ARR gives a minion, HW and up only gives achievements

#

And titles

rich bay
#

Sightseeing log gives some minions.

sleek peak
#

Also is there any way of getting a notification for duty when im alt-tabbed?

oak ice
rich bay
#

There are also 3rd party apps that can notify you, but that is a grey area ofc.

sleek peak
#

Guildhest duty is... disappointing in exp gain

whole wasp
#

yea. guildhest not very good after level 15

gloomy ice
#

Guildhests are more like tutorials for mechanics that you’ll see in later dungeons. Good info to have but yeah not much incentive to run.

#

I'm not sure how spoiler-safe this channel is meant to be, so I'll spoiler tag my question just in case.

In 5.2, do we know if ||Ruby Weapon is part of the MSQ, or is he seperate from it like Byakko etc was during Stormblood?||

twilit arch
#

its side content like four lords

sullen breach
#

okay cool, thanks

@gloomy ice so how should I get the new gear? Scrips? Or os it like DoW/DoM where the max level scrip is only available at max level? I'm tempted to craft the 5.2 gears but I'm not sure if i'll be able to get to "that level" on time (before the gear becomes irrelevant)

gritty oracle
#

Does the friendship circlet work on retainers?

gloomy ice
#

Facet gear for crafters is currently the best (when fully melded) and that probably isn’t changing until 5.3 or 5.4. Those pieces are probably required to be able to HQ the 5.2 combat sets. Scrip gear is a good stepping stone to be able to make Facet gear on your own but it would probably be much faster to buy the pieces from MB.

whole wasp
#

@gritty oracle nope

gritty oracle
#

Thanks a lot!

atomic mango
#

is there an quest to unlock melding on a DoL

gritty oracle
#

Nope, only crafters can meld.

atomic mango
#

since 5.2 is coming i wanna save gil

#

oh wait

#

not DoL

#

DoH

#

this is how little i use my crafters/gatherers

wintry chasm
#

Central Thanalan

#

At The Bonfire

atomic mango
#

thanks cali, the best mentor

spiral meadow
#

tp to blackbrush station, you'll see the quest

gritty oracle
#

Melding is unlocked by default after a certain point in the MSQ. However, if you do a quest for Mutamix, who's as Cal said in CT, you can unlock "overmelding".

wintry chasm
#

No

#

You need to go to Bonfire to unlock the ability to meld materia yourself

gritty oracle
#

It's not? Huh

atomic mango
#

yeah, thats why i asked

dusky nebula
#

can you switch classes? if so how.

spiral meadow
#

You need to talk to a goblin that's a little away from the Blackbrush Station aetheryte

wintry chasm
#

MSQ bit is just to explain what materia even is

gritty oracle
#

Ah, sorry

atomic mango
#

if im reading the 5.2 liveletter translation right

wintry chasm
#

@dusky nebula when you unlock another class or job just change weapon

spiral meadow
#

he's gonna be off to the east

atomic mango
#

soon i can just use my WVR to meld shit on everything

dusky nebula
#

how do i know if i have unlocked it or not

wintry chasm
#

If you unlocked it they give you the weapon for it

#

eg if you unlocked maurader you probably have an axe somewhere

#

alternatively

#

Go to your character profile

#

and then the class/job section

#

Anything with a level you've unlocked

gritty oracle
#

@dusky nebula After you reach level 10 on your first class, your guild leader will allow you to join other guilds. Go to the guild.of the class, and accept the blue quest "So You Want To Be A (Class)". Then the class will be unlocked for you.

wintry chasm
#

after you reach level 10 and do the level 10 class quest

gritty oracle
#

Well and go through the quest

dusky nebula
#

wuest?

wintry chasm
#

I'm not sure either Cash

#

xD

atomic mango
#

'wuest' cali 2k20

wintry chasm
#

but yeah what the rest of Vie is accurate except the small addition I made

gritty oracle
#

Haha sorry

silent pike
#

I have had the unfortunate opportunity to stumble upon r/talesfromDF right when I started ShB. I’m only like 3 quests in but I’m already getting paranoid. Is it true that people just leave when they get ShB trials in roulette?That ShB queues are doomed to disaster?

gritty oracle
#

There are some jobs, namely expansion jobs, that are acquired differently, but you can access them at level 50 the earliest

wintry chasm
#

No Blitz

dusky nebula
#

should i join the gladiators guild?

gritty oracle
#

If you want to be a gladiator and later paladin, sure

wintry chasm
#

Some people don't like ||Titania|| but honestly it's not a big issue, they'd just complain mostly @silent pike

#

Join everything tbh @dusky nebula

#

No limit

dusky nebula
#

so those are not Player guilds right?

wintry chasm
#

No

#

Player guilds are Free Companies

sleek peak
#

Are there any training dummies anywhere?

whole wasp
#

there are. the easiest to find is probably in summerford farms

#

right next to the aetheryte

mortal root
#

what gear should i be using for lvl 70 gatherer's?

#

particularly btn

leaden ginkgo
#

ello bois, msq skip applies to the wholw server right? So if u transferred into a msq skipped server u would then have it all skipped on that char?

green grail
#

mmmmm no, kinda confused what you're referring to, msq skips are character specific consumables bought on mogstation, do you mean preferred servers? they just have double exp for newly created characters, nothing to do with msq

stray saffron
#

MSQ progress has nothing to do with what server you're on. It's tied to the character.

#

If you skip the MSQ, it will be completed for that character no matter what else you do with that character - transfer servers, change their name, fantasia them. the skipped MSQs are completed forever.

raven sage
#

@mortal root The yellow scrip Landking gear will do for a while

mortal root
#

so i shouldn't bother getting yamashi gear?

stray saffron
#

yamashi at this point would be a lot of work for a set you'll just be working to replace again at 80

mortal root
#

oke ty

#

in that case, best way to farm yellow scrips?

#

im really far behind on botanical folklore too TT

green grail
#

custom deliveries > collectables

mortal root
#

ty

gritty oracle
#

How do collectables work? I don't have enough control/CP for this macro (and hell if I'll craft 100+ items one by one) and can only have 548/1263 collectability. Is that acceptable?

whole wasp
#

the turn-in page itself will tell you whats the miniumum collectability required for rewards.

gritty oracle
#

Ah, thanks!

dusky nebula
#

how can i see my playtime?

raw solstice
#

/playtime, or /ptime for short in-game

whole wasp
#

type /playtime in your in-game chat

dusky nebula
#

aigt

raw solstice
#

it's on a character basis, to note, so if for whatever reason you have more than one character they'll have separate /ptime

sleek peak
#

Are there some outfits that only DNC can put on? Like Class-based outfits?

#

Or that only GNB or only PLD can wear and no other one?

whole wasp
#

yes, every job has their artifact gear.

#

DNC gets theirs at lvl 60 and 80, similar to GNB

#

PLD gets their full set at 50 and so on

sleek peak
#

Artifact gear huh

#

Can i see somewhere how it looks?

open coral
#

It's the same outfit that the dancer girl from the DNC class quests wears

whole wasp
#

those are for lvl 50s, lemme find so higher levels.

sleek peak
#

And Artifact armors are the only class-specific ones right? Others are either Role or Magic/War locked

open coral
#

Correct

whole wasp
sleek peak
#

I assume at lv60 there are no cool outfits and better are on 80

green grail
#

well, i wouldn't really call starting sets artifact gear even if they are job specific

sleek peak
#

Well it has only lv80 artifact

#

Oh ok i see now what he had on mind saying job-specific at 60

#

So theres only one "job-specific" armor set for each class

whole wasp
#

ohright, starting gear isnt really artifact now that i think about it.

sleek peak
#

I assume its not BiS for the classes right?

#

Or Artifact gears are BiS for everyone?

whole wasp
#

not right now. artifact gears are usually upgradable.

sleek peak
#

I remember that on lv50 you could start farming some purple weapons

open coral
#

"Cool" is relative.

sleek peak
#

And there were quest-chains for them and you could upgrade them like 5 times

whole wasp
#

they might become BiS for a very short while after the upgrade patch but raid gear usually trumps it.

spiral meadow
#

You're not talking about Anima weapons, right? You're asking about gear?

whole wasp
#

yea, just the armor

spiral meadow
#

kk

open coral
#

Personally, I'm a big fan of the Ironworks sets.

sleek peak
#

Well now i ask for weapons

#

Oh right the Tomestone sets are for lv50 (ironworks?) and there are more of them later in the expansions right?

open coral
#

Yes, there are poetics gear sets available for 50 (Ironworks), 60 (Torrent/Hellfire/Shire), and 70 (Scaevan + 2 others), as well as current tomestone sets for 80

mortal root
#

shire for 60, scaevan for 70, ronkan/deepshadow for 80

open coral
#

Plus raid and alliance raid gear

#

Basically, there are lots of different endgame sets.

#

For the assorted endgames

sleek peak
#

I remember there was a site with outift sets created by people

#

I also remember there were many lewd outfits ingame

#

Actually ive read somewhere that the creators of the game ban for "lewd" screenshoots?

#

Or was it some troll post

open coral
#

Yoshi P talked, at length, about a more strict enforcement of the policy regarding such things during the most recent liveletter

#

Basically, don't do it, or if you do, don't post it on social media with the FFXIV tag

sleek peak
#

Or just dont show your name

#

Weird kinda lol

open coral
#

It make the game and the community look bad, and (because addons are often involved in the creation thereof) counts as a violation of the ToS

#

Which means it's a bannable offense

spiral meadow
#

so the moral of the story; do what you want, but keep quiet because if we find out we're going to enforce measures to set an example

random warren
#

basically dont be a degen pervo with lalafells and youll be fine

spiral meadow
#

I think their exact words can be found on the subreddit

open coral
spiral meadow
#

yeah, they don't want anyone doing any of that but they don't want to be scanning peoples computers either

random warren
#

i mean they can if they wish

spiral meadow
#

they actually really went to great lengths to clarify where they stand on this

#

key word "they don't WANT to"

random warren
#

but anyway lets not drag the channel ot

open coral
#

I think this still qualifies under the channel, since a question was asked.

spiral meadow
#

is POTD better than leveling roulette for exp?

#

it feels slower tbh

random warren
#

for 1-60 yes

austere dust
#

game often untargets stuff or me. Anyone know what the cause could be?

open coral
#

Depends on whether you're dps or tank/healer

random warren
#

ehva prob got click to remove target set on

open coral
#

Actually, no

random warren
#

character config- mouse

#

disable it

open coral
#

I take that back

spiral meadow
#

guess I'll endure. Should I do floors 1-10 over and over or just go from floors 1-50 if I get a group going?

austere dust
#

ooh

open coral
#

1st leveling roulette of the day is the best.

random warren
#

"enable clicking on field to remove target"

#

and ye always mix roulettes in with potd

#

makes it less mundane

open coral
#

After that, if you're tank/healer, then specific queueing your highest level dungeon is the most efficient.

#

If you're dps... for time spent PotD is nominally faster, but the actual dps earned is about the same per level.

sleek peak
#

How come you use 3rd party programs to do "photoshoots" from the game?

open coral
#

I may also be biased because I don't like PotD

#

And always end up with like, 3 hour queues for it

sleek peak
#

I mean they mostly modify the graphics using reshaders

open coral
#

You don't have to use 3rd party programs

spiral meadow
#

they only talked against parsing and lewd mods, I don't remember them speaking about reshaders.

open coral
#

The /gpose function is quite versatile.

#

You only use a 3rd party app for one of two reasons: color saturations/lighting effects (things like reshade), or to enable lewd

sleek peak
#

enable lewd thinkingudao

#

I assume its not about custom outfits

open coral
#

No

crystal badger
#

how do i change my standing pose....i forgot

#

(after half a year)

warped seal
#

/cpose

sleek peak
#

Social > Emotes > Special > Change pose

open coral
#

Cycle through /cpose

crystal badger
#

thxxx

sleek peak
#

So if its not about custom outfits how other can you lewd things in this game thinkingudao

crystal badger
#

oh and i got these weird feathers

#

what do they do

#

got them cuz i resubbed

sleek peak
#

Can i check how many hours i have ingame

twilit arch
#

/playtime

raw solstice
#

yeah, /playtime, or /ptime for short

#

it's on a per-character basis so if you happen to have any other characters for whatever reason they'll have a separate /ptime

sleek peak
#

Thanks

languid kernel
#

i cant limit my fps to 60, it only gives me the option for 75

#

what can i do to limit it to 60

lament wagon
#

probably because you have a 75hz screen

Helloo, just asking. Do we have a gif of the new eating emote?

leaden ginkgo
#

This might not be the place to ask, but what is the song that plays after you defeat the last boss in a dungeon? is there an extended version of that?

untold ermine
#

So...just hit 80 on Miner and full on yellow Scrips. Where so I spend them for level 80 DoL gear? The Scrip exchange person in the Crystarium won’t sell...

raven sage
#

The 80 set takes white scrips

#

And make sure you have everything unlocked

untold ermine
#

Well shit.

#

I see. Nothing I have done has given me white scrips so far. Just yellow. Probably missing an unlock somewhere.

#

The Scrip Exchange in both Crystarium and Eulmore both tell me they are closed.

spiral meadow
#

you mean this?

#

dunno if there's a super extended version

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes thank you!!!

spiral meadow
#

np!

leaden ginkgo
#

I love that, maybe it’s the feeling of completing an epic dungeon MiqoteHappy

spiral meadow
#

I felt the same way looking for The Twinning final boss theme that I heard in 5.2 trailer, although I think its a remix haven't run The Twinning in a while

raw solstice
#

don't think they had that theme in the 5.2 trailer? But it's The Primals version of Locus, a theme back from alexander

untold ermine
#

So then what should I spend my Yellow scrips on? Aethersand for selling maybe?

spiral meadow
#

@raw solstice so the twinning theme is actually in the fanfest trailer, but its not primals version of locus, they don't sound similar.

#

its probably a remix

raw solstice
#

I dunno what to tell you, the final boss theme from the twinning is the song I mentioned

#

apropos because the final boss is basically an alex prime reskin with repeated mechanics from that fight

#

if you're looking for the overall dungeon theme itself it's called "a long fall"

spiral meadow
#

I was talking about the song that plays during the ruby weapon fight in the 5.2 trailer, I can't find an exact copy

random warren
#

its a remix of Ultima

spiral meadow
#

its probably not out yet, or I'm not looking in the right places

#

ok ty

raw solstice
#

yeah that haha

random warren
#

but it wont be on youtube till patch day

raw solstice
#

mmhmm

random warren
#

as mekkah and dude wont upload till them

One question, If you unlock the Samurai job, do you get the outfit/Costume? Or do you buy it with real money

slate arrow

The relic set from the trailer is given at level 70

#

@spiral meadow thanks a lot <3

thick bolt
#

Hello me and a friend wanted to play but my servers are NA only, can I switch to EU or him to NA?

raw solstice
#

you can transfer to/play on any data center regardless of region

fresh lodge
#

You have to select the EU region back on the main menu

raw solstice
#

just will be a bit higher ping if you're connected to a datacenter in a region different than your own

fresh lodge
#

The Datacenter option

thick bolt
#

Well I more just want to play with friends.

slate arrow
#

you'll have to play on the same datacenter together

raw solstice
#

yeah, that's fine, just mentioning that. But yeah, you can make characters on the same data center/transfer over a character if you've already made them

#

the latter costs money though so you might want to start fresh on the same server, or at least data center, either way

open coral
#

From experience, while it will depend a little bit on your actual location and probably your ISP, the lag between your current region and other region datacenters is pretty minimal. I only see slightly higher lag playing on JP servers (from the US East Coast) than I do when playing on NA servers.

raw solstice
#

that uh, it's a very discernible and tangible difference

open coral
#

It hasn't been, in my experience.

raw solstice
#

for example, let's say someone's on the west coast, they'll have extremely low ping to NA (on the order of 10-20ms if they're real close) but over 200ms to EU

open coral
#

I see maybe an additional half second of latency response.

raw solstice
#

it's pretty drastic

fresh lodge
#

A half second is pretty massive

open coral
#

Not unless you're doing Savage content, really.

fresh lodge
#

Thats a 500 ping difference

raw solstice
#

yes, even short of savage

#

you can super feel the difference even just in casual stuff

#

not that you can't get by on high ping like that or anything

#

but saying that it's almost the same is just straight up incorrect

#

it's very different

#

in feel and response

fresh lodge
#

You can feel the difference between 50 and 200

#

Hell, you can feel the difference between 150 and 250

open coral
#

I'm not saying the numbers are the same. I'm saying that my personal experience is that the feel of the game response is only barely noticeable, and does not significantly impact gameplay.

#

It may be different for other people.

raw solstice
#

it is, and does, impact gameplay

fresh lodge
#

Also thats not what you said

#

You said the lag difference is minimal

open coral
#

Yes

#

Lag being the actual game responsiveness.

#

Not the ping

raw solstice
#

game responsiveness is directly in line with ping

fresh lodge
#

Saying the difference between 50 and 200 is minimal is misleading

raw solstice
#

if you try to move out of an AoE at 50ms and 200ms, it is a very different sort of movement/reaction you have to do

split agate
#

If you think it's "basically the same" go do e4s

latent sluice
#

This isn't truly important, but don't want to ask it in discussion... Is there any use for the gc "elite" gear you can get from the billmaster? Do they have an achievement or any other thing tied to them?

raw solstice
#

well they were talking with regards to non-savage stuff, but regardless no need to continue that discussion really haha

junior yacht
#

not really
it can make decent leveling gear, but that's it

#

if you're short on tomes, mostly

split agate
#

True, sorry I forgot cause I came back to the discussion :x

sleek peak
#

In which areas can you fly? They gave me flying chocobo but you cant fly in coerthas western highlands right?

raw solstice
#

you can

#

but you have to get all the aether currents for the zone

junior yacht
#

Use the aether compass they gave you. You'll wind up passing near most of them as you move through the MSQ.

sleek peak
#

Aether compass?

latent sluice
#

@junior yacht Can I get them and then immediately turn them into seals? I don't really have much use for my marks anymore, besides ventures and tickets

valid grotto
#

Will the new eden raids be released with both normal and savage at the same time, or the same way like the first part? Heard on someone's video and wanted clarification.

raw solstice
#

yeah, the compass, and any bluequest

slate arrow
#

Both are released at the same time during patches

raw solstice
#

those combined should give you aether currents for each zone

slate arrow
#

It's only on launch when savage is delayed

junior yacht
#

i think so? but i'm not sure, it's been a while

raw solstice
#

and the final MSQ in a given zone will give you the last aether current you need to fly in that zone

valid grotto
#

Ah so do most people just jump into savage or practice in normal?

sleek peak
#

Im too confused RedConfused

raw solstice
#

you have to do normal to unlock savage

valid grotto
#

But once unlocked, what do people do?

junior yacht
#

do the zone's MSQ
pop the compass while questing, if there's one nearby go grab it

raw solstice
#

@sleek peak use the aether current as you progress through the MSQ in a zone, picking up aether currents along the way. Do any bluequest you find in each zone for an aether current as well

junior yacht
#

it's fairly dstraightforward

slate arrow
#

throw up party finders, get with their static to start grinding savage for loot

raw solstice
#

when you're done with a zone (generally with a capstone dungeon), and you move onto the next one, you should have all the aether currents for that zone

sleek peak
#

Where can i see the aether compass / and currents i posess?

raw solstice
#

aether compass is in key items

slate arrow
#

compass should be in your key items

raw solstice
#

you can assign it to hotbar for ease of use

slate arrow
#

Currents are under travel

sleek peak
#

The compass detects a current

#

Should i go there?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

just keep using it every so often to make sure you're going in the right direction

raw solstice
#

for the most part, you shouldn't have to go too off the beaten path as you do MSQ/the bluequest

slate arrow
#

also, remember to look up and down since the compass doesn't account for vertical

raw solstice
#

only a few notable exceptions to that rule that you have to go really out of your way for the currents

sleek peak
#

Oh cool

#

I found that green orb

raw solstice
#

yep, there you go, just interact with it and you've got it

sleek peak
#

So i need all of them to fly?

slate arrow
#

per zone yes

sleek peak
raw solstice
#

@valid grotto you can do normal each week for some free drops (weekly lockout) then work on progging savage. The normal mode gear is the same ilvl as crafted gear though, so people that opt for crafted gear mostly skip over normal mode gear

sleek peak
#

So i need to search the green ones and do quests for red ones

raw solstice
#

yep, precisely

#

the final quest one from that zone will be from the level 71 dungeon

sleek peak
#

Real question, is it worth doing in coerthas west?

junior yacht
#

yes

raw solstice
#

it's always worth unlocking flying

slate arrow
#

it's always worth unlocking flying

junior yacht
#

you'll be back later

#

and as i mentioned earlier, the MSQ takes you near to most of them as you go

valid grotto
#

@raw solstice does savage also have weekly lockout in drops?

sleek peak
#

And are the blue quests any specific quests or just the ones i see on map

junior yacht
#

just pop your compass periodically and you'll get most of them without mich side travel

#

any blue quest

slate arrow
#

@valid grotto yes but it's drop rules are different

raw solstice
#

yeah savage has weekly lockout, but on a basis of, one clear per week

#

normal you can spam until you get a drop per fight, savage you get one clear of each fight per week and the chance to roll on any loot that drops on that clear, and then that's that for the week until reset

pallid gust
#

Without any spoilers, if someone were to play FFXIV purely for the story payoff in Shadowbringers and nothing else, would you recommend it?

#

Or would you tell them to go watch a youtube video or something?

junior yacht
#

if by "story payoff" you're also including everything leading up to it, then yes

I was wondering ya know how there are scythe skins on Mog Station, if I get it and for example apply it on my weapon and then when leveling get new weapon does skin stay? I am not sure how it works still new x-x

spiral meadow
#

to keep applying a weapon skin you can put that weapon in your glamour dresser, and return to that with a new weapon to reskin it with the scythe

#

or you can use glamour prisms repeatedly and keep the scythe in your inventory

mortal root
#

should i meld my lvl 70 gatherer's gear with perception so getting collectables is easier?

#

cause im struggling to get 450 without using gp or node buffs

Why does my crafting macro give me varying results? Sometimes it finishes with 5 durability remaining, sometimes 10, sometimes 0 and once it deadass failed. Once a blue moon it even gives me the "not enough CP" error. Is it my insane lag or something inherent within the macro?

stray saffron
#

there's RNG in one of the actions in the macro, probably, or you forgot a wait somewhere and a step is getting skipped

gritty oracle
#

There's no RNG in any of it. It's synthesis, touches, great strides and a waste not.

raven sage
#

rng as in not a 100% success rate

#

But yeah if that isn't the issue it could be lag or the condition changes are messing with it

gritty oracle
#

Hmm, I could accept varying quality because hey, that's RNG. But synthesis should be the exact same every time.

raven sage
#

Depends on what's in your macro

#

You'll get different rates of progress based on if you have buffs up

gritty oracle
#

/ac "Inner Quiet" <wait.2>
/ac "Waste Not" <wait.2>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Great Strides" <wait.2>
/ac "Standard Touch" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>
/echo Craft finished <se.2>

#

I have all three requirements (craftsmanship, control, CP) met

tawny canopy
#

lag can affect macros

raven sage
#

The only reason I can think of is that you have more things in there than you actually need

#

And the lag is causing the random outcomes

gritty oracle
#

It can? Huh. Rn my laptop is perpetually 2 seconds away from exploding.

tawny canopy
#

is your ping like really high

gritty oracle
#

Idk should be around 120 to 250, depending on where the data centres are

raven sage
#

It could also be making some things go off twice

tawny canopy
#

^

gritty oracle
#

Valid, thanks!

tawny canopy
#

for you then i would recommend not crafting via macros

gritty oracle
#

Okay

split agate
#

Also if you click a macro before starting the craft it can screw the whole thing up

#

Or in the middle

raw solstice
#

It's unlikely that ping/hardware lag would make you repeat a line (in fact I'm pretty certain it can't) but it could very easily make you skip a line (like skipping waste not)

raw solstice
#

My guess is it sometimes skips the WN causing the failure. And the early completions with excess dura would be potentially skipping one of the touches. You should be able to reliably circumvent both issues by making the wait times longer for safety @gritty oracle

#

It could still technically fail even then and you'd have to resort to manual crafting but the little bit longer wait should help reliability

gritty oracle
#

Ah, okay!

heavy oracle
#

Ive heard that we can expect patch notes tomorrow, is that true?

shrewd crescent
#

Is there a way to know how many allagan totems of poetics you can get from a dungeon or an alliance raid?

#

Not only from the daily

spiral meadow
#

@heavy oracle yeah, by early tomorrow patch notes should be out

obsidian patio
#

It’s listed in the duty finder when you look at the dungeon

shrewd crescent
#

@obsidian patio Yeah I know that, but you also get them inside the dungeon too

raw solstice
#

Yes, the specific duty itself lists the rewards that you get for running the instance

thick bolt
#

I'm confused on how to unlock a new job I'm level 10 and I'm a ranger but I'd really rather be amagic user. Anyway fr me to figure out how to do that/

obsidian patio
#

Complete your level 10 class quest

#

That will unlock the ability to unlock other classes with the various “so you want to be a (insert class here)“ quests

shrewd crescent
#

Oh wait, it’s the bonus from having a new player in the dungeon with you

raw solstice
#

Say you do alliance roulette, it'll show the rewards you get from the roulette. Hey you could get Syrcus Tower from the roulette, you look for Syrcus Tower specifically in the DF list to see the rewards from that instance

obsidian patio
#

First time bonus isn’t listed anywhere but when you enter and complete the duty

thick bolt
#

How do I know where to get the level 10 class quest?

obsidian patio
#

It’s at your class guild, since your archer that’s at the archer’s guild in Gridania

thick bolt
#

ty

obsidian patio
#

Your main scenario quest tracker should show important sidequests below the listed story quest, if you get lost.

thick bolt
#

it isn't there I guess I have to do more story quest

obsidian patio
#

You shouldn’t need to do story quests for the class quests, is there a level 1 or 5 quest instead?

#

Because you need to do those to reach the level 10 quest.

thick bolt
#

I did all the archer guild quest

obsidian patio
#

Then you should be able to grab other classes then

thick bolt
#

hmm, I'll go back and try to figure it out.

obsidian patio
#

Unless you mean upgrading Archer to Bard, which does require completing a level 20 story quest

thick bolt
#

No I meant changing to magic

last kayak
#

I have some new guildies that have just started the game but already purchased their first subscriptions. Is it still possible for them to get the Friendship Circlet?

raw solstice
#

They would have to find someone else to use their referral code

fresh lodge
#

If they have already bought their first subscription, then the only way for them to get it is if they recruit someone else

last kayak
#

Ah, I see.

#

Thanks.

ocean hedge
#

how do you report people for cheating?

#

guy doesn't take any damage and he teleports places

#

two people

#

<@&100464652139368448> any help?

warped seal
#

Report it in the help window under "cheating"

#

include the player name, time, location, and what they were doing

ocean hedge
#

its multiple people and they are gibberish names but i'll try to get all their names

fresh lodge
#

Then they're bots

warped seal
#

if it's a bunch then let the STFU take care of them

#

those get banned in waves

ocean hedge
#

alright

lament kayak
#

Is savage going to be released also on tuesday or just normal?

fresh lodge
#

Yes

raw solstice
#

both will be released at the same time

obsidian patio
#

Only the first raid tier is staggered to give people time to level up and enjoy the story

#

Jumping does nothing in terms of combat like 99% of the time

Just standard moving

heady peak
#

I am having trouble removing this quest off my sidebar, any help?

#

whenever I abandon it, it gets that red X and my only two options are

tardy patio
#

with 5.2, phantasmagoria becomes the uncapped tomestone and goetia becomes replaced right

#

so its possible to farm up for the current i460 gear

open coral
#

@heady peak That's a levequest, which is why abandoning it gives you the red X.

heady peak
#

Does it disappear when i leave the area or?

open coral
#

No, you should be able to abandon it by opening the quest Journal and scrolling down to the bottom of the right hand window.

autumn bluff
#

can someone help me find Auriana in Mor Dhona

heady peak
thick bolt
#

I just did my level 10 quest for the archer guild and I still can't switch classes

#

Anything else I need to do?

ocean pivot
#

You should be able to accept blue quests now that give you the other classes

open coral
#

Honestly an easier option might be to simply complete the objective for the levequest @heady peak Go to the green area, start it up, and clear it. The warning message just means that you won't get as much xp for completing it.

thick bolt
#

Sorry idk what blue quest are I can't find any on the map

open coral
#

@thick bolt Any quest with this marker bluequest

thick bolt
#

oh I see one for carpenter

heady peak
#

they are usually named "So you want to be class?"

lunar nexus
#

Just boosted SMN/SCH. For Aetherpact, when it says that it increases the damage of units within 15y, is that 15y originating from me, or my pet?

ocean pivot
#

Yeah, for classes (or generally things that unlock stuff) they look like that.

open coral
#

In Gridania (your current city) you should be able to find the guilds and starter quests for the following jobs:

DoW/DoM: Conjurer, Lancer, Archer (your current job)
DoH/DoL: Botanist, Carpenter, Leatherworker

obsidian patio
#

@autumn bluff directly north of the Aetheryte in the small stone building

#

Near the tent

#

@lunar nexus from your pet

lunar nexus
#

Alrighty, thanks

thick bolt
#

ty

ocean pivot
#

If you want to unlock a specific class you can also ask where it's located. Or if you just blindly do all blue quests, you will unlock them at some point anyway.

stray saffron
#

every class is in either gridania, ul'dah, limsa, or ishgard for the HW jobs, so you don't have to look very hard

leaden ginkgo
#

More of a glam question but are there any decent looking oversized SCH books? Or potentially one that's dyeable? I just love the huge book aesthetic

ocean pivot
#

Oh, I actually have a similar question and am looking for an oversized wizard hat xD

tawdry otter
obsidian patio
#

Outdated

#

Use teamcraft

thick bolt
#

I'm sorry I have another question, how the heck do I do carpenter I have maple logs but idk what to do

#

I'm trying to look it up but I can't find anything

ocean pivot
#

Press 'N' and it opens up the crafter menu

tawdry otter
#

is it possible to sim automatically in teamcraft?

thick bolt
#

ty, holy cow I wish anything in game would have told me that lmao

obsidian patio
#

technically yes, but it makes god awful rotations half the time

leaden ginkgo
#

for oversized hats the 60 AST hat comes to mind, the True Griffin hats all give me wizard vibes too @ocean pivot

obsidian patio
#

Well, you do start with the crafting log as an action on your bar.

ocean pivot
#

Yeah, I saw Welkins, but I'm searching for BLM hats. 😦

open coral
#

I'm pretty sure there's an "active help" that explains that unless you turned those alerts off.

#

Maybe not the keyboard shortcut for it, but a window should've popped up to give you a rundown when you got the Carpenter job and equipped the saw for the first time.

leaden ginkgo
#

Beeg

ocean pivot
#

Oh, that's dope.

leaden ginkgo
#

Dyeable too, I believe

ocean pivot
#

Niiiice

open coral
#

There are a number of large hats like that for casters

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, it's just a case of finding them

open coral
#

Um, there's also the... I think it's the Viridian Hat of Casting? Straighter, slightly smaller brim, but otherwise similar.

ocean pivot
#

Yeah, and at some point I want the biggest one eorzea has to offer.

#

Like lalai but twice as big is the ideal size.

open coral
#

I don't think such a size actually exists in the game currently

#

The model used for the True Griffin hat that Grein posted is the largest they get, I think.

leaden ginkgo
#

Meanwhile I'm looking for some big SCH books, right now the only decent looking one I've found is the Medica Thavnaria/Erudite Picatrix of Healing (same model)

ocean pivot
#

kk

leaden ginkgo
sturdy mason
#

When I farm for end game maps, what do you do to get around the 1 at a time rule

obsidian patio
#

Yeah they don’t get much larger than that

sturdy mason
#

can you toss it in saddlebags or something?

obsidian patio
#

Yep, retainers too

#

You can also have people mail the maps to you

open coral
#

You can solve one, put one in your chocobo, and one in your inventory to carry 3 at once.

sturdy mason
#

That's so dumb, why do they limit it if it's in the inventory when it's super easy to bypass it by putting in saddlebags?

obsidian patio
#

Because the saddlebag is considered a separate inventory

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm guessing it's more of an oversight than anything

oak ice
#

Spaghetti code, most likely

open coral
#

The saddlebag is a relatively recent addition to the game.

leaden ginkgo
#

^

obsidian patio
#

Yeah, added in like 4.2 or so

open coral
#

So it's probably coded in as its own "retainer inventory"

#

Mhm, it was sometime in SB because I remember a time before the saddlebag.

leaden ginkgo
#

Can confirm it was 4.2

#

I remember seeing it in patch notes not long after I started in 4.1

#

If an item is bound to me, will I get less seals if I turn it in?

open coral
#

Nope, same number

leaden ginkgo
#

Awesome

open coral
#

Soulbinding just means that it can no longer be sold on the MB

leaden ginkgo
#

Can't sell aetherial items anyway...

#

Well yeah you can't sell most dungeon drops

open coral
#

True

leaden ginkgo
#

Only exceptions I can think of are the gear from halatali and dzemael

#

I should always prioritise converting, right?

oak ice
#

Some green ARR gear can be sold

ocean hedge
#

really hate when a game requires a dungeon. cant continue the story cause no one is doing old shit.

leaden ginkgo
#

What

oak ice
#

Nah, converting low level gear is pointless unless you really need the materia for the relic

leaden ginkgo
#

Relic?

oak ice
#

Everyone does old dungeons thanks to the roulette

leaden ginkgo
#

Everyone is always doing old shit because of roulettes + new players always coming in

#

I think their biggest problem might be DPS queues instead 🤣

oak ice
#

The relic is a super mega grindy weapon that at this point is just used as glamour

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh okay

warped nest
#

Roulette match made old players with new players who needed their dungeon cleared, old players received a daily bonus from doing roulette

open coral
#

Even dps queues aren't that bad if you're queued for the first time.

#

10 minutes tops.

#

Less during prime playtimes, usually.

warped nest
#

DPS queue is a inherent issue for any games with tank/healer(or support) / dps roles

leaden ginkgo
#

DPS queues for trials can be pretty long. Took me about 30 minutes for the first one

warped nest
#

New players usually go Dps because those are flashier and/or have less group responsibilities

open coral
#

8 and 24-man content can be a little longer, simply because more people have to be found. Dungeon queues are usually pretty quick though.

warped nest
#

That's the standard

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd say apparent less group responsibilities 🤣

#

Feels like they're all balanced enough.

open coral
#

dps really doesn't have a lot of responsibilities other than "attack things until they're dead".

#

Tanks and healers have to consider pull sizes and party welfare

silent pike
#

Just level as a tank like me ezpz

#

On a serious note generally speaking DPS tends to have more mechanics to do

#

That’s more of a generalization though it varies from boss to boss

jade quartz
#

Dps have the responsibility to hit the thing good. Not doing so can potentially make a run slower to the point where it’s just as bad as if you’d wiped a few times on pulls.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah but do most dps mains care about that

jade quartz
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

/doubt

open coral
#

Depends on the player

#

I think most casual dps mains don't care about much more than simply attacking and doing mechanics at the bare minimum level of skill.

jade quartz
#

Most players would rather not have a 45 minute dungeon run instead of a 20 minute one.

silent pike
#

The best place to see what happens when DPSes dont do their jobs are in alliance raids when most of the alliance is dead save for a handful and you just see the boss’ health bar barely move

open coral
#

AR bosses also have a hell of a lot more health and outgoing damage.

leaden ginkgo
#

LMFAO true

silent pike
#

PTSD from when I did lighthouse last week

open coral
#

And the amount of people means more ways for mechanics to be f-ed up.

#

Lighthouse is always a struggle.

leaden ginkgo
#

A lot of people still struggle with the final bosses of most HW dungeons too

open coral
#

I'm trying to think of HW dungeon final bosses that actually have difficult mechanics.

leaden ginkgo
#

It's mostly the vault, gubal and sohm al I tend to see people having the most issues

silent pike
#

Gubal Normal, Vault, Arborterum normal, Sohm Al

#

I would also add Sohr Khai

leaden ginkgo
#

God i don't even remember the final boss of sohr khai

#

Isn't that ||Hraesvelgr||?

can you new game + job quests?

As of now, no

inner saddle
#

I read somewhere that getting all crafting skills to minimum 15 before grinding for lvl 90 of each crafting skills is a thing to do

#

Does it actually do something to get every crafts to 15?

obsidian patio
#

Old advice when the cross-class system was a thing, as level 15 had the first cross-class skill for each crafter

inner saddle
#

So it's not a thing anymore?

obsidian patio
#

Yep

inner saddle
#

Yep it's a thing, or yep it's not a thing o.o

#

^

obsidian patio
#

Not a thing anymore

inner saddle
#

Ayt gotchu, so I just wasted my time getting them to 15

slate arrow
#

nah you should still Omni craft because materials are still the same

#

So you'll be spending a lot of gil on other craft pre crafts otherwise

inner saddle
#

Another question then, my 3 DoL classes are 70, which doH should I upgrade first?

jade quartz
#

Miner and botanist.

inner saddle
#

Yeah miner and botanist are already 70

jade quartz
#

Oh misread

obsidian patio
#

I’d say weaver, leather worker, or blacksmith to help gear up the other crafters

#

Maybe goldsmith too

jade quartz
#

And occasionally carpenter.

#

I would recommend leveling them all at roughly the same rate

inner saddle
#

It's a pain though, it costs shitton of money to upgrade them

jade quartz
#

It shouldn’t, as you have the gatherers

#

And leveling them simultaneously alleviates that also

inner saddle
#

Oh you recommend going back to gather lower level stuff?

jade quartz
#

As you’ll always be able to make the intermediate levels yourself

#

Well, that’s the point of gatherers, is it not?

obsidian patio
#

The higher level abilities make it very easy to get low level stuff

#

!action unearth iii

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Unearth III** : lvl 63 MIN (300 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Increases the chance of obtaining HQ items while gathering by 30% - 100%. Increase is determined by your perception rating. Does not increase chances for items which start at 0%.

Cannot be used with Unearth.

jade quartz
#

You’ll be able to gather in bulk a lot

obsidian patio
#

This makes low enough level items have 100% HQ when you gather them

sturdy mason
#

Can someone explain what ocean fishing is actually going to be? Someone described it as an "instance for gatherers" but that doesn't quite explain it

slate arrow
#

it's exactly that

#

Instanced fishing

sturdy mason
#

why would I do that as opposed to open world fishing?

slate arrow
#

you get points which rewards you stuff

jade quartz
#

It will have unique fish etc and rewards

slate arrow
#

and you get a lump EXP bonus at the end of it

#

You don't have to keep moving to New zones according to your current level

sturdy mason
#

so it's basically fishing for restoration?

jade quartz
#

It’s not related to restoration

sturdy mason
#

I'm just trying to understand the semantics by comparison

slate arrow
#

It's basically fishing FATES

#

except the rewards are the same regardless of level so you don't have to keep changing zones

sturdy mason
#

so would it be an ideal way to level a fisher from 65-80, like in my case?

slate arrow
#

Power level? No. Casual leveling? Yes.

sturdy mason
#

well I guess we don't really know what the EXP will be

slate arrow
#

It'll probably be about the same rates as collectible turn ins

#

probably more

sturdy mason
#

collectible turn ins for gatherers was insanely good. I leveled so fast

stable herald
#

Tbh, getting 65 to 70 is do-able with just the story quests

#

But i did it the FSH quests from 55 to 70 at level 70

#

55 to 60 was painful but gave decent exp

You can’t use a refer a friend code if you have paid for subscription

leaden ginkgo
#

srry for pics ill delete after

#

I haven't paid for sub ye t

So it's asking for a code before i do it

obsidian patio
#

You can get old weapons through retainer ventures

#

But if it’s a NQ weapon don’t buy it

#

They’re terrible in stats

leaden ginkgo
#

whats nq

slate arrow
#

not shiny

obsidian patio
#

Normal quality, when the tooltip icon isn’t glowing

slate arrow
#

It's usually a 5-10% decrease in stats

OH o-o didnt knows

oooooooooooooooooo

#

ty :))))

you dont have to delete them afterwards if they arent too spammy and actually make sense to be posted here

aw ty ^^ ok next time

valid grotto
#

What do you guys recommend for farming poetics? Trying to get my Anima weapon trade in items.

twilit arch
#

do msq/50-70/trials roulette, then either farm ARF or one of the lvl 60/70 dungeons that give 100 poetics

#

can also hunt thru party finder for first timer bonus

valid grotto
#

Okay thanks!

sturdy mason
#

What's the normal way to go about aetherial reduction? Just craft some collectables and instead of turning them in, make them into crystals?

obsidian patio
#

Only certain items can be reduced

sturdy mason
#

do you reduce at NPC or via right click option?

obsidian patio
#

They will say “reducible” on the tooltip

#

Right click

sturdy mason
#

is it RNG as to what crystals you get? For example I need Ice Cluster

warped nest
#

not RNG

obsidian patio
#

Element is based on the item

warped nest
#

elements aren't RNG

sturdy mason
#

What do you mean element

obsidian patio
#

Fisher ones are mainly ice and water

warped nest
#

ice - water - fire - earth - wind - lightning

sturdy mason
#

sorry I asked it in a dumb way. How do you associate the collectable with an element

warped nest
#

Google Aetherial reduction

#

people have tables on them

sturdy mason
#

I did. I read the wiki page thats about it

obsidian patio
#

I think miner is fire/lightning, botanist is earth/wind, and fisher is water/ice

warped nest
#

(i dont recommend consolegameswiki for basically anything at all, but that page is solid)

sturdy mason
#

wait I'm confused, ephemeral nodes are for gathering crystals not reducing them?

warped nest
#

you get the crystals/clusters from reducing colletable items mined from ephemeral nodes

obsidian patio
#

You reduce them into crystals

sturdy mason
#

OH, I thought we were talking about crafter collectibles

warped nest
#

miner is fire/lightning, botanist is earth/wind, and fisher is water/ice
generally yes, but afaict, you can get anything with miner/botanist

sturdy mason
#

so if I get a fishing collectable, and reduce it, does it let me pick ice?

#

Ice Cluster

warped nest
#

no

obsidian patio
#

Whoops yeah, was thinking mostly of the HW reducibles, which were the ones I mainly did.

sturdy mason
#

So it is RNG then?

warped nest
#

read the page

#

if you mine Almandine from the Loch

#

depending on the collectible rating

#

it can produce predetermined amount of fire crystal + fire cluster, or fire crystal + dusklight aethersand

sturdy mason
#

Collectability determines whether I get cluster or aethersand?

rich bay
#

Yes.

warped nest
#

it detemines the chance

#

it is not set

sturdy mason
#

so higher collectability gives a greater chance at which one?

#

aethersand right?

warped nest
#

8/8 gives you are very good chance at getting HQ aethersand

ocean hedge
#

bought something from the mog station but its not showing up in the mail thing/

sturdy mason
#

so if I only want clusters, I want a lower collectability?

warped nest
#

if you want cluster, just aim for 4/8 or 5/8 in the aetherial reduction UI

#

you dont' want it too low

#

keep it at around 300

#

300 should be valued as 4/8 in the aetherial reduction UI

Will I know when I'm getting 1-8 once I try this? Because collectability isn't measured 1-8 AFAIK

warped nest
#

aetherial reduction UI will tell you

leaden ginkgo
#

Is it possible to see the expiration date of the Road to 70 buff? I don't understand, I'll keep it until the server is no longer preferred or is it 90 days regardless?

warped nest
#

the buff last until the server is no longer prefferred

twilit arch
#

its 90 days from when you created your character, if the server is still preferred after that you continue to keep it until the server is no longer preferred

warped nest
#

then if you character is not 90 days old, you can still keep it

#

so if someone make a character today, and the server is not preferred tomorrow, their character will have the buff for 90 days

leaden ginkgo
#

That makes sense. How often do they change the preferred status?

twilit arch
#

generally update server status with a server maintenance/patch

warped nest
#

during patch, they might swap it around

#

yeah

#

it is a nifty bonus, but it is not a be all end all

leaden ginkgo
#

I guess I should hurry up then

#

It is really nice. Don't think I would be able to stomach ARR without it.

@sturdy mason

Collectability 1-300 = Purity 1
Collectability 301-350 = Purity 2
Collectability 351-400 = Purity 3
Collectability 401-450 = Purity 4
Collectability 451-500 = Purity 5
Collectability 501-525 = Purity 6
Collectability 526-550 = Purity 7
Collectability 551-1000 = Purity 8

Every purity higher then 5 can give aethersand instead of crystals/clusters.

Collectability 551-1000 = Purity 8
damn this high?
huh

rich bay
#

Yup.

warped nest
#

noted, thank you

rich bay
#

Purity 8 does give the highest Aethersand yields for the DoL specific aethersands.

valid grotto
#

Do you only get poetic rewards if you queue up or go in with a party? Went and did a dungeon solo but didn't get any poetics.

obsidian patio
#

Yes

#

Undersize only gives poetics from first time bonus

valid grotto
#

I see

open coral
#

It also only applies to end-content dungeons, not leveling dungeons.

gray swift
#

whats best dps meter for ff14 atm?

twilit arch
#

pretty much only one, and thats ACT

gray swift
#

thanks! how often does it update it?

faint flare
#

Very often

gray swift
#

i know that GW2 game will crash if GW2 update and meter didnt

twilit arch
#

pretty much after every patch

obsidian patio
#

Generally a week at most after each patch update

gray swift
#

sweet

faint flare
#

Usually takes a few days/a week after patch

#

Depending how much they changed code wise or something

gray swift
#

yeah something like that

warped nest
#

not pertained to the question

#

but i want to say that SE stance's on DPS meter is don't talk about it in in-game chat

#

and definitely don't use it to harass people

gray swift
#

yeah im only use it to improve for myself to become better player

#

after all i might main sunmmoner/scholar

cloud quarry
#

hey guys, I'm a potential returning player with a bunch of questions and was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind answering some

whole wasp
#

Sure. Just ask.

sturdy mason
#

At the scrip exchange, will it prevent me from buying a master book that I already have?

#

clarification: Book that I already have and used

obsidian patio
#

Yes it will stop you

sturdy mason
#

quantity won't show 1 in that case

#

@obsidian patio Just to be sure: It also stops me if I already used said book?

leaden ginkgo
#

Just beat 3.0 on my alt, how quickly could you do post HW?

jade quartz
#

Yes it will stop you

sturdy mason
#

ok thanks

jade quartz
#

If you have used the book and unlocked the recipes it will stop you.

clever ferry
#

Can anyone help me figure out why I can't seem to acces the ishgard rebuilding thing

cloud quarry
#

So I'm an OG ARR player who didn't have too much time beyond leveling my character to 50 (Bard) and doing a bit here and there..obviously the game has come leaps and bounds since then and I've been looking for an MMO to play with good depth to crafting but also modern enough..
Currently settled on Runescape but tbh I like that this is a lot more modern. My questions would be:

  1. Is it a viable strategy to level crafters to 80 and make money off it? How time consuming is this?
  2. Can you sustain yourself via combat gil-wise in order to buy cosmetics like dyes, glamours etc?
  3. How are the catch-up mechanics? I know there's a pay-to-max service on Mogstation to level but as someone with maybe 2 hours a night Mon-Fri to play, will I be severely limited to play the "endgame" content? I'm not looking to be part of a static but to even get the items/relevant glamour?
#

Sorry for the thicc post

clever ferry
#

Yes its viable, it is time consuming from 0-50 after that its fast

#

Yes

#

Very good

sage plaza
#
  1. Yes, with some starting gil you can be 80 in less than a week at 2h a night
clever ferry
#

DOn't bother paying for jack off the station

jade quartz
#
  1. Yes, requires a bit of effort and keeping an eye on the market but absolutely yes. Leveling crafters is easier than ever, can max them all in a few weeks.
  2. Yes
  3. 2 hours a night is a little low but would also be normal for a lot of players. You can totally stay caught up with that.
cloud quarry
#

I was looking at just restarting tbh since i don't remember the story worth a damn

#

I kinda enjoy passive income gains through flipping/crafting etc while doing work or studying from home, so I'm assuming macros for crafting and stuff are still a thing to semi-afk all that?

#

And yeah I'm just trying my best not to get too immersed in the game on a daily basis as trying to prioritize health and education and things like that first -but similarly if such a low time commitment means you can't have fun then there's no point in me playing and may as well go to a more casual game tbh

leaden ginkgo
#

It doesn't get much more casual friendly than ff14

jade quartz
#

Yeah

#

This game caters to an older audience of players who have jobs and other things to do

#

2 hours a night is actually probably plenty tbh

#

I’m just over-immersed stackvuln

What is Eureka? I see someone in Eureka gear that's level 390

twin kelp
#

I thought Eureka was Stormblood stuff? No?

jade quartz
#

Level 70 content where you enter a large instanced zone with players from across the datacentre

oak ice
#

It is

jade quartz
#

Yes

twin kelp
#

I guess you can upgrade it?

jade quartz
#

390 is Stormblood item level

twin kelp
#

oh im backwards

#

so where cna i find how to do it?

jade quartz
#

Max ilvl at 70 is 400/405

oak ice
#

You get the weapon and armor from the job quest at 70 that you upgrade in Anemos

#

Then you keep upgrading the weapon but get new armor as you go

twin kelp
#

I see.

jade quartz
#

Unlocks in Rhalgr’s Reach, is queued for in Kugane.

warped nest
#

the easiest max ilvl would be 399: all augmented Scaeven + 1 scaevan ring

twin kelp
#

I think i've unlocked it. I just never did it cause I thought it was a raid.

jade quartz
#

Queue for it by going to Kugane, Pier #1 aethernet shard

#

And talk to Rodney, Expedition Ferryman.

twin kelp
#

is it hard?

jade quartz
#

No

twin kelp
#

Should i look up a video

jade quartz
#

It’s mob and fate grinding.

twin kelp
#

the armor is random drops or what

warped nest
#

you get crystals from killing stuff

#

then you use crystals to upgrade

jade quartz
#

No, upgraded by a vendor via crystals that drop from the FATEs/chaining lots of mobs

twin kelp
#

which vendor is it?

#

nvm

#

found the vendor

jade quartz
#

Gerolt, inside the instance.

twin kelp
#

Last question, hopefully. Is it wasteful to do it on a Dancer? or is ther still armor i can get?

oak ice
#

Dancers don't have any gear in there

jade quartz
#

They do

#

But not until Pyros

oak ice
#

Ah

twin kelp
#

no idea what that means haha

oak ice
#

Third area of four

cloud quarry
#

so is there still challenging content to do outside of the static-required raids? that I could squeeze in on a 2hr a night time budget?

jade quartz
#

There are a lot of systems in Eureka

oak ice
#

Anemos>Pagos>Pyros>Hydatos

cloud quarry
#

and is it still possible to make gains while semi afk? ie flipping or crafting?

jade quartz
#

You can pug those raids in the party finder.

cloud quarry
#

for similar tiered rewards?

jade quartz
#

The same

#

But your mileage may vary with random people

cloud quarry
#

also I noticed they removed TP and apparently took a lot of skills off GCD -does that make combat more about weaving big damage skills with off GCD filler abilities?

#

that's true

jade quartz
#

They didn’t take a lot of skills off the gcd, combat has always been about that.

oak ice
#

They removed a bunch of abilities in general

cloud quarry
#

oh ok

jade quartz
#

Removal of TP is quality-of-life for melee classes AoE skills

inner saddle
#

What makes more money, botanist or miner?

leaden ginkgo
#

Fisher

warped nest
#

Neither

leaden ginkgo
#

Does anyone know how much the "white whitret" minion usually costs? I'm pretty new to game still and the only one I see listed is for 900m

jade quartz
#

Both

inner saddle
#

How much money/hour as a fisher?

#

Lvl 71

jade quartz
#

No item in this entire game is worth 900m.

leaden ginkgo
#

Right!

warped nest
#

Lvl 71.... Not too much choice tbh

inner saddle
#

Wdym?

jade quartz
#

Extremely rare tradable mounts and things, maybe you’ll get up to like the 20m mark.

warped nest
#

Because most people who buys and sells do it at lvl 80

leaden ginkgo
#

If there aren't any on your server Elaina, you might be able to server hop and hopefully find a deal

#

Oh no, I want to buy one. Just curious about how much they normally cost

#

Q-Q ill give it a go, lol. Thanx!

inner saddle
#

3Millions on my server, Elaina

#

(Sargatanas)

leaden ginkgo
#

Much better lol, th Kuzuuryu!

#

*ty

jade quartz
#

Hmm

#

Still probably overpriced

#

It drops from Hells’ Lid

leaden ginkgo
#

It's a dungeon drop so you could probably unsync it nowadays

warped nest
#

For Fisher, the most consistent way to make money around lvl 71 would be fishing and sell leve fish. Players buy certain fishes to turn in as leve to level up their Fisher

leaden ginkgo
#

I'll try farming it instead then. Thank you guys!

twin kelp
#

how do you progress zones in eureka? just keep leveling?

obsidian patio
#

Leveling up and doing the story from Krile

empty stirrup
#

I'm currently on A Dream Fulfilled of the anima weapon, and I'm confused on where to get Crystal Sand. I have 15 Moonstones in my inventory, but it won't let me trade them in Ulan's Notes

drowsy nova
#

Anyone know of tank chest armor that's kinda robe-like? Ideally white or silver if it can't be dyed. Got The King's Axe and I'm committed to coming up with a pretty princess outfit for my pretty princess murder machine

obsidian patio
#

@empty stirrup you have to go to Ulan herself

#

The notes key item is for helping keep track of what you can trade in

empty stirrup
#

When I talk to Ulan she just gives me dialogue and no trade option

obsidian patio
#

You have to have the weapon equipped if you don’t

empty stirrup
#

Yeah, my b. Was zoomed in so didn't see which Lance I had on. Ty :)

leaden ginkgo
#

@drowsy nova not a robe but I think the halones fending top is great for a more regal glam

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

leaden ginkgo

!iglam halone's mail of fending

That's a good starting place

#

Thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

No problem!

#

hello

#

so i got my whistle... i used it now its gone. already named my chocobo.. how can i summon it?

obsidian patio
#

Character > Mount Guide > drag chocobo to your hotbar

leaden ginkgo
#

you can't summon your mount in towns just fyi

#

ahhh ok ty

gray swift
#

any chance anyone know how to move overlay ACT (theme kagerous) ? i cant even move but its working tho. just need move it lol

#

i cant click anything on it too like change from dps to heal etc

leaden ginkgo
#

disable clickthrough

gray swift
#

ah act setting i guess?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah

gray swift
#

thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

^^

gray swift
#

and 1 question, i wanna open ff14 first then act?

thick bolt
#

I accidently closed a new player tip is their a way I can see it again?

obsidian patio

sturdy mason
#

I can't freaking find Dadden in Eulmore, the NPC that sells stuff to craft collectables for custom deliveries

#

which floor is he on

obsidian patio
#

the top floor with the aetheryte

#

x11.8, y11.4

sturdy mason
#

so many NPCs in there I missed him lol. Found him thanks

cloud quarry
#

if I already have ARR and Heaavensward, what's the best value for money to get the remaining two xpacs?

#

buying them independently?

obsidian patio
#

just buy shadowbringers

faint flare
#

You cant really buy them independentlu

cloud quarry
#

if I buy ShB I get SB too?

obsidian patio
#

yes

cloud quarry
#

oh okay

faint flare
#

Square always bundles all expansions into the latest one

#

So only ever need to buy the latest

cloud quarry
#

oh awesome

sturdy mason
#

I'm confused, i thought each custom delivery NPC had their own set of 6 turn ins each week, for a total of 18

#

but Kai-Shirr has 0

#

I went bottom up

obsidian patio
#

did you unlock Kai-shirr yet? if not that may be why you don't see the materials

visual crest
#

can anyone help me figure out why i have scholar spells on my hotbar when i'm not on scholar

#

like how do I get rid of them

obsidian patio
#

shared hotbars.

sturdy mason
#

I crafted his turn ins on my lvl 74 CRP, switched to my level 63 CUL to get the turn in EXP

obsidian patio
#

you can't turn in Kai-shirr stuff below the level of the collectable

twilit arch
#

min lvl for kai is 70 iirc

obsidian patio
#

same for the other custom delivery NPCs

visual crest
#

is there a way to make it unshared?

obsidian patio
#

Character Config > Hotbar settings > Shared

visual crest
#

omg thank you so much

#

that was driving me crazy

sturdy mason
leaden ginkgo
#

did you already do your deliveries this week

obsidian patio
#

oh that, you already did the maximum of 6.

faint flare
#

You only can do 12 deliveries per week

obsidian patio
#

6 per individual, 12 in total

faint flare
#

Regardless who they are

sturdy mason
#

Oh 12 total that's why

#

FFFFFFFF

leaden ginkgo
#

Lmao

faint flare
#

Always do top down

sturdy mason
#

well I learned something new today

#

Will the item he requests change next week?

#

Wondering if I can save the ones I crafted

faint flare
#

If you completed all his turns in, yes

#

If you're doing his story then they're set

sturdy mason
#

Done with all the quests and stuff I have him unlocked

jovial garnet
#

Hiya im a returning player does anyone have a updated macros guide or video past shadowbringers more especially scholar? keep finding olds one that dont work, thx!

faint flare
#

If you have him maxed out then they'll changr every week

sturdy mason
#

guess I'll trash what I crafted then

obsidian patio
#

@jovial garnet the only macro I'd particularly recommend for Scholar is one to place Sacred Soil for controller users.

surreal falcon
#

sorry for dumb questions, but i'm returning after 3 years of not playing. i'm jus ab to start stormblood questline and i'm currently based on gilgamesh, is this still one of the most active servers populace wise?

obsidian patio
#

and maybe a raise macro that doesn't have swiftcast attached to it.

#

not as much anymore, but still pretty big

surreal falcon
#

it's just fun to see other players while going thru old content

#

i checked https://ffxivcensus.com/ and it seems gilga has the most 'active' players nearly but apparently that's just players that have passed a certain quest

#

is it worth moving to another server?? :0

obsidian patio
#

don't take unofficial censuses as fact. There's no surefire method to track active players.

surreal falcon
#

yeah i figured!!

jovial garnet
#

@obsidian patio ok thank you!

obsidian patio
#

the only reliable method is to track story minion/mounts since you can't set those to private

surreal falcon
#

is it worth moving to a diff server?? i heard sumn about gilgamesh being down or inaccessible for a long while

#

iyo

obsidian patio
#

IMO, no.

#

and Gilgamesh is still a very active server, it's just no longer the place "to be" since there's world visit and datacenter-wide party finder

#

the datacenter-wide party finder being a big breath of fresh air to the smaller servers

surreal falcon
#

world visit and party finder? what's that?

#

sorry again for dumb q's

obsidian patio
#

Gilgamesh also still hits congested status every now and then

surreal falcon
#

wasn't around when that came ab

obsidian patio
#

Party finder was like patch 2.1 👀 , but anyways that's where you can set up listing to go into content as preformed parties.

#

And World Visit lets you visit other worlds on your datacenter with a few restrictions

surreal falcon
#

sorry! just been a long while

obsidian patio
#

!faq worldvisit

surreal falcon
#

ooo world visit sounds interesting

#

thanks!

#

rlly appreciated : )

cloud quarry
#

I'm still on the fence of pulling the trigger to jump back in but another question I had was are there a decent amount of semi-afk activities that i can do while doing something else ie reading/coding/studying that can still allow me to progress?

#

like crafting for gil making or flipping on the market etc?

obsidian patio
#

yeah you can macro your crafting at only a small cost of time compared to doing it manually

gray swift
#

awesome

cloud quarry
#

so I can definitely semi-afk craft

#

seems like an omni crafter is in the works

#

lol

#

honestly I was considering going back to Runescape after being gone for 16 years but this just seems so much more modern

gray swift
#

u dont really can semi afk however u dont mind lower ur GP per hour that kind of stuff in runescape

#

i did enjoy the rs3 last year, played for like 4 months tho

cloud quarry
#

I would go back but I have so much to catch up on though

#

seems like FFXIV is more forgiving

gray swift
#

still need do MSQ a lot to unlock such as dungeons

cloud quarry
#

that's t rue

#

*true

#

and the endgame is mainly just raids/leveling jobs right

#

and like golden saucer/deep dungeon?

gray swift
#

i cant say much cuz im still super new, 30 lvl is my highest

cloud quarry
#

ohh okay

gray swift
#

i play ff14 just to have fun, lot class to play with etc

warped nest
#

Gold saucer is casino, side content

#

Deep dungeon POTD and HoH are side content as well

#

That said Shadowbringers will introduce their deep dungeon soon

#

Endgame is doing EX/Savage/Ultimate

gray swift
#

normal raid difficult is like LFR in wow?

warped nest
#

If you want to be less stressed, do Normal raid or Alliance raid

cloud quarry
#

@warped nest you can do those without a static right?

warped nest
#

I cannot answer that as I am not familiar with wow

cloud quarry
#

with a few hours a day to play?

faint flare
#

You can do everything except ultimate without a static

warped nest
#

EX and Savage can be done with pick up group.

faint flare
#

Results may vary in savage

cloud quarry
#

oh ok dope

faint flare
#

But doable
