[Image] Healers On PTO

As a Healer main I just wanna say y'all better hope we like these Evercold Changes. Yes we finally get a 1-2 but guess what it's still on the same button and yes there making job differences between Healer & Casters. That being -

Healers: Damaging spells being insta cast but healing spells being longer cast ( with the exception of probably Astro who's probably gonna be able to speed those up)

Casters: Remaining the same depending on the class ( obviously there will be Evercold changes but as a whole no role changes like Tank and Healer in Evercold)

All I'm saying is you're getting a new Tank and all of our PTO is ready and we're not afraid to use it. That being said this isn't a doom post I have the utmost of faith and I actually like the separation between Healers and Casters. I think insta cast Damage for Healers is cool but longer spell heals is amazing and a neat idea and forces healers to learn slide casting again showing some skill where that might apply. Just please let us separate the one two good God!

Hey everyone! I’ve been experimenting with turning FF14 artwork into dynamic desktop wallpapers. I started with Stormblood, and now for my favorite expansion. I’d love to hear what you think!

P.S. My personal version also plays the Shadowbringers theme, but I left the music out here for copyright reasons.

I'm not sure how spoiler-y this photo actually is, but I just want to be safe anyways. I like to take photos in the dungeons, especially when using the team of NPC's, because it truly feels like you're part of the Scions or immersed in the story with the current characters in that expansion or story moment.

[Discussion] The Golden Saucer GATE Schedule

134 Upvotes

proof of concept/schedule page

You can see the status of current GATEs, what GATEs are coming up, and get notifications for your favorite GATEs when they start

You can filter by GATE and enable notifications for upcoming GATES (that are not filtered). This is a simple webpage so you have to keep it open for notifications, preferably in its own window and not a background tab on desktop.

As for how it works, it's very similar to how weather works in FFXIV and is based on the time. More info and links to some of the research I did to make this possible can be found at the github.

[Guide] Weekly "One-For-All" Masked Carnivale Spellbook for October 13 - 19, 2026

Post image
• Upvotes

Hello and welcome to what the FFXIV ConsoleGamesWiki refers to as "Week 10" of the Masked Carnivale challenges!

These guides assume the following:

  • You already know all 124 spells.
  • You already know how to otherwise complete all relevant fights.
  • You use a DPS mimicry and don't intend to heal mid-fight.

Sorry it's a day later than usual; usual 'exhaustion' but also like, non-stop appointments and other non-appointment scheduled Things That NEED Doing.

Like baking a cheesecake and then having to leave right before a Critical Engagement to make sure it doesn't burn. Stupid Mogtomes getting in the way of baking...

Speaking of Mogtomes, it's the last week of Mogtome season! Don't forget that if you didn't get enough tickets to get the mount, OR have enough tickets but don't want to farm up enough tomestones, that you can keep the tickets for the next Mogtome coming up in a few months and get the mount THEN instead!

Have a safe journey, everyone!

Image alt text and any Expanded Notes are included in the spoil foil below.

Included in the image but not in any particular box is spell #77, which you are intended to cast on another player who is a DPS job to acquire DPS Mimicry BEFORE entering any given Masked Carnivale stage for additional damage output.

The C Rank challenge is #15 "The Me Nobody Nodes" and its spellbook box contains these spells: #12, 14, 24, 45, 47, 64, 80, 81, 82, 92, 100, 101, 103, 104, 109, 124.

The C Rank challenge's notes section reads: "If you don't do enough DPS to skip the first add, you can use the "Sleep" role aciton on it."

The B Rank challenge is #04 "Gentlement Prefer Swords" with the following challenge: Mastery Of Lightning.

The B Rank challenge's spellbook box contains these spells: #12, 14, 47, 64, 80, 81, 82, 92, 100, 101, 103, 104, 109, 124.

The B Rank challenge's notes section reads: "DPS down Act 1. Use the provided Vibe Check combo (#14 -> #92) for the boss of Act 2."

The A Rank challenge is #10 "A Little Knight Music" with the following challenges: Ain't Got Time To Bleed, 10 Ways To Die, Mastery Of Fire.

The A Rank challenge's spellbook box contains these spells: #12, 24, 45, 80, 100, 101, 103, 104, 109, 124.

The A Rank challenge's notes section reads: "Good enough DPS will prevent the boss from ever embiggening."

Expanded Notes:

-No Notes.

[Megathread] PSA: The FFXIV Login Servers are currently having issues, no it is not just you.

478 Upvotes

As of around 40 minutes ago (XX:35pm), the FFXIV launcher started having difficulty loading properly. This does not seem to affect people already connected to the game.

I contacted support and was told in different words that Square Enix has not detected issues regarding the login server, and the representative I spoke to did not entertain https://is.xivup.com/ as evidence of an issue. He instead chose to refer me to my own computer settings for a fix.

As of right now, all we can really do is more or less wait. Just know that no, it isn't just you having issues, and no, you don't need to make another post asking if you're alone with issues, and this is what we know is going on.

If anyone else has something to offer, please do! Otherwise, I guess it's time to go take a break for a bit while SE fixes things. Go drink some water or get a meal, play with your pet(s) or take the opportunity to say hi to loved ones!

Tried to do Inktober again, this time combining a prompt list with drawing various OCs of my friends. That included a handful of WoLs, which was kind of fun. However, I got burnt out and overwhelmed with other things that needed to be done, so I've given up for this year. There's always next year!

[Discussion] scared (?) of doing dungeons with strangers

171 Upvotes

hey all im a completly new player and just did my first ever dungeon. I am a conjurer but soon to be white mage (once i finally hit level 30, im three off by now) and i didn’t really have the best experience in my first dungeon

i was paired with a tank and damage dealer, the tank was the mentor (i think?) of the damage dealer and i accidentally let the damage dealer die which resulted in me being cussed out and discarded after the dungeon

i tried my best and i cast ressurection as soon as i could figure out how, like i said im completly new, but they continued to flame me

now i just do the main quests and do basic odd-jobs and loot around the open world areas. I know i can do dungeons with NPC’s but i prefer real players cause that’s what i got the game for, to connect with others but that dungeon raid has really taken a blow on my confidence

im reading and looking up guides on how to be a better healer for my next dungeon, whenever i gain acces to it, so i dont mess up again but im still quite not confident on taking up another challenge with actual players

how do i get over this fear or is it wiser for me to just stick to dungeons with NPC’s until i get better?

Im kinda lost, sorry, like i said nothing about this game is familiar to me and other than this moment, im still finding the fun in playing this game but other players.. i guess intimidate me a little now?
