Yesn't
Doh/l blue scrip is fastest
But you need to have them at least at lvl 50 first
i only have my crp over lvl 50
Should be good enough. Spam rowena for yellow, trade yellow to blue, blue to sand
how ?
Rowena delivery (collectibles)
Is unlimited
Though custom is gives better per item
what do you mean by spam ?
Check what crp item is on the delivery list
Make a shitton of them
You do know how to do rowena/normal delivery right?
no

there is no such quest introduce delivery to me
no
lol
there is this scrip exchanger npc in most of the town , but i can't seem to find the quest to trigger delivery
M too lazy to type, too long, google/youtube or someone help pls T^T
nvm then
Friend of mine made a free trial account some months ago and he forgot his password. Now he has an issue with recovering it. When he tries to reset password, it says the email adress is not associated with any account. When he tries to register with that same email, it says email is already taken.
Any idea what can be the cause of this?

so when the new crafted recipes
roll out
does the old goetia mats get phased out?
i think they just become phantasmagoria mats but half price? i'm not sure
but the new recipes will be using new mats
they won't become like, uncraftable though
the old ones
hmmm
im considering if its worth crafting now or just hoarding the goetia mats so i can just craft them for the new crafted gear
new crafted gear will use new phantasmagoria mats most likely
so just cap phantasmagoria and goetia before the maintenance so you have 2250 tomes ready to go
sadly I'm having a really weird connection issue with the game over the last few days, and I'm really not sure what it is. I just seem to lag out in game for a few seconds, sometimes upwards of 40 seconds before everything suddenly comes back, but other times it's much shorter. I can use sprint or a heal, and the sometimes it'll take 5 seconds or so before I get the effect.
The weird thing is, even during these tests, I'm running a pinging script in the background to check for packet loss and ping variation to the server I'm connected to, and out of the 100 packets I sent, one per second, I never had any packetloss and the ping never varied more than 3ms. I'm really not sure what's going on :(
the same happens with mobs and people around me - they'll just freeze in place for a little while then suddenly update and jump to where they're meant to be, all while i'm apparently not losing packets out of game :c
i am currently at post ARR, the 1st quest of the 1st patch for ARR. lvl60. I can't get shires gear until end of HW , right? is there a point in spending my silver chocobo feathers on shires?
You can’t buy Shire until you complete the HW base MSQ
However
There’s little-to-no point in having gear that’s far ahead of your MSQ progression anyway
Since the vast majority of content is locked behind MSQ
For ilvl 210 HW Weapons like "Brionac" are the only two visual "upgrades" for them;
- "Antiqued [weapon]" + Illuminati Gobdip exchange through NPC Seika = dyeable version
- Relic progression has the "spiral ribbons" version of weapon model
so better to just spend whatever poetics i have right now to upgrade ironworks? or will there be other gear in HW that will replace ironworks?
I'm wondering if there's any other fancy version that is different from the ribbons effect
That’s it Gneo
HW MSQ hands out free crafted hq gear for every two levels
because for some of them I like their models but I'd just rather have the dyeable version, as the spiral ribbons can be a bit much imo
But augmented Ironworks can last you to 55
just for glams, sorry
sorry to but back in between here, but I think my issue is because my sending / receiving in game drop to 0 for a few seconds. this time it finally lasted for long enough to cause a disconnect in game, yet out of game I was still pinging the server fine - so confused 😖
The script must not be reliable, from your description you’re definitely just dropping packets
well the script is just looping a ping test to the US DC? I'm not sure how unreliable that can be
ping 204.2.229.9 -n 100
if u rly want better gear fast u can even get lvl60 ilvl255 gear from the npc so long u reached ishgard for a few, so u can use your poetics to gear alt jobs or get unidentifiable ore`s which u can exchange later for soils to sell @mint shale but u dont even need the npc gear msq throws enough gear at u for 1 job at last
ah
@next steppe probably better to ask in #technology-discussion
not in a rush. just wondering what's worth using the chocobo feather on haha
Everything you can get with silver feathers is easy enough to obtain in other ways.
oh, thank you @hot eagle - had no idea that was a channel! will do ❤️
i would use the silver feathers for an alt job so u got some gear for it, since msq gives enough gear for your main job anyway
what are signs?
in what context
click filter settings has an option for 'signs'
"sign messages for pc targets"?
it's for the messages you get in chat when guy a puts a 1-5 marker etc on guy b
ah ok

nin ask! for non-huton, non-suiton(ta during cd) stuff do I go raiton or just suiton it
what level are you
yeah I'm getting the hang of that! just wanted to drop an ask since fc people mentioned just sticking to suiton would be better
but raiton seems to have better damage
you get meisui at 72 and when that's off cooldown then suiton's better than raiton
but before that you basically just want to spam raiton
ahh gotcha
I was planning to switch to samurai when I get to level 50, what's the best way to level up a new class?
samurai starts at 50
pick up a healer and dungeon run till you're 50
if you don't mind massive grinding pick anything and go potd(lol)
Question about recipe books. When you get one for let’s say book 4 for weaver. Do you get all the recipes in it or can you only pick one
You unlock all recipes inside that book
Yes nice.
I want to get some stormblood pieces for glamours for crafting.
I’m busy leveling all doh to 71 so I can wear the stuff that’s sold in crystarium for that level.
Good luck and have fun
I already got BSM there.
Make sure you do your weekly custom deliveries, decent source of yellow scrip
Would help you with unlocking recipes
Ishgard resto with road to 70 helps
I already spend too much time gathering.
Can’t fit custom deliveries in rn
The bit of money I have is reserved for crafting gear
Hoping a couple of sky steel leather sell to get money to buy mats
Can someone recommend a red mage guide? 🙂
!faq rdmguide
Who knows
Correct me if I'm wrong but they do tend to run events at least twice
and sometimes those items also go on mogstation
So probably but who knows when
XI
Anyone on primal down for shiva?
Which tank/healer class should I have as a pocket?
Whichever you enjoy, really. Whm is always useful though.
I heard astrologist is pretty RNG based, is that true? Because if not, I was thinking of going that
Eh not really anymore
There's some rng with cards but it's way less than it used to be
The card you draw either gives a bigger boost to physical or ranged classes
And adds a seal, which determines the strength of a different skill
!action divination
Increases damage dealt by self and nearby party members.
Duration: 15s
Can only be executed after obtaining three Seals of Arcana by playing at least three arcanum.
Effectiveness is determined by the number of different types of seals in play.
1 Seal Type: 4%
2 Seal Types: 5%
3 Seal Types: 6%
But it's a pretty small difference
Is there a way to tell what my dance steps are for the buff without physically looking at my hotbar to see whats glowing?
you could look at the dance gauge
Does that show it. Maybe I'm blind.
yeah, right below the fan showing your esprit
https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/jobguide/dancer#anchor__hud This shows it for both basic and simple gauges
it's a separate gauge from the esprit/feather fan but yeah
it defaults to right underneath it
I'll be damned.
My eyes are just automatically drawn straight to my hotbars so I didnt notice. Thats a lot more helpful.
So, got pld/war/drk and mch/mnk left to level from 70 - 80. Any perspective as what to take on next? Didn't really enjoy rdm because not much changed along the way to lv 80 so ended up as a chore. Not picking for me, just want different opinions 😄
War and DRK was pretty fun to level
Warrior get Chaotic Cyclone at 72, it is your best single and AOE attack
I'm leveling my Botanist, but I can't proceed with the next quest.
I started the Heavensward quests, the first one asks me to get HQ onions.
No matter what abilities I use, I can't get the HQ chance to go over 0% 😦
It doesn't turn into use only that skill class? xD
You unlock a chaotic 1v1 skill later on as well
It's an upgrade to fell cleave/decimate you can use every time you use infuriate
You didn't met the requirement, Silas
It always direct crits, even outside inner release
You might jusr need better gear @leaden ginkgo there's a big hop in stats from arr to hw
Some gathering nodes have a requirement, if you don't meet them, they will enforce a 0% quality chance
That too
You want to Infuriate outside of Inner Release once you are lvl 72 or higher
Ye
Chaotic Cyclone almost always beat Fell Cleave
Fell clesves also reduce infuriate cooldosn
hmm 🙂
I like what they did with war this expac
Once you hit 72+, Chaotic Cyclone is good for single target, until yeah, you get Inner Chaos at lvl 80
Does 920 potency and also always direct crits
It was it don't broke so we dont fix kinda thing
Warrior is simple, but very clean in ShB
My favourite thing to do is to use chaotic cyclone during nascent flash, the lv 76 skill
It can heal you almost to full in 1 gcd
You become a printer, who prints green number
Can't comment on the other tanks at 80 yet but I hear pallys have really defined dps phases now
Oh I didn't realize I was supposed to get better armor. Where can I get new armor for Heavensward?
And it's FoF had a small change
Jeweled crozier or market board
Overall the same for PLD
How do I make the relic weapon shiny?
Save your gil
Nah hes talking about gatherer cal
Hes hit a stat leap
Then do what Channy said
Never saw there was more quests
Or get to 61 and get gear from Kugane
where is "Jeweled crozier or market board"
Its in ishgard
Its the shopping district of ishgard
Market board is just the market board
I cant find that on my teleport list, but Ive completed the main story up through Stormblood 😦
Foundation
I have a friend that got dragged to the EU by her mom and shes having trouble renewing her sub. How can i gift her a sub?
Aethernet to that from there
Just buy a sub card that is from the same region as her account and then give her the code?
Stress the account

Not where she is residing
whats the difference between reply forward and back keybinds
what jobs can you solo a3s w/?

When doing the first levequest, there was something like a treasure chest. I didn't get to open it before it disappeared. Did I miss something important? Are there other treasure chests in the world during other quests?
Sometimes treasure chests or special mobs will spawn during levequests. The chests can contain consumables (potions mostly) or occasionally pink-quality gear. If you miss them, it's not a huge deal.
You have to open them before completing the leve objective because they're tied to that.
Oh, ok! Thanks!
Can someone show me how a maxed out desynth level looks like?
Does its progress bar change color?
should i consider getting a DPS counter/meter for late game?
@frosty badger you can click on your list of crafting classes and it will bring up a window which shows the numerical values for your desynth levels
460 should be current max
I know
It doesn’t change colour
Does DoH get an armory bonus like combat jobs?
What's the flawless band for?
the marriage quest
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions and discuss Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion. Thank-You, Kupo!
DoH/L don’t get armoury bonus @remote basin
Marriage?
I just said that
To other players?
Yes
You get the package on the Mog Station
Well shit
There are three tiers, the basic tier is free
The higher tiers give dyeable tux/dresses and a two-seater wedding chocobo mount
Oml
You and your partner both need to have a package
For the higher tiers, you both need to have the good enough tier
All tiers give a ring which can be used to teleport directly to your partner’s location every 30 minutes.
The Mog Station package delivers a bracelet item to you ingame. You and your partner have to form a party of 2, both equip the bracelet and begin a quest at the Sanctum of the Twelve in the East Shroud
You go on a little pilgrimage across Eorzea and pray at symbols of the Twelve together
Get each other rings which you can craft if you choose
And then book a ceremony at a certain time to which you can invite your friends
It’s in an instance of the Sanctum and has a bunch of cutscenes.
Official site info https://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/eternalbond/na/
it's actually a very nice ceremony
I got the free thing
so...
Yey...
Wait i just got one of them character customisation potions from completing the story?
Yes
Ah great
What is they to do after the main story?
Because i'm still getting msq's
You're still in the base game
and the credits rolled so idfk
So I’m stuck at the first dungeon and can’t progress
Great
Stuck how? In queue?
It won’t let me queue without setting undersized parties on
And when I do that I end up going in alone and dying
It shouldn't do that?
That’s what it’s doing
What exactly is it telling you
“Following requirements not met: Only available when using a preformed or undersized party.”
Can you take a picture?
Sorry for bad TV pic, can’t play on pc
That's not normal
What do I do
<@&473626701947994134> Sorry for the ping but I have no idea why it's doing this to them
And again when I do turn undersized parties on it will skip queue and put me in alone
I see your issue
That looks like you have min ilvl on
Take that off
By going into the cog in the top left
and then unticking min ilvl
Bless you
Shouldn't take too long as a tank
Hey, probably a simple question, but I grabbed the free Heavensward code from the Squenix store(?) months ago, and forgot about it. Now the Complete Edition is on sale, so I just bought that, so can I give that Heavensward code to someone who has just base game ARR, or is it linked to my account specifically, or something like that? I don't need it, and there's no reason to hoard it, lol.
You could give it to someone else if it's not expired
But it'd have to be the same region/platform
Does somebody want to trade registration codes or whatever cuz I accidentally bought the PC verison of shadowbringers instead of the steam one? Yes I know, I am very stupid, please dont make me feel bad.
is this normal?
It's taking AGES to download the game
my internet isn't the best, but it goes way faster than this
I play in light odin server, can I join a fellowship in Zodiark? by that I mean the recruiter is from different server
fellowships are datacenter wide
This is a dumb question but y’all would do anything for glam right? So I bought a whole set of the dwarven glam in shb but my eyes aren’t glowing yellow. Do u know why?
visor
lol it's ok just always test the visor on new headgear
also ty Tessiachan
quick q does entering a house during a free login period count as stopping the house demolition?
or do i need to actually be subbed
It counts since you're technically subbed and exist in the game
It just isn't paid time
figured it most likely would just wanted to double check before i did
saves me having to pay for a month when i dont really have anything to do xD

I remember a while back, someone posted a chart with the DPS jobs, listed with APM on one axis, and proc based vs priority based on the other axis, or something similar. Does anyone know what I'm talking about, and could post it?
I found it
I feel like that's a pre-5.1 chart that might not apply to certain jobs anymore
SMN APM is ridonkulous right now, for example
I’ve found out my problem is not one of internet and the support person lied to me
I am very happy I don’t need to call my ISP
... okay, now I know I got a concussion, I swapped which side of the patch had GCD/oGCD egi assaults, lol
Don't mind me
I only main the damn job 
Crendor fan 👀
Question: when i did the 69 dungeon, Castrum Albania, I got the weapon as my 'dungeon complete' reward. when was that changed? I though it was only armors that could drop that way.
Sweet! Dunegon weapon drind is going to SO less painful!
Thank you!
Update: it was 5.1
Is there a way I can have one hot bar replace another then swap back when im done?
Similar to controller?
Nowadays is it worth to do all the relic weapon questline?
Stats wise no. Glamour wise, depends on your preferences.
Farming fates doesnt look fun
The weapons look awesome but not sure if they are worth the hassle
I'd say they aren't unless you really care about fashion on that level. 2.0 is a chore.
3.0 is not as bad.
@hazy orchid depending on what you mean, you can use a hotbar swap macro
Do you know how I might achieve that? Thank you!
You’d use the copy sub command to swap hotbars around
Using classes (NOT jobs) is good for extra hotbars for macros since you don’t play as them
Hmm I see thanks!
What are the best weapons of the game rn and how are they obtained?
It's either Eden Savage or Hades weapons, I think.
And they're obtained by doing E4S and Hades EX
Is there something like ironworks/shire gear and weapons for level 70?
Oh theyre dropped from raids then, cool
Yes, there are Ronkan weapons which can be purchased for 500 tomestones of Goetia, and Deepshadow weapons which can be purchased for 10 Mowen's Tokens (Phantasmagoria) (1000 tomestones of Phantasmagoria) and a Lightweight Tomestone (4 Blade of Antiquity from E4)
This channel is for new or returning players to ask questions and discuss Final Fantasy XIV. As a reminder this channel is a troll free and an off-topic free zone. For general discussion please use #general-discussion. Thank-You, Kupo!
Ronkan weapons are 450 ilevel, and Deepshadow weapons are 460, and can be upgraded to 470 using a Deepshadow Solvent purchased for 1 Copied Factory coin
Aren't these level 80 tho? Anything like this for level 70?
Oh, for 70 there's Scaevan gear
500 poetics for a weapon (+100 to buy the upgrade item).
Vendors are in Rhalgar's Reach
Oh happy to hear theyre still bought with poetics
All past expansion gear can be purchased using poetics
Next expansion all the stuff I mentioned just now will also be available for poetics.
Friend of mine made a free trial account some months ago and he forgot his password. Now he has an issue with recovering it. When he tries to reset password, it says the email adress is not associated with any account. When he tries to register with that same email, it says email is already taken.
Any idea what can be the cause of this?
Haven't started crafting yet, but I hear people say that you can get to lvl 15 in front of the guildmaster? how is this
The guild vendors supply materials that will last you for the first 15-20 levels
@glad pewter
Eden Savage 4 has i475 weapons, the highest item level weapons.
Hades EX is i465, beaten by the i470 Argumented Deepshadow weapons.

||which msq does yotsuyu die again||
||the primary agreement / under the moonlight, end of 4.3||
quick question.. i bought the complete edition on steam on whim not realizing it was subscription based.
is it possible to get a refund if i never redeemed the game codes
@leaden ginkgo
I just go to Zodiark, my friendlist is full atm sadly.
I pick you up there.
@rugged rock pretty sure you can if you contact steams cs
@sinful breach is there a way to contact them through a chat..? i tried to refund but it says unavailable for this item
Hello all! I am considering buying ffxiv complete online edition (with all dlc) for 27.50 bucks as a deal! I have however 2 questions before deciding.. 1 What if I buy the full version and don't have a sub anymore after a month orso? Can I still play the game to an extend? 2 Is it worth to buy this version for a new player or should I start with base game and work my way up?
https://store.steampowered.com/steam_refunds/ you should be eligible if you meet those requirements
- no, you need the sub
- up to you, you can play the free trial first but the game's really slow at the start @tawny wind
also you only need base game and the latest expansion, all the stuff in the middle is included for free in the latest expansion
but if it's a limited time deal and you wanna give it a try without the social limitations of free trial then go for it
@leaden ginkgo
You need to be level 70 and have access to Stormblood to get the Fox ears. So do the MSQ first okay?
Maybe it is a motivation to do the MSQ? 
How do i access raids?
because i'm told you need to be level 50
And i'm level 52
you need to unlock them
in mor dhona
level 50 and finish the base game msq at "the ultimate weapon"
legacy of allag quest
in mor dhona
you queue up for them?
that's the lvl 50 24man
just follow the blue quest markers
if youre unsure
does anyone know where the final fantasy files are in appdata?
can someone give me a rundown of eu servers like quality or rp or idk or is there another place where I can ask that
@green grail I see. I got the realm reborn edition (free trial), but there are 3 other versions. 1 is the complete edition I mentioned. 2 is the online starter edition. And 3 is ffxiv shadowbringers.
Guessing 1 is the full package? 2 is just base game and 3 is dlc? So best thing I can do is just buy the full set?
Got 1 question about that tho, how is the progression? Do I go through an endless grind/questline first to access end game or can I jump right in?
yes and you have to do a bunch of main story quests before you can access the end game raids, but you can buy a story skip if you really dont feel like going through it
Thanks for the responses people! Gonna look up some more gameplay, the game looks overwhelming atm xD Got till the 11th to decide if I want to buy the deal or not :)
Cheers

as smn or healer, should I use swiftcast for literally anything that isnt res unless someone will absolutely die if I don't cast that spell right now
Every once in a while I will pop it for cure 2 if it is dire. But I never used it as SMN. not sure if that makes me a bad SMN
I mean, in an ideal world, you should use it whenever since it gives a free weave window
There any reason why breath of the creator specifically has a long que time? Been waiting an hour in duty finder, all the previous ones popped within 15 mins.
I play AST and RDM, every GCD is a free weave window
hmm fair
I need someone to marry for that beautiful white attire
If it's a situation where you are reasonably sure nobody is gonna die in the next minute, and it's not prog, it can be nice on WHM to buy an extra weave space, on SMN and SCH to turn a ruin 2 into a ruin 3 or broil. Of course the moment you use it for that someone will manage to find a way to die 
I'm not sure if SMN really uses ruin 2 anymore
I use Ruin 2 if I am doing a lot of dodging,
@tawny wind play the trial and see if you enjoy it or not
@humble locust It's downloading now :)
What does it mean when it says the selling price is (Restricted) ?
It can only be bought in a special shop that you need to work to have access to
Usually a beast tribe
Does anyone now what dying grasp theme is called on the market board?
What Angel Wakes Me is the Titania theme
@raven sage thank you
Oh wait that's dying plague oops
Xd
Invincible for dying gasp
Oki ty
dancing plague btw not dying
I should take a nap...

anyone know the japanese name for wooden loft
nvm i found out if you find it in the lodestone then switch from eu to jp
you get the name
whats the most efficient way to get poetics?
Dailies afaik
Is it still worth trying to get into Eureka?
or should I just focus on completing ShB
if you like the relic weapon yes
otherwise you can just ignore it and you should definitely do the MSQ
So, of the Roulettes
Which ones give the most XP?
leveling followed by MSQ
Msq
leveling, alliance, main scenario quest are the big 3
well, leveling if you get a dungeon near your level
since you also get dungeon EXP
otherwise it's practically worthless
leveling's bonus evens it out
Take note that the roulettes, aside from guildhest and Frontline and expect, gives out bonus exp approximately on the time expect to finish the content
For example, you can get Ifrit, Titan, and Garuda normal on leveling roulette, but they give less bonus exp if you rolled dungeons of similar level
mmmm i have to disagree
How much XP does Frontlines give?
i got close to 60% of an exp bar so it's on par for sycrus tower alliance roulette imo
Just do them
Instead of thinking what's more efficient, just do them
Alliance is around 1/3rd of a level
Trial and Raid I want to say less than 1/6 respectively
daily challenge frontline gave me 500k exp out of 800k for a level 50 MNK so
normal raid is absolute shit
it's definitely well worth doing
literally got 50k from it last time I ran it
It is, but it is good to push that final bit
It's worse than just doing fates
or sidequests
All n all, just feeling out since
kinda hit a weird pace
Leveling, ally raid, msq, trials are the really worth ones
MSQ is close to I want to say: 50% and 70% of a bar depending on which dungeon you get?
trials is borderline but it's usually fun
I spent basically a daily rotation of MSQ, Alliance and lvl 50 Dungeons, cus i was farming out Poetics for gear
But now that i finished the Poetic farm, kinda got in this weird mood now
What weird mood?
Whenever to continue leveling, to power grind it, or if to just progress the MSQ already
msq progress is always gtreat
do people grind extreme trials for mounts?
i want a pony but am afraid that the queue times might be too long
they usually grind them if you put up an unsynced party finder
Do I need to unlock Labyrinth of the Ancients or can I queue up with a friend who has it unlocked already?
you need to unlock it
What's the fastest way to get Crystal sand? For anima weapon quest
both of you
How worth it is it to go Scholar?
The Weaver leveling guide I'm reading talks about Courier, I guess it is referring to the tradecraft levequests. What is the courier here?
Apparently I have it unlocked then. Welp.
is it possible to solo the extreme version of arr trials for ponies?
@sturdy mason courier means you take pick up the leve in one city and then take the item it asks to another
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/w/images/thumb/f/fd/Ingenuity_(Guildleve).png/150px-Ingenuity_(Guildleve).png leve plate will look like this
@dusk zenith pretty much all of the ARR Ex trials are soloable, more so at lv80
@twilit arch Can a different card appear over the same levequest each time?
no, the leve will always have the same plate
so Courier card is good for extra exp?
yes, courier and triple turn ins (lets you turn in the item 3 times) are the two leve types you should be doing
oh I've been doing the single turn in ones
60 is doable on some jobs (namely tanks) but personally would just recommend waiting until 80 since it'll be faster
Well courier is going to be single turn in
no, triple turn in asks you "do you want to turn in more items" once you've turn in one
Yeah I recall those but how do you know that's what you're picking up from the quest giver?
interesting ok, so the courier and triple are the only 2 i should focus on?
they're generally the most efficient ones, yeah
So every 5 levels:
- Grab the tradecraft unlock quest
- teleport to the levequest town for that level
- Grab a triple & courier quest
- Complete the unlock quest + craft enough for all turn ins for levequest
that should be enough to get me 5 levels I think?
Btw, for HW onwards, the leve quest NPC just handle the whole 10 levels for that particular expansion
I'm going up to 50 for now
it's been a PITA
Can anyone confirm if my steps above are an efficient way to level ?
I thought unlock is a one off
no there is one every 5 levels
I see
Only advice I have is check the cost of your leve turn in
If a particular tier is too costly to make
You can still level up using leve from the previous tier
Wait,
Tradecraft
That DoH or DoL?
DoH
@keen rivet crystal sand?
The fastest way is crafter and gatherer scripts. (Buy Rowena's tokens from it)

does it matter what retainer class (30+) I choose? DoW/DoM
Oh nvm, found with a search

what are crafting scripts?
How long does the bowl of embers duty queue is? cause 30 mins seems too much lol
you queuing as dps?
what?!
dang. usually tanks and healers queue pretty fast.
Can someone hop into Coriel and help a friend and I on the free trial get into a party?
How do I transfer my character into a new data center?
Anybody currently on Coriel who want to help make a party? lol
what level can i change to DK?
some saying 25 and some saying 30. not sure which one
Dk?
sorry DRK
Lvl 50 and you have to own heavensward expansion
Drk starts at lvl 30 when you unlock it
Ohhh ok, just bought the expansions
if i go from MRD to WAR is there no chance to go DRK after that?
Drk is different job. You can be every job with your character
You can play all jobs in one character
Ohhhh ok, so i can still go for WAR and go DRK later?
Yes
Cool. Ty
how do I get a materia enhanced aoelian scimitar for curtana
You get Aoelian scimitar
Then the materials (Google what's needed)
Then look for Melder NPC
Do i just go to MRD Guild for WAR quests?
Or ask if any crafter is willing to meld for you
You need to hit lvl 30 with MRD
And complete the Slyph Management 
For reference, quest line are continuous.
It doesn't magically jump to a different NPC
Ohhh ok. Thanks a lot for the help
Np, have fun
Also last question sorry. But are DRK secondary tanks? orrr..
Just a note, if you have any questions, try to ask here. If you Google your own info, try to identify the date, anything older than July 2019 might be obsolete
It doesn't work that way
All tanks can be Main Tank and Off Tank
Some are ever so slightly more effective at being MT or OT, but that shouldn't affect how they are played
Yeah i figured google was a bit off. so decided to ask more on here
hey guys, trying to solo potd, how do i deal with the palace skatene (big owl that casts sleep)
I am not familiar with that, so imma let someone else help you
Good luck and have fun, Vive
Thanks so much. Lchronos
To comment a touch more on of/mt
you should throw away those ideas to begin with
in savage, generally both tanks are going to have to tank at some point in time because of tanks swaps
OT and MT is more like a term mid combat. It is not a classification
It is more like a call sign
in easier content (I.e leveling trials), you're generally not going to have to deal with it so it doesn't really matter
"in this phase, MT should pull boss to the north"
but the idea of the "drk being a better OT" is just not worth
because you're probably going to end up tanking in some form or fashion because of tank swaps
Sounds good. thanks for the advice

is there a way to check who i recruited? just got a reward for it but i dont remember anyone i gave a code to
okay so i found the link for "home world transfer" but I want to transfer my data center
how do I do that?
the home world transfer is your way of transferring data centers
because you have to transfer your character to a world on that datacenter
what level are you?
20
Then just go to the main log in screen, hit "data center" and select the one you want to go to and create a new character
home world transfer costs money to do so
Yeah and Im willing to spend money
you can get to lv20 in no time at all
is that my only option?
assuming you made the character on a standard world, you have to wait atleast 3 days before you can transfer
for the triple levequest... is it the initial turn in + 3? Or just +2 and the first one is included in the count?
its 3 total, so initial turn in + 2
thanks
not 100% certain, but 3 days from when you created the character. Is there a specific reason you'd rather pay 18$ to transfer instead of just creating a new character?
I tracked like 20 hours into the game
If I restart ill probably give up
plus im playing along with someone else and I don't want to do extra grinding to catch up
second time around will be less though right? You know where to go to level efficiently and you can also skip the story up to that point?
wait what?
do I get to skip the story or not?
You can just hit ESC
Do I have to do everything again?
You can skip the dialogue and cutscenes up to where you left off
But you have to do it manually
You have to do the actual quests again but will go by faster since you can skip cutscenes, click fast through dialog, you have gone through everything so you know right where to go vs figuring things out
How can I make my retainer a dancer?
How do I remove myself from someone else's friendslist?
You can't remove yourself from someone else's friends list, but you can remove them from yours which should change you to "Unable to Locate" on theirs.
@tough solstice Level it to 60 then purchase a job scroll for 40 ventures from a retainer vocate
@raven sage Can it be any class
Okay now that I am making a new character, is world transfer free?
No
Unless any of them are moving from a congested world to a preferred world no
However if you're all on the same data center, you can use the World Visit system.
And just meet up on one world
Okay
That is free.
mhm as long as you guys don't mind not being in a free company together you can play together as long as you're on the same data center
HoH is only usable for a smaller range of levels
You can't remove yourself from someone else's friends list, but you can remove them from yours which should change you to "Unable to Locate" on theirs.
I just did this and the person still saw me as online and I'm still on their friendslist.
I guess there's no way to remove yourself from someone elses friendslist
Quick question, aren't there multi seat mounts? And at what point can I get one?
What do I do with this cut mochi?
Hello, did they cut some of the MSQ yet?
bytheby
@rose rose multi-seat mounts include several on the Mog Station, the 4-seater Skyslipper that drops from the current raid tier, two two-seater chocobos that come from the recruit-a-friend system, a two-sweater chocobo that comes from getting married ingame with one of the paid wedding plans, a two-seated pegasus from completing 2000 mentor roulettes, and the FFXV Regalia car which currently cant be obtained but may reappear if the FFXV crossover event happens a second time.
Is there any great way to farm out Scrips, or aside the chunk from Custom Deliveries, its mostly just... Rowena?
Rowena turnins are how you farm scrips.
Thanku
@frosty crater no, that’s scheduled for patch 5.3 which should be mid-year, May or June or something.
ty
@opal turret trade it in with the Heavensturn vendor just northwest of the guy who gave you the Heavensturn quest.
Ooh, okay, thanks!
...where might this guy be? 😆
I'm kinda bad w/ remembering such things

I always notice a second star greyed with mount speed, how do I get it?
Gotta purchase the riding maps for each area with hunt currency to unlock max speed
For ARR areas, exchange Allied Seals with the Hunt Billmaster at your Grand Company headquarters
For Heavensward areas, exchange Centurio Seals with one of the older NPCs behind the counter in Ishgard’s tavern
For Stormblood areas, exchange Centurio Seals in Rhalgr’s Reach or Kugane
For Shadowbringers areas, exchange bicolor gemstones rewarded from FATEs with the appropriate vendors in each zone.

It’s less worth it for HW and SB zones since flying is still faster than the max ground speed.
Thankuu
shadowbringers for that last one, and its for tier 1. there is no tier 2 speed for those zones
Sorry I do not remember - when you are max level, which raids become available? Are old raids available in roulette?
Doing the Shadowbringers is nice because the basic speed is so slow
At each previous level cap, there are 8-man easy raids and 24-man raids which are in roulettes.
Savage raids and extreme primals are not in roulettes—you should look to making party finder ads if you want to do those.
do you get anything for running the old raids in savage?
And for ultimate fights your gonna want a static even for the old ones.
oh so it's without level sync?
Yes, people still run them for the armour glamour and mount rewards
People usually run the old savages and extremes unsynced to farm them
But there are some people out there who like to try them synced
Ultimate fights cannot be unsynced.
what job makes silver ingot?
Goldsmith
is there any cosmetic stuff exclusive to ultimate?
glowy weapons and cool titles
nice
What do I spend poetics on? I'm near the end of heavensward, but no clue what to use it on that'll be worth it
Where do I get it?
is dnc improvisation basically sam meditation?
@rose rose get what
The gear
!faq poetics
idyllshire/mor dhona/rhalgr's
oh yeah i forgot we had a command for that
@dark zenith if you'd prefer to search in-game, just got to any major city and use /shout to say you're interested in joining an fc
is there penalties when you die?
No
ty
In dungeon, a 1 min penalty will be applied if you get rez by a party member
Where you do less damage
There is no loss of XP or anything
If it is a full wipe, there is no penalty
Anyone know if replaying MSQ means needing to redo the dungeons?
It does
Dang. Alrighties then. Thanks Lyon
yo how do i get the next drk quest? i'm level 35
Can I get to idyllshire without completing hw?
You have to go there through the MSQ
anybody wanna help me with snowcloak?
no i'm pretty sure you can't buy from the vendors until you complete the MSQ
I'm leveling all DoH jobs, but apparently you can't max out desynth on all of them. Is it better to max a few or get a little bit of everything? And if the former, which jobs should I max desynth on?
yo how do i get the next drk quest? i'm level 35
When you are on your DRK job, your MSQ guide UI should show your next DRK job
So this is wrong?
You can buy it as soon as you get there
I am not so sure about this tbh
If it's a picture then it's very old
No I just screenshotted it
Yeah after I said it I wasn't either
I feel that it would be locked behind the final 3.0 msq
but it's been a minute
Ahhh
no the image is new, I just took it
yeah
oh I see what you mean
It probably slipped through when they updated it but you can max them all
nice
BTW, is there an optimal order to level DoH jobs? I am finding I have to bounce around more when I level others, they have more dependencies
CUL has no interdependency on other crafters
Just keep them at the same ish level
besides gear, that is
Doing them in small intervals will keep you from having to backtrack too much
just level them every 5
I would say more 10
Since they do go quick
Yeah, every 5
not sure how the hell I'm supposed to keep my inventory open during all that
i fill up so fast
Sell potions and ethers
Store stuff you want to keep but are not materials with your retainers
For example: furniture... Umm... Stuffs
Foods I would just sell
sell to NPC?
If you need 3% exp boost from food, you can just buy any cheap NQ food from NPC
Yeah, NPC
Foods and Potions are usually sold to NPC because they aren't in demand in Marketboard
Um doi use dnc improvisation in CD?
improv is for downtime when you don't need to do anything else
So basically like Sam meditation?
yes
Ew
and should I level both BSM and ARM? Or just one? I feel like they both make the same materials for other jobs
It stops once you move so it can't really be used otherwise
ARM makes plates that BSM can't
what I mean is both make the same ingots and stuff
well so far I'm only up to level 8
I think they make another mat but I can't remember what it is
And you draw the conclusion that BSM and ARM are the same from 8 levels worth of recipe
but yes you would still need both
ARM makes CUL tools, PLD shield, armors for various DoW
I didn't mean that as a blanket statement. Hard to phrase my question correctly. I'm trying to see if I can just level BSM for example, to make the materials necessary for the other jobs. And I only ask because the one or two I've seen so far both BSM and ARM could make.
They also make ummm... Waist at higher level, I feel that this is SE way to make armorer more relevant
Probably not
Let me check
Like for example if there was an ingot that only ARM could make I get it
I said they make plates ;-;
Yeah
They make rings too
Sorry Tes, tunnel vision O_O
The only doh I can think of that really does it's own thing is CUL
since even ALC is needed from time to time
CUL indirectly relies on other DoH as it still need to be geared
BSM makes most doh/l tools... so if you only want to level one, I would say go for BSM
ARM makes ALC tools
ALC is kinda important
By transitive properties, ARM becomes kinda sorta important
And BSM makes insert a long list of doh/l tools
What's whack is, a level 14 GSM recipe requires a lvl 25 ALC recipe
you can buy lenses
🤷🏽♀️
53 gil at the Goldsmith guild
Just telling you your options
doing it the "slow painful way" is a good way to get burned out real quick
i would recommend against it
My goal isn't to save money though? It's to level stuff and eventually become self sufficient. Maybe my goal is flawed, I've been mostly doing this on my own and learning as I go
Kk.... as long as you have fun...
I mean there's no wrong way
I am not trying to act like I know everything either. Just explaining what my goal has been. I am worried about getting burned out though. Would love to learn a better way. So basically every 5 levels, just buy the stuff I need either from NPC or MB as needed, don't worry about switching jobs to make dependent mats?
^
Cause gathering/making your own mats really adds up overtime
adds up in what way? Time consumption?
Yeah gauge it on how many you actually need
Or did you mean it in a positive way?
Which is more playable on controller, scholar or summoner?
I will admit it's a pain in the ass when I realize I have to go teleport into the desert and mine more ore
@leaden ginkgo both are playable
honestly they both have a lot of buttons to press
All jobs are playable with controller
Ty refia n well shit
Even with my mindset, I still need to go an hour or two gathering non-cheap/non-npc able mats... It would took too much time and drive me bonkers if I insist on being 100% self sufficient
^
So if you like it, then do it
yeah you make good points. It can only get worse from here. Not even past the level 20's yet. Need to be as lazy as I can
But dont get into the pitfall of "I have to be self sufficient!"
You have to consider opportunity cost too
Sometimes it's better to farm a more expensive Material then selling them to buy a material that's cheaper, rather than gathering the material outrighr
are fates good for leveling?
So Tradecraft Merchant at Ul'dah doesn't have Clear Glass Lens, not sure where to go hunting for it.
right click it and show crafting method
The vendor in the Goldsmith Guild
oh if it's at vendors then that
so is the fastest way to level the leveling duty roulette?
and MSQ
Highest level dungeon spam
well i'm to stormblood with msq, but not high enough level with drk
Spam dungeon and do hunting log or fates in queue
levequests?
or level crafter gatherers
tho with tank or healer you will have fast enough queues to just spam dungeons
do roulettes before you go to bed to get most value from them
how can i make like, a skin appear always on top regardless what gear do i use?or is that not possible
!faq glamourplate
Umm, yes, you can create and design glamour plates from your glamour dresser (accessible from any inn)
Once you linked the plate to a gearset
You will apply the plate whenever you swap to that gearset inside a city
Normal glamour rule still applies
Glamour plate answer "a skin appear always on top"
"regardless what gear do I use" is limited by standard glamour rule
If a gear is marked as All Classes then it can be glamour over anything
You cannot make weaker gear look strong, nor can you make a tank look like a mage
You can only glam items below the item you're wearing
So if you have a lvl 60 healer to
Top
You can only glam lvl60 healer tops or below, or any class tops
Why are some gear not dyable?
Because they aren't
Because they're just not dyable
No specific reason?
No
Because the devs didn't make dye channels for them
Aka too lazy?
In some cases it's a design decision rather than just not prioritizing that in terms of dev time
¯_(ツ)_/¯
The normal mode raid gear is identical to the savage version except the savage version is dyeable
Oh ok
Cause devs didn't bother to check every dye combination for the gear
Is the landking set for gathering worth all the scripts compared to crafted 70 gear?
Artifact armor is also not dyeable by default but has dyeable versions that take more effort to unlock
Yes
Was that to me?
Yes
Ok cool gonna buy it then
Dye is part of glam?
so where do you exactly get skins except maybe optional items?
!faq glamour
You get glamour gear from crafting or drops from duties or exchanged using tokens you farmed
"What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?"
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests "If I Had a Glamour" in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required to unlock Glamour, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest "Color Your World". You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender and choosing "Purchase Items".
"How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?"
Glamouring is done by right clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to have a different look and choosing the option "Cast Glamour". After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest "Absolutely Glamourous", buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or by buying them from the marketboard.
so if i use an item as skin, i lose that item and can't re-use the same skin for other items?
Nope, when you apply the appearance of Item A to Item B, you use up 1 Glamour Prism.
You copy the appearance of item B onto item A
you will still have Item A and Item B, the latter will just now have the appearance of the former.
oops lol
Suffice to say, you're never at risk of losing a piece of gear when working with Glamour
At worst, you might accidentally overwrite an expensive rare dye color, like Pure White or Jet Black
so if my skin is item "A" i can always transfer it elsewhere?
Yes
Yep, once you've used a Glamour Prism to copy its appearance onto something else, you can put the piece away in a retainer or sell it or w/e and the applied glamour will remain.
*Until you re-glamour or dispel the glamour
Can’t sell it to other players though
^
Once you use a piece of gear's appearance or apply another piece's appearance to it, it becomes "bound" to you, so you can no longer trade it away.
Once you copy the appearance of item A onto something else, item A becomes bound to you and untradeable
Jynx you owe me a soda? lol
