But its partly in garudas egi 2 i guess
#questions-and-help
barren holly
and egi assaults are separate timers, right? so i should use both stacks regardless of amounts of targets
but they're GCD, actually, so
on big mobs i shouldn't use Egi 1?
faint flare
1 and 2 regen their own stacks independently
You'll be using.both assaults regardless
faint flare
2 is usually and aoe and 1 is single target attack (except garuda is also.aoe), both are used.often
barren holly
90 is pretty fucking low honestly
raw solstice
the egi assaults are good damage on their own, and at higher levels they give you stacks that let you use ruin 4
noble pollen
Who here plays on ps4?
faint flare
I do
noble pollen
Do you play dancer?
faint flare
Egi assaults are roughly on par with ruin 3
Accounting pet potency
And i play dancer now and then

at how many enemies should i be using outburst?

how i get my first mount?

well 90 pot outburst is only level 76+
barren holly
so what if i have ruin 4 proc
faint flare
R4 is.still lower than 280
raw solstice
yeah ruin 4 is 300 pot
raw solstice
yeah that's why I mentioned it earlier haha
barren holly
sorry i'm still waking up
raw solstice
mmhmm, though consideration for movement or weaving could still have you sometimes using a ruin 4 proc even at higher mob counts in that situation
but mostly yeah that's what you can go with

do I only get the cracked clusters for being an adventurer in need

what do you suggest spending GC seals on? I have all the bardings and minions and about 400 ventures or so stocked up
I stored up a ton of gear because I'm bad at inventory and now I'm unloading it all for seals
rare sable
Mmmm maybe mats if you craft?
robust jacinth
haven't tried that much yet
I just finished SB - about to start the patch MSQ stuff
been trying to focus MSQ. I saw there are manuals for crafting/gathering xp bonuses?
rare sable
Mmm
Scrip manuals are better
But gc seals are good enough for low level leveling I guess
And cordials if you plan to gather
robust jacinth
what are cordials for?

my highest DoH/DoL is lvl 19 I think so not much

Is there a list anywhere of what retainers can bring back?
I love the retainers but i know next to nothing about them

@lyric warren unfortunately not
I don't know of any sort of master list for what retainers can bring back from ventures, the list is pretty massive though, they can bring back just about whatever from quick ventures

is there extra duty for heavensward?
frigid cedar
This might be a dumb question but.. does using Twitch/Youtube as background sound while I play affect latency?
nocturne lichen
that ultimately depends on your personal internet service
i can play ffxiv with spotify going and discord on my second monitor but i'm also on fiber optic internet
and hard-wired into my house network
frigid cedar
I play on Ethernet/Wi.Fi sometimes
nocturne lichen
but if you're playing over wifi, you may notice latency issues

Ethernet keeps giving me issues when I play FFXIV so I'm forced to play with Wi-Fi

when you transfer data centers, do you lose anything?
like gil, tokens, other currency, items

yeah, you can't transfer a character from data center to data center
you have to start anew

Anyone have a 41 to 50 save in the palace of the dead ?
fallen forum
Sorry If this is asked a lot. I haven't played this game in a long time, I hit level 50 on a marauder (I think) and left before expansions came out. Do I need to buy all the expansions and game time to play? Can I buy the complete edition to upgrade my account and does that come with game time?
odd bobcat
the expansion do not come with game time

odd bobcat
@faint flare @raw solstice so i think i double weave on 200 ms are you guys sure it is impossilbe?
jaunty ledge
do you have to attune to all the aether currents in an area to be able to fly
raw solstice
I mean you can double weave regardless. You'll clip a bit at 200ms though but it's still viable
yes you need all aether currents in a zone to be able to fly in that zone, both the ones you interact with from the map, and ones from 
@desert fable raid finder isn't really a separate thing anymore, it's now just "high end duty" tab in duty finder. If you unlock any duties that are on that tab, they'll show up there, nothing more you have to do

Are old primary stat materia (i.e. Dexterity) still useful for anything, or are they vendor trash?
obsidian patio
You can still use them for transmuting into other materia at mutamix
But besides that theyāre vendor trash, yeah
sturdy mason
What's the quickest way to get Alexandrite? Fates or mysterious maps?
strange coral
Maps. They are a 100% drop rate from them iirc. Fates are random.
sturdy mason
Alright, what's the best way to get the maps? Allied seals, poetics? And should I do the daily quest?
oak ice
Buy them for 75 poetics
sturdy mason
Is it one alexandrite per map?
oak ice
5
sturdy mason
so 15 maps total for 75 alexandrites
oak ice
Ye
sturdy mason
I can't find out how to get a sphere scroll
oak ice
Hubairtin near Mutamix
sturdy mason
Ah thank you found it
So other than that, is there a strategy for which materia to meld into it? Looks like the success rate goes down the more you meld into it. Is there a cost effective way to do it?
Or just use all high end materia?
oak ice
You need to start with level 1 materia for whatever stat you decide to meld, but since stats don't matter at all at this point, just plop in the cheapest stuff you can find
obsidian patio
For best overall success rate use 4 kinds of materia
oak ice
My SMN book has piety, I believe
sturdy mason
4 kinds as in 4 distinct stats?
sturdy mason
So I have to start with rank 1, and go sequentially?
obsidian patio
Yeah, you meld 10 or 11 of a stat and then it wants the next grade of materia
sturdy mason
hmm but 4 types that means about 40 melds, it requires 75
if you do 10 or so each?
oh grade
you mean 10 rank 1, then 10 rank 2, etc?
obsidian patio
Yeah
sturdy mason
so I should just stand by the marketboard and get 10 of the cheapest thing I can find, then do those, then do 10 more?
obsidian patio
Yep, donāt forget to server hop for cheap prices if needed
sturdy mason
So wouldn't I want to do the max of 7, assuming rank 1 materia are cheaper?
Couldn't I get to 75 with less high level materia?
I guess that's assuming all 7 types of rank 1 are cheaper than rank 3 or something
sounds like it gets complicated to keep up with
obsidian patio
You can only do a max of 4 different stats
sturdy mason
it said up to 7 though? Maybe I read it wrong
obsidian patio
Hmm, might be misremembering then
If it allows more than 4 stats then go for that?
sturdy mason
obsidian patio
That sounds like 7 types to pick, but 5 different types max.
sturdy mason
oh right. So where does 4 come from?
obsidian patio
I did 4 on mine and probably didnāt bother with a 5th stat. š¤·āāļø
little swift
just make spiritbond potions and mash low level gear into fates

Should I tell you that the next step wants a bare minimum of 400k Gil? :p
obsidian patio
Spiritbond low level gear for grade 1/2 materia
For grade 1 I kill stuff in North Shroud with level 10-ish gear
Grade 2 would want level 35-ish gear. As for a good spot I think Eastern La Noscea? Thereās also Coerthas Central Highlands with the sheep north of the Aetheryte
And for grade 3 materia you can use level 45-ish gear and kill stuff at Urthās Fount in South Shroud

Eureka is a time grind of leveling up and spamming fates, it really depends on how good your instances are with people in them and how active they are.

obsidian patio
You can pay through stuff in the mogstation with your steam wallet if you use steam
oak ice
Steam locks you into steam
obsidian patio
But besides that, nothing that comes to mind
warped nest
Steam other advantage, is you get your preorder expansion key right away.
vapid cliff
except from convenience ig not
oak ice
Oh, wait, read that wrong
warped nest
If you preorder new expansion from SE, you need to wait on launch day for keys. Steam key is ready right away. That's the other small advantage

btw, is it worth buying the ornate neo-ishgardian if found on on mb?

If you are doing hardcore content, yes

Guys, I am a Conjurer and doing my class quests- I just picked up the level 5 quest and it asks me to go to North Shroud but the mobs there are all level 30+/-. Am I suppose to run through them all and hope to survive or is there a more practical method to get there?

Sounds like you're going to the wrong part of North Shroud

You should be able to go to North Shroud from near the conjurer guild
And come out the low level side

odd merlin
Ah ok
warped nest
Best gear is from tomestone or from savage raid

warped seal
the ornate is just guaranteed 5 melding slots, not worth it

so even overmeld it's not worth it?
warped nest
It is for people who has too much gil
wintry chasm
No because main stat is the most important part @vapid cliff
Overmelding sub stats doesn't do nearly as much
warped nest
Main stat (aka ilvl, item level) beats everything else
Current Savage and upgrade tomestone are always on the same ilvl
So the best gears are picked from these two series

If you have the time for it, spamming Castrum Meridianum will get you 200 poetics per run (or 300 if there's a first timer).
That's about 30-35m per run though.
You can also do something similar with Labyrinth of the Ancients for 100 per run (I think) at about 20-25m per run.

Or do hard trials from ARR and pray to have someone new to the duty

As long as you do pretty much every you see youāll get pretty much everything in terms of unlocks
Thereās also this link which has a list of content to unlock

Hey guys, if I'm level 19 in Eureka right now, how far away am I from being able to get Rose Couverte? (The WHM weapon)
slate arrow
how many anemos and eureka crystals do you have
you just need to have enough crystals to upgrade your weapon
turbid cobalt
I have maybe 200 and 50?
Oh no
:(
It was that or the Diamond Cane from SigmaV4.0S, but after 2hrs in a PF group we hadn't cleared yet so I lost patience
I was hoping Rose Couverte was earlier...
late temple
Who is easier Lancer or Rogue
warped nest
what qualifies as easy for you?
late temple
Less positionals
obsidian patio
Rogue
hybrid hamlet
two with armor crush
late temple
I mean if it's not much I'd probably still go Lancer for sexy armor
obsidian patio
Rogue technically has the same number of positional, but they do them less often
hybrid hamlet
Which one is the half
warped nest
Trick Attack
it will still go off regardless of positional
just a small potency loss
previously, you need to nail the positional
hybrid hamlet
Oh yeah that's right
warped nest
but Wynne is right
for ninja, you are basically going rear all the time until you need to do armor crush to refresh huton
while Dragoon's combo need to weave between rear/flank or flank/rear
late temple
Hmmm sounds like I'm going Rogue
hybrid hamlet
Dragoon's positionals won't feel that heavy because of their high gcd
late temple
First Melee Dps

Is there a macro I can create to:
- If I'm targeting an enemy, target the person in my party with the highest enmity or
- if I'm targeting an ally, switch to the target of that ally.
I'm trying to come up with an optimized assist-target hotkey that works in alliance raids. The main tank for the bosses there isn't always the tank in my party. But I want to assist target to our party's main tank, not the other party's.
sturdy mason
That doesn't address point #1 though
faint flare
To swap to target of target
wintry chasm
Sure it does
sturdy mason
How? The target of target may not be in my party
faint flare
1 is impossible to target the highest aggro specifically
wintry chasm
If your party member has top emnity then the enemy will be targeting them
slate arrow
in 8 man content they're always in your party
sturdy mason
I know but I specifically mentioned alliance raid
it's the only place I have this issue
oblique aurora
http://puu.sh/FqFGp/b4e14b8d72.png what is this error
wintry chasm
Oh so you did
hoary storm
You can always click the target of the boss
sturdy mason
Sorry for the confusion
slate arrow
@oblique aurora restart your PC
also sometimes it's just
FFXIV being FFXIV
this game is held together by duct tape and dreams half the time
hoary storm
tbh you shoundt even be worried about other ppl parties in alliance, healers do your job š
sturdy mason
it messes up my weaving rotation. Basically I don't have a tank to throw Benison on after Dia. And if I throw it on a non-party member, I get it instead. I'll have to find out a meaningful way to do that.
slate arrow
/ac Benison <2>
hoary storm
Can even do benison on a non party member?
sturdy mason
like in CF, during the 2nd boss, all 3 tanks in the alliance take hits
but my tank doesn't have the boss's aggro
I dia -> click tank -> benison
slate arrow
/ac benison <2>
sturdy mason
because I can't assist
slate arrow
unless you changed your party list settings <2> should almost always be your tank
sturdy mason
I guess I can try to find another hotkey for that
obsidian patio
@hoary storm nope, has to be in your party
sturdy mason
So if I fail a materia in my sphere scroll, do I also lose the alexandrite?
obsidian patio
No
sturdy mason
thank god
obsidian patio
Just the materia
sturdy mason
Wynne did you get yours already? Sounds like you did
percentage-wise how far am I?
This feels like it never ends
obsidian patio
To the end of zodiac relic?
sturdy mason
I'm not sure how it all connects together
obsidian patio
Zodiac step itself wants a lot of stuff but can be done fairly fast
Just 12 or 16 dungeons as the main grind
sturdy mason
I think there's a level 60 one, but feels separate
is the dungeon grind after the sphere scroll?
obsidian patio
Yes
sturdy mason
can it be done unsynced? What do they want, items from it?
sturdy mason
that doesn't sound too bad then. As long as it's 1 time for each
hot crane
hi I know this is not customer service here
yet if I wrote to customer service and got canned reply which is totally the same. who can I contact with?
odd bobcat
does leg graze or foot graze do demage?
mortal current
No.
mortal current
Do you mean paladin?
They have shield bash which does 110 potency and stuns.
All tanks have the low blow role action which stuns, but doesn't do any damage.
odd bobcat
@mortal current im prety sure low blow does demage
mortal current
You'd be wrong then.
odd bobcat
or it was auto atack
mortal current
That might have been it.
odd bobcat
so leg graze is useles on dungeons
@mortal current i checked it does demage https://streamable.com/i02bj
mortal current
The video is still processing, but I'm 100% sure it does not do damage.
odd bobcat
unles i auto atack the instant i do low blow
https://streamable.com/i02bj @mortal current
here
slate arrow
low blow does not deal damage
mortal current
Open your battle log and look at what did the 153 damage.
zinc orbitBOT
odd bobcat
how do i open battle log?
mortal current
slate arrow
slate arrow
this is what it looks like when you use a damaging ability
slate arrow
more or less
it's good if you have something chasing you and you're trying to kite it while waiting for the tank but for the most part it's useless
odd bobcat
noo

is HOH the way to go leveling a DPS class from 70-80?
obsidian patio
No. The experience from HoH stops scaling at 70

If you donāt want to deal with a long queue then Trusts are your main option
oak ice
Or do the pixie beast tribe quests while in queue
unreal badge
Oh the NPC dungeons?
obsidian patio
Yep
sturdy mason
So I'm on the Nexus weapon portion of the quest now. I have to gather light into the weapon. Is this the dungeon grind you talked about?
oak ice
Yep
sturdy mason
Looking at the wiki, the most light you can get from a single activity is 128. Is that random?
oak ice
42 dungeons if you have no bonus
obsidian patio
Itās the first dungeon grind
oak ice
Oh, right, nexus is arr
obsidian patio
The amount depends on the duty
sturdy mason
Do I follow this chart?
obsidian patio
Meh.
oak ice
Just spam tamtara unsynced 42 times
obsidian patio
Most people nowadays just spam Tam-Tara normal or Ifrit normal unsynced
sturdy mason
between the two which is faster?
obsidian patio
Tam-Tara takes around 3 minutes and Ifrit about 30 seconds based on load times
If you have fast loads then Ifrit
sturdy mason
I think I do? How long is "fast"?
obsidian patio
Couple seconds at most
oak ice
1-shot him
sturdy mason
ALso I'm a white mage and my DPS leaves a lot to be desired. Not sure if it matters
obsidian patio
If youāre level 80 youāll probably one or two-shot him
sturdy mason
ilvl 485
obsidian patio
He is a level 20 fight, after all
sturdy mason
oh 20 I forgot I was thinking of the level 50 one

I just realized how horrible i was at this game.
Did my first dungeon sastasha and died :(
rare sable
Now you're on the path of self improvement, grats
oak ice
That's the first step to improve
obsidian patio
Everyone starts somewhere
oak ice
I also think everyone has died in Sastasha
sturdy mason
35 seconds total. I had to do assize + dia to kill him. Assize took him to like 5%. 8 second load time
mortal nebula
Its my first mmo and I am a Dark mage level 17 and I am overwealmed with 9 spells on my bar and i know more are to come
sturdy mason
not bad this will be quick. 20 minutes or so
oak ice
You get like 16 points from him, you need 2k
rare sable
@jhlowe86 blm? Huh I think lvl 17 blm should only have.... ice transpose fire 
mortal nebula
What do you mean 16 points?
sturdy mason
It says "feeble" light, according to the table I'm looking at, that's 8 points, I need 2000 points. That doesn't seem like just 42 runs
rare sable
Whats the faq command for blm leveling again?
obsidian patio
!faq blmleveling

sturdy mason
Should I keep doing ifrit or am I missing something?
oak ice
My BLM is 80, and I have used Scathe maybe 10 times
mortal nebula
So after i run out pf mp i spam bliz after transpose?
obsidian patio
Ifrit is an alternative to dungeon grinding if you want to have a more simple grind
sturdy mason
how many points do you get from the dungeon?
rare sable
Thats blm basic yes, drain mp with fire phase, go to ice to restore mp, back to fire
obsidian patio
Dungeons are Bright or Brilliant depending if theyāre on bonus
mortal nebula
What is t3?
obsidian patio
Thunder 3
sturdy mason
2000 / 8, that's 250 ifrit runs?!
rare sable
Oh, just pay attention to your level's rotation
The rest would only give you headache.... it would make sense, in time
@voidpointer welcome to light grind :3
rare sable
Maybe they mean ifrit ex?
obsidian patio
42 runs if you did tam-Tara
sturdy mason
yeah I see that, I was just under the impression that ifrit also gave that much
sturdy mason
what about ifrit hard?
oak ice
If you have good load times he's much more light/minute
I think hm is gentle light?
16 points
quartz shale
garuda EX might be a better option i think?
sturdy mason
ifrit is 2.7 hours: 8 pts per fight, 250 fights, roughly 40 seconds per fight
oak ice
But you're very unlikely to 1-shot hm
sturdy mason
tamtam is 2.1 hours at 3 minutes per run for 42 runs. I think either way this is gonna suck lol
best get to work
oak ice
You have another set of it later on
But run one tamtara before, 3 minutes is very optimal time
sturdy mason
I just timed myself at 4 minutes as WHM
F
well thanks guys... grind is a grind
some friends say Bahamut is also good? They said twintania.
gritty turret
need 1/2 level for quest what should i do i have already done the daily duty roulette
obsidian patio
Run the highest level dungeon you have unlocked

ok thank you
odd bobcat
How do you guys use gear difference to know if the rotation is 100% optmal
spiral scroll
hey i was reading about LB bar and there it said u get continuos limit break bar from healing a tank from 10% hp
so should i do that at least once?
or is it to risky?
oak ice
"Mitigating death" generates LB
No idea if it's still used, but there was a strat where you kept people alive at low health with shields, which generated huge LB
zinc orbitBOT
oak ice
Do note it was basically never used with randoms since it's very risky
@odd bobcat lots of math
odd bobcat
@oak ice for heat gauge usage
I need to call while the gcd is ending to fit 4 gcd?
Since is 8 seconds
oak ice
You should hit 5
It's fixed to 1,5 seconds
1,5Ć5=7,5
Activate it towards the end of your gcd
odd bobcat
@oak ice im lv 35 so at my level i think it only can use 4
And does act calculate demage with buff include?
mortal nebula
Is there a kupo guide for understanding loot? Went through a dungeon and passed on a bunch of things i couldn't use and the one thing i needed, never went in my inventory
oak ice
@odd bobcat at 35 it is also fixed to 1,5 seconds, so 5 there, too
@mortal nebula check around in the options for the option to make gear go into your inventory instead of armoury
junior yacht
Crash course on loot:
You can only roll Need on Gear if it can be equipped by the Job you are currently playing as
little swift
maybe someone else who could also need it earned it
odd bobcat
Ohh i should spam the 1.5 kill
junior yacht
When you roll, you roll a 1-100 die
little swift
its 1-99 jet
junior yacht
whatever
little swift
0 is when you pass
odd bobcat
I thought it would be better to use 2 3 and the 300 potency instead @oak ice
junior yacht
stop breaking up my explanation you're making it harder to read 
anyways, whoever rolls highest gets the gear
rolling Need always beats Greed
if you rolled Need and the item isn't in your armory chest or inventory, that means you lost the roll
junior yacht
yes
it tracks party members' damage and accounts for your buffs' contributions to them
odd bobcat
And does exclude buff for the target? So i can see the raw comparision?
junior yacht
it should be able to, yes, although i'm not sure what settings you'd have to change to show it
odd bobcat
Does machinist double weave betwen the 1.5 ability?
slate arrow
you can't double weave without clipping
junior yacht
gcd's too fast, you can only do singles

Is there a separate discord to look for parties for dungeons etc

not really, most people just use duty finder or party finder for that.
If you're wanting to find a group for endgame savage content like the current tier of Eden you can try this discord. http://discord.gg/dxPgKmc

where do you upgrade the lvl 70 Rowena weapon to make it dyeable

Buy a Ryumyaku Solvent from Enna and exchange the weapon and solvent at E'bolaff
both of whom in Rhalgr's Reach

do i have to buy the complete edition or just shadowlands

question where can i find my server that i am on
because i cant find twintania
in any recruitment servers
gritty turret
does this mean i cant level anymore in the trial?
obsidian patio
for dragoon, yes.
gritty turret
dang thought it was an one week trial not two days
obsidian patio
type this into your search bar
in: recruitment-light twintania
yeah its pretty hard to find a raid group now, guess gotta wait.
fresh lodge
Trial doesn't have a time limit
obsidian patio
The trial is unlimited time
obsidian patio
And you don't need to worry about your raid group being specifically on twintania, you can have people spread across Light as your group.
Duty Finder/Party finder is Cross World and there's Cross World linkshells.
native knot
ahh okay didnt know that
i am still at the first raid labyrinth i dont think its active anyway
obsidian patio
24-man raids are casual content.
native knot
does that mean that it is less active or....
i am not much of a gamer soo excuse me haha
quartz falcon
Well Labyrinth of the Ancients is old expired content, first of all.
native knot
yeah i have like no idea what to do, should i just finish all the msq including the expensions or unlock dungeon and doing them
quartz falcon
Follow the MSQ; fill in quests as you go or get bored of MSQ.
native knot
okay, it gets pretty overwelming the amount of stuff you stil have to unlock etc
are strictly optional
native knot
i am already level 55 and i stil have not unlocked the challenge log
obsidian patio
it's a great source of weekly experience and gil for doing various things
the unlock quest for it is in Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks at the Adventurer's Guild

and 70-80 is just trusts and queues as able?
unreal badge
at level 70 can I do some of the sb 70 dungeons?
queue I mean
or are those not worth it
whole wasp
No.
50 60 70 dungeons dont give much exp
If you cant do 71 dungeon yet do a 69 dungeon.
unreal badge
even if its got that little yellow thing?
I honestly don't know what all that means
whole wasp
Yup
obsidian patio
that means the dungeon has a manual item level sync
It's on the 59/69/79 dungeons so the players at level 80 wouldn't massively overpower the duty.
Same for the early 50/60/70/80 dungeons to avoid them being overly trivialized
slate arrow
^
item level sync doesn't exist for the vast majority of level 50 content except for the two MSQ duties as far as I know
unreal badge
is it worth doing a new game + at all to do while in queue?
whole wasp
Ng+ doesnt give exp iirc
slate arrow
if you want to enjoy the story again yes
unreal badge
nbut no exp?]
obsidian patio
Correct. It's purely for experiencing the story again
unreal badge
also am I correct that it seems like BLM doesn't have any damage spells that are oGCD, but rather they have utility ?>
obsidian patio
Correct, all of their damage is on the GCD.
obsidian patio
But in terms of utility outside of their role actions, they don't have anything unless you count Manaward for a personal 30% HP shield

I think it's one of the windows you can adjust in Hud Layout? Can't remember if I ever touched mine.
unreal badge
I don't see it in the HUD layout menu
obsidian patio
You need to go to UI settings in character config to have it be tied to a fixed spot on the screen, IIRC
not sure if unticking that option reverts any change in scale.

unticking it makes it revert to 100% scale

when do i get to join a free company?
dusty jungle
Free company whenever, as long as you aren't a free trial user
Grand company (one of the three city states) is apart of msq
gritty turret
i just purchased the game but it still says i cant join a free company
little swift
have you registered the game code to your mogstation account
little swift
are you past level 25 and part of a grand company>?
gritty turret
yes
little swift
were you still logged in when you entered the game code?
did you patch in the other files
dusty jungle
Relog
little swift
you have to log off and log back in
patch in the full game files and move to the full game launcher
dusty jungle
Close the game entirely too, don't just back out to character selection
little swift
that^
gritty turret
i was logged into launcher when i entered it trying again now
obsidian patio
yeah you need to exit the launcher for the code to work
gritty turret
ok it is patching thank you
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
kupo nuts
you need them to do actions from the app
namely I think it's doing stuff with the retainers
mortal nebula
Ah okay. I wish they allowed the moog station store on there
obsidian patio
They're used to list/unlist items for sale on your retainer and buy to items from the marketboard
mortal nebula
I was browsing mounts and some are really expensive. Only level 20 so Gil is really scarce lol
gritty turret
do different mounts give different ground movement speed
slate arrow
no
obsidian patio
Only one does, but not really
slate arrow
mount speed is only upgraded via the MSQ with only one exception
last year's FanFest mount
obsidian patio
The SDS Fenrir Bike from the mogstation automatically has one-star's worth of Mount speed boost, which is typically given through story progression.
gritty turret
MSQ what level do you get the quest for mount speed increase
obsidian patio
It's spread throughout the story.
You typically get it for each zone when the story is done with it.
slate arrow
depends on the zone but generally it's the last major quest in the zone unless specified otherwise
mortal nebula
What does sds mean?
slate arrow
it's cloud's bike from FF7 and spinoffs
mortal nebula
!sds
obsidian patio
It's Cloud's bike from FFVII Advent Children
mortal nebula
Oh. Sorry for my ignorance! This is my first final fantasy game believe it or not
Closest thing I playes was chrono cross when I was like 11
slate arrow
understandable
there's actually a chrono trigger inspired(?) mount that drops from one of the level 80 raids currently
bitter plaza
it looks too much like the epoch to not be inspired by it
gritty turret
so as long as i complete the main story quest line i will have my mount speed increased eventually
obsidian patio
You're about 15 MSQ away from being able to unlock the Chocobo

pretty much. it has a lot of glamour/cosmetic stuff as rewards.
a couple of mounts and minions too, like a flying spinning turtle mount.

i downloaded the patch and everything but it still says that i cant use the free company command
slate arrow
you don't have permissions
you need to be promoted in the FC
or it might be rank locked
gritty turret
FC?
slate arrow
oh wait i'm dumb
you need to join a free company to use the free company menu
if you want to form a free company you need to go to a grand company first with 4 other people to form one
