go to mor dhona and see lyrdilona has a quest for you
Will do now
noob question: alot's of people says that u can have multiple "jobs" on 1 pg, but what does it acutally mean? ex: i am an arcanist lvl 66 and i know i can chose between sch and smn. Can i be, for example, a Gladiator on my arcanist too?
she does, I'm doing it now. The quests I need to do after this will be in idyllshire -> rhaglr's reach -> finally mowen
If I understand correctly
you do the quest in that jobs guild and get a weapon, equip that weapon and it switches your job
you can use gear sets for faster job switching (with updated gear)
This game allows you to play all combat jobs, all crafters, and all gatherers with 1 character
thanks đ
Think of jobs as PokĂŠmon you collect.
gotta catch em all dude

Moogle Beast Tribe wants a long series of quests complete before you can unlock them
What accessories am i supposed to picked up for NIN?
aiming
Huh weird ok then
not rly weird aiming are the only accessories with dex and nin needs dex its easier for them to group them for more as 1 job instead to give each job their own accessories
they're slowly trying to make all armour multiclass too I feel
they just need a medium/heavy armour type class to share with DRG's imo
and then every piece can be worn by multiple jobs
I would prefer if there were 5 Sets for the 5 Roles
Tank, Healers are ok, BLU Needs to change so that Casters be Normal, MNK DRG NIN SAM should Share STR Set, BRD MCH DNC should be DEX

how big is the e1s arena? if I place eos in the centre, will fey illumination reach everyone including the ranged and healers in delta attack?
@oak spindle its the best place to put it
ok will try that thanks
Is the 1m girl bonus still active and if so do I have to be off the free 30 days or is it ok to still be on the initial free 30 days and buy more time?
the 1mil gil is only for new worlds, of which there are currently none
1m girl bonus
Blame auto
I wish I had a bonus
do i need to be level 60 to unlock yellow scrip deliveries? or is 50 ok?
Custom Deliveries requires a level 60 to unlock. Normal collectable turn-ins just require level 50.
thanks!
is there a way to make it so only my dots show on the 'focus target bar?
Question.
If you buy a marriage package, will the items there be shared by the couple once married?
Sorry, I pressed enter by accident. >.>
The items given at the end of the marriage is decided by the cheapest choice done
so if someone uses the platinum bond and the other uses the free bond then both players will only get the items included in the free marriage
but both players get their own items, yes
Ohhh.
yeah it's a bit clunky that way
So if I buy a package, I hafta remarry again to get the items there?
Yeah
Aww.
Need help with garuda
if both of you buy the platinum package then you both get all the items
is it worth getting a deepshadow weapon?
If you're not planning on clearing hades extreme or titan savage, I'd say so yea
i have a question for samurai players
when you start doing the wrong sen combo
is it better to finish the combo and not add to the gauge or to restart the right combo?

[1 sen - dot then 3 sen - midare] loop is sam basic
If you get the combo order wrong, thats fine as long as you do the 1 3 1 3 1 3
Restarting would cost you more dps than if you push on 
Then say you, somehow, accidentally make 2 sen when u havent apply dot (1), just continue to 3 (then 1 after)
my hotbar is
definitely not 1 2 3 anymore but i think i get it thanks
ok then im definitely lost
I think I get you wrong... so you mean if say, you already have flower
right
And you accidentally start on making another flower?
So if I'm AST LV 50 in a dungeon and a tank is dipping to half hp constantly during a fight do I just apply heal dot to him and spam benefic 2 over and over?
I would say just continue @ rumpie
yeah like i already have the pink part of the gauge filled and i start doing the pink combo again
i should finish it then do the next combo then
Though if you only have flower (1 sen) and doesnt need to re-apply dot, you can nom sen then finish the flower (or if dot timer is low, reapply dot then continue)
gott it 

Hagakure is your oh shit button
samurai is hard mode dragoon btw
thanks 
Healing leveling is very... subjective/case to case since you get all sort of different tanks&conditions...
Just keep them alive, deals damage as much as you can, and you're good
I was able to get the bomb palanquin mount from the kobold vendor without even unlocking the beast tribe
Is it glitched?
Or is this normal?
was the mount available from any other source?
Yes, the Moogle tomestones of Philosophy
Ok then i mustve gotten it from there then not the kobold vendor
Mmm
most likely
Hey so i finally finished up ARR Main quests
Should i keep going through the story as importantly or is there stuff i should do before going into the next expansion?
Nothing important yet. There are really nice side stuff you can do like the 24-man raid and other
things
If you care about story stuff both Binding Coil of Bahamut and Crystal Tower are recommended
But nothing important
But there's nothing like, gameplay mandatory.
Yeah what Lyon said
When you say you finished ARR does that include the patch quests?
Nope going into them this weekend
Right well
There is one important gameplay thing for you to do
The main story eventually gets locked behind doing Ifrit Titan Garuda hard mode fights which are obtained from the Waking Sands in a
quest chain
Note: the hard mode fights are not hard
Havent really incountered anything too hard up till now
I guess ill start up a new class to go through
stuff
Only have a bard and a level 15 Mrd
You can unlock Red Mage and Samurai now assuming you have the expansions
They start at 50
aren't really worth your time purely for exp efficiency
Kinda rushed through ARR
Do them if you want to.
Tbh though unless you're on a preferred server I'd just do it on your main job, you're not going to overlevel that bad
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!
You should absolutely do those
though
You should have done them
They are good
(minus the class unlock and leve ones)
The most imporatnt
for me was glamour
Cause now i look good
Cant play without fashion
Well thanks for the tips
ill continue the Story with my Bard and with my Mrd ill do
stuff
how often do you guys change out gear for your retainers? is every 10 levels enough?
whenever i hit an ilvl/gathering stat requirement
how do i get other classes other than my main class?
is that what all the red bubbles are for @-@
look for this that say "so you want to be [class name]"
You need to first complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class
ohh ok
is there a limit to how many other classes i can take
or can i just be like
everything
nope, you can be everything
is the starter edition worth it atm
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!
whether its worth is up to you. Starter edition is just the base game so if you're on trial and are annoyed by the restrictions then yeah it'd be worth
Starter Edition is the base game, you need it in order to play (unless you're currently still on the trial version)
or you can buy the Complete Edition, which is basically Starter + Shadowbringers and usually sells for the same price as buying those two separately
@proud willow I see becz like i don't have 60$ atm but I wanna play thru to atleast some part of the end game?
starter edition is only to level 50 and the end of a realm reborn
Then yeah, there is nothing wrong with buying the Starter Edition first and then buying Shadowbringers later when you can afford it
you won't be able to take part in the current endgame but there are still many dungeons and trials at level 50 that were a part of the endgame from years ago
greatest difference is unable to start as one of the expansion races, else theres little difference between the 2 editions at the start
I see
But it's ok right?
Does the starter edition come w free subscription for the first month?
I think I'll go up to lv35
Yes
Then buy the starter edition
Then hope for a sale
For the complete edition
Thanks for the advice guys
well if you own the starter edition
no point in buying complete, just buy shadowbringers at that point
oh
ok
thats smarter aint it
alright
i guess ill do that then
cz the GAME HAS ME HOOKED
i just dont have enough for everything
whats the per month subscription fee
Assuming you go entry which you should unless you are a prolific alt character maker like me
Uhh
!faq subprice
Oh nice faq
Thereâs also subpriceEU.
That infographic tells you
I see okay
^
Entry is cheapest per month but is on par with the 180 day standard sub
If you buy standard sub in bulk it matches entry price
Still donât know why people need alt beside raid đ
To play with friends in different datacentres
Playing in different datacenters
Or to RP
Also I use it to play as different races aka RP yeah
With difficulty is the honest answer
I mean
Youâre telling us you love it and youâre hooked
Since we play it we probably also find it worthwhile
Sooo
Gotta make your choice
I just kinda worry cz so many games I felt were good but then bought n no one played
Or like wasnt worth the purchase
Oh population
U guys think it's worth?
Game is thriving tbh
Itâs still growing which is nuts
You wonât see folks out in overworld zones though
Not much anyway
Thatâs just not where people are at.
Server population matters little since you can world visit within your datacentre with very few limitations.
And server populations are fairly balanced anyway apart from a few high pop outliers (which are locked for character creation anyway)
Yes
Oh ok whew
Crystal is known for RPers and has a less active endgame raiding scene
Itâs very populated though.
Is there any reason not to use minor arcana on AST?
Once youâve got your seals lined up for the next divination
No unless you trying to get the seal for divination
you should be using minor arcana when you've got 3 seals lined up
You minor arcana everything.
No, Minor Arcana doesnât give seals
Play the cards normally until you have three seals
Then divination, or minor arcana until divination is available

So I'm really bad at timelines and stuff, am I correct in this interpretation of the timeline: Sharlayans lived and thrived for X amount of time, then when the Levellieur twins were infants, Garlemald invaded their homeland so they flew off to somewhere else and let Garlemald just kind of take the country. (Matoya was a stubborn hag so she instead went underground.) Then the twins grew up in the new Sharlayan.
Nooo
nope
@vernal surge From what I understand, Minor Arcana is basically for dumping cards if you already have 3 diff seals and don't want to mess them up.
the sharlayan in the hinterlands is just a small group from sharlayan homeland itself
Not that small
I'll let Lyon do it
Go Mr Lore mentor, you know the dates better than I
I feel so bad, I can't do timelines to save my life, I just started SB and can barely remember what happened after what in HW
small group compared to the sharlayan homeland itself, cal
I spent like half an hour thinking that Y'shtola was already back from ||the Lifestream|| when the Scions relocated to Mor Dhona
(Old) Sharlayan is an island nation in the seas northwest of Eorzea which has existed for nearly 1500 years and is still going strong. A little over 200 years ago, they established a colony on the Eorzean mainland, in the Dravanian Hinterlands. In time this grew to be a city on par with the other Eorzean city-states. This city was also called Sharlayanâfor simplicityâs sake Iâll refer to it as New Sharlayan.
Both Sharlayans existed at the same time.
ooooh
Sharlayan is pacifistic to an extreme degree, so when the Empire came knocking on Eorzeaâs doorstep 20 years ago and annexed Ala Mhigo Sharlayan didnât like the look of it much.
They sent peace negotiators but they had no effect.
So 15 years ago New Sharlayan finished their preparations, packed up and just left.
Abandoned their almost 200-year-old colony and returned to Old Sharlayan in the northern seas.
They were never actually invaded.
They just saw invasion happening like three nations over and noped out.
Guess who had another one of her AU fanfics destroyed by canon T.T
Alphinaud and Alisaie came from Old Sharlayan.
Nah
Wew
yeah but the plot required Garlemald to actually invade New Sharlayan
I thought it was mentioned but that's not exactly a point for this channel I suppose
But i thought in some cutscene Alisaie or Alphinaud said their home were in dravanian hinterlands
They did live there but to be fair living there =/ being born there
Iâll look into that
But that should really go to #archived-lore-spoilers or something. Not this channel anyway
sorry haha
are there any comprehensive docs guide for raid/dg for tank?
that list every mechanic of each dg in the most tl;dr way
generally speaking non-savage raids and dungeons are simple enough that you should be able to figure out how they work by just winging it
with that being said, Mizzteq has a pretty good series of guides if you don't feel confident in your blind reading skills
(Update: Alphinaud and Alisaie were born in the Hinterlands colony indeed. That will be all)
Is the daily reset at 10AM EST now and not 11AM EST anymore?
yes
When did that change?
the reset time is "the same" but now Daylight Savings is in effect so it's one hour earlier
because clocks
I see. Thank you
that's the limit of the trial, but once you're on the full game the msq goes all the way til max level
Yes
focus the story, yes
Also do
since they unlock stuff (though you can hold off on doing "Levemetes of X" and "So you want to be X")
Leves, unlocked via the levemetes, aren't that great for combat jobs and the "So you want to be X" are class unlocks (but do them if you want to unlock that class ofc)
i see
so basically do all of those to unlock all the things i guess
đ
tenks guys

Quite new to ffxiv here. Just finished my level 50 job quest and got "Wyrm's Armor Coffer". The only problem is the "use" function is greyed out. I tried almost everything up to the point where I give all my armor/gear to my retainer, restarted my pc (for some reason idk just didn't wanna go down without a fight lol), as well as opening it in a city. Send help
is it the actual coffer or the quest item you're supposed to turn in to then be given the job armor?
is it in your key items?
if it's in your key items, it's the quest item
I have the full drachen armor already
wait
@dim ridge
Oh it's by the 3rd row, 4th column
What am I supposed to see?
Thats the only way to get the coffer
close your saddlebag
You're trying to put it into your saddlebag
you gotta have that closed

What is the quickiest way to level from 58 to 60
Highest level dungeon spam or PotD
u could do your daily roulettes too, like leveling, alliance, msq they give good exp
is i450 pentameld better than the i460 for crafted combat gear?
The difference is so minor that it isn't worth it
ah alright, thanks!
is there a way to always have carbuncles instead of the fairies as summoner?
You can unlock Egi Glamour once you reach level 50 as a Summoner
where do i find lv. 36-40 mobs in open world?
the copied factory, is that something that is fine to queue for without experience?
460
@frosty badger Coerthas Central Highlands has some

Hey, I am completely new. I am leveling a druid (lvl 12 right now). does it make sense to lvl her or is druid a bad choice for a new player?
It's a nice starter class and a great healer for beginners
As long as you're taking the time to learn what your buttons do you're fine
alrighty, ive played druid in wow too, sooo I just had to create one here too
Other than NMs is there a way to get crystals in Hydatos?
I heard you could from mobs higher level than you even once you reach the cap.
a question about potd
which would be the best way to farm aetherpool?
@kind cobalt Solo?
or solo in group id do 1-10 but worried silver chasts arent as often at those floor
Solo 1-10 is your best option to 99 pool
that cant be as pool are capped...
You basically need around whatever floor you're attempting +5-10 pool to clear it
You can definitely cap it like that
Umm wut? Is the auto equip drunk?
Auto equip has trouble sometimes
But
Aetheryte earring at lv80?
Doesnât the exp boost stop at 70
At which point you should have Scaevan stuff
At least
Like I can maybe see having some Scaevan stuff at 80
Like one or two pieces of right side gear but the game throws gear at you during MSQ
I'm in quite of a pickle here.
I'm trying to log into my account, don't remember my password (autofill is incorrect)
and I got a new phone so I can't put in the One Time Password.
To reset my password I need a OTP, and to reset the OTP I need my password.
Anyone have an idea on what to do? I can keep guessing my password but I'm already at the "locked for several minutes" stage.
Do a chat with SE support
Last time I needed to remove my OTP it took about 3 minutes
will running a dungeon for msq unsynced count it?
yes
cool ty
@robust magnet Yeah if you can't remember your emergency removal password contact SE
Alright, I'll try there. Thanks. 
Like literally they just sent me an email with a link and that was it
IIRC
But I also knew my password so they may ask for something else
Hmm I'll need to wait till tomorrow, says they're not available on Sunday.
I'll bookmark and try then. Thanks guys.
Yeah they don't do weekends
You donât still have your old phone do you
If you did and the app was still installed it probably still works
Nah I reset it and traded it in last month.
What other questions did they ask, or was the password the only one? Fox.
@drifting nymph
It doesn't, you can only get aetherpool levels on floors that is half of your aetherpool level, so once you get to 21, floor 1-10 won't work anymore for aetherpool levels.
HoH is Floor/4 afaik.
For me all they needed was me to log in with my password
I imagine they might ask your security questions or something
Okay, they'll probably have me answer the typical reset questions, reset the password then do that or something.
Thanks again

for SAM, is there any way to track meditation stacks like on the job gauge?
No
You can probably just mess with your UI and make the buff window bigger
or you could probably set up a audio reminder with certain....programs
plzdontbanmeSE! D:
Where can I find ppl to advance meld my materia?
ask around in your FC first, they're more likely to be trustworthy
are you in an FC? theres probably someone with crafters there
but yeah, just /shout in any major hub city
You can't exactly get cheated in with advanced melding
But sure ask the FC chat first since that's less annoying
Holyshit /shout was instant
Yep
All you really need is your crafting classes sufficiently levelled up and there are plenty of people who have them levelled
is there higher odds for items like rings and necklaces to show up in dungeon chests over things like boots and such?
no
I can't apply glamour across classes for the same race can I?
For class-specific glamour
Correct
The glamour stuff has to actually be equippable by the job you're trying to put it on
So you can't put a black mage only hat on a dragoon
Is there anything that looks like this for WHM Miqote Female? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Republican_Signifer's_Fingerless_Gloves#Miqo'te
Is that the only one?
yep
Cool thanks
Did they remove the feature to see armour that uses the same model over on garlandtools.org ?
I swear that used to be a thing but I can't find where the option is
how should i cont lvling? im lvl 32 and the next msq dung is 35 ;-; wtf?
Either the item doesn't have any gear with similar model
or its one of those weird items that for whatever reason doesn't show up
oh I was using links rather than default. I am superdumb
@leaden ginkgo Generally your best option is just whatever dungeon is highest out of the ones you have
theres also Palace of the Dead (thats probably more trouble than its worth right now)
Fates in the open world (kinda slow) and levequests (also a little slow)
the shared models list isn't perfect
ty !!!!!
after you do the daily leveling roulette
yeah but its helped me a few times
I've encountered items where something is listed as a shared model on one item, but not on the other
imma cry XD
ohright. yes do daily leveling roulette
ok đ ty!
every day.
every day you play
Is there some site showing which server is better for which timezone?
I'm new and in NA PST (california) timezone, and would like to start on a server that sorta fits that.
don't force yourself to play
Not really.
all servers in a data center are in the same location
Any NA server would be fine
so really the best you can do is pick the nearest continent
thats probably not what Mai means Jet
I think they mean like active during X time period
They wanted to know about timezone activity
yeah but the answer is the same
which would mean don't join a JP server as an american running regular american hours
What silver said - mostly about the population.
But yeah all the NA servers have the same activity
cause the server will have massively reduced player activity
no one in Siren is like "okh it's 10 o clock on the east coast time for bed"
yeah but ok
X3
ty ! also this is like a side question but what can i do with old armor that either goes to 0 or i outlevel since i cant sell to the shops?
guarentee you its dead as heck my dude.
Don't want a dead server. >.<
What do you mean "goes to 0"?
None are dead
if you can't sell it you can either a) toss it or b) save it for if/when you level another job in the same role
well yeah not "dead" but massively reduced active population
ok ty^^
because everyone would be asleep that that point
exactly. just join a datacenter which matches your timezone
and you'll have active players
aka: don't come over to the JP centers if you're currently in the US. You've got your own batch of servers
i already said all that >:V
and y'all said i didn't understand the question
<:V
I didn't think you misunderstood I just wasn't sure if you worded the way you meant it
Your advice was still sound
something is up, like I dont know how to explain it, but every time I play I feel like the game is glitching out like, like as i keep walking something feels like the game glitches out and my characters pauses, and wont move till I press the W key again.

ive noticed a lot more hrothgar and viera appearing in towns every passing month. Must mean much more people are getting the expansions and subs right?
Eh not really. It just means more people are wanting to be that race
Ether that or there changing there races.
I wouldn't call that indicative of more people picking up the expansion or sub
Does anyone know the name of a Chocobo Orchestrion roll? this one had a very Home feel to it.
No, this one sounded very different, it had a cozy home feel to it.
Thansk anyway.
Does anyone know what this decor is?
Tysm
Fastest way to level a DPS class is PoTD if you're solo right?

Is there a way to disable retainer dialog?
No
The only job that actually gets offhand past level 50 is Paladin
Which is a shield
(excluding crafting and gathering)
I see
Jobs like ninja is just one weapon slot but just gives you that weapon in both hands
thanks!
How do I get the skyfire 2 book?
I finished everything but the leves in my skyfire 1 book
you have to finish all of skyfire 1 before you can safely exchange for another
Where would I exchange it?
The miqo'te girl you bought the first book from
thxs
How can I start doing quest or leves for Rurubana?
He doesnât even have a quest symbol

Which class did you start as? @leaden ginkgo
@obsidian patio Dragoon, still only playing that class
Check and see if you have unlocked Leves for Bentbranch in central shroud
That one unlocks all of the leve unlock quests for players that started in Gridania
Does it have anything to do with that free company thing in New Gridania?
No
Ugh
I wish I would have friends to play with, starting this game and playing by myself is way too much
Is there a way to have the same item with different dyes saved in glamour dresser? Beside buying it twice of course
kinda
You can have a piece of gear, put it on a plate and dye it there and that dye is saved for that piece of gear for that plate. You could then put it on another plate for example and dye it another colour and the plates would have two different dyed versions of the same glove for example
That's the only way you can really have two different dyes of the same piece of gear without just getting it twice
Hmmm i see i see
And then i gotta make sure to never take it off that plate or put a different item
lol
if one of the dyes is really expensive (like Pure Black), put that one on the item itself
and then change it to something else on one of the plates
^
Oh well
RIP then
But i see what u mean
Pick your poison then
stop liking nice things
Is there a way to move house with ease, or do I have to sell my house, find a new plot, buy it, set it all up, etc?
If there is a plot you want to move to, and itâs open for sale, you can use the âmove existing houseâ option
Iâm not sure if you need to take down all of your decorations first or not though
I believe you do, but as Iâve never actually owned a house, I donât know for sure
All I know is that moving house has a priority over new buyers
you don't, unless the items in your house would make you exceed the 400 indoor, 40 outdoor limit
@obsidian patio canât even do the leves here
Hmm, check the Gridania adventurers guild and see if thereâs a quest there
@obsidian patio what kind of quest, there are a lot of quests in here
What happens if you talk to the levemete there?
I FOUND IT AFTER SEVERAL HOURS
I am so done
@obsidian patio thanks a lot for your help
in PF what does [Duty Incomplete] mean?
Does it mean we don't care if it is complete, or that it requires players not having completed it to be allowed to join?
2nd one
oh then I definitely don't want that for an E1S practice group. Need some experienced players
What is the most ideal elements to place your magicite in for Eureka?
All of them in one.
The rest in the one opposite
You can rotate the wheel as needed for the monsters youâre killing
^
But by placing them in opposite elements you get max attack and defence
Assuming you are rotating the wheel properly
Note that opposite in this context means the element two spots to the left or right of the first element.
will there be new gears/item lvls next patch?
As in bye bye old ones
and then the gear those tomestones bought for go to the hunt vendor
Following previous examples
Goetia will become unobtainable, Phantasmagoria will become uncapped, and the new tomestone will be the next weekly cap
Yeah
and goetia will be able to be exchanged for phantasmagoria tomestones albeit at a trashy rate
@obsidian patio @wintry chasm Ty
is it worth trying to grind out gear before the change?
Youâll probably need i450-i455 at minimum to do most of the new content besides the dungeon so maybe
How many combat classes can be leveled at the same time on first time going through story? Without going out of my way to do extra leveling
Are you on a preferred server?
Yes
Does time per level go way up?
it isnt difficult to keep mutliple classes around the same level while going through msq
Well I'm clearing out quests from zones as msq takes me there
as long as you dont mind doing the same dungeons
So I'm 29 and msq is lv 19 or so
They said without additional leveling @dusk zenith
ohhhh
I think repeating content to keep up to level counts as extra leveling
but like, during the 50/60 patch stuff you could very easily swap to an expansion job and soak up some XP there and not really lose out Degenerate
That's why I say 1 and a bit
Do you folks recommend keeping a bunch of different level gear for classes you haven't leveled yet (as you level the first time through MSQ) ? I've been doing that 50+ but it's really starting to fill up the inventory.
that bit from the patch quest xp soaking
I would hoard every piece but just keep a nice sort of...ladder where you have pieces when you should start replacing them. There is no harm in hoarding them either but if your retainers can't take anymore just...stop
so you don't need every piece at every level but for example I'd have my level 50 gear, level 55 gear, level 57 gear, level 60 gear
I don't need 51-54, 56, 58-59 gear
I keep wondering how people even store gear for all their jobs
ahh gotcha
but you still have different gear per job (in a role) at max though right? wouldn't that take up a lot of space?
It does influence my decision making
"oh I only have bard left of the aiming jobs? Ah just level that so I can trash all my aiming gear"
Oh don't get me wrong it takes a up a ton of space by keeping leveling gear
The Armoury only really gets crowded for weapons and rings for the most part
but at max that all fits in your armoury chest
What lv to get first class to before starting others? I was told 50 before doing crafting.
In terms of only having level 80 sets

That's silly advice
You can do other classes when you want
There is no real "you should do X before Y"
Thanks all
Yes but does it make it easier if I have a main at higher lv
Not really
It's a bit nice to have some gil when you start crafting
Not hugely necessary
but nice
And that's about it
So there's no msq or area locked things I can use to lv other classes faster?
For the most part correct
In fact
Sure that's correct
minus crafting
doing patch 3.3 unlocks this crafting thing that is really good for leveling crafters all the way up
i would unlock potd before trying to level alt classes
but you get that very early on
Patch 3.3 is when
right, tanks and healers you can just do dungeons for xp
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you donât have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead youâll be running floors 21-30 instead.
It's this boring thing that's really really good xp for DPS jobs
If you can get into dungeons quickly as a DPS dungeons are faster though
for that reason tanks and healers prefer just doing highest level dungeon spam anyway
Since they have fast queues
I'm having an issue with summoner. Whenever I cast 'Fountain of Fire' in Firebird Trance it targets my pet afterward for some reason and I have to re-target the enemy EVERY time. Anyone else had this kind of issue and can help? I have the 'Disable Targeting of Pets and Minions When in Battle' checked so I don't know why it's happening.
At what lv is dungeon faster? Since the low lv ones would have a longer que I assume
did you accidentally target it before and aren't reconfirming the target as the enemy?
for the most part, dungeons have very fast queue as long as youre healer/tank
because you can have a main target on something, target something else and do something, and it snap back to the main target
Instantly @upbeat storm
also regardless of your role you want to do roulettes every day
Do I need dungeons unlocked for roullt? Only have access to 2 so far
2 is all you need for leveling roulette
the most imoprtant roulette for leveling is msq and leveling
the most important one arguably
Nope not targeting the summon at all. Starting fight by targeting enemy and doing Ruin III.
you get msq at 50
after completing the main msq
I've never done a dungeon before. How long does Sastasha take?
Yeah I can't find anything on the internet about it
dungeons take like, 10-15 mins?
Ok, that's pretty quick, I can commit to that right now. Thank you.
DPS queues to get in though can take a while since everyone plays DPS
I should have said that sooner tbh
Augmenting my ironworks for glam purposes, what do I need to augment all of it?
generally, carbontwine and carboncoat
Carbontwine for the left-side, carboncoat for the right side
How big a pain in the ass is the anima weapon questline? I got the awoken weapon and not sure I wanna continue
Itâs basically a giant poetics grind if anything
Youâll need 9-10k+ poetics at minimum to complete the whole thing
Yeah think I'll pass then
Is there anything else you can apply to your gear/weapon besides jsut a bunch of materia?
Not really
... glams?
^aesthetic stuff
No weapon enchants or oils or cool utility gadgets?
Nope
First time through MSQ - is there any reason to keep unidentified allagan tomestones/sands of time/oil of time
Not really
Not really, theyâre for outdated gear sets
gotcha thanks
@rin technicallyyyyy, some gears can be upgraded (like 50/60/70/80 tomestone stuff can be upgraded to 'augmented')
Yeah but that's not really applying something to your gear
That's just...turning your weapon to a stronger weapon
I'm confused. If buying the expansion pack Shadowbringers, do I need to also buy the base game/starter edition..?
Or does buying the latest expansion also cover the base game?
In the store, it doesn't say anything about "includes base game" but it also does not say "need base game to play."
Shadowbringers does not include the base game.
You also need the base game
The store page ought to say that somewhere
How to buy the base game? Is it called the starter edition?
Only the complete edition includes both starter and expansion
Ok, thank you. :3
That went well! I didn't lose enmity once.
what does arcanist turn into?
how does that work?
It gets two job crystals instead of one
oh okay
As they are both based on Arcanist, when you gain XP on either, you're gaining Arcanist XP. So both jobs are always the same level
and you just choose?
Ideally you'd go ahead and create two different gearsets to switch back and forth easily
if you plan on playing both

sorry for asking so many questions but can you use the glamour carbuncles with both classes?
No, only Summoner
If I'm grinding floors 51-60 PoTD, is there a point to getting my aetherpool gear higher than +71?
yes, but the chances get lower and lower the further you get closer to the max ap level
if your ap gear is synced in those floors it has a lower chance of getting an upgrade ^^
I glamoured a piece of gear with another, then used an expensive dye on it directly (not through the dresser) .. is there a way to save that piece of glamour or restore the dye?
No since you would have to have dyed the item you glamoured to for it to save
Always put things in the dresser and dye them there
The plate dye can be erased when you overwrite the plate
computer did the die and i had to reset my macros
any idea why this might be spamming the chat when i use it (thankfully i switched to party chat when i was in a empty party cuz I thought i would mess something up. its been a while since i did this lol)

Can low level player enter fashion week at the golden saucer?
I think you can join as soon you can go to the gold saucer
Trying to get this fishes, anyone knows where they are?
have you caught every fish on the map?
Yeah, the log is complete
also some fish can only be caught through truth of the ocean
With spearfishing? The thing don't even know the zone they are xD
yes
So just try with truth of the ocean untill they came out? Any hint?
just have truth of the ocean on and catch around 10 of a certain fish
Try looking here
Oh no, not that specific fish, I'm lookinf for the ones I'm missing
Fishing logs are complete but no hint about those ones
Oh oops
My bad for not explaining it well xD
On the Crossbar, is there a way to get rid of the âEditâ button in the middle, without completely locking the Crossbar?
Like I wanna be able to edit my Crossbars using the touchpad on PS4 but I donât need the tooltip there to remind me.
Those of you who level multiple combat classes, when do you find the time to do so? Particularly those who join later, and you have so much story to get through, when did you put on the brakes and do a different role?
I figure it isn't too bad if I can a second class to the point that I can do the daily level grind with it.
You can pick up one of the higher level classes, such as Samurai or Red Mage at 50, so you've essentially skipped 1-50 with your 2nd class
Saves a lot of time
Ah, that's a good idea.
Especially because I've liked the idea of Red Mages for some time, but find them quite lacking in the games I've played.
Me personally I am playing through MSQ as PLD with my wife and I do my daily levequests on my DRG so that helps too
Managing to stay ahead of MSQ level on my PLD so far though only level 33
I am excited for Red Mage too đ Looks fun
Sounds cool to play through with another person.
I'm a PLD too! Some people call me boring but hey, I like to tank, and it seems fun in MMOs (this my first one).
Lower skill ceiling maybe, but I don't intend to play so long and hard I'd reach those haha
What I do is Iâll go through the msq with a single job, then slowly level other jobs one at a time
I love the class fantasy of Paladin, which is funny because I hated it in WoW
Feels more like a protector in FFXIV so far
I keep getting an error code (17) and I've did all that was recommended and I still end up crashing
upon entering the crystarium
Is Paladin not a protector in WoW? Crazy.
Does buying 30 days add on to the free trial days or does it overwrite them?
adds on
Ok
oh wait free trial
?
The free trial goes until you buy the game
So if you mean the free 30 days that come with the base game then yes they add on but otherwise you're not on the free trial
how do I fix this. I cant load in anymore
So with Wondrous Tails, the level 50 and 70 dungeons. They have to be exactly level 50 or 70 to count? Or âat leastâ 50 and 70? Iâve gotten level say, 51 and 53 dungeons in Roulette and not gotten WT credit. Is that a bug or am I missing something?

Wait, is my class locked at level 50 because I need to finish the level 50 class quest, because I need to buy the expansion, or both?
@broken pasture need to buy the expansions to raise the level cap
Man, buying the expansion and then the monthly games. Hm, this is true decision time.
Does anyone know if this chest can be worn by players in game? đ¤
Thatâs the level 66 top for caster/healer/aiming
Oof I was off then, my bad
I haven't really played since late 2013/early 2014. I guess I missed a lot. Should I try to replay my level 28 character or just start over?
Continue
Starting over is boring because you remember doing it before
Then you just quit again and wasted your time
I barely remember anything haha đŚ
I joined coeurl right around when it was an "rp server" along with Balmung I don't know if that is still the case for them
It might be now since coeurl and balmung are quarrantined together on crystal
What does quarantined mean?
I think I'm pretty far behind hahaha level 26 I believe was my highest.
Also is Square Enix still very touchy about playing the Trading Market?
I havenât heard of anyone getting in trouble for playing the marketboard
Sorry joking. Coeurl and balmung got shifted to their own datacentre
Coeurl not on aether anymore.
Ahh.
@obsidian patio I had a lot of gil strpped from me because I tried to corner a market in the first few weeks of launch
lol what
SE actually punished you for capatalism
also whats the suggested way to start lving a new combat class
after your first
They reversed a lot of their decisions. Reddit was kind of on fire in the first few months over it.
For low levels itâs mainly sidequests, the hunting log, and fates
And then once you can do dungeons you can spam them and do the daily leveling roulette
Thereâs also Palace of the dead which is a grindy way of leveling up
!faq potd

i thought i was supposed to save leves for crafting
How low level are you talking?
like from 1 till fist set of dungeons
Then sidequests/hunting log/ fates
Have you done your hunt logs if itâs an ARR base job?
im not at the point where i would have cleared out side quests of starting areas for ARR jobs
but was just wondering what to do when it got to that point
also how out of the way should i go to complete hunting logs
Until like lvl15 lol
Only for the first 10-20 levels really
Wyn do you know any shoes in game that have a lot of belts
None that I can immediately name
Hunt logs donât really have value for their specific jobs after you outlevel them
So itâs always worth doing them while youâre in the right range
so Im starting to do pvp with my friend to get le armors and all
but on my WHM, several abilities are crossed out, while my friend who is also WHM has them, why?
I find it really cool that they gave me 5 free days to reexplore this game
Sorry another question don't mean to be annoying. Which realms have the RP population? Is it still Balmung and Coeurl?
PVP skills are entirely different from PVE skills
Character > PvP Profile for your PvP actions
oh wow, ok
@sterile jolt Mainly Balmung and Mateus nowadays, though all of crystal is pretty decent for RP due to world visit
thanks!
Thank you! I decided to start over because I don't recall anything.
It actually apepars my last login date according to my email subscription history was 2013... D:
I also apparently bought a collector's edition so I'm glad about that

is SHB meant to be the last expansion?
Do Date of Births matter much for characters?
no
@clear bronze no
They have no effect
And no ShB is not meant to be the last expansion
Game is still going strong
Growing even
No it isn't going to be the last expansion
They've already confirmed they're working on the next one
sorry wrong link @clear bronze https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/b2zry2/do_you_think_shadowbringers_will_be_the_last/eiw2m20/
I noticed there were new races added over the years did they add new classes too?
dancer was added in the last one im pretty sure
!faq expacjobs
Heavensward Expansion Jobs: Dark Knight (Tank), Astrologian (Healer), and Machinist (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 30 and require ownership of the Heavensward Expansion and the completion of the level 50 main scenario quest "Before the Dawn".

Stormblood Expansion Jobs: Red Mage (Caster DPS) and Samurai (Melee DPS). These jobs start at level 50 and require ownership of the Stormblood Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 50.
Quest Unlock Locations: Red Mage - Ul'dah(14,17). Samurai - Ul'dah(9,9).
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Quest Unlock Locations: Gunbreaker - New Gridania (11,11). Dancer - Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12).
Thank you!
I want to see if I recall this right: Play whatever you want, if you don't like it just level up your other class, and you can easily switch while remaining your current character?
and at a higher level you pick a "job" to specialize in?
Thank you! Now I'm trying to decide on range or dps. REading up on the new jobs now đ
Ooh wow Dancer sounds interesting
Sorry I know sometimes you have to have certain classes leveled. Which class would be for Dancer that I'd need to level up?
so is there an incentive for me to do all normal quests in Norvrandt?
None for dancer @sterile jolt
Thank you Lyon! Now to decide what to level until that level then đ I appreciate the help!
Base classes are only a requirement for ARR jobs, i.e. jobs that start at level 1
Expansion jobs start at higher levels and have no base class requirement
For the jobs that require base classes, the job is just an extension of the class
You basically just get a name upgrade, from a gameplay point of view
So lancer becomes dragoon
Dragoon still has all the lancer skills and starts getting more skills that are thematically to do with dragoon
Itâs just the continuation
Thank you! That is starting to make sense.
Sorry another dumb question... I see my start zone if I choose LAncer to be Gridania, is there any way I can change that to like Limsa or Ul'dah?
awwh
Marauder and arcanist start in Limsa; gladiator, pugilist and thaumaturge start in Ulâdah; lancer, archer and conjurer start in Gridania.
Your starting city only affects the first 15 levels of the story though
Which is only a few hours of playtime
I want to start in Limsa but play lancer I guess I'll just eat the tree zone. thank you!
Can just pick to start in Limsa
Play marauder for a few hours
And then switch to lancer when youâre able to travel between cities
Thanks! I'll do that đ
Just depends on which you prioritiseâstarting in your preferred city or starting as your preferred class. Neither choice has ramifications beyond the first 15 levels
thank you! I'll try that shot! Thank you Lyon I appreciate it!
apparently my starting realm is full (with my other character) time to decide on a new one \o/
@queen merlin pretty sure not
Mateus/Balmung are full. I think I'll give Coeurla shot and hope it has a good RP community đ

can someone give me a tl;dr on how raid loot works in this game
if i get fragments from normal raids currently, am i allowed to get more fragments before a weekly reset?
Normal raids currently donât have a weekly lockout
But when the lockout is active you can grab one token per instance per week
oooh there's an exp bonus for using the less populated worlds? đŽ
and savage is 1 piece of armor per week per instance correct
1 piece of armor + 1 token
so you can claim loot from both normal and savage in the same week?
Yes and thereâs more weirdness with chest lockouts depending on your group
Yes normal and savage lockouts are unrelated to one another
I'm in the game now! Thank you @jade quartz
ok i think i get it now

One piece of gear per week
o.ob got it
And you get a token too
i saw mr happy put out a video on raid gear and its like.. 18 minutes long
i was not about to watch that i knew it was not that deep
Thatâs typical of Mr Happy really
not to be shady to him but i just needed those quick answers
didn't need a 20 minute lecture onraid loot
but its all good ty for the help
The part that needs special explanation is the 2 chests/1 chest/no chest thing
Yâsee
If youâre in an party doing savage
And no one in the party has cleared that week, then great you get both treasure coffers dropping when you clear. Full amount of items to roll on.
If 1â4 members of the party have already cleared that week and are just helping another group clear now
Only one treasure coffer will appear.
And if 5â8 members of the party have already got their clear for that week, no coffers will drop.
yaa now that you say that i'm remembering this
so try and run with a full party of people who havent cleared yet
that is the ideal, yes
Also if you skip to a higher floor ahead of time, e.g. entering E2S before you cleared E1S for that week, it counts as if youâve cleared E1S for these loot purposes
(which means you don't get the loot)
so ideally do everything with a group of people who havent cleared yet in order from 1 -> 4
generally old raid loot is unlocked before the release of the next tier
oh right
By the time the next raid tier comes out, the previous tier will have restrictions lifted
ok makes sense
E5SâE8S will have its own lockouts
