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)

limber hound
#

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

cyan umbra
#

As i said "even though the item in question i can equip and use"

limber hound
#

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?

cyan umbra
#

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

Hello, is there a way to hide all quest except msq? Its giving me ocd seeing all the quest markers

obsidian patio
#

Not without plugins, no. If you don’t want a quest to show you’ll have to do it

cyan umbra
#

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)

karmic knot
#

Were they accessories? They might say "all class" but they're still locked to certain roles.

limber hound
#

From what I see you should have been able to press need for it ponderpaissa
really could just be that you already had it, the "you already have this item" text is not hard to miss

limber hound
cyan umbra
#

either way i lost the greed role to the healer anyways -.-

limber hound
#

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

bitter herald
#

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

twilit arch
#

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

bitter herald
#

there are a couple like that in the arr sets yeah.

limber hound
#

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

copper aurora
#

With the Cosmic Exploration, do Stars matter for farming exp? seems like it doesn't change the rewards at all so far

jovial quarry
#

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.

copper aurora
#

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.

copper aurora
#

Thats good to know then thank you, much simpler to just go for bronze to level up for now haha

how do I level my crafters without gathering for 20 minutes before each leve

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

rigid sinew

#

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

rigid sinew
still sonnet
#

I mean theres a difference between cheap and fast and just extreme tedium and annoyance

rigid sinew
still sonnet
#

I'd love if cosmic exploration gave more exp especially since you are kind of gated out of progress until after certain levels

rigid sinew
#

you can try ishguard till 80 but that involves gather and craft. so maybe u can knock em both out

#

a macro?

rigid sinew
#

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.

fleet cipher
#

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

calm bone
#

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

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

Yeah just work on post arr msq and you’ll have enough for a full set by the end

amber gull
#

noted thank you guys

white lotus
# amber gull anybody got any tips for getting prepared for HW as someone who's in the post-AR...

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?

Why does it constantly take hours for my queue to pop

If you're on the EU or JP servers, it might be prudent to use the ⚙️ to change your duty finder settings to allow more players speaking different languages to be matched with you!

amber gull

#

Not too helpful for someone in the EU, as both datacenters are pretty equal in population

upper musk
#

thanks I'll try them out

amber gull
#

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?

modest igloo

#

But I have to use it every time I switch job

dull widget
jolly coral
#

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

dull widget
#

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 :/

valid viper
#

Are levequests worth it for levelling gathering / crafting?

#

In mid 20s with both atm

wintry chasm
#

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)

narrow cave
#

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?

leaden ginkgo
#

how does kaiten work with higanbana

#

is the dot also amplified?

#

or just the initial slash

wintry chasm
#

DoT amplified

leaden ginkgo
#

so all ticks do more damage?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

You should always kaiten it

leaden ginkgo
#

ah okay

#

thanks

wintry chasm
#

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

narrow cave
#

It's currently on general. And we have tried party, shout, tell, say, etc.

wintry chasm
#

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)

serene elbow
#

poetic will got reset ? its say at top right corner Reset in 68hours

wintry chasm
#

If that doesn't give a clear solutions then I'm out of ideas for the moment

fresh lodge
#

Thats the weekly capped tomestone

#

And also weekly reset

wintry chasm
#

(not poetics)

#

Ignore that timer till you hit level 80

serene elbow
#

oh

narrow cave
#

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!

wintry chasm
#

Np

#

That should fix it

unborn sentinel
#

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

tough wolf
#

Have you been following the MSQs?

unborn sentinel
#

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

tough wolf
#

The other option to MSQs (outside of FATEs) would just be side quests or using duty finder?

wintry chasm
#

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

#

Go to one of the main cities

#

and find a calamity salvager

#

You can buy it from there

#

with gold im guessing?

or a special c urrency

It's like....1k gil per piece

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 😦

All classes are like that at the start

Short question: LB is reduced if you stack a class right?

wintry chasm
#

How fast you gain it yes

fresh lodge
#

Only for premade

wintry chasm
#

mmm

#

Which to be fair is all the time when raiding

sturdy mason
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Hello, can i ask how to gain / gather free company credits? is it linked to the grand company seals ?

oak spindle
wintry chasm
#

They buffed crafting and gathering xp a while ago to a disgustingly high amount @sturdy mason

sturdy mason
#

pleasurable high amount

FTFY

#

🙂

wintry chasm
#

@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

sturdy mason
#

Is opening the journal the only way to initiate a levequest?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

sturdy mason
#

WTB button on the HUD quest list

small portal
#

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?

tropic plover
#

Do I need crafting professions at max level?

#

If I wanna raid

small portal
#

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

wintry chasm
#

Yeah you don't need it Rin

#

It's just some minor QoL stuff if all you care about is raiding

tropic plover
#

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...

small portal
#

dont worry, ARR is the only one you have to endure

#

its all smooth sailing the closer you are to HW

tropic plover
#

That’s the tip

sturdy mason
#

How do you pronounce Levemete?

small portal
#

granted ARR is gonna get condensed by the time patch 5.3 comes out

#

but its still a long way off

tropic plover
#

Leh vee mee teh?

sturdy mason
#

is it levay-mate?

jade quartz
#

Leave-meet.

sturdy mason
#

O_O

tropic plover
#

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

jade quartz
#

Leve is an archaic spelling of “leave” in the sense of permission, like “I grant you leave to do this”

small portal
#

well

#

take your time

tropic plover
#

I was going to say this is so immersion breaking before that turns out to be a actual thing... fucking space ships!

small portal
#

its not spaceship btw

#

its more like airship

#

well take your time still

jade quartz
#

And mete as in distribute, like to “mete out” something is to give it to people

small portal
#

this game is as much the journey as it is the destination depending on what youre looking for

sturdy mason
#

and mete sounds like "meet"?

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it possible to has the class of Damage and healer?

#

because i wanna use a different class but i don't wanna restart

sturdy mason
#

usually one E has a sharper, shorter sound. But it sounds like in old speak it's a long form E

tropic plover
#

If I get to level 70 in duty finder the game will still be locked if I don’t finish MSQ right?

jade quartz
#

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.

sturdy mason
#

Well thanks, you're super smart lol

tropic plover
#

What is a Levemete?

jade quartz
#

NPC who hands out leves

leaden ginkgo
#

Why does everyone play as a Neko or Rabbit girl?

sturdy mason
#

because waifu

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean i play as the rabbit girl but still

jade quartz
#

Which are mini-battle objectives or crafting/gathering item turnins

tropic plover
#

Oh those quests

#

The +4 in difficulty thing

jade quartz
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

When i get a job what's the best one to go for?

jade quartz
#

Because they’re basic Mithrax

small portal
#

theres no best job

jade quartz
#

Your job is a continuation of your class

leaden ginkgo
#

I see

small portal
#

as in

jade quartz
#

Lancer becomes dragoon, conjurer becomes white mage etc.

leaden ginkgo
#

Arcanist?

jade quartz
#

Ah

small portal
#

oh that job

leaden ginkgo
#

What does that become?

jade quartz
#

That’s the only one that splits into two

wintry chasm
#

^

small portal
#

arcanist becomes either Scholar or Summoner

wintry chasm
#

It becomes a DPS AND a healer

small portal
#

but you can become both

wintry chasm
#

Which level together

#

at the same time

small portal
#

^ this

jade quartz
#

It becomes both a dps job, summoner; and a healer job, scholar

wintry chasm
#

(but later use different gear)

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah that's great

jade quartz
#

Scholar, being a healer, will help you get faster dungeon queues

tropic plover
jade quartz
#

Y’shtola is a conjurer 👀

wintry chasm
#

The only downside to using both is the downside of gearing both jobs being a pain

leaden ginkgo
#

When do i unlock the Scholar and Summoner then?

wintry chasm
#

Also yes Y'shtola is a conjurer

small portal
#

limsa

#

arcanist guild

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh do i just need to complete the missions?

wintry chasm
#

Level 30 if you've done a level 20 MSQ quest called Sylph Management and done all your class quests

small portal
#

youll just be directed to where to unlock Summoner and Scholar there

jade quartz
#

At level 30 after finishing all your arcanist guild quests up to that level.

tropic plover
#

Oh... dang I thought my waifu was a healer...

wintry chasm
#

She is kinda

small portal
#

she is a healer

jade quartz
#

Conjurer is the pre-class to white mage.

leaden ginkgo
#

This is taking so long...

#

i need people to play with as a team

#

not just randoms

wintry chasm
#

also yeah you should ALWAYS do those class quests when you unlock them

#

It's rule number 1

tropic plover
#

Oh that makes sense now. I thought it was some unique class or something

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh

jade quartz
#

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

tropic plover
#

Yeah Class quests give you class skills + best weapon for that level + chest piece (worth more than the gold) for that level.

small portal
#

class quest unlocks you even more abilities

leaden ginkgo
#

because that's where i live

jade quartz
#

Ah your discord role says you’re on Crystal

#

Which is NA

leaden ginkgo
#

Does it unlock summon ll?

small portal
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh well i should go get that then

small portal
#

im assuming the titan summon

jade quartz
#

Yeah class quests and job quests should be considered mandatory.

tropic plover
#

I spent like 30 minutes queing for Sastasha as tank somehow today.

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm onto the quest "Into a Copper Hell" and it's so long in wait time

tropic plover
#

Apparently there are no healers in Light.

#

Oh the mines dungeon?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

jade quartz
#

Mithrax what server are you on?

tropic plover
#

It’s supercool, I like it better than the other 2 before it.

leaden ginkgo
#

How many are they after this msq dungeon?

#

Twintania

tropic plover
#

Isn’t that EU?

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh i found another DPS

#

Yeah

#

FINNALY

wintry chasm
#

Again Mithrax, for reasons like that rule number one of playing XIV is do your damn class and job quests xD

tropic plover
#

Oddly enough I play on Lich from Cali and suffer no ping.

leaden ginkgo

Yeah lol

Skills/gear/titles I guess

jade quartz

Ok Light datacenter then

#

are the job quest levels

jade quartz
#

Just letting you know, the datacentre role you have selected in this discord server is the wrong one

small portal
#

but youll get notified in your "next msq quest" screen

#

the little footnote under the next main scenario quest

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh i have a limit break bar

small portal
#

starting with a little exclamation mark

tropic plover
#

Oh oh oh and you get free EXP boost if you join a Free Company (guild).

small portal
#

is the next job quest you can do

versed stone
#

If I upgrade my game to the complete edition, I simply enter the code on the mog station page right?

wintry chasm
#

That's for the whole party @leaden ginkgo

jade quartz
#

Provided that FC puts the buff up @tropic plover

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah i see

wintry chasm
#

What the lb does depends on who uses it though

leaden ginkgo
#

no idea how to use it

wintry chasm
#

Caster is aoe damage, ranged is a straight line aoe, DPS is a massive single target attack, healer is..well obvious, tanks too

tropic plover
#

Oh... that makes sense now.

wintry chasm
#

Go to your action menu, then to general, then put limit break on your hotbar @leaden ginkgo

tropic plover
#

I was wondering how I only had 2 buffs from it

jade quartz
#

Action menu is P on keyboard by default

leaden ginkgo
#

Done

tropic plover
#

Warrior is super fun idk why we’re tanks though. You pull 8 mobs, pop 100% Crit, spam your cone AoE, and everything dead.

jade quartz
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright

jade quartz
#

You’ll need to place an orange circle on the ground with your mouse

tropic plover
#

I just see the arcanist in my part spam that icy ground spell constantly, probably does good damage.

jade quartz
#

Cover all the enemies with it

leaden ginkgo
#

There’s a priority on who gets to use LB though it’s kind of an unwritten rule.

jade quartz
#

Uh sounds like a thaumaturge/black mage Rin

#

And no it doesn’t do good damage haha

wintry chasm
#

lol

tropic plover
#

Oh... sorry Warrior brain 🧠 smol

#

Wait I’m not even a warrior

jade quartz
#

Yeah, caster or ranged on a large pack is the best use of LB most of the time in dungeons

tropic plover
#

Because MSQ TwT

jade quartz
#

Then melee LB on boss

leaden ginkgo
#

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

jade quartz
#

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.

tropic plover
#

What is LB?

jade quartz
#

Limit break

leaden ginkgo
#

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

tropic plover
#

Oh wow when do I get it?

jade quartz
#

Any time you’re in a party in a dungeon etc.

wintry chasm
#

LB is a thing in every party content. But the third level becomes a thing during 8-man content

tropic plover
#

It’s not locked behind MSQ right?

leaden ginkgo
#

No it’s tied to parties

jade quartz
#

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.

leaden ginkgo
#

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

jade quartz
#

As a tank, you will seldom use it. 99.9% of the time it is best reserved for the use of the DPS.

wintry chasm
#

Or an oh shit button for healers if the party fucks up before then

jade quartz
#

So don’t go hitting it willy-nilly as a tank

tropic plover
#

Kinda tempted, I panic a lot as tank.

jade quartz
#

Please don’t use it

leaden ginkgo
#

You are likely gonna trigger your teammates if you do keep in mind

jade quartz
#

It’s not very effective anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

Like i said it’s kind of an unwritten rule

jade quartz
#

If you do use it you are likely to be reprimanded, yelled at and in some cases maybe kicked

tropic plover
#

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.

jade quartz
#

Dpsing optimally can be harder work

fresh lodge
#

Tank LB is basically useless unless its LB3

#

And even then you don't need it often

tropic plover
#

Tank damage is pretty nice though. Maybe I should just stay War and be offtank that never really ranks.

leaden ginkgo
#

Which LB3 is the annoying one that covers the entire floor with a bright light?

green grail
#

a lot of them are annoying but RDM's is the worst probably

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah yes

green grail
#

cause it puts a filter on your screen so you can't even look away to dodge it

leaden ginkgo
#

Someone used it at last boss of nier raid and almost wiped us all

green grail
#

but all casters and healers are super flashy

small portal
#

AST is also a bad offender

#

it covers the ground

#

and the aoe markers

leaden ginkgo
#

Thing is with that it’s usually that most of the party is dead anyway

#

But bad timing can screw up any LB

green grail
#

just dodge the aoes concernedfroge

#

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

rare sable
#

Me(rdm) at e2 with my fc mate; "should I lb?"
My guild leader; "lol, if camp lb, we all die"

jade quartz
#

Whoa final heaven actually moves your position?

green grail
#

ye

#

drg too if you're out of melee range, I think

wintry chasm
#

Wait wha?

green grail
#

but monk like, goes in in

jade quartz
#

Gonna needa verify this

green grail
#

had e3s wipes on smokers cause monk LB, inside Levi target ring, dashed the monk off the edge

leaden ginkgo
#

Pretty sure drg needs to be in mrange to begin with

jade quartz
#

DRG can’t do it from out of melee reach

green grail
#

mm maybe

#

but mnk definitely moves you

glad pewter
#

Is there any good lv 60 weapon i can get "for free" like ironworks in lv 50?

green grail
#

shire gear in idyllshire

fresh lodge
#

Yes, the Shire weapon from Iydlshire

jade quartz
#

I can’t find anything verifying MNK LB3 moving you

glad pewter
#

Dont think I got there yet, probably still have to advance on MSQ

fresh lodge
#

Most likely, though if you haven't reached there yet, then you don't need the weapon

glad pewter
#

I'm probably overleveld from duties

jade quartz
#

I’d expect your monk was making different mistakes

sturdy mason
green grail
#

you can fly there

#

probably

jade quartz
#

Vis is right

#

Found a vid of the LB from the monk’s player perspective and the camera follows the movement

leaden ginkgo
sturdy mason
#

Do glamour prisms have to be in your inventory to use them at the Inn?

fresh lodge
#

Yes

jade quartz
green grail
#

I know my dumb wipe suspects, happened too many times concernedfroge

sturdy mason
#

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

green grail
#

you can still get the end loot from nier like minion music glam coffer

sturdy mason
#

glam coffer?

green grail
#

and some roulettes adventurer in need gives you materia 7 and 8

sturdy mason
#

oh u mean the 2B outfit

green grail
#

yeah the 2b costume

#

but beyond that not really

sturdy mason
#

I've been spending time leveling fieldcraft jobs

green grail
#

do some extremes, level crafters yeah

sturdy mason
#

are there any end game trials worth doing?

#

or u mean extreme roulette?

wintry chasm
#

I mean...Hades gives 365 weapons

#

There is no extreme roulettes

green grail
#

or just for mounts, or rare mats to sell/make bardings etc

wintry chasm
#

^

sturdy mason
#

oh I meant expert, I got confused

wintry chasm
#

Or in the case of Hades a 365 weapon

#

Hades is also just an amazing fight

#

It's feels good to do

sturdy mason
#

hades scares me

green grail
#

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

sturdy mason
#

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?

gritty oracle
#

Question about game files. Are UI settings, keybinds etc stored in FFXIV_CHR(a bunch of numbers)?

wintry chasm
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

i wonder if that could fix my bluescreen issues

plucky crow

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?

green grail
#

there's fieldcraft gear vendors in every city's general vendor/marketboard area

#

can get one there for like 50 gil probably

plucky crow
#

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

green grail

it's an offhand, so in a different armory chest section than weapons

The new Hildibrand story almost always starts in x.2 right? (I am starting to miss him! 😂)

green grail
#

they haven't mentioned anything about new hildibrand in the 5.2 liveletter

#

as far as I know at least

next steppe
#

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?

open coral
#

Might just be you

next steppe
#

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

open coral
#

I’ve seen that happen from time to time as well, but it generally corrects itself

#

Were you in an instance?

next steppe
#

ah no, just open world stuff~

open coral
#

Hmm. The instance servers will sometimes lag if they get overloaded, but the overworld is typically fine

opal turret
#

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. pumpheart

next steppe
#

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.

opal turret
#

Alright, cool, thanks! I was thinking I'd spam the name generator until something looked satisfying.

next steppe
#

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 :)

leaden ginkgo
#

I've been looking deep into the 1.0 lore

Is there a quest that locks desynthing things?

#

Thx

#

Aaaah I need a lvl 30 doh

mild knoll
#

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?

remote sage
#

Is there a consistent ways to get allied seals?

mild knoll
#

For that, I do blu stuff

remote sage
#

uhh

#

How do you get them as blue mage lol?

open coral
#

By doing the Blue Mage log

remote basin
#

Speaking of desynthing things if I'm leveling crafting is it better to sell back things I'm making or desynth them

wintry chasm
#

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

mild knoll
#

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

wintry chasm
#

?

mild knoll
#

it's the doman iron glaives

#

but they're gold instead of black, like the coven ones base are

wintry chasm
#

The Lakeland glaive has the same model

#

Still not dyeable but maybe darker?

sturdy mason
#

are these pretty normal percentages for botanist levequests after using Leaf Turn?

#

Takes quite a bit of time to grind 20 HQ

mild knoll
#

ah, you're right!

#

the darker will help

wintry chasm
#

Floating around 80 is pretty normal without buffs

sturdy mason
#

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

wintry chasm
#

12% base chance of HQ isn't bad either assuming you ONLY did leaf turn

#

Max you can get without buffs is 15%

sturdy mason
#

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

tender pelican
#

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

wintry chasm
#

Put on grit

#

It's your tank stance

#

Is this by chance your first tank job?

tender pelican
#

Alright thanks, haven’t played since February and forgot everything about Tanking

#

And yes DK is the only tank I’ve played

wintry chasm
#

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

sturdy mason
#

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

tender pelican
#

Not looking forward to doing dungeons since I have to relearn DK

narrow glacier
#

No it's automatically applied when you switch to a gatherer now

wintry chasm
#

Yeah keep it on

sturdy mason
#

Oh ok because buffs like Sneak and Preparation do not stay activated when I switch jobs, only the map one does

remote basin
#

Lol quick synth get now to just watch YouTube while I mill 500 ingots

wintry chasm
#

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

sturdy mason
#

How long is a moment?

narrow glacier
#

Well, it's server ticks, so usually about 3 seconds at most

wintry chasm
#

Pfft uhhh

#

Yeah maybe a bit longer it feels like

#

5 tops?

sturdy mason
#

I can see that mattering if you're passing by like, on the very edge of that range or something

narrow glacier
#

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

sturdy mason
#

that seems like a bug

tough wolf
#

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)?

narrow glacier
#

It's been reported before, but haven't seen anything on it

wintry chasm
#

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

tough wolf
#

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?

crimson trail
#

Whats a the best place to farm Potash? (I know I can buy it, but I rather farm some first)

rich bay
#

@crimson trail

Level 50 hard dungeons.

narrow glacier
#

Some hard mode dungeons + lost city of Amdapor and Hullbreaker island drop it

crimson trail
#

Thank you!@rich bay

narrow glacier
#

You can also convert the gear you get to GC seals to purchase them that way as well

crimson trail
#

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

narrow glacier
#

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.

sturdy mason
#

oh my god how do I do level 50 pacification levequests as a level 80 WHM? My Dia 1 shots everything

narrow glacier
#

Auto attacks

sturdy mason
#

that takes like 5 minutes

#

Use a level 1 weapon?

narrow glacier

and never use a DoT on pacification

junior yacht
#

just get naked my dude

narrow glacier
#

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.

sturdy mason
#

getting naked worked thanks

junior yacht
open coral
#

@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)

whole wasp
#

Most jobs have DoTs that should be up as much as possible so its not SMN specific.

#

DNC has no DoTs tho.

open coral
#

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

narrow glacier
#

Uh..

open coral
#

I don’t think

whole wasp
#

Sch has bio. Ast has male something

narrow glacier
#

All healers have dots

whole wasp
#

Mch had wildfire

#

War has no dot too i think

open coral
#

Wildfire isn’t a dot anymore

#

It’s a timed damage skill with a long cd

whole wasp
#

Neat. So two ranged physical and warrior.

open coral
#

And I thought they removed Bio from SCH

narrow glacier
#

SCH had 2 dots, they have one now

open coral
#

Ahh

whole wasp
#

Yup they combined bio and miasma into biolysis

open coral
#

I didn’t list any tanks or melee because I haven’t really played any of those jobs

narrow glacier
#

Well, even more atually

#

They had Shadowflare too, as well as Miasma III

open coral
#

Does MNK have a dot?

narrow glacier
#

Demolish

junior yacht
#

To my knowledge Wildfire was never a DoT

open coral
#

It was before ShB

whole wasp
#

Yup demolish

narrow glacier
#

All the melee have DoTs

junior yacht
#

No, it wasn't

#

It did the same thing it does now, building up damage based on doing other attacks

whole wasp
#

It took a dot slot but yes it explodes at once

narrow glacier
#

SAM has a Banana DoT sen spender
MNK has Demolish
DRG has Chaos Thrust
NIN has shadow fang as well as their Doton puddle

open coral
#

Banana dot?

whole wasp
#

Banana moon sen

#

The crescent moon

open coral
#

Lol

obsidian patio
#

Higanbana

junior yacht
#

Higanbana

#

The specific sen used doesn't matter

open coral
#

My only SAM is level 51

junior yacht
#

it's just the one-sen skill

open coral
#

Haven’t gotten that far

obsidian patio
#

You already got it.

open coral
#

Really?

junior yacht
#

you start with all three Iaijutsu available at 50

obsidian patio
#

!action iajutsu

zinc orbitBOT

**Iaijutsu** : lvl 30 SAM (2.5 second cooldown)

Oh

That’s why I didn’t notice it

Higanbana is amazing. 60 second DoT

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a log or a section in this game where I can read up on 1.0 lore?

open coral
#

In game?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

open coral
#

I don’t think so

obsidian patio
leaden ginkgo
#

I'll check it out

open coral
#

1.0 was a separate game for all intents and purposes

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

narrow glacier
#

If you search youtube there's some videos with 1.0 cutscenes if you're really that interested

leaden ginkgo
#

I found one

narrow glacier
#

Coil also picks up on what happened around the ARR trailer (aka the final cutscene of 1.0)

leaden ginkgo
#

But it doesn't have every cutscene

sturdy mason
#

how do I acquire tomes of folklore?

narrow glacier
#

Those are yellow scrip, and specific vendors depending on what tier you're in

#

or what expansion more specifically

sturdy mason
#

I just got introduced to them with in-game tutorial, I'm level 50 BTN

narrow glacier
#

There isn't one for ARR. You start getting them in Heavensward if you've unlocked Iddylshire

sturdy mason
#

Yeah I finished all the way up to 5.1

narrow glacier
#

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

tough wolf
narrow glacier
#

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

green grail
#

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

pine gorge
#

Do i still get to open the chest at the end if i run a trial unsynced solo or are rewards limited?

green grail
#

you get the same stuff synced and unsynced

open coral
#

You still get the chest

pine gorge
#

ok ty

tough wolf
#

@green grail thanks.

low ginkgo
#

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

green grail
#

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

whole wasp
#

What about verraise? :p

low ginkgo
#

Not levelled RDM yet :3

proud monolith
#

Is fishing worth leveling?

green grail
#

depends on your definition of worth

proud monolith
#

Will it provide any benefits that i will not get from other gathering classes

green grail
#

sometimes the best raid food is fish so having a Fisher at level cap and making tons of raid food to sell is profitable

proud monolith
#

and be worth the time investment

green grail
#

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

proud monolith
#

Alright, im going to level fishing i guess

#

hopefully it will be worth the time investment

green grail
#

you can get by on basically all crafters without Fisher, except culinarian

proud monolith
#

How long does it take to level all the crafters?

green grail
#

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

proud monolith
#

I heard the ishgardian restoration xp is pretty good

sturdy mason
#

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?

green grail
#

mm probably, but that's just for crafters atm I think?

#

crafting mentors when

#

@obsidian patio unofficial crafting mentor

proud monolith
#

Activate Truth of Forests

sturdy mason
#

I did that

proud monolith
#

if it spawns ingame, it will show on your minimap

#

the direction

raven sage
#

It will only be around for about 2 hours I think

sturdy mason
#

I made a big circle around the whole map

raven sage
#

So you've really gotta catch it

proud monolith
#

You are looking at the top-right minimap compass thing right?

sturdy mason
#

yeah

#

how do I see the in game clock?

proud monolith
#

and in eorzia time?

#

you click the timer

raven sage
#

It's not 9am btw

proud monolith
#

on the top right

#

it will change between ET LT and ST

raven sage
#

It's only 1 right now

sturdy mason
#

oh nice

proud monolith
#

ET is eorzia, LT is local time, ST is server time

open coral
#

You can also set it to show all three without clicking

sturdy mason
#

so between 9-11AM ET

raven sage
#

Yeah

proud monolith
#

i think for that quest

#

it doesnt matter if it's AM or PM

sturdy mason
#

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

proud monolith
#

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

strong comet
#

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?

hardy tiger
#

hey guys anyone know how to change classes to dark knight?

raven sage
#

@strong comet no

#

@hardy tiger Do the unlock quest in ishgard then put on your weapon

strong comet
#

thanks!

remote basin
#

The ishgard crafting fates are over, correct?

strong comet
#

this phase, yes

#

you can still craft and earn tokens for the stuff thou

#

skybuilder's scrips

remote basin
#

Got it. So I can spam the crafts for scripts and xp

strong comet
#

yep

#

and you can go to the firmanent straight from the foundation aetheryte, dont have to run to the gate like during the fates

remote basin
#

The gathering nodes are just in normal ishgard right?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

remote basin
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

Define same thing

remote basin
#

Make the lvl 20 recipe until lvl 40, then make that one, etc

wintry chasm
#

Oh sure

#

But they'd use different mats of course

remote basin
#

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.

grave belfry
#

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?

wintry chasm
#

Have you done the crystal tower 24-man raid from the base game yet?

grave belfry
#

Yes I did once to unlock alliance raid while I were on hw

wintry chasm
#

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

rose rose
#

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

obsidian patio
#

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

grave belfry
#

Thanks then im on good road to shb

hardy tiger
#

hi everyone Im currently a lancer and would like to switch to paladin

#

any idea on how to do that

slate arrow
#

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 bluequest at the gladiator's guild

hardy tiger
#

yeah im level 23

#

ok so I go to uldah and equip a gladiator weapon and join the guild?

wintry chasm
#

Other way around

#

join the guild

#

unlock the class (and it gives you a sword)

#

equip sword

river skiff
#

Hey folks

hardy tiger
#

oh ok thanks

river skiff
#

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?

slate arrow
#

ffxiv is Mogstation so log into Mogstation and see which PSN account is tied to it

hardy tiger
#

I read somewhere that u need conjurer for paladin

#

is that still rue

hoary storm
#

U dont

hardy tiger
#

oh ok great

hoary storm
#

Gladiator is the one who becomes Paladin

#

At lv 30

river skiff
#

That wouldn't work

#

As previously mentioned the email has no SEID associated with it

tame bane
#

Where is the best place to buy game time?

slate arrow
#

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

hardy tiger
#

best way to level from 1-15?

#

im trying to get to 15 for gladiator so I can do dungeons

hoary storm
#

U can buy time with steam wallet as well

wintry chasm
#

What no

green grail
#

hunting log, challenge log, guildhests

wintry chasm
#

MSQ > hunting log yeah

hardy tiger
#

msq?

wintry chasm
#

main story

#

But I assume you can't do that xD

hardy tiger
#

no I cannot

#

im a lvl 23 lancer

#

but I hate lancer lul

slate arrow
#

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

green grail
#

all jobs are pretty bad at low levels

slate arrow
#

not great but

#

Decent

hardy tiger
#

watsa guildhest xd

green grail
#

40+ is where you can kinda start seeing the endgame rotation basics

slate arrow
#

Guildhests are basically tutorial trials

#

you sign up for them is one of the first outposts or something I don't remember

hardy tiger
#

no clue how to sign up lmao

#

never done one

gritty oracle
#

When would one ever really use a phoenix down?

slate arrow
#

palace of the dead

gritty oracle
#

Ah

slate arrow
#

otherwise they're useless

gritty oracle
#

Makes sense

green grail
#

or eureka

hardy tiger
#

so how do I queue up for these guildhests?

slate arrow
#

You queue for them just like a dungeon

#

They have their own tab

hardy tiger
#

is it under duty finder?

raven sage
#

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

wide forum
#

Can anyone help me with satasha?

hardy tiger
#

hm I dont see anything

raven sage
#

Have you unlocked leves?

hardy tiger
#

i believe so

#

but I did that in gridania

#

and now im in uldna

raven sage
#

idk if that would matter

#

if so then go back to central shroud

hardy tiger
#

so duty-duty finder

raven sage
#

there should be an unlock quest in brentbranch

hardy tiger
#

leves of bentbranch?

raven sage
#

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

hardy tiger
#

so I do that quest and then I can do guildhests

green grail
#

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

hardy tiger
#

oh ok

Nope

tame bane
#

@slate arrow thanks mate. I guess I will buy one month at a time.

thorny orbit
#

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?

serene elbow
#

#

languid kernel
#

thanks it worked as you said

#

it got reset to the base item

sharp cargo
#

Where can i use allagan tomestones

languid kernel
#

main scenario daily gives a lot

#

i just saw that some of my skills are missing even though i already have a higher level one, why is that?

green grail
#

they're from job quests, which are locked behind reaching heavensward msq

silver lintel
#

how do you start ishgard reconstruction?

#

what were the requirements

little swift
#

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!

Mounts FAQ
Info

'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.

wintry chasm
#

@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

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhhhh, makes sense thanks. is there a way to tell before i buy the materia lol

wintry chasm
#

It should say on the materia

#

at the bottom or so

leaden ginkgo
#

oh you're right, wow, it was right in front of my face KEKW

solemn vine
#

i cant find anyone to sell me a Chocobo Issuance

slate arrow
#

you have to buy them with seals at your Grand Company

#

If you haven't joined a grand company yet do your msq

solemn vine
#

i have, im in the flame guild

wintry chasm
#

The quartermaster

#

and then the far right tab

#

if not that tab the one to the left of it

solemn vine
#

oh thx found it

lost zenith
#

Does the

#

road to 70 buff ever go away?

green grail
#

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

lost zenith
#

oh then I have plenty of time

#

Was wondering if it went away when I hit 70 on one class

green grail
#

nope, it's active on all your jobs below 70

#

even after reaching 70 on one or multiple jobs

lost zenith
#

Okay thanks fishy 🙂

little swift
#

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

green grail
#

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

mortal root
green grail
#

looks like one of the mogstation sets

#

the one with no sleeves and a dress

mortal root
#

👍🏾

green grail
#

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

dull minnow
#

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?

green grail
#

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

little swift
#

@green grail thanks we found our own little short loop and finished it :^)

wintry chasm
#

@dull minnow. 6 years old. Realm reborn came out in 2013

dull minnow
#

@green grail will I need a buy a new DLC soon? Or is there no DLC coming out soon?

dusky nest
#

Next one will be in 2021

dull minnow
#

Oh really

dusky nest
#

So far they have releases every 2 years

dull minnow
#

I play WoW, and BDO

#

BDO learning curve is not friendly

#

How is this games learning curve

dusky nest
#

FFXIV is really easy but also much slower

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

dull minnow
#

Slower? How

wintry chasm
#

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

dusky nest
#

For most jobs it picks up at around lvl 45+

#

Which is easy to reach

/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
