I guess not then

twilit arch
#

go to mor dhona and see lyrdilona has a quest for you

novel parcel
#

Will do now

lean oracle
#

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?

novel parcel
#

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

warped nest
#

You can swap to any jobs

#

Without any penalty

#

You can also be both SCH and SMN

south marlin
#

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)

warped nest
#

This game allows you to play all combat jobs, all crafters, and all gatherers with 1 character

lean oracle
#

thanks 😄

warped nest
#

Think of jobs as PokĂŠmon you collect.

south marlin
#

gotta catch em all dude

#

Where's the moogle beast tribe quest?

#

I don't see the unlock in the maps

obsidian patio
#

Moogle Beast Tribe wants a long series of quests complete before you can unlock them

spark rock
#

My goodness, that's long but for the sake of grind... Welp, I'm doing it

#

Thanks

gentle marten
#

What accessories am i supposed to picked up for NIN?

slate arrow
#

aiming

gentle marten
#

Huh weird ok then

hot eagle
#

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

marble drift
#

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

blissful lava
#

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?

marble drift
#

duty finder a E1 normal, clear it but don't leave

#

test for yourself?

leaden ginkgo
#

@oak spindle its the best place to put it

oak spindle
#

ok will try that thanks

upbeat storm
#

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?

twilit arch
#

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

queen flame
#

do i need to be level 60 to unlock yellow scrip deliveries? or is 50 ok?

obsidian patio
#

Custom Deliveries requires a level 60 to unlock. Normal collectable turn-ins just require level 50.

queen flame
#

thanks!

oak spindle
#

is there a way to make it so only my dots show on the 'focus target bar?

brave vine
#

Question.

#

If you buy a marriage package, will the items there be shared by the couple once married?

#

Sorry, I pressed enter by accident. >.>

obsidian patio
#

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

brave vine
#

Ohhh.

dim ridge
#

yeah it's a bit clunky that way

brave vine
#

So if I buy a package, I hafta remarry again to get the items there?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

brave vine
#

Aww.

humble orbit
#

Need help with garuda

dim ridge
#

if both of you buy the platinum package then you both get all the items

oak spindle
#

is it worth getting a deepshadow weapon?

obsidian wren
#

If you're not planning on clearing hades extreme or titan savage, I'd say so yea

weary umbra
#

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?

rare sable
#

[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 namazuthink

#

Then say you, somehow, accidentally make 2 sen when u havent apply dot (1), just continue to 3 (then 1 after)

weary umbra
#

my hotbar is
definitely not 1 2 3 anymore but i think i get it thanks

rare sable
#

Um, the number refers to the amount of sen you have

#

Though re-reading your question

weary umbra
#

ok then im definitely lost

rare sable
#

I think I get you wrong... so you mean if say, you already have flower

weary umbra
#

right

rare sable
#

And you accidentally start on making another flower?

vernal surge
#

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?

rare sable
#

I would say just continue @ rumpie

weary umbra
#

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

rare sable
#

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)

weary umbra
#

gott it thonk

rare sable
oak ice
#

Hagakure is your oh shit button

weary umbra
#

samurai is hard mode dragoon btw

rare sable
#

@triablos kind of

#

As long as you dont overheal

weary umbra
#

thanks spriteSAM

rare sable
#

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

honest ocean
#

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?

rare sable
#

Thats not normal no no

#

Sorry, I find it hard to believe

honest ocean
#

was the mount available from any other source?

fresh lodge
#

Yes, the Moogle tomestones of Philosophy

honest ocean
#

Ok then i mustve gotten it from there then not the kobold vendor

wintry chasm
#

Mmm

rare sable
#

namazuthink most likely

ember gust
#

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?

wintry chasm
#

Nothing important yet. There are really nice side stuff you can do like the 24-man raid and other bluequest things

jade quartz
#

If you care about story stuff both Binding Coil of Bahamut and Crystal Tower are recommended

wintry chasm
#

But nothing important

jade quartz
#

But there's nothing like, gameplay mandatory.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah what Lyon said

#

When you say you finished ARR does that include the patch quests?

ember gust
#

Nope going into them this weekend

wintry chasm
#

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 bluequest quest chain

#

Note: the hard mode fights are not hard

ember gust
#

Havent really incountered anything too hard up till now

#

I guess ill start up a new class to go through bluequest stuff

#

Only have a bard and a level 15 Mrd

wintry chasm
#

You can unlock Red Mage and Samurai now assuming you have the expansions

#

They start at 50

ember gust
#

Oh okay

#

I have a lot of low level sidequest and bluequest

#

Dont wanna waste the exp on a high level

jade quartz
#

sidequest aren't really worth your time purely for exp efficiency

ember gust
#

Kinda rushed through ARR

jade quartz
#

Do them if you want to.

wintry chasm
#

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

wintry chasm
#

You should absolutely do those bluequest though

#

You should have done them

#

They are good

#

(minus the class unlock and leve ones)

ember gust
#

The most imporatnt bluequest 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 bluequest stuff

balmy plinth
#

how often do you guys change out gear for your retainers? is every 10 levels enough?

twilit arch
#

whenever i hit an ilvl/gathering stat requirement

cursive gyro
#

how do i get other classes other than my main class?

#

is that what all the red bubbles are for @-@

rare sable
#

bluequest look for this that say "so you want to be [class name]"

fresh lodge
#

You need to first complete the level 10 class quest for your starting class

cursive gyro
#

ohh ok

#

is there a limit to how many other classes i can take

#

or can i just be like

#

everything

twilit arch
#

nope, you can be everything

cursive gyro

#

oh dang

thick flame
#

is the starter edition worth it atm

twilit arch
#

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

proud willow
#

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

thick flame
#

@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?

twilit arch
#

starter edition is only to level 50 and the end of a realm reborn

proud willow
#

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

whole wasp
#

greatest difference is unable to start as one of the expansion races, else theres little difference between the 2 editions at the start

thick flame
#

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

jade quartz
#

Yes

thick flame
#

Then buy the starter edition

#

Then hope for a sale

#

For the complete edition

#

Thanks for the advice guys

twilit arch
#

well if you own the starter edition

#

no point in buying complete, just buy shadowbringers at that point

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Shadowbringers is all the DLC

#

Complete is starter edition + DLC

#

@thick flame

thick flame
#

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

wintry chasm
#

Assuming you go entry which you should unless you are a prolific alt character maker like me

#

Uhh

jade quartz
#

!faq subprice

zinc orbitBOT
#
Subscription Prices
wintry chasm
#

Oh nice faq

jade quartz
#

There’s also subpriceEU.

thick flame
#

Which is the best value wise

#

Oh I see so I should go for entry @wintry chasm

jade quartz
#

That infographic tells you

thick flame
#

I see okay

wintry chasm
#

^

thick flame
#

I guess the entry one suits me the besy

#

So how's the game atm guys

wintry chasm
#

Entry is cheapest per month but is on par with the 180 day standard sub

jade quartz
#

If you buy standard sub in bulk it matches entry price

thick flame
#

I'm at lv9 and I luv it atm

#

But I don't think I need that many chars

jade quartz
#

Alts are super unnecessary yeah

#

This game isn’t very alt-friendly

iron oracle
#

Still don’t know why people need alt beside raid 🔐

jade quartz
#

To play with friends in different datacentres

wintry chasm
#

Playing in different datacenters

jade quartz
#

Or to RP

wintry chasm
#

Also I use it to play as different races aka RP yeah

iron oracle
#

But this game already time consuming idk how you gonna build another alt

wintry chasm
#

With difficulty is the honest answer

thick flame
#

So uh

#

How's the game tho

#

Like it seems kinda pricey all tgt for 12 months

jade quartz
#

I mean

#

You’re telling us you love it and you’re hooked

#

Since we play it we probably also find it worthwhile

#

Sooo

#

Gotta make your choice

thick flame
#

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

jade quartz
#

Oh population

thick flame
#

U guys think it's worth?

jade quartz
#

Game is thriving tbh

thick flame
#

In that sense

#

It was so good I immediately streamed it yesterday

#

👀

jade quartz
#

It’s still growing which is nuts

#

You won’t see folks out in overworld zones though

#

Not much anyway

#

That’s 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)

thick flame
#

Oh no

#

I'm on crystal is that ok

jade quartz
#

Yes

thick flame
#

Oh ok whew

jade quartz
#

Crystal is known for RPers and has a less active endgame raiding scene

#

It’s very populated though.

vernal surge
#

Is there any reason not to use minor arcana on AST?

jade quartz
#

Once you’ve got your seals lined up for the next divination

iron oracle
#

No unless you trying to get the seal for divination

twilit arch
#

you should be using minor arcana when you've got 3 seals lined up

jade quartz
#

You minor arcana everything.

vernal surge
#

So I keep using it until I have 3 seals

#

Then use divination

jade quartz
#

No, Minor Arcana doesn’t give seals

#

Play the cards normally until you have three seals

#

Then divination, or minor arcana until divination is available

vernal surge
#

Oh okay

#

So I don't want to use minor arcana too much

gritty oracle
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

Nooo

twilit arch
#

nope

gritty oracle
#

@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.

twilit arch
#

the sharlayan in the hinterlands is just a small group from sharlayan homeland itself

wintry chasm
#

Not that small

#

I'll let Lyon do it

#

Go Mr Lore mentor, you know the dates better than I

gritty oracle
#

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

twilit arch
#

small group compared to the sharlayan homeland itself, cal

gritty oracle
#

I spent like half an hour thinking that Y'shtola was already back from ||the Lifestream|| when the Scions relocated to Mor Dhona

jade quartz
#

(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 Sharlayan—for simplicity’s sake I’ll refer to it as New Sharlayan.

#

Both Sharlayans existed at the same time.

gritty oracle
#

ooooh

jade quartz
#

Sharlayan is pacifistic to an extreme degree, so when the Empire came knocking on Eorzea‘s doorstep 20 years ago and annexed Ala Mhigo Sharlayan didn’t 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.

gritty oracle
#

Guess who had another one of her AU fanfics destroyed by canon T.T

jade quartz
#

Alphinaud and Alisaie came from Old Sharlayan.

wintry chasm
#

They were born in New Sharlayan though

#

...right?

jade quartz
#

Nah

wintry chasm
#

Wew

gritty oracle
#

yeah but the plot required Garlemald to actually invade New Sharlayan

jade quartz
#

Well

#

I don’t think we actually know for sure ponder

wintry chasm
#

I thought it was mentioned but that's not exactly a point for this channel I suppose

broken sail
#

But i thought in some cutscene Alisaie or Alphinaud said their home were in dravanian hinterlands

wintry chasm
#

They did live there but to be fair living there =/ being born there

jade quartz
#

I’ll look into that

wintry chasm
jade quartz
#

Yeah

gritty oracle
#

sorry haha

sudden timber
#

are there any comprehensive docs guide for raid/dg for tank?

#

that list every mechanic of each dg in the most tl;dr way

junior yacht
#

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

jade quartz
#

(Update: Alphinaud and Alisaie were born in the Hinterlands colony indeed. That will be all)

uncut delta
#

Is the daily reset at 10AM EST now and not 11AM EST anymore?

junior yacht
#

yes

uncut delta
#

When did that change?

junior yacht
#

the reset time is "the same" but now Daylight Savings is in effect so it's one hour earlier

#

because clocks

uncut delta
#

I see. Thank you

thick flame
#

so uh as a new player

#

do i just follow the story till lv35?

twilit arch
#

that's the limit of the trial, but once you're on the full game the msq goes all the way til max level

thick flame
#

mmhm

#

but regardless what should new players do?

#

just story?

#

@twilit arch

fresh lodge
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

focus the story, yes

fresh lodge
#

Everything is locked behind the main story

#

So you'll have to get it done eventually

twilit arch
#

Also do bluequest 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)

thick flame
#

i see

#

so basically do all of those to unlock all the things i guess

#

😄

#

tenks guys

boreal pecan
#

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

dim ridge
#

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

boreal pecan
#

I have the full drachen armor already

#

wait

#

@dim ridge

#

Oh it's by the 3rd row, 4th column

fresh lodge
#

What am I supposed to see?

dim ridge
#

did you finish the 50 quest, like entirely right?

boreal pecan
fresh lodge
#

Thats the only way to get the coffer

dim ridge
#

close your saddlebag

fresh lodge
#

You're trying to put it into your saddlebag

dim ridge
#

you gotta have that closed

What is the quickiest way to level from 58 to 60

fresh lodge
#

Highest level dungeon spam or PotD

hot eagle
#

u could do your daily roulettes too, like leveling, alliance, msq they give good exp

spark epoch
#

is i450 pentameld better than the i460 for crafted combat gear?

The difference is so minor that it isn't worth it

spark epoch
#

ah alright, thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

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

lilac void
#

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?

raven sage
#

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

lilac void
#

alrighty, ive played druid in wow too, sooo I just had to create one here too

drifting nymph
#

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.

kind cobalt
#

a question about potd
which would be the best way to farm aetherpool?

drifting nymph
#

@kind cobalt Solo?

kind cobalt
#

or solo in group id do 1-10 but worried silver chasts arent as often at those floor

drifting nymph
#

Solo 1-10 is your best option to 99 pool

kind cobalt
#

that cant be as pool are capped...

drifting nymph
#

You basically need around whatever floor you're attempting +5-10 pool to clear it

#

You can definitely cap it like that

indigo orbit
#

Auto equip has trouble sometimes

#

But

#

Aetheryte earring at lv80?

#

Doesn’t the exp boost stop at 70

twilit arch
#

it does

#

and personally am more concerned by the shire gear

indigo orbit
#

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)

SweatDia 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.

You don’t still have your old phone do you

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.

indigo orbit
#

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.

Where can I find ppl to advance meld my materia?

wintry chasm
#

Pretty much anywhere

#

just ask around in a city

junior yacht

ask around in your FC first, they're more likely to be trustworthy

marble drift
#

are you in an FC? theres probably someone with crafters there

junior yacht
#

but yeah, just /shout in any major hub city

wintry chasm
#

You can't exactly get cheated in with advanced melding

#

But sure ask the FC chat first since that's less annoying

tropic plover
#

Holyshit /shout was instant

wintry chasm
#

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

wintry chasm
#

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

#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

how should i cont lvling? im lvl 32 and the next msq dung is 35 ;-; wtf?

raven sage
#

It's there

#

Just make sure the thing you're looking at actually has identical items

twilit arch
#

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

marble drift
#

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)

austere bobcat
#

the shared models list isn't perfect

after you do the daily leveling roulette

yeah but its helped me a few times

austere bobcat
#

I've encountered items where something is listed as a shared model on one item, but not on the other

leaden ginkgo
#

imma cry XD

marble drift
#

ohright. yes do daily leveling roulette

leaden ginkgo
#

ok 🙂 ty!

marble drift
#

every day.

junior yacht
#

every day you play

hybrid phoenix
#

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.

junior yacht
#

don't force yourself to play

marble drift
#

Not really.

junior yacht
#

all servers in a data center are in the same location

raven sage
#

Any NA server would be fine

junior yacht
#

so really the best you can do is pick the nearest continent

marble drift
#

thats probably not what Mai means Jet

#

I think they mean like active during X time period

raven sage
#

They wanted to know about timezone activity

junior yacht
#

yeah but the answer is the same

marble drift
#

which would mean don't join a JP server as an american running regular american hours

hybrid phoenix
#

What silver said - mostly about the population.

raven sage
#

But yeah all the NA servers have the same activity

marble drift
#

cause the server will have massively reduced player activity

junior yacht
#

no one in Siren is like "okh it's 10 o clock on the east coast time for bed"

marble drift
#

yeah but ok

hybrid phoenix
#

X3

marble drift
#

join Tonberry

#

as an american

leaden ginkgo
#

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?

marble drift
#

guarentee you its dead as heck my dude.

hybrid phoenix
#

Don't want a dead server. >.<

marble drift
#

What do you mean "goes to 0"?

raven sage
#

None are dead

junior yacht
#

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

marble drift
#

well yeah not "dead" but massively reduced active population

leaden ginkgo
#

ok ty^^

wintry chasm
#

because everyone would be asleep that that point

marble drift
#

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

junior yacht
#

i already said all that >:V
and y'all said i didn't understand the question

hybrid phoenix
#

It's all good jet.

#

Thanks~

junior yacht
#

<:V

raven sage
#

I didn't think you misunderstood I just wasn't sure if you worded the way you meant it

#

Your advice was still sound

crimson trail

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?

obsidian patio
#

Which class did you start as? @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

@obsidian patio Dragoon, still only playing that class

obsidian patio
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Does it have anything to do with that free company thing in New Gridania?

obsidian patio
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

Ugh

#

I wish I would have friends to play with, starting this game and playing by myself is way too much

honest ocean
#

Is there a way to have the same item with different dyes saved in glamour dresser? Beside buying it twice of course

wintry chasm
#

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

honest ocean
#

Hmmm i see i see

#

And then i gotta make sure to never take it off that plate or put a different item

wintry chasm
#

lol

proud willow
#

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

wintry chasm
#

^

honest ocean
#

One is Pure white and one is jet black

#

lol

wintry chasm
#

Oh well

proud willow
#

RIP then

honest ocean

But i see what u mean

wheat rune
#

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?

open coral
#

If there is a plot you want to move to, and it’s open for sale, you can use the “move existing house” option

wheat rune
#

Oh cool 😄

#

But I still have to pay full price?

open coral
#

I’m not sure if you need to take down all of your decorations first or not though

#

I believe you do, but as I’ve never actually owned a house, I don’t know for sure

#

All I know is that moving house has a priority over new buyers

twilit arch
#

you don't, unless the items in your house would make you exceed the 400 indoor, 40 outdoor limit

leaden ginkgo

@obsidian patio can’t even do the leves here

oh then I definitely don't want that for an E1S practice group. Need some experienced players

drifting nymph
#

What is the most ideal elements to place your magicite in for Eureka?

obsidian patio
#

All of them in one.

wintry chasm
#

The rest in the one opposite

obsidian patio
#

You can rotate the wheel as needed for the monsters you’re killing

wintry chasm
#

^

#

But by placing them in opposite elements you get max attack and defence

#

Assuming you are rotating the wheel properly

obsidian patio
#

Note that opposite in this context means the element two spots to the left or right of the first element.

wintry chasm
#

Right

#

To be honest it's been so long I kinda forgot where they were placed

obsidian patio
#

Same

#

Actually had to re-enter eureka to double check

lone maple
#

will there be new gears/item lvls next patch?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

#

New raid tier

#

New tomestones

#

Higher ilvl

lone maple
#

new tomestones?

#

like we get a second capped one?

wintry chasm
#

As in bye bye old ones

#

and then the gear those tomestones bought for go to the hunt vendor

#

Following previous examples

obsidian patio
#

Goetia will become unobtainable, Phantasmagoria will become uncapped, and the new tomestone will be the next weekly cap

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

#

and goetia will be able to be exchanged for phantasmagoria tomestones albeit at a trashy rate

drifting nymph
#

@obsidian patio @wintry chasm Ty

lone maple
#

is it worth trying to grind out gear before the change?

obsidian patio
#

You’ll probably need i450-i455 at minimum to do most of the new content besides the dungeon so maybe

upbeat storm
#

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

wintry chasm
#

Are you on a preferred server?

upbeat storm
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

Ooo uh

#

1 and a bit

#

m-maybe

upbeat storm
#

Does time per level go way up?

wintry chasm
#

Compared to ARR?

#

Noooo

dusk zenith
#

it isnt difficult to keep mutliple classes around the same level while going through msq

upbeat storm
#

Well I'm clearing out quests from zones as msq takes me there

dusk zenith
#

as long as you dont mind doing the same dungeons

upbeat storm
#

So I'm 29 and msq is lv 19 or so

wintry chasm
#

They said without additional leveling @dusk zenith

dusk zenith
#

ohhhh

wintry chasm
#

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

empty orbit
#

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.

wintry chasm
#

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

empty orbit
#

I keep wondering how people even store gear for all their jobs

wintry chasm
#

It's a lot easier when you level up all of a role

#

Since you an start throwing out

empty orbit
#

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?

wintry chasm
#

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

obsidian patio
#

The Armoury only really gets crowded for weapons and rings for the most part

wintry chasm
#

but at max that all fits in your armoury chest

upbeat storm
#

What lv to get first class to before starting others? I was told 50 before doing crafting.

obsidian patio
#

In terms of only having level 80 sets

empty orbit

upbeat storm
#

Yes but does it make it easier if I have a main at higher lv

wintry chasm
#

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

upbeat storm
#

So there's no msq or area locked things I can use to lv other classes faster?

wintry chasm
#

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

dusk zenith
#

i would unlock potd before trying to level alt classes

#

but you get that very early on

upbeat storm
#

Patch 3.3 is when

wintry chasm
#

Also it's only good for DPS

#

Towards the end of Heavensward

#

!faq potd

dusk zenith
#

right, tanks and healers you can just do dungeons for xp

zinc orbitBOT
#
Deep Dungeon Info
Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

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 don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

wintry chasm
#

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

long tree
#

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.

upbeat storm
#

At what lv is dungeon faster? Since the low lv ones would have a longer que I assume

wintry chasm
#

did you accidentally target it before and aren't reconfirming the target as the enemy?

dusk zenith
#

for the most part, dungeons have very fast queue as long as youre healer/tank

wintry chasm
#

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

upbeat storm
#

Do I need dungeons unlocked for roullt? Only have access to 2 so far

wintry chasm
#

2 is all you need for leveling roulette

dusk zenith
#

the most imoprtant roulette for leveling is msq and leveling

wintry chasm
#

the most important one arguably

long tree
#

Nope not targeting the summon at all. Starting fight by targeting enemy and doing Ruin III.

dusk zenith
#

you get msq at 50

wintry chasm
#

No idea then Dosu tbh

#

Not a single one

@twilit arch ?

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."

jade quartz

Shadowbringers does not include the base game.

fresh lodge

You also need the base game

The store page ought to say that somewhere

If you want everything you can buy the complete edition

leaden ginkgo
#

how does that work?

obsidian patio
#

It gets two job crystals instead of one

leaden ginkgo
#

oh okay

proud willow
#

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

leaden ginkgo

and you just choose?

proud willow

Ideally you'd go ahead and create two different gearsets to switch back and forth easily

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

Nope

Don't glamour on plate either

Always put things in the dresser and dye them there

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.

valid viper
#

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

broken pasture
#

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.

valid viper
#

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 🙂 Looks fun

broken pasture
#

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

open coral
#

What I do is I’ll go through the msq with a single job, then slowly level other jobs one at a time

valid viper
#

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

marsh summit
#

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

broken pasture
#

Is Paladin not a protector in WoW? Crazy.

leaden ginkgo
#

Does buying 30 days add on to the free trial days or does it overwrite them?

raven sage
#

adds on

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

raven sage
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah the free 30 days from the full game

#

Thanks

So with Wondrous Tails, the level 50 and 70 dungeons. They have to be exactly level 50 or 70 to count? Or “at least” 50 and 70? I’ve 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?

raven sage
#

@untold ermine It has to be exact

#

It would say 51-59 and so on otherwise

untold ermine
#

Well shit.

#

Thought doing 567 roulette woulda sufficed. Oh well..

raven sage
#

@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.

Ooo rip I was hoping to get it on my SAM ;-;

So cute

sterile jolt
#

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?

whole wasp
#

Continue

#

Starting over is boring because you remember doing it before

#

Then you just quit again and wasted your time

sterile jolt
#

I barely remember anything haha 😦

#

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

whole wasp
#

It might be now since coeurl and balmung are quarrantined together on crystal

sterile jolt
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

I haven’t heard of anyone getting in trouble for playing the marketboard

whole wasp
#

Sorry joking. Coeurl and balmung got shifted to their own datacentre

#

Coeurl not on aether anymore.

sterile jolt
#

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

upbeat storm
#

lol what

#

SE actually punished you for capatalism

#

also whats the suggested way to start lving a new combat class

#

after your first

sterile jolt
#

They reversed a lot of their decisions. Reddit was kind of on fire in the first few months over it.

obsidian patio
#

For low levels it’s mainly sidequests, the hunting log, and fates

#

And then once you can do dungeons you can spam them and do the daily leveling roulette

#

There’s also Palace of the dead which is a grindy way of leveling up

Deep Dungeon Info
Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

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 don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

upbeat storm
#

what to do when side quests run out

#

for low lv

leaden ginkgo
#

Dungeons

#

Leves

#

FATES

#

crying

upbeat storm
#

i thought i was supposed to save leves for crafting

leaden ginkgo
#

they restock anyway

#

so do em if you want

upbeat storm
#

slowly though

#

3/day or does it get faster

open coral
#

How low level are you talking?

obsidian patio
#

Leve experience got massively buffed for crafters and gatherers

#

6/day

upbeat storm
#

like from 1 till fist set of dungeons

obsidian patio
#

Then sidequests/hunting log/ fates

open coral
#

Have you done your hunt logs if it’s an ARR base job?

upbeat storm
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

Until like lvl15 lol

obsidian patio
#

Only for the first 10-20 levels really

leaden ginkgo
#

Wyn do you know any shoes in game that have a lot of belts

obsidian patio
#

None that I can immediately name

open coral
#

Hunt logs don’t really have value for their specific jobs after you outlevel them

#

So it’s always worth doing them while you’re in the right range

honest lake
#

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?

sterile jolt
#

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?

obsidian patio
#

PVP skills are entirely different from PVE skills

#

Character > PvP Profile for your PvP actions

honest lake
#

oh wow, ok

obsidian patio
#

@sterile jolt Mainly Balmung and Mateus nowadays, though all of crystal is pretty decent for RP due to world visit

honest lake
#

thanks!

sterile jolt
#

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

sterile jolt
#

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?

fresh lodge
#

A job is just a better class

#

But for all intents and purposes they're the same

sterile jolt
#

Thank you! Now I'm trying to decide on range or dps. REading up on the new jobs now 😄

#

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?

queen merlin
#

so is there an incentive for me to do all normal quests in Norvrandt?

jade quartz
#

None for dancer @sterile jolt

sterile jolt
#

Thank you Lyon! Now to decide what to level until that level then 😄 I appreciate the help!

jade quartz
#

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

#

It’s just the continuation

sterile jolt
#

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?

jade quartz
#

Starting class determines starting city

#

It’s restricted to that.

sterile jolt
#

awwh

jade quartz
#

Marauder and arcanist start in Limsa; gladiator, pugilist and thaumaturge start in Ul’dah; 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

sterile jolt
#

I want to start in Limsa but play lancer I guess I'll just eat the tree zone. thank you!

jade quartz
#

Can just pick to start in Limsa

#

Play marauder for a few hours

#

And then switch to lancer when you’re able to travel between cities

sterile jolt
#

Thanks! I'll do that 😄

jade quartz
#

Just depends on which you prioritise—starting in your preferred city or starting as your preferred class. Neither choice has ramifications beyond the first 15 levels

sterile jolt
#

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/

obsidian patio
#

@queen merlin pretty sure not

sterile jolt
#

Mateus/Balmung are full. I think I'll give Coeurla shot and hope it has a good RP community 😄

obsidian patio
#

Can always just use world visit to go to Balmung and Mateus

#

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?

obsidian patio
#

Normal raids currently don’t have a weekly lockout

#

But when the lockout is active you can grab one token per instance per week

sterile jolt
#

oooh there's an exp bonus for using the less populated worlds? 😮

junior yacht
#

yes

#

double xp from most sources for 90 days or until level 70

rich urchin
#

and savage is 1 piece of armor per week per instance correct

junior yacht
#

1 piece of armor + 1 token

rich urchin
#

so you can claim loot from both normal and savage in the same week?

jade quartz
#

Yes and there’s more weirdness with chest lockouts depending on your group

#

Yes normal and savage lockouts are unrelated to one another

sterile jolt
#

I'm in the game now! Thank you @jade quartz

rich urchin
#

ok i think i get it now

jade quartz
rich urchin
#

though uh.. how does 24 man work

#

is it similar to savage

jade quartz
#

One piece of gear per week

rich urchin
#

o.ob got it

jade quartz
#

And you get a token too

rich urchin
#

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

jade quartz
#

That’s typical of Mr Happy really

rich urchin
#

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

jade quartz
#

The part that needs special explanation is the 2 chests/1 chest/no chest thing

#

Y’see

#

If you’re 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 1–4 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 5–8 members of the party have already got their clear for that week, no coffers will drop.

rich urchin
#

yaa now that you say that i'm remembering this

#

so try and run with a full party of people who havent cleared yet

junior yacht
#

that is the ideal, yes

jade quartz
#

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 you’ve cleared E1S for these loot purposes

junior yacht
#

(which means you don't get the loot)

rich urchin
#

so ideally do everything with a group of people who havent cleared yet in order from 1 -> 4

jade quartz
#

And you screw the rest of the party out of one treasure coffer

#

Yeah

rich urchin
#

that doesn't carry over to the next set of raids does it

#

like uh

junior yacht
#

generally old raid loot is unlocked before the release of the next tier

rich urchin
#

oh right

jade quartz
#

By the time the next raid tier comes out, the previous tier will have restrictions lifted

rich urchin
#

ok makes sense

jade quartz
#

E5S—E8S will have its own lockouts
