[leaden ginkgo]

There’s quite a lot though 😂

[bitter plaza]

if you want to fly right now there's only one area where you can, and it's back in Heavensward

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a way that I can know which map Im in? Arr or hw etc

[bitter plaza]

press the M button

it opens the minimap

[warped nest]

Open Map

Your mini map should be always on

[leaden ginkgo]

I mean as in

[warped nest]

You meant the normal map

[leaden ginkgo]

Which one is ARR

Which one is HW.. which one is SB

[warped nest]

Check enemy level

1-50
50-60
60-70
70-80

ARR, HW, SB, ShB

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah I see

I havent met any thats above 60 yet

[scarlet arrow]

any zones in Thanalan, the Black Shroud or La Noscea along with Coerthas Central highlands and Mor Dhona are ARR

[warped nest]

Eventually, you will just remember which is which

[leaden ginkgo]

Do u think I manually need to find how to access them and then touch the crystals?

[warped nest]

No

Your will make you visit all of them

[scarlet arrow]

if you skipped they should automatically be unlocked

[warped nest]

That too

If you buy a story skip, it will unlock locations you would have visited through story completion

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah I got the ShB map but havent found the HW and

SB yet

[warped nest]

Open your teleport menu

[leaden ginkgo]

But the map name is Ishgard?

I am now

[warped nest]

SB is parked under Kugane

[crystal bluff]

coerthas on eorzea map is HW

[warped nest]

ShB is under Norvant (however it is spelled)

[leaden ginkgo]

Ah, Othard?

[faint flare]

Ishgard is labelled foundation

On the list

[leaden ginkgo]

Woww!!’

I just hold triangle

And its flying now 😂

[warped nest]

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks so much guys! I really appreciate ur helps!!

This is pretty cool

[leaden ginkgo]

I just realized Im in an underwater map and I’m “flying” 😂

[final sandal]

how do veteran rewards work across data centers? i was able to claim them fine on one server but when i made an alt on a different center they have no mail from moogles

[vagrant copper]

You should get them eventually. Might just take some time.

[twilit arch]

Works the same, they get mailed to the character. might take a little bit for you to receive it

[final sandal]

i've been playing on that alt for like 1-2 weeks already

[vagrant copper]

Have you poked the moogle with the request rewards button?

[polar cairn]

Anyone know why in crowded areas my frAmes drop from 144 to 50?

[final sandal]

@vagrant copper i'll try that

[inner birch]

what's the fastest way to cap tomestone of allegory?

[twilit arch]

hunt trains are pretty quick, can also be lazy and just do 5x experts a week to cap

[inner birch]

what's a hunt train?

[boreal aurora]

@polar cairn PC not strong enough? lower some settings

[twilit arch]

hunt trains are when you kill A/S rank mobs in succession, generally A ranks

[inner birch]

i have no idea what's that lol

[twilit arch]

easiest way to find and get onto a train is to join a hunt linkshell (shout in a major city) or join one of the various hunt discords that account whenever a train is about to start

[carmine roost]

bought the shadowbringers dlc on steam, how do i activate it?

[vagrant copper]

I think you need to go to Mogstation and activate it there...?

[twilit arch]

Yes, get the cd key from your steam library and the put the code into mogstation

[inner birch]

oh ok

thanks

[carmine roost]

put it in the code entry thing in mogstation, says its invalid code

[humble maple]

not sure if anyone here can help me, but there is one armor set that looks like the ishgardian guards unifrom. anyone know what it is called?

[twilit arch]

Did you select the "Enter Item code" button or "Enter Expansion Registration Code"

because if you used "Enter Item Code", its going to be invald

[carmine roost]

oh okay, got it now thanks

[river portal]

two things, I suppose I'm not suppose to be running eureka solo and who hurt Yoshi P to authorize losing xp on health this is kinda sadistic lol

[carmine roost]

any way to play the main game whilst the dlc downloads? i got .60MB/S and kinda wanna let it sit overnight and play now

[faint flare]

Eureka was meant to invoke/be a love letter to old school mmos

[drifting atlas]

What is best resolution for Ff14 ? I haven't played and now everything is messed up. I tried fixing but it looks off

[leaden ginkgo]

afaik best resolution for ff14 is always biggest

[drifting atlas]

60hz or ?

[carmine roost]

id imagine u want ur fps to be what ur screen hz is

[drifting atlas]

What about for scaling UI ? 100% looks bad so do I make it different ?

[vagrant copper]

How does it "look bad"?

[drifting atlas]

Oh nvm, I clicked 150 applied and went back to 100 and it looks fine . UI elements looked too big

[shrewd relic]

I just saw like a glowing red yeti mount, does anyone know the name of it?

[drifting atlas]

Also, is there a way to disable this little white hand that points to an item whenever I open up my inventory or try to close some window by pressing "ESC" ?

[vagrant copper]

Almost sounds like you're in gamepad mode but IDK. In one the of the configuration windows (can't remember if it's system or charater), there's a toggle in the upper-left. Go see what it is

[midnight slate]

Should I only do msq roulette once
Or can I do it repeatedly?

[vagrant copper]

You only get the roulette bonus once a day. You can get the adventurer in need bonus as much as you want. You can also just run it for fun or to help people if you want.

[midnight slate]

Ugh I don’t wanna play healer

[faint flare]

Adventure in need bonus is negligible

[midnight slate]

When do I get HOH?

[faint flare]

When you're finished with the ruby sea

[boreal aurora]

is the 2b glamour hard to get

[faint flare]

No, just rng on winning the roll

3 coffers of it drop at the end of copied factory

[ocean pivot]

Even not that much rng. At this point most people already have it and it's not rare to be the sole person to roll for it.

Just need to be lvl 80 and finished ShB MSQ to unlock the raid.

[lament geyser]

Whoop my plan worked

Set an alarm for 1am, now I e git a slot on a preferred server

[proud willow]

amazing

[ocean pivot]

Congrats 🙂

[mint oar]

Are glamour items locked to whatever armor you equip it to? Or does it go seamlessly whenever you change gear?

[proud willow]

You apply the glamour and the item retains that appearance

if you want to repeatedly apply a glamour each time you change gear, you can do that too using the glamour dresser

[ocean pivot]

If you glamour something, it's that item that has the glamour. If you change to a different item, you don't have the glamour. If you change back, you get it back.

[mint oar]

So it seems kind of rough on low levels when you change gear a lot

[proud willow]

It's one click to reapply a glamour plate, it's just that you have to be in a city zone to do it

[ocean pivot]

Glamour plates. You can set a plate and apply everything at once (assuming you are in a city)

[warped nest]

glamour copies the appearance of a gear to another gear

[ocean pivot]

Or you can wait until your gear progression slows down.

[warped nest]

Glamour plate is a preset of glamours

[lime sphinx]

can we send ceremonial invitation to people from company that arent friends?

[faint flare]

Believe so

I think some people get randos to come

[ocean pivot]

You can give it to random people. Source: I was a random at a wedding.

[warped nest]

yeah

i can attest to this as well

[faint flare]

As long as theyre not a wanderer ita fine

[warped nest]

we just show up at the weddings and i even brought some champagne

[faint flare]

Cross world wedding attending isnt a thing yet

[scarlet arrow]

lol

[twilit arch]

its the same weather for everyone

[warped nest]

server

some of the weather condition are unique (in that they are tied to appearance of rare open world bosses)

there is no reason to sync only unique weather condition

yes

skill speed has tiers, so you should aim to hit a specific tier

going faster has diminishing return

gears themselves has a internal cap on each stats

[hushed furnace]

Where do I go to recruit for a dungeon exploration? As part of the story

[warped nest]

if you use Duty Finder, the game will match make you

if you use Party Finder, you can manually recruit players

just using Duty Finder should be fine

[hushed furnace]

I’m in party finder right now and so far only have one other

[faint flare]

Use duty finder for story stuff

Party finder is primarily for higher end content

[prime harbor]

Does best gear drops from end game bosses ?

[faint flare]

Yes, BiS gear is a mix of savage gear and upgraded tomestone

Upgrade items for tomestone gear is gotten via savage first

Then they add the 24man for casuals

[signal rover]

What are the "rules" on aggro range resetting? In some duties it seems to happen a lot and others seems to be non-existent.

[faint flare]

So they can get the upgrade itemd

[prime harbor]

Thanks

[faint flare]

Aggro rarely resets in dungeons after arr

ARR dungeons are just weird

[twilit arch]

pretty much the only way to reset in dungeons is to lock them out via boss room

but outside of that, generally in dungeons they do not have an deaggro range

[lethal cape]

How does gear progression work in game once you hit level 80 and finish ShB?
Like... What raids/dungeons/whatever they are called do I join to get my first gear set all the way to the best in-game set

(as a whm)

[little swift]

@white sinew use the !daily command

use in #kupo-bot-spam

[prime harbor]

@lethal cape https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=UFkbad6Jyvk&t=204s

I just watched it pretty good stuff and ez to understand

[lethal cape]

470 ilvl is cap?

[little swift]

nope GC turn-ins are later in the day

470 is not ilvl cap

current cap is 500/505 for weapon

Can you fly

in this game and if yes how

[little swift]

!faq flying

[zinc orbit]

Flying FAQ

Info

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

'What zones can I fly in?'

Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.

[little swift]

@leaden ginkgo

[leaden ginkgo]

What level do i have to be ?

to start all this

[ebon kindle]

Got a problem, trying to unlock Pharos Sirius Hard -- But... there's no quest showing up at Diamanda in Aleport, so we're not sure if we're missing something.

[obsidian patio]

At least level 50, as flying isn’t possible in the base game zones

[little swift]

legendcloud you have to be well into heavensward

so 50+ as wynne says

[leaden ginkgo]

i am lvl 52

[obsidian patio]

@ebon kindle did you complete the original dungeon?

[little swift]

are you in heavensward?

[ebon kindle]

Literally just ran the duty on normal, but Dia doesn't have even the quest in red like she should if it wasn't completed - but there's nothing at all like, on her or the NPC in Limsa

[leaden ginkgo]

hmm idk if i am

i think yes

[little swift]

Check your

And if you can teleport to ishgard

[ebon kindle]

Nevermind sorry Wynne we've just found out our friend is... clueless rq sorry

[leaden ginkgo]

i am at the quest "A hard hapalit to break" atm

[little swift]

You got a bit to go before heavensward

You're in the a realm reborn post patch quests

[leaden ginkgo]

so thats why i get no fuckin exp

[little swift]

Yeah those weren't meant for exp

[muted sierra]

Pharos Sirius Normal has a follow-up quest to it, if you haven't done it

I think it's called "Why So Sirius?", But I'm not sure

[leaden ginkgo]

Is road to 70 buff only for levels or does creating a character on a preferred server have other benefits? I remember reading something about getting a million or something idk if they meant story or that was old

[twilit arch]

preferred servers also give you 10x silver chocobo feathers and 15 days free

[leaden ginkgo]

So no extra gil right

(and ty :) )

[twilit arch]

the 1mil gil is for new servers, which there aren't any currently

[leaden ginkgo]

oh okay ty^^

[nova urchin]

where are the calamity salvagers located?

[twilit arch]

Old Gridania (10, 8), Ul'dah - Steps of Thal - Merchant Strip (13, 13) and Limsa Lominsa Upper Decks (11, 14)

[nova urchin]

thank you!

[spark robin]

has anyone ever received error 406 when trying to renew a subscription? I'm getting the 1 EUR test charges to my bank account but the actual charge isn't going through.

[twilit arch]

hmm 406 seems to be an issue with your card information not being correct or some kind of issue with your bank. Are you using a vpn perchance?

[spark robin]

No i'm not. I also searched my location to see where google thought I was and it's accurate

as i said the test charges are going through so i think my card information is correct

[twilit arch]

Either contact your bank about it or contact support, but either way i would suggest not attempting to try again, atleast not immediately, since you're just going to get repeated test charges on your account

[spark robin]

😔

yeah i put a support ticket through already i just want to play the game

[twilit arch]

my only other suggestion is to try and see if you can purchase crysta with like paypal or something

[spark robin]

I tried buying crysta and i get an error before i can even get to the payment screen

[twilit arch]

:\

[spark robin]

as soon as i click an amount

[twilit arch]

hrm, seems like something is triggering their anti-fraud system?

[spark robin]

christ

i think the last time i paid for a sub i might have been in the states? maybe that has something to do with it

[twilit arch]

yes that is probably it

[spark robin]

im not 100% i was though

i think i was still here in australia

[twilit arch]

since a change in location is one of the things that can trigger it

[spark robin]

guess i just have to wait for square enix to get back to me

[twilit arch]

unfortunately, sorry couldnt be of more assistance 😦

[spark robin]

thanks for your help anyway

[crystal bluff]

what tank class would you guys say is the easiest to pick up?

Paladin, probably

[warped nest]

[pseudo reef]

on this server, is there a group finder or does everyone just use the PF?

[spark robin]

@twilit arch reckon i could buy game time as a workaround for now?

a game time card

[twilit arch]

hm, i think it should yeah

[spark robin]

alright ill give that a go

[warped nest]

@pseudo reef Duty Finder match make you with other players, is that what you are thinking about?

[hushed furnace]

Has anyone ever been locked out of a boss fight?

I just was for like a minute then it teleported me back in

[proud willow]

15 seconds after the boss is pulled, the arena locks

anyone outside at that point will get a prompt to teleport in

if you don't accept the prompt, it will automatically teleport you in eventually when it times out

[hushed furnace]

Ah

[trim cargo]

is there a way to display all quests on the map rather than having to be in a certain area 1st and then it displays all the quests?

[hard elk]

how do u get those mech like chocobos

[vagrant copper]

Ducky, don't think so.

[warped nest]

@hard elk some of them are from completion

[vagrant copper]

Neku, if it's the walking magitek mount, then you have to get far enough in the MSQ and then a level 50 quest pops up in Mor Dhona

Or maybe I'm reading that wrong and the quest only unlocks special stuff

[warped nest]

It is definitely MSQ

You can't miss it

You can't even discard the item that unlocks the mount

[hard elk]

okay yeah im close i think

thank you

[warped nest]

Enjoy

[rugged flicker]

What category in leatherworking are guocs under? x.x

Oh wait

Forgot about the arrow button ~.~

[pure anvil]

New player. Wanting to start healing on my fresh 30 Scholar. I realize not crucial right now, but im already thinking of setting up a good ui/hud for dunegon/raid healing. Can someone point me to a good guide? Is there a good website or good content creator someone can recommend? Thanks!

[warped nest]

!faq balance

This might have recommendations for hotbar setup

Huh...

<@&472496619577671691> is it just me or is Kupo not working?

[fresh lodge]

Its down

[iron nexus]

Just got to the eden's gate quests. Is there a limit to how many times i can run them? IE can I farm one for antiquities?

[fresh lodge]

You also probably didn't need to ping the entire role for that

[barren holly]

Can I reacquire softstepper set

[faint flare]

Eden gate is free regin

[iron nexus]

Thank you Vinyl

[twilit arch]

Yes, they're on the calamity salvager @barren holly

[barren holly]

Ty

[faint flare]

Eden verse (the next 4 fights) is weekly locked to 1 token per fight

[iron nexus]

Roger

I just want that armor set D:

[warped nest]

@pure anvil If you cannot find any resources, here are some some tips:

• you want to rank buttons by how often you want to press them. For skills you want to press often, you should keep them close
• then figure out buttons you don't want to screw up (limit break for example), you should make them the hardest to reach
• referring to the first point, Ability with 30-60s cooldown time qualify as buttons you want to press often

Hopefully these tips can get your started

[pure anvil]

Naw I wasn't thinking hotbar setup. I meant more like ui layout. Frames. Stuff like that

[warped nest]

Ahh

Tbh, not much, the only tip I would give is to move your party list closer

[faint flare]

As long as you can see things like your cooldowns and what the boss is doing easily, there is no real "meta"

[warped nest]

So it is easier to select a specific party member with your mouse, and take less time to glance

[faint flare]

Some people shove everything to the centre, some put everything to the edge

[warped nest]

I have job gauge and cooldown tracking hotbar near my character, so I don't need to move my gaze too far away to see them

But another player can be so good at mentally tracking their cooldown and gauge, they would put theirs on the edge, and open up more space to see their character and the fight

It comes down to what works for you

[leaden ginkgo]

Hoyl shit man these quests never fucking end. 3 hours of questing at lvl 52 still on these pre quests that give no EXP. Exhausting. Can anyone make me feel better by telling me the road from 52 to 80 will become easier and faster soon?

[warped nest]

You are in patch quests

Between base ARR and base HW

[leaden ginkgo]

i realize that doesnt make it better tho

[warped nest]

Patch quests for last expansion are less tedious

[faint flare]

The slog between arr and hw is annoying but it.picks up towards the end

And other post patch stuff for other expansions arent as dragged out

[warped nest]

I would say it is around 30 patched quests for each expansion

It is 100 for ARR

[faint flare]

Its like 40 give or take

[warped nest]

Around that ballpark yeah

@leaden ginkgo

What is the last Trial you did from these patched MSQ?

[leaden ginkgo]

uhh idk man i stopped playing for a few months and just came back

[warped nest]

Ahhh

Have you fought umm.. Leviathan (big sea snake) or Ramuh (old thunder dude with beard)?

[faint flare]

Just say what quest you're on

[warped nest]

Sorry, discord lag

[wintry chasm]

around 43 Chronos for expansions

not 30

[leaden ginkgo]

i did fight ramuh

[wintry chasm]

You're near the end

[leaden ginkgo]

i am on quest back and fourth now

and yes discord lags like shit

[wintry chasm]

Which is to say

over half way there

[leaden ginkgo]

i am on quest back and fourth now

hah gotta love discord glitches

[warped nest]

around 43 Chronos for expansions
@wintry chasm noted, thanks

[leaden ginkgo]

so when all this patch bullshit is done how long of ingame playtime will it take me to get to 80 ?

[wintry chasm]

Oh God

Honestly however long it takes you to do the main story

[warped nest]

If you dont skip cutscene (please don't), it should be around I would say maybe 40 hours per expansion?

Hard to calculate in-game time

[wintry chasm]

and it's long enough I feel uncomfortable giving an answer since it greatly depends on what you do and how fast you are

[leaden ginkgo]

man all the cutscenes sucked major cock so far ngl i cant watch them

[warped nest]

Just play at your own pace, unless you are trying to finish so you don't need to pay more subscription fee

[mossy current]

ARR ones are meh, keep at it and it will get better

[wintry chasm]

They're important though

[warped nest]

Seeing that you have done Ramuh

You should start paying attention

[mossy current]

Oh ramuh is done?

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

[mossy current]

It only gets better from then on

[warped nest]

As you are in (or closing in) the prologue for Heavensward

If your goal is to hit lvl 80 fast so you can do endgame, then I would say that there is always a new endgame to chase

No need to rush

Play a Final Fantasy for the story

imo, FFXIV has the a story better than most other FFs

[vagrant copper]

Is there a way to leave a dungeon in the middle? (Note: I'm solo right now)

[twilit arch]

open the duty menu > leave

[vagrant copper]

Oh. It changed. Cool, thanks.

[hardy stirrup]

At what point during Elusive Jump is the hitbox moved?

Landing?

[rugged flicker]

Anyone remember how to do the bow and arrow game at the Namazu Festival? Is it one of the daily quests?

[mossy current]

Yea

It's a daily

[rugged flicker]

That's dumb 😐

[dry hill]

What would y'all say is the best spot for grinding wolf fangs?

North Shroud or Coerthas Central?

[iron nexus]

For Regular Eden's gate, each person can only get one piece of loot max per run right?

[mortal current]

One loot per floor per week.

Oh, eden's gate

[iron nexus]

For regular Gate?

[mortal current]

No, you can get as much as you want, I think.

[mossy current]

Yea

The limit was removed

[iron nexus]

So I shouldnt save my needs for the piece I want?

Roll on anything?

[mortal current]

If you want.

[iron nexus]

I just want the chest >.< Is Leviathan or Titan easier? I only just did Levi

[mortal current]

Leviathan is easier.

[iron nexus]

Thank you mucho

[exotic falcon]

is Catalina still having issues with FFXIV on mac?

[whole wasp]

@hardy stirrup at the landing. During the jump, your hitbox is still at the start then it moves rapidly to your landing when it ends.

[hardy stirrup]

Already answered but thanks

[hard elk]

can u rewatch cutscenes in game?

Nanamo is hella cute

[twilit arch]

yes, major cutscenes can be rewatched at any of the inns, thru the unending journey book

[hard elk]

awesome!!

[vagrant copper]

Are you asking when it resets and you can get it again?

I don't think you do...? 🤷‍♂️

[wintry chasm]

It's a roulette for a reason

Leveling roulette isn't really about the dungeon you get

It's about the bonus xp you get from doing it

and since those story trials are fairly low level you'd get a decent boost as a higher level

[feral thistle]

Normal story trials are easy as long as you explain basic mechanics to the new people, quick easy exp

[wintry chasm]

Are you spamming the roulette or something Hi?

Again

Are you spamming the roulette?

[mossy current]

The trials are more or less a tutorial

[feral thistle]

If you want more exp you could do level 50 dungeon roulette or trial roulette

[little swift]

bonus are once a day too

[wintry chasm]

^ because that

You only get that bonus once per day

[leaden ginkgo]

if i marry someone in the game for mount, can i break up with her and still keep the mount?

[wintry chasm]

Yes

[twilit arch]

there's no reason to queue up for leveling roulette beyond the first time for the day

you could do Palace of the Dead or highest level dungeon spam that isn't level 50/60/70

highest available dungeon (that's not 50/60/70) or palace of the dead

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh, it's been a thread, sorry just got here.

Can you break up with him/her right after you got married?

r is there a cooldown

[wintry chasm]

You could

[mossy current]

You can "divorce", details should be on the eternal bonding site

[leaden ginkgo]

This is so random

But why are the miqote like

Strippers or something

[feral thistle]

Like the players or npcs?

[mossy current]

In uldah?

Or the Limsa wine stuff

The fate in Costa hints at prostitution

With a miqo

[feral thistle]

||The Arcanists guild quests do too, right at the last one or second to last one||

[echo tapir]

yea it's just culture shit

[mossy current]

Yea

Seekers are the non-cat eyed right?

[twilit arch]

no

seekers are the one with the slitted pupils

[mossy current]

Ahhh

[twilit arch]

keepers are the ones with non slitted pupils

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh really? It’s like a thing among them?

That’s why their like

How’s

[hexed island]

Hey guys, hope you are doing well.
A friend is trying to get into this game. He played a bit leveling few levels and bought the game from Steam. But unfortunately he got an error code while downloading the patch saying : 'Unable to download patch files.
[30413][25008][20495][20495]'.
He was really looking forward to play it. Anyway to solve this issue?

PS: He has already tried restarting Launcher, Internet, PC and even downloading through a VPN.

[mossy current]

Tia is a very common last name for seeker male miqo

[feral thistle]

Weird that they’d give that to a humanoid cat race

[wintry chasm]

@white sinew Usually isn't leader but yes they do follow a lion pride kinda thing

[barren sage]

whats the ideal stat weight for a PLD?

Direct Hit > Determination > Critical Hit > Tenacity

trying to decide on my materia

[hexed island]

Umm does anyone know about the error code I mentioned above >.< ?

[barren sage]

is what in one of the channels?

[leaden ginkgo]

Guys do the trials grant like any exp

I feel like I didn’t get shot

[mossy current]

No they don't

Nothing significant, at least

[feral thistle]

They do, not much unless you’re getting a bonus. You get a bonus for hero in need (basically if you’re a tank or healer), first time through, and daily

[warped nest]

Trial roulette gives a small but noticeable chunk, I usually use it if I needed just a tad more exp to level up

[mossy current]

Easy queue for DPS as well

[leaden ginkgo]

Gotcha thank you

[little swift]

it will give you a key

[leaden ginkgo]

is there any point in getting older artifact weapons now except glamour?

[twilit arch]

nope, they're just for glamour

[oblique aurora]

What do the different trials in Stone Sky Sea do?

[leaden ginkgo]

alright thanks

[twilit arch]

the different trials let you get a rough idea of how well you might do against that particular boss

[leaden ginkgo]

Hi, I'm looking at collectors edition rn, and saw a wind-up Kain, Did i miss him in the story or he's a character from another franchise?

[mossy current]

!faq SSS

[zinc orbit]

Why Stone, Sky, Sea is a bad metric to measure DPS

Info

1. SSS does not account for a job’s RDPS contribution via skills like Battle Voice
2. SSS is a 3 minute burst window where you adjust your rotation to fit in that period and does not reflect a realistic raid scenario
3. Different jobs will be in peaks and troughs of their burst windows
4. Different jobs have different SSS dps requirements
5. SSS is not accurately tuned for the jobs they are supposed to represent in most cases
6. 3 minutes is short enough to be able to be affected by lucky DH Crit bursts
7. Certain jobs gain dps by having additional party members like Dancer/Monk

[leaden ginkgo]

I just played 7, crisiscore and 14 for reference

[mossy current]

But you can get a rough estimate

[slate arrow]

it's a FF3 shoutout i think

[mossy current]

4

[slate arrow]

oh no wait ff4

[oblique aurora]

i dont see a difference in the trials

they all seem the same

[slate arrow]

they have different HP amounts

[mossy current]

Pretty much

[oblique aurora]

What else is there

[slate arrow]

just different HP amounts

[mossy current]

I'm sad that Memoria didn't get one

[slate arrow]

you want to burst them down before the 3 minutes are up

Memoria's DPS check is absurdly low

[mossy current]

Yea

[oblique aurora]

so the ones furthest down have highest hp?

[mossy current]

But it's fun

[oblique aurora]

are they ordered by hp?

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

[mossy current]

I saw some PFs looking for "enrage prog"

Or "seen enrage"

Which confused me

[leaden ginkgo]

Haven't touched Memoria but unlocked it already, you said he has no EX?

[slate arrow]

memoria is EX

there's no normal memoria since it's an MSQ instance

[leaden ginkgo]

So it kinda works like Odin in some way?

[mossy current]

It says extreme

[slate arrow]

i guess yeah

[mossy current]

Memoria Misera (Extreme) is the full title

Odin doesn't have (Extreme) in his name

[slate arrow]

¯_(ツ)_/¯

the naming is slightly arbitrary

also 2.x was wildly inconsistent in content

[leaden ginkgo]

Makes sense to me

[twilit arch]

odin's also not listed under the extreme section either

[leaden ginkgo]

Ooooh, didn't know that

[mossy current]

Similar to coil's savage difficulty

[vagrant copper]

Are the level 50 job rewards a little bit weird or am I missing something? "Here's this awesome armor! But you know what, here's this other set of even better armor!"

[slate arrow]

originally you only got the level 50 set back in 2.0

you got the i90 set with antiquated items you got from level 50 dungeons

and then you moved onto the raid gear shortly after

[vagrant copper]

That makes sense then

[slate arrow]

however since you can't do Coils normally the team decided to throw new players a bone and just give them i90 gear

and you can spend poetics for i120 gear

[leaden ginkgo]

Gonna play more tonight

And try to tough through it til i get a mount

My biggest issue is how im already burnt out on fetch and kill quests from wow i just wanna see cool stuff

Do i get anything special from hall of the novice? Im already lvl 17 and know thebasica

[warped nest]

You get a set of gears

[twilit arch]

there's a ring that increases xp gain until lvl 30 from the final exercise

[warped nest]

That will last you a lil while

And they look good too, so you can use them as glamour after you outgrow them

[leaden ginkgo]

Kk gonna do it

[small vault]

Just how hard are the hard trails? I'm interested in doing them but not if I am a drag on my team too much.

[slate arrow]

they're easy

[twilit arch]

Not really hard

[leaden ginkgo]

Ok yee the novice training is worth it

[vagrant copper]

I think the game requires it at some point but it's definitely worth it to do it as early as possible

You can also go back with a new role (tank/dps/healer) and get some more armor for those roles

[little swift]

hotn is never required

but recommended because benefits are great

and teaches basics of the job to some degree

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't see my aether flow gauge

But says i unlocked it

[warped nest]

Open HUD setting

At the bottom of the drop down list, should be your Aetherflow gauge

That should highlight the position of the gauge

[remote lintel]

how

[warped nest]

Where this?

[remote lintel]

dravanian hinterlands

makers quarter

[little swift]

its below

[leaden ginkgo]

Ty

[remote lintel]

but how

[warped nest]

Progress your MSQ to unlock flying probably

[remote lintel]

i've done all MSQ

[little swift]

you can get there without flying iirc

[leaden ginkgo]

Its invisible for some reason

[warped nest]

You can enable the UI, Klesk

[little swift]

fly over there i guess if you're done all msq

[warped nest]

If that doesn't work, maybe you are.. I dunno, not a Summoner?

Or a Scholar. If you are still an Arcanist you probably can't see the gauge (maybe?)

[little swift]

just because its not visible on your map doesn't mean you can't fly there

maps not complete clearly

[warped nest]

That too

You can find a spot and jump down

You will end up swimming I think

[leaden ginkgo]

Does my aetherflow gauge stay invisible until i gain some?

[warped nest]

It shouldn't

[leaden ginkgo]

Weird maybe i need to relog

[slate arrow]

are you an arcanist or scholar

it might be locked behind a job quest

a lot of this game is spagetti code

[leaden ginkgo]

I see it now

It appeared finally

[grave glade]

so i just got back to ffxiv

new account

should i be worried on getting better gear while leveling from 1 to 50 ?

[rough jolt]

Can someone link me to guides for leveling weapon/tool smithing and mining/garedener ? cheers ❤️

[patent citrus]

Need Help...

It's a free trial and looking forward to play the game

but can't even patch right

[slate arrow]

are you using the trial launcher or the full launcher

[woeful jasper]

Can someone help me locate this treasure? I have been scouring the central shroud map and I just can't match it anywhere

[patent citrus]

im not sure, it's steam version of the trial launcher

let me check

[rough jolt]

Seems to be here?

[woeful jasper]

wow I feel dumb

[mossy current]

Yea

[warped nest]

East side

[woeful jasper]

I was looking too closely

[patent citrus]

ok for the first time the patch passed 500 mb

[woeful jasper]

I was focused in on small areas so I totally missed it

[rough jolt]

Its fine haha ❤️

[patent citrus]

let me see how it goes today, yesterday it produced that error when it reached 500 mb

[woeful jasper]

thanks!

[rough jolt]

glad i could help ^^

[woeful jasper]

: )

[patent citrus]

you can see the top left of the picture i posted, is it the trial or full launcher? 🤔

[grave glade]

so

what's the difference between servers in the same data center ?

[vagrant copper]

Dank, that launcher should be fine

[rough jolt]

Nothing

[leaden ginkgo]

Now i actually look like an arcanist

[little swift]

it looks like trial launcher as well its just having a minor stroke

just relaunch it

[patent citrus]

i tried to relaunch 5 times yesterday after restarting the comp, always stuck at 500 mb

[rough jolt]

You can play with other people on the same data center but also different servers in the same data center

[patent citrus]

but today i tried again, it worked past 500mb

[vagrant copper]

@grave glade The only differences are the people in them. The home server mostly matters for free companies, housing, and some other minor things

[patent citrus]

hope it doesn't hiccup again today

[vagrant copper]

Just to check, you have enough space on whatever drive you're downloading to, right?

[rough jolt]

@patent citrus Cant hurt to initiate a repair process?

[patent citrus]

stuck at 900mb now 🤦‍♂️

ok let me find the repair button

didn't know there is a repair feature lolo

ok where is the repair button? 🤔

you mean restore setting to default?

[hot eagle]

tried it as admin, did u check your firewall settings, do u use a vpn, flush your old dns

https://imgur.com/a/0wGCdtJ

[rough jolt]

Yeah flush dns

[hot eagle]

sadly it can be so many things that give that error

[rough jolt]

@patent citrus You know how that works?

[patent citrus]

i know, just wanna know the side effect

[rough jolt]

@patent citrus Windows+R , then CMD enter, then "ipconfig /flushdns"

[patent citrus]

will it affect my other app or something

it's my dedicated gaming pc, but still need to be careful lol

alright i'll try that now

[whole wasp]

Its like blowing into your cartridge and putting in back into your gameboy

[rough jolt]

Exactly.

Even tho it was strictly advised against doing that

by Nintendo

At the time

Everyone did it xD

lil fun fact

right there

[patent citrus]

so lucky got unlimited internet 🤣

[rough jolt]

Theres something else than unlimited?

[patent citrus]

can imagine people with limited internet and have to went through that error patching process

[warped nest]

Don't drag it out

[hot eagle]

for some it did help to use a vpn or another connection to download

hope anything of the things works for you

[leaden ginkgo]

My damage went up so fast

Fester is like over half most enemies hp

I love the pirate theme of my starting area quests lol

[patent citrus]

doesn't work at 900 mb

i can't repeat this when it reached 20 gig and have to start from the beginning

guess I'll have to wait till it fixed

[vagrant copper]

Can you wear two copies of the same ring?

[gloomy ice]

Depends on the ring. Usually yes but rings bought with tomestones is a firm no.

[leaden ginkgo]

That happened to me before a few years ago

Like even reinstalling the game wouldnt work

[whole wasp]

You can wear two copies of the same ring unless

[rough jolt]

Can someone link me to guides for leveling weapon/tool smithing and mining/garedener ? cheers

[whole wasp]

its unique

then you can only have one of them in your inventory

[leaden ginkgo]

Im pretty sure that's why I never finished my trial

There's a limit of buying Retainers right, what if i got the limit and then subscribed to companion app, will it overlap and have a +1? or the 1 will be prorated to be paid via the subscription from companion app? Sorry my english is not the best

[rough jolt]

@leaden ginkgo Yas

Ohh

No

Wait

2 is the normal limit.

For everything more than that its a subscription of 1,40€ monthly i think?

[whole wasp]

@rough jolt https://www.ffxivguild.com/ffxiv-bsm-blacksmith-leveling-guide-ffxivarr/

it has all the other classes too

[rough jolt]

Thanks !

@whole wasp Sorry if thats stupid. but what am i suppoosed with this information?

H3 Iron Claw Hammers

Is there an FAQ for this Guide?

[whole wasp]

Thats the leve guide

which ones are worth to do at that level

[rough jolt]

Those are quests?

[whole wasp]

yea, crafter levequest

[rough jolt]

Hm and i get them where ?

[whole wasp]

then at the top you can see that your lvl 20 blacksmith class quest wasts a iron cross-pein hammer

[rough jolt]

Okay ! Thanks

[whole wasp]

so you can prepare that as you hit 20

[rough jolt]

Ill annoy you later for more questions tho. xD

It looked so cool

[rough jolt]

Just cast glamour?

[naive pendant]

hello there dudes, me and my friends are coming from classic wow and are going to give ffxiv a try since one of us is a big fan of the franchise, quick question, how is the co-op of the game during leveling and MST?

[rough jolt]

@naive pendant Amazing !

Me and 8 Friends simulatinously started out together !

[leaden ginkgo]

Can i do glamour on a trial account?

[lethal bane]

I believe so

[rough jolt]

@naive pendant Can i DM you? Cause its gonna be a longer thing xD

[naive pendant]

can do mate

[leaden ginkgo]

How do i get glamour

[whole wasp]

!faq glamour

[zinc orbit]

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.

[whole wasp]

lvl 15

[lethal bane]

Also! Stant, if you look on youtube I believe there was a review on switching from wow to ffxiv :)

[echo tapir]

@naive pendant imo co-op questing is almost perfect cause i did that the whole time. insta-queuing. however you're gonna have to do some shit solo like your own class quests

[tame olive]

The quest giver is outside walking sands.

[leaden ginkgo]

Ill just wait to do that

[echo tapir]

if you're 2 people don't both pick dps though

[leaden ginkgo]

Idk where vesper bay is

[echo tapir]

unless you're ok with slower queues

[lethal bane]

Dont worry youll learn, google is youd friend with ffxiv:)

Your*

[tame olive]

Where the scions HQ is.

[lethal bane]

The atheryte you'll go to is called "horizon"

[naive pendant]

we are all starting out with the trial version and i know that the game gets a lot more group content later on so, and since co op is a big thing on my group im worried they might be thrown off by the initial impressions

anything to worry there?

[echo tapir]

that's up to them tbh

[mellow wagon]

hey guys if i sell job exclusive gears from quests

can i obtain them later on somehow

or they're permanently gone

[echo tapir]

just know that maybe it's boring-ish until about 50s

then story gets better

[whole wasp]

you can get them back from the calamnity salvager usually

[lethal bane]

Well! About level 15 you get your first dungeon

[whole wasp]

the 60s set from the centurio seal vendor iirc

[echo tapir]

if your friends quit at level 30 i got no words for you :V

just try to keep each other company the whole time really, and get hyped

[lethal bane]

Alot of the classes get better after 50, some even 60

[mellow wagon]

@whole wasp i mean stuff like the cleric set, scholar set etc

[echo tapir]

yea 1 to 50 was original base game so that's why stuff might seem stiffer or older

[lethal bane]

Dungeons are big co-OP bassed

[echo tapir]

so just bear with it a bit

[frozen violet]

if I mainly play tanks, should I have a miner or botanist retainer along side my battle retainer?

[whole wasp]

@mellow wagon those can be gotten from the calamnity salavager

[lethal bane]

@frozen violet it really depends on what your preferences are, like for me I tried both and miner in my opinion was super fun, and is now my main money maker, but botanist is also a money maker for some it's really up to you :)

[devout salmon]

What should I spend my poetics on exactly? I am maxed out on them but don't really see anything I need from the vendor.

[vagrant copper]

There's a vendor in Dor Mohna that takes them

... Mor Dohna

[devout salmon]

Oh okay. For different items?

[vagrant copper]

Oh. I may have missed your second sentence. Uh.. IDK

You might be at the point where they don't mean much

I am lvl 76. Are they not useful past my lvl? I know they are good for gearing new lvl 50 characters but besides that idk.

Oh cool, thanks Channy.

[mellow wagon]

Alright thanks

[serene crescent]

is there a problem with the servers right now? I keep getting dc'ed Everytime I try to login and my connection seems pretty ok except for this

[rough jolt]

I know of 4,8 man raids. and heard of 16. Are there 16 man raids?

[vagrant copper]

#lodestone-news-na has some instances of servers having problems earlier. Might be related

[whole wasp]

@rough jolt raids are 8-man, 24-man and the one weird 56-man

[rough jolt]

Ohh So no 16 man raid?

[whole wasp]

4-mans no longer exist after the one bowl of embers

nope

[rough jolt]

4,8,24,56

Allright ! Thansk !

[dense juniper]

hello! newbie here. Does heavy armor make you slower?

[whole wasp]

nope

everybody runs at the same speed

except ninja

those assholes run slightly faster for no good reason

[dense juniper]

haha

thanks!!

[little swift]

they also don't take fall damage sometimes for no good reason

[slender sphinx]

How do you start a new job? I have a WHM, but I also want to BLM

[vagrant copper]

BLM is the advanced job for the Thaumaturge class so you'd go start there

[slender sphinx]

So do I need to make a new character?

[vagrant copper]

Nope. Just go to the Thaumaturge's Guild in Ul'Dah and talk to the receptionist. She'll get you started. It'll be a quest named "So you want to be a Thaumaturge?..."

Or he. Or it. IDK

[slender sphinx]

Sounds good, thank you very much!

[robust crow]

for the alexandrite step for relic weapons

after a certain point I can't use any t1 materia anymore?

[leaden ginkgo]

should I change the dub of the game to Japanese? is it better? I always prefer the Japanese dub in anime but so far I kinda liked the British-accent voice acting of the women, but the voice actors that spoke American English were really cringe so far. I just don't know what's later in the game, I am pretty early on

The dub gets a lot better in Heavensward, imo.

[whole wasp]

nope

what you see is what you get

[devout salmon]

Anyone know if Kaiten affects Tsubame-Gaeshi?

Or am I just dumping Kenki into it for no reason?

[slate arrow]

kaiten does not effect tsubame

[devout salmon]

Didn't feel like it.

Thanks.

[slate arrow]

you should just use it to weave the 25 gauge spender or shoha

[devout salmon]

Weave the 25 gauge?

You mean spend Kenki on that?

[slate arrow]

the 25 kenki spender yeah

since kaiten is only a DPS gain on regular midare

[devout salmon]

That's what I usually do. But I unlocked Tsubame and didn't know if Kaiten worked on it.

[slate arrow]

and the DoT

[whole wasp]

Kaiten only works on weaponskills

[wintry chasm]

^

[whole wasp]

Tsubame is an ability so it doesnt

[oblique aurora]

If Requiescat runs out in the middle of casting Holy Circle/Holy Spirit does the effect still apply?

[whole wasp]

yes

buffs/debuffs are snapshotted at the start of a cast

[leaden ginkgo]

Are roulettes worth doing after reaching lvl cap?
If so, which ones are worth doing daily?

[whole wasp]

sure they are

expert roulettes for allegory tomes

trials and normal raids are pretty fast too

MSQ roulette if you got time to spare and need lots of poetics

leveling roulette/alliance roulette for exp when you level another job

[boreal aurora]

aint botanist in gridania

i dont see it

[leaden ginkgo]

@whole wasp Thank you for the info ❤️

[wintry chasm]

It's in Old Gridania

all the way to the left

[worldly ermine]

find a lalafell called fufucha

[boreal aurora]

thx

[rough jolt]

Where can i get these without buying them:

[jade zinc]

Gathering, mining or botany.

[fringe widget]

hello, i just play recently with trial version. I'm planning to buy the pc download version, is there differences between eu, na, and jp shop ?

[jade zinc]

Your retainers can also get them by going on ventures if they have a gathering job.

[rough jolt]

Allright ! I just sent them away

[wintry chasm]

The codes are region locked so yes @fringe widget

[azure lantern]

Looking for some advice on leveling, if anyone would be willing to share some insight (: I just finished 2.0 ARR and am level 56 and a half. I am trying to get to 60 to unlock Gunbreaker but everything I can see in MSQ is level 50 for a long while, which is minimal in terms of XP rewards for gaining levels beyond 51 or so. Is Palace of the Dead basically my only hope short of grinding out all of the MSQ's until Heavensward? Or is there another way I can grind out some decent XP in a matter of hours?

[wintry chasm]

that and roulettes each day is a decent idea

You could do it in a day

if you tried

[marble drift]

in hindsight you probably should've just followed the MSQ. you're a tad overleveled

but. hindsight is 20/20

roulettes are probably your best option

[wintry chasm]

I mean, I think they are

It's just with the preferred server xp boost and maybe doing roulettes you can get disgustingly overleveled for the ARR patch stuff

[boreal aurora]

is next patch juny or july

[wintry chasm]

We don't know

It's been put on hold because of corona

but there is a live letter on the 24th

so maybe we get a rough new date

[boreal aurora]

kk

[azure lantern]

Yeah I was overleveled just by doing the MSQ. I have done no side quests or grinding but because of preferred on Mateus I got to 56 just by completing MSQ

[marble drift]

right I forget how good the road buff is. I've only used it once on an alt

ah makes sense

[azure lantern]

I was level 50 just as I started Coerthas

[marble drift]

oh coerthas the FIRST time? not the post ARR pre HW content?

yeah damn thats a boost

[azure lantern]

First time yup

[wintry chasm]

but yeah just to add on to what I was saying before Kaebus, if you do Palace of the Dead, floors 51-60 is the window for xp grinding

[marble drift]

to get those floors you'll need to have cleared 1-50. that may be a rough one

[azure lantern]

Yeah I tried getting there tonight but I have to keep resetting my progress to go back and find more gear chests haha

[wintry chasm]

Yeah

Once you get there though

You're good

you get a nice checkpoint at 50 and everything

[azure lantern]

Kind of what I'm hoping for, so I'm just going to keep brute forcing Palace tomorrow. Since the gear levels are permanent

Oh so I can just jump in at floor 50 when I reset progress rather than having to start over at 1 again?

[wintry chasm]

Right

[azure lantern]

Awesome, then yeah should be able to get it done no problem tomorrow

[wintry chasm]

so you can literally spam 51-60 by doing it and resetting and starting at 50 again

[marble drift]

the xp kinda drops off post 60 tho.

[wintry chasm]

Right but he isn't going for post 60

so it's fine

[marble drift]

fair point

[azure lantern]

Yeah once I get Gunbreaker I don't mind being stale leveled while I catch up on the story, I just want to get the class gameplay I want asap rather than spending more time in the story than I need on a class I plan to ditch.

[wintry chasm]

Totally understandable

[azure lantern]

In any case, I really appreciate the insight from both of you 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone selling/ know any good places to buy gil?

[azure lantern]

As in RMT? That's a big no-no as far as I know.

[leaden ginkgo]

Whats rmt?

[wintry chasm]

Real money trading

[azure lantern]

Real money transfer, as in paying real world currency for in game currency. Square Enix has a heavy policy against it.

Or trading, yes.

[wintry chasm]

And so does this server

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh dang I see

[jade zinc]

Release the drones.

[leaden ginkgo]

My bad

[wintry chasm]

You will get banned

[leaden ginkgo]

Thanks for warning me

[wintry chasm]

Np

[azure lantern]

Sure thing. Stay safe!

[leaden ginkgo]

Anyone know what the best ways to make gil are? I want to get like 1-2 mill really quick

[marble drift]

are you level 80?

[leaden ginkgo]

Still at 70

What can I do at 80?

[marble drift]

then...wait till 80 and do Zonureskin treasure maps

[woeful ruin]

Hey guys dead quick

[marble drift]

rip 💀

dead.

[woeful ruin]

Im reading SCH guides and they talk about obey

for pet management

is that gone, and if not where can I find it

[chilly eagle]

How long do you think it would take to level to about 18 on an alt job. Levelling scholar at about lol 24 class at the moment but kind of want to switch to white mage. But I don’t want to put too long grinding to catch up

[proud willow]

Obey is gone

Faeries no longer do anything automatically other than the single target heal

[woeful ruin]

sweet

ty

probs still important to place them in group content right?

[proud willow]

maybe?

[glass olive]

is there LFG in this discord

[marble drift]

on some fights perhaps?

Yes

[glass olive]

which one is it

[marble drift]

#614267783080968222 for instance.

for the JP servers

[glass olive]

ah ok

thank you

[proud willow]

@chilly eagle if you know the game pretty well, honestly you could bang it out in a few hours

[marble drift]

Real question tho

why do you want to swap

you havent even really experianced scholar yet?

also: you're not even a scholar yet. you need to be level 30 to officially become one. You're just an arcanist right now

[chilly eagle]

@marble drift I’ve heard white mage is less intensive/simpler for the same things. It’s also more reactive as I understand with fat heal numbers as opposed to shields and lot of micromanagement

[marble drift]

there is no micromanagement with scholar anymore

[chilly eagle]

I’m largely swayed by a job satisfaction survey I was reading where scholar scored second to bottom, lots of people complaining about the job.

[marble drift]

pet abilties are your abilties

right well thats them

and you're you

[chilly eagle]

True

[marble drift]

Scholar is no more difficult than white mage

[chilly eagle]

I suppose a side benefit is summoner levels with me.

[marble drift]

both have simple dps rotations, plenty of tools for mitigation and party support

and yes you level a summoner

so when a quest asks you to kill this guy

you're not slogging through it as a scholar

[chilly eagle]

True true

[marble drift]

cause healers take 5ever to kill anything

you're perfectly safe forever. They can't beat your heals

[chilly eagle]

Okay you have convinced me to stick haha

[marble drift]

AFTER you cap out. Then make up your mind

Once you've seen everything a scholar has to offer

[chilly eagle]

True

I’ll stick at it then

[marble drift]

You are right that White Mage is Reactive vs Scholar being Proactive

but...the difference is ABOUT half a second.

you see a boss cast an aoe. a White Mage gets a heal ready

a Scholar got a heal ready 2 seconds go

[chilly eagle]

I think as I don’t know the encounters yet I was worried I’d not be able to predict damage incoming etc

But dungeons I suppose give plenty of time to practice

[marble drift]

If scholar didn't have reactive tools I'd say your fears were well founded

except...they do

[warped nest]

Scholar has direct heals

[marble drift]

Good ones too

[warped nest]

And they have a skill to convert their shield heal into pure heal

[marble drift]

off-gcd. manaless (not "costless" tho)

[warped nest]

Pretty potent pure heal too

[marble drift]

high level scholars barely even heal. Faerie lololol

they have access to group wide regens, triggered heals as in "heals that go off in X seconds or X% health)

party mitigation.

love that bubble

[boreal aurora]

routine bonus is only for new chars right

so if u delete ur char and make new one u get it again ?

[obsidian patio]

Roulettes are a daily bonus.

[marble drift]

routine bonus? yeah do you mean roulette?

[boreal aurora]

exp bonus

[obsidian patio]

If you mean first-time bonus, that’s once per character

[boreal aurora]

till lvl70

[obsidian patio]

Road to 70?

[boreal aurora]

yes

[obsidian patio]

Then yes, only characters created when a world is classified as preferred get it.

Characters before it becoming preferred don’t get anything

[boreal aurora]

[vocal spade]

It may sound profane, but: What's currently a good way to earn money?

[leaden ginkgo]

Hard work and discipline ?

[marble drift]

If you mean gil? sell stuff. While leveling you shouldn't need a ton of gil except for teleportation and repairs.

Don't be wasteful basically.

take gear from quest rewards and sell your old stuff. Don't purchase dumb shit.

[devout salmon]

Is there a safe site somewhere I can preview all of the weapons and what they look like? With the glow and everything?

[marble drift]

garland tools I think? lemme doublecheck

[echo tapir]

real answer is finish leveling. level retainer too and gear it. send it out to get sellables. level your gathering. sell shit. understand what endgame players want. understand flow of progression to even understand what they want

look at marketboard often and live and breathe it

understand your server behaviours specifically like a stock trader.

make friends and understand what they want and sell shit to them too. like people can just buy your materia just because youre the friendly face

[vocal spade]

Hmm...sounds reasonable. Thanks a lot. 🙂

[marble drift]

@devout salmon unfortunately finding the glow on a 3rd party site is hard. garlandtools.org has a database where you can veiw 3d models however

[echo tapir]

take any old loot and trade it to your GC for the seals

[marble drift]

If you like a weapon a quick google will show glam shots and stuff from other people if it has a glow

[echo tapir]

seals are for buying venture coins for your retainer to do anything

[devout salmon]

I am just trying to see all of the Samurai relic weapons or weapons that glow. Having a hard time finding them.

[echo tapir]

and also buying some anima weapon relic stuff for yourself later

[marble drift]

relic weapons? its just the Eureka stage ones

[devout salmon]

Any.

Or all.

[marble drift]

you did say relic. But best way is to probably just head over to the Eorzea Collection (google it)

and take a look at samurai glams

they'll show off some nice ones. Its all user generated however

[devout salmon]

Yeah they put weird filters on their pics.

So in game it looks totally different.

[echo tapir]

@vocal spade when you finally get your gathering up btw you have to get good gear with good materia in it too. same with crafting. and then that is where the real huge money is. whenever a new patch comes out with new craftables, you can be one of the first to make and sell stuff

crafting also has macros to understand and use. gathering itself has macros to use

like at 80 mostly

[marble drift]

before 80? you can just feel your way through gathering

it doesnt have to be "optimal"

just smash rocks

or cut trees

or hook fishies

[supple gorge]

I am currently level 44 and it seems I will have to grind a lot to continue with the story, as the quests are not giving me enough exp. What is a good way to level up at this point?

[marble drift]

dungeons.

do any roulettes you have available (you probably will only have leveling roulette)

[echo tapir]

eat your exp food, join a guild for the exp buff, do dungeons

[marble drift]

and then once you've done that, the highest level dungeon at your level should give you a nice chunk

[echo tapir]

can do FATEs too

[supple gorge]

ah, okies

[echo tapir]

if theres any that popped within your level range

[marble drift]

level 46? I would gather that you're in...Northen Thanalan?

Camp Bluefog?

[supple gorge]

44

[marble drift]

ah then...coerthas?

[supple gorge]

and I just got to Mor Dhona

and I need to gain 2 levels

[marble drift]

man im rusty on my ARR quest progress.

dang.

yeah Mor Dhona should have some fates around your level

[leaden ginkgo]

MSQ is also good exp over time

[marble drift]

and then dungeons n stuff. remember to eat some food for the buff. Any food will work

[supple gorge]

The fates might be faster it seems... than waiting ages to get into a dungeon 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

You’ll out level the MSQ then it’s free xp

[marble drift]

If you are a dps, yes. your queue times are default long

[supple gorge]

I am a healer
