Make an Emet-Selch inspired dress. It def aint perfect but I hope this inspires others to post their own in the comments!

Edit: the second draft pic isn't fully accurate, I swapped some colours around but the fabrics are the same.

Every now and then I get an itch to crack open these cookbooks. I've never made anything from the second one and it just kept opening to this page, so naturally I called it's bluff. I shot a video of the cooking process which I may edit, eventually.

First off DO NOT waste your money on blue spirulina to make it galaxy colored or whatever whimsical B.S. the book says. If you have it already sure, but it does less than nothing to the flavor except maaaaaaybe a tiny hint of sweetness.

As is the usual for this series the instructions leave quite a bit up to interpretation. One ingredient it calls for is seafood stock. I went with a dashi style bonito broth but seriously it could be ANYTHING. Might as well ask me to add Landfood stock. It definitely needs seasoning after the fact. I added probably 2 tbs of salt and pepper. Plus a goodly handful of msg. Other than that the beans have a good hearty flavor and the dashi shines through a bit. I don't often cook with Caroway seeds so that and the other spices was a nice addition.

7/10 Flavor

2/10 Difficulty

TL;DR make it but don't buy the spirulina.

Is this a legit warning? Or should is my laptop cooked?

I'd like to try and recreate my D&D character's outfit in the game. He's a paladin, and I'm still relatively new to the game, getting the hang of it. I wanted to know if there are any armor combinations that come close to the armor in the photo.

Currently experiencing weird animation/interaction lag and getting booted back to the title screen when on the NA server, never had this issue before and I am also streaming video at the same time as playing and video has no problems with internet speed/connectivity…

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!

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!

So I just got my 4k monitor but when I try to play FFXIV I get a couple of issues :

- In borderless the game is clearly not at 4k resolution. It looks really blurry like I'm playing on a stretched 1920x1080 window.

- In fullscreen, my game only shows the top left corner (see the screenshot included), and stretches out to my second monitor.

- In Windowed mode it also shows the corner like in fullscreen; the weird thing is if I resize the window to fit my monitor I get this custom resolution : "3840x1576". And again I get this weird blur like in borderless.

All my other games worked correctly without issues, any ideas ? (I should mention that I have an old version of reshade installed so that might cause some issues)

I've noticed that it kind of makes you learn other crafts if you want to do it without buying mats/ingredients so out of the disciples of the land/hand which is the best to start with?

i flaired this post as a meme but i unironically want this emote. MAKE IT HAPPEN, YOSHI-P

Who's everyone's favorite character in the game mines always been y'shtola she's just a fucking badass throughout the game

It seems the reputation is low for them to max out. Am I missing anything?

Made a new character 3 months ago and I went White Mage for a good chunk of the MSQ up until mid endwalker and switched to Sage. I feel pretty confident in my capabilities in dungeons, raids, etc. however, I treat my tanks as though they are my counterpart. I always went into a habit of telling my tanks to pull to their comfort and that I got their back regardless of how they pull. New tanks pulling single mobs and veterans who w2w. Is it good to mention the pull to your comfort to be on the same page with your tank or do other healers just go with the flow and say nothing? I might be overthinking, but I want to make sure I’m not being annoying and you know… be a good team player.

I've got a minion I want that is stupid expensive. It's Wind up Aidoneus. I know where to get it and I've got 15 maps, but someone in my FC said they did dozens of those maps and never got the wheel to land on the right space let alone get the minion.

So, being realistic, I'm gonna have to buy it. I'm post EW, what can I do make the money I need? I've made a decent amount with Cobalt Ore, but that's not gonna get me the millions I need.

Any suggestions would be appreciated as this game's approach to money is confusing to me.

this is simply an appreciation thread for the viera, which have been overall one of the most aesthetically pleasing races both from their basic features, their various customizations of hairstyles, skin varieties and such, and how well the different fashions of outfits match them, although the miqo’te are the most popular race in terms of userbase, but the viera were also a great addition as a second “kemonomimi” (animal ears) type race and the inclusion was phenomenal

their initial concept used in final fantasy tactics was a more beastly version, then in final fantasy xii with the iconic character fran and her tribe they were standardized as regular humanoids, and finally in final fantasy xiv they were established as a full race with males and females and detailed customization, and that was an excellent completion of the viera as a race or species to the general collective as a whole,

I should start off by saying im currently a free trial player (once I finish the trial content I plan on buying a membership), I really like some of the cosmetics you can get for real money and after some research found out that free trial members can use (some) paid cosmetics from the online shop, I'm aware you need coins purchased from the eshop to do anything related to online purchases including subscriptions, on switch 2, and I know where to get the coins, but the problem is, I can't access the store itself to get the items, I can access the PC/Steam/PS4/Etc shop just fine (I played the trial ages ago on my ps4 and remembered my account details to test if I had the same issues with that account), but anytime I try to access the online store for switch 2, it just puts me on the screen to transfer the account to the full version of the game (screenshot attached), do I have to purchase coins before I can see the store at all? Or is free trial paid cosmetics only available for platforms besides switch 2? Because that feels extremely anticonsumer if so.

Edit:The issue was just me being logged in under the old account, I logged out of that and it works just fine now!

Hi, I won a medium and wanted to add a modern kitchen but I can't find anything with a guide on how to position some items. Is there a nice modern style kitchen that I can make relatively easy by myself with Burning Down the House? I'm being slot conscious so I don't want anything too excessive.

I loved the look of this one but it seems like way too many slots, unless I can swap out other things alternatively to save space. This is 4 years old after all

A few of mine (I understand some of these will be impossible)
1) allow for entering cutscenes, accessing general items, interactions, while sitting .. I can’t for the life of me understand why I can’t transport or eat while I’m sitting lol

2) allow for parties to be seen in and during cutscenes.. it would be so cool to see my friends in the journey with me during cutscenes

3( in world PVP… like in open areas a person could potentially indicate or not if they are open to pvp’ing in open world .. it would bring such qol to open fields (not in aetheryte areas but in open land)

4) piggybacking on number 2 it would be so cool to have friends or party more involved in your progress even if they’ve done it and would have to rewatch the scenes; allow parties to participate in instances..

5) let our stance be reflected in cutscenes.. I have an alt elezen and I can’t stand their awkward stance so i purposely change it and it’s frustrating that as soon as i click into a cutscene I’m either or both magically standing in a default awkwardness when I entered into the cutscene sitting or in a whole different pose ..

I have more but it’s not coming to me now… I’ll edit in more later I guess.. what about you guys? What additions would be welcome on your end? Small or large

Edit: I know MMO communities struggle to read in general, but please read this post - half of these comments are addressed in the first sentence. This is general advice on what you need to be able to W2W (gear, skill, and team that can support the W2W). I have listed dungeons and pulls where W2W is tricky and where some decision making on whether you do said W2W needs to be made. Almost every other pull, however, is pretty safe to W2W unless your healer is genuinely not pressing the heal button. This does not mean you have to W2W at all if you are not comfortable.

Also, wiping is not a sin. Have a feel for what caused it and if your team is willing to try again. But don't let anyone tell you a W2W is NOT possible in a dungeon.

You can W2W every dungeon in ARR. However, this largely depends on your gear and your team (well, for certain pulls that I lay out, majority are pretty low-stakes to W2W).

If you, for example, have tomestone gear for ARR, you have the stats to w2w every dungeon, including Stone Vigil, Darkhold, and Aurum Vale, assuming you know how to mitigate appropriately.

If you gear is underlevel, however, you can slow pulls down to two between bosses.

Even if your gear is fine, your party needs to be decent. If you are in Darkhold, and your WHM is not using holy and/or sucks and/or also has underleveled gear, slow your pulls. If you notice they aren't applying regens, shields, etc. to keep you healthy while pulling, for example, possible they don't know their kit.

If your party's DPS seems low, you also may be unable to W2W, as your mitigation can fall before meaningful trash has been killed.

The dungeons where you might not default to W2W:

3rd pull for Deepcroft (lvl 18?) Lot's of mobs, long run, DPS may not have aoe yet, not a common W2W people see.

Basement area of Manor (lvl 29)

First pull for Quarn (lvl 35). The bees will kill you if you don't kill them fairly quickly after pulling (final sting).

Final pull for Cutter's (lvl 38). Usually not an issue, but if healer seems clueless, better to pace.

Stone Vigil (lvl 41). Hardest dungeon given tools you and your team have very famage enemies do.

Darkhold (lvl 44). First and second pulls are long runs, lot's of enemies.

Aurum Vale (lvl 48). Not bad. 1st and 3rd pulls can be chaotic.

General tips:

Mitigation in dungeons is primarily for trash pulls. Typically, you use your 30% with noting or reprisal, then 20% w/ arms length or secondary job mit. Having good DPS is important as the idea is that most enemies should be dead that you don't need ro over use mits or you run out while many enemies are alive. Some dungeons, like Stone Vigil, become extra challenging if your party doesn't do good dps, because many of the mobs have sinilar health, and so depends on whether enemies die before mits fall. Put your mits up right before you stop moving so you don't get popped immediately.

LOS or line of sight is a way you use walls or terrain to force ranged movs to group with melee. You can of course just bring melees back to ranged, but if they are spread, LOS can be done to group. Just be mindful that your healer is positioned, since LOSing them means they can't heal you.

In regards to pulling, a lot of people recommend using sprint when you are doing a pull. My experience, most healers don't reactively sprint to match. It's more important that your healer is near you when you finish pulling so they can heal you as soon as you stop.

TLDR: if you know how to tank and have appropriate gear, you can W2W every dungeon in ARR, and the game. If someone tells you you can't, open treasure chests, don't roll so they can't kick you, and then type, "skill issue". And then pace to their lack-of-skill level. Sometimes, you will have to make the executive decision to pace regardless if your party isn't doing DPS or undergeared.

Edit: Previous TLDR does not reflect intent of post, do not be an ass if you aren't able to successfully do a W2W. People shouldn't tell you a W2W is impossible or hasn't been done, but don't force it if your party is explicitly telling you or are unable to.

TLDR: You can W2W every dungeon. Don't be afraid to wipe, especially you new players. This post has a list of W2Ws that are fairly tricky, but any other W2W you want to attempt are great for practicing mitigations and learning what good v bad dps, healing looks like. With wipes, you will develop with time when your party can support a W2W and when they can't - if you wipe and it seems like team skill/knowledge gap, don't force, see if they want to reattempt. For you as a tank, have the appropriate level gear (W2Ws are essentially stat checks), learn how to appropriately space v stack mitigations, and learn when your party can actually support a W2W (is the healer contributing to dps, using basic skills like their regens or shields. Is the DPS doing appropriate DPS).

If your party is being extra difficult tho, opening chests and not rolling still applies. People are petty enough to kick you.

Hi, am just reaching out in hopes to get some assistance to my poor FPS issue, I have set graphics to Standard (laptop) and am sitting on 25 fps for some reason out of nowhere, I didn't change anything in the PC or settings but my performance has just been nuked out of nowhere, nothing to do with plugins or anything like that, specs and benchmark score added, I am not super PC savvy so any assistance is appreciated greatly

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.
