hey, whats BLU like?
wow sinus crafts still got hands
i don't wanna eat my food :((
wow even food isn't enough for guaranteed max
Outside of the grind to get every spell, the job has a pretty braindead healer-like rotation outside of their burst window which is just chock full of bullshit they spam /affectionate
that bad huh
oh boy..might have messed up my chocobo dyeing..
It’s a very strong job, don’t get me wrong, but it is kinda simple outside of burst if you aren’t trying to be fancy
Fair enough
the burst is very, very "random blu shit go"
Oh theres no specific rotation?
with a forced 15s of "you burnt out nuking the boss"
or is there a flowchart rotation
BLU has a handful of core spells and the rest is whatever
is the octuple weave still alive?
as a BLM and a RDM, I am a simpleton that knows two combos 
blu has 124 spells so yes theres a set opener you can do for optimal play, but you can also just have random bullshit go
imsorrywut
its a limited job
not made or allowed for normal content outside of unrestricted parties
so they can do whatever they want with it
You can learn how to vomit fish at people 
thats why wynne mentioned spell grinding
It's an interrupt, it's actually useful
cause you have to unlock every spell by seeing an ememy do it, then kill it to learn it

oh god
I think not then for simply my brain would fry going around and getting them all
which you get as a reward for learning x amount of spells
maybe when I have done most of all else
The game hints at where you can get the spells
its also a lower lvl cap then everything else
We still had to learn that one, it was just in a cutscene
and we're getting beastmaster in september, our second limited job
had to beat down a kraken with your bare hands
which will have a lvl cap of 50
Oh huh
Also its main source of exp is killing overworld mobs
beastmaster is simllar process of grind for your buttons
since it can't queue for dungeons and roulettes like a normal job
but you grind for different monsters to summon for different attacks and such
god thats so fuckin weird
Hello anyone know why is it that when I defeat gauis it doesn’t let me fight the ultima weapon? A portal appears in front of me to leave the dungeon but I don’t get a new instance to fight the ultima weapon?
they're basically their own minigames/isolated side content
using existing content as its playground
Have you left the praetorium yet
probably still have praetorium selected
Prae and decumana are seperate duties
hit the clear selection button at the bottom of the duty finder window
and select porta decumana
porta decumana is under the trials section
I’ve beaten gauis twice and I don’t see a new duty on my list to do?
Unless I’m confused
It's not in trials?
yes
yes
because its not a dungeon
Dude I’ve been queuing the same dungeon
Lolol
Got it
It’s a trail
Dude I just did the gauis quest 3 times
Lmfao
its ok, getting your reps in for Main Scenario Duty Roulette
Thanks guy I’ll check the trails one after I get out of this. I’m like there no way I have to do this all over again right?
you'll get used to it
I thought I was doing something wrong

well uh
Well I was but yeah
You can queue in main scenario roulette to get these duties + meridianum again for big exp and poetics once a day
I’ve heard Nero’s whole speach 3 times
But if you don't want to, no need to
Okay I’ll check it out right now
You need to finish decumana first methinks 
too bad its not still part of the dungeon
hai im looking for a "mentor" or something along the lines haha i am super new to ff14 and im abit overwhelmed so need someone to help me learn more about the game and help me >< ! also i know i could watch videos on the game and i have but that just barely scratches the surface ^^
just ask whatever questions you have here =)
there's always people hanging out to help,
novice network:
i super duper relate to u queen. i tried to play this game about 3 times until i was like ok i'm really gonna try this time. i watched the beginner guide by lucky ghost and also just dived right in with trial and error. I'm still a major noob but i kind of understand the basics of the basics and still learning new stuff
glad I came here and not went to NN
wait really?
I also answer stuff there as well
whats the novice network
A forum where sprouts and mentors can discuss
Intent being the mentor helps answer doubts sprouts ask
its a global chatroom
But some NNs end up becoming a 2nd free company/group chat for some folks
And as a result
is this on reddit or
In-game chat
its in game
ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh
oh dang my relic materials you could totally buy from your GC sold on the marketboard
okayy thank u so much !! ~ (sadly starting any mmo is overwhelming !! )
wowwwww profiting off stupidity ;_;
wait hold up, so novice network are like group chats, not a single global data centers for sprouts and mentors?
No and thank god no
They're world specific
There is no global chat NN

PS omg i didnt mean actual mentor i meant a teacher !
I was under an imperssion of such
Yea.. again i wont say mentors in game are bad
There r good ones as well
But its the classic apples in a box case
You have good apples
You have bad apples
tbh no 1-to-1 teacher-student program exists here, if you have like a big list of questions you can make a new thread in #1116899335628668979
its just burger king crown anyway for me 
Hence the meme yea
It'll be a bit more focused at least
The bad apples are why it is called BK crown
If the mentor has a level 100 BLM
Then its even better
if I use b2 against one mob, it's st :)
b2 used to be a point-blank on the caster
come on its simple you use B2 to switch and then Freeze for the mana
still is for grand company squadron npcs
Why did no one tell me monk is this fun
it always has been
There has been arguments in my NN chat regarding tank attitude in dungeons and all. To even having detailed discussion on mechanics of extremes and savages
even the pugilist quest stories are fun
I wish it stayed this simple :(
but its was for novice 
oh yeah
Why tf do i see idylic in NN
oh right checks notes its uhhh this crap
Discussion on m12sp2 mechanics
I’ve noticed NN regulars tend to have superiority complex
god that is so cursed
I love how fire2/blizz2 are so bad you genuienly just never use them unless you HAVE to
When u r a mentor with multiple legend titles to ur name
Am sure its them
They only see ultimates as challenging
Rest are a joke even if one struggled in it
I just got formless fist so now i’m terrorizing limsa with that bc it allows me to do the spin attack out of combat i forgot its name
Four point furry
I wish it was these kinda players only
Even when it comes to crafting
“Oh you’re… doing ||moon||? Stinky poor sprout, I leveled my crafters by spending millions on collectables”
shoutout to my g, dagoth ur
song:
Battle with the Four Friends Jazz Arrangement - Nobuo Uematsu & Masahi Hamauzu
BALLS
If you did stuff like DSR, TOP and FRU yea to you chaotic is casual
The thing is ultimates are 8 man duties, Imagine doing something slightly harder than casual with 28 players
I thought they were quieter
24* but.true
See those r done in discords where
Most have cleared some amt of high end
So ur perception is skewed
Towards those peeps
I did chaotic unsynced like 10-15 times
Yee no it’s just sprouts with genuine questions + passive aggressive mentors
And last week we only had 3 wipes
I guess this is the same people that would quit a dungeon on a slightest hiccups 
I see. Now i barely engage in NN anymore
This is, unfortunately, because the intended aoe cycle is hellaciously bad damage right now
that's crazy

imagine passive aggressive to an actual sprouts
This is 100% true
But like JUST ANSWER THEIR WUESTION
They just kept going back and forth
I mean I get but what a loser these people are in a beginner group chat with that attitude
that's like reddit mod ah shit

The crown
i am king/s
looks at you
All aether current quests done for zone 5
wasn't the reason you got your crown so you could get back into the novice network and ask for carries on old high end content
👀
Ehh no
yeah but you're a paladin, you're hoighty toighty and need to get off your soap box xD /s
I try not to unless it’s necessary, and I just go “blank, can I offer you a tip?”
Now i dont have to worry in 8.0 about that
Most of the time they’re willing to listen
schmoovin
all hail the king
we heed the call and rise to the fight
Well yes most of my people i met in sprout were 8/10 healers and 2/10 dps
kek
This may be too opinion-based for q&h but what tank do yall recommend for someone who still doesn’t understand the controller huds :D
roll a d4
LOL ok that was my second method
Warrior and paladin are easier to get into but rly, pick what you like the vibes of
Wonderful that makes my life much easier
Drk is a solid endgame tank too^
nah use it to wind down for bed and fall asleep in your chair

bro looks like a durian
that's what my 45% congac is for
Crab?
a giant one, and an enemy one
lucky its not a spider
I wish to jail Trachtoum for misinformation x2
yeah TT cards burning me out its lego batman time
I knew it was coming as soon as they told me to go to Grey Fleet again
sup noobs
upsetti cause Materia is a dead server when people are at work ;_;
:(
Well Materia is pretty dead either way
Unfortunately
yeah, problems of being from Aus
No it’s mainly cuz the server was introduced way too late in the games lifetime and most AUS players already had fully established themselves elsewhere so there was barely any initiative for them to swap over
Maybe I do pay and move to NA and just deal with the ping
would help my progress since I've gotta do a Raid and a Trial rn to progress MSQ
I’d say get noclippy but
idk how it works and idk if you on console oops
!faq ftgil
"Active interval"
tyhsm
Themis the tone thing isn’t even much of an issue I think
Question for the people since I just first visited Gold Saucer: is this "air force one" thing something I should have done? It looked competitive so I chickened out
have you ever played a on rails shooter
It will be a lil, only reason I've been on so much last 2 days is cause I was sick, so I'll have to work it around my full time job
Oh it’s not that difficult
Like a star fox?
ig
You can def do it!!
its just that
You just on a ride essentially and shoot targets as they appear
@brisk helm are you awake
Everyday I wake up and sash’s name becomes more cursed
they are a gremlin, in the best way
not awake to troll then, back to finals and hd2 suffering
they do this to themselves lol
theres no "pvp" besides TT in the gold saucer
oh and chocobo racing and i think lord of verminion?
And technically fall guys when it reruns
true
which even then for TT card you have to go out of your way to right click on a player and challenge them to a duel
Man, there are like no hairstyles I want for my character besides the one I started with
Coraaaal
Hi hi I am also a hsr player
me too!!

Global noooooo

also my chronic pain flare up ended and I got to start playing ffxiv again yippee
I spent all my saved pulls on SW999 lol
Coral I’m still mad you not NA
got her e4
I wish I could transferrr, everyone else I know who plays is on NA too
hoyo please let me pay for a server transfer like ffxiv
are you on EU coral
asia
oh..

Points
the friend that got me into the game was on asia but they’ve since stopped playing so now I’m just stuck here
Go on accept

He so smol
I’m vibing with my daughter minion
Man guess I'll do my RDM quest while I hope duty finder pops Whorleater
I need these daily roulette DRKs to understand that I CANNOT heal them as much as they need if they don't use their mitigation
You can't pull the entirety of Stone Vigil and expect me to keep up I don't even have Lustrate in that dungeon
I need healers to understand to not heal my ass when I use living dead
YET HERE WE FUCKING ARE

understandable if you still only have arr gear
Tbh I don't know how DRK kit works so that might be on me
Doesn't it scale you down if your gear out levels the duty?
you can keep up, just need to spam heals more
I only have three options and I pop them all
fuck
you will have the best stats if scaled down
YAY WHORLEATER POPPED
they dont
Only warrior can invuln in SV
but I think thats in general
spam adlo if need be
I was
That doesn't save his ass from being chomped by 12 lil dragons
Living dead essentially wants the DRK to die when that happens they enter walking dead in which they can manually heal themselves up from with their aoes
They essentially cheat dead it’s a couple of seconds you genuinely don’t need to look at the DRK for
I had to res the guy so I don't think he was doing that
They can completely manage themselves
They barely need any assistance
Since they heal while "walking dead" buff is up
Healing the DRK during the living dead window prevents them from using the mitigation to its full potential hence
Just don’t heal them when they use it
Also stone vigil
Okay, but if they die then I should have healed them surely?
theyre in stone vigil
they wouldnt have living dead
Oh no I was just explaining how the mit itself works cuz of the response they gave me to the comment I made LMAO
Fr could they not have made it just... One level higher so I could have Lustrate
Doesnt work on em
ideally you sprint out of combat cuz then it's 20seconds instead of 10
to keep up with the tank
Warrior atleast can holmgang in that dungeon
I do my best to keep up with the tank
Tanks pulling the entire things with all the ice mobs and being confused as to why more often than not they die 
I feel my soul leave my body if I manage to keep the tank alive
well dont get discouraged - as i said Stone vigil is a bit rough
Fairy can't heal them if I'm not nearby (I know the fairy has a big range)
Most tanks stop before ice mobs
In SV
Most mobs are fine
The ice ones hurt the most
Oh my guy was dying way before the ice sprites lol
!action dark mid
true
The responses I get to this topic are wildly different, it's so interesting
Like half the people I ask about this say "oh no, Stone Vigil is a pain to w2w" and the other half say it's the only thing to do
Arms length did they use?
wait at RDM60 can I just melee combo twice?
And reprisal
!action dark mind
They are also considered mitigations
you w2w like 99% of dungeons, some arr dungeons, stone vigil being one, are very awk to w2w but still doable
I only ever saw two icons on their bar that weren't mine but idk what the icons look like because I'm focused on my job, not theirs
Must be rampart and wall yea
Ig but cant confirm
That's their tank stance
Ok he used wall
Purple one is shadow wall?
!action Shadow wall
!action rampart
Wow no icon
roasted
But yeah, I'm trusting people to do their jobs so I don't check them too much
I also don't know how to check their gear anyway

yeah many people don't do their jobs well lmfao
Right click-> inspect
PS5
I don't even know how to do BLM rotation efficiently without fucking xD
Whatever you need to get your spells going, I guess
well BLM has a different rotation every 5 levels
No art of war, no lustrate, no nothin
Ye
I will confess I did an oopsie on another Stone Vigil when I forgor to resummon my fairy but that only happened once!
is job quests spoilers or nah post em here
Spoilers, though the pre-30 class quests are kinda whatever in what story they might have
I think they're spoilers to discuss what happens
Work
so probs general lore and spoilers post then?
werk
I’d use the channel relevant to their level, so ARR for 1-50
General Lore is no holds barred and can get you spoiled on anything
Aww I like Ol' Jacke and sandwich catte
Like how Urianger is secretly hot
?
ah ok just posting about the hot bad guy
30 raids in no TT drop i think i hate these rates
harvest why are you big bazonga alcoholic lady
Ah you're suffering from the Desire Sensor that got installed in your PC when you installed a MMORPG
it automatically knows what you crave and desire then keeps it from you
raid roul gave me the 9th clown
i just wanna be free
these are my final 2 cards from raids
Ugh I wanna use sage so badddd
But I don't wanna pay for a story skip because I need healing experience and also I wanna experience the story
WHY ARE THE BAD GUYS ALWAYS SO FUCKING PRETTY MAN
Get to level 70
On a job
Then in limsa
I'd rather have the experience of healing under my belt first
I'm playing Scholar so I have an idea of how I should play
yeah fair
sage is like 100 feet from the aetheryte
just do your daily roulettes to speed up your xp
also are you full game or free trial
i forgor
Which on healer is the quickest
I'm tryin mhm mhm
Since q times are instant
Trial
Challenge log xp, hunts, roulletes, tribes
WHAT
You have lot of sources to level up
you need endwalker registered to your account
Sage reaper
Sage needs ew
which is not part of free trial/standard
Viper and picto
bruhHHH
None of these 4 ft can play
!faq editions
I don't like the amount of stuff Scholar has so I guess I'll be forced to buy the damn game
Very cheeky squeenix
But yea if it helps
Get to level 70 then buy game for sage
I don't even know if I'll like Sage, it just seems right but I could be very wrong lmao
you might say the same for sage
True but my main problem with Scholar is the whole Dismissal mechanic
I don't like the idea of managing it
Dismissal?
Dissipation ig
That yes
oh that
look sometimes you jus tneed to eat the faire for extra juice
it comes back on its own np
Scholar is a bit like the "tool for every occasion" healer
Its yummy
Yeah, I'm not quite big brained enough for that
I like the idea of a healer that heals by doing damage
Yea sage is that
I've never had to eat the fairy in normal content, I only do it out of boredom
Kardia heals arent as strong as sch fairy heals
I get the feeling learning to use Eukrasia is gonna be a tricky experience
Eukrasian Prognosis can go die in a ditch
Eukrasia is pressing 2 buttons to do function of 1
Does EVERY sage skill have two versions or what
barely, only 10 pot
Thats it
Only single target and aoe
Dosis, diagnosis, prognosis, dyskrasia
Okay not so bad
Mhm mhm
@bitter tiger
Dosis/dyskrasia are DoT and diagnosis/prognosis is the shield gcd
And then there's Addersgall/Addersting
Thats just free heal and damage
But that's not so different from Aetherflow stuff
The kit is pretty condensed and streamlined once you get a hold of it
Too streamlined....
I more meant like, managing stacks to spend
addersgall you just always use to not stay at 3 for mp economy, addersting is just a happy accident when you need to shield and it breaks
So what ogcd does Sage have then
The choles
It has few
Riiiight
Ixichort
Well not few but same amount as sch i imagine...its been a while since i played healers
Roughly speaking
druo = lustrate
ixo = indom
kera = sacred soil
Tauro is a bigger druo
Deals unaspected damage to target and all enemies nearby it with a potency of 400 for the first enemy, and 30% less for all remaining enemies.
Additional Effect: Restores HP to targets under the effect of Kardion granted by you
Cure Potency: 170
Maximum Charges: 2
Recast timer cannot be affected by status effects or gear attributes.
when you get it, toxicon (the button that uses addersting stacks) is less damage than your normal ST attack, at like lvl 82 it becomes damage neutral in ST.
This stuff
I think my main problem as a healer rn is I'm stuck in the mindset that I have "rotations" when it's more that I should just be doing damage and healing as needed with what's needed
Yeah
Phlegma in lower level content is so fun ngl
Healing and mitting is more based on mech
Damage wise they are fairly simple
For dungeons you can yolo a lot
omg they s o cute;; yunli has a sugar painting treat :(
Fancy
Thing is with Sage, my "doing damage" IS healing as needed until big stuff comes along and I need to drop a chole or something
So it feels right
Yea tauro is a heal+mit
Spam eprog to win /s
Sch has fatter shields
Would it be a good idea (once I unlock Sage) to do a few low level dungeons/raids to understand my tools and work my way up to the full kit?
i like playing sge when i wanna turn my brain off and i like playing sch when i actually wanna play a barrier healer
The fattest
Yea
Not that low level imo
SCH is the only real shield healer
SGE can only become a shield healer by burning its entire kit
sge has shields but like most of its buttons just feel like and are straight up mits
Yeah
Thing is I'm not noticing much shielding happening as Scholar but idk maybe I'm just not high enough level to notice? I drop a Adloquium before a boss and I pop my fairy healing plus a Succor when AOE damage comes
Sch has its jank
Hello need help spam dungeon to get to lvl 60.
Since it's more pure healing and instacast it's a lot more straightforward
Duty support exists, use it
honestly i like never use shields period in normal content
unless shit is being eaten
i just mit and heal ogcd through most my issues
or theres downtime
Release day spreadlo is so good
It'll be nice to unlock Sacred Soil and Indomitable
i wish sacred soil was good low level 
It's SOMETHING I can use
We are 2 newbies in the party. We cant start with NPC 🙁
i prefer to use my aetherflow on anything else
I mean I did use Lustrate pretty good on my first time using it
lustrate, indom, and excog are just much better buttons than SS until it gets its regen trait
10% mit with nothing or a heal
or even just energy drain
kerachole is the same right?
Instead of 10% mit, its take 90% of damage suffered
Kera is better because you dont have to stand inside circle
true
For some reason they just worded this button differently...
very smart devs, you wouldn't understand
As a new sprout Scholar: my mindset is "save the stacks of Aetherflow until someone needs Lustrate, if Aetherflow is coming back, pop Energy Drains between Ruins"
yeah thats the mindset all the way till endgame
Ed is kinda shit ass button tbf
just replace lustrate with other buttons
But damage is damage
If any button is on the chopping block for evo mode I'd bet on ED
Does Lustrate get replaced by Excog, I'm guessing?
Excog has higher cd
Excog is better
excog is better yeah, but it has a 45cd
But you use both
so you can't spam it like lustrate
I seee
Ngl since I haven't reached it yet, I'm really struggling to manage the ideas of the tactics
short answer, you don't bother
In dungoens you wont be using a lot of your healer kit
Like Deployment Tactics: my best shield is Adloquium, does that really matter enough to spread to the party?
Because content dont need it
you get other buttons to help make it better
Ohhh like the autocrit

you can protraction dissipation an adlo for a guarantee crit heal and more healing done for biggest shield
then use deployment to spreadlo it
for giga party wide shield
Then see boss do raidwide which eats only 30% of it
I keep seeing this spreadlo word and I dont know what it means
Very cool
Ah
spreadlo
Spread Aldi
See I hate the idea of dissipation
i've never used it i think lmfao
I'm too used to the fairy handling stuff
emergency, deployment, and dissipation are like almost never needed in normal content
stuff never hits that hard or is dangerous enough unless everything is going to shit and you need to clutch up
Like I said you wont be using most of your kit in dungeons
Expedient is funny though
Basic aoe heals and single target heals just do the job
But I'm trying to learn so I don't develop bad habits 😟
Nothing wrong with using em if you wanna
yeah no problem trying, just know its not the end of the world if you don't always giga properly use it
cause its really only needed in high end stuff, or when shit hits the fan
Yoshi p said if you wanna heal then play ult 
idk why I chose to be a healer lol I hate responsibility but it just feels right
sometimes i use dissipation just to spam ED 3 times 
Eat her
Which happens extremely often in roulettes whenever a new patch drops
Do u know that video of the whm watching their scholar spamming ED and crying
Also
Certain raids (and certain alliance raids like orbonne) do have good amount of healer importance
wait no that sounds awesome
delete energy drain
delete energy drain
ty sedos for the idea
#ffxiv #ff14 #whmgang
Spam medica 2 to victory yippie
OH HER LMFAOOO
It goes in the square hole

The sound of dissipation playing just to get more EDs
WHY ARE THERE 80 LVL 50 QUEST
Don't tell me you never did that to make the last boss of the dungeon die 3 seconds sooner 
you still have more arr to do
because they were added over the course of the patch cycle between ARR release and HW release
im in a never ending loop
Because it's 2 years of content
thats crazy
Orbonne has stuff a healer has to pay attention to iirc
When i die to armor crush
Every expnasion has post msq quests
Do they at least give good exp?
how dare they add more story content
No
Arr is longest at 80
no
You thought you were finished with ARR
Heavensward starts at 50
Aw
You don't need exp
Hw onwards its like 50
They give poop exp because at the time they would give zero exp
dw Im here with you Em
But what about second breakfast
And also set hp 1 to and doom unless full HP
I want saaaaage
Or elevensies
Raid roul?
hard queuing p8/12
Oh well, nothin to do but get back to the grind
Oh cards
Pretty sure I'm coming up to that block of level 50 quests myself
yessir too bad im a slow reader
I got p8 card when duoing that unsynced
Counting them wont help
im tempted to just put up a pf to unsync, i just keep queuing thinking no one gonna join
not tonight though
I think i have p12 card but im missing p8
p18 
i really enjoyed the moogle boss fight
Extra pandae
Pandamoniumiumiumiumium
Just duo it solo
Cos towers
p8/12 are the 2 last raid cards i need
7.0 final trial and 7.4 trial are the last trial cards i need
lvl 83, 6.1/2/4/5 are the last dungeon cards i need
then random bullshit for the rest
dw take it in, absorb the twists cause theres enough of em
i am not looking forward to grinding for the EO and PT cards
i hope out of all those drop the quickest.......
Evercold is soon enough that waiting could be comfy to unsync with 110 evo jobs
Work on the DD ones first
btw most amazing armour set
should work on the stuff i can't unsync first
leopard print AND denim booty shorts
and forked tower
I want to punch this fuckin guy
which i got my clear so i can join reclear groups now!
but that means i have to do forked tower again
Cats aggroed me
Now 2 cats are beside me

Ngl i do give some of my food to cats in office now
i should but i wanna solo it and im too dumb
Rainbow shrub just kind of gate keeps much easier bosses
I hate that shrub
I feel like a complete idiot because i just die
Its a hard dps check thanks to those adds stunlocking you with chain knockbacks until you eat the boss's stomp
there's nothing to fear from shrubs though
Hi ebi
Rainbow shrubs tho...
the inbetween of all the bosses are what i hate
its all so slow
especially cause the TT card are from accursed hoard
Some floors have a sadistic amount
so i gotta scour each floor just incase
and can't just open portal to next and go on
at least i think
i really don't know best way to farm those
There are occasionally PF listings just for hoarde farming
Better snipe those when you can while working on things
It's a nice bit of story clearing the base floors
I like the response you can give the NPC
i just need to set aside an afternoon and put up a pf for a clear run
oh no
he ded
Wondering if I should stay on the free trial til Evercold comes out
Instead of buying Complete and then being forced to get EC separately
depends on if you finish shadowbringers until then
If you want
depends, do you see yourself beating endwalker/dawntrail in the next 2 months or so?
You would be paying double
cause its only 7 till evercold
No lmao
But I want Sage real bad
Ec will have dt
then wait, although tbh, if you dont,you will still have to play for 100 or more hours just to reach evercold lol
I've never played an MMO before so this price structure seems awful
You're just unlucky timing wise
Its been there since 2013
It's be nice to join an FC so I have people to socialize with and maybe do Eureka and other trickier content with
It's what, 30 euro every 2 and a half years
God I pray I get Darkness done tonight
dont forget the mandatory sub once you do buy the expansion
so add that on, on top of the price for the expansion
Which is less than a netflix sub
Sub for the time you play
If you sub for 6 months and play like 20 days
Then thats on you
Unrelated: I don't care how many people the guild sends, I am not doing these damn leve quests
If you can't comfortably pay a sub a paid mmo isn't really for you
Also you don't have to continuously sub
Well you don't have to do leves so
I sub for once a month only since I am not sure if i will play it beyond it and if i do i sub back
ngl the only thing i hate about ff14, is once you buy a sub, if you stop, you dont just revert to the free trial like say swtor where if you stop you get preferred status and still keep playing for free
If not then its a break
Yeah but they keep appearing on the "recommended" list when I boot the game lol
Because it's a trial not a free mode
Turn those off
Xiv wants you to pay
You can turn of those recommendation
there's an option in settings to turn recommendations off
Xiv is not interested in offering a free version
When you login
Free trial is there for that only
Play however much you want
No limits
it's how a game stays alive and active for so long
Its a decent compromise
If they did that I'd probably hole up in the inn room and play around with glams, and probably not pay as much as I have to
and doesnt have pay to win stuff
I'm already doing that now with my FT alt and plogons
if you think that's bad you should see the free ones
sure you get to play for free but the game's gonna wave a donation bowl in your face every chance it gets
when it comes to mmos, there's a few options that companies can go for their way of making money
f2p with a cosmetic store that is often times aggresively pushed onto the player and typically decently pricey
or sub based
I mean shit I play Gacha games, I'm no stranger to predatory financial offers
noooo no no
doesn't help that 14 was created in the era when pretty much every mmo was a sub based one
or expansions priced like a full AAA game
even with gacha stuff you can usually avoid paying for the most part
you have some out there that are a bit of a mix, like swtor and eso that are f2p with optional subs or gw2 which has a f2p base game but expansions are paid
It's been a good long while since I last played maplestory
But I remember the cash shop was always in your face, bots advertising RMT, etc
the games i've played in the past you barely had to interface with it
at the end of the day, company has to make money to keep the servers going ya know
basically the game is just a storefront with a few bells and whistles
14 being a buy the game and sub based means that a lot of the more aggressive micro transcations are kept relatively low
Actually remembering FFXIV isn't my first MMO. I remember playing something called Eden Eternal back in like 2010
Hardly any "game" because of autobattle and shite
not to say that 14 doesn't have any, but generally they're not in your face
or really needed
my new magic book has a face on it
They never advertise the cash shop in game and the only link to it is via dream fitting
Which is imo a good choice
They sure have faces sometimes
give yoshi p and his team the elixir of youth
Like come on bungie ;_;
thwomp?
Ah yes a Whomp
oh whomp
Thwomp are the ones that levitate
whomp whomp
Loads Shotgun
Wheres that fuckin Orca
Question: do they ever stop doing these silly quest objectives where they're like "you should express my *DOUBT* to him!" and it's like "I get what you're asking for but this feels braindead"
the /emote required quests aren't terribly common
Peak design ngl
but they do still happen
no
emoting? no
What if i tell you there's 50 more of these quest throughout the whole msq?
Alongside some of them asking to type a sentence
I wish there were more emotes tbh
Why can I not curtsey
you can unlock more
The worst i found was SHB
There's more oyu can unlock
Because many of them can be unlocked by playing the game
No I mean
I looked online and I can't find a curtsey emote
snae ling
Noughts and Crosses

idk why people are fussed about say chat stuff
esp if you're a keyboard and mouse user
COPY AND PASTE THE PHRASE
Embarassed from failing said chat 
Exactly
I find it fun to build a sentence around the phrase
OOOO
copy and paste
Others can see it is the problem
never fear failing in chat again
Yep
your god is come
there's /bow if you're a fem lala

I prefer the SCH one with the rotary feathers
Thats epic
Midlander I'm afraid
They had the hair I liked
Is that from a cast or the book
thats a book
understandable 😌
Book
When you unsheathe it
Oooh
hello blounge
It will automatically reveal wing
Also its the easiest relic to get imo if not counting endwalker

This Scholar hat looks so dumb in cutscenes lmao
Yup Limsa Lominsa
lemme guess, you're the middle
wht
Oh I thought each person has a point system for catches and you were the on in the middle
no those are my last 3 catches from spectral
A
yeah theres a leaderboard at the end of the boat
Oh I just had a horrible experience
Went into aurum vale for the first time, and I didn't know what was happening, and the tank kept dying and people said I could be a bot and I turned off the game in a panic
Oh I feel like a real piece of shit for that
I can't communicate, I don't have a keyboard...
I apologized a bunch before getting too embarrassed
ig i cant be ontop of every boat
Noku?
Can't do much else than continuing and trying to learn from the wipes
Thing is it all happened so fast I couldn't learn anything
Then they ran off and left me behind while I was still slowed and paralyzed and etc etc
What hit you to make you slowed?
to my knowledge I swear I haven't done Aurum Vale
I don't remember there being anything of the kind
The only slow should be the Morbols in there
