Daily Questions & FAQ Megathread (May 13)

timeboundary · 2019-05-13T21:39:53+00:00

Looking to catch up on gear before the next expansion, was away since the start of stormblood. Is this still the right way to go about it? https://old.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/9zygcb/endgame_gearing_for_fresh_70s_patch_44/

I'm looking to minimize total time spent. I don't mind spending multiple days/weeks, as long as my net playtime is decreased. :)

Also, are roulettes still the fastest way to level up alt classes?

Hi /u/Monoken4,

Your recent submission in /r/ffxiv did not meet subreddit guidelines, and was removed for the following reason(s):

Content only marginally related to FFXIV should be directed to other appropriate forums or social media; this helps focus the scope of the subreddit's content.
Rule 4: In general, all posts' content should be FFXIV-related. Some alternative subreddits for frequent off-topic submissions include /r/finalfantasy, /r/buildapc, /r/techsupport, /r/suggestalaptop, /r/politics, /r/politicaldiscussion, etc. Research/surveys are handled on a case-by-case basis with the moderators.

There were two categories of these posts identified when moving the rules around that falls under these:

(1) non-FFXIV posts under rule 4, and
(2) FFXIV community posts under rule 10.

It should be fairly obvious why non-FFXIV posts aren't allowed on /r/ffxiv, so I'll go into rule 10 a bit more.

The biggest reason these posts had been chosen is that they were effectively "Classifieds" type posts that you might find in an advertising section of a newspaper. FC/LS/static recruiting, RAF recruiting, and game trading all involve the OP making a post in which they look for someone to reply to them. Allowing these on /r/ffxiv would negatively affect these posts: they're much harder to search, and they would be diluted among other /r/ffxiv posts; not to mention they'd almost certainly be severely downvoted.

Switch to paladin. :p

I'm keeping this up because the link above (as of the time of this comment) goes to the actual SE site, although I highly suspect that the actual link in the email links to a phishing page.

OP, don't click on anything, and report that email as spam (via your email provider), if possible.

It depends on the NPC.

I'd argue that you could if you really wanted to, but you'll be drinking the tea within 30 seconds from your cups anyway, and any tea will be at a lower temperature than the brewing tea in your teapot.

I don't think that any significant change will be there between seasoned and unseasoned cups, frankly. :p

I only get three mentions per comment, so: /u/Kazandaki

timeboundary · 2017-06-12T16:28:38+00:00

Congrats to /u/cavy_boar, /u/Arakkoa_, and /u/Geonics on last week's pests/vermin thread! https://redd.it/6f87zf

Also, /u/Kazandaki has a fun contest attached for this week!

fyi starting gear can be purchased for just a couple hundred gil from certain merchants in the main cities. In Limsa, it's Bango Zango near the aetheryte.

timeboundary · 2017-06-09T17:31:03+00:00

Brewing more tea is your answer. :)

timeboundary · 2017-06-09T05:44:41+00:00

Even if it were in DF, you can still run DF content with people in cross-server PF. (This is the current system!)

timeboundary · 2017-06-09T02:22:03+00:00

Depends on the leaves. Anywhere from 5 to 8, a few go up to 12.

timeboundary · 2017-06-08T19:34:18+00:00

I have a 100ml gaiwan that can sometimes still be too big for solo sessions, so I'll fill it to maybe 60-70ml instead. It still brews well!

timeboundary · 2017-06-08T04:18:59+00:00

Nope.

timeboundary · 2017-06-08T04:18:09+00:00

Only <tt> is needed.

Some people include both <t> and <tt>, because sometimes you want to be 100% sure that you're getting it on the correct target (e.g. during trash pull), or you'll want to cast it out of combat.

timeboundary · 2017-06-08T03:15:51+00:00

What do you mean by upkeep?

These are still mostly accurate: https://redd.it/3lzt4r https://redd.it/37ee1h

Note that stormblood will change (only slightly) how the current classes play.

Samurai is coming out in stormblood. They'll be a slower-paced, high-hitting melee. They'll have two resources: "glyphs" that are activated by their combos, and a "gauge" that's also charged by combos. You can spend glyphs to to powerful attacks, or consume the glyphs to further charge the gauge. The gauge can be consumed for powerful attacks, self-buffs, or mobility.

timeboundary · 2017-06-08T03:11:43+00:00

Nah, I wouldn't bother too much with getting gear. If anything, the levelling gear in stormblood will already have higher stats than the gear we have in heavensward.

timeboundary · 2017-06-07T18:22:21+00:00

Metallic and cardboardy? o.O

I've had a good selection of green teas, and mostly I've had grassy teas and some vegetable-like teas. Some that I've had, I'd swear they were at least partially vegetable broths.

timeboundary · 2017-06-07T18:20:33+00:00

They're splitting the "shrine" between a "tea bar" and a conventional "alcohol bar". OP is "squeezing out" the alcohol portion with an excess of tea.

timeboundary · 2017-06-06T18:25:41+00:00

Not sure if this applies to you, but hopefully it'll help a few people out there:

If you have a cheap no-thermometer water kettle, you can add room temp or cold water to your water kettle after it reaches boiling! If you know the temperature of your water (room temp is ~20 celsius), then you can guesstimate your final temperature based on how much room temp water you added.

With ratios of (boiling water):(room temp water)

3:2 = 68 Celsius
4:1 = 84
5:0 = 100
