In the role selection channel when i try to react to a certain role it gives me this interaction has failed
thats just discord being stupid
Basically the roles aren't working for them. Gives them like an error message
either wait, or check the 2nd channel
Okay
how long is ironworks sufficient? til 60?
55 msq
around 54 HQ white gear, 55 dungeon gear
What channel is bright yellow text?
so, heavensward?
Yes
Yell chat
/yell
makes sense
so for all trials/dungeons unlocked during ARR post-ultima, there's no use in gunning for better gear right?
Ironworks is more or less BiS till level 54, so more than sufficient for all level 50 content
you don't even have to buy gear, MSQ reward gear
by lvl 54, do you mean msq lvl 54
yes
alright thank you
There is little point in every having gear that’s higher level than your current MSQ progress, as you’ll just be level synced down for all content
Just use what you get from quest/dungeon rewards and poetics, and leave it at that
How do I put items in the glamour dressor?
repair them to at least 100%, open the dresser, search through filter then left click, consume 1 glamour prism each item
I cant seem to store this helmet I got even though its 100% reparied
in vesper bay, the lady in the middle, lvl 15 blue quest, do it
done it already
do you have the prism on yourself?
which helmet?
rainbow coif of scouting
you can't put it in the Armoire
how do I know if I can?
there is 3 symbols on the top right of an item info menu, it needs to have the middle icon light up
it can, however, go into the glamour dresser. you just need the item in your inventory and a glamour prism to put it into the dresser
you mean the right one? because this helmet has the left and middle one lit up
middle, right is the armoire
the helmet has the middle one glowing, no i have no idea why its not showing up. This is what I see
I told you to search through
is there an easily obtainable lv90 armor set
crafted or Limbo
is the crafted one expensive?
can be
The one you get for free from msq
the AF gears
Hello guys, did anyone know when will Garo event will last?
we have absolutely no idea
But it's not going to end anytime soon.
they'll let us know well in advance when garo will end
but likely won't be for a atleast a year or two, simply going off of the first time's run length
yeah last Garo event lasted for quite long atleast
thanks guys
Wait is the treasure map lockout for getting treasure maps or entering treasure dungeons? I'm currently infront of a treasure dungeon portal but it says:
Unable to execute command. One or more party members have not met all the conditions required for this duty.
You do not meet all the conditions required for this duty.
its for gathering maps
nvm it was cuz i was still listed on party finder lol, my bad
also wiki says "Occasionally, there will be arrows pointing towards the correct door.", roughly where should I be looking for that ?
It's very obvious
Rainbows and lights will show up
And a pathway is on the floor
With the door glowing
got it tyty
price dropped recently. Typically not as expensive :((
Or maybe every crafter left and the only ones left put them up higher than necessary.
Do those world jumps to see where the price fits
apart from joining an FC, to get that exp bonus, i was doing squadron runs for the scrolls but they sometimes fail,... and they also run out! is there a other way to get perma exp bonus?
No, the easiest way is to transfer into new world for the road to 80 buff, at least 90 days or as long as that world remain so
Join forces with a mentor. Eat food.
weird question but what do i do with gill besides buying nice glamours? is there anything pve wise i should save gill for?
a possibility is crafted endgame gear as kind of a starter raiding gear.
Or a house? minion/mount collecting?
Mount collecting without actually doing the content they come from is 💸
Gil is basically the lazyman way to get stuff
A way to farm X content to get the rewards of Y content
materia, housing, basic raiding gear, exploratory content has items you can buy that can give cool effects, treasure maps for optional dungeons, minions, mounts
they didnt really say that, but DoH/L isnt needed
hi, sorry it's my first time here so if I posted this in the wrong channel please tell me. but can someone in the US register the free trial for my acc? I'm SEA so I've been trying for a whole day to register but sadly it's always i2501 😭
is it a waste to do Ameliance deliveries just because I want to? e.g. should I save it for a future DoH/L that I wanna level
they dont go away, if u dont have dohs leveled rn, just do em with the ones at max until u can use em to level
ah okay nice, tyty
even if u max her delivery out, u can still do it every week, so its really not a waste
easy 👌
When maxed out there's a chance for the deliveries to give bonus exp too
I bought FF a few years ago on Steam and has been playing it there ever since, few weeks ago I made myself another steam account and it has became my main account.
Is there anyway that I can unlink my account and make it independant of steam?
Like the PS version, your game is linked 1:1 with your Steam account
you can't unlink it permanently, you can possibly unlink it to re-link to another account though
There is a process to unlink your game from a Steam account, bit you’d still have to relink it to another Steam account
I guess that's a better option than having to sign out and in 100 times a day every time I wanna check the MB
Thanks for the info
? what
And how's that different from shout?
yell is shorter distance
shout is the entire zone
Hello there, do you know how we can more easily see if an individual lot is purchasable rather than going to each parcel?
Yes I know that, but I am looking for a house for myself and the only way I have found to know if I can have a house is to go and see the land by myself, isn't there another easier way? 🤔
You have to remember it's on the lottery
Check the period in the timer menu
If it'd the bidding period then you can go bid on it
I'm gonna move world, I removed all my furnishings. Do I click this now and I'm good to get the gil compensation for when I move?
4 For private estates, DO NOT relinquish the land but remove all furnishings and your estate hall and then apply for a Home World Transfer.
So it means that I have to wait until the end of the countdown to know if the land is available ? (Sorry I don't have a very good English xD)
If it's in the results period you can't bid
It has to be in the lottery/bidding period to place a bid
How the lottery works
Oke thank you o/
have any of you ever taken a break from this game for three months or longer? how long did it take for you to remember how to play your favourite job
Like immediately cause I have a good memory of how jobs work despite going away for 2 years
More a question of your memory and remembering your keybinds and why they're set up like that
i see... i think i have my keybinds for red mage and dancer set up pretty well. drk is another story, i hear it's a little bit different? but i guess it'll come back after i practise w/ the dummies
DRK hasn't changed since its rework in shadowbringers
The only major difference is that living dead is really fucking good now
really??? what changed?
!action living dead
Grants the effect of Living Dead.
When HP is reduced to 0 while under the effect of Living Dead, instead of becoming KO'd, your status will change to Walking Dead.
Living Dead Duration: 10s
Additional Effect: Restores HP with each weaponskill successfully delivered or spell cast
Cure Potency: 1500
While under the effect of Walking Dead, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1. If, before the Walking Dead timer runs out, an amount of HP totaling your maximum HP is restored, the effect will change to Undead Rebirth. If this amount is not restored, you will be KO'd.
Walking Dead Duration: 10s
While under the effect of Undead Rebirth, most attacks will not lower your HP below 1.
Undead Rebirth Duration: Time remaining on Walking Dead
You get massive lifesteal when walking dead is triggered
So you can heal your own living dead, provided you can keep hitting stuff
And you retain the immunity when it's healed off
Instead of it ending early
And it heals per hit so it's an instant full heal in trash with 1 aoe
wow, this sounds like a HUGE improvement. i'm honestly surprised they gave drks that much power
It's something people have been asking for years
it was so awful before
It went from the worst immunity to a standard immunity and one more usable by the casuals
like i love drk, love the quests, love the glams, love the class fantasy but the living dead was definitely lacking before
good to hear!
!faq hunts
How do I unlock Hunts?
ARR Hunts: Be 2nd Lieutenant in your Grand Company and complete the quest
''Let the Hunt Begin'' located at your Grand Company. You can promote to 2nd Lieutenant by talking to the Personnel Officer and buying promotions for seals and by completing the GC Hunting Log and the quests

ty
It's a soft chain, need to do each expansion unlock in order

at least the quests arent long
😔
i got stuck trying to find elite and dangerous, not realizing i had to go to idyllshire for top marks

are you suuuure?
The sheer breadth of the TL team's knowledge to be able to make all these references lol
"Elite And Dangerous"
Get the fuck outta here
I JUST WANT THE KUPO NUTS
then i suggest you check the HW clan vendor to make sure there isnt anything there
unless you haven't done the SHB quest

quest bugs are very rare, so yeah, double check everything
hi, when using FFRestoreUI in Gshade little lights in the Crystarium has a box around them. any way to fix this while keeping it on?
is "keep ui" at the very top and "restore ui" at the very bottom
yeah
don't think there's a fix for this that i know of
this would not impact those particles.
fair enough i thought you meant only those
I mean you should have restore UI at the bottom regardless
sure but that's not what was asked
i'm not aware of a solution for that and i experience the same issue
done, and yeah its still there
i think it's just how gshade impacts light or smth
Hey, do we know if the Tropaios weapons are staying after the season change, or are those being swapped out as well?
Season ONLY affects ranked
nothing else
Plus the trophy shop should basically never remove things
we don't know if the tropaios stuff will be switched out next series
Wording is very important kids
Thanks y'all o7
hola, on eureka, if there is a player higher level then the other, challenge log wont count for them? bc the one person is to high ?
it will count if they achieved credit by tagging the mob and it's within their level range accroding to the challenge log
which is equal or higher than iirc
'credit' is recorded with aggro
hmm, my partner did some solo and it still didnt count
some did count at the beginning together, but then nothing been added to her log record
we are in the same party, i am maxed lvl but she is just at the beginning there, i believe bc of it, it doesnt count?
even if she is doing it by herself doesnt count
have her go solo and see what happens
Lower case
ok
You're also missing the copy after the crosshotbar
ahhh i see
/Crosshotbar copy job # job #
thank you
Or /chotbar works to
best uses of gil when you hit the cap on the free trial?
ty
why the crysta payment for sub renewal not showing at my dashboard?
try different browser, incognito
can you do born again anima with a different job?
Not while you’re already doing it with a job
As has always been the case with the anima stuff
do i need to have a sub to download the game?
Does anybody know the best way to level up from 53 to 60?
dungeons
You got 30 free days when you bought it
Did you not register your game yet
!faq altlvlguide
Ty fam
im on steam version 💀
!faq mogstation
So you didn’t register it, got it
can i not change my steam account to mogstation?
You put your code into mogstation
Regardless if you're steam or not
Everyone goes through mogstation
Right click game > steam/cd keys
already used
Starter edition first
Then endwalker
Your mogstation account will say what you currently own under account status
And hopefully you’re a EU account, because if you’re not those codes are useless
so to renew i just buy this?
oh sure
Okay, so you have already registered those codes
then yes, you buy sub time
!faq subpriceeu
why tf would you need to make 40 characters?
fair enough
How good is a paladin as a tank
Is paladin easier to play as a tank
pretty mid tbh
Warrior is without a doubt the easiest and gnb and drk are somewhat busier
I'd say pld sits between there somewhere
None of them are hard mind you
I know I've been trying drk and he feels more complicated than like gunbreaker
None of the tanks is terribly complicated tbh
Just gotta take the time to learn
I must not get dark knights skills then because I feel like I survive more as gb than drk
There is always a chance you are doing something wrong, but that can be corrected of course
DRK is squishy until 70 because you don't get your short cd migitation skill until 70
wait we can whale on msq to be finished?
No, only past the non-current expansion

Okay I feel like he does not have a lot of damage mitigation skills rn
You’d still have to level up to 80 to continue
Or buy a skip which is another $25
he has enough for any content he needs to be in, though he needs more help from healer than PLD or WAR
Yeah DRK just isn't the greatest until 70 because non-standard skill distribution. They did fix it up somewhat by changing the second AoE from 72 to 40 but it's still stinky poo poo leveling
You'll be fine even without tbn
It's just a matter of practice and spacing cds
TBN is just really nice to also have on top of that
Do you guys have like a basic rotation layout for him
wait did tanks not get a 2nd aoe until shb?!?!?
only DRK used to be
Technically yes because SHB was the great tank rework
but in terms of leveling DRK is the only one who had to be past 70
Dark had a lot of aoes before then, just not the combo ender
theres a skip?
That’s what you just asked about
It was just 1 aoe until shadowbringers... But drk had their aoe at 72 as opposed to 40/45
and its good to know its only past lines
!faq skips
Tales of Adventure: <EXPACNAME> This item skips the story quests on the character you get it on to the end of the expansion listed. All the main story quests and aether current quests up to that point will be completed. It will not increase your character's job levels. Any MSQ rewards missed can be obtained at the calamity salvager or from the market board except the free fantasia, which is forfeit. You will also receive 10 silver chocobo feathers and 500k gil in platinum pieces.
Tales of Adventure: One <JOBNAME>'s Journey This item increases a given job to level 80. It will not skip your story progress to level 80. You cannot use this if you've already completed the level 80 job quest for that given job. You will also receive a full set of ilvl530 gear and some accessories as well as 500k gil in platinum pieces.
DISCLAIMER: DO NOT HARASS PEOPLE ABOUT WANTING TO USE/PURCHASE SKIPS
Pld didn't get a damaging aoe until stormblood
Do you guys have a link or something for rotation for drk knight so I can see it
But again that’s spending $50 for like no real reason
Weskabler on YouTube for levelling rotations
!faq thebalance
ty
Ty
DRK rotation is simple since its literally just 1 combo and using your off globals
yeah it is a 'hit off cd' stuff with some bigbrain resource management here and there
yea but isnt there content that comes w all those? i dont wanna miss out on anything lol
The exact same content you’d get by just playing the game
it's a skip + some gil to make up for it
there's nothing extra to it unless i'm not interpretting the same way as you are
im just trying to learn what that was for
If you want to buy them, go ahead
im just saying there’s like no functional difference between that and doing the story yourself
yep
ok
i would not recommend a skip if you care at all about the story though
it's one of the main draws of the game
yeah this game has a strong emphasis on the main story
Yeah you’d have like 0 idea of what’s going on in EndWalker
? whats that supposed to mean
i mean ideally you dont skip so you learn about your job slowly
instead of everything at once
Bees knees is a dance in game
So it sounds like something else
Never heard of it
i promise ff didnt invent
Why would a bee have good knees?
bees knees are good bc they use them to do things
and they support their colony w their knees and wings
you even more op if you a bees whos knees are good but also the elbows
hey, if I have the free trial through the square website, and I buy endwalker on steam, can I redeem that code on mogstation without any issues?
You need to buy starter edition on steam first
But yes
Non steam trial to steam is the only time you can swap
okay sweet, thanks!
someone said the pvp season is ending today? Do we have to spend our crystals now?
oh so just for like ranking?
nothing else change?
Literally just ranking
oh cool
That's what the (ranked) season is
ah, ty
is there a macro that changes your glamour plate?
I remember seeing someone mention that you can seperate the bosses health bar and their cast/status bar in the settings. how do I get to that? I can't find it
tysm
is there a pf chat :o?
no
there's no general PF chat. There's party chat that you can chat in when you join a party in PF, or if you need to contact the party lead you can send them a tell
but no place where you can post your pf m guessing?
/shout
XD
Uh, PF?
We have server specific recruitment channels
But they won't have the traffic you need to fill a pf
More for long term recruitment
if i have 2 duties qued up does it jsut put me in the first one available ?
Yeah whichever fills first
kk cool thanks
i need to unlock astro in order for it to lvl same lvl as my summoner?
what happens if i unlock it when summoner is already 90 ?
Is there a way to have a universal HUD Layout for ALL classes so you don't have to make a new one for every job?
What? No
Astrologian has nothing to do with summoner
Scholar and summoner share levels
But you’d still have to do the job quests for the one you ignored
my summoner is 33 and scholar is still lvl 0
Unlock it then
will it be instant lvl 90 if i unlock it when my summoner hits 90 ?
^
alright, then no need to unlock it for now
I don’t know why you wouldn’t, because dps queues suck at times
We have until 6.2 to get the armor right? The series reset is just rank?
you have months to get the armor because it will still be around for next series
Understood, I was 24 and I’m out for a 4th party and people in my FC were like this is the last day to get it so I wanted to check with you guys
Its not a big deal since my hotbar reverts when I dismount, but why does this happen?
trying to finish up my zodiak weapon with the rise and shine quest but I can't seem to accept it. my understanding is i need to have it equipped, and need the flawless alexandrite, book of skylight, zodium, and zodiak scroll items. I've done all of this but still can't accept it it keeps telling me i need the weapon equipped
Mount actions replacing hotbar 1, it’s a thing in the hotbar settings
Also affects fete actions if you do those
when should Macrocosmos be used?
immediately after a mechanic that does a shitton of group-wide damage
or before massive healing checks to heal it up immediately
see: life's agonies in p3s
did you do all the books yet
wait no book of skylight is different
sec
i just figured it out
there's another step i ahd to talk to jalazan through a different option first
yup super frustrating
Is it better to form a cluster farm party with 4 members outside of Bozja and then recruit the rest inside the instance?
People will join in the instance
Will the Makai sets disappear after maintenance tomorrow?
Makai sets were not given an end date during their announcement. If/when the event does end, they’ll tell us months ahead of time.
The Garo event has nothing to do with PVP seasons/series
omg I forgot that you don't have to level SMN manually if you leveled SCH
new DPS class here we goooo
Can I transfer back to my original world when I transfer to the other world? Let's say I created my account on Tonberry and wanted my friends is on Garuda. When I transfer to there can I go back to Tonberry?
Cause Tonberry is max on character creation. Don't know if that changes anything
World visit is still a thing
Don’t waste money on transfers when you don’t need to
^
unless you have a very specific reason to transfer like joining an FC full of friends it doesn't matter
If Tonberry is congested it might mean that there's a bit of a queue for world visits. But you'll still be able to go there even if character creation is disabled.
It’s also not congested btw, transfers just can’t be done until after the maint because they’re adding worlds
ok
I mean as long as I can raid with my friend then I'm good
Ah, then it's just occasionally busy. That's no real issue then. 😄
yeah
Yeah, you don't need to be on the same server to raid together. Just for Free Company activities, really.
cross-world play is a thing
i raid with friends from balmung and brynhildr whilst i'm on zalera
will reward series go away after maintenance?
Season ≠ series
oh so the series reward like the armor can still be unlocked?
niceee
The Facet gear sets on the marketboard should all be dyeable reskins of Diabolical gear
Hmm, looks like some of them are Yafaemi instead of Diabolic
yeah it's half and half for certain classes, hopefully it's for the right class though. what set are you asking for in particular?
Yeah Facet is the only reskin of Diabolic gear currently
What's the % chance of Lost Death actually working, out of curiosity?
Cause...it did not work for me, lol
It scales based on the HP% of the enemy and if you’re using a specific essence
!action essence of the ordained
!action Lost Death
KOs target. The less the target's HP, the greater the chance of success.
Spirit of the Ordained Effect: Chance of success is increased
This action does not share a recast timer with any other actions. Furthermore, the recast timer cannot be affected by other actions.
Combine these two for best chances
If you're death farming just bring multiples of it to reset it's cooldown by replacing it
Can get 3 off in a sleep
You also want to use a long CC ability like Sleep
I killed Smok on the second try luckily
Is Megashiba the only mount that has emotes associated with it?
Yeah like every Tribe mount has something
Mostly because you use said actions in the quests
Literally anything drops it
Oh ok!
CE’s are the solo things
So just cluster farm again
Are these as hard to get as the first 3, cause the first 3 set of memories took me quite a while...
No
I literally got all bitters via cluster farming for all relics
The reds were the worst cause I didn't spend much time in z3
When do I transition to Zadnor for the relic farming, cause I'm done with the BSF MSQ
you don't
in fact for that step you're referring to, the fastest way is to spam hell's lid
I cant remember what level Hells Lid was, so I may or may not be able to cheese with BLU
70
it's a L70 dungeon
and yes you can freeze vibe check the trash beside the demon walls
does anyone know if you still get rewards for that dungeon if you unsync?
We wouldn’t say to use BLU, if we 100% know it couldn’t be used
All bozja steps need sync
ok then yeah BLU party best option then
Good thing I invested time into BLU, thank you!
The step I was referring to isn't the hells lid step
That's for emotions
You need to get artifacts from DR/POTD first
he said he needs to do DR again --> I interpreted this as him saying he's finished that step
You need to wait 10 mins between each DR Queue Pop, right?
Everyone has to do DR twice cause the steps didn't start until after doing the first time
oh yeah that's true actually, cause the timeworn artifacts step requires you to finish the entire questline up to zadnor
and part of that questline needs a DR kill
No
And FCs
okay sweet
Is there a way of retrieving the crafter's name after storing an item in the glamour dresser? Just noticed they disappeared and remember that my friends crafted stuff but their name no longer appears on the items.
No, it even says that signatures are removed in the text box before you put it in
Ah, never read it. Just skip it lol. Thank you
Silly question, but I have allowances but I don't have any leves I can do.. is this because I am at the wrong city to nab them from?
I am in Gridania at the moment.
Pretty sure the starting leves are in their respective city for the crafters
So should have some in limsa for bsm
Is it possible to buy up material until max level in a crafting profession? 
Anyone know who this is?
ShB boss
A dungeon boss from Shadowbringers
5.3 Dungeon
Msq dungeon or?
I’m trying to level my crafting professions and I am wondering if it’s faster to just buy the quest required gear instead of crafting it
Sure, you can buy finished items from the market board and turn them in for levequests or grand company deliveries all the way up to max level.
i mean if you skip the grind to get the items then ofc its faster
Or buy materials and craft the items yourself, if that's what you prefer.
but it may be decently expensive
There aren’t any optional dungeons in ShB patches
So just continue doing the story dude
Do you mean as in Blu mage logs
Because you have to beat carnival stages
Yeah
I don’t think you unlock the log until you beat the level 60 quest
Seen like 4 in pf today alone
Does anyone know of a wiki that has a bit more accurate information? I keep finding inaccurate and/or incorrect coords for monster locations ☹️
This is the site I'm currently using for context: https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Beastkin_Blood
Alr
Use Gamerescape over consolegameswiki
It’s more accurate in most scenarios
got it. thank you.
Also Beastkin blood can be bought from vendors if you need a lot of it
The CRP and ALC guild vendors sell it
Quick question about born again anima for the relic quest I'm charging up the anima glass with a9s about how many runs will it take to finish this?
21
Like 20 at the worst
Ok I thought so
Not how anima works
time to throw on a movie and do it B)
The bonus is just random
oh it's not like zodiac
then just do 21 runs 
i've literally never gotten a bonus so i thought it was just like zodiac for bonus but ey i learned something new that i wont care about 
Plus i'm doing it as drk so it'll be slower than a dps
I mean that’s how anima worked for me
and i assume I have to do it with the relic weapon equipped?
When the last boss dies so yes
Another silly question:
Is there any way to hide this additional information without holding the alt key?
whens maintenance?
#lodestone-news-na or !maint in #kupo-bot-spam
im looking to upgrade my free trial to the complete edition, should I buy rn from steam for a 20% discount or wait for a discount on the SQ store
Is your money
what
It's your money, your decision
The real question is if you wanna use steam or not
of course it is, but im asking a question to make an informed decision
I dont mind, but if you believe there'll be a sale in the coming for the SQ version I dont mind waiting either
there isnt a huge difference between steam or non steam
and we have no idea when the next sale will potentially be for non-steam
alrighty
the only major thing of not about steam is that steam locks you into buying thru steam
non-steam lets you be a bit more flexible since there's more third party sellers
There isn't a set schedule for non steam sales so no way to predict
tbh I havent found any other third party sellers
Green man
Gmg
Amazon, greenmangaming
amazon, greenman, newegg, etc
Man we both failed that 
wedding invite times are shown in YOUR time right?
Ye
o shit 
lmao get goin
The MCH heavenward relic weapon
Looks like a resource gauge
The final two steps, exactly
Mch relic for heav, gotcha. Bless!
So I just finished stormblood and I was wondering if 23 days is enough time to complete the post stormblood patch quests, and shadowbringers. I wanna keep playing but it would really suck if my sub ran out halfway through shadowbringers or something
More than enough time
23 should be enough imo, though that also kind of depends on how many hours you can play and how slow you're going
Perfect
but i would be really surprised if you needed all 23 days
I play for a solid 3-6 hours a day, depending on whether i take a break when my internet cuts mid cutscene lmaoo
I managed to beat both in 30 days while getting distracted, so take that as you will
Oh wow, i should be fine then haha
I dont really do anything else besides story, Im not very good at all the group stuff lmao
are there any squadron members i should replace? or maybe a specific chemistry i should try to go for?
so i can clear the mission that unlocks captain rank (lvl50)
You could replace one of your tanks and/or one of your healers if you wanted to go through the trouble of grinding two new units up to level 60.
do you need only 1 healer and 1 tank?
Mostly it's just about figuring out the right combination and trainings.
You don't actually need a 1/1/2 party setup at all for any of the missions.
It's "whatever team has the right stats"
^
You could theoretically clear anything with four dps if you could get the stats right.
you only need proper party compositions for the squadron dungeons
missions are whatever works best
Your set-up of classes is similar to mine, though I think I have a Thaumaturge instead of a 2nd Conjurer
I'd honestly just recommend getting all of your units to level 60, then play around with team training until you get all three stats into the right range.
As for chemistries, keep doing the 2nd and 3rd categories of missions and accept pretty much whatever for the recruits that don't have any chemistries
Having stat boosting chemistries based on your compositions can't hurt, though.
and for the ones that do, look towards either stat boosting ones to help with missions or currency boosters to get more overall benefit (Gil/Seals/MGP/Scrips)
So like, that +15% with a marauder that your arcanist has is good.
Just pay attention to the activation requirements of the chemistry
actually no, physical is their weakest stat, so a +15% is only 3 or 4 points
better if it boosted their blue or yellow stat
Depends on what they need for the mission, ultimately, though.
but who knows, that +3 may be all that's needed
And if they have to retrain anyways, then that's a little less phys they can retrain.
So, before I go farming for these bitter memories, they drop from literally anything, including CEs?
Yep, just less often than the red/blue/yellow memories
What would you reccommend? Get a cluster farm party together and go to work?
I got most of mine with Cluster farms and CEs I think
and then the occasional leveling roulette
Didnt take you too long, I hope?
Don't really remember honestly. And I did it when it first came out so the rates have probably been buffed
Just to confirm, maintenance is starting in another 9 hours from now?
Yes, 9 hours from now.
Ah gotcha thks
I forget where to go to trade in clusters
Vendor in BSF
By the training dummies yeah
Thank you both, I just bought both the riding maps
is it possible to change classes? I picked conjurer but didn't realize that was a healer based one
oh that's not so bad
And complete the class quest.
Absolutely. You just need to go to the respective guild to get the soul crystal.
Then you can be any class you wish.
sweet, thank you
You don't get soul crystals from guilds.
by then i might like conjurer too but thought id ask 🤷♂️
You get them from job trainers, at level 30.
also, how are jobs different from classes?
Honestly even healer classes are basically dps that can also heal.
oh good to know
A job is like an upgrade of a class. More abilities, a different name, etc.
I see
It's an older system, going from classes to jobs.
After the base game, ARR, they got rid of the "class" system entirely.
Nah, that's the role - healer, phys ranged, melee, caster, tank.
And of course expansion jobs don't have a class at all.
what class would be best for just using magic? that's originally what i was thinking conjurer was
Arcanist or thamaturge
But... Is that not the same?
For starting classes, either Arcanist (Summoner) or Thaumaturge (Black Mage).
Do you want to be a rez bitch?
Both of which are in different cities
Oh i see
No, because "Conjurer" is a class, but "healer" is the role.
thanks for helping!!
xiv is weird.
You'll be able to unlock the other cities by getting to level 15 in the story - about 2-4 hours of playtime.
That's putting it lightly buddy
Classes used to make sense when you borrowed skills from other classes you knew
But everyone hated it and that was changed.
Like 8 years ago
This might be why I thought otherwise. I played 1.0 for a short bit.
@earnest hare You can also walk to Uldah, the thamaturge city
But that’s just a bunch of time spent for no real reason
Provoke wasn't given you to like it is now, you had to lvl PLD even if you wanted to use it on WAR.
One of many examples.
@earnest hare Just be aware that when you pick up a new class, it will start from level 1, so you'll have to level it up to your story level if you want to use it. For pre-dungeon levels, you can use the hunt log, which will be unlocked after you finish the level 1 class quest for your starting class.
I still don't understand what's the difference between arcanist. Conjurer and thaumaturge in English, but I guess no one really knows because it's some fantasy word
They’re different disciplines
Arcanist basically uses fancy equations and geometry for their spells
Are there any LAs that help with Patriot in particular?
Lost Reraise.
Make sure to trigger the hidden mines so they explode on everyone
Lost phoenix downs are also useful to bring
er, arcanist is a real word.
Typically (and this is more of a fantasy genre thing, not the real-world definitions), a conjurer deals in elemental magicks and illusion, a thaumaturge deals in sorceries and dark magicks, and an arcanist is something like a scholar of magicks who can use them with the assistance of spell patterns.
they're more than likely using it in the sense of 'someone who studies arcana', though you could make an argument that the other more historical definition has usage in ff14 in that its 'a craftsman with secret processing knowledge' though generally that definition is for porcelain making
Why is it telling me the level is too low when the item is 580 and it says the materia is lvl 420?
You're capped on Crit and can't put in any more
Read the stat caps
if you look at the bottom of the window it shows you the stat values
and which stats are capped
The higher secondary stat on an item is always at the stat cap
Ah! Okay. Thanks. ^^
Hmmm I need some dictionary for these useless words that I had interest on
I mean, a lot of it is context, and reading/watching/playing a LOT of fantasy-genre content.
You don't really need to know what they mean.
It’s not that complicated, they have different names because the magic they do is different
nah I mean I just want to know more, I am not making it complicated
Arcanists use fancy math and shapes to summon their magic, Conjurers and Thaumaturges draw/manipulate from their body and environment
like I want to know what does this mean in this and whats different in that books or story
There's NPCs at each class guild that gives a basic rundown of the class and how they work/history
Like I said, the definitions I gave are the result of the fact that I read/watch/play a TON of fantasy genre content, and have learned how to understand the context. You could gain a similar understanding if you wished.
Up to 2 volumes of it now.
to contiune is off-topic, because it's no longer ff14 only, so I might just stop here
yeah about to do that, I need some motivation to read fatasy novel or stuff
Help! I wanna renew my sub so I can play but its unavailable due to maintenance lol
Just wait until the maint ends, there really isn’t much else you can do
yeah and I think you lost money if you renew now, because you can't play
maintenance hasn't started yet, unless it's the mogstation itself under maintenance
oh relogged and its fine. when does maintenance start?
8.5 more hours
Follow up question. Why is lvl 6 materia better than lvl 7 and lvl 9?
I don't notice any difference in the descriptions
7 and 9 are for over melds
Because of how overmelding works in this game.
do haste buffs from relic armors work in zadnor?
thanks 
how does pre-pull tend to work in NA? looking to get back into doing the EW savage content but last time i did it was on EU where everyone had position based macros
from what i've seen so far people aren't doing like M1 and R1 and that stuff so i don't know what to expect
NA likes to dance around waymarks to figure out positions.
Macros aren't used as often as they should be
NA
Macros
Pick one
Yeah I'll be completely honest, I can't remember the last time I've seen a position macro in my extreme farm parties
for all of EW and probably all of SHB
😰

Hi peeps, recently got all of my crafters and gatherers to 90. I'm trying to figure out what kinds of things I should be gathering / crafting to make some good gil. Any ideas or general advice? thanks
check your local marketboard
No one will tell you what to sell on the marketboard, because that'll eat into their own profits
and figure it out yourself, supply and demand is per server really
no one can tell you
you know, thats a good point lmao @fossil trench
Depends on your marketboards, but I'm expecting a big shake up with DC visit coming after next maint.
unless they are on the same DC/server 😄
hmm
If you want consistent income there's a variety of decent leves you could do in your spare time.
Assuming you manually gather everything, it's anywhere from 1.5 to 2mil for a stack of 100 HQ turn ins
oh wow, thats not bad
How do I tell how many people are in instanced content?
should be player search
Weird question, but can anyone name any Orchestrion Rolls with solo (or near so) Acoustic Guitar?
probably the tempest one if thats an orchestrion roll
So I haven't played since a few months pre EW and I never even played or level scholar but I am considering it so I have a regen and shield healer I know depending on what ever is needed
Has anything changed with Scholar?
Did they get any major changes with pets like SMN?
Wdym?
The underlying things governing pet behaviour was changed and is universally agreed upon that it was a massive QoL improvement.
And it's seen the most benefits from the 1.5s cast time on dps spells
The fairy actually uses stuff when you tell it to use it
Opposed to it coming out fucking 20 seconds later
it functions the same
Ik I could level both but when I get back to the game in a few days I'm debating on which one to try first or which one would fit me more
I main AST now so
whichever one you like more
Between Sage and Scholar
does anyone know if East or South games queue faster for mahjong?
Was there a crafting ability that used to instantly max out quality and progress if you were 10 lvls above the recipe? or am I goig insane
!action trained eye
just quality
oh lol dang okay ty
though with anything you vastly overlevel, you can generally use just one Groundwork
maybe need Veneration to buff it, and maybe a 2nd groundwork
yeah I'm only a few lvls above it my bsm is 84 and i was doing the dwarfs beast tribe lol
how do u fly on your airship
i right clicked it and it said its available
do i have to be level 20 before i can use it
oh wait do i need to use it at the landing LOL
Can’t fly in ARR until you finish it
You got a minion
If you're referring to the wind up airship
It's just a toy that follows you
Has no real function
for BLM do you use flare anymore after getting high fire II?
well true but flare is worth 2 casts of HF2 (accounting for the buff), so it using all mana and doing less potency to each enemy it hits doesnt seem worth it anymore
fr?
HF2 buffs flare
ohh
No it is. You can also get two of them in before swapping phases as well, assuming you left yourself one Umbral Heart for the first one.
yeah thats what i've been doing
!buff Enhanced Flare
!action High Fire 2
Deals fire damage with a potency of 140 to target and all enemies nearby it.
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III and removes Umbral Ice
Duration: 15s
Astral Fire Bonus: Grants Enhanced Flare
Effect is canceled if Astral Fire ends.
yeah i was taking that into consideration
!action Flare
Deals fire damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 220 for the first enemy, and 40% less for all remaining enemies. Enhanced Flare Potency: 280
Additional Effect: Grants Astral Fire III
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed while under the effect of Astral Fire.
ah i was thinking since it drained mana and sent you into ice phase after two casts, it wouldnt be worth it anyymore
thx
It literally doesn't change anything
odd
Just your fire 2s actually fucking do something
And "40% less" means "60%", and if you take 60% of 280, that's 168 potency for all secondary targets
which is still more than HF2
Flare is good.
wait is it 40% less for each enemy or 40% less for all remaining targets
flare is love flare is life
oh i thought it went less for each target lol
Your targeted enemy takes full potency. All other targets in the area take reduced damage.
that makes more sense
Yeah, it's not a chain-spell, it's just a falloff thing.
eh, this wording exist in majority of job, wonder if you think like this for other skill as well
B3, Freeze, HF2, HF2, HF2, triplecast, flare, flare, repeat got it
- manafont flare
oh yeah, although i usually save that for bosses
Why, it comes off cooldown.
Literally losing free uses
ah, then ill do that then
Same with leylines
Bosses are pathetic as fuck and are downtime for trash
You blow everything on trash
You save tank.and healer resources
also because it's fun
by the time i lay down my leylines, the group usually moves tbh
Then do it sooner
i get a few seconds at most
When they stop
So, I solved that by using Aetherial Manipulation to scoot myself to the tank near the end of the pull
The moment the pull finishs then throw it down
ye i do that
so I can just toss ley lines and go ham
Trash doesn't die in 2 seconds to waste LL
AM is one of the most based skills in the game, I look for any opportunity to use it lol
yesss
just zzzzoooooOOOOP suddenly black mage
without it, BLM would be so much worse
instead of having to walk, itll just throw you 0.5-1 seconds off of your gcd
One of my friends will shout when I zoop to her because it startles her
AM doesn't throw you off your gcd
Weave it properly
You have a literal fuck ton of instants to weave it
im awful at weaving lol
Then improve
but i meant
That takes practice.
just toss a banked Xeno/Foul and zoop
Or proc
Also we have, like, so many instant casts lol
the only way that you are far away from your ally is to stay away from the tank or boss
Two Tripcast charges, two Sharpcast charges for F3/T3, Swiftcast, Xeno
true, i should practice a bit more tryna get uptime
we are rolling in instants
i clear well, but my uptime leaves a lot to be desired
That also takes practice and repetition, yeah.
what zone in BSF gave the red memories for the first step again
maybe because i usually try to do new fights all the time
Always save 1 triple and always bank your poly stacks when learning new fights
Or even just doing stuff casually
Whats the fastest way to get crystal sand?
Scrips
ARR EX materials can be a good alternative depending on prices
they're also very easy to solo with any job above 70
buy out the cheap ones, solo for the expensive ones
RNG gonna RNG tho
and deynth helps get more from the equipment drops
not terribly
Not trying to spend 100k for 4 rn
Feel like 1/10 when I go do them for my WT
Out of curiosity, why is Antitower the optimal choice for Bitter Memory farming?
Ok ill give it a shot
It’s fast
I'd honestly just farm the EX mats instead of buy them
it's the weakest level 60 dungeon that doesn't have a specified item level sync
Also yeah, Antitower is the fastest 60 dungeon by a long shot.
Averages around 11-ish minutes or so.
I got one bitter memory from the red chocobo, and I get one bitter memory from daily leveling roulettes, so if I am 100% lucky, I will only need to do 4 Antitower runs at minimum.
Are the GC ranks above captain unobtainable?
Yeah. Captain is the max rank.
hmmm
git it for the lootbox 
Anyone know if the time in Wedding invitation is localized or is it wonk and uses Server Time?
Always local time
nice! Thank you!
is sprout status character-specific or account-wide?
Character specific
[EW SPOILER] Is this just the area at night or is it a unique weather for the area that may/may not have rare marks spawning?
it's just weather, pretty sure no hunt is involved
Can anyone help me with getting a few blue mage spells?
I'm trying to get the tan Tara one
Can’t you use duty support? If not, just make a PF
Speaking of that, how dedicated do you have to be to get Ixion?
Just get gold rank twice
...I'll just say I bought the mount from a mogtome event.
I'm rarely lucky with being on during when it spawns
ixion spawns pretty frequently, get on some discord or linkshell that relays it and you'd be good
you cna also just get it via faux hollows/khloe
I have never seen Odin in the Black Shroud, either tbh.
Have you actually joined a hunt tracking server, because that’d help
No I have not
it's not that dedication intensive
you just wait for them to tag @ Ixion role havers and then just go to the world with it
Dumb question but what is being removed with new patch?
Pretty sure nothing besides Season 1 of EW Ranked PVP ending, giving participants portrait elements and trophies depending on your rank.
Savage unlocks for this tier
the next tier of the AR isnt until 6.3 or something like that, right?
Oh, so I don't need to grind 13 more CC for the mount achievements?
Yeah. Odd numbered patches get alliance raids. Evens get raid tiers.
That's completely unrelated to the Season
If you mean the GARO event, that's likely staying until the next expansion at minimum
The first time it ran for 3-ish years, from Patch 3.5 to 5.1
Oh thank God, I was worried about missing out on the glams and mount
I've been on vacation last two weeks
So how should I be leveling up my alts? Just came back from a break
!faq altlvlguide
Heard thanks!
Also how long would you say is too long for dps queue for a dungeon?
Avg wise just second opinion
FYI you can learn blu spells when unsynced too, that's how I learnt the tam tara one
15+ minutes
Ok thanks!
Has a release date for 6.2 been set yet from the previous LL?
no
Alright
We'll basically get a soft confirmation of it once we have the date of the 2nd part of the LL, since those are usually 2 weeks before the patch.
estimated late august
What's the best melee to pair with ninja?
hey, can i still get the Archfiend Set from the series malmstone after the maintenance?
in what context
yes, because its tied to SERIES, not SEASON
so Series 2 won't start yet?
series 2 is 6.2
Dps output
okay thank you!
I predict there might be an alternative way to get it even after the series is over.
FF14 doesn't have a habit of discontinuing/timegating something and leaving it unattainable
in savage? in duty support? or what
Dsr
it stays until 6.3 then gets cycled out
Ninja helps all DPS equally and nothing in particular specifically helps ninja
Mmm the ninja main guy kinda said rdps is really low with reaper/nin so im curious what's best
I don't see the correlation between ninja and reaper.
