raw solstice
#

potd give exp though, while ng+ does not

#

so if you want to level, potd is the way to go

proud willow
#

I think that's what he meant

raw solstice
#

yeah

warped nest
#

Potd is only good if your roulette/dungeon queue is worse

warped nest
#

If you are getting around 5 min wait time for roulette/dungeon, I'd go with roulette/dungeon

languid zinc
#

What is Potd?

slate arrow
#

Palace of the Dead

languid zinc
slate arrow
#

It's basically a roguelike RNG dungeon

#

With its own progression system

languid zinc
#

more rngHyperNeko

cold shore
#

uh

#

I thought about money reward

#

so ng+ just quite junk

warped nest
#

NG+ in the context of FFXIV is a way to replay MSQ

#

It is not higher difficulty stuff

cold shore
#

yea but it doesn't even give exp

#

on top of being the same

slate arrow
#

Well what did you expect

warped nest
#

It is for people to replay the story with low commitment, by giving them many choice of starting point

cold shore
#

I expected to get exp

#

nothing more, nothing less

#

same, a bit less. Doesn't matter

#

cuz now it's probably most useless feature in the game

warped nest
#

I am fairly sure that the game has mentioned that NG+ doesn't have any reward

#

If it doesn't state this explicitly, then you can bring it up to SE

#

Because lack of information has misled you and this is a room for improvement

solid sinew
#

Unable to create new gear set. in game on a new alt on european datacenter I made wont let me creat any more sets even though I unlocked the abilty to join other guilds and even got a second class, i was able ot update that other job but gladitor I an unable to even do anything

warped nest
#

Take a screenshot

solid sinew
#

BTW copied my setting from my main NA over to the european one and I have done this before on my alts on NA with no issue

warped nest
#

Just take a screenshot

solid sinew
#

sure...

cold shore
#

I wasn't confronting it that game stated otherwise, just the fact that it's super whack feature

twilit arch
#

its not really...plenty of people have requested the ability to replay thru without having to level a new character

cold shore
#

on the other topic:
Is there any site that shows optimal rotaions for classes? (Working on skillbar setts for X bar)?

warped nest
#

!faq balance

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

You have maxed out at 9/9

#

Delete one of those obsolete gearset

solid sinew
#

So because I am still locked to one city its locked how many gear sets I can have?

#

Well that is stupid

twilit arch
#

you unlock more gearset slots with each class/job you unlock

oak ice
#

!item gyr abanian plait

zinc orbitBOT
#
Error!

Item not found, Kupo!

oak ice
twilit arch
#

its from HoH sacks

oak ice
#

You've been able to buy it on the market board for a long time now, I believe

twilit arch
#

ye, can buy it off the marketboard as well

gloomy ice
#

You should be able to find it in the market board under miscellany. If there are none listed, or too expensive, can be found as a rare drop from silver treasures in Heaven on High.

native ingot
#

O just discovered you can have a companion chokobo

#

But now I'm lvl 15

#

Do I still go get one?

oak ice
#

That quest unlocks at 30 and is called "My Feisty Little Chocobo"

#

You get the companion chocobo as a mount at 20-ish, when you choose a grand company through MSQ

native ingot
#

@oak ice ty

tough wolf
#

What's an "Omega train"?

dusky nest
#

a specific fight of the omega raids

#

stormblood content

tough wolf
#

I think that was it! I don't have many flying maps so it's a no for me ๐Ÿ˜ฆ can't keep up!

steady night
#

does the game still have a recruit a friend system in place?

tough wolf
#

Must take hours to get all the Aether Currents!

oak ice
#

If you use the aether compass liberally, you will come close to every current in the open world as you do MSQ

mortal nebula
#

Being level 25, im still on tier one achievments and hunting logs, should I stop and catch up?

wintry chasm
#

not really

#

Hunting log isn't very helpful for xp at higher levels and it doesn't really give anything helpful for completing it

open coral
#

It's up to you. The hunt logs are basically just a low level xp supplement.

wintry chasm
#

The only remotely helpful thing about hunting log outside of low level xp is that you need to do the grand company section a bit to rank up in your grand company when you get there in main story which is nice to do but not necessary right away

forest laurel
#

I mean you do get an achievement for completing a full hunting log but other than that it's just good xp for very low lvls

wintry chasm
#

That implies achievements are remotely helpful

open coral
#

I usually use them if I need a last burst of xp to get to my next level.

hot crane
#

hi, as a new new I am curious how important is grand company missions

mortal nebula
#

Okay because i read that hunting logs were awesome for exp

#

Unless the guide is outdated

wintry chasm
#

It is awesome for xp

#

in the low levels

#

@hot crane the crafting and gathering missions are fantastic for xp absolutely do them if you want to get into those

#

The expert delivery is just a nice way to trash old gear and gives you lots and lots of seals

hot crane
#

oh nice

#

tyty

mortal nebula
#

@wintry chasm up to what level? So since my main is 25, I should save the logs for a different job?

open coral
#

Every job has its own logs

wintry chasm
#

^

open coral
#

You can't do a different job's logs with a new job.

wintry chasm
#

The only one they share is the grand company one

#

Which doesn't even give xp

open coral
#

If you're 25 as your main job, it's still worth it to go back and unlock the log tiers.

#

For that job.

wintry chasm
#

also for "up to what level" I always feels like that depends on if you have the preferred server xp boost and frankly I think it's kinda flexible. I just stop when I feel like it's not worth it

open coral
#

The xp will be decent within the ranges until you complete the level 50 log.

wintry chasm
#

Aura

#

I disagree with that

#

It's a nice thing to do while you're queuing for content I guess

#

But I wouldn't call the xp decent past like, 30

open coral
#

That's fair.

leaden ginkgo
#

i mean

#

it's meant for 1~50 anyway

open coral
#

I usually use the 31-40 and 41-50 logs to get the last burst of xp I need to reach the next x0 level.

leaden ginkgo
#

and there's the gc logs too

open coral
#

I do them all at once, and it's a nice way to help level your choco.

mortal nebula
#

So basically use google to find out where the mobs are?

twilit arch
#

just because its meant for 1-50 doesn't mean its that great of exp after a certain point

mortal nebula
#

You cant even level your choco until level 30 i thought

twilit arch
#

leve quests for combat are meant for lvl 1-60 and they're pretty awful xp

open coral
#

Correct, you can't level your choco until level 30

#

The first time you get to level 30

twilit arch
#

you get your chocobo around lvl 20 in the msq

#

but the quest to make it a companion is lv 30 yes

open coral
#

With subsequent classes you can use your chocobo from level 1 once you've unlocked it as a companion.

mortal nebula
#

Guess ill save logs for level 30. I just got my chocobo, when i get 30, do i level his heal first?

open coral
#

That's up to you.

#

Don't save the logs to 30 though if you're still in the 1-10 log.

#

Your chocobo gets xp based on your level.

#

So if you're killing level 5 mobs at level 30, neither you nor your chocobro will get much benefit out of it.

mortal nebula
#

Okay, should i level his heal first?

open coral
#

That's a personal choice. If you're currently leveling as a healer, having the chocobo healing isn't as useful.

twilit arch
#

healer tree first is the usual recommendation

#

yes it is

grave sphinx
#

Can I suggest not leveling his tanking first, because that's what I did and he dies too fast, I love you my chocobo baby but-

open coral
#

Yeah, choco-tank isn't that great.

grave sphinx
#

Put my first 4 levels in tanking F

open coral
#

Healer tree first is the typical recommendation though, as Kale said.

mortal nebula
#

Lol, im a Dark mage so standing still i believe the heals would benefit

rare sable
#

Healer chocobo is best for low level I think?

#

Even if ur a healer

open coral
#

Ultimately you'll gain the ability to unlock all of the trees though.

rare sable
#

Though its usefulness slides down the higher you are

open coral
#

I'll usually do up to Choco Cure, then switch to the dps tree through level 10.

forest laurel
#

what's the highest level a chocobo can be

open coral
#

20

#

But you need Thavnairian Onions to level it past 10.

forest laurel
#

so it would be possible to have every single tree upgraded then?

open coral
#

Yes

mortal nebula
#

this level 50 is randomly there, think I can take him at level 25?

open coral
#

That's a B-rank hunt mob.

forest laurel
#

absolutely not

open coral
#

You can't take him.

wintry chasm
#

You will get slaughtered

rare sable
#

Do not touch mobs whose name are jagged flowery lol

wintry chasm
#

/don't touch mobs whose levels are clearly way higher than yours

open coral
#

Mobs with those special icons (you'll see ones later that have similar icons in orange instead... keep your distance from those) are Hunt mobs, meant to be killed either once you're at that level or in parties at that level.

#

Or higher level.

mortal nebula
#

Yeah i ran like hell

#

Is there a way in game to easiy find mobs?

open coral
#

Not really unless they're for a quest.

wintry chasm
#

What kind of mobs?

open coral
#

Quest mobs will always appear as little Q icons on your map and minimap.

wintry chasm
#

Hunting log always gives you a little area you can look around in

open coral
#

Otherwise you can google the mob name and find the coordinates.

wintry chasm
#

Quest mobs show up as a ring on the minimap and have the icons on it too

mortal nebula
#

Mobs for hunt log.

wintry chasm
#

The hunting log tells you where

cunning palm
#

which chat channel does the orange font represent?

open coral
#

/shout

mortal nebula
#

I click the mob says black brush but they are nowhere to be found

wintry chasm
#

^ zone wide basically

#

Look around the area of the map that is blackbrush

open coral
#

The Black Brush area is pretty big.

wintry chasm
#

What is the mob specifically?

mortal nebula
#

Spriggan graverobber

wintry chasm
#

Oh yeah that's southwest of the station

#

Near the exit into Western Thanalan

twilit arch
mortal nebula
#

Ooooo thanks guys! That guide is nice!

Aaah lvl 1 skill

#

Hit lay of the land / arbor call

wintry chasm
#

you want

#

!action prospect

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Prospect** : lvl 1 Disciple of the Land (0.0 second cooldown)

Survey the landscape to locate mineral deposits and rocky outcrops. Activates automatically when class is changed to miner.

rare sable
#

If still nothing appear, then that zone doesnt have gatherable for you(r level)

cunning palm
#

oh right, makes sense thanks

wintry chasm
#

Yeah prospect only shows nodes on the minimap if they are close by but lay of the land/ arbor call just shows the nearest node in the zone

#

your gathering log should also give you a rough area where a node should be

#

like bone chips IIRC can be found at "hammerlea"

#

Which is the southern area of central thanalan

frosty crater
#

Do you get the Fantasia at lvl 50 immediately or is it gated behind a MSQ?

elfin osprey
dusky nest
#

kinda reminds me to the werewolf skirt

#

checking the thread where the pic is originally from tells me that this is a mod

elfin osprey
#

ugh I was thinking so too

dusky nest
#

or rather, something someone threw together to make an example

twilit arch
#

Yeah, the leggings (without skirt) are from the alchemist's trousers. the skirt itself is brand-new waistwrap

#

but alchemist trousers (on females) does have a small skirt so could work as a replacement all in all

#

downside is its alchemist only

elfin osprey
#

rip

#

thanks

hot crane
#

is there "basic" or "normal" attack in this game?

twilit arch
#

you mean auto attacks?

hot crane
#

hmm I dont know what that is but I guess yes?

#

I don't even know how to do the auto attack

twilit arch
#

They happen automatically, so you're probably not going to notice them unless you're not actively using your actions

oak ice
#

As the name implies, auto attacks are done automatically

#

Go up to any enemy and just do a standard right click on them

#

Or maybe it's left click

junior yacht
#

default is right

hot crane
#

hmm I see

#

yet it seems affected by skill cd too

oak ice
#

It goes out automatically as long as you're not channeling anything

thick bolt
#

Do red mages need to be a certain distance awaay from a boss or something?Why do they refuse to stay in asylum even if I resue them into it

#

Rescue*

twilit arch
#

some people are dumb and think they need to stand in the bumfuckofnowhere

oak ice
#

Because they're doing the standard pug thing of ranged classes standing at max range

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

#

Some people just don't like living Shy

oak ice
#

"Oh, no, maybe the boss will step on me if I stand near it"

elfin osprey
#

Just a warning, people don't like being rescued.

#

even if its for good

#

especially tanks

hot crane
#

was thinking if I can increase dps by doing auto attack when skill cd

oak ice
#

Well, technically

thick bolt
#

They don't like making my life easier by me healing them through asylum? that's stupid

oak ice
#

The auto attack is a not-insignificant portion of DPS

thick bolt
#

I just thought it was something with red mages because I've only had that problem with red mages

hot crane
#

the dmg auto attack provides is so bad

twilit arch
#

If they want to stand out of aoe healing range you can just let them die tbh

oak ice
#

Which job are you on?

elfin osprey
#

I think the auto attack is pretty important for long fights

#

its like a dot

hot crane
#

lancer

#

I rerolled to another server

#

gonna be DRG again

forest laurel
#

autoattack doesn't do that much damage yeah but afaik it can be important
especially for paladin bc the oath gauge is charged by autoattacking

twilit arch
#

auto-attacks are realistically not something you would be worrying about

hot crane
#

oh

#

so it's class-wise

twilit arch
#

its extra dmg that happens automatically provided you're within range of the boss (melee/casters, physical range automatically do their attacks at range provided they aren't channeling something)

mortal nebula
#

Where do i find my daily list at? I dont see it inder journal

oak ice
#

Auto attacks are a big chunk of damage

#

But like Kale said, it's automatic and you can't stop them from happening without sheathing your weapon between every GCD or unless you channel something, and for those jobs the auto attacks don't matter

restive raven
#

@mellow cargo So after we talked last night, I watched the Immaculate's Trial Extreme guide

#

That fight looks like utter hell

#

Make a single wrong step and it will spiral into a wipe

native ingot
#

Question I'm at the main story quests and at the sastasta dungeon, it won't register that I did it and will prompt me do to it again through the duty finder

oak ice
#

lol no, Innocence is easy as long as you don't get the line AoE that targets DPSes to cleave the team

native ingot
#

Am I doing something wrong and it won't register

#

I have done it 2 times now

restive raven
#

The falling sword tethers?

oak ice
#

Ye, I think, the ones that split off to the sides when they reach where you were standing

restive raven
#

I mean it's hard when you approach it with a WoW mentality since I am a WoW refugee. There while positioning is important more often than not fights come down to - How Much Damage? And do you remember to interrupt? - There were Mythic Bosses where I barely moved

oak ice
#

Other than that, the only brain power needed is to aim the laser to the big shiny balls towards the end

restive raven
#

There was a fight in Legion's First raid where I remember only moving twice

#

to drop off a negative effect

#

Anyway so far I am having a blast

#

Level 20, got my airship ticket

#

progress is nice and steady

oak ice
#

@native ingot Unfortunately I cannot say I've ever encountered that issue, you've done Sastasha twice and it won't register?

native ingot
#

Yes

oak ice
#

Only thing I can think of is to either try and talk to the barkeep in Limsa again to report it or contact support

native ingot
#

Ok will try it a bit more before doing that

#

@oak ice at the duty finder it says duty roullete: guildhests

#

Is that what it should be writing

oak ice
#

No, guildhests are a separate thing entirely

native ingot
#

Aaaaa I see I'm just dumb

#

If the hospitals weren't basically shuttered I'd go there for mental retardation

#

Anyway ty

oak ice
#

Are you doing guildhests instead of Sastasha?

native ingot
#

Yes lol

oak ice
#

lmao

agile laurel
#

I would imagine in descending order of housing popularity it's Mist, Lavendar then Goblet?

oak ice
#

Shirogane first and then that order, most likely

whole wasp
#

Shirogane and Goblet also depends which house you get

#

Shirogane beach houses and Goblet swimming pool houses are the most popular

agile laurel
#

Oh that makes sense

#

I was always confused why Goblet seemed to be dead by comparison of demand

rare sable
#

Goblet only have some nice spot

#

The rest is just ... walls

agile laurel
#

It's not on the agenda for now, especially since I'll probably end up moving to EU datacenter (where i really should be) eventually and it looks like some of the worlds there are smol

#

just don't know whether to settle for a small plot or hedge my bets to get a medium

leaden ginkgo
#

What's the most Efficient way for you guys to farm Allegory in a week?

#

I mean it's capped at 450, so how many days do you farm it the fastest and how? ๐Ÿ˜„

twilit arch
#

you'll cap doing 5 experts a week

#

can get it done faster if you join a hunt train

rare sable
#

I fastest to cap with min grinding is... 2?

#

Do all dailies with allegory bonus

hoary storm
#

Hunt train gives 160

twilit arch
#

you can do it in a day, provided ofc you can hop onto 3~ full hunt trains

leaden ginkgo
#

wow, I never knew hunt gives you allegory, thanks for the info!

open coral
#

Only A and S rank hunts give allegory, you can also get allegory from doing maps.

young fjord
#

Do I need to do all of these for second relic?

twilit arch
#

yes, you have to complete all books

young fjord
leaden ginkgo
#

yep

#

it's just like those atra things

#

acquiring relics is suffering

young fjord
#

FATE timers are the worst

leaden ginkgo
#

so this is a phenomenally dumb question but

#

what exactly do you even get for doing gc stuff

#

i'm doing it but i don't really see the point

#

also is there any worth in maxing out all three gcs

wintry chasm
#

No for that last bit

leaden ginkgo
#

good to know about that last bit

wintry chasm
#

But ranking up in your GC can give you new items to get, some of them equipment that can look cool, you'll unlock squadrons which is nice for xp and you can get some rewards from it. Both the squadron and getting highly ranked in your grand company can get you a lot of emotes

#

Getting high enough in your grand company can unlock expert delivery which is a really good way to trash old gear

leaden ginkgo
#

hm

gritty oracle
#

Do Garleans use Eorzean Gil or do they have their own currently?

wintry chasm
#

Makes sense to be the latter

leaden ginkgo
#

hi me and my friend are new, but we don't quite know which server to choose from either chaos or light

#

thanks for the info

wintry chasm
#

It is an Eorzean Gil

gritty oracle
#

Also on your question Drive, being a higher rank with your GC makes your seal cap higher so you don't have to spend it too often

wintry chasm
#

Shiva is unofficial German, Moogle is unofficial French, other than that I'd pick a preferred server since they have an insane xp boost buff @leaden ginkgo

leaden ginkgo
#

oh alright, so it doesn't matter which?

#

in terms of population

#

etc

gritty oracle
#

Chaos Omega is huge on roleplay, that's the extent of EU servers I know

wintry chasm
#

EU servers are really even

#

That's not exactly true either Vie?

gritty oracle
#

Really? The Chaos RP discord is almost entirely Omega

wintry chasm
#

I think that was the plan when it came out but I don't think it actually really came out to be an RP server

#

Regardless I don't think that matters much anyway

#

EU server population is even and content is done across entire data centers so server population doesn't matter anyway

gritty oracle
#

Yep

leaden ginkgo
#

oh ok thx ๐Ÿ™‚

cunning palm
#

if im level 70 with a premade level 16 queueing duty leveling does that work?

faint flare
#

You're synced down

#

Gear as well

cunning palm
#

but ill still get as much exp reward as if im soloing right?

hoary storm
#

The EXP scales with your lv

cunning palm
#

okay so that works with party as well then

faint flare
#

The mobs won't give much but roulette bonus compensates the difference

dawn mountain
#

Are mouseover macros a thing for healing?

faint flare
#

Kinda???? But macros are pretty trash in the game so you'll be abit slower than manually targetting people

hoary storm
#

I personally woundt use macros for healing

faint flare
#

Not using macros will very generally be superior then using them

twilit arch
#

if you're more comfortable using mouseover macros, then its alright to use them but like vinyl said, they're not as efficient as manually targetting someone

#

ideally though, should learn to manually target to heal

mossy wadi
#

Just click lifebar. Once. Then cast spell. You default healing whoever's lifebar you clicked.

rough wasp
#

Hello new player here lookin for server recommendations and sorry for the noob questions in advance

junior yacht
#

server doesn't really matter

#

if you have a friend that's already playing join their server

#

otherwise just go for a Preferred World

dawn mountain
#

Seems suboptimal to not be able to have your target on the boss for AOE/tankbusters having to spam click people instead. was mostly thinking about that

rough wasp
#

Nope no friends

strange coral
#

You can put the boss on focus target to keep an eye on them

mossy wadi
#

Tanking isn't easy. I had no idea til I tried.

#

Hardest thing as healer for me is the whole party running like maniacs while I am the healer. I can't heal you if I can't see ya.

hoary storm
#

Do you click their names in party or where they are in game?

mossy wadi
#

Nsme..

gritty oracle
#

@dawn mountain

  1. Macroing GCD skills is generally a bad idea because of skill queuing.
  2. Just hover your mouse over the party frames and target enemies by tabtargeting
  3. The only healing skills I'd macro is ground targeting ones, which I put on "cast under the target" instead of mouseover, and resurrection for the text for fun
#

For example /ac "Earthly Star" <t> will put an Earthly star square under my target, who's probably going to be the tank. I should really macro sacred soil as well tbh

#

And fairy

agile laurel
#

Ooh that's a good macro

#

don't even think wow could do that

agile laurel
#

I was tab targeting but the tab targets are quite brave in this game

mossy wadi
#

If I am tanking, how should I target mobs or add on monsters? I try using tab to change enemy lifebars. Also I just have no idea how to get the best aggro because the mobs attack the others. It's always a pleasure when one of the DPS is a arcanist or summoner.

faint flare
#

Just spam aoes

gritty oracle
#

I put tabtarget on middle click tbh, and yeah sometimes I have to click multiple times to get a decent target. I use enemy list a lot tbh.

faint flare
#

People should bring mobs to you

And your aoes will pick them up

gritty oracle
#

Also, enemy list.

faint flare
#

Also that

mossy wadi
#

I try. Enemy list?

faint flare
#

Yes, the enemy list

#

That giant list of enemies that show who you're in combay with

gritty oracle
#

I have a tank question of my own. After I stop spamming my AoE skill and start doing my 1-2-3 thing, should I keep rapidly switching targets during the GCD to see if I have sufficient aggro on everyone, or only react if something breaks away from me? Or periodically "refresh" aggro by inserting an AoE skill after an 1-2-3?

mossy wadi
#

I see that.... But I don't get all the monsters to attack me

twilit arch
#

shouldn't need to switch targets to maintain aggro because by the time you stop doing your AoE rotation, you should be down to 1-2 enemies

#

and have enough of an aggro lead

gritty oracle
#

Mhm, thanks!

#

I'm only level 29 yet

faint flare
#

You can literally afk after like 4 attacks and not lose aggro

gritty oracle
#

On my gladiator

faint flare
#

Cause of aggeo changes

rare sable
#

Eh pack mobs are not often less than 3

#

3 and more you just spam aoe

#

Tl;dr just keep aoe-ing

mossy wadi
#

I only seem to have one AOF though.

#

maybe two?

faint flare
#

Your group isn't killing mobs at all to drop them to 2 mobs PtiloThonk

rare sable
#

When ur low level tank, you only get 1 aoe yes

#

Just spam that

mossy wadi
#

I am talking GNB

rare sable
#

And dont forget to turn on your stance

faint flare
#

Gnb has 2 when over like 40s

#

Slice into slaughter

mossy wadi
#

sure, I get reminded thaw tall the time..... turn tank stance

wintry chasm
#

I'm not sure I get the question

mossy wadi
#

I noticed some dungeons i'm in are lvl 50 but "rough divide" is over lvl 50 so I can't use it.

faint flare
#

Thats a dash

wintry chasm
#

^

mossy wadi
#

sure, gets me into the thick of things faster.

wintry chasm
#

And?

#

That's not important

mossy wadi
#

then i'll go do combos

#

I have num 1-9 keybound for attacks.

faint flare
#

You want rough divides done under no mercy

#

Ideally

mossy wadi
#

oh well, I gues I keep practicing.

#

I'm new here

#

Can someone tell me if there is a better way to farm exp and Gil aside from the main quest and dungeons

#

For lower levels

whole wasp
#

exp-wise msq is still the best for your first job

rare sable
#

You... dont

#

Time wise, tis better to get somewhat higher first

#

then figure out how to make gil...

whole wasp
#

gil-wise, there isnt any fast way other than just acculumating and not spending too freely. You could try crafting and gathering but those take time and effort to get into in the first place

#

to get into a position where you can earn gil instead of spending gil

rare sable
#

Its very common to see people complaining about being "broke" cause they're raising doh/l

wintry chasm
#

To be fair if you're efficient you can very easily make Gil throughout the crafting and gathering leveling

rare sable
#

"I dont know how" - this is their reply, like, 95% of the time TT___TT

wintry chasm
#

Is that a joke or a question?

#

It feels a bit hard to tell with the conversation at hand

gritty oracle
#

I'm sorry

wintry chasm
#

No but seriously if that's a question I'd love to answer it

sturdy mason
#

Where can I find a good categorized (e.g. ranged DPS, melee DPS, healer, tank) list of all the classes in the game with their full name + 3 letter abbreviations?

leaden ginkgo
#

Uhm, on your character window?

sturdy mason
#

I'm not in the game

#

Hoping for a website

#

I haven't found one on google

leaden ginkgo
#

Rip, sure, lemme look one for yah

twilit arch
#

its missing expansion jobs unfortunately

cunning palm
#

only arcanist / scholar share exp ?

#

any other classes?

faint flare
#

Only smn/scholar

#

Cause they're base arcanist

wintry chasm
#

Summoner and Scholar are the only ones since they both share the same class

#

Mmm

sturdy mason
#

Oh excellent list thank you

#

I said classes I meant jobs, Just realized that

#

but this covers that

twilit arch

weirdly its missing dancer (dnc)

This list is nicely organized but missing the abbrevs.

FINAL FANTASY XIV

In FINAL FANTASY XIV, sufficient mastery of a class will open up the path to one or more related jobs and their respective actions. To learn more about job actions, traits, and the newly added job gauges, check out the section below.

modern quail

is new game + released yet?

rare sable
#

Uh huh

#

Though arr is not there

#

So far only the 3 expansions and alliance raids I think

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

modern quail
#

So I can replay through all the expansions besides ARR? How do you access it?

wintry chasm
#

Finish...2.0 and then there is an old guy at vesper's bay

#

and then it's from a menu after you do the unlock quest you get from the old man

modern quail
#

okay nice, thank you

wintry chasm
#

I think it's 2.0 anyway let me check

#

Scratch that

#

3.0

quartz shale
#

it wont be available until you do 3.0 or further iirc, since ARR is currently excluded from NG+

#

just remember though, you dont get extra rewards from replaying them

what does marking ' target to ignore ' means?

faint flare
#

Usually means to not hit that target for reasons

wintry chasm
#

^

faint flare
#

Aka just ignore it.in general

cunning palm
#

cus i have been marked lol?

#

idk so annoying

#

on top of my head

wintry chasm
#

Oh

#

Um

#

They could be doing it for shits and giggles

#

goodness knows I've put bind icons on people

whole wasp
#

i sometimes put it on the tanks so that the DPSes know not to stand with them and get hit by boss attacks

cunning palm
#

at what level do you think its worthwhile to play MSQ to level up ? since it takes like 45mins ish

whole wasp
#

msq or MSQ roulette?

cunning palm
#

duty *

wintry chasm
#

Always

#

It's always worth it

cunning palm
#

but isnt it better to just spam dungeons at low levels? like 40-50 ish you still get one level per dungeon that takes 20mins but one MSQ duty takes 45mins?

jovial stratus
#

hey im a ps4 player but for some reason its not letting me play the game without paying 12.99 idk whats wrong with my account

quartz shale
#

@jovial stratus FF14 is a subscription game

#

purchasing the game comes with a free month, but beyond that requires a subscription

jovial stratus
#

ohh shit i didnt know that i mean fuck its worth it

wintry chasm
#

xD

quartz shale
#

did... did you read the description on the PSN store before buying it?

jovial stratus
#

and i was wondering if i decide to play on pc does all my stuff transfer?

quartz shale
#
Includes 30-day free play period.

*User Registration and Service subscription required to play the Game. 
#

yes and no on that

wintry chasm
#

You'd need to buy the game again on PC but everything transfers

quartz shale
#

^

faint flare
#

Your character is useable

whole wasp
#

@cunning palm that may be so but msq gates all further dungeons. if you are level 30 doing level 20 dungeons because you havent unlocked higher dungeons. its unsustainable.

faint flare
#

But you'll need to redo most hud/keybinds

jovial stratus
#

oh so all my saves and dlc transfer?

faint flare
#

Only character

slate arrow
#

saves yes dlc no

quartz shale
#

there are no saves

wintry chasm
#

You'd need to buy the game again on PC

faint flare
#

You need tk rebuy the gamr and dlc over agaib

wintry chasm
#

This includes DLCs

jovial stratus
#

oh ok

faint flare
#

Including all future dlc

twilit arch
#

You can back up your ps4 settings to apply them on pc

faint flare
#

So you're double buying all the time

twilit arch
#

for hud, etc

burnt spear
#

so my friend bought the game from Steam and when he got to the part where he had to input the mail confirmation code, the launcher spits i2501 at him

jovial stratus
#

oh ok well thanks for the help @everyone

burnt spear
#

is there any remedy for this?

tough wolf
#

Are trust duties considerably slower?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Average 30mins+

tough wolf
#

Ah OK, thanks!

gloomy ice
#

As for the i2501 error, the only thing that seems to work is to give it a break for a time and try again later.

burnt spear
#

weird, he literally doesn't even have an account yet and they nuked him

@uncut girder click on your crafters under the classes menu

man I don't think he'd like being told to just not play after shelling out his money, but thanks anyway

gloomy ice
#

Mogstation is kind of cobbled together. Takes some patience. Doesnโ€™t quite excuse the errors however but there isnโ€™t much more that can be done but wait.

yeah, I'll forward it to him

he'd probably google it and try some dumb crap about registering with phone 4G but eh

hey im trying to help a friend install the game for few weeks already
we get an error on his pc that we cant solve

please help

It sounds like windows itself fucked up

#

You might need to reinstall Windows?

#

@tender estuary

analog elk
#

maybe :\ but he says he installed the windows 2 months ago

uncut girder
#

@slate arrow ty4m

slate arrow
#

I've had it happen before where my windows install made it so I couldn't install steam for the longest time

#

I wouldn't put it out of the realm of possibility

analog elk
#

if you ask me i think that he installed windows badly and something messed up in his system but he insist he installed it fresh 2 months ago :<

#

i've tried many solutions online but none helped

tender estuary
#

you could try repairing windows

#

do 2 of these commands

#

open up an admin command prompt

#

type sfc /scannow

#

let that run, then run chkdsk /f /r

#

chkdsk will make you restart if it finds faults and will repair it before it reboots into windows

slate arrow
#

@analog elk that's what happened with me as well. Computers are fickle things and people aren't perfect. There's nothing wrong with reinstalling windows

analog elk
#

alright i guess no other solution

leaden ginkgo
#

@analog elk pls do what @tender estuary suggested first

analog elk
#

alright we are trying it now

leaden ginkgo
#

hi im creating a character but i dont see classes like bard, dark knight etc ( PS: im new so i dont understand the job system haha)

faint flare
#

Those aren't starter jobs

#

You can only start as the classes you see

little swift
#

the classes have a job advancement quest at level 30

#

once you get past the lvl20 MSQ as well

#

every other job like dark knight/red mage don't have a related class

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh i see, thanks!

#

๐Ÿ˜„

little swift
#

of those you can't start as a rogue because you need to be lvl10 and finished a class quest up to the equivalent level

#

so if you're interested in rogue (and by proxy, Ninja) start as Arcanist or Marauder, they are in the same starting city

leaden ginkgo
#

oh cool! also i'm playing with a friend of mine and we'd like to be in the same'' city ''as you've mentioned before

#

is that possible? or only if we choose classes that start in the same city

twilit arch
#

if you want to start in the same city, you needt o choose classes that start there

#

that said, the story does meet up at around lv 15 or so

leaden ginkgo
#

ohhh alright

#

Question, can i get edenchoir with the tokens i get from normal eden gate?

#

do they share the same tokens

#

Ugh, my question is too complicated, ican't think of a good grammar for this @_@

twilit arch
#

no, edenchoir is from savage

#

edencall is from the normal mode tokens

leaden ginkgo
#

Eden call is from normal mode of "Verse" ?

twilit arch
#

yes, edencall gear is from the normal version of Eden's Verse

#

edenchoir is from the savage mode of it

leaden ginkgo

where can i get neo-ishgardian gear?

Can i craft them?

is edencall best for taking on e#s actually lol

Cool ty

#

me and bf about to make characters, should we do preferred server on crystal group? does it matter? id rather a populated one

mossy current
#

Preferred means a larger bonus to EXP

#

Any server is populated, but some places are almost always bare tbh

#

Preferred servers give a 100% bonus to experience gain

junior yacht

^ all the way up to level 70

I'll never forget when I joined Midgard. And it became preferred right after smh

you can choose from crystal aether or primal btw

Grand Company FAQ
Info

'Which Grand Company should I choose?'

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies

Lieutenant
Elite

'How do I get Grand Company Seals?'

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.

whole stump
#

oh i was reading somewhere that primal or aether is better cause its easier to find pf groups, idk though, im just reading stuff on reddit, and its a post from 10 months ago

little swift
#

its all the same

mossy current
#

Well don't worry about that unless you want to get deep into end game content

little swift
#

there's bias on groups for endgame content

but its doable everywhere

So ekhem...
I'm new to the game, i've asked today a lot of question and compared FFXIV to many games, but i decided to give it a try anyway, as a Conjurer
And I think...I kinda hit the wall now?
Like, i'm literally at the begining but fighting mobs takes ages - and to add this, solo leveling feels kinda like a chore without end?
I really liked or even loved the world, design, music - or the community at first
but that damn thing, it scares me pepehands RemHmph
Any...suggestion what I could do?

slate arrow
#

are you doing the MSQ

#

if you're not doing the MSQ

#

do the MSQ

languid zinc
#

Mostly, and side quests too

slate arrow
#

what level?

#

once you're level 15 you want to use your highest dungeon for EXP

languid zinc
#

I see,
The quests amount is kinda overwhelming tbh
And the fetch quests here are not that enjoyable like in any other, even more "wodden" games because of loadings between areas or travling from one end to another

slate arrow
#

1: side quests are not for leveling

languid zinc
#

I saw that there are some Chocobo mounts, once you hit 10 lv? or at least they have services of some kind

slate arrow
#

exp gains in dungeons used to be worse off before now

#

so before they may have been viable

#

but nowdays you just want to follow the MSQ

#

and unlock dungeons for EXP

#

don't do every sidequest you see

#

that's an easy way to burn out

languid zinc
#

I see, so focus to main quests

slate arrow
#

Also, chocobo porters are unlocked at a fairly early level, but getting a chocobo itself is locked behind the MSQ

languid zinc
#

So you can't skip this anyway then, nice

slate arrow
#

everything is locked behind the MSQ

#

so the sooner you knock that out of the way the more access you get to everything else

languid zinc
#

bluequest msq are what I should be interested in?

slate arrow
#

yes, mostly

#

you can ignore class unlock quests for now

languid zinc
#

what are the Blue quests?
class unlocks?

#

Yeah, i want to "master" one class first

slate arrow
#

blue unlock quests are content unlock quests

languid zinc
slate arrow
#

anything from unlocking other classes to unlocking dungeons and misc. content

#

like the Gold Saucer

#

or the Challenge Log

languid zinc
#

Hm hm hm
Okay
last questions for now?
Should I find some kind of guild? how to they exactly works, these Fellowships and Free Companies?
What's the difference?

#

And about xmogs/glamour - where and when?

slate arrow
#

Free Companies are the equivalent of a Guild from WoW

#

Fellowships are just messageboards

#

glamour is unlocked when you get to the Waking Sands

#

well, can be unlocked. It's behind a level 15 bluequest

languid zinc
#

got it, thanks for info

I am wondering, how do you go about leveling other jobs?
There's a finite ammount of quests, right? so how do people level their 2nd, 5th, 10th job...?

Dungeon spamming, for the most part.

#

Jobs below your highest level job also get a 50% or 100% experience boosting depending on your level

how many legs from the edens verse u need for the legs at the vendor and what ilvl are they?

Whenever I try to open the game, it brings me to a screen that tells me to enter my registration key, but when I enter either keys it says invalid, I don't understand why though

And are you trying to enter a code for the starter edition, shadowbringers, or the complete edition?

"Buy FINAL FANTASY XIV Online Complete Edition" this is what I bought

Alright, but my account says this

#

I bought the game through steam

obsidian patio
#

Are you able to do โ€œtransfer to regular serviceโ€?

It says I can, and I go through the steps til I reach here

Alright

tender estuary
#

If you got a non working key contact steam support and request a new key

#

I also think if you are upgrading the trial account it has to be a steam trial account too

twilit arch
#

no

tender estuary
#

oh alright

twilit arch
#

you can be non steam account and go to full steam

#

its only steam trial that locks you into steam

tender estuary
#

then yeah just contact steam support, if you right click the game and view keys I dont see why it wouldnt work but I've gotten a bad key before on origin so its possible

obsidian patio
#

Googling isnโ€™t being much help as itโ€™s mainly showing non-steam users with the base game trying to register expansions from steam

tender estuary
#

I dont own XIV on steam but

#

if you go to support

#

then it should have an option "I am having problems with a CD key"

#

if that doesnt work you will have to contact SE and provide them with the cd key steam gave you

leaden ginkgo
#

I contacted them at 11am, its been hours and no one has answered me

tender estuary
#

@twilit arch is SE support still going? I dunno if they shut everything down cause of covid 19

twilit arch
#

NA i think is still up

Only text and chat support are down IIRC

Because of Covid they stopped their service for some time

Hi, I'm looking for a group of people to do trials and dungeons at lv.50, some of them are really impossible to do with the duty finder, for example I waited like 100mins the Binding Coil of Bahamut. Should I join in a free company? But I'm afraid to join a company that will focus on lv.80 stuffs, I have no idea how FC usually organize their plans etc. Any advices?
Moreover, any italian community out there?

@twilit minnow It puts an indigo star above your head for a few seconds. It's a firework

People donโ€™t really run extreme/savage raid content in the duty finder. Youโ€™re much better off trying to do it in party finder.

As for an Italian community, Iโ€™m not personally aware of any โ€œunofficialโ€ server for them

I arranged my hud to my liking, but now i don't see the lock on my skillbars anymore.
How can i rearrange my skills onto my newly set bars?

I have the "drag and drop repositioning" enabled but it doesn't do anything

rain egret
#

if i log in right now, then logout, it will require the password once again....., it doesnt make sense....

obsidian patio
#

If you have the authenticator registered youโ€™ll always need to use it

rain egret
#

wtf, then it isnt a one-time password..., its more like "always password"

obsidian patio
#

@proven finch the lock is located on your first hotbar so search for that one in the hud layout

#

Itโ€™s one-time as in you generate a password thatโ€™s only used once.

why so many recomend buying ff14 outside of steam? steam would be easier for me...

If steam is easier, then get it on steam

Hey folks, currently in Twintania but looking to transfer to Spriggan. Are they still classed as new worlds? If so can I transfer for free even if I am going from one new world to another. Not currently subbed to be able to check so wondering if anyone has any information, thanks ๐Ÿ™‚

verbal obsidian
#

You have to do everything on Steam or nothing on Steam, you can't mix them.

#

Since you have to use the Mogstation on the site anyways it's usually easier to just do it standalone.

#

But I can not stress this enough: If you buy it on Steam, buy everything on Steam .

#

Standalone codes do not work on Steam, Steam codes do not work on standalone.

obsidian patio
#

@cloud oak nope, theyโ€™re not considered new worlds anymore.

cloud oak
#

Ahh rip, thanks

thick bolt
#

is their a way to disable the additional random damage numbers? just have mines and my healing numbers?

obsidian patio
#

Disable pop-up text in character config.

dusk zenith
#

is there an option to only show status ailments you inflict?

obsidian patio
#

Yes, but I personally donโ€™t recommend it so you can know when your party members are using their group damage/mitigation skills.

#

Should be in UI settings.

#

Also your buffs/debuffs are always the first ones on the target.

mossy current
#

Knowing when the NIN has vul on is important imo

#

And more

dusk zenith
#

ohhh true

#

i just thought it would be easier to know when to apply dots as smn

forest inlet
#

i cant rotate them but id like them to be oriented in the other direction

ocean granite
#

how do i talk to the character in game when doing the quest

#

by which button

obsidian patio
#

Talking to NPCs? Should just be left-click or X for controllers

verbal obsidian
#

Cross or A on controller to be clear.

mossy current
#

But if there is anything specific about the quest, be specific yourself please

timber condor
#

Hi I come from Classic WoW and I wanna get into this game. Is there a class I can play that is similar to combat rogue? Like a sword fighter that relies more on agility and cunning than brutish strength.

fervent bloom
#

Is it possible to make a whole different HUD layout? without sharing it with the other layout i already have?

mossy current
#

Layout, yes, under HUD Layout. You can size things as you want and place them wherever

#

Ohh

#

Nvm

#

I see what you mean

#

Macros maybe?

fervent bloom
#

Macro-ing the entire layout? O_O

mossy current
#

Not completely sure but I've seen some people do see neat HUD changes with Macros

devout dock
#

I have a question, If I own up to stormblood on pc, and I upgrade it to shadowbringers on pc. Will I have to buy shadowbringers on ps4 to play my account? I currently own a complete edition of neverwinter disc for my ps4

#

I forgot the name of the original expansion /facepalm

mossy current
#

A Realm Reborn

fervent bloom
#

@timber condor since the mechanics of the game are different, i think you're looking for Ninja if you want movement

obsidian patio
#

There's also Pugilist/Monk if you want a class with a pretty fast GCD

mossy current
#

Monk are fast Bois

#

Especially with GL4

obsidian patio
#

They sit around a 1.9 second GCD once they got their full toolkit.

mossy current
#

Once you go there, GL3 in Level 70 below content hurts

#

@devout dock but ye you need to buy Shadowbringers again on PS4

obsidian patio
#

@devout dock yes you'll need to buy the expansion again for PS4, as liscenes are platform-specific.

mossy current
#

You can still play on the account, but you can't do anything ShB-related

fervent bloom
#

So i'm guessing there's no way to make a completely new HUD without touching my main one ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

devout dock
#

is shadowbringers worth hopping into currently? or should I wait for the next big thing?

obsidian patio
#

You can save it to one of the 4 presets and then mess with another preset

#

Next expansion won't be until like june/july of next year.

#

You definitely have more than enough time to enjoy it.

mossy current
#

When do you think they'll reveal it?

verbal obsidian
#

@timber condor For combat Rogue? Honestly you'd probably enjoy SAM or DRG more than NIN or MNK.

#

The issue with NIN is that it's visually similar to Rogue, but it's very high APM and more of a party support. It also has Invoker's skillset tacked on as a bonus. MNK is super positional heavy so you'd like it as a Subtlety Rogue.

obsidian patio
#

reveal the next expansion? probably not until like the middle of 5.4 at the minimum

fervent bloom
#

But some of my hotbars are shared, is there a way to make another HUD without touching my shared hotbars EX. HUD 1 (my main) i want to make a HUD 2 for my crafters but when i touch my other hotbars they get removed from HUD 1 ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

obsidian patio
#

The main story arc for this expansion isn't even done yet.

verbal obsidian
#

DRG has a bit more static of a rotation and SAM has a really free flowing rotation especially when you're working up in content, so that's your big choice. Either way I'd just start DRG on your new character.

mossy current
#

I guess

timber condor
#

I was thinking in terms of vibe and aesthetic too in addition to play style

verbal obsidian
#

Well if you also happen to like Invoker from DotA or Nine from BBCF, you'll like NIN for sure.

#

Either way you can't start as a ROG => NIN, you have to start as another job until 10.

mossy current
#

Is SSS (the dummies in kolusia) a good way to measure DPS for current tier fights?

obsidian patio
#

!faq sss

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS
Info
  1. SSS does not account for a jobโ€™s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
  2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
  3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
  4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
  5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
  6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
  7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk
mossy current
#

Ah ty

obsidian patio
#

It's good for practicing rotation on, though.

mossy current
#

Seems so

obsidian patio
#

but yeah, some SSS are seemingly overtuned/undertuned for their fight.

forest inlet
#

its good for trying out openers on since you can reset cooldowns by leaving and going back in

#

other than that not a good measure of anything

obsidian patio
#

I remember Shinryu normal SSS being very overtuned for most jobs if you did it at the minimum ilvl

oak ice
#

I think one of the Auspice dummies also was stupidly overtuned for tanks

mossy current
#

Do they ever fix it?

#

Or is it just overlooked

forest inlet
#

they dont really go back to switch them

#

jobs also get changed along the way

mossy current
#

I see

oak ice
#

Ya, 5.0 introduced potency increases across the board

mossy current
#

On that note, what would be a good way to measure DPS?

oak ice
#

Downloading ACT and testing yourself in raids

mossy current
#

On PS4?

#

I would if my PC was working lol

oak ice
#

Get a friend on PC haha

valid idol
#

does act work everywhere?

oak ice
#

What do you mean everywhere? In sub 80 content? Yes

ACT takes the battle log and runs calculations on it to determine what the current DPS is

little walrus
#

does newgame+ let you replay class quests? I just finally decided to do my 60-70 DRK quests for the ability and oh my god i want to spend the next 24 hours replaying the 70 quest over and over and over and over and over and over

obsidian patio
#

Not currently, but they have mentioned it as something they want to add.

#

My personal guess is that they're also reworking ARR Class quests with the 5.3 ARR quest rework.

little walrus
#

ugh, i shouldn't have clicked complete on that quest

verbal obsidian
#

I'm not going to lie, ACT is the only thing that makes low level duties bearable for me. lol

cedar bobcat
#

Is it possible to stop the chocobo assist timer without dismissing him entirely? I like having him in combat sometimes, but not like... when I'm standing around doing dialogue and whatnot

obsidian patio
#

it pauses when you're mounted and I think in cutscenes.

#

Though considering the price of Gysahl greens and how long they last I don't personally see it as a big issue

cedar bobcat
#

Thanks, just making sure I wasn't missing anything. It's just kind of annoying losing time when I'm walking around doing fetch quests and whatnot

wooden hemlock
#

Ok so I'm almost max, where the flip to I get materia and what kind for bard?

obsidian patio
#

Marketboard if you want it quick, otherwise you can idly get some from level 80 dungeons. You can also do ShB A and S rank hunts for materia tokens to trade for Tier 7/8 Materia.

#

for BRD melding priorities.

wooden hemlock
#

Ok thanks!

Their is suppose to be some kind of white mage staff I can get for reaching level 80, anyone know?

looked like an achievement

polar cairn
#

do fate chains break? or do you have to wait a long time for the next fate to spawn?

verbal obsidian
#

People usually just have 1 character, sometimes they have an alt or 2 for other data centers or just for RP, but hardly anyone has more than 1 serious character.

#

Since, as Azalea mentioned, you can do everything on 1 character.

obsidian patio
#

@polar cairn Some fate chains parts have a long respawn timer on them

polar cairn
#

lol it popped up as soon as you said that

thin dune
#

@forest inlet Not directly, however you can put them on a partition and then "float" it by placing it where you want, select the stairs, Disable Wall Placement, Deselect the stairs, and then moving the partition away.

polar cairn
#

how many people are needed for Archaeotania fate?

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi

obsidian patio
#

probably like 50+

leaden ginkgo
#

If I buy the steam bundle can I gift the base game if I already own the base game

obsidian patio
#

You can't separate the complete edition into pieces, if you mean that.

#

I never bought a bundle-bundle on Steam so I can't say for sure.

leaden ginkgo
#

Because the bundle is cheaper than the shadowbringers alone

#

I wonder what happens to the base game that included with the steam bundle

strange coral
#

Steam typically doesn't give you an extra copy of stuff you already own from bundles

#

It'll usually tell you that at checkout

leaden ginkgo
#

I'd hate for it to screw up something in my account

little walrus
#

@leaden ginkgo the only reason to have more characters is for RP, other servers, or multiboxing (multiple accounts) to control markets

#

as to your most recent Q, most people going in blind just make a character they like the appearance of. Many of us didnt know the games lore going in. For example had I known I might have used a miqo'te tribe name in my own name, but it hardly matters

#

i guess to answer your own question, id have to ask how hard-core of a in-lore RPer are you, and based on that you might want to have some lore knowledge to make a specific type of character, though you could always use a fantasia later if u felt the need

rare sable
#

You get free fantasia for finishing arr

#

Just make w/e you feel most pleasing rn

little walrus
#

^^

verbal obsidian
#

I must have fantasia'd like 4 times before landing on my current character that I've had for a solid year and even have emotes of.

#

Don't worry about getting it perfect first try.

polar cairn
#

why do fate chains repeat?

little walrus
#

so other people can experience them as well

polar cairn
#

wait are you talking to me

#

no i mean like

#

there are 7 steps in a fate chain

#

but after the 5th it repeats

#

why does it do that

obsidian patio
#

the 6th is on a long respawn timer

#

so it won't always pop

polar cairn
#

so how in the

shrewd relic
#

Is there a better way to farm seals for ARR mount speeds?

#

Hunts are confusing, especially searching for elite bills or having to find mobs that spawn only through fates

wintry chasm
#

if you get blue mage to level 50 you can do masked carnival that gives you all the seals you could ever need

shrewd relic
#

omg

wintry chasm
#

but you need to learn specific blue mage skills to do some of the carnival fights

shrewd relic
#

is this a life hack

#

how any seals do they give?

#

i gotta look this up ๐Ÿ˜„

wintry chasm
#

You have...what, 25 fights?

#

I don't know the exact number but you can literally buy all the ARR maps with it

#

if you finish it all

raven sage
#

It should be 30 now

shrewd relic
#

Ooh okay so I saw a picture

raven sage
#

At least if you go all the way to 60

shrewd relic
#

typically 100 each?

#

@wintry chasm you're a lifesaver

#

this is exactly what I needed to know

strange coral
#

The first 5 give 50. Then 100 for the others except the 25th which gives 200. That's for first time completion. And then the weekly challenges give 100, 150, and 300

shrewd relic
#

@strange coral wdym weekly challenges? Even after I complete all of the I can redo them for more seals?

#

๐Ÿ˜„

open coral
#

There is a bluequest in the Adventurer's Guild in Limsa Lominsa which will unlock a weekly challenge log.

#

There are a variety of objectives which can be completed each week (they're always the same objectives for each category) for experience and various relevant currency (gil, wolf marks, GC seals, etc.)

strange coral
#

Yes. The challenges add extra requirements though, such as take no damage, use no healing, use less than 5 spells, etc.

shrewd relic
#

Ahh okay I see

#

So when I unlock masked carnival will it add that to my challenge log?

strange coral
#

Although the one for 100 seals always has no extra requirements.

raven sage
#

Those aren't in the challenge log

open coral
#

The BLU stuff is in its own log, the BLU log

#

Which can be found in the Blue Magic spellbook

shrewd relic
#

I see okay that makes sense!

open coral
#

The challenges that Aril'thae was talking about though, I think are the ones that you can see in the Masked Carnivale fights list. Fights with a challenge have a special mark next to them in the list.

shrewd relic
#

Nice okay I'm gonna start working on that asap

#

I know that gems are typically pretty easy to get mount speeds cause you can just farm fates

#

But how are centurio seals?

open coral
#

Also pretty easy. Just do daily hunts.

wintry chasm
#

you get those from the HW and SB hunts

#

So you have two expansions to work with

#

not like they are important for expansions since you just fly everywhere though

open coral
#

^

shrewd relic
#

Okay thats awesome

#

I'll skip those then LOL

#

Do mount speeds also affect flying speeds though?

open coral
#

Nope

shrewd relic
#

smh sry noob

obsidian patio
#

nope, only ground speed

open coral
#

Flight speed is fixed.

shrewd relic
#

I bought a sds fenrir and i swear it flies faster

#

but if its fixed im wrong right?

#

O

#

๐Ÿ˜ฎ

#

The sds fenrir just adds 1 star to the ground speed?

raven sage
#

The motorcycle goes max speed on the ground regardless

#

Flight speed is always at max for all mounts

wintry chasm
#

It gets the main story speed increase by default

shrewd relic
#

motorcycle goes max speed even in places i have 0 stars?

wintry chasm
#

Not max speed

#

just that first main story increase

#

Once you get that for the rest of the mounts they all go the same speed

#

and flying is flying

shrewd relic
#

sorry a bit confused

wintry chasm
#

You can't go faster than the normal fly speed

shrewd relic
#

so

#

after finishing ARR i got +1 star

#

how does that affect motorcycle?

#

in Mor Dhona i still have 0 stars I think

wintry chasm
#

It doesn't

#

๐Ÿค”

shrewd relic
#

So if i have 0 stars in a place, will it go the same speed as my other mounts?

wintry chasm
#

Mor Dhona should have one star from memory if you did 2.0

shrewd relic
#

okay sorry not mor dhona maybe im thinking of another map LOL

#

I guess i just don't understand the speed buff on the sds fenrir

wintry chasm
#

but right look maybe this will help explain it

open coral
#

Completing the MSQ should give you 1 star ground speed in all zones.

wintry chasm
#

There are two speed increase boosts, one from main story and one from hunts

#

The fenrir basically gets the main story speed increase even if you haven't gotten far enough to actually get it

shrewd relic
#

OHH

#

okay that makes sense now!!

wintry chasm
#

But once you do the main story and get that all the mounts would go the same speed

#

since they all get the main story boost

shrewd relic
#

so i'm just imagining things when i think my fenrir is faster?

#

since i've finished msq

wintry chasm
#

Depends on the area

shrewd relic
