Hello, what's the easiest way to get peisteskin map?
level 45/50 nodes
I mean, are there nodes that give only this type without toadskin and others
The nodes I used to do for them are the level 50 ones in the east shroud
nope, just gotta keep trying
I think once you get to... 20? Doing Ishgard restoration is the best.
Not sure what the minimum level for Ishgard is, but once you hit that, it's supposed to be the best way to level DoH
I can only start on 20?
I think so.
Before that, levequests are supposedly the best xp from what I've heard.
I haven't leveled any DoH yet though, so someone who has will need to confirm.
where do i get the tamomo headband and the fox stuff? i know its from a fate but where does it spawn and do i have to farm it?
I'm close then
The Foxy Lady FATE is a rare spawn and does not appear on the map (like Ixion, Ultima, and Odin).
There are certain FATEs which will trigger it, or which indicate that it has been/will be triggered.
I'm burning all my money completing these levequests :O
Is there any catch-up guide out for fresh 80 crafters/gatherers that has been updated recently?
am i missing something if i can see the desynthisis option on a item but its grayed out and i can't click it?
was thinking of getting an apartment ingame. any tips/things I should/avoid?
any plan on one day changing data/server?
then thats the only thing i can contribute as someone who don't have a ingame home
are the golden saucer events held in-game time or real time?
real time
RT
think its once every 15 minutes
check the Gold Saucer attendant in the Entrance Square for details
(or in the 5.2 patchnote)
can also talk to GATE attendants , they tell you what the next event is going to be, how long to it and if you want to be teleported to the place you start it at.
@leaden ginkgo Every 20 minutes starting on the hour real time
is there a foxy lady fate or a ultima fate tracker?
i bought the complete edition through the square enix store, how long does it usually take to get your code? if I had known it would take over an hour I would have bought from amazon

check your junk email?
i have checked there, the emails have been going to my main inbox. I got one for order verification which they sent me an sms then its been awaiting confirmation for about an hour now
@oak spindle, no there is no tracker for world boss fates in general due to their RNG nature. (It doesn't always trigger even when their timer is up.)
I am the one on the light DC that keeps track of those fates somewhat.
ah thats annoying ill just camp out in azys la for a while then
what ilvl are the 5.2 normal raid gears?
480
even the weapon?
there's no weapon from normal mode raids
oh okok
so if i would to buy full set of i480 crafted gear
then i don't need to worry about the raid eh?
if you don't have any alts to gear then sure
but you still want to replace i480 with i490 capped tome gear
that's exchanged from the weekly currency thing right?
ye
okie thanks
Should a fresh 80 crafter go for the Dwarven set first with a certain rotation, or straight up attempt to get mid-tier gear?
Depends on what you plan to do/make I guess
And depends on how ambitious you are at melding
Maybe get the new 480 pieces in HQ, but that is all.
each ticket you buy from the jumbo cactpot does that get you the consolation prize? so say I buy 5 tickets I will get 5000 mgp for just participating (if the consolation prize is 1000 each)
@veltis making new 480 battle set?
Then I would suggest getting melded facet HQ
Mmm that wont be enough
If you dont want to buy/grind for materia, you grind for white scrip set
I need extra white scrip for each tool and secondary, no?
I know
Seems just ... a bit too dense for me to get through this all. And the new changes on crafting isn't making it easier, either.
Mmmh, crafting is hard work
trying to buy something off the mogstation and i get error code i2501, anybody deal with this before?
Just some network error
ok so just try again later?

It's like normal vs savage for battle class
If you just want to make "easy" stuff, you can get away with low stat, but if you want to make latest masterbook stuff... be prepared to grind/work hard for it
Technically you can get away with subpar stat if you have enough HQ mats > make HQ pre-mats , but its even more pain

do i want tenacity as a Ninja?
Nope
anything besides skill speed and crit?
What level are you now?
80
!faq Balance
crit and dh
gearing up for the new eden raids
Look here for stat priority
normal run that is.
Normal you dont need melds
normal you can wear anything
but ninja wants crit and dh. det if both capped
Skillspeed not that good since you are already going so fast
with Huton
You might need to meld a lil skillspeed to hit a threshold, this depends on what you need to hit and what gears you got
speaking of Huton, been meaning to ask this since i got the skill but does it speed up the cooldown on my off globals?
Is the golden pig in idly also a custom delivery person?
I dont see any option to hand in?
nevermind, just read the textbox where it clearly states it only does weaponskills
@aoi yes, though he needs you on higher level
I just unlocked the Cinder Drift Extreme duty, but it's not showing up in my Duty Finder and I can't talk to the Warmachina Fanatic anymore.
It's under the High-End Duties tab
Okay, so what's the issue, then?
It's not there.
||Wow, rude||
As I had mentioned, it's not showing up in my Duty Finder
High-End duties was the first place I checked.
did you click trials?
Yes.
High-end Trials (Shadowbringers)
Got the clear for Cinder Drift, talked to the fanatic, unlocked the duty
and still nothing
Ah. Didnt do Purbol Rain, i ???think??
Thanks @rare sable
Which crafting class currently makes the most money? If any stand out from the rest that is.
I don't think there are any special "rolling in gil" crafters
CUL for consistency if you make food, ALC makes lots of intermediaries. the rest is about the same.
@robust magnet from what I gather, you need all of them to make considerable money
maybe WVR/LTW for glamour gear
But tbh, for CUL, why not just make the most basic food?
I've got all of em at 80 (as of last night )
Why do it special?
That +10% crit I think...
but I only have money to afford 1 class of facet tools
Well, higher level reciepes
oh, they give more bonus stats
Oh. Would have thought the majority use CUL for exp bonus
What does overmelding mean? You just tey to meld extra materia on?
yeah
Is there anything i can do to improve my chances?
77 vit vs 177 vit
Neat
stormblood food vs shadowbringer food
yup. for savage raids, ultimates and maybe for extreme trials
Uh CUL is.... consistent yes, but its also the one that yield the least profit/time
Same with alc's tinctures
I guess those making the new gears are rolling in cash
can i buy a fishing rod somewhere?
If I get my crafter to 80, how difficult would it be to make the neoishgard gear?
Does it really need high end stuff, HQ mats, the works?
not really.
Not hard if you're willing to get facet HQ and meld them
as long as you hit the stats required for the recipe, its actually pretty easy
I can do HQ from all NQ with comfy melds
90% all NQ mats last i heard
Can I make my own Facet HQ?
sure
Scrips?
While neo ishgard is masterbook 8
How much do those cost?
Lots and lots of white scrip if you want to make your own facet
How do i get white scrips? All i get is yellow?
Sublime solution is, to put it rudely, disgusting (since you need so so so much for full facet set)
you get white scrips from doing custom deliveries at max level and turning in some collectables to mowena/rowena
it's free from dungeon desynth tho @rare sable
Max level me, or max level custom delivery target?
max level you
Oh, thats right, the new anyer desynth into facet mats
the old experts too
not just anyder that desynths into sublimes
idk what's in the new dungeon but yeah, past 80 dungeons do
If you're lucky :C
What do you meld at high end?
but you can double up on facet mats from anyder
For crafters
I desynthed like 14 lv80 accessories and got no solution
And do diff jobs which share gear (e.g SMN, RDM, BLM) have diff meld priorities?
Only 2 of them are near 60 lol.
they are many many ways to meld it because all you need is for craftsmanship to hit minimum requirements for the recipe, max CP then dump the rest into control
that'd be why
Yes, blm want sps, while rdm want crit
lower level desynth means you're not going to get that great of stuff from desynthing higher level stuff
Omni set is basically compromises...
what options are those for omni?
Oh. So gotta compromise. Got it
It's @balance
And just to tag along the Q, how do I boost desyth? Just desyth lower level gear?
Just keep desynthing? At what point do I stop?
how long would it take to grind out enough tomestones for the whole crystarium set if i maxed out my weekly tomestones?
for example
The general way to level desynthesis is you just either spam grind dungeons or browse through your crafting log and look at the easy-to-make high level items,
CRP : Larch Ring > White Oak Ring > Lignum Vitae Ring
BSM : High Steel Claw Hammer > Deepgold Pliers > Dwarven Mythril Sledgehammer
ARM : High Steel Bomb Fry Pan > Deepgold Rail Fry Pan > Dwarven Mythril Alembic
GSM : Islewolf Rings > Dwarven Mythril Ring
LTW : Gaganaskin Belts > Smilodonskin Ring > Swallowskin Tool/Surv belt
WVR : Ruby Cotton > Apron > Pixie Cotton Sash > Dwarven Cotton Bandana
ALC : Gyuki Leather Grimoire/Codex > Smilodonskin > Dwarven Mythril Books
CUL : Ref to > https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Seafood
Just do whichever fish are cheap
Ensure you upkeep Bacon Broth + Tinker's Calm during desynth```
Much like prev expacs, i believe it'll take a few weeks? 7? I forget. But iirc the recommendation is to mix eden gear worh crystarium
with the desynth changes there's really no point in going for low level stuff
Oh. I don't know what tinker's calm is.. gotta look that up
!item tinker's calm
OH.
you mean the new eden stuff right?
10 minute pot with a huge buff to desynth leveling
Yes
figured
Oh. Guess im levelling ALC?
Alc is good start
There was a guide a while back on loot priorities but since Eden seems to giv diff drops..
Since it make the most base mats
I'm 70 on all now, but I thought of saving my custom deliveries for getting my DoLs to 80 since the beast tribe has been givin kinda meh exp imo
which gear is the better on the more individuell stats between the deep shadow and nier stuff?
Deep shadow, and augmented deep
6010 tomestone for everything including weapon
70+ beast tribe is the qitari
Yeah. But the Qitari gives, what a level per 3 quests?
don't you need something from the savage variants to get weapons usually?
Hmmm (no idea since I'm maxed at everything)
What did you do to level them?
armor/accessories upgrade item can be got from 24man raids and hunts
Crafters just do GC turn ins till you can do Ishgard turn ins
Fishing cat/flower girl plate is my bff
Also gotta do all the DoH quests for HW
Gatherers Leves and GC turn ins
beast tribes in general aren't the "quickest" way to level
The HW crafter slog is gonna bankrupt me isn't it
since you're limited to 3 dailies per day
but they are -free-
and generally take like 10mins to do so they're still worth doing while leveling
Yeah. Was thinkin of using it just for my FSH cz I cant tolerate FSH leves
Tho I hear Ocean fishin is fast?
As a DoH at 70, with hand king gear, I should be able to HQ all the necessary items for the story quests for HW expac, right?
I've not delved into the horror that is the HW DoH quests yet since I don't think I'll be able to afford most of em
should
Like buying mats etc
Hand king last me till 80
:O
altho that means leveling to 80 without manipulation
Wow trained eye looks like it'll just brute force everythong
yea, it makes custom deliveries a cinch
I could just slam out ishgard deliveries?
When will people not have to spoiler tag e8 anymore? I'm not even close to finishing shb and I'm afraid I'll get spoiled the moment spoiler tags stop being enforced.
HW crafting quests are quite resource-intensive, yes?
next maintenance so tuesday
oof
other than having to get the master recipe book, not really.
where do i get lightweight tomestones?
The plan is to just get a shopping list of all the items I need, crafting/buying everything, then I just blast em out
lightweight tomestone should be from trading 4 eden4 normal swords to the vendor in eulmore
eden relic exchange
okay
Is there a reason my desynth won't go past 51.00?
what are you desynthing
fish from ocean fishing
ahh
Kael, where did you get that info for desynth? Trying to save your message but Im on mobile
from the balance
what is desynth? Is it important to max out?
desynth is a skill that lets crafters break down items
into materials/crystals
its not that important to max out, its basically just another option for old gear you don't need
Oh, thanks!
Cool. Thanks

hi, im quite new to the game, i chosed the conjurer class im lvl 31 atm and saw online that i could go to white mage but the quest to do so doesnt appear at conjurer guild, is something im missing? sorry for the noobness
if you look at the top left corner
under the 
there should be a 
follow that quest to do your class quests and you should get your white mage quest
@oblique haven
Did you have completed the level 20 MSQ
Sylph Management?
You need to compelte that MSQ too besides the level 30 class quest.
Henlo! sorry for interupting a chat, can I ask for some help to clear "The Crown of the Immaculate"? I've been waiting for 30 m, still in queue..
you also have to complete the Main Story Quest titled "Sylph Management"
@carmine panther, make a party finder, it gets filled up fast if you say new player bonus. (Players want Phantasmorgia now to trade for new crafter mats.)
ohhhh thanks i havent got sylph management quest, will keep clearing the main quest then
thanks a lot ❤️
Thanks a lot, will give it a try!
crown doesnt reward phanta
Or just continue waiting
Reset in 7 min
Should be people entering trial daily
And get sucked into filling your queue
Ah, yes. Maybe i was confused with the EX one.
Oh. What crafter mats are on offer now?
On offer as in high selling? The new phantasma mats
(Price varies per server so check your MB)
Also sublime solution
Phantasma is the one for deep shadow yes?
ya
Sublime solution doesn't sell that well atm, afaik.
Its 20k each in zalera
These new mats, can we use em for making the new gear?
Since facet are selling again
ya
Sorry, away from PC atm
neo ishgardian uses the new phanta mats
The grade 3 pots also use the phanta mats.
I can craft the gear myself, but for me it is mostly a mix.
Depends on how serious/often I use them
So I found the build on the Balance for melds, is it fine to not follow it to a T? cuz im already at crafter req and don't feel like blowing up all my melds just to try and place them in another order.
the balance melds are a starting point
currently sitting at 2488 Crafts
W/o facet offhand, and some normal meld spots still open
Its perfectly fine
Balance rotation is just... guide really
You can use them as example and tweak it to fit your stats
ok.
Hi, I was wondering what I should aim for for retainer gear - they're past level 50 and I keep getting the notification that if they had better gear they could get better items. They're gatherer retainers (min/BTN) I can craft myself, I just want to know what I should craft
I mean, I just slap on whatever leftovers I used
If above 50, you can just grab some gear from Moogle tribe
Iirc*
just drop them in whatever gear is around their level
that message pretty much won't go away until you get them into swallowskin (lvl80)
and even then its a -chance- at better items, since it sounds like you're doing quick ventures with them
For battle retainers a higher average item level gives more loot. (Hunting and quick ventures.)
Hey everyone, is the valentines event still up ? I wanted to play the game again to get the costume
Okay. I see.
And yeah I've been doing quick ventures since I don't need them to gather stuff for me currently
Thank you!
no its ended @rich flume
ah ok thnaks
Should I get phantasma gear since the cap was removed?
if you need the ilvl boost/want to gear out alts
My highest is 455 right now
i have two combat retainers that are both warriors, would it be more efficient to change one of their jobs to a different class?
in terms of like getting gear for them, mainly
you mean from like quick ventures?
@hoary storm 455 is fine for eden verse normal, but if you want to do savage/ex then you'd definitely want higher ilvl
well, would it be easier for me to gear them up if i werent having to get duplicates to gear each one
and is it even worth it
wouldnt really be that much easier to gear if they weren't duplicate
since you're going to need two sets of whatever gear you're putting them in
i would but lets say i switched one to whm
i could use leftover edengrace gear from my war and whm to gear them
rather than edengrace and then like my leftover facet gear with them both being warriors
sure that works, but in the end it doesn't really matter
thats what im wondering, i take it the boost isnt that great once they have 80 gear?
there's a "cap" on how much ilvl they need for the "if your retainer had better gear, you have a better chance a good items" or whatever, after that point the ilvl is moot
and its fairly low ish ilvl requirement, so its not like you need to constantly update their gear
you could leave them in edengate gear for now and should be fine
what do cleave means in terms of this game?
Any ability that hits more than one target.
in a zone
Outside of the Ixali.... I can use the ARR beast tribes to get exp for classes in the 40s, yes?
generally, cleaves are attacks that are going to hit an area relatively to the boss itself
so like if the boss does an attack infront of itself that would hit any and all targets that is there, that's a cleave
but if the boss does an attack that hits everyone, regardless of where they are, that's an AoE attack
i tried buying something on the mog station and keep getting error i2501 when trying to select a payment option
are you using a vpn?
hm, can try using a different browser
but the problem with i2501 is that its a very broad error, with vpns being one of the triggers, it can be a bit hard to help diagnose . If turning it off, and using a different browser doesn't work, you can try waiting a day and trying again (this sometimes fixes it).
otherwise, gotta contact support
i tried internet explorer, still get it, i'll try contacting support
perhaps it's an adblocker or scriptblocker thing?
try chrome
@latent sluice ya, beast tribes for combat start at 41 iirc. they're not that amazing for exp though since the dailies don't have scaling xp like the expansions dailies do
So do them at 41 and they might be worth it? Idk. I just want something to do while raising my dps classes I neglected
How do you get the Predurable tomestone?
PotD can help with that if you don't mind mindless grinding
41 is for the first tribe
I dunoe. Dps queuing has been p fast these few days
I'd do them in netween waiting
Between*
they do span between 41-45 with higher dailies being unlocked as you increase rep with them
so they're fine to use til 50, just not the greatest xp compared to expansion beast tribes
is all
tried chrome with all my extensions turned off still doesn't work 😦
@robust magnet you need 7xBlade of Golden Antiquity or do Eden's Verse: Furor (Savage) to get it
Oh rip.
the ephemeral shinryu weapons are crafted, the scale is from shinryu ex
What's the new item from maps then o:
the item required for the Dalmascan draped glamour items

This might be a silly question but what are good ways to scout people out for a free company in-game? I formed mine recently and since the weekend hit I figured I'd do a proper drive
When as a GNB i apply the two DOTs while under effect of no mercy, does the 20% damage buff affect all ticks or just the ones that happen during no mercy’s duration
@outer star The FFXIV Recruiter Discord is usually the place I recommend
so any effect that was present at the start of something with a long duration like a DoT carries over until the end
Debuffs as well
There are also recruitment on this discord #494379215420915712 #603040765723148289 etc
Yeah but that's a dedicated discord so I feel most new players won't even be aware of it
Quick Question, what is the best way to level retainers? Do I need to obtain the venture coins?
Field exploration
yes you need the venture coins
2 ventures per run
Sending them out on the level appropriate missions with ventures
ok, thank-you 🙂
So do I need a gathering book to farm the new hidden 5.2 nodes? Couldn’t find where to buy it rip
But yeah recruitment, shouting might be situational per server, and since I'm in a relatively low pop one it might not be as effective
Oo thank you xD
I'll poke around that one though!
Just don't be the guy that sends tells to randoms without tags, I was in the inn the other night farming lakshmi and a pc named Windows Vista immediately shoots me an invite as soon as I left the instance, it was kinda creepy
You might get a few that way but I guarantee you they'll either not be great or they'll leave at some point
Yeah that's a huge annoyance.
My alts get unsolicited invites all the time.
Just wanna play the game in peace.
Why would I send invites without even bothering chat them up? Noone's gonna accept like that
I want to make friends with these people after all rofl
People just want numbers in their 5 person group of fc members so it looks better and they get stuff cuz usually it's a group of friends that keep to themselves who lead
I know those types of groups, honestly it's exactly why I formed my own rather than gamble joining another one
Then again I was on balmung for five years so
I was on Balmung for like a month and a half and I hated it, since ul'dah was SO crowded I couldn't do anything on my ps4 with Pugilist, but that's off topic so
is there a support phone number i can call about the i2501 error?
Not to mention the perma-congestion made seeing new players impossible, which is why I asked around here XD I was afraid the idea of joining a new FC would scare people too
thanks i'm na, looks like its from 9am pacific so i'll have to wait a little bit b4 i call
Oh gameplay related question this time, has the new low level lure replaced the old ones altogether? Does it work for all the fish?
it works for all the fish but because it works for all the fish
it makes getting specific fish harder so up to you
My fsh is level 4 but I want to level it up and see ocean fishing. Am I good to go right on the boat for rewards and levels or should I spam some of my 100 leves first
Currently doing Anima weapon and on the Singing Clusters step. Can I still accept the daily and weekly quests for Singing Clusters after I finish that step?
I think so, yeah
I see them in idyllshire constantly and I have a pld weapon at the light farm
It's a daily (50/60/70) side quest and weekly (leveling) on each week reset
you can do ocean fishing at lvl 1 so you're good to go @tardy patio
i have a quest "journy to the lavender beds" i'm trying to go there or visit a house but it won't let me
Go to the boat near the quest giver and have them take you there
For the quest, just select the first district and tell it to take you there.
Once the quest is either complete or that stage is done you can go there via aetheryte
You don't need to worry about going to a specific one.
^
Ty Kael
OH i was clicking on the wrong thing, thanks guys
Happens o7
Yeah, that hung me up for a long time when I first tried to do one of the housing district quests... and I didn't have a whole Discord of people to tell me what to do back then. 😄
ok now i have one that is leves of bentbranch but it won't let me see where it is on the map
Go to your journal and start the Levequest
Leves require that you manually activate them but they should show you on the map in a green circle, although it's been almost a year since I did the ones that require a quest to start
Are you in Bentbranch?
That's the important bit.
If so, there should be a green circle on your map somewhere nearby.
i'm in brentbranch but there's no green circle and everytime i click on it in the journal it tells me can't open map
it says speak with tiereny
at the bottom of the quest journal, there should be a section for levequests, do you have one there?
So you need to speak with that NPC
because "leves of bentbranch" has you complete a leve to complete the quest itself
accept the levequest from the levemete, then the levequest will tell you where to go
If it tells you to speak with an NPC, you need to locate that NPC before anything else can happen.
Is there a website that breaks down crafted items into their components and tells you which items to specifically gather to make it? Or something similar?
Final Fantasy XIV ARR Crafting Information and Planning
Thank you! @stray saffron
if you find the item you want to craft, you can click the shopping cart icon and it will give you an itemized list of all the mats :o
it said to talk to him so i did it says to open my duty and start the trial but i don't see it under recommendations key items journal or timers
there's a leve at the bottom of your quest list in the journal
ok it says journal then initiate
yeah that

it does say "Levequests" immediately above it
thanks for putting up with my stupidness lol
how am I able to get another promotion with my grand company? http://puu.sh/Fd1z8/696c48a060.jpg
I completed my full hunting log and all quests around here but there's nothing else?
Command missions I believe
you have to level your squadron
You need to raise up your squadron to get 1st LT and Captain
the next couple rankups come from flagged missions, and then, yeah, you have to do some command missions as well
1st LT simply requires you to complete the lvl 40 flagged mission, Captain requires you to do 5 different dungeons with your squadron plus a lvl 50 flagged mission
how do I unlock squadrons?
can you interact with the door that's at the pin "maelstrom barracks"?
no I can't
hm
is it because I'm not in a free company?
51
what's your GC rank?
and you're 2nd Lt?
Yes 2nd LT
when is it that you can change your class? I picked the wrong one at the beginning
2nd storm LT
oh, have you completed the side quest "Rising to the Challenge"?
level 10
it should be at the adventurer's guild in limsa
no I haven't, I'll go complete it now, thank you ^^
specifically you need to complete your lvl 10 class quest to unlock it @raven mason
class quests are the one with + next to it?
Which gatherer stat increases how much collectability you get per swing?
Perception for the appraisal skills
How do you block people?
right click name in chat -> blacklist user
so i'm starting to dip my toe into crafting. but i want to do it mostly evenly so i don't overfill my inventory/armory chest with multiple levels of junk. i started by getting weaving and leatherworking to 15 by making hq low level crafting gear that i can wear while i get the other jobs to 15. which should i do next? focus on 1-15 tools?
maybe i cant ask here help for my problem, if this is true tell me i will remove my message
guys i have a big problem, i set my shift control alt on mouse for ffxiv but when i switch and try to play ffxiv my keyboard and mouse light off and keybinds dont work
GHUB G502 mouse logitech keyboard (dont remember the name)
When I restart my computer, I always have to open up my Logitech software and change the profile there, otherwise I have dead keybinds.
tried change but not working anyway
Actually. I don't even change the profile. The profile is already active. It's odd, but I have to click my um.. correct "color" profile.
Currently not at my desktop to give you a breakdown, but it's definitely somewhere in there. Make sure the profile is set to persistent, and maybe uncheck game profile. Yknow, the setting that supposedly turns the right profile on when it detects the corresponding game?

whats the fashion report easy 80 this week?
!fr
kaiyoko is taking this fr off
has 100 pts, so just use that as a basis
https://gyazo.com/26496a06d1c87a9b0fbd50a744e4a28f
What do those blips and check marked medals stand for?
checked means you've completed a set of 10 fates
so you have 3 check marks = 30 fates, the 7 diamonds is 7 fates
66 fates total in an area hits rank 3
so as it shows in the corner, 37 fates completed out of a total of 60 needed
So it's just visual representation of the number? Why display it twice though?

1 for cool visual progress and 1 for numerical clarity?
probably the most likely answer, yeah
Can the cat race wear anything? I feel like it's silly they didn't give me any warning that viera can't wear most things.
viera and hrothgar are the only two races that can't use certain helmets
due to how their head mesh, iirc, work
are they planning on fixing it at all?
its something that they've stated they are going to slowly be working on
ok, thank you.
Hi I'm new here, my gladiator is already lv21 but I don't see any quest prompt for the lv15 shield lob. Why is that?
did you do the previous class quests?
yeah I have done the lv10 quest
should I ask here for technical issues with act?
oh ok
hm, when you talk to mylla does she have a quest for you?
cos the only requirement for the 15 quest is to have completed the lvl 10 one
nope she doesn't have any quest icon right now 😦
separate question, have they changed GNB lately? Sometimes I am not getting combo triggers from keen edge into brutal shell
certain you didn't already complete it?
I checked my journal and it isn't in the list
wait, are combo actions random procs now???
hi can anyone help me i can't find the Levesquest Necrologos The Liminal Ones
whats the fastest way to farm phantasma?
have you tried logging in/out? sometimes the game can be a bit fincky @naive dust
Can I play old job stories with new game plus?
@dusk trail no, gnb hasn't changed
@dusk trail Make sure your attacks aren't missing
@true goblet do are few other leves and it should show up after a while
@true goblet if the leve isn't showing up on the npc, try completing one or two and it should show up
alright
the levemetes for arr have more than can be shown
thank you
I hit a striking dummy 5 times and get one combo proc on the fifth shot. Could I be missing it?
oh
I am missing
wtf
how
What level is the dummy
lvl 80 lol
And you?
if you're below level of your enemy, your attacks can miss
That's why
that'd be why
that's weird
try it on a lvl60 dummy
Always practice on lower or equal level dummies
ahhh the quest doesn't start from mylla, took awhile to find it on google. Thanks for the help @twilit arch
Guys, If I bought a boost during Stormblood for MCH, can I replay the HW story of MCH with new game plus?
yes
currently no, but iirc they are going to add jobs quests later
I tried watching on Youtube, but sadly I cant get immersed if my char is not on screen xd
I believe they mentioned potentially adding them around the same time as arr's rework (5.3) since the job quests are a bit more of an undertaking for ng+
just play through on an alt 4Head
And suffering through ARR just for MCH? no thanks xD
Allagan Tomestone of Poetics So I have capped on these, i have not yet got to the Ex where you learn to fly
what should i do with them, ii have better armour than the 120 armour
How deep into SB is the azim steppe / yanxia ? (Asking because I want to buy some gear from there)
I’m currently in the last few quests of HW
basically the middle of 4.0 Dead
So still a decent amount away
Guess I’ll ask someone from my FC to act as a courier
@rancid vector I recommend buying and augmenting Ironworks gear for your class first, then other classes you think you will be playing. A full augmented set can cost some 3-4k poetics, so you won't run out of stuff to spend poetics on anytime soon. I can walk you through the process if you wish.
yeah i was not sure about augmenting gear
I'm playing a white mage so i bought the skyrat armour because the stats seemed better than ironworks
but mostly i am just clueless about armour.
Okay, so first make sure you have the whole (unaugmented) set, complete with weapon. Then buy 7 carbontwine and 4 carboncoat because back in ARR both belt and weapon used carboncoat. Then go to uuuuugh
Gimme a sec
Hyrtsmill. You can Google where it is, I'm on a train WiFi which is exactly as good as one can expect it to be, which is to say none
yeah i can imagine, okay gotcha
It's in the northeast end of one of the shrouds
kk
its in north shroud
So if you zoom in on the map after you're there, you'll see a trader (sack icon with a circle) icon. Go there and you'll meet Drake Whatever, Replica Vendor. Go to him and choose "Ironworks Augment"
You'll have to trade in your Ironworks gear and the carbontwine/coat.
There's also a relic weapon quest there if you're masochistic enough to want it. Most of them you can get through other sources anyways, at least I did with the elfin bow, but I digress.

thanks, okay i'll work on that, yh i did the relic wep quest to the first stage and my freind told me to stop
Can I buy the materials or I have to gather everything?
Seems slower than doing leves...
Can anyone Eli5 this divination system, I'm playing cards and I'm getting nothing
you need to play cards in combat to get seals
oh okay
so either make sure you slap the tank with a regen or shield, or throw out a combust to a mob before you start tossing cards
I avtually never got the iron works weapon
Having toruble figuring out the token system for that
you buy 10x Rowena's Tokens (Poetics) (7 if you're a paladin), and 1 Encrypted Tomestone from the poetics vendor
they should both be under the Poetics (Other) section
then trade those to the npc next to the poetics vendor
okay
ok is there some way to archive some of the armor i have in my armory? its getting cluttered and a lot of this i want to keep for glamor and stuff
you can put them either onto a retainer or into the glamour dresser
where is this glamour dresser?
in the inn room
And squadron barracks (if squadron is unlocked)
Are Hunting Ventures the best for levelling retainers? I tried quick exploration and don't tend to level up...
They both take 1hr
(at the moment)
In getting names moded up
I did 2 explorations and didn't level up. Every time I run a Hunting I get a level.
OK im figuring it out but how come i cant store like half my items?
Are there any maps that show where Hunting logs mobs are?
@static yacht Ah ok. So Hunting is faster but Ventures are more profitable (and profit is the point for retainers).
Thanks
Quick is also
Very rng but
If you spam them on CD it should balance out
(For exp)
The junk I get from ventures... should I vendor it or market board?
Check the history sell on the mb
If it sells fast and is over a certain gill amount do it
If not just vendor it
is cloth softening powder acquired from treasure maps for the new glam?
Yes the zonureskin ones

so i'm starting to dip my toe into crafting. but i want to do it mostly evenly so i don't overfill my inventory/armory chest with multiple levels of junk. i started by getting weaving and leatherworking to 15 by making hq low level crafting gear that i can wear while i get the other jobs to 15. which should i do next? focus on 1-15 tools?
If ya got the gil, you can power level like crazy
To the extent that there is no need to worry about upgrading .
At lesst till abt 50
1-15 just craft 1 of everything from your crafting log using the npc vendor materials
and do your class quests
you don't really have the stats for HQ and its not really too worth it
you just use the first time craft bonus
you can get gear from the class quests anyways and its enough to push you along for a while
does the ocean fishing boat depart at the top of every other hour
like server time 7:00, 9:00, etc
Yes
You have 15 minutes to boars
Board*
So it started at 7:00 you have until 7:15
Got it, altho with only 24 players shared between the whole data center I imagine it leaves at 7:00:15 lol
Thanks
It's not just 24 people. There are multiple instances.
It's just 24 people per boat.
Ah ok good!
No
damn
None of the dialog choices matter
so are there some exceptions for macros you can use for battle? saw a video where someone as a BLM had made a macro that made his teleport skill to automaticly targert a certain party member, just to not have to click them before using the skill.
there are some non-GCD abilties where macros are useful for targeting purposes
for example i use a Shirk macro to automatically target the other tank
but you should never be using macros for your main rotation
yeah, some of the ultility spells you can macro safely for the most part
or things like aoe ground targets, asylum/salted earth
hey guys, is there any website or guide that might have a full list of all the DOH items needed 1-60 for the quests?
id like to just drop it all into garland tools and spam-turn in quests for next few hours
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Class_Quests#Disciples_of_Hand_Quests
there's a table at the bottom of each of the class pages that has an abridged version of all the turn in requirements
all the way to 70 @little walrus
unless you're looking at levekits
So inner beast is gone and it's only felcleave now?
ye
That's too bad, I liked IB's animation
!trait Inner beast mastery
and then you get to 80 and it becomes Feller Cleave
@little swift ur awesome thanks
whats the best 1v1 class in pvp?
Is there really no way to check payment methods on mogstation?
Is there a website or way to tell how something will looked when dyed?
the right click dye option shows a preview
thanks
What's the DoH level to unlock the moogle quests?
I'm having a problem with a quest "The Way The Crystals Crumble". The quest requires me to hit 3 crates with a bomb. The crate on top of a house is bugged and simply won't register the hit no matter how I do it. I tried on two different days, from all the different angles and distances. Relogging and restarting the quest does nothing.
I sent a ticket to support, but in the meantime, does anyone have any suggestions for a workaround to get the quest done?
Many thanks
50 @leaden ginkgo
Where?
looks like you're not the only one and its possible that something with 5.2 broke the quest @scarlet carbon
There is one here but it's locked at 54
The moogle beast tribe requires several side quest before you can unlock it
Someone else was having the same issue with that quest just the other day.
Normal sidequests?
yes
Dang it, which ones?
9 votes and 14 comments so far on Reddit
first comment has all the prerequisite quests
there's a couple of other beast tribes that require side quests, thought not as many as moogle
nope the new shadowbringers gatherer tribe is as well
Its talking about the One time password
If you didn't enable it then just leave it blank
Hey guys just wondering which server would be best for a hardcore to semi-hardcore raiding experience
when/where can i go to start the new eden quests
i heard you have to do some MSQ stuff but my friend says otherwise, any info?
you don't have to do any msq for eden verse
just need to have completed eden gate, and the first quest for verse will be in amh araeng
cool thnks!
there's a little wrap-up quest after E8 that requires the 5.2 MSQ done
yeah, forgot about that ^ but the unlock for the fight themselves don't require msq
but all the instanced content is before that, yeah
@stray pulsar if you live in NA then any server on Aether or Primal will do just fine
I can't queue for mentor roulette if I'm only a trade mentor, correct?
Correct
@obsidian patio Ty Ty 🙏
im looking for an active hunt linkshell
im in need of centurios but i dont know where to find one
what are the best places to find one
Shout in Limsa or Eulmore, or whenever you find a hunt train out in the wild
Eden verse loot is capped for normal and savage right?
Yes

so i'm in the mid 50s and have like a million blue quests to do hard mode dungeons. is it worth trying to get through them all for some reason? if i do a 50/60/70 roulette and get one of them will i get the quest credit or is it only if i queue for them specifically?
You’ll get quest credit if you get them through the roulette
If you want to work on an Anima relic weapon from heavensward you’ll need tons of poetics, which the first-timer bonus from the level 50/60/70 dungeons will help a lot with.
ok cool thanks
@obsidian patio sorry for the @ is there much of a difference between gilgamesh and sargatanas, trying to decide between both of them
Literally none besides housing availability
and if you want to buy off the marketboard that's what world visit is for
Gilgamesh is considered the "hc raiding server"
But with world visit and cwls and cw parties it doesnt matter
Uh, i have the quest to mine adamantite at azys lla, but lay of the land tells me there are no deposits
And I’m lvl 65 as miner so that’s not the issue
its a timed node, that spawns at 12am/pm eorzea time
so probably not the correct time

Can anyone tell me what I'm looking at here? It's suppose to be information for the one time key but it's so damn small I can't read it or figure out where I'm going.
do you use one-time passwords?
No I'm trying to set it up
This is suppose to be "instructions" but their is nothing but this awful low res picture
I've just returned today, i stopped at 5.0, is there an actual "job tier list" ? I heard that NIN was reworked, how is it now ? MCH and BRD seems really weak compared to others jobs
do we needa redownload act for patch 5.2?
Hello guys, do you have any advice as to how to get the sand required to upgrade anima weapon?
The Crystal Sand
I'm not a crafter or gatherer
Spam heavensward leves for Amber-encased vilekins
or use poetics to buy ink and mist
Well, i am doing it right now and so far... no chest appeared
Haha, thx
If you’re willing to spend Gil then the Extreme primal materials is also an option
Ifrit/Titan/Shiva for one, Garuda/Leviathan/Ramuh for the other
hey guys I've been getting this error message trying to update to 5.2. Does anyone know what to do? I've tried multiple suggestions online but none have worked.
@tender estuary ^
hey i tried to buy crysta for my sub and my balance got deducted but it wasnt added
anything i should do
contact SE
Was it just a single dollar or the amount you bought?
amount
when i went through the paypal screen i got an error on their site
like the page after paypal
@royal mango use something like revo uninstaller and completely wipe the contents of XIV and try reinstalling it again
mm i can just use my card to resub for now i guess while they fix this
cause they probably dont look at tickets over the weekend
These moogle quests are so annoying 
Why so many to unlock beast tribe. Could've made a blue unlock as usual
I swear if I have to find another lost moogle I'll lose it
I did that now @tender estuary and now it keeps saying "unable to install server update"
removed every file associated with ff14
try using a VPN
I really hope you dont have that weird bug where using a different windows 10 user fixes it lol
worth a shot though takes no effort to make another local account

Wow. I just made a new local account and it is installing now 😅
How do you get the new professional set? Also, I'm guessing that the Facet set is still better in terms of materia slots and overmelds?
professional is from white scrips, yes facet is is still bis due to overmelds
Hello there!
@royal mango lol figures, you may have to keep using that account to play the game so I'd try to play it on your primary account and if it still doesnt work you'll just have to use the other windows account
So i am right now in situation where i time ago have bought large FC house, and i would like to make it my private house, can i have any details how this stuff works, about the risks and what happens in the process
Still might get it for glamours, it looks better... Though Can you galmour a higher ilevel item onto a lower ilevel item? I know you can't do it with regular levels, but not sure about ilevels...
Is it possible for me to set the house sell price so low that the freed building can be immediately bought for that price?
or does the freed land force a timer + some specific higher price
ilvl is irrelevant to glamour
Gewd
its just equip level that matters
'Cause the new set looks cooler.
@leaden ginkgo you can't turn an FC house into a personal house and vice versa
so you mean that
it can not be freed to be aquired again with desired price?
idk if i am making clear what i mea
You can transfer to it by having a friend transfer out the FC house and then you immediately transfer to the large plot but that involves max price gil
As well as owning a private plot
there is no way to safely sell a relinquished plot
it goes onto a hidden timer and a specific price point once the plot is relinquished
^
the only way to sell a house, realistically, is to sell a free company house
since you can just transfer fc leadership
that's really annoying. but thank you @tender estuary I never would have thought of that
Alternatively, you can let the house expire and you'll get the minimum price of the plot back in gil
oh no
Should I "extract materia" from all the trash items when leveling? I'm currently level 21. I'm not sure what the materia does or if it's worth it.
but no, you can't buy a plot as soon as it's available, only transfer.
The problem is that the asking for the building is many times higher than the game worth for it
hmm fair enough
Thank you for your time
and the price is always max value, with random devaluation timers until a month has passed
Not much reason not to, and sometimes the low level materia can be worth a decent amount on the marketboard due to one of the steps for the zodiac relic
well since you no longer lose items now from getting materia from the gear, you can safely extract if you like. plus people might be working on ARR relic, so the marketboard prices might be decent
Oh, okay. Should I just socket these materia in gear that allows it? Since they're cheap and seem like minor buffs anyway?
You can if you want, it is a 100% retrieval but personally wouldn't bother
Are the level 50 (hard) dungeons essentially the same as the original versions or do I need to look up new strategies before running them for the first time to avoid wiping my team?
they're a different from the original version, with new bosses and enemies for the most part
but that said, they're not that much harder than any other dungeon
so you should be fine going in blind
hey guys whats the fastest way to lvl tank jobs? same as dps? or like is it better to spam dungeons with instant queues?
roulettes and then highest level dungeon
how do you disable the pop up notification about achievements in an area?
better than HoH for tank?
always
Early on in the MSQ, someone said the Eorzean Alliance once had six city-states in it. Five of it is obviously Gridania, Limsa, Uldah, Ishgard and Ala Mhigo. Was the sixth Sharlayan or Gelmorra?
HoH is only if you don't want to wait in queue for an hour
unless your queues are bad, yes dungeons are better
hm fairly certain neither
gelmorra fell before gridania was founded, and sharlayan has largely been a neutral party
how far down does the qitari beast tribe quests scale?
eozrean alliance was founded when ala mhigo invaded gridania
with ishgard, ul'dah and limsa answering gridania's call for help
70 @untold ermine
thanks
My retainer class is fisher and tbh it feels useless compared to my other retainers who's classes are miner and botanist. Does fisher gets any better at levels or should I change my retainer class to something else?
you get free fish :), if you're cat, that's awesome 😉
fisher retainer isn't really that useful, imo. unless you want one of the fisher retainer specific minions, i would probably recommend getting a combat retainer
or another bot/min
fisher retainer was useful (partially) during arr/hw but not anymore. I'd swap to min/btn rather than having a fsh retainer.
So if i want to change the job i need to grind the levels again? Or there are easier versions
You start from level 1 on any non-expansion job
This is a random question, but how many people can a world hold?
I don't know if we have those numbers
Dont think we do
i try to start a normal raid but it say me
two or more service requirements unmet
how cani fix (minux gear 170 im 222)
@oak ice but if i have one job on max level can i do something to make the grind faster then the first atempt?
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
As long as you have one job at higher level than the one you're currently leveling, it doesn't need to be max level, as it says there
!faq altleveling

You have stuff like palace of the dead, hunt log, FATEs and then eventually dungeons for exp
!faq altlvlguide
Palace of the dead is like a randomized dungeon you level up inside of
At the end when you beat the boss for a floor set you get bulk experience for your outside level based on what level you are and the floor set you did
Do anything about retainers care about the stats of the gear I'm equipping? Or could I, say, outfit my SCH retainer with full Dex accessories and gain the exact same results than with the best Mind gear?
What is a good mindset when arranging your HUD? Can't show mine now as i am on my phone but mine looks kinda the same as it was from the start. Got 3 rows of skills on top of each other and my job gauges on the left of that.
@gritty oracle combat retainers only care about item level
But i have seen a lot of variations on how some have theirs so got curious on what is a optimal way to arrange it
I'd say it doesn't matter as long as critical information is displayed and you can still see the battlefield. Any HUD will feel clunky and awkward after you rearrange it, but muscle memory will take care of that.
I use controller but I have my job gauges near the center right of the screen for me
Thanks Wynne!
I have my job gauge somewhere around my character and/or near the buttons that uses the gauge
Easier to glance at it
Managed to get a slightly older image of my HUD.
Some stuff like emotes and menus have changed but skills are all the same

is this some sort of new scam?
Is there a list of all the furnishings that were added in 5.2?
yes @jagged jungle
@jagged jungle yeah thats a scam, they send you to a youtube video and then tell you to go to the url in the comments or down below
its a phishing attempt to get you to put your ffxiv credentials in
alright i reported it
hey guys it's me, Locke
How do i know which bait to use when ocean fishing 👀
I see people calling out bait order and im like how do they know
there's also a link in the comments to a google doc with more information
Kind of random question but I'm curious. In 1.0, were the twins mentioned or shown at all?
Is that giant structure I see in the distance from North Shroud the fallen moon? Or something else? Looks like it was part of the Death Star if the death star was white stone.
What is this? I can't interact with it.
Oh wait
I think that's part of a quest
Didn't realize I was in a quest zone
Umm... So how can I make money?
What's the thing in the distance? Where you see the broken bit of blue?
I have some DoH at around 40-50, with BTN and MIN around 45 too
If ff at pax is being cancelled is the q&a with yoshi P cancelled tpo?

@gritty oracle no, the twins were created for A Realm Reborn.
Giant Tunnel Worm--is there a way to avoid Sludge, or is it a healer test?
Cutter’s Cry?
Yeah
Healers use Esuna to get rid of the debuff
White Mage claims they can't strip it at level 39?
So they just need to heal through it?
Any good ruby ex guides out ?
?
