done on pc
Again use the guides from gamerscape, as they know what they’re doing
im using that oo
too ^
no luck but im going to keep trying till i hit the spot correctly
Dude, the page has exact coordinates. If the vista isn’t there, the conditions aren’t being met and you gotta try again later
Well that’s literally all there is to it
Unless you have another question, it’s not relevant to keep talking about in this channel
which job has the highest damage dps at lvl 50 sync?
uh... NIN/RDM probably?
Dancer ?
SAM & MCH should do ok too
SAM at 50 is garbo
There isnt really enough hard content at 50 thats still done now
the answers are very different lol
Especially after the stat changes
let me put it this way
For a clear answer
Because theres a ultimate
SMN at 50 doesn't have bahamut
which means there's no chance they're going to perform as well
Diving back in and wondering if its ok to re-roll or if there is any reason to use my old toon from many years ago. I know sometimes older toons get Anniversary gifts or something in other MMOs.
Correctly solving mechanics generally matters alot more then damage differences between jobs
I don't think coil really have a dps check?
You may have some old event items that aren't obtainable but veteran rewards are account-wide
You may not be able to get old event rewards you already have
^ if dps is an actual problem in synched coils then there's someone not doing their rotation
ty
Also you have to play thrpugh the story again
reminds me of myself when I was lvl 50
I was a DRG that melded skill speed into everything
eh
Then choosing better dps classes wont help
well if they don't do their rotation they can just feck off 
maybe someone should pick up RDM, pretty hard to go wrong there
Well
any plugins that happen to help with finding your elite marks for hunts every week
If they dont wanna learn
Then either you leave
Or kick them
Or push theough it
Its the age old raid problem
I assumed this was a group of friends if you're doing synched coils
but yeah if this is randos
what flora said
Like
Talk to them
Explain the problem
And if they are your friends
And dont care
Then thats how it is
it's basically over 
You could also try and teach them their classes
But from experience
That usually ends very bad
One of the hardest things is finding people to play with your mentality and skill level
Pretty much
I'd just just unsync it later when you all higher level if they wanna just have fun
my static mates are all roughly the same skill level and we work through problems together
love my static 
coils doesn't have normal mode like later expacs so it's either serious with synced or chilling with unsync
is reaper good at lvl 50 though? i feels like he lacked core mechanics at lvl50 but i saw someone says his stats are busted at low level
it does good dmg but boring as hell I'd say
You could also do unsynced but nobody presses skills just autos and mechanics
but that's most jobs at 50
is there any macro for summoning rabbits one by one as arcanist?
reaper has all of 5 buttons to press in 50 rotation but yeah, still pretty good
What do you mean by summoning them
y
You have your own ruby topas emerald phases
But you shouldnt makro your rotation
In this game
no i mean making macro and pressing just 1 button to spam them step by step
No
first wind later earth and fire
No, the macro system is deliberately crap in that respect
In this game
Right so I've gotten to the point in the game where all I have to do is grind for BIS. I've got 600 hours in the game, and every single second of it has been on WAR. I don't really feel like grinding for BIS as a new one will probably appear anyway in a couple of months here, so I'd like something alternative to do. Here's a few ideas I've come up with.
- Hunt all Elite Marks
- Become an Omni-Crafter
- Level a different class
Any other ideas of what I should do? Any recommendations or votes out of the current choices?
Do what you want
Bozja/Eureka/relic weapons/potd/hoh
I don't know what I want that's the problem
So just do things then. Anything
pick one at random 
I've done every single blue quest available in the game aside from bozja
Available on WAR at least
am i right or starting zones change by classes right not by race?
by classes yes
Yep by classes
hmm nice
How long do you guys think it would take to max level all DoH/DoL jobs?
So no matter the race, all conjures start in Gridania for example
Try healer? You will be at a different perspective looking at tanks when you play healer
done all the endwalker extreme trials? even if you aren't going for BiS from savage, still might be fun to test your mettle with harder content
Have you tried raiding ?
if you don't grind to death I'd say like 2-3 weeks
Or pvp
I have. Don't have a static. Fresh Progging is a pain. No thanks.
that's pretty fair 
I'd rather do something more productive than try and beat one raid for 1 or 2 pieces of equipment that I may or may not get and will no longer be BIS in a few months.
speed of DoL/DoH levelling is really just a matter of how much money you're willing to dump into it
I think either doh/dol or level another job
If you really put your nose to the grindstone, a few days. I don’t recommend it however. Take your time and do dailies and stuff. 2-3 weeks, as mentioned earlier, is much more reasonable if you pace yourself.
experience dps or healer for the first time would be a nice experience
Well id say its more for the experience/mount
Then for pushing bis
Bis only matters for log runs and dsr anyway
Also you could look into finding a static
I read the housing districts are changing. How does that affect the current bought plots?
It has nothing to do with getting gear, you do it because beating content while its current is its own reward
I'm looking for a combo key for my 3rd hotbar since CTRL feels awkward. Shift is taken; any ideas?
alt is there or you could go for QERFGVB
do you buttons besides your mouse?
if you already own a plot in a revised area nothing will change
buttons around WASD are very nice
i see thanks
my extra mouse buttons cant be pressed with others for some reason
unless you set mouse buttons to be the modifier key for FF14 you can't use it as a modifier yeah
might be worth getting a new mouse then 
@craggy radish you can also just stop playing and return later when theres more stuff you like
how can you set it as a modifier key?
my 3rd and 4th bar are side button modifiers, it's so comfy
well essentially making it take place of alt, shift or ctrl
I'm so happy I play controller
you can just use QERFGVBZX as keybinds instead
me too, but im not as happy when i play healers
I mean, they exist, but they seem to be unable to get combined with other keys for some reason (it shows up as Mouse3-5 in FFXIV)
i already have those set, but I'm looking for modifier keys for a 3rd hotbar
I'd recommend this: instead of using whatever unique key the mouse is set to (like M4 or M5) go into your mouse software and set the buttons to ctrl & alt
controller with fisher is
It's actually nowhere near as hard as I thought it would be tbh, I main heals too
i feel like i get a buff when i play dps using controllers, but a debuff when i play it with healers
what is this class:D
hitting positionals with controllers is much smoother than on keyboard
a laser healer
oh
i could go apeshit 360 turn no stop on dps using controller
you do you
Your mileage may vary, I guess. Probably why there isn't a universally "better" control scheme for this
popular jobs for a reason
which classeses are popular?:D
yeah, I'm just grateful that the people who enjoy controller have such a good system to work with
before ffxiv I assumed that no tab target mmo could ever work on controller
Can I do guildhests unsynced?
No
what about with a party of blue mages?
if its classes, its dps, if its job, its white mages
Dude don’t give false info
uhhhhhhhhhhhh
oh white mages?
Literally every job is used by someone, popularity isn’t a thing
meh i love playing healer but at ff14 red mages look best class:D sword mages i love them
yeah, parses
That's not representative of the player base.
Also it's inaccurate because you can literally swap your job anytime due to the armour system.
yeah, but it did shows the popularity at higher end content
we dont have any stats other than that though
Which nobody asked about
also isn't that like jobs with most parse and not how many parse with it
anyway game's balanced so everyone play everything
it comes down to preferences
There’s less healer and tank jobs compared to DPS
So while WHM may be very popular, there’s simply less choices compared to choosing a DPS class
parsing isnt a really good indicator because the amount of people parsing isn't as high as you may think it is
4 tanks/4 healers/ 12 DPS
yes, thats why i signify dps first
It's just circumstantial observation, but I see a lot of RDM, DNC, SGE, & RPR in roulette & duty finder
on the whole though it all balances out, there's certainly no drastically underused job
hmm not sure about sage and reaper but red mage and dancer rly look cool thats why
yeah they're both really fun to play and are pretty straightforward to learn
sage and reaper are shiny and new
that is why you'll still probably see a tad more of them
indeed
Can you shrink the resistance rank window? don't remember it being so big
Right click> window size
thank you kindly
do i really need all radiant gear for lv 90 contents or just augmented classical gear is enough
Augmented classical is enough
anyone on primal want to help me kill nidhogg/thordan extreme for half an hour or so?
unsynced
Use partyfinder, this isn't the place for this kind of help
ah okay my bad 👍
Also it’s really late in NA
mhm i know
It is literally between 1 to 4 am
Please go to bed even if it's a weekend /shot
You'll probably have a decent chance cause it is a weekend night tho so
1 over here, im just trying to get the rest of the birds because im really close to the firebird now
hey guys any1 free to help set my ACT? it all up and runing but im looking for other stats than shown ( DPS for parse/total DPS and/ and total dmg overall )
it curently only shows my parse dps and some other junk
in what preset?
It also depends on what overlay you're using
ill check it
if you want help with overlays and other stuff, maybe ask on the ACT discord?
is there a way to keybind the FATE sync level button?
is all the rpr class quest in ul'dahl where i received the class ?
or maybe make it press on its own
for the most part yes
cool ty
You go to a HW area at the end, so if you haven’t unlocked it…
Best you can realistically do is make a macro for it. /lsync is the text command
that's awesome, thanks
just to confirm im reading this wiki correctly. the armory bonus is such that if i have say a level 60, a level 59, and a level 1, the level 59 and the level 1 will both get 100% bonus exp?
correct
Is there a glam help channel?
Thanks
Can you enter housing lotteries if you already have a house
to relocate
yes, choose the relocate option
Oh nice
So I can enter this housing lottery and even if I win I'm not stuck with the house or anything
if you don't claim, you're losing gil
half the price so you should consider that
Yeah I'll take it
It's the only house in the server and will probably have 100 people trying for it so unlikely
How long do you guys recon it'll take me to fully level a BLM vs a Botanist
botanist should be way faster
the moment you can do collectables, it's just getting faster and faster, not to mention we have leves
But why those 2 ?
Regarding glamours, let's say you are wearing gear for a botanist but want to look like a BLM. Is that possible? To glamour BLM gear over botanist gear?
wym?
retainers
Ah
the pre-50 caster gear is all-class, so you can use some of that stuff
no, BLM gear is almost job exclusive or at least caster dps
but that's it, basically.
You would need to find job-agnostic gear that looks fitting for a BLM.
Damn, the Bonewicca Whisperer's Mask would look badass on my retainer
Too bad both of em cant have it
oh well
Don't mind my seemingly random train of thought here
In your opinion, who would you rather play? Who would you rather see in your team? Scholar vs Astrologian?
You're comparing a shield healer to a regen/throughput healer, so it's not a totally fair comparison in that aspect.
Personally I don't mind either in my extreme trial farm parties, but I generally like Astrologian due to stronger party buffs.
Yeah, Expedient is a godsend when the whole party needs to move fast for mechanics, like the quadruple planet explosion thing in the 6.1 Extreme trial
Despite the fact that this is more a #general-discussion question ... funnily enough, SCH/AST was the most common Healer combination for the DSR Ultimate race. So the answer seems to have been "both".
where can I find a macro for the lvl 80expert recipees in ishgard restoration? can't find it nowehere, even Teamcraft ( I am crafter bis)
I found this one on the balance discord https://ffxivteamcraft.com/simulator/36325/34617/SVSA2K3XVsfyjPMvatZG
That's the link I was given when I asked the same question
for the rotation I linked
ty <3!
👍
this dungeon system kinda weirdl ol:D
It is different, yes. Please don't clutter the help desk channel with general commentary, though.
I need 3 mil xp (1/3rd of bar) to lvl 89, what's the fastest way
run level 87 dungeon
or do roulette if you haven't today
or do daily arkosodara quests
set that linkshell to your default chat
Which roulette? Any? I never do them so they're all ready
same effect as typing /l1 in chat
Hoping trial will suffice
Leveling
You should be doing your roulettes daily for huge exp
yea levelling will be best
It does not change my chat though
the good exp roulettes are Leveling, Alliance Raid, Main Scenario, and Frontline
when im activating a LS with right clicking option, my chat still stays "say"
Trial roulette is ok for the shorter amount of time it takes
Hm, seems like it just makes it the default linkshell that shows when you open the linkshell window
Also noticed you cannot change the number order of Linkshells but you can on cross world linkshells
I only want that 1/3 of the bar to continue msq
somewhat useless function
I never do roulettes bc I am still on my first job
Trial roulette may not get you there, all the others mentioned definitely will
Well got to suck it up and do one ty guys
has someone ever counted how many minutes the cutscene in porta decumana is?
i think its 20 mins now?
not exact but thats how long i remember doing it
So I need mnk button help, What's the hotbar replacement for "The Forbidden Chakra?"
ah, thanks
Where do I get lvl 80 tomes gear
Eulmore or crstrarium from the special vendor by the aetheryte
when you log in you just get a prompt if you want to be a returner
oh wait the campaign or the temporary status?
returner status:
Players who have not played the game in 45 days or more, and have at least one class or job at level 50 or above, will now receive the Returner status icon1.png Returner status.
Players who receive the Returner status are eligible to accept the Returner's Bounty, which consists of the following:
Access to the Novice Network. An EXP bonus when partying with a Mentor up to level 20. The Returner online status icon.Player search can now be used to find players who have set their online status to Returner.
the campaign needs you to manually invite a friend who's been out for 90 days, whenever it happens
not sure if it's up rn
is the alphascrape soloable by now?
Savage no
i guess the mechanics makes it a hassle
And you don't have the dps
I am confused. The crafting tutorial said something about how a touch option always decreases condition to poor but it... doesn't? It just fluctuates and that's it.
did I not understand something?
Using any action decreases durability
Condition will only go to poor after an Excellent
And you can't have 2 special conditions back to back
whats the difference between the hunting boards at the grand company and in ishgard?
the one in ishgard is for hw.
each expac has its own board, catering to the zones of that expac
Eh ... Life of a dragon only had 20 second soo i am guessing we are only expected to get to do two Nastrond ? At lvl 74 dragoon atm
3
that's 78
oh sorry yeah
wait life is only 20s at 70?
at that level only 2, yes
If I understood stuff correctly, Craftsmanship increases the amount of progress gained and control increases the quality points gained?
or am I confusing something?
Correct
I was told you could buy Crysta with prepaid/gift cards but it won't process my order. Is it worth going to support or are they likely to just send me in circles between them and visa?
Is there a stat that increases CP or does that happen with leveling up?
Is it just called CP?
Yes
also do tools influence it or armor or both?
I think you have to increase CP with accessories
oh, I see
tools have their own stats
Typically accessories have the large brunt of it
yeah you'd rely on it for CP
And you meld CP into other pieces
What accessories have cp for example?
Any crafter accessories
Also what do you mean "meld cp into other pieces"? Is there a materia for that, and if so how do I obtain it?
yes, theres crafting materia
and the best way to get them is primarily scrips, which is unlocked later
ah
what are crafter accessories?
same as combat accs
what are combat accs lol?
