If it's not a specifically blind group youre expected to see a guide
you better be able to name every major mech in the fight and have an idea how to solve it
For any content that's extreme and up
Such groups will say they're doing it blind but they're the exception. Pretty much every other group will expect you to have watched a guide
Can I ask what does these icons on gear correspond to please ?
can make a crest on a thing
can be put in glam dress
can be put in armorie
armory, glamour dresser, armoire I'm pretty sure
kometa is correct
So Armoire is for gears you want to store, glamour dresser for gears you'll want to use visually right ?
And i'm sorry what is the "crest on a thing" ?
you can put your fc logo on some gear
if you're in a free company, you can put your fc's crest onto the item
yes, you have to talk an npc for it to be put on to the item
its not there by default
Armoire is exclusive for seasonal gears and some armor
Thanks a lot everyone !
I'm in a party with a friend and in the same location, but when I teleport somewhere, my friend does not get a pop up asking if she wants to teleport there as well. Anyone got an idea why?
Have they attuned
Yes, she has the aetheryte attuned
Regular
Where are you trying to go?
Ul'dah Aetheryte Plaza
Any existing teleport requests
She doesn't get any if i start teleporting
the request only pops up after you finish the teleport
You get it after
Oh
and you can only get it if you don't have existing requests up
In reference to the recent live letter.. What does simulated refer to? Could this be a mistranslation ?
Y "Savage is delayed by 1 week after normal mode release"
Y "We're aware that especially for the world race, delaying savage will influence this a lot"
Y "We simulated a lot of the things that this would influence"
They ran through scenarios
There's an official digest of what was said, in english
Not that kind of questions and help channel
Ask a question if you have one
Beg for party members in game
Calm fam, no need to be a dick about it. Were not all seasons players here
They’re not being a dick, they’re just telling you how this channel works since you’re clearly new
"ask in game" is adequate not "beg for party members" ......
Is it just me or does PLD suck so hard below ~70, compared to other tanks?
It doesn't really get much better until 70
Yet again most jobs dont really feel fleshed out until 70-80
I have a white gear here that I can't sell or trade. What can I do to remove it from my inventory ?
Just trash it
How do I get more applications/enlistments for my adventure squadron? I can't rank up in GC without it
Challenge log
do your weekly challenge logs and hope you get a recruit
Oh ok ty !
Thanks !
Am I limited to 6 custom delivery turn ins a week across all clients or is it six per client?
12 a week, maximum of 6 per client
ok thanks
what would you guys say is the most fun job if you had to choose between sam, nin or drg
fun is subjective
That’s pretty subjective yeah
NIN is probably the easiest of those 3 jobs
Where can I purchase lvl60-70 poetics gear?
SAM and DRG are a toss up on difficulty, both jobs have some pretty deep optimization you can do
Have you beat HW and SB
I checked in Mor Dhona and I could only find lvl50
Because you buy them at the HW and SB hubs
beat HW and im going through SB
For specifically level 60, it’s in Ishgard/Idyllshire. For level 70, Reach/Kugane. The poetics exchange in Ishgard and Reach/Kugane requires beating their respective MSQ.
alright thank you!
Only scrip vendors have universal wares
Never?
Poetics last until 55/65/75/85
And you just do the dungeons and get the gear as you level. No reason to get every piece of gear from each dungeon before doing the next
just got captain in maelstrom and thinking about doing the other 2. do you get to keep ur squadron when you swap between them?
yes, you get them back when you reunlock squadrons with the new GC
man, that sounds like it'd make doing all 3 easy once u finish one
Except that you have to re level all the way up to lieutenant, no seals carry over
yea but that's not as bad as leveling ur squadron to 50 imo
i may be wrong but ive noticed getting gear when i was passing on all the loot or none of it was my class
i unlocked the squadron pretty fast, it was getting them good enough to pass the missions that was hard
thx guys
Sooo I got the game today where can I find the activation key thing
Where you buy it
You get emailed
Does ping effects being a tank?
It affects everyone
I grabbed this dragon agro but it went to the dps instead
Cause if it's too high than double weaving becomes an issue
I literally hit him 3 times
Then they just didn't hit it
Then you just didn’t have tank stance on?
Or only hit it once and didn't generate alot of aggro
If you ever lose aggro as a tank then either your gear is completely and utterly shit, tank stance isn't on or you didn't hit them
was it one of the adds that tethers to a random player and then can't be deaggroed until it dies?
And ran to the next room and lose his agro
I have the ilvl 530 gear when I did lvl 80 dungeon
Then you missed aoes on it
Cause hitting moving mobs are a fickle thing
You either didn't hit it or you didn't have stance on.
if you're having issues making sure you hit every mob, try stopping for just a sec to make sure u catch the whole group in an aoe before u move on to the next one
I was smack down in the middle
Yea then a healer decided to heal me and grab their agro instead
Then you didn't hit it If a healer got aggro that fast
if you have stance on the healer really shouldn't be ripping aggro, even prepull regenning
you can also specifically target whichever mob isn't mad at you with your tank's ranged move
and that will for sure get it to you
I do that too
Do I just click on unlock the activation key?
does loot from the current savage tier have a weekly limit?
oh alright, thanks
Also what is sending and receiving
It’s basically how much activity is happening around you
i have a question how do i start the level 52 dragoon quest im level 55 and he alberic isnt giving me a quest D:
!faq whynojobquest
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.
What do I do with the activation code? Do I just log on to the game?
Login to mogstation and enter it there to register the game. Then login to the game with your mogstation account.
It says transfer to full game then it says purchase full version ( which I did from the website) and registration code entry
You have a code, and we just said to register it
Does anyone recommend getting the Collector's Edition now while I'm on my fifth day of the free trial?
No, you buy complete edition
And I wouldn’t register until you’re ready
Right, but I'm saying that because it's on sale
ok so
If you know you want to buy it eventually, you can buy it now and hold on to the code until you're ready register it, so that you can stay on the free trial for a while longer. For PC anyway. PS versions register automatically.
Ok good to know!
wait u can do that
Now I get it
where can i buy cheap exp boosting food on the free trial (can't use market board)?
Eggs
do you know of a vendor anywhere, i'm not sure where to look
thanks
what does it mean when people say akh morn in pf?
It's a mechanic
Akh morn is a stack mechanic that hits multiple times, increasing number of hits each time that mechanic is done
looking to collect the Weathered Evenstar Hat which im guessing was a quest reward from the Brave New Companions quest> i have long since completed that and cannot find it anywhere. Is there a way to recollect it from a vendor? The calamity scavenger does not have it in his quest rewards list
They’re bought with allied seals at your GC
Weathered versions are unobtainable period
is it possible to solo the first boss of sunken temple of qarn?
i step on the plate to clear the debuff but i still die
Remember to kill the bees
make sure you're stepping on the correct plate (aka the one that is currently glowing) to clear the debuff
its a doom debuff right, i think the plate is the only way to clear it too
yep but the bees can one shot.

Does opabinia just have like an insanely low catch rate?
Is it a big fish? Because they have capped catch rates, pretty sure you never have a 100% chance
is there a way to set retainer periods to a month rather than the entirety of my sub?
its trying to charge me for 8 months per retainer rather than 1..
I've been at it for days and multiple failed catches.
The retainer cost is added into your sub payment, so if you're paying for eight months of subscription, you're playing for eight months of retainer as well.
Since you didn’t answer my question, it is indeed a big fish. And thus pure RNG
I paid for a years sub historically. now its not giving me an option for purchasing a single month of retainers or anything. Annnnnnnd it just charged me for 8 months without a confirmation or anything. wtf
You can just cancel the retainers
retainer subs are folded into your current sub
^
if you paid for a year it'd charge for a year, i'd assume, as it gets added to your sub.
its not added to my sub though my subs already been charged previously
its juts forcing me to purchase 8 months all at once
Also, if you selected automatic renewal, it will automatically renew and simply inform you that the renewal is occurring.
there was no tick bo for that
it literally gave me one option and it was number of retainers. it didnt even ask for confirmation or credit card numbers
then the page spazzed out and charged me anyway
The only option for retainer is how many you want to pay for, thats it
as i said, its rolled into your current sub so there is no option to choose how many months
so how do i prevent it charging me again when i purchase more sub?
Deactivate the retainers on your Mogstation.
If you feel you've been charged for your subscription in error, you need to contact SE support. But as we've said, retainer price is folded into your subscription price, so if you pay for a subscription, you pay for the retainers for the same length of time.
will that affect the current retainers i already purchased?
and how do i deactivate it? the retainer service in mog station takes me straight to the purchase page
the retainers are canceled from the bottom of the list and up
just move whichever retainer you dont want to the bottom of the list and thats the one that will be canceled
If you go into the Retainer management, you can tell it to reduce the number of retainers you have on your account, down to "one additional retainer" minimum.
So if you're paying for two extra retainers, and you don't want both of them, you can knock it down to one.
It's in a dropdown list right before all the warnings in red text.
wont that just charge me for an extra one? once i click the drop down box there is no save or anything just select payment method..
You pay for the active retainers, therefore if you have less retainers active
If you have more than one additional retainer it will not charge you extra to reduce the number.
It will make you go though the payment method, but you won't be charged because you're removing the service, not adding to it.
"Additional retainers cannot be released from the selected service account at this time.
Please wait until the end of your current subscription period. "
so i cant even cancel the retainers until my sub runs out 😂
fuck it then i just wont resub
that some scammy bs
If you have any paid retainers, they can be cancelled under ‘Miscellaneous Options’ -> ‘Retainer Service’. Select ‘Cancel Subscription’to cancel the retainer services. Note that this will NOT cancel your recurring game time.
also from your wording, you don't have an active sub currently yes?
i don't have a reoccuring sub I have 8 months remaining on paid time cards
i see
where is this miscellaneous options?
I don't want my money back
I just want to make sure if I enter another time card its not going to charge me another 40 days of retainers
it won't
you're on prepaid time
the moment your sub stops, is when your retainer sub stops
you cannot have retainer sub WITHOUT an active sub
what if i buy another time card before my sub runs out though?
from what i am reading, you'd have to manually re-add them
Alright guess we will see what happens
i would suggest however
To be safe, just let the prepaid time run out and then add the new time card
that way you know for sure the additional retainers are not renewed
yeah i will if i remember given its 8 months away theres a good chance i will forget though
but from what i understand of time cards, they're not considered recurring subs
so retainers would not automatically renew
ok well hopefully it works out
If I would level a dps, would it be faster to run PoTD or have a tank or healer buddy help me jump queue times?
Buddy
tank/healer buddy would be quicker
100% buddy
Dungeons give the most xp
Also duty support is still a thing
Only problem is ques for dps when solo
can fisher retainers farm elemental shards?
no
Of what?
of ff14
That's a payment method thing.
how long does that take
where do you go to set up your pvp hotbars?
Any PvP zone
Aka wolves den
That will automatically swap you to PvP hotbars, then you can use the PvP actions menu.
The wolves den.
Generally bad to set up your hotbars IN a match, so
i came back from a long break and never did pvp b4, where is wolves den if I may ask? 
under the la noscea teleport menu
But you can, technically.
if you attuned, else i think you can get there via a boat from limsa.
You can also take a boat from... Aleport?
ah, i see it
Either Aleport or Moraby Docks
can pvp level up alts as an alternative method?
yes
You have to be lvl 30 to start with so…
daily frontline is really good for exp, pvp itself can be a little dicey on exp since its based on win/lose but its alright exp in the end
im lv 50, yay. Any resource on pvp how-tos, combo, and such?
Combos are built in
pick a job first
just go smack a dummy in wolves den - kits are small and fairly self explanatory
With how little buttons you have you can usually figure it out
You basically just have 4-5 buttons
oh alright
Tool tips are great
PvP skills don’t work the same as the pve versions, keep this in mind
But I personally say do join this discord for some guides
https://discord.gg/Z3VVWJYQ
roger, will check it out
Quite helpful community
How do i come to the hidden area here in ||Elpis|| ?
Fly
It’s not
there is no current there.
hmmmm...
Man i dont like this compass, randomly hunts after another sometimes
It goes for the closest, it’s not random
well, no need to get there then. thanks!
will your purchase be declined if youre buying with a card from another country?
as a person who is just about to start with heavensward, should i do coils legit or do i just do it with higher level people in an unsynced party?
unsync
0 reason to do it synced outside of the challenge
If you're worried about missing the "experience" of doing them at the content-level they were released at, keep in mind that player kits have changed to such an extent over the course of the game that it's no longer possible to actually play them with the kits they were designed around. The closest you can get today will be "minimum item level" parties, but those will be organised by groups of people who specifically want to do that content that way.
The majority of the people in the game will clear them unsycned because there's zero reason not to, and trying to queue for them "legit" directly via Duty Finder will see you sitting in queue for many, many hours because they're not in any roulettes and thus won't be backfilled by the game's matchmaking assistant.
Hi, what level can you unlock the garlemald bicolor gemstone trader? Can you unlock them as you are still leveling and doing fates there or are these traders meant for level 90s?
Once you get there for the story you unlock that vendor after speaking to them basically
Thank you very much phew, I need endwalker orchestrion rolls on alts. My main char completed endwalker, but i was scared if i had to clear 90 on all of my characters x_x
oooh whats the reason for having multiple characters?
RP, Savage split runs, wanting to be on multiple servers.
for roleplaying and for crazy house shenanigans
In my case, because I wanted to play around with different races/species
In short, because you want to, for whatever reason.
i just wanna make alt cuz i like the story i made for each of them
its just fun to come up with stories and how said character interact with the world
creating new character and reaching lvl 30 in any Prefered World gives me 15 days of free time, right?
assuming you haven't already earned it once, yes
thxs
How do you teleport to your friend thats in your party?
You can't directly teleport, but if you open the party menu you can see the current map they're on
Direct teleportation is locked to Eternal Bond rings
and that item you get from RAF
(i know this because its still sitting in my inventory)
No, that teleports you to the nearest aetherryte
!item aetherial pendulum
also only works on sprouts
* The Aetheryte Pendulum can be used for any New Adventurers on your friend list, even if you have not invited them via the Recruit a Friend campaign. ```
i have a monk question that i've wanted the answer to since the beginning of monk. does Mantra increase healing from Bloodbath or Second Wing?
Are there any more Deep dungeon
Not yet
Right now there's nothing other than the two we already have
Also good question, not sure what heals mantra counts
!faq healingup
There's two notable types of healing up buffs in the game. The most common for healers to have is written as 'increases healing magic potency.' Skills with this phrasing buff the outgoing healing done from GCD heals only by the person(s) with this buff applied, and it does not affect oGCD heals.
Healer actions with this effect:
• Neutral Sect (AST)
• Fey / Seraphic Illumination (SCH | applies to the whole party)
• Dissipation (SCH)
• Temperance (WHM)
• Zoe (SGE)
The other type is written as 'HP recovery via healing actions.' Skills with this phrasing increase the amount of incoming heals on the target with this buff and the increase is applied to ALL heals, including oGCDs. Many of these skills come from non-healer roles, so it's helpful to know how they function.
Actions with this effect:
• Asylum (WHM | Players must be inside the bubble to receive buff)
• Protraction (SCH)
• Physis II (SGE | AoE buff)
• Krasis (SGE)
• Mantra (MNK | AoE buff)
• Nature's Minne (BRD)
• Thrill of Battle (WAR)
• Magick Barrier (RDM | AoE buff)
I'm hoping this payment business wont take more than a day
Second wind yes since jt has a cute potency, bloodbath no since it doesn't and it can't be buffed
How do you unlock the labyrinth of the ancients?
doing the crystal tower quests
An oddly garbed man visiting Revenant's Toll has some information which might be of interest to an experienced adventurer.
Outlandish Man
Mor Dhona (X: 21.86 Y: 8.17)
Rammbroes
Mor Dhona (X: 30.44 Y: 12.17)
The Ultimate Weapon
Sanding It Down
I’m trying to help someone but I can’t see what they have to do. Is it called a specific quest so that I can refer them too?
literally that one
I literally just linked it
the quest itself is literally called labyrinth of the ancients
that specifically unlocks labyrinth
When all else fails just do whatever
is in the area
I have a question about blacklisting someone. If you blacklist someone in your own server, are you able to see them if you happen to be in the same place? Or is it equivalent to blocking someone and you can’t see anything they do/them themselves
They can’t join PFs you put up, that’s it
blacklisting only affects party finder and /tells iirc
so they can still join party?
Saizo if you don’t have questions don’t post here, you’ve been told this already
can’t
is there ever a situation while melding current endgame combat gear where you would want anything but X and IX? (i know gathering/crafting uses lower ranks because their caps are easier to reach)
No
overmelds
Ah okay, I get it. Thank you
Use 8s for free stats if you want to meld a job you're not maining or going to swap gear soon
so i guess i can safely sell my hoard of combat materia now that i've completed all 10 ARR relics?
That’s on you
why would it be on me if it's literally useless to me
then sell it
huh, anything but 1 and 2 are barely above vendor price
how hard is it to get master leatherworking 7?
you buy the book for scrips and that's it
ok ty
You can’t use it unless you’re lvl 80 of course but that’s not hard
My husband and I formed our FC last night. He ended up having to make it since I had a 24 hour cooldown after I left my previous FC. He wants to make me leader, but it keeps saying he can't, that I haven't been there long enough. How long is the cooldown before he can pass lead?
like 30 days
Seriously? That blows.
it's to combat house selling
It's a block to prevent people selling fcs for houses
You specifically have to be in the FC for 30 days
i mean he can just make you coleader
and give you all of the same perms
that he has
Alrighty, that sucks but yeah, we'll set that up for now. Thank you all.
What is the difference between these two?
Additional cosmetic items
You can always upgrade to collector’s later so you’re not missing out by getting the cheaper option
tru
So is the cross data center travel live or no? I’m confused.
You do it on the character select screen
so i looked on squeenix's site and apparently if you pay from another country they'll request a form of ID
how long does that take?
Hello, I have a question that has to do with the story skip u can get from the online store
is there better level seventy gear? i feel like the one i currently have equipped is rather low.
Scaven
if you get the shadowbringers skip, do u get access to shirogane? or would I need to have the char level 61 to do it?
Yes
You still have to do the quest
the fc loophole?
You can still enter shiro via friend teleport
oh u can jus tp them?
Or fc teleport whatever you want
thanks!
You'll need to teleport out of the zone when you're done
u cant tp people to places they havent been but if the fc house is in shirogane you can tp there
can you mute someone in CC?
No
is there a place to look for free companies
!faq communityfinder
ty
I'm missing most of my spells I have just joined arcanist eariler and then switch back to black mage and this happened anyway to fix this?
You're a thaumagture
Job quests
Job stone?
!item soul of the black mage
How do I save gear sets?
your level 30 class quest will give you a jobstone
ah okay
Yea I gotten the level token thing just don't have time for leveling that much with work.
You press the big button that looks like a circle after making one
the bottom right slot is your job stone and to save gear sets click the page icon and press +
near the auto reccomend gear button
circle?
Ah ok thank you I thought I was losing my mind there XD
you can drag the gear sets to your hotbar or just click them in the menu to switch classes without having to drag everything
also click the auto reccomend gear button anytime you get gear for your class and itll equip you with the best stuff
Alrighty then What is the glamour plates I feel like I need to set them up.
when you go to inns you can put gear in there to visually go over your stats gear
You know the button on the right
To have different glamours for different jobs despite sharing gear
Ah so i set it up within inns got it.
It's not something you need to do
Just if you want to glamour everything more easily when swapping gear
Yea it sounds easy so might just do that.
keep in mind that you have to leave the gear in the chest you want to glamour
Where is a good place to ask if people want a refer a friend code? Trying to get 2 people for the 2 person mount from the system.
!faq raf
Thank you
yo i need to give someone my code and id like to input someone else's code too

ill dm you my code and you can do the same
oh wait
brain

Please bring this to DM
Is there no Fire to compare with Freeze?
fire 2?
Flare
Alritghy then wasn't sure if that was it or not thanks!
Why you need that though? Freeze only use 1 then you back to fire phase
Just find it strange it uses ALL my mana
It is a finisher
!faq blmleveling
Shit
Yes
Got it, still in a realm reborn story so everything is one shot escept for Duty's
the whole point of black mage is to be rubber banding your mp from 0 to 10000 constantly
That’s obviously gonna happen when you’re in lvl 80 gear
Understandable.
blm is tuff to learn without levelling with it
id recommend searching some beginner leveling guides
its quite a bit different depending on your level
Is there a way to "link" your Free Company in chat? So if you were to do a recruitment message it would link to your Free Company panel for others to see?
pretty sure FC are invite only
Yes, I know that.
No
Stupid question, if I buy the digital collectors edition do I get money back for having the current version of EW?
You know how you can right-click a person and see what FC they're in? That's what I was referring to.
It's a measure to keep you from only ever being in Fire phase. You also get things later on that diminish the increased mana cost initially, to the point where you're getting six or seven Fire 4 casts in a single phase.
Once you get to level 60 and you get your actual cycle, things will make a lot more sense.
no i don't believe so
You buy the upgrade on mogstation for 20$ which is the price difference
There's nothing to get back
it's on sale on the squeenix store is why I ask
Collector is separate from base game or expansion
whats in the digital collectors edition which isnt in the full game
free mounts or what
Mount minion piece of glam
HW collector comes with a Fantasia, don’t question it
ew upgrade
Mog station it's 99$ but squeenix is 97$
And the one that you see on the store is collector conplete edition all 5 collectors at once plus CE price
and there was no new race in hw?
There was
Au ra
Complete collectors is not the same as the individual upgrades
Reminder that the original price is $140
the complete collectors edition upgrade is 99$
How many points do you need for each fête to get the most reward
This is equal buying CE plus 5 collectors upgrade
Depends on the fete
Ah ok
Any way to change your title screen to a different expansion permanently
Only with mods

i wish
Thank you anyway
i get ear blasted whenever i boot up the game
are buffs subject to the games innate "lag" or can they reliably land right when you do the move even if you weave it late too close to GCD cast?
Everything is subject to the built in 0.7s delay. If you late weave in the second slot and don't clip then it's fine
You will typically always late weave buffs so you're not wasting a full second of them
If it's on your buff bar, you have it active
where can I get ilvl 560 accessories?
The 3 starting Lv90 dungeons
ah is there nowhere to buy them?
They're also mostly a stopgap between getting to level 90 and getting the currency to upgrade to 570.
are there higher ilvl accessories that I can more easily get then?
Alot
I want to keep doing the msq but I'm gated by ilvl rn
580 crafted are perhaps easiest. They're pretty inexpensive these days. Buy from MB.
You shouldn't be.
570 aphorisms, 580 crafted via market board, 590 astro tomes, 580 from pandemonium Normal mode
ty I'll try the marketboard ones
gotcha will do
Ah, the post-campaign.
Yeah, everything Vinyl just listed. Aphorism tomestones you should earn rapidly, which will be the easiest, and which you'll get while doing the aforementioned dungeons.
580 you can just outright purchase from other players, and you can upgrade them to 590 with a pair of currencies gained by trading in the 580 HQ gear and by spending Aphorisms.
your job gear is like 560
and msq and dungeons should have given you accessories
idk how youre under lvl
Cause they didnt win any accessories from dead ends
^
560 item level is gating the post-EW MSQ, and if you don't have 560 right side, you can't have an average of 560
Just your job gear and full 89 accessories isn't enough
This is normal ilvl locking at the start of post expansion story
Yeah, just keep playing the game for a bit longer, the post-campaign story isn't going anywhere.
Everyone gets blocked unless they got basically everything from the dungeon for accessories
yep. I get them for about 30k/pc
Additional question, I would assume 6.2 dungeon would be between 570-580?
is 6.2 adding a dungeon?
Yeah we always get a msq dungeon
6.2 dungeon is probably going to be 570 minimum yeah
not all the major patches in hw and sb had dungeons
Every patch has had a dungeon but it wasn't until ShB where all were in the main story.
Every major patch had a dungeon
Heavensward got 2 dungeons per patch
Stormblood alternated between 2 and 1
Thanksssss
can i buy my friend subtime? if so how?
Give them a game time card
Ask them their account region, buy a game time card of the same region, give him the code to redeem. Node that his sub type will be standard
I'm new to crafting macros, why won't this cast Final Appraisal when I do it? It's just for some wimpy craft so I need it to not overcap
Put it in quote
More than one word, in quote or use auto translate
Multiple word actions require quotes
Basic synthesis optional for wait
ohhh hmm
And yeah all action need wait time or the last basic synthesis will be ignored
oh cool that worked
the previous cc season ended right? where do i go to collect rewards?
the npc next to the billboard at the aetheryte
ty
Do DoTs stay as strong as whatever buffs you had at cast or does it drop off?
it stays the entirety of the duration
In other words, if you have a buff on when you use the DoT, it will keep the buff until you reset the DoT's timer. Even if you lose the buff after using the DoT.
which wards are available for private buyers on Materia atm? :oo
hey everyone. just resubbed after a long hiatus.. which classes are DoT classes?
None?
What does (NL) mean
The majority of your damage ain’t coming from dots
oh, i thought summoner was considered a dot class back when
Rework happened
i gotcha
Various classes use dots, and one or two (like Bard) see a significant portion (although not a major portion) of their damage from dots, but condition damage isn't really a thing in this game.

If you want to know how new SMN works, watch this
Patch 6.08: Astral Impulse now 440, Ruby Rite 450, and Fountain of Fire 540. No use changes.
Patch 6.1: Searing Light is no longer Carby Based. The Summoner itself casts it.
All Ruby actions now are a forced 3 second recast, Swiftcast only allows movement now. All potencies of Ruby skills increased to compensate.
Lucid Dreaming now level 14.
N...
tysm
summoners only dot now is the special attack from Garuda right?
yes unless you want to count bahamut and phoenix's attacks
What does it mean if I get a message that says "Application received from X"?
You got an application from someone, presumably for your FC
Oh. Didn't think those would show in general FC chat.
is it normal that no one queues up for thornmarch hard? been in queue for more than 5 mins and no one showed up lol
isnt that random
A) what DC you on
B) are you a dps
yes, and thornmarch hard, is part of that random list
Welp, buckle up
Because dps queues haven’t gotten any better
you will Only see people in the queue IF they are queuing for that specific thing
you wont see people who are queueing for roulettes who could get matched with you to complete the party
well i know that random queue is not gonna be thornmarch until like 5 times
but i can go with the pain
does it determine which duty i've been assigned to, and whether its thornmarch or no?
you being in the queue, means its more likely to put roulette people with you
roulettes are Designed to help populate Older content
its automatic, and will happen if there are enough ppl and you have been waiting long enough
Gareth, you’re on aether
Go get the aether role in #860652505117753384
done
what you will find happen, is youll just be sitting there, and the queue will pop, but a moment before it was literally only you sitting there
i dont still quite get it, but i'll try queuing later and see if it works
because roulette found 7 other people, and matched them with you
It’s not that confusing
i've tried roulette before, and all it did is that it got me into random duties lol
You queue for specific duty, people in roulette get dragged into your duty, you do the fight
roulette doesn't pick a random trial, once it has 8 people
it tries to match people IN the roulette queue, with people who are waiting in queue for specific trials
oh yeah thats what i did, been queuing for that specific duty for 5 mins but no one showed up
i get it now tho
it will only pick a random, if there aren't any ppl waiting in a trial queue
just gotta wait longer
Is it just lalafells that have the unique ninja run animation (airplane arms), or do all races do it
Because like I just told you, DPS queues suck
And aren’t getting any better
like i said, 5 minutes, is not unusual
;-;
5min is like nothing, as dps get used to wait
DPS queues can get to 15+min
okok thanks for the info
says 5 mins average
also, if you are playing in offpeak hours, then it maybe spotty
It’s almost 2am on the east coast, peak is still happening in the western NA zones
i've always done duties with npcs for my main story quests
but this time i have to queue with other ppl :/
hopefully they add npcs for these trials then
no 8+ player content has NPCs, theyve not built the AI for it yet
eventually
wont be for a long time
they are upgrading the dungeons first
and have made no promises for 8 player content
programming ai for 3 players (dungeons since the 4th is you), is a lot easier, than 7 for trials
they are still upgrading all the old dungeons, level50s i believe are still being done
so heavensward and stormblood dungeons aren't done
so when you hit those, you'll have to play with others
How do I unlock PVP
Progress your GC, you get a quest called pup no longer
Yo, I recently utilized the transfer server service. I put all my apartment furnishings in my housing inventory. Finished the transfer and my furniture isn't in my housing storage anymore. Did I have to have them in my character inventory??
yep iirc
Unfortunately yes.

which is the best arr ex to unsync farm for nightmare whistle? like usually the fastest
I personally prefer garuda
It’s Garuda
the quickest ones can be done in like 10 seconds
Way less invulnerable transitions
So for the Amaro mount achievement, it lists arcanist as one of the jobs to get to 80. But that class kinda splits in two, right?
Yes
Do I need to 80 Summoner, Scholar or either?
yes, you need either scholar or summoner to 80
Both
since they both level up
They level the same
What
they earn arcanist experience
and as you've stated, there's both summoner & scholar
so both earn the EXP
even if you don't play it
If one is 80, so is the other. So there’s 0 difference
You just need to unlock the other
So I can just... level SMN as high as I want, never touch Scholar and Scholar will hit 80?
it's a double edged sword as you'll know everything in one job
and know nothing in the other
I.e own the jobstone
I'll be honest, the only Healer jobs I'm interested in are WHM and AST
the mitigation healers seem nice, but just not my thing
Still gotta have the stone
ye
Same for the Chocobo Feather hat
What are the fastest ways to level a healer from 75-90 and a DPS from 80-90?
outside of the duty roulettes
Who the heck use roulette for that
Just queue for highest level dungeon, roulette usefulness last for just the first run of the day
no one spams roulettes for fast levelling, its impossible, lol
doing roulettes once a day is nice for passive levelling of a 2nd job, since levelling roulette is good exp
outside of that, dungeons
I usually do the daily roulettes to level but I'm trying to do more so I can go faster
I meant outside of the daily single bonus you get for those roulettes
!faq altjobleveling
The answer is still “do the highest dungeon you can that doesn’t end in 0”
This doesn't have 80-90
yeah it does
yeah I'll go with that
NPCs that help you do dungeons from 1-50 or 70+
They take 30 minutes but look no queue times
ah ok
yeah the queue times for dps were the main reason I was looking for help with this lol
81-90 are just dungeons, because there is no alternative content for 81-90 yet
Askadora quests
So yeah, duty support can help from 1-50 although during peak times just queuing might still be better.
ok so
really an edge case
i have a steam deck that im playing on at work
on an external monitor and dualsense controller
and once in a while if im playing for too long abilities stop going through
any abilities not just attacks
game registers that im pressing buttons on the hotbar but they dont go off
anyone had that? any solutions?
This guide says that the trials duty roulette is one of the most efficient ones, but it looks like it gives almost nothing. Is there something I'm not understanding about it?
Is there anyone that can help me with UI layouts? I'm running a potato laptop at 1366x768 and I just want to clean up my UI so that it isn't as cluttered as it is. I can't see anything half the time.
it takes 5-10 minutes to do, in most cases, for about 5-10% of a bar
Lag?
under UI settings set the overall scale to as small as possible, then shrink down UI elements even further in HUD layout
you have WiFi interference, or just a bad lag spike
unsyncing eyes of creator for hw relic rn and i waited like 8 minutes before i restarted the game for it to reset
unless you are wired, ping spikes are common
Are there any clean custom UIs I can use? Where do I even go for such things?
It’s fast and easy, the bonus exp reflects that
you just.... move the shit around in HUD layout
im wired
Right, but that takes time.
then either send a video or something because it just sounds like a network issue
Try to ping the server with command prompt
you can get rid of some ui elements you dont need
it is completely personal preference, and i'd recommend just spending half an hour messing with it.
like inventory grid or gil
I do it every 6-8 months or so
ranges from 40 to 70 mostly
already did
Thank you for the info. Will check it out.
for what its worth besides SSAO most settings have little to no effect on performance
Normally if ur skills dont go off its definitely lag
in 99% of cases you're bound by single core performance
but yes, if skills aren't going off but your framerate is fine, it's a network issue of some sort.
ill wait for it to happen again and record
I'd recommend poking on the official Valve forums.
I have two dancer questions:
When should Improvisation be used?
Is it more efficient to use technical step or standard step first, or does it not matter?
when the boss is untargeted, ideally you already have standard step active prepull
- downtime right before raid wides mostly
- always standard step first
you want to have Tech Finish hit when non-attack buffs go out
(so after AST, DRG, and SCH buffs as an example)
From the balance
thank you!
wow I haven't seen this site before. This looks super helpful for the future. I'll go bookmark this thank you
Hey, would someone be able to tell me the coords for this treasure chest? https://i.gyazo.com/f18997c8dd388ad046477e0f27795011.png
seems like Kholusia ( 34.9 , 19.2 )
oh my gosh, thank you!! I was running all around the map trying to figure out where to go
for next time, just look at your map for any matching land marks
Should i do 80-90 in the diadem ?
I'll keep this in mind!
Just do collectables and Studium deliveries
Definitely don’t do crafters, you get nothing from the 80 recipe
And leves
do exp buffs apply on leves exp rewards ?
not if you use the crafter manuals
does reaper have the same ping issues as mch?
reaper also has to single weave with a 1.5s gcd, yes
why does nobody mention that
i've only heard ping complaints for mch
hmm
are the issues not as bad as mch?
tbh I personally didn't feel it was that bad
maybe it's just me
maybe I haven't played enough lvl 90 RPR
i've mentioned several times in here that my ping is high, and people only seemed to mention MCH as a bad idea
tbf, rpr is still relatively new, especially compared to mch
mostly probably because RPR ping issues come out nearly at the maximum level
starting to think i should move data centres : (
whereas MCH is present almost from the get go
Are u on pc
yes
Noclippy might help
Or you can just use a plug in to fix ping
The noclippy github explains it
does anyone know why my search info isnt saving? i have finished shb and is still a sprout, whenever i change it to online ill be a sprout as soon as i log back in the next time
First of all, don’t tell people you’re using it in game. Because you’ll get banned
2nd don’t give yourself an “impossible ping”
Because that’ll make it evident you’re using something to influence your ping
the first part i knew thankfully, what is an impossible ping?
if you want to turn off sprout just type "/nastatus off" in the chat
oh you can just set a ping?
that'll permanently remove the sprout
okay thank you
also, the sprout will automatically get removed at the end of shb's patches
Only if u have the required 300h
oh okay
I need to pile up collectables and scripe if I want to craft new gears in 6.2 right? should I be preparing for purple scripe or white scripe?
i read somewhere it was at the end of sb but i guess they changed it with ew
if they're actually playing all the way through shb without boosting they'll have it
it used to be that before ew dropped
No it's possible to do it just by playing under 300h
So basically stuff like 0 ping is literally impossible. if you’re gonna lower it, it’s gotta be believable
yeah, that's why i asked, if we literally are just setting a ping for ourselves
that's interesting
is there a guide on youtube
anyone can help me how to top up crysta for ff14 euro?
i wanted to use paypal to topup but i'm stucking here for so long after enter the amount i gonna top up
https://github.com/UnknownX7/NoClippy
@lunar flare
thanks. not very good with this stuff, kind of a new pc gamer
2 months to be exact
and my account dont have crysta showing too
Just Purple scrips for materials
White scrips for the Master Books, though.
What job does Reaper share gear with, if any?
Thanks
I posted earlier in beginner lounge that I set the square enix account that the ffixv online launcher made me make with the wrong country and now the registration key from steam isn't working. I was told to contact support. and I did, but I had an idea. If I cancel the the account the launcher is forcing me to use, will I be able to use a different account that's set in the right country? or will cancelling it just make it worse?
Support has to unlink the account first
It’s not the country that’s the issue, it’s the region
Cus as is steam is now linked to that service account
right right ok I'll wait for them to get back
Your se account region and steam account region don't match
yeah that's what the launcher said when I tried to use the code
can gnb heal itself completely from 1 aurora in the span of a superbolide? for how long superbolide lasts?
It cannot heal that much
Maybe a 1/3 hp with brutal shell + aurora timing stuff, superbolide makes you immune or 10s
will the next raid tier require having cleared the current one ?
hmm
If you have Heart of Corundum, you could get to like half hp
Of course for Normal mode
Savage has never worked that way
For normal mode yeah but savage no
so it has the weakest sustain among the tanks?
or drk?
In a vacuum single target drk probably
But then we'd be going into a diff discussion w/ tank mits
hmm
Sustain is only part of a tank's strengths
Also living dead is it’s own can of worms, because GOLLY
well I mean if we're gonna put in LD then that becomes hella jank
It's technically sustain but then you use your invuln and have to get to the point of there in the first place
Normal. Mode yes
It's largely situational
Especially with how busted heart of corjndum is
so only pld and war has good sustain
And since living dead gives a 1500 pot heal
And war is reliant on cds
They're all fine
PLD has situational healing in req phase + gnb can auroro/HoC someone else often
how long is equilibrium cool down
So stop worrying about what's "best"
I could say clemency on pld but using that in the first place is kinda sus
And just play what you want
And it’s not like your healer just stopped existing all of a sudden
Bloodwhetting is the upgrade to Raw Intuition
im not worrying abt best, i need sustain
Lasts another GCD + shield + more mits for initial 4 seconds
Bloodwhetting reduces damage you take and heals you for a small percent of the damage you deal
And applies a shield
And a shield
It's flat potency
Not damage done
oke so mits but no heals right
Its flat damage for 4 seconds
You heal based on how many targets you hit with a weaponskill
In Stem the flow
For 8 seconds
So it works like kardia for sage?
oh
uhhh i guess?
And all tanks can survive for long enough, it’s literally just a matter of preference
Yeah but same concept is what I mean
i meant for solo content @boreal storm
Either way it's cracked on trash
If you "need" sustain you've got bigger issues than tank choice
wym
Need implies youre dying in solo content which means you're fucking up elsewhere
Soloing bosses unsynced is not solo content
Any job can clear hoh
And for dungeons that's ignoring the existence of a healer
If you die in dungeons someone fucked up royally
Just play what you want
And GNB is considered one of the best in HoH
healers are bad so i normally use pld for dungeons, ao i can heal myself so i was thinking which other job can heal similarly
Because the best mitigation of all is DAMAGE
I've seen war literally not dying without a healer
Stop playing with trash people then
Wow rude to your healers
i don't control who i play with
dont clemency on paladin
bloodwhetting is post shb skill right
Even the vast majority of the braindead people in DF can press a button now and then to heal
If its a recurring issue odds are you're the common denominator
lv 84 gives pld the heal buff so no need for clem right
During req phase yes
It's not enough in trash pulls
But you shouldn't need to clemency at all
oh
In an average setting
holy circle isn't amount of mobs hit instead a base heal?
It helps as extra sustain but it's covering a few autos at most
Just per cast
Not hit
Holy Spirit/Circle/Confiteor combo is same potency per cast
Not hit
sustain is
not really a good point to look at
when picking tanks for what you want
only real outlier is warrior in dungeons but that's solely because of Raw Intuition/Bloodwhetting
I prefer drk in 90 dungeons bc you can kill everything faster than other tanks
Can't take dmg if they die
what NPC do I go to to use these old Tomestone?
Mor dhona, middle girl in a booth of 3
should, yeah
is there Poetics gear for lv 80 now?
yes
