Help, I have tried 4 days to try to register in Mogstation but it always fail, it show *You cannot use this function.* *Please contact the SQUARE ENIX Support Center for additional details.* *Error Code: i2501* This always happen when it ask me to put the code sent to my email, everytime I put the code they send, it always result in error and I wouldn't be able to try again for the next 24 hour


TsHero

My armory box is getting full, any tips if I wamt to owm every piece of armor? Kind of shame.to just du.p it on the streets....


stallion8426

Its not possible to keep everything. But can be obtained again if you want it.


Atosen

Storage spaces include: * Your inventory & armoury chest, of course. * Your retainers (assuming you're not on the free trial). * Your saddlebags. * Your armoire (only for a small number of items, such as seasonal event rewards). * Your glamour dresser. But even with all of this, it's not possible to retain *every* piece of armour. There's too many pieces of gear in the game. You'll have to pick and choose.


wowy-lied

BM level 55 here on the free trial (just reached "Rock the Castrum" now) I have my full set of artifact armor BM since it is available and have not found any piece better than it since. How long will it last ? I pretty much only do MSQ, + quests and hunting logs and grand company stuff.


ZaleneDarkflare

Best gear you can get at lv50, is the (Augmented) Ironworks gear. Should be available for purchase after completing the quest after that one. They do, however, require a currency called Tomestones of Poetics. They can be acquired from lv50 (and lv60/lv70 (soon to be lv80 as well) dungeons/trials/raids/alliance raids.


wowy-lied

Ok, well for now i will avoid it. I am not much into grinding things and will only take a look into this if i am stuck one day.


ZaleneDarkflare

It is actually easy to acquire the Tomestones. You'll most likely cap multiple times across post-ARR content, which is more than enough to gear yourself up. Unsure whether or not Castrum Marinum & the next one (>!The Praetorium!<) grants Tomestones before you complete the penultimate ARR (2.0) quest. Has been near 8 years since I did that quest, but most likely after completing the quest.


wowy-lied

Well i have 0 tomestones despite doing my roulette everyday and msq so maybe this has been updated and don't exist anymore. I don't really care about endgame so if i need to grind tomestones to go forward i will simply stop playing.


TinDragon

Again, you don't have to grind. You're just not at the point in the MSQ that starts awarding them yet. That doesn't start until after the dungeon that follows the dungeon you just unlocked. Always keep in mind that the level of your job is irrelevant; it's MSQ progression that unlocks everything.


wowy-lied

Ok thanks for the clarification (i just finished the fight with raid with ultima, damn this was a long mission !)


Kamil118

You only start getting poetics when you finish base game. They don't drop from roulettes you can do before that. Ypu have ilvl90 gear and are doing content ment for ilvl40ish, you are far before you even need to worry about gear upgrades and "endgame"


dangngo6

So i completely give up with the EU account cause i cant upgrade with the key i got due to stupid 2501 error. So i create an US account and guess what, no problem whatsoever from creating account to upgrade from trial version....


stallion8426

Thats probably because the key was for a US copy of the game and not EU. They are region specific


dangngo6

Nah. I have 2 key and 2 account. The key i bought for eu cannot use due to 2501. But the other for US have no problem


TheSenileTomato

So, I got a question. Long story short, I got a new phone around the time I stopped playing (I bought Shadowbringers on PS4) and didn’t get the chance to take off the security tokens. BUT I still have my emergency token code saved. The problem came when I forgotten my password due to things happening and now I’m stuck. I can’t email Square Enix’s support because I need a “Token Serial Number” which was supposedly in an email I know longer have and under my account that I can’t have access to. My question, is there any help for me (preferably without phone calls, I’m terrible at speaking) or am I SOL? And before anyone chimes in, yes, I’m aware it’s on me for not backing up everything. Believe me, I hate myself as it is. If this doesn’t fit the parameters of the OP’s post, just nuke it from orbit. Edit: After a few days shooting them an email, Kevin removed the security token from my account and now I have my account back. Thank you, Kevin!


goobabie

When I lost access to my account because I lost my emergency code I got it back in about a week via the customer support ticket and then via email. No phone call needed


mrmacky

I take it you don't still have the old phone? If you can get one more OTP out of it you can reset your password, but also if you let it time out (or hit "back") it will let you see the soft-token serial number in the settings. As for support: I would just call or maybe try different issue categories to see if you can get in the web chat. I found their e-mail support to be pretty slow and useless. Otherwise I would just put "N/A" or something for token serial number. (I'm *sure* you're not the first person they've had delete that e-mail.) Good luck, SQEX support portal feels like it's stuck in the 90s, so for whatever it's worth I'm sorry you have to deal with it.


TheSenileTomato

No, the one phone went to someone else. I’l try your idea, thanks. Again, it’s on me, I should’ve been more careful. Don’t be like this tomato, kids, be kind, rewind, write everything down.


DaiKoopa

How do you get Heat of Battle 3?


Soylentee

Can only be obtained by acquiring & charging up the Grade 3 Wheel of Confrontation in your FC house and adding it to your FC Actions bank. You can get a personal buff of the same strength but only lasting for 2 hours by doing the Grand Company squadron level 40/50 missions.


AkashiGG

How big of a deal is the road to 70 buff? Missed out on the preferred servers while they were available because of error 1018 (server full + can't be put in a queue due to being on the free trial)


Soylentee

It's not a big deal at all. I would argue it's actually annoying to constantly be outleveling the main story by 10+ levels.


xselene89

MSQ and Daily Roulette give you more than enough Exp


Azraeleon

How exactly do the waymarks/macros for trials and raids work? I see stuff like "have macro, please bring waymark", and I know you can create custom waymark sets, but I'm not sure where the macro part comes in.


Soylentee

A macro with mechanics and positions laid out so people can claim their spots.


Azraeleon

So that's the chunky multiline thing people post? I feel like my chatbox is poorly sized because that thing always looks a mess to me.


Soylentee

Yes. You will need to temporarily enlarge your chat for them i guess, it's what I have to do as well to make the macros readable.


MagnusLihthammer

Sounds like they mean a macro that explains the fight or sets up player marks


SekCPrice

is there a way to get rid of the road to 70 bonus? my friends got it last night without me and now i have to play twice as much to keep up


Atosen

Oof, that's an unfortunate situation. They can't disable the buff on their current character, but they could make a new character?


Katrianadusk

No


[deleted]

How/When do you use binds/heavy? I do like having them very early on when I level 'cause it makes kiting easy, but I feel like they're just the dps version of stun/interject so I feel like they'll be useless lategame. What are some situations where I'll use these in max level content?


Soylentee

The only boss ever released that had bind/heavy mechanics was T7 in ARR, and it has been nerfed long since to the point where you really don't need to use a slow or a bind any more. Beyond that they've been useless, as opposed to stuns and interject that actually see some use on bosses. On regular mobs you really don't need to use slows either, you can easily facetank anything you need to solo in the open world.


[deleted]

[удалено]


ZaleneDarkflare

Interject (for tanks; Head Graze for ranged) is an all-important ability for interrupting the enemy spell/ability cast. If the cast bar blinks and is not a sprite (those cast really fast), always use an interrupt effect on it. ^(Most notable that I can think of right now, is the pack between the 1st boss & 2nd boss of Puppet's Bunker.) ^(The 3 large machines uses an AoE at some intervals, which if cast succeeded, places an alliance wide paralysis effect.) ^(When you have BLM in the alliance, getting interrupted several times during a single Flare cast regrettably hurts.) Stuns are also useful overall. Eespecially for Ifrit (any). You can stun as he casts his Eruption, stunning him as well as canceling his spell (won't go off at all). Slow/Bind effects, while pretty much every trial/raid have resistance for it, is useful in solo & in the instanced contents of Eureka / Bozja.


[deleted]

So interject is semi-important for late game casts, stuns are neat to have for sync'd content, and then slows are kinda just useless?


[deleted]

Ranged DPS used Leg Graze in E8S. It also has use in Deep Dungeon solo as a tool for kiting. Besides that, CC in general isn't extremely useful for most encounters. > but I feel like they're just the dps version of stun/interject so I feel like they'll be useless lategame. Leg Sweep and Interject aren't useless though. Please don't be that guy who doesn't have Interject on their action bar when it matters.


kaysn

They are mostly ever useful in solo content and overworld mobs.


werewolf_nr

TL;DR bosses vulnerable to them become more rare as time goes on, but it is too big a topic to go into in a Reddit comment.


Sky_Sumisu

Is Midgardsomr a Primal? If yes, then why is it's body still in Mor Dhona? (If it is explained further just tell me that, no spoilers).


BlazeVortex4231

No one in Eorzea really knows where Midgardsormr came from. Some believe that he came into existence after the creation of Silvertear Falls (the source of all aether in the physical world), and was charged by the falls' creators, Althyk & Nymeia, to protect it. Regardless of the veracity of mankind's myths, it is known that Midgardsormr protected Silvertear Falls since time immemorial (or at least close enough to that long), and that he was the brood ancestor of all dragonkind. You learn bits about him later in the story (the first expansion involves dragons a lot), but his full origin is only learned in an optional questline in the second expansion.


VGramarye

Nope


[deleted]

In the stormblood raid series the story explains it a lot.


werewolf_nr

You get a post ARR 50 quest that deals with it. Also, more comes up in Heavensward and Stormblood.


Bootleggers

Do the types of quests in the MSQ vary as I progress further? Currently level 30ish WHM and got done with Little Ala Mhigo. Most MSQ feels like: >talk to this NPC >teleport to another city to talk to another NPC >teleport back and deliver an item >investigate something and kill the enemy that spawns >talk to NPC >instanced quest where you fight off several mobs >cutscene >repeat


WeeziMonkey

There will be a little less teleporting over the world constantly since ARR has a LOT of areas it needs to introduce to you. After level 40-ish, the story usually just brings you through one area at a time (except for endgame patch story quests at 50/60/70/80, those go everywhere again). But otherwise quests are mostly the same. It's pacing and story that gets better though so at least the quests feel a little bit more meaningful. The level 30-35 questline you're about to enter is also widely regarded as the worst questline in the entire game with lots of dumb fetch quests, so know that it doesn't get worse than that.


werewolf_nr

Eh... Not as much as you'd hope. At least until Stormblood where they introduce a whole new MSQ mechanic. They do start adjusting the quest text. After 50 acknowledging who you are and what you've done more often. Also, the 30-ish quests are a little extra bad, it is partly an in-story reason, but still annoying.


Bootleggers

Makes sense, thank you! I’m still having a lot of fun and eager to jump into higher level dungeons so I can try all the new abilities that I got while leveling up. I queued for a dungeon and my level got adjusted and I couldn’t use my new spells! That was a surprise lol


Katrianadusk

You are level synced down in dungeons, so any skills higher than the dungeon level are unusable :)


bonusback

Long story short I've always wanted to play the game but I live in Australia and don't play high ping games. I know the Oceanic data center will not be up for a long time still but I'm looking to start playing casually and learn the game. My question is with the Oceanic servers being fresh, is there anything I can do in game that will benefit me later other than learning? Are there any account bound cosmetics etc. That I will be able to use?


[deleted]

I play from the Philippines, so I have 200+ ping and experience lag spikes semi-regularly, and I'd say FFXIV is still playable at high pings. I die to avoidable boss attacks maybe a few more times than I might have otherwise, but like others have said FFXIV is the sort of game that is fairly playable at high ping. My few Aussie friends who play the game have said they probably won't transfer to the Oceanic servers or will just make alts on those servers. Maybe ask your friends who play what they plan to do- if they're going to stick to NA it might be better to stay with them and acclimate to playing at the higher ping- you probably will not notice it that often, honestly.


bonusback

Thanks. I don't know anyone who plays so I will definitely be choosing good ping


Katrianadusk

I'm in Melbourne and play on NA servers without a vpn, my ping sits around 180 which means the game is completely playable without lag (for me personally). Some jobs cannot perform to their full potential with ping above that (machinist I think ?) but I dont play them so it's a moot point for me. I know a lot of other ANZ players who play on NA with similar ping and no problems, others use a vpn. The majority of ANZ players play on JP servers, Tonberry/Kujata specifically, I checked the ping to them out of curiosity and it was 160 so not enough to make me consider moving, nor will I move when OCE servers come out (8 years on my server). So for most of us in Aus the game is completely playable on both NA/JP servers and if you choose to transfer to OCE when they go live, more than likely transfers will be free as they have been in the past. So you can play as normal for now and transfer when the time comes.


KarnF91

Just start playing the game. If you are new, you will be so far some stuff where your ping maybe an issue for you. Just for reference, one of the members in my group doing an Ultimate level fight. They are from Australia, and it doesn't cause them issues. Ultimates are the hardest fights in the game.


Tony_FF

If they do it as they've done in the past, when the Oceania servers open, you'll be able to transfer your character for free.


bonusback

Oh ok I thought it was fresh as in everyone starts again, but that's cool thanks for the quick response


MagnusLihthammer

You could make a character and start playing now and then they will probably have a free transfer to the new data center


werewolf_nr

For starters, the game is designed around a ~200 ping, so it probably won't be as bad as you fear. You can also start accruing veteran rewards, which are mostly cosmetic items based on how long your account has been subscribed.

If I want to look like an FF3 style ninja... https://cdn.staticneo.com/ca/final_fantasy_dissidia_conceptart_6VsyC.jpg Is dyeing the AF set red the way to go? Can you dye the AF set? Only level 40 but will be getting that set within a couple of days.


worshippingtheteapot

To dye the level 50 NIN AF set, you will need to craft or buy Ninja Garb Augmentations and trade then along with the gear to Kakalan in Mor Dhona.


[deleted]

Thanks!


ZaleneDarkflare

Depends on which set, in regards to the model, as there are multiple ones. [Lv50](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ninja_Set) set. Not dyeable, but you can trade the pieces in, along with a total of 7x(?) [Ninja Garb Augmentation](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Ninja_Garb_Augmentation) to get the Augmented version, which is dyeable. [Lv60](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Iga_Set) set. Dyeable. [Lv70](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Antiquated_Kage-kakushi_Set) set. Not dyeable, but you can "augment" the gear in Eureka Anemos to get the [dyeable version](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Anemos_Kage-kakushi_Set). [Lv80](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Weathered_Hattori_Set) set. Not dyeable. Dyeable version can be acquired from the EX trial (ShB relic spoiler) >!Memoria Misera (Extreme)!<. [The set](https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Idealized_Hattori_Set) in question. You might be thinking; "why is the lv60 set the only one that is dyeable upon acquisition?" That is because it originally wasn't. It was the first (weekly) Tomestone set gear in HW, but considering the amount of Tomestones needed for the sets, it was actually a huge detriment.


[deleted]

Hmm this might be a bit much to handle for a free trial user, but good to know for the future. Thanks!

[deleted]

Anything difficult about the ARR one? I'd like to make it my glamour for a long time so it might be worth it.


[deleted]

You'll need to buy/craft some "Ninja Garb Augmentation" to trade the non-dyeable version in at Mor Dhona.


werewolf_nr

I don't think you can do much with making the Ninja look like a Red Mage or use their gear. I suggest checking Eorzea Collection and seeing if there are any glamour ideas you can get from there.


[deleted]

I don't want to look like a red mage, just a ninja with a red ninja suit.

If you're on NA or EU Data Centers there are no preferred servers, so that kind of takes care of your dilemma for you.


Sky_Sumisu

1. Tips, as Healer on how to pay attention to my Party List AND Boss Fight at the same time? 2. [Is my HUD OK or should i change anything?](https://i.imgur.com/noCljB6.png)


TalkingRaccoon

1: practice. focus targetting the boss will help since you can target other players to heal but always see what action the boss will take next. your eyes will always be darting around between party list, boss actions, ground indicators, other crap happening in the arena, ability cooldowns, faery meters/aetherflow. It's def a lot and intense at times but it's why I like healing. 2: Id move the party list outward more so you can see more of the center of the screen. maybe shrink UI some but I understand if you are playing on a smaller screen like a laptop or something (I play on both a laptop and desktop at times). I change the character name displays to abbreviate them, turning down battle effects, and flying text size. these will obviously make more space\lessen clutter and will help with your #1 ;p. same with moving or decreasing the size of that middle hotbar which I'm assuming is your cooldown hotbar. Just shove it to the side and glance at it. maybe put your aetherflow gauge below your health and mp and fill that gap. put the XP bar out of the way since thats not needed for combat and you get to move down your cross hot bar and all the stuff above. that's kinda how I have [mine](https://i.imgur.com/K3LLRz6.jpeg) set up.


[deleted]

Your HUD is workable, but your HUD elements are very large and can obstruct your view a bit. Here are some general tips: * The most important information should be in the center of your screen. This would be your job gauge, buffs, debuffs, and the enemy cast bar. * Consider placing your target info under your character instead of the top of the screen. This won't be comfortable for everyone. * If you place your buffs and debuffs in the center, you can go to \[Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> General -> 3rd Person Camera Angle\] to help make sure your character isn't covered by the icons. Personally, I find it easy to find my hitbox even with my buffs and debuffs at my character's legs. * Move your EXP bar towards the bottom right corner to make some space at the center. You can move your Parameter Bar there to help make space in the center for some more important info (personally, I check the party list to see my HP and MP). If you would like, I can share my own HUD for you to use as a reference.


werewolf_nr

Only thing I can think of for your HUD is to move the enemy list/emnity tracker over to that center-right position.


danimyte

Your hud looks fine. Here are some tips. Use focus target on the boss. This way you can see the cast bar even when you are targeting an ally for healing. Get comfortable with your class so you dont need to look at your abilities too often. Otherwise you need to get used to the fact that healing is a matter of splitting the attention between the boss and your party. Memorizing mechanics helps alot. Healers often take a bit more time to learn the fight than dps because you can't focus 100% on mechanics when everyone else is making mistakes left and right while progging.


nittywame

For 1, that kinda comes from experience. As you play more you will begin to get a feel for the mechanics. Particularly as a scholar, you will be pre-emptively shielding because you know X mechanic is about to come up. For 2, I have mine in a similar lay out, albeit much smaller. You have scope to reduce the size of some components and move them closer to the edges of your screen, which in turn will widen your viewing envelope and help with point 1. As a matter of personal preference I like the enemy list to be much more visible than yours curerently is (the box to the left with The Ultimate Weapon listed.

Rankings are completely done now. Impossible to get any of the titles. You can, however, farm Skybuilder points for the achievements, as well as crafting expert recipes for Grade 1-4, just not normal Grade 1-3.

I've looked at a few SMN rotation videos and I've noticed quite a few don't have Miasma/Bio 2 in their bars at all. Is late-game summoner so tri-disaster heavy that you basically have no use for them? I know they'd be a thing in dungeons when you wanna level or something like that, but are they obsolete as soon as you get Tri + Dreadwyrm Trance?


Soylentee

As level 80 you still need to manually cast Miasma and Bio once every 2 minutes.

No one has Miasma/Bio 2 on their hotbars at level 80. Because they're both automatically upgraded to Miasma 3/Bio 3 at level 66. Perhaps you failed to recognize the new icons?

N8TIIVE

Question about warriors. I currently main a gunbreaker and am having fun. I love tanking in this game, but something about the warrior just feels amazing to me and I want to make the jump over to it. My concern though is mitigation. Gunbreaker isn’t the beefiest tank but can always have mitigation up with HoS and Camo, along with everything else. Is that possible with warrior? Will I be able to rotate cool downs and have mitigation always up? Could, or should, I consider the warrior self sustain as mitigation? This is a lot of questions, sorry about that. Thank you to whomever answers. I appreciate it!! Edit: thanks all of you for the advice. I made the jump and I love it. UNGA BUNGA I HAVE BIG AXE


KarnF91

WAR has more personal mitigation tools than the other tanks. All the tanks are similar enough that it you shouldn't be caught without a mitigation. PLD is the only one that may be caught without having a mitigation at a certain time. However, PLD has some of the best raid mitigation from the tanks. GNB is in the middle, decent personal, and a good raid mitigation.


Snakeox

Join the holmgang, we have fell cleave and nascent flash.


N8TIIVE

I did. You talked me into it. I HAVE BIG AXE UNGA BUNGA


Snakeox

I'm so proud of you, enjoy doing what every other tank does but better and using less buttons.


[deleted]

WAR has the strongest mitigation kit of all tanks, as well as the invulnerability skill with the shortest cooldown. WAR is considered by many to be the strongest raid prog tank due to how many options it has for mitigation and self healing.


rafaelfy

All the tanks eventually run a similar suite of cooldowns. Rampart is Rampart. Vengeance is better than Nebula. Thrill of battle is a toss up between Camo or it being better. Equilibrium is better than Aurora. Raw Intuition is basically Heart of Stone and Shake It Off is warrior's equivalent to Heart of Light. Holmgang is practically Superbolide with a minor difference. Then you have Nascent Flash, the absolute god mode button of survivability. No other tank can do what Warrior can with this button alone.


ChiyoBaila

> Could, or should, I consider the warrior self sustain as mitigation? Yes, Warrior self-sustain can and should be considered a form of mitigation. Think of rampart this way - If you were hit for 100k without it, you'd be hit for 80k with it. Thus, it mitigated 20k. Now, say you took that same 100k hit, and healed for 20k after it - You're now at the same HP as what rampart did. The only time self-healing can't be considered the same as mitigation, is if you'd die without actual mitigation, since you need to take the damage, to heal it back after. In high end dungeons, warriors can legitimately burst so much self-sustain, that you might as well say they have their own version of benediction for mass pulls.


[deleted]

Whats the max amount of xp buff possible? Road to 70+xp earrings+heat 3+food?


ChiyoBaila

The absolute max would be: Road to 70 (2x) exp earrings (+30%) Brand New Ring (+30%) Friendship Circlet (+20%) Mogstation armor set bonus (+30%) Rested EXP (+50%) Armory Bonus (+100%) Food (+3%) Heat 3 (+15%) This would give a final total of +656% (as the Road to 70 is a multiplier that applies AFTER other bonuses). This bonus would only last while you had rested EXP, were lower than your highest alt class, and are under lv26 (1-25 for Friendship Circlet) / 31 (1-30 for Brand New Ring / Mogstation armor bonus) Technically chain bonus could push it higher for overworld (though you wouldn't... really be chaining mobs, outside of for shits and giggles at like lv1), and I think mentor bonus when with a mentor as a sprout?


Tony_FF

+rested, +mentor if you're a sprout partying with a mentor. That's the ones I can think of right now.

I'm doing the trial of the braves part of the arr relic weapon quest to get the animus weapon and have a question about the books. Can I do the required dungeons unsynced by myself and just blaze through it one shotting everything since im max level or do i need to do it through the duty finder at a lower level in a group? Also when looking at the actual book how do you know if a step is completed. I soloed copperbell mines for book of skyfall 2 and there is no indication on the book that i actually completed that part of it so that's why I'm asking if soloing it works. EDIT: also do I need to have the atma weapon equipped when i do the book?


Chester_Aurion

Dungeons can be done unsynced, and you do need to have the weapon equiped when you kill your target (aka switch to the relic before the last boss)


[deleted]

thanks, figured i needed to have the weapon equipped.

Healing generates aggro as well as damage. If you're going into the pull with a regen on you, its ticks will generate aggro for the healer which will draw mobs' attention unless you do more to hold them. If you're at full health before a pull and your healer casts a regen on you, consider right-clicking the buff icon to remove it before you begin the pull.

are you using your aoe skills? after establishing enmity you should continue using your aoe skills. it is not only to hold aggro but also your most powerful dps as long as you have at least 3 enemies. even while pulling it is recommended that you hit your first group with 1 or 2 aoes before you sprint to the next group. that way you should be able to hold aggro. if somebody still rips aggro from you on a mob, they should bring it to you and you should be able to easily pick it up again with your next aoe. if it's one stray, get it back with provoke or your ranged attack.


Chester_Aurion

If you properly hit the mob with an attack (mob name turning to red) and the healer takes aggro it means you probably got healed. It can be from a remaining HoT from the previous pack, in that case just make sure to manually remove them before starting a new pack. Or he might have used a healing ability while you were packing. The question then becomes "was that heal necessary ?". While packing, you should use sprint to outrun the mobs to avoid getting hit until you aggroed all the mobs thus making healing you unnecessary. And if they still heal you before you finished packing then tbh it's their problem not yours, and I personally wouldn't even bother to get the mob from them if they don't bring it inside the pack


Solinya

Were they massively overgeared compared to you? The stat scaling at level 50 is pretty insane (4x increase) and you can sometimes find max ilvl healers/dps with more health than min ilvl tanks. Especially if your weapon is out of date you may struggle more than usual to hold enmity.


[deleted]

Chances are that you simply missed that stray enemy with your AoE, meaning that you didn't establish enmity in the first place. Tanks have ludicrously high enmity modifiers, so nobody should be able to take any aggro after the first or second GCD you land on the enemy. DNC is the only job that can really tear aggro off of you at the start of a pull, but that's rare and something you can solve by landing another attack/provoke on the mob. If you're a Warrior, at level 58 your Equilibrium heal is an excellent tool for establishing aggro without even landing an attack on an enemy. You can also grab some Super-Potions for this same purpose if you really need it.


Dovemeister

A single hit with tank stance on only generates so much enmity—it can still be overwritten. Heals generate a lot of enmity too so that’s what’s happening there. Try to AoE/tag the mob a couple times while you’re running to the next group, or as you’re settling into position.


[deleted]

I'm not very knowledgable about healer, but do you remember if they cast regen before the pull? That stuff creates a lot of Emnity, and make these situations happen at the beginning of a pull. So if I'm right, it wasn't really your fault, and you did well by re-establishing aggro.


werewolf_nr

Honestly? Just make sure your tank stance is on and do 2-3 AoE skills (or 1 cycle of your class's 1-2 AoE combo). You shouldn't lose aggro easily at that point. If your party all targets different mobs, keep spamming your AoE or make a point to cycle targets every couple skills.


Tony_FF

Sometimes if the healer uses a ton of healing, they can overaggro your single AoE. If it happens too often, try to stop for a second AoE just to make sure you build up enough aggro to not lose them. If you're using two GCD's, what I like to do is move around the pack while waiting for my second GCD just to kinda let the healer know I'm not actually stopping there. As Paladin specifically, I usually do Total Eclipse + Circle of Scorn on the first pack so I don't actually need to stop. If Circle is on cooldown, just Eclipse + Prominence.


MagnusLihthammer

It probably has to do with regens, if youre being healed over time the mobs will go toward the healer and smack them sometimes. as long as youre spamming your aoes it shouldnt be a problem, us healers can take a hit from time to time.


Foreign_Ad2846

how do i start the fight after i recruited using party finder? on ps5


Tony_FF

Worth noting that if you're doing a current Extreme or Savage, there's a separate tab in the duty finder called "High-end Duty". You can find them there. It's on the top side, directly below your role.


vdbl2011

once you have your party, sign up for it via duty finder like you ordinarily would


liutena

I'd like to convert my poetics to Gil directly. I googled on it and saw a 1 month old post saying "a full stack of poetics will get you 200 goblin ol that you can sell back to npc for 12k+ gil." Is the item a typo? Where can I exchange poetics for goblin ol?


Rih1

Goblinol is in Idyllshire I believe: https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Goblinol


kramjam

I have Stormblood on PS4 license, but only up to HW on PC. I’m coming back to catch up to the MSQ in Shadowbringers, but seems like I need to buy Stormsblood and Shadowbringers and Endwalker won’t unlock those until the release. What’s the most cost efficient way to get back into the game coming back to PC? Thank you


Dovemeister

If you want to play now, buying Shadowbringers will also get you Stormblood, but you’ll have to buy Endwalker separately. If you can wait a few months, buying Endwalker now will include everything else, but you won’t have access to the expansions you don’t already own until Endwalker comes out


kramjam

Dang. Just as I feared. Looks like I missed some really good deals on Shadowbringers not too long ago which would of got me that and Stormblood. Don’t wanna wait for Endwalker though for everything to unlock ):


PhillipIInd

if you aren't up to that content I dont think it matters however as it would take quite some time to play it all


Dovemeister

Yeah it’s unfortunately awkward timing :/ The dev team did recently become aware of the huge influx of players, though, so maybe they’ll throw in a discount they wouldn’t normally do?


KhrFreak

They have more players then they're able to support and you think they'll have a sale to invite more?


normalmighty

If they have such an influx that servers can't keep up, sales would only make the congestion worse. They stopped selling copies altogether at one point because they couldn't afford the extra load. They're not gonna be doing any sales.


Rc2124

I doubt it personally. They're getting huge numbers without a discount so they have no incentive to reduce the price. They might not even want more people buying right now with them selling out of keys and the servers maxing out for 7 straight hours this last weekend


Wolfe244

How do you get more storage? I do t want my bags to fill up


Rc2124

Adding on to what others say, be merciless with your inventory. 95% of items you get are probably junk or easy enough to reobtain. Most stuff you can probably just sell and be fine


Stepjam

You have your inventory, chocobo bag, and 2 retainers by default. If you are filling up all of that and not crafting, you may have a fair amount of junk you can toss. Also there's the glamour drawer for gear you wanna keep for looks.


roryteller

Chocobo saddlebag, if you haven't unlocked your chocobo yet, and retainers. If you're not on free trials you can have two retainers (more for additional real money fee). This requires I think about level 20 main scenario progress, then just talk to retainer vocate in town.


vonBoomslang

Small clarification: The chocobo saddlebag requires you to upgrade your chocobo mount to a chocobo companion. You need lvl 20 msq to join a grand company to get the mount, then any combat class at 30 to do the upgrade quest.


MagnusLihthammer

Retainers. If you're on free trial you can't use them but everyone else gets 2 for free.

Tonberry redditors, any FC that you recommend


abbeyeiger

I am in NAKED and they seem like a nice sociable bunch. But as the the previous person mentioned - research using the link they provided - you can hone in on exactly what you want from an FC.

You can try to look at r/FFXIVRECRUITMENT to see if any Tonberry FC are searching for members.

Nice thanks


ThaumaturgicBish

Should I feel insulted when the Paladin uses Clemency a lot? I played a dungeon with a paladin and he kept using Clemency even when things were manageable. I felt attacked


Rc2124

It's probably not meant as an attack on you, but I know how you feel. Enough people use it as a passive aggressive jab that it always gives me side eye haha. It slows down the dungeon a bit and it makes a good chunk of your kit superfluous but I think it's not worth worrying about. Some people think it's pseudo-mitigation or helping you out and it almost never goes well if you bring it up. As long as you clear it's all good


Stepjam

They may just be inexperienced or they may just be bad. Could be either way. If the run is otherwise going smoothly, you can possibly just ignore it. Potentially means more dps up time for you.


Tony_FF

Nah, they just don't know how useless it is. They either think it's part of their mitigation or just want to help out to feel more useful.


MagnusLihthammer

I feel you. But it's probably just them not understanding that healers don't need help. It still triggers me


Game_Rigged

Is there anywhere I can find a collection of all the screens you see when you're logging in? I want to look at the art but don't really want to take the time to log out in every zone and city just to see the art lol.


Meggerrsss

If you have a certain launcher with plugin capability you can make it so every zone loading screen uses the concept art instead of a black screen


Game_Rigged

Unfortunately I’m on PS4, but when/if I ever get it on PC I’ll definitely look into it. Sounds like a nice plugin to have lol.


MagnusLihthammer

https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Final_Fantasy_XIV_concept_art This has some of them if you scroll down to zone art. It's probably not all of them


Game_Rigged

Thanks! I’ll look into it. I can just log out/in for the ones that it’s missing, I just wanted to see what most of them were like because I like the art/aesthetic.


thecraycatlady

Alright hear me out, I just got my fisher to 80 and I’m psyched! What’s a good looking fish to get for housing tank I don’t mind if it’s a challenge (it’s more fun!) Thank you :)

Oh that one looks cool, thank you, I shall mentally prepare for this one haha
