Ah ok thanks for the info
are materia ix worse than vi-viii?
no
matiera ixs can be used for overmelding
xs cant
what's over melding
Melding additional materia over the number of slots on a piece of gear.
You can only do it with crafted gear
What emote is this for female miqote?
And you can only meld up to an additional three pieces.
wait so battle job ix are bad then?
I want to say it's like /surprise or /startle? It could be /panic.
Not crafter gear, crafted gear.
cant use xs viis or vis
ah yeah see the issue there
pentamelding is primarily for week 1 savage and crafting BiS
I was wrong. It's /aback.
Nyope, not working, that's not even an emote
/surprise is though, and /panic, not the right ones though
Nope. It's from Ballroom Etiquette - Bewilderment which you can get from the Fashion Report vendor.
when you story skip, which GC does it put you in?
Starter city
kk
Is there ingame somewhere a tab where i can find informations when and where i can do the next fishing mastery quest?
!faq msqtracker
-
Your current or next Main Scenario Quest. These unlock a majority of content in the game and MUST be done.
-
An important Side Quest. This can be your Class and Job Quests, Side quests that unlock big features, or Side Quests that are REQUIRED to continue the MSQ. Look here if you can't continue your MSQ due to needing to complete a duty or sidequest.
By default the MSQ Tracker is located at the top-left of your screen.
Typically Job Quests are contained within their expansions separately. If you have not reached the next expansion in
, you need to continue the main story quests until you reach the next expansion, denoted by giant letters naming said expansion.
well after the last jobquest it said...i can continue when i reach shadowbringers...i am at shadowbringers but i forgot after what quest i can continue
In ShB you don't have job quests anymore. You have role quests.
You'll unlock them at level 71 MSQ.
i mean lifeskill quests for fisher miner and botany
those don't exist for shb or later.
lifeskill?
well for me fishing, gathering and crafting are lifeskills
Profession
Every skill past 70 is earned purely through leveling up.
huh, never heard of lifeskills before
For crafters, only the 60-70 quests give skills. For gatherers it’s 50-70
That's like what you'd call them irl.
more of an old mmo term, but really just means professions/non combat skills
well i am old and english is not my native language ...so for me its lifeskills since i never used "profession" before 😂
well i'd call them jobs irl but semantics samantics
we call them DoL for short so you could use that
Disciple of Land*
just in case others get confused
And crafting classes are DoH - Disciple of Hand
so and after 70 i dont get anymore Quests for fishing? like i said..i can remember something after i finished the last fishing quest...the quest will continue once you reach shb and some specific quest which i cant remember anymore
Starting with Shadowbringers, Job-specific quests get replaced with Role Quests, which cover multiple jobs at once.
For the non-combat role quests they’re split as BSM/ARM/GSM, CRP/LTW/WVR, ALC/CUL, BTN/MIN, and FSH
so i should check the crystalarium to find such role-quests for fsh?
Yep
Am I the only one who cannot start the game after the new update?
The only one in the entire world? Probably not.
But if you're asking if there's a general issue, then the answer is "no"
Hmm
if you're launching via XIVLauncher, you should try deactivating the experimental mode
No, I am reinstalling rn though
what content should i do after completing stormblood? like is there any sub questlines i need to do ? like crystal tower was or go straight to post stormblood and shadowbringer?
there isn't anything required, but
I recommend Omega
!faq contentunlock
Nothing is mandatory
Omega does have a good amount of references in endwalker
if you want to unlock omega raids, and do the alliance raids and trial series you can check there
You should do the Return to Ivalice raid series if you want to do Bozja in Shadowbringers.
i saw i could start omega and euroka or something like that
And Omega's got a followup sidequest in Endwalker post-game
yes but it is not mandatory
Eureka is stormblood relic zone
oh i see
hmmm and bozja is the shadowbringers relic zone?
yep
Relic and levelling zone
yeah, and require ivalice raid completion
so as long as i dont want these relics focusing on MSQ is ok
How can I uninstall the whole game, reinstalling the xpacs doesn't work
I just got the omega quest and did the first part
@shut galleon i seem to not be bale to patch also
It seems that ffxiv_dx11.exe was broken
ye did u find a way to fix?
You are not alone. I'm just not sure how to fix it either lol. I'm "repairing corrupted file data" right now. Going to see where it goes from there.
restarting my computer fixed it
That alone gave me the same error after a few minutes of downloads
is there any instanced area other than frontlines where mounts can be used?
Eureka and Bozja
And Diadem
explorer mode dungeons if you count those
oh well that's odd
I have a question regarding the porta decumana duty. At the very end, you get lb3, but will you still get lb3 if you pop lb1 earlier?
Ye
this has been my morning, i'm about to write FFXIV off until after lunch
yes, burn that LB1 or 2 you get before that
After trying to fix the corrupted files I started getting the above error. I just uninstalled, restarted computer and now it seems like it's downloading. I updated another game on Steam first, not sure if that forced Steam to realize it's connected to the internet. Fingers crossed, but won't know for sure for about 2 hours lol
okay, odd questions do you ahve ACT/Anemesis up? i found i had those up in the background and hadn't realized it.
was doing a last ditch attempt
DO NOT have ACT, Teamcraft, Anamesis, or any other tool that hooks into FF14, open when trying to update the game, it CAN break updates.
Just close them, and try updating again, if it still doesn't work, reboot, then try again, without opening any of them.
combat text on screen, there is no way to disable only healing? its either everything or nothing?
The flying text?
yeah sry called flyin here 🙂
Yeah, I'm pretty sure it's all or nothing.
I think I did have ACT still up. Didn't consider that may have been the problem. Thankfully after the full restart it seems to be going smooth now.
normally you can have other things up in the 'background', so to speak, but...apparently not this time...
Not from now on, ever, unless ACT (the ff14 plugin specifically) changes how they hook into the game.
This started a couple patches ago when SE changed how the game handles networking, they added compression.
ACT (ff14 plugin) had to change how they intercept game data, and unfortunately, it has consequences.
is fc chat functionable cross data center?
No
oof i see
ah i was not aware of this. ty
How long does it take SE support to unlink my FFXIV account from steam?
Should I wait until I get through ShB before leveling other jobs?
Up to you
At this point if you wanna wait to have all the levelling content you wanna finish Endwalker not shadowbringers
you can start leveling up other jobs with the tribe quests and roulettes if you want and don't need to with your main job, less time/resources wasted that way, but its not a big deal if you dont
heya setupit question about glamours
if i lets say have a chest piece (A) wich is my currently equiped armor for stats, but i want to put that appearance in the glamour chest to apply a dye true the chest is that possible without losing the gearpiece ?
Nothing is consumed when glamouring
Other than the prism used
Once you put an item on a glamour plate, you're Free to remove it from the dresser
i still don't understand the plates
A glamour plate is basically just a way to save glamours for multiple individual pieces of gear as a whole set to reapply at will instead of having to do it piece by piece.
Making your own glamour presets basically
Gear in chest > put on plate > remove gear
Stuff doesn't need to stay in the dresser to make the plate work
Once it's on a plate you can remove it to use it
at no point in the glamour process is your gear ever destroyed
you can always get it back
Glamour plates are, for all intents and purposes, just a macro for glamours.
now when pressing apply on the glamour plate it says unable to cast glamour from plate 1
Your equipped gear needs to be higher level than the glamour
yeah you can't cast a level 90 glam onto an 80 piece
is there any way to reenable the important quest header after you finished MSQ? Because I am kinda tired of having to look if I have a job quest or not....
...are you wearing anything on the base plate?
-_-
it looks like you're naked
yeh i wanted to see it the dye thing worked
you can't apply glamour to armor without actually wearing armor, sir
You need to actually have gear in to glamour
you need to wear gear at or above the level of the armor you are using for the glamour
if your glamour item is level 40, you need to have an item at or above level 40
Yes, in the same configuration (I think it's Display?) where you click to turn it off when you're done with MSQ, you can just untick that box.
glamour applies to specifically armor, a la transmog
so you can't just make a 'base' armor skin without wearing anything
so its similar to the transmog and the plates are just consumables for preset sets ?
They're not consumed
@lusty moon make sure you untick Hide when all quests complete.
Plates are infinite reuse
you put stuff into a plate, you can re-use it forever
Clear floor 100 in potd I believe
i mean glamour is specifically like armor transmog
like u can't just glam a helmet without a helmet on
also does casting glamour on an item consume the item you're taking the look from ?
no
the ONLY consumables in glamour are the prisms
if you put it in an armoire or glamour dresser, you can still get the item back
glamour prisms are consumed when you manually glam something or put it into the glamour dresser, in the latter case it is infinitely reusable
if you just keep the item in your inventory, its still there
and you may be thinking 'well it sounds like glamour dresser is the best way to glam my items'
and you owuld be correct
so basically the glamour dresser is a collection for pieces
Yes
can you pull the item back out or is it there as a permanent collection piece
You can get them back anytime
yes
It's just storage for items you want to use for glamour
does it also use glamour prisms when you use it from the dresser ?
No
no
That's the main benefit
It costs a prism to store there
so the prisms are just your on the fly armoire
Pretty much, yeah
Do you need a specific grand compagny rank to buy a personnal house ?
2nd lieutenant
1 prism to go into the dresser but no cost to use plates
Second lieutenant?
@open coral ok thanks
thanks
The first deep dungeon yes
is there a specific program that is preferred for being a bard that sounds like they are actually playing good music?
Midi player
im gonna be like the turd that got my stream VoD a copyright strike for having the Evangelion theme in it :c
Can we transfer server already or is that still unavailable?
probably wont be back until much closer to 6.2 if not on 6.2 (in my honest opinion)
Jesus
but ive been way wrong before
Man...
6.2 is only a little over a month away
Me sad! :*
anyone could gimme a tip on how else i could spend those White Gatherers' Scrips? already bought the whole outfit stuff and tools..but i keep getting more and more and already getting to the 2000 limit
Materia
master recipes if you havent gotten them
and i guess i should try to transmute them? since i get materia V or something
or whatever those are called for gatherers
glam 
Folklore books
thank you
folklore books?
they give spots to gather legendary nodes
ohh but i need those letters for the books
you get those with the scrips
You don't anymore
then you trade those for the books
Unless you go for current tier
or that, ive only done current so far
where can i buy %3 exp food, im free trial
Any food
The cheapest option is Raisins or Eggs, both of which can be purchased from any general goods vendor NPC
Any merchant who sells food
Okey ty 🙂
For spiritbonding quick im supposed to hit legendary nodes but the guide also says my gear needs to be fully pentamelded..
What materia level are you putting in the gear to pentameld it for cheap? Below 8?
Whatever is the cheapest you can find. 4 is usually available for peanuts.
Thank youu. And i can remove the cheap materia off my gear later? Or will it destroy the good materia i have in it too?
Materia are removed last-in first-out.
So you can slot in 2 good materia and then overmeld using cheap ones.
Awesome!
best way to level alternate jobs without msq?
!faq altlevelguide
specifically im playing drk
thanks
eyo boys and gals if i am on aither gilgamesh and my friend is on chaos louisoix can we play together?
nope
you or friend can make an alt on those servers
Not even once world visit is up, since you're on different regions.
i see . ok
why would they say "after this maintenance" only to have it up during next patch? it makes no sense
when they first said "after 6.18", that seemed plausible
not now though
They said they're evaluating it after the maintenance
The temporarily suspended Home World Transfer Service will be resumed after this maintenance depending on the operation status of the Data Center Travel system
is it possible to buy a glamour dresser for ur apartment
While "closer to 6.2" is a conservative guess, it's likely that server transfers will be re-enabled within a week.
No
f
Glamour dressers have too much data tied up in them, and all attempts to make them into furnishings have resulted in crashing the test servers.
Technically they only crash in one instance, when you try to move it while someone uses it
And it only takes 1 instance for it to be abused
See: people spam crashing the server when that fishing bug existed
how do i stop people from spamming the ping sounds in frontline since i can't blacklist then?
You can turn off system sounds
That should disable those sounds, but it will also affect your sound effects for your abilities as well.
you can also turn off sound from specific chats in log window settings iirc
Can't find it
Sound settings
Give me a sec, I'll check something.
Yeah, you can't mute the sounds in specific chats for <se.> sounds, but you can turn off system sounds in System Configuration > Sound Settings > Volume Settings.
That should mute the <se.> from PvP quickchat
I mean, if you don't want to just mute the system sounds, I guess?
You can mute them going into PvP, and unmute them out of it if it bothers you that much.
But as someone who is a veteran on frontline, don't
Those pings can mean a difference between losing and winning
People that do callouts in FL are performing a thankless task.
Should generally listen to them, not mute them.
Weird question but Does anyone like Abyssal Drain? Just wondering
It’s good in aoe
It's good aoe and healing in trash
Big heals
Um alright
Free aoe damage and free healing is always good
Cool cool, thanks
have you finished MSQ?
then don't worry about it
finish MSQ first
yes it gives you a basic set
but also you don't really need better gear anyway
Gives you gear at 89
!faq gearguide
For when you finish msq
35 minute PotD queue man this stuff is rough
Could be a bug, cutscenes should adjust to your wol's height. Is your height modded maybe?
Hm, I'd maybe send in a support ticket about it. Shouldn't happen.
a support ticket wont do anything for cutscenes
I know like max Au Ra guys are like 7ft and I'm pretty sure max broth arent bigger than them
If it's a bug it will...
but it's not
Like reporting bugs does lead to them being fixed lol
Is it worth it to buy a level story skip now
I've already completed a lot of things on my main and refuse to repeat them on alts
I mean why not just alt jobs on your main
It's tiring
it's your money ig
I know
if its an alt sure
I already got everything to level 80
still $50 though
Yeah that's the problem
but endwalker just came out
We can't judge how much $50 is worth to you.
WE DON'T PAY YOUR SUB
and dont skip to 90
REEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE
you only skip TO endwalker and skip to level 80
Fair
They'll go on sale in a year and a half...
How do I increase evalutaion rating on Fieldcraft leves?
Get more points by doing leves closer to your level
Go for the more difficult mat to get
if you super out level the leves you get 1 point regardless
nope, just go for the higher level item to gather
pretty much
alright, thanks
The act of getting mats increase it, so just increase the gathering rate
So you can get the harder mat more often
I did every gathering leve, you'll only get >1 point per gather when it's close to your level
There are skills to increase the gathering chance in those situtations
Jeeez have a problem, i joined ffxiv from console to pc and once in, i lost all my preset and HUD config, its ok HUD config and all option cuz are 2 different platform but even preset??? there is a way to transfer them or i have to make it all again 1by1?
Wrong place. Lol
Upload your settings on pc to the cloud at character select
And download on console
Settings are saved client side so you need to upload them to swap between devices
while playing scholar, how can i use my faery abilities????
By pressing the skill
mmmm i did it but seems it didnt work, i will try again thx
it can not be put in the hotbar
Wrong place
So if I boost am I still able to get the amaro mount
They're your skills
i cant drag it
How do i find out where to turn in a certain collectable? I got elpis stable. But i dont see which collectable appraiser will take it
!action whispering dawn
Orders faerie to execute Whispering Dawn. If Seraph is summoned, orders her to execute Angel's Whisper. Whispering Dawn /Angel's Whisper Effect: Gradually restores the HP of all nearby party members
Cure Potency: 80
Duration: 21s
You want the versions in the upper part of your actions and traits menu
It's a quest item
The versions at the bottom are the version that the fairy itself actually executes, which can’t be slotted
The versions above are the “order fairy to use x” ones which are the ones you want
So are there collectable that i can constantly mine for white scrips that dont have time limits?
Yes but they are inferior to doing timed nodes
Timed nodes basically have a rotation where their windows are up one after another in a loop
So you do a circuit where you go around gathering from each timed node in order as they come up
Oooh i see. I didnt notice the times were in the gathering log
are the servers up already?
they've been up for hours
my game is failing to update
So question is there a place I can go to where I can find people who would like to play through the game with me? My friends kind of flaked on me and don't want to play anymore, but I was enjoying having pwople to go through the game with.
Can I gather Studium Deliveries as Miner, and turn them in as Botanist for the EXP?
does anyone have any experience with stream lag? I can't get it to resolve
have to turn them in on the job you picked them up on
for your miner, yes
for bot
Yep you 100% can
Is there a reason why my gear isnt gaining any spiritbond? Im harvesting the alien onions... it hasnt gone up at all...
You need stuff in the Lv90 legendary nodes
Arint those all timed?
Ugh i shouldnt of bought this 590 gear then
It's bis gear atm
Speaking of gatherer gear
Is the purple scrip gear the best gear I can get if I don't want to shell out gil? For left side at least
Well u don't have to shill if u craft it urself-
But yea
Figured, just wanted to check. Ty
I would but my crafter are hella underlevelled
does anyone know a copy paste hotbar macro that can give it to me ?
/Hotbar copy JOB # JOB #
First job is what you're copying, second is one you're pasting to
Lowercase hotbar
on adifferent hud layour hotbar
You can't interact with different layouts
To get the Samurai class do I need to be in Stormblood story wise?
No
You just need to own the Stormblood expansion, and reach level 50 with another class.
hw jobs are the only ones msq locked
Only heavensward jobs are story locked
And they learned everyone fucking hated it
And never did it again
I have the DLC applied already and in the quest requirements it says I have to install stormblood and so on
any people out here who would help me finishing the bozja story. Need to do Delubrum Reginae and dont find people since hours :x
Put up a PF
i have 🙂
Isn’t it evening in Europe?
Steam doesn’t require extra steps, windows version also requires code entry and relaunch.
mhh i thought you need 24 people
With the echo you don't need that many anymore
Just 1 party is enough, provided you use essences and actions to boost your damage
It scales to the number of people in the duty, plus echo nerfs it
Someone has even soloed it
More is still preferable for safety net and less individual pressure
mhh but i dont get an invite solo
But 8 people will crush it
And in the DF its not listet ^^
Doesn’t it have conditions?
maybe im just stupid
I’m not sure what you’re saying
Yes, so make a PF
Or use a discord server, there are major ones for each datacentre for eureka and Bozja
Hi folks, how can I have a very big axe as a warrior?
There are an endless amount but they’re generally 50+
like after level 50 for exaple?
You’ll run into them eventually
oh I see
!iglam monstrorum axe
whats the best dungeon to do at exactly level 50? for quick lvling
I am still lvl 38, will wait for them then
Aurum Vale
Aurum Vale
cheers
for leveling dps (after roulettes) is it still best to queue for highest level dungeon then do fates, or is going in with trusts more efficient now?
is there an account-wide bank?
No
Trusts still basically scale to finish dungeons at 30 minutes or has that been changed since ShB?
Still timed out to a steady clear time.
thanks, last question then 😄 Is there an achievment or any unlocks for taking the time to level up the trusts or is it just for solo dungeons?
Trusts are literally the same thing as the regular dungeons, just with NPCs instead. There's no special rewards for clearing with Trusts rather than real players.
Leveling trusts gives 2 achievements and lets you change their outfits
If you don’t care about those, there’s no point in doing em
Oh true, there's the Trust glamours
gotcha, thanks!
I just mined a legendary node and got 3% spiritbond to my 590 gear... i dont understand what im doing wrong...
What gear do i need to farm materia with alien onions and legendary nodes?
Pretty sure that for any nodes currently available, 560 gear will spiritbond faster than 590 because that's closer to the node's gathering level.
So you're better off using that to farm spiritbond right now.
I mean you bought bis lol
It'll still be helpful for maximizing yield and perhaps fishing.
And of course for next patch when new stuff gets added but no new gear
why no able to update game?
is the floor 51-100 in stormblood ?
how can I use the limit break?
it's an ability @wraith vault
Check the General tab in the Actions and Traits window. Limit Break is a button in there. Find a place to put it on your hot bars on every class.
press P
General tab
then go to general
No, it's part of heavensward... Potd as a whole was a heavensward thing
They initially only allowed people to go up to 10 on the trial/without heavensward
mb cuz i had a quest in stormblood knocking on heavens door
and it was about a tower as well, with requisite that i had to beat floor 50
That's for hoh
that's heaven on high, the stormblood equivalent to potd
That’s for Heaven on High. For levels 61-70.
where can i access floor 51-100 in HW ?
in potd
Still Potd
hmm i wanted to access it but i couldn't
HoH is separate from PotD but it requires you to have beaten PotD 50 to enter floor 1.
Clear floor 50 and there should be an additional quest from the Wailer.
oh thanks
it was right under my nose haha
are theren sick weapons in HoH like it PotD ?
so i recieved my first minion some flying airship looking thing, is there any point of it other than for aesthetic? im planning to just not use it because it's visual clutter already combined with my carbuncle. they apparently have a behaviour
just out of curiosity can you obtain the materiel container 4.0 on the free trial
minions are just cosmetic
yeah minions are just lil pets that follow you around (or don't in some cases)
ty and interesting
but still distinguished from actual "pets" which are summoner/scholar related
are any of the tiny baby animal minions earnable in-game?
yeah
Pretty much all of them
And a bunch of the store items were just from past seasonal events, so people could’ve gotten those for free if they were around
is there anyway i can do for leveling 40-50 alt job? beside duty roulette
!faq altjobleveling
roulette once daily, then spam the highest level dungeon you can
No
Dungeon spam.
Please do dungeons
FATE grinding on its own doesn't really become an effective way to level until you hit Endwalker content.
And then only if you've got a party to do them with.
And hunting log is just irrelevant past 15
it gives you something to do while waiting for dungeons as a dps i guess
Hunting log is good if you need a little bit more xp to push you over the top for your next MSQ or something.
And if you're a completionist
Effective in ShB
Is there anything to look out for while leveling. Areas to slow down etc... Certain quests to unlock...
Or just zoom zoom through class and msq? I'm enjoying myself but I'm paranoid I'm going to miss something important. This is a breakneck leveling speed.
!faq contentunlock
i would suggest not looking ahead at this list because spoilers
but
this is all optional content
if you're still in arr you need to do the crystal tower alliance raid series as its mandatory
If you feel like you're going at breakneck speed, maybe consider picking up a second job to take advantage of main story XP.
I'm focusing on MSQ and only taking random quests that also point me in the same areas so I can kill 2 birds with 1 stone. I hit 30 before finishing my 20 class quest lol
Alt is probably a good idea.
Gotchya
!faq questicons
- These are how you reach the endgame and every other bit of content is locked behind it to some extent. MANDATORY
- 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.
It's fine to take things slow and do all the things, mind you. But if you're gonna do that, I'd really recommend actually taking advantage of all the XP you're gaining and leveling some alt jobs. 😄
the screenshot folder hasn't been saving pictures for quite a while
do i have to empty it out or something?
I can't see the limit break button in P, am I missing some prerequisite?
It's under 'general'.
found it, thanks
Do I have to rebuy the game and endwalker to play on PC or just the game
What jobs are considered easiest and hardest?
too subjective to say really
Its hard to say as a lot of jobs tend to end up in just personal preference, the best answer I can give is try all of them out. Find the one that clicks with you and play that class.
If you own it on console then yes. You can use the same account/subscription but you do need to re-buy the game and the expansion.
The above being said, the ranged physical jobs as well as summoner are generally considered to be pretty easy. Are you looking for any specific roles?
is there a way to see what your ping is?
Not ingame
If you're on PC you can do a ping check

how do I ping the IP?
Windows: Open Command Prompt and type ping *insert IP Address here*
Mac: Open Terminal and type ping *insert IP Address here*
I’ve been playing summoner and I feel like I’m getting tired of how simple it is as a Ranger dps, I’m hoping to to find a melee dps that is actually not too complicated and fun, I was hoping to try out Reaper since it seems a lot of fun and is actually not to complex
If you're not to a level where Reaper is available (own Endwalker and be level 70 with another class), Dragoon is also pretty easy to pick up.
Well I also pick my main classes to ones that the Main cast don’t use
I’m sorry I just like differences
That's... ultimately none of them though?
At some point in the story, every job is used by a member of the main cast.
Well I mean the Scions

So chaos to light
damn i wanted to visit balmung lmao
can't believe the stuff i'm hearing so wanted to see it for myself
Just make an alt
Cnj was, even the duty support healer never goes past conjurer
I mean, yes, technically CNJ, but from a player perspective it's the same thing.
hey,what's the oce hard raid discord group?
is there like a OCE raiding central like in europe
i'm gonna change DC
many people will agree that
easiest = summoner
hardest = black mage
but it's way too broad a question for a simple answer
some people consider tanks easiest since they have the most room to make mistakes
others consider healers the easiest because their rotation is braindead
then you get into the whole topic of "well how hard is the class if you want to optimize?" because BLM is really easy when played at a basic level
but when you want to get sweaty it becomes a ton of work
Though I do need to ask about reaper as well. I’m very confused on how it’s opener and rotation work, is it more situational more than anything?
No not really
Reaper is a priority-based rotation.
You either Early gluttony or early shroud based on fight downtime and alignment
I prefer early shroud cause early gluttony hurts my brain at points
think it's also worth mentioning that a lot of people consider reaper the easiest melee
summoner is probably undoubtedly the easiest though
basic rotation, little to no punishment for heavy movement, not much to optimize
Yeah your main SMN optimization is egi order to make sure Ifrit isn’t used during anything movement heavy where a dash doesn’t help
where do you get the "aetheroconductive mammet materials" for custom deliveries?
any googling just leads me to stuff i can gather with the same name but isnt used for the actual recipe
The merchant in sharlyen
Vendor in the Sharlayan market area
As she said
buy them from a vendor in sharlayan
Near the materia people
The apocathary
all custom delivery mats are purchasable from a vendor somewhere
ah
ty
can i not use scoll up and down as keybinds ?
Beg pardon, but is it possible to level an alt class using the trust system? You know, the one with the premade NPCs?
yes
Thank you. Just means I need to hit 15 with every class, then level up with one I want to. Dungeon leveling is still the fastest way, right? Been a while since I've played.
it is, but trust NPCs are extremely slow
it's still going to be better than waiting out a DPS queue but they don't fully replace competent real players
not that competent real players exist to begin with
"Real competent players." That one got me. But yeah, I'd be leveling my DPS classes. As a tank or healer, queues are near instant.
you still have the option of doing bozja at 71+ and potd from 1-60
I looked it up on Reddit. A few years old, but PotD is less exp.
But faster ques
what job should I set my retainer to? Im still progressing on MSQ and my job with the most levels is paladin (level 67) should I just set it to that?
also potd calculator is outdated i believe
battle jobs dont matter which one you choose
They can't out level you on that job
So set them to job you use if you're picking it as combat one
If I level up to level 90 can they can be 90 as well right?
Like its not hard locked?
Yes
okay i'll set it to paladin then
thats fine this is my main job
Welp... It's been 24 hours and I haven't gotten my refund
... Screw it, didn't need the money ig, but if the subscription fails again istg
Continuing to try and sub, when this previous issue hasn’t resolved isn’t smart
Did you contact your bank, support, any of those
anyone know if the homeworld transfer service is working?
Already did that😐
It's not broken, they just don't trust us(and the servers) with it atm
that's sad 😦
15000 Requests per minute breaking the dc travel servers is sad
How do you use the eternity ring teleport?
question, how can I tell which random string of characters is tied to a specific character, is there some way to convert that string?
not really sure what you're asking
I think they are referring to the file structure for the character settings folders
oh
then yeah probably that ^
so no easy way to do it, like in WoW with char name under a given realm?
Change something on the character and it will be the most recently modified
when is Home World Transfer Service
back up
like for a paid service smh
When SE decides things are stable enough
Hello, Quick question I have been breeding chocobos and all my chocobos are coming out male... Is this normal?
Does Dark Knights Living Shadow's abysal drain heal me too?
No
ah okay, i could swear i hear its heal go off when it does
does anyone remember that when endwalker was delayed, in that live letter
||yoship talked about platinum being the color of endwalker||
||like something that's gonna have a platinum sheen to it?? ||
does anyone know wtf that ended up being, having just now finished 6.0
just talking about how endwalker represents the start of a new arc, a new "platinum dawn"
if you want more specifics though it may be best to ask in #archived-lore-spoilers
Essentially he was waxing poetic.
i want my hotbar 4 to be unique for each class, how should I set that up?
It's already set up
Sharing for hotbar 4 is off
So it won't be shared between the jobs
nice, but it dissapeard on my screen, i wonder what I did wrong
Cause you have the hide unused slots on
it should still be there
oh, i got it, i think i have to put the skill back on sincbe it went from shared to not shared
💡
does yoshi p. have a cs degree or did he just climb the latter at square? i wish we had like a documentary about him.
idk if i used the right ladder/latter there lol
2013
oh wow 10 year anni soon
Yep! The Rising 2023 is gonna be an emotional one
cant wait to see how everybody dress up
He worked on the Dragon Quest MMO before FFXIV, I think.
me. I can't play right now the game goes to Not Responding on launch
I'
im reading he worked on far east eden 3 before that, but did you know that he influenced a crazy nerf for the street fighter character "Zangief" back in 1997 because he won like 60 times in a private testing/showing? thats hilarious!
I'm trying out with the normal launcher
Remember this is a help desk not a discussion channel
Yeah, it's probably Dalamud
my bad
my game is crashing with regular launcher too sadg
idk what to do
I'll try going intop combat
I was spending hours afk and it never crashed
As soon asI started actually playing it was crawshing
It might be corrupted files
Or you have outdated/bad mods that you need to disable
best class to solo zandor or southern front with?
In terms of general skirmishes/CEs, basically anything goes with the right essences and actions
I like to play healers with Aetherweaver, Seraph Strike, and Burst
ah; thats the hard part unsure which i should have for what class
Most of the time, anything that increases damage or self-healing
ty ty
The tanks and DPS have an essence which gives them lifesteal on each hit
ooh
I think for DPS it’s Beast, and for tanks it’s Bloodsucker
i just mainly need to get from 19-25 for those sweet sweet Triad cards
Might be swapped around
Lost Burst/Rampage are great for AoE damage, though they might be costly to keep using
!action lost burst
Deals lightning damage with a potency of 300 to all nearby enemies.
Additional Effect: Interrupts all nearby enemies
Additional Effect: Increases damage taken by enemies with Magical Aversion by 10%
Duration: 60s
Spammable 300 potency aoe
oooh
To run an alliance raid unsynced it says I need 3 parties of at least 1 person, how exactly would I even set this up xD?
Party finder
ah xD
Very likely mods are involved
I ran a dungeon with the normal launcher and no crashes
or have 2 friends that wanna run it with you :p
Yeah just never messed with party finder really. It won't let me start it without multiple parties
can someone help clear something up for me when I see this the stats on the far right and click the piece the stats I see on that page are much lower
Outdated information
there was a stat squish with 6.0.
i see okay thanks for the help
Does anyone have a link to the music that played during the feast and specifically when culling time went off? Idk if I’m crazy but I thought it was dangertek but remixed
it's called Dangertek https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=1MpsoM01FzU
So damn good. If I'm being honest though, I kind of wish this music would play throughout the encounters as well, but alas. It's not exactly new because snippets of it could be heard during Culling Time in The Feast but it's the first time to be present in full (outside of the Stormblood OST). As for the shifting altar, it's a lot of fun, even i...
Oh I guesss I was miss remembering then, I thought a different version came on during culling time but nope. Thank you!
Can you not just do EW dungeons with trusts? I was trying to for leveling but only 2 trusts start at level 81 and the other 5 are all 71
so I need to level them up through ShB before I can solo EW dungeons?
it's kind of irrelevant now
but which dc has better raiding in NA
i wanna get my ucob clear
Yeah trusts need to be leveled. If you just want to run dungeons you can still use duty support
Trusts and Duty Support are different.
duty support? Ahh is that where I walk to the dungeon entrace and queue in with the scions?
Trusts are for people who want to level up their NPC friends and eventually get titles and things.
ahh I see it. Thank you
Duty Support is the one that syncs the NPCs to the dungeon's level regardless of how far you've worked the Trust system
a Hunt mob
hunts are basically field bounty targets
I got sage and already have qwuestions
So like...
Eukrasia, It feels i Dont have a downside to using it
Im able to go back from that to Dosis
No recast
is that what im supossed to do or
Eukrasian Dosis is a DoT so you really don't want to be constantly chaining that
Since all you'd be doing is refreshing the duration
Dot is?...
damage over time effect
Oh
Eukrasia isn't a straight up buff to your spells, it changes them
Nothing says it does that tho
Yes it does.
Yes
All healers get a dot
It's your Dia or Bio or Combust
Prob best go into a dungon as tell everyone to go slow maybe
The first few SGE quests should give you a general sense of how to play the job - compared to WHM, SGE is pretty different so it might be a bit rough jumping straight in if you're used to having the raw healing output that WHM has
Scholar is the same
Barrier healers have point blank no casting-lock aoes
see that a rank that roams near the like 20 msq area in fallgard flat is kinda a bitch
Pure healers have casting-lock aoes but can cast from range.
he didnt get the memo that you shouldnt be talking to low levels
True but the picture was of a B rank
B ranks are not hostile
im still mad that he one tapped my poor level 20 ass
Also a dia without a delay is amaazing
and that was a year ago
with dia you had to wait till like 4 second to use it
this you just do it instantly
What

I appreciate your enthusiasm but please do not liveblog in the help desk channel.
weakj
It's the exact same as the other DoTs. Eukrasia is 1 second & Dosis is 1.5. Dia is 2.5
No
When you cast Dia, it takes a bit for the affect to start
with this, its automatic
Also Kinger is right. It is on the GCD and you're dealing with the same delay, it simply feels different because of the altered functionality with Eukrasia.
They take effect at comparable times.
Overall its the same yea
"Comparable" here meaning "not perfectly identical but not functionally disparate enough to be relevant"
Or rather you can treat it as the same. And apply the dot, which ever, at like 2-3s
I think you need to wait 1s to actually apply dosis while dia is instantly, the total time to reapply is the same but the delay make he feels longer
Like what alla said, its basically treated the same
You start eukrasia at about 2-3s. It ends up being the same as casting dia at that timing
guys I can't finish "in for Garuda awakening" quest i have done the DG requirement but still.
any help im stuck
then youve not actually done it, its pretty clear cut on what is needed
i cant find it in duty finder that's the problem
well, you did the unlock quest, so it's in your duty finder under trials.
i know where i find it but nothing there.
ill just restart the game
post a screenshot of your trials df
I guarantee you it's there 🙂
you may need to scroll down
Okay, so the problem is likely that you're looking in the Dungeons section.
The quest screen does call it a dungeon, but it's a Trial
just like the normal version was
I found it..
after restarting the game and came to my home server maybe it was glitched thx for reply's ^^
well I'm pretty sure I didn't find it when I took the ss
anyway it doesn't matter rn the problem solved 😄
So uh. I'm confused about something. the tales of adventures completes all quests and puts you in to Endwalker. But we would be level 1 facing endwalker. I'm confused. Or is it saying that it doesn't boost your character but the completed quests get you up there? its bizzare. It cant just not level you or the skip would be pointless if you have to go back to the beginner levels to level anyways but now without quest exp? GAH!
how do you use your pvp limit break on frontlikne?
You put it on your bars from your pvp job page, same as any other pvp action
You’d need to buy a job skip
I did, but it was greyed out, even though limit break was full
Then that wasn’t the actual button
It does what it says on the tin.
gets you to X story beat
It's different from the PVE LB, if you put that on your bars in pvp it will not work.
AH i forget you dont level the character per se its leveling the job. DOY. I forgot since its been a while since i played xD
It doesn't say gets you to x story beat + any job to level 90
i cant find pvp limit break on the pvp page
its named ]
It's there
What job?
!pvpaction Afflatus Purgation
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 18,000 to all enemies in a straight line before you.
Additional Effect: Stun
Duration: 2s
Additional Effect: Grants Temperance
Temperance Effect: Increases damage dealt and healing potency by 10%, and grants Regen to self and nearby party members within 30 yalms
Cure Potency: 4,000
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed when the limit gauge is full.
war
war
whm one, for example
!pvpaction primal roar
is there still a limit on blades of asphodelos?
No
Removed in 6.18 iirc
sweet, ty
is recruit a friend no available at the moment?
Do you have your sub active?
can't recruit friends if you have none, 😄
but seriously, it never goes away, so it should be always available
oops just saw its not active. that might explain that!
is there a grace period on recruit a friend if my friend already started playing the game?
The 30 free days and has not bought any sub
thanks!
hi new here
i came across a bot while doing the duty roulette how do i report it?
Press escape then support desk
Are u sure it's a bot tho? They usually full stack when they do duties
yea im sure he was mving faster than the party and was teleporting didnt even repsond when i tried talking to it
Some classes naturally have faster move speed
The guy could be lagging as well
And teleporting could be an issue with ping yeah
God knows how many times I've seen people teleport because of my lag spikes
Or rpr doing it's portal thing lol
Or dancer/sage/monk with their dash
he was playing a summoner and agroing packs before our tank
nope just regular running speed and everyone in the party was trying to catch up
Did the summoner use their sprint skill
Did everyone else NOT use their sprint skill
we let him die and didnt res him and didnt say anything and only came back towards the end of the run
If the summoner sprinted and no one else did, that's NOT a bot
its really hard to explain it but the way the person was like seemed like a bot
ive got some party messages of the whole thing of us discussing what to do
the bot didnt even try say something to prove otherwise
Not saying anything isn't conclusive either
It's a pain to chat if you play on controller and don't have a keyboard plugged in
Best if you record it if you see it again, upload and link it here
Also you’re on jp, so language barriers who knows
So everyone can see. Your description isn't enough to draw a conclusion
dont have a recording only a screenshot
And yeah JP people aren't talkative unlike the EN counterpart if you play in Elemental
Again, did any of you use the Sprint skill in the dungeon
yea we were suing sprint
Okay that part is a little odd
But then if you all had lag spikes the summoner could have pulled ahead
Hey everyone big fan of Auron from FFX and been working on a glam to mimic him and pretty happy with the look. In your opinion what class would best suit Auron from FFX? The stance of Gunbreaker seems perfect over the shoulder, Dark Knights got the big ol' sword and Samurai for obvious reasons. A bit stuck since I dig all classes similiarly. Bit of a random question but its been buggin' me trying to figure which to continue maining.
yea there was points in the run where he was just walking into a barrier waiting for the bridge to apear and not participating in the fight
I mean samurai if you want to be closest, appearance and weapon wise
HEy does anyone know why I can't find this ? I am here,
Rank up the tribe
So get allied
Ah ok....figured it would say something like that
is it ever better to use the crafted/aglaia i590 piece over the augmented radiant i600 gear?
and it would be the crafted 580 bc it has pentameld
yeah so if it isn't on the balance, and i'm waiting for p4s chest, it would still be in my best interest to use the i600 augmented, right?
well no
the stat loss from 580 to 590 for penta meld on left side is just too great
yes
are you clearing p4s?
my bis has the 580 ring
so
left side
that is the question isn't it, am i clearing p4s
