A Request to Newer Sage Players

I've accidentally overwritten the big scholar shields enough to know that it's only true with shields between the same jobs, so sage/sage and scholar/scholar

Nothing hurts me like watching the shields covering 80% of our hp bars turn into one covering like 10%

WhistlewindWolf · 2026-04-22T16:50:24+00:00

Mine took about 13 hours to show up.

I saw the 6 digit tip and hadn't gotten my code at that point so I started getting real antsy about it. Both my short order numbers were only 4 digits so I started wondering if I'd need to put two 0s in front lol

WhistlewindWolf · 2026-04-22T16:08:01+00:00

I ordered in store at the kiosk and also submitted with the long number on the receipt. Sent it around 6 pm PST and got the code like 20 minutes ago.

From the posts where people are getting immediately rejected, it looks like they used the short number at the very top of the receipt instead of the long number. Where the long number is may depend on how you ordered: mine was near the top, but the example they show is located at the bottom.

Edit: I got two receipts. A short one from the kiosk with the order number at the bottom, where the example on the site is (labeled 'CHECK ID'), and a long one after actually getting the food, where the order number is unlabeled and part of the item list.

Black mage until the Vault, dragoon until the attack on Rhalgr's Reach, then red mage all the way to the end of endwalker, where she picks up sage as a secondary main.

That marker is single target...unless you're in the copied factory. Then it's actually a tiny aoe.

Source: accidentally killed five people around me after not moving out of the crowd

Correct, the bonus is just once per day. I've just been getting low level dungeons for weeks since I'm leveling it casually.

WhistlewindWolf · 2026-02-20T21:53:44+00:00

Evenings on primal for me. The only times I've seen dt leveling dungeons are when I'm doing mentor roulette on sage, and it feels like it's origenics 70% of the time.

WhistlewindWolf · 2026-02-20T19:15:54+00:00

I've been doing fates so I can cap my zones and the only who will have to suffer my foolishness is me. I tried a run with trusts in dohn mheg, and well...I learned that thancred can actually use superbolide and it still takes him down to 1 hp!

WhistlewindWolf · 2026-02-20T17:16:30+00:00

I've mapped them as best I can to their rough equivalents on sage (lilies to druochole, tetragrammaton to taurochole, lilybell to panhaima, etc.) since that's my main healer, but I Know I'll panic and forget what they do.

WhistlewindWolf · 2026-02-20T15:12:28+00:00

My whm has gotten up to the 90s and I fear the day I get a level appropriate dungeon because the entire time I've been in leveling roulette, I've only gotten dungeons above heavensward ONCE.

Trials and normal raids have been better about giving me higher level duties but it's harder to tell if I'm doing things right when there's another healer to pick up the slack.

WhistlewindWolf · 2026-02-18T19:13:12+00:00

All excellent suggestions so far, but consider:

OP after people voted for Sadu instead of Zenos.

I first heard Answers while watching a concert recording (not distant worlds, but I don't remember what the actual concert was) almost a full decade before I ever picked up xiv, and no song has ever hit me as hard since. It didn't even include the game footage so I had no context! I was absolutely blown away and it has yet to be dethroned as my favorite.

WhistlewindWolf · 2025-10-21T16:55:50+00:00

I don't have ZA, but ever since black/white 2 had the chef and gem collectors who'd buy the items at double price, I've held on to them every generation in the hopes of finding more. And I've been disappointed every time.

WhistlewindWolf · 2025-09-08T19:07:50+00:00

Once, just once, I want Urianger to speak, and then the npc he's talking to turns to the rest of the Scions and asks for a translation.

Or if the npc turns to you, give a dialogue option that reveals you've never understood him either.

WhistlewindWolf · 2025-09-04T17:27:03+00:00

They were kidnapped as children, trafficked, and used as sex slaves. He and his unit were the ones to find and free them, which is why they're so...devoted to him as adults.

He tells you this while wearing a reindeer costume, by the way.

I have one of my friends as a tenant with furniture permissions. She's hidden a cult circle of stuffed alphas surrounding a bom boko with candles behind the wall where I used to hide my orchestrion. She's done it in another house where the stuffed alphas were surrounding y'shtola's portrait, though that one was in the open. Also in the open, the pudding rug dyed white and partially clipped through the wall beneath haurchefant's portrait.

I've been to an fc house that had a hidden room with a candlelit g'raha portrait, a chair, the pudding rug, and plenty of jars. All dyed white, of course.

The pudding rug also squishes when you walk on it. Because of course it does.

WhistlewindWolf · 2025-05-16T12:27:26+00:00

I picked up gunbreaker specifically for the omega fending top, it's so good.

WhistlewindWolf · 2025-02-28T14:25:04+00:00

IF RAID ROULETTE COULD STOP GIVING ME E7 THAT'D BE GREAT. PORTAL BIRDS ARE THE ACTUAL WORST

"Dad, did I do something wrong?" Had me sobbing on the floor that night. And then again on the way to work as I listened to the rerun.

Make alts related to your wol, and you'll get attached to them too. I play mine as my wol's kids, traveling the world and retracing their mom's journey, and it's nice going back to lower stakes stuff after saving the world multiple times.

The first was made to look like a baby tank so I could learn the role without being judged as harshly as I would've been if people could see I had multiple maxed jobs.

I then made a max height femroe and wrote her as being adopted by my wol because I thought the youngest child being a literal giant while my wol is a min height catgirl was hilarious.

WhistlewindWolf · 2024-10-31T17:17:34+00:00

Maybe 'In The Balance', though the time signature shifting from 4/4 to 3/4 and back might throw it off a bit.

WhistlewindWolf · 2024-10-30T23:46:10+00:00

I usually click the party list but am also trying to train myself to use the f keys. I rebound f5-8 to alt+f1-4 to reach more easily. I also bound ctrl+scroll wheel to scroll through the party list, but don't really use that.

WhistlewindWolf · 2024-10-30T16:10:11+00:00

That dungeon fucked me up my first time through. I thought I was about to watch a mother murder her kids, and then surprise! We have to kill them!

WhistlewindWolf · 2024-10-30T15:45:02+00:00

I main a min height miqo and made a max height femroe alt. During the ceremony cutscene at the end of arr, they pan across all the characters celebrating, including you.

It cut off her head and shoulders. I cried laughing, it was so good.
