whats the WHM one called? Can't find it on gamerescape
I searched "Shinryu's Ephemeral"
It is very new, I don't think it has any picture
oh i'll check mb then
You can solo it if you have a lvl 70+ job
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
Are there any housing restrictions on stuff like Blazing Inferno Wall Lamp, where you could only place one of them in your house?
!faq treasuremaps
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
What’s the fastest way to farm phantasma?
Oh
Hunt trains
How do I join those?
Uhhh for retainers...
I have a DoW already
The other one should be what?
Miner, botanist or fisher?
...Or another DoW?
Where do I get the blue level 60 Botanist gear?
are there any cool dark knight glamour weapons that you can buy from the MB?
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
!itemglam Inferno Faussar
is it possible to speed up cutscene parts with no dialogue
!itemglam Mighty Thunderclap
No, Giga
Sad
These are the 2 ARR primal glowing weapons
They might be within your budget
You have to check on your MB board
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
!itemglam Dead Hive Claymore
!itemglam seeing horde guillotine
!itemglam edge of the goddess
Good luck, I hope you found something you like, @dusk zenith
The anima weapons kinda slap if you have poetics aplenty
i'm probably just blind but how do i set more specific filters on the market board?
Side quest in this game , worth it? For fun lore
@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(?)
ow ok, thanks
@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
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
Can i test jobs in this game? @obsidian patio
@odd bobcat Something like wow's class trials? Not that I know of
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?

Hello and Welcome to Final Fantasy XIV, if you are new or are just returning to the ...
@elder merlin 13 :20
The timestamp is about deep dungeons, I don't follow
@rugged flicker Try getting closer to the sand void you see below there
Yeah sure, but up to what level
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*
he's not saying that you can just "play" as a level 50 war to see what it feels like
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
@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
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
it doesn't, no
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
Let us continue with my comprehensive version and conclusion of my leveling-guide series, with some completely new methods of leveling through "Command missions" and with new helpful gimmicks, like the "Aetherryte Earring" and stuff alike.
I hope you like the video and keep u...
Is this guide still relevant?
Yeah
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
Not many new things were added leveling wise
Oh it's for 1 - 70
Mb
Thought it was 70 - 80
What is unaspected damage?
@green grail would you recomend me a guide to lv 1 to 80 as faT as possible?
@odd bobcat Just follow MSQ...
@hearty garden damage that has no element to it. It's only flavour text though
I mean can you really follow MSQ if you level an alt job ?
@elder merlin im talking about altss
you can't do msq though if you've already done it
Sorry, must've slipped me
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
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
Also what side quest would you guys recomend to unlock things for the game
Anything with a blue plus ever
Its blue and has a plus, its the same icon as your job quests
Ok nice thanks

Lmao is purple for me
Its kind of in the middle to me but blue and purple are on the same color spectrum thing
What thanks would you guys think is the most fun? Im lv warior but im looking into dark knight
Yeah
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
So warior is the easiest?
Paladin is the tank eith the most percentage mitigation and best self sustain/party sustain sacrificing damage
Arguably yes

Pld also has a straight forward rotation but it requires more buttons/planning than warrior
Im not looking into meta stuff yet im just looking for a more fun class with active thinking
Then PLD or gunbreaker as gunbreaker has a seperate combo with an oGCDs combo on it
Every job in ff14 has high fun factor imo. The main reason to play ff14 is class design 😄
DRK is basically 3 hit combo/bloodspiller guage spender until 70 when you get a 25% go shield
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
Play what you enjoy in this game, every job is meta
this trust dungeon is painfully slow zomg
You get a mount if you get them all 80 right?
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
@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
Its literally just making sure you have 3k mp for a tank buster
Oh
And if the shield breaks, hey free mitigation, the hard part is knowing when the tank buster is
@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 😄
If it does break you get a free edge of shadow if it doesnt eh you mitigated some damage
Any suggestions on the best way to level other classes?
@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
I suggest Paladin, it has the most versatile toolkit to learn that helps in most situations
@odd bobcat I don't know what you want me to say, you do you friend 😄
I think i will buy skip potions for everyone and do the job questions for lore lmao
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
It skips job quest too?
Ye
So it is a no
I guess i will hire players to level for me lmao
@odd bobcat Are you admitting to do account sharing? Be careful now 😄
Nah im just joking
yoyo do all the level 80 normal dungeons drop the same ilvl?
cause i see some giving more tomestones than others
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
ok thanks
But yeah I just dont have a lot of phantasmagoria
Idk the best way to farm them outside roulette

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?
fire does more damage
specifically, each fire gem you get multiplies your fire damage
each ice gem only increases MP regeneration
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
well, it's still 180 potency, but Astral fire increases it by quite a lot
I've been looking for a new DPS main, any suggestions ?
I'm up for anything, Melee, cast, Ranged
whatever you like the looks/aesthetics of most 
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
Thanks
how long do you think it'll take for me to get a brunello?
do you have to be lv 80 to get the fisher mount in ocean fishing ?
(Brunello is the red mage hydatos weapon)
if you've never touched eureka then probably a couple weeks if not more
can anyone on diabolos help me with the dying gasp?
don't think so, but having access to higher level fishing skills definitely helps @proper junco
What is the difference betwen right click and left click uses?
hey where would be the right place to ask about buying items?
does anyone know why I can't use scathe for some reason? i unlocked it 5 lvls ago
@lusty jungle here, for example.
@leaden ginkgo are you in a duty that is below the level of the skill?
uuh, sorry im not really sure. im still kinda new and trying tk get used to this game
oh nice, im trying to buy 4 synthetic resin and 15 black clay
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
broon you are going to have to ask on your server for that its airship drops
quick how do I get 10,000 points for ocean fishing it starts in 12 minutes
I can't seem to 'unfocus' the chat box, whenever I press WASD to move, it just types. Any ideas how to fix?
Am I supposed to use snagging? I know I use double hook on !! and !!! during spectral, but is getting spectral REALLY that RNG heavy?
What is the difference betwen right click and left click uses?
click away from the box or hit esc like its no ones business
Tried that, no luck
left click targets, right click targets and gives a menu
left click is camera movement right click is own movement
if you click both together your character runs in the direction the camera is focused
oh yeah, i was holding it in having fun :p
There's mouse options in character config and mouse
but I don't think that's one of 'em

is jp under maintenance now or what
Nope.
oh its just mog
I think i picked the wrong class to be a tank. I picked lancer and am lv 10
Should i have picked gladiator?
if you want to be a tank, yes
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.
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
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.
Oh okay. Thanks for the help. Im a new player
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
I have been running all side quests, is this necassary/helpful?
For the ones that don't unlock content, not really. They don't give great experience for the most part.
is the "recommended gear" function broken? it never takes new gear i have into account, even if the slot is empty otherwise
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+
Recommended Gear only looks at your armoury, not your inventory
The blessings and curses of road to 70 
ohhh alright thanks
It will also prioritize main stat over item level
Yeah it's a bit funky before level 50 for some classes, like tanks.
So it will tell you to use a 1 strength ring over an i120 ring
Anyone using gShade, is there a way for the discord overlay to work for it?
ok apperantly behemoth horn drops from eureka aswell
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?
I have Sigmascape and Alphascape unlocked. Shouldnt that mean that I've done it?
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

no
the only things that affects desynth is the item level of the desynth and your desynth level
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
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
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
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.
can somebody explain to me how this combo shit works?
they put down the sylph which flipped my yiazmat
than flipped everything else
673 votes and 136 comments so far on Reddit
this has picture examples that show it off well
this makes me more frustrated than before
basically when a Same/Plus happens, it checks if the flipped cards can cause same/plus again for their adjacent cards
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
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
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....
Resistance Relic only needs Ivalice alliance story complete and some amount of MSQ
No the trial being added in 5.25 is required for the relic
Tyvm ./ebow
Not Ruby
Should I save tomes for the 490 chest as my first war piece
I'd say so, yeah
yeah, the balance recommends getting the tome chest piece asap for tanks
yoshi-p needs to let us know what the damn win ratios are to get the harder triple triad cards
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%

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
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.
25 votes and 8 comments so far on Reddit
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.
According to this it also boosts experience from crafting and gathering stuff
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?
Yeah I feel like the very low level cap makes it feel useless.
Oh well, at least I know about it even if its a bit lame lol
You might've done the first quest and forgotten about it, since the 2nd quest in the series unlocks the duty. Is there a
located at x25, y5 in The Sea of Clouds?
Also have you completed the quest Heavensward, AKA 3.0 base story?
mmm perhaps lemme look
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
that was it! ty
\o/
why do i still see fees for buying from the same mb as city state?
no more tax evade with latest patch
When making a macro, do the ability names have a _ in place of spaces or just combine the words
Fees are now charged for items bought from the market board when the player is in the city where the item was listed.
So say, is basic synthesis BasicSynthesis or basic_synthesis
There is a space but it has to be in quotes
Ah
So /ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>

can i use tinker calm and bacon broth at the same time?
Don’t suppose there’s also a way to make a macro click the synthesise button and loop itself
@frosty badger yes (broth is a food while other is medicine. seperate timers)
I'm not really sure what +30 means either
lol
unless it fakes being 30 points high when desynthing
I think it means +30%
kinda misleading
So are tax lower in the same city? Or is it exactly the same no matter where you buy em?
What's the macro text for focus target?
Buyer's tax is always the same now
I think seller tax still varies based on what city-states are more "popular"
Just rotates weekly, doesn’t it?
never payed much attention, but i remember it being like monthly or seasonal forever ago
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

Kupo does that automatically.
Relic quests won't have you do any extreme primals
besides the ones for the Kettle Fists
yes?
ShB mount boosts are pretty meh, same reason why Heavensward and Stormblood maps are also meh, they don't boost flying speed
but if you read the description
is the nq neo-ishgardian stuff worth it
it also says land evelvation and whatnot
That's just flavor text
there's a chest armor for 170k but the stats seem awful
oh
Normal Quality Crafted gear past 60 is much worse than HQ stuff
Whoever buys it is a chump
maybe trying to sell it cheap for people who just want it for glamour
because the Neo stuff is pretty great looking
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?
if you mean 3-star stuff, then you'll need melded facet
^
Ahh okay, fully overmelded?
The biggest loss from the new White Scrip set is CP, which is vital for rotations
since the pants/legs/tools/maybe also belt don't have any on them
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
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
If you need food, the 418 HQ blood bolluribaise is probably the best bang for your buck
Both CP and Control
Mk, I’ll have to keep that in mind. Ty^^!
You can use the shadowbringer dungeons for practice healing or not? Because i heard you can play these dungeons with computer players
yeah you can do them with NPCs
71
Ok
literally the quest after doing the Alphinaud/Alisaie quest splits in their entirety
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
Also, they get level synced when you're using new game plus so
If you're too lazy to level, there's also that
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
If I drop glamoured gear into the dresser will they get dispelled?
yes
Yes
It saves
@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
Even better!
That requires level 50? Huh.
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
Scrip is gatherer/crafter currency
You can use it to trade for some gear, materia, materials, etc
so how do you get scrips and how do you know if you find a collectable or something
You earn scrip by turning in items you made or gathered as Collectibles
You need to learn an action
One sec
1: use /timers or put the timer action on your hotbar
collectors glove
2: check Rowena's for what's your current daily turn ins
3: locate items, turn on collectors glove, collect, turn in, repeat
i have collectorts glove, everytime i go to a node should i activate it? or will it be painfully obvious there is a collectible
If you're specifically focusing on collecting collectibles, leave it on
so will collectors glove proc like truth of the forests does?
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
im re reading everything over and over and i think im doomed lol
just super confusing haha
It is less confusing when you do it
When you "gather" an collectible node, you will open up a new UI
Character menu
This UI shows you your current collectible rating and now many durability is left
so 100% when i go to farm a node i will know when it is collectable
You then use your lvl 50 collectible actions to increase the rating
If your collectors glove is on yes
Then you press Collect
ok so you need to make sure to have collectors glove on all the time
If you want to get collectibles, yes
im on my 76 bot
And you need a lot of GP to get high rating collectibles
how much is high?
i scrape by with 722 gp
For turn in, you want to get 450-500 rating
wonderful
At level 80
i have 420 GP
Please check your /timers menu
You are just in ARR/HW
you just hit 50 dont stress so much about high gp its impossible with 50 gear
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
ok i pulled up rowena's thing
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
Hover over one of the turn ins
the day you try and cheese it, it changes
There should be 3 tiers of turn ins
yeah i see it
Right most is what you need to hit to get the "best" reward, which is more Gil and exp
no gil reward from collectibles anymore
ok so right now just focus on leves
@slate arrow thank you for the /timers help ❤️
Good thing amount DoL collectible is, you just need to invest time
write down what works for you. its the only way i got back to gathering collectables after a 6 month break
http://puu.sh/FdXSK/be96142987.jpg does this mean it's part of the MSQ? I'm in a town and 3 different people have these kinds of quests
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)

@leaden ginkgo yes that is MSQ
Can I be on more than 1 new job quest at a time?
yes
@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.
@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?
im level 51 if that matters
Not really
ok im in mor dhona
Next new spot is end of Heavensward
cant find the person
Go north
One of the NPC should be scrip something
The NPC next to them should be the one taking in turn in
are they inside the castle?
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
No worries
but now i know where it is ty so much ❤️
I have no clue how to do collectibles for 3-4 months
I just ignored it until I want more gils
@leaden ginkgo some of the msq brances out to give you a choice where to go first thats all
ok and where are the leves located from 50 to 60?
ty ty ty
@obsidian patio ty i read your tip now
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
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
The actions above the level sync will be greyed out and unusable
Ah ok but the rest stays the same, layout wise?
yep
Great
The first two come from Mor Dhona and are obtained by trading in specific items.
...Well all my DoH/L are 50+
the rest come from trading in Yellow Scrips at the scrip vendors
What items? Is there a list/reference?
snap
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.
What do you mean?
...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
you cant buy half the mats hq you had to make it yourself, then make the hand in
Are they expensive?
it was frustrating
Oh...
Each craft requires 2 Fieldcraft Demimateria 3
I just want to clear the clutter from my inventory...
honestly most of the pre-50 rolls are pretty worthless
Hopefully cheap?
in any case yeah
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?
is anyone getting some game crushes after latest patch?
nah daily roulettes are pretty much the best
no, unfortunatly i havent found a game crush yet,
this is my 2nd
okay thanks! Just leveling my other 70's with the roulettes
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
what beast tribe should i do at 70? can i do qitari?
The qitari are gathering only and the dwarves(?) Will be crafter only
unless they make the third tribe a combat tribe
Third tribe is unknown
But it’s gonna be crafting
Yoshida has expressed that much.
oh okay, thanks!
they doubled the amount of xp the combat tribe gives this time
to make up for there being only one
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

softcore/casual static?
Did my very first dungeon as white mage healer and it went great, no one died, really enjoying it
If you can only do once a week just pug it imo
how can you put materia in stuff? do you have to unlock the quest you get as a craftsman at like lvl 19
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.
you do need to do the quest "Forging the Spirit" to unlock npc melders
You can request other players to perform the meld for you with a right-click option on them.
"Waking the Spirit" requires a lvl 19 crafter to be able to self meld
@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)
Don't be, this tier is a perfect entry point into raiding
Savage is totally puggable.
if you were on aether id invite you along with my group some time
we're soft/midcore
To be clear we mean through party finder, not trying to queue on your own.
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
Maybe just another group of friends
I... don't have another group of friends >.>
My FC on Crystal is on Zalera. We don't really do Savage content though.
ok when i go to a materia mender all my materia are greyed out
Materia have a minimum required gear level to be melded to
Also that
Some old sets have no meld slots
is it normal to jump 3.5 levels by doing sastasha once (started it as a level 16 thaumaturge)?
Yes
From like early Heavensward and earlier
Dungeons within your level range give lots and lots of experience compared to any other activity in the entire game
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.
ah ok
It will be to your benefit though, as it will help you overcome the MSQ level requirements.
Also there's the issue of hours I guess. Which again. Probably not gonna be easy on Crystal.
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.
Maybe find an OCE group?
?
Might be difficult to find an OCE (Oceanic) group on Crystal.
hmm.
The whole DC is way more casual to begin with.
Honestly I feel like I'm asking for the impossible at this point
If it were Aether, you'd definitely be able to find one. I know of at least a few of those.
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.
Yeah, you'd likely have to shift your playable hours at least a few hours earlier to catch the majority of groups.
Thing is my
Work schedule?
Pretty much. I work overnights
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.
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.
@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.
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.
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.
:(
That's always going to be the case.
Understandable
how do i access the trust party feature after i cleared a dungeon in ShB?
In the duty menu
I paid through Steam but I still don't get a subscription
Do I have to wait for a bit?
Sometimes you need to wait a biy
well okay
don't see any option for trusts in the duty finder
Did u finish shadowbringers all quest?
yes
Then it should be in the menu
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

We won't be seeing a new healer job for some time right?
we may do in 6.0
they are aware people aren't happy about there being no healer in 5.0
I'm debating on desynthing my blue tome healer gear or not
kinda taking up a lot of space haha.
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
i guess its true because theres npc to trade behemoth horn in eureka pagos
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
Yes
cool o/ most of the things i saw were about the couple transferring servers so glad to know that this can be done
I think you can just, chunk the ring out, and you'll be considered "divorced" ?
no, it can't be discarded
No you have to take it to the church, you can't discard it
Aah, sorry bout that
So i finally dived into the world of hud changing / macro shenanigans, but i don't understand a single thing about the macro's for copying hotbars and pasting them into others
im following a vid, but the thing he does, it doesn't work exactly for me
What level does ACN pick up a bit? Only played a LNC and it seemed to do soo much more damage
standard
30
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?
Could be on a different class unless you have all crafters
so i finished ocean fishing but only got yellow scrips, how do i get white ones?
i am
@frosty badger for ocean fishing, catching specific fish will award white scrips
you need to get the 5s fish to get white scrip
5s?
star
Five star
Little Leviathan for example
Otherwise you need to do your House of Splendors turn ins or Custom Deliveries
But as far as ocean fishing itself it's just five star fish
even if i get 5s, is the reward big?
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?
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?
I'd recommend they play a class they enjoy tho. Or RDM since they can heal themselves and dps haha.
Yeah enjoy is most important but I was asked lol
I'd say SAM and MCH are pretty easy to learn?
do i need to keep the fish to get rewarded?
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.
hmm?
Thank you
!faq meta
Doesn't matter what he plays, if he's bad he will be bad on every job
It's not about that platt
It sounded like you were using Release on the fish, @frosty badger
nope
Best you can do is help him find one he enjoys
should have used chum ig
Thats what Im trying to do
what' the best way to farm light for the heavensward relic?
Chum just makes them bite faster
does fish rarity affect reward?
Brayflox hard if you're solo, Alexander stage 9 savage for groups @frank zephyr
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
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
what do the message board things do? i can't use them because free trial
yeah
Thats like the auction house basically.
But theres no auctioning. Just straight buying from other players.
oh cool
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
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
10x tomestone(genesis) and a military-grade tomestone.
Kaede, are you overmelding?
Higher grades have higher chance of failures
Normal slots should be whatever.
Keep in mind vi is 100%safe to remove unlike vii or viii
When you have to upgrade.
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?
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
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?
Nope
Man, that would be love
One piece at a time, hope you have good spatial memory
As it so happens, I don't 😂
May I suggest a change in occupation goal then x'D
Can't, my heart is set on this. Only hours of misplaced frustration and wasted time will deter me from my course

Well... from what I witness.... one large house took 1-2 weeks of 4-6hrs/day working
Good luck, work hard
That's a full time gig! Thanks!
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
have ffxiv a api to check out the auction house?
PLD can ease tank busters for other tanks if they want to
But I don't think they can get around swap mechanics
Youd have to plan the cover in advance cuz it ignores the original targets cooldowns
If they can only specific ones
Like multihit tank busters you're supposed to swap during the cast
Maybe
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?
Yes
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
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
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

um could someone give me monk rotation guide plz
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
right clicking doesn't work yet I see some people doing an interaction to claim it sometimes
I'm just confused lol
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)
Stand on it when its active while youre not in combat
In a matched party the other tank will always be member 2
that will claim the ovoo? So it does it automatically?
Nice thank you 
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
!mnkguide
on the topic of the pld macro
what line would i need to write to go back to my old target?
I don't have target of target set for my macros either so can't really get back to you on that
No weird targeting needed it just does your number 2 party slot
then I have to manually target the boss/mob again?
or does it keep my original targeting?
it's a bit faster to do it manually iirc
Keeps original target but the macro targets your second party slot
Wont shift target either
nice thanks again guys 😄
I believe /tlt will retarget your previous target
where is the leve person for gathering 60-70 i'm a botanist?
kugane
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
ty ty
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
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
Where is the glamour quest npc?
not per se but definitely helps
BA is synced and has no echo
glamour quest npc should be in vesper bay
Ah relic weapons have an inherent strength over ilv-synced weapons
Which city is that near?
Guess I'll look into which one looks the coolest to drop 40 hours into lol. Thanks
or teleport to limsa -> arcanist guild -> take the ferry
consider getting the vermillion hood/kirin osode
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.
Are you doing daily roulettes?

yes
If that's the case, you shouldn't be hitting level caps that often in ShB.
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
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.
but dw the 120 gear will safely get you through all of arr
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.
for reference ironworks gear has the same iLvl as gear dropped from the first HW dungeon at lvl 51
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.
What's up with frontlines, sometimes it takes forever for me to get a que sometimes it's instant. Anyone know why?\
Depends on the time of day and your datacenter's frontline time.
Is their a way to find that out?
It's kind of random?
Just pay attention to when you're getting shorter queues for it, and try to queue around that time.
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?
ok thanks
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
The Limsa shortcut to the Waking Sands might be slower if you're on console and/or have a slow hard drive...
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
Might be slow enough that Horizon is faster 😅
hey what does the busy function do functionality wise?
Cant be traded with
/busy will block friend invites, LS/FC/party invites, trade requests, /tell
For SB, should I take equipment or materia?
equipment
I'm just selling all the equipment
yeah but you'd be selling the materia
If upgrade: take it. If not upgrade or not for you: take materia
gear is more immediately impactful
My gear is fine, so tier 5 materia?
take the gear and sell it should be worth more as the old materia
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?
lvl80 gear doesn't use poetics
we only get 80 poetics gear at the next expansion or shortly before
is the level 70 poetic gear better than what you're wearing?
gear should sell probably for more, I would take the gear but don't know your marked board
does a player get a penalty if they're kicked from a duty
No
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
I don't think you can buy lvl 70 poetic gear until you finish SB MSQ anyway
unlocks after 4.0 base stormblood
ty^^
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
You can get i380 crafted HQ and upgrade it to i390 it just might be a bit pricey
guys item dropps will be auto looted or ?
dropps from monsters
yes
autoloot?
yes
The default keybind is Home I think to toggle first person, if that's what you mean
Not sure about controller
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.
Where to buy lvl 70 gear? Can this also with gil or only with sprcial currency?
Market board with gil, or Rhalgr's Reach with poetics if SB 4.0 MSQ is finished
4.0 but yeah
Oh yea >_<
do people care about where the item is being sold at on the mb
Not anymore
so i should just move all my retainers to the lowest tax city then
Yes
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
