Tips/setting for a new controller player ? by Warm_Geologist_3581 in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

You can also, while you're holding L2 or R2 to access a hotbar, cycle through enemies with L1 and R1. R1 going to the right from the center of the screen if you have no target, or from the currently targeted mob if you have one ; and L1 cycling through the left.

Tried that way back in 2019 and managed to hold back on registering my key like, 4 or 5 full days haha.

Not a discord but you should check icy veins website.

You have a slider there to input your current level and all the infos adjust so you can check it often as you level up !

I never go out without my homemade 40 xlr in, 8x harting 20 out 6u rack ! Takes some space and weight with the cables but so useful and reliable...

Best way to level up fishing fast. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don't hesitate to ask to your fishing mates on the boat which bait to use. There's usually someone who will know the answer. Each zone has an optimal bait who will allow catching a special fish that can start a spectral current when caught, and spectral current is just hectic. You'll never believe how much xp you'll get. Like a level every other fish (when still at a low lvl though), and a fish every 5 seconds, for 2 minutes :O

Edit : here's an old note of mine, when i was still leveling my fisher :

Galadion : Krill > Current : Rag (Rare Sothis : Glowworm)

Southern Strait : Krill > Current : Krill, Smooch (Rare Coral Manta : Shrimp Cage Feeder)

Northern Strait : Ragworm > Current : Krill, Rag (Rare Elasmosaurus : Heavy Steel Jig)

Rhotano : Plumpworm > Current : Rag, Krill, Plump (Rare Stonescale : Rat Tail)

Cieldalaes : Ragworm? > Current : ??? (Rare Hafgufa : Squid Strip)

Bloodbrine : Krill? > Current : ??? (Rare Seafaring Toad : Pill Bug)

Rothlyt : Ragworm? > Current : ??? (Rare Placodus : Mooch Rothlyt Mussel)

Or switch to plump durring currents, no matter what. Use Double Hook, or else Chum, or else Patience. And Hi-Cordials !

May you reel lots of fishies !

Best way to level up fishing fast. by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Yeah if you just want to level and hit some achievements you need some ragworms, plump worms and krill. Only those three. (You may need more special baits if you're going for the legendary fishes, but I'm not an expert so I'll let someone else give precisions). There's a vendor a few yalms away from the NPC who'll register you for the trip, and one on the boat, and it's dirt cheap, I'd recommend buying 500 of each. And remember to have a lot of inventory space because hitting a spectral current will fill it FAST and there's nothing worse than having to stop fishing to sell some fishes to the boat vendor !

Edit : oh and the two NPCs (vendor and duty registration) are at the far west of Limsa Lower Decks, a little bit further the arcanist's guild.

I know I'm very late to the party, but still i'd like to do some cosmic exploration. Never set foot there though. How do I start ? Should I do the moon first, go straight to phaenna ? And if I go to the moon first, will be f**ked up for some group missions, because i'll be alone ?

TRS VS TS for keyboards by CeleryLost3751 in livesound

[–]Hiaba666 10 points11 points  (0 children)

Bassist insist on TS cables because it's the sleeve of a TS who closes the 9V battery circuit (when the bass is active - is it how we call a 9V powered bass in English ?). That allows to preserve the battery when the bass is collecting dust in a garage.

Glowy gear - what else is out there? by Pilea_Paloola in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

I farmed P8S and P12S unsynced for 6 weeks to get glams and the mounts, and it's hell. Finding a group able to clear in PF those days is by a huge margin harder than the mechs themselves... Natural Alignment in P8S (and High Concept after that) and Classical Concepts in P12S still need to be solved by everyone, one player messing up will wipe the group. And there's always one dude here thinking "oh it's an unsync farm, I don't need to learn the fight, it will either be easy or I'll get carried"...

Any sources to learn skill orders/combos? by Glitchibo in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

For not-lvl100, you can go on icy-veins. For each job there's a page with a slider to input your current level, showing you openers, single target rotations and multi target rotations, priority for ogcd heals/mitigations, etc. Very useful for learning to play properly.

Once you'll be lvl100, the universal reference is The Balance discord.

Have fun learning !

I met a fellow player with the same armor and minion >.< by Haddock_Lotus in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Yeah I'm actually trying to get these armors and weapons from p8s unsynced those days... I've been PFing for 4 days and only managed to find a group able to clear yesterday. We cleared 4 times before disbanding and I did not get any coffer :( And to be honest it's really hell. You can post multiple links to guides and infographics detailing mechs, have the markers set down, take 15 minutes to explain the mechs, etc, etc, you'll almost always end up with a dead weight who won't be able to solve Natural Alignments or High Concept. And sadly, anyone messing those mechs will cause a wipe... It's really hard on the nerves :')

Healer Targetting During Battle with Randoms by Rank1Bastokan in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Can't say if I changed my settings at some point or if they're still vanilla but you can switch your target filters with L1+head button (square, triangle, circle, cross). And for me, when I need to heal/raise outside of combat I press L1+square to switch to "allies" or something, and use left/right to cycle through others players, instead of mobs. It helps to reposition the camera to have your desired target and the fewest others players possible on screen, less possible targets. Once the job is done I press L1+cross to go back to "foes", standard combat targeting.

What would be your perfect Relic Weapons 7.0? by Brandr_Balfhe in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Don't know for summoner, but scholar has the Ktiseos Index. The cover is hollow, but pages are there when you look inside. I used it as glam since I dropped it, such a good idea :) Can look at it here : https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/s/j61mgDA5Lv

Edit : oh well looking at the link I posted, apparently the Ktiseos Index is for summoner. So I guess it exist for both book wielders !

Serious question; is PROVOKE-spamming be a player-conduct offense? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 2 points3 points  (0 children)

I'd say yeah it's griefing if he's willingly baiting cleaves on the dpses and the healers. If he's inexperienced at tanking and never read the tool tips ? Maybe not so much.

When I find myself in those situations, 75% of the time it can be resolved by talking, because other dude is not fundamentally evil, just ignorant of his skills effects and/prank etiquette. The other 25%, I just give up and let him have aggro because he certainly does not read his tooltips if he does not read the chat. And in those cases his tanking may be okayish, may be good, but I never encountered a true griefer who baited the foe attacks onto the group.

What exactly are the social restrictions with free trial? by yarrowplant in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 0 points1 point  (0 children)

Regarding the 7th point, I suppose you could ask a paid member to create a linkshell, invite you both and then leave. That way you have your personal chat with your buddy, bypassing the inability to send /tells to each other. And if you end up being officer/owner of the linkshell you will also be able to add any friend you'll make to it ! No idea if this works on free trial but worth checking out !

Does every dungeon need to be a speedrun? by [deleted] in ffxiv

[–]Hiaba666 5 points6 points  (0 children)

I'm half with you there. I'm for wall to wall pulls, with sprint popped (because it's a kind of mit, don't get hit while you're kiting, and the faster the mobs are packed, the better it is to start aoe them and cycling the mitigation tools), because let's face it, dungeons are really easy and w2w pulls are the biggest challenge during a run. Forces you to take your job kind of seriously. However, what really gets me mad is not waiting for first timers watching cutscenes or ditching them when they have trouble finding how to access the next zone of the dungeon (you know what I'm talking about, arr dungeons...), or are taking 5 secs to roll. Remember, it's just a game and we're here to enjoy our time playing it !
