[faint flare]

When in umbral ice 3

The next fire spell is free

The fire 2 when swapping costs 0

Then the next 2 fires are 3k each, for the 6k spent

[jolly sorrel]

B2, Freeze, T2 (9600), F2 free (9600), F2 (6600), F2 (3600), F2 (600), can't cast Flare.
Or am I misreading?

[faint flare]

You're miss reading, cause only 3 F2s are listed

Not 4

[jolly sorrel]

https://i.imgur.com/vX4lxfe.png
I'm reading 4 F2's though

[faint flare]

Then just get the mana tick from umbral ice before swapping

Do thunder first then freeze to guarantee it

[jolly sorrel]

Riiiiiight, I see. That makes sense.

So that rotation only works if the ticks happen to align, but reversing T2 and Freeze makes it work all the time

[dusk trail]

jesus how many mechanics do EX bosses have 😵‍💫

[faint flare]

Barely any these days

1 or 2

Anything else is basic "dodge shit" or "stack here"

[dusk trail]

well just watching the video for tsukuyomi ex is making my head spin

[faint flare]

There's only 1 mechanic in Tsuko which is Seleomancy phase

Which you can skip with good dps

Even then it's just place the meteors in the right spot

And swap your debuff

[cursive ridge]

is there a point in ever using Patience 1 as FSH? Patience 2 seems to just be the much better version

[obsidian patio]

Better if you need to save GP for other things

[dusk trail]

uhm, where can I get the quests for ARR ex trials? Some of the quest givers are... not where the wiki says they should be

I am assuming this is for story reasons

[faint flare]

The exs for ifirit titan and Garuda need to be done in order

The rest should just be there

[dusk trail]

cannot find the one for ifrit

[faint flare]

Cause you need to do Garuda and titan ex first

Again, they need to be in order

[dusk trail]

ah I thought you meant ifrit was first

mb

[faint flare]

Iirc like Garuda, titan and ifirit

[dusk trail]

okay I have no chance at all whatsoever of soloing the navel ex lol

[oak lily]

What level are you?

[dusk trail]

71

[oak lily]

Job?

[dusk trail]

RPR

[oak lily]

Yeah, that’s a bit rough

[dusk trail]

I have a 65 PLD and a 71 GNB as well

do I have a chance with those to farm for kirin?

provided I level the PLD a bit

[oak lily]

The hard part is the gaols giving a damage down

[dusk trail]

oh okay

[oak lily]

Do you have smn leveled

That’s usually what I use

[dusk trail]

no neither do I wanna do that. I'm okay grouping up

I'll just look for people who want to farm kirin if such a person still exists. I'd instead go for the SB ex trials but I am only level 70 so

that's like intended level

would not be of use

[oak lily]

Just spend some time leveling

Horses aren’t going anywhere

[west bridge]

just finished the hw relic for war and wanted to do the one for drk as well. altough why are there so many choices? i cant just do the last step, can i?

[oak lily]

Soul without Life

you can't do steps if you don't have the pre-req

[plush hound]

No, you do have to do it from the start of the chain. The list is there if you abandon a step and need to pick it up again.

[fading pier]

They just list all of the individual quests as such after you finish your first relic.

[west bridge]

ah okay

[flint skiff]

So i forgot my Enix ID. I tried the "I forgot" option and it only helped me change the password through email. I still dont remember my ID...lol

Advice? 🙈

[alpine shadow]

you should have recieved your id in your email, no?

[flint skiff]

Nope. It didnt show anywhere in the email

[alpine shadow]

or atleast when you click on the reset link, it should have?

[flint skiff]

Also no 🥲

I'll try the forgot option again, see if it shows anywhere this time.

[alpine shadow]

ah well, you can still just login with your email

[flint skiff]

I can?

[alpine shadow]

yeah

[flint skiff]

It stops halfway through typing in my email under the ID box

[alpine shadow]

in the launcher?

[ocean hornet]

Through steam?

[alpine shadow]

steam??

[ocean hornet]

In logged in earlier with wrong login and had to email steam to unlink that account as it don’t have a serial key with it

[flint skiff]

Okay it finally let me access the account page lol I see the ID now

[leaden ginkgo]

Heya

[ocean hornet]

Hi

[flint skiff]

Sorry haha thanks you all ❤

[alpine shadow]

no worries, atleast you managed to login

[flint skiff]

Finally 😁

[fading pier]

Stand outside limsa for longer than 3 minutes and you'll get an invite lmao

[west bridge]

wait... why cant i put my relic wep into glamour dresser??

[dire prawn]

I has question

[oak lily]

once custom stats are applied you can't put them in anymore

you need a replica

[dire prawn]

I'm doing one of those raise macros that puts text in the party chat with a sound effect whenever you cast raise on somebody

How do I include my target's name in the text?

[faint flare]

Add <t> to the message

[dire prawn]

That's it?

[fading pier]

Yup

That easy

I clast glare on <t> 's dead corpse

[jolly sorrel]

Does MSQ roulette keep up vs Bozja for exp?

[carmine fossil]

msq roulette is very good

bozja also doesnt scale past 80

[fading pier]

I think bozja is the fastest overall for 71-80

[carmine fossil]

so if you're past 80 msq roulette is 100% worth doing

if you're in 71-80 then maybe just do bozja

[fading pier]

Mhm

Also Tribal Quests

3m exp for your 80 jobs in like 5 mins

[outer mural]

it doesn't scale hard past 80 but it is still exceptionally good for what it is

[jolly sorrel]

Which tribal quests? Or it doesnt matter?

[carmine fossil]

pixie

for 70-80

[jolly sorrel]

Right, so highest possible for the job

[carmine fossil]

and arkasadora for 80-90

do both though if you're 80+

[jolly sorrel]

Yush

Entered Zadnor, I'm the only one here. Did I stumble into a dead instance or is it mostly solo work these days?

[fading pier]

Could be a new instance.

[astral badge]

For the past few weeks Ive been having disconnection issues with ff14. Its tends to happen multiple times to a point where its unplayable. The error code im getting is either 90002 or 90000

[fading pier]

Zadnor has been pretty active in my experience.

[jolly sorrel]

Okay, justbad luck then. Thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

how do you summon other varieties of Carbuncle outside of Combat?

[boreal storm]

You egiglam carbuncle

[leaden ginkgo]

huh, neat, I thought it was just something Summoners could do or something, but didn't see the option after getting the stone.

thanks

[boreal storm]

It’s a lvl 50 quest

[leaden ginkgo]

you have to do a level 50 quest to unlock egiglams?

[astral badge]

Whats the difference between 90000, 90001, 90002?

Ive been dc'd 5 times in 20 minutes and the error codes keep changing between those 3

[fading pier]

Those are typically the "Weak Internet Connection" error codes.

[hidden garnet]

so u cant glamour relics untli u get replicas?

[fading pier]

You can glamour your relic at any stage.

[boreal storm]

You can’t put them in the dresser no

[astral badge]

Is there a way I can fix it though? I have 2 other mmorgs open rn and they havent had any issue with connection

[hidden garnet]

i mean i cant make other weapon look like em

[fading pier]

Have you tried running XIV on it's own?

[astral badge]

Yeah. I only have the other mmos open to test whether its my internet or a client issue

[fading pier]

Well, there's no widespread connection issues with the client rn to my knowledge.

[astral badge]

Damn

[faint flare]

90k is general connection stuff

[astral badge]

Idk what else to do, i havent been able to play for the past few days

[ocean sonnet]

Is Blue Mage limited to lvl 60 too during FT?

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[jade quartz]

VPN basically, or you could try contacting your ISP

Issue is likely with the route between you and the servers

[astral badge]

Im just confused on why this only effects ff14, never really had issues with my internet, might have to get a new ethernet or something idk

[tulip python]

you can ping the server and see what it looks like

reboot your modem/router if you haven't yet

[jade quartz]

If it’s a routing issue it’s due to the specific location of the servers relative to you, and the route along which your isp sends you to get there

New Ethernet isn’t going to have an effect

[astral badge]

Shiiit

[jade quartz]

You can do a traceroute check to maybe find out more details about where the issue is

[tulip python]

^

[ocean sonnet]

Are Gilgamesh battles in roulettes?

[jade quartz]

Yes, trials Roulette

[ocean sonnet]

Ok thanks, then I guess I can't find anyone cause of the time

[jade quartz]

Some people also don’t have them unlocked so they won’t get matched into them despite queuing for trial roulette

[ocean sonnet]

Oof

[fading pier]

You could always unsync them if you just want to finish the hildy quests.

[ocean sonnet]

Can't start PF cause I'm in FT 😢

[boreal storm]

Like we said yesterday, ask someone to help

[silk dragon]

Any tips for weaver class

[tulip python]

bob & weave

[silk dragon]

Like is there certain gear I should wear for best benefits

[boreal storm]

Just wear the best gear you can

[obsidian patio]

Craftsmanship/Control/CP are your crafting stats

Don’t wear anything that doesn’t have one of those

[silk dragon]

I only got the robe that the guildmaster gave me thats it

Is there any gear that I could rn

I barely starte

d

[obsidian patio]

Look at your crafting log to see if there’s gear you can make yourself, or just buy gear from NPCs

[boreal storm]

You still need gatherers to actually get anything past lvl 15

[obsidian patio]

Leatherworker, Weaver, and Goldsmith are the main producers of crafting gear

[silk dragon]

I need to level up gatherer as well in order to get materials to craft better stuff as a weaver?

[boreal storm]

Yes, everything is connected

[obsidian patio]

If you want to be self-sufficient, yes.

[silk dragon]

I dont see gatherer in the list

[obsidian patio]

Miner, Botanist, and Fisher

[silk dragon]

Oh okay

U think its smarter / better to start on those first?

[obsidian patio]

IMO yes

Gatherers can rely just fine on NPC bought gear most of the time

And you can sell off excess materials to recoup the Gil spent on Gear

[silk dragon]

Alright thanks for the help

[leaden ginkgo]

the next savage floors are in 6.2 ?

[oak lily]

yes

[leaden ginkgo]

how far is that?

[faint flare]

August

[leaden ginkgo]

good

[weak kernel]

Hello

difference between t6-t9 and savage?

[outer mural]

savage is the harder version of a normal fight

generally considered the relatively 'hardcore' edition so it's not just something you walk into and just do

[oak lily]

T9 is already kinda bullshit anyways

[boreal storm]

Coils is already savage level, so take that as you will

[weak kernel]

I know but i read that isn't a great difference as normal raids and savage version

[oak lily]

"You want savage with your savage?"

[weak kernel]

Maybe is "tricky" read (savage) of a savage fight

[oak lily]

all I know is its more bullshit

[weak kernel]

compared with eden or current tier, what harder is?

[oak lily]

P1S and P2S are pretty easy

I haven't gone further myself

[boreal storm]

Obviously the last 2 fights jump up
It’s a normal thing with savages

[fading pier]

P1S is a glorified training dummy.

P2S has some scary moments.

P3S is the wall.

[boreal storm]

But like. Different mechanics, different skillsets. The fact that Eden lets you have i530, while we won’t have that equivalent until 6.4

[weak kernel]

I misspelled my question

Eden and pande compared with coils

[oak lily]

Coils

[weak kernel]

I've done promise and pande

[oak lily]

if MINE

[weak kernel]

but not coils

Yes, coils mine

[oak lily]

Coils then

I assume

[weak kernel]

https://tenor.com/view/gorbeljin-gorb-dead-play-dead-ffxiv-gif-19276709

[faint flare]

Coils was made before they even knew what difficulty they wanted their fights to be

They didn't settle on the difficulty formula until Creator

[lone ravine]

Is the ||eden quest raid line Worth it|| seems cool

[oak lily]

Yes

[warm snow]

The two previous Alexander tiers were so fucky and overtuned, combined with generally how gearing and cooldowns worked, that it almost killed ff14 raiding

[lone ravine]

Not doing alex anytime soon

[lone ravine]

Alr👍

[fading pier]

It doesn't matter now anyway.

[warm snow]

That's specifically the savage

[fading pier]

Even in MiNE

We're overtuned compared to 2015

[warm snow]

A8s mine is still suffering

And there's not even a death wall for resetting

[worn crag]

can i do anything with abilities for my lost holster that i have too many of?

i have like 90 bubble and it's only growing

[faint flare]

Not really

They're junk and not worth using really

I just have fucking capped 255 lost focus and deaths, but at least death is useful for farming star mobs

[warm snow]

Sell the fragments ig once you have the earring

[worn crag]

idk why it's giving me so many bubbles

im literally

not getting anything else

[warm snow]

That said they're only worth one gil each

[faint flare]

I'm pretty sure that fragment only has Bubble in it

[worn crag]

i know

... why

[faint flare]

It literally tells you what it has

[warm snow]

Yup

[worn crag]

i do not need this many bubbles

[faint flare]

If you read the fragment description

[warm snow]

Bubble sucks anyways

[jovial quarry]

Zadnor loves bubbles. Just sell them for gil instead of decrypting, once you get the earring.

[worn crag]

earring?

[obsidian patio]

!iglam Bozjan earring

**Bozjan Earring** **:** Earrings

[faint flare]

The bojza earrings

[obsidian patio]

I should’ve done the other command

[faint flare]

Exp earrings for 71-80

[obsidian patio]

And faster GCD when in bozja

[outer mural]

tssk tssk

[faint flare]

Appraise 1k skills for it as an achievement

[outer mural]

earring does not apply to exp inside bozja funnily enough

it only applies to dungeon and overworld mob exp

[warm snow]

It's a knock off aetheryte earring

[worn crag]

where can i find bozja achievements

[warm snow]

Battle

Field operations

[faint flare]

Battle > field

[warm snow]

Get gunnhildr's blade title or no balls

[outer mural]

[worn crag]

im at 302

[warm snow]

The keep appraising those bubbles til you get the earring

Then dump em

[obsidian patio]

Yeah bubble fragments should be DIRT cheap

Might also want to check other fragments for relative cheapness with skills you want more of

[faint flare]

I just got it naturally via farming fragments for skills that are used

[worn crag]

i just want more cure and shit

[faint flare]

Why useless cure

Fucking useless

[worn crag]

any of the cures

[warm snow]

Only useful cure is iv

[faint flare]

All useless

[warm snow]

And that's for drs

[worn crag]

i like to live

[warm snow]

Use beast

[remote lintel]

just use the hp leech potion?

[faint flare]

Then use resistance potions

[warm snow]

Or play healer

[faint flare]

Or beast

[warm snow]

Or bloodsucker

[obsidian patio]

Cure 2 is strictly better than cure 1

Same thing for cure 4 being better than cure 3

[warm snow]

Or just be a warrior lol

[faint flare]

There's so much free sustain that doesn't take a valuable action slot

[worn crag]

im playing sage rn

[warm snow]

Beast basically gives you permanent bloodbath

[faint flare]

It'd action

[worn crag]

because i want the levels

[obsidian patio]

You can’t use the cure actions as a healer

[warm snow]

Then heal yourself???

[worn crag]

yes but when i play other classes it is quite easy to die

[remote lintel]

thats why you use

the beast essence

[warm snow]

Then use beast

[faint flare]

Or just don't get hit by easy to dodge mechanics

[outer mural]

beast + assassinate is the go-to for melee / ranged

shit is NUTS

[worn crag]

which essence is even good on healer? templar?

[faint flare]

Aetherweaver

[outer mural]

aetherweaver for standard is pretty pogged out

[obsidian patio]

Aetherweaver is your general go-to

[warm snow]

If you're getting bubble, you're in Zadnor, if you're in Zadnor you've done cll, if you've done cll you should have at least one beast

[faint flare]

Profane is full green dps mode

[warm snow]

Remember, shit can't hurt you if it's dead

[outer mural]

profaned / the other one i can't remember that makes you super frail as tank aren't really worth unless you know exactly what you're doing btw

maybe if you're solo profaned that's fine

[faint flare]

I miss irregular runs

[fossil trench]

Beast + assassinate is soooo goooood

An immortal, crit spamming machinist

[warm snow]

I hit 10/10/10 so I'm basically immortal

:p

[drifting lynx]

New player, is it because of my attributes/gears that i'm getting destroyed in dungeon lvl 47 The Aurum Vale as a Tank? 😦

[obsidian patio]

You need better gear

[potent hazel]

yes

[faint flare]

Do your God.damn job quests

[obsidian patio]

You’re about 15 item level below the dungeon

[drifting lynx]

What are they ?!

[faint flare]

They gave you lv45 gear for your left side minus chest piece

[obsidian patio]

And yes, you need to do your job quests. You’re not a warrior

[faint flare]

You're literally griefing groups right now

Surprised you haven't been kicked

They're MANDATORY to unlock skills

Like Tomahawk

And all your warrior kit

[drifting lynx]

Okay, so i need to focus more on the quest under the MSQ ?

[warm snow]

Yes

[obsidian patio]

Yes

[faint flare]

Immediately

[warm snow]

Like yesterday

[drifting lynx]

And for the gear ? where?

[faint flare]

Job quests are even higher priority

They give you gear via the job quest

[obsidian patio]

Your level 45 job quest will give you some gear

[drifting lynx]

Ah

excellent

[warm snow]

For gear and skills and upgrades

[drifting lynx]

Gonna focus that right now, tyvm guys!

[wheat plume]

Where can I start Hildibrand in Stormblood?

[open coral]

Ishgard. I think the NPC is in the market.

No wait

Sorry, that's HW

SB is Kugane to start.

[vagrant talon]

Is it more optimal if I do some of the left over blue quests for heavesnsward before going into stormblood? Non craft blue quests. I have not touched crafting yet.

[wheat plume]

Thxs

[open coral]

Up to you. are just unlock content, not required unless they're listed on the MSQ tracker.

[vagrant talon]

Thanks

[violet solstice]

What custom deliveries share a lockout? right now I do Zhloe Aliapoh and then M'naago Rahz. I have Kurenai and Kai-Shirr but can't do those two after I do Zhloe Aliapoh and M'naago Rahz

[faint flare]

All of them

You do 12 custom deliveries per week

6 per npc

[violet solstice]

ah

I see

[faint flare]

Spread the 12 uses how you see fit

[eternal marten]

The steam version of ffxiv endwalker went on sale recently. Will the square enix store version follow anytime soon?

[faint flare]

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[boreal storm]

We’re not square

[faint flare]

Probably maybe

[open coral]

There's no pattern

[eternal marten]

there isnt?

[faint flare]

No

[open coral]

No

[eternal marten]

this sucks

[open coral]

There's a good chance it will go on sale around Black Friday/Christmas

But it's not a guarantee

[eternal marten]

I dont get why steam and square versions of the game are incompatable

[open coral]

Because from a software perspective, they're the same software.

They're just using different authentication gateways.

[eternal marten]

I wish there was some way to switch over

[boreal storm]

Because steam wanted it to be separate, and that’s the end of that

[hard violet]

where can i join a join a grand company

[twilit arch]

continue with the main scenario quest, you can't miss joining one

[hard violet]

😐

[twilit arch]

You also can't join a grand company before that point in the story anyway

[faint flare]

And when we say you can't miss it, you literally physically can't

It's a story objective

It's forced

[leaden ginkgo]

whats the easiest way to do the ARR extreme trials on free trial

[steep egret]

get some max level player to unsync with you

[open coral]

Same way as with a sub, honestly.

[steep egret]

and one shot them 😄

[open coral]

Find a max level player to help you. It's just more difficult since you don't necessarily have access to the chats or tools to make it easy.

[leaden ginkgo]

ok get carried ez

[steep egret]

just go shout in a main city, or get invited to a nice local linkshell

[leaden ginkgo]

does this apply for the heavensward mount as well

[open coral]

Can't /shout on free trial

[leaden ginkgo]

^^

[open coral]

To an extent, yes.

[steep egret]

semantics

[open coral]

But it will be more difficult because you're capped at the same level as the content, so you'll almost definitely die to mechanics if your max level carry doesn't shield you well.

[leaden ginkgo]

I see, cheers for the help

[worn crag]

should i dump all my resistance honors into damage? or are the others decently worth it

[twilit arch]

yes, dmg first

Damage actually changes things, others dont

Damage is king in this game

[drifting lynx]

Beginner here. When reaching lvl 30 as Marauder, if i want to push further the class quest, i need to convert it to warrior ? o.O

[faint flare]

It's a direct upgrade

[oak lily]

!faq job

[zinc orbit]

How do I unlock my job?

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

[faint flare]

If you're a marauder past lv30 you're basically griefing

[drifting lynx]

I'm Marauder 49 😄

[oak lily]

Uh

[faint flare]

And that's why I said earlier

You were griefing your groups

[open coral]

Yes, you've been unintentionally griefing every group you've been in.

[faint flare]

And surprised no one kicked you yet

[drifting lynx]

Haha, oh yeah thats you! I'm just trying to figure out where to get the right job quests

[open coral]

As a Marauder past 30, you're missing multiple core elements of your job.

[twilit arch]

Job quests start at your class trainer for the base class (Marauder) and continue from the job trainer thereafter.

[twilit arch]

thanks discord

[open coral]

So your class trainer is at the Marauder's guild in Limsa Lominsa, and your job trainer will be at the small waterfall just north of Costa Del Sol.

[drifting lynx]

You know his name by any chance ? 😄

[open coral]

The job trainer? His name is Curious Gorge.

[drifting lynx]

tyvm!

[open coral]

The class trainer... I don't recall their name off the top of my head.

[boreal storm]

It’s on the msqtracker, that we showed earlier

[oak lily]

Wheiskaet?

[open coral]

Is he the trainer for MRD?

[oak lily]

Yes

I think

[open coral]

But yeah, you'll need to pick up your class/job quest chain wherever you left off with it, which is presumably somewhere well before you'd need to worry about your job trainer - which the chain will lead you to the location of when you get to that point.

[faint flare]

And keep the damn soul stone equipped when you get it

Save it to the gear set

[open coral]

Also be aware that equipping your job stone and becoming a Warrior will entirely reset your bars, so be ready to go through and set everything up again.

The same is true for all of the ARR classes as well.

[drifting lynx]

ROFL! Already had the soul stone in inventory.... just never equiped it -_-

gotchya ty again

[dusk idol]

i am currently on the pc trial not the steam one, if i buy the game on steam how do i transfer my account

[oak lily]

Putting the code in should do it

[oak quarry]

do retainers "save" levels like players?
i.e. if i switch my miner to a combat class but decide i want to switch back later on, does it keep the mining level?

[twilit arch]

get the code from the cd key section of your steam library and throw it into mogstation

nope

[oak quarry]

damb

[twilit arch]

they will start at lvl 1 always

[dusk idol]

ohh so i buy the game then i get a code on steam ?

[twilit arch]

only time it would retain levels is going from class to job

[oak quarry]

that's alright then

[twilit arch]

yarp

[dusk idol]

tyy

[astral badge]

What are the allagan tome things used for?

[boreal storm]

Buying gear most importantly

[astral badge]

Ahh gotcha

And what about the flame seals? I honestly have no clue what the factions do or whatever theyre called

Grand company lmao

[boreal storm]

There’s a shop at the GC

[astral badge]

Gotcha

[boreal storm]

You get a larger seal cap as you rank up, as well as shop selection

[obsidian patio]

Grand company is mostly level 20-40ish gear, glamour gear, and various crafting materials and miscellaneous things

Lots of different odds and ends

[oak lily]

I used it in between dungeon gear before I got every combat job to 50

[boreal storm]

At max rank you can get these “gacha boxes” that give minions or mounts

[void willow]

where do i find the mini games in the golden saucer?

[oak lily]

Around

[void willow]

where though

[boreal storm]

They’re marked on the map, you can literally walk anywhere and find one

[void willow]

marked on the map? huh am i blind

[ember nimbus]

like the crane game?

or like leap of faith?

[void willow]

races and triple triad stuff like that or do I need to be a higher level or something?

[boreal storm]

Okay just show me your map, I’ll tell which you’re closest to

[obsidian patio]

Triple Triad is unlocked near the southwest corner near the airship landing

[obsidian patio]

And Chocobo racing is on the “2nd floor” accessed through an elevator near the Prize exchange people

[boreal storm]

Yeah all those black icons with writing
Mini games

[obsidian patio]

For racing (Chocobo lift) and TT (the quest)

[boreal storm]

And you’re right next to the claw machine

[void willow]

ah ok

[onyx urchin]

About the dyes I have collected and hoarded in my inventory.

Am I supposed to store them in glamour dressers?

[boreal storm]

No you store equipment, which you can dye

[onyx urchin]

Cry...

So if I have 20 over dye... I die?

[boreal storm]

What

[onyx urchin]

They will just eat up space in inventory

[boreal storm]

So use your other inventories
Saddlebag retainers

[onyx urchin]

Haha ok. I get it now.
That's what ppl do ...

That's what those saddlebags are for

Other than mats

Thanks!!! @boreal storm

[warped hamlet]

what a good recommend speed materia for the reaper?

[obsidian patio]

Reaper wants baseline GCD I think

[oak lily]

Yeah

[obsidian patio]

Or very close to 2.5

[oak lily]

Going higher can hurt

[warped hamlet]

2.5 hmm

[twilit arch]

🇦: Reaper functions best at either 2.49 or 2.48. These speeds align the rotation close to a clean 120 second loop. Going any slower will cause resource generation issues later in the rotation and any faster you’ll begin to clip Plentiful Harvest in your opener. Skill Speed is also our lowest scaling stat, so the more we meld, the lower our overall damage.```

you actually dont want 2.5

[warped hamlet]

i mean i did up to 773 skill speed

so yeah

[topaz veldt]

So what's the question?

[twilit arch]

going strictly based off of how much materia you need isn't really an easy answer since we don't know what your gear looks like

[warped hamlet]

ok than, thanks for the infos

[twilit arch]

you should be looking at your skills and seeing what the recast time says to see your gcd speed

and if its not 2.49/2.48, meld more sks

[warped hamlet]

recast says 2.43

on slice

[oak lily]

Bit too fast

[warped hamlet]

for example

[twilit arch]

you're way too fast then

[warped hamlet]

ok than

[silver helm]

Just got my monk to lvl 52 and Im thinking of switching to another class to main, either samuri or ninja. I heard that Ninja is a lot more difficult, how much more difficult is ninja vs. monks?

[oak lily]

@warped hamlet

Ninja just has a very heavy opener

[warped hamlet]

cool

thanks

[oak lily]

Because of mudra

Monk is just s p e e d

[remote lintel]

i wouldnt call ninja difficult

monk is definitely harder to optimize at endgame

[warped hamlet]

I thought reapers are speed

seeing them in battle

[remote lintel]

no lol

rpr has like no sks

[silver helm]

what does speed mean exaclty? like movement or using ablityies?

[remote lintel]

gcd speed

[outer mural]

ninja has a medium-high skill floor and demands relatively high apm for maximum potential

[silver helm]

gcd?

[outer mural]

ie it forces you to hit buttons and stuff quickly and on cooldown

[remote lintel]

global cooldown

its 2.5s by default

but monk is lower bc of its passive

[outer mural]

^
it's a shared cooldown all weaponskills/spells go on when you use something on the gcd

your 1 - 2 - 3 combo being the most relevant example

you always wanna keep it rolling in that case and ninja's speed makes it more important to get more gcds in

[oak lily]

Because Ninja has this

!action Huton

[zinc orbit]

**Huton** : lvl 45 NIN (1.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces weaponskill recast time and auto-attack delay by 15%.
Duration: 60s
Mudra Combination: Jin→Chi→Ten or Chi→Jin→Ten
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.

※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.

Powered by XIVAPI

[outer mural]

honestly i would consider samurai and ninja equally difficult to pick up in different ways

samurai needs you to learn intentionality in your rotation and what combo you opt to pick, ninja forces you to hit your buttons rapidly and off cooldown as possible

[silver helm]

what catagorizes the difficulty? and is monk more or less difficult than either of the two?

[remote lintel]

difficulty is subjective

so what youre asking is subjective

[oak lily]

Monk, meanwhile

[outer mural]

i personally find monk difficult because of its unorthodox combo system, lack of ui elements to help me keep track of stuff, and overall optimization

[oak lily]

!trait Greased Lightning IV

[zinc orbit]

Error!

Trait not found, Kupo!

[outer mural]

but that's me, other people can find it super duper easy

[oak lily]

Er, what was the name?

[remote lintel]

but monk is generally more difficult to optimize at endgame if youre going to do endgame

[outer mural]

i find monk more difficult to play well than samurai at the higher end of the skill curve personally

[twilit arch]

!trait Enhanced Greased Lightning III

[zinc orbit]

**Enhanced Greased Lightning III** : lvl 76 MNK

Reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 20%. Also improves Disciplined Fist's damage increase to 15%.

Powered by XIVAPI

[silver helm]

For me personally, its having to manage a lot of keys at once that difficult. Actually knowing the combos is one thing, but executing them is usually my problem. I know from that logic that I should have picked a tank, but I like playing dps in other games, and this one is probably the same (I love the big numbers).

[outer mural]

i also hae that issue

[remote lintel]

i mean thats how all dps function

[outer mural]

sam has more combos but it's less thought that goes into the intention behind them at times

[remote lintel]

if youre struggling with a lot of keys then play smn

it has like nothing

[oak lily]

Yeah, my brain sometimes shorts when playing ninja

[silver helm]

Is smn short for summoner?

[outer mural]

ninja is basically heavy burst every 60s then just simple cooldown 1 - 2 - 3 with the occasional ninjutsu

[remote lintel]

yes

[outer mural]

yep

[remote lintel]

all jobs have a 3 letter abbreviation

[outer mural]

i'm a samurai main so my bias is there but ninja is a pretty fulfilling job too tbh

[silver helm]

Do all casters have to stand still to cast? I tried black mage till lvl 10, then switched the monk after hating to stand still for every cast.

[outer mural]

yes

the difference is the number of casts

[faint flare]

Yes but they also have a number of instant casts

Which allow them to move while dpsing

[remote lintel]

i find nin braindead and was able to do it pretty well in savage with no prior melee experience but ive also played it a shit ton ¯_(ツ)_/¯

[oak lily]

Any cast outside of pvp on brd/mch have to stand still

[faint flare]

Summoner and black mage have a fuck ton of instants (when used correctly)

[outer mural]

more than half of all of red mage's gcds are instant casts, summoner has very close to 90% of its rotation being instant, black mage casts a lot but has tools that encourage optimization and proper usage of these tools to get around

it's not really 'one casts more than the other', it's a 'pick your poison' sorta deal

[remote lintel]

would say rdm does cast more than the other 2

[outer mural]

yeah, but the casts are shorter overall too so it's definitely stylistic

there's also the 'freedom of movement'

[oak lily]

Smn’s only casts are Garuda Astral Flow and Ifrit rites

[outer mural]

since rdm is tied down to having every other gcd be a cast, you have less overall flexibility of when you can actually move and thus it hates extended movement unless you specifically plan for it

meanwhile BLM has so much shit it can throw out to move for a long time if it really needed to

[remote lintel]

honestly if you dont like monk then just pick another class

[silver helm]

When a skill mentions "a flank" what does that mean?

[outer mural]

side

[remote lintel]

the side of the boss

[outer mural]

uhhh cerb you got the command?

[silver helm]

Bruh, I've been hitting the rear the entire time even though I should be hitting the flank

[remote lintel]

welp

the more you know

[outer mural]

but yeah the sweet spot for meele positioning is back-right back-left in between flank and rear

lmao

better now than at 90 i guess lmfao

[remote lintel]

why did they get rid of the ass crack pic kael

[outer mural]

they WHAT

[twilit arch]

bully channy

[remote lintel]

the target ring with the ass crack arrow

[silver helm]

Does skills involving a hitting a certain part of an enemy called positionals?

[remote lintel]

yes chip

theyre called positionals because you position for them

[silver helm]

That I assumed

Just wanted to make sure

Afterall, I thought flank meant behind

Anyway, which has more positional? Samurai or ninjas?

[faint flare]

They have the same

[remote lintel]

pretty sure all melee have 2-3 positionals now

[faint flare]

Ninja technically 1 more if counting trick

But ninja only goes to the flank every now and then for armour crush

[outer mural]

they're about the same but ninja has less constant swapping of both like vinyl said yeah

[faint flare]

Samurai goes constantly as it cycles through its combos

[outer mural]

ninja is 90% slapping butt, samurai goes between flank and rear often, especially due to a skill that makes you skip combo steps so you can do the high damage gcds with positionals back to back

[silver helm]

Based on videos I've seen, apprently samurai is less difficult that ninjas, any reason why that might be?

[remote lintel]

again difficulty is subjective

[faint flare]

Samurai has its own mess to deal with when figuring out optimal filler gcds in its rotation

[outer mural]

difficulty is subjective y eah

[remote lintel]

they just play different

i havent really touched sam in endwalker but i hated it in shadowbringers cause you have to plan shit and i dont like planning shit as a dps

[outer mural]

picking up samurai and using its buttons correctly is not difficult at a base level at 90 imo, because there's only a few buttons you need to hit off cd and managaing gauge is not hard

[remote lintel]

whereas on ninja i just hit the things on cooldown

so i find ninja braindead

and samurai hard

[outer mural]

but playing it well is another story

ninja is more difficult to pick up because it has many buttons to hit off cd, a timer to track, charges to keep track of often not to overcap, mudra combos, etc, but playing it well past that point is far easier than a well-played samurai

[modest igloo]

Ninjas burst can be harder to grasp as a new player, but after that the job is simple. SAM is easier to pick up, but has a lot to optimize

[robust crow]

playing anything well can be challenging

[upper cove]

For p3s fof. Is panhaima after the first puddle soaked enough to cover the next 3 puddles?

[robust crow]

ezcept summoner

[outer mural]

but this is my perspective and people can just disagree with what people want

[robust crow]

summoner is pretty easy to play well

[remote lintel]

ask in the balance

[upper cove]

Aighto

[oak lily]

Does it hit 5 times?

[outer mural]

hits 3 so panhaima can fit it all

[silver helm]

Also, since if I try ninja, I would have to level it up, is there an easy way to do so? Like something that I can just repeat? Since there aren't any more msq till lvl 50

[outer mural]

issue is if the shield being broken and restoring hp is enough

[remote lintel]

[upper cove]

Just wondering if the shield + heal plus self krasis is enough to sustain

but yeah ask sage lounge in case

[remote lintel]

i dont heal but from what ive seen theyve had to aoe heal after every single puddle

bc everyone is taking dmg

plus the autoattacks on the ot

[faint flare]

Pretty sure FoF puddles do percentage damage

So

You do need to heal in-between each hit

- 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
- These are quests you can do more than once, how often you can repeat it is up to the individual quest.

How should I set up my dancer HUD?

At the end of the day, your HUD should be up to personal preference—what might work for others may not work for you. Commonly used abilities such as Fan Dance I and Fan Dance III should generally be on easily reached buttons; you may want to consider avoiding modifiers such as shift- or alt- for them as it can make moving while double weaving challenging.

If you are stuck and/or looking for ideas, here are a few examples:

io with hidden bottom hotbars
Rah (controller) Part 1, Part 2
Resilla
Schmali (MMO mouse with 3x4 layout)
Stephia
Yumiya (MMO mouse with keyboard)

[faint flare]

depends what you're using deploy for

if you're using it to mitigate an aoe that takes the entire shield then it doesn't matter

if there would be shield left then deploy off the tank (only happens in dungeons)

you'll often do it off yourself since you control the position

[meager path]

Quick question, I can't find anything in this discord about a party finder. I am on the free trial and because of that i can't join a FC. I am trying to farm a mount but the queue is too long alone. Any help is appreciated.

[boreal storm]

Look in PF, to see if anyone is running the duty
You can also ask people in game for help

[narrow jay]

The queue for those is going to be very, very long because no one does them synced anymore, barring very specific and niche groups who enjoy the perceived challenge of doing content at its minimum item level. With our current gear at level 90, the ARR and HW extreme trials are extremely easy to delete, and most if not all of them can even be soloed at that level when unsynced. That's why you want to be looking for those (unsynced) parties.

[last brook]

What is the fastest way to level up a level 11 DPS job to 30? Do I just weave fates in between dungeon queues? *Excluding MSQ btw.

[narrow jay]

Fates aren't great for XP, although they can give you some and keep you busy. Your Hunting Log is still a good source of XP, and since you're a DPS it might save time to simply go with the NPCs through your highest-level dungeon instead of waiting for a Duty Finder queue to pop.

[last brook]

You can do low level stuff like sastasha with npcs now??

[fossil trench]

Yes

[last brook]

Whaaaaaat.......

[fossil trench]

Make sure you've unlocked all the optional levelling dungeons too

[last brook]

🤯

[narrow jay]

Yeah, it's a feature they added recently.

You can find it in Duty Support in your menu.

[drifting lynx]

Without including MSQ, ideas to level tank from 51 to 60 ? New player here

[twilit arch]

highest level dungeon, that doesn't end with 0

[boreal storm]

Dungeons, it’ll always be dungeons

[drifting lynx]

But not the ones who are 50 right ? The highest dungeon i have is the 47 one and i think the other ones are locked behind msq isnt it ? :/

[boreal storm]

If you’re not in HW, you have no reason to be leveling to 60

[twilit arch]

you should be doing msq then if your highest leveling dungeon is 47

[drifting lynx]

Was thinking to keep the remaining MSQ for another class

[drifting lynx]

My MSQ is 35 and i'm 51 atm

[twilit arch]

yea...you should really focus on msq

[boreal storm]

Please do the story

[twilit arch]

if you really want to use the msq exp for an alt job, just level up a dps to 35

wont take that long

and continue with it

[boreal storm]

You wouldn’t even be able to use half of your skills

[twilit arch]

there's no real good reason to get a tank 60 when you can't even do 60 content

[drifting lynx]

Make sens

so i should focus on MSQ untill i bring it back to 60 (same level as my class will be)

?

(im free trial atm)

[twilit arch]

yes, should be the priority

given pretty much everything is locked behind it, in some form or fashion

[drifting lynx]

Okay then! Ill do the msq :p

[drifting lynx]

I can i can pick a healer since i have a tank and a dps

or they are hard to level ?

[drifting lynx]

Dynamic healer suggestion for a new player ?

[drifting lynx]

black mage 46

[umbral dune]

white mage, start off as conjurer

[boreal storm]

Yeah There’s only one healer you can start as

[drifting lynx]

Oh okay

I really really like the play style of the Warrior, thats why im not super hot at the idea of doing another job right now, im having a lot of fun with it

[boreal storm]

Also you can turn off at-ing when you reply to people, just seems like you didn’t know

[drifting lynx]

Oh okay, i guess it pings people right? I forgot about that

[twilit arch]

if you're having fun with war then by all means continue with war. main reason the suggestion to use another job to soak up exp from msq is you're likely going to be 60 before you finish HW on that 51 job

and its easier to start a new job now since your msq is so low

but its not the end of the world if you choose to continue with war

[cosmic sleet]

im confused about the treasure map lockout, someone in my party says they have 3, is it possible to do many back to back?

i noticed i just deciphered one and the lockout already happened, so I guess the lockout is just for deciphering and once you have multiple you can do them back to back?

[modest igloo]

its basically locked to one per inventory

you can decipher one, have one in you inventory, and one in your saddlebag

so you can have up to 3 on your person at a time

retainers also count as an inventory

[cosmic sleet]

i see, so as long as u go back and get them, you can assemble one group and go back to back?

[modest igloo]

yep pretty much

back in 5.55 there was an event where you could also buy a special map that was stackable

but it was only for the lvl 80 treasure maps

[cosmic sleet]

i see i see, thanks!!

[patent swift]

anyone know what this headpiece is?

was on a retainer so i couldn't check

nvm found it!

[hollow briar]

I must ask. Is SMN still a b*tch to play rotation wise?

[bitter herald]

no!

[jovial quarry]

Nope. It’s the easiest job to learn bar none.

[steel wigeon]

Definitely not

[bitter herald]

it's braindead easy now

[hollow briar]

I may check it out when I come back on the 5th then 😂

Was a class that I always wanted to play but kinda didn't wanna learn a 3 minute rotation to play

[oak lily]

that's literally the rotation

[hollow briar]

Haven't played since a few months before Endwalker btw

[storm sapphire]

So if I cover someone, do I straight up take the damage they take with their low defense stat, or is it like the hit hit me instead? Like if they’re getting covered would mitigation on me mitigate, or mitigation on them mitigate the damage?

[oak lily]

you take their damage

[storm sapphire]

Ah, so I should give them mitigation if that happens

[oak lily]

its an extremely situational skill

[storm sapphire]

It is

[modest igloo]

9/10 times intervention beats it

[steep egret]

i relegate it to the shit hotkeys i never use

each class/job has at least a couple seldom used skill

[modest igloo]

the last time was useful was like e6s melee uptime strat in 2020

jesus 2020 was 2 years ago

[olive shore]

If i buy a house and then not play for a couple months. Will i get refunded the gil for the house when it becomes up for sale? Same with whatever i put inside it?

[boreal storm]

Auto demolition still isn’t active

And in that case you would still only get like 80% back

[obsidian patio]

There’s a time limit to the return too (45 or 90 days after the house demolishes), so if you’re gone for a very long time then you don’t get anything back from the house

(Unless SE changed that)

[olive shore]

Wow. So they make sure you stay subbed

[obsidian patio]

Apartments are a vastly safer alternative if you can deal with their smaller size

They have no demolition timer at all

[lyric rapids]

is there a website where i can input a target craftsmanship, control and CP and it will give me the combination of materia needed to reach that target?

[obsidian patio]

Not that I’m aware of. The balance discord’s crafter channels might know

[solemn jewel]

Use partyfinder in game

[drifting lynx]

Current level ?

Server ?

Im on Crystal :/

[oak lily]

where are you in story

Wait, isn't Famfrit on Primal?

[visual sandal]

famfrit should be primal

[twilit arch]

if you think blu is garbage why not just not bother?

you can always just do it the normal way

and go level it yourself

[solemn jewel]

Use the in-game partyfinder

Offer some gil

Give them incentive?

[drifting lynx]

https://tenor.com/view/eating-popcorn-im-watching-interested-gif-14656217

[solemn jewel]

Gil. Again
It's normal to offer Gil for someone to help u level for the 2 hours it needs

[twilit arch]

You could've probably had blue at 70 by now if you had just farmed open world mobs in the weeks you've been trying to get someone to power level you

[oak lily]

blu gear is also a mix on scaevan and mirage

[twilit arch]

find open world mobs that have spells, farm them until you get the spell and then move onto another open world mob

yes it literally is

well this isn't the channel to be asking for someone to power level you

[solemn jewel]

This is a helpdesk for questions
Not a teamup channel

[obsidian patio]

The datacenter channels are the go-to for asking for help in-game

Ok.

[visual sandal]

weirdge

[drifting lynx]

(sorry for the giff, im very tired, i should have kept it)

my bad

[modest igloo]

what's SCH's equivalent to panhiama?

[visual sandal]

Expedient

ig seraph's ability?

[obsidian patio]

SCH doesn’t really have a direct comparison to it

But yeah I’d personally say Seraph

[visual sandal]

aoe heal, apply shield, two charges

It's not a direct comparison though

[modest igloo]

ah ok

[fringe reef]

does dear leader 2 achievement also gives something like the first one gave the emotes?

[obsidian patio]

Only the first one gives stuff

[fringe reef]

thanks

[sterile stone]

are cash shop mounts account wide?

[modest igloo]

mount-dependent iirc

it'll say on the page if it is or not

[leaden ginkgo]

How can i get the street outfit glam

[modest igloo]

buy it

on mogstation

[oak lily]

buy it for $22

[leaden ginkgo]

its available ?

pog

thanks

[stiff crystal]

Anyone know how to fix a ‘screenshot failed’ error? I had it before but fixed it by making an exception in my antivirus software, the exception is still working and I cleared out a load of screenshots so the folder isn’t particularly hefty either.

[jolly sorrel]

As PLD, should I be using MP more often? Right now I'm only using it for the Resquiat combo, which is like 5k mp per minute. But we even get Espacion to recover more MP which isnt going anywhere?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hello, would like to know what's the best hp potion? (for lvl 90)

[umbral dune]

none

[stiff crystal]

Your only MP expenditure is your magic combo

[umbral dune]

hp potion sucks, ignore it

[modest igloo]

helps to get mp back if u die

[modest igloo]

none

[stiff crystal]

Use requiescat then holy until you have 1 left, hit confiteor, then follow the blade combo through.

[jolly sorrel]

Yush. So 5k MP per requescat is all I use, for the rest its normal to just keep it capped at all times?

[stiff crystal]

Yep. That you have left over is just because everyone gets the same

[steel wigeon]

i find it super weird to be left at 5K MP when we used to spend the whole MP bar on shb

[stiff crystal]

There are only a couple of jobs where MP should ever approach empty, so it can be jarring if you’ve played those then suddenly have a perpetual surplus

[oak quarry]

any tips for spending excess white crafters' scrips? i've already gotten all of the books up to IX, all of the best gear for my current levels, and the orchestrion rolls

[half hare]

materia

[modest igloo]

look up what materia is selling on your server

[storm sapphire]

I had this issue before and I solved it by changing my destination folder for screenshots

[half hare]

is their a differnce between kungane castle and kugane ohsahi

[twilit arch]

ones a dungeon, the other is a trial

[storm sapphire]

You could start working on the crafter relic weapons for glam

[half hare]

well fuck me ive been farming the castle for the card well i got yugiri and the music

[storm sapphire]

It’s a lot easier now at level 90 since you can click 1 button to make the materials at HQ

[oak quarry]

don't have a crafter at 90 yet

[stiff crystal]

I’ll give that a try. Thanks

[oak quarry]

maybe i'll do that once i get one to 90

[steel wigeon]

IX control materia do be selling a lot

[oak quarry]

yeah i bought some control

[stiff crystal]

Still failed 😦

[storm sapphire]

Aw

Wait did you change the destination to be outside of “documents” folder?

[stiff crystal]

No I made one in the ‘my games’ folder but separate from the ff folder. Does it need to be out of documents entirely?

[storm sapphire]

Yeah, that was my issue, had to put the folder completely outside of the documents

Try that and hopefully it works

I made a folder in the windows pictures folders called ffxiv screenshots and set that as my destination for screenshots

[umbral dune]

have you try delete the screenshot folder in my document, the game will auto generate a new one if none exist

[stiff crystal]

I just tried that, still no joy 😦

[stiff crystal]

I’ll try that next

That didn’t work either, the game made me manually create a new folder and specify it

Then proceeded to fail again

[storm sapphire]

Shoot, that sucks

[steep egret]

upload your game data to the server, then delete the entire ff14 folder in the my games folder
then restore the backup from server

and dont run the game as admin, ever

it causes these kinds of issues

[umbral dune]

also, are you using onedrive?, a lot of stupid problem arise with that thing turned on

[stiff crystal]

Nah not using OneDrive

[stiff crystal]

Just tried that. Still failed

I’ll have to make a support ticket, this is super broke

[steep egret]

then something on your computer is interfering

[stiff crystal]

I’ve tried with all protection switched off and there are exceptions for when it’s on, so it’s not those at least. I’m not sure what else could possibly even interact, never mind interfere

[alpine shadow]

you are unable to save the screenshot anywhere?

are you hitting "apply" in the settings before you take the screenshot?

[stiff crystal]

Yep, and yes I am

Tried restarting the game between each path attempt too

[storm sapphire]

Maybe try running the game as administrator

[steep egret]

dont, please dont

ff14 is bad as admin, it changes permissions on ur settings files, like where hotbars and gearsets are located
and can make them stop saving properly

SE devs need a lesson in basic windows file permissions

[stiff crystal]

At this stage I’m considering reinstalling the entire game. I’ve looked and nothing on my system that isn’t naturally involved in running the game appears to even be looking at it, never mind interacting or blocking it.

[steep egret]

if the game was broken, your only issue wouldn't be, saving a screenshot

anything that runs an overlay, interacts with the game

as well as others that dont

RTSS, OBS, Discord, Logitech GHUB, to name a few

[stiff crystal]

Nope, game is running vanilla client with no addons or mods. Don’t even use GeForce shaders

Discord is on my phone

[steep egret]

GHUB is notoriously bad

[alpine shadow]

i've never had issues running the game as administrator

[steep egret]

ok great, you aren't everyone 😄

[alpine shadow]

and they shouldn't messing with file permissions

[steep egret]

they are

they do

its bad

[stiff crystal]

Like I say, there’s nothing running on my system that even has the capacity to interact at the moment.

[steep egret]

usually the source OF not being able to save screenshots, is someone ran the game as admin once

and it broke permissions on those folders

it can also break all configs

[alpine shadow]

just take a backup of the folder

[steep egret]

get the xivlauncher, and run a repair on the game, right click the login button and select repair

that way you know the game is perfect

[stiff crystal]

The quick launcher?
