#

Ahhh

#

Gotcha

unreal badge
#

so does switching classes right before the end of a frontline allow you to get exp on the class you end it on?

remote lintel
#

can people from another world not go to the firmament

obsidian patio
#

correct. The firmament is only for people native to that server

remote lintel
#

:(

obsidian patio
#

Originally you could have people from other worlds help but it resulted in the server's home people not being able to participate in the FATE if they didn't camp out the area beforehand.

rugged flicker
#

Why are there two different rabbit body suits?

raven sage
#

Because they made 2 designs

rose eagle
#

yeah

#

one is normal the other is posh

drowsy nova
#

for the purposes of constructing airships and subs is there an actual need for HQ contributions?

#

or do you just need more of the item if it's NQ?

obsidian patio
#

it can save materials if you turn in HQ stuff, but it always felt pretty random in whether you got materials back regardless if you used NQ or HQ

drowsy nova
#

@unreal badge no, you get frontlines XP based on what you queued as, changing classes doesn't affect it

#

so I don't need to manually craft 30 HQ whatevers and I can just quick synth 30 of them?

obsidian patio
#

yep

drowsy nova
#

nice

Can Rock Salt be purchased in the housing districts? Teamcraft says it's from "Material supplier". But when I check the one in Goblet (outside of houses) and the NPC inside house, neither have it

severe night
#

I got to level 15 and trying to switch to rogue. where is that rogue guild?

proud willow
#

It's in Limsa Lominsa

slate arrow
#

@sturdy mason double check the inside house vendor

proud willow
#

If you didn't start in that city, you won't be able to reach it until you hit the level 15 Main Story Quest that takes you there

slate arrow
#

It's either under the alc regents or cooking materials

sturdy mason
lapis star
#

i found the guide very confusing, is there some sort of pick of the string of moves that i can just copy? x.x (for monk rotation)

obsidian patio
#

yeah the resupply node should have the salt.

sturdy mason
#

I see it now. Weird it isn't under cooking ingredients

obsidian patio
#

@lapis star Pages 11-13 of the beginner guide have your rotation and info about it

thorn holly
#

anyone had this? tried both chrome and firefox

obsidian patio
#

I'd just keep waiting since you sent the tickets in. :\

lapis star
#

so that is the rotation?

obsidian patio
#

yeah

#

once you have 4 GL stacks

lapis star
#

so its like, line 1 then line 2 then line 3?

obsidian patio
#

yep

lapis star
#

what happeend to using dragon kick for the leader buff and then bootshine tho?

oak ice
#

Dragonkick is there

lapis star
#

yeah but bootshine doesn't come after it?

obsidian patio
#

you don't need to do it right away.

oak ice
#

You get the leaden buff for 30 seconds

lapis star
#

oh it doesn't need to always be the next move?

#

ohhhhhhhhhhhhhhh

obsidian patio
#

Also you lose out on the stance bonus if you do DK > Boot

lapis star
#

xD

obsidian patio
#

!action Bootshine

oak ice
zinc orbitBOT
#
**Bootshine** : lvl 1 PGL MNK (2.5 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 150. Leaden Fist Potency: 300 Opo-opo Form Bonus: Critical damage if dealt from a target's rear
Additional Effect: Changes form to raptor
Duration: 15s

lapis star
#

okay thank you, im dumb and all this info just makes me lost, i feel like if i just get a string of moves and try to memorize them, thats the best ill get personally xD

#

so is it worth using any other moves? like the ones procced by chakra? since they aren't included in that pic of moves

obsidian patio
#

That's only the GCD rotation

rugged flicker
#

how many eggs are needed for all the current prizes?

obsidian patio
#

you still use the rest of your toolkit

rare sable
#

10 is enough for 1 plush + 1 poster

#

So 1 fate

lapis star
#

do i just use them off cooldown?

rugged flicker
#

I got 10 from the one fate, So I need one more, gotta do another.

#

OH

#

Nevermind I misread.

obsidian patio
#

for the most part, yeah.

lapis star
#

alright ill just do my best then cx tyvm~

ember iris
#

i saw on the lodestone that u could purchase items from previous easter events but the vendor doesnt seem to have them. am i missing something?

oak ice
#

Mogstation

ember iris
#

so i can only get them thru the mogstation?

oak ice
#

That says Egg Advocate, not mogstation

stable rock
#

??

sinful breach
#

it says certain items tho, the glam from last event should be on mogstation

ember iris
#

right. i have nothing from the egg advocate from previous events

#

thats why i was asking

dusty jungle
#

whenever there is a new seasonal event

#

the previous year's event rewards go up on the mogstation

#

current rewards are obtainable for the event duration

shrewd relic
#

will we be able to get the flying car mount any time soon

#

i need it

#

i must have it

#

the collaboration event

sinful breach
#

not sure is se is doing it again :/

shrewd relic
#

oh no

#

😦

#

but i need it 😒

slate arrow
#

no collab events usually repeat a few times before they get shunted to mogstation

#

see: ff13

oak ice
#

While we can never know for certain, they might if ffxv gets something that needs to be promoted again

@stable rock that means that person is displaying the gear on a Mannequin in their house

stable rock
#

Ohh okay

leaden ginkgo
#

Between WAR and DRK, which do you all prefer more and why?

rare sable
#

War, cus I like simple class

leaden ginkgo
#

Does DRK have a lot less DPS and utilities?

obsidian patio
#

I like both pretty equally, but WAR for the 10/10 sounds of Fell Cleave

#

nah, tanks are super balanced

#

like a 4-5% damage difference between GNB and DRK, who are the highest and lowest damage tanks

rare sable
#

Drk is.... basically war but with more ogcd/resources to pay attention to

warped nest
#

You can pick based on aesthetic

#

No kidding

leaden ginkgo
#

I know this sounds superficial but I want to switch to DRK because i can equip a bewtiful helmet, WAr is lacking in my glamour mission

warped nest
#

That's fair

rare sable
#

Glam is a totally valid reason to play a class

#

I raised 4 lvl 80 that I cant play, just because they look good in their glam x'D

#

Plus drk questline is β™‘

leaden ginkgo
#

How do you get Shiosai's hairstyle?

obsidian patio
#

Looks like one of the default Au Ra hairstyles to me. Can't currently log in to double check

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok. If you can, tag me if you can confirm this

winter hill
#

for some reason, my game is acting really weird

#

its running in a resolution that is not what my computer is

#

is there any fix for this?

sinful breach
#

adjust the resolution back to normal from the game settings?

winter hill
#

it isnt working

#

onyl thing i can do rn is run it at full screen

#

but when i run it as windowed full screen, it gives me a different resulotion

sinful breach
#

yeah you need to adjust it again on windowed fullscreen

winter hill
#

it doesnt let me

#

how do i do that o.o?

#

like the L W box is blacked out

#

sorry, these are such stupid questions

barren sage
#

what do you guys do with your old gear? Im maxed out on GC seals and donations to the doman enclave

sinful breach
#

that's odd πŸ€” make sure your gpu's software isn't playing tricks on you or try manually adjusting it from the game files? or try windowed mode and adjust it from there?

obsidian patio
#

I generally default to GC seals. Can you use them for promotions? If not then spend them on stuff like glamour prisms to sell for gil

barren sage
#

im maxed out for promotions

sinful breach
#

also desynthing is an option if you can't use a gc sink, like buying a shitton of ventures or coke and sell it on the mb

barren sage
#

I was desynthing a lot of stuff but I was getting mostly junk

#

I might do the glamour prisms, I didn't realise I could buy them with seals

#

thanks everyone for the suggestions

leaden ginkgo
#

Been meaning to look into getting a tank mount. Can a tank solo garuda ex in any reasonable amount of time or is a party still preferred?

obsidian patio
#

if you're 70 or higher then soloing garuda extreme will be a breeze

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah but even back in SB you'd want a party to skip her lengthy phase transitions + her add phase

obsidian patio
#

As long as you kill the Satin ASAP and burst down Chirada when they spawn it's super easy

leaden ginkgo
#

Noted

normal mesa
#

where i find the eden core?

obsidian patio
#

around x29, y32 of Amh Araeng to go to The Empty, and then interact with the mini-aetheryte

normal mesa
#

thanks!

lethal bane
#

So, my father who is a very old player of FFXI as well as FFXIV (When it first came out) Wanted to start playing again on a new character with me. With that being said he just downloaded the game today and im currently in Famfrit apart of the world Primal. And it automatically put him in Aether with out him choosing that, he hasnt chosen a server on Aether yet, because there's really no point in him playing the game again if he cant play with me, so what can he do if anything?

slate arrow
#

just make a new character if he just started

mortal nebula
#

Am I getting to far ahead my MSQ? this area feels like you need a chocobo to do it in a decent time. I just have ocd and im literally taking every main and cross side quest I see

slate arrow
#

you change datacenters in the main menu

#

you can't get ahead of the MSQ

mortal nebula
#

@slate arrow im on the chocobo quest but I ended up in some random area doing quest instead of finishing chocob quest and feel like the chocobo would help my time in the area

slate arrow
#

oh yeah a chocobo would help

#

anything to decrease overworld traversal time helps massively

lethal bane
#

So all he needs to do is just make a new account again?

slate arrow
#

no

#

i'm not sure about trial restrictions but you can probably make up to 8 characters so he can just delete the old one and make a new one on a primal server

#

(or just leave that one as-is)

#

(oh wait, old FFXIV player)

#

yeah he can have up to 8 characters, 1 per server

#

minimum

#

up to 40 characters, 8 per server

mortal nebula
#

Idot, I had the trial, what is your question?

slate arrow
#

naw i'm pretty sure the person in question has a full account

mortal nebula
#

ohhh okay, my bad!

lethal bane
#

Yeah i do XD

#

Its all good! thank you both for helping me!

mortal nebula
#

Im so addicted to this damn game. And Idot, @slate arrow is friggin awesome. he helps but tells you how it is even if you dont like it. I wasnt enjoying the game because I was skipping all scenes. I had to remake because I started watching them and wanted to see what I missed!

empty parrot
#

Just wanted to make sure; the date in the EB ceremony invitation is adjusted to your local time right?

sinful breach
#

yes

empty parrot
#

Thank you!

lethal bane
#

@mortal nebula Yes! I get what you mean! I used to play alot of games, and now its like i can only stay on this one, I dont wanna play anything else lmao

POTD experience stops scaling at 60 or 50

slate arrow
#

60

unreal badge
#

ty

slate arrow
#

well specifically 61

#

once you get to 61 you then want to move on to heaven on high

green grail
#

it stops scaling at 60

#

you get the lvl 59 value

#

if you do it as a 60

severe night
#

what do you guys think is the most fun melee job

#

one that has cool combos and nice mechanics

slate arrow
#

any of them except for MNK

#

not NIN

#

NIN is pretty cool

severe night
#

I was going Monk XD

#

Ninja was my second choice

sinful breach
#

really up to you lol i find drg boring but some like it

severe night
#

I started the game as mage because I heard it was an easy job but it turned out it has cast times and I hated every second of it

slate arrow
#

I've played all of them to max level and I can confidently say MNK is probably the least well designed of the 4 melee jobs due to it's extreme reliance of a rear positional. It's not very interesting outside of a job gauge that occasionally fills when you get a crit and just being fast

#

(and you have the ability to ignore positionals up to 40 seconds every minute so i find it the least interesting, personally.)

severe night
#

I don't know hat you mean by positional but I won't go monk anymore

slate arrow
#

ah one second

severe night
#

I'm trying to switch to rogue right now

slate arrow
#

so you know that circle that appears around a target when you target it?

severe night
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

Each of the melee DPS have skills that do more damage or do something extra when you hit the Flank or Rear of a monster.

slate arrow
#

basically the "missing" part is the rear, and the 90 degrees to either side of the blank space is the flank

obsidian patio
#

!action Aeolian Edge

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Aeolian Edge** : lvl 26 ROG NIN (2.5 second cooldown)

Delivers an attack with a potency of 100.
160 when executed from a target's rear.
Combo Action: Gust Slash
Combo Potency: 420
Rear Combo Potency: 480 Combo Bonus: Increases Ninki Gauge by

slate arrow
#

Melee DPS gameplay uses those positionals for certain job things, usually more potency, or in the case of samurai, extra Job gauge

hot crane
#

hi I can't start this Leves of Aleport quest. click the map button and it doesn't work

unreal badge
#

is there a page somewhere I can quickly look at a list of purple(?) sidequests and what they unlock

hot crane
slate arrow
#

do the levequest first

#

you can't open it because the objective is the levequest which is in your journal

#

do you need a map to your quest journal or something

severe night
#

@slate arrow @obsidian patio thanks guys that explains alot

hot crane
#

k I see

#

ty

severe night
#

one last question

#

what's the earliest I can get a mount

obsidian patio
#

Level 20 in the story after joining a grand company

mint shale
#

!faq mounts

zinc orbitBOT
#
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.

valid idol
#

is there a way to login without putting in password like wow

obsidian patio
#

I know PS4 can have it remember their password. Don't think PC can do the same.

random warren
#

ps4 can pc cant

#

its more for security reasons if i recall

#

you still have to put the OTP in on ps4 the authenticator one

grizzled mist
#

Is there a cleaner way to aggro scattered adds as a tank? I usually resort to just shield lobbing or using an AoE once they're grouped

slate arrow
#

nope

#

Just shield lob and total eclipse

#

(oh, and provoke, if it's off cooldown.)

grizzled mist
#

I know provoke generates enmity, but can it be used to aggro more than one add?

obsidian patio
#

nope

slate arrow
#

nope

random warren
#

if youre having trouble with scattering adds just stand still and do some aoe then run on ahead

#

rather than just a quick aoe one then wall pull

#

some dps do like to sneak in an aoe or two when a tank wallpulls or does big ones

grizzled mist
#

Got it. Thanks!

random warren
#

no harm in spending a few extra seconds to build up some more aoe threat if you are unsure just to get the hang of it

minor current
#

hey guys, are we able to repeat the easter event to get more bejeweled eggs? I tried going to both npcs but i can't seem to re-do them.

slate arrow
#

you just go and do the fate again

#

There's no repeatable quest currently

#

That's probably reserved for part 2

robust crow
#

for beast tribe quests, does the quality matter of the things you synthesize

gritty turret
#

how do most people find companies to join other than using the recruit feature in this discord

obsidian patio
#

Only if they specify that they want HQ

#

I don't think turning in HQ stuff boosts the EXP if they're fine with normal

robust crow
#

i see

#

is there any other way to get rep besides dailies

#

for moogle tribe

obsidian patio
#

nope

whole wasp

beast tribe quests that dont need hqlight has no quality bar anyway

@slate arrow oh but i can't get into that...red bunny suit thing. Can i do it without?

there's an npc near the fate spawn that gives you the costume needed for the fate

#

i just unlocked samurai and im having trouble setting up my hotbar. all the stuff i can find is for max level setups and im super confused

#

is there like a basic setup guide?

pseudo pawn
#

Argh can you only have 4 chat tabs?

twilit arch
#

unfortunately yes

pseudo pawn
#

But 1 for social stuff, 1 for story-related stuff, 1 for battle log and 1 for everything else is so disorientating ._.

whole wasp
#

pls dont buy from that site

snow meadow
#

oh

whole wasp
#

anyway a cd key for stormblood is a scam

#

since its outdated as heck

#

buying shadowbringers gives all previous expansions and its the same price

snow meadow
#

i bought the cd key few days ago and it didnt work so xD

whole wasp
#

might be a used code. well now you know

snow meadow
#

yeah i qeuss

#

so its better to buy stormblood on steam it self?

whole wasp
#

steam or mogstation which is the Square enix website

#

either way

snow meadow
#

shadowbringers *

whole wasp
#

dont buy stormblood

#

@obsidian patio it said invalid

Are you still on the trial or do you have the base game registered?

you're clicking on "Enter Expansion Registration Code" right?

snow meadow
#

ooh do i have to enter it there

twilit arch
#

yes

snow meadow
#

okay that worked i never seen that big thing xD

#

and what do i know?

#

is that all?

twilit arch
#

launch the game and let it download the expansions you dont have

snow meadow
#

okay

#

i will let you know if it worked:)

#

its downloading so i think it worked haha

gritty turret
#

i did a quest earlier that when finished said i could teleport to lavender beds how do i do that

twilit arch
#

it'll be on the main aetheryete in gridania

gritty turret
#

how do i purchase a home

twilit arch
#

look for an empty plot in one of the housing wards, go up to the plaque with the needed gil in hand and select purchase

#

right now it'll probably be a bit harder to find an empty plot since the auto demolish has been disabled

gritty turret
#

how much do they cost

obsidian patio
#

!faq housing

zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
#

2m at the bare minimum if the plot has (somehow) been unbought for 30 days

gritty turret
#

oh...

well i have no where near that

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey, anyone wanna help me farm Levi & Ranuh extreme? Last 2 ponys i need

obsidian patio
#

Try party finder. If you're level 70 or higher you can easily solo farm them.

leaden ginkgo
#

Im level 71, but Levi is a pain as tank since it's 50/50 if i'll get MC'd or not. I just asked if anyone wanna help me or might need those 2 aswell

obsidian patio
#

You can use your stun/interrupt (Low Blow/Interject) to stop the add from using the Hysteria attack.

leaden ginkgo
#

It says "interject has no effect"

forest laurel
#

how do I solo twintania Thonk

#

it keeps knocking me into a wall with the dive bomb and I can't avoid it

obsidian patio
#

There's a spot in the arena that lets you easily dodge it. Lemme find a video that shows it in action

forest laurel
#

interesting

#

so just RIGHT next to the wall

red torrent
#

Hey guys what would be faster to level a dps from 50-70 potd and hoh or dr or squadrons?

obsidian patio
#

Assuming dungeons don't have a fast queue time then Palace of the Dead+Heaven-on-High

red torrent
#

What is average time needed to level a dps in potd and hoh? 30 min/ level?

obsidian patio
#

greatly depends on your groups.

#

I think a good group can clear a floor set in 14 minutes or so?

slate arrow
#

Average time I'd say maybe an hour a level, maybe to probably less if the game is kind with RNG and DF

glass eagle
#

Im doing golden saucer for the first time, I really enjoyed the gate event but can you only do it once? No option to do another

gloomy ice
#

They cycle through a few different games every twenty minutes

#

But yeah each gate is only one attempt each time they’re up

#

Doesn’t take long for the next to appear however

glass eagle
#

Ah so I can do multiple over a day for the challenge log?

twilit arch
#

challenge log is weekly

#

so yes, you can do a little bit each day

#

dont need to do it all at once

glass eagle
#

I don't usually do everything at once but I have quite afew free hours at the moment as you can imagine! But thanks for the info πŸ™‚ Must admit that jumping made my stomach go afew times x)

Guys, does this mean that you can buy the reward clothes from the 2019 event?

shrewd grail

grave thicket
#

I mean this one

twilit arch
#

no

#

the items its talking about is the fire works

slate arrow
#

yeah you gotta pay up for last years good stuff :(

grave thicket
#

I see. Also, should I be farming those eggs thingy on the event for some reason?

#

this is my first actual event on the game, so idk how they usually run

twilit arch
#

if you want the housing items or extras of them

slate arrow
#

You get 10 eggs per FATE participated in and you get the bunny glamour with the event quest

tight escarp
#

got a question about thaumaturge:
i noticed the MP are being reduced or increased by Blizzard/Fire, does it make a difference if i just cast blizzard or should i get in some Fire too?

edgy gate
#

wat lvl are u?

twilit arch
#

pretty much with thm, and blm, is about using most of your mp during the fire phase and then using blizzard to replenish your mp to go back into fire phase

tight escarp
#

8 atm @edgy gate

idle summit
twilit arch
#

nope

idle summit
#

damn...

#

thank you

edgy gate
#

then try to get familiar with transpose

tight escarp
#

So if I use Blizzard it starts out at 400MP, then 300MP and if I then Transpose 200MP

#

but is there a damage difference or nah

edgy gate
#

yes. umbral ice(blue orb) regens mp super fast

proud willow
#

there is a huge difference in damage between Thaum/BLM being played correctly or incorrectly

#

you should be casting a lot of Fire, as much as possible

tight escarp
#

and the fire orb increases damage?

edgy gate
#

astral fire(red) buffs fire attacks but stops mp regen

tight escarp
#

oh

slate arrow
#

Ice only reduces cost of magic and increases Mana rgeen

#

Fire multiplies all fire damage and increases fire spell cost

tight escarp
#

so what you are getting at is basically spam fire till you have to swap and repeat

edgy gate
#

when u run out of mp, u transpose and attack with blizzard till u can transpose again or have full mp

slate arrow
#

yes

where do i find the information of the blue/red orb actually then

There’s also an active help about Astral Fire and Umbral Ice

whole wasp
#

its the small question mark at the bottom of actions and traits screen

golden pier
#

So I'm new, about AoEs, I see the ground indicator, but it takes some time to launch. The indicator disappears before the attack appears.
Does the damage happens when it disappears? Or synced to animation?

Also, on Steam, I see base game (starter edition) and the lastest expansion. What about older expansions?

proud willow
#

Damage is locked in at the instant that the indicator disappears, but doesn't happen until the animation happens

#

so there is a moment where it's too late to get out but not too late to get healed

slate arrow
#

damage snapshots when the cast bar fills up or whenever the AoE disappears

#

so it's good habit to haul ass if you're standing in a death puddle

#

Also, older expansions come with the latest expansion

#

since the story builds on previous expansions and it wouldn't be fair to skip content due to how linear this games's progression is between expansions

#

(and how heavily story driven it is)

golden pier
#

all right, thanks!
enjoying the trial so far hehe

slate arrow
#

It's more accurate to refer to the latest expansion as the expansion pass rather than the expansion itself

485 out of the gate, or after upgrading?

as long as its 3 of the comp you need

Or does that mean its just the most grindable one

Its lower cp cost for half the steps

Sometimes you dont need all 8 steps of reduction

Hi everyone. New player here. My perspective is from Reddit, so it could be outdated info or just plain wrong - if RDM use Scatter for AoE and then go into Moulinet, what's the point in Veraero II / Verthunder II? My outlook is simplistic now as I'm low level.

late temple
#

Is tungsten ore a collectible or a actual mat

open coral
#

Don't use Scatter for AoE

#

Veraero/Verthunder II have a shorter cast time and fill more black/white mana.

#

I think.

#

I'm not positive about the black/white mana amounts

#

But I'm pretty sure Scatter is only 3 of both, while Veraero/Verthunder II are 7 of their corresponding type.

whole wasp
#

@late temple both. as collectable it can be turned in for scrips and some 2 star recipe requires tungsten ore as i recall

#

yea, tungsten steel ingot needs tungsten ore

tough wolf
#

Veraero/Verthunder II have a shorter cast time and fill more black/white mana.
@open coral I accept that, as it makes sense, but what's the point in Scatter?

open coral
#

It becomes a finisher at level 80.

strange coral
#

When Scatter is upgraded to Impact, you want to use Impact. Veraero II/Verthunder II to get mana and then Dualcast Impact for the damage.

open coral
#

^

#

Sorry, that's level 66, not 80

#

I was thinking of Scorch, which is the finisher off Jolt II

agile laurel
#

So first healspec I've picked up, I notice that a handful of spells have tier upgrades as you go (benefic I-III e.g). Are these treated as straight upgrades, or is it a matter of using all of them to vary healing requirement:mana burn?

strange coral
#

At low level, Scatter is just for aoe for a few levels before you get the Ver IIs

wintry chasm
#

Depends on the skill @agile laurel

slate arrow
#

tl;dr veraero2/verthunder2 > Scatter/Impact(at 66)

If you have a bunch of white and black Mana, spam AoE Mana spender

faint flare
#

Rdm aoe is Aero/thunder 2 into scatter/impact

wintry chasm
#

For that reason I suggest looking at your traits because they'd say "upgrade X to Y" @agile laurel

#

So you know what is an upgrade and what isn't

agile laurel
#

ah

#

cursory google search says it IS a case of 'keybind all 3'

slate arrow
#

As far as I know the only skill that upgrades is jolt and jolt 2

#

everything else is an independent skill

#

(oh and scatter and impact)

#

(I'm a dummy)

open coral
#

On WHM, Cure 1, 2, and 3 are all different spells, but you aren't going to use Cure 1 a whole lot at higher levels, and Cure 3 is a target-based AoE heal.

#

@agile laurel

#

AST's Benefic is basically the same.

slate arrow
#

Black Mage: Blizzard, Blizzard 2, Blizzard 3, and Blizzard 4 all do different things. Same thing with fire spells

open coral
#

You'll use Benefic more at lower levels, but Benefic 2 more later because it's simply a more powerful heal, and you'll have other tools better suited to the spot healing that Benefic would otherwise be used for.

tough wolf

Thanks everyone for the info on RDM.

I need it for the WHM lvl50 quest

Depends on how badly you want the glamour. There's way more money that will need to be spent in the quest line to get the fully upgraded relic.

can u have more than 1 authenticator on the account?

You're talking about A Relic Reborn? It's not required

Right, that's the one

#

Oh really? Then that quest is just for glamour purposes?

whole wasp
#

yup. it used to be for lvl 50 endgame but thats a long time ago.

gloomy ice
#

It's for a relic weapon. A long term investment that eventually turned into potential best weapon. But became obsolete as soon as HW launched. Such is the case with all relics.

strange coral
#

At this point, yes. The weapon was good back when it was 2.x end game, but now you can buy an Ironworks weapon easily to get a weapon boost

left cedar
#

Oh, I see. Might be best to just not do it yet then.

#

Thanks for the advice. I'll come back to it when I have a lot of money to burn.

heady bone
#

I played a few years back till I had a lv 32 gladiator on Gilgamesh, I would just start a new char to relearn things and see story I forgot... But the char has event cosmetic items I still want. Would it be worth leveling a free trial acc to level I stopped at to relearn stuff before picking up old char?

whole wasp
#

nah, just play your old char is my advice.

#

i find that restarting is very grating since you vaguely remember everything and it starts to feel tedious.

heady bone
#

Missing the intro quests to content you could access pre 30 wouldn't be harmful?

whole wasp
#

not really. i cant think of anything you would miss. maybe some story.

heady bone
#

Funny thing is that sub + expansion is more than just buying the everything pack and getting free month, want that cosmetic stuff though lol

#

Thanks, I think I'll just play through some of the initial city intro quests then hop to main once enough super early stuff jogs my memory

#

I'll just go to YouTube or something for missed story later maybe

lyric warren
#

has any1 done like a 4k texture pack for the game?

heady bone
#

BTW, would it be worth going through story quests with healer or dps instead of tank for initial class?

#

Since tank gets easy dungeon ques if I remember right

rare sable
#

Sure, whatever you like

#

Healer have easy queue too

#

If you want to be "efficient" you can run it with dps

#

Though in the end, it doesnt really matter much (since if you play long enough, you'll end up with a number of other classes leveled)

#

Tl;dr whatever makes you happiest

heady bone
#

Guess I'll just ask out of curiosity then, how big of a difference is it for a dps to level with quest as first job vs without quests as second class with that boost from first job?

rare sable
#

About the same....? Since doing msq take time too GWgoaThinken

whole wasp
#

about the same in terms of time, just that the content you run is different

#

if running dungeons over and over bores you to death then without msq would definitely be spicier

heady bone
#

I tend to prefer dungeon spam with tank/healer for mmos

Yeah ifirit first in smn quest. In dungeons at that level it doesn't really matter if want emerald carby since dps in general is low

shrewd kraken
#

Hello all πŸ™‚

pale minnow
#

Yeah I usually use Ifrit when leveling and in dungeons (DPS seems to be better), someone was giving me grief though for now using an AOE pet, and I couldnt find any definitive answer on the web (lots of old info out there)

bleak halo
#

Is there a way too see what i got as a drop from last dungeons ?

left moth
#

@bleak halo in game chat log will show what you got recently

bleak halo
#

It says i got some drops from crystal tower raid but there is nothing in my inventory

forest laurel
#

it's in your armoury chest.

bleak halo
#

At home ?

#

Why is that so

forest laurel
#

no.

bleak halo
#

It isn’t in there

forest laurel
bleak halo
#

I also didnt get the normal items

forest laurel
#

that's dumb, by default any gear you get should go to the armoury chest

#

unless one section is full.

#

for example if I had 35/35 weapons in my armoury chest, any new ones that I'd get would go straight to my inventory

bleak halo
#

It is not full. And it is always been like that. Everything i got from dungeon and raids was automatically in my inventory

forest laurel
#

there's your problem.

bleak halo
#

But in this case it not yoshifacepalm

forest laurel
#

but wait

#

are you SURE you got things from the raid

bleak halo
#

Yes. My chatlog says it

#

And i saw it

left moth
#

Use /isearch and part of the name (one word)

bleak halo
#

Like. /isearch Fuma ?

left moth
#

It will bring up the item if have it and san right click search in that and it'll say exactly where it's hiding

#

Yeah

bleak halo
#

It says no results

Hmm

#

What's a good way to lvl my other classes when I have one maxed at 50?

faint flare
#

Dungeons, palace.of the dead...fates while queing...hunting.logs until.17

left moth
#

Probably dungeon spam or potd if dps queue is bad + daily roulettes

barren galleon
#

Okay, thank you! πŸ™‚

cyan reef
#

Did most people skip most of the dialogue of ARR. I’m level 31 and doing level 24 story mission. It just takes foreverrr to read through all of the story. Plus the cutscenes too.

forest laurel
#

personally I didn't

#

also judging by your level I assume you've done some sidequest

#

overlevelling ain't bad at all but like
best to leave those for a 2nd job

tiny wedge
#

hey so i purchased a story skip as my friend told me to, and i already had a flying mount, do i still need to find all of these aether currents? or is there a way i can find the ones i need?

sly anchor
#

Is there server issues?

rain egret
#

hey guys! Is it possible to build up a glamour to get closer to japanese officer costumes? Like SMT Raidou or like the officers of owari no seraph?

wicked tendon
#

in regards to unlocking Shadowbringers MSQ

#

You basically need to master 4 different types of classes?

leaden ginkgo
#

just one

#

the role quests only require one completion

faint flare
#

@tiny wedge you will have flying in the zones you've skipped

wicked tendon
#

OH THANK GOD

#

because I was reading you need to clear 4 of them

leaden ginkgo
faint flare
#

Nah, onlu need all 4 if you want the secret quest and title

#

And extra dialogue in a 5.2 cutscene

wicked tendon
#

secret quest?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

There's an extra blue quest after you finished all role quests

#

Which has some big lore

wicked tendon
#

ah

faint flare
#

It basically wraps up and reveals the truth behind al the role quests

rain egret
#

btw thats how its supposed to look

#

more or less

#

usually with the hat

left snow
#

which dps class is good to reach to 50 quick?

wintry chasm
#

None are better than another

#

They are all DPS

rain egret
#

guess no one knows...

wintry chasm
#

I want to say the skalla set is the closest thing I can think of @rain egret

#

At least for chest

#

Specifically fending

left snow
#

I want to go for Samurai but I need a class to reach 50

rain egret
#

hummmm, nice, thanks! I thijnk it will be a good start

#

is it possible to set a hood atop of it?

#

cape or smth

obsidian patio
#

Don’t think tanks really get a hood as a helmet AFAIK

rain egret
#

oh sorry

#

i actually meant a cape

obsidian patio
#

Capes are part of the chest if they have one, they’re not a separate slot.

rain egret
#

oh i see....

zinc inlet
#

who fumbles, on the laptop the monitor gertz is 120, if I switch from the full screen to window mode without frames, will the gertz work?

Might Be Aether acting up if so

Me too :p

Crystal is acting up to

Yep I got the error too

Seems like all of NA is on Fire

oh, i just got in

i guess it's just spotty rn

obsidian patio

Just a little on fire then

Yea

Medium fire

About a 5 or so on the stove

Ok I’ll stop

are we still able to get yorha stuff?

faint flare

Yes

obsidian patio

Yes, the event is permanent

rain egret

cool!

the yorha uniform is perfect

Not even event

#

Its just content

plucky mason

Can someone explain these hildabrand quest

#

Theyre so dumb

faint flare

Theyre.silly side quests

obsidian patio

They’re comedic and for fun

Slapstick and such

Comic relief

cool! theyre perfect fit for what i want πŸ˜„

leaden ginkgo

Wtf man

#

I don't pay $13 a month for these shitty servers what's going on

sleek hull
#

Hoi hoi, question, the "complete online edition" is the one to buy, and has the 30days time right? and checking out as a guest should be fine right?

wooden tulip
#

Everyone is at home rn and not at school

faint flare
#

Yes ot.does cause it has the.base.game

obsidian patio
#

Yeah you can buy as a guest

wooden tulip
#

Can I ask a question?

sleek hull
#

do you just get a code and then claim it or something πŸ€”

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Note that your 30 free days start as soon as you redeem that license code

sleek hull
#

aite cool, used to the upgrading an account method

wooden tulip
#

Does anyone know if Ff7r 1st class from SE store will require a signature when it's delivered?

leaden ginkgo
#

So redeem it when you have time to play

sleek hull
#

thanks lads n ladies

plucky mason
#

Holy shit its gilgameshhh

sleek hull
#

assume said code is just gonna get sent to muh email :v

leaden ginkgo
#

Do we get extended time for these errors?

obsidian patio
#

@leaden ginkgo the errors only started recently, give them time. Either way the only time I remember them compensating people with free sub time is when they moved the physical datacenters to new locations for NA and EU

leaden ginkgo
#

Bruh seriously

obsidian patio
#

Might’ve also happened early 2.0 with the large amount of server errors that happened back at launch for about a month or so

wooden tulip
#

Ty @obsidian patio

leaden ginkgo
#

How long specially has this lasted for?

obsidian patio
#

Not sure, I only woke up a few hours ago.

#

Based on chat in this channel probably an hour or so?

heady bone
#

Is it worth abandoning my lv 32 paladin with some event cosmetics in Gilgamesh to get preferred server bonus coming back to play white mage? I waited to make the char in Gilgamesh a few years back because I heard that where you go for better pop and to raid

obsidian patio
#

Individual servers don’t matter much for raiding anymore.

heady bone
#

Raiding isn't mostly done with company?

obsidian patio
#

Party finder is now across your whole datacenter which made a big effort in helping smaller servers

#

Not always, most people use crossworld linkshells to make groups of people for endgame raiding

heady bone
#

Ah

sleek hull
#

I didnt realise buying the game prompted another 20gb download, bugger kweeeee

heady bone
#

So it's more a matter of ditching cosmetics and minor progress vs Buff then if server matters less

#

Thanks

obsidian patio
#

πŸ‘

leaden ginkgo
#

I managed to get in

heady bone
#

Is it easy to re-aquire things like 'red lady's yukata' and swimsuits from summer events? Or is that more a 'wait for another event is only way' thing?

leaden ginkgo
#

You guys can probably get in if you keep trying

obsidian patio
#

Depending on the seasonal item you can most likely buy it back from the calamity salvagers in the main cities

heady bone
#

I think I saw them as vendor when I looked that up from my old char sheet

hot eagle
#

old event stuff goes often on mogstation a year later

unreal python
#

Anybody else having connection issues with the game all of a sudden? I've checked my router and even opened up another online game to see if it was just my internet, but everything seems to be fine

sturdy mason
#

Is there a really fast way to get company seals? I think trading in gear is pretty fast, but not sure how to get gear that fast.

#

I need 20k seals for this relic weapon item

faint flare
#

Just greed on everything in your Daily roulettes

hot eagle
#

run your roulettes and need/greed all, probably no faster way

#

also u can use your poetics for gear which u can turn-in

sturdy mason
#

can the CF gear be exchanged?

ember ferry
#

You can run dungeons unsync. bulbasip It's faster than queueing if you're dps and depending on your lvl it can be a few thousand seals per like ~10 minutes

#

Like I'm lvl 71 and I run Sohm Al if I need seals fast

heady crater
#

does it make a difference what grand company i join?

dusky nest
#

nah, just pick which looks best for you

hot eagle
#

only for glam

dusky nest
#

you can change afterwards anyway

ember ferry
#

PikaHmm yes and no, you get different cosmetics

heady crater
#

Thanks!!!

ember ferry
#

and some are better situated than others for fast turn ins

heady bone
#

I have the base game and first expansion from a few years back, is there any benefit to buying the new expansions before reaching the end of heavensword in progression if starting lv 1?

ember ferry
#

vthink only unlocking the new races i think

left snow
#

which is the most straightforward melee dps for 1-50

severe night
#

I got to level 15 as rogue but mug is still locked?

quiet lagoon
#

hey im looking for a guild for new people any advice ?

strange coral
#

@severe night Mug requires a class quest

heady bone
#

how long would 1-30 take on preferred server if just rushing MSQ? since the account im picking back up is 32... im thinking of getting 30 on a new char on pref server (to re-experience story and refresh on quests that introduce me to things) for 15 free days now that i see that thats a thing

dusky nest
#

@left snow its really subjective tbh. you can try dragoon though, should be fairly easy to learn.
@quiet lagoon best way is to check #603040858782040095 or just shout in one of the major cities that you are looking for one

odd bobcat
#

Does blak mage circle works on other black mage?

heady bone
#

then hopping back to the lv 32 on gilgamesh

dusky nest
#

@heady bone 1-30 only? like 2h maybe? maybe more if you got bad queues

heady bone
#

for a fresh account its only 2h? o.o

dusky nest
#

if you got the exp boost and you rush the story, then yeah it doesnt take long.
if you actually take time to watch/read the cutscenes then it will most likely be quite a bit more

ember ferry
#

@odd bobcat Black Mage Ley Lines only work for the black mage who cast them

grave sphinx
#

Do... Do miqo'te have human ears alongside their cat ears or no?

obsidian patio
#

Pretty sure only the cat ears

#

And no, I don’t know how glasses fit on them

ember ferry
#

@grave sphinx Nope, only cat ears! In some hairstyles you can actually see the curve where human ears would go

grave sphinx
#

Oh thank god

heady bone
#

Are au'ra unable to really sleep on their sides due to horns?

ember ferry
#

Same thing goes for Viera, tho none of their hairstyles show where the human ears would be- but there was a bug with baldness and they had no human ears

grave sphinx
#

Counterpoint, custom au'ra beds with a hole in the bed just for their horns to go in lmao

grave sphinx

Anyway thank you this was a very important question to know if I should fear the cat people

ember ferry
#

lol

#

i know someone posted when the newest hairstyles got added that one has a visible spot where it curves above human ears and they i guess forgot to adjust it for Miqo

mellow cargo
#

Fun question: A friend of mine is still on the free trial and wants to know when he can get another mount. In his words "preferably something ridiculous".
Aside from the mounts you can buy on the MB (which he can't use on the trial) and the WHMicorn.... what mounts can you actually get at lv35?

left snow
#

where can one change to the new hairstyles?

vale fable
#

@mellow cargo you can get mounts from the achievement vendor in gildania for 6 tickets which is 300 achievement points which your friend should be close to by now

#

That’s where you get the behemoth mount too

#

Can also get those armor things for your Chocobo

mellow cargo
#

Ooh, nice, I forgot about those.

#

the magitek death claw should fit the "what the even heck" requirement

ember ferry
#

i don't remember when you access Gold Saucer? But there's some fun mounts there

ionic cairn
#

Hey! So I'm trying to buy ShB (just got back into the game), but it is saying the card declined, but the card has been charged the price for the game FOUR TIMES. Anybody have any ideas (since they are on ticket support online at the moment)?

hot basin
#

what level can I do dungeons at and do I need to somehow unlock them first?

mellow cargo
#

If you send me the card number and 3-digit code I can see what I can do. (j/k, seriously don't. I'm not sure if there's anything the internet can do to help with this.)

#

Maybe call your issuing bank and ask if they saw any problems on their end?

ionic cairn
#

Good luck, 2 hour hold times today.

strange coral
#

@hot basin They are unlocked via quests. Some from MSQ and some from side quests with the blue marker. First one is a level 15 MSQ.

mellow cargo
#

bluequest <-- that one

left snow
#

is it worth creating first chracter in preffered server?

restive raven
#

Completely new player here - currently doing trial but I am fairly sure I'Ll upgrade - what exactly is the endgame.

#

I am a WoW Refugee

mellow cargo
#

Fashion.

restive raven
#

So what exactly is FFXIV's version of Mythic Raid content?

mellow cargo
#

Other people here will give you other answers but they are wrong.

restive raven
#

Okay what's the hardest PVE Content at max level?

hearty garden
#

What does Gloom weather do?

left moth
#

ultimates are the hardest content currently, followed by savage, then regular raids (24 person slightly less difficult because of player count)

#

frumples: gloom is odin weather in shroud zones edit: odin weather is tension. gloom is mostly visual effect

open coral
#

@restive raven Savage Raids and Extreme trials are the closest you’ll get on a regular release schedule

mellow cargo
#

Okay, there are raids and trials too. Almost all is in the form of standalone boss encounters as opposed to dungeons, but compared to WoW it's somewhat more technical/execution-focused (haven't played WoW since early Legion, so idk how it compares to current stuff)

open coral
#

There is only one ultimate raid per expansion, so I wouldn’t consider that comparable

mellow cargo
#

There are also 24-man alliance raids, but by nature their challenge comes from the fact that there are 23 other randos stuck in the instance with you.

restive raven
#

Current boss encounters are pretty boring. Even at Mythic+ most of the N'zoth's Raid really comes down to damage

left snow
#

is it worth creating first chracter in preffered server?

restive raven
#

there are only 3-4 very mechanical bosses

left moth
#

Heorogar: yes because of xp buff

mellow cargo
#

Compared to what I remember of wow's endgame, ffxiv bosses are pretty technical, instant kill mechanics abound. They all take place in a single room so resets are fast.

warped nest
#

is it worth creating first chracter in preffered server?
@left snow yes, unless you already have a character like 50+ levels into the MSQ

restive raven
#

Fair enough that sounds pretty great

#

I like good thematic places but I can also deal with just boss room

warped nest
#

XIV raids are all mechanical dances

#

Plus some DPS/Heal checks

mellow cargo
#

Alliance raids are thematic as heck.

warped nest
#

Yup

#

We have whatev it is in HW, Ivalice in SB, and Nier in ShB

mellow cargo
#

not to mention FF3-err, crystal tower

restive raven
#

Okay this all sounds pretty great. Now I just need to ugrade and actually reach that point

warped nest
#

Have fun

mellow cargo
#

Don't rush, there's a lot to do πŸ™‚

warped nest
#

@left snow try not to dm questions

#

Most of the time it is better to let multiple players see the same question

#

1 single person doesn't always have the right answer

left snow
#

should I go preffered on Primal or Crystal?
Aether preffered are locked

warped nest
#

Regarding Primal vs Crystal, the general consensus is Crystal is a tad more casual / role play focused compared to Primal

#

I think

rain egret
#

we only have one option for glamour dyes? or can we dye different parts of the same equipment?

open coral
#

Crystal is considered the β€œRP” datacenter

stable herald
#

Is the easter event just chicken catching in a fursuit?

#

Or have I missed the npc?

#

I saw the dialogue that mentioned more quests

strange coral
#

There will be more next week

stable herald
#

Ah. Cool. Thanks

obsidian patio

@rain egret you can only dye what the game shows for that item, no multiple dye spots

How do I unlock potd? "The House That Death Built" hasn't shown up for me, what are the conditions?

have you done copperbell mines yet

that's the only requirement afaik

Into a copper hell?

is copper hell completed or just the dungeon?

(just to get clarification)

#

The quest

what does Nojiro Marujiro (at the inn) say when try to interact?

coarse elbow

If I enter a dungeon with a preformed party as a Blue mage, do I get a ton of exp from it, or is the exp normal level?

Only from overworld monsters

He isn't there... Have I started it? I feel like an idiot now

is the msq boost worth it if I care nothing for story?

if have completed another time earlier it should be able to just go straight to quarrymill

#

otherwise I'm out of ideas other than maybe log off and on again if have completed copper hell today

slate arrow
#

@left snow no because you still have to play through some of the story and the game is like 70% story

#

you're paying to skip what you paid for

left moth
