Oki doki artichokee. How do I go about obtaining it
twilit arch
queue up for frontlines roulette every day
it'll take a bit to get since its 18k marks
gloomy ice
18,000 wolf marks. They're like tomestones for pvp
Just keep playing. Win or lose you'll get the marks you need.
twilit arch
If queues are generous, then you can also try queueing specifically for onsal hakair since that's more likely to have quicker queues than the other game modes
leaden ginkgo
Oki dok ^^ thank you!
jagged wolf
Do you have to progress through the Main Scenario if you boost up to 70 ?
twilit arch
if you don't buy the main scenario quest skip, yes
faint flare
Yes, as job boosts dont skip story
leaden ginkgo
when is 5.3?
twilit arch
we don't know
faint flare
jagged wolf
Alright, thanks 🙂
leaden ginkgo

mossy current
We have a live letter on the 24th
faint flare
But we dont know how long
mossy current
With 5.3 info
faint flare
But yeah LL soon
obsidian patio
Normal mode can all be done blind
faint flare
Anything with extreme, savage, ultimate, minsitral ballad or binding coils in the name are the ones you do guides for
If it doesn't have one of those tags, its doable blind
Ofc pay attention as always
mossy current
Ok that gave me a good laugh
gloomy ice
They can hold items, equipment, crafting crystals, gil, and yeah are your means to sell things on Market board.
hard elk
oohh okay 😆

thank you!

I basically played the main scenario up until 40 as a scholar and then decided to boost Astrologian to 70, not knowing that I still have to complete the main scenario. Would it be best now to continue the main scenario as a scholar, so I have 2 jobs leveled up ?
faint flare
Its recommended not to skip story the first time through since otherwise you'll have no idea whats going on
hard elk
is it okay the buy the class skip from mogstation to lvl 70?
craggy dragon
what dungeons can i farm quickly to get gc seals as fast as possible?
true but
dont we have to take speed of the dungeon into account
so i should run level 60 dungeons?
hard elk
why i cant participate
eager falcon
sorry if this is a common question but is there really no way to talk with someone on a free trial?
i feel bad for not responding lmao
eager falcon
oof
faint flare
You need to unlock hunts first nexu
leaden ginkgo
So if i find a dungeon that says duty calls it is its own quest?
faint flare
Lv50 "The hunt begins"
hard elk
ah okay main story?
hard elk
oh
obsidian patio
@craggy dragon my personal preference is the level 51-59 leveling dungeons.
hard elk
okay thanks!
obsidian patio
You also need to be second lieutenant in your grand company if you aren’t already
craggy dragon
@obsidian patio gotcha thanks
leaden ginkgo
Use your chocobo for leves if needed
It speed it up
hi guys i just got my blm soulscorge rellic weapon , i love it that it has FIVE materia slots wow

its too good to be true ^^
faint flare
We will see when we can upgrade them
unborn lagoon
How do I copy settings on one character to another one different data centers
faint flare
Are you on pc
faint flare
Go into my games > ffxiv and find your main character (change something on it and it will be the most recent folder) then copy the settings over
obsidian patio
@leaden ginkgo if it will be like the Stormblood relic, we’ll lose the slots but be able to get a higher total amount of secondary stats and be able to customize the secondary stats in some fashion
obsidian patio
@white sinew not sure if possible
hard elk
can i link my current ff xiv acc to steam?
faint flare
If you brought from steam its linked
But non steam license is incompatible with steam
hard elk
oof
proud willow
If you just want the Steam overlay, you can launch any game through Steam
hard elk
good idea, yeah mostly i only want steam overlay thank you!
leaden ginkgo
Im gonna resist buying til the last day of the sale
hard elk
whens the last day tho

okay

Honest Question: Is it worth it to craft (trying Weaver)? The system looks good, but I'm just wondering if I'll be able to craft good gear for myself and that in and of itself would be it's own reward for me. Or am I always going to just get better armor doing PvE?
unborn lagoon
@faint flare ty it worked almost
obsidian patio
The story will keep you geared up pretty much the entire way to 80
minor sphinx
ahh
faint flare
Crafters make money endgame
proud willow
Crafters can even make money early game
there's low level items you can craft and sell for 1000% profit
hard elk
is it not recommended to do blacksmith early?
minor sphinx
ty
hard elk
fishing and stuff
proud willow
It would be easier to power level a crafter when you're high level and have more resources at your disposal, but that doesn't mean it's a mistake to do it as you level up
hard elk
i see okay
minor sphinx
yeah, just mixing it in for variation 🙂
noble plank
What makes crafting for endgame so valuable?
proud willow
People have a constant need of potions and food for raiding
proud willow
and there are crafted furniture and cosmetic items that sell for millions
hard elk
thats awesome
minor sphinx
I will say it's fairly entertaining to gather/craft with the levequests. And I like the thought of gearing myself as I go along as well if I don't pick anything up from quests. Plus it keeps me super occupied 🙂
jade aspen
hey can somebody pls get into vc with me and help me with setting my game up?
i am so lost
please
proud willow
are we talking install problems or doing something inside the game?
jade aspen
inside the game
like
idk how it works and
you guys all pay monthly
so you guys know
i need the help
jade aspen
i first bought the game on steam 4 years ago
and uh
i played for like 4 hours
and now idk how to log in nor what to do
at all
i have money on my steam to resubscribe if needed
i just dont know what to do
leaden ginkgo
what does CD mean?
hard elk
cooldown?
queen cove
It wont let you login through the launcher unless you have playtime
proud willow
that would be a defensive ability with a cooldown timer, like Rampart for example
leaden ginkgo
ohh i see, ty
jade aspen
you mean me?
queen cove
Yeah Merlin
jade aspen
i have 4 hours on it
i forgot my password though and i dont remember my one time password to reset
cuz it's been 4 years
im so lost
LOL
leaden ginkgo
I cant find the last slacking yeomen
queen cove
Reset password again, one time password on the login page are for people who bought a key that randomizes their passwords
leaden ginkgo
It says its rjght around the quest giver too tf
proud willow
Squeenix likes to be cute about the "find the NPC in this red circle" quests
jade aspen
i cant reset, it says i have to have the one time password
proud willow
and puts someone right on the very very edge
leave One Time Password blank, that is the authenticator code
leaden ginkgo
Found him
jade aspen
@queen cove are you able to hop into VC so i can explain everything better
proud willow
so if you never set up the authenticator, you don't need it
leaden ginkgo
Yeah he was like not where it seemed lol
jade aspen
hard elk
i bought this way back
but when i click the unlock the key it just takes me back to the store
was abouut to give this to my friend
leaden ginkgo
Was wondering if when you unlock scholar class .. do you get rid of the number 30 in the arcanist slot and get it moved to scholar? (On website) for example I noticed the pld icon changed for my friend ,whereas mines is still the two swords? So was wondering for scholar since I plan on doing all healers n I think itll bother me seeing arcanist at lvl 30 even tho its prerequisite (not a issue /its just a personal little thought lol
Omgosh this game had a ff15 event to get noctis clothes?
And I
I missed it
Ima cry real tears
faint flare
No cause scholar is its own "separate" job despite it sharing xp eith arcanist
obsidian patio
Arcanist’s icon gets replaced with summoner when you unlock them
And you still have the GLD icon because you don’t have paladin unlocked
Same for the other classes
leaden ginkgo
nooooooooo!!!! XD o okay I have to live w it ig , ty u two :)
there any way to increase the que time for dps cause its like 18m wtf
does it get better as u lvl
faint flare
Que with a tank or healer friend
obsidian patio
@hard elk if you’re positive that you never used the key, I’d try contacting SE store support
faint flare
Dps do have longer que times due to there being lot more dps than tank and healers
ashen jasper
Hey recently returned to the game and everyone I played with has left...Just wondering what the popular EU servers are? Games super lonely by yourself lol
errant junco
I have also just returned and honestly I forgot what I'm doing help lmao
obsidian patio
Population is pretty even for EU. I’d suggest any preferred world on Chaos/Light since others are probably making characters there too to benefit from the bonus experience
sand fern
My apologies if this isn't the right place to ask, but- Would anyone be willing to help me with an issue I'm having installing the game? I can't seem to figure out what's wrong, I'm kind of at a loss.
If this isn't the right spot to ask, I do apologize.
dim ridge
fire away
sand fern
Right, so-
I bought the game through Steam + Shadowbringers' CE. And I had it installing overnight.
I checked this morning and it had about 3GB left on the download.
But my power cut out.
Now when I try to sign in, I get this error.
I've tried googling for a solution. I found a few things [mostly toggling a 0/1 in a config file], but that did nothing.
dim ridge
just to check, have you since 1) restarted your pc and router?
sand fern
Yes and yes.
dim ridge
have you done the 'Verify integrity of game cache' ?
sand fern
I'm unable to select that option through Steam.
dim ridge
??
leaden ginkgo
What level can i get a mount or chocobo
dim ridge
odd. i do hate to say but i usually hear 'reinstall the game entirely' as the next step for that error when a restart doesn't fix it
!mount
zinc orbitBOT
proud willow
!faq mounts
zinc orbitBOT
dim ridge
ty forgot it lol
sand fern
Well that's disappointing. Haha. Kind of wiped my monthly data limit for this.
Oh well. Thank you for the assistance!
proud willow
You could try deleting just the exe file and then reinstalling
I think that would start you back up where you left off, maybe?
sand fern
I've tried wiping the launcher itself while preserving the game files- Same error.
leaden ginkgo
Think i can get my 1st Chocobo today? Im lvl 13
dim ridge
what hiten said
Klesk, depends on where you're at in main story
it's around the level 20 main story quests, NOT when you are around level 20 yourself
proud willow
It all depends on how far you are in— yeah, what they said
dim ridge
if you've neglected main story and you're still in the level 8 bits or something, that's a big difference than if you're at the level 13 bits
warped nest
Most contents in XIV are gated behind your story level
leaden ginkgo
Also is there any hidden chests? Should i explore every nook and cranny?
warped nest
Nah
dim ridge
nahh
warped nest
This game doesn't have missable
leaden ginkgo
I've been following the main story ill keep doing so
warped nest
(it does, but not in that format)
hard elk
@obsidian patio 100% positive is it possible to contact them due to covid 19?
warped nest
Just slow, Neku
obsidian patio
Email support should still be open
leaden ginkgo
I think ill just stop doing side stuff for the most part
how do u guys not get bored with the long dps queues
obsidian patio
Just no text or chat support
dim ridge
if you pick up any of the gatherers, most of the 'hidden stuff' is for them, in the form of rare nodes that spawn
hard elk
okay thank you!
dim ridge
fenharel, i do other stuff during queue, be it watch youtube or gather/craft
warped nest
how do u guys not get bored with the long dps queues
@leaden ginkgo side quests, crafter/Gatherer, fates, beast tribe, golden saucer. Or playing with phone.
proud willow
See if you can join your server's Novice Network, and you can ask someone there to queue with you as a healer
leaden ginkgo
hmmmmmmmmmmmm ok

i would also suggest https://mirapri.com/ its in japanese, but its easy enough to get the hang of
jagged wolf
Is there a way to see what exp bonuses I'm getting from the diffrent sources ?
faint flare
Only the total bonus. Not individual
queen cove
Are there more master recipes with ShB?
dusk zenith
are all dances original in this game?
ashen jasper
trying to clear space in my retainers before I leave server, anything worth buying with company seals? I am gunna be leveling my crafters if that helps
dusk zenith
or are they taken from popular irl dances / music videos?
sand fern
So uh. I cleaned out all my XIV files, including the ARR files under my documents. And tried a fresh installation through steam. Still getting the error as soon as I put in my account info.
I've never had so much trouble installing a game before, sheesh.
dusk zenith
with seals, you can buy venture coins, glamour prisms if you want to convert it to gil, or cordials for gathering
ashen jasper
None of the mats helpful for leveling at all? My crafters pretty much never been touched, didnt know about the prisms tho, thats helpful
dusk zenith
probably cordials are most useful if you plan on leveling crafters by gathering your own mats
none of the mats are particularly useful while leveling
that you can buy from gc
wintry chasm
Some are definitely based on real life dancing
Just have to look at the step dancing one for evidence of that
ashen jasper
Kewl so I'll just get prisms to sell. My gathers are done just been to lazy to do crafters 
hard elk
whats the blue icon mean
dusk zenith
if you plan on gathering mats, i highly recommend buying cordials
ashen jasper
Yeah think it will work out for the best that way, thanks for the info
and I think that means its passive as in it wont attack you
raw solstice
blue color = passive, they won't attack you unless you hit them first
the spikier the icon itself is, the more dangerous it is
hard elk
oh okay thank you!
leaden cape
can i do the daily level dungeon thing multiple times a day to get more seals?
or is it just the one time
vagrant copper
You can always do the roulettes or even specify dungeons to run and get the normal rewards. You just don't get the daily rewards.
proud willow
you can get the Adventurer In Need bonus multiple times, if you queue up as the needed role
but there are better ways to farm seals
leaden cape
im only level 31 so my ways are limitted 😦
faint flare
You can rub everything as much times as you want
vagrant copper
You actually found a dungeon at level 31 that has seals? 
faint flare
Only current raid content has loot lockouts
Roulette bonuses are only obtained once per day
craggy dragon
so if i was farming gcs
oak ice
Only chests
silk summit
And treasure coffers
craggy dragon
i should go unsynced
faint flare
You get stuff in chests
craggy dragon
what about from bosses
craggy dragon
is it worth it to go unsynced then if im farming gcs
oak ice
The chests from the bosses and the ones strewn about will give items
But trash pack won't give exp or drops
craggy dragon
gotcha
oak ice
So if you're farming GC seals, go unsynced so you get all the items
oak ice
No
sinful breach
go the duty finder settings and turn on under sized
oak ice
Undersized party just grabs whatever you have at the moment and drops you in the dungeon
oak ice
No, you can run solo
obsidian patio
Most definitely
oak ice
You can probably do some level 60 dungeon
oak ice
Like Sirensong or Shisui
pearl shuttle
hey.
what do i have to do here?
oak ice
Click on the icon next to the quest name
pearl shuttle
thanks
jagged wolf
If I kill a mob at it says (+180%) exp, is that a full 180% boost or 100% base exp plus 80% from item, etc. ?
wintry chasm
That's a full 180 boost
zinc orbitBOT
devout salmon
Anyone know the easiest way to farm this? Can I do it solo since it's a lvl 60 dungeon or no?
obsidian patio
Don’t think it’s possible to solo A4S except maybe as Paladin due to the high amount of damage from mechanics
slate arrow
you can get the regular undyeable version by farming A4 normal
but if you want the savage version you'll probably have to unsync spam it with level 80s
devout salmon
Aw okay. I don't really know anyone so I'm basically just doing things solo. Thanks for the info, though.
ocean pivot
You can always throw a pf up and see if people are bored and join.
obsidian patio
I’ll join you for A4S spam if others join. Could use a few weapons for glamour
devout salmon
I am only lvl 72, is that a problem?
obsidian patio
If other 80’s join, it’ll be a breeze
devout salmon
I'm down for it if we can find others somehow.
obsidian patio
Just set it up in PF and I’ll join.
proud willow
Me too
devout salmon
I've never set up PF before.
proud willow
Open up Party Finder, hit Recruit Members, choose the duty from the dropdown and write a description
devout salmon
Okay, one sec I'm logging in. 24 in queue.
proud willow

leaden ginkgo
So for SMN does anyone have rotation recommendations. I’m finding it somewhat difficult to get it down
Especially cuz the hotbar doesn’t automatically change to the next one, just the pet command one

obsidian patio
!faq smnguide
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
Thank you thank you~
And what is this
It’s supposed to be a Star a moon and sun right?
Which is which
devout salmon
When I go to PF I can't select the raid tab. Does that mean I can't do it?
leaden ginkgo
Cuz I see 2 moons and a sun
faint flare
First is moon
leaden ginkgo
Or maybe I’m crazy
obsidian patio
Did you actually unlock Alexander savage? If not then that’s why
devout salmon
No, I didn't know I had to unlock it.
obsidian patio
The Alexander questline starts in Idyllshire with the quest Disarmed.
devout salmon
Okay I'll go do that now. Sorry.
obsidian patio
Once you complete the quest “Enigma” you can unlock the savage version of the first set in Mor Dhona from the Wandering Minstrel
proud willow
the AST gauge from left to right seems to be moon, sun, star
faint flare
Well moon, celestial and sun
ocean pivot
Yeah, green ball is celestial. You can check that by reading the description of the cards. But tbh the names don't really matter.
proud willow
ahh
weird, going by card descriptions, the green ball is celestial, but the job guide description lists their names in the order I said
in any case, yeah, the names hardly matter
vagrant copper
Is there a way to use the recommended gear button but like... tell it to ignore certain slots or something?
warped nest
no
craggy dragon
do i get poetics if i run unsynced dungeon?
craggy dragon
ahh ok
devout salmon
Just completed the Disarmed quest and unlocked Alexander normal, where is the quest for Savage?
wintry chasm
you have to actually finish each Alexander tier to unlock that tier savage
devout salmon
Oh okay. How do I get to the next tier?
wintry chasm
so you need to do the first 4 fights and then you can unlock the first 4 fights savage
Continue the questline Cornelius
there are 12 fights separated into 3 tiers of 4 fights
devout salmon
Oh wow. Okay.
wintry chasm
Yeah you're only at the beginning xD
devout salmon
Me: Okay I'm done.
Reality: Nope.
Haha.
ocean pivot
After you finished A4 and finished that quest, you talk with the wandering minstrel in revenants toll.
vagrant copper
... is that why it's called A4?
devout salmon
Okie dokie. Worst part is the duty finder wait times. :p
leaden ginkgo
which light data center server has the best rep / or does anyone know what sever is known for certain things? (only light data center) im currently on tt and i feel like its been very weird, trolly lmao i started on zodi first and it felt so much more friendlier (althought i know thing schange or maybe was my exp) but am wondering if theres any updated stuff on each server? or ur experiences on any of the severs for light
ocean pivot
A4 because it's the fourth alexander raid.
vagrant copper
And let me guess, A4S means savage version?
faint flare
Yes
vagrant copper
faint flare
The first letter is the raid tier (Alexander, omega etc), number is the fight out of 12 (or 13 for coils) and S is savage
ocean pivot
Sometimes I also see A4N if you want to emphasize it's not savage.
devout salmon
Is there any way to expand your glamour chest past 400?
faint flare
No
devout salmon
I'm not near there yet but I can see myself reaching it.. And then I'll panic.
warped nest
take note that some of your gears (specifically rewards from holiday event) can go into the Armoire
and you can still access them in your glamour plate design UI (look for the option to swap between Glamour Dresser and Armoire)
devout salmon
Oh really? I didn't know that.
proud willow
there are also many items that can be repurchased from the Calamity Salvager once you've owned them once
if there's a sale price that says like "Shop Selling Price: 1000 gil (Restricted)" that's usually what that means
wintry chasm
@leaden ginkgo outside of "Shiva is unofficial German" no
proud willow
so if you're not going to immediately use them for glamour, but you don't want to lose the look, it's fine to just throw them out
and buy them again later if you ever want them for an outfit
vagrant copper
Fall damage. Sometimes I die, sometimes I'm left with 1 HP. Is there some condition I'm missing? Seems mostly connected with being in towns but not always.
leaden ginkgo
ty cali ^^
warped nest
@vagrant copper if you are in combat
and jump off a cliff, you might die from fall damage
if you aren't in combat, no matter how big the fall damage is, you will always be left with 1 HP
vagrant copper
That makes sense. Thanks
midnight slate
Which set is good for dancer
Fending
Maiming
Striking
Scouting
warped nest
Aiming
midnight slate
Not an option
warped nest
you don't get to pick
wintry chasm
Probably looking at the wrong menu then
obsidian patio
Then take whatever if you don’t play other classes
proud willow
you should get Aiming from the next quest then
obsidian patio
If that’s a quest reward
wintry chasm
Yeah where are you getting this gear from?
whole wasp
If you're looking at the poetics vendor. Try looking at DoW(2)
wintry chasm
Right then what Hiten said
zinc orbitBOT
midnight slate
I’ll get striking for my samurai
faint flare
Pick a random one cause dancer uses aiming
warped nest
good choice, Yuel
craggy dragon
what are the fastest ways to get the items for coming on its own? the anime quest
specifically the ones purchasable with poetics
there are 3 other options i see here and im not sure which is the best
i have basically 0 poetics
whole wasp
Honestly still poetics
whole wasp
Unless you already havr the beast tribes levelled up and have a huge stockpile of beast tribe currency.
faint flare
Does the precision parts drop in unsync 
whole wasp
Roulettes then spamming ARC i think
craggy dragon
what is arc?
obsidian patio
faint flare
Aetherochemical research facility

ARF oops
hard elk
skill speed or spell speed for summoners ?

Hey, just noticed the CMTools discord isn't on my list anymore and can't find it in history or via my old invite. Something happen or did I just accidentally leave the server?
slate arrow
you probably got kicked off for being idle for too long
faint flare
Tldr the admin apparently had their account banned and discord is hidden for review

oh

Thats the tldr of it...abit more into it but thats the jist of it from what i read from others who were.on it
craggy dragon
is eureka the best way to grind poetics?
little swift
eureka is one way to do it
but roulettes aren't a bad option as well
hunts are a pretty casual way to get poetics too
little swift
every train is like 480poetics
craggy dragon
wondering if its worth the time
leaden ginkgo
So in a particular battle with a shadowy person..I don’t wanna spoil “The Chrysalis” is the dungeon what do I do as a tank
Before I go and fuck up beep
little swift
you tank it as normal
little swift
there's a special bit where you have to stand under meteors
so they don't kill everyone
faint flare
Run away from centre when he dots everyone
And stand in meteor circles
(and hope people melee lb the tear)
leaden ginkgo
Stand in the meteor circles? Like..all of them?
little swift
you and the other tank share the responsibility
faint flare
Yes, to mitigate the damage
^
Otherwise they explode on everyone and probably kill everyone
leaden ginkgo
Ok. Sorry I seem confused. Do I stand on the meteors? Or do I like run through all the little circles lol.
Or do I like stand there until the comet hits me
obsidian patio
Stand in them until the comet hits you
faint flare
Stand in the circle until it hits
leaden ginkgo
Ok so I did...didn’t get healed and then died and then everyone else blew tf up so I’m so lost rn
little swift
you're supposed to do it and people are supposed to heal you for that
leaden ginkgo
I’m laughing so hard everyone in chat is just “??????”
So recap. There will be multiple little circles which indicate where the comets will hit. I am supposed to stand in as many as I can while the other tank does that as well
What about the middle one
sage plaza
that's the death one
leaden ginkgo
So am I supposed to prevent it somehow or is it like welp that’s tuff
sage plaza
it's basically a timer to kill the tear
if it falls then it's literally rock falls everyone dies
leaden ginkgo
Ok so I assume DPS is supposed to handle that? As me and the tank are standing in the comets
Or is there any way I can assist
sage plaza
dps is supposed to burst down the tear yes
healers might assist on tear too
use defensive cooldown when taking the comets
leaden ginkgo
Ok. And the comets are the little circles? So how do I know which is gonna hit first
faint flare
The melee dps should lb the thing you're meant to kill
little swift
don't stress too much
faint flare
So the phase shouldnt last long
little swift
the dps check is doable without the melee lb3 iirc but its so much easier with
faint flare
A neat thing to do is pop tank immunity prior to being pulled in as all buffs and debuffs are extended by alot
So immunities last basically the entire phase
sage plaza
oh, does it extend immunities too?
faint flare
It extnds ALL buffs
Which include immunities
(drk cries cause their immunity changes to something else entirely when they go to 1 hp 
)
broken pasture
If I have uncompleted beast quests can I get more from the same beast the next day?
faint flare
New quests don't show up until you complete old ones
twilit arch
you need to complete them first or abandon
broken pasture
Got it
And if I have old quests past the new day, will I still see the new quests or will I have "wasted" the next day
Like doing two days worth of ical quests in one day
twilit arch
you'll still be able to do the new day's quests

Ok, is there a requirement for roulettes Trials beyond clearing 2 trials and being level 50?
That is what something I read said, but I do not have the option

Whats the best way for leveling crafters? atm I got all my gatherers done, so I was gunna get em all to 50 then 60 and so on
warped nest
1-15 ish: do all low level recipe, this can be accomplished from buying mats from your guild
gloomy ice
Levequests, Grand Company daily turn ins, and Ishgard Restoration turn ins are all remarkably fast once you're above 15 as well.

Afterward you can do Ishgard restoration, GC turn in, and Leve quests

Then I'm surprised I don't see trial roulettes
I beat Garuda and am level 53
I see the trials individually, but not a daily option
proper sonnet
have not unlocked any hard mode trials yet
the story sub-50 trials come in levelling roulette
warped nest
Yeah, 4 players Garuda, Ifrit, and Titan doesn't count
ashen jasper
stupid question do EXP buff clothes work on crafters?
raven sage
@craggy dragon The mobs can't be more than 2 levels lower than you I believe
craggy dragon
the mob was 3 levels above me
raven sage
oop it goes both ways sorry
obsidian patio
Complete the Eureka Challenge log, kill enemies at or one above your level, and do fates whenever they spawn
craggy dragon
wont they probably be much higher level than me?
obsidian patio
You still get a ton of experience for participating if you get invited to a party
craggy dragon
do i need to be part of the party to get the exp?
cant i just deal some dmg and get xp?
obsidian patio
Being in a party will make it much easier to get credit
craggy dragon
theres a credit mechanic?
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
Oh dear
We lost like 3 times bc someone keeps using lb before the tear
;-; what do
obsidian patio
Yes. Being in a party makes it easier to get the max reward for a fate since it uses everyone’s damage/healing in the party
Tell them to stop using LB before tear
devout salmon
Ok I'll join it.
warped nest
@leaden ginkgo write down in chat that LB need to be saved for opening escape portal in 2nd phase
median wind
Is there a way to transfer servers from Primal to Crystal, or Aether?
warped nest
Once people know what need to happen
If any Dps still refuse to listen, others will at least keep them in line
whole wasp
@median wind you can buy a server transfer on the mogstation
leaden ginkgo
Is there anyway to still get a fat Chocobo mount?
vagrant copper
You can upgrade to whichever collector's edition it is on the mogstation
slate arrow
if you're a healer you can also rescue the DPS to prevent the lb3 from going out
vagrant copper
... that's an interesting use of it lol
median wind
Is FC recruitment a different discord, or are there recruiting channels here?
wintry chasm
whole wasp
you can check the recruitment channels below
slate arrow
#494379215420915712 or your relevant datacenter
vagrant copper
#603040765723148289 is an example of one. Have to pick your server role in whichever channel it is
median wind
Thanks. I guess I didn't explore far enough before asking.
leaden ginkgo
I wantthe fat black chocobo so bad T T
mossy current
You can get the parade chocobo still
Which is fat, but not black

median wind
I finished ARR, and have been working on the post ARR patches, but am quickly growing tired of them. How much is required to move on in the story to Heavansward?
leaden ginkgo
Hmm nice good
vagrant copper
All of it. 100 quests or so in total
median wind
Great...
median wind
I lost all faith in this game at about the point where you fight Garuda the first time.
The prequests for that fight I mean.
wintry chasm
That questline is the worst you'll come across
bronze sorrel
but like shit starts to ramp up towards 2.4-2.55
it worth sticking through with it
honest
wintry chasm
The patch stuff however is simply slow really. If you're getting a bit tired I'd suggest doing the 24-man raid
The worst thing you can do is rush the patch quests
median wind
I know this isn't the place for it, but to answer why I lost all faith in the game, it quickly established that it has no respect for my time and intentionally lampshades that fact.
vagrant copper
It was a different time back then. And, yes, it sucks.
vagrant copper
I'll be interested to see how much they actually rip out with the rework
wintry chasm
hopefully not a lot but that's something for #general-discussion
leaden ginkgo
Honestly one reason im hesitant to get addicted to this is that it will be too much of a time sink
How do i know if im still getting the bonus exp for creating my character on a starred server?
Is the road to 70 that buff?
slate arrow
yes
leaden ginkgo
Sweet
mossy current
Idyllshire, just right outside Rowena's building
broken pasture
Are your gathering attempts per node tied to your max GP?
mossy current
Yes iirc
slate arrow
@broken pasture no, it's always 4 attempts for normal nodes, 8 attempts for legendary nodes
craggy dragon
its not there 😦
mossy current
Have you completed Heavensward?
craggy dragon
ive completed all the msq
when i talk to her she just says something and thats all
doesnt give me anything
mossy current
Any 
from Rowena?
craggy dragon
none
mossy current
In Idyllshire at all?
craggy dragon
keeping up with the aliapohs
craggy dragon
yea ok thanks
so if it resets
in 3 hours
all my progress gets erased in 3 hours correct?
mossy current
No
craggy dragon
if they dont give poetics this week
then i have to wait until next week for the reset?
mossy current
Do the book and you can grab another one
You can only do a certain number of books per week, but they have their own expiration date
whole wasp
yea the book expires 2 weeks? i think from when you pick it up
zinc orbitBOT
mossy current
Just do the duties listed and a random slot on the bingocard will be filled
craggy dragon
i get that part
mossy current
You chose the rewards listed of that rank
whole wasp
you can turn in as soon as you fulfil a criteria
craggy dragon
gotcha
whole wasp
which is one line or 9 seals collected usually
craggy dragon
gotcha thx
whole wasp
when you turn in, you get rewards for every criteria fulfiled so if you get 3 lines, you get the rewards for all 4 criterias
broken pasture
What books are these?
whole wasp
Wondrous Tails
mossy current
Loli ket books
alpine shadow
what do i do with this now? https://img.thaun.dev/bwx0l.png
give it to her?
or is there anything more?
mossy current
And choose one of the 3 items listed
whole wasp
if you only have 7 seals, you can use the second chance button to shuffle the seals and see if you can get a better bingo
alpine shadow
all of them useless lol
alpine shadow
well, i dont mind a bit of gil
let me check how much it is
oo, 10k, not that bad
still bad tho
alpine shadow
is it a weekly thing? or can you do it as many times as you want?
obsidian patio
Weekly
alpine shadow
ah rip yeah i just saw that
thankfully i just turned it in before the weekly ends
aight thanks
leaden ginkgo
Are quests like tactical planning for arcanist needed or are they just for exp?
whole wasp
yes do them
slate arrow
all class and job quests should be considered mandatory since a lot of your skills are locked behind them
whole wasp
class quest unlock skills
leaden ginkgo
Like if i only do the main story quest and neglect the arcanist guild quest will i still learn all my skills?
whole wasp
nope
slate arrow
no
leaden ginkgo
Ok good to know
whole wasp
👍
leaden ginkgo
I think i can get by just doing job guild quests plus main story
When should i look into picking a profession/crafting skill? (Not sure what they are in this game)
slate arrow
whenever you want
just know if you want to craft, you should do them all (except cooking/culinarian)
whole wasp
entirely optional
although i suggest getting to max level first
since you would need access to areas that are locked behind the 
leaden ginkgo
Ok thats what i was thinking
echo charm
What's the comfy GCD for SAM? i've playing with 2.40 but i think is kind of slow, right? also is it good to build SAM crit>DH>Det?
obsidian patio
Sam can’t double weave
alpine shadow
oh, ok then
leaden ginkgo
How random is is the timer when a house is up for sale, like when to buy it
alpine shadow
try to look up in the balance discord #582344575394512913, and there i can see the gcd is 2.0s
craggy dragon
are you not able to join normal raids as a party?
alpine shadow
you are
echo charm
oh i got it, ty
jagged crow
Why won't I receive them?
hushed pond
I'd assume no, but is either noctis's outfit or the regalia still available? i can't find info explictily saying no its not but can't find a current way to get it
hushed pond
damn ight, thanks
wintry chasm
Whether they are going to be rerun or put on mogstation remains to be seen
hushed pond
Hopefully either
wintry chasm
It wouldn't be too shocking
wintry chasm
Things like that tend to either get rerun twice or put on mogstation or both
jagged crow
Hmm
wintry chasm
I wouldn't hedge your bets on that FF7 event though
hushed pond
I'd drop like 50$ for the regalia lmaoooo
alpine shadow
i always wondered why SDS Fenrir costs like a whole expansion
whole wasp
because people buy them 
wintry chasm
Probably because it comes with that built in speed boost and because it's cool but that doesn't feel like a genuine question
jagged crow
Why do they make housing so limited
hot eagle
probably also since it was a fanfest reward u got with your tickets
jagged crow
main shard in your home or go to the area itself
click on any of the plots and then bottom left
hit select
jagged crow
Yeah like 30 houses or something in 1 area
leaden ginkgo
I chose the right starting zone thats for sure
jagged crow
Housing is near impossible to get
Also you can get a house in any of the places, but limsa is best 💪
leaden ginkgo
I WANT A HOUSE
jagged crow
Me too bud me too
leaden ginkgo
So the timer to buy houses is random correct? Like when it will let you instead of saying its not ready
jagged crow
I have been searching for 2 weeks now
leaden ginkgo
Or am I wrong
slate arrow
you need to be level 50 first and second lieutenant in your Grand Company first
and the timer is random
but it wont say
leaden ginkgo
Once u get one is it permanent?
slate arrow
that's only a rumor at best
jagged crow
I mean yeah but it would make sense, it has time to refresh
slate arrow
yes, but you'll have to go inside the house or else it auto-demos in 45 days
leaden ginkgo
I need one
whole wasp
you can get an apartment first
jagged crow
Hope you have enough gil for one
slate arrow
(however, due to COVID demolitions are temporarily halted)
jagged crow
I am nowhere close to that
whole wasp
those are pretty common to have vacancies (apartments)
and are pretty cheap compared to a house
jagged crow
See I need a house because my fiance wants to share housing... and you can't do that with an apartment
vagrant copper
I guess you could choose not to but it really depends on what they're locking.
For most people, it's easier to just say to do all them so you can play the whole game
obsidian patio
Most are good to do, yeah
craggy dragon
well i feel like there are raids that i didnt know existed until i did research and found out it was locked behind a side quest
and now im wondering how often i pass good content that i didnt know existed because i literally only focused on msq
whole wasp
they are all marked as
vagrant copper
Oh, in that case, yes, the general recommendation is to complete every blue quest
craggy dragon
i guess ill spend
a week or two then
going from new gridania all the way to shb doing the blue quests
shrewd relic
@craggy dragon good luck dude i have to do the same soon
leaden ginkgo
Gonna play some KH3
wintry chasm
Or the "leves of XXXX"
wintry chasm
They aren't that important unless you want to unlock other classes or do crafting and gathering
The rest though....
You generally want to do them
When you hit the level caps you'll unlock a fuck ton of optional dungeons, some are nice to do but I wouldn't go crazy trying to do them all
I'd just focus on the raids first
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
none, really.
alpine shadow
You can create food for yours and others with less cost than buying it them yourself
hardy stirrup
So none then
obsidian patio
A lot of leveling food is dirt cheap since most people use level 1 food for the experience boost
hardy stirrup
What a shame
obsidian patio
Most of the profit is at the level cap with raid food
alpine shadow
yeah but not for endgame tho
pretty much everyone starves for endgame food
everyone who raids*
hardy stirrup
Which DoH is the most useful in the long run? Whether it is for making money, assisting progression, etc
obsidian patio
Probably Weaver or Leatherworker for making glamour items
since most are made by them
hardy stirrup
Gah
obsidian patio
There's also crafted primal weapons made mainly by CRP/BSM/GSM
hardy stirrup
Can you sell them?
whole wasp
honestly, they are all useful
wintry chasm
Yeah
obsidian patio
Armorer
whole wasp
thats ARM i think
obsidian patio
Blacksmith mainly makes weapons/tools
hardy stirrup
Is it a good one to try out?
wintry chasm
You
A) want to get them all since they all use materials that all the other crafters make, it's really intricate.
B) It's less about what crafting job you're focusing on it depends on more of how well you deal with the marketboard. If you can't find what sells then you won't make money you can't just pick a crafter and suddenly just make anything and make the big bucks
hardy stirrup
Or is ARM too limited in scope? (Only tank and DRG armor)
obsidian patio
Armorer makes a bit of other sets depending on level
Sometimes they make the belts for all roles for a level
hardy stirrup
Seems BSM has a wide range of usefulness for what I tend to do
wintry chasm
If you just level one you won't be able to actually make anything without spending a considerable sum on materials
hardy stirrup
They make the stuff like the weapons you buy from market right?
whole wasp
most but not all
hardy stirrup
Gonna level that first then followed by miner and fisher
wintry chasm
no
whole wasp
ALC makes books for example. carpenter makes staffs i think too
hardy stirrup
Since those 3 are the ones I am interested in
wintry chasm
You should probably do your gatherers first
that way you can gather materials needed for crafting
instead of having to buy the materials if you do crafting first
hardy stirrup
Gonna do them in tandem if I got bored or something
wintry chasm
Unless you really do just want to blow your purse
hardy stirrup
Nvm, just gonna do fisher since it is more relateable
Before anything else
Can you level Fisher in that Ishgard Restoration area?
obsidian patio
Yes.
hardy stirrup
Good enough
obsidian patio
Though I can't say how good it actually is for experience, as I already have it at 80.
hardy stirrup
I just want to do like a few hours of some of the DoL to try their systems out
Rather than focusing on one
Same as DoH
exotic moth
Closet PS4 player (lol) just finished building my pc and of course I’m going straight to 14 - I need to buy the complete edition right? Havent had to buy the “whole thing” before
whole wasp
yes if your character is already in ShB
exotic moth
Sweet thought so. Thank you
hardy stirrup
Do I have to get naked again if I switch to a DoH/DoL class?
Or can I just glam them over with my other stuff
vagrant copper
You could put on some generic level 1 clothing first. And you need something in the slot for glamours to work.
hardy stirrup
Nvm, going naked
frosty badger
is patch 5.3 coming next month?
dim ridge
no date
obsidian patio
5.3 is estimated anywhere between mid-late june and early-mid july.
frosty badger
oh
obsidian patio
But with Corona, the patch can be delayed anywhere from 2-4+ weeks
frosty badger
ok thanks
obsidian patio
No comprehensive sites that I know of, mostly just old scattered reddit threads.
warped nest
5.35 (if this is a thing) and 5.4 will be impacted by covid more than 5.3 will be
obsidian patio
hmm, this link looks pretty comprehensive, though it's probably pretty outdated https://finalfantasy.fandom.com/wiki/Minion_(Final_Fantasy_XIV)
@river portal
river portal
yeah that's outdated
surprised no one has an up to date/comprehensive list the other one I found was 5 years old on reddit
obsidian patio
My favorite is this
Wind-up Ultros giggles at emotes of female players and moves away from male players.
dim ridge
its more people just...go figure it out?
obsidian patio
There's also a lot of minions
over 300
So trying to find all the different interactions can take a lot of time and people
river portal
there's a lot of minions yeah but there's also a lot of emojies to try on 'em I guess
shrug
dim ridge
like imagine trying 10 emotes 400 or whatever times
plus what about the ones that come with artbooks etc
the wind up estinien interacts with one you can't get anymore.
shrewd relic
Do you guys think itinerant moogle will come out next month 😮
obsidian patio
Hard to say, lately they've been doing them before new patches but Corona is throwing a bit of a wrench in things
shrewd relic
Aww okay
ashen jasper
There any guides for what mats re needed to level crafters? just so I can gather stuff before doing it all
obsidian patio
server-dependent, check whatever materials sells the most. But in terms of most valuable I'd check the orchestrion rolls and see which ones sell for the most.
slate arrow
not anything at the moment since the current leather for endgame is tomestone iirc
shrewd relic
Ahh I see
Someone mentioned that some chocobo bardings are also available at rank 3 for fates also right?
Are those any good 😮
I forget the one from lakeland but it sounded cool
obsidian patio
I think only Lakeland has a chocobo barding set.
shrewd relic
ahh okay
obsidian patio
Maybe Eulmore too?
obsidian patio
the barding? it's deepshadow for lakeland
shrewd relic
ooh okay I see it
whole wasp
theres the DNC barding too i think?
shrewd relic
ill check that out too thanks 🙂
blissful elk
if i unlock a mount with a level 20 job, can my lower level jobs use it?
warped nest
mount has nothing to do with your job level
and if you are talking specifically about your companion chocobo
it will match your level
companion chocobo ranks up to get skill point and unlock skills
blissful elk
okie thanks
narrow arch
Ultimately how important is playing to max efficiency? I play dragoon and am seeing these guides with complex math and idk if I NEED to be perfect or if I’m fine with how I am now
I always use my combos and GCD’s
Idk though if I’m playing good enough or if I’m gonna get yelled at some point
shrewd relic
I am by no means an expert but...just have fun 🙂
