Weird wonder what all that 18 hours he was flapping on about was lol

@cold crescent Character Configuration > Hotbar Settings
WXHB pulls from your other crosshotbar
WXHB simply allows quick access to a second set of hotbars
By default it's XHB 8 I think?
so if you set it to target crosshotbar 4 (for example), then you should put your skills at crosshotbar 4
either double tap or hold both triggers depending on ur setting
Go back and read your WXHB settings in the Hotbar setting

if you want to see the WXHB on your crosshotbar at all time, there is a setting to enable that as well
then you hold
Lt + rt or rt+lt
wheres wxhb?
Is there a free/easy to get 2 player mount..?
Or clear Eden 4 Savage
huh? on the top of this discord channel?
Custom Tab, Red
is post arr long?
I know I can pay...buy I'd rather get that black scruffy crystal bunny mount
ahhhh tyty
yes, it will be trimmed down, Shloop, in the upcoming 5.3 patch
scruffy crystal bunny mount?
but WXHB display will only show the WXHB stuff
hows the wxhb work? still cant figure out how to access that once it shows up
you hold both triggers
take a screenshot, Red
it says
Cerberus, they have enabled Expanded Hold (the RT->LT one), i think
yes?
@remote lintel forgot the name but they hug crystals..and are black
spriggans?
but i am not sure
they're not bunnies
the two tabs on the upper left and upper right
take a screenshot of your settings
Yes Spriggans omg..🥺
I have an idea that I have no idea if its good or bad. I was thinking of creating 1 char for multiple classes and mining and botanist while I create another one only for Crafting. Would that work?
yes, but it is a waste of time
one character can run every class im pretty sure
@cold crescent hold RT and LT
doing that brings up macros but it isnt the macros shown on that screenshot
I was thinking in terms of perhaps saving some space in the inventory or wont that be a problem at all?
"macros"
Red, take a screenshot
skills, actions, whatever
go to your Sharing tab
find a Crosshotbar that isn't Shared
or uncheck a Shared Crosshotbar
alright. whats the objective of this?
right now, your Expanded Hold control is using the Shared crosshotbar 8
which mean
it is a pain in the ass to use in combat
How hard is RDM to someone who generally doesn't play casters?
@lime sphinx yes, its a lvl 30 quest in ul'dah called "Gone to pieces"
Easiest caster
unless you only needed the WXHB to just make teleporting easier
i unchecked 8. is that the move?
now
i just teleport manually. trying to get this set up so my skills will be ready to go
go back to your main game
@crimson wind my wife plays RDM and she has no experience with MMORPG and finds it easy to play but does alot or DPS according to her
press R1 / RB + dpad-down
this should bring you to your Crosshotbar 8
assign skills to your crosshotbar 8
then RB + Face-Button-North (?) to go back to crosshotbar 1
btw, Red
you can enabled the WXHB to use dpad as well
so you can see 8 + 8 actions
You can just press RB once to get back to CB1 or 8
If you have no other CBs that is
ho does that work?
Custom Tab
Check Enable WXHB with Simultaneous....
Enable Directional Buttons
Uncheck Enabled WXHB with Simultaneous
now you should see the whole set of your crosshotbar 8
When im done with this little quest chain anyonemind helping me aquire a couple spells?
Is there anyway to use an extra hotbar on controller?
last thing, Red, optional, gimme a sec to check the setting
Yes @crimson wind
how is it used? L1?
I personally dont know.I normally use Kbm
nvm about the optional stuff, red, it is already setup for you
you are good to play with your crosshotbar red
enjoy
for the least used skills, i suggest parking them in Crosshotbar 2
Should you ever need to use a second crosshotbar anyways?
I use 3
your primary: 1
your secondary: 8, via WX
your tietiary: 2, by using R1 manually
After i finish this little chain anyone wanna help me fight Enkidu? i need my Missle spell
you would need at the minimum 2, how you access the 2nd one depends on player prefences
I put my secondary as 2 
i have seen players manually swapping to their secondary
it is what is comfortable for you
does it matter what order I do my ninjutsus or do I just need to do em
the ice one?
the Shuriken one
the ice one has a upgraded version later on
!action Hyosho Ranryu
Deals ice damage with a potency of 1,200.
Mudra Combination: Chi→Jin or Ten→Jin
Can only be executed while under the effect of Kassatsu.
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
so does the shuriken one?
Fuma doesn't
hyosho ranryu?
!action Fuma Shuriken
Delivers a ranged ninjutsu attack with a potency of 500.
Mudra Combination: Any one of the Ten, Chi, or Jin mudra
Triggers the cooldown of weaponskills, mudra, and Ninjutsu upon execution.
※This action cannot be assigned to a hotbar.
!action Raiton
Fuma is 1 mudra, and it hits 1 target at 500 potency
Raiton is any+Chi, and it is 800 single target
so Raiton replaces Fuma
unless you are somehow in a situation where you don't have the time to use 2 mudra (which is exceedingly rare)
Fuma is only used once on the level 70 ability after you can use Raiton
Hyosho Ranryu (which uses the same combination as hyoton) is only available once every 60s
doton, suiton
situational?
suiton is necessary to cast Trick Attack
a debuff to increase the damage a target take for 15s
Doton is a ground AOE that deals damage over time
You always open with Huton
Huton is a self buff that increase your Weaponskill speed
You always want Huton up
i mean there's no order like "you HAVE to use this and then THIS to get MAX DPS"
Use Huton when needed, use Suiton when Trick is up
You get Weaponskills to reset huton
Raiton is for damage
you are basically asking for Ninja rotation at this point
sure?
So later on you avoid having to redo huton
Only mudra not used is fuma really
If i solo a trial will it count towards the quest im doing or no?
Single target: Suiton (if you have Trick Attack ready), Hyoton / Hyosho Ranryu (if you have Kassatsu ready), Raiton
AOE: Doton (if stuff won't die soon), Katon (with or without Kassatsu)
it will
yes @hollow vine
Rad
do you guys find ninja fun to play
yes
I heard hyoton is kinda useless
oh I'm 70
What's Hyoton again?
hyoton is the bind
Oh yeah, terrible
Hyoton is crap, Hyosho Ranryu is awesome
400 potency is a waste when it's utility is useless
so just raiton and suiton for single target?
Yes
hi! where can i get white scrip gear for crafters ;w;
suiton if it enables a Trick Attack
you need to unlock the eulmore house of splendors, then talk to one of the npcs there
to buy white scrip gear
aren't there a few global abilities in crafting at level 15?
i don't seem to be getting any and i only have a few left
All crafters are the same in terms of abilities
oh, so most of the vids are outdated then
heck
by 15 you should have: basic touch, basic synthesis, rapid synthesis, master's mend, hasty touch, inner quiet, tricks of the trade, observe, waste not, and veneration
like 7 in 10 chance that it is obsolete
so the only benefit of leveling crafters is to make items for the other crafters
you get to make cool stuff for yourself without breaking your wallet
at the same time*
self repair and self melding as well
Only need one job for melding now iirc
yes, the main reason why people level them at the same time is so you can craft what you need when you need it
and saving space on inventory
Is there a way to make a universal set for crafters, and a universal for gatherers
rather than having 13 different sets
most crafting/gathering gear is not class specific
only the scrip gears are
even then that's not entirely true
and a few crafted stuff at lvl 50
What place do I go to get a Dragon minion at?
which one
which Dragon minion?
I told them that MSQ gives one
There’s multipul Dragon minions?!
for ease you should save them as gearset
if you mean midgardsormr you get it from msq
even when the armor/accessories are shared
Um the blue on?
Fafnir?
Ye
Oh that's a cute one
Midgardsormr minion I believe comes from the extreme version
It's from Eureka Anemos, it's pretty cheap on MB as well
no, midgardsormr is msq
||Middy EX doesn't exist||
there is no EX Midgardsormr
Neat
lul
How do I get Fafnir minion?
Not Omega?
Savage is not EX
Or where do I get it
It's from Eureka Anemos, it's pretty cheap on MB as well
@buoyant monolith
Check market board for "Wind-Up Fafnir"
how cheap is it?
dunno, check Marketboard
Again trial so I have no access to the market board
Ahh
not at home reeee
then you can't get it atm
Can't get it in trial unless someone trades it to you
if you are in trial
then expect MOST of the cool stuff to be inaccesible
you can't trade with Trial
i think
Oooof
I don't think you can trade in trial though
you can't trade on trial
Trial is meant for a taste of the low level gameplay
tough luck
Ok lol
30k hmm that means 30000 gill right?
Yea
Damn why must I do money farming XD
30k is pretty cheap
if you can do weekly challenge log
you should be able to get 30k in no time
I'd say don't worry about it for now
i can say that you will fall in love with something else in no time, this game has too many cool shit
What level do I have to be to unlock the challenge log?
Level 15 in the story
Around the time you unlock sastasha, the first dungeon
I’m almost ther, I’m lv 9 rn
do i have to finish shb in order to be able to actually purchase the white scrip gear?
Don't think there is any way to obtain Fafnir at for you though
or at least get to the point where i attune to eulmore?
Not that I remember. 
There’s Hair Dye in this game?!
Yea, can change haircolor
Might just need attunement to Eulmore if anything, along with the quest that unlocks the Eulmore scrip people
oki
you have to complete the main scenario quest "City of Final Pleasures"
oh
eulmore attunement is quite late in the game though
which iirc is the quest that lets you attune to the aetheryte
Holy shit this game is making my interest reach to greatest High
if it helps, FFXIV doesn't need you to sub all year round
wait does that mean i don't need to be able to attune?
you can just sub 3-4 months then take a break and come back whenever
The msq i said is the one that you need to do to be able to unlock eulmore's house of splendors
Does it switches me back to the trial if my subscription ends?
no
no
Ooof
you would have to renew your sub after taht
if you want to save time/money before you start a full on subscription
you can level everything to 35
and complete everything before level 35
Ah
to save even more time, you can wait a lil bit for 5.3 update
which will trim some of the longer part of ARR (level 1-50 MSQ)
not all, just some
Ooh
btw, if you get Starter Edition (just ARR), you get 30 days subscription
Complete Edition is Starter + Shadowbringers, which also give you the 30 days because Starter is in there
I got the 30 day sub but I did not activate it yet
complete edition is everything
Shadowbringer itself contain all previous expansions too
that's how Complete Edition has everything
you mean you bought the game but didn't register it?
if you want to save time, yeah, just keep going with Trial until you are ready
ew steam
heck :c
so he did register then
How do I make this hotbar visable?
take note that the 5.3 will clean up the level 50 section of the ARR stuff
it probably wont affect lvl 35-49 story
HUD Layout
find the hotbar
set Visible
Is that the norvandt script appraiser?
yes
Have to do the quest in eulmore
ye
got it, thanks!
Smthg smthg boutique
np
Well
The entire line of them
One before that is go west, crafter or smthg
And forgot the first quests name
Mor dhona, idyl, eulmore
Question regarding free login campaign. My account only has the base game bought from initial launch, does the 8 days include all expansions?
Ah k thanks.
Is dragoon high ping friendly? looking to restart, since im back after a long break and all i had was a 51 ninja
Does retainer gear affect exp from quick ventures?
Wrong place m b
quick venture is best per hour exp source right?
is dark matter hard to find?
should be
repairing equipment is expensive if this is rare
Only inasmuch as higher retainer ilevel allows them to take on higher level ventures
Dark matter is sold by merchants
yea i found it, thank you
Make it a habit to hit the repair npc any time you’re in town
it's relatively cheap
I'm at level 33, how long will I take to get to level 60 and unlock Dancer?
Depends on what you’re doing to level
are you in Preferred World?
what is perception?
Don't think so, I'm in Brynhildr
the chance you get of getting a hq

so it's better than control?
crafting
then perception is useless
Crafting, Control, CP for crafting
that makes more sense
Gathering, Perception, GP for gathering
@hasty spade if you do MSQ and your daily roulette, you should be able to hit lvl 60 in maybe around 1-2 weeks
casually playing
OK!
for your daily roulette, leveling, alliance, and MSQ roulette give more exp
trial roulette gives okay exp
For now I'll do MSQ so I can get a Vial to switch to Viera.
I can't make a male Viera so I'll go with androgyny
at level 33, you will only have leveling, you will get MSQ once you done that 2 dungeon
alliance roulette is worth the time investment to unlock, you just need to do the crystal tower alliance raid quest line
just doing these 3 roulette at lvl 50+ should yield around 1.5-2 level for 2 hours
Oh I mean just doing the MSQ
Every time I try to queue up for Thok ast thok, it queues me in Hullbreaker isle instead?
did you remove Hullbreaker Isle from your selection?
You have it selected still
you can queue for 5 contents at the same time
No, I didn’t click anything at all
It’s on Cooldown at the moment, do I still take?
It says 0/5 selected if that’s what you mean
Ah, damn
Hullbreaker and Thok ast thok
Is it possible to access duty finder away from the entrance thing?
yes
like from another area?
Yes
once you register the duty from the entrance
you will be able to see it in your Duty Finder
great, thank you!
regarding the 0/5 thingy
take note that queueing for Roulette will make it 1/1
so you can't queue a roulette + a normal dungeon at the same time
ok
how does it look in the tp menu when u can tp to a friends estate?
it's not in the tp menu
How hard is it to make an androgynous Viera?
her voice would still give it away
There are some fairly androgynous female voice choices
But appearance wise, probably Lalafell or Duskwright Elezen would be the easiest to pull off an androgynous look with
I just wanna play a Viera
then play a viera
Oh
Yeah. That’s tied to a specific hairstyle
OK, good.
change pose
/cpose
You have different poses, so cycle through them to find one you like I suppose
ty!
You can also have it automatically cycle in settings
I guess I'll test with a Retainer
how do i optain the Hard Leather Subligar?
also, how can I change a grand company?
@buoyant monolith you can buy it or obtain it as Leve quest reward
how much is it in Via shop or which shop to get it, is it in the main town or the next one?
um the one you start off your First Adventure in
Gridania, Limsa, or Uldah?
Uldah
oh thats not to bad
um the one you start off your First Adventure in
@buoyant monolith players have different starting cities depending on what class they pick
i picked Gladiator
uldah is the starter city for thamaturge, pugilist, gladiator
tahts why i asked
hey, are there any good leveling suggestion for 50-60 or is it just run roulette over and over till my brain melts
i assume you have done your MSQ, Haru?
ty lchronos for your acceptance
!faq altlvlguide
btw, don't do roulette over and over again, they are next to useless after you get your daily bonus exp from them
the Adventure In Need bonus from the roulette is chum change, don't do roulette for those alone
yup, I am past MSQ and am into sotrmblood but wanted to get out of DPS for a bit cause I hate the queue times
refer to the guide
No
for tank/healer, it is daily roulette -> highest level dungeon (aside from 50/60/70)
They're just single bosses
^
erm... hai... sorry to pop in randomly... but i'm new! to both this discord and to FF14. I could really use some friends in game and out but i was not sure where to post, so here I am! Im lv 33 tank XD and i need help learning how to dungeon properly!
That has mechanics
but there are more mechanics and phases
@marsh elk welcome!
dungeon bosses usually has 2-3 mechanics and at most 2 phases
I’ll check YouTube then
You dont need to for normal/hard modes
let them do their homework if they want to
not everyone can absorb knowledge on the go
Some like blind
@marsh elk I have a newbie friendly guild
Crystal tower, Void Ark, Ivalice, YorHa
It would be super convenient to find an active guild.
we're active and can help
HRmm alright I need to unlock those
I can inv you after I finish this dungeon if you want
@marsh elk , regarding tanking, it is fairly straight forward in this game. the biggest first time tank tips i can give are
A don't save your defensive cooldown, if it is on 30s or 60s, then just use it. dont use ALL of them in one go, cycle them around, so you have something on at all time
B don't use your defensive cooldown only when you are low in health, -20% damage doesn't mean much when you have 100HP left
Sure
is the Light Steel Subligar in the same spot as the Hard Leather Subligar?
Also use your aoe skills with multiple targets! I see way too many new tanks trying to single target each mob
I have been trying to learn how to do multiple pulls
Light Steel Subligar is only crafted or bought off the marketboard.
ooof
the cutoff point for AOE skill is usually 3 enemies. so if your AOE can hit 3 or more enemies, then you are doing more total damage
But I think I'm too weak yet. Lol
you're not
crafting it sholdent be hard
keep your gear somewhat up to date
how much Light Steel do i need to craft it?
2 Light Steel Plates.
not to bad at all
1*
neat
I basically update when I level up a couple rimes
Can I repair equipments?
cool
yes
you can get NPC to do it, if you want to repair yourself, then you need to level up crafting classes
Mender NPCs are marked with a hammer on the map.
some merchant NPC will repair gear as well
thanks
@marsh elk what's your name and where u at
btw, repair cost with NPC scale with how much they need to repair
you don't really need to wait for gear to drop to 20 percent for optimal repair cost
It is my name here and I'm fighting sandworms...
so thanalan?
how much Light steel do Galerus need to craft?
Can I visit Primal if I'm on Chaos?
no
no
it is World Visit
not data center Visit
they are probably not gonna do Data Center visit
did any one get my question?
Any good worlds ro visit on Chaos, Im currently on Twintania
I just answered it
Your answer is in the link I posted @buoyant monolith
@warped nest got it, ty
@marsh elk I sent you an invite
Ok
Also how am I doing lv 27 quests when I'm lv 32
the MSQ level is not affected by your character level
Because MSQ level does not equal character level
Neku, are you on Preferred World?
oh, my bad, thanks Kael
new worlds?
yeah, newly created worlds. Which there are none, currently
oof okay thanks! T v T
btw, don't overlevel your character so you will have an easier time on MSQ
it doesn't work that way
being slightly ahead is fine
is there a way to disable the horn sound when summoning a mount, or the whistle, or w/e else it may be
grinding level so you are 15 level ahead is not
1 mil free? Shame, i was forced to make on twintania cause new worlds were overpopulated
as I said, there are no new worlds
There haven’t been any new worlds since... just before Shadowbringers launched? When they reshuffled the data centers?
how much Light steel do Galerus need to craft?
lmao
i feel that the question is not what they meant to ask
Lousioux was the last new world which is created like shortly after stormblood launch
Was it really that long ago?
comeo n i really want to craft that armor...
er not after sb launch
light steel galerus needs 1x light steel plate @buoyant monolith
it was sometime before shb launch, yeah
Is copied factory hard? I'm abtotal newb and I saw guide kind of acary with all the bosses?
thank ya XD
the first time is
It can be difficult before you learn the flow of the fights
applies to most high level content
alliance raid is on roughly the same difficulty as trials
I know, I jist dont want to be that person that dies 15btimes lol
@buoyant monolith let me know if you need a hand with any crafting, i'm 80 on all DOH
you can read up on it
If you are, you won’t be the only one @forest lark
but i can assure you
you won't have time to recall what you read
just play and learn
Guaranteed other people will die just as much
just play and learn, and try not to repeat mistakes
that's how everyone does it
nobody did it perfectly the first time
There are ao many mechanics Im not sure reading it woild do me amy good there is just too many to remember all
Is there a way to bind an extra hotbar top L1 so i don't have to change cross hotbars?
it's whatever if you die 15 times
Hows the rng for glamour btw?
There are actually only maybe 5 or 6 unique mechanics per fight. They just get combined in interesting ways as the fights progress
can the bard song guage be set to hidden when outside battle?
@crimson wind I make good use of Hold Crossbar and WXHB so I only have to use those and a single crossbar.
there are ways to get extra hotbar, but none of them are doable with your L1
What's hold crossbar and WXHB
Google it
!faq controller
too much to type down
easier to show
tldr: you uses different combination of your R2/L2 to pull up other crosshotbar quickly without leaving your Crosshotbar 1
most of them, yes
Yea
Hold = Holding R2>L2 or L2>R2 for two halves of a hotbar side.
WXHB = Double-tapping R2 or L2 for either a half of a hotbar side or a whole hotbar side.
only Shadowbringers dungeons can't
^
Those disjointed crossbars above the main one is the WXHB
and the second picture shows what my Hold directs to.
the higher your perception, the more likely it is to get a HQ item, right?
im lvl80 btn now where can i get the gear for lvl80
you need a minimum perception for some nodes to NOT be locked down at 0 percent
then yeah, it will cap at 15 percent
I'd recommend the facet gear for 80 BTN, you can craft it if your level is high enough
right, so you have to get well above the minimum to hit cap
Somewhat
You generally hit it, or get very close if you keep gear up to date
Especially with HQ
high perception is also good for certain skills that raise HQ chance
If you don't see yourself doing starred/endgame mining/botanist then all you really need is just the i430 stuff
I think the gear vendor in the crystarium has it
if not it should be cheap on the marketboard
gotcha
i'm just leveling up and leveling my crafting and gathering while in dutyfinder ques

sometimes you will see the Perception Locking requirement
to run dungeons unsynced you just activate undersized party and it won't matchmake you?
Exactly
Location Effect sometimes give your Bonus HQ, extra yield, or Lock your HQ chance to 0 if you don't meet a certain Perception
it is more frequent on more difficult items
for normal nodes, like what you are doing now
you will see bonuses
bonus hq, bonus gathering chance, extra yield
is there a way to disable the sound when i get on my mount?
not sure
it's getting kinda annoying hearing a bwuuuuuuuuuuuuuur everytime i finish a node to and then get on my mount
i love my fat kitty mount but the horn is too much
are dark knight or gunbreaker any fun? they both look out and im getting a bit bored of dragoon at level 43
look cool*
can only turn the mount music off
you can't get them yet
i kno not yet, just for the near future
gunbreaker is quite enjoyable and easy to pick up for new players
dark knight has very cool animations and vfx
I personally don't like GNB due to having so many buttons and basically a soft requirement to double-weave for good damage, but DRK is very fun with their various resources.
Gunbreaker plays like a DPS, so I've heard
all of them kinda do
yes
Yea
yes
how many colors can the Hard Leather or Light Steel can be?
dark knight visual effect revolves around using dark energy for defensive and offensive
can i remove ||ifrit|| from my roulette? it gives literally no xp
no
that sounds real fun
but it take less time
so you can move along and do other stuff after you have done Ifrit in the leveling roulette
btw
how exactly do i level up one of my other classes when that time comes? is it a matter of doing levequests or duties or something?
!faq altlvlguide
okay ||ifrit|| gives 500xp
tldr:
- do FATEs and hunting log to get from 1-15
- from 15-71: roulette, highest level dungeon (but not 50/60/70 cuz they give crap), then deep dungeon (refer to guide) if roulette/dungeon have significantly worse queue time
- 71-80: roulette, highest level dungeon
why is it in the roulette
500 bonus?
It's 4-player content
Just like any other leveling duty, it's to help new players through the story.
what do you get from the bonus?
thats as much as one mob
this greg guy at gold saucer
So I assume it's technically fine in the leveling roulettes
how does one get to gold saucer?
Complete the quest "It Could Happen To You" near the Ul'Dah aetheryte
after level 15 in the story, when it takes you to all 3 city-states
im 43 rn
If you mean Gilgamesh they're technically not at the gold saucer.
the food person
is it because i've already received my reward from the duty roulette, so i'm not getting any xp?
who sells exp stuff
because i got that twice in a row and it might be the biggest waste of time
Too many Gregs
yeah...
i've seen yet
it is daily bonus
Ah, they're right near where you enter, at x5, y7
so there's no point in doing the roulette if i've gotten it
perfect thanks friendo
please don't grind roulette
or i'm playing the in need
btw just curious
not even for the Adventure in Need
Yes, it's daily, so do it only once a day
does the gold saucer have any of the minigames from ff7?
Adventure in Need bonus is chum change
Chocobo Racing
FUN
roulette is once a day
does it scale the xp, rather, is my question
no
No
no
if you go too low, then the exp yield is no longer worth the time investment
do your highest level dungeon
alright
example number (these dungeons might not exist, just using the numbers): if you are level 26, and there are level 21, 23, and 25 dungeon, then 25 is your best choice, 23 is a okay alternative if you somehow hated level 25, 21 is no-no
you should always try to go highest level, but 2nd highest is still ok
kk
don't grind level 50/60/70 dungeons either, they were the endgame dungeon at their respective expansions
so they give crap exp
if you are level 60 exactly, you would want to do level 59 dungeon
Is there a way to store items away?
!faq retainer
What is a retainer?
A retainer is a private NPC that will act as a personal bank for the player, holding up to 175 different items, that can be summoned to any of the Summoning Bells around the world. Retainers also act as your means to sell on the Market Board.
How to unlock a retainer
First, you must complete the quest The Scions of the Seventh Dawn then go to speak to any of the Retainer Vocates located in the market district of any of the major cities.
What are Retainer Ventures?
Ventures are the means to send out your retainers on missions to bring back items for you and can be unlocked by completing the quest 'An Ill-conceived Venture' (Ul’Dahn), (Gridania), (Limsa Lominsa)
is mining/gathering your materials later on for hq stuff worth the time investment over buying them for gil?
do you have more gil or more time?
neither
pick one
Where do i Find Light Steel Plates?
Retainer Venture will do, know any one of them?
Quick question, I have been saving my crafted tools for when I leave F2P but IDK if its worth the clutter
garlandtools said it is the 18 hours XIII exploration
hah XIII
unless they're HQ tools, you can just craft them again
lvl 50 Field/Highland/Waterside Exploration XIII
ye, it was more for selling for gil on the market
but doubt anyone needs these shit level tools
Can Reguler Shops sell Crafting items?
@warped nest I havent bonded to them, just been upping my hand skills
Only low level stuff for the most part
which means crafting things I dont use
None sell the light steel plate
you can check sales history to see if it is a popular item, MacGuffin
aight
if it isn't, just sell to NPC for some gils
Can Hard Leather can be bought in via Shop?
I think some vendors sell hard leather
but may as well buy beast hide from the leather guild
use Garlandtools to search
and just craft em
the 3 percent exp food is what i want to get, right?
How do I run? xdxd
cheapest should be grapes
got it tyty
@leaden ginkgo use the sprint action
by the way
thats pressing what key?
i have not touched my hunt log, is it worth?
assign it from your General action to a hotbar
then it can be whatever key you want it to be
It’s good for the low levels
gotcha ty
grape is like 10 gil
also, any food works @cold crescent . but if you start culinary you will end up with way too much
you wont be grinding crafts the entire way, you'll gain some space later
thats good, my inventory RN is almost 100% full with crafted gear and mats
How do I get the Red Panda minion
is there any way to proc trick attack on bosses at level 23? they always reveal me from hide
its also a possible drop from bronze potd sacks
Anything 51+ is locked behind ishgard
just ignore trick attack until you get suiton @keen fable
well shit
Besides the level 60 jobs
Cuz I'm not at Ishgard for another 100 MSQs
The Aery is also a part of MSQ
you could always check the marketboard
I just hit Post ARR 
given that its from bronze sacks as well, it might be cheap
what does suiton do?
gives you hidden
suiton allows you do use trick attack without hiding
it resets mudras
!action Hide
Blend in with your surroundings, making it impossible for most enemies to detect you, but reducing movement speed by 50%. Has no effect on enemies 10 levels higher than your own, or certain enemies with special sight. Additional Effect: Restores 2 charges to all mudra Cannot be executed while in combat.
Effect ends upon use of any action other than Sprint, or upon reuse of Hide.
shit that'd be op if it could be used in trials
Are the warring triad apart of post Dragonsong or during Dragonsong
during
Right after the last HW 3.0 MSQ
Its after base heavensward so during
I wanna hear "SEPHIROT" screamed into my ears
me too
Also, are the post ARR MSQs as fast as ARR MSQs?
faster
You mean by less of them or faster quests?
I know there's only 100
so you can just do them one after another
is there no fall kill ?
lmao i just fell from the top of observatorium and got only 1 hp
i got a small heart attack
okay lol
Unless you're in combat
Unless you have aggro somewhere
Then you can die to fall damage
i see
But where you would die from fall damage you won't have aggro
you can aggro an enemy and then jump off a cliff
But why would you do that 
running
You can also aggro something as you land.
the one two three combo for nin is spinning, gust, aeolian right?
yes
is that something that is consistently used, or are mudras more of a priority
ninjutsu has cool down
i see
no u
what's the point of carpentry?
the only unique things it appears to make are fishing rods and bows
all the crafts craft a mix of class weapons/tools/armors

weavers make weapons?
no
Iron ore says that it's near horizon, however, when surveying, i'm only finding rocky outcrops
Do I have to unequip my hammer?
did you click the rocky outcrops?
hit yellow nodes for mining
ye i know, but ever since equipping the hammer i can't find yellow nodes
might just be in the wrong area
those early level nodes are very condensed, should be easy to find
alright, i'll keep searching
iron ore should be around copperbell mines entrance
kay
ah yep
thank you
is crafted gear while leveling generally better or worse than dungeon gear?
assuming HQ crafts, ofc
Theyre equal to dungeon gear
ah okay, so worth doing then
you mean leveling your dps class?
pardon?
you asked if crafted gear is better or worse but dont craft or buy any gear for leveling
why?
main story will give you gear sets
Crafted can be expensive and leveling you replac3 gear very often. And
gives gear yea.
well, i'm leveling two jobs, and all of my doh/dol classes too
so i'm not spending any gil to make anything
yea i guess you can craft some of the doh/dol stuff but i dont recommend crafting any dow gear
i'm crafting the dow gear because dungeon gear is inconsistent at best
costs nothing to make, levels my doh classes, and i can keep both jobs up to par on gear
ok, however you like to do it
where do I spend poetics?
As long aa you aint buying it from MB, also make sure your crafted is 
Just downloade Advanced combat tracker
Do I install the parsing plugin?
Will I be able to create Lalafel Steak
when my culinarian is high enough?
lalafels are not food
then why do they look so tasty
So i just unlocked scripts and all that, how do they work with collectibility?
the quality bar becomes your collectability bar
And there is a minimum collectability required to turn in the item
with a max collectability for max rewards
You need to meet a certain collect. Gate in order to turn stuff in
scrip window will tell you min an dmax
what can we get from script ?
gear, mats, materia
oh nice !
Gear, crafting materials, and sometimes potions
also depends if it's the crafting and gathering script
@flat summit red mage is easier to pick up and play, black mage requires practice and knowing how certain fights go to maximize casts
black mage gets many tools to move later
BLM does have ways to migitate this with stuff like Triplecast and Xenoglossy
and slide-casting is something you should learn to pick up anyways
Oh and they have a move which effectively allows you to teleport to a party member's side but that requires coordination
!action Triplecast
!action Xenoglossy
!action aetherial manipulation
!action between the lines
lol no
this is under the assumption you move to a party member who isn't standing in stupid
And still within range
and there's only one attack
yes
