It has a long cooldown after its beaten, then has a low chance of spawning

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 12:31 PM

#

Thank you, lvl55 WM, and I am unsure how much longer I have untill I get to that point of the game

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 12:32 PM

The frog suit fates spawn in the last zone of the current expansion.

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

Its a level 80 fate

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 12:32 PM

So you've got a bit before you get there.

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 12:32 PM

#

Dang, alright. Thanks for the info!

wheat lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

Is there a way to lower other people's magical effects?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

There is!

wheat lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:33 PM

#

Niiiice!

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 12:34 PM

I believe it's under Character Settings > Display

#

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:41 PM

#

Carpet

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

When did you buy it?

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:42 PM

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Account Bound items take awhile to deliver

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Oh, but I heard u cant get mail until u hit lvl 20

#

For account wide mounta, that true?

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 12:42 PM

#

Thats not true

#

You can still get the mount, you just can't use it until you get your chocobo

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

Oh ok then Ill just wait thx

#

Btw how account wide mounts works

#

I have it on all existing chars?

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

You have it on all characters, current and future

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:43 PM

#

Oh thats nice thx

hot eagle Apr 20, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

but can take a while till its in your ingame mail on a new character should you make a new one

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:44 PM

#

Oh I justbreceived it now

#

Thx for the help

#

Im still new, didnt know it takes a bit longer to receive item

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

Hey guys, I have a problem with making payment for mogstation

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:46 PM

#

Wait obe more question, if I use account wide mount on one character, how do I equip it on the other?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

The game treats account wide mounts as unique items per character.

#

So you'll get one in the mail for every character you have now or choose to make in the future.

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 12:47 PM

#

Ohh Ibsee

latent river Apr 20, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

if i buy game time sub now, will it start after the free play period is over?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 12:48 PM

#

So you'll have to use the "summoning" item from the mail to add it to your mount collection for each character.

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

So I live in Switzerland but my PSN is a US PSN, because game prices are $20 cheaper in US store. I recently created a SE account which also has US set as its country.

However, as I tried to make a payment in the mogstation, it is rejecting my card because it’s a card from Switzerland, not the US.

Is there a way I can solve this problem? Change country in my SE account or delete my SE account and create a new one to link with my psn?

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

You can try paying with paypal

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 12:49 PM

#

Oh I didn’t see an option

#

Its in mogstation?

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 12:50 PM

#

Wait, yeah, I thought you meant on the PS

#

Sorry

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 12:50 PM

Ah yeah it’s the mogstation I’m having trouble with

Same for ps store.. I have to purchase psn cards from online vendors haha

Hey guys i tried to make a character on Zodiark to join my friends and it says new characters can't join rn

#

Is that a permanent thing or until enough people log out?

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

Some servers you have to wait for an open slot

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

I bought the level boost and story skip, so uh where do I access them now? in my backpack?

rich glade Apr 20, 2020, 12:58 PM

#

@slender sphinx is it possible to start on another server and transfer?

crystal bluff Apr 20, 2020, 12:58 PM

yikes

obsidian wren Apr 20, 2020, 12:59 PM

#

from a moogle postman makoto

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 12:59 PM

I think u have to pay $18 to transfer servers

rich glade Apr 20, 2020, 12:59 PM

Oof

Ok thanks

obsidian wren Apr 20, 2020, 12:59 PM

@obsidian wren ok, thanks a lot! I'll check

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 12:59 PM

I am not entirely sure, I play on Aether and haven't tried to move my character

@obsidian wren I see the envelope but how do I find the moogle postman?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

Zodiark isnt congested so it should free up when theres less people online

obsidian wren Apr 20, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

theyre in the main cities

which one are you near to?

rich glade Apr 20, 2020, 1:01 PM

#

Thanks 😂 seems like I have to walk quite a long way

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 1:06 PM

#

What's the difference between pets and minions?

#

My friend gave me a wind-up tonberry but I also see the option for pets?

wanton lotus Apr 20, 2020, 1:07 PM

#

pets might mistakenly refer to combat summons such as arcanist pets

#

minions are likenon combat companions

vagrant copper Apr 20, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Minions are just cute little things that (usually) follow you. They have no combat ability or bearing on anything.

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Ah, so would my chocobo, be a "pet" then?

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:08 PM

#

Btw I just noticed game's been active since 2010, has there been any 10 year anniversary event this year? or are we hoping for one soon?

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

How do I start heavensward quests Im alrady lvl 51vor do I have to completevastral era now first?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

chocobros are coded like a party member. so really i guess it can be wearycarby

crystal bluff Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

You have to complete all of ARR story @forest lark

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

@forest lark yes, you have to do msq in order

vagrant copper Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

A chocobo is considered a mount or a companion based on what you're doing with it. I think the term "pet" is specifically for summons.

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:09 PM

#

Is astral long lol?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

a little bit, between end of ARR and start of HW, theres 100 quests iirc

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

Oh my

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:10 PM

it gets better and never again.

vagrant copper Apr 20, 2020, 1:10 PM

Until you make an alt for some reason lol

It's a slog but just push through it

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 1:10 PM

#

Cool, thanks! Tobad no Tonberry companions , or nea nea frog =.=

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:10 PM

vagrant copper Apr 20, 2020, 1:11 PM

Oh, right. Minions are also used for that one Golden Saucer thing I haven't tried yet

slender sphinx Apr 20, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Thanks for all of your help with the questions, time for me to get back to slogging to the frog suit fates

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:12 PM

#

Lord of Vermillion is a minigame involving minions

#

but really people just use that one minion to trash the ai

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

is the trial "permanent"?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

it has no time limit

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

oh

#

so i can try whenever i want

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

but you are levelcapped to 35 and other social stuff

#

so no whispering/tell, no guilds, no marketboard

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

i really want to try the game and classes, so i was wondering about time limit

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

bots ruin everything man

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:13 PM

#

i cant talk in normal chat?

brisk oar Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

sorry, new to the server, can i recruit here?

crystal bluff Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

Granted, you could get every class to 35, then buy the full game

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

you can talk in normal chat

#

and party chat in dungeons

#

but no whisper/tell

vagrant copper Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

I think shout and yell might be restricted as well

#

@brisk oar There are various recruitment channels like #603040765723148289 .

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:14 PM

#

@brisk oar you can use any of the #494379215420915712 channels below

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

I like a class flashy, im usually mage/healer and I like swords

#

what do u recommend?

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

Red mage

crystal bluff Apr 20, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

Sounds like red mage

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

Red Mage would be perfect but you cant play RDM in free trial

#

since it requires a lvl 60 job to unlock

#

so maybe gladiator/paladin since swords

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

i like staffs also

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:15 PM

#

or Thaumaturge/Black Mage for big booms

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

i saw a class that had fans

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

RDM only requires level 50, but the point still stands.

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

I like black mage, but man queue wait times, as a healer I get instabt pop uo

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

Dancer has fans but it is also a job that require level 60

#

oops, Red Mage and Samurai are level 50 mbad

brisk oar Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

ok cool thank you

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:16 PM

#

what is "one time password" at client?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

if you dont have one, you can just leave it blank

#

its those authenicator apps

midnight slate Apr 20, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

Yeah you don’t need it

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

or you can buy a physical one from SE store

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

tysm

#

but

#

do i keep my characters ?

#

if i buy

#

game

#

?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:17 PM

#

yup

#

they carry over

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

nice

#

so what class do u guys recommend?

#

flashy, magic

vagrant copper Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

Yes

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

take note that if you buy the game, you cant go back to free trial

crystal bluff Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

black mage is the most "big boom" mage

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

i think Thaumaturge/Black Mage would be the biggest of booms

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

@whole wasp that means if i stop buying game, "i cant try it again"?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

yup

crystal bluff Apr 20, 2020, 1:18 PM

#

correct

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

is black mage kinda supportive/buffs also?

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

nah

#

black mage is pure boom

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

oh

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

other people support you mostly

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

is there a class that has big aoes, magical, and somehow supportive?

#

i could go healer too

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:19 PM

#

maybe summoner for DPS

#

healer wise, Astro has the flashiest animations

#

but you cant start as Astro

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

if you want big booms and staffs I don't think that you could do better than black mage

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

so summoner, black mage or astro

#

im usually a support mage

#

thats why

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

astro as in astrologian?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:20 PM

#

While not a mage class, Bard is a highly supportive job.

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

yea, the card buffs are pretty supportive

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

hm bard

#

seems nice also

#

so many classes

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

the cards are a lot more supportive than they used to be

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

you can start as Archer. 👍

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

archer no

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

big aoes, magical, support
summoner?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Here's the thing - you can be everything on a single character, so you don't have to choose between them.

midnight slate Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

I’m AST rn

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Archer is the class that becomes Bard at level 30.

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

if you level Arcanist, you level Summoner and Scholar (healer) at the same time

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

oh

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

well
you can be everything on a single character as long as you're not limited by the trial run

midnight slate Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

Kinda boring no combo rotation but I feel helpful

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:21 PM

#

You would have to start as ARC if you wanted to become BRD.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

can I be bard summoner and black mage?

#

at the same time

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

Howbdoes one unlock blue mage?

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

Yes but you have to level them one-by-one

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

at the same time, yes
can you USE them at the same time? No.

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

You can't use the skills from all three simultaneously, if that's what you're asking.

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

Summoner and Scholar are the only jobs that share experience because they come from the same base class

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:22 PM

#

But you can level all three jobs on the same character.

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

@forest lark blue mage bluequest starts near the limsa main aetheryte. i think you just need lvl 50 job

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

I like classes that can MOVE while casting

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

SMN is good for that.

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

like spellcasters or just in general

#

lol

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

for example, I main Machinist, but I also can use Astrologian and Warrior on the same character, so I have the big three: DPS, Tank, and Healer all on one character

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

seems like summoner is the way lol

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

summoner and red mage are mobile
summoner moreso according to SOME PEOPLE

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:23 PM

#

BLM is a turret caster - plant yourself and do all the explosions.

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

summ people

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

So im lvl 51 blm rn, I can startbquestbfor blue mage?

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

is bard mobile?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

RDM can't actually move while they're casting.

#

Bard is very mobile.

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

bard, machinist, dancer -- ranged physical dps are the most mobile in the game.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

oof this game is not helping at all

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Because they're classified as "physical ranged dps"

wanton lotus Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

RDM have dual cast that make them more mobile than regular casters

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

they can do their rotation constantly, as long as they have a target

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

@forest lark yes. i just checked, only need disciple of war/magic at lvl 50

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:24 PM

#

Ok by what u said im more interested in black mage, summoner, bard and astro

#

maybe more in sum or BARD

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

Basically, physical classes (Bard, Dancer, Machinist, and all of the melee) have cast-free skills, making them highly mobile.

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

Oh thatsvawesome, who is the quest npc?

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

if mobility is more important than bombast, I would discourage BLM

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

Magical classes (Summoner, Black Mage, Red Mage, and the healers) require them to stand still while they're casting to some degree.

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:25 PM

#

Leylines are really important and require you to be in one spot to benefit fully from them

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:26 PM

@forest lark I believe the NPC is called "Zealous Yellow Jacket"

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:26 PM

@forest lark "Out of the blue" bluequest from a yellowjacket at the limsa main aetheryte

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

my points are

forest lark Apr 20, 2020, 1:26 PM

#

Ooh thx

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

Mobile, High dps, Supportive(healer/buffs), flashy, maybe aoe

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

Summoner.

#

The job you want is Summoner.

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

yeah, that sounds like summoner

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

Every job in this game is flashy, but Summoner hits the majority of your other points as well.

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

like, exactly like summoner basically

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:27 PM

#

is summoner also kinda mage?

#

magical i mean

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

Yes

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

Yes

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

yeah

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

lol

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

Its a caster

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

Summoner are classified as magical ranged dps.

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

so your starting class would be Arcanist

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

And its probably the most mobile caster

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

and bard? bard attracted me also

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

And does good damage

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

Bard is physical ranged dps, not a spellcaster.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

can bard be by arcanist?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

No, Bard starts as Archer.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

rip

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

once Arcanist hits level 30, you can go to Summoner for DPS or to Scholar for Healing

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:28 PM

#

uh scholar

#

seems nice also

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

Scholar is a barrier healer.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

if u guys play league, my mains are lux, janna, sona

#

and jinx

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

Scholar is Barrier and Fairy

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

probably scholar and sum are the best for me

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

Scholar is what I thought I could measure up to as a nocturnal-sect AST

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

They primarily rely on shielding allies from incoming damage (as opposed to reacting to damage taken).

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:29 PM

#

Turns out, Scholar is better at barriers than AST

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

And WHM is better at regens than AST.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

i thought bard was a healer, not physical dmg

lament wagon Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

well obviously ast wasn't gonna be better

#

because he can do way more than just that

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

Bard has kind of evolved over the course of this game

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

AST traded some healing tools for party buffs

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

AST is the absolute middle ground, they can do both things but not as good as either of the classes dedicated to those things

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

They started out highly support then kind of went DPS then have some support again

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

AST is mostly buffs, frankly

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

Nope, Bard is a physical ranged dps job that offers party support in the form of three "songs"

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

Bard has always been DPS

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:30 PM

#

black/red mage are the mages full dps of the game?

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

well, and healing ofc

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

fck bard i like bard, but seems summoner and scholar are great too

#

bcs of the songs

#

bard enchants me

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

"full" Dps is not often used to classify jobs tbh

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

Black Mage is the pure mage job. Stand still and cast all the big explody things, but can't take a hit.

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

Ehhhh

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:31 PM

#

if black mage stands still, thats not for me, i like mobile

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Red Mage is a hybrid mage - they build up black and white mana using their cast abilities, then jump in to melee combo and expend that.

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

What

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Really though you can level up all classes to 80 so if you're not feeling a class you can just try another

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Wtf

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Bard isn't a pseudo mage

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

is it not?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

No

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

They're not a mage at all

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

Please stop using these classification

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

No

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

Bard is not a mage

#

Not even close

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

Oh wow, ok. I super take that vack

You're 4 years out of date

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

or is there any video in game when choosing classes?

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

RDM is not a hybrid mage either

#

RDM is just mage with dualcast trait

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:32 PM

#

There is no hybrid roles

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

Yes it has enchanted swords

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

You're either a DPS, Healer, or Tank

manic sentinel Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

what should I buy with the yellow gatherer scrips? I already got the full 70 handking crafting set

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

Thats it

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

But I would want to avoid adding adjectives to roles

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

Sorry, stepping back from this convo. Thought BRD had some mage-y elements, was totally wrong

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

You can buy folklores

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

I classify it as "hybrid" because they have a melee combo, which is unique to that job.

#

They're still mages though.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

this game remembers me dragon nest dunno why lol

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

Its not a hybrid

wanton lotus Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

#

the RDM comment was referring to melee combos needing to proc the strongest spells i think

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:33 PM

Don't call it that

its still a mage that happens to have melee spells

Its not a hybrid mage, its just a mage

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:34 PM

#

Paladin can cast magic, but we don't call it a magic tank

Or a hybrid tank

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:36 PM

There are skill showcase videos on youtube.

only the master recipes are worth grabbing with the crafting scrips?

But nothing in game, if that's what you're asking.

Yeah, I apologize for any confusion I caused. I clearly don't know things as well as I thought I did. Disregard my messages when it comes to what you use to decide on a class.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

ok thanks

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:36 PM

#

But I dunno if MrHappy explains them at a beginner level though

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

@manic sentinel you could get materia VIIIs and sublimes for your crafting gear

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

Still worth checking out if you can't find anything else I guess

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

ohwait, yellow scrips? use them for the crafter relics

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

Materia 7s are definitely worth picking up

manic sentinel Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

sublimes are with white scrips though

#

alrighty! ASsalute tyvm

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

You'll need them to overmeld your gear

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

yea mbad, i only saw scrips

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

im not that begginer in mmorpgs, but kinda wanted to check the skills for get a more view of the "late game"

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:37 PM

#

So build a stockpile now

manic sentinel Apr 20, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

what's the current stats priority?

#

in terms of melding

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

A class having a magic based and melee based attack can be useful though with regards to certain mobs which have high resistance against one or the other. Hells Claw (An ARR A rank) for example has a reflect for either magic or physical damage. As a RDM you could switch to your melee combo if it puts up the magic reflect up. Same with PLD depending on your level.

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

I feel that you might be better off watching FFXIV Shadowbringers job action trailer on YouTube.

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:38 PM

#

It depends on the class

fresh lodge Apr 20, 2020, 1:38 PM

Then ask us questions on jobs that interest you, @covert berry

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:38 PM

aight! tyvm man

whole wasp Apr 20, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

yea, there are meld set in the balance that are more specific

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:40 PM

#

There's cheap meld options which require a bit more preparation for crafting, then there's BiS melds which involve a lot more effort

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:40 PM

OK, at endgame, Bard cycles between 3 songs. Each song has a chance to activate bonus skills.

ok the class with book, which one is it?

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:42 PM

I figure rotation is something they can learn as they go once they've picked a class to start with 😄

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:42 PM

Summoner and Scholar

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:42 PM

DPS and healer

#

wow

#

🙂

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:42 PM

Because they both start from the same base job: Arcanist.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:42 PM

#

i felt in love with the book

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

Scholar uses a codex, and Summoner uses a girmoire

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

so i can be scholar and summoner in end game right? but in different timers

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:43 PM

may go arcanist

#

when do i choose class? lvl30?

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

SMN and SCH technically use Arcanist EXP, so you level both at the same time

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

the sum/scholar

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:43 PM

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

You will be given instruction at level 30 to select a bluequest to upgrade to either Summoner or Scholar.

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

It's just they use different gear sets, as Summoner uses casting (and grimoire) and Scholar uses healing (and codex)

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

You can do both.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

wait

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

But the game will direct you to pick one to start with.

warped nest Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

SMN and SCH technically use Arcanist EXP, so you level both at the same time
I do want to add that they uses different gears and they have individual (compulsory) quests to complete

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

bard uses a bow?

#

meh

#

i think im excluding bard from the list

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:44 PM

#

Yes, Bard starts as Archer.

#

So they use a bow

#

Later bows have a harp-like appearance to them.

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 1:45 PM

Retainer Guide

Info

What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.

How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.

What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)

Definitely make use of your two retainers though.

Also depends on if you have retainers unlocked to sell things on the marketboard

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 1:54 PM

HQ, dungeon, and endgame gear you're done with you can hand over to your Grand Company (if you've unlocked it) for GC Seals.

There's some mob drops that if you don't do any crafting aren't that valuable, but once you take up crafting are extremely useful

The exchange is that you should be able to pull and survive having pulled more mobs at the same time.

Coil synced is a lot more involved I would say. You'd be stuck it in for a decent amount of time depending on which turn you got if it was part of roulettes.

If you're a dps, you can always queue with a tank or healer for shorter queues

It's not that you can't find people to do it synced, just don't expect that if you pop up a PF one day that it's going to be filled instantly (or at all)

@open coral may go summoner, but my favorites are white mage, summoner, astro! scholar is kinda... mmm need to try

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 2:14 PM

The only healer you can actually play as a healer from level 1 is White Mage (Conjurer), and people tend to say that feels boring if they're looking for flashy.

#

Until level 30, they're the only healers though.

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 2:15 PM

#

Red Mage is also interesting with regards to expectations. If have a poor party and are at level of Vercure and Verraise it can sometimes end up being a helping keep people alive instead of DPS-ing.

Yes, you can be every class.

Your starting class only matters inasmuch as you are stuck with it until you complete the level 10 class quest.

After that point, you will be free to learn to be any other class in the game (for which you have met the prerequisites)

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 2:20 PM

DRK/AST/MCH are the only ones where you are locked by expansion

The others are locked by level requirements.

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 2:20 PM

narrow glacier Apr 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

The thing with the EXP system is that you're technically gaining EXP for Arcanist, which is the base class for both Summoner and Scholar. This is why they both level up with each other

covert berry Apr 20, 2020, 2:26 PM

thats cool bcs since i like healers and sum, when i lvl one, i level the other

and i can lvl all classes and try

Need always beats Greed, regardless of what the roll actually was

if i roll a 1 on Need and you roll a 99 on Greed, I get the drop

it's a system to make sure that people who can actually use the gear get first dibs

@frozen niche there's a quest at your grand company headquarters called "my little chocobo"

ooo so I should go back to my Company headquarters and search for that quest then. So painful just keep walking and walking xD

wheat lark Apr 20, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

You might have the side quest in your log. You need to talk to a person from your grand company to get an object to finish the side quest.

frozen niche Apr 20, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

Thank you @twilit arch

#

I see @wheat lark , I will check that. Never came across any Chocobo quest yet

wheat lark Apr 20, 2020, 2:48 PM

It should be the person who you were talking to for your grand company quest in the city. It should have the blue + symbol on his head.

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.

frozen niche Apr 20, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Also another question is at what level can I have job? Like White Mage is what I am looking forward to learn. I thought it is also somewhere in the story quests line but apparently not 😢

#

@rich bay thank youuu 💯

open coral Apr 20, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Level 30 is when you get the quest to upgrade your class to a job.

#

Provided you've been doing your class quests as you go.

frozen niche Apr 20, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

oh xD ......... alright I should go back to my class quests too lol.

msq and bluequest are important.

wheat lark Apr 20, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Do the class quests when you are at that level to do them. Do the mount quest when that is available. Then do main story.

barren holly Apr 20, 2020, 2:56 PM

i wouldn't do sidequest unless you are seriously bored or there's a good reward

Don't bother doing the additional job ones unless you actually want to unlock the associated jobs.

There are also "riding maps" available through Hunts and some other sources which can give you a second riding speed increase.

You'll have to wait until they're less busy.

Or simply create your character on a Standard world.

You won't get the xp bonus, but you will be able to start your character.

Grand company turn in exp isnt for combat classes?

faint flare Apr 20, 2020, 4:04 PM

#

No

#

The turn ins are.for non combats

#

There's grand company leves but leves in general are pretty bad xp for combats

#

Btw guys, are there “builds” in this game? Or everything just relies on your gear levels?

faint flare Apr 20, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

Only builds are different gear sets for different stats

#

Everyone has the same skills

#

In that job

#

No specs or anything

#

Just "do you want more of this stat or this stat"

leaden ginkgo Apr 20, 2020, 4:08 PM

#

Ah I see

#

Thank you:)

faint flare Apr 20, 2020, 4:09 PM

#

There's usually like 2 or 3 BiS lists for each job

#

Depending what speed thresholds you want
