oh, you need a bunch of them for the HW and ARR relic weapons too if you ever want to pursue them

Will I be able to craft summoning bells and the like if I obtain Master (class) II recipe books?

echo tapir
@winged nimbus oh good!
gritty oracle
@snow dock One good use of poetics is getting Scaevan shield/accessories and turning them in for GC seals
echo tapir
@gritty oracle idk but i just check what the book gives me before i buy those
gritty oracle
They can't be bought, they have to be earnt.
echo tapir
well
snow dock
What can i use GC seals for?
whole wasp
@gritty oracle i dont think you need master recipe book for summoning bells
echo tapir
@snow dock the gc has a vendor
whole wasp
thats just a lvl 50 recipe from BSM iirc
echo tapir
yea im not seeing summoning bell as a recipe-needed thing either
most of those books are gonna make you cool glamour though? if you still wanted to get all of them.
it's not hard
gritty oracle
You can buy ventures, cordials, umm aetheryte tickets (saving gil)
echo tapir
jsut completionism
gritty oracle
Ah, thanks
echo tapir
GC seals are valuable for later when you want to buy anima weapon quest stuff too.
people use it for that to cut down on gil cost
whole wasp
theres some emotes/minions in the GC quartermaster. i buy dark matter too but i have crafters
echo tapir
i bought cool furniture like a ceiling fan from GC vendor
lol
they have some neat shit here and there
gritty oracle
Most important GC things are ventures, imo. Or cordials if you can't craft your own (watered) ones.

I was told that when playing with controller you can add an extra controller hotbar, and was wondering if anyone knows how to do this

Under character config and should be under one of the controller sections
Enable the Expanded hotbar and the WXHB
Which are the L2+R2 hotbars abd doublr tap trigger respectively

@whole wasp why do you want to level up different classes? never looked into doing this?

@frank wigeon if you have a tank/healer friend then highest level dungeon spam

it looked fun so i did
bronze sorrel
if not you can do potd from 50-60, then hoh from 61-70
also make sure to do your roulettes everyday
serene rock
what's hoh?
bronze sorrel
heaven on high
zinc orbitBOT
bronze sorrel
basically potd but stormblood edition
frank wigeon
thank you i will do potd, the queue time for regular dungeon and duty roulette is tough
bronze sorrel
also you can look into beast tribe quests
those give a decent chunk of exp as well
can do those during queue for roulettes

strife hair still exists to be acquired?

it was a fanfest reward
expected to be on the mogstation eventually but not yet afaik
leaden ginkgo
fanfest meaning given in person?
Daym, This is a good time for se to release it in mog then
warped nest
Fanfest means it is either email to you with your ticket
Or you claim it there somehow
Either or, very exclusive for the time being
leaden ginkgo
But at the very least, what's the most limited item in game rn? i mean, i heared that they bring back event items thru selling it in mog. So what's something that is never gonna be sold there?

maybe the PvP league awards?
forest laurel
do you mean like, the rarest item?

i think the legacy tatoos maybe?

Another pretty rare "item" are the titles for doing HoH and PoTD solo

if you cant wear them, you can desynth them if you have a crafter, sell them to your Grand company for GC seals or just vendor them
open coral
Or if you like the appearances and plan on leveling a compatible job in the future, you can save them for glamour.

No
There's not technically any "vendor trash" in this game except for the tokens that are given as quest rewards in place of extra gil.

Hey
rancid cradle
Where do i input my friends recruit a friend code to redeem it?
lyric bane
Mog station under your account
rancid cradle
I started playing like 3 months ago can i still enter a recruit a friend code?
or would it have to be a brand new account
lyric bane
Not sure. If you have the option it should still be fine.
rancid cradle
i dont see the option though π¦
lyric bane
Actually, I do know the answer to this for sure. It only works during the first 30 days during the "free" period that comes with purchase of the game itself
rancid cradle
Ohhhh okey thanks

the requirement is that you havent bought game time yet. the free 30 days dont count

If sds fenrir is account wide
if i delete my only character

lyric bane
When you accept a sidequest in a party does the whole party get it or do you each need to collect it?

each of you needs to collect it

Okay, so there's not much assistance in terms of cohesion when it comes to parties?

Not reallt

We're all just finishing up the envoy mission so we can start partying together.

low plank
what is the best way to get poetics?
oak ice
Roulettes, and then spam Aetherochemical Research Facility or Ghimlyt Dark would probably be high up
Getting into content with first timers is also a great source
low plank
should i level up a healer to make it the most efficient? bc of queue timers?
oak ice
You could, but then you'd spend a lot of time not getting poetics while you level it
If you're in an FC you can unsync the Alex raid for lowbies
low plank
can u explain that please?
oak ice
You fire up a squad with someone who has never done the Alexander raid story, and then you solo all the fights for him
It's 1200 poetics for the whole thing
This, of course, assumes you're strong enough to solo it. Which level are you?
low plank
lv 72 just finished SB

Hmm. Then yeah, roulettes would probably be your best bet

dusk plover
So the golden saucer is basically a gambling house for fun?
whole wasp
Yup
open coral
Yep. The Golden Saucer is basically the same as it is in FFVII. It's an entire zone filled with minigames that uses its own currency and contributes nothing to overall game progression.
You can get some interesting titles, cosmetics, and collectibles there, though.
dusk plover
I just won 2x 10k jackpots on some free currency
So decided to bail while my luck was good :p
open coral
You will almost never come out of the Gold Saucer games at a deficit.

Never played a FF game until this one
So i'm lvl 25 doing the lvl 25 CNJ questline omw to the 30 WHM questline but the MSQ is only lvl 15
I'm guessing this is just how it is due to changes and expansions on the game?

Wdym good skill?

Never played a FF game until this one
@dusk plover no way! a lot of people would recommend ff VII but i personally prefer FF 8

For example you need lvl 15 done to even get your first dungeon.

@whole wasp So MSQ all the way

Yup.

Wdym good skill?
@oak ice like trade

potions, etc...

Am i right in saying after getting WHM quest done its pretty much a point levelling system after that?

You can consider getting a 2nd class as well to soak up the exp if you would like tol

usually unlocks stuff in general. You can skip them if you want. They wont go away.

I'm doing as well as and class quests but my actual lvl is skyrocketing over the MSQ level

thanks @whole wasp

Yea it happens tefty. Road to 70 is strong. It doubles all sources of exp even stuff thay normally wouldnt like quest exp.

Is there anything outside of the challenge book that worth really going for on the optionals?
At the moment that is

yeah been doing that as well
whole wasp
Yeah. There is a tab for your GC as well as your class
dusk plover
GC ?
dusk plover
lol this is where that lvl to MSQ level kicks in i think
whole wasp
Ohright he hasnt reached 20 MSQ yet.
Wait, that means you dont even have a chocobo too.
open coral
Yeah. Definitely do your MSQ with the highest priority @dusk plover
whole wasp
Oof.
open coral
Your first priority should always be
dusk plover
I'll stick to MSQ and ignore the for now then
open coral
are a distant second, especially under level 30 or so, since all the early ones unlock are other jobs.
dusk plover
Thanks all β€οΈ
open coral
After level 30 you'll start seeing that unlock additional functions in the game like the glamour and dye systems, non-MSQ leveling dungeons like Halatali and Aurum Vale, and raids after level 50.
lament wagon
you unlock glamour at 15 don't you
open coral
@dusk plover The one you should absolutely make sure to do though, is the one to unlock challenge logs in The Drowning Wench (Limsa Lominsa adventurer's guild).
dusk plover
Is that the Rising to the challenge?
open coral
It may be 15? It's available whenever you make it to Vesper Bay for the first time.
Yeah, that should be the one Tefty
dusk plover
I've been looking for that one for 10 levels until I realised I needed MSQ lvl 15
Not actual lvl 15 π
open coral
Yeah
MSQ level is going to gate you on a lot of stuff.
Which is why it should always be your highest priority. π
dusk plover
Yeah that why i think i've been confused
I started following some and ended up in the golden saucer
dusk plover
And after an hour in there thought "hmmm.... maybe time to focus on just the story and not unlocking all these bits"
open coral
I mean, you can unlock all the side content.
It's not required to progress through the story, but it can be fun!
dusk plover
Well i did win 20k and then brought a weekly lottery ticket
π lol
And have now just rode a chocobo ? for the first time
So making headway
open coral
The weekly Cactpot it's worth buying 3 tickets with different numbers. At minimum you'll win the consolation prize, which is always around 1000 MGP. Since you only spend up to 250 MGP per ticket, it's worth the investment and gets you pretty steady weekly gains (provided you remember to cash the tickets in before the next drawing).

It's not so different, really. The game will pop up tutorials for any new function you encounter to explain what they are and how they work. Just follow the and you'll learn as you go.

Love it. I'm stoked to get into the endgame
But I've heard the story progression is great
open coral
As an MMO, Final Fantasy is more story driven than most.
nova ridge
Yeah that's what I'm after
open coral
It starts out a little slow (because that's how JRPGs work - you start out as a nobody and adventure around the world getting involved in trouble as you get stronger and stronger), but when the plot really kicks in it does so with a vengeance.

Are there any sort of useful tips at the beginning besides making sure to get keybinds / camera controls set correctly>?
open coral
The most useful tip is: Follow your

Got it
lament wagon
by default in the top left corner you have your next main quest and class quest
do them
nova ridge
Thanks for the help!
open coral
will unlock additional system content (other jobs, glamour and dye, alternative dungeons, and raids), but you don't need to do them iminently.
nova ridge
It sounds like the game is very helpful for noobs like myself
open coral
Yeah, there's a lot of handholding to get you started, so it's not bad.
Very new player friendly.
And since you have experience with other quest-and-objective-based games, you should be able to intuit how the quest guidance works.
nova ridge
yeah being 3 hours into it as of now it is about as straightforward as it gets
Just didn't know if there were any gotchas to look out for (items to hold onto, what's safe to sell, etc)
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
Once you reach a certain rank with your Grand Company (selected as part of the around level 20) you will be able to exchange high quality 
and pink or green gear for Grand Company seals.
But it won't hurt you if you choose to sell your gear instead.

Likewise you can choose to hold onto all of the material items you pick up and use them down the road if/when you start leveling crafting jobs.
Or you can sell them off.
nova ridge
Thankfully there's a lot of inventory space from the get-go. Hopefully wont run into too much of a problem. But thanks for the heads up!

There's nothing like hidden keys you hold on to or anything as egregious as original FFXIIs trap chests preventing you from getting the Zodiac Spear.

@noble plank All three NA data centers are physically located in California so any of the three will work. There's no, like, regional hub or anything as far as I'm aware. Pick whichever one you like.

Artistic, Aether, Primal and Crystal are fine for NA

So, just roll a d3 then?

Why not
mossy current
Aether - Midgardsormr sounds cool

Are they all pretty well populated? Like are some more casual or rp friendly?

Hmm, might give that a shot then.
mossy current
Aether just seems to be there

One more sorta quick question, how tough is it to figure out a healer/more support oriented or tank class?
mossy current
Both are generally easy if you have good teamwork
Healing takes practice and tanking takes timing
When to heal, when to prepare for a tankbuster, etc
How to manage pulls
gloomy ice
Conjurer/White Mage is the easiest healer to learn bar none with the lowest APM in the game. Scholar and Astrologian are slightly more complicated but still relatively easy to get in to.
mossy current
APM?
gloomy ice
Least buttons to press π
faint flare
Actions per minute
mossy current
Ah
leaden ginkgo
You press the heal button do big heal
gloomy ice
Tanks are, yeah, more about learning timings than anything really complicated. Aggro management is a non-issue. It's just knowing when to use your defense buffs.
leaden ginkgo
get pats on the back
I really plan on dropping everything and maining astrologian when I can
It looks too fucking cool
noble plank
I really like the aesthetic of bard and dancer
mossy current
Ranged DPS!
Both are support-ish, but DNC moreso
DNC uses dances to keep up an attack boost on another player and yourself. Another dance you get at 70 applies a similar buff to all party members
Bard uses Damage over Time skills to Active special effects in the 3 different songs you can play, that all impact the party's stats in a small way
noble plank
So, should I just pick one to start out with? I know i can eventually swap between every class, but would any of the starter classes really impact the opening of the game?
mossy current
You can only start out with Bard
Dancer is unlocked at level 60 and by completing the unlock quest in Limsa Lominsa
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
A question for any Black Mages: How did you make it through Shadowbringers? I find that I'm barely able to withstand the damage that the creatures in the open world map put out and you don't have a lot of spellcasting time before they're literally mobbing you.

There are minor story differences depending on your starting class. As in class effects which city you start in and each city has its own story to start before all converge at level 15. @noble plank
gloomy ice
But it is really minor and you're not missing too much by picking one city over another.
noble plank
Ok, I think I might just look at the aesthetics a bit more a choose which ever speaks more to me. Thank you!

I think there's only like 2 cutscenes in this game that actually appear if you're a specific class.

About the same length as the Heavensward ones
If you're so eager about getting to ShB then you shouldn't skip @leaden ginkgo

If you're that excited to do the ShB story then ruining the ShB story by skipping goes against what you want

is there a way to make the speech bubbles in cutscenes bigger?
proud willow
If you go to System Configuration - Display Settings and change High Resolution UI Settings to 150% or 200%, it'll increase the size of everything. And then you can scale the rest of the HUD back down. I think that might be the only way.
gloomy ice
You can right click the dialogue bubbles and resize them from there. I don't know if it saves permanently or resets every time you log but it's there

Hello, is there a distant restriction with the marriage teleport?
vast thistle
Hi, I just hit lvl 19 and started playing a couple days ago. I'm playing gladiator and I hope I can eventually play a tank build. Is there a job that is recommended i get? I'm not sure how they work yet but I can google the rest.
wheat lark
Classes lead to specific jobs. So, you can become a gladiator at level 30. Some jobs have different requirements like the dark knight, a tank with the great sword.
twilit arch
the only restriction i know of for the marriage teleport is that you have to be able to fly in that zone if its a flying zone to be able to teleport there
vale fable
Gladiator gets the paladin job at level 30 which is an excellent tank class, youβll have to unlock up to a certain point in your msq to have access to the level 30 jobs though so stick with your msq for now.
native ingot
So if I see someone who is a good guy and doesn't have a fc is it intrusive to ask him to join the fc I'm in?

So from what ive heard it doesn make a difference where i play the game but what would you recommend.
Playing the game through steam or playing the game through the windows edition?
visual heath
twilit arch
the main difference between steam and non-steam is that you're locked into purchasing from steam for any and all future expansions
steam also allows you to use steam wallet to pay for sub and optional items

Hey guys, how do I know where my grand company is?

@leaden ginkgo Look for a blue exclamation point on your map that will most likely get a key item back if you need it for a quest
I dont need it lol
then no
what are you trying to get back
lol I forgot what, just wondering if theres something like calamity that can give it back
obsidian patio
@wheat lark look in Character > Character > Profile. That should show your current grand company
leaden ginkgo
wow, I can't even remember what I just tossed
twilit arch
key items are pretty much only quest items or items like hunt bills
obsidian patio
Maelstrom = Limsa Upper decks
Twin Adders = New Gridania
Immortal Flames = UlβDah Steps of Nald

there was one hunt bill
that I tossed
then tossed another one but he looked important

obsidian patio
You can get the compass back from a few NPCs
wheat lark
Level 17... so that might be why
twilit arch
yeah, if you did you can talk to Gaufrid in Rhaglr's Reach or Gibrillont in the forgotten knight in ishgard
to get it back
obsidian patio
Level 50 after completing base ARR story

Ohh thanks. For some reason my bf read you could at level 17

According to the page, you can recruit a friend, but the free days won't count in the reward length, they would have to purchase days themselves in order for you to start getting rewards. for it.
twilit arch
Should be able to generate a code once you've bought the game, even if you're on the 30 days
should be a "recruit a friend" image, though if you're using adblock or something might need to turn it off to see it
cold yew
I believe it's just in the mog station, there is no interaction that needs to happen in game.
twilit arch
just generate the code and give it to whomever
they then put it into mogstation
you can only generate a code every so often (think its like once an hour or so?)
but outside of that, no limit on how many can be shared but you stop getting rewards after 5 recruits
ya
No offers should involve the trading of real cash in any way. The offering of in game services or time cards is acceptable but please be careful not to get yourself scammed.
that's what they mean in regards to being careful of scams
correct, its only people who've not yet subbed the game who can use the code
i.e people on their 30 days free like you atm

raven copper
(also because I'll never be able to afford $100 + $18/mo)
twilit arch
you bought the complete edition from SE store?
dry tree
yeah
twilit arch
you'd have to make a new service account
north venture
How to know what a certain quest actually unlocks? (talking about blue quests)
twilit arch
can't use SE code with an account that has steam on it
since steam and non steam fills the same pc license, you're either steam or you're not. So you can still use that mogstation account, but you'd have to make a new service account under it (and effectively be starting all over)
dry tree
Aight, thx so much for the input >o<
Im alright starting over, I only had a lvl 12 character from the free trial :P

So I created a whole new Enix account and it would only allow me to put the key under ps4

Unless you planned on playing it on PS4

and now im trying to use the key on the new one .3.
cold yew
Hmm, my bad then. Made an incorrect assumption
Is there not an option to redeem a code anywhere on the new account?
cold yew
Oh!
That's a disclaimer for playstation users!
Not saying you're using a playstation code

OH
cold yew
It's telling you that if you have a ps4, you need to do a few extra steps
dry tree
well now i just feel stupid XD
cold yew
You're fine
dry tree
now I just gotta cancel the subscription on the old account?
cold yew
Yeah, if you've been paying any money on that account, yeah
Though if it's a trial account, you will not be billed at all
cold yew
Yeah, I will warn you that you do have to install the game again through the Mog station now though sadly
I may be wrong about that, but because you've jumped off of steam, I don't think that version will work anymore

Actually, I have a question of my own. When was the update that they Removed TP?

No the gear is still visible.

Donβt remember that ever being a thing, though I wouldnβt be surprised if 1.0 made the gear vanish at 0%

Is this still a thing? You can self-repair and buff your durability %?
obsidian patio
Yes
opal lichen
Are the requirements same as a normal repair? As in you need to be lv.30? was it to repair gear?
obsidian patio
You need the appropriate crafter to be at most 10 levels below the equip level of the item
So a level 80 chest piece that specifies Weaver needs a level 70 Weaver to repair it

@random oxide you can transfer FC ownership, but you canβt convert FC housing into personal housing and vice versa
You simply make them the FC leader in the free company menu

That's okay. So it would be possible for them to do transfer the leadership to my alt? I'm just worried because the housing restrictions said 1 personal 1 fc per account or something
