Ok even better

#

Is there a way to know when it’s up on my server? Other than asking fc i guess

faint flare
#

Look at the skybuilder board

#

It has a bar

silent harbor
#

Yeah the board will tell you

faint flare
#

When its full a countdown begins

silent harbor
#

or there is also a ishgard discord thingy I think too (I'm not in it but heard it was a thing)

honest ocean
#

I see

#

Thanks

Does anyone know if there are jean shorts in the game?

fresh lodge

Spring Bottoms?

unreal badge
#

OK I kknow i've asked a variation of this question before but I wanna make sure I understand

#

With short queue times for tank/healer, they should be spamming dungeons closest to their level to level up, right? None of the other queues are as good?

whole wasp
#

yes, highest dungeon is the most efficient way

#

the only downside is queue times which tank/healer largely mitigate

unreal badge
#

OK

#

and do all roulettes first, then spam dungeons, right?

whole wasp
#

yup

unreal badge
#

or at some point dungeons are just better?

whole wasp
#

nah, do roulettes

#

they also help you get your poetics gear and sweet bonus exp

scarlet arrow
#

the exception to this rule are dungeons at the old 50, 60 and 70 level caps. Those give extremely low amounts of exp, so if you're at one of those levels continue spamming dungeons just below your level instead (i.e. if you're level 60, continue spamming the lvl 59 Great Gubal Library instead of level 60 Neverreap)

Is there any use for undraw on AST?

Glamour FAQ
Info

"What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?"

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests "If I Had a Glamour" in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required to unlock Glamour, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest "Color Your World". You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender and choosing "Purchase Items".

"How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?"

Glamouring is done by right clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to have a different look and choosing the option "Cast Glamour". After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest "Absolutely Glamourous", buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or by buying them from the marketboard.

jaunty crescent
#

I know of this I just don't get glamour plates

scarlet arrow
#

plates are made from items you put in your glamour dresser

jaunty crescent
#

is there any reason not to put appearance only items in there

#

like store bought outfits or lvl 1 items that are just for looks

scarlet arrow
#

not really, no

jaunty crescent
#

one more thing, when you use a glamour plate do you use prisms to apply them still?

little swift
#

Nope

#

If theyre in the dresser you dont beed more prisms

jaunty crescent
#

so there's a price to put something in the dresser?

little swift
#

Yes 1 prism per item

whole wasp
#

yea, 1 prism per item

jaunty crescent
#

ah, fair enough

#

Appreciated, thanks all of you

#

What is the difference between a trial and a 8 person raid?

#

where can one buy the crystalline twine stuff for augmentation of crystal gear?

#

from the vendor right next to him i think, third one from the left

slate arrow
#

you can't buy the augment for crystaline gear yet

#

That's next patch

leaden ginkgo
#

oo im wrong sorry

#

I saw somebody had an augmented crystal accessory, how?

slate arrow
#

in the meantime, the stuff drops from savage and you can also buy it with books from savage

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks

wintry chasm
#

Yeah savage raid depending on the fight drops different items you need to upgrade different parts of crystarium gear

faint flare
#

6s and 7s drop the upgrade items

slate arrow
#

and 8s

faint flare
#

6s drops the tomestone to buy the weapon and upgrade for accessories

#

7s is the weapon upgrade and left side upgrade (twine)

#

8 doesn't give upgrade?

#

Just drops the raw weapon, weapon and chest coffer, mount and minion

slate arrow
#

8 drops the weapon upgrade

#

I think

green grail
#

no

!faq savageloot

What floors of savage drop which items?
Info

E1S: (Belt/Earring/Necklace/Bracelet/Ring) x3
E2S: (Head/Gloves/Boots) x2 + Weapon Tomestone + Glaze
E3S: Head/Gloves/Boots + Legs + Twine + Solvent
E4S: Weapon + Chest + Random single weapon + Mount + Minion

green grail

glaze = acc, twine = gear, solvent = weapon upgrades

ebon kindle
#

So for Airships - I found I can't create a new one with Enterprise-Type stuff but can put those on an older levelled one. If I want to create a new one, can I use Bronco (Rank 1) types? Or is there something even lower than that I need to start at?

thick bolt
hearty garden
#

If it possible to get 80 points in fashion report without the culottes of crafting?

#

Kudzu*

remote sage
#

uhhh

#

tbh idk

#

On average how long does it take to get a single beast tribe to the highest rank

green grail
#

yeah definitely, that's just the easiest gold item to get @hearty garden

#

but i imagine having one of any other gold items and getting the dye points should do it

#

it varies because there's a bunch of factors like starting rank, max rank, being able to do more than 3 quests per day on ARR tribes etc but I'd guess around 2-3 weeks of dailies? @remote sage

#

though they assume 3 quests per day, when you're actually able to do 3 + 3 on rank-up days for some tribes, and do previous rank dailies for less reputation on ARR tribes etc

unreal badge
#

is there a way to see what hunts I picked up?

green grail

they're in your key items

what dungeon is good for spamming at level 70? been doing shisui so far but now it doesnt really give that good xp

slate arrow
#

doma castle

#

actually no

scarlet arrow
#

castrum abania

slate arrow
#

castrum whatever at 69

fervent island
#

is there more ways of leveling with good exp other than daily leveling roulette and leves?

#

Leves give barely any exp

slate arrow
#

and then holminster switch at 71

#

nope

fervent island
#

fuck

slate arrow
#

highest level dungoen

#

oh don't do leves for exp

scarlet arrow
#

don't do leves for combat classes

slate arrow
#

they suck hell

scarlet arrow
#

they're not worth it

fervent island
#

leveling professions is easy in this game but combat leveling sucks

#

this is wack

wintry chasm
#

Do your roulettes, highest level leveling dungeon spam, Palace of the Dead/Heaven on High, do your challenge log

#

Yadda yadda

#

Will this raise macro work for my scholar?

#

/macroicon "Resurrection"
/action "Swiftcast"
/wait 0.5
/action "Resurrection"
/p <t> has completed their spirit bond with the ground

#

Ive been having troubles with it

fervent island
#

wait

#

I forgot squadron missions existed

wintry chasm
#

No Asuna

fervent island
#

gotta check up on that

remote sage
#

What should I change

wintry chasm
#

Wait time can only be 1 second at least and has to be a whole number and secondly you really shouldn't put swiftcast in there because there are loads of times when you want to raise without it

#

And by putting both in the macro it's going to take longer than if you just pressed swiftcast and raise macro after

fervent island
#

MFW dungeon queue pops as soon as I get into an unskippable cinematic

lament wagon
#

can't you just accept the queue

fervent island
#

I'm fine now

#

but no

lament wagon
#

does it not let you if you're in an unskippable cutscene

fervent island
#

it doesn't

#

that's my point

nocturne lichen
#

Weird - I’ve had the dungeon queue dialogue pop up while I was in a cutscene before (can’t remember if it was unskippable though) and I was thrown into the dungeon

#

And when I finished I was in front of the npcs to start the cutscene again

#

For reference this was during the 30-50 DRK job quests

#

I’m pretty sure those are stoppable

#

Skippable, autocorrect

The step that requires you to watch a cutscene will only be completed after it finishes

#

I guess

green grail

i think they scale if you scale normal dialogue boxes, dunno how it works on ps4 but I know you can right click and change size of those when talking with any rando npc @magic perch

#

Which piece of jewelery is the best for dragoons?

#

Same as tanks?

green grail
#

no, slaying

#

so same as monks and samurais

wintry chasm
#

Might go by another name but yes slaying

magic perch
#

sadly right clicking the "what will you say" does nothing

hybrid hamlet
#

Alright

#

Thank you

magic perch
#

normally, i can resise other boxes

green grail
#

hmm dunno then, at least there's no time limit or anything and they don't really happen too often, so just get closer to the tv or something i guess

#

plus spoiler alert they don't actually affect anything in the story as far as i know, except for the qitari quests supposedly

wintry chasm
#

I remember they said something about there being a way in character config because a change a while back annoyed PS4 players but frankly I never understood it because I remember trying it and doing nothing

#

Hey all. This patch I've been getting a lot of random crashes

#

Any ideas for troubleshooting?

I don't think a single person is going to be able to answer that because finding distances in this game can be quite a pain @thick bolt

Has anyone gotten the ARR sightseeing spot #31? I can't get it. As in, it's like bugged for me. It doesn't appear unless I jump. But I can't do the lookout emote mid-jump.

thick bolt
#

Well no harm in asking every once in awhile

unreal badge
#

what are the key playstyle differences and strengths/weaknesses of the magic jobs?

slate arrow
#

BLM: has to plan out movement extensively ahead

faint flare
#

Smn: great dps, great mobility, brings raid buff and combat res (instant res every minute)...Most complex caster

Blm: simple rotation wise, BIG EXPLOSIONS and damage, no raid buffs or combat res and does need to know the fight more than others to know where to turret up, slightly immobile without cooldowns bur can be very mobile with cooldowns

Rdm: simplest caster, straight forward rotation/priority system...quite mobile, has raid buff, can chain res...lowest dps of casters

slate arrow
#

SMN: unga bunga press buttons

#

RDM: keep stuff balanced

unreal badge
#

how are smn complex?

twilit arch
#

@noble belfry looks like it might be broken

faint flare
#

You got alot of stuff to juggle

#

Dots, pet, aetherflow, ruin stacks, egi assaults

twilit arch
faint flare
#

And trance timings

#

Also you rapidly learn Se's pet ai is GARBAGE

faint flare
#

^

#

Literally 2min rotation

unreal badge
#

yikes

slate arrow
#

when you know the rotation it's just unga bunga press buttons

#

when you don't know the rotation there's a small leaning curve

faint flare
#

And this is before you factor in rushing trances or not

vivid bison
#

@noble belfry I think Thalaos might be bugged atm

shy kindle
slate arrow
#

Another item is currently linked to that item

#

Look through the furnishing menu

#

there might be something connected to it causing the funkiness

shy kindle
#

I didnt put anything on top of it

#

Lemme check

twilit arch
#

might be some of the other furniture that's clipping into that's causing the issue

shy kindle
#

Yeah alot is clipping into it, but it let me place it like this

#

Now it wont let me put it in my storage

#

unreal badge
#

are most acn tomes after 30 for both smn/sch or just one?

fresh lodge
#

They don't split until 50

wintry chasm
#

Kinda

#

sub level 50 dungeon green weapon drops are Summoner or Scholar specific IIRC

#

Other than that yeah at level 50 it splits off

slate arrow
#

no all books have both mind and intelligence below 50

vivid bison
#

most gear up until 50 was aetherial, so it shared stats, then at 50 the devs started deviating them

wintry chasm
slate arrow
#

ah, I see.

unreal badge
#

is there a chart somewhere that shows the exp for roulettes?

obsidian patio
#

None that I know of that aren’t super duper old and most likely outdated

#

But leveling Roulette is around 30-40% of your bar depending on your level and what dungeon you get since that influences the bonus

verbal crescent
#

my FPS is all messed up since latest windows update. any1 else had this problem?

unreal badge
#

so in a roulette the exp gained is: from the activity itself + the roulette bonus + the duty finder bonus + role in need?

#

or did I mess that up?

little walrus
#

what the hell is Descension and how does it work for the card game?

#

it makes no sense, my turn is first, my card is only card on board, but it still takes me down a point

obsidian patio
#

It makes tribe cards weaker when played

little walrus
#

tribe cards? how do i tell what it is

obsidian patio
#

They’re icons on the cards.

#

The main ‘tribes’ are primals, scions, beastmen, and I think another one.

little walrus
#

must be empire

obsidian patio
#

Oh yeah garleans

echo charm
#

Hey there, i would like to know what crystarium part should i bought first, weapon or body? I'm using Neo-Ishgardian gear

slate arrow
#

Chestpiece will always bring the biggest bonus to stats

#

After the weapon

#

However you can't get the weapon until you have 7 exchange tokens

obsidian patio
#

Or you’re clearing savage for the token

warped seal
#

chest and pants are equal main stat

slate arrow
#

Only one is obtainable a week unless you do savage in which case you have a 1/8th chance a week of getting a second one

echo charm
#

nah btm i'm still learning and getting into lv80 stuff, i'm gonna be dead weight in savage content, but if body suit better i'm gonna get it first

Not that I know of. You can look up weapons on Garlond DB and preview the model.

gamerescape has pictures of the weapons

so can just look up the job you're interested in look at the weapons for

its hempen camise and no, that look is specific to female elezen

boreal monolith
#

ohh thank you

twilit arch
#

i should clarify a bit, in that you can use hempen camise on other races

#

its just that what it looks like will be different, since its one of the few items that differs in look based on race

bleak rover
#

Yooo, what cool PLD weapons are out there that aren't swords? I saw the war pick that is offered in the wolves den, and it got me thinking about others that might exist

random warren
#

not any really

#

paladins main weapons are swords

#

each job doesnt really deviate too hard from its weapon as its the only one for its job

#

ik war has a hammer for level 78

#

but still classed as in the war axe category

twilit arch
#

the lv 78 pld weapon is a pick-axe

#

But yeah, weapons like that are pretty far and few between

#

There are those wooden sword-like weapons

thorn yoke
#

Aaaah but I need it for my job quest

wintry chasm
#

I like SAM more since it's faster and DRG's jumps lock you in a bit which I think is a bit eh. I also think DRG's gap closers are a bit more awkward to do

#

DRG has way cooler armour though

iirc that's the demimateria recipes, which you can get by trading 1x fieldcraft demimateria 1, and 1x battlecraft demimateria 1 to talan in mor dhona

sonic dew
#

I want to try FFXIV but I have no idea where to start with classes or how to pick a server.. can someone help a total boobie like me?

bitter plaza
#

what class looks interesting to you?

sonic dew
#

Heal :)

#

If it's doable on console

wintry chasm
#

Of course it is

gleaming finch
#

If I'm only planning to use the two default retainers for now, what would you recommend? Miner and Botanist? Or something else?

bitter plaza
#

if you want to start as a healer, the only healing class is conjurer

#

but arcanist can turn into scholar at level 30, which is a healer

obsidian patio
#

Unless you live somewhere where datacenter choice isn’t obvious then any preferred server on a nearby datacenter will do

jaunty crescent
#

Hey, when my friends are applying for eternal bonding it says they have no available characters? why could this be? they're both 50+

#

Do you need a certain rank?

bitter plaza
#

also keep in mind that as soon as you reach level 10 in your first class and do the class quest, you can freely swap to other classes

twilit arch
#

the mogstation seems to be having some issues with not seeing some people's characters, so they might need to wait for whatever's going on to be fixed @jaunty crescent

sonic dew
#

Oooh cool! Is there a server that's better or more active that I should pick? Or a way to find active guilds?

wintry chasm
#

Astro focuses a lot on buffing other party members, White Mage (conjurer) focuses a lot on raw reactionary healing to damage and doing DPS themself in between and Scholar has a healing pet, puts shields on people, and focuses on using charges of a move for powerful healing

#

Just pick a preferred server honestly Izabel

twilit arch
#

@gleaming finch generally recommend 1 combat and 1 gatherer, since if you're going to level crafters, having a combat retainer that can gather mob materials for you is pretty nice. that said, though, two gatherer retainers is also perfectly fine

sonic dew
#

Oh I think conjurer would be my preferred class then :)

#

Erm I mean White mage.

gleaming finch
#

@twilit arch I was figuring that there are some limited timed items that the miner/botanist could gather for me if they weren't up later on, whereas I could just farm monsters if I was bored for materials? Not sure about fishing for a retainer, although fishing is by far my highest class (even higher than combat lol)

twilit arch
#

Mob drops are pretty...tedious to farm on your own

obsidian patio
#

Miner/botanist retainers can gather everything you can

#

Fishing retainers have a much more limited selection

twilit arch
#

if you're going to gather anything by yourself, its a lot less time consuming to gather bot/min materials your self than to murder helpless sheep for their wool

gleaming finch
#

Oh, I had figured that since monsters were always around while some gathering mats were on timers, it might have been better to let the retainers get them since I would only have to worry about getting those mats once. Maybe I should get a third retainer so I can do all three...ignoring fishing again

sonic dew
#

So I want to play with a controller (currently have PC plugged in TV in my living room). Am I ok to play on my PC with a controller or is it better to play on PS4?

twilit arch
#

you're fine to play on pc with controller

#

I think you might need an extra program to help with setting up the controller for the game, not sure on ps controllers since i use an xbox one

sonic dew
#

Do I need something special or the game will recognize the controller right away?

#

Oh gotcha.

fresh lodge
#

PS4 controllers have native support

split ore
#

is it me or cant i sell skybuilders mats even after ive approved them?

You can do a max of twelve a week once you unlock another NPC

limber wing
#

I still don't understand the Free Companies. Can members help each other out with things like leveling and such? I barely see any of the other members of mine (Criterions) and I'm wondering if this Free Company is potentially dead. XP

Free Companies are the equivalent of clans or guilds in other games. They are run by players, but can also be abandoned by players

Ah. I might consider abandoning this one because there seems to be no activity. Not to mention, the HQ seems to be based in a place in the stormblood expansion which I'm FAR from reaching currently XP

warped nest
#

Then you need 3 similar macro to open/close these hotbar

#

The basic structure is (forgot syntax so this is in text)

Toggle hotbar 7
Turn off 8
Turn off 9
limber wing
#

@steep heron I didn't know that

warped nest
#

This macro will turn on/off 7

#

Adjust the numbering for the macro to achieve a simple menu

#

For 8, you would do off 7, toggle 8, off 9

#

Etc etc

#

These toggle macros would need to be placed on a 4th hotbar, this will be your main menu

#

You can take this further and make submenu, but the command is a tad more complex

#

That's the basic of setting up a collapse menu with hotbar and macros

Hi I bought an item of the market board for my lv 45 armorer class quest and the item was put into my armory chest instead of my inventory can I not turn it in for the quest anymore? if so why did it put it into my armoury chest instead of my inventory I have bought other items for levequest turn in's before

unreal badge
#

what the hell does the faerie meter do for SCH in pvp?

wintry chasm
#

@shadow copper You can still turn it in, and you can adjust where equipment goes when you buy it in the settings. By default equipment you buy goes into your armoury chest

When is SHB going on sale again

wait

#

what the fuck is a centurio hunt seal?

wintry chasm
#

It's the Heavensward/Stormblood hunt currency

#

ARR = allied seals
HW/SB = Centurio seals (or marks I forget what exactly they are word for word)
ShB = ....nut sacks

unreal badge
#

lolol

bitter plaza
#

if you collect 3200 nutsacks you can buy a neat mount

#

if you want to get into hunts this is a very good time, the hunt community is booming ever since the new patch

unreal badge
#

120 for one piece of the armor?

#

why isn't the level 60 stuff available at the salvager like the others?

obsidian patio
#

The level 60 set was originally tomestone gear

unreal badge
#

4 seals for level 2 marks

#

30 of those just to get one piece of armor? damn

wintry chasm
#

(This is why you get the weekly B rank mark and kill it and any A or S ranks you find)

obsidian patio
#

You can get a decent amount in a day from the dailies if you do both HW and SB hunts

wintry chasm
#

Those are the big hunt currency makers

#

Also what Wynne said

obsidian patio
#

I think it’s like 200 Centurio a day if you do all 6 daily bills

#

oh I forgot about SB shares the same currency

#

ok

mog station is saying i have no available characters?

I think there's currently issues not sure

magic vapor
#

Can you make any outfit or clothes an glimmer even if it doesn't fit your class?

wintry chasm
#

Your class has to be able to wear it

#

and it has to fit your gender and whatnot

magic vapor
#

Okay then

wind skiff
#

I think it needs to be level appropriate too right?

#

So level 1 can't be glammed to look like level 80 or am I wronh

magic vapor
#

Wait, even if you brought the ones that doesn't fit your class but glimmered that onto the curremt armor you are to able to wear?

#

Yeah that makes sense

#

But Im talking more like glimmer an exclusive class piece onto an outfit you can wear

grizzled mist
#

Yeah, the glamour's level has to be lower than equipped level

#

Not sure what you mean on that last point @magic vapor, but it has to fit your job, yeah

Can blue mages enter the level 60 map dungeons?

Is it possible to make the status info in the HUD to align to the right? (I'd even be fine with some sort of makeshift method)

mellow wagon
#

will there be some kind of item bank where i can keep all my unused stuff

#

or is there already one and i just havent noticed

wintry chasm
#

retainers are your main bank

#

You can get them by talking to a retainer vocate in a city if you aren't on the free trial and have gotten far enough in the main story that you have ||joined the scions|| which is super early

mellow wagon
#

i dont understand retainers yet

#

they mention about restrictions

wintry chasm
#

You can get a small extra inventory called the chocobo saddlebag by doing a level 30 sidequest that lets your chocobo fight with you in battle in Bentbranch Meadows

mellow wagon
#

i dont think i even have chocobos

obsidian patio
#

You can unlock the chocobo from a sidequest at your grand company

mellow wagon
#

oh i havent done those

wintry chasm
#

once you actually get that far in the main story to join one

mellow wagon
#

people just say to do the main quest

wintry chasm
#

That's not entirely wrong

#

not entirely right

#

You should do the main story but you should also do the bluequest

#

Since bluequest actually unlock content

#

Very helpful content

mellow wagon
#

yea i did some of those too

spring river
#

ohh thats good to know ! sorry i'm a noob too

#

I was wondering if there's anyway to hide the quests I've accepted

#

seems like I've accepted too many quests and now my screen is filled with them

mellow wagon
#

in the journal there should be a small box inside the quests title

obsidian patio
#

You can pin/hide quests in the journal menu

mellow wagon
#

click it to 🚫

spring river
#

oh wow !

#

I'm a dumb dumb thank you so much ahhaha

mellow wagon
#

where can i start this grand company quests

proud willow
#

each Grand Company has a HQ in its respective city

#

Ul'dah's and Gridania's are closest to the main aetheryte, Limsa's is closest to the Aftcastle aetheryte

wintry chasm
#

You have to do main story to join a grand company

#

Sooo

#

It sounds like that's what you have to do

When looking at BIS stuff compared to 490 gear u get from Allegory, how big of a gap is it for a guy who doesnt do much raids and just Roulette Dungeons and Raids?

2nd part of this question is how do i bridge this gap without doing hardcore raids?

junior yacht
#

if you don't do Savage raiding, 490 is as good as you can get

for non-Savage purposes, it's more than good enough

Everyone has such lovely clothes. How does one acquire them?

wintry chasm
#

Depends on the clothes....

obsidian patio
#

Most of the tradeable stuff is crafted.

#

@covert parrot I definitely recommend getting the weapon at minimum for the biggest boost. After that maybe just buy more ironworks stuff whenever you’re about to hit the cap for poetics

covert isle

Thanks!

Fellowships are guilds?

obsidian patio

More like message boards.

Free companies are the player guilds of the game.

mellow wagon

so this battlechocobo

#

do they work as mounts other than fighting

whole wasp
#

Yea. You can mount them out of combat

#

And the timer will pause

#

Either use the whistle or right click your chocobro and select mount

mellow wagon
#

but does that make my movespeed higher

#

also i dont know where the whistle is

#

my inventory is cluttered

obsidian patio

/isearch “chocobo”

whole wasp

Check your mount guide too

Mounted will be faster than just sprinting. And there are unlocks that makes them even faster.

If you already have a chocobro. You can summon them from there.

Im kinda stuck with my grand company, i have 25/25k seals and I cant buy promotions anymore, they say I gotta do like a hunt or something but when I go to the hunting board it says I cant do them, do I have to unlock hunts somehow or?

#

That would be your hunting log

#

Which is not the same thing

#

and you can find that in your log section

#

You just need to select your grand company section in it and kill the thingies

I've noticed that a lot of people have different AFK stances than the default few you can cycle through, are the stances race based or can you receive more later down the line?

whole wasp

they are race based and you have them all when you create a character

#

you can change poses with the command /cpose

#

this includes sitting animations and i think mount animations too

wintry chasm

Not mount animations

Damn thats a shame

leaden ginkgo
#

So weird wonder

#

What methods to leveling exist

#

That are not group based

#

For context:
I am a night shift who has rest days, but stays awake during the dead hours and i unno what to do

whole wasp
#

group content are usually pretty short. 20 minutes for so for a dungeon

oak ice
#

FATEs, beast tribes, leves, solo potd/hoh (not recommended)

whole wasp
#

you can also try playing a character in another region that is active when you are active

leaden ginkgo
#

I am already 60+ in all Jobs

oak ice
#

You can most definitely do group content as a night shifter, lots of people have jank sleep schedules

leaden ginkgo
#

actually better wonder

#

i remember once hearing that PotD like

#

You hit floor 50

#

And thats the farm period

steep heron
#

its an MMO
Youll always find neets

leaden ginkgo
#

Does HoH have that too

bronze sorrel
#

Hoh is 21-30 iirc

HoH has 21-30

before i get into XP zone

are red mages melee/ranged hybrids?

obsidian patio
#

kinda but not really.

#

They generate White and Black mana from their spells, which is spent on powered-up melee moves

manic oasis
#

heard red mage can be a semi-healer ?

obsidian patio
#

No.

#

They can heal in a pinch if needed, but should never be relied upon for continuous healing.

#

You mainly use VerCure to set up a Dualcast proc during downtime when you can't target anything.

#

do you lose vitataed aether crystals when you leave pagos? just to be syre

obsidian patio

Nope

#

the bar stays the same

#

ah thankee

obsidian patio
#

though, you do lose out on crystal progress past the 9th(maybe 10th) bar when turning them, so try to convert them before that

tribal wave
#

yeah that's the problem haha I'm still like halfway through lv27 and I have 3 crystals atm

#

do you think I'll get to lv30 before I hit cap

obsidian patio
#

depends on how active the FATE train is for the areas you can easily visit

#

and how much you rely on challenge log

tribal wave
#

at this point i'm just grinding mobs around the hut? if that's what you meant

#

the lowest level aetheryte to be specific

obsidian patio
#

With the 150% echo buff you should be able to easily solo stuff one or maybe two levels above you

Eureka Potions will help a lot

is there a webstie that lets you test if you can craft a certain item?

It's automatic upon entering eureka

kk, thanks. new to using macros and wasn't sure

dawn mountain
#

I just saw a video about glowy cool weapons from palace of the dead, are they a pain to get?

obsidian patio
#

It takes a bit to get to the floors that most people grind (51-60), but besides that it's not too challenging.

#

You just have to open up lots of Silver chests and turn in your aetherpool points into grips to exchange for the Padjali weapons

dawn mountain
#

is it a regular duty that you just queue up for?

obsidian patio
#

Though if you want the Kinna (red glowy weapons) you'll need to beat floor 100 which can take some time if you're doing it matched

#

kinda, yeah. the place to queue into it is in Quarrymill in South Shroud

Deep Dungeon Info
Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.

For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.

dawn mountain
#

sounds like a fun thing, gonna try it

dusk zenith
#

how do i use precise touch in a macro

#

since the quality of the item is kind of random

obsidian patio
#

You write the macro somewhat like this

/ac insert action here <wait.3>
/ac "Precise Touch" 
/ac insert action here <wait.3>

Precise touch doesn't have a wait attached to it so if it doesn't happen, you aren't wasting 3 seconds of nothingness

dusk zenith
#

i see

#

thanks! :)

obsidian patio
#

Though this does bloat up macro length by a fair amount

#

And generally you want your macros to always hit 100% HQ outside of unlucky poors unless you're making your macros to avoid those

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.

There's no trap or horrible jobs

You generally only want to avoid duplicate jobs if LB is needed to make things much smoother

hello do mounts on mog station have different mov speeds

random warren

only the SDS fenrir

it comes with level 1 upgrades

however its ground speed only

the stars you see for mount speed ingame are all ground only

as flyings already fairly quick

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

I dont see demicrystals

Are you looking in the Others choice from Hismena in Idyllshire?

oh

has to be from her

mb

#

thought all shops were the same

#

oh i dont think im even there yet

#

guess I stay maxed out until then

grizzled mist
#

Am I supposed to have tank stance on as an off-tank?

hot eagle
#

why not get unidentified ores/shells to trade for grade 3 thanalan/shroud soils to sell on the marketboard; 150 poetics each if u are maxed out allrdy so u dont waste them if u dont need them for gear

obsidian patio
#

@grizzled mist most of the time, no. If the main tank ever dies you can just put your stance on and then provoke the boss.

#

A few extreme/savage fights have tank-based mechanics that rely on the off-tank being #2 in aggro, but they don't appear in lower-end content

nova karma
#

where do I get thanalan and shrouids from

#

and just noticed

#

the ironworks gear is far better than the gear quests give me

obsidian patio
#

From Bertana in the Uncanny Knickknacks option

#

which is also in idyllshire

nova karma
#

oh lol not there

#

found a use for them for now though

obsidian patio
#

You don't really have good direct gil options for poetics until you get to idyllshire around level 58 in the story

nova karma
#

the ironworks gear is pretty good

#

ok ty wynne

#

so the ironworks/shire and scaevan

#

are they good placeholders

#

for better gear?

obsidian patio
#

They're pretty much the best gear for their expansion

rose night
#

Im going to ReSub in a week or so. An was wondering do I have to buy any of the other expansions? I have SB already an I originally bought ARR on disc when i first started playing.

obsidian patio
#

Ironworks for level 50, Shire for level 60, and Scaevan for level 70.

#

Shadowbringers is all you need to buy.

#

I need some help with resubbing, been trying to use my Visa card for a bit now and I keep running into the 406 error. The details on the card should be correct and I have enough funds on it, just wondering what's wrong at this point

obsidian patio
#

error 406 looks purely-payment related, either for incorrect information entered or your card being declined.

rose night
#

@obsidian patio Okay cool Thanks 😊

obsidian patio
#

I would consider sending in a support ticket or talking to your bank

nova karma
#

best for their expansion, nice, ty

#

is there any for 80?

uncut spire
#

hmm guess I'll try shooting a support ticket

obsidian patio
#

Poetics isn't used at level 80, it's for the old level caps. And we still have one more tier of gear to go in 5.4 before we have the best tomestone set for 80.

nova karma
#

best tomestone

#

are those what these poetics are called

#

its general name?

obsidian patio
#

Tomestones of Poetics is the full name for the currency, yes.

nova karma
#

oh ok ty ty

obsidian patio
#

Phantasmagoria and Allegory are the current level 80 tomestone currencies/sets

nova karma
#

ok got it, when I get to it, ill understand it more

#

so heres another question mb, with the gear I get from questline and people

#

so I just sell it or do I do other things with it

obsidian patio
#

You can turn in non-white rarity gear in at your grand company for seals if you're the rank of Sergeant Second Class.

#

There's also desynthesizing the gear into semi-random crafting materials, though that requires leveling up the appropriate crafting class and is generally not worth it in terms of the gear the story gives.

nova karma
#

ok

#

seems confusing right now 😄

#

anything worthwhile to get with company seals

#

since im just going to use poetics gear

obsidian patio
#

You can buy glamour prisms with them which can sell for a decent amount of gil

#

the higher ranks also unlock more gear/glamour, with 2nd Lieutenant unlocking The Hunt, which is a thing that lets you get old gear and minions/mounts from each expansion's version of it

#

You're also maxed out since you never applied for promotions at the grand company base at the personnel officer

nova karma
#

oh no

#

so I need to ask for a promotion ok

#

so its for galmour

obsidian patio
#

The Hunt system is still important to unlock, as the versions of them from the later expansions can be used to buy useful stuff like materia and books which can be exchanged for current tier tomestone upgrades

You can use the second save file to start from floor one. just make sure to open every silver chest you see as that increases your aetherpool level which is what you need to get to the higher floor sets.

dawn mountain

are there chests that I shouldnt open? should I only take silver ones?

obsidian patio

ehh, only bronze which generally only have potions and phoenix downs

#

with a rare chance of a potsherd which can be exchanged for materia, minions, or a mount

gold chests have pomanders which can be very helpful

hearty garden
#

So I'm trying to change the color of my chocobo, and i didn't realize that you should be feeding them all the snacks within the 6 hr time period for the change to work

slate arrow
#

you gotta start over from scratch if you fucked up

hearty garden
#

so even though I've already fed it 4-5 plums

#

at a different 6 hour period

#

i have to start back from scratch?

slate arrow
#

color calculator might be able to help you fix it but it's probably not worth the effort

hearty garden
#

so say the color I want requires 20 plums

#

I fed them 5 plums at the first 6 hour period

#

and then i realize my mistake

#

and now I've fed him 15 plums at the next 6 hr period

#

do i still need to feed him that missing 5?

rich bay
#

@hearty garden

Best to feed him an han lemon and start anew, but if you only fed it one you can just feed the other ones in the order suggested. that

frosty badger
#

how do you switch to japanese audio?

lime pagoda
#

Hey I'm new is there a certain type of armor I should use for archer?

#

Idk the difference of hand/land magic and war

stray saffron
#

hand: crafters. land: gatherers. magic: casters. war: everything else. archer is a disciple of war

hybrid hamlet
#

Archers usually go with any disciple of war gear that has dexterity as main status

#

Later on the game will have separated gear for some classes

stray saffron
#

if you have a choice between two pieces of gear, choose the one with the most dexterity

lime pagoda
#

Awesome thanks guys

stray saffron
#

yep yep! gearing is confusing in the base game. later on it will be super obvious which gear to use because it'll say "of Aiming" and the classes will say ARC BRD MCH DNC, which are all the ranged physical dps

lime pagoda
#

Oh ok

leaden ginkgo
#

Anyone else DCing or having lag today?

any good place to get some gunbreaker macros?

/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/ac "shirk" <2>
/micon "shirk"

#

replace "shirk" with "Heart of Stone" for heart of stone

rare sable
#

Almost all skills are best to not macro

#

Cause macro fires off weirdly in battle, and you might end up having to mash it multiple times to get it off (if it works at all)

sonic crane
#

Shirk and secondary HoS macro for co-tank are the only 2 macros you should use really

silent pike
#

Anything that requires you to target something other than the enemy you're trying to hit should be macroed imo

#

This is less of a problem for GNB than it is for other tanks though

fresh lodge
#

You shouldn't really macro heals

hoary storm
#

Do you get a warning for the ishgard FATE or do you need to be in the area?

You have to reach Second Lieutenant or something up there first before you can unlock Allied Hunts (and subsequent hunts for each expansion.)

Why would you choose to not equip a job soul and stick to the class?

open coral
#

New players often don't realize they're important. Some people just like to troll.

robust lodge
#

Oh, so there's actually no benefit to not using one. Presumably the only time where there's even an option around using one is with the Arcanist where I imagine you get the choice of two Souls rather than the one.

random warren
#

no

#

you literally lose out on small stat bonuses and the jobs spells

#

since they arent available for a class

#

so you wont get holy as conjurer or flare as thaumaturge etc

robust lodge
#

Strange you're even given the option to not equip it then. Thanks.

strange coral
#

The only legit reason that I know of is there is a level 30 CNJ that can't be accepted if you have the WHM stone equipped. I'm not aware of any other quests that do that though.

slate arrow

You also can't accept the scholar job quest as a summoner and vice versa
