Sightseeing log gives some minions.
Also is there any way of getting a notification for duty when im alt-tabbed?
Turn on system sounds window is not active
There are also 3rd party apps that can notify you, but that is a grey area ofc.
Guildhest duty is... disappointing in exp gain
yea. guildhest not very good after level 15
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?||
its side content like four lords
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)
Does the friendship circlet work on retainers?
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.
@gritty oracle nope
Thanks a lot!
is there an quest to unlock melding on a DoL
Nope, only crafters can meld.
since 5.2 is coming i wanna save gil
oh wait
not DoL
DoH

this is how little i use my crafters/gatherers
thanks cali, the best mentor
tp to blackbrush station, you'll see the quest
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".
It's not? Huh
yeah, thats why i asked
can you switch classes? if so how.
You need to talk to a goblin that's a little away from the Blackbrush Station aetheryte
MSQ bit is just to explain what materia even is
Ah, sorry
if im reading the 5.2 liveletter translation right
@dusky nebula when you unlock another class or job just change weapon
he's gonna be off to the east
soon i can just use my WVR to meld shit on everything
how do i know if i have unlocked it or not
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
@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.
after you reach level 10 and do the level 10 class quest
Well and go through the quest
wuest?
'wuest' cali 2k20
but yeah what the rest of Vie is accurate except the small addition I made
Haha sorry
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?
There are some jobs, namely expansion jobs, that are acquired differently, but you can access them at level 50 the earliest
No Blitz
should i join the gladiators guild?
If you want to be a gladiator and later paladin, sure
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
so those are not Player guilds right?
Are there any training dummies anywhere?
there are. the easiest to find is probably in summerford farms
right next to the aetheryte
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?

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
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.
@mortal root The yellow scrip Landking gear will do for a while
so i shouldn't bother getting yamashi gear?
yamashi at this point would be a lot of work for a set you'll just be working to replace again at 80
oke ty
in that case, best way to farm yellow scrips?
im really far behind on botanical folklore too TT
custom deliveries > collectables
ty
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?
the turn-in page itself will tell you whats the miniumum collectability required for rewards.
Ah, thanks!
how can i see my playtime?
/playtime, or /ptime for short in-game
type /playtime in your in-game chat
aigt
it's on a character basis, to note, so if for whatever reason you have more than one character they'll have separate /ptime
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?
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
It's the same outfit that the dancer girl from the DNC class quests wears
those are for lvl 50s, lemme find so higher levels.
And Artifact armors are the only class-specific ones right? Others are either Role or Magic/War locked
Correct
https://xivstyle.com/, this one has more sets on the left
I assume at lv60 there are no cool outfits and better are on 80
well, i wouldn't really call starting sets artifact gear even if they are job specific
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
ohright, starting gear isnt really artifact now that i think about it.
not right now. artifact gears are usually upgradable.
I remember that on lv50 you could start farming some purple weapons
"Cool" is relative.
And there were quest-chains for them and you could upgrade them like 5 times
they might become BiS for a very short while after the upgrade patch but raid gear usually trumps it.
You're not talking about Anima weapons, right? You're asking about gear?
yea, just the armor
kk
Personally, I'm a big fan of the Ironworks sets.
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?
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
shire for 60, scaevan for 70, ronkan/deepshadow for 80
Plus raid and alliance raid gear
Basically, there are lots of different endgame sets.
For the assorted endgames
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
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
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
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
basically dont be a degen pervo with lalafells and youll be fine
I think their exact words can be found on the subreddit
The exact words are probably still in the #translations-and-liveletters channel
yeah, they don't want anyone doing any of that but they don't want to be scanning peoples computers either
i mean they can if they wish
they actually really went to great lengths to clarify where they stand on this
key word "they don't WANT to"
but anyway lets not drag the channel ot
I think this still qualifies under the channel, since a question was asked.
for 1-60 yes
game often untargets stuff or me. Anyone know what the cause could be?
Depends on whether you're dps or tank/healer
ehva prob got click to remove target set on
Actually, no
I take that back
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?
ooh
1st leveling roulette of the day is the best.
"enable clicking on field to remove target"
and ye always mix roulettes in with potd
makes it less mundane
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.
How come you use 3rd party programs to do "photoshoots" from the game?
I may also be biased because I don't like PotD
And always end up with like, 3 hour queues for it
I mean they mostly modify the graphics using reshaders
You don't have to use 3rd party programs
they only talked against parsing and lewd mods, I don't remember them speaking about reshaders.
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
No
/cpose
Social > Emotes > Special > Change pose
Cycle through /cpose
thxxx
So if its not about custom outfits how other can you lewd things in this game 
Can i check how many hours i have ingame
/playtime
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
Thanks
i cant limit my fps to 60, it only gives me the option for 75
what can i do to limit it to 60
probably because you have a 75hz screen

I think the only way to cap it at 60 is through an external program like rivatuner
ill try changing my monitor setting then
you are able to change your refresh rate settings on your nvidia settings, if you use nvidia
who is this beside Khloe?
She's an orphan from Zhloe's custom delivery questline
that's T'kebbe
Helloo, just asking. Do we have a gif of the new eating emote?
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?
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...
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.

Collection of clips from the ends of various duty with all but the BGM muted. The track is called A Victory Fanfare Reborn and is FFXIV's version of the classic Victory Fanfare. The track can be found in game and on the latest OST from Square Enix.
This video is part of a l...
you mean this?
dunno if there's a super extended version
Yes thank you!!!
np!
I love that, maybe it’s the feeling of completing an epic dungeon 
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
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
So then what should I spend my Yellow scrips on? Aethersand for selling maybe?

@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
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"
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
its a remix of Ultima
yeah that haha
but it wont be on youtube till patch day
mmhmm
as mekkah and dude wont upload till them
I cri
aka the usual two peeps who upload ost
can't wait, its very good
What ties of master recipies are still relevant?
i need some help with identifying a housing item. specifically the doors in this picture. does anyone have an idea how they were done?

One question, If you unlock the Samurai job, do you get the outfit/Costume? Or do you buy it with real money
The relic set from the trailer is given at level 70
@spiral meadow thanks a lot <3
Hello me and a friend wanted to play but my servers are NA only, can I switch to EU or him to NA?
you can transfer to/play on any data center regardless of region
You have to select the EU region back on the main menu
just will be a bit higher ping if you're connected to a datacenter in a region different than your own
The Datacenter option
Well I more just want to play with friends.
you'll have to play on the same datacenter together
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
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.
that uh, it's a very discernible and tangible difference
It hasn't been, in my experience.
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
I see maybe an additional half second of latency response.
it's pretty drastic
A half second is pretty massive
Not unless you're doing Savage content, really.
Thats a 500 ping difference
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
You can feel the difference between 50 and 200
Hell, you can feel the difference between 150 and 250
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.
it is, and does, impact gameplay
game responsiveness is directly in line with ping
Saying the difference between 50 and 200 is minimal is misleading
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
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?
well they were talking with regards to non-savage stuff, but regardless no need to continue that discussion really haha
not really
it can make decent leveling gear, but that's it
if you're short on tomes, mostly
True, sorry I forgot cause I came back to the discussion :x
In which areas can you fly? They gave me flying chocobo but you cant fly in coerthas western highlands right?
Use the aether compass they gave you. You'll wind up passing near most of them as you move through the MSQ.
@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
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.
yeah, the compass, and any 
Both are released at the same time during patches
those combined should give you aether currents for each zone
It's only on launch when savage is delayed
i think so? but i'm not sure, it's been a while
and the final MSQ in a given zone will give you the last aether current you need to fly in that zone
Ah so do most people just jump into savage or practice in normal?
Im too confused 
you have to do normal to unlock savage
But once unlocked, what do people do?
do the zone's MSQ
pop the compass while questing, if there's one nearby go grab it
@sleek peak use the aether current as you progress through the MSQ in a zone, picking up aether currents along the way. Do any
you find in each zone for an aether current as well
it's fairly dstraightforward
throw up party finders, get with their static to start grinding savage for loot
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
Where can i see the aether compass / and currents i posess?
aether compass is in key items
compass should be in your key items
you can assign it to hotbar for ease of use
Currents are under travel
yes
just keep using it every so often to make sure you're going in the right direction
for the most part, you shouldn't have to go too off the beaten path as you do MSQ/the 
also, remember to look up and down since the compass doesn't account for vertical
only a few notable exceptions to that rule that you have to go really out of your way for the currents
yep, there you go, just interact with it and you've got it
So i need all of them to fly?
per zone yes
@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
So i need to search the green ones and do quests for red ones
yep, precisely
the final quest one from that zone will be from the level 71 dungeon
Real question, is it worth doing in coerthas west?
yes
it's always worth unlocking flying
it's always worth unlocking flying
you'll be back later
and as i mentioned earlier, the MSQ takes you near to most of them as you go
@raw solstice does savage also have weekly lockout in drops?
And are the blue quests any specific quests or just the ones i see on map
just pop your compass periodically and you'll get most of them without mich side travel
any blue quest
@valid grotto yes but it's drop rules are different
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
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?
if by "story payoff" you're also including everything leading up to it, then yes
^
Yes, gotta experience everything from the beginning
I assume i could find them all mapped out on wiki or sth right?
Ah so normal is 1 drop per week whereas savage is one clear per week?
yes
? Bongus
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
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
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?
there's RNG in one of the actions in the macro, probably, or you forgot a wait somewhere and a step is getting skipped
There's no RNG in any of it. It's synthesis, touches, great strides and a waste not.
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
Hmm, I could accept varying quality because hey, that's RNG. But synthesis should be the exact same every time.
Depends on what's in your macro
You'll get different rates of progress based on if you have buffs up
/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
lag can affect macros
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
It can? Huh. Rn my laptop is perpetually 2 seconds away from exploding.
is your ping like really high
Idk should be around 120 to 250, depending on where the data centres are
It could also be making some things go off twice
^
Valid, thanks!
for you then i would recommend not crafting via macros
Okay
Also if you click a macro before starting the craft it can screw the whole thing up
Or in the middle
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)

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
Ah, okay!
Ive heard that we can expect patch notes tomorrow, is that true?
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
@heavy oracle yeah, by early tomorrow patch notes should be out
It’s listed in the duty finder when you look at the dungeon
@obsidian patio Yeah I know that, but you also get them inside the dungeon too
Yes, the specific duty itself lists the rewards that you get for running the instance
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/
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
Oh wait, it’s the bonus from having a new player in the dungeon with you
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
First time bonus isn’t listed anywhere but when you enter and complete the duty
How do I know where to get the level 10 class quest?
It’s at your class guild, since your archer that’s at the archer’s guild in Gridania
ty
Your main scenario quest tracker should show important sidequests below the listed story quest, if you get lost.
it isn't there I guess I have to do more story quest
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.
I did all the archer guild quest
Then you should be able to grab other classes then
hmm, I'll go back and try to figure it out.
Unless you mean upgrading Archer to Bard, which does require completing a level 20 story quest
No I meant changing to magic
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?
They would have to find someone else to use their referral code
If they have already bought their first subscription, then the only way for them to get it is if they recruit someone else
how do you report people for cheating?
guy doesn't take any damage and he teleports places
two people
<@&100464652139368448> any help?
Report it in the help window under "cheating"
include the player name, time, location, and what they were doing
its multiple people and they are gibberish names but i'll try to get all their names
Then they're bots
alright
Is savage going to be released also on tuesday or just normal?
Yes
both will be released at the same time
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

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
with 5.2, phantasmagoria becomes the uncapped tomestone and goetia becomes replaced right
so its possible to farm up for the current i460 gear
@heady peak That's a levequest, which is why abandoning it gives you the red X.
Does it disappear when i leave the area or?
No, you should be able to abandon it by opening the quest Journal and scrolling down to the bottom of the right hand window.
can someone help me find Auriana in Mor Dhona
yes, I abandon it and then it gets stuck there with the red X
I just did my level 10 quest for the archer guild and I still can't switch classes
Anything else I need to do?
You should be able to accept blue quests now that give you the other classes
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.
Sorry idk what blue quest are I can't find any on the map
@thick bolt Any quest with this marker 
oh I see one for carpenter
they are usually named "So you want to be class?"
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?
Yeah, for classes (or generally things that unlock stuff) they look like that.
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
@autumn bluff directly north of the Aetheryte in the small stone building
Near the tent
@lunar nexus from your pet
Alrighty, thanks
ty
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.
every class is in either gridania, ul'dah, limsa, or ishgard for the HW jobs, so you don't have to look very hard
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
Oh, I actually have a similar question and am looking for an oversized wizard hat xD
what do you think about this site? ffxiv-beta.lokyst.net
actual useable for the latest patch?
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
Press 'N' and it opens up the crafter menu
is it possible to sim automatically in teamcraft?
ty, holy cow I wish anything in game would have told me that lmao
technically yes, but it makes god awful rotations half the time
for oversized hats the 60 AST hat comes to mind, the True Griffin hats all give me wizard vibes too @ocean pivot
Well, you do start with the crafting log as an action on your bar.
Yeah, I saw Welkins, but I'm searching for BLM hats. 😦
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.
Oh, that's dope.
Dyeable too, I believe
Niiiice
There are a number of large hats like that for casters
Yeah, it's just a case of finding them
Um, there's also the... I think it's the Viridian Hat of Casting? Straighter, slightly smaller brim, but otherwise similar.
Yeah, and at some point I want the biggest one eorzea has to offer.
Like lalai but twice as big is the ideal size.
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.
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)
kk
When I farm for end game maps, what do you do to get around the 1 at a time rule
Yeah they don’t get much larger than that
can you toss it in saddlebags or something?
You can solve one, put one in your chocobo, and one in your inventory to carry 3 at once.
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?
Because the saddlebag is considered a separate inventory
I'm guessing it's more of an oversight than anything
Spaghetti code, most likely
The saddlebag is a relatively recent addition to the game.
^
Yeah, added in like 4.2 or so
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.
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?
Nope, same number
Awesome
Soulbinding just means that it can no longer be sold on the MB
True
Only exceptions I can think of are the gear from halatali and dzemael
I should always prioritise converting, right?
Some green ARR gear can be sold
really hate when a game requires a dungeon. cant continue the story cause no one is doing old shit.
What
Nah, converting low level gear is pointless unless you really need the materia for the relic
Relic?
Everyone does old dungeons thanks to the roulette
Everyone is always doing old shit because of roulettes + new players always coming in
I think their biggest problem might be DPS queues instead 🤣
The relic is a super mega grindy weapon that at this point is just used as glamour
Oh okay
Roulette match made old players with new players who needed their dungeon cleared, old players received a daily bonus from doing roulette
Even dps queues aren't that bad if you're queued for the first time.
10 minutes tops.
Less during prime playtimes, usually.
DPS queue is a inherent issue for any games with tank/healer(or support) / dps roles
DPS queues for trials can be pretty long. Took me about 30 minutes for the first one
New players usually go Dps because those are flashier and/or have less group responsibilities
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.
That's the standard
I'd say apparent less group responsibilities 🤣
Feels like they're all balanced enough.
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
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
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.
Yeah but do most dps mains care about that
Yes
/doubt
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.
Most players would rather not have a 45 minute dungeon run instead of a 20 minute one.
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
AR bosses also have a hell of a lot more health and outgoing damage.
LMFAO true
PTSD from when I did lighthouse last week
And the amount of people means more ways for mechanics to be f-ed up.
Lighthouse is always a struggle.
A lot of people still struggle with the final bosses of most HW dungeons too
I'm trying to think of HW dungeon final bosses that actually have difficult mechanics.
It's mostly the vault, gubal and sohm al I tend to see people having the most issues
God i don't even remember the final boss of sohr khai
Isn't that ||Hraesvelgr||?
OH right
Guys, this is getting off topic, take it to #general-discussion
The daily rewards from the roulettes reset after 24 hours or on a set time?
!daily
Alright, cheers!
can you new game + job quests?
As of now, no
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?
Old advice when the cross-class system was a thing, as level 15 had the first cross-class skill for each crafter
So it's not a thing anymore?
Yep
Not a thing anymore
Ayt gotchu, so I just wasted my time getting them to 15
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
Another question then, my 3 DoL classes are 70, which doH should I upgrade first?
Miner and botanist.
Yeah miner and botanist are already 70
Oh misread
I’d say weaver, leather worker, or blacksmith to help gear up the other crafters
Maybe goldsmith too
And occasionally carpenter.
I would recommend leveling them all at roughly the same rate
It's a pain though, it costs shitton of money to upgrade them
It shouldn’t, as you have the gatherers
And leveling them simultaneously alleviates that also
Oh you recommend going back to gather lower level stuff?
As you’ll always be able to make the intermediate levels yourself
Well, that’s the point of gatherers, is it not?
The higher level abilities make it very easy to get low level stuff
!action unearth iii
You’ll be able to gather in bulk a lot
This makes low enough level items have 100% HQ when you gather them
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
why would I do that as opposed to open world fishing?
you get points which rewards you stuff
It will have unique fish etc and rewards
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
so it's basically fishing for restoration?
It’s not related to restoration
I'm just trying to understand the semantics by comparison
It's basically fishing FATES
except the rewards are the same regardless of level so you don't have to keep changing zones
so would it be an ideal way to level a fisher from 65-80, like in my case?
Power level? No. Casual leveling? Yes.
well I guess we don't really know what the EXP will be
collectible turn ins for gatherers was insanely good. I leveled so fast
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
have a mini question: why is this weapon on marketboard so cheap? my weapon is from msq : (pics) also worth buying? its pretty cheap unless i get soon ? am entering research facility if i find a party this late not sure lol prob not tbh
You can’t use a refer a friend code if you have paid for subscription
srry for pics ill delete after
You can get old weapons through retainer ventures
But if it’s a NQ weapon don’t buy it
They’re terrible in stats
whats nq
not shiny
It's usually a 5-10% decrease in stats
The item level merely represents the maximum potential of an item if you use materia
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
What do you guys recommend for farming poetics? Trying to get my Anima weapon trade in items.
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
Okay thanks!
What's the normal way to go about aetherial reduction? Just craft some collectables and instead of turning them in, make them into crystals?
Only certain items can be reduced
do you reduce at NPC or via right click option?
is it RNG as to what crystals you get? For example I need Ice Cluster
not RNG
Element is based on the item
elements aren't RNG
What do you mean element
Fisher ones are mainly ice and water
ice - water - fire - earth - wind - lightning
sorry I asked it in a dumb way. How do you associate the collectable with an element
I did. I read the wiki page thats about it
I think miner is fire/lightning, botanist is earth/wind, and fisher is water/ice
(i dont recommend consolegameswiki for basically anything at all, but that page is solid)
wait I'm confused, ephemeral nodes are for gathering crystals not reducing them?
you get the crystals/clusters from reducing colletable items mined from ephemeral nodes
You reduce them into crystals
OH, I thought we were talking about crafter collectibles
miner is fire/lightning, botanist is earth/wind, and fisher is water/ice
generally yes, but afaict, you can get anything with miner/botanist
so if I get a fishing collectable, and reduce it, does it let me pick ice?
Ice Cluster
no
Whoops yeah, was thinking mostly of the HW reducibles, which were the ones I mainly did.
So it is RNG then?
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
Collectability determines whether I get cluster or aethersand?
Yes.
8/8 gives you are very good chance at getting HQ aethersand
bought something from the mog station but its not showing up in the mail thing/
so if I only want clusters, I want a lower collectability?
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
aetherial reduction UI will tell you
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?
the buff last until the server is no longer prefferred
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
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
That makes sense. How often do they change the preferred status?
generally update server status with a server maintenance/patch
during patch, they might swap it around
yeah
it is a nifty bonus, but it is not a be all end all
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
Yup.
noted, thank you
Purity 8 does give the highest Aethersand yields for the DoL specific aethersands.
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.
I see
It also only applies to end-content dungeons, not leveling dungeons.
whats best dps meter for ff14 atm?
pretty much only one, and thats ACT
thanks! how often does it update it?
Very often
i know that GW2 game will crash if GW2 update and meter didnt
pretty much after every patch
Generally a week at most after each patch update
sweet
Usually takes a few days/a week after patch
Depending how much they changed code wise or something
yeah something like that
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
yeah im only use it to improve for myself to become better player
after all i might main sunmmoner/scholar
hey guys, I'm a potential returning player with a bunch of questions and was wondering if anyone wouldn't mind answering some
Sure. Just ask.
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
Yes it will stop you
quantity won't show 1 in that case
@obsidian patio Just to be sure: It also stops me if I already used said book?
Just beat 3.0 on my alt, how quickly could you do post HW?
Yes it will stop you
ok thanks
If you have used the book and unlocked the recipes it will stop you.
Can anyone help me figure out why I can't seem to acces the ishgard rebuilding thing
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:
- Is it a viable strategy to level crafters to 80 and make money off it? How time consuming is this?
- Can you sustain yourself via combat gil-wise in order to buy cosmetics like dyes, glamours etc?
- 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
- Yes, with some starting gil you can be 80 in less than a week at 2h a night
DOn't bother paying for jack off the station
- 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.
- Yes
- 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.
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
It doesn't get much more casual friendly than ff14
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 
What is Eureka? I see someone in Eureka gear that's level 390

I thought Eureka was Stormblood stuff? No?
Level 70 content where you enter a large instanced zone with players from across the datacentre
It is
Yes
I guess you can upgrade it?
390 is Stormblood item level
Max ilvl at 70 is 400/405
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
I see.
Unlocks in Rhalgr’s Reach, is queued for in Kugane.
the easiest max ilvl would be 399: all augmented Scaeven + 1 scaevan ring
I think i've unlocked it. I just never did it cause I thought it was a raid.
Queue for it by going to Kugane, Pier #1 aethernet shard
And talk to Rodney, Expedition Ferryman.
is it hard?
No
Should i look up a video
It’s mob and fate grinding.
the armor is random drops or what
No, upgraded by a vendor via crystals that drop from the FATEs/chaining lots of mobs
Gerolt, inside the instance.
Last question, hopefully. Is it wasteful to do it on a Dancer? or is ther still armor i can get?
Dancers don't have any gear in there
Ah
no idea what that means haha
Third area of four
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?
There are a lot of systems in Eureka
Anemos>Pagos>Pyros>Hydatos
and is it still possible to make gains while semi afk? ie flipping or crafting?
You can pug those raids in the party finder.
for similar tiered rewards?
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
They didn’t take a lot of skills off the gcd, combat has always been about that.
They removed a bunch of abilities in general
oh ok
Removal of TP is quality-of-life for melee classes AoE skills
What makes more money, botanist or miner?
Fisher
Neither
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
Both
No item in this entire game is worth 900m.
Right!
Lvl 71.... Not too much choice tbh
Wdym?
Extremely rare tradable mounts and things, maybe you’ll get up to like the 20m mark.
Because most people who buys and sells do it at lvl 80
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!
It's a dungeon drop so you could probably unsync it nowadays
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
I'll try farming it instead then. Thank you guys!
how do you progress zones in eureka? just keep leveling?
Leveling up and doing the story from Krile
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
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
@empty stirrup you have to go to Ulan herself
The notes key item is for helping keep track of what you can trade in
When I talk to Ulan she just gives me dialogue and no trade option
You have to have the weapon equipped if you don’t
Yeah, my b. Was zoomed in so didn't see which Lance I had on. Ty :)
@drowsy nova not a robe but I think the halones fending top is great for a more regal glam
!iglam halone's mail of fending
No problem!
hello
so i got my whistle... i used it now its gone. already named my chocobo.. how can i summon it?
Character > Mount Guide > drag chocobo to your hotbar
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
disable clickthrough
ah act setting i guess?
thanks!
^^
and 1 question, i wanna open ff14 first then act?
I accidently closed a new player tip is their a way I can see it again?
IIRC it should be in System > Active Help
ty
I can't freaking find Dadden in Eulmore, the NPC that sells stuff to craft collectables for custom deliveries
which floor is he on
so many NPCs in there I missed him lol. Found him thanks
if I already have ARR and Heaavensward, what's the best value for money to get the remaining two xpacs?
buying them independently?
just buy shadowbringers
You cant really buy them independentlu
if I buy ShB I get SB too?
yes
oh okay
Square always bundles all expansions into the latest one
So only ever need to buy the latest
oh awesome
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
did you unlock Kai-shirr yet? if not that may be why you don't see the materials
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
shared hotbars.
I crafted his turn ins on my lvl 74 CRP, switched to my level 63 CUL to get the turn in EXP
you can't turn in Kai-shirr stuff below the level of the collectable
min lvl for kai is 70 iirc
same for the other custom delivery NPCs
is there a way to make it unshared?
Character Config > Hotbar settings > Shared
I switched back to my CRP still says 0
did you already do your deliveries this week
oh that, you already did the maximum of 6.
You only can do 12 deliveries per week
6 per individual, 12 in total
Regardless who they are
Lmao
Always do top down
well I learned something new today
Will the item he requests change next week?
Wondering if I can save the ones I crafted

Done with all the quests and stuff I have him unlocked
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!
If you have him maxed out then they'll changr every week
guess I'll trash what I crafted then
@jovial garnet the only macro I'd particularly recommend for Scholar is one to place Sacred Soil for controller users.
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?
and maybe a raise macro that doesn't have swiftcast attached to it.
not as much anymore, but still pretty big
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
don't take unofficial censuses as fact. There's no surefire method to track active players.
yeah i figured!!
@obsidian patio ok thank you!
the only reliable method is to track story minion/mounts since you can't set those to private
is it worth moving to a diff server?? i heard sumn about gilgamesh being down or inaccessible for a long while
iyo
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
Gilgamesh also still hits congested status every now and then
wasn't around when that came ab
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
sorry! just been a long while
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
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?
yeah you can macro your crafting at only a small cost of time compared to doing it manually
awesome
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
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
I would go back but I have so much to catch up on though
seems like FFXIV is more forgiving
still need do MSQ a lot to unlock such as dungeons
that's t rue
*true
and the endgame is mainly just raids/leveling jobs right
and like golden saucer/deep dungeon?
i cant say much cuz im still super new, 30 lvl is my highest
ohh okay
i play ff14 just to have fun, lot class to play with etc
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
normal raid difficult is like LFR in wow?
If you want to be less stressed, do Normal raid or Alliance raid
@warped nest you can do those without a static right?
I cannot answer that as I am not familiar with wow
with a few hours a day to play?
You can do everything except ultimate without a static
EX and Savage can be done with pick up group.
Results may vary in savage
oh ok dope
But doable
