Including GNB and DNC

sturdy mason
#

whats the WHM one called? Can't find it on gamerescape

#

I searched "Shinryu's Ephemeral"

leaden ginkgo
#

I got a map that says a party is recommended

#

What is it about?

warped nest
#

It is very new, I don't think it has any picture

leaden ginkgo
sturdy mason
#

oh i'll check mb then

warped nest
#

You can solo it if you have a lvl 70+ job

leaden ginkgo
#

...But what is it

#

It unlocks a dungeon?

warped nest
#

Digging treasure sometimes will spawn adds, clearing adds will give you access to a treasure chest, it usually contains some gils, crafting crystal, and crafting materials

#

Then occasionally opening the treasure chest will spawn a portal to a special dungeon

#

I don't think Peisteskin map spawn any portals

umbral moat
#

Are there any housing restrictions on stuff like Blazing Inferno Wall Lamp, where you could only place one of them in your house?

What are Treasure Maps?
Info

Treasure Maps are a party activity where players are required to find the location in the overworld and clear waves of mobs in order to reap the rewards. Maps can be gathered once per 18 hours by a gatherer of the appropriate level and are unique, thus only one map can be held at a time.

Deciphering the map.

In order to actually use the timeworn map you've acquired, you must first complete the quest Treasures and Tribulations which will allow you to convert the timeworn map into a usable map.

What maps do people usually gather?

Timeworn Dragonskin Map (Level 60, Heavensward)
Timeworn Gazelleskin Map (Level 70, Stormblood)
Timeworn Zonureskin Map (Level 80, Shadowbringers)

Map Dungeons

Each of the three treasure maps mentioned have a 50% chance to create a portal which will take the party to a special dungeon full of treasure and riches, but only if you pass the game of chance.

@leaden ginkgo

strange summit
#

What’s the fastest way to farm phantasma?

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh

fresh lodge
#

Hunt trains

strange summit
#

How do I join those?

leaden ginkgo
#

Uhhh for retainers...

#

I have a DoW already

#

The other one should be what?

#

Miner, botanist or fisher?

#

...Or another DoW?

untold ermine
#

Where do I get the blue level 60 Botanist gear?

dusk zenith
#

are there any cool dark knight glamour weapons that you can buy from the MB?

warped nest
#

Whats your budget?

#

Where do I get the blue level 60 Botanist gear?
@untold ermine are you using it for yourself? If so, I'd recommend just level up a lil bit and get lvl 61/2 white gear

dusk zenith
#

errr

#

probably 300k

warped nest
#

!itemglam Inferno Faussar

elder merlin
#

is it possible to speed up cutscene parts with no dialogue

warped nest
#

!itemglam Mighty Thunderclap

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

No, Giga

elder merlin
#

Sad

dusk zenith
#

ohhh

#

the mighty thunderclap looks really cool

warped nest
#

These are the 2 ARR primal glowing weapons

#

They might be within your budget

#

You have to check on your MB board

dusk zenith
#

sure

#

which servers are generally the cheapest for glamour?

warped nest
#

Can't answer

#

No clue

#

Generally the prices are more or less normalized by now

#

The difference was huge before world visit. World visit's inclusion allows players to buy and trade around world and the prices eventually normalized

#

I have 3 more recommendations, these are HW glowing weapons

#

They are probably more expensive

#

But you won't know until you check

Good luck, I hope you found something you like, @dusk zenith

dusk zenith
#

ohh thank you!

#

ill check them out :)

leaden ginkgo
#

The anima weapons kinda slap if you have poetics aplenty

low sun
#

i'm probably just blind but how do i set more specific filters on the market board?

odd bobcat
#

Side quest in this game , worth it? For fun lore

obsidian patio
#

@low sun nothing too specific, unfortunately. Just name searching. But you can sort categories with a few options with the button on the top right(?)

low sun
#

ow ok, thanks

obsidian patio
#

@odd bobcat most of them are just generic quests for the most part, maybe with a tiny bit of world building

#

For ones that don’t unlock stuff

odd bobcat
#

So not worth it

#

Nice i did my first raid i like it a lot lmao

#

Cant wait for lv 80

rugged flicker
#

I'm having a bit of a hard time figuring out where I'm supposed to cast off at Burnt Lizard Creek, no matter where I stand, it won't give me the option to cast. :/

#

The cast option isn't useable, no matter where I go x.x

#

What the Hell am I doing wrong? x.x

odd bobcat
#

Can i test jobs in this game? @obsidian patio

elder merlin
#

@odd bobcat Something like wow's class trials? Not that I know of

odd bobcat
#

I saw on a video that there is an option

#

But my english is kinda bad

rugged flicker
#

I was just told in one of my linkshells that since last patch, Burnt Lizard Creek is un accessible for fishing and it's a known issue. Anyone know if there's any truth to this?

odd bobcat
#

@elder merlin 13 :20

elder merlin
#

The timestamp is about deep dungeons, I don't follow

boreal monolith
#

@rugged flicker Try getting closer to the sand void you see below there

rugged flicker
#

I've tried all sides.

#

Anyway, I'm told that it is currently a known issue.

odd bobcat
#

@elder merlin 13:32 you can try out jobs before comiting

#

That is what he say

elder merlin
#

Yeah sure, but up to what level

junior yacht
#

🤔

#

you can swap jobs freely as long as you're outside of combat

boreal monolith
#

Porbably they said that because if you have a low level job, you can win level there temporarily up to lvl 60 if I remember correctly

#

Probably*

junior yacht
#

he's not saying that you can just "play" as a level 50 war to see what it feels like

elder merlin
#

Classes don't even start feeling like any fun until at least 50+, you want to look at late game rotation, not 50-60 @odd bobcat

green grail
#

@odd bobcat yeah so basically palace of the dead has it's own leveling system, and once you unlock the starting point at floor 50 on one job, you can go in with any job you want and it'll be level 60. Except 1. you need it to be a job not a class if you want to have access to all the skills, so it needs to be lvl 30 anyways, and 2. It's just a dungeon with a bunch of free roaming mobs that die in 4-5 hits, so it's not really like you get to try the job on a dummy or anything

last kayak
#

does the first run through Holminster Switch require me to run with a trust party? I can't queue it normally even though I meet ilvl req

green grail
#

it doesn't, no

junior yacht
#

i would personally recommend doing your first run with Trusts, because it's fun interacting with your Scion buddies

#

but it's not a requirement

odd bobcat
#

Is this guide still relevant?

vocal spoke
#

Yeah

green grail
#

ehh i'm not sure it was ever relevant, squadron dungeons can take weeks/months to unlock, most people just stick to mindless potd spam then heaven on high

vocal spoke
#

Not many new things were added leveling wise

#

Oh it's for 1 - 70

#

Mb

#

Thought it was 70 - 80

leaden ginkgo
#

Uhh one part about chain xp is outdated

#

No longer a thing

hearty garden
#

What is unaspected damage?

odd bobcat
#

@green grail would you recomend me a guide to lv 1 to 80 as faT as possible?

elder merlin
#

@odd bobcat Just follow MSQ...

dusky nest
#

@hearty garden damage that has no element to it. It's only flavour text though

hearty garden
#

ah thank you

#

@dusky nest

vocal spoke
#

I mean can you really follow MSQ if you level an alt job ?

elder merlin
#

Yes

#

With road to 70

odd bobcat
#

@elder merlin im talking about altss

green grail
#

you can't do msq though if you've already done it

elder merlin
#

Sorry, must've slipped me

green grail
#

1-80 is just, 1-70 as any other guide would say so roulettes > potd or HoH spam/highest available dungeon > beast tribe dailies while waiting for roulettes, and 71-80 basically the same except no deep dungeon so roulettes > highest available dungeon either with trusts or a duty finder queue > pixie dailies while waiting in queue

rare sable
#

help, who do you tank during titania normal (adds)

#

north and west?

green grail
#

yep

#

the tree doesn't auto

leaden ginkgo
#

Mt north Ot west east is dps tanked

#

Party should prioritize the east add

odd bobcat
#

Whar potd hoh neanz? @green grail

#

Means*

leaden ginkgo
#

Palace of the Dead and Heaven on High are deep dungeons with independent leveling systems

#

You start at 1 or 60 if you're just starting and 60 or 70 respectively if youre going through at floor 51 or 21 respectively

odd bobcat
#

Also what side quest would you guys recomend to unlock things for the game

leaden ginkgo
#

Anything with a blue plus ever

odd bobcat
#

Nuice

#

Blue? Never seen one

#

A purple plus?

#

The same color as job class?

leaden ginkgo
#

Its blue and has a plus, its the same icon as your job quests

odd bobcat
#

Ok nice thanks

jaunty jay
leaden ginkgo
#

o7

#

Yeah that

odd bobcat
#

Lmao is purple for me

leaden ginkgo
#

Its kind of in the middle to me but blue and purple are on the same color spectrum thing

odd bobcat
#

What thanks would you guys think is the most fun? Im lv warior but im looking into dark knight

#

Yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

Warrior is turn your brain off tanky feeling class and has the most straight forward rotation

#

DRK is kinda like warrior but has the best defensive ability for personal gain and makes you manage no for your oGCDs

odd bobcat
#

So warior is the easiest?

leaden ginkgo
#

Paladin is the tank eith the most percentage mitigation and best self sustain/party sustain sacrificing damage

#

Arguably yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Pld also has a straight forward rotation but it requires more buttons/planning than warrior

odd bobcat
#

Im not looking into meta stuff yet im just looking for a more fun class with active thinking

leaden ginkgo
#

Then PLD or gunbreaker as gunbreaker has a seperate combo with an oGCDs combo on it

elder merlin
#

Every job in ff14 has high fun factor imo. The main reason to play ff14 is class design 😄

leaden ginkgo
#

DRK is basically 3 hit combo/bloodspiller guage spender until 70 when you get a 25% go shield

odd bobcat
#

I thought dark knight was the most difyculty one

#

@elder merlin yes I liked almost all the class

#

But i dont have time to lv up all of them

elder merlin
#

Play what you enjoy in this game, every job is meta

last kayak
#

this trust dungeon is painfully slow zomg

sweet lily
#

You get a mount if you get them all 80 right?

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean theyre all about the same in terms of damage so if you want easier go warrior or dark knight, more options/thinking for dps go GNB

odd bobcat
#

@elder merlin the meta is not my decision factor , im just looking what jobs I would prefer base on play stule

#

I thought dark knight have more management of things to do

#

While gnb has a simple rotation once you learned the muscular memory

leaden ginkgo
#

Its literally just making sure you have 3k mp for a tank buster

odd bobcat
#

Oh

leaden ginkgo
#

And if the shield breaks, hey free mitigation, the hard part is knowing when the tank buster is

elder merlin
#

@odd bobcat Literally best way is to look up youtube job reviews and see if it interests you. That's how I made my choice 😄

leaden ginkgo
#

If it does break you get a free edge of shadow if it doesnt eh you mitigated some damage

hearty garden
#

Any suggestions on the best way to level other classes?

odd bobcat
#

@elder merlin maybe , but the thing is I like the feeling of learning a new skill so i was looking more into a general review

#

An in depeth guide would make leveling verry borring for me

leaden ginkgo
#

I suggest Paladin, it has the most versatile toolkit to learn that helps in most situations

elder merlin
#

@odd bobcat I don't know what you want me to say, you do you friend 😄

odd bobcat
#

I think i will buy skip potions for everyone and do the job questions for lore lmao

leaden ginkgo
#

Pretty sure it skips the quests and you'll have only the major cutscenes and piles of text to sort through to get what they mean

odd bobcat
#

It skips job quest too?

leaden ginkgo
#

Ye

odd bobcat
#

So it is a no

leaden ginkgo
#

Otherwise you wouldnt have skills

#

Yep

odd bobcat
#

I guess i will hire players to level for me lmao

leaden ginkgo
#

Erm...dont

#

Just...dont

elder merlin
#

@odd bobcat Are you admitting to do account sharing? Be careful now 😄

odd bobcat
#

Nah im just joking

little crane
#

yoyo do all the level 80 normal dungeons drop the same ilvl?

#

cause i see some giving more tomestones than others

green grail
#

no, first 3 dungeons are 430, grand cosmos 445(?) and amnesis 455(?)

#

not sure of exact values but it's an increase

#

it's pretty irrelevant gear for the most part either way, should be replaced with phantasmagoria gear asap

little crane
#

ok thanks

#

But yeah I just dont have a lot of phantasmagoria

#

Idk the best way to farm them outside roulette

pearl wharf
#

thaumaturge: if fire costs so much more than the blizzard at a low level and yet they both do the same damage

#

why would i use fire?

slate arrow
#

fire does more damage

#

specifically, each fire gem you get multiplies your fire damage

#

each ice gem only increases MP regeneration

pearl wharf
#

oooh

#

the hell is the 180 potency than?

slate arrow
#

2.0 legacy shenanigans and how the game mechanics work

#

fire and ice used to be buffs on your status bar

#

now they're still buffs but tied to your job gauge

green grail
#

well, it's still 180 potency, but Astral fire increases it by quite a lot

What ilvl minimum should I shoot for to comfortably tank the new savage content as WAR

I feel like I've been answered this before but I forget

@vocal spoke play brd

You're welcome :)

470 at least, but the higher you can get with crafted or eden normal and tome gear the better

vocal spoke
#

Thanks

red junco
#

how long do you think it'll take for me to get a brunello?

proper junco
#

do you have to be lv 80 to get the fisher mount in ocean fishing ?

red junco
#

(Brunello is the red mage hydatos weapon)

green grail
#

if you've never touched eureka then probably a couple weeks if not more

wise bluff
#

can anyone on diabolos help me with the dying gasp?

green grail
#

don't think so, but having access to higher level fishing skills definitely helps @proper junco

odd bobcat
#

What is the difference betwen right click and left click uses?

lusty jungle
#

hey where would be the right place to ask about buying items?

leaden ginkgo
#

does anyone know why I can't use scathe for some reason? i unlocked it 5 lvls ago

dusky nest
#

@lusty jungle here, for example.
@leaden ginkgo are you in a duty that is below the level of the skill?

leaden ginkgo
#

uuh, sorry im not really sure. im still kinda new and trying tk get used to this game

lusty jungle
#

oh nice, im trying to buy 4 synthetic resin and 15 black clay

dusky nest
#

well, if you are level 20 and you enter a dungeon that is level 16-18 for example, then you will be synced down to level 18 and all skills you unlocked after 18 will be locked again for the duration of that dungeon

jaunty jay
#

broon you are going to have to ask on your server for that its airship drops

quartz falcon
#

quick how do I get 10,000 points for ocean fishing it starts in 12 minutes

south forge
#

I can't seem to 'unfocus' the chat box, whenever I press WASD to move, it just types. Any ideas how to fix?

quartz falcon
#

Am I supposed to use snagging? I know I use double hook on !! and !!! during spectral, but is getting spectral REALLY that RNG heavy?

odd bobcat
#

What is the difference betwen right click and left click uses?

jaunty jay
#

click away from the box or hit esc like its no ones business

south forge
#

Tried that, no luck

quartz falcon
#

left click targets, right click targets and gives a menu

jaunty jay
#

left click is camera movement right click is own movement

quartz falcon
#

if you click both together your character runs in the direction the camera is focused

jaunty jay
#

oh yeah, i was holding it in having fun :p

odd bobcat
#

@quartz falcon can i disable right click for targey?

#

Left click***

quartz falcon
#

There's mouse options in character config and mouse

#

but I don't think that's one of 'em

idle salmon
#

is jp under maintenance now or what

obsidian patio
#

Nope.

idle salmon
#

oh its just mog

leaden ginkgo
#

I think i picked the wrong class to be a tank. I picked lancer and am lv 10

#

Should i have picked gladiator?

alpine shadow
#

if you want to be a tank, yes

obsidian patio
#

Gladiator and Marauder are the starting tanks, yes

#

If you don't mind redo'ing the beginning you can delete your character and re-making them

#

but IMO I'd tough it out until level 15 in the story so you can visit the other city-states to get either of those two classes.

#

With Marauder being in Limsa Lominsa and Gladiator in Ul'dah.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh okay

#

Also, if I decide to use a damage focused class, will it be harder to join groups for dungeons? I dont think ive run into dungeons yet at my level

obsidian patio
#

Dungeon queues will take longer (usually around 10-15 minutes depending on the dungeon) but it's not too unbearable

#

Roulettes help keep the duty finder not have overly long queue times for the non-hardcore content like extreme and savage difficulty duties.

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh okay. Thanks for the help. Im a new player

obsidian patio
#

And there's always filling up the time in a dungeon queue by leveling up a crafting or gathering class to make a bit of extra gil in the meantime

#

with Gatherers being easier to do casually

somber thicket
#

I have been running all side quests, is this necassary/helpful?

obsidian patio
#

For the ones that don't unlock content, not really. They don't give great experience for the most part.

low sun
#

is the "recommended gear" function broken? it never takes new gear i have into account, even if the slot is empty otherwise

somber thicket
#

Yeah like I'm level 13 and my main quest is level 5. I was looking forward to dungeon at 15 but at this rate I won't get the quest till I'm like 20+

obsidian patio
#

Recommended Gear only looks at your armoury, not your inventory

oak ice
#

The blessings and curses of road to 70 penth

low sun
#

ohhh alright thanks

oak ice
#

It will also prioritize main stat over item level

obsidian patio
#

Yeah it's a bit funky before level 50 for some classes, like tanks.

oak ice
#

So it will tell you to use a 1 strength ring over an i120 ring

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone using gShade, is there a way for the discord overlay to work for it?

jaunty matrix
#

ok apperantly behemoth horn drops from eureka aswell

queen flame
#

To unlock The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate) it says I need to speak to the Minstrel in Kugane after beating Deltascape 4 Savage

#

I have completed it but I can't find the option to unlock it

#

any ideas?

slate arrow
#

Have you done savage

#

normal mode is not savage

queen flame
#

I have Sigmascape and Alphascape unlocked. Shouldnt that mean that I've done it?

slate arrow
#

no

#

you can always unlock normal raids with normal raids

#

also, you can completely skip unlocking a savage set by just not accepting a quest

queen flame
#

ah

#

i see

#

thank you

quick pecan
#

does HQ items

#

affect desynthesis results in terms of item yield and exp

slate arrow
#

no

#

the only things that affects desynth is the item level of the desynth and your desynth level

obsidian patio
#

There are two food/potion items that boost how much desynth level you get from desynthing stuff

#

The consumables being Bacon Broth and Tinker's Calm

fading stream
#

I’m lvl 31 on a pugilist (first job) and my msq is around lvl 17. Should I try and make a second job now?

#

I feel like I’m wasting exp

slate arrow
#

If you want to.

#

The exp will eventually catch up unless you only do roulettes on one job.

#

Also, you can unlock your first expansion jobs at level 50

fading stream
#

I did all the crap besides msq, and I think I shouldn’t have. A bunch of blue quests, guildhests, leveling roulette, hall of novice.

#

All the exp with a friendship circlet, food, and the 30% exp ring added up real fast.

#

I hate slugging through the msq without a challenge. I did my lvl 30 class quest with lvl 15 gear and it was actually pretty fun.

pearl wharf
#

they put down the sylph which flipped my yiazmat

#

than flipped everything else

obsidian patio
#

this has picture examples that show it off well

pearl wharf
#

this makes me more frustrated than before

obsidian patio
#

basically when a Same/Plus happens, it checks if the flipped cards can cause same/plus again for their adjacent cards

pearl wharf
#

i see that

#

still doesnt remove my frustration

obsidian patio
#

Yeah some NPCs with Same/Plus really want you to make decks that avoid repeating numbers a lot

#

like cards with two 7's or 8's on two sides

#

having a good number variety can sometimes be better than simply having a "stronger" deck

fading stream
#

That’s why in FF8 people go out of their way to abolish all of the rules.

#

Just spam shit with As and 9s after lol

rare sable
#

Stupid question, ruby weapon ex is not needed for anything else other than the weapon right? Somehow mis-read/remember got me to think that you need to clear it to do relic....

obsidian patio
#

Resistance Relic only needs Ivalice alliance story complete and some amount of MSQ

fresh lodge
#

No the trial being added in 5.25 is required for the relic

rare sable
#

Tyvm ./ebow

fresh lodge
#

Not Ruby

granite wolf
#

Should I save tomes for the 490 chest as my first war piece

obsidian patio
#

I'd say so, yeah

muted sierra
#

yeah, the balance recommends getting the tome chest piece asap for tanks

pearl wharf
#

yoshi-p needs to let us know what the damn win ratios are to get the harder triple triad cards

alpine shadow
#

yeah, we should do what people have done to ea

#

demand for loot box drop rate

#

and they tell us, its going to be < 1%

ebon kindle
#

Running into a lot of outdated information, how does the sprout+mentor XP bonus work? I seem to be reading into a lot of restrictions/specifics but, it's some is really old details

obsidian patio
#

I can't remember if they ever changed it, but the TL;DR: is that sprouts below level 20(?) get an experience boost when a Mentor is in their party.

#

In all honesty it's a boost you rarely see since there's only 3 dungeons below level 20, with the 4th one starting at 20.

ebon kindle
#

Yeah that's fair. Did see the level cap in a few places and thought that was a bit silly so hoped they'd removed it.

obsidian patio
#

According to this it also boosts experience from crafting and gathering stuff

twin kelp
#

I'm trying to unlock Void Ark. The Quest is not showing up for me, and I don't already have it unlocked. Any ideas?

obsidian patio
#

Yeah I feel like the very low level cap makes it feel useless.

ebon kindle
#

Oh well, at least I know about it even if its a bit lame lol

obsidian patio
#

You might've done the first quest and forgotten about it, since the 2nd quest in the series unlocks the duty. Is there a bluequest located at x25, y5 in The Sea of Clouds?

#

Also have you completed the quest Heavensward, AKA 3.0 base story?

twin kelp
#

mmm perhaps lemme look

left moth
#

void ark quest chain should be in ishgard and goes to north par of sea of clouds

#

if the quest is active but not complete might need to get on the sky pirate ship house thing

twin kelp
#

that was it! ty

rough anchor
#

When making a macro, do the ability names have a _ in place of spaces or just combine the words

hot eagle
#

Fees are now charged for items bought from the market board when the player is in the city where the item was listed.

rough anchor
#

So say, is basic synthesis BasicSynthesis or basic_synthesis

fresh lodge
#

There is a space but it has to be in quotes

rough anchor
#

Ah

fresh lodge
#

So /ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>

rough anchor
frosty badger
#

can i use tinker calm and bacon broth at the same time?

rough anchor
#

Don’t suppose there’s also a way to make a macro click the synthesise button and loop itself

left moth
#

@frosty badger yes (broth is a food while other is medicine. seperate timers)

frosty badger
#

thanks

#

hmm, didnt notice an increase in desynth gain

#

is says +30 gain

left moth
#

I'm not really sure what +30 means either

frosty badger
#

lol

left moth
#

unless it fakes being 30 points high when desynthing

slate arrow
#

I think it means +30%

frosty badger
#

kinda misleading

warped nest
#

So are tax lower in the same city? Or is it exactly the same no matter where you buy em?

twin kelp
#

What's the macro text for focus target?

whole wasp
#

<f>

#

Or <ft>

obsidian patio
#

Buyer's tax is always the same now

#

I think seller tax still varies based on what city-states are more "popular"

jade quartz
#

Just rotates weekly, doesn’t it?

obsidian patio
#

never payed much attention, but i remember it being like monthly or seasonal forever ago

frosty badger
#

is it worth buy ShB riding maps?

#

other than mount ground speed?

bright juniper
#

I can't quite remember, but didn't the first relics quest lines require you to clear primals on extreme or hard?

#

I remember having to do Ultima (minstrel's ballad) unsync for it

bright juniper
#

I did ask a question! Lol I'm trying to remember if I was right

#

dammit kupo!

obsidian patio
#

Kupo does that automatically.

#

Relic quests won't have you do any extreme primals

#

besides the ones for the Kettle Fists

frosty badger
#

yes?

obsidian patio
#

ShB mount boosts are pretty meh, same reason why Heavensward and Stormblood maps are also meh, they don't boost flying speed

frosty badger
#

but if you read the description

lament wagon
#

is the nq neo-ishgardian stuff worth it

slate arrow
#

no

#

never

#

never ever is NQ stuff worth it

frosty badger
#

it also says land evelvation and whatnot

obsidian patio
#

That's just flavor text

lament wagon
#

there's a chest armor for 170k but the stats seem awful

frosty badger
#

oh

slate arrow
#

exactly

#

That's someone's fucked up craft and they don't wanna make a complete loss

obsidian patio
#

Normal Quality Crafted gear past 60 is much worse than HQ stuff

slate arrow
#

Whoever buys it is a chump

obsidian patio
#

maybe trying to sell it cheap for people who just want it for glamour

#

because the Neo stuff is pretty great looking

leaden ginkgo
#

Hello, does anyone know if I can just get the scrip crafters gear to make the lvl 80 cooking recipes? Or do I really need to save up and buy facet gear just to cook those things?

obsidian patio
#

if you mean 3-star stuff, then you'll need melded facet

slate arrow
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh okay, fully overmelded?

slate arrow
#

Nah just lightly melded

#

one sec

obsidian patio
#

The biggest loss from the new White Scrip set is CP, which is vital for rotations

slate arrow
obsidian patio
#

since the pants/legs/tools/maybe also belt don't have any on them

slate arrow
#

You don't need much melds to get the miniums to HQ craft with no HQ materials

#

However if you want to craft, I recommend waiting a few weeks for the materia and facet gear markets to cool down a little

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh, tysm! I’ve been working on lvling it and I finally got it to 80 and I was stuck xD I didn’t know what I needed to do to start making the food haha. Yeah, I was looking earlier and I was like hmm no ty

slate arrow
#

If you need food, the 418 HQ blood bolluribaise is probably the best bang for your buck

#

Both CP and Control

leaden ginkgo
#

Mk, I’ll have to keep that in mind. Ty^^!

carmine oyster
#

You can use the shadowbringer dungeons for practice healing or not? Because i heard you can play these dungeons with computer players

obsidian patio
#

yeah you can do them with NPCs

carmine oyster
#

Ok great

#

When do you unlock the first dungeon?

slate arrow
#

71

warped nest
#

First Shadowbringers dungeon?

#

Yeah, lvl 71 msq

carmine oyster
#

Ok

obsidian patio
#

literally the quest after doing the Alphinaud/Alisaie quest splits in their entirety

random warren
#

you can do all the shadowbringers msq dungeons with trusts the first time

#

however after finishing the 5.0 msq they reset back to 71

#

but you can still use them one time in the 5.1 and 5.2 msq dungeons

slate arrow
#

Also, they get level synced when you're using new game plus so

#

If you're too lazy to level, there's also that

wise nexus
#

hey totally new to gathering lol have only done raids and such, can someone help me understand botany?

#

i just hit level 50 and now they're talking about auto completes or something? and collectibles lol

leaden ginkgo
#

If I drop glamoured gear into the dresser will they get dispelled?

slate arrow
#

yes

warped nest
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Good

#

What about dyes?

warped nest
#

It saves

obsidian patio
#

@wise nexus Not sure what you mean by auto-complete, but Collectables are a new system which let gatherers use specific skills to raise the Collectability of items to turn them in for experience

leaden ginkgo
#

Even better!

warped nest
#

Auto complete is the one where you auto gather a node

#

Probably

obsidian patio
#

That requires level 50? Huh.

wise nexus
#

sorry scrips lol

#

im hitting 51 now because i know to see nodes in the new gathering area i have to be 51 at least

warped nest
#

Scrip is gatherer/crafter currency

#

You can use it to trade for some gear, materia, materials, etc

wise nexus
#

so how do you get scrips and how do you know if you find a collectable or something

warped nest
#

You earn scrip by turning in items you made or gathered as Collectibles

#

You need to learn an action

#

One sec

slate arrow
#

1: use /timers or put the timer action on your hotbar

jaunty jay
#

collectors glove

slate arrow
#

2: check Rowena's for what's your current daily turn ins

#

3: locate items, turn on collectors glove, collect, turn in, repeat

wise nexus
#

i have collectorts glove, everytime i go to a node should i activate it? or will it be painfully obvious there is a collectible

slate arrow
#

If you're specifically focusing on collecting collectibles, leave it on

wise nexus
#

so will collectors glove proc like truth of the forests does?

warped nest
#

If a node can't be collected as collectible, you won't even be able to open the additional UI to gain collectible rating on it

#

It is easier for you to go and do one, and see what's up

#

Than us trying to tell you with text

wise nexus
#

im re reading everything over and over and i think im doomed lol

#

just super confusing haha

warped nest
#

It is less confusing when you do it

#

When you "gather" an collectible node, you will open up a new UI

slate arrow
#

Character menu

warped nest
#

This UI shows you your current collectible rating and now many durability is left

wise nexus
#

so 100% when i go to farm a node i will know when it is collectable

warped nest
#

You then use your lvl 50 collectible actions to increase the rating

slate arrow
#

If your collectors glove is on yes

warped nest
#

Then you press Collect

jaunty jay
warped nest
#

Yeah

#

Those two are collectible then

#

(albeit very low in value)

wise nexus
#

ok so you need to make sure to have collectors glove on all the time

warped nest
#

If you want to get collectibles, yes

jaunty jay
#

im on my 76 bot

warped nest
#

And you need a lot of GP to get high rating collectibles

wise nexus
#

how much is high?

jaunty jay
#

i scrape by with 722 gp

warped nest
#

For turn in, you want to get 450-500 rating

wise nexus
#

wonderful

slate arrow
#

At level 80

wise nexus
#

i have 420 GP

slate arrow
#

Please check your /timers menu

warped nest
#

You are just in ARR/HW

jaunty jay
#

you just hit 50 dont stress so much about high gp its impossible with 50 gear

slate arrow
#

You'll be able to pull up the current turn ins for Rowena via /timers

#

They also reset daily so don't think you'll be able to cheese them

wise nexus
#

ok i pulled up rowena's thing

warped nest
#

To be absolutely frank, advance Collectible is none of your business for now. Right now, Collectible is a good way to level DoL if you don't have Leve to do

slate arrow
#

Hover over one of the turn ins

jaunty jay
#

the day you try and cheese it, it changes

slate arrow
#

There should be 3 tiers of turn ins

wise nexus
#

yeah i see it

warped nest
#

Right most is what you need to hit to get the "best" reward, which is more Gil and exp

slate arrow
#

no gil reward from collectibles anymore

wise nexus
#

ok so right now just focus on leves

warped nest
#

For now, just do more runs

#

To make up for the lower ratings

wise nexus
#

@slate arrow thank you for the /timers help ❤️

warped nest
#

Good thing amount DoL collectible is, you just need to invest time

jaunty jay
#

write down what works for you. its the only way i got back to gathering collectables after a 6 month break

leaden ginkgo
ancient smelt
#

hi guys me and a friend come back after a lot and he want to lvl up GNB, but there is a problem a DNG at lvl 60 give only 400k EXP is there a fast wayt to do 60-61 (because the DNG at 61 give a lot of more xp than 400k)

ancient smelt
#

@leaden ginkgo yes that is MSQ

south forge
#

Can I be on more than 1 new job quest at a time?

green grail
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

@ancient smelt do the level 59 dungeon, Great Gubal Library

#

Level 60 dungeons give less since they didn't originally give experience

#

and as a personal opinion/thought, maybe also because they award tomestones and don't want them to be too rewarding.

wise nexus
#

@warped nest sorry to bother you again lol

#

so i ran across a collectible

#

screwed it up but i got 1 that meets the requirments

#

where do i turn it in?

warped nest
#

Mor Dhona + the 3 starting cities for now

#

Seeing that you are lvl 50

wise nexus
#

im level 51 if that matters

warped nest
#

Not really

wise nexus
#

ok im in mor dhona

warped nest
#

Next new spot is end of Heavensward

wise nexus
#

cant find the person

warped nest
#

Go north

#

One of the NPC should be scrip something

#

The NPC next to them should be the one taking in turn in

wise nexus
#

are they inside the castle?

warped nest
#

Outside

#

They are in lil tent booth

#

Looking at the Aetheryte

#

Go north from Aetheryte, they are between the gate on the north east and the lil bazaar on the north west

wise nexus
#

found em

#

but no option to turn in?

#

nvm

#

got it

#

that was difficult

warped nest
#

No worries

wise nexus
#

but now i know where it is ty so much ❤️

warped nest
#

I have no clue how to do collectibles for 3-4 months

#

I just ignored it until I want more gils

jaunty jay
#

@leaden ginkgo some of the msq brances out to give you a choice where to go first thats all

wise nexus
#

ok and where are the leves located from 50 to 60?

jaunty jay
#

ishgard

#

story locked

wise nexus
#

ty ty ty

ancient smelt
#

@obsidian patio ty i read your tip now

wise nexus
#

oh well i might be bad lol, i went to the leve warm in their bed, go to the green spot on the map and nothing happens

#

oh you have to intiate it via the log

#

lol

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I unlock orchestrion recipes?

#

I want to get rid of all these rolls wearycarby

jaunty jay
#

i think its a masterbook

#

not sure

carmine oyster
#

If i do an early lvl dungeon as lvl 70, how will my hotbar look like as there are spells on it that are too high lvl for the dungeon

obsidian patio
#

The actions above the level sync will be greyed out and unusable

carmine oyster
#

Ah ok but the rest stays the same, layout wise?

obsidian patio
#

yep

carmine oyster
#

Great

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I get these masterbooks?

#

I'm a level 50 ALC

obsidian patio
#

The first two come from Mor Dhona and are obtained by trading in specific items.

leaden ginkgo
#

...Well all my DoH/L are 50+

obsidian patio
#

the rest come from trading in Yellow Scrips at the scrip vendors

leaden ginkgo
#

What items? Is there a list/reference?

obsidian patio
jaunty jay
#

snap

obsidian patio
#

The items needed to trade in for the level 2 mastercraft books can be found in the first mastercraft books

#

though be aware that they're very tough to do at level 50.

leaden ginkgo
#

What do you mean?

obsidian patio
#

...Or they were before the crafting rework. Never tried since I'm level 80 and can now 2-action them

#

Basically high stat requirements and high quality needed compared to other items of similar requirements

jaunty jay
#

you cant buy half the mats hq you had to make it yourself, then make the hand in

leaden ginkgo
#

Are they expensive?

jaunty jay
#

it was frustrating

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh...

obsidian patio
#

Each craft requires 2 Fieldcraft Demimateria 3

leaden ginkgo
#

I just want to clear the clutter from my inventory...

obsidian patio
#

honestly most of the pre-50 rolls are pretty worthless

leaden ginkgo
#

Hopefully cheap?

obsidian patio
#

in any case yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

I have almost a whole page of worn rolls

#

Hey I can buy the first masterbooks...

#

Seems like the demimaterias are cheap...

#

dumb question, but are there any methods for leveling that come close to doing daily roulettes?

frosty badger
#

is anyone getting some game crushes after latest patch?

dusky nest
#

nah daily roulettes are pretty much the best

alpine shadow
#

no, unfortunatly i havent found a game crush yet,

frosty badger
#

this is my 2nd

leaden ginkgo
#

okay thanks! Just leveling my other 70's with the roulettes

jade quartz
#

Beast tribes are pretty good too

#

After you’ve exhausted all those for the day, then it’s off to the highest-level dungeon spam grind

#

Or PotD/HoH for dps queues

leaden ginkgo
#

what beast tribe should i do at 70? can i do qitari?

jade quartz
#

Pixies

#

Are for combat jobs.

#

Qitari are exclusively for gathering classes.

slate arrow
#

The qitari are gathering only and the dwarves(?) Will be crafter only

#

unless they make the third tribe a combat tribe

jade quartz
#

Third tribe is unknown

#

But it’s gonna be crafting

#

Yoshida has expressed that much.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh okay, thanks!

bitter plaza
#

they doubled the amount of xp the combat tribe gives this time

#

to make up for there being only one

warm mortar
#

So this is gonna be an odd question?

#

But I'm trying to find a raid group that's not technically a static but can like

#

Do stuff at least once a week. My FC has a raid day I can't make during my work hours, but since I'm new to the scene and a kinda casual player besides i don't wanna commit to a proper static just yet?

#

I don't know how to word it in a way that just kinda makes it clear this isn't gonna be like a super hardcore "do well or you get booted" type of thing

bitter plaza
#

softcore/casual static?

carmine oyster
#

Did my very first dungeon as white mage healer and it went great, no one died, really enjoying it

fresh lodge
#

If you can only do once a week just pug it imo

raven mason
#

how can you put materia in stuff? do you have to unlock the quest you get as a craftsman at like lvl 19

jade quartz
#

If you don’t have a crafter levelled, you can go to a materia melder NPC in any major city’s market.

#

Costs a little gil for each materia melded.

#

Can’t overmeld this way however.

twilit arch
#

you do need to do the quest "Forging the Spirit" to unlock npc melders

jade quartz
#

You can request other players to perform the meld for you with a right-click option on them.

twilit arch
#

"Waking the Spirit" requires a lvl 19 crafter to be able to self meld

warm mortar
#

@bitter plaza I guess it'd be something like that?

#

@fresh lodge Well it's also like... Idk I feel iffy about pugging content on that level?

#

(It's mostly anxiety)

fresh lodge
#

Don't be, this tier is a perfect entry point into raiding

jade quartz
#

Savage is totally puggable.

bitter plaza
#

if you were on aether id invite you along with my group some time

#

we're soft/midcore

jade quartz
#

To be clear we mean through party finder, not trying to queue on your own.

warm mortar
#

I get what you mean

#

I kinda just want something more

#

Stable than pugs

#

@bitter plaza I appreciate the gesture ;;

#

I'd move if it wasn't for the investment i put in on Crystal

#

Yeah I have other alts on Primal and could make one on Aether but jusy

#

Going through all the effort to get to that point again

robust magnet
#

Maybe just another group of friends

warm mortar
#

I... don't have another group of friends >.>

open coral
#

My FC on Crystal is on Zalera. We don't really do Savage content though.

raven mason
#

ok when i go to a materia mender all my materia are greyed out

robust magnet
#

Make sure the materia level fits the item level.

#

(And that the armor is meldable)

jade quartz
#

Materia have a minimum required gear level to be melded to

#

Also that

#

Some old sets have no meld slots

pearl wharf
#

is it normal to jump 3.5 levels by doing sastasha once (started it as a level 16 thaumaturge)?

open coral
#

Yes

pearl wharf
#

huh

#

busted

jade quartz
#

From like early Heavensward and earlier

proud willow
#

Dungeons within your level range give lots and lots of experience compared to any other activity in the entire game

open coral
#

Early dungeon xp scales really oddly. It levels off after the first three or so, but you'll still average about 1 level per dungeon until nearly level 50.

pearl wharf
#

ah ok

open coral
#

It will be to your benefit though, as it will help you overcome the MSQ level requirements.

warm mortar
#

Also there's the issue of hours I guess. Which again. Probably not gonna be easy on Crystal.

open coral
#

What kind of active hours are you looking at?

#

I've found that Crystal tends to seem the most active around 9pm EST on weekdays, and most of the day on weekends.

warm mortar
#

Late Night

#

Like 11PM or Midnight late

robust magnet
#

Maybe find an OCE group?

warm mortar
#

?

open coral
#

Might be difficult to find an OCE (Oceanic) group on Crystal.

robust magnet
#

hmm.

open coral
#

The whole DC is way more casual to begin with.

warm mortar
#

Honestly I feel like I'm asking for the impossible at this point

open coral
#

If it were Aether, you'd definitely be able to find one. I know of at least a few of those.

robust magnet
#

Honestly seems like you may need to just pug it and anyone you get along with, start forming your own casual static.
Or swap DCs.

open coral
#

Yeah, you'd likely have to shift your playable hours at least a few hours earlier to catch the majority of groups.

warm mortar
#

Thing is my

open coral
#

Work schedule?

warm mortar
#

Pretty much. I work overnights

open coral
#

Ouch. Yeah. That can complicate things.

#

Normally I'd recommend switching to one of the EU datacenters, since those will be more likely to have more people who play in the same times as you do.

robust magnet
#

Yeah that's why I thought OCE might help. I use to play a few mmos with a group of aussies that fit in my play time haha.
But I guess we don't got much in crystal huh.

warm mortar
#

@open coral Thing is I

#

Can't really move

#

House + EB

#

And it isn't like Zalera is congested so I won't even be getting my house investment back.

open coral
#

Yeah. I was going to say, it seems like you don't want to leave your current character with its ties to your server, so you might be best off doing as Kaede suggested and trying to start your own casual group.

robust magnet
#

Then you may just need to pug it or just wait until your schedule lets you raid.
Seems like every solution has a "the thing is" to it. So it might not be possible at this current time haha.

#

Either till you get different shifts (if you can), make your own group, or if your FC changes their time to fit yours maybe.

warm mortar
#

That last bit won't happen

#

There's more people who play at peak

robust magnet
#

:(

open coral
#

That's always going to be the case.

robust magnet
#

Understandable

onyx kiln
#

how do i access the trust party feature after i cleared a dungeon in ShB?

leaden ginkgo
#

In the duty menu

amber kelp
#

I paid through Steam but I still don't get a subscription

#

Do I have to wait for a bit?

leaden ginkgo
#

Sometimes you need to wait a biy

amber kelp
#

well okay

onyx kiln
#

don't see any option for trusts in the duty finder

leaden ginkgo
#

Did u finish shadowbringers all quest?

onyx kiln
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Then it should be in the menu

random warren
#

you have to relevel them

#

from 71

leaden ginkgo
#

Not duty finder

#

The menu

random warren
#

and yeh

#

duty-trusts

onyx kiln
#

found it

#

thx

random warren
#

you can use 80 trusts once for the 5.1 and 5.2 story dungeons but if you wanna use em in general for shb story dungeons you need to relevel them

i saw this comment for behemoth horn in the wiki, but i watched couple of videos of people doing that NM none of them got behemoth horn at all does anyone actually know this is true

Hi asking for a friend here - if you're eternally bonded and only one of you transfers servers, what happens to the eb? Can they turn the ring back in to the church and get married again down the line? Friend is a returning player but the person they got eb'd to stopped playing

raven sage

Yes

cool o/ most of the things i saw were about the couple transferring servers so glad to know that this can be done

Is there a reason some recipes don't who up in my crafting book?
Facet glvoes of crafting do, but gathering dont

They might be master books?

I got all of them afaik.

#

Same happened with the Neo-ishgardian healing gear.

Could be on a different class unless you have all crafters

frosty badger

so i finished ocean fishing but only got yellow scrips, how do i get white ones?

all are 80

be lv 80 I'd guess

frosty badger

i am

robust magnet
#

for the white scrips in fishing

#

hmm thinkingudao

#

good question then, that's odd.

warm mortar
#

@frosty badger for ocean fishing, catching specific fish will award white scrips

twilit arch
#

you need to get the 5s fish to get white scrip

frosty badger

5s?

Otherwise you need to do your House of Splendors turn ins or Custom Deliveries

frosty badger
#

i see...

#

thanks

warm mortar
#

But as far as ocean fishing itself it's just five star fish

frosty badger
#

even if i get 5s, is the reward big?

leaden ginkgo
#

Am I wrong in recommending SAM and MCH to a friend who mainly plays solo, joining random PFs and not having a set static to optimize around?

warm mortar
#

shrug

I think i only caught little Leviathan once and got enough scrips to buy the last Professional tool I needed after spending all of mine on the other four?

robust magnet
#

I'd recommend they play a class they enjoy tho. Or RDM since they can heal themselves and dps haha.

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah enjoy is most important but I was asked lol

warm mortar
#

I'd say SAM and MCH are pretty easy to learn?

frosty badger
#

do i need to keep the fish to get rewarded?

warm mortar
#

Red Mage is as well if he wants a caster DPS

#

Just catch i think? I honestly say don't use Release in Ocean Fishing

#

It's a waste of time.

frosty badger
#

hmm?

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank you

Meta Jobs FAQ
Info

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

oak ice
#

Doesn't matter what he plays, if he's bad he will be bad on every job

leaden ginkgo
#

It's not about that platt

warm mortar
#

It sounded like you were using Release on the fish, @frosty badger

frosty badger
#

nope

oak ice
#

Best you can do is help him find one he enjoys

frosty badger
#

should have used chum ig

leaden ginkgo
#

Thats what Im trying to do

frank zephyr
#

what' the best way to farm light for the heavensward relic?

warm mortar
#

Chum just makes them bite faster

frosty badger
#

does fish rarity affect reward?

oak ice

Brayflox hard if you're solo, Alexander stage 9 savage for groups @frank zephyr

frank zephyr
#

oh okay thanks 🙂

#

why stage 9 out of curiosity?

#

Hello! I am about to do a dungeon (castrum fluminis) and i need item level 335 which i dont have yet, so my question is does anyone know how i can get better gear for the dungeon??

#

ooh, and its the stormblood expansion

random warren
#

you can buy level 70 gear with poetics in rhalgrs reach

#

390 too

#

or you can buy 385 grey gear from a vendor in kugane/get a friend to make you it

undone tinsel
#

@random warren thank you so much ❤️

#

just got new gear

thorn yoke
#

what do the message board things do? i can't use them because free trial

whole wasp
#

You mean the marketboard?

#

The one you can click on in each cities markets?

thorn yoke
#

yeah

whole wasp
#

Thats like the auction house basically.

#

But theres no auctioning. Just straight buying from other players.

thorn yoke
#

oh cool

random warren
#

momme heads up

#

you dont buy the weapon with poetics directly per se you buy items

#

10 timestone items and 1 other item

#

cant remember what they are for 390 tho

#

heads a bit fucked up atm

robust magnet
#

Is it fine to use +20s instead of +15s for melding (while following the Balance guide for gatherers). I got some extra +20s and don't feel like buying +15s

whole wasp
#

10x tomestone(genesis) and a military-grade tomestone.

#

Kaede, are you overmelding?

#

Higher grades have higher chance of failures

robust magnet
#

atm fitting normal slots

#

overmelding after.

whole wasp
#

Normal slots should be whatever.

#

Keep in mind vi is 100%safe to remove unlike vii or viii

#

When you have to upgrade.

leaden ginkgo
#

Silly question here, but I'm still kind of new. How does one become an interior designer in this game? Do you have to have all crafts maxed and buy/make all of the items the person asking for yourself?

rare sable
#

You can get the funiture from your hire-er (+working fee), what you need the most is knowledge on how to glitch, patience, determination, lots of spare time, and good sense of decoration I guess

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok, that makes more sense than what I had in mind, thanks. There isn't anyway to preview how multiple items would look set up rather than just one piece at a time, is there?

rare sable
#

Nope

leaden ginkgo
#

Man, that would be love

rare sable
#

One piece at a time, hope you have good spatial memory

leaden ginkgo
#

As it so happens, I don't 😂

rare sable
#

May I suggest a change in occupation goal then x'D

leaden ginkgo
#

Can't, my heart is set on this. Only hours of misplaced frustration and wasted time will deter me from my course

rare sable
#

Well... from what I witness.... one large house took 1-2 weeks of 4-6hrs/day working

#

Good luck, work hard

leaden ginkgo
#

That's a full time gig! Thanks!

rare sable
#

Large house if you want to make it pretty, you gotta block one of the floor (due to funiture limit)

#

Med is best for designer house

#

Enough space with enough item limit

#

(Just fyi)

#

I'm currently leveling pld and I was thinking whether it would be possible for a pld, in high end raid content to just cover the main tank during tankbusters that would otherwise need swapping

tawdry otter
#

have ffxiv a api to check out the auction house?

silent pike
#

PLD can ease tank busters for other tanks if they want to

#

But I don't think they can get around swap mechanics

leaden ginkgo
#

Youd have to plan the cover in advance cuz it ignores the original targets cooldowns

silent pike
#

If they can only specific ones

#

Like multihit tank busters you're supposed to swap during the cast

#

Maybe

topaz scroll
#

question, how do I claim ovoos on frontlines?

#

do I just stand on them?

tribal wave
#

yeah I learnt about the no buffs from main tank fooling around in potd haha

#

but if in theory I want to try covering a tank buster I also have to fire off my own cds before covering right?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

silent pike
#

For intervention yes

#

For cover it's optional

leaden ginkgo
#

Intervention is probably better than cover because it takes half the percent of either rampart or sentinel and adds 10% mitigation to your target

#

With a short recast and helps with double tank busters

tribal wave
#

oh damn that. makes pld sound pretty fun ngl! I'm only at lv60 rn so I'll check up on the rest of the skills when I get back online

topaz scroll
#

guys

#

In frontlines how does one claim ovoos?

silent pike
#

I tend not to use the team support cds but that's only because I can't be bothered to target something else

#

Probably could use a macro though to make it easier

topaz scroll
short loom
#

um could someone give me monk rotation guide plz

tribal wave
#

ren sorry I don't... play pvp at all

#

but I think you need to clear the surrounding area of enemies before doing capture the flag? probably

topaz scroll
#

right clicking doesn't work yet I see some people doing an interaction to claim it sometimes

#

I'm just confused lol

scarlet arrow
#

as long as the other tank has a consistent party number you can write a macro to target that party member, use Intervention, and then target whatever you had targeted last (presumably the boss)

leaden ginkgo
#

Stand on it when its active while youre not in combat

silent pike
#

In a matched party the other tank will always be member 2

topaz scroll
#

that will claim the ovoo? So it does it automatically?

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

topaz scroll
#

Nice thank you paissaowo

tribal wave
#

I have the other tank set as second party member so yeah! I can try that out when I get the skill haha
been doing the same for the shirk macro anyway, just missing the target last targeted section since I just mash tab for that bit

short loom
#

!mnkguide

topaz scroll
#

on the topic of the pld macro

#

what line would i need to write to go back to my old target?

leaden ginkgo
#

The one I use for controller is just
/ac intervention <2>

#

I think

tribal wave
#

I don't have target of target set for my macros either so can't really get back to you on that

leaden ginkgo
#

No weird targeting needed it just does your number 2 party slot

topaz scroll
#

then I have to manually target the boss/mob again?

#

or does it keep my original targeting?

tribal wave
#

it's a bit faster to do it manually iirc

leaden ginkgo
#

Keeps original target but the macro targets your second party slot

#

Wont shift target either

topaz scroll
#

nice thanks again guys 😄

scarlet arrow
#

I believe /tlt will retarget your previous target

wise nexus
#

where is the leve person for gathering 60-70 i'm a botanist?

whole wasp
#

kugane

tardy patio
#

I want to go back to eureka now that its heavily simplified since I only ever got to like lv16 in Anemos, is it a good idea to just blitz thru the clog and get to max level and move onto the next zone asap or is there a reason to stick around to the current area to farm something

wise nexus
#

ty ty

whole wasp
#

not until you hit pyros

#

then you might consider doing bunnies for money/logos

#

even then, you might be stuck in pagos for awhile to get your eureka relic weapon

tardy patio
#

Cool. I dont have a huge desire to grind protean for a relic yet I just want to have the option to enter BA someday

#

Which I hope doesnt require a relic

thorn yoke
#

Where is the glamour quest npc?

whole wasp
#

not per se but definitely helps

#

BA is synced and has no echo

#

glamour quest npc should be in vesper bay

tardy patio
#

Ah relic weapons have an inherent strength over ilv-synced weapons

thorn yoke
#

Which city is that near?

whole wasp
#

yes, eureka bouns

#

you can teleport to horizon and walk there

tardy patio
#

Guess I'll look into which one looks the coolest to drop 40 hours into lol. Thanks

whole wasp
#

or teleport to limsa -> arcanist guild -> take the ferry

#

consider getting the vermillion hood/kirin osode

cedar saddle
#

Should I level up to level 80 and then continue the Shadowbringers MSQ, because I end up having to level up every few quests. And the sidequests aren't enough to level me up.

open coral
#

Are you doing daily roulettes?

cedar saddle
#

yes

open coral
#

If that's the case, you shouldn't be hitting level caps that often in ShB.

random warren
#

yes

#

ironworks and upgraded to 130 will last you til 55

#

id advise as a tank

#

trying to upgrade before the level 57 dungeon the vault though

#

cuz its a hard hitter

open coral
#

Augmented Ironworks (and later Augmented Shire and Augmented Scaevan) gear should be good for you until you hit the halfway point dungeons for each expansion.

random warren
#

but dw the 120 gear will safely get you through all of arr

open coral
#

At which point the gear from those dungeons will start to outstrip the utility of the level cap gear from the previous expansion.

#

Poetics are farmable

#

You can get something like 900 per day just from doing roulettes.

scarlet arrow
#

for reference ironworks gear has the same iLvl as gear dropped from the first HW dungeon at lvl 51

open coral
#

Praetorium should only take 40 minutes at worst.

#

Best time I've had for a group in there was 36 minutes.

#

Castrum Meridianum gives the same amount of poetics, and is about 10 minutes shorter.

thick bolt
#

What's up with frontlines, sometimes it takes forever for me to get a que sometimes it's instant. Anyone know why?\

open coral
#

Depends on the time of day and your datacenter's frontline time.

thick bolt
#

Is their a way to find that out?

open coral
#

It's kind of random?

#

Just pay attention to when you're getting shorter queues for it, and try to queue around that time.

low sun
#

are the daily alliance raids playable by nublets like me (started the game a week ago, lvl62) or do i ruin it for everybody if i queue for it?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You're fine to do it blibd

#

Alliance raids are mostly faceroll

low sun
#

ok thanks

faint flare
#

If it doesn't have extreme, savage, ultimate, minsitral ballad or binding coils in the name, you can do it blind and in duty finder

leaden ginkgo
#

The Limsa shortcut to the Waking Sands might be slower if you're on console and/or have a slow hard drive...

random warren
#

its not that long a load time on ps4

#

the super long load time for ps4 is like your first load into an area or populated area after that its actually not that bad

leaden ginkgo
#

Might be slow enough that Horizon is faster 😅

pine carbon
#

hey what does the busy function do functionality wise?

faint flare
#

Cant be traded with

#

/busy will block friend invites, LS/FC/party invites, trade requests, /tell

leaden ginkgo
#

For SB, should I take equipment or materia?

junior yacht
#

equipment

faint flare
#

If it's an upgrade then take it

#

As always

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm just selling all the equipment

junior yacht
#

yeah but you'd be selling the materia

faint flare
#

If upgrade: take it. If not upgrade or not for you: take materia

junior yacht
#

gear is more immediately impactful

leaden ginkgo
#

My gear is fine, so tier 5 materia?

hot eagle
#

take the gear and sell it should be worth more as the old materia

leaden ginkgo
#

BACK w more questions >:D ,so im almost lvl 80 (am lvl 78 1/2, should i still get lvl 70 armor or just save poetics for lvl 80?

hot eagle
#

lvl80 gear doesn't use poetics

leaden ginkgo
#

o.. 😮

#

ty :3

#

So gear or materia to sell?

hot eagle
#

we only get 80 poetics gear at the next expansion or shortly before

junior yacht
#

is the level 70 poetic gear better than what you're wearing?

leaden ginkgo
#

I am at the beginning of SB

#

Using the Shire gear

hot eagle
#

gear should sell probably for more, I would take the gear but don't know your marked board

lament wagon
#

does a player get a penalty if they're kicked from a duty

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

i have no idea but it prob is , its the lvl 60 gear from idyl XD

#

im in reach rn ,who exactly am i talking to for lvl 70 gear

#

i see a person w tokens 😄 lol

strange coral
#

I don't think you can buy lvl 70 poetic gear until you finish SB MSQ anyway

leaden ginkgo
#

ah shit

#

ty for letting me know

hot eagle
#

unlocks after 4.0 base stormblood

leaden ginkgo
#

ty^^

strange coral
#

As long as you're getting gear appropriate for the content level, eg level 64 quests, then you'll be fine since you won't have access to level 70+ stuff until you finish SB

narrow glacier
#

You can get i380 crafted HQ and upgrade it to i390 it just might be a bit pricey

leaden ginkgo
#

guys item dropps will be auto looted or ?

junior yacht
#

no

#

wait, what do you mean

#

monsters or treasure chests

leaden ginkgo
#

dropps from monsters

junior yacht
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

autoloot?

junior yacht
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

ok nice

#

and how can i change the pov in the settings ?

strange coral
#

The default keybind is Home I think to toggle first person, if that's what you mean

#

Not sure about controller

stark sleet
#

If you wanna mess with other camera settings, I think the options for it are in character settings > camera. You can do stuff like angle it higher and lower, move it up and down, zoom, etc.

carmine oyster
#

Where to buy lvl 70 gear? Can this also with gil or only with sprcial currency?

strange coral
#

Market board with gil, or Rhalgr's Reach with poetics if SB 4.0 MSQ is finished

fresh lodge
#

4.0 but yeah

strange coral
#

Oh yea >_<

upbeat storm
#

do people care about where the item is being sold at on the mb

fresh lodge
#

Not anymore

upbeat storm
#

so i should just move all my retainers to the lowest tax city then

fresh lodge
#

Yes

carmine oyster
#

Are the market boards not shown on the map?

#

Cant find one

green grail
#

they are

strange coral
#

They are in most of the major cities. If you are in one of the ARR cities that's split in to 2 maps, you might need to move to the other map to find them
