yes
scenic orbit
What is estate teleportation?
rich bay
@scenic orbit,
Teleport to a house of the friend or your own house/appartment/FC house.
You need to be on the home world of the character to be able to teleport to it.
solemn delta
When I send my squadron out on these proper missions I'm assuming the 18 hours is like an in game time thing
And it's the usual hour
scenic orbit
Icic ty
rich bay
Ripebear, it is 18 real hours.
solemn delta
Wtf
warped nest
Didn't we talked about this earlier?
rich bay
Some things are irl hours, like squadron, Elite marks and growing plants.
solemn delta
Yeah. Hmm. 18 hours is ridiculous for a mission... What's that all about lol
warped nest
Special FATEs is on real time too
rich bay
Yup.
solemn delta
And I thought accessing dungeons was gonna be quick and easy lol
rich bay
Not all of them btw Lchronos.
Vedrfolnir Devoteth doesn't have a CD, but is just annoying to spawn.
World boss fates have all an cooldown of 12-36 hours yes.
@solemn delta, if you follow the MSQ and complete 
you will unlock everything quick and easy yes.
twilit arch
they're talking about squadron dungeons
solemn delta
Yeah I've got 3 80s focusing on savage now. Just I read that for leveling to 50 squadrons can be brilliant
twilit arch
eh
solemn delta
I'm not doing potd anymore
blissful matrix
Squadrons help you skip dps queues
twilit arch
brilliant is not what i'd use to describe squadron dungeons, but they can be less mind numbing than potd depending on your point of view
rich bay
Ah, okay.
solemn delta
And I know you can't glitch the squadrons anymore with the attack thing but I read its still better than random queuing and getting terrible team mates
rich bay
Not payed attention. 😅
blissful matrix
best thing about squadrons is
after doing 10 runs with them
you get to do squats
solemn delta
Well it's gonna be a while cause I'll have to wait like a week or two before they are 20 😂
Maybe I should have leveled my GC sooner?
Before I got 3 80s and a 70 lol
zinc orbitBOT
solemn delta
Suppose I'll never feel as stupid as my friend who has multiple 80s and doesn't even know what HoH is
vagrant copper
No need to feel stupid about stuff you couldn't possibly have known
solemn delta
I still laugh at him for grinding 61-70 normally rushing to do dailies then I'm doing 61-70 in a few hours 😂
leaden ginkgo
I only just now did the first 4 parts of my hunting log. At level 48. Trust me, your fine lol
There's so many systems in 14 I'm not surprised many ppl miss a few
scenic orbit
Is it possible to change character name/surname
leaden ginkgo
Like, it's good that there are options of course. But the number of them is far greater then any other MMO afaik
twilit arch
yes, costs money to do so @scenic orbit
scenic orbit
What's it gonna cost me HM
solemn delta
I'm on Light Data center. Has anyone noticed ridiculously long queue times since like.... Yesterday for roulettes?
twilit arch
10$
solemn delta
30m msq!?
scenic orbit
leaden ginkgo
@solemn delta you aren't trying for it in the morning are you? Generally the earlier you attempt it the longer the que. Only thing I can think of outside of you changing your party role for some reason
solemn delta
1pm
leaden ginkgo
Wierd, yeah idk then
solemn delta
And morning is best time usually
leaden ginkgo
Oh wait
vagrant copper
Might want to add languages other than English and allow in-progress dungeons if you haven't
leaden ginkgo
In the US, many of the lockdown periods are ending. Maybe it's just that the work week is starting back up or something? Idk
solemn delta
No most of EU are on full lock down lol
leaden ginkgo
Ah ok yeah if your EU then idk
blissful matrix
if its a specific queue, its because of the specific queue
if its roulette maybe just bad luck
leaden ginkgo
Nah, roullete @blissful matrix
blissful matrix
F
leaden ginkgo
I have to assume there is a reason, I agree it doesn't seem like a coincidence. If it continues for another day or two maybe make a forum post about it and see if they know
solemn delta
Yeah 27m queue at lunch time. While potd etc were all normal
But they are different ofc
leaden ginkgo
That would rule out a server population/server migration issue tho (such as a bunch of ppl moving from one data center or something), so is important info
Basically, it shows whatever problem there is, its affecting the roullete specifically
vagrant copper
Do you have German and French languages allowed?
leaden ginkgo
Doing that would probably help yeah
vagrant copper
No point in limiting your party pool by not selecting the languages
leaden ginkgo
Mostly, I'm curious because even if those things help, they wouldn't explain why they're needed now and not earlier
Mind, personally I don't really have much care about it- I'm nowhere near that datacenter xD. I just like solving stuff like this is all
hot eagle
also yesterday was international workers day in a lot places, so ppl were busy and some are probably hangover today xD
spring lava
what are good places to ask people for raids? i want to do the orbonne monastery, but i had no luck in the dutyfinder (after 180min queue time) and i never get a full party in the partyfinder
solemn delta
That was a pain in the ass for me too
leaden ginkgo
A free company is the biggest probly, which I would join even if you weren't doing raifs
(or at least, some sort of community)
solemn delta
Though I got a party around 11am my time the next day for the 3rd raid in 10 mins
Searching at 2am for orbonne was a huge mistake
spring lava
i searched yesterday between 8 pm and 11 pm. i thought it should'nt be a problem, but here i am
solemn delta
Try searching earlier
I had much more luck 10am-early afternoon weirdly
I don't understand it cause a lot of people you think would be finishing work around late afternoon evening
But in EU morning / lunch time seem to be the best time to search
leaden ginkgo
Well, you did say yourself all of EU is on lockdown @solemn delta :P. And it's not like the majority have work from home
scenic orbit
Why is there a 20 second timer when you want to log out
vagrant copper
You're not in a safe area so the game is making sure you're not doing something weird
Like quitting the game to avoid death
scenic orbit
Ah ok
solemn delta
Oh crap I got quests while I wait on queue lol. 70 drg stuff :o
leaden ginkgo
What are you talking about, everyone has quests. They're everywhere... Of course, only question is do you want to do them? 
solemn delta
It unlocks some VERY important traits and skills this one lol
If you have drg you'll know
leaden ginkgo
Nah I figure lol
proud willow
the 70 job quest will definitely have a solo instance, so you can't do it while queued
leaden ginkgo
I just find it funny the amount of quests we have that the large majority of ppl probably never do
solemn delta
Life of the dragon and nastrond
proud willow
No need to prioritize it, but it is good story
tough wolf
Do buffs continue to run while you're logged out? I had gatherer's grace up before I had lunch, logged out and I feel like it's reduced....
solemn delta
Waiting list #4 should be in a few minutes
proud willow
It slightly ties into the MSQ around level 59
and there is some difference in some level 60 MSQs based on whether you completed Coil or not
leaden ginkgo
I believe they do yeah @tough wolf . Or at least, if I have a 30 min foodbuff when I log out I won't have it when I log back in. Not really sure why they do that, but I assume there's a reason- FFXIV doesn't tend to do the "MMORPG run around" type of thing without good reason in my experience
leaden ginkgo
Yeah, np. Mind, that's just going off of what I've experienced, so could be wrong in some instances
solemn delta
Any DRGs out there tell me what exactly life of the dragon is good for apart from 2 strong OGCDS AoE?
Does it actually strengthen your wheeling thrust and fang and claw
The description is pretty bare
rich bay
@tough wolf,
All buffs and debuffs are removed once you logout, that is by default.
The only buff you keep are the FC buffs (those are tied to FC) and the server buff (Road to 70).
tough wolf
Gatherer's Grace wasn't removed it just reduced in duration.
solemn delta
That's a bit pfff
proud willow
Nastrond has a short cooldown so you get to use it multiple times in the Life of Dragon window
solemn delta
Suppose any oGCDs fit into your single target too though
Stardiver looks like it hits quite hard on one target
It's actually kinda relieving to know that drg doesn't really get complicated lol
edgy gate
drg is the simplest melee class. also the most straightforward of any class
solemn delta
Only thing I won't do is use dragon sight on anyone else lol
crystal bluff
You jump
You hit
Rinse and repeat
solemn delta
OK if doing savage I might slap 5% on someone else during dps wipe mechanic phase
Maybe
edgy gate
just get into the habit of either macroing the eye or manually clicking someone
solemn delta
Oh if I was mouse I would all the time
But meh
Controller party choosing is a pain
frigid pelican
is there any sites or anyone got a idea where to get the 30% exp earrings of shb/sb?
rich bay
@tough wolf
Oh yeah, i forgot. EXP buffs also persist but the time goes on yes.
slate arrow
you can't get the exp earrings
pre-order bonuses and the codes expired after expansion launch
raw solstice
You should absolutely always be using DS on someone else. Macro it if you don't want to select a target manually. It's free damage and an expected thing to do
onyx kiln
how do i get Behemoth Pelt?
solemn delta
But I'm lazy mate
edgy gate
it used to only work if u threw it on someone
solemn delta
Making a macro is effort
raw solstice
You can copy a macro from someone else
solemn delta
Pressing the d pad is effort and takes away from my dps
scenic orbit
DS?
oak ice
Click faster
dusky nest
did we have an FAQ for gathering collectibles?
oak ice
Dragon Sight
edgy gate
i mean if u wanna be casual, 5% aint gonna ruin the raid
raw solstice
I just don't want to condone laziness like this especially when it's trivial
edgy gate
then yeah ur party has the right to be kinda upset that ur being lazy to throw DS on ppl
raw solstice
Even if it ends up on the tank it's better than not using it on anyone
solemn delta
Oh yeah I play SAM in savage haha
scenic orbit
I find navigating through monsters while in battle to be a pain
solemn delta
So I don't need to care about anyone else
edgy gate
i mean i dont see an issue. u just reap what u sow if ur lazy
drifting burrow
is there white scrip accessories?
whole wasp
oh and the swallowskin belt
raw solstice
@onyx kiln from a brief search it seems like there's a behemoth nm in Eureka: Pagos. Or buying from mb, of course
drifting burrow
yea
drifting burrow
also, is there a reason as to why my recommended gear thing keeps telling me to keep on my old gloves even though i have white scrip gear already?
solemn delta
Tbf I've played enough MMO end game before to know you will and can wipe when the boss is literally 1 hit
5% for 20 seconds would make or break that if you didn't apply it to the hardest hitting dps
leaden ginkgo
i loved wiping on a boss in WoW for 30 times before finally getting it when there were only 2 people alive lol
drifting burrow
hmm
edgy gate
you reap what you sow
drifting burrow
should i keep on what's recommended then?
solemn delta
But I'm the kinda lazy raider who will blame the lowest dps rather than take some blame for not giving out a buff 😂😂
drifting burrow
oh wait nvm
solemn delta
Pick it up buddy!! Need moar dps
drifting burrow
is craftsmanship more important than control?
zinc orbitBOT
rich bay
~~@onyx kiln
Behemoth pelts are also rewarded from the World Boss fate He Taketh With His Eyes in Coertha's Central Highlands i believe.~~
raw solstice
They are not
rich bay
Maybe just another reward then.
I remember that i got it before and thought it was from there.
echo tapir
o the fate is only his horns
leaden ginkgo
should i finished the mainquest up untill the fantasia and then just skip it
do i miss out on anything in the 100 quests there so after?
up untill 2.55
u mean u want to story skip as a new player?
yeah
ARR sucks
ngl
ARR sucks?
but you're a new player
i just wanna get to 50 and skip the rest
how do you know?
scenic orbit
I've been watching the cinematics and all for the story as a new player but I forget about it right after watching it
leaden ginkgo
I just completed ARR as a new player
it wasn't bad
cause i already did it on my other account 2 years ago
lament wagon
at least the 2nd half of post-arr is pretty relevant
rich bay
You can buy an MSQ skip Soltie, you do need to grind to 50, but that is easy.
leaden ginkgo
I'm not sure why you're asking your question
yeah i just wanna do it up untill the vial and then skip the patch quests lol
you already completed it on your other account so you won't miss anything
but do i still get the achievements and all?
or any quest rewards that are significant?
marble drift
you should but if you've seen it all before
why not save your cash and just mash escape through all the cutscenes
or...whatever the escape cutscene button on controller it is
leaden ginkgo
its only 9 bucks and it saves like 30 hours lol
wintry chasm
You won't get the fantasia you get for finishing 2.0 if you story skip
marble drift
right but it doesnt level you.
so you'll have to spend at least some of the time leveling.
marble drift
oh you wanna just skip the story after ARR.
rich bay
Or wait until 5.3 😁
marble drift
thats...understandable
rich bay
When they skim the ARR MSQ.
rich bay
End june/begin July yes.
They implied that the original 5.3 release date was around June 16, but got delayed ofc.
@leaden ginkgo STR, because it is a normal melee. (NIN uses DEX)
onyx kiln
if i do all the weekly challanges for Eureka. how long would it on avarage take me to level up to cap there?
mossy current
Many weeks if you go by just challenge log
Do FATEs (NMs) too, get your weapon, farm light, etc
Anemos Cap is 20
Pagos is 35
Pyros is 50
Hydatos is 60
From Pyros on, at certain levels you can do something called reflect farm, which I recommend to check out in the later levels of Pyros
drifting burrow
is there a tier list of dps dmg output?
mossy current

when do roulettes reset?

in games like this, tier lists only matter to those who can actually make it up there
vagrant copper
Is Odin not on the trial roulette or am I just getting unlucky?
raw solstice
Odin is more on par with an ex trial and so is only in mentor roulette, not trials roulette
vagrant copper
Okay then. Might just hold off on that then.
oak ice
He should have that quest when you do Turn 5
forest laurel
alisaie's pledge is after you beat turn 5 iirc
raw solstice
Well, you don't have to clear everything
Just the last fight of each tier
You unlock the whole tier at once
raw solstice
So beat T5 to unlock second coil, T9 to unlock final coil
oak ice
If you're doing them unsynced they give nothing at all
Nothing does unsynced
Oh
Would be piddly EXP either way, so not like it matters 
raw solstice
there's some minor cutscenes along the way, some with none. The story doesn't really pick up a whole lot until T9 and then final coil overall
nova copper
Do conjurers have higher agro? I feel like mobs are being much more hostile than when I’m doing Lancer
oak ice
Regular "sight" aggro works the same for every class
wintry chasm
I'd still do them in order @white sinew
blissful matrix
Any crafting skills locked behind Job quests I need to do? Was planning on skipping them and staying inside the firmament
wintry chasm
While it's true it ramps up at T9 there is still a lot of foreshadowing and stuff prior
Stormblood quests should still give you skills
nimble rain
hi, unlocking and play dark knight mean that I will have to grind them from level 30?
wintry chasm
Yes they start at level 30 but you need to reach Heavensward story to unlock them
nimble rain
dang, that sound tedious
raw solstice
yeah people don't really DF those
wintry chasm
You don't queue for coils using duty finder
Yeah
You'd use party finder for coils
nimble rain
I was planning to switch to DRK once I get to HW
wintry chasm
and most people would do it unsynced
nimble rain
what is the best way to raise my DRK up to lv50 so I can continue HW again?
devout salmon
Dungeons.
marble drift
^
raw solstice
roulettes -> highest level dungeon spam
marble drift
they're instant queue because you're a tank.
slate arrow
almost
forest laurel
not as often as healers but yeah tanks do get quick queues
nimble rain
still feel like it will take 5 to 8 hours to get to 50
devout salmon
Leveling a tank is easy, your biggest issue will be making sure your gear is up to date with the dungeon so you don’t flop over dead.
wintry chasm
highest level leveling dungeon spam so not level 50/60/70/80 dungeons
nimble rain
well I'm playing PLD
wintry chasm
Nah Kobito
nimble rain
so my DRK will use old gear
wintry chasm
Less than that just about because you'd have the armoury bonuys
raw solstice
they're leveling up to 50
so they won't have to worry about being in a situation to farm at level cap like that
is why I didnt' mention it haha
devout salmon
You also get 100% exp if your character has a lower lvl than your other. If you didn’t know.
nimble rain
oh that sound nice
devout salmon
So you get almost 2 lvls per dungeon easy.
marble drift
remember to keep some form of food running while doin dungeons
not for stats, just for xp bonus
I tend to buy a stack of like...raisins
just to much on while leveling
forest laurel
you could be an idiot and go for boiled eggs
or be a king and go for raisins.
marble drift
although im currently working my way through an ocean of orange juice
dat 1 peity man
forest laurel
I got like 999 raisins 
nova copper
Just got my Chocobo Mount. How do I change its color?
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
@nova copper you need access to a chocobo stable first
Either via an apartment, house, or FC house
marble drift
and its very complicated. a series of feeding it specific foods based on what colour you want it to be
slate arrow
and then copious amounts of time, patience, and a small sum of gil
nova copper
How do I go about getting an apartment?
marble drift
but! there is a website that does all the thinking for you
slate arrow
as well as hoping RNG is on your side
forest laurel
go to the housing area in gridania, ul'dah, limsa or kugane.
slate arrow
@nova copper you need to be promoted in your Grand Company first as well as be level 50
devout salmon
You also get a black one for free eventually if that’s what you’re wanting.
forest laurel
you need to be second lieutenant in your GC too
nova copper
Aight
forest laurel
an apartment is 500k, and the cheapest small house is like, 1.6mil?
nova copper
Oof
slate arrow
Highly recommend just joining an FC if you can
forest laurel
yeah pretty much, FCs sometimes have houses as one of their selling points.
nova copper
Fc?
forest laurel
just shout around town asking to join one, or look in your data centre's recruitment channel
drifting burrow
is crystarium gear better than neo
forest laurel
for you it'd be #recruitment-crystal
devout salmon
Yes, Kate.
forest laurel
and if you use the recruitment channel, look for FCs in your server, because you'll only be able to join those ones.
drifting burrow
is eden the best?
slate arrow
a combination of augmented Crystarium and Eden's verse gear makes up BiS

Do sightseeing spots in ARR even appear if it's not the right time of day/weather?

Did you write "first time bonus unsynced"? @white sinew

what’s there to do in end game

tl;dr attempt current raid tier, attempt previous raid tier, ultimate raid, farm mounts and glam from extreme trials,@drifting burrow
@white sinew if paladin or red mage: yes, other jobs you'll need two to three if you don't have healing
mossy current
Or afk in limsa
drifting burrow
but is it worth getting the best gear in the game
slate arrow
@drifting burrow getting endgame gear is always optional
you can get by with just normal raid and crafted gear if you don't want to bother with savage
wintry chasm
@white sinew You can do pretty much all of coils with one level 80 if you know what you're doing

no. but there is other gear that looks LIKE that gear which you can get and colour that

valid nova
Yea
marble drift
like 30 minutes
humble birch
oh yea that reminds me
say you start a roulette before the reset
but you complete it after
does it give you the reward for after the reset or before?
edgy gate
after
valid nova
So you get bonus from roulette once a day, but if you spam it no bonus, as a tank though I get a game really quickly seeing as it’s random
humble birch
you only get bonus once a day
regal musk
but it's once per day
@humble birch wait. so there's no difference between second levelling roulette in a day and a preselected dungeons duty?
thought there's some bonus
if not, why do I suffer downscaling... :D
marble drift
a tiny bonus for roles in need
regal musk
right
marble drift
but thats it

don't do roulettes more than once a day unless you want adventurer in need bonus which is not the daily bonus

honestly SE should add the ability to skip cutscenes on MSQ roulettes if everyone there has done the dungeon

Red and blue scrips have been consolidated into yellow scrips btw
agile shoal
O thank you I've been trying to find where to get these red scrips for forever
Yay I have pants tysm!
eternal sable
2nd day back after years. 20gb patch, where can I find out what it's for? looked up ffxiv patch notes and didn't see anything on the official site
raven sage
If it's their second day back then that wouldn't be it
humble birch
my download for the whole game was around 50gb
raven sage
They would have downloaded it already
vagrant copper
20gb is typically what happens when you go from Free/trial to paid. 🤷♂️
But, no, there has been no patch in the last 48 hours. The game was just downloaded stuff you (hopefully) didn't have yet.
eternal sable
Ah thank you. Probably bc I bought shadowbringers. I expected it to force me to dl something, but did not yesterday.
I also expected it would have forced everyone to have the same assets.
raven sage
Ah if you bought it but didn't relaunch then it wouldn't have downloaded yeah
latent river
What is this string of quests? Where does it lead up to? https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Sky_Pirates
eternal sable
Actually, I'm guessing stuff like msq would be locked
raven sage
And it accounts for people not owning everything
It locks you completely from what you don't have
eternal sable
Yeah, makes sense. Thanks for helping me figure it out
vagrant copper
Most of the the new download would be new cutscenes, new lands, new monsters, etc. Anything that a new player could see (items, gear, classes) was already downloaded.
ornate jasper
hey, do you guys have any opinions on which class is more fun to play between ninja or dragoon?
echo tapir
dragoon if you want easier, ninja if you want a more stimulating experience at first learning it, then both just become muscle memory
dragoon have cool armor
ninja has cool armor but more weeb
eternal sable
How much time would you estimate it would take to level from 50-80?
kindred nimbus
Is it possible to have a wedding without any guests? more like a secret one 🙂
marble drift
yeah the engaged couple are the only ones able to hand out invites
kindred nimbus
if we take the platinum, will we both get the chocobo?
marble drift
I believe so yes
kindred nimbus
Ah alright 🙂
gloomy ice
@latent river The first quest unlocks after completing the first level 60 story trial, namely, the quest Heavensward. It can then be picked up in the Pillars near the AST trainer. It unlocks the Shadow of Mhach alliance raid series. HW's set of 24-person raids.
latent river
Thanks @gloomy ice
gloomy ice
@eternal sable Level thresholds from the expansions (50-60, 60-70, and 70-80 respectively) are designed to take roughly the same amount of time as leveling 1-50.
zinc orbitBOT
eternal sable
Okay, thanks @gloomy ice I saw a table suggesting ~24 hours for a particular optimized grind from 50-60, so that gives me an idea
subtle marten
so ive been thinking about leveling another dps, mainly deciding between samurai and monk
what are the benefits and downsides of each?
marble drift
samurai's biggest benefit is that missing your posistionals doesn't cripple you
while its downside would probably be lack of utility.
It brings 1 thing. damage.
forest lark
How to obtain the title Goddess of War
marble drift
Level all Disicple of War jobs to a certain level. check it out in your acheivements tab
marble drift
anyway. Monk has utility. It has a buff to party healing and a physical damage boost for its party members.
forest lark
Rip
marble drift
But its more reliant on positionals and uptime.
also harder.
cause Samurai is like the equivilent of a preschool math test
Wut is 1+1?!?!?
gloomy ice
Samurai is more dependent on resource management than it is on positionals
But, yeah, Samurai is raw output and nothing else. Monk is more about proper positioning with a bit of utility.
marble drift
If you have to spend long periods outside of melee range Monk is liable to suck
Samurai too of course but. Less than monk
hasty spade
can't wait to get my phial and switch to Viera
gritty oracle
Fury, you have to own Shadowbringers to be able to switch to viera
marble drift
the phial of fantasia you get however is not under a duration and will paiently sit in your invetory until you buy Shadowbringers
humble birch
until you buy shb?
vernal beacon
Hello all, I just joined server and started an AST. Any tips on how to level it?
marble drift
dungeons.
lament wagon
do roulettes then spam the highest level dungeon that is not level 50/60/70
open coral
Daily roulettes then spam your highest level leveling dungeon
lament wagon
alternatively, potd
gloomy ice
@humble birch Au Ra race requires Heavensward expansion to play. Viera and Hrothgar races requires Shadowbringers.
open coral
PotD isn’t recommended for tanks or healers because actual leveling dungeons are more efficient for them
We only recommend potd for dps because of queue times
vernal beacon
What’s potD?
open coral
Palace of the Dead, a special kind of dungeon
vernal beacon
Oh gotcha, thank you all so much
gloomy ice
Palace of the Dead. A semi rogue-like dungeon. Randomized tiles. With a separate leveling system internally. Still rewards regular exp for reaching checkpoints.
fringe inlet
Is there any point to grabbing a collectable when its below the minimum rarity needed for scrips
ivory gull
Is the wings of the new Pixie dress detachable ?
gloomy ice
@fringe inlet Could gather it not as a collectible and vendor it. Not much but better than leaving empty handed I guess.
@ivory gull They are not
ivory gull
shame
gritty oracle
As a thaumaturge, should I let astral/umbral modenrun out between pulls, or should I use Transpose every couple seconds so I can swing into the next pull on astral?
sick zenith
Keep transposing every 10 seconds
wintry chasm
^ Just for the sake of it being good practice really
sick zenith
Its a good habit to keep for dungeon yeah
wintry chasm
later on not dropping the buffs is important
It's not a huge problem to let it drop off at lower levels though
sick zenith
Later BLM has stuff that tequires keepung up astral umbral
keen fable
if you use high quality shards when crafting, does that help the quality too?
wintry chasm
There is no such thing Dark
gritty oracle
Thanks!
keen fable
is there not? i could've sworn i saw a high quality thing on water shards
wintry chasm
No
What you probably saw was some water airship crystal thing
which is not the same as actual crafting crystals
keen fable
oh ok
gritty oracle
Is Scathe worth using as a thm? Just reading my spells ahead
keen fable
if i already have 15% before abilities to get a HQ from a node, then adding more perception won't do anything, right?
buoyant monolith
Is there wearing Glasses in XIV?
heavy radish
hey everyone, just wondering. is there a diffrence between fairies?
heavy radish
oh ok
sick zenith
@buoyant monolith yes
gritty oracle
@buoyant monolith Yes but they're usually crafted
sick zenith
@gritty oracle yes but its not part of the standard dps rotation
Its good for When youre moving or paralyzed
You can kite stuff with it if you suddenly are getting overwhelmed
gloomy ice
@keen fable You'll need more perception for higher levels so it couldn't hurt to add more.
buoyant monolith
Is there wearing glasses in XIV And can they be via purchased in shops or crafted?
keen fable
yeah i figured, i was just curious as to whether i should farm the materials to make better gear at the moment or wait
buoyant monolith
Anyone?
keen fable
@buoyant monolith read up, they said yes
gloomy ice
@buoyant monolith Glasses are usually made by Goldsmiths. The materials needed varies by type, of which there are several.
slate arrow
Depends on which ones you want and/or how much time
wispy shard
You can buy glasses straight from the vendor in Limsa Lominsa. They're caster gear
junior yacht
on the island of Vylbrand
keen fable
no. its one of the other major cities
gloomy ice
Limsa Lominsa is one of the three starting cities. If you don't start in it, you'll reach it eventually via the story quests.
gritty oracle
Why do people say Fire II is a meme? Should I yeet it from my hotbars?
junior yacht
Fire 2 stops being used in the BLM rotation pretty quickly after it becomes available
wispy shard
No no. Limsa Lominsa is not a person. It's a city.
buoyant monolith
Ooh
junior yacht
you might as well keep it on your bar though, in case you get synced down
buoyant monolith
How do I get there, Via travel?
buoyant monolith
13 almost to 15 and 2,555 gill
keen fable
is there a way to gather specifically HQ animal hide, or is that just something that has to drop?
sick zenith
Ok so keep going in main quests and youll get to limsa lominsa in 2 levels
gloomy ice
The vendors in Ul'dah and Gridania all have the same items btw. You don't need to go to Limsa specifically.
@keen fable HQ hides are, yeah, random drops.
keen fable
thats bum
buoyant monolith
Alrighty, lv 15 is required to get there?
gloomy ice
Yep. Just keep playing the story quests and they'll take you there before too long.
buoyant monolith
Alrighty lol
keen fable
:v
buoyant monolith
And I was not joking that I was farming EXP in via side quest lol
keen fable
what's overmelding? just adding more materia than what should normally be there, right? Is that just something you can do on any piece of gear?
buoyant monolith
How much are regular pets in XIV is?
buoyant monolith
Like the small animals that fallows u
echo tapir
a lot of them are cheap
sick zenith
I think you get most of them through questing and dungeons
echo tapir
the rarer ones maybe thousands
sick zenith
Theres an npc who sells some in gridania
broken pasture
@keen fable Once you unlock the quest to do so
echo tapir
the rarest like hundred thousand, ive seen, but i dont remember what those were
gloomy ice
@keen fable Exactly right. Overmelding is stuffing more materia into a piece of gear that has no more slots.
echo tapir
there's a lot of pets in this game
broken pasture
And you can play StarCraft Lite with them!
echo tapir
they go for so much sometimes cause people want it 1. so cute 2. you can battle with it in the lord of verminion game or w/e
yea
starcraft lite
broken pasture
So collect themall
echo tapir
some pets are OP and do a huge aoe in that game
gloomy ice
But if the gear has zero slots to begin with, then it can't be melded. If it has at least one, it can actually hold up to five.
echo tapir
or a stun or something
broken pasture
Well Starcraft without the fun part. Just the micro
If I am part of a party do I get an XP bonus in duties? I've been telling that to myself but haven't actually confirmed.
keen fable
Where's the quest to start that, what level do I need to be?
lime sphinx
can i boost my desynth skill with 200 gil gear from vendors ?
keen fable
Overmelding*
sick zenith
Dont worry about overmelding
gloomy ice
@keen fable Level 19 crafting class I believe? Any one will do. It's unlocked in Central Thanalan in Mutamix's camp.
sick zenith
Its end gameish stuff imo
keen fable
I only ask because I just made a spicy pair of daggers
:p
i want to make them the best i can
sick zenith
Youll find spicier daggers by the time itll take to get someone to overmeld low level gear for you
Materia isnt strong yet anyways
zinc orbitBOT
remote lintel
crit
keen fable
kay. i know it doesnt matter that much but might as well add materia that im not using
remote lintel
I mean it won't make that much difference
gloomy ice
At low levels it's, yeah, almost negligible.
sick zenith
The numerical difference might be negligible, but the feeling of being dressed in your finest isnt
remote lintel
at low lvls you have armor for like 5 seconds then switch
tough wolf
I'd really like to get into chocobo racing. Is there a resource (site/reddit post/etc.) someone could link me to?
keen fable
well i'm leveling two classes at one time, so whereas i do get armor often, it's missing like half the gear, so i've just been crafting as i go too
;p
buoyant monolith
Oook I’m doing the side quest called what peistes crave and I’m on the silent kings head and idk what to do lol
keen fable
just do msq
tough wolf
Certainly looks like a choco racing guide. Thanks smug!
keen fable
you don't need to do side quests unless you want to
remote lintel
what does it say to do
buoyant monolith
I’m at western
remote lintel
thats not a side quest
buoyant monolith
Oh?
sick zenith
What peistes crave is a levequest
buoyant monolith
Ah
sick zenith
So you can do it for extra xp or skip it
If you want to do leved youll have to initiate them in your journal before you actually begin them
buoyant monolith
I’m doing totobowas trial
sick zenith
Did you find how to initiate it
buoyant monolith
No
buoyant monolith
Ok I’m looking at it
remote lintel
you should be in the green circle on your map
don't initiate it when you're like 50 miles away
buoyant monolith
I’m in the green circle
remote lintel
oh
buoyant monolith
What’s next, click initiate?
remote lintel
yes
buoyant monolith

Hi there Id like to ask for some help regarding purchasing FFXIV
leaden ginkgo
is it okay to ask questions about external websites/apps here?
lavish helm
hey, just started and I want to play on one of the increased exp servers (light datacentr EU) zodiark or lich but they are like perma closed while others keep opening pretty often, is there hope?
slate arrow
@lavish helm due to COVID the servers have a higher player count during all times so you'll have to wait for extreme off hours before you can make a character on one of those servers
@leaden ginkgo yes
@lean quest yes
leaden ginkgo
ahh okay sweet
lavish helm
ah..why do exactly these servers have the exp boni then? seems quite...unpractical
leaden ginkgo
whats more reliable? the active/uptime value on xivanalysis, or on fflogs?
whole wasp
help to balance out the server pops
leaden ginkgo
cos for my e6s fight, xivanalysis has my uptime at 87%, but fflogs has it at 95%
whole wasp
xivanalysis is good for basic stuff like getting your rotation down on a dummy without stress
fflogs is more for specific fights
the logs one probably tells a better story then.
lavish helm
hm okay, is it advised to wait for them to open or will I be just fine on any regular server? exp wise, like does it make a huge difference?
remote lintel
no
lean quest
@slate arrow am actually from India and I wanted to buy FFXIV like the complete edition,noticed it first on my steam store, but I didnt want to buy it from there and it said there you needed a EU se account to play anyways, long story short I did make an eu account and it did let me select my country when making the account but when am on the checkout page it doesnt let me select india like the option is just not there, so whats advised to do in such a case, considering I get more out of what I buy on the site I assume
keen fable
it'll only make a difference if you plan on leveling alts @lavish helm
whole wasp
its nice to have but not necessary.
slate arrow
@lean quest can you buy from humble bundle, dunno if humble bundle offers EU keys, though? If you're from India, I'm also fairly sure steam has local pricing so you could also do that, but do note you'll have to buy all future expansions from steam as well
remote lintel
steam
upper tartan
Hi, I am a new player and I wonder when I can join a Free Company? I am currently only lv 10 but the option is disabled for me, so I am curious.
lean quest
@slate arrow exactly why I didnt want to buy it from steam is because I would have to wait for the exapnsions through it as well but yes it does have local pricing on it
slate arrow
@upper tartan you can be invited to a free company anytime
Given you own A Realm Reborn
remote lintel
@upper tartan you only have access to the "free company" tab when you are actually in one
whole wasp
the option at the grand company headquarters is for starting a free company iirc
upper tartan
Ah, I do. So it's available all this time, thanks. I see, then I should start looking for one.
lean quest
the problem more so is the complete edition that it lists there only incudes realm reborn and shadowbringers at least thats what it shows there
slate arrow
@lean quest shadowbringers comes with all previous expansions
vagrant copper
Getting Shadowbringers gets you everything
whole wasp
@lean quest im in a similar position. im in SG and have an NA account, it didnt let me pick SG as location obviously so i just typed in 123 beverly hills, USA for my shipping address and it works fine. i dont expect to be able buy plushies on the store.
whole wasp
shadowbringers includes everything. you can see it when you click on the product info for shadowbringers
remote lintel
it doesnt even check if ur address is valid??
whole wasp
lean quest
@slate arrow ah right but I do miss out on the collector edition benefits if am not mistaken because they arent listed on steam
whole wasp
no it doesnt, i emailed their support before and they say the shipping address is purely for record keeping and they dont really care
remote lintel
you can upgrade to the collectors edition i think
slate arrow
@lean quest you can buy the digital collectors edition upgrade on Mogstation anytime
whole wasp
@keen fable ikr. i want a namazu plushie. 
lean quest
@whole wasp yea thats interesting that you mention cause I was reading about another reddit thread regarding very much that although people recommended him to do the same thing
@slate arrow wouldnt that be more expensive per se?
keen fable
smug make an account in your region so you can order a namazu plushie :v
whole wasp
i cant. ffxiv SEA website only existed for stormblood
and it redirects you to the NA website anyway
slate arrow
@lean quest alternatively, you can buy FFXIV starter edition and Shadowbringers collectors on steam seperately so you can take advantage of steam local pricing
keen fable
@whole wasp so order it to a post office in na
then reroute your address to your eu address
slate arrow
Since I'm fairly sure it'll still be cheaper than buying off of the SE store
keen fable
problem solved
slate arrow
I mean that's still pretty fuckin expensive shipping unless you can find it fixed rate
whole wasp
i'll just get hank to buy it for me and mail it. 
slate arrow
lmao
keen fable
@slate arrow worth it for namazu plushie
lean quest
@slate arrow yea when I look at the complete editions price its pretty much half off what eu store is offering
slate arrow
Steam local pricing is so nice
I'm pretty sure it's a net loss for valve most of the time but who knows
keen fable
valve gets extraordinarily low prices so i highly highly doubt it
lean quest
one other way for me is I can purchase base game and then shadowbringers collectors edition
keen fable
plus, valve doesn't actually sell the game to you
lean quest
again only issue is limited to steam
keen fable
like they do, but they don't
they're more of a host that takes a cut of the profit
they then work out local deals with publishers
slate arrow
I mean it's still cheaper than having to buy it off the EU SE store and steam really doesn't have that many issues
plus you're getting a discount automatically because steam local pricing
keen fable
just know that if you purchase on steam you're going to have to stay on steam
lean quest
thats my point dont want to be restricted to steam
keen fable
well if you purchase on se you have to stay on se
lean quest
and the miss out on collectors edition rewards
keen fable
so
remote lintel
you can upgrade to collector's edition even on steam
slate arrow
you can't miss out it'll just be more expensive to get them later on
lean quest
dont have friends on steam anyways
keen fable
^
slate arrow
and even then you're already getting a discount because of local pricing
I'd say take it unless you want to wait for a FFXIV sale
keen fable
is there a point to trying to hq items leveling early on in doh stuff
lean quest
oh am buying today regardless of where I buy
keen fable
i know hq items give you more xp, but the chance of actually getting one early on is exceedingly low
slate arrow
Then buy it on steam :V
@keen fable levequests grant 100% rewards, as well as turn ins
keen fable
i know levequests do, but i've been told over and over to avoid those until 25
lean quest
how bad is steams timeframe with the expansions usually?
slate arrow
so for a starred GC turn in you can get up to 400% rewards with an HQ item
@lean quest steam always has expansions at the same time SE does
slate arrow
the only thing that doesn't happen at the same time are sales
keen fable
i know those i shoot for hq
slate arrow
But even then they do happen sometimes
golden week, for example, SE usually runs sales on steam for FFXIV
lean quest
its on site too I just saw
orchid python
Is there a total computed amount of poetics you would need to get an Anima weapon?
slate arrow
@orchid python 10k+ depending on how much you take advantage of repeatable quests
(mainly due to how much umbrite you need)
orchid python
ohhh so its all in the umbrite step eh?
slate arrow
mostly yeah
lean quest
is there a way to check what would be the upragde prices through mogstation?@slate arrow
slate arrow
@lean quest each one is 20USD, no local pricing
orchid python
so im at that step where you gather unidentified stuff like bones etc. and was able to collect 2/4 combi materials today
you reckon
I can get a weapon
slate arrow
So it's still cheaper to buy ARR + SHB collectors edition seperately
orchid python
in less than a week?
slate arrow
you can't gather unidentifiable stuff
slate arrow
However you can either farm Alexander 1-4 normal, use beast tribes, etc
keen fable
is it better to do dungeons or potd for a level and a half? i'm really close to ninja ;v
slate arrow
Gathering usually refers to the gathering jobs (miner and botanist) so you had me confused for a brief moment hah
@keen fable dungeons unless you don't want to play below level 60 or you don't want to wait for a queue
sick zenith
Any reason the SE website keep saying my info is incorrect when it isnt
keen fable
when purchasing?
sick zenith
To the point that i changed my password and its still doing it
I own the game already
keen fable
oh
lean quest
btw the collectors edition items from the previous exapnsions arent worth it I assume?
sick zenith
Regular SE account that lets me into lodestone
keen fable
if you want the items in there
remote lintel
why don't you look at them and decide
i think shadowbringers just gives you a minion and a mount and something else

Minion, mount, and a gunbreaker glamour weapon
lean quest
yea a mount a minion and some sword
slate arrow
Based on Squall's revolver gunblade
