questions-and-help

[prime pendant]

Its really fun but still

[keen kettle]

depending on your server, most people are hanging out in endgame areas

[open coral]

^

[keen kettle]

on my server there are people in limsa, sure, but the vast majority of people are in endgame hubs

[prime pendant]

Ah ok, thats good to know

[open coral]

What you have to remember about FFXIV @prime pendant is that it is a Final Fantasy game first, and an MMO second.

So yes, it's a very single player type experience for a while.

[prime pendant]

Shame, i was hoping this would be my wow classic replacer

[open coral]

Outside of the mandatory dungeons and trials.

[prime pendant]

Hoping the MP aspect picks up at 50/80

[open coral]

MP aspect?

In what sense?

[prime pendant]

Erm, well i hate to constantly compare to wow classic

[keen kettle]

I mean you can literally open the duty finder any time and play with people after level 15

[prime pendant]

But given that its my main frame of reference

There wasnt much you could do purely solo on wow classic

You had to always ask mages for food water, needed leatherworkers for your clothes

[open coral]

Idk, I played Classic solo as Shaman.

[prime pendant]

Needed a blacksmith to make certain end game items for you

[faint flare]

Well considering you can do everything yourself

[velvet reef]

so how exactly do you use party finder for a certain raid

[prime pendant]

You can play solo but you are very much punished for doing so

[fresh lodge]

This game is much closer to retail than classic

[faint flare]

You make a party

And wait

Or join one thats forming

READ THE DESCRIPTIONS

please

[open coral]

XIV: ARR is modeled very heavily off of retail WoW from a number of systemic aspects.

But with a Final Fantasy twist to them.

[velvet reef]

alright well you guys said I needed to join a certain raid to get the edenchoir weapons which one was that again?

[prime pendant]

Yeah it does seem similar, but i hoped that this game would learn from the mistakes

[faint flare]

Refulgence

[prime pendant]

Wow classic woulda been perfect if it had this games combat

[keen kettle]

@prime pendant you're in the very beginning of this game dude, don't really think it's fair for you to judge at this point

[faint flare]

If you're going in full crafted you're not gonna have a great time

[velvet reef]

oof I don't have that I have resurrection descent inundation and sepulture

[keen kettle]

and now we're veering into offtopic territory so I digress

[velvet reef]

Savage modes

[fresh lodge]

You need to clear E5-7S before starting E8S

[open coral]

Have you unlocked Eden's Verse?

[flat summit]

@prime pendant

[prime pendant]

ello

[velvet reef]

I only have edens gate raids unlocked atm

[fresh lodge]

Savage isn't something you can just jump into and expect to clear first time

[flat summit]

Game is first a final fantasy game a mmo second

[prime pendant]

So i've heard

[mossy current]

Ronin they said that

[flat summit]

If u dont like the ff part

[fresh lodge]

I really hate that mantra

[flat summit]

U can skip

I skipped

[open coral]

Okay, you need to unlock Eden's Verse Normal in order to do Eden's Verse Savage.

[velvet reef]

ah

[flat summit]

BUT u have to take ur time to read everything and learn in the game

[prime pendant]

dont get me wrong, im enjoying my time leveling and watching cutscenes

[plain zephyr]

You can do e8s if you join a premade and the leader has it unlocked iirc

[flat summit]

Or u wont know how to play

Ok ok

[fresh lodge]

You can

But don't

[prime pendant]

But im just seeing a lot of signs that the late game is going to be lackluster

I severely hope i am wrong about that

[flat summit]

Nah

[fresh lodge]

What signs?

[plain zephyr]

Yea I would only do that if you know them personally

[open coral]

^

[flat summit]

The late game has a lot of cool multiplayer dungeons

[plain zephyr]

And they're aware

[fresh lodge]

Late game is perfectly fine

[flat summit]

And also collectables

[open coral]

I am also curious about what signs.

[prime pendant]

Lack of social contact needed, no FC activity on my server, short raids, so on

[mossy current]

Late game is far from lackluster, since it includes previous content as well

Eureka is a fun distraction

[prime pendant]

Competitive guilds have all but gone since its late in the game apparently

[open coral]

"short raids"... are you even level 50?

[flat summit]

Ur FC dead but the game is very social imo

[prime pendant]

Apparently the longest raid is 30 min - an hour

[plain zephyr]

You're at the point in the game where you dont require interaction with other players

[fresh lodge]

This game has never been able competitive guilds

[bitter plaza]

well I mean if you want to raid by joining random PUGs and never talking to them you can, but you're not going to get far

[flat summit]

But theres no competition tho

Between players

[keen kettle]

Length =/= quality

[flat summit]

^

[fresh lodge]

Raiding isn't done through guilds, its done through separate raid teams called statics

[faint flare]

Only competition is world first races for savage and ultimates

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

[prime pendant]

Yeah the races are the competition

Fastest clear times

Parses

so on

[faint flare]

Cause lul who the fuck really cares

At the end of the day

[prime pendant]

me

[fresh lodge]

You can get the social aspect from joining a static

[flat summit]

I plyed chinese mmo where it took 2 hours to fucking kill 1 mother F bosss in final dungeon with 24 people

[prime pendant]

;p

[flat summit]

Shit was intense af but i’d say I prefer the 30 mins I spend in ff dungs

[open coral]

Parsers are against ToS in this game.

[plain zephyr]

We still do it

[prime pendant]

LOL

[plain zephyr]

Just saying

[open coral]

People use them, but they're not a metric

Not the way they are in WoW

[fresh lodge]

They are

[flat summit]

And also

Im not sure if this is right channel

[wheat lark]

On my server, there are so many people! Whenever we talk to someone they are very nice too. Pretty much a ton of people are either gathered in lim or grid by the giant crystal.

[fresh lodge]

Even if they're a grey area here, they're still a valid metric

[flat summit]

#rants would be ur go to place

If u wanna rant

[fresh lodge]

They're not ranting

They're asking questions

[open coral]

This is more #not-ffxiv-discussion than a rant.

[prime pendant]

Not really ranting, i am actively asking stuff too

[open coral]

But it does still fall into the questions category

[prime pendant]

Sorry if i come off ranty

[open coral]

You don't

[fresh lodge]

No its fine

[keen kettle]

I would just say give this game time to get to the actual meaty content before you start declaring it's "repeating WoW's mistakes"

[open coral]

You're fine.

[flat summit]

Ok my bad

[prime pendant]

Yeah im 100% getting to lvl 80 before i decide one way or another

[keen kettle]

And honestly the early game content is still quite good even if it's not everyone's cup of tea

[prime pendant]

And doing a few raids

[velvet reef]

is it possible to get back into Alexander Savage raids now days lmao

[quasi canopy]

do food buffs pause in sanctuaries?

[plain zephyr]

The game holds your hand cuz they're afraid of you getting a boo boo for the longest time

No

[keen kettle]

no @quasi canopy

[open coral]

No @quasi canopy

[fresh lodge]

You can do it, but most people just steamroll it at 80

[velvet reef]

there's a certain kana I'd like

katana

[keen kettle]

I know a few people who do Alex Savage synced for fun but people just farm for glam

[flat summit]

But actually guys

[fresh lodge]

People farm in for glamour

[open coral]

@velvet reef Yes, but generally as unsync, and you need a group.

[flat summit]

What do yall do at endgame?

[plain zephyr]

Did the alex raid series have katanas?

[fresh lodge]

So you should be fine

[open coral]

A12S still hits like a truck.

[velvet reef]

I want the Gordian katana

[fresh lodge]

@plain zephyr yes

[flat summit]

Raids and alliances and grinding and shit?

[prime pendant]

Well erm

Better way to measure it i guess

[velvet reef]

you can get the Gordian Katanga from the books you get in those raids

[mossy current]

Glam hunt is endgame for me

[velvet reef]

katana***

[prime pendant]

Assuming i am a fresh level 80

[keen kettle]

What I do in endgame: omnicraft, gear up, try to git gud for savage, play new game+, level my alt jobs

[faint flare]

I do my weekly savage clears then go play other stuff

[prime pendant]

How many hours does it "usually" take to go from fresh 80 to nearly done with end game gear stuff

[faint flare]

Since I've done everything else

[fresh lodge]

Weeks

[keen kettle]

err, gearing is not really the same as it is in wow at all

[fresh lodge]

Months most likely

[wheat lark]

I started playing WoW Classic in August when it was rereleased because my bf wanted me to play it with him. I have to say this game definitely reminds me of WoW but with a lot of improvements and more things to do. There is soooo much to this game that I feel like you'll end up busy forever. My bf's friend just keeps leveling up new characters in WoW Classic because he doesn't know what to do....

[plain zephyr]

Depends on how much money you wanna spent at lvl 80 to gear

[velvet reef]

I've never liked wow

ever

lol

[open coral]

It's pretty easy to get endgame gear @prime pendant since crafted gear is more or less on-par with the Normal Raid gear.

[keen kettle]

gearing is a focus but not the main focus of endgame tbh since it's time and week locked

[plain zephyr]

If you buy full crafted you would be able to immediately jump into savage

[prime pendant]

@wheat lark What do you think about wow classic late game vs this?

So im worried about the impact or raids i guess, if you can remember BWL and ZG

[plain zephyr]

You'll be kinda at the minimum requirements tho

[prime pendant]

BWL expecially took 4 hours to first time

and it was probably my best memory of my life

[quasi canopy]

is there any tradeskill(DoH/DoL) I should pick up at low levels if i'm not rushing to end game? leveling with a friend and don't want to pull too far ahead of them

[fresh lodge]

WoW classic raids and FFXIV raids aren't really comparable

[open coral]

^

[flat summit]

Btw which server in chaos r u on? @prime pendant

[prime pendant]

I am on Cerberus

[flat summit]

Oh ok

[prime pendant]

Tried to get on the xp server but no luck!

[keen kettle]

DoL makes the most sense @quasi canopy since you can gather materials for crafters later if you like, plus 3 gatherers vs 8 crafters

[prime pendant]

The grind is fine here tho

[fresh lodge]

Since FFXIV raids are 8 players, more burden is put on the individual player, and its more likely for a player to have to do mechanics

[prime pendant]

leveling still seems reasonable

[wheat lark]

I'm not at late game yet in this game. I'm only level 46ish. But I really enjoy this game. I play a paladin as my main and monk as my 2nd character. My bf plays a warrior in WoW and I'd say that monk definitely reminds me of his warrior lol.

[prime pendant]

If you to perform better as a solo player here than you would in wow classic

[fresh lodge]

And a single player making a mistake has a bigger impact in FFXIV than classic

[prime pendant]

Than ill love it

I was worried about raids being too easy

[flat summit]

Oh I got Paladin yesterday

The skills are so sick

[prime pendant]

in classic if everyone isnt on point, all 40 men die

[fresh lodge]

Not to mention Classic raids are intentionally simple in design

[plain zephyr]

The community in general is too pepega to do savage in this game

[open coral]

Savage raids and EX trials are very tight on mechanics.

[faint flare]

Nah actual raids like extreme and savage and ultimate are.little room for error

[prime pendant]

@wheat lark Well keep at it, wow classic leveling is the worst part of the game by far, the game starts at 60

[open coral]

One person screwing up placement can wipe the party.

[velvet reef]

do Savage raids one shot kill on even AOE attacks?

[faint flare]

Yes

[plain zephyr]

Some do

[wheat lark]

Ya I'm level 60 on WoW Classic. I play a shaman.

[open coral]

Some yeah

[plain zephyr]

Not all do

[prime pendant]

Savage raids certainly sound fucking awesome

[quasi canopy]

@keen kettle thanks - any specific DoL or all of them woudl be fine?

[faint flare]

Most

[wheat lark]

I'm level 47 on this game

[velvet reef]

sounds about right

reminds me of honkai

[prime pendant]

Ahhh ok binny

[plain zephyr]

Some will put dmg down or dots or vulns on you

[prime pendant]

I thought you meant 47 on classic

[velvet reef]

lmao

[fresh lodge]

If they'rw on content, then most likely

[flat summit]

Im a fresh 80

Levelling alts to 80 atm

From 70

[bitter plaza]

savage fights are great

[keen kettle]

@quasi canopy FSH is not for everyone but it's my favorite and different from the others, I do suggest leveling all 3 close-ish to each other so you can share one gear set. You could also do just MIN/BTN together.

[velvet reef]

I want to do Alexander burden of the father savage

[bitter plaza]

except for the LR mechanic in E8S

fuck LR

[faint flare]

[open coral]

I don't even remember which boss that was.

[flat summit]

Oh yeah btw guys how to unlock savage and ultimate trials like bahamit?

[velvet reef]

but I have to get a party together no way I'm finding a match even on party finder lmao

[faint flare]

Love me some light rampart memes

[open coral]

@flat summit

[keen kettle]

I mean it's going to take you more than 5 seconds to get a party together

[fresh lodge]

Unending Coils is unlocked by clearing O4S

[flat summit]

Is there a wiki for the quests Inmean?

[wheat lark]

Also, I have to say the questing in this game isn't nearly as bad as WoW Classic, which I am so happy about and may skew how I view the game to be more positive.

[flat summit]

What is O4s?

[plain zephyr]

@flat summit you have to finish the normal raid series to unlock savage and completing certain savage tiers will unlock ultimate

[open coral]

Omega 4 Savage

[faint flare]

Omega 4 Savage

[fresh lodge]

Omega Deltascape 4

[faint flare]

Vs exdeath

[flat summit]

Ahhh yeah

[mossy current]

Tree daddy

[open coral]

Deltascape 4.0

[flat summit]

Ok thanks guys

Btw how can I get a horse? 👀

[mossy current]

Yes

[keen kettle]

ARR EX primals

[flat summit]

I don’t feel like a samurai riding a chicken

[wheat lark]

You don't really need a quest guide. For the most part, it is pretty straight forward.

[mossy current]

ARR EX trials

[prime pendant]

Questing is certainly better here than classic

[flat summit]

Ahh they give horses?

[faint flare]

Yeah

[mossy current]

As a rare drop

[fresh lodge]

The ARR extreme trials have a rare chance to drop a boss specific horse

[flat summit]

Oh dang

!faq mounts

[faint flare]

Arr extremes are easily soloable at 80

[fresh lodge]

Excluding Mog EX

[open coral]

Oh! Another thing that might skew things favorably for you @prime pendant All content in this game - including old raids - can be run either "synced" or "unsynced", and can even be restricted with "minimum ilevel" and "echo off" to increase the difficulty, regardless of how overleveled you are.

[faint flare]

And odin if you're throwing that in

[flat summit]

Dang really? I didnt know about being able to do them unsynced

That include dailies too?

[plain zephyr]

Not dailies

[faint flare]

You just turn in Undersized party in party finder options

[plain zephyr]

They have to be done synced

[fresh lodge]

Only use Kupo commands if you're using it to answer someone elses question, otherwise take it to #kupo-bot-spam

[open coral]

You don't get xp when you're running unsynced.

[faint flare]

And you can enter dungeons without sync

[flat summit]

Ok thanks @fresh lodge

[faint flare]

You'll only get stuff found in chests

Nothing else

[open coral]

Dungeons, raids, and trials can all be done under the "undersized party" qualification though.

[fresh lodge]

Excluding current expansion content

[open coral]

^

[prime pendant]

That does sound wicked Aura 🙂

Anotherrando question

Are there any rare items that require huge time sinks

[open coral]

Relic weapons

[fresh lodge]

Relic weapons

[prime pendant]

yaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay

[open coral]

Not rare, but they are major time sinks.

[prime pendant]

That's all i needed to hear

its m i n e

[open coral]

There are also, of course, mount, minion, and housing items that you can farm.

[faint flare]

They're super glowy weapons

[prime pendant]

Ye

[open coral]

For example

!iglam Ingrimm

[prime pendant]

Ive already told myself im not quitting until i have the most expensive house

[zinc orbit]

**Ingrimm** **:** Two–handed Conjurer's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[open coral]

That is the current WHM relic weapon

In its base form.

[faint flare]

Had to pick the worst one

[open coral]

Look, it's the only one I remember the name of, okay?

😄

[mossy current]

!iglam Torigashira Eureka

[zinc orbit]

**Torigashira Eureka** **:** Samurai's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[leaden ginkgo]

is the mog station down?

[faint flare]

That works

[open coral]

There's a nice example of one of last expansion's relics.

[velvet reef]

!Iglam edenchoir blade

shit

[mossy current]

!iglam terpander lux

[zinc orbit]

**Terpander Lux** **:** Archer's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[faint flare]

For arr relic

[fresh lodge]

Guys please

[plain zephyr]

!itemglam edenchoir greatsword

[faint flare]

Relics are the suoer glowy stuff

[zinc orbit]

**Edenchoir Greatsword** **:** Dark Knight's Arm

Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.

[fresh lodge]

I think they get the point

[open coral]

Yeah

[velvet reef]

!Iglam edenchoir Samurai Blade

[open coral]

But anyways, that should give you an idea of the kind of variety of relic weapons there are @prime pendant

Not here @velvet reef

[velvet reef]

ffs

[plain zephyr]

[velvet reef]

lol

[faint flare]

Do in #kupo-bot-spam

[plain zephyr]

I'm pretty sure its katana

[fresh lodge]

What did I just say ._.

[open coral]

Listen to Meara

[velvet reef]

my bad

[fresh lodge]

All good

[flat summit]

Btw guys

[prime pendant]

yeeeeee they look awesome

[fresh lodge]

The images are pulled from Gamerescape, so you can search there for weapons you want

[flat summit]

Do all jobs’ relic quests in Agrys La or something have the same types of requirements; dungeons, crystals etc?

[fresh lodge]

Yes

[flat summit]

Nice

Then queuing should be fast

[prime pendant]

15 levels till samurai

im so fucking keen

[flat summit]

Samurai hella fun

[open coral]

SAM is a good time.

[flat summit]

It is my main dps

Still at 74 tho

[mossy current]

I main it, but I've decided not to go savage this tier

[flat summit]

Hey guys what r frontline campaigns?

Pvp matches?

Like real pvp?

[faint flare]

Yes

Frontline is pvp

[open coral]

Frontline is large-scale PvP like WoW BGs

[flat summit]

Oh how do u queue for it?

Damn thats sick

[faint flare]

Iirc frontline ques you for the 24v24v24 stuff

[flat summit]

I didnt know it existed

[faint flare]

Just que for it

Please go to wolves den first

[flat summit]

Thought there was no pvp here

[faint flare]

As PVP is entirely different

[flat summit]

Oh yes I haven’t unlocked that place yet

How to unlock it?

Quest?

[leaden ginkgo]

I can't fly yet, do i also have to unlock the red thingy?

[faint flare]

The quest id A Pup no longer a your grand company

Currents from quests

[flat summit]

Yes

[faint flare]

Do

[flat summit]

Some mains also give

[faint flare]

And those give currents

The final current of every zone is the msq as you leave

[flat summit]

Ah i see

[leaden ginkgo]

do unlock the red crystals?

[faint flare]

Yes

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh ok

[faint flare]

Thats what they are

They're quest currents

[leaden ginkgo]

i see, how do i know if this is specially for currents and not something else

[plain zephyr]

They show an aether current as the reward

[faint flare]

It says in the rewards

[leaden ginkgo]

ah, where can i find them?

[faint flare]

In that zone

You're in

[leaden ginkgo]

oh right, ty!

[faint flare]

For almost all of them

[open coral]

Some of them won't show up until after you've completed the MSQ for that zone as well, btw.

[faint flare]

Except that 1 quest for ||lakeland|| in the ||Crystarium||

[timid pivot]

Hey, anyone got advice for someone who doesn't know how summoner's rotation goes?

[leaden ginkgo]

Oh so you would never be able to fly in a zone whilst questing there, since you'd have to finish the msq of it

[timid pivot]

I'm level 60, with deathflare and dreadwyrm trance.

But I don't know what exactly to do.

[faint flare]

Summoner is a priority base job with cycles

Put and keep dots up (priotirise using tri diaster for it)

Use trance to reset tri diaster, always get deathflare out

Dont overcap egi assaults

Keep energy drain on cooldown

Dont overcap ruin 4 stacks (when you get them)

Spam ruin 3 when nothing to do

Egi assaults/ruin 2/4 for moving and weaving

[open coral]

Exactly @leaden ginkgo The idea is to get you to finish the MSQ in that zone, and then you have flying available for return visits.

[leaden ginkgo]

Ahh i see, ty!

[faint flare]

And flying for whenever you go gather

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah

[ocean herald]

is book/pages in eden savage once per week?

[faint flare]

For verse, yes

[mossy current]

For Eden's Verse

[velvet reef]

OOOOF

[mossy current]

gate, no

[velvet reef]

thats rough

[faint flare]

All other pages that aren't from eden verse are free

[ocean herald]

because i cleared 2x fulmination today and i only received one page

e5s

[open coral]

Yes, that's correct.

E5 is part of Verse

[ocean herald]

so basically once a week?

damnn

[open coral]

Yes

[prime pendant]

Well

[faint flare]

You have no reason to ever do savage multiple times a week

[ocean herald]

i thought i can farm e5s everyday

[prime pendant]

Anyone know of any good places to find an FC?

[faint flare]

Nope

[prime pendant]

Have been trying the shouting method

but no luck

[open coral]

Limsa Lominsa, Ul'dah, and Gridania.

[faint flare]

Savage is extremely strict

You even fucked over your party

By reducing number of chests

[ocean herald]

haha although its fun, xD

[mossy current]

#recruitment-chaos should be open to you here in discord

[ocean herald]

anyways thanks for the response

[faint flare]

You got one chance to.loot

After that, gotta wait next week

Pages are failsafe is rng hates you

[ocean herald]

but other floors e6s can i have the loot also?

[faint flare]

Yes

[ocean herald]

if i have cleared e5s?

i see

[faint flare]

But again, one chance per floot

[ocean herald]

i got lucky i got coffer

[faint flare]

If you skip a floor. You forfeit loot for skipped floors

So dont skip if you want gear

[ocean herald]

okay thank you, i mastered e5s, but still on process on e6s, thank you.

[faint flare]

You gotta clear 5s every week before even stepping foot into 6d

The moment you load in, good bye loot on skipped floors

[ocean herald]

noted, thank you! 🙂

[velvet reef]

iI it possible to get the pyros katana anymore

realistically

[faint flare]

Yes

Eureka is just a grind

Like with most relics

[velvet reef]

I've heard its painful

[faint flare]

Its more bareable

With the nerfs

[mossy current]

Yes

[faint flare]

And easier to.solo with mega echo

[velvet reef]

getting the resistance weapon was easy

[mossy current]

I spent the last week in Eureka and I finished BA recently

Really nice community, on aether at least

[plain zephyr]

First step is always easy

It's not even a grind

[open coral]

I'm going to hate myself so much when the next step of the current relics comes out.

[plain zephyr]

Just wait for the next step to take doing 300 runs of eden normal

[velvet reef]

how can I start the grind to get the katana

is it a eureka weapon?

[open coral]

Which one?

[velvet reef]

pyros

[open coral]

Yeah, that's a Eureka weapons.

[latent river]

I see stuff in the market board that cost less than what just selling them to an NPC. Is there a reason they do that or trying to be low priced they fail to see they can just sell it immediately for more?

[mossy current]

Pyros? Grab your level 70 relic weapon and go to the pier 1 dock if you've accepted the quest to go to Eureka Anemos

[open coral]

That's just people being lazy @latent river

[mossy current]

https://youtu.be/GOY3iewGCac

[open coral]

They don't bother to check the vendor prices, they just drop their sell price below whatever the lowest is when they list and move on.

[mossy current]

It's a relic, so its hours of grind

[latent river]

Yea

[rough anchor]

Does someone know how to use this site (more specifically, what the timers mean)

[velvet reef]

I got the hoshikiri in like 3 hours

lol

well

more than that

[rough anchor]

I wanna do the behemoth FATE

[velvet reef]

you guys ever heard of Suzaku's Chokuto

how tf do you get this

[keen kettle]

Suzaku EX probably, it’s in the name

[plain zephyr]

Sounds like suzaku alright

[open coral]

That looks like the PotD weapon for SAM

[twilit arch]

that is the sam weapon from potd

[velvet reef]

is it hard to get?

[twilit arch]

its says on the image "Padjali katana" xd

[devout salmon]

Yeah it is the potd weapon.

Level 1 to 70 in five days (Stormblood)

[plain zephyr]

From lvl 71-80 it's just do roulettes and hunts marks

[stark delta]

Well thanks.

[midnight slate]

Do I have to put tank stance on

[little swift]

When tanking?

Yes

If youre doing trials/normal raids with 8 people

And youre not the main tank

You can put it up after the opener so you can be comfortably 2nd place in aggro

[plain zephyr]

Why would you not have tank stance on

[leaden ginkgo]

He's asking because he's new i guess

No veteran would ask that question, this channel is for new or returning player anyway

[verbal hound]

Hello. Is there a free to play thing going on? Because my sub is inactive but I can play

[plain zephyr]

Yes

https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/topics/detail/9783d8d51f93ac40420ee7755d991abb6642feb0

Until may 17

[verbal hound]

ohhh okay

[robust crow]

are adventurer squadron dungeons a decent source of xp for low level classes?

i'm working from home and I 'm trying to find a way to level my level 30 dragoon

[twilit arch]

yeah they're pretty decent until 66 or so

[robust crow]

leveling dungeons and potd take too much attention

[latent river]

When is daily reset?

[twilit arch]

!daily

[zinc orbit]

Tick, Tock, Kupo!

Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 22 Hours, 55 Minutes, 42 Seconds

[latent river]

Thanks

[plain zephyr]

Reset just a few minutes ago

[worldly slate]

So I the reason it takes 30 minutes to get into a dungeon as DPs cos everyone and their dog plays DPs? Or no one plays a tank and healer?

[twilit arch]

because everyone and their mother plays dps

[faint flare]

Pretty much

And just more dps options than tank and healer

[robust crow]

you can also see there's way more DPS classes than tanks or healer

[plain zephyr]

Theres more people playing tank this expac atm

Judging just from queue times at least

[robust crow]

4 tanks, 3 healers, 10 DPS excluding blue mage

[plain zephyr]

I remember having constant 0 second queues back in sb now it's like 3-5 minutes for a queue as tank

[pastel sparrow]

my shared fate menu is greyed out, is this unlockable via main scenario or is it a side quest?

Its for Shadowbringers

[forest lark]

Can I cast higher level item than me as a glamour?

For example Im lvl 75

Id like to cast neo ishgardian

But thats 80, will it work?

[mossy current]

No

The item has to be below in ilevel in order for you to glam it

[forest lark]

Aww shame

[manic oasis]

do you have to do the eden verse savage raids in order every week for the loot?

[open coral]

If you want loot from all of them, yes.

[faint flare]

Yes

[manic oasis]

ahh damn

If you skip a floor. All loot on previous floors are gone

For you

the personnel officer, under expert delivery

but you need to be sergeant second class before you can do so

[jagged rune]

Hey guys
Does "Tales of Adventure" job boost price scale with your current in-game level?
Or would I have to pay the same price if I was a lvl 30 ninja or a lvl 60 ninja?

Also, is it worth doing? I am currently level 46 and I am finding it quite boring to level after I reached lvl 40, it's quite slow now and doesn't feel fun to do the same dungeons

[twilit arch]

no

its 25$, period

[jagged rune]

@twilit arch and what about if it's worth it?

[twilit arch]

that's up to you, personally wouldn't recommend it especially if its your first job

no one says you have to do palace of the dead/heaven on high to level even if its the recommended way of leveling for dps

I prefer dungeons and am in a position where the queue times are that much of a bother, plus there's always fates/daily beast tribes/hunting bills (51+) to mix things up

[jagged rune]

My (current) goal is to get to 50 ASAP, and then buy good gear and start doing Raids, is that unrealistic? Can I start raiding at 50 realistically?

[twilit arch]

most people aren't going to be doing the 8 man raid (binding coil of bahamut) at level sync, and 24man alliance raids are pretty easy these days

Realistically if you want to do raiding, you need to be 80

[jagged rune]

Oh man...really? So people aren't raiding the pre-shadowbringers content anymore?

[arctic heron]

So, I have been getting a lil' ticked off in trying to get the level 40 Squadrom mission, Flagged Mission: Crystal Recovery unlocked so that I can get the Grand Company rank to buy the Lieutenant stuff.
I have all 4 member at and over level 40, done command missions and still it has not shown up.
Wth am I doing wrong?

[latent void]

people are doing the stormbringer 24 man raids for the relic quest chain

err stormblood

[twilit arch]

the alliance raids are more actively done, since there's a roulette for them

[latent void]

also that ^

[twilit arch]

But they're not particularly challenging

[jagged rune]

Well, so is my goal to get to 50 to start raiding and having fun unrealistic then?

So I should get the expansions and level to 80?

[slate arrow]

yes

[twilit arch]

the 8 man raid for ARR isn't done because one its not in a roulette, and two its essentially savage tier

[latent void]

yeah just get to 80 and enjoy the ride

[jagged rune]

yeah just get to 80 and enjoy the ride
@latent void and do you recommend I get the boost then or is leveling to 80 'easy'? because so far 40-50 is the most unfun experience I've had to be honest

[carmine laurel]

Hey winners! I'm making my way towards lvl 80 and as I do I know I'm going to need friends for the end-game.... Just wondered where the best place to start is? Here? The fellowship finder? Or somewhere else? TIA

[slate arrow]

you can't just boost to 80

[latent void]

don't boost. the ride (esp after ARR) is lots of fun

[slate arrow]

a: everything is locked behind the MSQ

b: you can only boost to 70

[jagged rune]

70-80 is a lot shorter than 46-80 bro

b: you can only boost to 70
@slate arrow

[slate arrow]

70-80 means jack squat when you still need to do the MSQ though unless you want to pay up extra

[jagged rune]

What do you mean?

Doesn't the job boost get rid of the MSQ too?

[slate arrow]

no

MSQ is a separate purchase

[jagged rune]

Ah so i'd still have to play the MSQ with level sync?

[slate arrow]

yes

[verbal hound]

Has there been nerfs on previous patches? Haven't played for about 3 months now

[jagged rune]

But tbh, wouldn't that even make it faster + the exp goes toward leveling to 80

[slate arrow]

well not the MSQ but MSQ instances namely

[mossy current]

The most of a nerf recently was the SMN potency nerf in 5.2

[slate arrow]

only 10 potency though

[verbal hound]

oh okay. so they're still on top

[rough lance]

the launcher update still as slow as last time?

[shell arch]

am I safe to abandon quest to pick it at later time?

side quest

[twilit arch]

yes

[mossy current]

Should be

[midnight slate]

Where’s the hair dresser

Hair dresser is the aesthetician

You can find their crystal bells

In most inns

[midnight slate]

at what level can i get a faster mount?

[little swift]

Upper decks

!faq mounts

[zinc orbit]

Mounts FAQ

Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

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

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

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

'Can I make my mount faster?'

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

[faint flare]

All mountd are same speed

[random kindle]

what level is the first upgrade at? or can i buy riding maps first?

[faint flare]

Upgrade is via msq for first level

Riding maps for all but Shadowbringers is via hunts

Shadowbringers riding maps are brought with bicolour gemstones

[steady basin]

Hi I'm new to the game and just unlocked the main story roulette, is there a way to tell which dungeon you will get or it's completely random?

[mossy current]

Like leveling roulettes, it's random

[jagged rune]

Hi I'm new to the game and just unlocked the main story roulette, is there a way to tell which dungeon you will get or it's completely random?
@steady basin random, but you should do it daily because it gives a huge chunk of EXP

[heavy marsh]

I made a payment for crysta but I havent received my crysta yet and its been a day since I paid for it

[faint flare]

Its a coin flip between the 2

[random kindle]

do you know what level the msq for the faster mount is? @faint flare

[heavy marsh]

What do I do

[faint flare]

The mount speed increases per area during or when you finish that area

[random kindle]

oh i thought thats separate from the bonus from msq

[faint flare]

No

[random kindle]

ok got it thank you

[faint flare]

You'll get a pop up saying "mount speed in X has increased"

At some point

For that area

[random kindle]

oh ok

[steady basin]

@jagged rune Thanks! Is there a max penalty for leaving the duty or it's always the 30 mins? Because otherwise, can't people just keep leaving the duty roulette if they don't get the 1 they want out of the 2, assuming they're ok with the 30 minute penalty for leaving?

[latent river]

Hippo if you are uncomfortable with some mechanics in a dungeon l, ask@people on party chat

[jagged rune]

Yeah ^ there is never a good justification for leaving roulettes like that tbh

[latent river]

I just had a hard one that came up and nobody knew what we would do at some point to not die so we googled it lol

[little swift]

The penalty increases with every leave for the day

Iirc

[faint flare]

People leave msq roulette to try and get praetorium for more xp

[little swift]

Not like there are mechanics to pay attention to

[uncut escarp]

Is it worth upgrading your retainer? E.g. from marauder to warrior?

[faint flare]

It only lets then wear job specific armour

[little swift]

It lets them wear your class gear

But otherwise its meh

[steady basin]

I see. But isn't that really easy to fix though? Can't they just implement something like 3+ leaves banns you from the roulette until next day or something?

[slender sphinx]

Can you glamor the Tonberry knife over other weapons. It says "projectable" but ixls that only for the CUL class?

[steady basin]

that way people can't keep cycling and has to do the one they get

[twilit arch]

only for cul, since that is the only one who can equip it

[slender sphinx]

So, if I understand correctly, I cannot glamor this knife over a sword or a cane?

[faint flare]

No

[twilit arch]

no

you can only glamour stuff you can use on that class/job

[faint flare]

No cross roling glamour

[slender sphinx]

That why are they selling it for $4 on mog... That seems like wasted potential. Thanks for the info

[little swift]

@steady basin each time they leave its 30min extra wasted on top of requeuing

Its their own time wasted

You can easily complete msq roulette dungeons without a full party now

That said the slots will usually refill anyways

[steady basin]

guess that makes sense too, thanks

So, I have been getting a lil' ticked off in trying to get the level 40 Squadron mission, Flagged Mission: Crystal Recovery unlocked so that I can get the Grand Company rank to buy the Lieutenant stuff.
I have all 4 member at and over level 40, done command missions and still it has not shown up.
Wth am I doing wrong?

It should automatically appear when one or more squadron member reaches level 40.

8 days upon login

[leaden ginkgo]

thank you, that clears it up a lot lol

[twilit arch]

@arctic heron unfortunately, i'm not sure why you're not getting the flagged mission since the only requirement for the 1st LT mission is have a squadron member at lv40. I'd say try logging out and back in, and if that doesn't work send a support ticket in

[arctic heron]

Will, do. Hopefully this works because this is just a stupid situation XD

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there a list of FAQ commands?

So I can check those first before asking here

[open coral]

Doesn't seem to be.

What exactly are you trying to find out about?

[leaden ginkgo]

Really, wgat its calledP

i dont want it to happen on a wrong timing

it's just a case of FFXIV being FFXIV

is there an easy way to get gear for retainers?

I've got a bunch of lv70s atm

[twilit arch]

vendor gear is fine for them, or any old gear you've got on hand that you don't need

[slate arrow]

poetics gear and job gear also does the job as well

[hot dock]

is it enough to hit the necessary stats to gather say lv60-80 items?

[dark ravine]

Umm it's ps4 unless there's an update it tells me about then i can't do that

[calm trench]

[carmine laurel]

Ah, okay

[twilit arch]

Vendor gear should be fine, might not be able to hit the old legendary node mats with NQ serge stuff but once they get 71 should be able to get the brightlinen stuff

whats the exp bonus

[tropic knoll]

yes

[open coral]

Yes, you get a 100% xp bonus to jobs under level 70, and a 50% xp bonus to jobs over 70.

[leaden ginkgo]

how would you level it

without msq

[open coral]

Depends on the role.

[leaden ginkgo]

dps

[open coral]

For dps, Palace of the Dead until level 60 then Heaven on High until 70 are the usual recommendations.

[mossy current]

Easiest would be to spam Palace of the Dead, do daily roulettes and move to Heaven on High from 61+

[leaden ginkgo]

heaven on high?

[open coral]

After that point, you can use the dungeon finder or Trusts to get from 70-80.

[mossy current]

Beast tribes give a chunk as well

[open coral]

[hardy lichen]

so I started last week on the free trial and am thinking of buying the game, but a lot of videos i've seen mentioned a subscription fee that I cant find anywhere xD on steam it is only buy to play, am I missing something here?

[twilit arch]

!faq subprice

[zinc orbit]

Subscription Prices

[leaden ginkgo]

@hardy lichen I could be wrong, but I would heavily suggest doing it outside of steam. Steam tends to not have a very good record when it comes to it's integration with mmos, and even if it works fine with FFXIV now theres no telling if that will be the case forever

[crimson wind]

I got a materia, how do I equip it?

[leaden ginkgo]

I made that mistake with ESO, and I've always felt burned by it XP

[hardy lichen]

I'm mainly using it because i live in brazil and steam eases everything country related

[little swift]

The game is the exact same from steam or straight from enix

[leaden ginkgo]

gotcha

[little swift]

Just if you buy from steam you're locked into steam only for future expansions

[open coral]

Unless you want to rebuy the entire game.

[little swift]

But you can pay sub with steam wallet

[leaden ginkgo]

i just hit lvl 80 and some df r showing that they give phantasmagoria and allegory tomestones, are they worth doing df on my 80 or should i just do them on another char?

Oh no, IK the content is the same and everything, that's the same for eso- in eso's case it was more things like Lag and Optimization that were major issues, and when I looked into it basically everyone told me "yeah, ideally don't get mmos from steam"

but if most nthink it's fine

Then by all means 😛

[open coral]

The most common issue with the Steam version of FFXIV has to do with registering the game version.

[hardy lichen]

i see, Ill look if ffxiv has good monetization and stuff like that for my country and consider it getting from the official site

[open coral]

If you can get past that point, it's no different than if you were using the PC launcher.

Except it's through the Steam launcher instead.

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah, going by reactions here it doesn't seem like a huge issue at all, but personally I feel much safer 😛

[hardy lichen]

kinda sad because i tought it was buy to play xD but if they keep releasing good content i'm good, ty guys c:

[open coral]

Since it's an MMO, there's usually going to be a sub fee. The only ftp MMOs are the ones that either have a pay-to-win model or ones that are more or less at the end of their lifespan.

Sub fees keep the servers running for this game. 😄

[leaden ginkgo]

Buy to play is different, ESO has that IIRC and it's doing perfectly fine last I checked 😛

Mind

They usually rely much more on microtransaction stuff in that kind of case tho

the other big one thats FtP and is actually very good is path to exile

I just did my level 35 onk quest and it said chakra unlocked

what on earth is that

Just fluff to say you got new skill (if you have a skill at.that level)

[prime pendant]

ohh ok

[slender sphinx]

Red mage start at lvl 1 right?

[faint flare]

50

Expansion jobs start at higher level

Hw at 30
Stormblood at 50
Shadowbringers at 60

[slender sphinx]

That is what I had read, now I'm wondering why the level boost is the same cost at $25 if it only goes to lvl 70

[faint flare]

Cause you can get expansion jobs immediately without meeting requirements

Via boosts

[keen storm]

Thx for the Link @little swift but dungeons dosnt give anymore chain bonus ._.

[blissful matrix]

you need a job at 50 tos tart red mage or other jobs that start at 50

[slender sphinx]

I getting your first lvl 80 and then buying level packs for normal classes for $25, but for a class that starts at lvl 50 for the same price seems a bit steep

[faint flare]

And boosts make it so you don't

Its more for people who dont have the requirements for those jobs

If you're fresh you can just get those jobs straight up. No levelling to them and basically skip the starting X levels

[keen storm]

Does the EXP Gear and Buff food increase the rewards for POTD / HOH to ? 3:

[faint flare]

No

Only road to 70 increases that

[slender sphinx]

I know, but my concern is that if you start off as a lvl 50 red mage, 1 -> 70 = $25 (normal classes)
But then red mage is
50 - 70 for the same price.

I appreciate the info :)

@keen storm as you can see the guide was made during stormblood era

The techniques are still relevant

[keen storm]

Yea, some good infos are in it 3: to thx for it ^^

[little swift]

But things like chain bonus were removed

And the exp loaded into the mobs and bosses

[keen storm]

ok so it dosnt matter to wear exp gear for POTD and HOH at all - ok going to check the dungeons later, sadly the ques are hell for dd class c.c

[proper sonnet]

level skips used to be just 60 instead of 70 before

[little swift]

Potd is its own thing anyways your gear doesn't translate

Its aetherpool/gear

[runic heath]

Does anyone know what happens when you activate shadowbringers on an account that only owns ARR? Assume the shadowbringers key was going to be activated on the mogstation and it's not the complete edition of shadowbringers.

[twilit arch]

you register shadowbringers and any expansions you don't currently own

[violet ibex]

can you report someone for unwanted emotes

[burnt spear]

so my friend just started and he only got through ARR, but he wants to make some gil because he wants the rebel coat, is there any method to make some gil even a beginner can do? doesn't have to be quick

[flat summit]

I bought 2 level packs

For rebel coat uesterd

Yesterday

[runic heath]

@twilit arch Are you sure? I noticed theres two packages on the square site that has shadowbringers, one complete and one with only shadow but there are sources that sell only the Shadowbringers expansion

[flat summit]

U get 1 mill

[twilit arch]

Complete edition is for base game + expansions

Shadowbringers comes with all previous expansions

so if you own ARR, all you need to buy is shadowbringers

[runic heath]

Wow so i can get the entire game past arr for 15 bucks huh

Assuming i can buy shadowbringers for 15 bucks

[feral marlin]

Yo

Is ther a party finder on the server or something?

[carmine laurel]

Here is a different 1.... How do I dye my armour?

[quick quartz]

Did I accidentally fall into storm blood or whatever latest expansion is?

The gun breaker guy just showed up but he only has a basic sword and is guarding a lalafel....

[leaden ginkgo]

@carmine laurel there's a quest in the waking sands, iirc it's called "color your world"

[carmine laurel]

Cheers 🙂

[wind skiff]

Ah okay, from revenant toll or somewhere else? (I'm halfway through heavensward, so not unlocked everywhere yet)

You get it from rhalgrs reach, stormbloods "endgame" hub town

[carmine laurel]

Okay, cheers buddy 🙂

[latent prism]

@latent prism

[naive seal]

So I picked the Maelstrom as my company and I need to talk to the quartermaster for the Chocobo quest, but the Quartermaster insists that I'm in a different grand company

... I was talking to the wrong quartermaster

[strange coral]

What city are you in?

Oh nevermind, read the last bit as a question

[naive seal]

There's two Quartermasters in the Maelstrom place. What's the OIC?

[open coral]

That's the Free Company administrator

For if you're making or managing a Free Company

[fallow axle]

for the lord of vermilion challenges in the challenge log, whats the fastest way to do it? Just load up the tutorial stage and afk til it boots you out right?

[leaden ginkgo]

Assuming I'm only doing daily/weekly hunt marks for nuts, how long would it take to get the nuts mount?

[open coral]

@fallow axle Personally I've found that spamming round 5 is the quickest.

[fallow axle]

Gotcha, I'll try that then

[open coral]

Since I believe those challenges require that you win at Lord of Verminion

[hot eagle]

mount was 3400 or 3200 nuts iirc so do the math

[leaden ginkgo]

The challenge logs don't require you to win the match

I normally just do stage 2 and AFK for 3 minutes until I lose

[open coral]

You're right, it is just play. I thought it required wins.

[leaden ginkgo]

If I recall it is faster to win if you just spam wind-up hildibrands on stage 2

Since he's kinda op

[hot eagle]

wasn't fafnir minion good also 80 atk or so cost only 10

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah fafnir is good too

[carmine laurel]

1 last question for today, haha..... Can you buy or find Mind materia? Cannot find any for sale in the market? TIA

[leaden ginkgo]

Main stat materia was removed

[hot eagle]

can't get/meld main stats since shb anymore

[carmine laurel]

Ah okay

[twilit arch]

main stat materia was removed

[carmine laurel]

So stick to spell speed for a healer then?

[twilit arch]

so pretty much the only way to find any would be people who hoarded them from before they were removed

generally meld priority is Piety to comfort > crit > det = dh > sps > piety

[open coral]

NO! Don't spell speed for healer!!

[carmine laurel]

Ah okay! Lol

I'm so new

[open coral]

Do what Kael said

Piety will depend largely on which job you're playing.

[steady basin]

Is there a daily limit to how many recruits I can get to show up by completing challenge quests?

[twilit arch]

nope

[carmine laurel]

I'm Whm

[twilit arch]

every challenge log you do has a chance to get a recruit

[open coral]

WHM typically doesn't need to meld Piety at all because they have so many tools to not spend MP or recover it.

[twilit arch]

except for eureka challenge logs, iirc

[open coral]

And max level healer gear has a lot of base Piety anyways.

[leaden ginkgo]

I don't think I've ever melded piety on any of my healers

Lmao

[steady basin]

kk thx!

[open coral]

Crit > Det is what I normally meld for WHM, and maybe a little bit of DH.

[leaden ginkgo]

If you're going for damage is DH better or equal to Det? I don't remember

On healers at least

[open coral]

idk, I usually go for Det because that affects total healing/damage done

[twilit arch]

if you're going for dmg, DH is better

[leaden ginkgo]

Right

[twilit arch]

Det is better if you want to be safer and benefit both dmg and healing

[leaden ginkgo]

That explains why I have 1.4k DH on my WHM

[open coral]

DH is going to make the hits bigger for damage, but doesn't affect healing, iirc.

[forest lark]

Does scholar have weakest heal out of 3

[open coral]

SCH is a barrier healer.

And their barriers are at least as strong as a WHM's reactive healing.

When used correctly

[leaden ginkgo]

their heals are strong if you take into account shield potency

so for example a crit adloquium is 1050 potency

[keen fable]

how does one compare two pieces of gear side by side, when looking at options for quest rewards?

[carmine laurel]

I will try some combinations of those materia out. Thanks again for the help.... I finished heavensward then stopped playing... just picked the game up again with a new account... Finding my feet again, lots of good help in this discord. Thanks again everyone 🙂

[leaden ginkgo]

It should automatically compare it to what you've got on right?

[forest lark]

Cause im struggling with scholar in 60+ dungeons, I cant outheal the dmg they take lol

And I build crit

[leaden ginkgo]

How's your gear looking

[forest lark]

Its scaeva

[keen fable]

@leaden ginkgo yes, the stats, but not the stats such as intelligence, mind, things like that

[forest lark]

Set

[twilit arch]

right click on the gear > compare

[keen fable]

ah

thank you

[solemn delta]

Is there a dummy in game that shows my dps if I'm on ps4?

[open coral]

No

[keen fable]

mind is better than intelligence for healers, right?

[solemn delta]

So kill times is best option to gauge dps

[open coral]

@forest lark Are you trying to heal after the damage is taken on SCH?

[solemn delta]

Or get a friend with a meter

[open coral]

Because if so, that's why you're struggling. SCH really has to predict incoming damage and react ahead of time.

[forest lark]

Yeah thatsvexactly what I do

[twilit arch]

yes, mind is the main stat for healers @keen fable

[leaden ginkgo]

Is there an FAQ command for tips on finding Free Companies/communities in general? I'm not very good at finding ones that are a good fit for me, basically because I dislike going into one without much info, but also don't really have any specific interests I can use to search with

[open coral]

I don't believe so, because there isn't really any one good way to do that.

[leaden ginkgo]

fair enough, kind of an expected answer tbh :p

[open coral]

Your best bet will be to just take the plunge and join a random FC with the knowledge that you might leave it if it doesn't suit you.

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah, that's kinda what I wanted to avoid xP- really prefer to avoid doing that if possible, but at least I'm aware it's probably the only option so I can get started on it. Thanks!

[open coral]

Start with the ones that advertise in major cities and pick one that seems to be interested in the same kind of content that you're interested in.

Like, if you're looking for just friends to run things with, look for one that says that're a social guild.

You can always whisper the person advertising to ask them more.

[leaden ginkgo]

by advertise in major cities- do you mean via the chat window? And if so, is there a ideal way to browse that? In my experience with past mmos that isn't usually the best option so i'm a bit surprised (normally I'd be told to browse forums or something)
