All the 60 dungeons are kinda the same speed if you basically one shot everything but bosses

so im kinda confused on the loot thing. whenever doing a dungeon and loot comes up when i click "need" nothing happens even though the item in question i can equip and use. I can click Greed just fine but not ever need. Am i missing something? (i'm on trial version)
You can "need" only when the item is appropriate for your current job, e.g. if you're WAR you can press need for axes but not any other weapon
As i said "even though the item in question i can equip and use"
Early dungeon jank I presume, since gearing was a bit more muddy back then
Tanks being able to equip caster/healer gear for one
Which item was it specifically?
blegh. It's weird greed works though just fine. For example i was doing the dungeon raid in copper mines (level 17 dungeon i think) and the Acolyte Robe popped up at the end which i wanted however when clicking Need nothing happened
hey guys, totally new to the game, any good guides I should watch/read?
Jocat's Crap guide to FF14
If you already have that item, and it's a Unique item, then clicking Need will show up as an error message saying "You already possess this item."
I'm pretty certain iv'e never picked it up but i will have to go back into my inventory and look again
ohh found the vid in YT, thanks a bunch!
start with tank and just go through them all they are one of the best guides around (no offense to others lol)
The poetics vendor for level 90 stuff is in Old Sharlayan next to the aetheryte
While JoCat's are good for comedy and for getting into a damage-dealing mindset, for the actual game systems there are official SE new player videos that are actually pretty good too.

Hello, is there a way to hide all quest except msq? Its giving me ocd seeing all the quest markers
Not without plugins, no. If you don’t want a quest to show you’ll have to do it
It could be locked to healer and caster having the need option for that one as, even though they're equitable by all job, the robes are a healer/caster item
sure that may explain that item but this happens for all of them
Which job were you running the dungeon as?
ARR also has gear equippable by all phys jobs but is made for dps, which a tank wouldn't be able to press need for iirc
BLM
it's pretty late atm for me so i had already hopped off so i'll re-check my inventory tomorrow to see if i already had it (i don't think i did but could be a possibility)
Were they accessories? They might say "all class" but they're still locked to certain roles.
From what I see you should have been able to press need for it 
really could just be that you already had it, the "you already have this item" text is not hard to miss
They said it was acolyte's robe, garlandtools says it's for disciple of magic which should include their BLM
didn't see it pop up just the need button wasn't working.
either way i lost the greed role to the healer anyways -.-
Maybe acolyte's robe is internally flagged as for healer, there's a similar thing in those dungeons (plundered bliaud) that's also for DoM
In later expacs they make the distinction clear so this doesn't happen at lv51 and up
no, i've been able to Need it as a caster before
i think you probably just had the item already and missed it. those first 3 dungeons all drop the same pool of gear
the only time i can think of that happens in ARR is with the brayflox tank set, listing DRG as someone who can equip it but they cant roll need on it
atleast i think its brayflox's set
but acolyte's is definitely able to be needed by casters as well as healers
there are a couple like that in the arr sets yeah.
There's a difference between "need button available but pressing it does nothing" and "need button greyed out and unavailable"
I should have got that clarified
With the Cosmic Exploration, do Stars matter for farming exp? seems like it doesn't change the rewards at all so far
Each planet has separate reward pools but in terms of exp and such they all give the same amount. You can just stick with the latest one if you'd like. There's a new planet coming in a week as well.
Oh i didnt even mean the planets, i havent explored those yet, i more mean the submission rewards for the quests have "bronze" "silver" and "gold" stars that seem to only affect the credit / cosmocredit rewards, and not the class exp

Getting gold stars on higher difficulty missions can give bonuses but otherwise, yeah, it doesn't affect exp gain. Just the stuff like research data and class contribution points.
Thats good to know then thank you, much simpler to just go for bronze to level up for now haha
How much sack of nuts is one glaze/twine?
3k for the twine, 2k for the glaze
Salutes do you know a lo vermillion discord?
Want to know best lineup after getting all minions hahah
What Settings or Hud stuff would be good? I finished Base Stormblood and havent started Post yet but I think I should change my Hud.
Any suggestions?
Main thing would be splitting up the target info element into its components and making the target castbar larger and closer to the middle of your screen.
It's important to know what an enemy is casting a lot of the time.
Other than that, splitting up your buffs/debuffs can also be useful so it's easier to see any debuffs you get
Can also go through this post by Wynne: #protips-and-ui message
It has various useful settings
Thank you for the advices 🥺
I assume in terms of Wynnes post I can keep cutscenes on so I still get all the story?
how do I level my crafters without gathering for 20 minutes before each leve
It only skips the duty cutscenes after you've seen them once. So you won't have the cutscene flying through the dungeon every time you enter a dungeon you've already done ten times
cosmic exploration is one way
is it just me or is it snails pace after 50
it is slower but theres no need for mats
I mean yeah but it takes ages if I wanna do cosmic or takes a long time to gather with leves
or spend all my gil on mats
it comes down to what you want to do.
if ur rich, buy mats. if u have time, do cosmic. want something balanced, do leves/collectibles.
which I just spent all of it on hair and glam
I feel like the entire crafter leveling process is designed to be as tedious and annoying as possible
you cant have cheap and fast for something like this. cuz everyone would pick that method. you gotta give one up.
I mean theres a difference between cheap and fast and just extreme tedium and annoyance
u can knock out 10-100 in cosmic wit minimal gil costs in a day, all while getting relic progress and other mats for cosmic related stuff. i think thats a good deal.
live service and all that
I'd love if cosmic exploration gave more exp especially since you are kind of gated out of progress until after certain levels
you can try ishguard till 80 but that involves gather and craft. so maybe u can knock em both out
idk how anyone is going to do 10-100 unless you are optimizing every second of your day
make a macro, split screen, watch something while click macro every minute
a macro?
macros are used for crafting usually, it automates some of the process
I've never done that
something like this. thats how u basically craft "mindlessly" for a long period of time

Good morning. There's one fear I kind of have with the amount of time I have invested in XIV, and it's not being able to access my characters on a fresh install(if I have to get a new computer).
I'm mostly talking about when I still have an active account(and expansions bought), and it's just been nagging me a bit recently.
Characters are tied to your account, there is no possible way where you wouldn't be able to access them beyond losing your account credentials
There was one instance I had in the past where I wasn't able to when I made a dumb attempt to move XIV to a different drive.
It would give me the starting screen as if I was making a new character and playing for the first time
The only thing you can lose is your settings like hotbars and gearsets. So as long as you back those up you're fine
i have a question if i were to lvl blacksmithing what other jobs would i need to lvl it for free other then mining and botany
like no market board cuz im like broke broke
there's no sugarcoating : All.
You will require wood for that handle of a hammer you gonna craft
You will require tanned leather from leatherworkers
If you do one crafter, you're basically requiring them all.
The only crafter that’s really independent is Culinarian
Not like you can use a metal bar to add flavor to a juicy steak
yet
Someone told me the stormblood expansion is included into the free trial, is this true?
Yes
the free trial includes ARR, Heavensward, Stormblood, and (as of a few weeks ago) Shadowbringers
Hi quick question, does ffxiv often have summer sale? If so, is it around when steam sale would be(
I'm pretty sure there will be a sale in August
This is my company rank already and I still cannot find the mission for "let the hunt begin". Can someone help me out? ty
How many sack of nuts do you usually get per DT hunt?
Whats the best way to level up an alt class, ive been doing white mage, but i think i want to switch to schoolar, but reaching the msq level will take a while what are my options
40 per A rank, 100 per S rank, 400 per SS rank
how is she floating?

I dont believe it is currently for sale either
As long as I have at least one job at level 100, do I still get those Mathematics and Mnemonics Tomestones from duty roulettes, even if I use a job that isn't maxed out?
no, you need to queue for the roulette on the level 100 job, it's your reward from the roulette in lieu of XP
fair enough, wanted to check thanks. Only just now got my first job to 100

anybody got any tips for getting prepared for HW as someone who's in the post-ARR MSQ
Having augmented ironwork gear.
That's about it,
how can I get tomestones for it? do I just have to do my roulettes everyday or is there more ways? I know there's a-rank monster hunting but idk if anyone does ARR hunts anymore
Every time you complete a level 50/60/70/80/90 content with someone who hasn't cleared it before (including yourself!) everyone in the party gets a first-timer bonus of extra poetics, so you can grab a lot by doing every optional dungeon along the way
Roulettes mostly will give you the bulk of your tomes.
Yeah just work on post arr msq and you’ll have enough for a full set by the end
noted thank you guys
I would also recommend getting someone to unsync you through the Coils of Bahamut storyline. It's the first raid tier and it has pretty good lore, especially tying in the 1.0 version lore of things that happened before you got to Eorzea. But it doesn't have a "story mode" difficulty option so it's never queued for directly and in no roulettes, so most people end up just unsyncing it and getting the lore that way.
If you aren't on free trial, you can put up a party finder listing asking for a helper and someone will probably bite for all those free first-time bonus poetics. If you are, I would probably ask in Novice Network. Heck, if you want it done today you could DM me, I am working on some relic weapons that require a ton. Regardless, there are some cutscene flags that mark if you did it or not about halfway through the HW patch content so I would have it done before then if you care to do it.
With the Custom Deliveries, i notice some have "bonus"s that offer more scrips. Do those reset weekly or am i able to wait til tomorrow for it to change back toc rafter?
change weekly
Ah dang, ty
is there any way to queue into bowl of embers hard with npcs, the wait time is insane
Nope, check your language settings to see if that’ll speed up queue times
!faq jedf
try going to a more populated data center too, I went to Crystal from Dynamis because the king mooglemog queue was unbearable. found a nice person in Limsa that helped me get a fast queue
Not too helpful for someone in the EU, as both datacenters are pretty equal in population
thanks I'll try them out
ohh my bad. only thing I can think of it switching to healer or getting a healer to join you so the queue pops faster
Ahhhh, glamour plates affect gear and not jobs :/ Is there any way I can get a glamour on warrior and another on dark Knight while they are using the same gear?
make two glam plates basically
But I have to use it every time I switch job
No, you right click the gear set and link each to a different plate, then it will automatically apply it when you switch
But for example, I have a set that I am using right now and I want that as my glamour but I cant do a plate with it because I'm using it at the moment, Any way I can just keep the gear that I'm using? I'm wearing the 130 alagam gear or whatever
Put the gear in the dresser, make the plate, pull the gear out again and equip it
Then use the plate like normal
It doesnt work :/
you mean ng+?
The overworld changes to how it would be during that part of the MSQ during NG+

Are levequests worth it for levelling gathering / crafting?
In mid 20s with both atm
Yes it's the best method for leveling them. Turning in high quality items rewards you with double xp
Though Ishgard is really nice too if you prefer to just make a hundred of one thing and turn it all
Worth noting that you should still be doing Grand Company turn-ins, custom deliveries (when you unlock them), and imo the crafting beast tribe quests (it's pretty much easy free xp every day and once you get high enough reputation you get cool stuff anyway)
Hey, I'm a returning player and my in game chat seems to be messed up. I'm unable to see any player's messages, but they say they can see mine. Any ideas what might be causing this?
how does kaiten work with higanbana
is the dot also amplified?
or just the initial slash
DoT amplified
so all ticks do more damage?
At the bottom of the chat box you should see different "filter"
I think the most likely case is that you have a filter on that filters out other people's messages
I'd try clicking "general"
and seeing if they appear then
It's currently on general. And we have tried party, shout, tell, say, etc.
In which case I'd go to character config -> log settings -> click general and see what it ticked and not ticked (determines what is filtered and what isn't)
poetic will got reset ? its say at top right corner Reset in 68hours
If that doesn't give a clear solutions then I'm out of ideas for the moment
oh
I think that was it. For some reason all of the chat was unchecked under filters. I'll try it when my friend is back on. Thank you!

Have these two skills been removed from SAM?
I know Diversion has
Which DoH makes grimoires?
when trying to interrupt via stun or interject, how do I know which move needs to be interject/stun?
alchemist @gritty oracle
Wait what
Yeah, cos they make ink and stuff...
Is there a guide in acquiring the onishi and yamashi gears from SB? I couldn't find any references for it
If I get a tell or pm the message comes up as purple right, forgot what color it is
Its crafted

i have a small question about leveling I've reached level 42 is there anything i can do to help speed it up or am i just meant to grind through it doing side quests and duty roulette
Have you been following the MSQs?
yeah
but i need to keep grinding for a bit to do the next lot
and its takes a while
im not sure if im doing it efficiently or not is what i should really be asking
The other option to MSQs (outside of FATEs) would just be side quests or using duty finder?
The level 40-ish period is just an annoying period tbh. It skips some levels and can leave you gated like that
I would just do your roulette for the day and then the highest level dungeon or Palace of the Dead
hey guys
returning player here, i remember getting a class specific set b4 for my dragoon while doing ARR
is there any way i can get class sets for glamour on my boosted ninja
lvl 70?
Go to one of the main cities
and find a calamity salvager
You can buy it from there
It's like....1k gil per piece
thanks cal!
So dirt cheap
thaks for responding @tough wolf & @wintry chasm
I just got a notification saying i can get a job or something now, how do i do that?
Do your class quests
is there a class at lower levels that is least affected by the gcd? game feels so slow and painful to play 😦
Busy class at 80 hmmmm.... ast, dnc
(Idk about the others since I mainly play slow class due to problems)
Honestly BLM rotation isnt fast nor busy, but I always have multiple mini heart attack playing it x'D
do i need to keep completing msq's?
Whats the last MSQ quest you completed?
Rdm isn't good awful early
You have to keep going
When you finish the quest "Sylph Management" is when you get your job
Hi guys, in ArcheAge you could use your own images in hour housing as paintings and stuff, is that possible in ff14?
No
Thats a real shame, okay thanks

Short question: LB is reduced if you stack a class right?
How fast you gain it yes
Only for premade
is it just me or do crafting professions level up pretty fast? I'm up to level 35 and I haven't had to do more than 2 leves per 5 levels
Hello, can i ask how to gain / gather free company credits? is it linked to the grand company seals ?
whats this?
They buffed crafting and gathering xp a while ago to a disgustingly high amount @sturdy mason
@oak spindle That's tied to the like, B/A/S rank mobs you can find in the overworld
Ya know, like the ones that probably one shot you when you were leveling
@leaden ginkgo A number of things really
inviting new people, crafting and gathering things high quality, fates, supply and provisioning with a grand company.
List goes on
Is opening the journal the only way to initiate a levequest?
Yes
WTB button on the HUD quest list
is there anyone here that has cleared TEA?
how many bars of LB can be spared before we have to save it up for tank LB3 later on?
not at all
mostly just for self-repair or self-overmeld
but then again you dont overmeld anymore in savage
so its really just self-repair
ive went a couple years raiding without any crafters up
the only thing youre missing out is self-repair
and maybe the lack of ability to just assemble your own food and potions
Yeah you don't need it Rin
It's just some minor QoL stuff if all you care about is raiding
Oh kk, I just started the game and current suffering from MSQ overload 😣 why can’t it be short and sweet like your class quests...
dont worry, ARR is the only one you have to endure
its all smooth sailing the closer you are to HW
That’s the tip
How do you pronounce Levemete?
granted ARR is gonna get condensed by the time patch 5.3 comes out
but its still a long way off
Leh vee mee teh?
is it levay-mate?
Leave-meet.
O_O
It’s not that, it’s that this is my first FF game and I literally don’t know wtf is going on. I thought my game crashed when they cut to that gaelon empire scene and spaceships were shown O.O
Leve is an archaic spelling of “leave” in the sense of permission, like “I grant you leave to do this”
I was going to say this is so immersion breaking before that turns out to be a actual thing... fucking space ships!
And mete as in distribute, like to “mete out” something is to give it to people
this game is as much the journey as it is the destination depending on what youre looking for
and mete sounds like "meet"?
Is it possible to has the class of Damage and healer?
because i wanna use a different class but i don't wanna restart
usually one E has a sharper, shorter sound. But it sounds like in old speak it's a long form E
If I get to level 70 in duty finder the game will still be locked if I don’t finish MSQ right?
A levemete distributes leveplates with tasks attached, which grant you permission to carry that task out with official adventurer’s guild sanction and receive the rewards.
This concludes your lore talk
It’s leave-meet, yeah
Absolutely.
Well thanks, you're super smart lol
What is a Levemete?
NPC who hands out leves
Why does everyone play as a Neko or Rabbit girl?
because waifu
I mean i play as the rabbit girl but still
Which are mini-battle objectives or crafting/gathering item turnins
Yes
When i get a job what's the best one to go for?
Because they’re basic Mithrax
theres no best job
Your job is a continuation of your class
I see
as in
Lancer becomes dragoon, conjurer becomes white mage etc.
Arcanist?
Ah
oh that job
What does that become?
That’s the only one that splits into two
^
arcanist becomes either Scholar or Summoner
It becomes a DPS AND a healer
but you can become both
^ this
It becomes both a dps job, summoner; and a healer job, scholar
(but later use different gear)
Ah that's great
Scholar, being a healer, will help you get faster dungeon queues
Scholars are awesome!
Y’shtola is a conjurer 👀
The only downside to using both is the downside of gearing both jobs being a pain
When do i unlock the Scholar and Summoner then?
Also yes Y'shtola is a conjurer
Oh do i just need to complete the missions?
Level 30 if you've done a level 20 MSQ quest called Sylph Management and done all your class quests
youll just be directed to where to unlock Summoner and Scholar there
At level 30 after finishing all your arcanist guild quests up to that level.
Oh... dang I thought my waifu was a healer...
She is kinda
she is a healer
Conjurer is the pre-class to white mage.
also yeah you should ALWAYS do those class quests when you unlock them
It's rule number 1
Oh that makes sense now. I thought it was some unique class or something
Oh
Dungeon queue? Dps generally queue for longer, but also this is a totally dead time for North American servers
Which will be making it much worse
I'm in the Europe servers
Yeah Class quests give you class skills + best weapon for that level + chest piece (worth more than the gold) for that level.
class quest unlocks you even more abilities
because that's where i live
Does it unlock summon ll?
yes
Oh well i should go get that then
im assuming the titan summon
Yeah class quests and job quests should be considered mandatory.
I spent like 30 minutes queing for Sastasha as tank somehow today.
I'm onto the quest "Into a Copper Hell" and it's so long in wait time
Yeah
Mithrax what server are you on?
It’s supercool, I like it better than the other 2 before it.
Isn’t that EU?
Again Mithrax, for reasons like that rule number one of playing XIV is do your damn class and job quests xD
Oddly enough I play on Lich from Cali and suffer no ping.
Yeah lol

Skills/gear/titles I guess
Ok Light datacenter then
1 5 10 15 20 25 30 35 40 45 50 50 52 54 56 58 60 60 63 65 68 70 80
are the job quest levels
Just letting you know, the datacentre role you have selected in this discord server is the wrong one
but youll get notified in your "next msq quest" screen
the little footnote under the next main scenario quest
Oh i have a limit break bar
starting with a little exclamation mark
Oh oh oh and you get free EXP boost if you join a Free Company (guild).
is the next job quest you can do
If I upgrade my game to the complete edition, I simply enter the code on the mog station page right?
That's for the whole party @leaden ginkgo
Provided that FC puts the buff up @tropic plover
Ah i see
What the lb does depends on who uses it though
no idea how to use it
Caster is aoe damage, ranged is a straight line aoe, DPS is a massive single target attack, healer is..well obvious, tanks too
Oh... that makes sense now.
Go to your action menu, then to general, then put limit break on your hotbar @leaden ginkgo
I was wondering how I only had 2 buffs from it
Action menu is P on keyboard by default
Done
Warrior is super fun idk why we’re tanks though. You pull 8 mobs, pop 100% Crit, spam your cone AoE, and everything dead.
If the bar is full and the tank pulls a larger number of mobs, go ahead and use it
As arcanist you’re a caster so yours is a ground target AoE
Alright
You’ll need to place an orange circle on the ground with your mouse
I just see the arcanist in my part spam that icy ground spell constantly, probably does good damage.
Cover all the enemies with it
There’s a priority on who gets to use LB though it’s kind of an unwritten rule.
lol
Yeah, caster or ranged on a large pack is the best use of LB most of the time in dungeons
Because MSQ TwT
Then melee LB on boss
In light party content the dps are expected to use it. Either on extra large enemy packs if ranged/caster or on bosses if melee
Healer lb is used in like... random df runs of trials if everyone dies
Tanks only lb for certain mechanics in certain fights where they have to.
What is LB?
Limit break
In 8 man content the healer LB can resurrect the entire party to full health at tier 3 so it’s quite common to hold off on using it before the boss is below 10% as to have a panic button for the healers if everything goes to hell
Oh wow when do I get it?
Any time you’re in a party in a dungeon etc.
LB is a thing in every party content. But the third level becomes a thing during 8-man content
It’s not locked behind MSQ right?
No it’s tied to parties
Open your actions and traits menu (keyboard P) and go to the “general” tab. There you’ll see the limit break button, which you can drag onto your hotbar.
When the limit break bar fills, it can be used.
Note that the limit break bar is shared across the whole party.
Once you have 4 people aka light part you get the 1st and 2nd tier LB if you get 8 people aka full party you get the 3rd and final tier
As a tank, you will seldom use it. 99.9% of the time it is best reserved for the use of the DPS.
Or an oh shit button for healers if the party fucks up before then
So don’t go hitting it willy-nilly as a tank
Kinda tempted, I panic a lot as tank.
Please don’t use it
You are likely gonna trigger your teammates if you do keep in mind
It’s not very effective anyway
Like i said it’s kind of an unwritten rule
If you do use it you are likely to be reprimanded, yelled at and in some cases maybe kicked
Nah I won’t be tank for long I’m switching to Samurai the second I hit level 50!
Like tanking is so much work and hard to parse.
Dpsing optimally can be harder work
Tank damage is pretty nice though. Maybe I should just stay War and be offtank that never really ranks.
Which LB3 is the annoying one that covers the entire floor with a bright light?
a lot of them are annoying but RDM's is the worst probably
Ah yes
cause it puts a filter on your screen so you can't even look away to dodge it
Someone used it at last boss of nier raid and almost wiped us all
but all casters and healers are super flashy
Thing is with that it’s usually that most of the party is dead anyway
But bad timing can screw up any LB
just dodge the aoes 
if anything it's the monk LB that can wipe you cause it has a gapcloser to the middle of the enemy, so you can fall off the edge on a lot of wall bosses like eden's leviathan and titan
or Alex ultimate jails
Me(rdm) at e2 with my fc mate; "should I lb?"
My guild leader; "lol, if camp lb, we all die"
Whoa final heaven actually moves your position?
Wait wha?
but monk like, goes in in
Gonna needa verify this
had e3s wipes on smokers cause monk LB, inside Levi target ring, dashed the monk off the edge
Pretty sure drg needs to be in mrange to begin with
DRG can’t do it from out of melee reach
Is there any good lv 60 weapon i can get "for free" like ironworks in lv 50?
shire gear in idyllshire
Yes, the Shire weapon from Iydlshire
I can’t find anything verifying MNK LB3 moving you
Dont think I got there yet, probably still have to advance on MSQ
Most likely, though if you haven't reached there yet, then you don't need the weapon
I'm probably overleveld from duties
I’d expect your monk was making different mistakes
What does this symbol mean?
Vis is right
Found a vid of the LB from the monk’s player perspective and the camera follows the movement
https://youtu.be/cbNlAdTErNA not monk pov but you can see him charging after its cast
Do glamour prisms have to be in your inventory to use them at the Inn?
Yes

I know my dumb wipe suspects, happened too many times 
Regarding end game, if I'm maxed on phantasmagoria and CF gear for the week, there's really no point in running roulettes or eden or CF right?
Gear-wise I'm waiting on deepshadow at this point
you can still get the end loot from nier like minion music glam coffer
glam coffer?
and some roulettes adventurer in need gives you materia 7 and 8
oh u mean the 2B outfit
I've been spending time leveling fieldcraft jobs
do some extremes, level crafters yeah
or just for mounts, or rare mats to sell/make bardings etc
^
oh I meant expert, I got confused
Or in the case of Hades a 365 weapon
Hades is also just an amazing fight
It's feels good to do
hades scares me
it's the hardest extreme atm so you can probably start with titania or innocence
to get the feel for harder endgame if you want to
never done an extreme or savage yet, guess I gotta start at some point to get better
Do you all normally run with FC mates only? Or do you use PF for most runs?
Question about game files. Are UI settings, keybinds etc stored in FFXIV_CHR(a bunch of numbers)?
If I had to list them in difficulty I'd say Titania -> Innocence -> Hades
PF/statics
Statics being a group of people that raid together
Not necessarily from the same FC
I feel like hades is harder to learn than it is to do, because you gotta learn a lot of different mechanics and then they only show up once or twice

anybody has experience with directx 9 version of game after the support has ended?
i wonder if that could fix my bluescreen issues
I am starting to level Botanist, and I get to the quest telling me to harvest from bushes. I need a scythe for that. But I never received one from previous quests. Am I missing something? Where can I get one?
there's fieldcraft gear vendors in every city's general vendor/marketboard area
can get one there for like 50 gil probably
I looked it up and everyone is saying they should just give you one, which makes sense. I don't remember anything ever telling me I need to get one from a vendor...
hmm
it's an offhand, so in a different armory chest section than weapons
Yeah, nothing there
Can anyone recommend me a good website for classguides?
!faq balance
Thank you 👍🏻
The new Hildibrand story almost always starts in x.2 right? (I am starting to miss him! 😂)
they haven't mentioned anything about new hildibrand in the 5.2 liveletter
as far as I know at least
so I was experiencing a bit of and odd issue in the last 20 minutes or so, where it seemed like my connection to the game was just hanging for a few seconds, and then suddenly resuming again, so I decided to continuously ping the data center in the background, and while my connection was hanging in game, I didn't have any packet loss or odd issues with the my ping test during those moments. is there some weird stuff going on with the US DC right now, or is my client just playing up?
Might just be you
well my connection to the server out of game was fine, no packet loss or dropped packets as far as I could tell, and no variation in the ping either
i'm restarting my client to see if that might have been the problem though
I’ve seen that happen from time to time as well, but it generally corrects itself
Were you in an instance?
ah no, just open world stuff~
Hmm. The instance servers will sometimes lag if they get overloaded, but the overworld is typically fine
Hello everyone! I'm just getting started and I was wondering- does the typical player run with a lore-friendly 'canon' name, or are people generally more lighthearted about such a thing?
I'm about to finalize everything but worry about appearing tacky/goofy in comparison to the general playerbase. 
honestly, people have goofy names all the time - comes down to how you want to play! no one is going to think any different, other than perhaps having a chuckle if your name is funny, etc.
Alright, cool, thanks! I was thinking I'd spam the name generator until something looked satisfying.
the character creator in game does also offer a name generator if that's to your fancy too, though that seems to be more lore-friendly as it's tied to your race generally
oh, sorry, you did mean the in game one!
generally what I'd do is I'll spam it a bunch and write down what forenames and surnames I liked the most, then pick between them :)
I've been looking deep into the 1.0 lore
She got revived
🤔
Is there a quest that locks desynthing things?
Had a question for everyone - I was looking up dancer weapons to look for glams, and found the coven glaives. Problem is, Diadem isn't a thing anymore - are they un-obtainable now?
Is there a consistent ways to get allied seals?
For that, I do blu stuff
By doing the Blue Mage log
Speaking of desynthing things if I'm leveling crafting is it better to sell back things I'm making or desynth them
Up to you and how much the item goes for
@mild knoll it really should share a model with some other dancer weapon
It's what they tend to do a lot for those kinds of things
i was looking up all the dnc weapons and i didn't see any that shared the base model
OH WAIT ofund em fjdklsag;h
i'm a dummy
oh but those are undyable, rip
?
it's the doman iron glaives
but they're gold instead of black, like the coven ones base are
are these pretty normal percentages for botanist levequests after using Leaf Turn?
Takes quite a bit of time to grind 20 HQ
Floating around 80 is pretty normal without buffs
I try to keep gear upgraded every 5 levels or so, but most of the stuff on the MB is very overpriced so I don't upgrade all pieces. Just the stuff under 10k usually
12% base chance of HQ isn't bad either assuming you ONLY did leaf turn
Max you can get without buffs is 15%
yeah depending on the node it's 12-17% base
oh that's the max? wow I thought it would be much higher
I thought I was undergeared
To keep Agro as a DK do I need to use abilities that increases Enmity or do I just need to constantly attack stuff and I get Agro cuz I’m a tank
Alright thanks, haven’t played since February and forgot everything about Tanking
And yes DK is the only tank I’ve played
Right but yeah, put on grit means all your attacks will basically pull aggro and generate a fuck ton of enmity and all you have to do is actually hit the mobs
Do I need to keep casting Truth of Forests? Or will it automatically detect one in range if I get close? It shows up as a permanent buff
Not looking forward to doing dungeons since I have to relearn DK
No it's automatically applied when you switch to a gatherer now
Yeah keep it on
Oh ok because buffs like Sneak and Preparation do not stay activated when I switch jobs, only the map one does
Lol quick synth get now to just watch YouTube while I mill 500 ingots
I find if you have it on when an unspoiled node comes up it takes a moment to register with the buff on and that taking it off and on again makes it appear on the map that little bit faster though
How long is a moment?
Well, it's server ticks, so usually about 3 seconds at most
I can see that mattering if you're passing by like, on the very edge of that range or something
Also with sneak, if you're in a major city sneak will not auto pop even if you have the auto-sneak trait
So you either change to the class you want in a combat zone or manually apply it
that seems like a bug
I know it's subjective but is Summoner a more difficult class to play? Or should I ask - does it require more micro-management than most other classes (DoTs, Pets)?
It's been reported before, but haven't seen anything on it
Pets you don't have to micro manage since its all worked into your actions pretty much
It does have a fair amount of buttons to press though
I wouldn't say it's the hardest job though
I'm just looking through YT videos on jobs and trying to find a balance. I don't think anything would be too difficult (I've tanked and healed in WoW raids) but I'm trying to find something that I can do well at without being overly concerned with tracking stuff and without being bored.
I got to 50 on SMN/SCH and only really started to consider this, haha, but now other jobs have opened up. I never really liked Warlock on WoW (if you're familiar with this) because of DoTs though. Does SMN still only need to work with Miasma and Bio?
Whats a the best place to farm Potash? (I know I can buy it, but I rather farm some first)
@crimson trail
Level 50 hard dungeons.
Some hard mode dungeons + lost city of Amdapor and Hullbreaker island drop it
Thank you!@rich bay
You can also convert the gear you get to GC seals to purchase them that way as well
Thank you all! 😄
@narrow glacier Oh I know, but If i can farm item I always go for that option, at the very least I can save some saeal spending. =3
You might also want to check the MB on various servers as well. If it's really cheap might be easier just to go that route instead.
oh my god how do I do level 50 pacification levequests as a level 80 WHM? My Dia 1 shots everything
Auto attacks
that takes like 5 minutes
Use a level 1 weapon?
Start removing gear then
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions and discuss Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion. Thank-You, Kupo!
and never use a DoT on pacification
just get naked my dude
The main issue with hard mode dungeon farming (even unsynced) is that there are some mechanics that make it so you have to spend some time dealing with things instead of just plowing through the instance at light speed. Even if you do get the potash it's not going to be a mind blowing amount per run.
getting naked worked thanks

@tough wolf Every job in FF has more need for party/combat awareness than WoW... partially because there are no addons
So there’s always a layer of complexity there
You might want to consider something like SAM or RDM (which should both be available to you)
Most jobs have DoTs that should be up as much as possible so its not SMN specific.
DNC has no DoTs tho.
I wouldn’t say most
I can think of a good number of jobs that don’t have dots
RDM doesn’t. DNC doesn’t. MCH doesn’t.
AST and SCH don’t
Uh..
I don’t think
Sch has bio. Ast has male something
All healers have dots
Neat. So two ranged physical and warrior.
And I thought they removed Bio from SCH
SCH had 2 dots, they have one now
Ahh
Yup they combined bio and miasma into biolysis
I didn’t list any tanks or melee because I haven’t really played any of those jobs
Does MNK have a dot?
Demolish
To my knowledge Wildfire was never a DoT
It was before ShB
Yup demolish
All the melee have DoTs
No, it wasn't
It did the same thing it does now, building up damage based on doing other attacks
It took a dot slot but yes it explodes at once
SAM has a Banana DoT sen spender
MNK has Demolish
DRG has Chaos Thrust
NIN has shadow fang as well as their Doton puddle
Banana dot?
Lol
Higanbana
My only SAM is level 51
it's just the one-sen skill
Haven’t gotten that far
You already got it.
Really?
you start with all three Iaijutsu available at 50
!action iajutsu
Higanbana is amazing. 60 second DoT
Was only using Midare
Is there a log or a section in this game where I can read up on 1.0 lore?
In game?
Yeah
I don’t think so
Nothing really in game, but there’s a few 1.0 related pins in #archived-lore-spoilers
1.0 was a separate game for all intents and purposes
Ok
If you search youtube there's some videos with 1.0 cutscenes if you're really that interested
I found one
Coil also picks up on what happened around the ARR trailer (aka the final cutscene of 1.0)
But it doesn't have every cutscene
how do I acquire tomes of folklore?
Those are yellow scrip, and specific vendors depending on what tier you're in
or what expansion more specifically
I just got introduced to them with in-game tutorial, I'm level 50 BTN
There isn't one for ARR. You start getting them in Heavensward if you've unlocked Iddylshire
Yeah I finished all the way up to 5.1
The tent area there has all the respective collectibles NPCs. You might need to do a blue quest in the area as a DoH/DoL to unlock the NPCs though
Thanks for the info on DoTs (though I was more thinking about micro-management than DoTs specifically). SAM looks interesting, when I look at their combos I see this https://i.imgur.com/DVnJ2BD.png on the immediate face it looks like it's a big thing to get used to but does it actually come quite naturally?
Spendors Vendor is the name of the NPC in Idyllshire who sells the books. The Tokens you need to get the books are sold by the scrip exchange (any of them). It's just the Tome of Folklore that you must get from the Splendors Vendor for the expansion it covers.
The one for SB is in Rhalgr's Reach, and ShB is in Eulmore when you get to that level
that's a really old image but yeah, it just comes down to knowing the proper opener made by big math brains from the balance and then knowing the priority system for the job @tough wolf
I don't play melees often but when I was messing around with samurai at 80 it's pretty simple once you get used to it
comfy cooldowns with most stuff being 60s and 120s
Do i still get to open the chest at the end if i run a trial unsynced solo or are rewards limited?
you get the same stuff synced and unsynced
You still get the chest
ok ty
@green grail thanks.
So, I know a lot of healers have little speech macros that they use when they res people, is it possible to make one macro for all classes?
Like would this work?
/micon "Raise"
/ac "Raise" <t>
/ac "Ascend" <t>
/ac "Resurrection" <t>
insert text here
yeah should work
though you may want to repeat the /ac lines a few times, that usually makes combat macros more responsive
each line is executed in one frame
What about verraise? :p
Not levelled RDM yet :3
Is fishing worth leveling?
depends on your definition of worth
Will it provide any benefits that i will not get from other gathering classes
sometimes the best raid food is fish so having a Fisher at level cap and making tons of raid food to sell is profitable
and be worth the time investment
well yeah each gatherer provides different thiggs
things
if you want to make money through crafting and more specifically culinarian then having a fisher leveled can benefit you a lot
but it really depends on what's being used at the moment
Alright, im going to level fishing i guess
hopefully it will be worth the time investment
you can get by on basically all crafters without Fisher, except culinarian
How long does it take to level all the crafters?
and even then it's pretty much a coin toss whether the selling food will be fish or some BTN items
I leveled them long ago but 5.1 buffed all crafter and gatherer exp by a lot lot from what I've heard
I heard the ishgardian restoration xp is pretty good
so for the level 50 botanist quest, it says unspoiled node spawns at 9AM game time. I can't find it in central highlands anywhere. Does it go away after some time?
mm probably, but that's just for crafters atm I think?
crafting mentors when
@obsidian patio unofficial crafting mentor
Activate Truth of Forests
I did that
It will only be around for about 2 hours I think
I made a big circle around the whole map
So you've really gotta catch it
You are looking at the top-right minimap compass thing right?
It's not 9am btw
It's only 1 right now
oh nice
ET is eorzia, LT is local time, ST is server time
You can also set it to show all three without clicking
so between 9-11AM ET
Yeah
Which area of the map should I stand in? Or is it random?
I could probably waste 2 ET hours just moving around to find it
I recommend changing your settings to show both eorzea and local time
😉
You can google the item
it usually tells you the general coordinates
and just wait there
but it shouldnt take more than like 30mins in-game time to move to a place
if you move your fc house to a different plot(e.g. from medium to large), do you lose all your ranked airships/subs in your fc workshop?
hey guys anyone know how to change classes to dark knight?
thanks!

The ishgard crafting fates are over, correct?
this phase, yes
you can still craft and earn tokens for the stuff thou
skybuilder's scrips
Got it. So I can spam the crafts for scripts and xp
yep
and you can go to the firmanent straight from the foundation aetheryte, dont have to run to the gate like during the fates
The gathering nodes are just in normal ishgard right?
Yes
Alright. Its like. Overwhelming just trying to jump into it lol but I'm sure after I do blacksmithing the others'll just be the same thing.
Define same thing
Make the lvl 20 recipe until lvl 40, then make that one, etc
Right. Just the same principles.
I guess I'll do everything to 40, get gear, everything to 60. Etc lol. At least I leveled gathering first.
Hello! I’ve a question : I’m exping and currently on storm blood story almost to end I guess..I’m even exping two jobs since I’m over 60 with my main already but should I just focus in msq and rulette till shb and beyond or ive to unlock something useful?
Have you done the crystal tower 24-man raid from the base game yet?
Yes I did once to unlock alliance raid while I were on hw
Cool
Then I wouldn't say there is anything super important story-wise
Doing the 8-man stormblood raid would be nice but not that important
Another question for machinists
If I have enough skill speed, wouldnt it be preferable to use the basic three shots in overheat over heat blast eventually since the timer isnt affected by anything
You’ll never get enough skill speed for that to happen
Also Heat Blast reduces the cooldown of Gauss Round and Ricochet by 15 seconds every time you use it
Thanks then im on good road to shb

hi everyone Im currently a lancer and would like to switch to paladin
any idea on how to do that
well for paladin you need to be a level 30 gladiator first
to become a gladiator you need to have done the level 10 job quest of Lancer and have access to Ul'Dah
Then you just pick up the
at the gladiator's guild
yeah im level 23
ok so I go to uldah and equip a gladiator weapon and join the guild?
Other way around
join the guild
unlock the class (and it gives you a sword)
equip sword
Hey folks
oh ok thanks
Uh, I'm attempting to play on Ps4 after a long time, however the SEID field is locked and when I sent the password reset it said that there was no SEID linked to said account
Is there any way to resolve this?
ffxiv is Mogstation so log into Mogstation and see which PSN account is tied to it
U dont
oh ok great
Where is the best place to buy game time?
only Mogstation
you can only buy game time cards on other sites
and it's always at the 30 day rate for 60 days
Just buy it off Mogstation and save like 2 dollars a month
best way to level from 1-15?
im trying to get to 15 for gladiator so I can do dungeons
U can buy time with steam wallet as well
What no
hunting log, challenge log, guildhests
MSQ > hunting log yeah
msq?
oh if you've already done the main story then queue up for Guildhests while you do the hunting log. Levequests are also a decent way to level at very low levels
all jobs are pretty bad at low levels
watsa guildhest xd
40+ is where you can kinda start seeing the endgame rotation basics
Guildhests are basically tutorial trials
you sign up for them is one of the first outposts or something I don't remember
When would one ever really use a phoenix down?
palace of the dead
Ah
otherwise they're useless
Makes sense
or eureka
so how do I queue up for these guildhests?
is it under duty finder?
The unlock is from a guildleve person. You just have to unlock leves and the quest pops up
And yes it's in the duty finder
Can anyone help me with satasha?
hm I dont see anything
Have you unlocked leves?
so duty-duty finder
there should be an unlock quest in brentbranch
leves of bentbranch?
Yeah one of those is what you're looking for
If you don't see one then you haven't done at least one leve
so I do that quest and then I can do guildhests
yes
and they give ok exp for completion of each one, for 1-15 leveling
and it's completion on each job so you can tick them off on each low level job to get some extra exp
and do hunting log on each class while waiting in queue
oh ok

@slate arrow thanks. Is there the ability to pause subscription if you go away on holiday?
Nope
@slate arrow thanks mate. I guess I will buy one month at a time.
So to level up faster as a scholar at level 79, I haven't touched trusts much, should I keep doing trust dungeons, or do I do the latest dungeon I can do over and over?
i found glowing rabbit with 3tails beside chocobo NPC
can i capture that ?
look so nice
hmm
its gone
No but u can either summon it as a SMN or buy it as a mount
what happens if I put a glamoured item into the glamour dresser?
this? it's an arcanist pet
yes that one
could someone send me their white mage layout please? i just resubbed to the game after a long time and mine got wooshed ;w;
you either can't or you get the base item either way, glamours don't transfer between items @languid kernel
Where can i use allagan tomestones
main scenario daily gives a lot
a lot off boss kills also give them, so you can do trials
at 50 in mor dhona, at 60 in idyllshire, at 70 in rhalgr's reach
i just saw that some of my skills are missing even though i already have a higher level one, why is that?
they're from job quests, which are locked behind reaching heavensward msq
finished 3.3 msq
after that its recommended to have a crafter/gatherer on level with whatever you're trying to make
or close to it i suppose
thanks!
can anyone help me understand why i can't meld this to any of my equipment. seems the only materia i can meld to them are CP+ ones
how do i get a mount?
@solemn vine lvl 20 msq
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
@leaden ginkgo certain grade materia can only be used on certain ilvl gear
I assume the gear you are trying to put the materia on is too low in ilvl
ohhhhh, makes sense thanks. is there a way to tell before i buy the materia lol
oh you're right, wow, it was right in front of my face 
i cant find anyone to sell me a Chocobo Issuance
you have to buy them with seals at your Grand Company
If you haven't joined a grand company yet do your 
i have, im in the flame guild
The quartermaster
and then the far right tab
if not that tab the one to the left of it
oh thx found it
it lasts 90 days or as long as your server has the preferred status, which usually changes with patch maintenance, like 5.2 coming mid february
oh then I have plenty of time
Was wondering if it went away when I hit 70 on one class
nope, it's active on all your jobs below 70
even after reaching 70 on one or multiple jobs
Okay thanks fishy 🙂
where in azys lla is it best to go to power level BLU
or do i just run around as a headless chicken while my friend knocks stuff out
there's like a loop in one of the entrance-level early areas, past the entrance point, you go past an arch, turn left, climb up a hill, drop down a 2-step drop and stuff should be respawned
on the first island
can anyone tell me what shirt this is
👍🏾
basically just go around the first island tagging mobs and up the hill when you see one then drop down the buildings as your friend kills them all, something like this but can't confirm cause i did it a while ago @little swift
hello everyone I am new here
I was thinking about getting the game of humble bundle with all the DLCs. my question is. Is it worth getting the game still? 10 years old?
it's basically the 2nd most played mmo after world of warcraft, so if you're into that and final fantasy then definitely get it
you can play the free trial first but it has all the social functions limited and only goes up to lvl 35
but otherwise yeah it's definitely worth getting
it's never too late to get in the game with every even patch like 5.2 coming soon or 5.4 coming later is basically a reset of endgame with everyone doing new content and getting new gear
@green grail thanks we found our own little short loop and finished it :^)
@dull minnow. 6 years old. Realm reborn came out in 2013
@green grail will I need a buy a new DLC soon? Or is there no DLC coming out soon?
Next one will be in 2021
Oh really
So far they have releases every 2 years
I play WoW, and BDO
BDO learning curve is not friendly
How is this games learning curve
FFXIV is really easy but also much slower
Yeah
Slower? How
People would even complain it hand holds you too much
Longer gcd
but as you level you get a bunch of ogcds to make up for it

But outside of combat there is also lots and lots of story you need to go through
is there a way to mark yourself AFK manually ?
/afk I think?
or do it from your search info menu
I need to watch some videos. Idk why they are called Jobs
/afk worked, thank you
It's a job because you basically pick the classes up like they are professions
It's a Final Fantasy thing in general XL
You can learn and level them all on a single character too
