That most likely will probably be it then.

#

cuz I know I have something like that on.

oak ice
pallid jetty
#

does anyone know if you need to complete the "soul without life" anima weapon quest as the same class you started the quest as? i havent been able to find anything online about it

#

meaning specifically can you grind out the fates as a different class

#

and if not do you need to have a relic weapon equipped

oak ice
#

I think you can only grind the crystals on a job you have the quest for

pallid jetty
#

ah alright ty

oak ice
#

The only mandatory requirement is that you must have an active "Soul Without Life" quest in order for Luminous Crystals to appear. You can choose to be on any job or use any weapon you like.

#

Seems like it's not the same as for Atmas

twilit arch
#

yeah, anima just requires you to have the quest active

#

technically, for atma you don't need to be on the job either

#

you just need to have a zenith equipped

pallid jetty
#

oh thats awesome actually ty

#

whm is hella boring to play at level 60

warped nest
#

WHM will get a few more healing tools, but DPS wise, that's pretty much it, you will upgrade your stone and aero spell, and there is a big attack at lvl 70+, but the basic rotation is the same

slender furnace
#

does the ARR MSQ skip (the cheapest one) also skips all of the quests at the end of ARR ?

obsidian patio
#

Yes it does complete the patch quests too

slender furnace
#

okay ty

#

and when is the patch deleting all these quests going out ?

forest laurel
#

early june iirc

dim ridge
#

they aren't being deleted, just changed

slender furnace
#

oh okay

forest laurel
#

they're just being shortened

#

I imagine to roughly the same amount as post-HW and post-SB

onyx kiln
#

is there some actions you can do that cancels out the survival manuals? I keep using them during the gathering duty for the isghard thing and at times i notice that it is gone

obsidian patio
#

The only thing that should be cancelling them is getting enough experience to use them up

#

If it’s the ones that give x amount of bonus experience

onyx kiln
#

oh, did not know they had such a limit

forest laurel
#

also I find it interesting that you find whm boring at lvl 60 jace

#

for me WHM is so boring at low levels

#

the amount of healing tools I have at my disposal even at 60 is so nice

Guys, I'm probably being an idiot but I can't even get the game to run.

I created my account for the free trial and started the install, but it won't allow me to log in. I click the button and nothing happens. Sometimes it won't even bring me to the login screen at all

glad pewter
#

Extremes are easier than Savages? Or the difficulty is the same?

random warren
#

easier than savage but still a bit tough

obsidian patio
#

Extreme trials are usually around the same difficulty as the first fight or two of a savage tier

#

Depends on the fight themselves though

#

Like Ruby IMO is one of the easiest extreme primals they ever added that wasn’t an expansion launch primal, like susano and Lakshmi

glad pewter
#

The only Extremes I've done so far were Ultima's Bane and Shiva back on level 50 (synced)

slender furnace
#

!faq blm

glad pewter
#

But i wanna start raiding, so maybe ill start with Ruby Ex to get used to the difficulty

#kupo-bot-spam , please

slender furnace
#

sorry forgot about that channel

#

what's the best spell to use with BLM's Sharpcast ? I'm guessing Fire ?

#

(I'm just level 54 if that helps)

raw solstice
#

sharp on thunder is slightly stronger than sharp on fire. But the best practice is to generally use sharpcast roughly on cd at the next available weaving opportunity, on whatever comes next rotationally between thunder/fire

slender furnace
#

okay, thanks !

oak ice
#

Generally, don't hold on to oGCDs for a long time just to squeeze out a bit bigger number

dawn mountain
#

is there any way to listen to the music scrolls you collect without having to be in an inn room?

#

except youtube namazuconcern

twilit arch
#

nope

#

well, going to your house/apartment

#

but listening music scrolls out in the world etc, gotta use youtube for that

unreal badge
#

any reason why i would use ruin I over II?

#

oh nvm

#

instant

left moth
#

ruin 1 (and eventually 3) uses less mp (which at lower levels doesn't matter much yet

#

r2 is good for shoot and scoot

unreal badge
#

got it now

#

didn't see the cast time diff

faint flare
#

Yeah, r2 is for weaving and dpsing on the move when you have no egi assaults

unreal badge
#

is POTD -really- the best way to level alts when dungeon queues are long?

#

it seems so slow

shrewd crescent
#

Best way to clean up your armory chest?

wintry chasm
#

Spamming floors 51-60 specifically @unreal badge

unreal badge
#

ohhhh

#

OK I'm nott here yet

#

floor 31

wintry chasm
#

Just...trash what you don't need however you want and keep what you want and put anything you want but not need now in your retainer or something @shrewd crescent

#

Depends on what you want to do

unreal badge
#

why those floors specifically?

twilit arch
#

because you can reset and start at 51-60

unreal badge
#

oh ok

twilit arch
#

also is the best for time/exp

unreal badge
#

so when I want to alevel a new class I have to start at 1 again though, right?

oak ice
#

For all non expansion jobs, yes

#

DRK, AST and MCH start at 30, SAM and RDM at 50, DNC and GNB at 60

unreal badge
#

I mean floor 1

oak ice
#

Ohhhhhhh, potd, my bad

#

You can start from 51 as soon as you've unlocked it on any class

twilit arch
#

no, once you've done floor 50, you're given the option to start at 51

!faq altlvlguide

zinc orbitBOT
unreal badge
#

yes that is where I found it

#

soooo

obsidian patio
#

Anyways, Main Scenario gives the most if you’re fine with the cutscenes

unreal badge
#

most per unit of time or per queue?

obsidian patio
#

Takes 30-40 minutes depending on if you get Castrum or Praetorium

#

Per queue

unreal badge
#

so waht gives most per min/hour

obsidian patio
#

Alliance and leveling

#

With MSQ in second

unreal badge
#

ok cool

whats the current BiS for GNB atm?

obsidian patio

would u have the ones for Paladin too? x.x

If you want more BiS/optimization stuff go to the balance discord

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
tidal current
#

thnks

unreal badge
#

UGHHHHH failed POTD run -_-

#

also is it worth spamming alliance roulette to level once at that level?

obsidian patio
#

You don’t want to run roulettes more than once a day.

#

The majority of their experience comes from the daily bonus

#

After you’ve done your roulettes you either spam POTD/HOH or the dungeons closest to your level that are 50/60/70

unreal badge
#

HOH?

obsidian patio
#

Heaven-on-High, the level 61-70 version of potd

#

where can i get gear for a level 68 weaver? If possible without buying it of the markert or with crafting scrips. Been using this guide that says that i need like 2-300 more stats compared to what i have already

obsidian patio
#

Kugane should have it in their marketplace

dire hawk
#

e1s i thought it was 1 chest 1 drop, 2 chest 3 drops. but e5s is 1 chest 2 drops, 2 chests 3 drops?

#

is it psosible to interrupt a macro?

#

during crafting

left moth
#

use a blank macro with just something like /echo

thorn yoke
#

My chocobo is level 5 and it's saying training won't do anything unless his cap is raised? I thought you only needed onions for level 10-20?

obsidian patio
#

Your chocobo can’t level up inside the stables

#

You’ll need to take it out and kill a monster for it to level up

thorn yoke
#

Ohhh

#

Thanks

stable lance
#

This patch can you no longer gather the normal skybuilders materials?

obsidian patio
#

Yep. All the phase 1 nodes have been removed

left moth
#

the materials that used to be in the source can't be obtained anymore

obsidian patio
#

You’ll have to go to the diadem to gather phase 2 materials

left moth
#

they can still be crafted if all you want is xp

stable lance
#

This hurts my soul immeasurably.... I gathered 600 of 2/3 welp that’s down the drain

#

Thanks guys I thought I was crazy and the nodes disappeared

unreal badge
#

wow I'm done with POTD for a while

#

just got to 50 and wiped to a group one-shot mechanic on the boss?

#

And no exp for a failure

raw solstice
#

for the floor 50 fight, the more that people make mistakes, the more damage the raidwide does, to a point that it eventually just kills everyone

#

it's usually not an issue but it occasionally can be, especially if dps is lower

unreal badge
#

it's kinda infuriating that there's -no- reward for a failure

#

30ish minutes down the drain

dusk raven
#

is second coil of bahamut turn 4 soloable?

covert isle
#

is there any channel to look for activity team mates?

random warren
#

of course there isnt reward for failing

#

thatd be like rewarding a driver 1st place yet they crashed out in a race

#

encouraging rewarding behaviour for failing content would just lead people to fail it for the easy way out

obsidian patio
#

@dusk raven yes, but you may need to save your cooldowns for after the mega flare to ensure you kill it fast enough

unreal badge
#

@random warren that logic is so flawed it doesn't even make sense lol

random warren
#

its really not

#

you shouldnt be rewarded for failing to achieve something

#

you should be rewarded because you did it

unreal badge
#

🙄 looks at FATES awkwardly

dusk raven
#

alright thanks!

random warren
#

if potd rewarded you for failing people would take the easy way out

unreal badge
#

You still get something

random warren
#

people dont EVER fail fates deliberately

unreal badge
#

...OK

random warren
#

some require success or gold for things such as relic

twilit arch
#

not really the place to argue about it

random warren
#

and what kael said tbh sorry

mellow wagon
#

how do you commend players when they already quit the dungeon

#

seems like others can do it

open coral
#

You can't.

mellow wagon
#

Odd

open coral
#

Under what circumstances do you think you've seen people be commed after quitting?

raven sage
#

If you're confusing the notification after you leave for the actual commendation then it doesn't tell you until you leave

open coral
#

Because unless they're getting an achievement, there's no way to know who else (if anyone) got a comm.

#

And yes, as Tessiachan says, you get alerted to any comms when you leave the instance, not before.

minor current
#

Quick question if somebody is able to answer. I’ve been reading old Reddit posts and there’s a mention on a free fantasia potion at the end of ARR msq? I’ve bought the game nov 2019 last year and completed til 5.2 as of recently, and I’ve never seen it in my inventory. Did they remove it or....did I stupidly discard it at one point?

twilit arch
#

Did you buy a main scenario quest skip potion?

random warren
#

if you already completed The Ultimate Weapon or skipped

#

then you dont get it

#

its not retroactively applied in those cases

minor current
#

Nop. I’ve never bought anything from mogstation before and I’ve diligently completed all msqs without skipping

#

Now I’m worried I might have discarded it presuming it’s discardable

silk summit
#

I started playing late Oct last year and definitely got mine from that quest.

twilit arch
#

try doing /isearch Fantasia

#

might've simply put it on a retainer or something

minor current
#

Oof just tried that and “No matches found containing “Fantasia”.”

warped nest
#

it is given away as part of the quest reward

#

if you complete the quest and you don't have it

minor current
#

I don’t suppose I could send SE a help mail or something?

warped nest
#

then chances are you discarded it by accident

twilit arch
#

you could try contacting support but not sure if they'll restore it

minor current
#

I’ll give it a go and fingers crossed. Thanks guys!

pearl wharf
#

do i have to be a dow/dom for the firmament fate?

#

or could i be a weaver/miner/etc?

dawn mountain
#

if i queue for a dungeon at the entrance by pressing the swirly thing, i get ported back to that area when i finish it right? and if i queue from the duty journal i dont?

twilit arch
#

crafter/gatherer

#

restoration is for crafting and gathering, not combat jobs

faint flare
#

You'll always be ported into the dungeon when que pops

#

Pressing the entrance button literally opens the same menu

twilit arch
#

I think they mean for when they exit the dungeon

glad pewter
#

What does it mean "2 chest clear" on raids in party finder?

pearl wharf
#

@twilit arch i meant for the fate after the thing gets full

silk summit
#

You typically get teleported to the entrance after finishing if there's some sort of story attached to it

twilit arch
#

and i believe it doesn't matter if you use the dungeon entrance or duty finder window, you'll be ported back to where ever you are when you accept the queue

#

My point still stands tho

dawn mountain
#

oh

faint flare
#

For leaving you return where you were last time

twilit arch
#

restoration, even the fate, is for crafting/gathering

faint flare
#

Unless story demands you be elsewhere

pearl wharf
#

why everybody showing off machinist/drk.other stuff messing with me than

open coral
#

What does it mean "2 chest clear" on raids in party finder?
@glad pewter A 2 chest clear means that it's a Savage run where nobody in the group has completed that particular fight for the week.

twilit arch
#

some people just like hanging around the firmament as combat jobs

silk summit
#

Anyone here happen to know how often the light bonus for the anima weapons changes? I hear it's supposed to be possible to get sturdy from brayflox hard and that which bonus you get is attached to some timer, not random.

twilit arch
#

Windows change every 2 hrs

dawn mountain
#

I was doing the shisui dungeon with the quest there, queued up, and fairly sure I went somewhere else and when i was done i got back to the outside entrence of the dungeon

silk summit
#

Is it an on the hour type thing or do we not know when the actual change occurs

hybrid hamlet
#

That happened because of the quest

twilit arch
#

It'll be on the hour

silk summit
#

Cool, thanks

jagged comet
#

how do you message people from r/ffxivrecruitment on discord if there are no mutual servers? is there a way via discord that I don't know of?

leaden ginkgo
#

what is the best way to make money in this game?

warped nest
#

craft/gather things

#

if you only needed a few mil, and you have only DoW/M, then you want to do the highest tier of Treasure Maps

#

if you needed more than a few million gils, then you want to invest in DoH/L (crafters and gatherers)

leaden ginkgo
#

idk what those are i just started game

warped nest
#

DoW/M are battle jobs

#

DoH/L are crafters and gatherers

#

Disciple of War: tanks, physical melee, physical range
Disciple of Magic: healer, mages
Disciple of Hand: 8 different crafting classes
Disciple of Land: 3 different gathering classes

leaden ginkgo
#

interesting..

warped nest
#

you can play ALL of them with 1 character

#

but it is a time sink

leaden ginkgo
#

so thats the catch

warped nest
#

and having millions of gils in this game is optional

#

you don't need ridiculous of money unless you want to do week 1 progression on the hardcore raids

leaden ginkgo
#

What's the point of a hunt train or whatever if the rewards are pretty small?

warped nest
#

or you want to buy fashion stuff

jagged comet
#

rewards are pretty big in tomes tho

faint flare
#

You go through hubts rapidly and those small rewarss adds up fast

whole wasp
#

Hunt train in ShB is a great way of getting combat materias as well as upgrade gear for tomestone equipment

#

its also super easy to cap allegory for the week

faint flare
#

Only a few hours for hunts to cap tomes

warped nest
#

Hunt Train and Savage is the only way to get the thingy for your Allegory gear upgrade for now

whole wasp
#

oh, they added in for hunts already?

warped nest
#

you can trade them with alliance raid coins in the next ish patch

silk summit
#

You can't get upgrade items for aleggory with nuts yet

warped nest
#

oh not yet?

#

my bad

whole wasp
#

ah i see, usually takes a couple of weeks after so the savage raiders can flex a little

silk summit
#

Pretty sure it won't be til 5.3

faint flare
#

Iirc they're added together, upgrades from hunts and 24man

whole wasp
#

since sacks of nuts go up to like 10K, not a bad idea to preemptively stock up too

leaden ginkgo
#

I want lots of money for house and fashion stuff

#

also i was told that crafters are only way to get glamour as well

#

I tend to like to be able to do stuff myself then to beg others for things

unreal badge
#

where can I get level 20-ish gear from vendors?

obsidian patio
#

the main city-states sell gear from 1-50

#

@leaden ginkgo best way to make money as a combat class is to run treasure maps, with Zonureskin being the main one that people run.

#

As for glamour, yes, most stuff is crafted

leaden ginkgo
#

i rather be a fashionable crafter/gatherer

#

live out my dream as a tailor of sorts

#

until i log off that is..

silk summit
#

You're gonna have to run a combat class regardless if you want to get anywhere, everything is locked behind progressing story and that needs a combat class

leaden ginkgo
#

Misery already knows that

#

but he said best way

#

not only way

#

Should I spend poetics on warriot gear again? I sold my stuff but didnt know u could gear retainer;-;

obsidian patio
#

If you aren't using it for anything else, yeah

leaden ginkgo
#

Oki n can I like

#

Let it borrow my lvl 80 stuff

#

While I switch or it

#

Not allowed

obsidian patio
#

you can, but I'd personally find that a bit cumbersome if they were a class that I played somewhat often

#

I generally just hand them old dungeon gear for the most part

#

or the previous tier of gear whenever an even patch happens

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok n final question

#

Do u think it's fast lvling crafters n gatherers? I got to lvl 50 fast but friend told it gets harder oh and are theres other crafters/gatherers harder than others?

#

Seems like cul is easy

#

For most part

#

Also ty

obsidian patio
#

Crafters can be leveled up super fast if you're willing to spend a lot of gil on leve items

#

Like, from 15-80 in an hour or two fast

leaden ginkgo
#

Wow

obsidian patio
#

It basically consists of buying leve items/paying someone to make you leve items and then you just spam leves

#

though this can easily cost into the millions depending on how low of a level you're starting at and your server's economy

leaden ginkgo
#

Which actually brings me another question

#

Lol srry

#

I only have two retainers

obsidian patio
#

It's what the channel is for 😃

leaden ginkgo
#

What are best classes to like make stuff eaise for me time wise

#

I'm always on but

#

Wnat to be as efficient

#

Ty:)

#

Easier*

obsidian patio
#

I chose to start off with a combat retainer and miner. Botanist is also an option instead of combat, though some combat materials can be annoying to get a lot of.

#

As for fishing retainer, they don't really get much useful materials and have more of their value in their retainer-unique items from the 16 hour ventures

silk summit
#

^Agreed, I started with a fishing retainer because I hate fishing and didn't understand how retainers worked, and she's been largely useless.

obsidian patio
#

The main handicap of the fishing retainers is that they only get a small selection of fish per level bracket, unlike miner/botanist who can gather everything you can.

leaden ginkgo
#

So... combat n bot maybe?^^

warped nest
#

yeah, either combat + min/bot or min + bot

bronze sorrel
#

Hi friends what's the fastest way from 60-61 on an alt class

warped nest
#

do roulette, then lvl 59 dungeon

leaden ginkgo
#

Ty u three :))

obsidian patio
#

Challenge log if you have it

bronze sorrel
#

...

#

Wow I actually forgot roulettes existed huh

warped nest
#

don't do any of the lvl 60 dungeon btw

#

lvl 59 yield more exp

bronze sorrel
#

I assume it's the same from 70-71

obsidian patio
#

yep

warped nest
#

challenge log iirc, doesn't scale after lvl .... 50?

#

so i personally won't chase after it

#

would still do it if it happens to line up

Does anyone else's ps4 pro overheat when playing ffxiv?

warped seal
#

My regular PS4 didn't overheat wearycarby

#

@leaden ginkgo are you blocking the fans of your PS4

leaden ginkgo
#

Nah it has plenty of space

#

I feel cold air coming out through the sides

warped seal
#

is it surrounded by dust? when was the last time you aired it out?

leaden ginkgo
#

I actually just got it back from repair

#

I left ffxiv on afk tho

#

Normally it tends to overheat when it's afk but when I'm actually playing it doesn't. Just trying to see if it's normal

obsidian patio
#

sometimes my PS4 gets a bit loud but I never had it overheat

leaden ginkgo
#

I wouldn't say overheat but it's pretty hot

#

It's cooling down tho

#

is there an orchestrion roll for the music that plays during hades EX phase 1

#

and the dungeon music for hullbreaker hard

obsidian patio
#

Neither of them have an orchestrion yet

#

Though if they do come out, Hades Phase 1 is "Who Brings Shadow" while Hullbreaker Hard is "Holy Consult"

leaden ginkgo
#

If it gets loud then that's because it's overheating 🤔

night pecan
#

how do trusts work? why cant I enter a higher dungeon, how do I lvl up my trust characters

obsidian patio
#

you run trust dungeons with them to level them up

slate arrow
#

you do the dungeon

#

it's about 3 runs a level

glad fog
#

What baits should I be holding onto? Just a small/medium/large for each water type? Or should I actually hold onto the lower level bait

slate arrow
#

just use the versatile lure

#

unless you're having issues catching a particular fish just use the versatile lure

leaden ginkgo
#

Guys I can't find anyone to do thok ast thok extreme with

#

Is nobody doing that dungeon anymore?

#

Hold up

twilit arch
#

if you're trying to find a group via duty finder, then yeah you're not going to find anyone. Easiest to make a party finder group to do it unsync, with something like first timer bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

Can I skip bismark and ravana for warring triad?

#

Do I need to have Master rank to buy our FC house or can I do it with Officer rank?

twilit arch
#

NA/EU doesn't do extremes or savage thru duty finder, especially not older ones that can be done unsync

#

Doesn't matter what rank you are so long as the rank has permission to buy land @leaden ginkgo

#

bismark/ravana ex aren't required for the warring triad, so yes you can skip them

leaden ginkgo
#

okok thanks

#

YES

I know this sounds cringe af, but would anyone be willing to help me with the eternal bond quest? I’ll pay for your $10 fee, i just really want this glamour lol

there's a free eternal bond

The dress is undyable for the free tier

What is the best way to find someone to marry u in the game without it being awkward? I dont have any friends in the game nor a FC

grizzled mist
#

I can see how that'd be cringe, but also, mad respect for your dedication to glamour lol

#

My guess would be some sort of public discord, so you're on the right track

#

And also, join an FC, even if only to leech off the free company actions

covert isle
#

is there any channels here that can look for treasure hunting partner or soemthing?

grizzled mist
#

Huh. Now that you mention it, this server really should have some sort of LFG channel to make friends and/or do content with

#

This one's the closest I can think of though

#

Can't find much else on the sidebar

I mean, there's the in-game Party Finder for general LFG stuff. 🤷‍♂️

grizzled mist
#

Never learned how to use it, so I forgot about it

#

I still think it wouldn't hurt to add one here though

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

So uh... Assuming everyone else is done asking their question:
Was there any reason I was put in a dungeon I hadn't completed/unlocked before? I queued for roulette yesterday, and was put in Copperbell Mines (Hard)

#

Hadn't completed/unlocked it before AFAIK. Had the first-time cutscenes and all

obsidian patio
#

You can't be put into a dungeon you don't have unlocked. ponder

#

Maybe you just unlocked it and forgot about the quest?

#

but yeah, 50/60/70 roulette can put you into duties you haven't completed

grizzled mist
#

🤔

#

Lemme look up the unlock quest and see if I remember it

obsidian patio
#

Trials/Alliance/Normal Raid work the same too IIRC

grizzled mist
#

Ah, yeah, I think I was doing random sidequests, and skimmed past the unlock notification

#

I wasn't doing any of the blue marker ones, so I assumed it wouldn't unlock anything significant

#

Thanks for the help!

manic oasis
#

is each treasure map reward going to be the same every time u use it?

leaden ginkgo
#

yo if anyone is a dps or healer and wants to casually play w 2 chill ppl on crystal dm me

proud willow
#

There are a variety of things that come from each treasure map, it's not the same reward every time

manic oasis
#

oh okay so u gotta be lucky then

proud willow
#

Yeah, there are some map drops that are rare and thus worth a lot of money

manic oasis
#

ahh i see

What would be my fastest way to unlock first lieutenant with the squadrons?

make sure you're always doing missions, trainings if you need more levels/stats

training just seems to balance out their stats so it doesn't matter though

#

are there any items I'm supposed to use that I'm not using?

obsidian patio
#

There's a training that doesn't change their stats but gives more experience

#

not really, unless you want to change the class of one of your recruits

max lvl for squadron is 60 right?

obsidian patio
#

Looks like a stylized version of the job icon to me

#

most of the time the shape of the job stone doesn't mean much if anything

blazing gulch
#

I’m referring to the icon

#

3 tipped heart? Or maybe a crown?

obsidian patio
#

the job icon itself? a stylized heart if I had to guess. Can't remember if they gave a reasoning for the exact shape.

#

I know GNB's is a crosshair with a slash through it, symbolizing the mix of gun and blade

#

Dancers clean impure hearts.

#

Hello! So my gathering is at 2178 and my perception is at 2151, I want to try and get to 2435 for bonus nodes in Diadem... can food get me there?

#

Penta melding seems so stupid for this place, it’s kind of a bummer 🙄

obsidian patio
#

food won't cover that gap

#

biggest Gathering food is Mushroom Saute and gives +76 (HQ)

leaden ginkgo
#

Rip, I was trying to meld everything how you’re supposed but it’s so expensive -...- i feel like gathering is so slow in there if you aren’t penta meld. Makes it impossible to even want to try for scoring at that point

obsidian patio
#

I recommend going only for Gathering OR Perception and GP

#

GP bonus is the biggest boost in terms of points when paired with King's Yield II

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there an actual team craft for gathering? The one in gathers is kinda useless

#

It doesn’t break down gem count or anything

hidden lotus
#

What was the name of this hairstyle from the Firmy? I don't wanna get the wrong one, considering how long it's taking me to accumulate the scrips

what level do jobs unlock?

for the base game jobs, yes

i'ma ssuming it's a quest?

How do I unlock my job?
Info

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

unreal badge
#

because I just hit 30 on acn

#

oh ok

#

so this level 30 quest leads into it

#

got it

obsidian patio
#

yep!

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a mod that hides all quest thumbnails?

#

I am really tired of these thumbnails spoiling the quest wearycarby

#

"new quest! Wonder what's going to happen... Oh never mind, thanks game for spoiling me"

warped nest
#

Probably no

leaden ginkgo
#

Surely it's an easy fix...

#

I found a texture editor, which might have the tools to replace/remove them

#

Was hoping someone worked on this before

green grail
#

it's a vague screen shot of a location/npc that you should've seen coming if you're paying attention to the story in like every case

proud grove
#

does anyone know the store/mog station well?

#

I played a trial account, and just got full version of the game

#

but the way the store worked it made me register a different name to buy the full version

#

i want to be able to xfer my trial character over

leaden ginkgo
#

@green grail not always and I would very much rather not have them at all wearycarby

sinful breach
#

@proud grove you can't transfer characters through accounts :/

proud grove
#

I believe I got it. Just had to add the code to the correct account

I'm seeing someone in ShB with a sprout... How?

you can get the sprout icon back can't you

#

there's a command you can do

obsidian patio
#

You can't get sprout back if you lost it through Story+playtime

leaden ginkgo
#

Kinda feel bad for people buying the skips. They're missing out on some good stuff and they're most certainly going to be kicked from duties a lot 😦

random warren
#

nobody kicks en masse from duties for skipping

#

dont spread fearmongering misinformation

#

especially here of all places

leaden ginkgo
#

I've seen it first hand and also reports from many people with thousands of hours on this, so don't tell me what to do pretty please 😄

twilit arch
#

its also not really a necessary comment here in this channel, because its neither answering anyone's question or really being helpful 🙂

random warren
#

nor does it have any major truth to it and quite frankly is just minakos usual shitposting about the game which can be considered fearmongering towards newbies thinking about a skip. Your shitty anecdotal evidence isn't "many".

#

anyway ill leave it at that sorry Kael

shrewd crescent
#

Anybody that knows if, when you get the premium version of the companion app

#

You can’t access your stuff if you don’t pay for that month?

random warren
#

if you stop paying

#

you lose access to the retainer

twilit arch
#

you mean the extra retainer?

random warren
#

i dont think unpaid retainers get deleted just put in a box until you resub

twilit arch
#

The retainer is frozen until you start paying for the subscription again

random warren
#

but yeah you wont be able to withdraw

#

so make sure you do before the times up

fresh lodge
#

Please refrain was passing off flimsy, anecdotal infomation as fact in the future @leaden ginkgo

shrewd crescent
#

But you also get an extra bag for your chocobo, is that locked as well then?

random warren
#

yes

#

anything premium wise

#

gets locked outta the sub

shrewd crescent
#

Is the premium version worth getting then?

twilit arch
#

ehh, i personally don't think so but that's kind of up to you to decide. if you're a hoarder, the extra 5$ a month can def be worth then

random warren
#

honestly imo

#

no

shrewd crescent
#

Ouch, don’t attack me like that

random warren
#

the app isnt very good in general imo nexel but its your money mate

#

if you just want more storage

#

you could hire 3 retainers

#

for the cost of a monthly app

obsidian patio
#

in terms of effective inventory space, buying 2 retainers is more cost effective unless you think you'll make big use out of the 2nd page of the chocobo bag

random warren
#

this

shrewd crescent
#

Ehh, I guess I was just interested by the apps premium functions.

twilit arch
#

if you're going to make use of the market listings and stuff

#

then i guess it would put a bit more value on it since the extra bag space and retainer would then be a bonus

random warren
#

tbh nexel

#

the premium functions imo arent worth

#

but as i said my opinion

#

its your money

#

if you think it is go for it

twilit arch
#

unless you're someone who is constantly updating the marketboard, i don't really see those being worth it

shrewd crescent
#

Alright

opaque pewter
#

Are there 70-80 quests for fisher?

opaque pewter
#

All right, I'm at the right place then

#

Thx

shrewd crescent
#

Another question, should I just empty my retainers of gear that I have collected?
Half of it is old gear for my highest level class.
Sure I could save it for a class that it also works on, but at this point it’s just in the way.

random warren
#

if you wanna use it for glamour down the road

#

you can always use the dresser in inns

obsidian wren
#

You can get vendor gear up to lv 50

#

So can drop anything you dont wanna use for glamour thats below 50

#

At 50, 60, 70 you can get gear using tomestones of poetics, that usually last you 5-7 levels

shrewd crescent
#

Good point, so if I throw all away, when I want to focus on another class, I can just buy new once from a vendor.

#

Right?

warped nest
#

Yeah

#

If you are reluctant to throw em all

#

Just keep gears with levels at multiple of 5

shrewd crescent
#

5, 10, 15, like that?

twilit arch
#

ye

shrewd crescent
#

Neat idea

hoary storm
obsidian patio

That's the increase from the last time it updated

You can only turn them in 10 at a time

its not letting me give anything

are you talking to the npc next to the dude who lets you enter diadem?

leaden ginkgo

yeah

again i just started this now

#

my brain is not very big

Do you have at least 10 of the item you're trying to turn in?

OOOOH

OH MY GOD

im braindead ooOOPS

In terms of pure AOE damage, which job should I choose among the 3 casters?

I'm assuming it'd be BLM...?

also oof what do i do with the approved mats? discard them??

odd bobcat
#

on msq daily rouletes

#

how do you guys timing when to get back to the game?

twilit arch
#

use them to craft the grade 2 stuff to turn in or sell them on the marketboard if you're not going to use them yourself @leaden ginkgo

odd bobcat
#

like what you guys do on cutcenes without 2 monitors

grizzled mist
green grail
#

or just play in borderless and don't put up other fullscreen stuff over it

open coral

Read a book or play a game on my Switch is my usual way to go during MSQ roulette cutscenes.

I mean, if you don't already have one, and if you only played it while doing MSQ cutscenes, sure.

i found something

it does a sound when the cutscenes end

way easier

anyone else having issues with mogstation?

to clarify, i'm trying to do a homeworld transfer but every time i've tried to it's said it's down for maintenance or not working

hm, have you tried using a different browser?

timid musk
#

i havent yet, lemme test it out

#

still not working

#

i didnt see anywhere that mogstation was under maintenance

yeah, unfortunately, i'm not sure what else to suggest beyond maybe try clearing cookies/cache for mogstation?

where do I use these

As an AST, or some other support class, should I be buffing the summoner themselves, or their pet?

anybody knows why I can't open ffxiv as an administrator?

the summoner

obsidian wren
#

the summoner

grizzled mist
#

Got it. Thanks!

twilit arch
#

any buffs they receive, the pet will receive

obsidian wren
#

what error are you getting crying?

grizzled mist
#

Oooh didn't know that. Neat!

obsidian wren
#

i dont even think you are able to buff the pets

grizzled mist
#

You can target them, so I kinda just assumed you could

obsidian wren
#

thats basially just for markers and ease of finding them

grizzled mist
#

Ah

#

I actually never tried it, since I always just buff the SMN anyway

vagrant patio
#

ok so I posted this yesterday too- I have wireless wifi, and ever since I changed from wired it says unable to download patch files- AND I JUST BOUGHT SHADOWBRINGERS!! well and I did try some things but my monthly subscription already expired and I can't try to download it again to see if it works now

#

oh don't let me forget my 1 month subscription went to waste

obsidian wren
#

could try this

#

or some of the solutions in the comments

grizzled mist
#

I imagine an error code would help too but yeah

#

And also, I wouldn't say it went to waste, unless you spent a whole 30 days troubleshooting, but that's besides the point

vagrant patio
#

well I did

#

I haven't played the game

#

my error code is 30413 25008 10009

grizzled mist
#

Sounds like you're in luck, since that's the exact title of the reddit post lol

#

Still, you should've seeked help earlier if that's the case

#

If the channel doesn't help, maybe Square Enix's Support might

#

¯_(ツ)_/¯

vagrant patio
#

wait it isn't

#

the last numbers aren't the same

onyx kiln
#

if i where to buy another retainer, would the money needed be pulled automaticly each month?

grizzled mist
#

Ah, you're right

#

🤔

#

Still worth giving the comments a shot though

twilit arch
#

the extra retainer sub gets tied to your game sub @onyx kiln

grizzled mist
onyx kiln
#

so how does that work if i use the sub that is for half a year? do they add half a years worth of payment for the retainer then?

vagrant patio
#

ok so how do I get this code

twilit arch
#

yeah

onyx kiln
#

so that be around 8.40 extra on top of the regular sub then

grizzled mist
#

@vagrant patio What do you mean get the code 🤔

jaunty crescent
#

So should I do 3 training sessions per day for fastest possible squadron xp or do I just send them away on missions?

twilit arch
#

if you're going to be on long enough to get all 3 sessions in, then yeah

#

but if you're not, then i'd just do as many training sessions as you can and send them out

grizzled mist
#

Is there anything I can use to help me pick a job easier? It'd be nice if they had some quick "job identities", since I imagine those would remain after patches

jaunty crescent
#

Alright good to know

grizzled mist
#

Things like:
WHM - High burst heals and burst damage
SCH - Heals and shields/Damage prevention
AST- Heals and support buffs

#

the internet explorer thing is weird lmao

#

there's a video in the pins that is mostly still accurate

#

gives a brief overview of the jobs (with exception to gunbreaker/dnc as the video was made before shadowbringers)

grizzled mist
#

Pre-shadowbringers? Would it still be accurate 🤔

#

That's like a whole major expansion behind, no?

green grail
#

it's kinda 50/50

twilit arch
#

Like i said, its mostly still accurate since the core of a lot of jobs didn't change with shb

green grail
#

like, sch is still the shield healer, whm raw/regen and ast has stances

#

PikaHmm any ideas when there might be a discount for ShB?

but drk doesn't work around dark arts, tank stances are gone etc

#

how long would it take me to get to first sergeant? first session of the day just started and haven't sent them on mission yet, all on 28-29

Pick a server that has a star on the side of it's name @main geode

#

really want to get it fast

When you create a character

That will give you a persistent xp buff

so i tried to buy some items of the mogshop and now i can't because the site says i have no character

echo karma
#

Um, am trying to run Royal Menagerie as DRK for MSQ (Stormblood) but no one seems to be queuing it... Is it dead or something?

onyx kiln
#

could be a bad time. not sure where you are from but maybe most players are at work/school ATM.

#

if anything try the party finder.

twilit arch
#

this is a pretty dead hour to be queueing for royal menagerie

#

its 7am CST, so most people are either asleep or getting ready for work/school

echo karma
#

Ahhh, that could be it. Am from EU but playing in NA server so I’m not too familiar with the dead/active hour.

#

Thanks though. sasara1Love

Read what I said

twilit arch
#

talk to your grand company personnel officer at your grand company headquarters

#

ask for a promotion

warped nest
#

In the beginning, you just need to ask for promotion by submitting some GC seals

inland oxide
#

how important is completing the main scenario questline? im at level 32 and the quests are like level 24 lol

warped nest
#

Main Scenario Quest gates almost everything

#

Think of this as a single player RPG (like Pokémon) with co-op dungeons

#

You can't do the next gym without doing more story

inland oxide
#

ah, ok. i'll keep trucking through it then. thanks for answering

warped nest
#

Np, good luck and have fun

jaunty crescent
#

Can I recruit a friend that started playing a week ago?

green grail
#

people who are currently on the free 30 days you get from purchasing the base game can be recruited

#

can't be recruited on free trial, and if they buy subscription and get charged after the 30 free days end they can't be recruited

#

only that 30 day window works

jaunty crescent
#

what about if you've gotten 15 more days from levelling to 50 or whichever one it is

green grail
#

should still be recruitable i think

#

as long as they never got charged for game time, or added a game time card

jaunty crescent
#

got it

odd bobcat
#

how do i get to other levels on gc like geting to captain?

twilit arch
#

1st Lieutenant and Captain require you to do squadron missions

warped nest
#

Do we have a faq on this?

twilit arch
#

Anything below that is gotten from promotions, which simply require grand company seals and for certain ranks a quest

odd bobcat
#

how to do squadron mission? is the hunt log?

warped nest
#

Once you hit a certain rank in your GC, you will be able to lead your own suqadron

#

You can recruit squadron members and send them out for training/missions

odd bobcat
#

with the officers?

warped nest
#

No

#

It is RNG NPC

odd bobcat
#

by the rank you mean the ones i buy with seal?

warped nest
#

Yes

odd bobcat
#

how important is seals beside geting glamour?

warped nest
#

Just use them

#

I think after 3-4 promotion you will be able to turn in dungeon gears for GC seals

grizzled mist
#

People usually use seals to buy Ventures (for their retainers) or Cordials (for their ~~crafters/~~gatherers)

#

So if those are important to you, then yeah

warped nest
#

Earning seals will be much easier then

odd bobcat
#

what is ventures and cordials?

grizzled mist
#

Cordials restore GP, which is basically MP for crafters and gatherers

warped nest
#

Ventures are token used to send retainers out for missions

#

Not crafters

#

Crafters run on CP, and CP is reset on a new craft

grizzled mist
#

Ah, yeah that too

#

My bad

warped nest
#

There is too much info for you shida

#

Just spend GC seals for promotion

#

You can earn it back later

grizzled mist
#

Having trouble deciding between bard and dancer. Which one is better for buffing damage?

warped nest
#

Dancer

grizzled mist
#

Most videos/guides talk about vague things such as mobility, or utility, or just general all-around buffs, so I couldn't find much there

#

Any AoE buffs? 🤔

#

AFAIK dancer only has a single target buff/dance partner

You won't even notice these buff unless you use damage meter to measure it

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.

warped nest
#

Bard: shoot different arrows
Dancer: Dance, throwing rings, throwing feathers
Machinist: fire red hot lead, shoot drills, spray bullets

hybrid hamlet
#

and the robots

strange coral
#

All bard songs provide a small dmg buff and at high levels a song should always be in effect. There's also the Battle Voice buff that increases party's DH by %20 on a cooldown.

warped nest
#

Machinist has no RNG, Bard is a lil bit of RNG, Dancer is a whole load of RNG

hybrid hamlet
#

Thing is

#

You will always be providing a buff as a bard

#

That makes up for the low values, i guess

grizzled mist
#

🤔

#

I'll think about it on my own a bit more I guess

#

Thanks for the help :)

strange coral
#

They nerfed bard dps to bring back the song buffs, a little too much for how little the buffs are 😐

Yes

they changed how the song buffs worked when they brought them back, by the way

Look at those yellow/red icons on the left

#

Those are the rank you need to reach to access those additional items

it's not just a 2% crit on each, minuet has 2% crit, paeon has 3% dh, ballad has 1% damage buff

Hi. I'm a level 77 SMN and I'm wondering what my rotation should be for questing? I've looked at endgame rotations but when pulling 1/2 mobs what would people generally do?

#

I generally tri-disaster, EA1/EA2, R3/R4 procs. Most of the time I won't ever DWT/Bahamut

green grail
#

doesn't really matter, just press your buttons and open world mobs will die

#

apply dots, get aetherflow, use fester/painflare and egi assaults

tough wolf
#

Alright. Maybe I'm just worrying over nothing then. I just feel like I'm pressing stuff cos it's off cd! Feel like I've not learnt my class yet, even at 77.

green grail
#

well if you're just going for open world mob rotations then there isn't much to learn, but spending some time on a dummy learning the proper 2 minute rotation would probably help

#

to know what you're doing in dungeons/raids/trials

tough wolf
#

It's a difficult one. Stuff just gets destroyed in MSQ roulette and alliance raids. I've not really had time to do the proper one, even though in theory I can follow the flowcharts. I'll spend some time at the dummy when I ding 80.

#

Thanks.

the first one is the full list of materials if you crafted all the intermediary materials such as the grade 1 mind dissolvent

you can view the same list in game by right clicking the doublet and selecting raw material list

They are items needed to make the materials needed to finish

you can see which items are intermediary by clicking recipe tree

you get the item in the central builing, rowanas or something, you should see 3 NPCs. the middle one is the one i think you get the item for, but after that you need to go to a seperate store slightly to the right if you leave the building from the main enterenace

Go to the specialist guy outside the astro guild in ishgard and he'll turn them into crafter soul stones...you can only have 3 of them at a time however

ancient smelt
#

ok

#

ty so much i will try now

dusky zodiac
#

Hello! I have a question when it comes to getting ff14 on ps4. If I just purchase shadowbringers, do I get all the previous expansions?

warped nest
#

Yup

#

That's how it works for all platforms

faint flare
#

Note it doesn't give you the base game

warped nest
#

Take note that Shadowbringers doesn't have base game

#

Yeah

faint flare
#

So you need starter edition and shadowbringers

warped nest
#

Complete Edition is ARR (the base game) + Shadowbringers

#

Or you can do what Vinyl said and buy Starter Edition which is ARR and then buy Shadowbringers

dusky zodiac
#

I see this thing called the "complete edition" which seems to have both

faint flare
#

Yes

dusky zodiac
#

and it's 60 on the playstation store

warped nest
#

Separated they are 20 and 40 bucks

faint flare
#

I think they're roughly the same price when compared

warped nest
#

You don't save or waste money with either purchase method afaict

dusky zodiac
#

sick

#

on that note, I've never played a traditional mmo like ff14 before, so what should I expect? I only played for about an hour or two making a dragoon on the free to play version

warped nest
#

Ummm

#

I dunno what info to give you cuz there are so many

#

What do you want to know?

#

Story? Game play?

#

Combat?

#

Dungeons/raids?

dusky zodiac
#

gameplay rather than story

#

I'll get into that when I play it

warped nest
#

FFXIV combat is tab target, so you uses skill near an enemy but you don't need to physically lands it yourself

#

Then skills are categorized as GCD and oGCD, global cooldown and off global cooldown. Global cooldown is a 2.5s timer (this can be reduce, but that's not important now), everytime it is up, you can use a skill/spell

dusky zodiac
#

One quick side note. Because i'm playing on ps4, would you advise that I use a controller? Or use a keyboard and mouse?

warped nest
#

oGCD are Ability you can use in between your skill/spell

#

The game works very well with controller

#

Aside from text typing

#

You can either get a cheap Bluetooth keyboard

leaden ginkgo
#

You can jut set up a keyboard with the ps4. Thats why i do

#

what*

warped nest
#

Or built some pre-made messages and prompt those as necessary: thank you for party, sorry about that, first time in this dungeon, etc etc

#

Or just type with controller

faint flare
#

Controller is 1000% viable for gameplay

warped nest
#

Some players even use controller on PC

faint flare
#

Typing is annoying but just plug in a usb keyboard or something

warped nest
#

Game is very well designed for controller, aside from chatting

#

Going back to combat, combat classes are played by doing rotations.

#

Rotations are the sequence / priority you press your GCD/oGCD skills

#

The actual meat of the gameplay is actually doing mechanics

dusky zodiac
#

I mainly get the gist of basic stuff. I'm more so curious about how midgame-endgame looks

warped nest
#

Some bosses might want to you bait a fire puddle to the edge of the boss room

dusky zodiac
#

Like whether there's an overabundance of one class that could affect raid wait times

warped nest
#

Some might want you to stay near with party member etc

#

Yes

#

DPS

dusky zodiac
#

oof

leaden ginkgo
#

DPS is everywhere

faint flare
#

Like any mmo

leaden ginkgo
#

But thats cause there are just so many DPS classes

dusky zodiac
#

maybe I'll be a healer and decide who lives and who doesn't xd

leaden ginkgo
#

Do it

warped nest
#

A there are more choice of DPS and B new player lean toward DPS cuz they look cool and they assume DPS has less responsibility than tank/healer

dusky zodiac
#

that's interesting, I didn't think that people would assume that there's less responsibility

#

I mean, your job is to do damage when it's necessary

warped nest
#

People were scared that they would heal poorly

faint flare
#

People are small brain most the tine

warped nest
#

Or tank poorly

#

DPS poorly in New player's mind just mean longer kill time

dusky zodiac
#

ah

warped nest
#

Which is not wrong for early contents

dusky zodiac
#

I actually don't know what class to choose tbh. There are so many and they all look pretty interesting

warped nest
#

Btw

dusky zodiac
#

except bard because bows are for casuals /s

warped nest
#

This game let you play them all on 1 character

leaden ginkgo
#

Tank/healer might be best for your fist job because you can get into parties nearly instantly

dusky zodiac
#

dark knight it is then

leaden ginkgo
#

Err

faint flare
#

Cant start ad it

warped nest
#

Do take note that expansion jobs can't be acquired right away

leaden ginkgo
#

Darknight you need to doa lot before you get the class

dusky zodiac
#

o0000f

leaden ginkgo
#

Base game, you can be a warrior or paladin for tanks

#

Then, as you level and complete more parts of the game, you can pick up darknight and gunbreaker

warped nest
#

New players can choose
Gladiator - Paladin
Marauder - Warrior

Conjurer - White Mage
Arcanist - Scholar

Arcanist - Summoner
Thaumaturge - Black Mage

Archer - Bard

Lancer - Dragoon
Pugilist - Monk
(after lvl 10) Rogue - Ninja

dusky zodiac
#

I'm surprised that you can play all classes on one character. In the other games that I played like DFO and Elsword the main gimmick was just to make alts

#

over and over

#

it was true pain

leaden ginkgo
#

I think it didnt use to be that way

warped nest
#

Yeah, XIV is slightly unconventional this way

#

Regarding expansion jobs imma use some faq now, so there will be a bit of a text wall

faint flare
#

I only know of 2 games with class swapping, this and Eden eternal

Expansion jobs doesn't have base classes

#

Base classes is a thing in ARR only

dusky zodiac
#

makes sense

leaden ginkgo
#

Stormblood and Shadowbringer classes are much easier to get then Heavenwards

dusky zodiac
#

Im assuming that race doesn't matter too much either?

leaden ginkgo
#

Just keep that inmind if you aiming for one of them

faint flare
#

Nope

#

Race means nothing

warped nest
#

Last thing I want to mention before I head out: Main story gates almost everything in this game. So you want to do your main story, don't waste time grinding level to make things easy

faint flare
#

Except looks

warped nest
#

Racial stat is there, but at endgame, you just need 1 Crit to overcome any racial disadvantages

#

So, technically yes, practically lol no

dusky zodiac
#

coolio

#

well, ima probably try to work online to get enough money to buy this stuff xd

warped nest
#

Player preferences >>>> everything else.... Except for how to play your job

dusky zodiac
#

or take risk and work at a restaurant again

warped nest
#

This is a subscription based game bte

dusky zodiac

yeah

#

so what exactly happens once it runs out?

dusky zodiac
#

Are you locked to ARR areas?

#

You can't log in

dusky zodiac
#

ah

#
