so whats the best thing to buy with scrips?
depends on what you need
if you can gear up with scrip gear its not bad
if you have access to lvl70 items
cause i just unlocked it and i have no clue
What do I have to do to unlock dancer?
you can grab teh skysteel relics crafting items
Level to 60
!faq shbjobs
Shadowbringers Expansion Jobs: Gunbreaker (Tank) and Dancer (Ranged DPS). These jobs start at level 60 and require ownership of the Shadowbringers Expansion and a disciple of war or magic job at level 60.
Job Unlock Locations:
Gunbreaker - Gods' Quiver Bow at New Gridania (11,11), quest name is "The Makings of a Gunbreaker".
Dancer - Eager Lominsan at Limsa Lominsa Lower Decks (9,12), quest name is "Shall We Dance".
be lvl 60 and own shadowbringers @dry tree
Thats ot
oh cool
gunbreaker is not op
no
No
they're in demand
Double rewards
and you get double rewards/xp
Which stacks with HQ bonus
ye
#archived-lore-spoilers if you want to know more about gunbreakers
Always HQ stars
ty
what does the extra donation do after i have completed doman enclave ?
its just free money
so i should buy those with my scrips ?
Do you buy the materials with scrips.
idk i just unlocked scrips
You still have to craft like 50 collectables before you get the tools.
i mainly wanna sell the mats tbh
sorry what do you mean free money?
i'm still only 55 botanist/miner
They buy your stuff in the enclave at a higher buying price compared to other vendors.
So you get "free money"
Especially if you have all those allagan pieces thingy.
At level 55 gatherer you cannot gather or use scrips for any of those items
Whose only purpose is to be sold to vendors.
iirc
well i'm getting yellow scrips and idk what to do with them other than lvl 58 gear
ic, thanks
Focus on leveling and buying gear
Buy master recipe books maybe?
^^^^^
okay, so gear then master books
Level 60 ones are useful for crafters, or get the regional folklore

Is there a specific world in aether that is recommended for new players
oh ok thanks if its full should I just wait then or do they mostly stay full
It's aether dead hours, and they aren't congested, so keep trying I guess
ok thanks
its adamantoise or siren you pick @bright briar
thank you
can you trade totem for hades mount yet?
should i do crystal tower quests or progress through msq... is crystal tower good for anything?
its story relevant later
and will become mandatory in 5.3
how important is it for me to level a crafting profession you guys? i can't really afford a sub so wanted to quickly (not too quickly don't worry!) get to max level and THEN worry about crafting, but will that screw me over?
But crafting is useful, so I say look into it if interested
What will happen if I reach 35 on the Trial?
Level caps
Can't get any exp on that job from then on
You can still swap jobs though
Hu neat
Quite the expansive trial, so have fun, explore and enjoy the base game jobs
you stop levelling that particular class
Yep
thats it you can keep playing as much as you want
Lv 10
that said you also can't go past the lvl35 msq
naturally
Eh donโt mind it lol
On FFXIV companion mobile app, will it still work for the Trial or I need the Subscription to use it
i'm fairly certain a registered/active service account is required to use the companion app
at best you can use the app for up to an additional 30days after a sub has expired
I see
should be fine
I mean... there's no reason they wouldn't look into it
they don't know that you're friends
thats whatever to be honest
oh, that's nothing
Should be fine
1mil is nothing
I Have a few mil, but I often give people stuff worth a few mill rather than give it to them hehe
Anyway, yea it's fine
Save it
RMT deals in much larger amounts
You will get lots of gil while leveling and you will also learn what is worth spending on as you learn the game
Only suggestion would be meals or something

Anyway
honestly, dont buy the weapons straight off the mb. Ask around for crafters since they might be able to make it for cheap
yeah lol
idk how she gets her money tbh
Anywayyyy
I think this conversation is less #questions-and-help and now #general-discussion
so take it there, please
no
No
Nope
Technically you can have 2 wives whos ring teleports them to you, but you have to be the one to discard your ring I believe
And your ring will only teleport you to the new one
People do often marry just for glam/mount
yeah
for DoH Precise Touch appears randomly right? Are there any skills that can 100% trigger it?
no, there's no way to force a good/excellent proc
No, but a trait increases the chance
Its not really apply, you and your partner both grab the item from mogstation and meet up in front of the npc, which gives you a small questchain of praying before the gods and then giving you the option to pick a timeslot
what does that mean? like Rapid Synthesis? ( the one that increase progres by 500% success rate 50%)
You can only use precise touch when the material condition is "good" or higher
this trait increases the chances
A trait you get via job quests increase the chance ^
but there's no way to force a good/excellent
aw i see, are there any guides to how to craft? As in the skill rotations, Im at level72 im still not quite sure how to get my collectability as high as possible
can look at the pins in #doh-dol-lounge
there's a restoration guide with macros for various leveling ranges
can use that to build off of and use teamcraft to figure out rotations
okay thanks
how do i make a macro that just automatically sends a message when i revive someone
like how healers do
System menu - User Macros is where you go to make macros
as example
i know where to go i just didn't know how they worked
what's the /ac and the /p?
the skill?
ah
if you also want the macro to have the icon of the raise spell
do /micon "action" as the last line
Im hella new and was wondering if level skip is for level 70 only or if I can buy a skip to 50 and play the story from there
i don't have to anything special with the raise skill? just leave it as it is?
There's a job boost to 70, and a few different story skips
You want to use either <t> (for target) or <mo> (for mouseover)
If you get just a story skip, you'll have to level up on your own before you can start doing more story
If I get the job boost to 70 will it skip the story as well or I can get that then buy a ARR skip
so /ac "Raise" <t> or /ac "Raise" <mo>
In any case, most people strongly discourage you from getting any kind of skip. It's better to play the game from scratch if you've never played it before
job boost only levels you
its worth to play ARR story so you know the torment
it does not complete the msq for you, so you would need to buy the msq skp as well
I'd say getting a level boost is fine if you've already leveled one job to 70 by hand
Anyone have a good crafting macro generating site other thsn FFIV Crafting Optimizer? Its just giving me macros that fail
thats a really old one. only really works for pre-50 crafts
you can try the rotations list in teamcraft
the machine learning macro generator doesn't account for useful skills you should definitely try teamcraft instead and fiddle with the simulator
How many quests are between the credits of ARR and HW? I've been doing em all day and still haven't gotten there.
100
Well maybe I'll get it next time
what was the last trial/dungeon you did?
The King Cat guy
king moogle mog?
Yeah
you're basically starting the half way point
if I press my macro too fast does it just not register??
I had to do it twice for some reason
macros do not queue
I've also unlocked Hard mode Rock Titan guy
so if a command fails for any reason it wont go through
no
It's prolly good if I learn names I think
I used swiftcast and then raise immediately after and it put the text in the chat but didn't raise
I had to do it again
yes, you are now realizing why macros are not recommended
you can't press swiftcast and raise at the same time
because they're fiddly
you need a <wait.1> minimum
Well, theyre good for what im doiung.
ew
crafting macros are fine
and not what i'm talking about
do i unlock the dungeons in ShB through MSQ or do i have to go out of my way to find them one by one
MSQ
ty
i dont quite understand, so i completed Doman enclave, who do i sell my things to to get my 200% bonus?
basically, if you're going to make a raise macro it should look something like this. that way it goes off
wow
@cunning palm you need to unlock the Doman Enclave restoration
oh you did
well you need to wait for them to restock on gil
you can only get 40000 of 200% vendor price selling
but who do i sell my items to though?
the donation basket
so basically the term is ''donation'' but actually i am getting my money back?
i see thanks!
is it a big loss to make a character on a server other then siren or adamantoise as a new player
no
its not the end of the world, no
oh ok thanks
I was hunting for Meteorite for gatherer's and I made sure I used Truth of Mountains to hunt for unspoiled node and I used the app to detect when it should I even heard the notification on my phone
but the unspoiled node doesn't seem to appear
Did they change or reduce the amount of skills you have in PvP? I went back for the first time in a year and several of my hot bar moves were ? Icons that said they were not in pvp
for some odd reason anybody have any answers to that maybe?
How do you continue with Palace of the Dead? I beat floor 100 and now it says "Cannot continue with this data. Dungeon is cleared"
There's 200 floors, right?
@broken pasture yes, pvp actions have been changed. use /pvpprofile or click on the character menu button > pvp profile to find them
@leaden ginkgo floor 101+ are challenge floors, they aren't intended to be done for leveling. If you want to do those floors, you need to be in a fixed party and not have any wipes starting from floor 51
None of my unspoiled nodes are popping up for me even though I'm using Truth of Mountains and I'm also level 80 mining but still can't detect them
even though my time is perfect too cause I'm using said app to detect them
Ah, gotcha! Thank you.
@solar shore did you buy and use Tome of Geological Folklore - Abalathia's Spine?
@twilit arch No I did not
because its not a timed node that is naturally unlocked via levels
It is a timed node
Yes that is locked behind the tome
it can still be in Tome of Geological Folklore righT?
ah
good to know
that takes a long time to a recieve?
the Folklore?
you need to purchase 5xRowena's Token (Blue Gatherers' Scrip) with yellow scrips
is Handking's gear set good enough for ishgard 70-80?
yeah handking should be fine for the most part, might need food in the later levesl @cunning palm
Iโm a new player will I get smited for being bad ๐๐๐
no
just do your best, and if you're not sure about something in a dungeon, make sure to ask your party about it or you can come ask here

this rotation is assuming you can finish the item crafting in 3 Careful Synthesis right?
ye
Thanks yoo. An odd question though, although Iโve been playing for like 4 days already, Iโm just now trying to get a recruitment code, any point in it? Aside from the EXP Circlet I saw that you could get rewards but Iโm still on the free 1 month so would it cancel out?
During the free month is actually the only time you can put in someone's recruitment code
Would r/Ffxivraf be the best place to get a code?
u can use mine ๐
sure ๐ณ
sweet
Is it possible to hire a Viera retainer? The Hrothgar and Viera races are greyed out for me.
do u have shadowbringers?
that's why
Whatโs the Gunbreaker rotation?
!faq gnbguide
Read that
So guys
Two questions
One, my Arcanist is level 6 right now
What would be the best way to level him up to the level of my BLM, who is level 32?
Secondly
!faq altlvlguide
basically hunting log/fates until you can do dungeons
lvl 50 prob?
then spam highest lvl lvling dungeon/ palace of the dead
and do your roulettes
first summoner dong is 50
^
theres more than 1??
Ah yes
I think all their job gear has a summoner dong though the level 70 one is more like a tiara almost
I am glad to be in a community
In which Summoner Dong is a common phrase
We truly do
Hi, i'm a new player currently lvl60 samurai. What should I do with my silver chocobo feathers ?
you can go to the calamity salvager and pick up gear for other classes
or get some lvl70 gear for your sam
oh i'll do that then, thanks
Alright so
Assuming I don't have stormblood
What is there fore the best way to level
roulettes > highest level dungeon > palace of the dead
unfortunately you wont be able to go past level 60
is there a way to make a ground targeting macro do the thing a set distance away from you
@remote lintel you can do <t> which puts it under your target or <me> which puts it under you
But nothing for set distance
you still need a target with mo
Oh do you
damn
ye
My b
What are adds
additional mobs
shukuchi is ground targeted
uhh i'm not sure if you can shuku to party member, i know you can do it to a mob iirc
So additional groups of monsters
you can click on them but thats basically clicking the floor on top of them

shukuchi macro is going to be funky
it won't let me do it on a mob
easier to just use it normally
you can shuku to targets
i can confirm
But why
/ac "Shukuchi" <t> works too
yup
if you use it to target a mob with a gigantic circle
remember <t> is the exact centre of the circle
that means you are losing alot of range on your shukuchi if you just want to drive closer to hit it
there's no way to make it so that if I'm not targeting someone it automatically switches to ground targeting
smh
you can
how?
/ac"Shukuchi"<t>
/ac "Shukuchi"
it will attempt to do the <t> first
if it fails, it will do the second line
ah
how do i get estiniens weapon to go with the drachen set? the gae bolg?
although im not sure how it will interact once you get the trait that lets you shukuchi twice
gae bolg is ARR relic iirc
so you will have to do the A Relic Reborn questline
I don't think repeating the command over and over in the macro cancels out the delay
or diminishes the delay
it doesnt. it helps ensures it goes through
its mostly for consistency
nothing helps the delay
it didn't go thru either
I guess I'll just deal with it
dont forget you can have multiple buttons for the same skill
1 - shukuchi <t> macro
2 - shukuchi normal
3 - shukuchi <2> macro
for example
Repeating the macro doesn't diminish the delay
I meant that it doesn't ensure that it goes through either
it helps a little bit but thats about it
Yea macros are generally pretty ass imo
damn
I use controller that's why
is it much better to do the starred supply/provisioning missions rather than the normal ones at low levels?
ground targeting on controller for shukuchi sucks
im capped on yellow scrips, whats something good to spend them all on?
master recipe books/folklore books
what do those do?/
chocobo raincoat for gatherer yellow scrips
master recipe books unlock the master recipes for crafters
oOOOH
folklore books unlock some material you cant see otherwise for gatherers
where are you looking?
have you unlocked the eulmore vendors?
its "The Boutique always Wins"
in Eulmore iirc
anyway, you can look at the vendor at Rhalgr's Reach for now
or the vendor at Idyllshire
Is it better to get new gears and weapons by doing all the quests/side quests, or do the shops have better equipment to buy?
sidequests
can sometimes have good equipment but
gives good gear too
you can buy from vendors and replace them with dungeon green gear as you level as well
but vendor gear is pretty poop
im trying to find the quest to find the boutiqe always wins but i cant find it
So because I did my class change to conjurer I can now do other quests to become other classes like Botanist, Leatherworker, Lancer, etc.
Is it better to do these sooner or later? I wana focus on Conjurer but am I missing out on anything by not doing these now? Can I miss the chance?
where is the gae bolg quest acquired?
Anyone mind helping me get my spell from Enkidu?
do most people buy the 180 days of playtime or just buy it each month
whichever you prefer ofc
oh ight thanks
this quest, is says the requirements for this quest is the go west craftsmen
quest but i've already done that, but i cant find this quest??
Anyone.?

Hey guys, is there anywhere I can post like my recruit a friend code to easily get gold feathers?
prob the reddit
i can see some people are looking for party, what does joining party do?
i mean whats the benefit of it
party for what?
idk, ppl are just looking for party in the chat , thats why i wonder what they for
if you see a whole bunch of people in your zone shouting "Looking for Party" there is probably a hunt mark in the area.
Hey everyone, I just unlocked Samurai and I'm coming from the White Mage class. Can anyone tell me what my combos are and how I should be playing it?

According to wiki, things that earn FC Credits are:
Activities include but are not limited to, fighting monsters, gathering high quality resources, crafting high quality items, completing guildleves, Grand Company Leves, recruiting new members, undertaking supply and provisioning missions, and Treasure Hunts
Is there anything it's missing?
not really
you can disregard most of them since expert delivery is the fastest way to gain FC credits
Ohhhh that's interesting
It makes sense, since items can go for thousands a piece but wow
That's not even mentioned at all on the wiki haha
That should be #1 on that list
Console game wiki is not very well maintained
If you look hard, you can even find gears with obsolete stats like Accuracy or Parry
What would you recommend? Gamerescape?
Gamerescape - wiki
Garlandtools - database stuff
Garland bell - time tracking stuff
anything ARR related is not the worst on consolegameswiki but garland tools/gamerescape much better
even teamcraft
I use garlandtools and it's amazing for specific items but cgw is where I go right now for broader information
Console game wiki is maintained manually
on basically everything
I wanted to see what all the things a Free Company is good for, for example so that seems like purely wiki material, right?
They have slip ups
oh god
the content is good but wtf is this site
that waiting on cloudflare
the bloat
they've been dealing with ddosers quite a bit
RIP
is there an easy way to tell if my ff14 account is associated with steam? I think I downlaoded the client through there but I might have registered the account via the regular page...
So i just finished Shadowbringers but now i cant continue the post shb questline since i need iLvl 430, whats a good way to get that since its just the accessories im missing
@whole wasp Thanks! That worked ๐
either buy from MB or do the lvl 80 dungeons
ahh goddamnit
Amaurout, Twinning, Akademia drops ilvl 430 accessories iirc
i hate amaurot all its given me is healer accessories
you can also buy the deepshadow accessories with phanta
like 5 of the 7 things it dropped last time were for healers
deepshadow accessories are definitely better tho
use whatever phanta you've gotten to buy accessories in eulmore is another option
Question for the companion app, how do i use my Kupo Nuts?
yeah ive only got 200ish rn
oo i might do that too
theres a second housing market besides mist, right?
there's one in uldah, gridania and kugane
goblet, lavender beds, shirogane respectively
where are those exactly?
goblet's entrance is western thanalan, lavender beds central shroud, and shirogane is thru kugane
shirogane have to take a ferry from kugane.
!faq housing
first link has the plot prices
I highly doubt that there are any large plots available at present however
500k
is it just that flat rate?
yes
300k for FC apartment but you lose your aparment if you leave the FC
probably have to go thru a ward or two
@crimson wind kupo nuts are the currency used to interact with the market board through the app. Posting an item on market board, adjusting its price, or purchasing an item costs one kupo nut each.
but yes, every housing district has apartments
what's the difference between DoH daily quest of gc and leve?
gc turn ins are once a day
leves are able to be done as many times as you have allowances
GC
thanks
you should be doing gc turn ins, or atleast trying to be doing them, every day
What class you to be to use a War Axe?
BLU is only until lvl 60?
I can't mind if I asked my FC before or on here but is there a faster way to level my chocobo? It's only rank 5 and killing regular mobs is just unrealistically long grind just to rank 6
@buoyant monolith Marauder, which promotes into Warrior. Itโs the gameโs axe class.
But even at 5 healer he's keeping me up during fate boss fights
I see
Doing weeklies but that's not much really
@leaden ginkgo Blue Mage caps are level 60, yes.
where do I get carrots for chocobo
hi everyone! what is a treasure map and how do i get one
Hey does anyone know how to equip blue mage spell icons for macro icons ? Iโve read that you can select /micon โblue mage spellโ blueaction, but it doesnโt work for anything other than water cannon at the moment
i apparently completed the quest in wineport years ago, but i don't remember them at all
What Level do I have to be to be-able to use Jobs?
Okey dokey
and then don't forget to equip your soul crystal!
@solemn delta Chocobo companions can be fed if you have a stable. Feeding your chocobo is still somewhat slow but it is passive and you donโt really need to think about it. Just need a stable and enough feed, like krakka roots.
!faq job
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.
@solemn delta @leaden ginkgo and I can tag you both for this one. Krakka roots can be grown in a garden if your FC has one. The seeds are sold at vendors in each housing ward. But itโs perhaps more time efficient to just buy them from MB.
I have a FC with a stable but I've no idea how to stable and feed him last time I tried it said I needed to know how to breed or something
Bird in Hand is the quest name yes but itโs located in Central Shroud near the Bentbranch Meadows aetheryte.
So I need that before I can stable
Cause I'm gonna be taking a sort of break anyway just logging in for roulettes etc after leveling 3 classes to 80 in 3 weeks bit burnt out lol
So stabling would be cool
Crap not on home world
Lol was red
@mystic yew Treasure maps are found at certain gathering nodes at random. When opened, they give you a small picture of a specific spot on the world map. Once you find that spot, use the Dig command to reveal a treasure chest. Opening the chest will always spawn a few mobs that you must clear before you can unlock the treasure.
How would you rate FSH in terms of usefulness for CLN? Essential/Highly Beneficial/Useful/Complimentary? They're the only two DOH/L I have left and I'm just wondering if I should do them together.
Specific types of treasure maps can subsequently open a portal to a special treasure dungeon. The items that can be found inside those portals usually catch very good prices on market board.
Yeah my FC has a "map night"
Once a week
Everyone brings 3 or so along
Can be rewarding
Individual maps can be but the treasure dungeons can not.
I haven't touched any until I had 2 80s so don't worry just try them out now
And as for FSH and CUL, they share a lot, yeah but it isnโt wholly necessary to level both at the same time.
Thanks. I'm not short on gil so I think I'd just like to power through CLN (for completion's sake) but take FSH slower. So even though together might be a quick answer I think I'd prefer not to if it can be helped.
FSH is pretty chill, yeah. Iโve come to appreciate it a lot after hitting cap. Iโll also say that itโs perhaps the fastest class to level. Havenโt done any math for it but it certainly felt much faster than MIN or BTN. Might just be my own perception.
hmmmmm well, how hard is it to level dol?
which one is the easiest?
i could use the gil haha
Leveling gatherers is incredibly fast these days. With the somewhat recent changes to levequest exp yield and the repurposing of Diadem for Ishgard Restoration, leveling up takes no time at all.
Right so I stabled my chocobo and fed him one of the krakka roots and it says training "in 58" minutes. That mean I'm good to go? Train him 3x a day?
Yeah pretty much. Just throw him more roots when you can and thatโs it.
Nice. Cause my SAM is almost done and I'm working on squadrons too
why does it feel like my squadrons training reset is not the same with the server
isn't it the same?
its not
Squad training sessions I believe are tied to the general GC/scrip timer yeah
it resets with grand company missions
Ohh, thanks

regarding apartments
do you have to pay anything per month to keep one
and also do you have to fight for a spot like with housing
Apartments are permanent. Even if you unsub for years, itโll stay.
so you don't have to fight for a spot then?
Also each housing ward and subdivision has hundreds of apartments available. There no fighting for space.
so it's just a matter of picking an apartment wherever you want
And there's already a lot of them available, so its pretty hard for most servers to run out
can you move your apartment after buying it?
What's the point of the armoire if you are gonna use it for glamour plates ?
Well 6x after reset, some other missions have popped up
the armoire is for specific gear, namely holiday gear and things like veteran rewards @lone violet
But you have to remove it from the armoire if you are going to use it for glamour plates
Oh
@solemn delta once your squadron is rank 2 (lvl20+), should be able to start doing dungeons with them
Hello
Cool thanks I'll keep training em
I'm currently in my first play through and in Coerthas. I'm a bit confused by all the new information dravanians etc ... is there some kind of in game information book on these kinds of things/events ?
a lot of the subject thats touched on during the coerthas arc of ARR is dealt with in the expansion, heavensward
You might get more info by doing side quests in the region
^
But yeah most of the details come from the Heavensward expansion
Eh
Are there any collectables I can farm whilst levelling fishing or does that only come into it at later levels/restoration?
outside of diadem, collectables are going to be 50+
And in Diadem are there level-appropriate ones throughout my "fishing journey"?
with diadem really not being collectables tbh for gathering side
you're pretty much stuck with 3 pools when you're below a certain lvl
53 is when you get cloudfishing and can do the better pools
And I can keep training my chocobo every hour? It's not really a rush tbh I have 2 melee dps 80 now so I don't "need" him healing but nice to have
ya you can
yea training per hour in the chocobo stable.
hi! what's the easiest way to farm for allegory?
:o
If you're in a hunt linkshell/discord, hunt trains are a pretty easy and painless way to cap allegory
:o
but that said, yeah an expert every day for 5 days will cap you
But alliance roulette and msq rouleete give 50 each
do u happen to know and hunt discords ;w;
120 allegory for about 20minutes for a train
No true but like in my friends case he hit 80 last Sunday after reset
@drifting burrow I found this discord link https://discord.gg/S8fKQvh
And still managed to cap
there's also https://discordapp.com/invite/dZTgnpv
2 days you can cap but its boring
Hunts also have the benefit of happening multiple times a day / server
centurio isn't data center specific and has channels for most if not all datacenters
also a good way to stock up on materia
And a waste of potential high exp for other classes any I recommend just doing an expert once a day. (unless your in a rush for a piece)
Hello, i accidentally bought an NA Time Card but i needed an EU one.. I don't know if this is entertained? But can someone help on what to do with this? Thank you in advance.
Ripebear we're referring to the trains. You shouldn't be doing the train on non80 classes anyways
Its not exp waste that way
Its definitively to your advantage to uee the roulette for exp yes
Yeah I haven't done any trains mate was just advising the best way to cap using roulette
Using expert and keeping your others for leveling.
If you are tank/healer, you can offer taking first time player to queue for lvl 80 dungeons, I believe you will get bonus tomestone?
Also consider your weekly e5-8n clears if you do those are 40 allegory as well
Even then, if your preferred roulettes are just a break from the fastest way to level ๐
Definitely more than 40 if you are trying to snipe for certain drops
first time bonus is phanta
Nope
So far I've not had to repeat an E5-8 yet I always get what I roll for
ES5-8 would be very different I presume
Hmm it says I have no chocobo to feed in my inventory so do I have to take him out of stable?
I fed him earlier while in stable weird
feed is for changing colour
No exp bonus?
need to make sure youre selecting train
Sure someone said to feed for extra exp
the exp is given immediately when you train it, not after an hour
the hour is the cooldown between training sessions
Goodness it's no much is it haha
Think that was 2k ๐
I'm 88/100 for weekly log I better get that done that's decent exp

Is there still a limit on the loot for copied factory?
This is clearly a long and attentive process. Even the guys with every class at 80 and doing savage every week aren't level 20 chocobo.
Or am I able to spam it for the coin?
no, the only weekly thing is the clusters
so you can spam it for armour/coins to your hearts content
how do i get orchestration recipes to repair faded copies? i'm a lvl53 alchemist right now
some of them need master recipes
else they are mostly in the lvl 30, lvl 50, lvl 60 normal recipe
Mhm. There's only 3 rolls that are level 70.
i assume you mean, normal lvl 70 recipes
hi guys is there a list what i should buy with tomestones when i am at 2000 with phantasmagoria ?
it was released first
@leaden ginkgo if you don't need phanta for gear, then look at the prices of the crafting materials and buy the best one (Or just buy like 10 of each) and sell em
@twilit arch kk thx will do
So why does it require to have the original Zeta relic in your bags in order to get a Zeta replica of the same type? Or am I missing something?
What is focus targeting for?
What I'm guessing is well, it's to keep track of an enemies health
Is that it though?
Is it used to let your party know who to target? Do they even see it?
focus target lets you keep a particular target's hp/status effects in view
I use Focus targeting as healer all the time so I can see what the boss is casting.
so if for some reason you need to change targets from the boss to an add
you can still keep an eye on what the boss is doing, and casting
Ah ok
You can also use it to keep track of the buffs/debuffs on said enemy while not actually targeting them.
Example of my question. Just recorded it.
So, is getting hard freezes (up to getting kicked to main menu) while riding chocobo fixable, or is it a signal to upgrade my PC?
If you're getting kicked to the menu there should be an error code of some sort.
These freezes are rare on their own, but happen quite often when I'm mounted
what's your hardware?
uhhh. try the benchmark? maybe its the network instead of the computer
I've been telling it a couple of days ago, crappy laptop with gen7 Pentium CPU and Intel HD Graphics GPU
oh
Don't know about HDD though, can't check it
yeah you're definitely being limited by your CPU
you can still try this anyway
It's playable, but the main problem are mounts
Not sure if it's only Chocobo, cause I didn't get any other mount yet to test it out
Is there any point in sheathing and unsheathing
Okiedoke
Does the button that activates sheathe become useful once a battle starts?
no
Aiight ty. Will use it as a macro button then
Anyone about the zeta question?
I'm trying to figure out if I'm just missing something here.
I think to get the zodiac zeta replica you need to turn it into the HW crystal person?
no, thats just one of the requirements
you either need to turn one in or have a zeta on you
its just how zeta works ๐คทโโ๏ธ
Wait, so if I destroy the original for crystals I just have access to the replicas permanently?
yeah you dont need a zeta in your inventory if you've turned it in
since...you kind of cant have it in your inv at that point :d
That's really strange.
The NPC to dismantle it for crystals doesn't mention anything about the replicas.
Hello, returning player here just wondering what the system requirements for the game look like now in terms of storage space? (With all expansions)
hey guys, how are you all
got a question
I came back to the game after 6 months of break, and I kinda want to level my other jobs now
Last time I checked it was around 50-60gb
Hmm a lot less than I thought, thanks!
I know that for tanks and healers, the best way is with leveling roulette and dungeon farm
but what about for dps? I think the queue times are still horrible right? what's the best way to level those?
Mind you, there might me more required due to patches.
Palace of the Dead is good.
Yeah, it may be FF15 that I was thinking of then when I think 150gb haha
Palace of the Dead, Heaven on High, as well as roulettes if you're feeling frisky and need a few gear upgrades along the way.
Can someone explain this to me? https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6pohV6hw8v8&t=99s
In this video I show you to essentially be able to snap back to your focus target easily and quickly using a few button presses on your PS4 controller.
He's manually setting up focus targeting so where is the shortcut in that lol
Palace of the dead ha...........
what is the cross hotbar
so let's say from level 1 to 70..... how many palace of the dead runs do we need? did someone do that math there?
Tag me if you can answer my question
Select Enemy - Context Menu (right click or square), @scenic orbit
Crosshotbar is a hotbar for controller players
Eh noo you don't understand lol
https://comradezoey.neocities.org/deepdungeon.html @leaden ginkgo
You mean tie focus target to something like R3?
Yeah that's what he's supposed to be showing in his video
However he still manually sets up the focus target
The macro is in locking on to nearest whatever
His video is highly liked so I'm just wondering where the confusion is
Yeah, he's wanting to set a hotkey for focus target.
Instead of using the menu to turn it on.
does Palace of the dead take into account the armory bonus?
Armor doesn't matter in Palace of the Dead.
I think the macro is just /focustarget <t>
So... It saves 1 step
What's the <t> for?
Your current target
To focus target your current target
Hey, that one step is a lot when things are getting heated!
It will set your current target as a focus target
it doesn't apply inside, but it does apply to the completion xp iirc @leaden ginkgo
Ok
oh, so it applies where it matters XD
the outside EXP
excellent
shit, so many runs
I fear for my sanity there
Just run roulette and dungeon normally
Then do potd if you feel like it
Unless you need a 70 job like in 3 days before weekly reset
Like what you just told me is really important. Why isn't that in his video lol. People are going on about how much of a godsend he was but he was leaving out the part in the title of the video
When you are so used to doing something
You forgot that people don't know how to do it
Ah ok I was thinking it might be that. Just the fact that he expected people already had macro for focus target
I don't want to wait for like 15 mins just to play a dungeon
Because thats not what the guide was about
Roulette/Dungeon beat potd even with a 10 minutes queue time
The guide was about setting up a macro to easily target your current focus target
I feel that doing this is a bit niche, but whatever float your boat I guess
I generally uses focus target to track my tank
Or another boss if the fight has it
A more useful tech on PS4 would be learning how to do soft targeting
So this is what I already had, which does not focus target. It just locks on to my current target
@warped nest that much better huh?
is it smart to set up macros for all samurai combos or should I just execute them manually
Please don't make combo macro
Macro don't count in decimals
And macro doesn't queue action
English plz :]
Just don't macro GCDs together
GCDs?
Global Cooldowns.
Global Cooldown
The hell?
Yeah I'm lost lmao
Mearaga, is this a joke?
Urgh
I feel like yall might think I'm an end game user or something lol
Mearaaaa
I forgot the don't
Or did I woke up in a reality where you should macro weaponskill
!faq macrogcd
This is a non-global.https://i.imgur.com/MO6YJue.mp4
Oh so you're saying that's another macro I should set up
Grave hawk, we ain't answering you question atm
No
@leaden ginkgo yes, potd is only good if your roulette/dungeon queue is significantly worse
I can't provide an exact cutoff point
Confusing 
generally if queues are 15+ minutes, should probably just do potd
Don't worry about it
But if you can get into a roulette or dungeon in 5-10 mins, then they are better
It'll make sense later
I won't even macro oGCD / Ability
Especially not those "I have one button to do all Ability" macro
What happened to my question gdi lol
Too many people asking questions so easy to get mixed up
Are you following the tutorial?
What tutorial?
Just don't worry about macros
/focustarget <t>
The one you have set up atm is really all you need
No the one you posted I haven't gotten to use yet
Just try /focustarget then
Your original syntax is wrong
Yeah, line 1 very wrong
Anyone
Ok lchronos
Please watch this video
In this video I show you to essentially be able to snap back to your focus target easily and quickly using a few button presses on your PS4 controller.
Watching the video won't correct the syntax of line 1
Do you want a macro that targets your current focus target when you use it?
Or one that makes your current target the focus target
just make the first line /focustarget like was said
Yes but even in the video itself, he manually focus targets. Look at the title of his video. I just want to understand why he's showing how to lock on to current target instead of focus target using macro
I just wanna understand what I'm not getting lol
You do know what is a Focus Target right?
Yes "Focus Target" will pop up on screen with the status of the target
are white scrips only enabled for level 80 crafters/gatherers?
The guide is from 2015
The game cannot Focus Target for you automatically
Its severely out of date
Right Kate
wat
@drifting burrow yup basically
You need to tell it to, either with macro, or with the menu
D:
Cant get it without a lvl 80 char
No
no, you need a crafter/gatherer at 80
Since its a DoH/DoL currency
ah
@warped nest
I'd like to keep that macro there. For locking back on to targets in a snap
That's for my R3 button
I could map the focus target you mentioned to L3
Make sure that you know what R3/L3 do by default
And you are okay with not doing those actions
L3 sheathes and unsheathes
Ahh
Besides when I'm locked on I can't sheathe anyways
So which out of all those macro numbers am I supposed to choose?
Dude in the video said I could only use 98 or 99 for the one I already have
Don't know why lol
Because those are the only 2 options for what you can bind L3/R3 to
Ok so that sounds like I need to use 99 then
It works, tyvm
Now the issue of, how to remove it lmao
Or do people usually not bother with removing it. I can focus a new target but can't remove. Thought using a second time would do that but nah
if you deselect the target and press your stick again, it'll remove focus target
And see how you can disengage
I feel that all this are too much work for what can be done with the context menu (2 clicks)
I'm using a controller
It's not as smooth as mouse and keyboard. In the heat of battle it wouldn't fly so well
Also that worked thx smugf
Well everything is working A ok now. Sorry for the hassle I know it's annoying haha
It's fine
Can you not remap controller buttons?
It's smooth as keyboard and mouse if you just get used to it
Controller user here as well
The only thing I find annoying is placing ground AOE
(not all jobs have them, so even that one is not too bad)
Oh, and typing with PS4 software keyboard
For me it's just party selection. I don't have an issue with ground aoes
Ground aoe?
Yeah aoes you can put on the ground
Yeah
You need to use joystick/camera to move the center point of the aoe before placing it
I'm a white mage so I'll need to do well with that
Have fun
It is not too bad once you practice
Plus you rarely need it to be absolutely perfect
Well I could slap on a analog attachment for increased accuracy
As a WHM since Coil progression, I can say that playing WHM definitely taught me to hate how people play sometimes.
Man I just gotta say. Getting into the mmorpg scene is roughh. So many terms to learn and even when things are being explained. Sooo many more new terms which makes explanations hard to understand too so you need an explanation of the explanation
It's just AAAAAAA

Not sure if I asked this before, but are new glamours released on mog every patch?
no
get studying grave, there will be a test tomorrow 
There isn't really a schedule for them except event items are usually added a year after they were first released
could always check the marketboard
I kinda wish they gave a chance to get them by playing the game before putting them on the mog store and just sell it to people who missed out on it, but that's for another discussion.
I wish there were more on mogstation
most of the items that go straight to mogstore are from CN
or KR
so they're pretty much never going to be earnable in-game
So many ff characters, they couldve madebfortune if they released glamours
The most notable outfits you can earn in the game, like Cloud's outfit, or Squall's.
Id want Serah or terra glamour, butbI doubt theres even slight chance of them releasing such glamours
its most likely something they keep for when they really need to make some revenue
Can you earn High summoner outfit in game? Cause I bought it and onlynrecentlt sawbit atbcalamity salvager at limsa
you cant
no, it was a fanfest reward
Need some help with my squadron. I've sent them out on two training missions but now the missions lower some stats while increasing others.
This is making it so I can't do any of the missions cause I don't meet the requirements
Or can I send them out on the missions if they are just below?
it was in the salvager for those who got these tokens from fanfest iirc
Oh good i was like "did I just buybsomething I couldve easily earned by playing"
@solemn delta you need to find the right balance in the training. you cant boost all the stats.
if you just do it for the exp, select the last training that doesnt increase anything
I'm assuming there general stats will increase with level?
yes
So do the last training mission then regular missions until 20
Then I can start leveling them in dungeons
that last training is intended for when you are happy with the stats balance and now only want to get some exp, however sending them out on actual missions is better to level them iirc
Is neo ishgardian set good starting gear for lvl 80
No. That lets you trade for tidus outfit if your character changes gender from fantasia.
...If you want to pay for it
Well is there any other way to get lvl 80 decent gear vesides paying ishgardian on markets?
