i got 19 chocobo training sessions available, how should i use them?
what is pedigree level?
polar hound
the merchant near your quest giver usually. your starting gear is ilvl 5, you only need to buy a hat and something else i think.
but also gridania should have the gear as well for low levels yeah
polar hound
Disciple of War / Magic are generalized. War consists of melees/physical ranged dps etc
Magic consists of your healers/casters
leaden ginkgo
ahh okay right
polar hound
you'd want disciple of war stuff for archer/bard as they're physical ranged dps
open coral
Specifically you want DoW gear with Dexterity on it as a stat if you can.
polar hound
^^ up til level 50 ? it's mostly generalized DoW/DoM but after that you'll start seeing "of aiming" "of fending" etc
leaden ginkgo
ok will get them ty
open coral
Yeah, at level 50 with the Ironworks gear it starts segmenting off into role-specific gear.
ARC/BRD uses Aiming gear at that point.
random wren
Aiming overlaps with Scouting in terms of accessories.

yes

the regular duty/high-end duty selection is redundant now?
strange coral
High end duty is where the raid finder stuff is now. Current content EX and Savage duties

You haven't unlocked the duties that appear in it I guess

The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)?
empty umbra
Maybe a silly question. If I made a character on a preferred server and it's no longer preferred. Do I lose that road to 70 buff, or do I keep it until I have everything at 70?
strange coral
I'm not sure about The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate). I never unlocked it myself, but I don't see anything saying it's been moved from raid finder to duty finder.
frosty badger
what is even raid finder stuff?
raven sage
High end content
@empty umbra You keep it until your 90 days are up unless that happened before the server became not preferred
frosty badger
how do i access it?

Ah perfect. Thanks a lot!

what is considered high-end other than The Epic of Alexander (Ultimate)?

High end duty is where the raid finder stuff is now. Current content EX and Savage duties

how many ultimates are there?

EX Trials is another name for high-end trials?

EX trials is the common name for the extreme version of trials
High-end duties includes savage, while "high-end trials" is just the latest EX

how do you bind an ability lets say "the blackest night" to a button on the side of your mouse?

Depends on how the mouse buttons are setup. On mine the game reads two of them just fine. For the 3rd I had to bind it to a key in the Logitech software then bind an action to that key in the game.

quick exploration gives less xp than hunting for your retainers right? if i'm online for a few hours I should send him on multiple hunting ones?

why does shadowbringer alone costs 35 dollar if the complete edition with shadowbringer costs 40 ? sry for all the questions

ahh so the complete edtion only has the starter editon included

Hey, quick question about New Game+, couldn't find an answer hopefully someone here knows. Does it include the .4 and .5 patches of Heavensward and Stormblood? I assume it does but the way its structured in "parts" seem like it ends at .3 patches (part 4).

The HW quests, after you get through all of the post-ARR stuff, gives out HQ gear rewards.
random warren
oh you mean the 50-60 stuff
twilit arch
The leveling portion of HW gives HQ white crafted gear
open coral
Yes
open coral
Same thing happens in SB though.
You start getting HQ crafted gear as soon as you're past the post-HW content.
random warren
yeah
open coral
Which quickly outstrips anything you can purchase from a vendor.
random warren
but doesnt mean you cant use the nq for the hw msq if youre feeling lazy
i mean i wouldnt
but its an option
id always go poetics
or get a friend to craft hq at least

Poetics gear is the superior option.
random warren
aye

Second is leveling rewards.
And dungeon gear.
And then, waaaaaayyy down at the bottom, is vendor trash gear.

the levelling rewards for hw are 145 though by the end

Comfy SkS?
regional_indicator_q What Skillspeed do I want?
regional_indicator_a blobwizard Read below.
-1523 for 2.38 GCD - Base comfy
-1624 for 2.37 GCD - Some breathing room for mechs and clipping
-1726 for 2.36 GCD - "Greeding Mechanics" levels of comfy
-1827 for 2.35 GCD - "I love breathing room" levels of comfy
"Comfy"?
Some fights require extra skill speed to hit that last skill before a mechanic. One example would be E3s where you can hit Path (80 gauge) right before the first downtime.
Why these Skillspeeds?
Warriors want to divide the Inner Release's cooldown (90s) as evenly as possible.
90 / 2.38 = 37.82
That makes 38 GCDs between each Inner Release cast. This way, Inner Release comes up right after we finish our 38th GCD and we can re-enter the Fell Cleave spam phase.
Going above or below from 2.38 GCD changes the timings so that we either wait for Inner Release to be back up or we delay it because we're still in the middle of our GCD.

and what's the best ways to level crafters and gatherers from 50-60
thorn yoke
I just did my first dungeon and now I don't know where to find the next main story quest
jade quartz
Best way to level crafters and gatherers are leves, GC supply and provisioning daily turn-ins, and Ishgardian restoration (currently only crafters).
When you’ve exhausted those options, you can turn to collectibles
open coral
@thorn yoke The MSQ should be right where you get out of the dungeon.
Just look for the 
jade quartz
You craft, gather something with your collectible status switched on
leaden ginkgo
Collectible is something you turn in to an NPC in any city state and is otherwise useless except for the sole purpose of turning in for Crafter/Gatherer scrips so you can buy some crafter/gatherer specific things
jade quartz
For crafters, HQ chance becomes collectibility rating
leaden ginkgo
Ye

If you left that zone for some reason, you can turn on the Main Scenario Guide, which will show you where your next checkpoint is.

For gatherers, you have a special window and collectibility increasing actions in a little minigame.

What's the upkeep for classes look like at endgame and what's a feasible number of classes you can expect to keep up to snuff? Don't want to spread myself too thin when playing semi-casual.

this is more my opinion, but personally I'd level one dps, one heal and one tank to be most versatile and 'main' one of them to progress through the MSQ

If you are doing to do hardcore raiding next patch, the current patch will give you options and means to quickly regear a new job to prep for it
For example, currently we are in 5.2 raid tier
5.3 will not add a raid their, but it will introduce ways to catch up to 5.2 BiS gearing, amongst adding other contents
Then 5.4 will add another raid tier
Endgame gearing only starts at max level
There is not a lot for you to do before
Just play what you think cool
merry crystal
For sure, part of it was trying to decide what to do.
I really appreciate the help/info
warped nest
Have fun
little swift
Just play it out and worry about it when you want to try savage or raids
Enjoy the game theres more to do than worry about gear until endgamr
merry crystal
For sure, it really is just force of habit of wanting to know what to expect and "prep" for definitely trying to take it slower after so several years of grinding for the best
little swift
Did you set up the plugins
little swift
Have you set act up to detect from your game logs
little swift
Yeah yoy nees it to be connected to your log location
Mine was in my games
Or docs cant remember

can you show me ss of the folder in act?

Which level you can have a alt?
I would like to play with a friend
Also can I start any class and do leminsa main quest story line
He will play warrior
slate arrow
level 10 you can swap your class whenever
little swift
if you want to do limsa lominsa city questline you want arcanist or marauder start
but otherwise the city questlines merge into the main scenario questline at lvl 15 MSQ
open coral
To be clear, you can only do the MSQ once per character, so you will not be able to do any of the actual MSQ quests with your friend unless you also start a new character.
You will, of course, be able to queue for dungeons with your friend in the usual fashion.
odd bobcat
6 @slate arrow what do I need to be a sumoner ?
slate arrow
Arcanist
odd bobcat
I only have the base game
How does the alt upgrade fast if it canot do the main quest? Farm mobs
Sumonner is in the base game?
I would like to start an alt and up together because he will be a warior which is my main job

How significant a jump in playstyle/difficulty is there for Ninjas from 60 to 70?

Ah okay

i imagine since theres 3 24 mans for each xpac
each raid will get one of the casts each
clever rune
Thats the only one that matters anyway 
obsidian patio
Trick Attack windows become a bit more full, but it didn’t feel too intense for me
slate arrow
@random warren actually, it technically is. Most of the gear that drops from the raid for males looks similar or is the 9S stuff
(unfortunately, females get the dress uniform from automata)
Now if you're talking a glamour version yeah no that's probably coming later or never

Hey I just rejoined the game and im in the server goblin, i come from other MMOS and such but have no friends that play this game. Anyone know where I can find a good guild in my server?
leaden ginkgo
@remote lintel not really well u get a ring that teleports u to the other person
@sand notch don’t play goblin but try asking around in cities
sand notch
well my character is there cus when i joined the game i was forced in that server

Shouting in Limsa that you're looking for one is probably your safest bet, but expect having to wade through a whole river of shit
sand notch
Yeah, are u able to change servers?

what is a good source of exp for DPS classes while in queue for duty/dailies?
at the 70-80 range

You're going to have to wade through bad FCs on all servers, I have no idea about the specific situation on goblin
You might get lucky and mesh well with your first one, or you might not

Yeah, i just wanna find a group of ppl i like u know? not like one of those huge guilds that only want numbers

But since you said you had no friends playing the game, changing server doesn't really do you any good

young yarrow
So this happened 3 times so far in the span of a month and it's having me concerned. I've been forced to change my password 3 times because "suspicious activities" and I don't know why or what that entails. Any ideas?
twilit arch
have you been logging on from a different location
young yarrow
No
slate arrow
VPN?
young yarrow
No, but I do use Exitlag because the game decides to eat packets for breakfast for some reason
onyx kiln
have they ever changed the amount of Rep you gain from the HW beast tribes? according to the ff14 wiki would it take me about 15 days of daily quests for me to reach rank 7 with the Vath but if i counted correctly, it would only take me like 5-6 days to go up in rank
strange coral
Exitlag is basically a VPN from my understanding of it
If it is, then it could be SE sees you as connecting from different locations
twilit arch
yeah, afaik exitlag is essentially a vpn so it might cause that issue
either way, using the OTP would stop it
slate arrow
anything that routes your traffic through an alternate location is a VPN
young yarrow
Could I have my account terminated if this keeps going then?
twilit arch
uhh, i don't think so?
onyx kiln
never mind my question, kinda found the answer on it
young yarrow
I'm just wondering because idk if they see jumping from location to location as "suspicious" or not
strange coral
They would., because to them it looks like other people trying to access your account.
odd bobcat
@obsidian patio what is fates and hunting logs?
strange coral
It's a common concern for online services. As well as credit cards and such.
twilit arch
mhm
delicate flare
Is anyone UK based really new to the game and wanna squad up?
young yarrow
I'm just worried if it keeps going on if they'll just say "Okay this guy's account keeps moving let's remove it"
obsidian patio
FATEs are those purple circles located in the many zones, they’re basically random events that pop up
And the hunting log is a collection of monsters to kill for bonus experience
twilit arch
they shouldn't, afaik, terminate your account for it
but you're likely going to continue having to change password unless you get 2fa
young yarrow
2fa?
wintry chasm
2-step authentication
strange coral
The forced password change should be as far as they go as you basically confirm you are the owner when you change it.
young yarrow
Oh
wintry chasm
aka one time password
twilit arch
the one time password
dusk zenith
are fates worth doing for exp?
young yarrow
Do I have to change it everytime to log in with that btw? I never touched OTP
onyx kiln
not as your main source for EXP but good as a inbetween rouletes and dungeons
wintry chasm
If you're queuing for roulettes or a dungeon or something they are nice to do while you wait @dusk zenith
Otherwise not really
clever rune
I apologise for so many questions, but when moving from the Trial to the Full Game, will i need to transfer the character i made in the trial? I vaguely remember reading that somewhere
dusk zenith
nope
strange coral
OTP gives you a second password to login with. When you login to the game you use your normal password, then check OTP for the second password, which changes automatically. It's a 6 digit number.
twilit arch
You'll have to open the app/look at your security token every time you log in, so its an additional step to logging in
dusk zenith
you dont need to do anything other than buy the game
wintry chasm
Yeah Hime it'd just automatically transfer
clever rune
Okay, thank you 👍
young yarrow
Okay. Thanks for the help

@obsidian patio when do you unlock hunting logs

I can't think of a reason why it shouldn't have let you target them
Thousand Maws isn't the second dungeon
leaden ginkgo
Thousand maws is lvl 20
wintry chasm
The second one is Tam Tara
whole wasp
Oh its tamtara. Oops.
wintry chasm
Can't think of a single reason a body would be untargetable minus distance and line of sight
thorn yoke
hm
wintry chasm
It shouldn't be targeting settings unless you really fucked with them
but maybe they did do something like they were raising themself back to the start of the dungeon?
leaden ginkgo
Well it can't be anything else unless it's something like Line of Sight

does anyone know the drop rate for shinyrus scale?

You can probably still trade it
The only thing that prevents selling on the marketboard is if there's a tag saying untradable

If you can't look it up on the marketboard you probably can't mail/trade it

what's this neo ishgardian green gear people are wearing
twilit arch
its lv 80 2s crafted gear
@wise nexus no, its always at 4am/pm eorzea time and will always be in slot 1
wise nexus
eorzea time is the time in the top right correct? and what do you mean by slot 1?
twilit arch
depends on if you've changed the clocks at all
it needs to be the time next to ET
and by slot 1, i mean when you have the gathering window open, it will be item that is gathered from the first slot
there's 8 slots total
warped nest
what's this neo ishgardian green gear people are wearing
To add on Kael's answer, these are currently the best lvl80 gears you can get on week 1

you can click on the clocks to change what's being shown

ET is 2:40 ish now

I cant afford this crafted stuff, do I just farm dungeons for the tomestones and buy the gear?
twilit arch
can also go into the config menu and change how many clocks you see
warped nest
You don't need to buy Neo Ishgard
Yeah, just do Allegory to trade for Crystalium, or do Eden normal (E5-E8) for gears
twilit arch
less than that since 1 eorzea minute is 2s RL
wise nexus
OH
warped nest
1 Eorzea day is 1 RL hour
twilit arch
70 minutes

I usually just set my game clock to Eorzea time
I can just check my phone for RL time

Lchronos, what do you mean by "just do Allegory to trade for Crystalium" ?

You do your roulettes
Then you can do Hunt train (shout around to get invite) to go around and kill A/S ranks
Take note that Allegory is capped at 450 per week.

I really have no idea what the hunt trains are
I feel like the word hunt is used everywhere but there are different kind of hunts

So I'm level 39, new player, playing monk and loving it way more than the summoner I played to 33, and of course I'm getting a bit obsessive over attack speed. Currently I have a skill speed of 256, and I only have a recast cooldown of 2.47. How much should I expect this to go down? I only have 2 greased lightnings available yet but I'm more interested in the skill speed factor.
well at 4 it's 40% increased speed and from when I was using it I remember it being below 1.90-ish

Yeah, but besides the clusters :0
I just don’t wanna spend money if I can buy them other means
warped nest
You can trade them with nuts or fairy beast tribe currency
Nuts you get from doing the daily and weekly hunt from Crystalium
leaden ginkgo
Ahh okay tysm
warped nest
These has limits though
You can only earn 3 fae fancy per day from the fairies from completing 3 beast tribe quest.
If you rank up your reputation with the Fairy clan that day and finish a quest nearby, you get to do 3 more beast tribe on the same day.
You can join hunt parties to earn allied seals
Those can be spent to trade for materia

Its been a long ass time since I've played, and I had a quick question before I resub. A friend wants to play with me, but I'd most likely be starting a new character with him. Are mounts and things account bound? I can't recall which ones, but I know I had some mounts aside from the basic chocobird mount, and even some pets. I'd like to make sure I can use them on a new character, though.

there are only a few mogstation mounts that are account wide, the rest is per character
oh and well the mounts from the collectors editions

fading stream
Is ping important in this game? Can’t you frontload skills to enable you to bypass ping limitations?
slate arrow
the game handles up to 200ms of ping reasonably well
once you get past 200 you start running into major weaving and GCD delay issues
fading stream
Will there be an advantage between a 30ms player, and like an 80-100ms player? I checked out an optimization page, and the amount of priority they place on skill speed depends on their ping. So if you have shit ping, they say to go for like 1100, if your ping is godlike, you can go to 1000. Sounds like a pretty steep advantage to me, but I’m just wondering where the threshold is
slate arrow
sadly since the servers per region are all in 1 location there's no easy way around latency in this game
the game does it's best to compensate for lag but all you can do at most is using a latency reducing VPN
fading stream
How can I check my ping?
Pretty sure I’ll be hovering between 70-120ms in west coast Canada.

They can be unsynced to be zerged down quickly but you'll still need to know mechanics since they'll still kill you

Yes it's crystal clear now
Which is usually more difficult savage raids or ex trials?

Extreme > savage >>>> ultimate

Savage is harder than extremes and ultimate is the hardest content in the game and will never be able to be unsynced

Noted, thanks!
IIRC, I couldn't register for unsync omega savage, it required me finishing it first or some PF rule
