as in I can only join the guild of my server

gloomy ice
#

Yes. FCs are locked to their home servers. FC buffs don’t carry over if you visit another server in your data center but FC chat will still function.

fresh lodge
#

Correct

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks

#

as a DRK just starting ShB after not playing for quite a long time, and DRK being the first time I have ever tanked in an MMO, how am I expected to do duty roulettes for 50/60/70 dungeons and remember the boss mechanics? are they all just basically don't stand in the bad kinda stuff? since it's random I can't even look up a quick guide. just seeing if there are any tanks out there with advice, thanks!

stray saffron
#

most dungeon mechanics are extremely evergreen

timber fossil
#

generally, just don't stand in AOE. Say in chat that you welcome any tips for fights before starting the dungeon.

little swift
#

yeah tb then roomwide or the other way around

timber fossil
#

you should be fine.

stray saffron
#

circles, towers, stack markers, spread markers, puddle markers, etc. almost every dungeon mechanic is a variation on like 5 or 6 themes that appear everywhere in the game

wheat oar
#

that is what I was hoping for, thank you!

#

yea and I remember all of those

#

I never tanked in MMOs because of my obvious anxiety of wiping a group haha so that makes me feel better

#

and the new trust system should help with ShB

little swift
#

nah just go for it

#

if you point out you're new to a dungeon or tanking people are usually fairly forgiving

wheat oar
#

ok I will do that

little swift
#

just have a consistent pace and use your cooldowns

#

to mitigate damage

wheat oar
#

got ya

#

I've been relearning the class entirely before jumping in to any dungeons

#

since DRK is basically entirely different now

timber fossil
#

tanking is slightly easier now

#

you don't need to swap stance

#

just keep tank stance on all the time, as long as you're damaging every mob, you should never lose aggro.

wheat oar
#

ok thanks again

fringe tendon
#

About how many lvl 80s would I need to clear A8S?

crude relic
#

iirc Alphascape is SB so you'd still probably need 5-6 people for a SB savage raid, could be wrong tho.

gloomy ice
#

A8S is Alexander. Shouldn’t be too bad I think. 3-4 should be fine.

scarlet arrow
#

O8S would be Alphascape (O for Omega)

crude relic
#

Oh then yeah, what Eton said, I was thinking Alphascape not Alexander tbh o-o not 100% fluent in raid terms since I'm a dirty casual 😛

scarlet arrow
#

😄

manic oasis
#

Is endgame better than the main story content ?

scarlet arrow
#

better how?

manic oasis
#

Like more ‘things to do’ and immersive

#

As addicting etc Lool

scarlet arrow
#

kind of depends on whether you like raiding and/or pushing the most difficult content or not

somber thistle
#

im stucked

#

i cant leave

#

it's all bugged up lol

timber fossil
#

there's an ingame report function

#

maybe try that

#

or just try log out and log in?

junior yacht
#

try relogging first

#

if that doesn't work, send an in-game report

#

actually, try teleporting first

spring hornet
#

hey guys anyone free to help me understand the job system? im new to ff14

timber fossil
#

do you have a more specific question about it?

fresh lodge
#

A job is just an upgraded form of your class that you unlock through your level 30 class quest

spring hornet
#

well my endgoal is to be a dark knight but from what ive heard its different from other jobs

#

so im wondering does it matter what i start with

timber fossil
#

no it doesn't

#

you can be as many job as you want

gloomy ice
#

It's only different from other jobs in the sense that when you unlock it, it starts at level 30. Doesn't matter what class/job you were to start.

fresh lodge
#

Its an expansion job, so you have to reach Heavensward before you can switch to it

timber fossil
#

it's as simple as swapping a weapon

#

and most jobs have their unique style of fighting

#

dark knight is different from other jobs, but all jobs are very different from each other.

spring hornet
#

how difficult is it to get to the expansion?

timber fossil
#

you just have to reach to that story progression

#

aka, finish A Realm Reborn.

#

depending on how much time you spend on playing, and whether you read/watch every cutscenes and dialogues, some take 1 month, some take 2 weeks, etc.

gloomy ice
#

It isn’t particularly difficult. Just a little time consuming at first.

timber fossil
#

but it isn't difficult at all, just your time.

spring hornet
#

hmm okay

timber fossil
#

story content is expected to be cleared with minimal performance. you just need to understand the very basics and hit buttons.

spring hornet
#

well im kinda torn now between marauder and lancer

#

i enjoy tanking which is why im looking to be dark knight

timber fossil
#

if you don't have a preference, and would like to go a little slower, you can choose Lancer.

#

DPS is a little harder to level

#

MSQ (main scenario quest) gives a lot of EXP.

#

so leveling a DPS with MSQ is basically a free DPS. Tanks and Healers are easier because they can queue for dungeons and get in rather quickly.

#

DPS wait time is somewhere around 15-25 minutes. Tank is around 5-8 mins right now.

uncut lava
#

Once you have a taste of the instant queue

timber fossil
#

Healer is often instant.

uncut lava
#

You will reluctant to play dps

lilac flume
#

should i bother trying to get eden savage clears since new tier is coming soon

spring hornet
#

i think ill start as a marauder so i can tank

#

thanks for the help

timber fossil
#

they'll be catch up gears, but i'd say probably wait? it depends on whether you have a good team of people to practice with.

#

if you have a good group of people to practice, you can farm the gears quickly.

lilac flume
#

i dont have any team to practice with and i dont have clears on any savages, im trying to use pf but having little luck. im ilvl 465 but i need eden pieces for bis

timber fossil
#

i would wait then.

#

idk the ilvl requirement for the new raid tier, but i'd imagine you're fine for at least the first raid?

lilac flume
#

wont i need eden gear anyway though?

timber fossil
#

but worst of all, swap out some gears with catch up gears.

twilit arch
#

you won't need eden savage gear

timber fossil
#

get some crafted ilvl480 gears to swap out some lower ilvl ones and you're probably fine to start the next tier. i think.

lilac flume
#

i should probably get my crafters maxed before i even try savages anyway

#

since ill need foods

#

it'l be my first tier

timber fossil
#

what level are you crafters?

lilac flume
#

58-61 doh with gatherers being 56 bot/min and 52 fish

timber fossil
#

if you ignore fish, you might have a chance of hitting lv80 on all and prepare for next tier. only if you focus all of your time on crafting and gathering.

#

and play every day

#

lol

lilac flume
#

like i said whenever i start will be my first tier so im not in a huge rush

timber fossil
#

that's good. 🙂

lilac flume
#

but yeah thats actually what i think ill do is just keep doing ish restoration stuff until im all 80s then try and find a group for my hours

leaden ginkgo
#

So I'm doing MSQ while 35 (I'm on Trial so am lock out of xp) I really don't get back all the XP am getting from the quests right?

timber fossil
#

you want to craft your own food because you wanna save some gil right?

twilit arch
#

correct, any exp earned while you're capped is wasted @leaden ginkgo

rancid vector
#

Hi, as a new player (me and my partner both intend to get started) would we feel we were missing out on content if we both just got the Final Fantasy XIV - Starter Edition to begin with?
Is there another way to start that you would reccomend?

leaden ginkgo
#

Well might as well wait for Saturday then

wintry chasm
#

First off the free trial. After that you don't really lose anything by starting with the stater edition except not having access to expansion races immediately which could suck. Really you only need the expansions when you hit level 50 since you're at the base game level cap then. @rancid vector

leaden ginkgo
#

@rancid vector 40$ for the complete edition is really a catch, doing only 9.99$ for the base game is a bit of a waste since you need to spend 34$ after that
Play the Trial, get the feeling of the game and then if you like go Complete

wintry chasm
#

^ the pricing might be worth getti g the complete off the bat

#

But I'd say getting the starter edition first after the free trial is probably the safer option if you aren't sold on the game by that point

rancid vector
#

Ah, I assumed the trial was just for subscription and you still needed to buy a base,

#

I will try that then, many thanks ~

leaden ginkgo
#

You have tons of content to do with Trial

wintry chasm
#

Yeah once you buy the game and register, your free trial goes bye bye @rancid vector

#

So uh

rancid vector
#

@wintry chasm Ah fablous, i was just looking for that, the steam store had a subtle demo option but i was unsure

wintry chasm
#

I'd do the Non-Steam free trial that I linked

#

Non-Steam and Steam licences for this game aren't the same and are incompatible with each other. If you get the Non-Steam trial you still have the choice of going the Steam or Non-Steam route but if you go for the Steam free trial you HAVE to go the Steam route

#

If that makes sense

rancid vector
#

I think i get it,

#

The web version is compatable with steam

drifting mural
#

i managed to buy the game from my region, thanks to all that helped on here!

lost sinew
#

my friend switched mains from dragoon to dancer at 64. his retainers are dragoons. he's upset. do dancer retainers start at level 60, or level 1?

timber fossil
#

lv60

lost sinew
#

heck yeah

timber fossil
#

oh

#

retainer

#

sorry

#

idk about that

lost sinew
#

lol

timber fossil
#

probably lv1

lost sinew
#

yeah that seems likely.

#

but... he's really upset lol

timber fossil
#

i've never heard of any retainer starting at higher level.

lost sinew
#

because he fails hard as a dragoon

#

and he's been diligently leveling his retainers

timber fossil
#

why would he want to reset the retainer's job?

lost sinew
#

he can't level them past 64

gloomy ice
#

You can change their jobs but make sure you don't reset their level.

lost sinew
#

they are locked to his dragoon's level

#

ooooh you can keep level and change jobs?

gloomy ice
#

Costs 30 ventures for a retainer job change iirc

#

Talk to the retainer vocate and ask about assigning a job. They should be able to purchase a license to turn them into a dancer.

lost sinew
#

hooray potential good news.

#

i have relayed this info to him.

slate arrow
#

no you can't switch a retainer job after it's set

#

if you want to reset it it's back down to level 1

#

unless you buy a skip potion

wintry chasm
#

@rancid vector kinda, it just lets you keep that choice for a bit. If you actually buy the game Non-Steam route you're stuck using Non-Steam and vice versa if you go the Steam route. It's just in terms of free trial you have more choice with Non-Steam

lost sinew
#

obsidian patio
#

If the retainer is a lancer it should work

lost sinew
#

i think they are dragoons.

timber fossil
#

retainers don't show advanced job titles

obsidian patio
#

Yes they can

timber fossil
#

wait really

lost sinew
#

they can have jobs

timber fossil
#

lol i've been donig it wrong then

#

omg lmao

lost sinew
#

lol

obsidian patio
#

The only thing it does for them is let them wear job-specific gear

#

So you don’t miss much

lost sinew
#

and it makes them cooler

timber fossil
#

ah okay

slate arrow
#

once you hit level 30 for a base class you can upgrade it to a job, but it effects nothing besides giving them the ability to wear job gear

lost sinew
#

that said it's nice to be able to give them the free 430 left side gear

#

you can even buy multiple copies of it

slate arrow
#

you have to get them to level 50 for all expansion jobs up to stormblood, or level 60 for ShB jobs

Where do I input the recruitment code I got from a friend? 2think

gloomy ice
#

Mogstation. There should be an option to enter a referral code on the Additional Services page

full compass
#

Awesome, thank you!

icy quiver
#

Hey guys, going through stormblood here; I really want to see the flavor text in cutscenes that happen to be gender/race specific (apparently my guy friends didn't get to hit on magnai?), is there anywhere I can look?

tough solstice
#

do I only need 1 umbrite to pass the a dream fulfilled anima quest?

leaden ginkgo
#

Need like max 75

#

Minimum 65

obsidian patio
#

60-80 depending on your luck

tough solstice
#

Do I need crystal sand too

timber fossil
#

@icy quiver you can rewatch custscenes in your Inn Room. Forgot exactly what it's called. It's one of the interactble item in your room.

tough solstice
#

or is it optional which one

#

I use

leaden ginkgo
#

@icy quivertry the inn at the book in the room you can view cutscenes

obsidian patio
#

You need both

leaden ginkgo
#

Have to use both the sand and umbrite

icy quiver
#

Mmm yeah, but I kinda wanna see what dialogue would be like if I was a guy or an Au'ra, does it give me that option?

leaden ginkgo
#

No

#

Have to be that race/gender

timber fossil
#

fantasia into one lol, even then, i'm not sure if the flavor text changes? I'd imagine it would. I don't think they store them specifically how you watched them the first time.

leaden ginkgo
#

Itll change

#

It only reflects current character settings

#

No way they have the storage for such a thing lol

timber fossil
#

cool

#

yeah lol

icy quiver
#

Mmm, garland tools showed me the options guys got for this particular dialogue; though it happened in a cutscene. I've seen garlondtools not show the cutscene dialogue before... but oh well, this works for now. Thanks!

Idk what the Enfeeblements are

#

debuffs

obsidian patio
#

Stuff like paralyse, slow, heavy, damage down

#

I think damage over time counts too

silent pike
#

So I’m plotting out what content I’m doing post-HW. Normal raids past ARR have a roulette queue and people do them, correct?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

silent pike
#

Cool then I will do those

#

And where is the poetics exchanger for 60 cap?

wintry chasm
#

Idyllshire

#

a Heavensward area

wintry chasm
#

It's in the main central building with the 3 girls. You want the Shire gear @silent pike

silent pike
#

I just finished HW yeah

#

Since there isn’t a nice google doc guide like there is for post-ARR I’m planning things out myself

#

So I don’t miss anything

wintry chasm
#

It's not super difficult

#

do 8-man raid
do 24-man raid
after a few patches I'd probably do the HW 3.0 story retrospective in the manor because it's really nice

#

and well...it's not hard to find all the optional dungeons

#

They are just everywhere as bluequest

silent pike
#

Yeah I’ll do all that and hildy. But he doesn’t come back until 3.2

quasi cosmos
#

hey

#

anyone have time to give a new player some tips?

leaden ginkgo
#

As a gladiator, which of the attacks (up to level 25) will cancel the enemy's attack? Like when the enemy has an orange attack zone

#

I tried the newer stun and it works

#

But the first stun attack (3) doesn't seem to work very well

#

And I get hit

#

Also! Is there a world on Aether that's best for people who like to craft and sell?

#

I'm on Cactuar and stuff doesn't sell too good

obsidian patio
#

You’ll just have to take a look through the marketboard and see what sells well

leaden ginkgo
#

Nooo

obsidian patio
#

Activity will definitely pick up in 5.2 when a bunch of players come back

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean, where do people buy more and craft less?

obsidian patio
#

Same thing, go to other worlds and look at their markets

leaden ginkgo
#

🐩

obsidian patio
#

Though I do notice Gilgamesh and Sargatanas usually at the lower end of prices for the most part

quasi cosmos
#

can someone please help me out :/

leaden ginkgo
#

I noticed that, too

#

How can I help you????

#

Pizzaboy

#

🐽

quasi cosmos
#

i don't really know what to be doing

obsidian patio
#

Stick to the story quests ( msq ) for the most part and do most bluequest for the content they unlock

#

Normal sidequests can be avoided for the most part since they don’t give good experience except at the low levels

#

!faq newplayertips

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

This has a bunch of other general tips in it

quasi cosmos
#

I might just make a new character

#

how do i talk in my group

#

in game

patent cave
#

which tank do you find has the most keybinds between pld and drk?

leaden ginkgo
#

@quasi cosmos please, look up the Active Guide section and Lodestone

patent cave
#

havent tried tanking yet

leaden ginkgo
#

It explains that :p

#

Active guide can be accessed within the game and has all you need to know. If not, check out Lodestone website - official guide

obsidian patio
#

PLD and DRK are pretty equal in keybinds

leaden ginkgo
#

@leaden ginkgo I have noticed that the stun ability does stop enemies from casting their special attacks. However, using the skill that says it prevents actions does not seem to work for me at all. Each and every time I have used the ability that stops an action it has failed to work properly. I basically just removed the action stopping ability from my bars and I only use the stun ability.

obsidian patio
#

Interject/Interrupt only works if the cast bar is flashing

leaden ginkgo
#

I have been unable to make it work under any conditions at lower levels. Maybe at higher levels it will be more useful, but it does not work all that well at low levels and it makes more sense to just blanket stun the target at that point.

random warren
#

dont try at lower levels

#

the bosses cast stupidly quick

#

in like tam tara

#

the interrupts more for higher level content

scarlet arrow
#

there are a limited number of abilities that interject can be used on. Best example I can think of atm is the final boss in the Sunken Temple of Qarn has a Paralyze attack that can be interrupted

random warren
#

earliest you can interrupt mindflayers water/thunder in tam tara

#

but you wont

#

unless you flat out pre empt it

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks for the information. I was beginning to worry maybe I was just really bad at using the ability, lol.

@leaden ginkgo interject

#

oh they answered you already

#

sorry

patent cave
#

which do you find typically more in demand, healers or tanks?

#

it seems to be tanks in most MMO's

#

i havent experienced end game yet, going through MSQ at a leisurely pace

#

bit less than halfway through stormblood

leaden ginkgo
#

which do you find typically more in demand, healers or tanks?
um...

#

both I guess

#

the only exception being ARouls

#

at least for me

languid kernel
#

im 52 scholar and i cant figure out how to get aetherflow guage

#

i cant use lustrate and idont understand how to get the resource

wintry chasm
#

Aetherflow @languid kernel

#

That and dissipation later is the only way to get aetherflow stacks

scarlet arrow
#

!action Aetherflow

languid kernel
#

oh

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Aetherflow** : lvl 45 SCH (60.0 second cooldown)

Restores 10% of maximum MP.
Additional Effect: Aetherflow III
Can only be executed while in combat.

languid kernel
#

the skill says nothing about that damn

wintry chasm
#

@patent cave Healers are more in demand than tanks but compared to DPS yeah they both are generally "in demand"

#

I mean...that's true iqqdq but I'm pretty sure the game told you how to get aetherflow when it gave you the gauge

languid kernel
#

ya i didnt read that popup xd

wintry chasm
#

Well...that's your fault

languid kernel
#

np i know now

night minnow
#

Hey guys, I am stuck at a quest where you need to kill Ifrit in the story (Lord of the Inferno quest) and nobody has been queueing now for about an hour. Is there anything I can do to get through it alone somehow?

stray saffron
#

let's check language settings in DF real quick

#

what data center are you on?

night minnow
#

Chaos, Louisoux

#

Close enough xD

stray saffron
#

ok, so you should have every language checked in duty finder settings

night minnow
#

Oh, thanks, and for future reference, what is the most popular English heavy EU center?

stray saffron
night minnow
#

I managed to find it, thank you so much

stray saffron
#

i would imagine they're about the same overall, but some individual servers on EU have high numbers of french and german speakers. i don't have any hard numbers, but there should be a lot of english speakers on both DCs

night minnow
#

Awesome, thanks for the info

static yacht
#

Also its like 2 am in germany

wintry chasm
#

@night minnow Yeah it shouldn't matter

#

Not only is Louisoix not really an unofficial non-english server like Shiva or Moogle

#

But also queues for content are done across the datacenter

#

My assumption on why it's taking you so long is because you're
A) a DPS which would make it take like 15 mins normally, maybe a bit shorter
B) queuing at 1/2AM when people are asleep

#

Both of which don't help at all Retrace

night minnow
#

Tfw a mmo discord is roasting your sleeping habbits 😦

wintry chasm
#

It's just looking out for you :3

night minnow
#

😄 I'mma chilling with an 103F fever on a sick leave , people sleeping slowing down my God killing smh

obsidian patio
#

Not to tell you what to do, but you probably shouldn’t be playing with a fever that high, it’s almost high enough to warrant a hospital visit.

native field
#

He is a Slav, we Slavs can handle that. Warm milk and honey.

night minnow

And keyword there being almost 😄 On a serious note it's coming down right about now it seems so I am free to sleep without worry, thanks for the concern though, have a good night all

marble drift
#

Real quick what does the in game error message of "This plot of land is not ready for purchase" actually mean?

#

is it like...not available for private buyers or??

twilit arch
#

means it still on its hidden timer

marble drift
#

and Im assuming that because its hidden, there isnt a way I can find out how long it will take for it to go up for sale

twilit arch
#

plots that have already been purchased once go on a hidden timer once they're relinquished or have been auto demolished

#

correct, just have to keep trying to buy it

marble drift
#

do we know the maximum and minimum durations of these timers?

twilit arch
#

no

marble drift
#

so I could be sitting here for a straight week

obsidian patio
#

It generally opens after 24 hours at most

twilit arch
#

its really unlikely to be a straight week, but the timer can exceed 24hrs

leaden ginkgo
#

so I just unlocked the swimming mount and cant dismount

#

im stuck and cant dismount at all

obsidian patio
#

The action to dismount should be on a bar that temporarily replaced your first one

leaden ginkgo
#

i saw it there before, but now its gone

jade quartz
#

What swimming mount do you mean?

#

If you’re on pc, dismount should be on the last button of your hotbar 1

#

I.e. the equals key on your keyboard by default

sturdy mason
#

Is there a way to turn in the quest early without finishing all the nodes once I reach max?

obsidian patio
#

Mine all the nodes

#

No way to finish those early

sturdy mason
#

k

junior yacht
#

you can also right-click on the "mounted" buff to remove it

#

which causes you to dismount

leaden ginkgo
#

i changed the = to something else awhile ago so no go

#

so im jstu sitting on the fking mount

junior yacht
#

you can also right-click on the "mounted" buff to remove it
which causes you to dismount

jade quartz
#

Can you show us your hotbar?

leaden ginkgo
#

i just right clciekd it worked ty

#

leaden ginkgo

#

Trade mentor, PvP mentor

#

And just the crown for omni-mentor

leaden ginkgo

my dismount action somehow disppeared

jade quartz
#

You’re just on a regular mount

#

Press the mount button again wearycarby

leaden ginkgo
#

because i got off the swimming mount through right click but im trying to find the dismount action that goes on the hotbaer

jade quartz
#

It’s not a quest-specific mount that needs a dismount button

#

There is no such thing

#

I’m not sure what swimming mount you’re on about

#

All mounts can swim

slate arrow
#

dismount is only for quest mounts or specific mounts that come with actions

leaden ginkgo
#

the stingray you get the first time when you unlock diving

slate arrow
#

that's a quest mount

jade quartz
#

You don’t have that mount

slate arrow
#

for all other mounts you dismount the regular way

jade quartz
#

You were put on it for a quest

leaden ginkgo
#

o i see thats not an owned mount

slate arrow
#

yeah those were introduced with the HW beast tribe quests where you can mount a mount you don't own for a quest

jade quartz
#

Have you never used a mount until now? 👀😰

slate arrow
#

SB is the first instance where it appears in the MSQ I think

jade quartz
#

It’s assumed you put your mount on your hotbar somewhere

#

Press button to mount

#

Press the same button to dismount

#

Unsheathe weapon key also makes you dismount

#

Is Samurai as overly complex as it seems?

leaden ginkgo
#

ty 🙂

shy vessel
#

SAM needs to do a 60s loop rotation to do optimal damage

#

But that's at level 80

leaden ginkgo
#

Its dummy easy but to get max dps you're on a bit of a schedule with your rotation

#

Learning the rotation is easy and it all comes down to lining up your oGCDs/midare/tsubame with other raid buffs

#

Otherwise its mostly muscle memory

untold ermine
#

Ok,. Is it “any idiot can do it” easy,. Or “Any Savage Raider can do it” easy? There’s levels to this shit....

leaden ginkgo
#

Its "a person who can read tooltips and look up the rotation" ez

untold ermine
#

Like my mother telling me something she cooked isn’t spicy but it burns my mouth when I eat it lmao.

#

I see

leaden ginkgo
#

Id say its confusing but eventually itll just click

untold ermine
#

Like I said, I literally unlocked it and then ignored it for a whole expansion

#

I have a thing about unlocking things ingame and then not doing them. Just to get the Blue exclamation point off my map

leaden ginkgo
#

Just know what the middle hit of each combo gives, keep those same buffs up and use midare setsugekka with e sens and keep up dot with 1 sen

#

And eventually when you unlock kenki, know where on the mob to hit the positional requirement of 2 of your combo finishers

#

Again, very confusing at first but if you put in effort to learn what each ability does and get the muscle memory down, itll feel better

untold ermine
#

I see. Maybe I’ll give it a shot for S&G.

leaden ginkgo
#

Most jobs boil down to "read your tooltips and then implement" so after your 4th/5th job it shouldn't be too hard learning any new job

knotty spindle
#

Make sure to reread, or at least skim through, everything. RDMs received 2-3 new aoe skills that were unlocked before 50 so that threw a lot of RDMs into the low dps area for a few weeks.

leaden ginkgo
#

That and the mp shortage of 2019

#

You rezzed like 3 people in a fight and you were low mp for the rest

knotty spindle
#

Yeah, that was super rough for them. Also, if the fight starts lasting for 10+ minutes, you were slowing bottoming out as if you raised.

leaden ginkgo
#

At least they learned, not nearly as bad now

#

Is ARR the longest of the expansions?

#

Yes

knotty spindle
#

Kinda, 2.0-2.5 has the largest number of fetch quests

leaden ginkgo
#

Since it IS the base with 50 levels and over 100+ quests in post game

#

Notorious post game is for being the "Gauntlet" to Heavensward

knotty spindle
#

Also, the credits for 2.0 currently holds the world record for longest game credits.

leaden ginkgo
#

Which has less buttons to push at max level: Paladin or Warrior? This is purely a curious question more than anything else.

knotty spindle
#

Common saying: “Your last chance to quit this game is the 2.x quests, after that, this game owns you.”

leaden ginkgo
#

They did do a LOT of work to make 2.0 WAY better than 1.0 after they royally fucked up so it seems about right the credits take another umbral era

#

Warrior

knotty spindle
#

WAR has less buttons to press

leaden ginkgo
#

If you arent using a 3 button rotation youre spamming fell cleaves

#

Sounds like my kind of thing then, lol. I find I have a hard time concentrating on mechanics if I am worrying about long rotations. So, I want to ease myself into the game a little better by starting with the one which has less buttons to push and I can expand from there when I get more comfortable.

#

WAR is the perfect "watch your enemies" tank while PLD is a more " watch your friends" tank

#

Get past the conal aoe starter jank and youve mastered this class

robust magnet
#

Is there a reason I can't overmeld Shire gear?

knotty spindle
#

Definitely, one of the world racers for ultimate made a similar comment where WAR’s kit is simple enough that they can spend more time watching the boss.

leaden ginkgo
#

It is not an unaugmented craftable set

#

The only things you can overmeld are stuff you can make your own self

knotty spindle
#

You can’t overmeld non-crafted sets period.

robust magnet
#

Oh.

leaden ginkgo
#

Its most common to see overmelders in current unaugmented crafted gear or crafter/gatheres not using script gear

#

Thanks for the information guys. I will finish unlocking the PLD job just because I am level 29 on it and then I will switch over and start working on unlocking WAR. Looks like WAR will be better for me and I can pick the PLD back up at a later time.

#

That's insaneeee lmfaooo

#

world record? Nahhh

knotty spindle
#

You usually see overmelded gear on serious endgame crafters or serious raiders during the first month of a raid tier roughly.

leaden ginkgo
#

I told google on you and she said I was right

#

:p

#

Did not know that either tbh

robust magnet
#

hmm ok, thanks EreshLove

knotty spindle
#

Important note: Overmelding gets expensive. For endgame raiders, the costs are justified since they don’t spend much elsewhere. For endgame crafters, they can almost make that money back in an instant. Overall, the huge cost is justified by the room for error that the additional stats create

leaden ginkgo
#

Store related question again srry; can I just buy shadowbringers for my friend to play? Says it requires a realm reborn to play but i remember buying this one only? Unless i have forgotten?

#

@leaden ginkgo yeah, that's how it is for me, too. I try attack number 3 (first stun that you get) - it works at times but it's a little weird. Then the next stun works very well and that ability you mentioned - I don't see what it does. Maybe it needs to be timed perfectly?

knotty spindle
#

@leaden ginkgo ARR is the base game. Shadowbringers is all the expansions until now.

leaden ginkgo
#

So it has arr? ^^;

knotty spindle
#

No, you need ARR since it’s the base.

leaden ginkgo
#

Shit lol

knotty spindle
#

ARR is 2.x while Shadowbringers contains 3.0-5.x.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok I think I got ^^ complete edition?

#

5 pounds more

knotty spindle
#

Seems about right. Complete edition contains everything from 2.0-5.x from the looks of it, so definitely worth it.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ty^^!

#

Am I allowed to gather more than one timeworn map in my inventory?

You can stick them in the saddle bag and retainers and gather more though

Are you see you didn’t get a map already?

Check your Timers

It’s daily

Oh, it's daily? :O

And yeah, I'm sure that I didn't have any maps when I was looking :c

red junco
#

can an exterior wall for a mansion be usable on a smaller house too?

#

or is it set in stone that it NEEDS to be a mansion

raven sage
#

It has to be a mansion

#

But I don't think any walls are exclusive to any size unless I've been living under a rock so there should always be smaller sizes of them

SAM gear is Slaying, right?

leaden ginkgo
#

striking/slaying

untold ermine
#

both?

obsidian patio
#

Striking for Left-side, Slaying for Right-side

untold ermine
#

weird

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah they divide leftside among specific jobs but just divide right side by mainstat

knotty spindle
#

You want to get additional accessories for your SAM/DRG alt to raid?

leaden ginkgo
#

holdover from when they wanted drg to be really tanky vs physical damage because flavor or something

knotty spindle
#

Also gear appearance

#

Whats the deal with drg having its own left side? Just appearance?

Yes, mostly nowadays

how long do you have to wait to sell something you buy on the marketboard

There's no lockout like that, you could resell it immediately if you want

But if it's equipment, and you start to soulbond it, you can never sell it on the MB

untold ermine
#

.

#

whoops

leaden ginkgo
#

Can someone give me a heads up on why 2.1-2.5 is so infamous?

quartz shale
#

you're looking at 100+ MSQ quests in that chunk

slate arrow
#

each patch has like

#

20 MSQ quests

#

and 80% of the quests are very insignificant

#

it's also the reason to blame why we have like 20 level 50 dungeons

#

and like 10 level 50 trials

leaden ginkgo
#

They're all lvl 50 tho right?

slate arrow
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank god yoshifacepalm

#

ARR so far has been underwhelming

#

Hopefully HW picks up the pace

slate arrow
#

2.1 to 2.5 will be mostly underwhelming until 2.5 or so personally

#

there's just too much filler and not enough plot besides alphy going "haha look im a grand company commander now"

leaden ginkgo
#

Ikr

#

90% of ARR is fetch quests and I've been fed scraps of the story throughout the entire 2.0

slate arrow
#

oh and "hey i'm second in command now so go run and do WoL stuff for me ty"

quartz shale
#

doesnt most of post-ARR also help set up Stormblood?

slate arrow
#

2.4 introduces doma yes

#

er well

obsidian patio
#

bits and pieces but not majorly

slate arrow
#

2.3 or so

#

but it's just more an excuse to introduce rogue and ninja

leaden ginkgo
#

So far ARR is a solid C tier

ok so here is a dumb question. how do I revive a squadron member on a command mission?

slate arrow
#

there's an item you can buy from your GC

untold ermine
#

dumb ass me let the healer get ganked by the giant tonberry.

#

so i am just screwed at this point?

slate arrow
#

no just go die to an add

#

just set your squad to retreat

#

and they'll just follow

leaden ginkgo

How many msq's does 2.0 have?

slate arrow

no attack

untold ermine
#

ok thanks

slate arrow
#

about 100 give or take

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm about to play a second ARR 😭

slate arrow
#

eyup

obsidian patio
#

the leveling MSQ is around 181 according to my calculation

#

give or take a few quests since each of the starting city's MSQ for 1-15 aren't the same quest amount

slate arrow
#

you can buy these from your GC shop

#

functions like a stackable phoenix down

#

however you can only use them on your GC

untold ermine
#

Marauder Squadron dudes suuuuck

slate arrow
#

they do indeed

#

gld is the best since they can use hallowed ground

untold ermine
#

switching mine back to Gladiators.

slate arrow
#

MRD only has holmgang which only works with a coordinated party

#

and squadrons are

#

not coordinated

untold ermine
#

was just running a mission to try the Samurai lol.

#

i kinda get the basic combo, but i don't think a command mission was the best idea to try it.

near depot
#

Does your damage matter have something to do with dungeon loot? I’m better gettin loot as a healer

slate arrow
#

nope

#

its your role

#

do you know how the need/greed system works?

#

chances are if you're a healer everyone else is passing on loot

#

especially at low levels

shy vessel
#

Need > Greed

#

But you can only Need if you can actually equip the item in question

quartz shale
#

slight correction

shy vessel
#

Please do

quartz shale
#

only able to Need if you can equip it on the class you are right then

shy vessel
slate arrow
#

also an exception on ARR and HW loot where it's based on if it's your primary stat instead

#

especially for HW accessories

#

since for some reason accessories are not job locked until stormblood

near depot
#

Wait so why is the loot mostly not healer?

untold ermine
#

so at its base level, the main idea with SAM is to keep the two buffs up, and then build Sen to use on the the 2-Sen attack (for aoe) and the 3-Sen attack (for single target, and weebness)?

#

while doing mechanics and not standing in stupid

#

that about right?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

also, your AoE combos add 15(?) seconds to both buffs so you do the 2 single target buffs and then just use AoE to maintain the buffs

untold ermine
#

for aoe, I am not finishing the single target combo, because the aoe combo adds the SEN i need to do the aoe finisher

#

i'm just getting the buffs up then switching to the aoe combos?

slate arrow
#

either or

#

personally i'd still finish the combos because hey it's a free sen instead of going like 5 GCDs without getting a sen

untold ermine
#

basically 3 combos and a finisher, with the finisher depending on how many of the combos you execute first.

leaden ginkgo
#

So I need to activate something to getTmaps? I've explored 10 different unspoiled locations and no maps @_@

slate arrow
#

later on you get the ability to convert your sen into a resource called kenki which you can spend on a single target or aoe ability

shy vessel
#

Keep Higanbana up

slate arrow
#

(which is also generated on landing weaponskills as well)

shy vessel
#

and buffs

#

spam Midare

untold ermine
#

yeah I see those skills coming up as I level (not even sure I AM going to level this tho), and that's where i think I will be extra confused.

slate arrow
#

for level 50

leaden ginkgo
#

exact worth depends on level and how many targets but not a bad strat in aoe to use meikyo to grab shifu+jinpu buffs then start aoe spam

slate arrow
#

do Single Target to get both buffs and 2 sen

#

spend sen on midare

#

do AoE, keep using midare

#

repeat

#

for single target only: just repeat your combo, midare, apply higanbana once every minute

untold ermine
#

and of course my first DF run for Sam had to be aurum fuckin vale. smh.

shy vessel
#

oof

#

I think you get synced to 49

#

2 targets: build 2 sen with single target skills > Tenka
3 or more targets: Fuga > Oka/Mangetsu until 2 sen > Tenka

trail rivet
#

so, i'm a bit colorblind. can someone tell me what the colors are for the tiers on fflogs? i'm not sure if there's blue/purple or yellow/green or... yeah

shy vessel
#

they represent percentiles

junior yacht
#

Grey <- Bad
Green
Blue
Purple
Orange
Gold <- literally number 1

marble minnow
#

I'm trying to level my SAM doing duty finder lvl 50/60/70 dungeons. As a DPS this is obviously a nightmare. Is there an easy way to level or find groups?

shy vessel
#

0-24 is grey, 25-49 is green, 50-74 is blue, 75-94 is purple, 95-98 is orange, 99 is pink, 100 is gold

trail rivet
#

great, thank you

#

i was getting the green and orange confused and thinking one of them might be yellow, probably lol

shy vessel
#

oof

trail rivet
#

and blue/purple as well

shy vessel
#

yeah, just go off by the numbers then

trail rivet
#

also missmalevolence, i believe lv50/60/70 dungeons don't give much exp compared to others

junior yacht
#

honestly just look at the actual percentages

#

they do not

trail rivet
#

you're actually better off doing the 59 than 60, 69 better than 70, etc

junior yacht
#

the level cap dungeons give terrible xp

shy vessel
#

^

trail rivet
#

that said i think for dps what i've heard is you might want to try to get deep dungeon parties?

#

i also have another question: if i use the "live logging" thing on ff logs uploader, does it upload every run, even the wipes? or only clears?

shy vessel
#

You can upload wipes, but the only ones that show up on your profile are clears

trail rivet
#

ah ok

bright badger
#

A bit of an odd question, does anyone know which soundtrack disc the stormblood patch content music is in, e.g. ||Tsukuyomi||?

trail rivet
#

oh, i have one more question. so i just did a raid and it got uploaded. on my summary page for the trial (eden prime) it shows me as a 21. but when i click that 21 and see the damage list for that run, it shows 25. why are they different?

thank you pile of cats and swordsmaster for answering my fflogs question. was in raid so didn't reply

Tonberry and Kujata on Elemental @blissful lava

Those two servers are the primary English speaking servers on the Japanese Datacenters

Mind if I DM you about this ?

#

Just ask here

Will these two servers match my situation?

You can play on any server/datacenter regardless of your region

I heard about connectivity and Ping something?

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, JP datacenters are probably further away from you than EU

Oh

#

So..?

ivory gull
#

Is the next Ultimate more likely going to be after E5-8 or E9-12 ?

fresh lodge
#

Probably after E8S

Which means you’ll likely going to get higher ping and possible packet loss

blissful lava
#

Oh boy..

#

So Kujata and Tonberry servers might not be a good idea for me huh?

leaden ginkgo
#

they still haven't said for sure whether they're doing 2 or 3 so they're almost certainly gonna leave that open by doing the next in 5.3

You can try pinging the IP addresses for the EU and JP datacenters to see how they compare

@leaden ginkgo im more confused now

@obsidian patio oh

#

why not just start with Blizzard IV instead?

you can't use blizz 4 without enochian

#

All 3 datacenters in NA are located in west coast, correct ?

obsidian patio
#

That’s fine

#

Oh okay

#

Yep

#

I open that link? And

obsidian patio
#

Do you have a windows or Mac?

#

Open up Command Prompt

shy vessel
#

ping IP address of whatever server

#

Okay

#

How do I know if a server is good or not or if it suits my location

#

?

shy vessel
#

the lower the ping, the better

#

@leaden ginkgo you mean Fire IV?

#

Ara Ara..

frosty badger
#

after what

leaden ginkgo
#

blizz 3->enochian->thunder 3->blizz 4->fire 3->fire 4

#

that's the basic opener, not including ley line, swift/triple etc because I'm not qualified to say exactly where they should go

#

@leaden ginkgo hella late reply, but no one answered you afaik- to get maps, you dont need to go to unspoiled nodes. ANY node works i think. you may or may not have done the quest to unlock them though.

rugged flicker
#

Quick question: Can these Ishgard crafting quests be used for any crafting job at any level?

slate arrow
#

which quests?

#

if you're talking about the ishgard deliveries: above level 20 yes, but they're best done above level 40

rugged flicker
#

Why's that? I was thinking of using these to level some ones I haven't done yet.

quartz shale
#

leves are stupid easy to begin leveling them with

rugged flicker
#

Yeah but I figured I could at least do something that would get me cool shit while I do 'em 😛

slate arrow
#

the rewards/craft ratio below 40 makes them just not worth

#

especially when even NQ turn ins give a dumb amount of EXP per leve

rugged flicker
#

Should I use it for levelling higher level jobs though as opposed to using a fully-leveled job?

slate arrow
#

yes since the EXP means it's easier to gather for in comparison to leves however I used leves the entire time since I had leveled gatherers and simply just crafted the leveling gear i needed

quartz shale
#

for some crafters, leves are stupidly faster than trying to use ishgard too

slate arrow
#

really it just falls down to how much effort and/or gil are you willing to put in

quartz shale
#

Alc was....... stupidly easy

rugged flicker
#

I was originally planning on doing carpentry next, but I kinda wanna knock out one of the other crafting stories, and both of the jobs I have fall under that same one. So I'm gonna do culinarian.

quartz shale
#

eh, skip CUL

rugged flicker
#

It'll go good with my character RP-wise too.

slate arrow
#

cul has absolutely no cross crafts

#

even the quests CUL shares in the Facet quests almost all the crafts are ALC iirc

quartz shale
#

unless you're willing to pump a lot of gil into it, it's going to take a while to level, and it has almost no tangible benefits

rugged flicker

Why does it take so long to level?

slate arrow
#

it doesn't but food tends to be expensive and annoying to craft

#

most leve turn ins can be anywhere from 3-6 items a craft

quartz shale
#

it's less about the time involved gato

slate arrow
#

and then you have fish

quartz shale
#

it's the fact there's almost zero profit to be had out of it

#

unless you're on the bleeding edge

#

for raid foods

obsidian patio
#

The start of a raid tier is always the most lucrative time to craft

#

gotta take the advantage if you want the big gil

rugged flicker
#

I mean, I was gonna do it more for fun than profit, I'm already making an okay amount through my weaver and leather working jobs.

quartz shale
#

CUL's gonna suck out any profit xD

slate arrow
#

ultimately it's up to you

#

I just leveled all my crafters out of sheer boredom if I'm being honest

#

(and fisher)

rugged flicker
#

Well the only other thing you can do for nourishing is alchemist.

quartz shale
#

might as well do alc then

#

it's really stupid easy to level

rugged flicker
#

By the way, culinarians can also do table foods and stuff. Could see my self wanting to use that.

blissful lava
#

So.. I'm not sure but.. I heard there is an attempt to make players able to transfer from different DCs, is this true?

rugged flicker
#

Fuck it, I'mma do it.

blissful lava
#

World Visit*

slate arrow
#

yes but not for a while

obsidian patio
#

no concrete plans, but it's something they want to do

slate arrow
#

they said it's planned but it's like a surprise at best due to the overhaul of server architechture they'd have to do

gloomy ice
#

Yoshi plans to someday create a mega-server. A single DC. But it will be years before they get to it. It's an idea at best for now. Something they aspire to. Not in the workshop quite yet.

slate arrow
#

all the servers per zone are already in the same building

blissful lava
#

Oh... that would be nice

slate arrow
#

basically it would be like eureka if they did so

blissful lava
#

Kinda like rejoining the World

slate arrow
#

since eureka laid the groundwork for cross world functionality

blissful lava
#

I thought Eureka was Nice, instance wise anyways

slate arrow
#

eureka was actually the first time players could play with people across the DC not just their server

blissful lava
#

Oh

untold ermine
#

wow, whoo shit...

blissful lava
#

I loved that concept from Eureka

slate arrow
#

and then they applied eureka to DF and other servers and now we have world visit

untold ermine
#

Midare crit with Hissatsu: kaiten...

#

wow, ok..

quartz shale
#

you think that's a big number?

gloomy ice
#

Direct Crit Foul is the real stuff

untold ermine
#

i'm usually a tank.

#

also, i have basically no gear on SAM at the moment.

#

just the crap they give you to start.

quartz shale
#

6 digit hits with Quad Technical Finish is a regular occurrence with the right party comp

#

think the highest i've personally had so far was just shy of 145k

untold ermine
#

so yeah, the first time i used it i was like "ooh damn." lol

slate arrow
#

this is a level 50 sam mind

quartz shale
#

true xD

slate arrow
#

the number only get higher from here

untold ermine
#

i'm so absolutely not used to having to switch targets to aoe tho...lol, used to just being able to spam aoes and hit everything, regardless of who I am targetting.

#

or even if i have nothing targetted.

fresh lodge
#

Just want to point out that Diadem was cross World before Eureka

untold ermine
#

isn't diadem coming back as like a gatherer thing at some point?

gloomy ice
#

Kind of miss the original version of Diadem now that you mention it. Brachiosaur was a thing to behold.

fresh lodge
#

Also DF has been cross world for years so I have no idea what you're on about Eureka being the first

quartz shale
#

DF's an instance 'field'

slate arrow
#

who o ps i forgot about diadem

quartz shale
#

eureka's a full on map though, isnt it?

obsidian patio
#

it's still an instance

slate arrow
#

diadem is also a full map but they're closer related to dungeon instances

obsidian patio
#

there can be multiple instances of an area of eureka

#

it's how BA groups 'cheese' the queue to make new instances just for them to run in peace

fresh lodge
#

Eureka works the exact same way as Diadem and dungeon instances

slate arrow
#

I thought DF used to be server only at one point?

fresh lodge
#

Yeah like back in 2.0

slate arrow
#

ah, i see.

obsidian patio
#

Party Finder was added in 2.1 IIRC, if you were thinking of that.

fresh lodge
#

But PF wasn't cross server until mid HW

spark rock
#

How do I level up a crafter from 70 to 80?

alpine shadow
#

craft

#

and w/ beast tribes

fresh lodge
#

Leve spam in the Crystarium

#

Beast tribe is going to be pretty terrible past 70

spark rock
#

Namazu is kinda useless atm

#

and... Welps, I just reached post SB

#

So grind till I reach ShB?

untold ermine
#

is there anything further that goes on the Kenki Gauge at higher levels, or is it always just the Sword and a Number? is there another element that gets added later?

gloomy ice
#

Nothing gets added to it visually but at higher levels you generate much more kenki way faster.

#

You even get a skill that gives you 50 for free.

near geyser
#

Hey! So I'm downloading the game rn

untold ermine
#

arranging my Gauges on the HUD, so was just wondering about the visuals, pretty much.

near geyser
#

is being stuck at 1mb/s normal?

slate arrow
#

actually, at level 70 you get a skill which allows you to spend 50 kenki for a 800 potency attack

#

every 2 minutes

#

yes, depending on your internet

#

the server connection can be bad sometimes

near geyser
#

I usually download at 10 mb/s

#

I can't make it past 1.1 mb/s rn

slate arrow
#

sounds like the FFXIV download servers are just being slammed ATM then

untold ermine
#

cool. was just curious, cause i know that other jobs had gauges that had additional elements that you only see at higher levels.

#

nice to know that's not an issue here.

slate arrow
#

yeah stormblood and beyond they're relatively consistent in terms of job gauges

gloomy ice
#

SAM's is pretty simple in that regard, yeah.

slate arrow
#

unlike dragoon where there's literally new elements every 10 levels

#

BLM where your rotation changes every 8 levels until 60

shrewd crescent
#

Block strength or block rate for Paladin?

#

Or just go for stats instead

slate arrow
#

item level

gloomy ice
#

Block rate and block strength isn't that important. Just go with the highest level shield you can get for now. Stats aren't that important until end game.

slate arrow
#

also everything gets standardized past 50

#

so until then just go with the highest HQ item level

shrewd crescent
#

Alright

rugged flicker
#

Where exactly does the Ring of Fortune come from?

your choices in the opening cutscenes

#

namely the carriage ride

leaden ginkgo
#

How does the forming party system work?

#

I'm in queue hell rn

slate arrow
#

tl;dr it first checks your current position in the queue and then once you hit #1 it then looks for a healer and tank

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm thinking about canceling the quest and rejoining but idk if thay would make it take longer

slate arrow
#

yes it will take longer

#

since you're leaving the line and going to the back

leaden ginkgo
#

Gotchu

#

Lol my dungeon just started

strong falcon

obsidian patio
#

Send in a support ticket through the mogstation

alpine shadow
#

did you also try relogging into the game?

obsidian patio
#

try emptying out your mailbox and requesting for items too, just in case that works

#

if not then send in a support ticket

strong falcon
#

requesting for items?

obsidian patio
#

it's a button at the top of the mail menu

strong falcon
#

i mean i ordered the thing yesterday, and just logged back in today

#

@obsidian patio gonna try that

obsidian patio
#

called "Request Delivery" IIRC

quartz shale
#

empty mails will prevent delivery still though iirc, so delete empty mails you dont need

#

if you have too many

strong falcon
#

i actually have no mail ^^'

dusk zenith
#

is there an easy way to find what mats are in demand as a gatherer?

alpine shadow
#

Universalis

#

but, probably not that useful if not updated

quartz shale
#

other than checking prices yourself or relying on something that is.... less than morally gray, not really

strong falcon
#

everything seems complicated in this game xD

#

ROFL

dusk zenith
#

is there any moeny to be made as a low level gatherer?

strong falcon
#

the assistance chat telling me "you've reach the maximum number of promotional object"
I NEVER bought anything to you before yesterday xD

obsidian patio
#

a little bit here and there, but you'll have to look at your server's marketboard to see what sells good.

#

in terms of pre-50 as a miner there's these that I find to have good demand
Granite
Limestone
Silver Ore
Effervescent Water
Mythril Ore
Cobalt Ore

#

As for Botanist I found these to be pretty decent
Oak Log
Mahogany Log
Rosewood Log
Humus
Flax

#

but as always, check your marketboard first

gloomy ice
#

@strong falcon Check the second tab in your mailbox. If that's full, it prevents you from receiving anything from the cash shop.

strong falcon
#

i bought the game yesterday

#

i don't have ANY mail, yet, they are saying it's the problem

#

wtf

gloomy ice
#

That's definitely odd. Support might have to take over from here in that case.

strong falcon
#

i'm actually speaking with them in chat

dusk zenith
#

okay thanks

strong falcon
#

and now, they are asking me what i bought, like, WTF you have my account, you have it in front of your eyes, seriously, this is fucked up

quartz shale
#

did you actually get an email saying you had bought stuff?

strong falcon
#

it appears in my payment history on my account in the mog station

quartz shale
#

do you have more than one character?

strong falcon
#

nop, only one,

#

i was careful to send it correctly, i watched some video guide, im a pretty careful person, but seriously, all their systeme, square enix account, mog station, and so on, it's so complicated

quartz shale
#

if the suggestions we gave arent working, there really isnt much else we can do to help beyond saying "talk to support"

strong falcon
#

yeah, sry guys, i kinda delivered my shit here, sry for inconvenience ^^', thanks for your support anyway, you guys and really supportful, really appreciate 🙂

burnt spear
#

so I got to the Drowning City and it requires ilv 370 but the only i370 set I got was a casting one while I'm playing ninja

#

should I have picked the aiming set or something? or should I go somewhere and find the i370 gear for ninja?

#

well i300+

obsidian patio
#

If you have spare tomestones of Poetics you can spend them in Rhalgr's Reach for i390 Scaevan gear that upgrades to i400

burnt spear
#

ahh

#

thanks

#

shoulda checked those

warm raft
#

I heard EU got low population should I play NA instead with some VPN?

warped nest
#

Who told you that?

green grail
#

it's not low population

warm raft
#

uh um I'm new here but I just looked into rants lmao

#

and scrolled in active members currently on discord and seems not too much eu folks

#

I just ask what's your guys opinion

fresh lodge
#

NA population isn't going to mean much if you're not in the timezone

green grail
#

it's very much alive, smaller than NA but not a reason to shoot yourself in the leg with unnecesary lag and that^

I wish we had a single SA server GWsetmyxPeepoSad

warm raft
#

can I see a dispersion anywhere ?

#

but yea I'll stick to EU

#

just wonder what's the difference in playerbase

green grail
#

jp:na:eu populations is like 5:2:1

#

but the bigger the population the more divided it is by multiple datacenters anyways

#

so you end up with the same amount of players you can play with either way

fresh lodge
#

Whats the best solo dungeon to farm Anima light in?

warm raft
#

@green grail you play on Chaos, which server would you recommend?

alpine shadow
#

Omega

#

its one out of two preferred servers

#

the other one is Louisoix

#

but that is the french server?

obsidian patio
#

@fresh lodge I prefer Brayflox Hard, but any level 50 dungeon in the lower end should do

fresh lodge
#

ty

green grail
#

louisoix is not the french server, no

mortal root
#

is there a more condensed guide for e4s cause mtq's is so long i forget half the stuff she says

wintry chasm
#

Moogle is unofficial French @alpine shadow

green grail
#

as condensed as it can get, considering it's a complex fight

mortal root
#

ty

crude relic
#

What materia should I use for SAM and DRG? I'm thinking skillspeed and determination or strength but idk what's the best for those two classes.

wintry chasm
#

SAM at least is a bit complicated with the sks it wants

#

So I suggest you go to The Balance where you can find all this super endgamey fine tuning information

#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
green grail
#

and you can't meld strength cause it's capped on all sam and drg pieces

wintry chasm
#

Just a quick note though you can't meld strength to gear, "main" stats just ate always capped yeah

crude relic
#

I gotcha.

proud willow
#

(also main stat materia doesn't even exist anymore)

crude relic
#

I was thinking it did cuz I think I have some on my retainer XD

obsidian patio
#

They’re still around, they just do nothing for melding

#

But you can still use them to transmute into other materia at mutamix

obsidian elk
#

Serious Question - How do you keep ERPers away until I can afford to transfer off of Goblin?

alpine shadow
#

Block of all /say chat and put yourself on /busy to block all /tell

#

other than that, i dont think you are able to hide player characters

#

without modding

obsidian elk
#

ah

#

modding is against tos right

alpine shadow
#

yeah, but as long you dont affect anyone with it it should go fine

#

(and if you dont tell anybody)

obsidian elk
#

thanks!

alpine shadow
#

depends on what mod you are talking about ofc

leaden ginkgo
#

Can you tag someone in chat?

#

I need a revive

#

Nvm he left :/

alpine shadow
#

First, no.

#

Second, rip

leaden ginkgo
#

Should I do stone vigil or ||Garuda||?

wintry chasm
#

For....leveling?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

wintry chasm
#

Never do trials

#

Ever

#

Roulette trials is ehh for xp

#

but that's it

leaden ginkgo
#

Stone vigil it is

#

I'm struggling with the quest acting the part

#

I'm one level under the enemies so maybe that's why

wintry chasm
#

You're just taking a lot of hits and almost dying?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah

wintry chasm
#

ehh

#

What's your ilvl?

leaden ginkgo
#

45

#

And those 2 soldiers are 46

wintry chasm
#

Your....ilvl?

#

item level

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I check that?

wintry chasm
#

open up your character menu

#

and it'd be above your portrait

#

like

#

*XXX

leaden ginkgo
#

Uhhh

#

I see 0031

wintry chasm
#

Right

#

cool

#

I'd say that's a bit low but not horribly

#

Is that even after you've done the level 45 job quest and got your most of your job gear?

leaden ginkgo
#

Well I have a full set of mythril gear

#

So I figured it'd be enough until I reach level 50

#

So I can get the full paladin armor off the jump

wintry chasm
#

Just...get your job gear

#

No reason not to

wintry chasm
#

also you'd get another skill from the quest so like

#

You shouldn't just leave it

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah you're right

#

Wait

#

If all jobs have job gear

#

What does the drk gear look like?

wintry chasm
#

Jobs get AF gear at every level cap basically but I'll get it's first one

twilit arch
#

drk doesn't get gear from the 45 quest\

wintry chasm
#

^ that too

leaden ginkgo
twilit arch
#

and the gear from the 50 quest is just generic set since they dont have an AF1

leaden ginkgo
#

What's AF1?
