Oops. I see, not sure how long the queue is but yeah, they'll have to help you. Make sure you have all the other info on your account (name/dob, etc.)
old zodiac
yep, I got everything except the OTP and the emergency removal password
so I think I should be fine
subtle minnow
If you save the emergency code, you can use a special page to remove the OTP when something like this happens. (i.e. my phone bricked last week and I had to use the code to remove the OTP to get back in)
Good luck!

Okay and not to be a nuisance, but how come it doesn't tell me how much exp/gil I'll get as 'base reward'?

Any help for this, if I may ask?
subtle minnow
That's usually a internet or connection issue; but it's not always the same solution for everyone. Same exact report was here: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/8fzvpn/unable_to_complete_version_check/
solemn delta
But it's a slug doing that 70 alliance quest
subtle minnow
Rewarding content is subjective. All of it's rewarding in its own way, depending on each player's choice. š The level 70 Alliance raids are fun and challenging if you're new to it. Still have people wiping on some of them^^

I saw on reddit the most efficient way to do the tribe dailies
but I cant find it anymore
can someone help me out
like it said something about doing multiple high rank ones or something
latent haven
Are there flying mounts in this game?
sly zinc
Yes, starting in the Heavensward expansion.
latent haven
So can you, like, fly really high or is there a limit?
lavish grove
Theres a point where you canāt fly any higher
So you canāt necessarily fly over every mountain
latent haven
And is the flying mount have the same speed as regular mount?
gloomy ice
Faster
leaden ginkgo
U can fly pretty high
gloomy ice
Flying has the fastest travel speed
leaden ginkgo
High enough to be higher than anything
lavish grove
Iām pretty sure all mounts can fly now?
lavish grove
Thereās a few VERY tall mountains but other than that
latent haven
How easy is it to get the flying mount, assuming I have the expansion?
leaden ginkgo
Story content shoukd give u uh 3 or so
latent haven
Cool.
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I know it cool
lavish grove
Pretty darn easy. Even before the 5.3 patch that was just announced, Iām pretty sure the quest to unlock flying was no big deal
latent haven
It's nice that you can get mount(s) just from doing story quest and not some hard mission or a paywall.
latent haven
What's the difference between a minion and a pet?
lavish grove
There is stuff behind paywalls and hard quests but those are for Special things
lavish grove
A minion is a small animal who follows you around for aesthetic
vagrant copper
Minions are little creatures that follow you around and don't really do much of anything. A pet actually has some combat use
latent haven
Ouch. Poor minion.
latent haven
What combat uses do pets have?
lavish grove
Yeah, arenāt summoner summons considered pets?
leaden ginkgo
I aint throwing my baby dog to no fights
whole wasp
the only combat pets are the summoner summons and sch fairiies
lavish grove
^thank you
bronze sorrel
do rook/queen count as pets
lavish grove
Pets are a key part of those classes battle mechanics and arenāt used in other classes
latent haven
So are there any pets we can get aside from Summoners?
bronze sorrel
is that the matt grey of technical difficulties fame 
latent haven
I don't know what technical difficulties you're referring to.
whole wasp
Scholar has fairies and Machnist has the autoturrets and the automaton queen
latent haven
So pets pretty much can only be spawned by certain classes.
And not something you obtain, like minions?
vagrant copper
Correct
latent haven
Ok.

Was just in an 80 roulette and the MNK had like 13k more hp than me I asked what's his ilvl must be pretty high, it was 3 higher than mine, how can that be possible? They said its cause I'm using HQ crafted gear and he's using Phantasmmagoria poetic gear but that's impossible cause that's all 460, they claimed that gear is better than HQ crafted??
whole wasp
do they mean allegory tomestone gear?
allegory tomestone gear is 490
HQ crafted is 480
fresh lodge
Was he using food?
whole wasp
oh, which crafted are you using?
leaden ginkgo
@fresh lodge I think I seen u somewhere
fresh lodge
Yes hello
leaden ginkgo
R u from the persona discord?
fresh lodge
Nope
leaden ginkgo
Oh dang
whole wasp
if you are using Facet gear (450), yes its better since deepshadow (phanta gear) is 460 upgradable to 470
whole wasp
neo hq is 480 gear but you are 465 so you dont have the full set?
solemn delta
No not yet didn't splash out fully just bought about 7/8 pieces atm
Didn't wanna spend all my gil
lavish grove
Also some pieces have more effect on your damage than others despite having same effect on ilvl
whole wasp
oh so the other guys mishmash of gear is better than your mishmash of gear then
raw solstice
if you're caster/healer and comparing HP to melee, their HP is naturally higher than yours by a bit, even with the same ilvl, too
leaden ginkgo
Btw hey guys uh, Iām in a bit of a dilemma
solemn delta
Was comparing to the MNK
whole wasp
do you have the neo weapon?
solemn delta
Yeah
raw solstice
everything HQ, no broken gear?
leaden ginkgo
I recommended the game to ff14 to my friend
leaden ginkgo
Heās started playing it now and when he asked me about the story I said it will take him 3-4 months to finish if he plays 4 hours a day
And then he became angry and asking if he should get story skip like me
solemn delta
Boots, earrings necklace and bracers
leaden ginkgo
Iām not sure whether to suggest him to or not?
fresh lodge
That would be why
leaden ginkgo
He is usually interested in stories but his reasoning was
lavish grove
I donāt remember if story skip also skips leveling?
fresh lodge
If the crafted gear isn't HQ, you're better off just using Deepshadow
leaden ginkgo
āBruh I aināt even know if Imma be alive thenā
fresh lodge
It doesn't
solemn delta
All my crafted is hq
fresh lodge
You have to buy a separate level skip
solemn delta
Omg
leaden ginkgo
So should I suggest story skip? Because he might not be alive in 2-3 months?
whole wasp
ahh, boots slot has vitality. if your boots are not neo HQ.
lavish grove
IMO if he isnāt down for plot, I canāt blame him for story skip
whole wasp
you are losing some vitality there
raw solstice
every slot has VIT now
leaden ginkgo
Yeah he said he just wanna get to the action and chill with me
whole wasp
:<
leaden ginkgo
So I will also just advise him to get skip then?
raw solstice
yup, that's what I was thinking
fresh lodge
Go repair your gear
lavish grove
I legit think leveling skip will make it hard to get used to the rotations and mechanics etc
whole wasp
broke gear gives no stats
lavish grove
At least you noticed now
zinc orbitBOT
lavish grove
Fair enough I suppose
solemn delta
Now I have more hp than he had
leaden ginkgo
I did and now I just need to get my fingers move fast for the gcds and ogs
Playing on controller sucks because sometimes ur fingers just go haywire and starts doi ng emotes instead of combos
solemn delta
But there advise was strange they must have meant allegory
fresh lodge
Probably
solemn delta
Effectively HQ neo is bis until you play a lot and get further into end game content and gather up allegory right?
raw solstice
basically unless you're looking at crafted gear that is NQ, not HQ (and of course assuming it's all in good repair) you can treat ilvl as a solid measure for relative strength
whole wasp
yes allegory but you can get the relic weapon which is better than neo-ish
raw solstice
the 480 gear from the newest ex trial is the strongest gear you can have until you get tome gear
whole wasp
485>480
oak ice
If you can't get i500 armor, the relic armor you can get from ||Memoria Misera|| is BiS
solemn delta
I'm working on my relic today actually still doing that darn 70 alliance msq
Thanks though guys!
solemn delta
I've gotta learn what all that is I'm brand new to the game lol
leaden ginkgo
Did u skip story?
solemn delta
Yes all expansions if your talking to me?
fresh lodge
Anyways

Do i get the races you need expansions for when you buy the expansions or when you reach the expansion?

You get a Black Chocobo that is capable of flight, however you must unlock the aether currents in a zone to fly there
MSQ quest named Divine Intervention
whole wasp
you cant mount in cities
you can only mount outside
you need to do some stuff to unlock the ability to fly
its per zone
leaden ginkgo
oh right
blissful matrix
You can't fly in cities, all HW, SB, and ShB zones allow flying, after you collected aether currents
leaden ginkgo
ah so i'd have to attune with every aether crystal thingy

spread out for max efficiency if you are doing them at the same starting point

there are different levels of quests
with different rep rewards

valid nova
If I keep spamming aoe does that keep aggro on me as a tank
valid nova
cheers bro
faint flare
Any attack with tank stance on generates a ton of aggro on that mob
So jusy literally hit things and you'll get aggro
warped nest
As long as you have tank stance, and you are using single target or AOE correctly, you will be fine
valid nova
When other party members get aggro do I refocus on that target to get it back? Sometimes I donāt know what to focus on thereās so much shit going on at once!
faint flare
Just hit it with aoes
faint flare
And you'll take it back
If people get aggro, they SHOULD bring it to you
If they have any form of braincells
vagrant copper
Your number 1 job is to keep aggro so if you lose aggro, get it back
warped nest
However, if you did lose it somehoe, yeah, AOE, Provoke, or long distance skill will work
warped nest
For adds, yeah
faint flare
Tldr aoe at 2-3+ mobs, single target against single target
valid nova
So if I die it isnāt my fault right? Letās say for example party member drags tons of mobs over and I get overwhelmed
I mean I know itās a team effort and everything
faint flare
Depends
You could have failed on cooldown usage to properly mitigate the damage or took extra
Can be on the healer for not keeping up
blissful matrix
there is no insurance claims in FFXIV
faint flare
Can be on the dps for killing shit slowlu
vagrant copper
Could be you have trash equipment. Has happened to me a few times š¦
valid nova
Hmmm yeah so I would be partly to blame š¤
blissful matrix
Blame is a hinderance to progress, work as a team win as a team
faint flare
Only with a rare few expections like Bardams at 65
valid nova
I agree, after all itās pretty hard to perform 100% perfectly with no mistakes it seems!
faint flare
Even then, a good group can wall to wall it
Thats why you practice and get the muscle memory
valid nova
Rn Iām just spamming roulette to try and get a hang of things
warped nest
Tom, biggest tips I would give to new tanks
A cycle defensive cooldown, you usually don't need to stack em
B use defensive cooldown when you still have a lot of health
Tip B escapes a lot of first time tank
faint flare
C: remember arms length is a pretty good cooldown
warped nest
If you have a skill that reduce damage taken by 10%, it means that your 20k HP can absorb 22k worth of damage before you die (not exactly 22, but you get what I mean)
valid nova
A lot of this makes sense, I understand, now just need to apply it š
blissful matrix
arms length is my favorite role skill
valid nova
What would you say is the hardest job?
vagrant copper
D: Remember that everyone is much more squishy than you are. I forget that sometimes.

Yes, I had already unlocked that @twilit arch, I've checked scrip vendors in idylshire and rhalgr's now
twilit arch
and you're looking under the lvl 70 section right
deft anvil
yep, 70 items
twilit arch
i don't believe you need to be lvl 80 to see them, but i'm not sure if you need to have done the quest unlock for the skysteel item to see them, but i don't think you do
since the yellow scrip oddly specific items are tradeable
deft anvil
they show as "restricted" on lodestone, as in "available for purchase yes (restricted)"
so there's probably something I am missing having done, I'm just not sure what.
twilit arch
my only other thought is that they're maybe locked behind eulmore's house of splendors
deft anvil
Nope, I have apparantly unlocked that already too. Weird.
I'll go see if there's any quests I can complete in ishgard restoration, that might be it.

Hi everyone, sorry if this isn't the right place to ask I only just joined.
TL;DR Need to upgrade, want to know the most price efficient way to do it on 2 platforms
I recently decided to upgrade my free trial after 3 years into a full version and due to certain circumstances I haven't been able to do it and I need to confirm a few things that I haven't been able to find. I'm currently on a PS4 free trial and I ordered the complete edition, which was physical and taking a long time to deliver so I decided to upgrade into the starter edition for now.
- If I upgrade into starter edition now will I be able to upgrade into complete edition later on the ps4? If so, do I get a 30 day free from starter then another from complete?(Quick searching suggests its either starter + shb expansion OR complete)
- If the above doesn't apply, will upgrading into starter on PC then complete on ps4 work? and will I receive free 30 days on both of them?
whole wasp
you get free 30 days only once per platform
if you get starter edition, you can buy the expansions seperately afterwards
note: shadowbringers =/= complete edition
complete edition = base game + shadowbringers
starter edition = base game
so if you got starter, you only need shadowbringers
starter on PC then complete on PS4 will net you 60 days
but you cannot access DLC content on PC
hardy stirrup
Quick question but a bit spoily ||If you have done all of the HW Manderville quests will Nanamo (in post SB) and your guy react differently to the mention of Godbert?||
flat parcel
So my only option is to upgrade on pc otherwise my ps4 complete edition will become void unless I get shb expansion instead?
whole wasp
it wont become void, you just double pay
stable hinge
how do i increase max cp?
stable hinge
is that the "control" thing
twilit arch

Is there a way thqt we can hide all the quests except msq in our HUD quest list without manually hiding them?

No
keen kettle
If you really want to see only MSQ you could hide the quest list
leaden ginkgo
Oh
keen kettle
I mean, I think being able to pin/hide is already pretty good
The MSQ ticker in the top left corner will also remind you of your job quests so you won't miss out on those at least
leaden ginkgo
Ok wait
How do I access it?
Journal?
Actually how can I hide all of them?
I just use my map so
keen kettle
Main Menu --> Settings? --> UI
pseudo reef
on my map it doesn't show mining spots is there a way to fix that?
keen kettle
Within the UI menu you select an element, then the settings wheel, then you can hide elements
@pseudo reef do you mean the mini-map or the larger map? nodes only show on the mini-map if you are a high enough level to see it, and you are either on that job or have the appropriate skill toggled
pseudo reef
i have the larger map as my mini map atm
keen kettle
Err, I'm not referring to the zoom on the mini-map, but it does help if you zoom out to the max setting
solemn delta
keen kettle
The mini-map can show about a 130yalm radius when zoomed out so it can be hard to see nodes, try using Arbor Call/MIN equivalent that I don't remember
solemn delta
Can anyone help me I can't for the life of me figure this one out
keen kettle
If you can't see it then you're not at the right level
solemn delta
It's miles high up

I think you have to go around it a few times, Ripebear, unless that's the top right current (you have to pass through Where the Dry Return)

Hello, good people of FF14.
My FiancƩ and I are thinking about FF14 in the next 2 weeks, however, looking at YouTube videos, it seems a bit daunting. Th amount of skill on hot bards and so on.
We are also a bit older crowd around 30 and se we are slower and fat-finger more often :D
I was wandering if anyone is up for a talk, just so that I can understand FF14 a bit better.
leaden ginkgo
Oh dang really?
open coral
Yes, really.
leaden ginkgo
But I assume it will turn off in dungeons too?
open coral
Yeah, but it's just a toggle on/off, so you can re-enable it whenever.
keen kettle
Dungeons still have combat music
little swift
No its just overworld battle music
leaden ginkgo
Ahh I see, thats soooo awesome, thank u so much
I will check it out
I love this channel
open coral
Is it just overworld? I thought it turned off all battle music.
leaden ginkgo

Just overworld

You can turn off mount music as well if you get tired of that too
keen kettle
Just battle overworld music gets turned off, ye

For DPS, which role is better for LB? Caster? Ranged? Melee?
keen kettle
I do wish they would add a text command to toggle it
whole wasp
Melee LB is better for single target
Then ranged then caster. But caster easier to hit multiple targets.
open coral
@stiff cosmos Plenty of people over 30 play this game (such as myself). You don't start out with every single skill, so you have plenty of time to learn how each of them figures into your play over time.
keen kettle
@stiff cosmos Happy to chat, like Aura said, the game really eases you in.
whole wasp
Ninjas and dragoons are often the LB bots do to speak.
open coral
Basically, the game assumes you have never played any kind of RPG before, and walks you through all the things
leaden ginkgo
Danggg
little swift
Lb usage is context specific
little swift
You can also caster/ranged lb to clear large mob pulls
open coral
Every new system you encounter has a short text tutorial pop up.

That explains what the system is, and how it works.

You know like WoW has a million skills on hotbas and the rotation is insane. I really don't wantthat. Terra in that way is betterm but I love storytelling of FF
open coral
Rotations at their core are very basic in this game.
keen kettle
I haven't played WoW extensively, but the most buttons you'll have for a job will probably be 32.
Many rotations are 1-2-3 for the first 50 or so levels, adding new buttons slowly.
open coral
I mean, depending on your job, you'll have either more or less excess utility compared to WoW
shut panther
if you want a class with less buttons I recommend playing warrior or red mage
less rotational buttons, rather.
open coral
Even RDM has a good number of skills they use at max level though.
stiff cosmos
I nyself was looking at Bard. I dunno what fiance will get
shut panther
I think one of the lesser in terms of dps?
but I might be wrong I haven't played everything
keen kettle
Bard would probably not be my first pick for "less button pressing," but also keep in mind that XIV has a 2.5 second global cooldown
Even when things seem hectic, the global cooldown is slower than other games
open coral
Bard is a pretty busy class at max level. They have a lot going on from keeping up dots to making sure they always have a song running and using procs from that song (where applicable).
shut panther
warrior definitely feels slow to me though, very few ogcds
violet ibex
Dragoon feels slow
open coral
And since there are no addons in FFXIV, you can't have a rotation addon helping you out there.
leaden ginkgo
Btw I aināt a story guy but why this ngga Ser Flex or something working the baddie Fueliss like a slave?
stiff cosmos
ye, the waving in spells between global GCD was something that seemed interesting, But look at how many button
shut panther
dragoon has a lot of separate buttons though, that are used rotationally
leaden ginkgo
We already have to do like 5 side quests just for him
open coral
That's Dark Knight
Honestly, for the fewest number of buttons I think the healing classes are probably it.
violet ibex
PLD has too many damn buttons
stiff cosmos
Im more of a ranged class. Usualkly ranged doesnt have to be so positionn aware
keen kettle
WHM has almost no buttons, it freaks me out because I main AST
fallow summit
contrary to what people sometimes say Summoner rotation is pretty simple its just long
violet ibex
AST has lots of buttons too
open coral
Even ranged have to be positionally conscious for mechanics. Not for damage purposes though.
stiff cosmos
WMH - White Mage?
open coral
Yes, WHM is WHite Mage
open coral
BRD is BaRD
lament wagon
bird
fallow summit
oh yes im having fun levelling AST right now its fun in its own way
keen kettle
AST is my true love, and not recommended for those who don't like pushing buttons
open coral
AST always drives me crazy because I keep trying to get three different seals but the cards don't want to proc.
leaden ginkgo

Can u mark areas of interest in the map?

No?

Do you use macros for the cards? because i always find that the most difficult part
open coral
You can set flag marks on your map for a single location at a time.
keen kettle
Ronin yes, with L1+R1 on the map (I think ctrl + right click? on PC)
leaden ginkgo
Ohh
keen kettle
i don't use macros for cards, I play on controller, use no macros at all
keen kettle
You can share the coordinate by typing <flag>
keen kettle
š¼
open coral

Conversely, to remove the flag its shift right click
open coral
Or on controller, L1 + R1 on the same spot again.
leaden ginkgo
I like ur name @little swift

is there a way to link pfinders easier? I find if I actually type <pfinder> it doesn't work
little swift
Thanks! I didn't change it
shut panther
only if I do it from the menu
open coral
Spoilers
violet ibex
think you're in the wrong chat for that stuff man
little swift
Ronin use #general-discussion or #archived-lore-spoilers for that
leaden ginkgo
Oh dang my bad
little swift
Also mark that as a spoiler next time
stiff cosmos
So, besides WHM as healer what is another easy ranged option?
leaden ginkgo
Wait how I mark as spoiler?
violet ibex
was it a location spoiler?
warped nest
|| front and back works too
leaden ginkgo
||I like gays||
violet ibex
all of ranged is easy
keen kettle
WHM isn't really "ranged" per se (yes it stands at a distance, but it does not belong with ranged DPS at all), just so you know
warped nest
Like || so ||
violet ibex
pick one you like
keen kettle
But I agree that range DPS is pretty easy to play, choose something you like
shut panther
ugh, opening the party finder window is annoying
keen kettle
I would really not worry so much about what the job is going to look like at level 80, since you can change jobs whenever you want
If you play it for a while and it's not for you, that's fine
shut panther
seems silly that just tryping <pfinder> doesn't work, when that's what the link button inputs, but it can't be helped I guess
leaden ginkgo
can i watch the heavensward trailer? i have finished the seventh astral era.. would it still spoil anything?
stiff cosmos
I looked at monk and was like - nope, DPS positioning. to thanks.
keen kettle
should not spoil anything at all yasie
The trailer was meant to be watched before HW came out
leaden ginkgo
oh ok, thx
scarlet arrow
all melee dps have some kind of positional requirements @stiff cosmos , MNK is simply more upfront about it
fallow summit
the positional requirement for monk practically disappears in the high levels due to one skill and role actions
violet ibex
that skill saved monk for me

Is 480 crafted hq melded gear that much worse than the 490 allegory gear? I just hit the tomestone cap and idk if I should buy 490 gear for SCH or if I should but it for a diff class (SCH is fully melded)
keen kettle
In the short term no but in the long term yes since you can upgrade 490 gear
fallow summit
its worth getting the 480 stuff while you work towards the allegory gear set
leaden ginkgo
ohhh I forgot about upgrades, it's been a while
keen kettle
I haven't been capping my Allegory at all so I've been agonizing over what order to do it in for AST (I also have 480 HQ crafted and melded)
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I saved up for a month now i'm at 2k and i'm like should I buy my SCH the gear for allegory or a diff class haha
keen kettle
I think you'll need more than 2k for the Allegory so if you main SCH I would buy what you can now, get more Allegory
fallow summit
thats like the chestpiece and the legs
twilit arch
general gearing priority is: weapon > chest/pants > hands/helm/feet>belt>accessories
fallow summit
the most expensive bits
twilit arch
which allegory pieces you want ofc depend on bis and whether you're going to be doing savage
leaden ginkgo
should I ignore the weapon since you can get the relic weapon thing?
keen kettle
That's what I thought @twilit arch but I wonder if I'm taking a risk by skipping weapon for relic, I'm not a savage raider
Though my FC keeps trying to cajole me into it
twilit arch
nah, if youre not going to savage, relic is perfectly fine
in some cases it can be better than 490 weapon
keen kettle
I'm undecided on raiding, I have way too much free time on my hands now (minimal work until late August)
Seems like a waste to not learn how to git gud
twilit arch
if you're not quite sure if you're going to dip into savage or not, i'd look at the BiS sets ups on the balance for your job of choice
and go for those allegory pieces first

How do I actually level up my crafters and gatherers via Ishgard restoration? I saw someone comment on a post that they hit 70 in a day on a gatherer
As for crafters, is it just collectables?
leaden ginkgo
aureila the long queues for dps dont put u off?
keen kettle
I don't play DPS usually
leaden ginkgo
ofc u dont..............
keen kettle
@queen cove For gatherers it's Diadem now, for crafting it's turning in collectables. I was 80 before Ishgard but it sounds like Diadem is not the best for gathering experience, regular collectibles are fine
leaden ginkgo
i play dps @leaden ginkgo
keen kettle
I don't really know what the implication is there, I play all roles and do have DPS at 80
leaden ginkgo
honestly they get a lot more reasonable as you get into content people are actually doing
agry doesnt that put u off
but honestly its not that big of a deal cause you can do things in between
no
i use my dps queues which are on average 7-10 minutes to do some side quests
i was a healer first and i love group combat content
but after swtiching to arcanist ...gawt dayum dude
i too was a healer first
Arcanist at 30 becomes scholar and smn
scholar is a healer smn is a dps
average wait time for me is like 18minutes man
ye i wanna go summoner cause someone here said it had an oompf to it
again you're in low end dungeons that no one wants to do hence high dps time
trueee
go unlock palace of the dead
queen cove
Ah gotcha
leaden ginkgo
fast leveling until lvl 50
agry do u think archer has ooompf or nahhhhhhhhhh
hm ol
queen cove
Regular collectables for crafters Im assuming?
leaden ginkgo
ok
keen kettle
You can do Ishgard turn-ins, you just need mats from Diadem
keen kettle
For 70+ prioritize the Facet quests, and ALC always has good turn-ins with Rowena at 70+.
leaden ginkgo
archer seems fun at the higher levels but it bored me to no end early on so i dropped it
@leaden ginkgo with leveling summoner post 30 since you have scholar which is a healer
queen cove
Gotcha
leaden ginkgo
you can spam dungeons as scholar for isnta queue and it still levels summoner
queen cove
So just spam normal collectables okay
leaden ginkgo
all of the ishgard stuff is counted as collectables for crafter
lost sinew
weāre trending towards a 530 ilvl tome gear cap for shb, right?

Ishgard Restoration does have some nice rewards, and I confess that I wish I had done it sooner. I was already level 80 when it came out and didn't see the point.

why dont u enjoy it

u upgrade them like relics?

It's just a straight grind for the relic so nothing thought-provoking, expert recipes are definitely what you want if you want a challenge.

leaden ginkgo
i enjoy Monk and almost all of the casters
sinful pewter

gatherers get relics too? there is a relic fishing rod?
twilit arch
yes gatherers have a relic as well
keen kettle
Yes on both counts, I'm still working on my gatherer relics.

it has less of a rotation and more of a proc/priority system on what to cast
sinful pewter
thats quite dank
little swift
the only rotation is the song rotation
leaden ginkgo
scholar is most likely to be my main class once i reach 80 however i dont enjoy summoner that much so i'm leveling monk to be my main dps @leaden ginkgo
really just pick a class you think looks cool

Sometimes it shows all the quests in the map

The only quests that will show on your minimap are those quests you have pinned, remember? š
leaden ginkgo
Ahhhhhh
keen kettle
(Or at least, whatever up to 5 quests are on your quest list)

I don't know what the game's internal system is for prioritizing quests, but the short answer is if it's on your quest HUD it's on your minimap

we cant change it and complaining about it here isn't going to do much

At any rate, you can still prioritize quests in your journal, even if you hide the quest list UI.
