where can i buy level 50-60 gathering accessories

shell dagger
#

How does one get level 60 tomestone crafting gear? Does it automatically unlock when you hit Stormblood?

obsidian patio
#

Nowhere, leyenn. :/

#

Level 60 crafting scrip gear is in Idyllshire after completing a quest in Mor Dhona

shell dagger
#

Bahhhhhh idk where that is, so that means I haven't unlocked it yet

#

😭

raven sage
#

@finite bane the envoy quests are level 15 so if you aren't that level you can't do it

obsidian patio
#

It’s at level 57-58 in the Heavensward story

shell dagger
#

Yeah I'm only at level 55 storyline but my craft jobs are at 59 and my warrior is at 62

#

#

Thanks for the quick answer tho!

is there no fishing supplier in Limsa next to the fishers guild?

#

need to buy bait

narrow glacier
#

Bait is usually sold in the markets of each major city as well as housing districts

#

There is some bait (lures in particular) that you need to craft though

sturdy mason
#

lures are offhand for fishers?

#

oh nvm it had an ilvl so I thought it was equippable

hardy tiger
#

uhh anyone know how to transfer non steam trial to steam full game?

small portal
#

cant

hardy tiger
#

wait really

#

I just looked up a reddit thread saying you could

#

was it changed?

small portal
#

i might be wrong

#

my bad

narrow glacier
#

There's 3 types of fishing bait:

  1. Disposable bait - Cheap but once you use it it's gone. Shorter time to fish hook in general.
  2. Lure bait - Slightly more expensive but you can use it as much as you want. Longer time to fish hook in general. Has a potential to be lost by line break if you don't reel in fish enough.
  3. Mooch - Using another fish as bait. This is common to catch rare/king fish. Fish must be HQ to use as mooch unless Mooch II is available and off cooldown. Time to hook varies with target fish.

@small portal it is possible I just figuredo ut how

lost sinew
#

what’s the explanation for increased health when you join a party...?

narrow glacier
#

You get stats bonuses depending on party composition

lost sinew
#

interesting

dull minnow
#

boys and girls

#

I got the game now!!!!

lost sinew
#

not reflected in UI anywhere?

#

as a buff or something?

narrow glacier
#

iirc should be in your party menu (O by default on PC) assuming you're in a party

lost sinew
#

aha

dull minnow
#

what lvl do you get a mount at?

narrow glacier
#

The more diverse your party is, the more bonus you get overall

sturdy mason
#

what DoH job can make fishing lures/bait?

narrow glacier
#

Culinarian can make some disposable baits. Goldsmith for lures.

#

There are some bait/lures you can get from vendors only though

sturdy mason
#

lures aren't disposable?

narrow glacier
#

If you reel in all the fish with it there won't be an issue, but if you let too many fish get away it has a chance to line break and you lose your lure.

sturdy mason
#

so my plan was to level all 3 DoL jobs, then work on the DoH jobs. But does it make sense to get either Cul or GSM up to 50 first and then do fishing? So far I have miner and botanist to 50

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.

narrow glacier
#

Fishing doesn't get a lot of use outside of CUL. There's some random alchemy and goldsmith recipes that might use it but it's not as important as botanist / miner in terms of overall crafter supplies

sturdy mason
#

Reason I ask about that is because there is limited bait/lures on the MB, and they are very expensive in big stacks

jade quartz
#

Go to NPC vendors

sturdy mason
#

When I asked earlier someone said to get on MB

narrow glacier
#

Most bait you can purchase through vendors, though there are a few which are crafted only

sturdy mason
#

I couldn't find a fishing supplier in the FSH guild

jade quartz
#

MB probably has dumb mark-ups

sturdy mason
#

yes it does

jade quartz
#

In the main marketplace

narrow glacier
#

You just have to google around really. Who sells bait will vary widely on what bait it is.

sturdy mason
#

fieldcraft vendor?

#

@narrow glacier Regarding your comment from earlier: Are you implying that FSH isn't worth the investment and I should go to leveling DoH jobs?

jade quartz
#

FSH is kinda for completionists who like filling out all the difficult catches

#

And for some valued catches.

narrow glacier
#

There's quite a few high level CUL recipes which require fish

jade quartz
#

It’s very fast to level though

#

Can just sit and catch

narrow glacier
#

Fishing is also less consistent than botanist and miner when you get to scrip gathering

sturdy mason
#

what is scrip gathering?

narrow glacier
#

Not something you have to worry about quite yet unless you have a gatherer/crafter at 50

sturdy mason
#

I do but I was going to get all 11 jobs up to level 50, then do them all to level 60, etc

dull minnow
#

wow

#

all 11

sturdy mason
#

why not? it's fun

dull minnow
#

do you have a job? lol

dull minnow

hahah

narrow glacier
#

As far as leveling DoH/DoL it's a good idea to focus on MSQ first and getting as far as possible in it

hardy tiger
#

is fishing viable to make money?

sturdy mason
#

I beat everything

obsidian patio
#

Fishing really only makes money in the endgame

#

And only if the good foods of the current endgame have fish in their recipe

hardy tiger
#

😦

narrow glacier
#

You can make money off sands from predator reduction

#

Also leve fish for folks who want to take the lazy way out

sturdy mason
#

well I'm going to see if fishing is as fast to level as BTN

narrow glacier
#

Well one thing with fishing is that you have specific fish you can turn in from levequests. Those you can find on the marketboard if you have the gil and really want to go the fast route. Botanist and Miner levelquests on the other hand require you to gather non-tradable items from levequest specific nodes and as such you can't really buy your way though it (save the job quest turn-in items maybe).

sturdy mason
#

oh nice I may cheat then

narrow glacier
#

be aware leve fish can get pretty expensive

shell dagger
obsidian patio
#

Not anymore

#

You can now have all crafters get max desynth level

shell dagger
#

Oh. I don't really understand desynthesis because it's points based

narrow glacier
#

That's outdated as desynth is 100% success rate now

shell dagger
#

Ohh

#

For everything?

narrow glacier
#

Yup

#

They pretty much revamped desynth with shadowbringers

shell dagger
#

Then why do people say "desynthesize everything!"? Is there a special perk for levelling all the crafting desynthesize jobs?

narrow glacier
#

Each time you desynth something you get a certain amount of experience. If this value is over the recommended level you have a chance to get rarer items back (or HQ instead of NQ)

shell dagger
#

That's it?!

rich bay
#

Not really, only useful when you want or need specific items. You can't make money out of it.

obsidian patio
#

Desynth can be very good money if you go for stuff like primal materials

shell dagger
#

I suppose higher items get higher returns?

#

Ahhh, I see...

rich bay
#

Yes, only primal materials is the only one.

narrow glacier
#

You can sell intermediates you get from desynth

shell dagger
#

How do you find out if an item is over a certain recommended level? I notice that when you desynthesize stuff, the number is sometimes orange and sometimes not

narrow glacier
#

Orange means you're over the recommended desynth level, ie. increases the probability of rare items back

#

Non-orange means you're under the recommended level

shell dagger
#

(was this all in the in game help guide lol, am I asking really dumb questions 🤦🏻‍♀️)

#

Ohh so non-orange is riskier

#

But you get more points?

rose rose
#

When am I able to clear taking the fall (machinist lv 58 quest)
It's in the sea of clouds, but it's on the opposite side that's available to me, and I wanted to know if anyone knows the story quest that let's me go to it

obsidian patio
#

There’s no risk anymore

narrow glacier
#

Well, it's 100% all the same you're just not going to get stuff back like HQ versions of mats or a higher chance at rarer mats.

obsidian patio
#

@rose rose story will take you to the north half of the zone

#

Around level 57-58

rose rose
#

Bless

#

I just want my drill

oak ice
#

Trial at 57 on the north side, so it should be available by then

rose rose
shell dagger
#

Ohhh I see I see. Hmm. Sounds like a dumb feature, but I guess its good to clean up inventory

#

Thanks again!! 🙏🏻

narrow glacier
#

Desynth can help you get back some mats if you crafted the items, or help you stockpile some rarer mats as well

#

Which is nice if you plan to level crafters at somepoint

shell dagger
#

Yeah! Noticed the other day that I'm getting mythril ingots back

narrow glacier
#

Especially anything where you might get leather back (which requires mob drops which can be annoying depending on what mob it is)

shell dagger
#

I am!!! I like crafting more than tanking/battling atm 😂😑

narrow glacier
#

or things like hallowed lumber which are multi-tier crafts

shell dagger
#

I hear you can send out your retainer to grind out leathers/skins for you

#

Instead of just mining

oak ice
#

That likely requires leveling them up as a combat job

#

Well, not likely, it does require that

shell dagger
#

That's fine. Don't mind leveling up my retainer as a combat job... As long as I don't have to do it myself lol

crystal bluff
#

i just got the full game, should i continue with just following the main story?

oak ice
#

Yes, MSQ and your job quests are the most important

shell dagger
#

Yes!! Do it bro.

@rose rose

Ask a player with a multiseat mount if they can fly you there, that is an option.

shell dagger
#

^ that's clever

rose rose
#

Ooh

#

I'd have to likely be lucky for someone with one to come around though

main plaza
#

how do i find a big cc with 24/7 buffs to join?

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm try looking up FC rankings for your server on Lodestone. They're ranked based on activity and I'd assume the high ranked ones have FC buffs up often.

main plaza
#

thanks, i didnt know that was a thing

#

how do i apply to one of these?

wintry chasm
#

Find a member in game and go to their free company profile and apply

#

The game doesn't have a great system for picking an FC I must admit

main plaza
#

is there a way to find people without having to add to friends lsit?

jade quartz
#

The starting city-states, especially Limsa, are your best bet for finding people.

wintry chasm
#

under...social tab there should be a player search option

jade quartz
#

^

wintry chasm
#

But it won't find people offline or in content like dungeons or raids

jade quartz
#

Search some names from the company’s lodestone page

wintry chasm
#

^

main plaza
#

cool

#

i will try that

wintry chasm
#

Oh um

#

Worth mentioning that if they are visiting another server they won't appear on the player search either

noble sage
#

I hate to ask this same question again but can anyone help with a problem ive been having: "I tried updating the game and the update had failed and the game would not let me launch. It would crash after flashing final fantasy 14. I could not even log in. So I tried removing every single trace of final fantasy and re-installing and it still is doing it."

Depends on what datacentre you are, i sometimes offer a taxi there with one of my 5 multiseat mounts.

I'm on crystal

rich bay
#

Maybe someone on that DC can help her? (I am on Light myself.)

sturdy mason
#

do stats, gear, positioning, level, etc have any effect on how long it takes a fish to bite, and what reeling animation (quick, long) happens?

#

Or is it all just random?

green grail
#

it depends on the fish

sturdy mason
#

what does? reeling or wait time for the bite or both?

green grail
#

both

@raw kelp if you already used the code it’s too late

ouch, does SE support help out on those requests? like returning the code?

can you add a friend to housing perms in an fc house without adding them ot the fc?

#

No clue @raw kelp I would suggest writing a ticket

I haven't heard support helping because they tend to work on a non-refundable principle when it comes to codes

Can I still get 100 points at the Fashion thing in golden saucer or was that only for Friday?

#

Someone can prove me wrong, I'd love to see it but yeah I really haven't heard anyone getting a refund or anything

You just need to hit 100 points

Oh okay so it ends on reset?

Not sure about your timezone but for me it's 8AM Tuesday

But yeah

I just wasn’t sure how it worked or if the theme was still masquerade until reset xD

I saw a video for this week but wasn’t sure never done it before but I want the title :x

It's the same Friday -> Tuesday

Just changes every week

#

Ahh okay tysm ❤️

#

alright thank you. ill try with a ticket but if not then i guess ill just subscribe 🙂

wintry chasm
#

mmm

sturdy mason
#

Does releasing make fishing faster when you want only a specific type?

little swift
#

Releasing will auto release that fish when you catch it on a given session

sturdy mason
#

I get that, but what's the point?

little swift
#

So sorta?

raw solstice
#

it's a bit slower than manually doing it, but it lets you be lazy

little swift
#

It means it doesn't clog inventory

glad pewter
#

Improved shire gear keeps materia?

sturdy mason
#

active help talks about preserving the ecosystem or whatever, but that's crap because this is procedurally generated objects in software

#

So I don't know the real point

raw solstice
#

augmenting any gear, including shire gear in this case, does not carry over materia

#

you have to right click -> retrieve materia

#

before you augment

glad pewter
#

Oh okay

raw solstice
#

but yeah release is just for being lazy/if you don't want fish that you don't want clogging up your inventory

wide umbra
#

How to sell stuff at the market board?

raw solstice
#

speed-wise it's better to just catch it and move on

sturdy mason
#

the being lazy part, when I catch a fish it didn't require any extra steps. Are you saying lazy because I don't have to clear my inventory later?

Retainer Guide
Info

What is a retainer?

A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world., Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer

First you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the retainer vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?

Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you, and can be unlocked by completing the quest An Ill-conceived Venture (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

raw solstice

you use a retainer to sell items on the marketboard^

if im ~lvl 20 for all doh/l classes should i bother doing ||ixal|| if i just want xp? or for that matter should i do any beast tribe quests at all and instead just do ishgard restoration at lvl 30?

obsidian patio
#

Head/gloves/boots want 2, and chest/legs want 4

spice vapor
#

i got a belt then yea!

#

thanks

raw solstice
#

@sturdy mason kinda yeah. Though realistically if you're going for a specific fish and you know the timing/tug of the fish you just ignore ones you don't need and let it go, which is the fastest. Takes a bit more attention but means that you only get the ones you need and don't have to go through the hooking animation.

i never done hard or expert roulette since all previus exp i never unlocked all of them, but this has only 3 maybe i can manage

The two lvl80 story dungeons, Twinning (in the crystarium), and Akadaemia (in Eulmore)

is an harder version of the same , or the dungeon itself is just harder

@main plaza People say hunting logs + class quests

#

Are Chrystarium deliveries on allowances like custom deliveries?

main plaza
#

mm hunting logs feel so slow though

sturdy mason
#

You do Cast -> Hook -> Mooch right?

spice vapor
#

what do i do with achievement currency?

obsidian patio
#

@ebon kindle crystarium doesn’t have allowances.

#

You can only do a limited number of them since they’re basically the class quests for the crafters and gatherers

sturdy mason
#

ok this fishing levequest is too hard. I must be doing something wrong

obsidian patio
#

@spice vapor buy items from Jonathas in Old Gridania

ebon kindle
#

But I can just like do them until they're done without waiting weeks between yea? Just with all the comparisons in conversations I've seen to custom deliveries I was concerned

obsidian patio
#

You can do them all at once if you mean that

sturdy mason
#

Supposed to get a Black Ghost. I'm at 27-21 in South Shroud. Using Bass Ball bait to try to get HQ Ala Mhigan Fighting Fish

#

is that right?

#

the crystarium deliveries are effectively your class quests for 70-80

Sweet

sturdy mason
#

getting a boat load of Dark Bass but only saw 1 Ala Mhigan Fighting Fish in like 20+ minutes

languid kernel
#

any idea what play system sounds while waiting for duty finder does

raw solstice
#

what fishing hole are you at, and what bait are you using?

#

well I guess moreso, what level are you at? Looks like there's a level 30 fishing hole in central shroud where it's 100% catch rate with midge basket

#

oh you said that stuff just above, lemme look real quick

tropic plover
#

I finally became a warrior, got my choccobo, and look swag AF 😋! Now 40 more levels to grind 😭.

raw solstice
#

ok yeah, goblinblood fishing hole in south shroud, using midge basket the only fish that bites is the ala mhigan fighting fish. Mooching that, the only fish that bites is the one you're looking for @sturdy mason

#

it's similar in Hopeseed Pond fishing hole in Central Shroud but it's not guaranteed like it is in that other fishing hole

hoary storm
#

is there a place where i can look up the optimal SS for each job?

raw solstice
#

black ghost only shows up in those two fishing holes

#

generally you'll want to check job by job over in the balance discord server. Though most go for pretty minimal speed, of course

#

@languid kernel the sound that the game makes when a queue pops/cancels out is considered a "system sound", so I guess selecting that setting has system sounds play when those happen specifically? I don't recall that setting in particular offhand

WHM stat priority? Crit>det or?

@raw solstice I'm level 27, this is a level 25 levequest

#

ok, will check that one out

sturdy mason
#

So on GamerEscape, it shows Bass Ball in the list of bait under that fishing hole:

raw solstice
#

yes, you can catch it with that bait

#

but it's not even odds for all baits

sturdy mason
#

well shit, why aren't they showing a percentage 😦

jade quartz

Because it's all hidden from the player and hard to test for

#

Cat became hungry ^ is our best source

#

mmhmm, best you can do is go with compiled information, which is what that site is

jade quartz
#

though it leaves much to be desired as a site tbh

raw solstice
#

yeah it's not the greatest, but you can find the info you're looking for in the end

#

just can take a bit of work

dull minnow
#

so when does the game get fun

#

im lvl 6

jade quartz
#

👀 loaded question ngl

queen merlin
#

early levels were boring as hell for my part...

#

but to each their own

stray saffron
#

first time i was like "oh this is fucking dope" was the first trial around level 20

jade quartz
#

Jobs at low levels are pretty empty of skills to use, and the story at first is slower worldbuilding

dull minnow
#

I feel nothing for this game yet other than being bored a lot

stray saffron
#

level 6 is like the first couple hours

wintry chasm
#

couple hours?

stray saffron
#

you're gonna need a lot more patience than that to stick with this game

wintry chasm
#

Less than an hour

queen merlin
#

I would actually recommend a skip

#

there are just too few skills early game

stray saffron
#

JRPGs and MMOs don't give you huge shots of adrenaline right off the bat, they take their time showing you around and teaching you to play

sturdy mason
#

@raw solstice I don't know how to read this site. What tells me which bait/lure is best?

stray saffron
#

i don't think that you shoul immediately throw money at the problem though when it isn't clear at all that you'll like the game at level 70

little swift
#

skips are probably not the right way to go about it

queen merlin
#

@little swift maybe not, but they were for me

raw solstice
#

@sturdy mason that page I linked had a chart for bait vs fish at that fishing hole, and both visually (and hovering over the icons) how likely you are to catch each fish with each kind of bait

leaden ginkgo
#

Skipping the story on your first character is essentially setting yourself up to not be invested in the story or characters once you get to the current content I don’t recommend it

little swift
#

/\

stray saffron
#

if an extra $50 in skips on top of your $60 video game after playing it for a couple hours, tops, is impulse buy territory for you, then i'm happy for you, but i don't really think skips are a good idea for new players at all

dull minnow
#

I have to skip it

#

I dont care for lore

queen merlin
#

depends on what you want, I just enjoy dungeons and gearing

#

exactly

leaden ginkgo
#

You do you I’m just saying

queen merlin
#

this is very subjective

stray saffron
#

do whatever you want, yeah, but remember that you're out $110 if you end up bouncing off

dull minnow
#

IMO I think lore has nothing to do with a game. IDC why a boss is where he is. I just need to kill him and move on

stray saffron
#

lol

queen merlin
#

and that is completely fine

stray saffron
#

being brutally honest: this might not be the game for you

#

just make an informed decision, whatever you do

dull minnow
#

I can kill bosses and ppl

#

it is

It's a feature of the market.

#

Sellers gotta consider what quantities to sell in to get people to want to buy

dull minnow
#

I can pay money to skip? lvls or all the talking and videos?

jade quartz
#

Both

crystal bluff
#

yes

jade quartz
#

Separate payments

dull minnow
#

oh god

#

thats just sad

raven sage
#

Were you not paying attention?

#

sade said that like 5 times

dull minnow
#

thats how you kill a game

jade quartz
#

No it's not

crystal bluff
#

?

jade quartz
#

it's been very successful

opal turret
#

Paid level skipping kills a game?

dull minnow
#

im new

jade quartz
#

and brought in a lot of people who otherwise would have bounced off

queen merlin
#

me included

dull minnow
#

if I pay to skip lvls I know nothing about my class or the game

crystal bluff
#

then dont skip?

jade quartz
#

If you read your tooltips you do

dull minnow
#

I hurt the higher lvls I will be teaming up with at that point

queen merlin
#

you can learn?

#

wtf dude 😛

raven sage
#

Are you doing ok?

#

You just like flipped

opal turret
#

I think they're trying to troll or something, lol

queen merlin
#

haha yeah

jade quartz
#

Yeah you just changed modes

#

👀

queen merlin
#

yeah

#

troll prolly

opal turret
#

They switched to Discord Light Mode

dull minnow
#

troll?

#

how am I trolling

raven sage
#

you're going back and forth on opinions

queen merlin
#

ur not making sense

wintry chasm
#

Yeah hey let's not say anyone is a troll

#

Thanks

queen merlin
#

noted

crystal bluff
#

because you immediately went from wanting to skip, to not wanting to skip

twilit arch
#

well y'all can just let it drop

dull minnow
#

yes skip the lore

#

not lvls

raven sage
#

You can skip the story and not the leveling part technically

stray saffron
#

if you skip the story but not your levels, you're gonna be looking at an even longer grind than if you just did the story

jade quartz
#

That's not advisable

stray saffron
#

because the story is how you level.

raven sage
#

Yeah just an awful idea

wintry chasm
#

You can't really eat your cake and have it in that regard sorry @dull minnow

dull minnow
#

no no no

jade quartz
#

Level and story skips only take you to the previous level cap.

wintry chasm
#

^

#

You can learn there

dull minnow
#

im going to to do the story

jade quartz
#

You'll be level 70 and still have to do the Shadowbrigers main story.

wintry chasm
#

or take your time as much as you want beforehand

dull minnow
#

but not read any of it or watch any of it

stray saffron
#

that's fine

dull minnow
#

click click click

crystal bluff
#

then just hit escape on cutscenes?

main plaza
#

so technical step is the biggest single hit in the game right? but i heard machinist can also do a big burst and im trying to figure out how hard it can hit compared to tech step

stray saffron
#

yeah, that doesn't cost anything

#

when you said "skip," what that made everyone, including me, think of is the paid skip options that are on the cash shop

#

it's $25 to level one job to 70 and another $25 to autocomplete all the story up to the most recent expansion

dull minnow
#

yeah I didnt even know that was a thing

stray saffron
#

that makes sense

dull minnow
#

after your first 1` I think thats cool if you have cash to drop

stray saffron
#

yeah

dull minnow
#

but if its your first time

crystal bluff
#

you can completely skip through the cutscenes if you dont care about the lore, and just read a plot synopsis later if you want to learn, i guess

dull minnow
#

big yikes

stray saffron
#

100% right

#

it's real rough when you queue into a level 71 shadowbringers dungeon with someone who basically just bought the game

dull minnow
#

see

#

that was my point

jade quartz
#

If you have a good grounding in playing MMOs you shouldn't really have a problem.

dull minnow
#

thank you

stray saffron
#

yeah, everyone was just talking past each other for a minute there

wintry chasm
#

I do believe technical finish is the strongest single skill in the game (excluding aoe.) If anything comes close it might be some ninja mudra maybe @main plaza

dull minnow
#

im happy im no longer a troll ol

jade quartz
#

If you're not adept at learning, then leveling to 70 the normal way probably isn't going to help you.

stray saffron
#

i think highest single-potency might be one of the kassatsu'd ninja mudras, yeah

main plaza
#

oooo

raven sage
#

Yeah sorry it just seemed like you weren't listening to anyone briefly

dull minnow
#

all good

#

how long does it take to reach lvl 50

#

the first time

crystal bluff
#

ive only been playing for a few days and im at 40

#

but thats only a few hours a day

main plaza
#

for the ninja mudra do you guys mean the hyosho ranryu ability?

dull minnow
#

ok thanks

main plaza
#

it says 1200 potency which is the closest ive seen outside of the one samurai skill

twilit arch
#

out of curiosity any reason why you're focusing only on a single target ability?

main plaza
#

i just like having a skill that does like a billion damage

#

doesnt have to be single target but i assume they do more dmg than aoes

small bridge
#

A mining quest needs hq effervescent water, but my % for that is 0%. Do I need more perception? I'm close to lvl 30

broken sail
#

Yep

twilit arch
#

cos if you're wanting big numbers, like i said yesterday or this morning when you asked about it

#

blm and sam are going to be it

small bridge
#

The only mining gear I have is from the quests, so I'll just need to buy some?

main plaza
#

blms biggest skill seems to hit half as hard as these and i dont like sam

#

ninja seems cool though

raven sage
#

Some vendor gear might push you enough

small bridge
#

Okay thanks!

twilit arch
#

I mean for things like technical step you're only going to be using it every so often

main plaza
#

yeah

#

id rather have a skill that does 100 damage that i use less often compared to a skill that does 50

#

also i read machinist is supposed to have a rly big burst but how does that work if their biggest skill is 800 potency?

jade quartz
#

Because burst =/= one single skill

twilit arch
#

Reassemble ensure that your next weaponskill is a critical direct hit

opal turret
#

Hey, sorry to cross the streams here with a second question when things are already being discussed, but are there more hairstyles later in the game than what I had during creation at the start?

twilit arch
#

i always add an s when it doesn't need one..

#

!faq hairstyle

zinc orbitBOT
opal turret
#

Oh shoot, thank you

main plaza
#

so would machinist be the strongest burst damage in the game? or another class

obsidian patio
#

There’s also a bunch of hairs with the hairdresser guy that was added in patches

#

Which don’t show up in character creation

twilit arch
#

No, fairly certain Sam does

orchid grove
#

Hey, I'm new to the game and I'm trying to wrap my head around this weird mmo
It seems like I have to progress in the main story to max level, but as far as I've seen its single player only, so I cant really play with anyone till I'm max level ??
So how is this an mmo ?

I've played for the first 30 levels and I feel like I'm playing a single player game
What am I missing ?

opal turret
#

I'll have to do some digging once I get home- I think my character is cute but I know I'd be happier with more options 0:

main plaza
#

welp i guess nin is the way then

jade quartz
#

@obsidian patio they do show up in char creation

crystal bluff
#

@orchid grove story is really just to get you leveled up, and introduced to the lore of the game. There are a lot of 4 player co op missions in the main story tho

obsidian patio
#

Really? Must’ve been somewhat recent. mooglethink

jade quartz
#

the only ones that don't are the ones that require using a Modern Aesthetics item to unlock

#

always

#

always been like that

#

The hairstyles that are added straight into the aesthetician with new patches are available at char creation.

dry spire
#

Hey, I'd like to do some real prog on my zodiac weapon (Nexus atm)
Saw that Second Coil turns gave 96 pts (binding light)
Which turn is the easiest to farm for around 20+ fights in your opinion ?

spice vapor
#

when is 5.2 rumored to come out?

orchid grove
#

@crystal bluff I'm level 30 now and there have been only 3 dungeons if thouse are the 4 player missions you speak of, but they are not just to get me leveled up as I need them to open up new content, such as dungeons

scarlet arrow
#

@orchid grove in many ways this is a traditional single-player JRPG, with the caveat that you have to play with other people from time to time

obsidian patio
#

@dry spire Binding Coil Turn 4, Tam Tara normal, and Ifrit normal are probably the best things to spam

teal temple
#

Hello hello, new player here
I'd like to ask, is there a job tier list? I'd like to pick something that is currently good at endgame no matter the role

scarlet arrow
#

there are mandatory dungeons at level 15, 16, 17, 24 and 28 with an optional one at 20

obsidian patio
#

All jobs are good.

#

Damage difference between highest and lowest DPS classes is around 10-14%

teal temple
#

that's something

#

so, there's a tier list?

obsidian patio
#

No.

scarlet arrow
#

the differences between jobs aren't meaningful enough for there to be a tier list

orchid grove
#

@scarlet arrow So this becomes an mmo only once you reach max level ?

dry spire
#

Oki, thanks Wynne

scarlet arrow
#

play what you like 🙂

teal temple
#

Okay, good to know

#

Even tho I keep reading that there's jobs that outshine other jobs dps wise

scarlet arrow
#

@orchid grove it definitely becomes more like a traditional MMORPG at the level cap, but there will still be plenty of opportuinities within the story to play with others

#

this is not SWTOR where your story dungeons have a solo mode

sturdy mason
leaden ginkgo
#

It’s a mmo from the second you log in mate

#

nope what happened

sturdy mason
#

just starting up the launcher

leaden ginkgo
#

try restarting the application

tough solstice
#

what's the quickest

#

glowing weapon

#

I can get

jade quartz
#

er

#

there are a lot of glowing weapons

#

there are some on the marketboard I guess

#

just look at the category of weapons equippable by your class and try them all on

tough solstice
#

@jade quartz So glowing weps aren't only the quest ones? like zeta and anima?

scarlet arrow
#

there are some crafted primal-themed level 50 weapons that glow

balmy plinth
#

are there any real benefits to going past first storm lieutenant for GC?

obsidian patio
#

Captain has some glamour equipment if you want it

#

And a bigger seal cap, but besides those two not really

balmy plinth
#

ah ok

teal temple
#

the download speed is being really low, is there something I can do to fix this? it will take a lot of time to download the game at this pace

crystal bluff
#

get better internet

teal temple
#

ouch

crystal bluff
#

Mine seems to download at the same speed as stuff from steam, idk

dry spire
#

Wynne, the 3 choices you gave me are things you can solo easily, right ?
How much light do they give ? Binding 32, Ifrit normal 16 but what about Tam Tam ?

obsidian patio
#

I think tam Tara also gives blinding

#

Which would be the 32 or 64

crystal bluff
#

is it ever worth restarting a duty queue? the average wait time just keeps goin up

raven sage
#

restarting just puts you in a position where someone else will take your spot so no

crystal bluff
#

figured as much, thanks

junior yacht
#

Restarting puts you back at the end of the line

#

the only time it's worth it is if you change roles from DPS to tank or healer, who usually have shorter queues

sturdy mason
#

There's a trial for this game right?

scarlet arrow
#

correct

little swift
#

its !faq gotrial for future reference :^)

leaden ginkgo
#

hey all

shell dagger
#

does anyone know where i can find an updated guide video on how to play astrologian?

gritty oracle
sinful lark
#

Can somebody PLEASE tell me which server to join? 😭😭

shell dagger
#

ZALERA

sinful lark
#

WHOS THAT

shell dagger
#

@gritty oracle thanks so much!!

#

it's a world on the crystal server

sinful lark
#

Can I find cool people and become boss with them and such?

crystal bluff
#

so for this quest i can choose between 3 materia. critical hit, direct hit, or determination. which is better?

obsidian patio
#

Depends on the class, just take whatever sells the most,

crystal bluff
#

they all sell for 60 gil

obsidian patio
#

Marketboard price, not vendor price

crystal bluff
#

oh

obsidian patio
#

Though I’m pretty sure that’s grade 4 materia so they’re probably worthless

sinful lark
#

So Zalera then..?

cedar roost
#

Materia doesn’t particularly matter until endgame, and by that point getting what you need is fairly trivial.

obsidian patio
#

Are you NA or EU?

sinful lark
#

Na

#

But international stuff would be cool too! 🤣

cedar roost
#

Come to Exodus, we have Cookies owo

obsidian patio
#

I recommend a preferred server for the experience boost

sinful lark
#

Preferred?

obsidian patio
#

They’re marked with a star

sturdy mason
#

Anyone got a recommendation on how to create an account for my son? He's under 13 but wants to play. Is the best way to create a second account with a separate email & my own birthday?

cedar roost
#

Looks like the only Preferred server in NA right now is Famfrit.

obsidian patio
#

There’s some more in Primal/crystal

sinful lark
#

Oof

#

Which ones Exodus though

cedar roost
#

Oh whoops I totally forgot Crystal existed lol

scarlet arrow
#

lol

cedar roost
#

Exodus is on Primal

scarlet arrow
#

but seriously choose a Preferred server, you get double xp on everything for quite a bit of time

cedar roost
#

^

sinful lark
#

Does it have to be NA?

obsidian patio
#

If you want good ping, yes

cedar roost
#

You could play on EU or JP servers, but you’ll have generally worse ping and possibly run into language barriers more frequently.

obsidian patio
#

Also the time you’re active won’t match with them

sinful lark
#

That’s true

#

😫Nevermind

#

So...

#

Famfrit

golden agate
#

famfrit is a great server

#

i am very happy there

sinful lark
#

That’s good to hear

#

You meet cool people to become boss with and such?

cedar roost
#

There are good Free Companies (guilds) on every server! Whether you can gel with them or not is up to chance, so don’t worry if the first one you join doesn’t work out. That said, most people are pretty chill in this game in my experience. 🙂

serene elbow
#

what quest that unlock dravanian hinterlands ?

gritty oracle
#

Heavensward MSQ

hoary storm
#

MSQ

rose rose
#

When you turn on minimum requirement for a duty where it syncs all levels up if they dont meet the requirement, can people who havent unlocked the quest join in a party?

warped nest

It doesn't work that way

rose rose

Alright thank

leaden ginkgo
#

so can classes earn exp through NewGame+?

fresh lodge
#

No

#

There are no rewards during NG+

leaden ginkgo
#

Oof so just spamming dungeons is still the way to farm exp?

scarlet arrow
#

and Palace of the Dead (for DPS classes)

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, thanks. Doing a cleric right now thought I could do NG+, there goes that idea.

scarlet arrow
#

you mean WHM?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, WHM

scarlet arrow
#

then definitely spam dungeons, healers (and tanks) have little to zero queue time

torn echo
#

Should i buy facet gear as soon as I hit 80? or at least facet accessories/weapon? Or is gearing through content pretty easy?

obsidian patio
#

With how late is in the patch I wouldn’t advise buying facet gear besides maybe the weapon

#

Since 5.2 in mid/late February will add higher ilvl stuff

compact bloom
#

Hi! Just to make sure I'm understanding Glamour correctly.. If I see an equip I really like the looks for, I can spend a Glamour Prism to store it in Glamour Dresser, and always be able to project it onto whatever equips I use in future? (Without needing to buy another with the look I like?)

junior yacht
#

That's the basics, yes

whole wasp
#

Yes with a couple of caveats

junior yacht
#

There are a few resitrictions

whole wasp
#

Must be on a class you can wear it on. Equip must have higher level than the glamour.

mint shale
#

what are the caveats?

compact bloom
#

oo I see, that kind of makes sense! No healers in heavy armor I guess haha

whole wasp
#

If you only want to glam one piece fron the plate, you can also take off everything except the one you want to glam.

scarlet arrow
#

I mean there's the one set from SB where everyone gets samurai armor 😛

junior yacht
#

There's a lot of "pure" glamour gear that's level 1 (or similarly low-level) and can be worn by all classes

compact bloom
#

Ahh, so the stuff from Mog Station should be pretty safe then if I'm reading it right

junior yacht
#

generally yes

whole wasp
#

It should be. Mog items are at most gender locked.

compact bloom
#

Got it, thanks for help all!

sturdy mason
#

E1S vice and virtue: The spell name is the same for each different type right?

green grail
#

yes

ember goblet
#

Yeah

sturdy mason
#

so you just need to look out for either 4 markers on dps, 2 on tank, or 2 on healers?

ember goblet
#

Yes

#

It's all scripted too

green grail
#

or just learn the order

ember goblet
#

So with enough practice you just memorize the order

sturdy mason
#

AOE -> tank buster -> tag?

ember goblet
#

Yes

tame bane
#

Hey guys with glamour. Does the appearance you want to change too has to be in your inventory?

sturdy mason
#

strategically when is a good time to use WHM Temperance? Do I use it as a healing buff or a shield?

pale sentinel
#

You can make glamour plates so it doesn't have to be in your inventory.

whole wasp
#

Healing buff. Shield is bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

You use it for the shield in high-end fights

whole wasp
#

Anytime there is multiple instant of strong AoE

sturdy mason
#

The CD is so damn long I find it hard to use it reliably. The only situation I can think to use it is when my co-healer is sucking and I have to do multiple AOE heals to get the party up, or if I fall behind in some other way healing-wise

whole wasp
#

Or for cleanup of boss ultimate attack

#

You can do that too but i find that can easily become the trump you mever use.

sturdy mason
#

for AOE catchup I also have plenary indulgence

leaden ginkgo
#

You're usually good to stack up regens before ultimates

whole wasp
#

Its entirely up to you.

sturdy mason
#

what do you mean the trump I never use?

whole wasp
#

If you save it for emergencies but the fight goes smoothly, you might never use it because you keep holding it.

#

ProZD. Nice! Exactly what i meant.

junior yacht
#

If an ability has a 1-minute cooldown, and you go a minute without using it, you've wasted it

leaden ginkgo
#

more like two minutes really

warped nest
#

120s is kinda fast, 60s is really fast, 30s is insanely fast

#

In the context of how soon cooldown get ready

leaden ginkgo
#

You'll end up holding stuff for almost twice its cooldown if you really need it at those two parts, but if you go longer than that you could have just hit it at some point when it came off cd and still got those key uses

#

offensive cds you almost never want to hold for a duration equal to their cooldown though

warped nest
#

30s is around 12-13 GCD give or take, that's 4 3-step melee combo

#

I think the only one you want to hold is RDM's double mana thingy, cuz it is 110s and embolden is 120s

junior yacht
#

That and GNB's DoT

#

because it's slightly faster than their damage boost

leaden ginkgo
#

sometimes you hold a bit for raidbuffs

warped nest
#

Going back to healer big CD, they are probably a lot more effective in harder fights

leaden ginkgo
#

or you hold those raidbuffs to line up with other raidbuffs

warped nest
#

For normal raid and stuff, you just use them whenever you need to

leaden ginkgo
#

Like in perfect alex I hold delirium for 30s on the second use so it goes out at 0/2:00/3:30/5:00 and hits the buffs at 2:00 and 5:00 where if I didn't hold I'd use at 0/1:30/3:00/4:30 and completely miss two full sets of raidbuffs and one pot window

#

Same deal with 3 minutes, they go out at 0 and 5:00 because at 5:00 they hit pots and 2 minutes at 5:00 (which are also held for 1 minute)

#

Though in pugs you tend to just pop stuff on cd ¯_(ツ)_/¯

whole wasp
#

Healing wise, if you never get pushed hard enough, you might completely forget to use it. especially in Pugs

#

i have to constantly remind myself to press Summon Seraph

warped nest
#

The big cooldowns for tanks and healers are usually designed for harder contents

#

For normal contents, they are just very useful if you need them, but they are not necessary, strictly speaking

#

Not saying don't use them, but you will usually find that they are very powerful and a bit too strong for whatever you are handling in casual contents

novel parcel
#

Why does it feel like potency sometimes is a lie:
I'm a samurai, and for both skills I used Kaiten +50% potency
It says midare has 800 potency +50% = 1200
Senei has 1100 potency +50% = 1650
So why after a bit of testing midare typically does 26k dmg and senei 20k dmg

#

am I missing something

#

(24k midare vs 23k senei now, it varies, but shouldn't be a much bigger difference and in favor of senei?)

whole wasp
#

maybe it crit?

warped nest
#

Senei don't work with kaiten

#

!action Hissatsu Kaiten

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hissatsu: Kaiten** : lvl 52 SAM (20 None) (1.0 second cooldown)

warped nest
#

!action senei

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

!action Hissatsu Senei

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hissatsu: Senei** : lvl 72 SAM (50 None) (120.0 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 1,100.
Kenki Gauge Cost: 50
Shares a recast timer with Hissatsu: Guren.

warped nest
#

Senei is an ability, Kaiten only buffs Weaponskill

#

Don't trust me? Use Kaiten then senei, Kaiten won't be consumed

dusk zenith
#

why isnt there flying for ARR zones?

slate arrow
#

because they weren't designed for flight

warped nest
#

Flying was added in HW

#

And there is no reason to add flight in ARR

novel parcel
#

ah I see, seeing kaiten being used up I assumed it did work turns out its the skill I use after senei that it gets used up on.
Still tho there's 100 potency difference, why is senei consistently doing less dmg

whole wasp
#

most likely they have to redo the map so its a technical issue as well.

warped nest
#

Senei is 1100 potency

#

Kaiten Midare is 1200 potency

novel parcel
#

nvm

#

I reversed them and bamboozled myself

whole wasp
#

Lol

novel parcel
#

fair enough, I understand everything now ty

warped nest
#

Kaiten goes with Iaijutsu and nothing else

dusk zenith
#

oh i see

junior yacht
#

it can be used with other abilities, but it shouldn't

warped nest
#

You can use it on single target combo enders, and it is very close to Hissatsu Shinten in terms of potency per kenki

#

But thats more for "oh shoot, I fat finger Kaiten, what should I do!?"

pale sentinel
#

When it comes to buying a house. Do I need to build it within 45 days or just swing by the lot to make sure it doesn't get reclaimed?

obsidian patio
#

You have to enter the house every 45 days at minimum to keep it

pale sentinel
#

So I need to build it within 45 days then enter it?

rich bay
#

Ah yes.

#

When you buy the plot, you need to buy a permit too.
You have 30 days to buy one, otherwise you lose the deed.

pale sentinel
#

So buy lot, buy permit, build house within 45 days

#

That's the way to keep it without it being reclaimed?

#

I was hoping I'd have more then 45 days to build it.

junior yacht
#

30 days

pale sentinel
#

Ah.

junior yacht
#

45 days is after the house is built

pale sentinel
#

Guessing I would need the basics like 4 walls, roof, and floor?

rich bay
#

Buy the plot > build house in 30 days >> enter every 44* days at least to not lose the house and the plot. (*on the 45 day, the game will take it.)

#

No, the permit also get you the basic needs for your exterior walls.

#

So the permit covers it by itself.

pale sentinel
#

The permit gives me the raw material the. I craft it?

#

For the bare minimum?

obsidian patio
#

It gives the entire house

pale sentinel
#

Ohhhhh

#

Walls and all? Okay.

rich bay
pale sentinel
#

Sorry. It just all sorta confuses me lol

#

So lot and permit.

#

Then I have a house.

rich bay
#

Permit is bought on the plot itself or on the MB.
(Some Exterior walls are resticted to the housing district btw)

novel parcel
#

Are the houses just a way to keep you subscribed? like when I do want to play but take a longer break is there really nothing else that'll let me keep the house other than subbing and visiting every month?

pale sentinel
#

Can I later swap out exterior walls for different ones?

rich bay
#

Yes, but some are made in a FC workshop.

Okay. Think I understand it a little more now. Are permits as expensive as the lot?

scarlet arrow
#

Houses are mostly vanity items, but you can add things like chocobo stables to train your mount, FC chests, vendors, etc.

pale sentinel
#

Also is there a way to have a tenant or a second person have access to the house completely?

scarlet arrow
#

yes

pale sentinel
#

Sorry for so many questions.

scarlet arrow
#

you can give specific people permissions

#

this is the questions channel, don't be sorry 🙂

rich bay
#

Asking questions makes you smart! blobcatfluffhappy

pale sentinel
#

If I later want to move to a different area. Like from the goblet to the mist. Can I sell?

obsidian patio
#

You can relocate the house to the new plot

pale sentinel
#

Even a new plot in a different area?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

pale sentinel
#

Awesome! Thanks everyone !!

How do i get alphascape datalogs?

junior yacht
#

beat Alphascape Savage fights

queen flame
#

do they have a cap?

junior yacht
#

not anymore

queen flame
#

fantastic. thanks!

#

are these fights doable unsynced solo? with a level 80?

slate arrow
#

nope

#

too many mechanics

obsidian patio
#

Also you wouldn’t meet the DPS check

queen flame
#

gotcha, queue it is

#

thanks

obsidian patio
#

I’d suggest party finder and see if other want to join that

#

That will go much smoother than queueing for those fights

junior yacht
#

make sure it's unsync'd

queen flame
#

will do! thanks!

junior yacht
#

can you own an apartment and a personal house?

obsidian patio

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

how do i get to the MSQ location without asking for a friend to take me there

#

had to teleport away to do something real quick, didn't attune the aetheryte

#

now im wondering if there's a way to get there through some npc nearby

whole wasp
#

You can swim there or look for a ferryman

leaden ginkgo
#

the ferryman isn't there

whole wasp
#

There is a ferryman to the south end in the island to the west

green grail
#

just jump in the water and go

whole wasp
#

Gimme a sec. Ill paint it for you

leaden ginkgo
#

no i know where it is actually

#

but he's actually not there

#

i remember he's supposed to be at this spot but i guess shit's not unlocked till after a certain point in msq or something

fresh lodge
#

Just swim there then

leaden ginkgo
#

SWIMMING IT IS

whole wasp
#

RIP. have you been to Yanxia? it might be easier to swim there from the west island

leaden ginkgo
#

if you see the map and the msq you can see that it's like

#

basically not even there yet

#

it's okay lmao

#

just wanted to know if there's actually an npc that moves me there, but guess not LMAO

queen flame
#

if I buy a level boost, ill need to buy lvl 60 artifact gear, right? what about lvl 70?

slate arrow
#

it automatically gives you the 390 set from Rhaglr's Reach

queen flame
#

great! thank you

hushed girder
#

where is best to farm Poetics?

obsidian patio
#

Do Alliance Raid, Main Scenario, and 50/60/70 roulette every day for their daily poetics

#

After that queue for whatever dungeon gives the most that you don’t mind grinding

#

You can also go unlock a ton of non-current expansion content for the first time bonus of poetics

leaden ginkgo
#

You can also try queueing for story trials hoping for first-time bonuses for variety but it's a bit unreliable

do I need to log out in a Inn or just the city for more xp?

warped nest
#

City is fine

dull minnow

ok ty

warped nest

Inn is for flavor

leaden ginkgo

You took a nap and now you are back irl

ahh ok ty

somber cradle
#

Question- If I play the trial from square enix itself, can I buy the complete edition from steam and still get the 30 days free, or does it need to be a new account?

fresh lodge
#

The 30 days are from the base game, so you'll get it

boreal monolith
#

Hello guys, si there a way of turning off visual effects when crafting?

#

is*

cedar roost
#

I don't know if it affects crafting, but there are Battle Effects Settings under Character Configuration -> Control Settings -> Character.

boreal monolith
#

Turns off some of the effects, thanks

somber cradle
#

Okay, after buying it on steam, it's making me re install the entire game. Is this normal?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

since the trial files are in a completely different instal

somber cradle
#

oh okay.

#

thanks!

quartz shale
#

not just that, he's basically on a different client entirely

#

steam vs SE

junior bluff
#

hey! just a quick question for a friend: can you play the same character on PS4 and PC granted you purchase the expansions twice?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

As long as they linked to the same service account

junior bluff
#

all my items/progress remains as well?

warped nest
#

Same save file

junior bluff
#

will HUDS remain the same?

warped nest
#

Not untill you upload them from your character select screen iirc

#

How items are arranged is saved locally as well, but it won't magically change what you have.

junior bluff
#

awesome! thanks

little swift
#

also keep in mind if you only buy the base game you will be limited to ARR only areas but can still access it all freely

leaden ginkgo
#

So I have to use the duty finder to get into sastasha

fresh lodge
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

I've waited for 5 minutes and I'm still not in

fresh lodge
#

Be patient

No.

tawdry venture
#

Hey uhm, I heard that there's a way to enhance mount speed other than completing the MSQ for a certain area

slate arrow
#

!faq hunts

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

No tag named hunts exists, Kupo!

tawdry venture
#

I was told to go to my GC's Hunt Billmaster, but I don't know what to do there

#

is there a certain item I need to buy?

slate arrow
#

tl;dr you take hunts which grant you seals on completion

#

you can then use the seals to buy speed upgrades per zone

tawdry venture
#

ohh

slate arrow
#

250 seals each

tawdry venture
#

where do I find the speed upgrades in the menu?

obsidian patio
#

Note that the speed upgrades don’t boost flying speed.

#

Travel > Mount speed

tawdry venture
#

huh

#

yeah, that doesn't really sound worth it

#

I thought it might at least be per entire region

slate arrow
#

i mean it gets better later on since expansions only come with 6 zones instead of the like

#

20 or so ARR has

tawdry venture
#

ah

Mount speed is tied into mount

jade quartz
#

oh

slate arrow
#

well, only one of them is tied to the mount and that's the Cloud Motorcycle which grants 1 speed up by default

#

it's the only mount to do so

jade quartz

#

Any healers on Light want to help me finish my guildhests (last 2-3 of them)? Been in queue for 2 hrs now...

leaden ginkgo
#

You're forced to do it that way

#

There's only one MSQ quest chain

#

The 8-man and 24-man raid series are the major side stories, with varying relevance to the MSQ

#

It takes quite a while yeah

#

^^

frosty badger
#

Is there a list of all rare FATES somewhere?

leaden ginkgo
#

Can I use a glint plate to do the fashion show or do I need to actually equip the items

fresh lodge
#

It just needs to look like the item

abstract raft
#

Long story short, my main menu is opening up the small menu buttons on the bottom right instead of the regular main menu that fills basically the screen. How do I revert it back? I have no clue what i did

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah okay ty

fresh lodge
#

Did you swap to Keyboard and Mouse instead of Controller in Character settings?

abstract raft
#

I flipped the switch twice but on controller mode, its bringing the small buttons up instead

#

Ah, I foun my problem.

leaden ginkgo
#

Does anyone know what pants I can use for SAM?

abstract raft
#

The UI setings were switched for some reason. Ty for the response. Exremely appreciated

fresh lodge
#

Striking Pants

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah but they have to look like the pants needed

#

But I don’t see anything that looks like the ones from the fashion video I am seeing he recommended Gaskin but rip

#

Hallowed Gaskin *

twilit arch
#

unless you're going for 100pts, just use 2 gold star items or 1 gold and fill in dyes

leaden ginkgo
#

I am I want the title lol

twilit arch
#

then you are not going to get it with SAM

radiant brook
#

should i wait until the shadowbringer content to unlock samurai or should i finish leveling up my dragoon?

twilit arch
#

it doesn't really matter, if you want to unlock and work on samurai then go for it

radiant brook
#

okay thanks

I think I heard somewhere not to do relic weapon or armor as a beginner but now this quest has me looking for relic armor in 3 places for level 45 warrior. Am I suppose to delay this?

obsidian patio
#

They mean the relic weapons which are separate from the job quests

#

No need to delay the job quests

tropic plover
#

How do you get to Boulder Downs lol... it’s in another continent and I don’t see any ports to it 😦.

twilit arch
#

its in the eastern side of coerthas central highlands

#

easiest way to get to it would be to teleport to mor dhona and head up to coerthas

tropic plover
#

Yeah but I’ve never been to Coerthas

twilit arch
#

what main scenario quest are you on?

tropic plover
#

Into Beast Maw

#

The dungeon quest for thousand maws

twilit arch
#

well, you're behind a fair bit, but you can get to coerthas from north shroud

#

the northeastern zone line leads to it

tropic plover
#

Ah TY that’s exactly what I was LF!

leaden ginkgo
#

hai there

#

so i was couple of months without playing, and my house obviously got demolished

#

F

#

do i have the items still somewhere or are they gone?

twilit arch
#

when exactly did your house get demolished?

#

if its been longer than 35 days, you're SOL

leaden ginkgo
#

i think it must have been over 35 days

#

but it was just half decorated and only a medium house so it aint going to be end of the world

#

just curious how i get back anything IF there is .. anything

#

talk to the resident caretaker in housing ward

#

i think it can give ur stuff back

twilit arch
#

yeah, if you can reclaim anything it'll be on the resident caretaker

leaden ginkgo
#

uhu

#

worth a shot

#

got to love subscription games uwu

#

uh

#

so when i talk to theee resident caretaker, forgive my lack of skill in English

#

but is it the tab that says ''claim personal estate posessions and indemification''

#

if i click that one i get the results of

#

''claim indemnification ( 13,6 mil gil ) ''

#

and

#

''claim abadoned possessions''

#

is this both or either?

obsidian patio
#

Both

twilit arch
#

one is just for the gil

#

the other is for your items

leaden ginkgo
#

oh okay

#

was confused do i have to decide lol

obsidian patio
#

You should be able to pick both.

leaden ginkgo
#

i assume i need to have bag space for all the posessions?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah idk i didnt even like mist

#

warped nest

No

Plus even if it does, the game throws exp at your face with roulettes and dungeons

#

It won't exp starve you

main plaza

so very easy gives same exp?

Yes

Difficulty doesnt affect rewards

keen rivet
#

How do healers get through msq combat instances? Or is it toned down a bit?

obsidian patio
#

If there's any tuning I've never noticed it

#

Healers probably have it the easiest assuming there isn't a wipe-if-you-fail dps check, which is rare

#

since they can heal themselves and the NPCs

oak ice
#

They just do it? Those combat instances are intentionally made easy so everyone can enjoy the story

barren tusk
#

Hey, any controller users here? I kinda need help with something. Googling it several times did absolutely nothing.

I was messing around with the controller settings last night, trying to get the WXHB thing to work properly. After some digging around, I managed to get them to function, but something else changed in the process. Specifically, the way cycling through hotbars with R1 works.

#

I swear, this blasted thing only used to appear when I HELD DOWN R1, but now it flickers on the screen every single time I press R1 to cycle to the next hotbar. Every. Single. Time.

It annoys the everliving crap out of me and I want it gone. I've tried literally everything in the settings to fix it, including turning off the WXHBs, but nothing works. I'm starting to think it might just be something that's always been there and I've only just now noticed it, but I refuse to believe that until someone verifies it for me.

So: is this normal? Can it be fixed?

slate arrow
#

this is normal yes

warped nest
#

Is that stoneskin on your L2+dpad Up?

fresh lodge
#

They probably just grabbed a screenshot off google

warped nest
#

Ahhh

barren tusk
#

Not my hotbar. Just googled that off of Youtube

slate arrow
#

yes that has always been there

warped nest
#

You probably didn't notice it

barren tusk
#

That's so weird

warped nest
#

WXHB should reduce your need to use R1 hotbar cycle

#

If you need even more slots actively in combat, look into Expanded Hold Control

barren tusk
#

The R2+L2 thing?

warped nest
#

Yeah

barren tusk
#

Alright

#

Well, at least it isn't anything new then. Really weird how I never noticed it before, though. You'd think that flickering would get on everyone's nerves right away

warped nest
#

Once you got used to them, you no longer stares at the hotbar

#

Only short glimpse to keep track of your cooldown

kind burrow
#

You still pay subscription if you buy a Ps version of the game right?

warped nest
#

Yes

rare sable
#

Market Board

carmine oyster
#

ah oke

rare sable
#

Its rarely ever used though GWgoaThinken

#

Open world people prefer healer chocobo

#

While you have green dps healers for dungeon/trial

carmine oyster
#

yeah ok, but when i am doing main story quests in the open world i sometimes feel i need them, i once had a couple of the and found them very usefull

rare sable
#

As long as it works I guess xD

carmine oyster
#

how can you set the chocobo to healer?

#

they explained it once in game but i forgot

#

oh found it

jade quartz
#

You just unlock the healer actions.

#

I don't recommend bothering with setting them to healer stance

#

that just makes them follow you closely and do nothing but heal.

#

Free stance so that they will also hit things in the meantime
