Doing raids unsync still rewards the Totems like from Weapons refrain for example?

obsidian patio
#

Yes

#

Though ultimates cannot be done unsynced

sick idol
fresh lodge
#

Its your starting ability

#

!action Heavy Swing

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Heavy Swing** : lvl 1 MRD WAR (2.5 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 200.

spiral python
#

Is Blade of Early Antiquity from E4N still locked behind weeklies?

obsidian patio
#

no

spiral python
#

Thank you. Here, have a cookie blobcatgooglycookie

sick idol
proud willow
#

The bluequest that show up as part of your class/job training are extremely important

#

Some of the other bluequest are not as important, like the ones that unlock Treasure Hunting or PvP

sick idol
#

i'm mrd atm but i need to go ninja so i do it to fast switch to ninja or go the 2nd one ?

#

cuz i don't know how to reach ninja class fast as i can

proud willow
#

Once you have done the level 10 MRD quest, you will have the ability to switch classes

dim ridge
#

hit level ten and do your mrd quests

#

yeah

proud willow
#

Then you can pick up Rogue and follow their quests (and the MSQ msq ) until it becomes Ninja

sick idol
proud willow
#

I can't tell you which to do first, because they are both important

sick idol
proud willow
#

Hunting Log is a good source of experience but has nothing to do with completing quests

#

It's just bonus XP that's available to you

sick idol
#

thx โค๏ธ

#

or later form other quest cuz the axe just give me 1 physical damge

obsidian patio
#

you'll get the same weapon from your rogue class quests

sick idol
#

ok

sleek pagoda
#

proud willow
#

All at the same time

#

But alternate foods instead of doing all one type at a time

sleek pagoda
#

marsh rapids
#

Is the fat chocobo mount still available somehow?

proud willow
#

One of the fat chocobo mounts is a reward for getting 2000 commendations

obsidian patio
#

Yes, you just have to upgrade your A Realm Reborn license to the collector's edition in the mogstation

#

but yeah, you can get the Parade Fat Chocobo for earning 3,000 commendations

marsh rapids
#

Perfect, thanks!

junior dirge
#

Is there like a general best class for dps/healer/tank each for squadrons?

#

When leveling with them I mean

obsidian patio
#

Archers used to be really busted, but I think after the nerfs they're pretty on level with thaumaturge?

junior dirge
#

And I saw a video where the guy spammed the engage button and they melted everything, thats not the case anymore I suppose?

obsidian patio
#

yeah they fixed that

whole wasp
#

Nope. Patched

obsidian patio
#

Basically it used to reset their cooldowns, and Archers were busted if you did that

junior dirge
#

Is there any cheese or trick that increase their effectiveness still?

obsidian patio
#

Make sure to use engage on any targets you want them to specifically focus on

junior dirge
#

Alrighty ty!

whole wasp
#

Not really a trick but the squadron lb3 is very strong.

obsidian patio
#

yeah it provides a beefy damage buff so use it pretty much whenever you can for bosses

junior dirge
#

Oh okay

fervent bloom
#

So i accidently picked the wrong coffer because i mis clicked. Is there a chance to re-do this? or no? im just stuck with a set i cant use?

slate arrow
#

you can't redo MSQ quests with reards

fervent bloom
#

Well i guess im stuck with a monk set as DRK lol

dim ridge
#

can sell it

fervent bloom
#

can i buy the other set?

#

after selling this one?

dim ridge
#

which msq is it? probably yes

fervent bloom
#

Causes and Cost

dim ridge
#

OH

#

well you can't sell that one but you can get the armor with poetics yes

burnt spear
#

is there any NPC selling all the NPC-purchasable dyes or do I still have to run around buying them from separate NPCs in different regions?

obsidian patio
#

The NPCs in the main city marketplaces have a majority of the vendor dyes

#

the ones that have (Restricted) in their shop selling price mainly come from the ARR beast tribes

burnt spear

thanks ๐Ÿ‘Œ

uncut lava
#

the best gil dye is ink blue

#

which city is the best to looking for fc

#

in primal famfit ?

obsidian patio
#

Most people hang out at limsa lominsa

#

since the marketplace is by the aetheryte

uncut lava
#

okay

coral thorn
#

If I want to play Samurai, what class should I start with

uncut lava
#

you unlock sam at 50 though

coral thorn
#

Thinking of a tank so i can both dps/tank end game, but dont want to struggle too much?

#

During levelling

uncut lava
#

role in ffxiv is specific

#

you ccan't do both tank and dps

obsidian patio
#

Rather, each class is a specific role.

#

A Warrior is always a tank, and a Samurai is always a DPS

uncut lava
#

but tank have "tank priviliege"

coral thorn
#

But I can switch jobs end game?

obsidian patio
#

yes

uncut lava
#

you can switch to any job you want

obsidian patio
#

If you want to quickly reach level 50 to unlock samurai, then I'd say any tank or healer would do to take advantage of quick dungeon queues

coral thorn
#

So I can level a tank till 50, switch Sam, play that, after some while bring tank up to max and can play both?

obsidian patio
#

yep

#

You can have every job at the max level if you're willing to grind for it

coral thorn
#

How hard to keep both geared?

obsidian patio
#

easy if you only want to do casual or non-extreme/savage content

oak ice
#

On your first class through MSQ it's gonna be a bit annoying

#

But yeah, not difficult

uncut lava
#

just a reminder

coral thorn
#

If I tank, can I get loot for Sam?

uncut lava
#

once you have a taste of the instant queue

#

you will never want to play sam

mint shale
oak ice
#

You can, but you won't be able to roll [Need]

#

Need takes priority over Greed, but you can only roll need if your job can wear the piece

mint shale
#

At where you are at right now, if it's where you sound like you're at, I wouldn't worry about gearing for end game

dim ridge
#

so if there's a samurai or monk in your party, they get first pick

#

but you get a shot at it

mint shale
#

Just get them classes levelled up

coral thorn
#

If i dont invite any sam/monk, I could farm sam gear as a tank?

dim ridge
#

you won't need to

oak ice
#

Duty Finder places you with random teammates, so you can't really control what you end up with

dim ridge
#

late-game gearing lets you just buy pieces basically

#

so no stress

oak ice
#

And that

dim ridge
#

main story will gear one for leveling without issue and dungeon drops fill in the holes past that

coral thorn
#

No pugs in harder content?

oak ice
#

Most of endgame is about collecting special currency, with some exceptions being savage raid and extreme primal gear

#

People pug harder content, yes

dim ridge
#

I've rarely ended up in a situation where i can't gear a job because of how most gear is bought with currency you earn by just playing the game

#

running a couple daily random dungeons basically

#

plus your job quests give gear!

#

so there's no stress

oak ice
#

You'll definitely get dejected if you do harder content and have bad luck with rolls, but that's the name of the game

dim ridge
#

but that's at max level

#

way far off

oak ice
#

And even then, harder content gives tokens that you can trade for gear after you collect a bunch, so you'll never do a 10 minute+ fight and walk away empty handed

dim ridge
#

exactly

#

they make it really easy to set goals for endgame content

uncut lava
#

they have item for newbie at 50 60 70 80

#

so you no need to worry

dim ridge
#

msq before all though! its all gated behind the msq so that's your first priority! it'll level you to 50 too

#

and do your class/job quests as they unlock for free exp and gear and skills

coral thorn
#

Overall do you think its a good plan to level Warrior till 50, then switch Sam, then bring up War for faster end game queues/pugs to help gear Sam?

dim ridge
#

depends on how you like war! i did that on an alt (well it was paladin but same deal) and honestly i liked samurai enough that i just stayed on it

#

dps queues aren't too bad and I've had no issues thus far, I'm into stormblood now on said alt and samurai has just been a blast

#

i may level pld up eventually but its far from necessary

#

i main a healer, too, on my main character, so I'm use to fast queues and I'm still not bothered by samurai queue times

leaden ginkgo
#

If I'll get an orchestration roll fromMthis event and put it on sale with the lowest price, will it sell? Do people buy those?
It shows up in demand on market but I wonder if anyone would spend 200k on it @-@

uncut lava
#

a lot of glam relate stuff sell well

leaden ginkgo
#

Glam?

dim ridge
#

what event?

#

glamour aka cosmetic

obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo it can, yeah

#

just be sure to look at the market history and see what previous people sold it for, for a guideline

dim ridge
#

people 100% buy orchestrion rolls for more than 200k even lol

leaden ginkgo
#

Miz, the moogle hunt.

#

Ok, thanks for the replies

dim ridge
#

ahh make sure its not account bound and also, heads up that the price may dip during the event, since it will be "easily" accessible

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok

rare sable
#

Answers used to sell for 1m+.... before mog tomestone event ruined the rarity(and the price)

dim ridge

yup

uncut lava
#

how do you turn the % health of boss like in all the raid vid ?

sleek pagoda
#

in character configuration under HUD

uncut lava
#

thank

onyx kiln
#

so why does the game want me to use the Horn ring despite every stat it has with exception of the +2 intelligence, being so far worse?

#

playing BLM btw

twilit arch
#

because healing is not for blm

#

recommended gear prioritized main stat and ilvl

leaden ginkgo
#

1m+++??/

#

Ah, I could become stinky rich >_<

#

๐Ÿ™€

twilit arch
#

but main stat is the bigger priority so the fact that the ironwork ring of healing has no int means that horn ring is better, in its eyes, because it has int

leaden ginkgo
#

one question is bugging me. How to figure out is lalafel character male or female? they looks alot same and second question is how Viera is mating, they are female race i think

whole wasp
#

Male vieras exists. We just cant play as them.

leaden ginkgo
#

Why does it matter?
Pretty sure there is a gender sign on profile

onyx kiln
#

was gonna say that it could have been like how the Gerudos in Zelda go for other races men.

twilit arch
#

for lalafels, the name and looking closing at their faces (females have noticeable eyelashes, males do not)

fresh lodge
#

Male Lalafel have dark ear tips iirc

twilit arch
#

and as smug said, male vieras do exist in lore

whole wasp
#

Lala NPCs by their names i think and their beards.

onyx kiln
#

but haven't gotten to ShB yet so haven't that much of the Vierra

fresh lodge
#

Male Viera don't exist in game

#

But they have been mentioned in lore

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait, what about male Lalafell who have noticeable eyelashes? I do eye lashes for my character in Monster Hunter >_>

#

๐Ÿฆ”

fresh lodge
#

Once you see the difference you'll notice how different it is

leaden ginkgo
#

@onyx kiln yeah, I have the same thing sometimes. Just apply the gear manually unless you're in a rush

twilit arch
#

the only reason why you would have that problem is if you're trying to wear incorrect gear

#

and he is

leaden ginkgo
#

When will I be able to get a house? I'm almost finished with Realm Reborn, just doing the 2.1-2.5 quests now l, then Heavensward... I've heard people say how you become a millionaire by just finishing the game and I mean, I think I got only 50k max from mainNstory quests

#

Now I have 200k and it was just me selling on the market >_>

twilit arch
#

only time it gets a bit weird is for tanks, because it puts a priority on vit and if you have gear for say a melee job that's high ilv than what you've currently got it might suggest that because it has higher vit

uncut lava
#

finish crafter gae they mean

fresh lodge
#

The money from the MSQ probably won't be enough

leaden ginkgo
#

:C

fresh lodge
#

And you have to be Second Lieutenant first

leaden ginkgo
#

Hmm, canI get promoted now?? I have 25k seals but can't get promoted because the hints aren't available

#

๐Ÿ‘ถ

#

hunts

fresh lodge
#

You don't need hunts to rank up

leaden ginkgo
#

I do >_<

fresh lodge
#

Did you finish the hunting log?

leaden ginkgo
#

I didn't look at it :c

twilit arch
#

hunting log =/= hunt, you need to complete your grand company hunting log

fresh lodge
#

Need to finish the GC hunting log

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh

#

Ok, then

#

Thanks

If my friend buys the starter edition only, does that still include 30 days?

whole wasp
#

yes. the free first month sub is in the base game only.

why not complete edition

where do i find lvl 60 ninja rotation

ik theres a bot for rotations but i've forgotten the command TT

Anyone uses steam renewal as payment method? If my steam wallet is empty the payment goes directly to my credit card when is renewal time?

@inner snow ask this in tech

slate arrow
#

Also, the rotations only exist for BLM because your core rotation keeps changing every expac and they don't really apply retroactive change to it due to how unchanged it is from 2.0

#

@nova wraith best way to level DPS jobs, but doing dungeons with all EXP buffs is still better EXP/time wise

obsidian wren
#

palace is the fastest way to level for dps classes

mortal root
#

aight

obsidian wren

since they have long queues

You can't enter HoH until 61

#

Yes, it's stupid.

uncut lava
#

best floor to grind is 51 to 60 for potd and 21 to 30 for hoh

crude relic
#

Theres 2 vendors on the steps nearest the Palace dude, talk to the male and he can do stuff with it. The female vendor let's you keep the Palace weapons. Also that's 2 more levels than you would've gotten in a normal dungeon on average.

#

There's a huge drop off in levels around level 55 I think? Where you average 1 level per run iirc

uncut lava
#

no it 45

#

fromthere you need to do 3 to 4 run

#

for 1 level

gritty oracle
#

When is the daily bonus registered: at the beginning of a dungeon, or in the end? Say, were I to pop a roulette right now and finis it after the bonus resets, would I get the old or new bonus?

raven sage
#

You would get the reset bonus

#

It counts that as doing it after reset since it passed

Hey folks! I am finishing up the level 50 ARR stuff, pumped to get into HW and unlock Astro.

I have been hearing about "relic weapons" and specifically level 50 ones and I'm kinda confused about them. Are they worth getting given I plan on leveling to 80? How do I acquire them if so?

little swift
#

Theyre for cosmetic purposes at this point

#

Do them of you want shiny weapon but its a large time gil and poetics sink

cyan dawn
#

Hmmm okay noted Ty!

little swift
#

Keep in mind each expac has their own set of weapons as well

#

But new classes do not get weapons retroactuvely added

#

So dancer and gunbreaker currebtly dont have any

cyan dawn
#

Until they eventually release ShB relics?

#

Makes sense, thanks for the thorough answer

little swift
#

Ye

Hey frens, I've been away from the game since July. Barely touched ShB. Anything big I should know before jumping back in? Should I wait for an upcoming event or anything to come back?

Question: if you wanna get married on say 3/3/2020 can you start the quest now and just not schedule the ceremony until the Friday before? Or do you have to week prior to start everything?

rich bay
#

You can start the quest when you want. The date is indeed the moment you need to be mindful of. @blazing gulch

blazing gulch
#

And it weekly resets at 4am est Fridayโ€™s at the earliest depending on the package purchased?

rich bay
#

The special website will show it:

#

The EU site shows the GMT/UTC times.

blazing gulch
#

It Doesnโ€™t mention if you start a quest 6 weeks prior. Seeing if it known if after waiting weeks if the hourly restrictions is removed. Like how it is removed 2 weeks after rescheduling

rich bay
#

The moment the date is decided is the moment you start to schedule it.

#

I do notice, you need to do the reservation in 2 weeks after the registration of the wedding in the Chapel, if i understand it right. (Step 4)
You can do step 1-3 on a time you want and that is the biggest part of the quest. (The 12 statues)

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

#

Do hard dungeons get you more exp?

slate arrow
#

no

#

hard dungeons are merely remixes of older dungeons which grant endgame gear for that expansion which is no longer relevant

gritty oracle
#

X Hard is the continuation of the story of X

slate arrow
#

Speaking of which, endgame dungeons grant only a fraction of exp

#

It's merely there to keep your 50/60/70 roulette from being completely worthless

someone know the music of potd?

slate arrow

it pulls from tracks from dungeons all across most level 50 and 60 dungeons on top of some old PvP music

tawdry otter
#

ah okay thanks

slate arrow
#

So you'll have to be more specific

wintry chasm
#

It changes all the time @tawdry otter

#

Also some old 1.0 music that IIRC isn't really used anywhere but 1.0 and cutscenes

eg the old 1.0 Mor Dhona theme

well i had one song that i love it but now will be hard to hear these song again

yup, you need to do this quest and the next one and you can go back to the sisters of the edelweiss to be a Rogue

Good Luck!

sick idol
#

thx alot

whole wasp
#

@verbal hound fastest way from level 60 is prob to Heaven-on-High or lvl 59 dungeons until you are 61 then just spam the highest dungeons you can queue for until 80

#

level 60 & level 70 dungeons give very litte exp so skip those

tawdry otter
slate arrow
#

you collect silver chests

#

The more you collect the less of a chance each chest has of actually granting you a level so you'll have to go to the higher floors to have a better chance of getting more aetherpool

ah okay

#

i only do 51-60

Then your aetherpool will stall somewhere around 70 or so

#

like you can get more but it'll take about 10 silver chests before you get a level from a 51-60 silver chest

tawdry otter
#

so if i go higher than i must take less chests

slate arrow
#

no the chest rates are about the same give or take

#

It's just the mobs get more dangerous the deeper you go

#

And the risk of one hit kills gets extremely high at floor 80+

tawdry otter
#

hmm okay

slate arrow
#

(the main reason you go deeper are for floor 200 or for the best rewards from the hoard, many of the items which come from the 170-200 floors all sell for a very pretty penny)

sick idol
slate arrow
#

yes

sick idol
#

thx

upbeat storm
#

dont some of those lead into + quests though

slate arrow
#

usually those will be bluequest

#

Unless it's a beast tribe one

sick idol
#

ok

slate arrow
#

In which case yeah those don't

eager bear
#

ehm my friends boughtthe game but im on omega and they cant join me ....

#

there must be something to be done right ?

upbeat storm
#

new character, paid transfer

eager bear
#

but thats unfair

#

ill just tell them to refund the game

slate arrow
#

no it's not it's how all MMOs works

upbeat storm
#

this is assuming theyre of different data centers

slate arrow
#

in fact FFXIV is actually generous about it since you can world visit every server on the same data center

upbeat storm
#

by cant join you mean cant make new char on your world

#

if thats the case just tell them to wait untill it opens up

slate arrow
#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?
Info

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

eager bear
#

so omega will open up tonight ?

#

for example ?

slate arrow
#

!serverstatud omega

eager bear
#

yeah its a shame though as half of our friends have a fc

slate arrow
#

!serverstatud omega

upbeat storm
#

it opens up when theres less people

slate arrow
#

Fuck

eager bear
#

so we want to be on the same server

slate arrow
#

!serverstatus omega

upbeat storm
#

gotta pay kupo

slate arrow
#

dammit I hate you kupobot

upbeat storm
#

on strike

#

also isnt the server status stuff inaccurate

slate arrow
#

currently it's dynamically locked

#

seems like the currently online population is too high

#

just wait for non-active hours

tough wolf
#

What are the benefits of stabling my Chocobo?

upbeat storm
#

wait till EU off time

eager bear
#

any idea when that is ?

slate arrow
#

however it's not congested locked so you don't have to wait for them to manually updated

upbeat storm
#

12 am in france

slate arrow
#

It's currently 6:40 in the UK

upbeat storm
#

population on server will probably start going down at 10pm UK

#

well its also friday

slate arrow
#

that too

upbeat storm
#

so its harder to get in

slate arrow
#

But yeah this is par for the course for most MMOs

#

because the servers aren't just matchmaking

#

They run everything

upbeat storm
#

also dont use the server status websites

#

it has a delay

tough wolf
#

I'm UK, I usually don't expect to be able to create on weekends until 1am

#

(I'm not sayign there won't be any window at all before then)

whole wasp
#

@tough wolf stabling a chocobo allows you and your fc members to train it once per hour for 1% total exp.

tough wolf
#

@whole wasp oh, brilliant. Gotta remember to do it for my FC. I'm still leveling so it's worth having him with me, I guess.

upbeat storm
#

so its only usefull if you have an active FC?

whole wasp
#

You can do it yourself in an aprtment complex but

upbeat storm
#

i dont want to check every hour

whole wasp
#

Nobody will train your chcobo while you're offline

eager bear
#

ok cheers

twilit arch
#

yes they can, smug

eager bear
#

hopefully they will be able to at arround 2 am

twilit arch
#

so long as your chocobo is in the stable

whole wasp
#

Sorry. Meant to say will.

#

Unless they are nice people

twilit arch
#

even then, thats not necessarily true. depends on how nice your fc is.

upbeat storm
#

well higher chance with more people

twilit arch
#

If i'm going to put my chocobo in for a training session, i'll probably train anyone else's who is there since i'll have a bunch of cheap feed on me anyway

whole wasp
#

True. FC is a safer bet since not strangers but nice people like kael exists.

upbeat storm
#

what does cleaning the stable do

whole wasp
#

Stables get dirty over time. At max cleaniness you get 1% total exp per training

#

Lower cleaniness lower amounts. Dont know the exact number right off my head.

#

You can get brooms consumables to kwep it clean through fc credits, marketboard etc.

junior yacht
#

at lower levels it's 2%

#

it goes down as your chocobo levels up

Hey guys, im rly interested in playing ff14, but I have no idea where to start, should i buy all the expansions now or later?

drifting mural
#

hi, i have a question. i live in europe, but have a trial north american account. i want to buy the digital games bundle from the square enix website. can i buy it with a european card and continue to play on my north american server?

twilit arch
#

@red sinew i would suggest starting with the trial and see if you actual enjoy the game before buying anything

#

@drifting mural are you a 100% certain your trial account is a north american account? because being on an NA server doesn't mean your account is NA

drifting mural
#

hm, i am not then. :/ i am on the NA server though. not sure how to check..

twilit arch
#

log into the mogstation > square enix account settings > account information

drifting mural
#

i did that :) country/region - it says my country. but in the footer, it says country/region - United States. i am confused :/

midnight umbra
#

I assume if you bought the game a bunch of years back, your not able to use the trial?

twilit arch
#

for region it says "Americas"?

#

correct, evan

midnight umbra
#

thanks.

drifting mural
#

it says both things. on the page, it says my country, in the footer it says USA

leaden ginkgo
#

i just really wanna play this game but whenever i go to enter my activation code it gives me Error Code: i2501 can someone help
?

twilit arch
#

unfortunately error i2501 is really broad, so it can be a bit hard to pinpoint what exactly the issue is. are you using a vpn?

leaden ginkgo
#

no i dont believe so

twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
#

wait it might be build into opera

#

nah its not on

twilit arch
#

you could try a different browser, see if that makes any difference, otherwise try waiting 24hrs or contacting support

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah ill try edge

drifting mural
#

well, it says country/region - my country in europe.. but in the footer, it says USA as a country/region. and when i click on it i have USA highlighted.

little walrus
#

can u still get the ARR beasttribe mounts from the beasttribe?

#

or only the moogle tomestones?

twilit arch
#

you can still earn them from the beast tribes

leaden ginkgo
#

bro how do i even download the game

#

wtfman

#

theres literally no download button

charred rune
#

You download the launcher

#

The launcher downloads the actual game

#

There is no full download link available

drifting mural
obsidian patio
#

@drifting mural if you click the โ€œBUYโ€ button for the licenses on the mogstation, it should take you to the right regional store

drifting mural
twilit arch
#

You're looking at mogstation, yes?

leaden ginkgo
#

im on the website

drifting mural
#

hmm yes. i sure hope i didn't change the setting of the store one of the last time i was logged in..

leaden ginkgo
#

where is the launcher?

charred rune
drifting mural
#

oh ok. mogstation says rest of europe.. :D

leaden ginkgo
#

im eu

twilit arch
#

ok then your account is EU

charred rune
#

There's no difference in the actual download

drifting mural
#

@twilit arch thank you!

midnight umbra
#

do i have to buy thise heavensward stormblood shadowbringers thing? they are 60$ each?

junior yacht
#

no

#

the expansions are all bundled together for $60

twilit arch
#

40$

junior yacht
#

yes, that

twilit arch
#

60$ is if you're buying complete edition which is base game plus the expansions

midnight umbra
#

oh "complete" edition. even though i already bought the game in like 2013

#

expansions i guess

twilit arch
#

you just need shadowbringers then if you own a realm reborn

charred rune
#

^

#

Buying the current expansion always gives you the older expansions too

midnight umbra
#

ah that part was totally unclear

uneven reef
#

What rank do you need to purchase the zephyrous zabuton?

#

From the kojin tribe

wintry chasm
#

"allied"

uneven reef
#

Thanks

wintry chasm
#

er

raven sage
#

Gotta max all the SB ones

leaden ginkgo
#

Its trying to get me to buy the game but i have a code where do i enter it

uneven reef
#

Hmm..

wintry chasm
#

yeah allied but that isn't rank 5

uneven reef
#

That appears to be..

#

8?

#

At each new rank you unlock more daily quests or different ones?

twilit arch
#

for expansion beast tribes, you unlock more variety but you'll always only have 3 a day to do. rank ups below 7/8 also give an extra 3 a day

wintry chasm
#

^

#

However with ARR beast tribes you'll just unlock more quests, variety and number you can do per day

uneven reef
#

I want to do the SB ones, focus per tribe so I dont spend my day doing those daillies.

feral narwhal
#

Is there a way, on macros, to have it show the skill tooltip in addition to the icon, when I mouse over the skill?

green grail
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm wondering, whats different between the site version and steam version?

#

I was thinking about buying the game for my friend as his birthday gift but i dont know the different. currently im using the steam version but all my other friends are using the site version, and they dont know the different

green grail
#

if you have base game on steam then you can only buy future expansions on steam, which has shaky history when it comes to preorder codes etc

#

and if you're on steam you can pay with steam wallet on mogstation

#

that's all afaik

stray saffron
#

the difference behind the scenes is that Steam takes a cut of subscription fees from Steam FFXIV users, which is also why there's such a hard division between Steam accounts and standalone PC

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there anyway to move the steam over to standalone PC?

green grail
#

only steam trial to pc base game i think, but generally no

leaden ginkgo
#

Wait, my account isnt connect to steam only right? if i wanna buy the pc version, i just need to buy the game again?

twilit arch
#

no, steam trial locks you into steam

green grail
#

yeah pretty sure the account is bound to steam

twilit arch
#

you can make a new service account under your mogstation account but its going to basically be a new account

#

Characters don't share between service accounts

leaden ginkgo
#

Reeee

#

Thank you so much for all the answers

#

Hey guys do you have to do Savage in order to get the pieces to get the gear sets?

brittle karma
#

Does it matter which one you do or can you spam any of them

tawny canopy
#

each one drops different gear coffers

brittle karma
#

Got ya

tawny canopy
#

E1S drops acc/belt coffers

#

E2S has head/feet/gloves

#

E3S pants

#

E4S body

brittle karma
#

I trying to get the sword pices

tawny canopy
#

then E4S

#

that also has a random weapon drop as well as a weapon coffer

brittle karma
#

For pally

#

I have the shield

tawny canopy
#

just run it and hope the sword drops

green grail
#

do you mean normal? savage doesn't drop the blades of antiquity

tawny canopy
#

or buy it with pages

#

oh are you talking about the blades of antiquity?

brittle karma
#

Yeah I need the blades

tawny canopy
#

oh ok then just e4 normal

brittle karma
#

And the letters

#

Sorry Idk the right names for them

green grail
#

!faq edenloot

zinc orbitBOT
#
Eden's Gate normal drop table
tawny canopy
#

it would reduce the confusion if you could properly point us in the right direction

green grail
#

normal is the "queue in, kill the boss", savage is "i've spent multiple hours/days learning this boss so i'm able to kill it with a party finder of similar skill"

brittle karma
#

Iโ€™m trying to get the pally sword that you need the letter and the blades

tawny canopy
#

you mean the tomestone

#

the deepshadow one

brittle karma
#

Yes that one

tawny canopy
#

yeah you'll need 4 blades

#

and the tomestone

#

and phatasmagoria tomestones

brittle karma
#

And I can just do the normal one?

tawny canopy
#

yes every time you complete Titan normal you'll automatically get a blade of antiquity

#

you can spam it as much as you want

brittle karma
#

Every time I look in the party finder my gear lv is to low for Savage

tawny canopy
#

you're not looking for savage tho right now

brittle karma
#

No

tawny canopy
#

savage can be done at ilvl 450

#

but most people don't want to do that anymore

brittle karma
#

Iโ€™m like 443

tawny canopy
#

yes you just need more gear

#

buy crafted gear off the marketboard

#

really though just wait until 5.2 when the next tier of gear drops

green grail
#

you do eden: sepulture until you have 4 blades of antiquity, you buy the lightweight tomestone with it, then you save up 700 phantasmagoria and buy 7 rowena's tokens (phantasmagoria) with those, and you buy the weapon with that

brittle karma
#

So it would be better to craft of mb then the Tombstone gear?

tawny canopy
#

i wouldn't worry about savage right now a new set of stuff is less than a month away now

#

no the phatasmagoria tomestone gear is better because it's ilvl 460

#

just saying if you want to get in quick to 450

#

crafted gear will get you there

#

if you can make it yourself or if you have enough gil to buy it

brittle karma
#

Lol I been using all my Gil on craft and crafter gear

tawny canopy
#

well then you have the capability to make your own DoW/DoM 450 gear then most likely

brittle karma
#

Ok thanks you guy are much more helpful then the guys in here the other night they where rather rude

tawny canopy
#

i try

#

but it's important to ask the right questions with the right terminology to avoid confusion

brittle karma
#

The where using Abbreviations and I told them I didnโ€™t understand them and at that time I was told โ€œyou have your answer stop asking the same questionโ€

tawny canopy
#

technically you did have the answer you just didn't know you had it

brittle karma
#

Yeah and I try to tell them that

#

I was asking about the Collectible quest

tawny canopy
#

that's why its important to familiarize yourself with the games terminology so you know what you're talking about

#

if you just say i need the thing

#

how i do get thing

#

ppl be like get that thing

#

and then you're like buh

#

because you don't know what thing is

brittle karma
#

True that why I try to Describe as much as I can

#

But it is what it is lol

#

Thanks guys

cold scarab
#

Are provisioning missions from grand company basically free daily exp for crafting/gathering jobs? Should I learn each one so I have max number of daily missions to complete?

green grail
#

yep

#

and turning in hq stuff gives you double the exp

tawny canopy
#

starred stuff even better

green grail
#

if you can craft the thing though obviously, cause at higher levels they can start demanding pretty advanced stuff, so just try to assess for yourself if the time and effort (and possibly marketboard cost of the materials/item) is worth the exp

cold scarab
#

Are the items to turn in based on the level of that job or your level within the GC or something?

green grail
#

job level

tawny canopy
#

they'll never ask you for something you can't make or get

#

that would be counter-intuitive lol

gritty oracle
#

Is there any way to unlock additional poses for an emote like, say, battle stance or sitting?

tawny canopy
#

you can use /cpose for some emotes

#

the sit emote has like 3 different ones you can cycle thru

weak flume
#

Standing has like...five?

twilit arch
#

3

tawny canopy
#

same for /doze

weak flume
#

thanks

gritty oracle
#

Yeah, but is there a way to unlock more?

tawny canopy
#

no

gritty oracle
#

Rip

weak flume
#

Is there any way of changing the "market board" city? Like, changing it from Limsa to Gridania?

twilit arch
#

marketboard city?

dusty jungle
#

You can head to the city you want and change your retainer to list in those markets.

#

The NPC is called the Retainer Vocate.

weak flume
#

Thank you

cold scarab
#

Do I need to keep all leveling gear if I want to eventually level all classes? I assume I can't wear my armor I have now at 55 for my only DoW job on all the other jobs as I level, but I don't have all the MSQ quests available since I did them already to feed me leveling gear for the other jobs

rare sable
#

If you have the space for it, then sure?

#

If you dont, then just keep poetic gears, the rest/fillers are (more) easily obtainable GWgoaThinken

green grail
#

if you're planning on doing 50+ leveling dungeons aka queue for leveling roulette and get them occasionaly then yeah you should upgrade to at least ironworks gear

cold scarab
#

I have Ironworks gear on my main job, but I'm wondering about gearing up the other jobs while leveling them - I can't wear poetics gear on a lvl 20 job or something, can I?

tawny canopy
#

no

green grail
#

i guess, but 99% of people stick with leveing 1-60 to potd where gear you wear outside doesn't matter, just aetherpool

tawny canopy
#

poetics is for level 50

#

er ironworks

#

just go with dungeon or npc vendor gear for levelling

rough anchor
#

Iโ€™ve just finished the LVL50 DRG quest and wonโ€™t be able to get any new skills from leveling up until I start heavensward, which I am still WAAAAAAAY away from (currently ||looking for the masked man in the desert refugee camp||). Should I temporarily freeze the job and play as a RDM (which also is lvl50 from the start) or keep leveling the DRG, even though Iโ€™ll be less effective in new dungeons that I unlock?

tawny canopy
#

just keep going on drg

raven sage
#

It won't make any difference if you switch since they're both 50

rough anchor
#

Does RDM not unlock new skills without heavensward also?

raven sage
#

If you're in msq below 50 then that won't matter

#

You get synced

little swift
#

Yes youre gated by hw access since you cant do the job questd

#

Skills being given by job quest gets removed later

rough anchor
#

Oh they do?

#

Big oof

#

Well I guess DRG it is then

mortal root
#

do i need to have my padjali weapon equipped to be able to upgrade it to kinna

raven sage
#

Also not true the only abilities locked behind job quests for rdm is manafication and verholy

tawny canopy
#

no with rdm you can continue on job quests until level 60 if you haven't finished 2.55

lapis idol
#

hi new to the game i have a kinda of technical question, i try to improve my fps and through some search i saw something about directx but i can find the setting in the launcher anyone can help?

tawny canopy
#

are you running windows 10

lapis idol
#

yes

tawny canopy
#

by default it should be running on directx 11

lapis idol
#

oh i saw that you can enable/disable this does it make change to fps?

tawny canopy
#

what

#

you have to have direct x to run the game

sinful breach
#

tbf if your fps is bad to begin with a hardware upgrade might be the best solution here, otherwise you can try lowering all the graphics settings

i just saw this and i was kinda curious about it

tawny canopy
#

that switches it back to directx 9

#

but the devs dropped support for dx9

#

so if you have issues running the game on it

#

they won't help you

lapis idol
#

ok got it thx very much

little walrus
wintry chasm
#

Do you already own it?

tawny canopy
#

becuase it's shared between melee dps too

little walrus
#

no

tawny canopy
#

there are not many pieces like that tho in the game

#

kinda a holdover from 1.0

wintry chasm
#

It should let you need it still shouldn't it?

tawny canopy
#

no

wintry chasm
#

It only shares with dragoon

#

Man...

little walrus
#

nope, its blacked out

tawny canopy
#

becuase dragoon

That's....

This is why I hate ARR tanking

#

well luckily pld is the last tank class i have <50

hoary storm
#

Do crafter/gatherers have quests after 70?

raven sage
#

They have the facet quests

#

They aren't traditional class quests though

scarlet arrow
#

I feel like in 2.0 they had this vague concept of DRG being an emergency tank that just never panned out

#

I seem to remember having parry and defense buffs back then

heavy marsh
#

Do I actually have to wait for my last day to run out so I can renew?

#

Is it worth buying crysta to pay for your sub?

dusty jungle
#

If you are on subscription then yeah you need to wait, if you use a timecard you can just keep adding time.

#

It isn't any better value, unless crysta supports a better payment method for you (e.g PayPal)

#

@heavy marsh hope this answers your question ^^

strong iris
#

question, what do i do with my inventory/armory inventory, ive always kept around the unique equipment because i figured you couldnt get it from anywhere else, but im guessing you probably can buy that story gear from somewhere, also i have a ton of pots that i probably dont need either, mainly what kind of things should i keep around and stuff i should toss? i have a habit of hording stuff cause i dont know if i should keep it D: but all my inventories are full now and i want space D:

little swift
#

If you hace crafters you can desynth it

#

If you are sergeant 2nd? Class in your grand company turn in the non white equipment for gc seals

#

Or just bin/sell whatever you dont currently need

#

Since you can always get it back if you want it again

#

Pots at early game you might not need either

#

And crafting mats at early game are usually really cheap to buy as well

#

Tldr sell whatever you dont need

strong iris
#

okok ty, yeah i just horde everything pretty much, but ill try to sell some things

#

and any gear that id like for glamour i assume can just sit in that glamour plate

little swift
#

Ye use your retainers as well as your glamour dresser as more space too

Need help recruiting people to help me with a dungeon quest

#

Super new here.

dry glade
#

||Nier dungeon has ilvl 435 lock. Where is the best place to get >435 gear? The stuff I got in shadowbringers was 420. ||

wintry chasm
#

What you got is 430 but to answer that you can do some buy some gear with your goetia and phanta tomestones, do the 8-man raid a bit for 450 gear, do the level 80 dungeons

#

Stuff like that

#

all the level 80 dungeons out right now minus Cosmos gives 430 accessories and Cosmos gives...345 ilvl gear

warped nest
#

Your AF gear is 430

wintry chasm
#

@tired idol Use duty finder

#

It's the matchmaking system

tired idol
#

Iโ€™m trying but been waiting for 15 mins. No ones joining.

wintry chasm
#

What class/job/role are you?

warped nest
#

What dungeon is it?

wintry chasm
#

^ that too

warped nest
#

Take note that Extreme difficulty trials are rarely queued by players.

#

Some trials/dungeons are optional so less players have them unlocked which lead to slightly slower match making

wintry chasm
#

I'll just wait for the answer Chronos

warped nest
#

Yeah

dry glade
#

Thank you. The AF gear is 430 but it is only half the slots, so it only brought my ilevel up to 420

wintry chasm
#

Right

Which is why you do whatever you can of what I said since that's basically the only ways to get better gear short of just buying some 450 gear from the marketboard (get high quality if you do since NQ stuff tends to be like, 60 ilvls lower in stats)

#

Thank you. I'll be doing duties for a bit.

#

@tired idol, did you enable all languages in duty finder options?

wintry chasm
#

(I'd just wait for them to respond back honestly)

warped nest
#

i assume that their queue popped just as they punched in the question

gentle marten
#

Is summoner difficult to learn?

warped nest
#

not really

#

what's concerning you?

bitter plaza
#

yeah, but not as hard as it used to be

gentle marten
#

Only that i heard that it has a super long rotation

#

For a caster is it less thank BLM?

junior yacht
#

it is a long rotation, but it's got a rhythm to it

#

it does deal less damage than BLM, but it's also more flexible and mobile

raw solstice
#

it also is just one of those things that seems a lot more daunting than it is

warped nest
#

Summoner has a 3 minute rotation, but it can be broken down to 3 unique 1 min cycle

raw solstice
#

it's not like it's a full long thing where you have to memorize everything, it's just your opener and an overall cycle with some elements of flexibility in it with various parts that are pretty logical when you get the hang of it

gentle marten
#

Ohh i see that sounds nice

warped nest
#

furthermore, rotations are built on logic

#

if you understand the principle behind why things are done in a certain way, you can get the hang of the rotation

raw solstice
#

just for a bit of reference, the long rotation for SMN can be just simplified to a diagram like this:

#

!faq smncycle

zinc orbitBOT
#
The two minute cycle by Edyis Darkbane and Elevation Xx (Faerie)
warped nest
#

we don't actually memorize "oh, i need to press this on 2:16 exactly"

#

oh. my bad

#

it is a 2 min rotation broken down into 2 unique 1-min cycle and a 20s phase you inserted in your phase 1

gentle marten
#

I'll probably end up playing it, it does sounds interesting honestly

#

I already tried blm and i dont appreciate how it works so ill give smn a shot

warped nest
#

have fun

gentle marten
#

Oh right one more thing should i worry about pet managing?

obsidian patio
#

Pet management is pretty much nonexistent. Garuda for more than one target, Ifrit for single target.

proven mountain
#

are there any differences in the faires for scholar at level like 50 or 60? if not, does there ever become a difference?

dim ridge
#

no differences anymore

proven mountain
#

sad face

dim ridge
#

it use to have a difference but now it's purely cosmetic, they realized people would sacrifice 'good play' to use their favorite at times too

proven mountain
#

i really like intricate mechanics, my friend told you had to switch and sacrifice a lot before

jade quartz
#

You didnโ€™t switch a lot

proven mountain
#

i feel like astro is pretty intricate (relative to white mage and scholar)

do you still gain that Resting Bonus EXP just by being in a Sanctuary? Or is it just when you are logged out of the game in one?

hushed girder
#

Is there a noticeable increase in speed when getting the Mount speed 2 enhancements?

dusty jungle
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah

hushed girder
#

Okiedokie Iโ€™ve been doing all the daily hunts for everything just wanted to know if it was worth it

leaden ginkgo
#

you can get a lot of seals from doing blue mage stuff

#

carneval gives a lot

twilit arch
leaden ginkgo
#

and theres some weekly carneval thing that gives 800 right

twilit arch
#

shows the difference

hushed girder
#

Really? Ses

leaden ginkgo
#

yea

hushed girder
#

Ima do the Blue mage quest then its just been sitting there

#

๐Ÿ˜„

#

Is this a one time reward?

leaden ginkgo
#

if you dont have anyone to powerlevel you,you can use redmage to oneshot stuff by hardcasting ver spells and then class swapping to blu

#

that way blu geets the exp

#

one time reward for the carneval stages but theres a weekly thing too i think

hushed girder
#

I will have access to the Carneval Im guessing once I complete the blue mage quest

#

And this only gives one type of seals?

hushed girder
#

Cause I believe I need Allied and Centriun seals for all the 2nd mount speed

leaden ginkgo
#

you dont need mount speed from centurios really,you have flying

little swift
#

Flying is max mount speed

hushed girder
#

I see so mostly focus on Allied seals

#

But the seals I get are Allied ones?

leaden ginkgo
#

yes

#

2300 total for the carneval stages plus the weekly targets

little swift
#

If you really want the hw and sb mount speeds just do hunts

hushed girder
#

Thank you Ill start working on the blue mage stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

blu is pretty cool,you get to use spells from enemies

#

have to collect them by killing them

You can sacrifice yourself by turning into an explosion

#

!action self-destruct

**Self-destruct** : lvl 1 BLU (2.5 second cooldown)

Deals fire damage with a potency of 1,500 to all nearby enemies while incapacitating self.
Additional Effect: Potency is increased to 1,800 when you are under the effect of Toad Oil
Additional Effect: Inflicts Brush with Death on self
Duration: 600s
Effect will not be removed upon revival or further incapacitation.
Cannot be executed while under the effect of Brush with Death.

Blue Magic

Credited as the source of the โ€œbombโ€ voidsent family's name, Self-destruct, when used by blue mages, converts the entirety of its caster's energy into fire-aspected aether to cause an explosion. The application of oil has been observed to make it more effectiveโ”€though likely also more painful.

That potency is accurate.

leaden ginkgo
#

final sting is stronger no?

#

2k potency

#

yea but single target

obsidian patio
#

I know, just wanted to highlight making yourself into an explosion

leaden ginkgo
#

kinda sad i didnt play blu pre nerf

obsidian patio
#

The Brush with Death nerf? It really only mattered for the Masked Carnivale

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah cheesing that sounds fun

robust magnet
#

Any tips on making money/understanding the market?
I went onto the marketboard and sorted by demand, I saw that some of the white ash skybuilder logs were in high demand.
Despite undercutting when I check my retainers or log out, they haven't sold at all in 3 days.
Idk what I'm doing wrong, it's the highest demand item shouldn't they sell sooner than others?
So far they've halved in price and I hadn't sold any.

slate arrow
#

raw materials are the most volatile or stable depending on the server since it's so easy to gather so many

#

The best items to sell are always endgame gear and food, with stuff like sand and sublime solution following close behind

robust magnet
#

I see. Well I don't think I can gather the end game stuff yet, I just hit lv80 and didn't unlock the new nodes yet.
I was hoping to make some quick cash to help support finishing the grind for my crafters.
TamaSad

slate arrow
#

Also skybuilders materials has dramatically dropped off in demands as most people who have wanted to do ishgard have either already gotten what they wanted or just straight up bought the rewards from the marketboard

dim ridge
#

we do have new skybuilder content coming tho so it's worth keeping an eye on

slate arrow
#

Those will be using new materials though so it's not worth collecting a bunch of skybuilders stuff

robust magnet
#

I see.

rare sable
#

You can save them for 5.2 though... I think it might be in real demand again

robust magnet
#

hmm, hopefully otherwise I went and cut down like 900 for no reason haha.

rare sable
#

Raw mats in general are hard/not really profitable.... though you can check spruce log, lumythrite ore, dawnborne aethersand, rhea/hingan flax

dim ridge
#

we don't KNOW it'll be using new materials, + people will be catching up who skipped 5.1 and are still leveling etc, hence me saying 'watch' not 'go gather' lol

rare sable
#

Basically, the tome stuff

dim ridge
#

spruce and darksteel get a ton of use

#

linseed oil iirc

#

varnish fRIGGIN VARNISH

rare sable
#

Theres a number of non 80 thats nice to sell simply because... people dont gather them...?

dim ridge
#

nobody likes to put the effort in for varnish

sturdy mason
#

what's the best way to level gatherers after 50? restoration?

dim ridge
#

frankly, it's collectables usually

rare sable
#

Leves?

dim ridge
#

restoration doesn't have the gatherer turnins til 5.2

rare sable
#

Quality assesment leve is huge exp

#

And daily gc turn ins

dim ridge
#

so collectables + leves + your job quests is what i'm usually told

sturdy mason
#

collectables I thought were from restoration?

dim ridge
#

OOOO yeah daily gc turnins are hella exp

#

for crafters

#

gatherer restoration turnins will be 5.2

#

there's collectable turnins outside ishgard, it's rowena

#

rowena is the main tome business

#

and the main scrip business, and scrip is collectables

sturdy mason
#

5.2 meaning I won't have anything until level 80?

dim ridge
#

no...you have rowena collectables, normal ones

#

and then around...what is it, 60, you unlock custom deliveries?

#

and that's yet another collectable turnin option

twilit arch
#

60 if you've not unlocked it

#

55 if you have

#

since custom deliveries can be unlocked with crafters

sturdy mason
#

ok I'm a level 52 fisher, my GC turn in is Winged Gurnard which requires a lvl 60 lure

#

how broken is this?!

robust magnet
#

Can also buy off market (the turn in) if you're lazy like me.

sturdy mason
#

literally fish never show up on market

#

especially the HQ ones

#

I never see mooched fish on MB

robust magnet
#

come to Goblin we got plenty

sturdy mason
#

for GC turn ins most people just buy this stuff?

robust magnet
#

I think so? I know I do (another reason I'm typically broke).
So if you'd rather get it yourself and not go broke I suggest that tbh.

#

turning in HQ items will double the reward.

sturdy mason
#

my main point earlier was that the game gave me a fish too high level

#

how am I supposed to complete the turn ins without buying?

twilit arch
#

because you can catch it with mooch using a lv53 bait

robust magnet
#

idk how fishing works, but for the other two it wasn't too hard

#

and by hard, I meant I was able to get some of them myself (if it was to costly on MB)

dim ridge
#

@sturdy mason use a red balloon at The Blue Window fishing hole, you're aiming for Sky Faeries, high quality. use Mooch when you get a high quality one and about half the time you'll get one of those winged gurnards

#

there's a few other random fish you can get at that fishing hole with your bait, but it's the bait with the best shot for the mooch fish.

#

you can also get Bouyant Oviforms at that same hole, a decent amount of the time, and those are a leve fish, you can turn them in for free exp with the leves 'the aquariums of ishgard' or the large-sized leve 'a win-win situation,' both in ishgard ofc

sturdy mason
#

I'm gonna just say it. GC turn ins are a horrible way to level. No matter how many times I revisit. Maybe for gathering it's OK. But for crafting it's terrible. level 51 ALC, gotta make an Archaeoskin Grimoire. Recommends 468 craftsmanship. I have 271 with Artisan gear

#

Gonna just stick to ishgard and do 1 job at a time

robust magnet
#

The point is it's "Free EXP" and a lot at that.

#

Least that is how I see them.

dim ridge
#

i mean that's fair! not everyone is gonna have a bunch of spare materials, or the gil to buy that hq grimoire, but in fairness, many many MANY crafter gc turnins are vendor items

little swift
#

At 51 you can grab normal quality ishgard gear can you not?

dim ridge
#

which you can buy nq for gil from a normal vendor and turn in for very easy exp

robust magnet
#

I think just 1 piece.

#

then like 53 is next? idr too much

dim ridge
#

yeah at 50/52 check your ishgard craftning vendors. artisan isn't the best anymore

sturdy mason
#

I mean, HQ gear on market is expensive. Typically 75-100k. I would go broke after like 2-3 days of turn ins

dim ridge
#

again, lots are vendor items not just hq market gear here

sturdy mason
#

I just don't see how this is practical. I am trying to craft all of them, but to do that I have to spend an equal amount of gil to get the gear

#

Maybe I'm missing something

#

but I've tried this a few times and I always hit the same wall

dim ridge
#

then the option's not for you, if it's that much of a gil sink to you

robust magnet
#

I mean, leveling ALL the crafters will be costly.

#

at once.

dim ridge
#

^

little swift
#

Nah we're saying you need to grab new gear since artisan aint enough

dim ridge
#

like it's a gil sink to level crafters unless you are sourcing all of your mats from yourself or a free company mate hookin you up etc

little swift
#

But its true that crafting is costly

dim ridge
#

its an investment

robust magnet
#

I've never seen 1m gil in my entire account life.
And thats because I was leveling all my gatherers, crafters, and job classes at once. lol.
Hone in on 1 of each and you'd probably see more money. At least more than I do.

dim ridge
#

actually, shit, question

sturdy mason
#

@dim ridge I didn't notice they had a shop selling price. Where do you grab them? One place or you just check on gamerescape for each one?

dim ridge
#

depends, often just the normal ishgard vendor!

little swift
#

Ishgard in the jeweled crozier

robust magnet
#

vendor gear? the Sapphire alley or whatever.

dim ridge
#

i was gonna ask, i realized i didn't check if you had ishgard AVAILABLE

#

i hope so lol

sturdy mason
#

I do

robust magnet
#

Oh, I was close KoutarouTeehee Sapphire's a jewel.

dim ridge
#

cuz then i also HIGHLY recommend doing your job quests

#

if you aren't caught up on them ESPECIALLY

little swift
#

Lmao sapphire avenue exchamge is uldah

robust magnet
#

I remember trying to get my gatherers up. 50-52 was the hardest imo.

dim ridge
#

if it's not at the jeweled crozier then it's probably somewhere weird and you gamerescape it yeah

robust magnet
#

Rip, guess I wasn't close at all.

dim ridge
#

but yes, if you're leveling all these and going 'this is hard and expensive wtf why, it seemed so easy for those other people' no you're right. it's expensive and weird

sturdy mason
#

So I was trying to get HQ for all the turn ins. If it's vendor gear, just go with NQ for the price?

dim ridge
#

if you want! you can skip gc turnins entirely if you want my dude!

little swift
#

Nah we're saying to use it to get better stats for now

dim ridge
#

i barely used them after level...70ish? and started using them again around 78 but that's cuz i legit forgot

#

rn, yeah, focus on fixing your gear

robust magnet
#

I'd suggest only turn in the ones that are cheap to get, check daily.

little swift
#

To make the crafts a bit easier

dim ridge
#

that's too low for your level atm yeah

robust magnet
#

Sometimes stuff cost like 150gil for that day sometimes not.

sturdy mason
#

Math isn't adding up to even close to 400+ for some of this

#

checking the Armorer in ishgard

dim ridge
#

mh/oh?

sturdy mason
#

for DoH

dim ridge
#

as well as accessories

sturdy mason
#

accessories increase craftsmanship?

robust magnet
#

There is also a guide online which was pretty efficient for me when I was leveling gatherers. Dunno if you've seen it.

sturdy mason
#

I saw the spreadsheet one that is based on levequests

robust magnet
#

hmm no spreadsheets let me see if I can find it again

sturdy mason
#

you probably sent it to me a week or so ago

#

I lost it ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

dim ridge
#

like when we say all your gear, we mean ALL your gear

narrow glacier
#

The current best accessories for crafter increase craftmanship as well as CP for most of them

robust magnet
dim ridge
#

the cool thing is, you can save it, use it for all your jobs at that level

narrow glacier
#

Though there's one that increases control

dim ridge
#

so it's not a 'waste' to get the upgrades just cuz you know you'll level out of them if you still have more crafters to level. if it's your last one to level then idk lol

I wanted to purchase a phial of fantasia from the mog shop, but I keep getting error code i2501. It is weird because I get the error as soon as I select a payment method, but I don't even get a chance to enter payment information. I have already contacted customer support, but has anyone else had this issue before?

robust magnet
#

Whoever it is that made that guide also tells you what to buy and when, how long it'll last you for etc.

Best method? Not sure, but it's what got me to 80 on both of my gatherers.

#

Might want to try in a private browser window

leaden ginkgo
#

I not only tried in a private window, but I tried in a completely different browser with no addons at all. I have tried in both Firefox and Microsoft Edge.

#

I think I have tried to buy it about 5 times now, but I read that could get my account locked, so I stopped trying and contacted customer support, lol.

#

Could this be because I just bought the game yesterday and last night I decided to purchase three 60 day time cards from Amazon and apply them to my account? That is the only account activity I have had as far as payments go.

Hey all, quick question. Does the leve allowance timer keep going/resetting if I'm logged off for an extended period? Let's say I'm out of town for two days, will I have accrued an extra 12 leves, or do I have to be logged in for the next timer to start ticking?

Yes, the leve allowances recovery timer stays running while logged out.

Mythrite Ore is a hidden item on a node. Has 5% HQ chance. Do I use Unearth II to increase it to 35%? Or is there a better way?

robust magnet
#

Do people do "kits" similar to levekits for leveling quests for crafters?

#

Is so, is there a name for it? lmao

slate arrow
#

not really since you rarely need those in bulk

#

usually they're just class quest turn ins

robust magnet
#

Dang. I've got all my crafters to 60, but they're all on lv5 quest steps lmao.
And some of this stuff's expensive or only has HQ on the market. trying to get weaver caught up to speed atm. Was hoping there was what I asked for

little swift
#

it becomes really easy to hq things with all your skills

robust magnet
#

Yeah the original plan was to get to lv80, get in lv80 gear and breeze through it. But the macro calls for Manipulation which is quest locked sad

raven sage
#

You wouldn't have wanted to do that anyway

#

The quests give good exp

robust magnet
#

Yeah I noticed when I did my Alchemist, gave like 2-3 levels just in the last few quests.
So in the end I suppose it was a bittersweet blessing haha.

Do Alchemists need any other crafters (to lv 80) to make any useful end game items?
And do I need the Master Recipes?
