nope
my acc was made when i was in the us
americas
then buy from NA store
its just a free trial account so i dont see why i cant make a new one anyway
you can if you want to
Yeah, the NA store is what you want if you wish to redeem on that account.
@spark igloo Miner’s Shirt
its very confusing that there is many ways to buy the game
from se store and mog station and third party
mogstation will bring you to SE store
there's no reason to not buy from the NA store, unless you want to restart your character
So quick question, I know that raid rules for current content basically states that you only get one shot to get your loot from the desired raid, do those rules also apply to the shadowbringers alliance raid?
no
you can still connect to EU from the NA client
it only applies to current content
the next alliance raid yes
@cold yew not for Copied Factory
The current nier raid is not weekly locked
Nier raid 1 (The Copied Factory) is not current content
but it will be enforced in the next Nier raid
so how do people afford the 40M houses lmao
the one that will be released in 5.3 will be
40M isnt that bad
they grind and make gils
how do you get rid of the [number] at the end of hotbars?
i have 120+ mils
and you can run that until you win a piece of loot
So how many parts are out for the raid, just one or two parts?
just 1
1 out of the 3
^
so you only get one piece of loot from the raid per week?
@keen fable 40m isnt much? i been trying to find what to do to make cash lol
thats... low
current alliance raid, yes
Nier is not weekly locked
is that per class?
no
per character
per character
no
you make miliions of gils by making 50k - 100k slowly
there's only left side pieces
the 24mans only have left side
alliance raid is for catch up
and there's no belt this alliance expansion as well
@warped nest But he said 40m isnt much, i mean, must be atleast a couple months
so only 5 weeks
oh so alliance raid is not how you get current endgame gear
current endgame gear is always behind savage and the capped tomestone
nope
correct, you use it to suppliment slots until you can get savage/augmented tomestone
Basically, if it's not in high end duty finder, it's casual content.
40m genuinely isn't much
high end duty finder stuff is not limited to one a week, then? is there a limit to it?
yes it will take time
If I power level all my crafting to 80 with no knowledge of crafting how lost am I going to be at lvl 80?
but it is not a lot of gils when you look at what people spend on housing
Extremes have no weekly cap, but they're right below the capped tomestone gear
Or can I Google all the macros and be fine
you can google the macro
Savage have a weird weekly cap
an se account is different from an se members account?
how much is the savage and tomestone gear capped?
so confusing
!faq savageloot
SE store account is different that mogstation Service account
oh that's outdated
tl;dr savage: loot capped by how many have done that week, and you only get one chance per floor per week to roll on all loot
capped tomestone is limited to 450 a week
only 450 players get a piece of gear each week?
no?
no, you can only earn 450 allagan tomestone of allegory a week
savage: 8 players have not done = max loot, 5-7 new/week players = reduced, 1-4 new/week players = no drops
wait then in savage you could go weeks without getting loot if you only get a chance at loot once per week
no
you also have pages
which are dropped in your inventory upon completion once per week
@leaden ginkgo Character Configuration - Hotbar Settings - uncheck 'Display hotbar numbers'
so absolute worst RNG you'll take 8 weeks to get geared up at max item level using Savage and Tomestone gear
How do you lose the sprout? At this point I have 192 hours and just finished Heavensward
You need to finish the Stormblood patch MSQ
Savage loot
Completing a Savage raid floor will spawn a set number of chest:
2 chests - 8 players have not completed this raid floor for this week
1 chest - 4-7 players have not completed this raid floor for this week
0 chest - 0-3 players have not completed this raid floor for this week
Players have 1 roll attempt per floor per week. In addition to chest spawn, Page will be rewarded as weekly completion reward of the raid floor.
If the player completed a higher floor, they forfeit their roll attempts and Page rewards for lower floor(s) of the raid tier for the week
you need to complete the main scenario quest "A Requiem for Heroes" in addition to having 168hrs played
so essentially its always in your interest to run with players that have not completed the floor
yes, which is why statics are so popular
however it's not impossible to do it all through party finder
(or duty finder if you're in JP)
thats such a weirdly icky system
can you find out if someone killed the boss b4 so you aren't gibbed a chest in a pug
I think it warns you before you queue?
ah
i know that it is not an option on Party Finder (which i think it should)
why not just lock players out after they've completed it for the week
that prevents people from practicing or training others
because that would also be weirdly restrictive and sometimes people don't care about the coffers
well you could make a separate que for that
Some people don’t care about the coffers and only want the page, especially for when it’s later in the weekly and most people have cleared
there's no queues
Actually, that feature does exist but only in High End Duty Finder
(I mean, there are, but no one uses them in NA)
and nobody uses High End Duty Finder unless you're JP
jp?
Japanese
Japanese Datacenter
oh
well, it's still used for queueing into the instance, which if party lead has settings selected it won't queue if someone already has the clear or whatever
plus you get a message in chat when you zone in, too
Japanese uses macro and universal-ish strats, so most players know what to do and they pick their roles from reading the macro, that's why they use High End Duty Finder more than NA/EU do

just go to your email
i did the text thing already
?
General rule of notes on JP to NA/EU differences: Consistent strats, usually taking the safe choices, don't like optimization if it means you'll have to do something risky,
It took about 5-10 minutes before my email showed up
social expectation you know how to play your job
just a few things i've noticed online anyways
just says my order is being processed
then you just gotta wait
then start the download
Scalefast can be impressively scaleslow sometimes
Hey guys
you can't download the full game without logging in
and nobody runs torrents for this game
well he can download the client
Ardyn doesn't exist
This is not the place for lore questions that are spoilers, please delete that
Sorry im on pc i don't know how to do spoiler tag
use the other channel
delet
your question about the spoiler
there u go Fox
ty
Oh man so, warrior vs. DK... what are the major differences between them? I’ve read that paladins are the tankiest and I read DK’s are really rotation dependent... my warrior feels a little squishy but I can heal with storms path to offset...
warrior has a big axe
Yeah, I’m 57 warr currently
DRK has more resource management while WAR is more a loose cannon
So is Cid a middy or a Highlander? From what I can see he's got a middy face on a highlander body with middy emotes
Warrior gets a good amount of self-sustain (when with a party member) with Nascent Flash
WAR also has more HP recovery tools
52?
oh i am way off
Oh next level, yeah that’s a big boost in self-healing
rip looks like im not gonna be able to play the game anytime soon
also thrill of battle
!action Thrill of Battle
which gives healing potency increased with the trait
!trait enhanced thrill of battle
can i complete my job quest at 30 before my msq's hit 30
yeah
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
you use gearset
they both use a book
just change the job stone
don't manually change your gear
they use slightly different books later
later on SCH has their own book so it'll automatically equip the stone for you
you can click and drag those as buttons onto your hotbar
oh ok
btw, you need to be an arcanist to accept the job quests for SMN and SCH
at the beginning i'll just need to change job stones
i know, i'm a level 27 arcanist atm
strongly recommend getting into the habit of using gearset once you have Jobs
agh i knew this region thingy was gonna screw me over
transfer to full game from there?
what's better for leveling sub 30, potd 1-10 or 51-60?
wut
yes
51-60
gotcha, thanks
can i control basic pet spells?
if you click the link in your email, it will take you to a place to register your code @naive matrix
arcanist
!action Egi Assault
woo go opera
mog station
it looked like a gerbil
how is someone supposed to figure that one out lol
that i needed to register using opera
chrome is a garbage web browser
when doing it from the client and from chrome didnt
thats your first hint
probably an issue with your browser
who knows
chrome master race
clients will use the default browser of your system
thats why
also chrome is complete shit
so thats another reason why
ok 51 gb download starting
probably see me more tomorrow asking more dumb questions
thats expensive as i'll get out
am i missing something? where in the world do i find the store on mogstation
optional items
optional items
that's a cash shop for u
yeah the 3$ stuff lol
Yes
Medica heals more upfront
Medica 2 heals more if you let the regen tick
You use medica 1 for back to back aoes
Medica 2 to let the regen heal up if there's no aoes coming soon
if the boss can wipe the party in 10s, you would want to spam Medica
ahh ok
the video i saw on summoner said to use bio2 before miasma in the opener
because it's more potent
but that doesnt make any sense, because bio2 is an instacast
They're wrong
are fishing retainers worth it ? cause nobody wants to fish so they are worth something ?
i'd still want to miasma->bio->energydrain->fester->double ruin->fester
right?
just because bio upgraded to bio2 doesn't change that
Yes
hey guys
not sure if i asked b4
But do antiquated weps need to be +2 to be upgraded into next relic wep?
Eureka weps i think
yes
oh fk me
are fishing retainers worth it ? cause nobody wants to fish so they are worth something ?
@keen fable to weave Ability with mages, the standard is to spell + insta-spell + Ability if your normal spell is the same duration as your GCD
oh yea so what ive been doing then
not really, @lime sphinx
nobody wants to fish because you can't get much out of fishing
cause i have 4 retainers, and i was kinda meh having 2 on combat
Fishing retainers only get a selection of fish to choose from for fishing ventures
Their main value come from the 18-hour ventures and the fisher exclusive items from a few of those
2 on combat means you can get fur and leather twice as fast
wouldnt another miner/bot be better than 2 combat ?
or are leather/fur that worth it ?
cause my DOH arent really high level, so i can't see high level crafting receipes
sell to other crafters
ahhh, you can't see
well... fishes aren't used by most crafters
yea, means its harder to see whats worth alot in miner/bot, i'm just randomly cruising through market board
so fat i've been getting granite
you can use garlands tool to check recipes
Fishes are used in certain key items but like the retainer fisher is only for the minions
but you will still need to research yourself which of the items fetch for more money
yea for sure, but it helps to have a direction lol
With 4 retainers the thing would be to have a fighter, miner, botanist, fisher
fisher really isn't that beneficial
Yeah is only for the minions
its better to double up on one of the other three than the have a fisher retainer
That can be selled flr millions
you'll make more off of them than trying to go for the fisher specific minions
very RNG tho
once in a blue moon
if you like to see 1 million once in 6 months
over making 50-100k weekly...
sure
Idk i was getting the fucking dovakin like non stop
I just stopped sending the fisher
if the rate is that good for all players, then it will saturate the market and drop the price
i think i'll keep that setup
So it was meh, but if you dont a fisher i would say fighter because of the materials as you
Yeah
And afaik you can have two retainers with the same job
Ok, take into account their gear progression tho
yea, but say i get them high level, how worth is it to invest in gear for them ?
like above the required amount for them so fetch something ?
there are ilvl thresholds that will allow them to attain better items via their retainer ventures
Is there a way to only see the recipes you currently have the ingredients to craft?
In miner and botanist you can just meld gathering to level up the retainers
no
whats the order of rarity of item colors?
white > pink > green > blue > purple. Roughly
purple is specifically for relic items so they're in their own classification
thank you
Those aren't really rarity though...
doesnt it show you if you click it?
^
No its at the giant guard tower
it's at the pier thing with the boats
A npc will take you to the top
And then another takes you inside
@dusty coyote potd is better if ques for dungeons are long
do we get double xp on DOH/DOL if we have another one higher level ?
cause i know we do for combat
no
then i wonder why my fisher lvl 5 had 100%
more xp
dont think it had rested xp i had just picked up the class
well maybe
rested exp is something your character accrues
its not tied to a particular class/job
How do the Aetherpool arms hold up as actual weapons?

anyone knows that if we dismiss a squadron recruit he/she can appear again as applicant?
yes they can
nice okay thank you!
What's the fastest way to get fire and water shards?
Without buying them on the market
fc might have a stockpile, otherwise you can go gather them yourself
kill fire sprites or water sprites, if you don't want to mine
smithing leves give shards as a reward
low level ones
does NG+ give extra xp?
ng+ doesn't give any exp
For some reason I don’t gain exp from level 1 main scenario quests, I used the level 70 potion
they give insanely low xp compared to what you need to level up
Why do you skip job but not story?
Should I?
Skip story and job
Or
Skip story but not job
Either of them are better than "skip job but not story"
fair enough
If you skip story, but not job, it will only take you 3-4 days to get a single job from lvl 1-70
If you skip a job, but not story, you still need to do the story from 1-70
A realm reborn skip would finish all the areas from which level to which?
what comes after level 50?
It won't do any side quests for you
Heavensward is 50-60
Take note that ARR, HW, etc includes a string of post game story quests at 50, 60, etc respectively
A story skip will skip those as well
Story skip finish the whole set of expansion story and let you start thr next expansion you didn't skip
Btw, expansions are continuous you can't pick and choose which to play
you can skip all the way to the current expansion but you still have to play the current expansion to its completion to reach any endgame content
A Realm Reborn, Heavensward, Stormblood, Shadowbringers
having skipped story myself I'd say either skip ARR alone, or ARR/HW
Shadowbringers has a LOT of moments where you're just underlevelled and have to do other missions to advance the story, so playing through the older expansions and doing dailies every day should let you get through without having to pause to go level up
It is not as bad if you just focus on 1 job
As the story will let you pick decent gears for rewards
Regarding being underlevel for ShB story, you can just do some roulette for daily bonus exp
I was only stuck once at lvl 78 ish
been going through as dragoon and i've had to stop and level up maybe 4 times now, prob because I don't touch dailies until i need to but 
I just do em out of habit :D
the ending of ARR is the best tho
if you skip it you'll have no idea whats happening
@warped nest it does some side quests idk which
After level 50 if you do all of your daily roulettes, you should never hit a single wall.
And you'll also be drowning in poetics tomestones.
Which is really just a nice bonus.
Where and how can I access a roulette?
Once you've completed the first two dungeons in the MSQ (which also requires level 16) you'll gain access to the first of the daily roulettes - Leveling Roulette.
did u skip story/level? @mossy tartan
About to skip ARR now
At level 50 after completing the first of the two MSQ 8-man dungeons, you'll get Main Scenario Roulette.
ok
Why do u skip only ARR and not all?
I want to see the story
I heard ARR has good story tho
I already saw it until level 37
Similarly, unlocking side dungeons will get you 50/60/70 Roulette, unlocking the Crystal Tower will gain you access to Alliance Raid roulette,, and at level 60 unlocking Alexander will get you Normal Raid roulette.
I see
Ah ur in the boring part?
There are also the max-level roulettes 80 (dungeon) roulette, and Expert (level 80) dungeon roulette.
@flat summit original char was level 35, bought the game on steam instead of main client so I had to create another char on the steam version
the ending of ARR is really good
And now used the potion
Wait so for the "A Dream Fulfilled" quest to turn a Hyperconductive Anima Weapon to a Reconditioned one, I need to grow the weapon 240 times...
Damn I see
@open coral thank you for the information!
Im sorry for u lol
It’s ok, I’ll view the story between 35-50 somewhere eventually 😄
I guess u could watch the cutscenes
it's really only the very end
which is a bunch of cutscenes
when you do the requirements
After you unlock the Crystal Tower raid
when you have two or more alliance raids unlocked
any roulette that can be unlocked needs at least 2 of the trials/dungeons available in it unlocked to become available
I just realized that while I remember what the first and third CT wings are called, I cannot for the life of me remember what the second wing is...
labyrinth of the ancients
I see @little swift
No, World of Darkness is the third
thats what im saying
It was Syrcus Tower I forgot
Those are the 2 post story add on dungeons from ShB later patch right?
MSQ roulette only requires one of the two.
2 of them belongs in lvl80 roulette
and 2 of them are expert roulette
All roulettes require two duties in them
Oh, no, you're right Calisae. You only have to unlock the second one to make the roulette available though. You don't have to run it.
That's what I was thinking of
you would have run the first one to unlock the second chronological one anyways usually
Yes
where are the beast tribe quests
depends on the expansion
Depends on the beast tribe
any of them
Well literally everywhere and different from there quest unlocks
the ones that take like 5 mins and give good exp
🤔

well, give good xp depends on your lvl
those would be dependent on level
but based on quick time to completion on each quest
they don't scale?
scale within the expac
Up to a point
not outside of their lvl range
Yeah
so for shb
Pixies
are your only option for combat
which are in il mheg
but the unlock if you haven't done it is in crystarium
which quest
its at the pendants iirc https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Manic_Pixie_Dream_Realm
"Manic Pixie Dream Realm", its in the pendants

Is there a downside to doing very easy on a class quest
Nope
shame
Self respect since it's disgustingly easy
Tell that to Vitus who spanked me 3 times
Who dat?
Final Guy you fight in the GBN quest line
Ehhhhh
off to a good start
barely.
depends on whether you're saving for housing/glam items
How much yall have on average?
close to a million but I spent some of it
I'd say on average an average player without a house probably has a million, maybe two million.
Imma report u
the MSQ gives a lot of gil.
it's not hard
i'm sitting on about 10mil before retainer calculations but this isn't quite the relevant conversation now is it
not really a question more of a discussion
I been playing this shit for 2 weeks i never got past 80k
U hacker @little swift
What is ur ign? i will report u
because u skipped the story
Crafters make money
^
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
is threatening to report people against the rules of this discord
yes it is in fact
anyways to make gil if you skipped the MSQ: Running roulettes, Adventurer in need bonus, and selling materia on the marketboard
lmao
but how is skipping msq related to gil even?
u get some gil off off quests
zero
But thats it
Msq gives alot of gil
It takes like 2 months
it adds up
How much in total ?
each expansion gives around a million gil after patches
@flat summit people usually craft things or use retainers to make money
Thats like 3-4mil in total
it adds up, especially when doing roulettes daily
I thought it would be like 10 mill or so
with roulettes, 5 million once you get caught up on the MSQ
I mean if u start playing now u can still make same money with dailies
some yes
Just do crafting and make 10mil daily
2 months is a long time I might not even be alive
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
make more money then
Btw hey guys
I've been trying to find Drest and I can't find him
Im at the exact spot in the minimap
Anyone know where I can find him?
Drest lives in the shack
The wine guy?
Oh wtf
This is not an automatic door
I just accidentally slipped my character
And it pushed the door LOL
But dang how yall even remember these names
Liek drest LOL
we played the game ronin
He comes back
could be a random type of tree
ikr water
also if you're going to be reacting to things that are happening in the game #general-discussion
your question has been answered
No I was asking
I forgot to put a question mark
"But dang how yall even remember these names"
Not really a XIV-related question
I just legit wanted to know and u guys answered me now, thank u but yeah 😄
But honestly ngl I like talking in this #questions-and-help channel
I know a lot of people here like @remote lintel I see him everyday
In other channels I'd feel uncomfortable
I'm a girl
Or her*
Yeah I ask questions
i'm glad you feel comfortable speaking here but please be mindful of other players, those that might not be quite as far as you in the story
Im new to
and that you do avoid derailing the topics or including spoiler related content in your inquiries
ok my bad I'll include spoier tags
not like all of them just the daily ones or whatever
you get 3/day
Oh, some are easy
They’re like 2-3 minutes usually
They take like 5mins or so
they take about 5ish minutes to do all of them
Most time is spent travelling
I figured
Some even faster if they have no combat
how do i get seals for the maelstrom?
how much exp do they give?
I see
Especially for the time given
Was I suppose to get a coffer after my lvl 70 quest?
Job quest, yes
DNC/GNB don’t get one
Yea
If you’re those classes
Whyyyy
Because their relic gear is in ShB
Hey guys, are Heal skills of melees kinda useless?
ur healer heals u anyway?
Just in very rare occasions u need them right?
Not really, they help out now and then
Second Wind and Bloodbath can be useful in tight situations
Hmm I see
Vercure is great utility when healer is dead and you don't have verraise
But that's caster
Blood Bath can heal a good amount when used with your main burst
Manaward
it has long cooldown
Healers should dps
Makes fights go much faster
!action Afflatus Misery
I mean I didn't know they could dps while healing
!action holy
Most healer gcds are spent on damage
Ah I see
As healers have plenty off ways to heal with off globals
Yes
My Afflatus Misery has probably hit higher than my strongest BLM/DNC attacks
white mage is like green dps
Or nearly as high
Btw are the names in English directly translated to Japanese as katakana?
Like Shamani Lohmani
LOL
Ah really lmfao
Yes, why there's a ton of memes and references
Gotta love how they name certain characters in the game
where?
Oh yeah that
memoria miseria?
I didn't see it
Never skip text for stuff, you'll never know when Koji strikes
got my question answered
Fair enough
Btw guys
Any reason to do the level 80 job quests?
That dont really give anything?
No, it's just a title
SCH is "Knower of Twin Worlds" iirc
"Samurai in a Strange Land" is my favorite
drk is "the boundless dark"
Dang thats dark
sidurgu was the edgiest person in this game
Anyway, getting offtopic
I thought he was like one of those quiet and serious anime characters
He's loud and protective of his...daughter?
Lmfao really
yeah
dam
he just hates everything
Especially moogles
he probably hates sunshine and fun too
Is the fastest way to level retainers is sending them on the 18hrs or hunt/gathering every hour?
Depends on how long and/or often you're on tbh
money
Makes life easier for crafters
Im quarentined so which is the best
If you don't wanna check every hour and have no item in mind to farm, do the 18 hour one
Btw would I still be able to play the game and get good shit without being a crafter?
yes
Yea
Great , good to know
crafting is just the most efficient way to get money
Next efficient would probably be Eureka Pyros and Hydatos
How long it take to get to 70 for a crafter?
if you do ishgard restoration it can power lvl you
but you need to be 20 to start it
Is it like questing and shit?
no you just mass craft and turn things in for exp
@blissful matrix send them out on 1hr specific ventures every hour, while you're logged in and then when you log off the day/ are away for long periods do 18hr
quick random question for my friend, what makes astrologian harder to play compared to scholar and white mage?
crafters have their own rotations tho, like combat classes
so you would need to learn that
@twilit arch alright got it thanks
oh shit wtf lmfao
and on that note, what's realy different about scholar compared to white mage?
it's not that hard ronin
where do they use those rotations in?
@red junco more things to worry about (playing cards) plus their potencies are a bit lower than sch/whm so ast has to work a bit harder to do what the others do
@flat summit because to turn things in they need to be high quality, so you do rotations to increase the quality of the item
sch is generally more proactive play than reactive like whm (using shields to mitigate dmg before it happens)
ah so its like a minigame
yeah pretty much
so whm has more automation to it while scholar requires you shield your players
That sounds bearable
I'll try and see once im done with these relic shit
I just unlocked maps atm
how do i get seals within the maelstrom?
fates, maelstrom hunting logs, expert deliveries, etc
Like just play the game randomly and u'll get them
hunting logs and expert deliveries? also what are the dailies?
@cold crescent Leveling roulette and guildhest roulette give them out once per day on completion. FATEs and GC exclusive levequests give them out as well. Once you reach a specific rank you can also turn in dungeon drops.
press H and you'll see your hunting logs, one is for the maelstrom, kill stuff in that log to get seals.
know that gear you get in dungeons you gotta roll for? You can turn that stuff in to the maelstrom to receive seals in exchange.
whats guildhest roulette?
Just a roulette for guildhest lol
I wouldn't consider running it if you're leveling something thats already 50+
also, how do i do GC levequests? tried talking to a levequest vendor and the game told me no lol
my character is 33
GC Leves are from a different quest giver
also, you have to unlock leves first by talking to the levemette in your starting city? I think?
how do i get leves anyway? i dont think ive done any so far
Normal leves you can find and do at levemates, although I think there are quests to unlock them in different areas
hi, sorry if wrong place to ask, i'm new. anyone know how long it could possibly take for preferred servers to allow new characters again? they're all unavailable currently... i really want the exp bonus and stuff but if it'll take forever then i guess i won't bother
For example in the novice hall in Gridania, theres one in the middle
Preferred Servers?
How do u unlock high end duties btw?

Its kind of RNG Patette
all servers are essentially soft-congested
ohh okay
just got to wait here and there during downtimes
so just keep an eye on it? alright
due to the COVID crisis a lot more people are logged in during regular hours
My friend got in Adamantoise after refreshing for like 20 minutes
yep
Not to mention there was a free week last week
best chance is beyond regular hours after midnight or early morning
good to know ty, i didn't know if it would be full for a week or what, but in that case i'll wait for an opening, thanks all!
@flat summit High end duties are always the "current patch" Extreme and Savage duties. Currently, there's two Extreme trials, One being the Ruby Weapon (MSQ Progression) and one is tied to the Resistance Weapon. Savage duties in the High End Duty Finder are currently E5-E8 Savage.
There's a trial for Resistance Weapons?
for the arr relic weapon quest, do I need to have the relic weapon equipped here?
No
As long as the quest is active it'll drop in your inventory after leaving the duty
Ah but how do u unlock them? @slate arrow
Ruby Weapon is tied to MSQ progession and then a
in the Lochs after doing the sidequest chain
btw
this grand company levequest person is telling me that i need to unlock grand company leves?
Resistance Weapon has a few more requirements, namely first doing the Return to Ivalice raids in Stormblood
@cold crescent You probably need to do the trial leve in the area to unlock leves in that area in general
where would that be available?
It's a
called "Leves of X" I think
X being the zone/city/town you're currently in
I assume you've also unlocked leves in general from the levemette in the inn of your starting town
Well, go and look for a
near the GC levemette
is there any kind of quest finder or quest list for an area?
there is a menu option called Recommendation in the Duty menu
That should display things in the area (or anywhere in the game?) that you should consider doing
so unlocking leves for limsa would be in the limsa hub right?
Unlock quests are very likely to show up there
Would be in the limsa inn yes
i'll take a lookkkk
Up until level 15 every city has seperate branches of leves, and after level 15 I think they all converge in aleport and become unified in terms of progression
GC leves for Maelstrom at early ranks are in Lower La Noscea, just north of the Moraby Dry Docks aetheryte.
i didnt find the vendor for botanist gear for 50+ in ishgard, do we need to craft/market board ?
Can anyone please tell me wtf I am supposed to do as a goldsmith for restoration of Ishgard? I just dumped 200k on mats and I have crafting recipes but Potkin won’t take anything I make. I have been trying to figure this out all day and now I’m getting anxiety over so if someone could kindly explain I would greatly appreciate it
Norlaise The Pillars (7, 10) sells 50-60 gathering/crafting gear @lime sphinx
oh i guess i missed it, i looked at the jeweled crozier, thanks !
All of the items you can turn in require them to be a minimum collectability rating before they can be accepted @grave gyro
you can't simply craft them without putting any collectability into them to turn in
Best bet for level 50 gear may be picking up the ilvl 70 tool from your Grand Company and then toughing it out to 52 when you can start equipping some of the early Heavensward crafted gear (for Botany)
you can see the minimum collectability required when you talk to potkin
How do I do that? Put collectibility in them?
use quality increasing abilities
you're supposed to raise the quality on collectibles so they meet the minimum collectibility gate
Collectibility = Quality/10
#doh-dol-lounge has a spreadsheet full of macros you can use to craft ishgard materials
👏👌👍 ty so much
Theres also that massive "leveling through ishguard restoration" google doc which shouldn't be too hard to find
which has the required stats and macros for every level tier
Its very handy
How do I make a lot of money without crafting
treasure map
Are you level 80?
No I’m 70
then get to 80 and do treasure maps
Daily roulettes, Eureka stuffs, maps, etc
I just did the level 15 or so quest
you'll have to buy them off the marketboard
once you have a level 50 gatherer you can gather 1 every 18 hours or so
(but if you want to make money you should get the level 80 map)
how much do u get off 1 map?
1 map can sell for 10k to 50k gil depending on demand, but the real goodies are on the side
they can drop rare material which is used in a craft for glamour
they usually are always in demand, with the materials selling for a decent amount, and the actual glamour itself regularly going for 200k, give or take a few thousand
damn thats a hell lotta profit
Recent glam can go for a mil
you can usually get 300-400k from 1 hour of maps
yo hit me up for that shit lol
also yeah treasure maps also drop gil
i see
Urban/rebel coats still sell high on Midgardsormr, for example
Someone said turn in poetics for unidentified ore
Trade that in for top soil 3 and sell that for a good price
oh u get that coat from treasure hunt?
Idk if i'm allowed to ask this here but I'm having trouble with my discord overlay on FFXIV
The materials
the materials for the coat
the material for it yes
ahh
it works for other games but it doesnt show up on ffxiv
nah youre probably fine
while there are some hacky workarounds discord overlay hasn't shown up for me in FFXIV for a few months now
the discord launch in admin worked for a short while but an update broke that so
¯_(ツ)_/¯
use phone
big brain power
"just get a second monitor"
not able to get one until next holiday season when I build a rig 😦 ill just use my phone for now i guess
Its just annoying seeing 50 messages at a time from discord smh
do you have your notification sounds on for that server?
no 😮
filter/mute notifications you don't need
^
if you mute the entire server it won't give you sounds
learned that the hard way
do i just use the settings for "only @mentions"?
i have all the train/S-rank calls as pingable
unmute the server and individually mute the channels you don't want
so right click each server and click "nothing"
?
besides the one i want
sorry imma noob at discord
right click channel > mute channel> until i turn it back on
I don't even think i hear sounds either
Hey guys, is it faster for me to unlock ultimate bahamut and beat it, or get the final anima weps?
The ultimate fights are some of the hardest content in game
you're not going to go in there and just smash is with a bunch of randoms
Yeah I know
Btw how long would it take for me to get anima weps if Im just exchanging with poetics and company seals?
And getting them by doing dailies?
roulettes
depends on how much you're willing to play and farm for poetics/company seals
I just downloaded the steam trial version and get this whenever i click play
Im just going to do the roulletes each day
will probably take a week or two since you have to unlock everything
I see
nvm i got it working im dumb
you'll need close to 16k poetics per anima weapon
