Turn off sharing on the hotbars that are staying the same

Character config > hotbars > sharing

@open coral Yeah I currently have it set the way you describe--there are tweaks I would love to make though re: job and full health bars also showing over heads.

Hi, i'm new to the game and i'm looking for people to do the old content (like garuda and ifrit) in extreme mode synced, where should i go to find them ?

slate arrow
#

party finder but it's unlikely you'll get anyone

heady tinsel
#

@faint flare does this apply to crosshotbars, like set8? because after i turned off sharing for all of the hotbars, now when I select a different job, set 8 isnt being saved but instead being wiped whenever i change jobs

inland compass
#

that's why i'm here, i don't find anybody with it

faint flare
#

Yes, make sure you turn off the crosshotbar settings explicitly

#

Not just normal hotbars

leaden ginkgo
#

I have so many questions on regards to character apparel but I’ll ask one for now: I see many users who’s characters have very eccentric attires. Is there a shop within the game or the MOG station for that specifically?

heady tinsel
#

okay cool that worked

#

thanks tails

little swift
#

@inland compass try #recruitment-chaos

#

and sit in party finder

Thank you so much! ☺️

hey guys, if i do the verify integrity of game files option through steam, is it gonna make me reinstall the game or cause any issues?

latent void
#

the last time i had to verify integrity i had to redownload and reinstall.

round crag
#

the option is greyed out on steam for some reason

strange coral
#

I don't have the Steam version, so I'm not positive on this, but I think it does it's patching/updating with the FF14 launcher. So they might have disabled that function in Steam because it would reset the game to whatever default state is in Steam's servers.

#

Is leveling DoL much faster than it was in stormblood? My guide says it takes a lot of time, but i just made 3 levels in like 5 minutes

strange coral
#

In ShB? It can be pretty quick with facet quests, leves, quitari quests, and Ishgard restoration.

twilit arch
#

yes, they increased xp gains with shb

gloomy ice
#

Around 5.1-ish, I believe, leve exp output was nearly tripled.

For crafters and gatherers at least

Hey guys! I've been having a lot of fun grinding up my tank classes and just wondering what the current milieu/meta is at the endgame. I have WAR in the mid-50s, PLD 60, and DRK at 61; I find WAR the most fun but had originally hoped to get my PLD up to max level first as it was my original starting job.

I find PLD quite slow, which is particularly what turns me off from finishing that first. Does PLD become more "interesting" at later levels or is the "fun factor" -- which I realize is very subjective - tilted towards WAR and DRK for most folks?

little swift
#

i find all the tank jobs offer something slightly different

#

gnb might be the most interesting from a dps perspective tho

#

since it has quite an involved rotation

uncut fiber
#

@little swift Yeah, I've seen that regarding GNB as well -- I think my hesitancy/lack of interest in getting into GNB is that NIN is my main, so I already have a DPS class I would use more for that kind of play.

little swift
#

gnb is still a tank

#

you have to do a tanks job

#

im biased towards WAR though since its my main job

#

simple but satisfying rotation

uncut fiber
#

Yeah, I've also noticed that I enjoy WAR the most. Something about it feels good in my hands to play, which I don't really get from PLD.

#

DRK feels good but I don't like their aesthetic, ha ha.

little swift
#

pld does get way better as it moves through the levels

#

you alternate between a physical dps phase and magical dps phase

#

quite fun and flashy

mossy current
#

PLD doesn't have fell cleave

little swift

Guys what's the difference between paladin and warrior for dps

Meta Jobs FAQ
Info

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

Click here for the best jobs in the game though

little swift
#

its literally skill difference after that

pastel pond
#

What about utility between the two

mossy current
#

Depends

little swift
#

pld has a bit more raid utility sorta in use of passage of arms and stuff

#

and cover

#

but war has lifesteal

#

and can share that

#

they offer different things

mossy current
#

Yea, war has great dungeon utility

pastel pond
#

See I'm leveling a warrior. It's level 55 atm and someone told me they're trash and I should have gone paladin :(

mossy current
#

!action Passage of arms

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Passage of Arms** : lvl 70 PLD (120.0 second cooldown)

Increases block rate to 100% and creates a designated area in a cone behind you in which party members will only suffer 85% of all damage inflicted.
Duration: 18s
Effect ends upon using another action or moving (including facing a different direction).
Cancels auto-attack upon execution.

I do like my warrior but it's a little squishy

little swift

tell that person they're trash

@little swift warrior is good

We just said that

midnight slate
#

What is a levequest?

little swift
#

levequests are basically repeatable quests

#

for exp

#

not worth on combat classes

midnight slate
#

So it’s good on healers

mossy current
#

For combat jobs, they're like a FATE

uncut fiber
#

Thanks all for the feedback! I will keep on the grind in this case for both and get a sense of which I prefer more.

little swift
#

no

#

healers are a combat class

midnight slate
#

Oh yeah

mossy current
#

Healers do damage

little swift
#

gatherer/crafters make good use of levequests to power level

native ingot
#

Good at the beginning but fall out quickly

wispy shard
#

You’ve also only have so many allowances for Levequests.

#

You earn 3 per 12 hours, up to 100.

mossy current
#

Levequests are amazing ways to level crafting/gathering

wispy shard
#

If you use all of those, you can’t do Levequests until they regen.

uncut fiber
#

Are there Levequests beyond 50?

strange coral
#

Yes

little swift
#

yes but combat leves aren't a thing past lvl 60

What’s the tell for whether you need to go to the front or back half during the engels fight in copied factory

For when he goes under the platform?

Or the hands

When he raises his hands high, go to the front

When they're low, go back

Hi guys. I'm a newcomer. How important is crafting my gear? I'm a tank, but I always feel like I'm too sqwishy despite putting on the strongest armor I can find

When is the first dungeon unlocked? 😄

#

@signal holly msq lvl15

#

quest is "It's probably pirates"

#

@stark bone game will toss gear at you

make sure both of you do hall of the novice for a sweet set of gear

also make sure you're using tank designated gear

I'm doing the 62 botany class quest "seeds know no borders", which requires me to get chysahl greens from coerthas west. I cannot for the life of me find any, am i doing something wrong?

Not really, though I’d maybe focus them a bit more on the gathering classes if you don’t like doing collectables

shrewd relic
#

& always try to turn in HQ leves for crafting/gathering 😄

snow dock
#

what do you mean with HQ leves?

shrewd relic
#

If you're crafting and you turn in a HQ item, you get 2x the exp

#

I'm doing gathering rn

shrewd relic

But if you have A Road to 70 Buff i think it doubles that again

#

Also applies to GC expert deliveries

So. I'm a new player to the game. Just started my free trial 2 days ago. Love the questing so far! (better than WoW). I have a question about crafting. I've read a lot that end game crafting, the crafts are all dependent on eachother, and so almost not worth it if you only want to do 1-3 crafts. Is this still true?

little swift
#

lots of crafts later involve materials made by other crafting classes

#

its a lot less taxing on your wallet to make everything yourself

pure anvil
#

And so tough to turn a profit buying those other materials off of the market?

little swift
#

only culinarian and sometimes alchemist don't really need stuff from other crafters

#

it can be but you cna use world visit to your advantage

#

to get cheaper materials

#

but its nice to know that you can just gather everything by hand and make it yourself

pure anvil
#

Ah. Got it. Culinary is not dependend on others? How about gathering ones? You need fishing for Culinary? And can you make money just doing gathering? (Thanks for answering all these questions)

little swift
#

you can make money doing anything in this game (almost)

#

fishing is sort of used in culinarian

#

like select recipes

#

you can sell off important materials from gatehring yes

#

culinarian is its own thing compared to other crafters since you won't need things like wooden planks or metal nuggets to make a sandwich haha

pure anvil
#

Haha. Yea. Awesome. I'm leveling a Bard. Was thinking about going into leatherworking and maybe carpentry, but dont want to if I cant make a profit unless I level all of them. IDK if I wanna do that. Maybe I'll just become a chef 😛

lament wagon
#

it's easier to make a profit while gathering as you can just sell a bunch of low level ores

#

they go for like 200-300-400 gil a piece

little swift
#

its a little tougher to make a profit early though since most people can get stuff pretty easily by themselves

#

but nami's tip is a pretty good one

#

selling ingots and stuff you buy from vendors for a higher prices haha

#

if you're on trial though, you can't use marketboard so don't think too much about it

karmic jolt
#

So I just picked up Dancer at 60 (played Warrior until then) and the skills aren't making much sense.

little swift
#

what part doesn't make sense?

karmic jolt
#

Reading the tooltips it looks like I have a 'base' skill that can proc a buff and allow an advanced version for like 5 skills.

little swift
#

yeah so 2 of your skills are single target

#

2 are aoe

#

those can proc 1 skill respectively

#

so thats 4 possible procs

#

and those skills can proc and give you feathers

#

which can be used to use the ogcd fan dance1/2

#

which can proc and give you fan dance 3

karmic jolt
#

So even Fan Dance has the same concept of a super version. Cool

tropic tulip
#

if im farming for a specific map, i should exhaust all the nodes to force them to respawn right?

lament wagon
#

also use standard step on cd

mossy current
#

They're timed

lament wagon
#

it deals massive aoe damage

mossy current
#

Can only get 1 per 12 hours?

#

I forget

little swift
#

standard step is dps neutral

#

if you're map farming its 1 a day basically

karmic jolt
#

From the videos I've watched about how to play it looks like I should be using Step every 30sec when it's off CD to buff myself and dance partner?

little swift
#

yes

#

and it does damage

#

just keep hitting nodes until maps appear

karmic jolt
#

Ah, so there is really only like 6 to 9 buttons to hit in the job, they just mostly have an advanced version that does more.

little swift
#

dancer is quite intuitive

#

its proc on proc on proc

#

then dance

#

all the time

#

henlo gamers, can I ask a question ?

Extracting materia resets the item’s spirit bond level from 100% to 1% and gives you a random materia based on the level and type of gear it is

@deft scaffold iirc at lvl15 or so you unlock quick synthesis but it's only usefull for like ingots and others in normal quality

The story is almost all in the MSQ, save the side quests for your second Job.

once im past lvl 50 (currently lvl 70) do Allagan Tomestone of Poetics do anything for me?

Yes

If I have been doing msq + side quests on my main class is it going to be considerably harder to level when I do a different class?

twilit arch

poetics are used for non current expansion coontent, so lvl 50/60/70 gear is bought with it

jaunty ledge
#

oh, so is there other locations other than the one place in Revenant's Toll to buy the gear with?

twilit arch
#

yes

#

idyllshire for lvl 60, rhaglr's reach for lvl 70

ocean pivot
#

You need to finish the msq of the respective expansion to unlock them.

@trim cargo There is a ring that gives bonus xp and having a Job at a higher level than your current one gives bonus xp. You can do the tower of the dead to get great xp at any level as well as that Jobs hunt log. There are a LOT of ways to get good xp bumps as you go on your second or fifth Job

Glamour FAQ
Info

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

Thanks for the encouragement! I'm aiming for Ivalice so I can get going on the new relic weapon quests, from what I saw in a guide the bosses look pretty wild. I'll just queue up and see how it goes👍

the last one of ivalice can be sorta tough but you definitely won't be the only person dying so have fun!

#

those raids were great

strange coral
#

Important thing is to try to learn when you die so you don't keep dying to the same mechanic.

Although it's not always your fault when you do. Sometimes another player drops a bomb on your head instead of running away from others, etc.

So, I’m trying to do Leves on my miner and botanist, but only levels 5-10 are available. Does anyone know how to unlock the higher level ones to match where I am with my character? Do I need to do all of the level 5 and 10 to unlock the higher level ones?

you need to go to the levemete with higher lvl leves

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

I think it resets them when you instance in.

Does it matter if I buy the game off steam or the SE site (i see it's on sale on SE). Jw, happy grinding.

mossy current
#

Preferably SE store

twilit arch
#

you're locked into Steam if you buy from steam

smoky helm
#

O really?

twilit arch
#

so if you're someone who's interested in sales, then buying from SE store will be a bit more flexible

#

that said though if you are a heavy user of steam wallet, steam lets you use that for your sub and optional items

smoky helm
#

Not heavy into steam, just recently started ha. I havent tried the game yet but I'm ready to support hehe

#

It was between this an BDO. I think I'll be happier with FF

twilit arch
#

well, then i'd agree with azalea, SE store is probably the better of the two options especially since SE store is still running their sale

sage plaza

i'd recommend going with PC non-steam version too, less potential issues that way

your character and system settings are different when you upload it to cloud

I change the resolution on one to what it needs to be, then the next time I log in on the other, the resolution is set back to 1280x720 or whatever.

Like it's syncing the settings.

Which obviously I don't want it to do.

Also for example, on the laptop, I need the chat window font set to 30, whereas on the PC I need it about 20. And it seems to be syncing those settings.

Hi i'm a long time WoW player (feb 06) took a break recently and wanted to try out FF 14 but with no aussie servers I kinda dunno where to play. Is there an unofficial aussie server?

the expansion jobs are: Astrologian, Machinist, Dark Knight, Gunbreaker, Dancer, Samurai and Red mage

limber jasper

tbh idk final fantasy 😛 so idk what those races are from names

leaden ginkgo
#

Au Ra are dragon people with scales and stuff
Viera are female only tall bunnys
Hrothgar are male only fluffy lions

Au Ra are draconian/lizard like with horns and patches of scales. Viera are female only at present. Bunny women. Hrothgar are male only. Lion like people.

marble wraith

hey guys, super basic noob question. Recently got my first mount and while I was riding around I noticed a notification that said "increased speed in x area" and so now Im a bit faster on the mount but only in some areas. whats up with that? do you "level up" mounts the more you ride them around in certain areas or what

limber jasper
#

oh so I have to level another character to 50 to unlock making a red mage character?

scarlet arrow
#

you get speed increases via MSQ progression

twilit arch
#

no, you can do everything on one character

warped nest
#

You play all jobs in 1 characters

#

This is not WoW

marble wraith
#

oh dope. Thanks Braneric!

warped nest
#

There is no race/gender lock for jobs

#

Btw, race doesn't matter for what job you play

scarlet arrow
#

there's one additional level of mount speed increases you can unlock by doing ARR hunts

warped nest
#

Not worth it tbh

marble wraith
#

also, achievement points. I havent seen what they are used for except that you can trade them in for certain mounts?

limber jasper
#

how would that work with gear? does gear swap to the right type for the class you swap to? it'd be kinda stupid needing 50 different sets of gear on one character to match all the classes

twilit arch
#

you can use achievement points to purchase various items from jonathas in gridania

warped nest
#

You save your gear to gearset

#

When you swap gearset, you swap job and gear

#

Your job are tied to the weapon you equip

limber jasper
#

but would you have enough inventory for that? xD

twilit arch
#

yes

warped nest
#

Yes

#

The devs have considered this

rough crane
#

I need to maxing out my mount speed on eorza :/ any suggest to farm allied seal beside the hunt?

warped nest
#

You don't have infinite inventory space

rough crane
#

Like rank A only give you 40 seal and S 100 seal

marble wraith
#

ah, excellent! Is there anything I should save my achievement points for?

warped nest
#

So don't be surprised that you ran out of space cuz you horde armor like this is MH

twilit arch
#

No, you get more than enough points to buy everything just playing normally

#

Unless you're an absolute hoarder, inventory space really isn't that much of an issue

scarlet arrow
#

while all jobs have unique weapons, they also share other equipment

#

and you can save your gear for each job you have

limber jasper
#

yeah i'm just concerned that with WoW you can barely hold enough for 3 specs of gear let alone one for each class in here 🙂 my other concern would be leveling one class up to say 50 then swapping to other class and suddenly being 50 on it with no gear for a level 50 of the other class or if each class levels separately having run out of low level quests to level more than one?

warped nest
#

Armors: Tanks, Healer, Mages, Samurai and Monk, Dragoon, Ninja, Ranged
Accessories: Tanks, Healers, Mages, Samurai/Monk/Dragoon, Ranged and Ninja

ahh

twilit arch

it puts you into an instance for that specific roulette

i.e leveling roulette puts you into a random leveling dungeon you've unlocked

warped nest

It is a daily duty you can participate to get bonus exp, you get match made to help out other players

you get an exp bonus once a day for completing it

warped nest
#

High level players can be matched made and level synced to low level dungeon to help out new players, but the high level players will still get good bonus exp.

limber jasper
#

so any suggestion for class for a new player? Also is it bad to swap classes early on? Like should I be one class to max level before swapping?

#

@Kitmuri

pick whatever class looks interesting to you

generally the MSQ combined with your class/job-specific quests will be enough to level one job comfortably

I just want to dual weild some badassooking swords or axes.

limber jasper

I tend to have trouble playing complex classes 😛 so figured was good to ask

twilit arch
#

Its is somewhat recommended to focus on one class to get thru the main scenario quest, you can switch if you aren't feeling your current class

#

pretty much every class starts out pretty slow and easy

Classes are equally good but not equally easy to play

are classes role locked? like is a tank always a tank or do they have specs like WoW so every class can be a dps?

twilit arch
#

Yes

scarlet arrow
#

role-locked

twilit arch
#

But that said, pretty much every role is expected to dps

warped nest
#

No spec

twilit arch
#

healers included

#

FF14 doesn't have a lot of spike dmg like wow does

#

its very structed in how the dmg goes out

#

so there's a fair bit of down time

warped nest
#

At the high level play, Everyone is expected to channel out damage consistently while handling the mechanical challenges

limber jasper
#

hmm how long are rotations? I find long rotations with alot of buttons very hard

scarlet arrow
#

depends on the job

twilit arch
#

then stay away from summoner lol

warped nest
#

Maximum is 2-3 minutes

#

Summoner is not bad once it is broken down

twilit arch
#

yeah but its a fairly long rotation

rare sable
#

I cant play smn

twilit arch
#

compared to other jobs

rare sable
#

It gives me headache

limber jasper
#

oh hell no i'm talking like on wow I uses the 3 to 5 button classes

rare sable
#

Uh

warped nest
#

Then you are better off playing WoW

scarlet arrow
#

....yeah we dont have those

warped nest
#

Not a joke nor a insult

rare sable
#

Even the least button class is at least...

limber jasper
#

rotations that are liek 50 abilities long I just can't

twilit arch
#

we don't have quite that simplistic rotations

rare sable
#

10?

warped nest
#

Ehhhhh

twilit arch
#

but there's plenty of easy rotation jobs

warped nest
#

Lowest is Dancer, at 20?

twilit arch
#

bard is more priority system than a rotation

#

same with dancer

warped nest
#

Excluding role actions

rare sable
#

Blm rotation is easy..... everything else bout blm is hard though

#

War is comfy easy

warped nest
#

BLM is easy, if you are sitting down and hitting a stone

#

But bosses don't stay still

#

And you don't stay still

scarlet arrow
#

most jobs will be able to fill out 2-3 hotbars with abilities used at least semi-regularly

rare sable
#

Healer dont really have a static rotation...

twilit arch
#

blm has plenty of tools at higher lvls to deal with movement

limber jasper
#

if I was doing a long rotation liek that i'd mess it up alot and do very little dmg and standing in all the fire just trying to work it out lol

rare sable
#

Mmmmmmm

mossy current
#

Do all ShB leveling dungeons have furniture?

twilit arch
#

I'd say for simple/short rotations: bard, dancer, red mage

rare sable
#

Maybe whm then?

twilit arch
#

or tanks/healers

scarlet arrow
#

melee rotations are mainly combo based where you do skills in a set order

warped nest
#

The rotations are built on the basic principles of "lining up skills/buff" and "not letting skills sit there unused"

#

You don't memorize rotatiob

smoky helm
#

Jeebus, now I feel even more lost Lol.

rare sable
#

Dnc can be difficult when ur not used to it... too busy eyeing proc to pay attention to placement

warped nest
#

You understand why things are done what way

#

Then you just practice

twilit arch
#

@mossy current no, fairly certain its just dohn mheg and qitari ravel

craggy dragon
#

of all the following besides guildhests

rough crane
#

agree with chronos

craggy dragon
#

are these all good for exp?

warped nest
#

Not all

scarlet arrow
#

50/60/70 not so much

twilit arch
#

leveling, alliance, main scenario are the main 3

limber jasper
#

idk how you could use so many abilities without clicking them on bars all the time lol

twilit arch
#

trials is alright for its time/exp

#

50-70 is not good for exp

rare sable
#

Practice

warped nest
#

Leveling, Alliance raid, MAIN scenario are best three.
Then Trial and Raid (you don't have raid yet)

scarlet arrow
#

you're also fed the abilities gradually

rare sable
#

Practice practice practice, serious player spent hours just practicing their rotation, then hours more figuring out what works best for each boss

craggy dragon
#

alright thanks

limber jasper
#

there aren't enough keybinds to handle that many though

warped nest
#

Yes there is

rough crane
#

even with controller

#

lol

limber jasper
#

and they'd be too hard to remember

warped nest
#

Respectfully, you are just asking questions based on your assumptions

#

Seriously, go play trials first

stark sleet
#

I use 1-5, letter keys that are near WASD, and mouse buttons, along with shift versions of those, and sometimes ctrl versions. That's a ton of available buttons overall

#

Remembering them is hard at first, but gets easier with practice

rare sable
#

Tbh you start with like... 2

#

Inb4, dont overthink it for now and just enjoy?

warped nest
#

Level 1 give a skill, then probably lvl 3 gives another. Usually

limber jasper
#

yeah ctrl and shift mods I can't use consistantly 😦 for a cooldown maybe but not normally

warped nest
#

Use controller then

#

Game is fantastic with controller

grave frost
#

Are you only able to use 1 Thavnarian onion at a time? Or can you you multiple and it just raises the max level your chocobo can get?

obsidian patio
#

One at a time

rare sable
#

I dont use ctrl and shift... I rebind my f1-f11 keys and the keys around asdw

warped nest
#

You increase the cap by 1, then you max the bar. Then you increase the cap again.

limber jasper
#

I have some manual dexterity issues so keys like z x c v and the like are very hard to use while using wads to move

rare sable
alpine shadow
#

if i delete that one

warped nest
#

Can you handle controller?

#

If yes, then go controller

obsidian patio
#

You have to start from 51

#

If you’re going for the solo achievements you must start at 1

warped nest
#

Combat Actions on controller are done by pressing R2/L2 and dpad or face button

#

There are additional settings but the basic is yeah trigger + dpad or face button

alpine shadow
#

ok :/ i guess ill just remove that save then

rare sable
#

I would suggest, uh, picking up rdm later then

limber jasper
#

I can though depending how game uses camera it's awkward and depending how the game handles attacking and facing. I find controller much easier in an action game where the camera is locked on to the enemy than a shooter for example

warped nest
#

You don't want to lock on in XIV

mossy current
#

Legacy mode has the camera move like controller

#

iirc

warped nest
#

XIV skills is auto aimed

rare sable
#

You die if you lock on boss

warped nest
#

Only 1 skill out of all 15 jobs is manual aiming

mossy current
#

Salted Earth?

warped nest
#

Flamethrower

mossy current
#

Oh that's what you mean

twilit arch
#

then its two

limber jasper
#

well having to manually rotate camera independant of movement is one of the things I have issues with on controllers 😛 I tend to die while rotating camera manually in monster hunter for example since I couldn't see the enemy was gunna rush me

twilit arch
#

because of apex arrow

If Salted Earth count, then Asylum and Scholar bubble too

You said manually aim, so I thought of the bubbles

And AST's earthly star

I was talking about skills that need you to rotate your character

rare sable
#

You know, if you dont mind boss fight spoiler, go youtube "eden savage [class name] pov clear" to get an idea and see which you think is doable for you

#

I would say try rdm, whm, and war

limber jasper
#

doh I deleted my old character but can't use it's name for the new one -_-

#

there a way to increase the size of the speech bubbles/text in this opening cinematic and the like? low vision and all means squinting at it non stop

blazing plover
#

Can someone help me level up a character i'm level 43

#

And the main scenario quest is putting me half to sleep

rare sable
#

@Demonesla uh, there should be an option somewhere but I forgot... is it ui or other config...

spring oasis
#

goldsmith just afk lul

gloomy ice
#

Right click the speech bubble next time it’s onscreen then you’ll see the options under Scale Window @limber jasper

little swift
#

not really a good way to level up to be honest

#

making high quality turn-ins for leve quests/grand company turn ins

#

or ishgard restoration

#

better

spring oasis
#

@little swift ill try some leve's

little swift
#

hq gives you a good bonus

#

if not try making 1 of everything in your log

#

for the first timebonus

#

up until about lvl 20something its pretty good

limber jasper
#

nope right clicking just progresses to the next section of speech the same as left clicking does 😦

obsidian patio
#

Quick synth is terrible experience per craft as you’re missing out on the bonus for raising quality

summer haven
#

I'm not being dumb/wasting money by using the aether network to travel, right? I assume that's how we get around from city to city?

rich lodge
#

I'm trying to level a new tank class, whats the best way to level now? I've got the new ring, the friendship circlet, and food buff. I've heard doing dungeons over and over, and I'm trying to level up my squadron rn to use them

obsidian patio
#

Pretty much, yes. It’s also fairly cheap to teleport until you get to the expansions

little swift
#

@limber jasper talk to a random npc out of cutscene and try that

obsidian patio
#

Tanks want to spam dungeons, yes.

rich lodge
#

My alt is lvl 24

obsidian patio
#

Still dungeons.

#

Just make sure to do your daily leveling roulette for the bonus experience from that.

rich lodge
#

Ok ty
Does it differ for dps?

obsidian patio
#

Instead of dungeons They do palace of the dead or squadron dungeons since they usually have a faster queue

rich lodge
#

OK, where is PoTD? I've heard mention of it, but never seen it. And does it offer any cool loot?

obsidian patio

Deep Dungeon Info
Info

Deep Dungeon Play Guide

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.

obsidian patio
#

Yeah it has a nice amount of loot

#

The sacks you can find inside from certain pomanders (special items inside) can be opened up

#

Usually has random glamour items, materia, fireworks, or a few special things like a hairstyle

rich lodge
#

Oh nice😊

limber jasper
#

cool yeah talking to random NPC I could double windows size 😄 much better

rich lodge
#

I'm sitting around 10 days played total time, so I'm still trying to find my perfect class😅

smoky helm
#

@rich lodge I havent even played yet and I am trying to narrow down my class. I'm looking at samurai, black mage, dragoon and summoner 😰

Please, you won't stick to 1 job

I appreciate the honesty!

warped nest
#

Stick to a job, then you found a player with kickass looking weapon in a dungeon, and now you are playing that job

#

Rinse and repeat

smoky helm
#

That's why I was looking at dragoon lol

#

Looking good is 90% of the battle

limber jasper
#

in WoW all the leveling gear looks like garbage and only level 60 raid gear starts to look nice and even then mostly isn't haha, how does this compare?

@limber jasper dungeon gear start to have better theme and direction from lvl 30 onwards, lvl 50 and up is 👌

#

You can complete Hall of Novice (new player tutorials) and get a functional set which happens to look nice

smoky helm
#

Lchronos, I need like a pros cons for samurai vs dragoon. I'm torn ha!

limber jasper
#

cool 😄 what level do dungeons start? I tend to have more fun in dungeons than questing in games haha

warped nest
#

Level 15

#

Level 15 msq

little swift
#

quest is called

#

its probably pirates

#

dragoon has a more static rotation that makes a lot of sense

smoky helm
#

I thought I was going to summoner lol. Sounded amazing to be able to heal and dps

little swift
#

but can have animation locks that can kill you if you're not careful

#

samurai hits really really really hard with big boi damage numbers

#

summoner/scholar is a 2for1 deal

warped nest
#

Summoner can't heal

little swift
#

its scholar that heals

smoky helm
#

How can i buy this game if i dont know what job I'm going to play , ha!

warped nest
#

In high level, Dragoon cycle between 2 5-step combo. You use Jumping skills to build toward to high energy phase where you get to shoot dragon energy

oak ice
#

That's easy, play all of them

smoky helm
#

I wish

little swift
#

just pick 1 first and then play them all

smoky helm
#

2 little boys

#

Anyhow

warped nest
#

In high level, Samurai natural combo yield you seals and kenki (sword ki). Seals can be used for powerful iaijutsu (draw attacks), while Kenki can be used for various offensive abilities

little swift
#

i lvoe the edit haha

#

honestly snowman try the trial first

#

you're not forced to dump like 60bucks into this game before you try it

smoky helm
#

This is the mmo I want to experience.

mossy current
#

So dedicated

little swift
#

you're still going to have to play the trial portion of the game

so might as well use what you're given

#

but i respect that committment

warped nest
#

Trial let you play everything up to level 35 with some restrictions on social interactions

little swift
#

its worth it tbh to trial first

warped nest
#

Plus your trial save file can be bring over to full game

#

You don't lost anything from playing trial

smoky helm

Rog.

limber jasper
#

wow so auto looting is a thing here O_O

smoky helm
#

I mean, I'm coming from arpgs. So when I buy a game I want to support the devs you know?

green furnace
#

Aside from chests yes

alpine anvil
#

question - has anyone here boosted to shadowbringer and then had uh...issues unlocking older EX modes? if so could you whisper me? i feel bad interrupting the chat here but im a little lost.

little swift
#

no you can still ask here

#

thats the point of it

smoky helm
#

No interruption :)

little swift
#

i understand your perspective though snowman

#

but this game also has a sub fee

oak ice
#

SE isn't a small indie company, no need to worry about trying it free for a bit

little swift
#

so you might want to not have to invest so heavily right away yknow

alpine anvil
#

here is good too 🙂 i guess it's spoiler-y though given the nature of the question but

mossy current
#

Just use spoiler tags

little swift
#

go ahead zski

#

yeah that

alpine anvil
#

@mossy current how do i?

oak ice
#

|| on both sides of the text

little swift
#

or /spoiler at the front of the message

alpine anvil
#

||like this?||

#

ah!

#

||So, I boosted to Shadowbringer to catch my friends because even hours a day felt like I was still plodding through ARR MSQ. So now I'm here, I'm at least starting to get caught up, they're farming older EXs for glowy things. Unfortunately, since I'm on Shadowbringers, the guy that hands out those older EX mode primal quests is MIA. Am i just SOL or?||

little swift
#

no you're not

#

open your duty finder first

#

see if they're in the old trials/raids

alpine anvil
#

i have regular and hard. would EX be somewhere different?

solemn delta
#

I'm on the quest a convention distraction all the dark matters don't do anything

alpine anvil
#

ive already done a hard too, and nothing unlocked

little swift
#

no you just scroll further if you can

#

if you've done the hard there should be an npcs should be at the designated locations with bluequest

raven sage
#

You won't just gain access to old Extremes from the skip so they definitely need to find the npcs

solemn delta
#

It says about thancreds but I don't have any key items

dim ridge
#

the npc WILL be there if you need to do the quest

alpine anvil
#

nobody's there, currently

little swift
#

so you have to go look for the key item ripebear

solemn delta
#

I've looked everywhere in the red circle lol time to check again

warped nest
#

for certain quest to show up, you need to do the quest line

#

you cannot just google the quest to unlock

obsidian patio
#

It can sometimes be sitting on the literal edge of the circle

warped nest
#

then do JUST that quest

#

you need to check if it has any dependency

restive gyro
#

i just unlocked machinist. whats the fastest way to lvl from 30?

dim ridge
#

potd

little swift
#

do your roulettes

#

then highest lvl dungeon spam

#

if you don't want potd

dim ridge
#

or highest level dungeon. but your daily roulettes for sure

little swift
#

floors 51-60

warped nest
#

roulette, dungeon, the potd if roulette/dungeon has way worse queue time

Are shields just item to be put in an armor slot or are they physically used?

smoky helm
#

What about servers? I think this game operates on servers vice realms? I dont mind the sub at all. I'm just chilling.

little swift
#

shields are offhand equipment

#

need to be put in the offhand slot

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah I see

#

Thank you.

mossy current
#

Without one, there are some skills you can't use

#

Shield Lob and Bash

little swift
#

so servers are in groupof megaservers called data centers

leaden ginkgo
#

So I assume it is worth dishing some gil for it

smoky helm
#

It's been a long time since I've played an mmo sorry for the noob question ha.

little swift
#

you just pick one in your geographical area

#

nah its all good

#

all the NA data centers are in 1 place

#

so choose between them

smoky helm
#

Seen.

little swift
#

basically the same

mossy current
#

Aether is best

little swift
#

just choose a server with a ⭐ next to it

mossy current
#

no bias whatsoever

little swift
#

for the double exp on everything

green furnace
#

I was aether before i switched

little swift
#

thats the biggest thing if you don't have server bias

echo tapir
#

sometimes the starred preferred servers are currently full

#

time of day stuff

little swift
#

just make your character in the middle of the night

smoky helm
#

Are there preferred NA servers :)?

little swift
#

yes there are a couple
