@summer haven POTD
Best way to level up before you have dungeons is a mix of sidequests, hunting log, and fates
Palace of the Dead is pretty decent too if you're fine with the grindy nature of it
!faq potd
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
ok thanks.
I cleared a run in potd in 7 mins
Leveled me up like no tomorrow
from level 1?
15 is the level you get it on your main
But if it’s a alt you can start at one
It’ll still level you up a lot
You can make it from 1 to 17 in like 2 runs
Or one good run
ok cool. thanks.
No prob bob
you're aging yourself with that one xD
i leveled up 1 to 70 in one easy payment 
Hello new tank grunbreaker (lv80) here, i just wonder which materia should equip, full tenacity or mix crit/det/direct hit?
@obsidian patio whats sks
Skill Speed
oh so skill speed
then crit then dh det etc ok
To your desired GCD, yeah.
i wasnt going to worry about that until I was 80 but someoen asking hey I migth as well learn it
Gunbreaker generally wants a GCD anywhere between 2.45 and 2.38
Tbh that's something i never expected, interesting
the lower end being better/more lenient for No Mercy Windows
GCD is global cooldown I assume
Machinist burst? That's your Hypercharge windows.
cause I have my 2.50s cooldowns that are globally tied
!action heat blast
Delivers an attack with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Reduces the recast time of both Gauss Round and Ricochet by 15s
Can only be executed when firearm is Overheated.
Recast timer cannot be affected by status effects or gear attributes.

ok, now i'm trying to start to learn how to be a tank in trials, almost all the time i'm the offtank so i have to turn off Royal guard, but when i'm main tank i still don't know when i have to do tank swap and some healers asked me why i didn't swap so, what's the moment to do that?
Whats the best way to farm ishgard scrips?
the non-artisan/expert level 80 recipes
@echo charm Tank swaps aren't a thing in casual content so unless you're doing Extreme or Savage raids/trials there's little reason to do tank swaps.
But in terms of tank swaps it goes like this:
Off Tank uses provoke
Main Tank uses Shirk on Offtank
Off Tank turns on tank stance
You generally do them when the main tank is about to get hit by a tankbuster or mechanic that would make them unable to continue tanking the boss due to taking massively increased damage
alright, ty for the help
If I level a character on the trial version and get the fantasia, can I change my race into Au Ra or Viera once I get the complete edition?
Yes.
Cool, it would have felt kind of bad if I couldn't be a dragon
technically, Au Ra aren't dragon-people. They're more like lizard-people?
I can't remember the exact lore.
Nah.
I think that started as fanon from their original concept art.
How long should I wait for a preferred server to open up.
which had more stylish/voidsent-esque horns
Tbh I just thought the scales and horns are cool
Plus I play a bunch of tiefling in dnd
Best times to try to get on a preferred world is in the morning or late at night.
They come from the far east
And they believe in the dusk mother and Dawn father iirc?
Define late at night?
past midnight, usually.
Guess i can watch few guides for the moment
People have a lot of spare time nowadays with Corona happening.
I could join Zalera, but I was talking to people from Aether and they seemed pretty chill
How come i dont see the primal recruitment thing on the discord, only crystal?
Oh, where do I change it.
What you installing it?
It says its full currently
I hope you used your free trial
So you can lvl to 35 without sub
I am
im lvl 22 just got into dungeon and party unlocked. Im on the trial. I was wondeirng should i lvl crafter and all the other leatherworking stuff? "SO YOU want to be"....some peopel tell me to lvl first and then and others say lvl craft idk what to dooooooooooooo
@leaden ginkgo I’m not a crafting gal it’s not for me
But go ahead looks fun
Hello~ I just had a question about the astrologian ability Divination. i was wondering if theres 2 AST's in a group will their divinations stack?
If I have 7 days left on my sub and it expires will I still get the additional 8 days?
....
Since the campaign ends on may 17
Yuel how u make money then?
Missions and selling old weapons
theres very limited places to sink gil so it piles up eventually
I’m sitting at 189,000 gli rn
at the market place or vendors?
free login campaign is usually not eligible for people who recently pause their subscriptions
Merchants
ah i cant unlock marketplace cause of trial fuccccccccccccck
hm ok
whats ur main class?
Pause?
Dragoon
You can just do dungeon, get gears trade in gc for glam prism and sell on market 
in your case, expired subscriptions
After you fight Ifrit
Mine is still ongoing
You need to have been unsubscribed for at least a month to benefit from the free days
the main goal of a free login campaign is to entice players to resume their sub
So this is basically like a comeback campaign
No you just don’t get anymore exp
hmm ok
But you can level other classes to 35
yuel aer you on trial
you can level everything to lvl 35
Goddamn I should be a mentor I’m so helpful
you also cant progress the main quest since since its levelgated too
I was but I got the full game now
but it includes crafters and gatherers yup
I volunteer as sprout
Thats why im wondering shuold i lvl all the crafting stuff to 35? Even though some people say crafting is hell n not good for a lvl
its optional
Once I can actually get into the server
You’ll love potd
sure, but fyi you cant go back to trial once you sub
A dungeon with 200 floors
@obsidian patio @lyric quest asked a question about Astrologian's Divination, specifically, do 2 AST's divination stack or overwrite
shiett gawt dayum
they overwrite
And the floors are randomly generated
Wouldn't I get access to the bottom 3 races with fantasia if I purchased the complete edition
daaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaam
Yeah
AuRa, Viera (female only), Hothgar (male only)
what lvl r you yuel
@warped nest @obsidian patio
Ohh i see thanks so much ^^
Au Ra is Dragon race, Viera is bunny girl, Hothgar is tiger/lion hunks
47 rn
Potd is helping me through
Palace of the Dead
Palace of the Dead, which is a way to level up
it is a RNG dungeon you can do
Effective Levelling Method
The commonly accepted method for levelling in POTD is to start at floor 51 and clear to 60, then reset the save and start back at floor 51, though if you don’t have floor 51 unlocked, 1-10 is an acceptable alternative.
For HoH the principle is the same, instead you’ll be running floors 21-30 instead.
you climb floors and every 10 floors you climb, you get exp outside the dungeon
why not just complete the main quests of the epansions to get xp or is that not enough
people want to raise level for other jobs?
And if you're not on a preferred server you can't rely solely on the story for experience
I kinda want viera so I can continue to flex my height in heels in game
you'll hit a few gates here and there
ah true
usually can be managed by a roulette or two every now and then
the MSQ also runs out of steam around level 70, but there are better ways to get EXP once you're that high up
????
/doubt
doesnt the story get better with epansions
i dunno what JET was claiming there
i was talking about the EXP it provides
oh
ehhhhhhh
Yes. ARR tells a good story but it's pacing is a bit all over the place Fen
i explicitly said so, i'm not sure what the confusion is about
ye im lvl 22 now n im liking the story ngl
sweet got that storm epansion to look forward to as well
the sentece seems to imply that 70 onwards MSQ give crap exp
I mean, I pretty much hit every level gate in ShB story.
But I wasn't spamming dungeons or doing roulettes.
you can't progress through ShB's story relying exclusively on the EXP provided by the quests
i stand corrected then
i see what you mean now
happened to me once in HW
i was stuck in 58 ish trying to get in Gubal Library (lvl 69 dungeon)
All the expansions have nasty level gating but if you're on a preferred server you're pretty good for the entire game
just do roulette every now and then
Well less so HW because ARR patch length
sweet
Hall of the novice will give you a ring that will give you a exp boost until lvl 30
I think it’s only in battle
Food EXP boost is only for beating up enemies.
same for equipment that boost experience
Joining a FC will also yield exp boosters
only if they turn it on
though the brand-new ring does work on crafting and gathering stuff, IIRC.
i mentioned food because it is crazy cheap
Maybe? it only works to level 10 which goes by in a flash, though.
oh, i was thinking of the Ala Mhigan earrings, not the ring
which is all-class
But that only applies to people who pre-ordered stormblood
friendship circlet works too though its only up to 25
is the economy bad right now?
yes
not really
the in game economy is at its lowest usually before the start of a new expansion
even then there are stuff you can sell
it tends to die down right before big content updates because people are preparing for the new stuff
that too
Always hoard your materia before each major patch for big gains. 
silly question
is the whale mount worth it as a mount to flex with
or are there better flexing mounts
that depends on you, really
It is one of the biggest mounts in the game
I will see to it for purchase after I get my amazing stimulus check from the government as an essential need

@obsidian patio is it THE biggest tho
o ye seen that 1
Dhalmel is big height-wise when you're a tall race like Roegadyn or Male Au Ra
How do I get Musosai's Katana?
His entire set is your level 70 job set, from the level 70 job quest.
Oh okay. I am lvl 60.
@obsidian patio oh is that the armor set you get after doing the job quests at 70?
or tales of adventure
purchase
Hey @midnight slate I made it into Adamantoise
The job boosts don't directly give the job sets, but they do complete the level 1-70 quests so you can grab the level 50 and 70 job sets from the calamity salvager

oh shit time to find what the machinist set looks like then
the level 60 set has to be bought with Centurio Seals in Ishgard since it was previously tomestone gear.
That's the level 60 set.
youre already linking me so kind
can you dye it tho or no
or doesnt say
" Dyeable only after augmentation."
cool
not a fan of cowboy style but the 60 isnt bad
By our powers combined, i cant seem to find the stupid bell, someone help
Retainer bells? They're marked on the mini-map with a bell icon
HELLO PLEASE can i have help
in-game mentors is basically a chat channel filled with mentors and sprouts/returning players.
help pls anyone?
Go ahead and ask what you need help with.
its about relic weapons im new to the game and im really lost
Any good resources for ninja controller and HUD setups for PS4 players ?
should i even bother with 50/60s relic weapons?
In terms of usability, no.
How would I go about accessing that chat?
You can get weapons equal to their final versions with vastly less effort.
You would need to be invited to it from a mentor
Previous expansion relics are pretty much only for glamour, so that's up to you.
Glam
ok
True end game TM
Ah, okay, should I just... Pm a mentor if I can find them and ask? Or is there somewhere I can go to find one?
So these things tell me when im near the bell, then im supposed to lookout within the vicinity, but i feel like ive looked for a whilw and still cant see to find it
Idk where else to lool
what relic weapon should i go for and how do i do it?
ive came here after looking at all kind of guides which i found unhelpful
@feral thistle pretty much, yeah. You can probably find some AFK'ing in the main city-state marketplaces
@stable elk Gimme a second and I can take a picture of my hotbars. There's also this faq which has their own sample hotbar and a lot of other useful info
@MEa have you look inside the square ruined building thing? (Just a guess)
And basic question, you do type in /lookout right?
!faq controller
Alright. Thanks, I’m mainly looking for a pve mentor for healing, as I’m just getting to 8 man dungeons and trials for the main scenario and after the first one I feel like I need help with getting it down before going into more.
What level does your aetherpool arms and armor have to be to start at floor 51 on POTD? I reset mine for Padjali and now i cant do it
about 15/15
In raid/trials, you usually just need to keep your eye on the MT (main tank) and occasionally the OT (off tank) if the OT is handling any adds or mechanics
Then just make sure DPS HP is not too low and they don't die
@real kiln
ARR relics are unlocked in Vesper Bay and properly in Hyrstmill of North Shroud.
HW relics are unlocked in Idyllshire and properly start in Azys Lla.
SB relics are unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach and properly start in Kugane at Pier #1.
ShB relics are unlocked in Kugane and probably start in Gangos, accessed through the Doman Enclave.
I mean i just do the emote, is their a difference?
@obsidian patio why you speak to me in chinese
!?
What?
i dont understand
pelase help me
my question is:
should i do level 60 relic weapons? do i need them for level 70?
No.
No
level 70 relic weapons?*
Ehhhh
so i dont bother with them at all right?
That's optional too
@noble pollen Located at 25.5, 32.3; use /lookout at 25.4,32.2 to uncover (wiki-ed)
You don't need them
ok
and
where can i find a list of the things i need to prepare for it
when i reach level 70??
The youtube channel I mentioned has guides for the relics
oh i missed it
70 just chill and do
really
There's no prep for Eureka relic
Cuz you go into a map and kill stuff in there?
You have to level up inside of Eureka
You can't buy any materials ahead of time
I wish haha, eureka sucks... 
Even for lvl 50/60 relic, you can't stock up items before you unlock the step requiring said items
what should i buy with the allagam tomestone?? i never use them
!faq poetics
wow thats some service
Scaevan - level 70 i390 -> 400
Scaevan gear for alt jobs - 2455 poetics for a full set of armor + accessories (only 1 ring) from Enna -> Poetics (DoW II/DoM II) Paladins add 120 poetics for a shield.
Scaevan weapons for alt jobs - 100 poetics for a Military Tomestone, 400 poetics for 10x Rowena's Token (Genesis), both from Enna -> Poetics (Other); just to her right, trade to Eschina -> Scaevan Gear Exchange for the weapon. Paladins only need 7x Rowena's Token (Genesis).
Augment Scaevan gear - 1100 poetics for augment materials from Enna -> Poetics (Other) (1x Scaevan Ester, 5x Scaevan Twine, 5x Scaevan Shellac) - take to E'bolaff far to the right (13.6, 12.2) -> Scaevan Gear Augmentation, then spend 180 poetics for a second unaugmented ring.
It is a frequently asked question after all
WOW why do they say i should get materials?? u guys said i shouldnt justn ow
These are not relics
They are tomestone gear
You confused relics with other things
why is matty so mean
Relic is not a category of items or a rarity level
Omg JUST youre a life saver, god i wouldve never known it was there, not enough information was givin and im on my hotspot so my sister can game and i had no means to look that up atm, tyty
Relic refers to a small pool of weapons and armors you need to grind to maximize their potential
Scaevan - level 70 i390 -> 400

What is scaevan gear
Yw~ (I have to think who are you refering as just lol...)
and what is alt job
It’s a level 70 tomestone set
Lol ❤️
should i get it, is it good?
It’s the best level 70 gear set that is easily obtainable
Tl;dr if ur looking for good equipment > poetic trade
Also with the gold haloed sacks, is that floor 51 - 100 of HoH or
Alt job usually refers to combat jobs that aren't your highest level combat job
Relic is for glam (and its not poetic)
@obsidian patio hey I want a
Replica Sky Pirate's Mask of Striking for glamour how would I know about what level it requires to craft
or could I find someone to craft it for me in exchange for gil 🤔
better yet an idea how much it costs to make
im level 67 and my goal is to have the best gear
What's your highest job level and your story level?
my story level is 62
OK, there is not need to worry about best gear until you hit lvl 80 story
Specifically, finishing the vanilla Shadowbringers story
gotcha thank you, but what can i do with the tomestones in the meantime?
@nate its skybuilder scrip mats, so price depends on each server (could be "free" if you're willing to grind it yourself)
Seeing that you are on lvl 62 story
You can get some Shire gears with your tomestone
Refer to the guide just now
could u send me the guide??
Btw, you cannot get lvl 70 Scaeven gear when your job is level 70, you need to hit lvl 70 story first (plus a lil bit)
you are a treasure sir
@stable elk first picture is main hotbar, second picture is hold crossbar
Almost everything in XIV is gated by your
progression
!faq poetics
bruh why does everyone do cross hotbars
@spring oasis gsm lvl 61
Skybuilder is the ishgard firmament stuff
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Replica_Sky_Pirate's_Mask_of_Striking
i dont understand
like how do i get the gears
You can only get lvl 60 Shire gear for now
and also just to make sure, there is NOTHIGN i can spend my rtomestones on to make my gear grinding easier when i reach level 80?
No
are those the ppl who sell shire gear?
Hismena has the shire gear
Lvl 60 Shire gear, when upgraded, is good up to lvl 65 
https://gyazo.com/3ee5811e5ec742d20a0683b2efef31ce
yall got nice hotbars and I have just this
I was like "eh ill worry later"
After lvl 65, you can supplement whatever you need with dungeon gears from lvl 65/67/69 dungeons
you get a bunch of stuff from the msq
Then when you hit lvl 70, and cleared some story, you can then get the lvl 70 Scaeven gear
Questioning are you seriously asking or trolling
you should get out of here darling
Sure bye
so
What Nami said is fair
Ok that is trolling

Please be civil in here.
🍿
that's what I did, the msq rewards you with enough gear
Kicking myself out~ I just find it weird af
@real kiln k dude
If what you gonna type here is not a question or an answer, then shove it
oh im glad someone deleted i was gonna be like 
that's what I did, the msq rewards you with enough gear
Yeah, it is possible for new players to have no idea what to do with poetics
yes thats me ahah
Short hand is rarely used in game as well
Unless you engage with the community in a regular basis
Hey 🙂 How do I know someone is a first timer on a Dungeon/trial?
so basically i go for shire gear chronos, and then i wait for lv70 to get the other one??
You can only know that your part has at least 1 first timer
By the Bonus Poetic/exp message
The game will mention if someone in the duty is doing it for the first time, it won't specify who.
Oh, ok, thanks
so basically i go for shire gear chronos, and then i wait for lv70 to get the other one??
@real kiln shire as it is can last into lvl 64 ish story, augmented shire has better stats and can last into 65/66 story, afterward you should upgrade (not all, just a few piece here and there) with dungeon gears or gears rewarded from MSQ
could i please
add u to my friendlist
and harass you with questions every now and then?
In game or here?
Lol
can you add friends on different data centers?
There are mentor here 24/7
Nope.
i added u
They just let me answer you cuz I got em right xD
Datacenters are completely isolated from each other.
ah he wants to add on discord
Before we end this session, @real kiln i assume that you know what's Item Level?
When should I start caring about gear sets? I’ve been assuming max level thus far when I’ve situated myself in some type of raiding group
is crafting materia V useful? I see it costs way more than VI
You can meld V into hidden slots
Not VI
<@&472496619577671691> VI still can't go into hidden slots right?
correct.
Personally I keep every grade materia
Since when you get to overmelding
Its useful to have options
@obsidian patio how’d you get that skill bar at the bottom of your abilities
You can enable PC hotbars for visibility in the hotbar settings.
I use it to keep track of cooldowns
when im leveling and a item becomes spiritbonded, should i always just extract the materia? or do i get a bonus for keeping it fully bonded
Just extract
extract
no reason not to extract, since it doesn't destroy the gear anymore.
awesome ty
I think keeping it at 100% slightly slows down loss of gear durability? Might just be an early ARR rumor
Extracting materia = more gils
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
Any durability loss from not having 100% spirit bonded gear can probably be covered by selling materia to NPC
lol i think i missed out on a lot then, had no idea the extraction existed until just now and i have like 40+ peices of gear spirit bonded by now
It is a feature added recently
how recently? i just came back after a year break since shadow dropped
ah okay cool, didnt miss out on much materia then

where would 'battle voices/character grunts' in combat be classified under the sounds menu?
i dont rememeber hearing my char during battle
not sure if i have something disabled
Hmmm some classes are more quiet than others... though should be sound effect?
If ur playing caster/healer, then expect no character sound
*) except when getting hit
How does Continuation work as gnb?
you use a cartridge to enter your gnashing fang combo
and between every one of those skills
you can hit continuation
to do another ogcd skill for damage
!action continuation
I have a cursed gnb flowchart from balance if you want it...
Its "cursed" for a reason wynne xD
I look at it, then quit gnb at the tender level of 70.... 
Gnashing Fang makes Continuation become Jugular Rip, Savage Claw makes it become Abdomen Tear, and Wicked Talon makes it become Eye Gouge.
oh so basically you use after each ability in the gnashing fang chain
yep. You basically do 1-4-2-4-3-4
I
I just used lb and it resurrected everyone and I’m ngl I had no idea I did that...is hat only with 3 bars?
LB1/2 for healers is just a pretty meh AoE heal that does %HP.
I think LB1 is like 25% and LB2 is 50%?
Its never used really
LB1 is basically worthless since that's just a free medica, which is not worth using LB for.
Healer lb 3 when everythin goes to shit and you need to pull a miracle (or nothing)
Ohhhhh I get it now. I wish I would’ve known that before. I mean I resurrected about 5 people but
It wasn’t my intention lmfao
that's pretty good value, actually.
Because raising people with LB3 doesn't give them weakness.
or it doesn't have it progress to Near Death if they already had weakness when they died.
5 people dead, you did what you must
o/ I at least beat ice ice hoe
Grats~
I think she...she stepped on me?

I honestly couldn’t tell...
She actually does choose a random person to 'step' on for her ultimate
I KNEW it
I was like this hitch didn’t just step on me
Anywho, I also had another question
I notice when I play whm as I am on PS4, my eyes tend to drift to my allies health bars and only that to the point where I’m not paying a whole lot of attention to where I’m standing at times..any ideas what to do about that?
Should I just look, get on target and start casting then look back or
You can set the party UI closer to the middle of the screen
Mmmm, personally I only enable party hp bar so I can (and would only) see my members, then its practiced prediction game (as in, raidwide damage surviveable yes/no, is anyone standing on aoe, etc etc)
Personally, I find that getting familiar to fights and when damage happens lets you know when you need to look at the party's HP
(even if that basically summarizes into "git gud")
nod nod
Generally, if you're taking damage from intended stuff then everyone else is too.
of course it depends on the duty
I usually glance at the party list after each mechanic or so and silently judge those who got hit by stuff
Lmfao. Gotcha and @rare sable so sorry. I seem to be a tad confused could you elaborate 🥺👉🏾👈🏾
Um, when you do a certain dungeon often enough
You'll memorize when something is/will happening
Which would allow you to predict damage and know when you should check hp to heal or not
Basically what wynne said
Ok, I thought so. Thank you so much ^^
I have the same problem as you when I first start healing... eventually you just get used to it and can do better (though not particulary helpful sorry)
Ok! ^^ should I be constantly looking at the party’s hp or have my attention elsewhere,
?
Generally, tank is on boss, so unless a raidwide aoe is happening, you can just keep your eyes on boss(tank hp is bonus)
Focus targeting the tank might help
focus on the boss, and then the party
you can't heal if you're dead
generally your priority should be yourself/The Boss > tank > DPS
True that
What does tank LB even do?
Def up
excessive migitation
is there a point to it?
(required in some raids)
Useful in limited situations
some raids require you to tank lb but generally you'll get fair warning when it's needed in normal raids
Alexander 12 does

I don't need to buy shadowbringers until I'm ready to do the content, right?
Oh right
If you don't want to waste experience, then you'll want to buy it before hitting 50.
*if you don't already own the other expansions
^
but what's the point of playing ff14 if you aren't playing the furry daddy race?
😌 gotcha. And one last thing being I’ve been waiting for an hour for Lev duty finder... anyway to speed this up?
Hard or Extreme?
ex
I'm on the trial currently. Was going to buy the base game. Just need to know at what point i need the addon content
*and coils of bahamut
@summer haven you need to buy shadowbringers once you hit 50 since square and steam don't sell old expansions
*and shadowbringers comes with all previous expansions
ok. am i at a disadvantage if i wait until 50 rather than buying it all at once?
Does anyone use DF for current extremes?
Nope, shabz.
I think jpn dc uses df for ex.... 
The only real advantage of having the expansions early is if you want to play as an expansion race.
Ok. So what should I use? I presume party finder? It’s just so confusing because when I’m in a party with someone and activate it is seems to remove us from the party together
Miqote is best
party finder unsync
nobody does old content synced
unless it's ultimate which you have to do synced
au'ra is unironically the best playable race in all mmos
If you're at/above level 70 you can solo all of the ARR extreme primals
btw is it possible to solo the HW extremes?
depends on the primal and depends on the job
if you want to solo the recommended job is paladin
tried doing seph but I got slapped
Easiest one to unsync is probably one of the 3.0 ones or so?
Au ra is dope...female horns are better tho
Ravana, Bismark?
easiest one is bismark
Oh shit I understand now so I should recruit on party finder
bismark is just burning down some adds
I’m so dumb
do I just need one of the two or both?
Au Ra is cute as heck, but I swapped to fem Miqo just today lol
just one
Bismarck requires good burst to kill the adds fast enough
ty
female au'ra is so fucking good
because them being tethered speeds up the enrage for that phase
yeah the problem with bismarck is if you can't OS the snakes
Fem Miqo elbows look like they can kill
#general-discussion if you want to talk which race is better lmao
Sorry
What is WT?...
wonderous tails
basically a seconadary weekly thing you can do for rewards
Usually a one-time thing to burn the boss
it's a weekly thing filled with various duties to do on a bingo-sheet for rewards
Ok...so how do I start the trial?
They seem to be able to be started without a full party
I feel like a baby omg
Idk what’s happening
click the cog at the top of the duty finder menu and make sure undersized party is enabled
after that just queue for the duty

After checking the undersized option, yes
Ok so i just unlocked Heaven on High apex
and 31 isnt coming up
is there something im missing because i did the look at funky tree quest
21-30 is the highest floor you can do in a matched party
31+ requires a premade group
You have to progress to floor 31, you can't start on it.
If I'm using the steam version do I upgrade to the collectors editions on the mogstation?
for stormblood and heavensword
Pretty sure, yes.
thx
i have friends trying to download the game now but they can't download, thinking that it might be an issue with the updater
been getting the unable to update patch file errors all the time
could the DDoS have anything to do with it?
Anyone know what service shadowbringers ost is on?
Have them check to see if they need to update Internet Explorer, as the launcher uses that to run.
@leaden ginkgo I don't think any music-streaming site has it currently
Maybe spotify?
Non streaming
if you are on iOS i saw it on iTunes Store
Masayoshi soken said it was on a non streaming
Thanks
Let me know if you guys find other non streaming services
Not available in the us :/
it COULD be that it's not available for streaming and only available for purchase
my guess
cause i'm from malaysia which is a god forsaken country and even i can buy it with my native currency
Haha damn
yeah it looks available for purchase on my end
Yep.
but isn't this what you are looking for?
you did mention not streaming
*non streaming service
Masayoshi soken said his music is only available through non streaming services
For now at least
purchasing from store != streaming thou
Lol what about male?
And that reminds me. Are there any other msq that rewards Fantasia

so if can't afford it and you have a fantasia potion, you should do the smart thing where you make an alt, run around with it for 20 minutes, see how you feel before you use that appearance
since you can save it
i didn't use my fantasia for like 5 years
Kk, thank you :)))
Just a quick question. I read somewhere that the level boost is only 1 time per character. I've also read they announced to loosen this restriction. Is that still restricted to one per character? Just curious.
The restriction has long since been removed
Hi, I finished HW (Included 3.5 patch) and have a few lore questions, if you can answer without spoilering forward it will be nice, thanks
|| 1. Allagan empire and Garlean empire are 2 diff thing? if so what happened to them exactly? ||
||2.I understood that the world is divided to 13 parts? its on the same planet? or its dimensions stuff? and each calamity means that one of the parts destryoed?||
Allagan empire was founded in the 3rd era
garlean was founded in the 7th era
For the latter it's dimensions stuff
and yes
tl;dr periods between calamities
Umbral means recovering from a calamity and astral means period of peace or at least stability
|| so the ascian tried to destroy eorzea but Louisoix managed to save the realm and prevented calamity?||
no
||lousioux managed to lessen the damage done by the calamity, he didn't stop it||
|| so if he wouldnt do it the realm would be destroyed? ||
eorzea would've suffered a great deal more, yes
It's not a whole ass calamity and the way calamitys work in Eorzea are different from calamities in the alternate worlds
i mean...they don't exactly suffer calamities
|| Eorzea is the source? the main world where hydalen exsits?||
|| and about the warrios of darkness, what happened in their world? The beated everything and was no longer the darkness and the light was about to destroy the world? ||
||basically, yes they tipped their world too far towards light and it is currently in the process of flooding||
what level is the item you're currently wearing
|| so what the word of mother did when she sent them back? ||
that's...how glamour system works
that's why mog glams are 1
it makes sense to limit it by character level
||she helped to stop the flood||
you can't make a low lvl item look like a high lvl one
Since I'm an absolute champ and clicked through without reading, what does DRG's meter actually correspond to?
|| how it works? she put some darkness to balance it? or asborbed the light? ||
oh k thanks a lot
|| and what is cartenau reclemantion bill of teledji? never undertood that ||
||mans wanted to build on Carteneau just to get access to allagan ruins||
thanks a lot ^^

is there a guide for zones and their respective sidequest levels? am looking to clear them while levelling an alt
Not really? People don't really track that since sidequests are pretty poor experience. You can try using the lodestone to see quests by region. https://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/playguide/db/quest/?category2=3&category3=36
yea there's no loremaster type achievement in this game so there's kinda no incentive to
highest level dungeon spam or palace of the dead/heaven on high, whatever has a faster queue.
most people level enough to go to quarrymill to start palace of the dead
and spam dungeons yeah if you're tired of it
ahh okay, thanks!
then heaven on high deep dungeon starts when you're 61
now if you KNOW you have never done beast tribes for your appropriate level, you could try that too. i know did ananta snakelady when i was in the 60s
ya, am doing the heavensward ones now but the exp is kinda
kinda craphouse, im getting 47k per daily when i need 1.2mil from 52>53
Make sure youre spamming floors 51to60
ooo okay, ill stick to those floors
hi guys anyone know what to do when this happens? https://cdn.discordapp.com/attachments/289379033056018433/699907930245300284/unknown.png
friend of mine is stuck here
check if firewall blocking it?
Uh, im new in the game and i justgot level 35 in the free trial, until i buy 1 month i´m thinking of leveling anothe class or job, the rogue, but i dont have no armor when i change to its class :/ can some1 help?
and i started the quest to get my level 1 sword but i sold it for missclick XD
how do i get another 1 and or armor?
You can use your racial starting set as a level 1 set of gear.
as for the weapon you can buy another one at the limsa market area
what´s the racial starting set? xdd
The gear you started in. Lalafellin/Hyuran/Elezen/Miqo'te/Roegadyn.
You can buy that back from Bango Zango near the big aetheryte in Limsa.
oooh ok ok
firewall isnt the issue so were assuming its either connectivity issue or the relation to the ddos earlier today
You know how you need to collect rocks and botany before your retainers can collect them. Do you have to do the same for your battling retainers?

Nope
Yep, just need the right level and enough ilvl
In terms of the roulette? like 99% is from the roulette unless you're like level 50
ok thats what i thought thanks
So the DRG jump emote in MHW has 100% dodge for its duration... but do actual DRG jumps have that?
that's depressing and explains why i keep dying for trying it
yeah your actual hitbox is always on the floor
while high-jump does greatly accelerate your animation lock
you're still animation locked
Drg is..a lot of learning when to jump in fights

is it possible to change titles with marco's?
bc I want to setup swapping titles when I swap to another job.
How do people get gil from hunts
@dense cloud A/S rank hunts in Stormblood/Shadowbringer zones drop combat materia tokens.
You can also trade in nuts for materia
@obsidian patio ty able to setup a job change with title change.
So just sell combat materia?
yep, or get lucky and have mutamix transmute the grade 7 stuff into grade 8 crafting/gathering materia that's worth more
Neat I have like 50 cracked stellaclusters
Also
How does Mutamix work again?
Does it preserve the rarity?
If you use all materia of the same tier, you always get that tier back or a tier higher
if you use mixed tiers you can get the lower ones
so does anyone here ever sold a house/plot? i wanted to sell mine but idk how
the second one means they're in the novice network
You can't exactly sell housing anymore, due to the plot lockout that happens after a plot opens up.
Correct, so you always want to use 5 different kinds when transmuting
You'd have to compare prices to see the possible profit
and have a good amount of luck
what if i demolish the house then someone relocate to the plot?
relocating bypasses the lockout, yes.
is there a guide for the Atma drop rates anywhere?
Just know that they are low
and all rng if u are lucky u get them rly fast or if not can take ages
They increased the drop rates awhile back, but it's still pretty hit or miss.
I think atma drop rate is about 25%
Should not take more then 10 FATES per zone to get it
Question for SCH mains how I get good?

How to get phantasmagoria without entering a duty?
you can't.
@dense cloud You can get from hunts and treasuremaps
oh, didn't know that
Hi, My friend quit the game for about 2 days after purchase last year so he didn't even made it to level 30 or something, will the account get the 15days free gametime if he made it to 30 thru the free 8 days event?
Probably no
And I'm wanting to kinda own his account because apparently he doesn't even want to use it anymore(such waste), will that be considered account piloting?(Which is apparently not legal i believe)
The purpose of the free login is to entice players to get back and play
Why would you take a 2 days old account?
You might as well start with trial, play to level 35, then upgrade to standard
I'd just log it in every time there will be come back event
Because it has a full expac
Is there a specific reason why tehre are no job quests anymore from 70 to 80?
You can take the account and start paying subscription for it, no problem at all
Yep, kinda, kinda don't want to fund money unto it so just log it in every time there's a comeback event
Because Role quests replace them
Is there a specific reason why tehre are no job quests anymore from 70 to 80?
@snow dock role quests in Shadowbringers
Then at lvl 80 and after finishing the story, you can go back to the job quests NPC for a nifty lvl 80 quest
i liked the job quests more, the role quests feel really generic and just like any other side quest
The lvl 80 quests from the job quests NPC has short stories
Kinda like previous job quests, just without much combat instances
are there any shortcuts to farming this? Valerian Rune Fencer's Wings
or do i basically have to run the dungeon on repeat and pray
it looks like an untradable dungeon drop
so you pretty much just have to keep running the dungeon and praying

Keep doing the dungeon
You get a guaranteed item after every clear so if you're stupidly unlucky you'll have it after 11 runs
Assuming you do it on a Dragoon
Hello guys! I'm on the final quest of shadowbringers, I need an Average Item level of 410
Talk to Grenoldt and pick up free i430
Yes
ok ty
that gear only requires you to complete the role quest which you have already done
hoh for 61-71(also daily roulettes), 71+ dungeons(with trust if u rly need) or do fates and sidequests while you wait for the que also sb and shb beast tribes
Roulette, dungeons, (before lvl 71) HoH only if roulette/dungeon has worse queue time
Trust dungeon only if dungeons has 15 minutes+ ish queue time
Yeah, what Chibi said, do your beast tribes
I just hit 80, is there a "where to gear up" guide anywhere?
Don't forget daily hunts from Kugane (good up to lvl 72-73) and Crystalium (available from 70 onward)
!faq gearguide
Well... This is crap
yeah..
@oak ice my character must be level 80 in order to be able to get the gear, right?
OK, Fel
After you are forced to finish a role quest, you will unlock job gears through your MSQ
You can claim them from a NPC south of the fish people village
Once you finished the Shadowbringers vanilla story
Yes, it's the artifact gear for ShB
You should continue the MSQ to get some gears from dungeons, Nier alliance raid, Eden 1-4 normal, and trade for gears with phanstamagoria tomestone
When you do the role quests at 80, you unlock the gear for that role
Afterward, you can do Eden raid and earn Allegory tomestone
my average item level is now 409, I need 410 xDDDD
Have you done the lvl 80 Amaurot dungeon yet?
@warped nest no, that's exaclty the dungeon that requires 410 item level
One sec
You got the 430 gear right?
Whats the rest of your gear like?
For a quick and dirty solution, yeah, buy 1 NQ accessories
Normal quality accessories
HQ white gears have the stat to match their item level
NQ of the same gear has neutered stats, they are only good upgrade if your item level is too low
Yes
For your other jobs, I suggest investing your poetics tomestone to get them the lvl 70 Scaeven gear
They are ilvl 390 as is, becomes ilvl 400 when upgraded
Have fun

whats a good patron deity to choose?
The one you like most
does it affect gameplay at all?
I currently only have my own damage numbers displayed, but ive noticed that that does not include damage from dots, is there any way to enable your own dot damage? as im a scholar I cant see the healing done from my pets fay union either
I have a question. When fantasia is used to change to another race, will that race's respective starting clothes overwrite the former race's or will they be added to the armoury as extra gear?
@white sinew in each of the starter cities u can buy the race gear from a npc don't remember the name atm but it's cheap
is there anything i can do about "New characters cannot br made on this World at this time"
Nothing except try again on a less popular time
I dont wanna leave and lose my character tho :/
You can save appearance data
how do i do that akechi
It should have been a pop up when you progressed past making your character design
Should have been something like "Would you like to save appearance data"
Is it OK to ask lore/story related stuff in here?
You're probably better off asking that sort of thing over in #archived-lore-spoilers
You can ask it here, just spoiler tag it
Aaah, I'm very new to FF games in general and I'm worried I'll end up spoiling the story for myself by accident in there
Ah, yeah, in that case go ahead and ask here @glass kayak , but do as Meara suggested and spoiler tag your question with || on either side of the text.
what does this legacy thing mean
Is there a good wiki resource for the story or a spoiler-light summary anywhere? And do the other games actually relate to FFXIV as well?
every FF is pretty much its own story
there are references and themes shared between the games, but you can pick up and play pretty much any FF without knowing anything about the others
"Legacy" used to be the 1.0 server that was used 9 or so years ago iirc
oh okey thanks Azalea
Legacy doesn't mean anything for new players
Really
If you played in 1.0 it means you can reclaim your stuff from there
@glass kayak XIV has its own story and lore, separate from any of the other FF titles, as JET said. There are a few characters and settings which are Eorzean versions of characters and settings from other FF games, but you don't actually need to have any knowledge of the previous versions.

For example, the Gold Saucer minigame zone existed as exactly the same kind of place in FFVII, and every single FF game ever has a character named ||Cid|| who ||has an airship||. But they're not the same ones.
Aha, so it's more homages & recurring themes than me needing to read up on prior games
