quasi spire
#

story is nice just padded out to hell. that banquet arc can go die. i just finished most of ARR

jade quartz
#

The length of the leveling process 1-50 is comparable to the length of the leveling process in each expansion.

quasi spire
#

btw for hunting log do you need to get the kill on the mob in a dungeon?

uncut hearth
#

So if I already level boosted should I just play it for the story

#

Is what I’m asking

#

Or YouTube it

fresh lodge
#

Up to you

stuck oracle
#

i'm excited to see what they'll do with ARR in 5.3, would i be able to experience the new ARR through NG+ or would i have to make a new char?

faint flare
#

It should be added to ng+

jade quartz
#

Presumably NG+ ARR will either come alongside 5.3 or in a following patch.

faint flare
#

Only reason it isn't now is cause of the revamp

crystal bluff
#

this game has newgame+?

buoyant monolith
#

Yes but on a different world on the server you in

slate arrow
#

@crystal bluff not how you're thinking of NG+

#

NG+ simply lets you replay the MSQ without needing a new character

crystal bluff
#

oh

slate arrow
#

however you won't get any rewards whatsoever

twilit arch
#

not simply msq tho

#

it lets to reply certain side quest chains as well, i.e the alliance raids and such

#

but yeah its for redoing the stories again, no rewards

buoyant monolith
#

My character can now get a non sense he’s LV 15, and I cannot chose which job to do, what’s the best job to do as my starting job?

slate arrow
#

you can't get a job until you're level 30 and your job is tied to your class

marble drift
#

get a non sense? o_O

thin abyss
#

my character is lvl 30 but my quest line is still not there? Does the main quest need to get to lvl 30 before I could get job?

jade quartz
#

@thin abyss yes, you must finish the MSQ "Sylph-Management"

open coral
#

Have you done your class quests @thin abyss ?

thin abyss
#

ohhh yess that is my next quest

jade quartz
#

it's level 20.

thin abyss
#

yes I have been doing archer quests

#

They are at lvl 25 I believe

marble drift
#

right you will still need to do any other job quests for your base class before you get the opportunity to advance

thin abyss
#

or something

jade quartz
#

@buoyant monolith jobs are simply leveled-up versions of your class with a new name. Your starting class will become a job at level 30.

open coral
#

You should be doing your class quest every five levels

jade quartz
#

E.g. conjurer turns into white mage.

thin abyss
#

ohhh ok

jade quartz
#

What you have unlocked at level 15 is the ability to switch to other classes.

#

So you can now try out the classes you didn't start as.

thin abyss
#

I have been doing msq and when on down time during raid quests, I do my class quests

open coral
#

So if you’re level 30, you should have access to or have completed the level 30 class quest

jade quartz
#

Actually, strictly speaking you unlocked that after your level 10 class quest.

#

But now that you're level 15 you can travel to all three major cities after completing the level 15 MSQ

thin abyss
#

And should I just do archer quests or start other quests as well. Like arcanist etc... and will that make my archer 0 if I start the other ones?

jade quartz
#

meaning you have the full range of starting classes available.

open coral
#

Your ARC level won’t change

jade quartz
#

You simply learn another class.

open coral
#

Every job levels independently

thin abyss
#

ok my arc lvl is 29 I believe

jade quartz
#

It's common-sense rules. You're learning a new skill.

open coral
#

So if you picked up Arcanist, you’d be Archer 29, Arcanist 1

thin abyss
#

ok I understand it better now. This is the first MMO I am playing sooo it has been a headscratcher for me

faint flare
#

Just remember there's no character level

open coral
#

This is a system unique to FFXIV

faint flare
#

Its just whatever level your job is you're currently on

thin abyss
#

ohhh ok, so I don't need to needlessly farm stupid animals around?

open coral
#

No

faint flare
#

No

thin abyss
#

But do the MSQ AND the class quests?

faint flare
#

Yes

thin abyss
#

LuL, I have been killing a lot of stupid animals lmao

faint flare
#

Msq locks all content basically

open coral
#

The MSQ should give sufficient xp to level one job

jade quartz
#

oh dear

quasi spire
#

so long as you do side quests yes

open coral
#

There’s no need to grind mobs though

jade quartz
#

MSQ msq is the most important thing in this game (until you hit level 80).

marble drift
#

there will be some points in which you need to do other quests but yes

thin abyss
#

ok I understand it better now

jade quartz
#

Sidequests are not a good exp source.

#

You will not have to do sidequests for exp

hoary storm
#

You only need side quests if youre not on a preferred I think

thin abyss
#

ok

jade quartz
#

No, you never need sidequests.

#

You're better off doing anything but sidequests.

open coral
#

At level 16 in the MSQ you should gain access to the Leveling dungeon daily roulette

jade quartz
#

Sidequests are worthless for exp.

open coral
#

Do that every day

quasi spire
#

might as well do sidequests as you're running story

jade quartz
#

When MSQ exp is insufficient to get you to the next level, you should do roulettes, dungeons, PotD, FATEs, hunts, hunting log.

#

Your time is better spent on anything but sidequests for efficiency's sake.

thin abyss
#

ok so I should do the leveling dungeon daily roulette to lvl up and do main story quests and class quests. Got it

open coral
#

Normal sidequests sidequest are worthless from an xp standpoint

thin abyss
#

ok I understand it better now

jade quartz
#

Blue sidequests bluequest now those are important.

#

They unlock content or features.

thin abyss
#

Yeah I haven't done any of the normal side quests, but I have been picking up the ones with + icons

quasi spire
#

i mainly did sidequests to make exclamation marks go away

stable hinge
#

what does the sultana of uldah even do

quasi spire
#

as you're levelling some sidequest give level appropriate gear for free

#

otherwise yeah they're not the greatest

stuck oracle
#

she exists

thin abyss
#

I think I am overleveled for the current content I am doing and I am over geared for it

stuck oracle
#

what level gear do you have?

stable hinge
#

the sultana is so useless smh

#

all she does is speak nonsense and be rich

stuck oracle
#

she's trying her best

hoary storm
open coral
#

If your left side gear and weapon more or less match your current level under level 50, you’re fine

#

Accessories are always going to trail a bit

stable hinge
#

is the sylph tribe unlocked through MSQ or do i have to do something else for them to speak to me

jade quartz
#

In summary:

Mandatory: MSQ msq and your class quests.
Extremely highly recommended: most blue quests bluequest as they unlock content, dungeons, features. Some of the features they unlock are incredibly key.
(The exception is blue quests bluequest that unlock other classes. These aren't necessary to do unless you want to play that particular class. These are usually quite obvious, with names like "So You Want To Be a Pugilist".)

MSQ will give you the bulk of the exp you need for your first class; if you're on a preferred server, it will probably even overlevel. Other classes can be leveled with daily roulettes, dungeons etc.

Sidequests sidequest in most cases do not reward anything useful, so you should only do them if you want to experience the little stories and local area lore, or for completionism's sake.

open coral
#

You have to reach a certain point in the MSQ to unlock beast tribes

stable hinge
#

Ty

hoary storm
#

should pin that msg here tbh

#

ppl ask that a lot

jade quartz
#

The Sultana does plenty, but her political power is heavily stymied by the Ul'dahn government. She is a significant character in the story. Indepth discussion isn't suited for this channel though.

quasi spire
#

one thing i'd add is to try to complete the hunting log as you go along

#

it's annoying to go back and complete

open coral
#

You don’t have to complete it, again, that’s something for completionism

quasi spire
#

the GC one is necessary for promotion

open coral
#

But it is good xp under level 30 or so

hasty spade
#

Looking forward to playing a Viera Dancer. Can't make it male but I can make it close enough, NB gang

languid zinc
#

So, people
I just made another job out of curiosty and now I wonder, how does rest XP scales toward lower levels? It's nowhere mentioned i think?
Like, if i've rested on my 70 Lv Job 1.5 Lv of XP, so it's millions of XP
It's still will be millions of XP rested while switching to lower lv jobs, that's true?

marble drift
#

nope its percentage based

languid zinc
#

% based?
So i have rested XP now for 30 levels?

marble drift
#

X% on a level, regardless of level

languid zinc
#

Oooh, i see

marble drift
#

I forget the cap. 1.5 levels I think? but not all thing use rested xp

#

quests or roulette bonuses don't iirc.

quasi spire
#

how do i get access to high level GC leves? do i need to do the low level ones first?

strange coral
#

You need to rank up to Sgt 3rd class and 1st class for Whitebrim and St Coinach GC leves

quasi spire
#

i'm basically trying to grind to sgt 3rd class so i can start turning in stuff

gritty oracle
#

Do GC leves give good XP? Just tried custom delivery and it's pretty meh, only like 2/5 a level for a Delivery.

clever cave
#

No those suck

jade quartz
#

There are no GC leves for crafters.

#

Custom Deliveries are extremely good for exp.

kindred nimbus
#

But is that adjusted to your level?

jade quartz
#

Yes.

kindred nimbus
#

Ah in that case its really good!

forest lark
#

Theres no crystal bell in crystarium inn?

jade quartz
#

Nope

forest lark
#

WhatbdidbI waste 999 gil for xd

kindred nimbus
#

Regarding custom deliveries, should I hand in the items for different crafting class or should I focus on a couple to begin with? Im afraid that my inventory will be busted if I focus on them all?

faint flare
#

You can only do 12 a week and all crafters submit the same stuff

#

Submit on the stuff you wanna level

kindred nimbus
#

Sorry but what does 12 a week mean in this case? 🙂

faint flare
#

12 custom deliveries a week

#

6 per person

kindred nimbus
#

Oh ok

clever cave
#

Until you cap reputation you should also hand in only 3 at a time because the item will change as you gain reputation

kindred nimbus
#

Are we talking about GC turns in? Im lost xD

faint flare
#

Custom deliveries

#

Like you asked

clever cave
#

No this is for lvl 56+ custom deliveries

kindred nimbus
#

where does the reputation comes in? 🙂

faint flare
#

Gc turn ins are once a day per crafter which Changes everyday

jade quartz
#

@white sinew The Wyrm's set is undyeable, but its weaker version, the Drachen set, can be augmented to be dyed. The full set requires 7 "Drachen Armor Augmentation" items, craftable by alchemists, which can be bought from other players on the marketboard.

faint flare
#

When you submit stuff for custom deliveries, that person reputation goes up and their story progresses

jade quartz
#

The armor and the augmentation items can be traded to Kakalan in the northern building in Revenant's Toll for the dyeable versions.

clever cave
#

Pretty sure jimin is new and did not unlock custom deliveries yet lol

kindred nimbus
#

oh my bad really, I thought custom delivieres and GC turns in was the same thing 🙂

faint flare
#

And their list changes and get vetter rewars

#

They're not

kindred nimbus
#

yeah that is correct 🙂

#

I have to be +56 with crafters right?

clever cave
#

Gc turn in you can collect all the items and turn them in once every day for quick exps

faint flare
#

To unlock it

kindred nimbus
#

Ah!

#

is that the same thing with tribe?

faint flare
#

Beast tribes are just 3 quests Daily

kindred nimbus
#

oh I see 🙂

clever cave
#

Beast tribes you unlock at certain levels, some beast tribes target exp for doh/dol/battle jobs

kindred nimbus
#

Alright 🙂

#

I also read somewhere about cross-class? Do you guys know anything about it?

jade quartz
#

Here's what it looks like dyed.

faint flare
#

Cross class skills are basically gone

jade quartz
#

It doesn't change the texture to be like the Wyrm's set

#

just makes it dyeable.

little swift
#

Only cross class left is select disciple of land skills

jade quartz
#

The Wyrm's set is just a different colour and has slightly-glowy highlights.

kindred nimbus
#

Ah alright 🙂

#

Thanks for the explanation guys! Appreciate it 🙂

hasty spade
#

How hard is it to make an androgynous Viera?

blissful matrix
#

hard considering no one knows what a male viera looks like

barren holly
#

where's the HW monk quests

#

i totally forgot

jade quartz
#

They start with Erik at the Goldsmith's Guild.

barren holly
#

i'm like in the middle tho 😔

jade quartz
#

Try Revenant's Toll

barren holly
#

leaden ginkgo
#

Hey guys, I have cleared The Howling eye Dungeon like 3 times now, how do I actually get Garuda to spawn?

#

need it for a quest

jade quartz
#

Um

#

I don't understand the question

#

what are you trying to do exactly?

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm doing "Lady of the vortex" quest

#

which tells me to confront garuda

#

but I havnt seen garuda yet inside the dungeon

clear nest
jade quartz
#

@leaden ginkgo uh. It's not a dungeon, and you will see Garuda as soon as you enter.

slate arrow
#

The MSQ goes nowhere, and duty roulette means you'll eventually get a queue for all content

faint flare
#

Garuda is the thing you fight in Howling eye

jade quartz
#

Use the duty finder to enter the trial "The Howling Eye"

leaden ginkgo
#

oh... wait i think I had 2 dungeons selected by mistake

#

so i wasnt even ever getting insde the right one

#

my bad

desert ivy
#

Hey, what's a chill way to level side jobs? Not necessarily the most optimised. I've heard about Palace of the dead, duty roulettes etc but not sure what to do

slate arrow
#

tl;dr roulettes, highest level dungeon, palace of the dead, squadrons

jade quartz
#

Always do your daily leveling roulette.

#

Main Scenario Roulette and Alliance Raid Roullette are also good for exp. Trials Roulette is also usually OK for the short amount of time it takes.

wintry chasm
#

Really whatever you want Bubbline otherwise it's not that chill

jade quartz
#

Then you can repeatedly do your highest level dungeon, or Palace of the Dead if you're a DPS class and have long queue times for regular dungeons.

wintry chasm
#

^ I'd mix it up personally

jade quartz
#

Then there's supplementary stuff like beast tribe quests (level 41 and above), hunts (50 and above) and FATEs.

devout salmon
#

Isn't there a site that tells if one item shares the same appearance as another?

faint flare
#

Garlandtools

devout salmon
#

That's what it was. Thank you.

slate arrow
#

garland data yes

devout salmon
#

Darn I was hoping there was a Samurai wearable version of Idealized Bhikku Cyclas

mossy current
#

AF4 dyed gear?

silk summit
#

What pet commands do you actually need for scholar? Controller so limited space for things I can reach comfortably.

faint flare
#

Place, heel, whispering dawn, fey illumination and fey union

silk summit
#

Oh yeah, I know you want the abilities, I mean the other stuff. And that's what I thought, thanks.

mossy current
#

@devout salmon that gear is unique, but the Ala Mhigan Striking gear is somewhat similar

sand panther
#

So I've been gone for 4 years some funky crap happened to my account and i can't switch (ps4 blues) but i made another account and im returning back to the game i was s big tank (paladin and dark knight mostly) and I'm wondering are those still viable

faint flare
#

Yes

silk summit
#

All classes are viable

faint flare
#

Everything is viable

#

And everything is welcome

#

Provided you can press your buttons

devout salmon
#

@mossy current Yeah that one may work. I was looking at that one as well. But I was hoping for the other too. They do look very similar though.

cunning palm
#

which Duty roulette gives you the most gil?

barren holly
#

you mean raw gil or gil in general

#

because expert and 80 roulettes give you materia you can sell for gil

cunning palm
#

i dont even remember those two give me materia :< , doesnt matter which one gives me more $? im very broke

buoyant monolith
#

How do I get to Hall of Novice?

barren holly
#

my personal suggestion is doing 80 and expert and then just grinding the 80 dungeons for materia-- or adventurer in need for stellaclusters

#

if you want to do it that way; through duties

buoyant monolith
#

I’m doing the main quest

barren holly
#

talking to other guy

#

i don't remember how to get to hall of the novice 😔

clever cave
#

duty menu > hall of the novice

#

& duty roulette is best for exp, not worth the time grinding it for gil if that is the goal

barren holly
#

if you want to get gil purely through rewards from combat, then grinding level 80 dungeons is the way to do it, no?

cunning palm
#

i know but i am so broke to the point i almost cant teleport lol

barren holly
#

bruh..

#

oh right, do hunts too

#

A rank shadowbringer hunts give you tomestones and stellaclusters

#

you can sell materials from tomestones and materia from clusters

cunning palm
#

a materia sells for few k gils right? approximately

barren holly
#

depends on the type and your server

buoyant monolith
#

I need to speak with the Seasoned Adventure at hall of noivce but the ship is blocked off, how do I get there?

open coral
#

Two options

#

First option, go to the Fisherman’s guild in Limsa Lominsa and speak to the ferry master at the dock. Ask him to take you to Aleport.

dire saffron
#

whatd be the fastest way to level from 67-70 as tank? nearest level dungeons or hoh?

open coral
#

Second option, exit Limsa Lominsa into Western Lanoscea and walk all the way

#

Highest level dungeons only is faster

nova copper
#

Does Stormblood have the other expansions in it?

open coral
#

Stormblood would have everything except Shadowbringers

nova copper
#

I meant shadow

buoyant monolith
#

Can less FPS can cause the game to crash?

open coral
#

Yes. Purchasing Shadowbringers would include Heavensward and Stormblood

grave thicket
open coral
#

Lower FPS could be a symptom of something that would cause your game to crash, but wouldn’t be a direct cause

grave thicket
#

This is mine atm, but since I will be getting new skills soon™, i want to know how I can make them all fit in just those, without depending on alternating bars

#

yo I could give you mine @woven berry

#

I'd really appreciate if you use it 🙂

leaden ginkgo
#

does everyone see waymarks and signs?

#

like if i put waymark and sign me in east shroud do others see them

open coral
#

Only people in your party

faint flare
#

People in your party do

leaden ginkgo
#

what if im not in a party

#

is it only me then

wild imp
#

Whats the difference between a normal enemy cast bar and a red one?

open coral
#

Then only you can see it

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

#

ty

faint flare
#

Pulsating cast bars can be interupted with skills like Interject and Head graze

wild imp
#

Is there a difference between those abilities to interrupt and Leg Sweep?

faint flare
#

Let sweep stuns mobs and a fair amount of stuff after ARR is immune to stun

#

While interupt works regardless of resistances

wild imp
#

Ahaa ok thank you

leaden ginkgo
#

I found a guy with an orange name, is it a GM?

faint flare
#

They're someone on your friend list

leaden ginkgo
#

wut

faint flare
#

People on your friend list have a different colour name

#

Default is orange

gloomy ice
#

You'll rarely see a GM player character in game unless you messed up. They do sometimes get bored and appear to people but for the most part they're invisible.

faint flare
#

GMs have a shadowy aura around them if you do ever see one

#

And clearly have a GM tag

leaden ginkgo
vivid cosmos
#

Hi everybody! First day on this discord and I was wondering if I could get some advise. I'm working on my goldsmith atm but I'm starting to go broke. Are there any items in high demand I can craft to make money? I'm level 74 atm ^_^

opal shoal
#

do Ishgard Restoration. mats are relatively affordable and you can easily push to 80 with it

vivid cosmos
#

I'm there atm actually!

opal shoal
#

I misread your question haha

#

electrum ingots from what I have seen sell well

#

think those are GSM

gloomy ice
#

Intermediate mats like whetstones are a decent choice as well. Profit margin might be fairly low but they tend to sell at a decent rate

vivid cosmos
#

I'll keep that in mind! Thank you. I was considering offering to make things for other players by request but I'm not sure if that's appropriate 😅

leaden ginkgo
#

hey ay<ll

#

is there a way to switch chat tabs when writing ion keyboard?

#

from partycvhat to fg chat for instance

#

so ofrten i write but then see im in group chat or something

wintry chasm
#

you can do stuff like /p "text here"

#

and that'd put it in party chat

faint flare
#

Theres "/" commands for each chat

wintry chasm
#

Just doing /p and nothing else and sending that defaults chat to party

leaden ginkgo
#

ah nice okay

#

i suppose with /fg would be the same and so one?

faint flare
#

/Fc

#

Iirc

pine onyx
#

Is there anyway to sort out gear thats at full spiritbond in your inventory?

leaden ginkgo
#

ah yeah thx so much guys

#

i wanted todo it with tab switching, it works but i didnt see that their are 47 chats to choose from

quasi spire
#

at what level difference do aggressive enemies not target you?

gloomy ice
#

@pine onyx I don't believe there is but if you have your inventory display thing on, fully bonded gear goes from green to white when equipped.

#

@quasi spire When you're ten levels above

quasi spire
#

thanks

#

also: i'm level 49 and halfway to 50, doing the final set of main quests. should i buy xpac now?

#

or wait till ultima weapon is beat?

pine onyx
#

@gloomy ice Ahh, thats unfortunate, I've spent far too long without extracting materia from my low-level gear, so I was hoping for a quick way to sift through all my gear

civic garden
#

Well if you buy up to Stormblood you can unlock Samurai and Red Mage at level 50

quasi spire
#

im on steam so its shadowbringers or nothing

civic garden
#

Well that's fine. All three expansions then.

quasi spire
#

and id rather stick with my current class (paladin)

open coral
#

No reason not to buy now if you’re enjoying the game

gloomy ice
#

Buying expansion now would ensure that none of the potential runoff exp is wasted as well.

quasi spire
#

hmm ok

forest lark
#

How come there's no metalic white on mogstation?

hot eagle
#

it's from ishgard

#

same as gunmetal black

gloomy ice
#

Pearl white, the metallic white as it were, is only a recent addition and, yeah, it's bought in the Ishgard scrip shop.

forest lark
#

Ohh how do i access scrip shops

#

It wont let me everytime i talk with npc

leaden ginkgo
#

quickest way to get all my crafters to lvl 20 ?

gloomy ice
#

You can also find it on market board but it might be a little expensive

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm power leveling them all at ishgard then worrying about the crafting quests after.

daring cypress
#

Hey guys, any idea why an abandoned quest cant be taken again?

gloomy ice
#

@leaden ginkgo From 1-10, simply filling out the crafting log is sufficient. From there, levequests are the way to go.

leaden ginkgo
#

do levequests provide the cheapest supplies because i'm going broke by buying crap off the MB lol

gloomy ice
#

At early levels, almost everything can be bought from vendors so you'll be fine

daring cypress
#

Tried to switch between Main character and other ones, but the quest still cant be taken

#

:(

#

also restarted the game

gloomy ice
#

@daring cypress Depends on the quest. If you're short on leve allowances, you can't pick them up until you get more. If it's a seasonal quest, it's probably gone as there are no events running at present.

hot eagle
#

can easy quick synth low lvl stuff like ingots, lumbers, with cheap materials from npc for leveling to 20

faint flare
#

Which quest was it

gloomy ice
#

Which one are you running btw?

faint flare
#

You abandoned

leaden ginkgo
#

which NPcs?

daring cypress
#

@gloomy ice Hey Eton, it was a quest to access a level 24 dungeon at Gridania

hot eagle
#

also use the crafting exp scroll from your gc

daring cypress
#

@faint flare a quest to get access to a dungeon

open coral
#

MSQ @daring cypress ?

daring cypress

is that also seasonal?

not an MSQ though

Into the beast's maw

Did you try going all the way back to Buscarron?

So I've not played since 2014/15 - pre-Heavensward. I'm running through the main missions now, unlocked Blue Mage...
Don't suppose I could get a brief overview of the main classes, and what side-content has been added? I see Triple Triad is in, and... minions have stats?
I primarily played Scholar, as I liked the semi-passive healing and it was still a semi DoT class (WoW playstyle was Druid healer, Warlock damage).

Soul crystals wouldn’t affect your ability to take a quest except for the CNJ mount quest @daring cypress

@open coral Yes

And you'll get it when you do your job quest after doing slyph management and doing your job quest

@open coral Okay thank you for the info, we tried just in case haha

Did you actually abandon the quest, or did you just hide it from your active quest list?

Actually abandoned the quest

@polar bay That's a tall order but I'll try to condense it as best as I can. Blue Mage is side content. A "limited job". Can't use duty finder because a few of the spells it can learn are legitimately broken on purpose. Minions having stats is part of a minigame called Lords of Verminion in the Gold Saucer. A rts of sorts. Gold Saucer was added btw. They have chocobo racing, mini-game events every 20 minutes, triple triad, lottery, etc. Crafting and gathering has been overhauled with a lot of side content added for those classes specifically, such as ocean fishing voyages. There's a lot to list so I'll skip to the class stuff.

As of the current expansion there are four tanks, three healers, and 10 dps classes (subcategorized into 4 melee, 3 ranged physical, and 3 casters). As there are too many to go over with one post I'll ask which do you want to hear about?

polar bay
#

As I'm pretty happy with Scholar as Exactly What I Want, healer wise, a more ranged damage class with something else to bring to the table (some buffs or debuffs) would be nice. Machinist I've heard is just an awkward bard (but that was years ago), Dancer looks interesting.

Oh, crafting stuff sounds nice. Been meaning to bring my DoL classes up. And DoH, I was mostly doing Weaver to boost my DoL gear scoers

remote lintel
#

a bunch of dps classes have debuffs/dot

#

I think almost all dps classes have supportive skills

#

besides black mage and sam I think

shrewd relic
#

So I finished the MSQ and I'm combing back through to do all the unlockable side quests but it doesn't include any of the relic weapons quests. I have no idea how to unlock those, or the different levels/places that I need to go to aquire them. Is there a pinned note or website I can refer to for all of them? From ARR-SHB?

#

Like whatre anima weapons & resistance or relic weapons?

remote lintel
#

@polar bay if you want a supportive dps go with bard or dancer

little swift
#

Zodiac weapons are the relic of ARR and start in vesper bay with Nedrick Ironheart

#

Quest is A weaponsmith of legend

gloomy ice
#

@polar bay Dancer is more or less the support class of the damage dealers. In between its party buffs and its dance partner mechanic, it's far more support heavy than the others. Bard has support as well but it's mostly passive in its alternating songs. Machinist has been stripped of most of its support with the recent expansion but it's been overhauled into something completely different that doesn't feel as awkward as it did in HW.

little swift
#

Anima is heavensward relic and starts iirc idyllshire

#

hi!!, i just finished the dungeon Haukke Manor to complete Maniac Manor Side quest, but the side quest still shows the "Seek entry into Haukke Manor"... do i need to do it again?

#

Where's the vendor for Allgan tomestones of allegory?

little swift
#

Eureka weapon is the one for stormblood and starts rhalgrs? Cant remember

#

And the shadowbringers one starts in kugane but requires completion of the lvl70 alliance raids

raven sage
#

@lavish vortex Did you do normal haukke manor?

little swift
#

@shrewd relic

leaden ginkgo
#

why is lavander so expensive

raven sage
#

It wants you to talk to an npc to unlock haukke manor (hard)

#

@forest lark Eulmore

lavish vortex
#

I guess I did the normal one I’m not sure... it’s shown as competed though

polar bay
#

Thanks! Might have a look at it once I've got some more levelling done.
Also, I've not looked at the Glamour system at all. (And I'm currently filling up my Armoury Chest at a decent pace). I've heard that changed a fair bit too? Can you just turn items into transmogs to use later?

slate arrow
#

Same person as the phanta vendor, just select the allegory option

lavish vortex
shrewd relic
#

@little swift thank you! What's the stuff I hear about completing the lvl 70 alliance raids to get weapons I can use at 80?

raven sage
#

@lavish vortex Not it's not. You have to talk to the npc it wants you to

#

Select the actual quest

slate arrow
#

@shrewd relic you need to complete the Return to Ivalice quests in order to do the Resistance Weapon quest

lavish vortex
#

thats the one i did @raven sage

raven sage
#

Yes that's the wrong thing entirely

#

Like I said click the quest

#

ignore the dungeon

forest lark
#

I was at the Eulmore but there were no allagan vendors

little swift
#

@shrewd relic again thats the shadowbringers relic questline. You need to complete the lvl70 alliance raid because its story related. The quests afterwards begins the shb weapon questline

forest lark
#

Only merchants and script vendors

slate arrow
#

@forest lark did you go to the people at the long table

forest lark
#

Yeah

#

Theres no clickable npcs there

slate arrow
#

did you finish the msq quest Shadowbringers

forest lark
#

At least for me

remote lintel
#

@polar bay yes, you store items in the glamour dresser to use as cosmetics, it requires 1 glamour prism per piece

gloomy ice
#

@polar bay Yeah there's a newish feature called glamour plates, glam presets in other words. There's a dresser in your inn room where you can store gear to use for the plates. There you can also make presets. Once the item is stored in the dresser, using the plates is free and costs no further glam prisms. Also prisms have been condensed all the way down to a single universal item.

little swift
#

Both bluequest begin at the npc Keiten

lavish vortex
#

@raven sage thanks!, there was no npc, but there was a shining spot that i needed to interact with... it wasnt clear cause of the shining entrance haha, thanks!!!

#

Do I have to conpletevall shb msqbfor vendors to unlock?

hot eagle
#

yes

That's good!

slate arrow

not the patch quests

just Shadowbringers

Ohh thats probably why

Oh, the inn. I completely forgot that was a thing.

@leaden ginkgo All turn ins give bonus EXP if you turn in HQ but the starred items give more in general. NQ or HQ.

Is it worth doing the Inspector Hildebrand quests too?
Pretty sure I'm about to do Battle on the Bridge with him.

They're a fun side story

all of them?

I should've been doing HQ item turn ins

I mean with mouse I can select the focuse target mob just by clicking the focuse target window so it will select that enemy

inner heath

dpad left or right

I think to do what you'd want you need to make a macro like "blah blah blah <f>" and put that somewhere as a button or on the hotbar

you do not want min ilvl

Also reminder you can do the same thing with beast tribe currency by going to the beast tribe vendors

polar bay
#

30 ventures... much to cry about if I can't? I didn't actually level my retainers much

wintry chasm
#

30 ventures is nothing

gloomy ice
#

The promissory note for ventures can be exchanged at the calamity salvager or through your retainers themselves iirc

#

Oh minor tidbit but should help immensely. Item stack size has gone up from 99 to 999

So if you had multiple stacks or certain items, you can condense them now

If they're 80, tell them to get their 80 job gear from grendolt in the tempoest

Have a crafter make you stuff

@jovial stratus PoTD or HoH?

Palace of the dead

#

Unlocks in gridina at lv17 then you access it at quarrymill

One requires quarrymill (South Shroud) the other requires Onkoro (Ruby Sea)

Yeah POTD i did the quest to do it but idk how to like access it

You can enter as lv1 but hunting logs are faster

faint flare
#

Go to quarrymill

#

There's a npc there who ques you up

#

Next to the bridge

orchid python
#

Ok fr tho how do they do that sword wiggling thing

#

Im assuming it has to do with directional controls

faint flare
#

Just rotate left and right

orchid python
#

But it doesnt work for me

faint flare
#

With the weapon out

orchid python
#

How do you rotate

#

Idk how to do that

faint flare
#

With whatever you bound your key to to turn around

Whats that

#

Theres a keybind for that?

Some people do FATE/subquests for filler EXP while waiting

also what's a good place to buy food

city markets really

#

just buy boiled eggs or raisens for leveling

not like food stats matter till level cap raiding

alright

#

lastly: on what basis should i pick retainer class?

obsidian patio
#

In terms of combat classes they’re all the same for what items they get, just be sure to pick one you’re actively leveling up as their level cap is your current level for that class

Castrum is more xp than Ghimlyt Dark or Drowned City of Skalla?

twilit arch

yes

ok

because the lvl 70 dungeons are not intended to be used for leveling

The dungeons/trials part of the MSQ is pretty small compared to the rest of the quests. 🤷‍♂️

“Days until next rank : X “ what does it mean?

twilit arch
#

that's for veteran rewards

#

That’s true, I have started as a pugilist at the moment, but I could pick a healer class at the same time to help me with queues if they are main quest needed

mossy tartan
#

Ah

obsidian patio
#

I only ever used support for reporting people so I can’t say for certain. :/

shrewd crescent
#

New question, is it possible to share hud layout between characters?
I’m on ps4.

burnt hawk
#

What website I could use to preview appararence of some equipment ?

#

I'd like to see what the lvl 70's gear looks like.

@shrewd crescent nope

Transfer screen says I own an apartment, do I justn eed to remove all the furniture in it?

twilit arch
#

no, you need to relinquish it

faint flare
#

And talk to the apartment guys to give it up

sinful breach
#

pretty sure you dont need to relinquish the apartment 🤔 they give you 1mil when transferring servers if you own an apartment

twilit arch
sinful breach
#

relinquishing only applies to your estate

#

Has anyone else ever had an issue where you'd randomly DC in instances and get a 90002 error?
I've tried:

  • Reinstalling FFXIV
  • Used a VPN
  • Tracked the PacketLoss, without any significant results.
    I'm not sure what to do anymore.
    Its inconsistent and I have 0 hints as to why I'm having this issue.
sinful breach
#

oh i guess they changed it bc while back they refunded me my apartment and housing plot when i transferred servers 🤔 🤔 🤔

vagrant copper
#

That's only if you transfer to a new world or from congested to preferred

forest lark
#

How do I raise endless summer glassess?

#

Sunglasses*

twilit arch
#

they also waived the world transfer restrictions when they created the new datacenter

for 2weeks

@forest lark /visor

sinful breach
#

oh yeah that makes sense then

forest lark
#

Oh thx

raw zodiac
#

I cant choose which Grand company

vagrant copper
#

Immortal flames because Nanomo

raw zodiac
#

Immortal Flame seems cool, except its just sand

#

Gridania can be a pain to navigate I heard

obsidian patio
#

I like the color theme of Limsa more

#

And Gridania is definitely not issue free

leaden ginkgo
#

are there any current new worlds?

vagrant copper
#

Hmm. Do you get the tomestone reward normally associated with 50+ dungeons if you do the roulette? Not talking about the roulette bonus

twilit arch
#

@leaden ginkgo no

oak ice
#

You get that reward, yes

kindred nimbus
#

Is it worth to get job for retainers? I have 3 (planning on gathering and crafting)

oak ice
#

Nah, it only lets you equip AF gear on them

#

But if you mean combat job, then yes, those are worth it

shell arch
#

where I can get new jewelry for my level?

#

I found some npc "The Jeweled Crozier" in google, but I can't access him yet

#

i'm lvl 44

open coral
#

Don’t worry too much about jewelry levels before 50

shell arch
#

but I'm dying lol

open coral
#

Not because of accessories you’re not

#

Look first at your left side gear

rough anchor
#

a retainer can be a gunbreaker, right?

faint flare
#

Yes

kindred nimbus
#

I was thinking of changing to Maelstrom but I have some company seals left. What should I do with it? Buy ventures?

obsidian patio
#

You can get level 40-ish accessories from the vendors in the main city marketplaces

shell arch
#

I just upgraded some of those, but haven't tested how it will work yet

#

I couldn't find accessory vendor in ul'dah

#

only weapons and armor

open coral
#

Look for npcs that are Jewelry vendors

obsidian patio
#

@shell arch should be near x13.5, y9.7

shell arch

thanks

Levequests

twilit arch
#

leves

rough jolt
#

Thaaaaanks

#

❤️

mossy tartan
#

What does “unaspected damage” mean?

open coral
#

Damage of no particular element

mossy tartan
#

I see, thank you

rough jolt
#

Game tells me to finish this Leve to unlock more Leves. Im here, heres nothing and i cannot open the quest/map on the journal.

#

Wtf

#

It just says Finish Leve XXX

#

Not even what to do

open coral
#

Open the leve in your journal and click “Initiate”

gloomy ice
#

Look for the leveqeust symbol in your journal, click that quest, then Initiate through the journal

twilit arch
#

open the quest journal, select the leve quest and click on initiate

rough jolt
#

Thats what im saiyng

#

Theres nothing

twilit arch
#

look at the levequest itself, not the "Levemete of X"

#

there's a section, at the bottom of the journal for leve quests

rough jolt
#

Ohhh

#

Yeah

#

Thanks

#

Wow

#

Thats just bad UI design...

#

But thanks you guys ❤️

#

Who signed that off?

leaden ginkgo
#

You're the first person to have issues with it

rough jolt
#

Im the first person asking here, also the first person you seem to have noticed posting.

#

So don't assume

leaden ginkgo
#

OK? Chill lmao

rough jolt
#

It's still bad UI design. And thats non debatable

quasi spire
#

i've had issues with it too

twilit arch
rough jolt
#

@quasi spire WHAT. Hard to believe considering @leaden ginkgo said im the only one.

twilit arch
#

the question was asked, answered, and helped

rough jolt
#

kk

leaden ginkgo
#

Ty smug

kindred nimbus
#

IF I change grand company, is the rank and seals the only thing that I will loose? 🙂

rough jolt
#

lmao

faint flare
#

You'll keep them for when you swap back

leaden ginkgo
#

You don't lose the seals, they get saved iirc

twilit arch
#

your previous grand company rank and seals are frozen until you switch back

#

you will have to rerank and earn seals for your new grand company though

kindred nimbus
#

Oh does that include quests?

#

You don't lose the seals, they get saved iirc
@leaden ginkgo Got it confirmed from a video, however I was thinking of changing permanently 🙂

twilit arch
#

you'll have to do the specific promotion quests yeah

kindred nimbus
#

I see 🙂 thanks!

narrow arch
#

How am I hearing the Zelda soundtrack in the limnsa lominsa docks? It sounds like a jewelry box version

open coral
#

Probably a Bard using the Performance action

gloomy ice
#

That's the Bard Performance feature. Bards can play intruments

twilit arch
#

probably a bard using perform

narrow arch
#

Oh I had no idea you could preform actual music in this game

gloomy ice
#

They even give you an in game piano keyboard and a metronome.

narrow arch
#

I was like, “am I going crazy or is that Zelda music I hear?”

leaden ginkgo
#

Just a word of warning that playing non-SE music is technically against ToS

#

Because copyright

open coral
#

Licensed non-SE music

leaden ginkgo
#

Right

#

My b

obsidian patio
#

That’s more to protect SE than anything

#

Just don’t upload videos of you playing songs and you’ll be fine

narrow arch
#

Should have figured as the bard is named Link lol

mossy tartan
#

Can bards use the violin?

open coral
#

Yes

blissful matrix
#

all the things bards can play

mossy tartan
#

Thank you

blissful matrix
#

there is no violin @open coral

open coral
#

A fiddle is a violin

mossy tartan
#

Where can I see a complete list of the possible songs a bard can play through performance?

blissful matrix
#

can't really use the same choords

#

you have to play them yourself

#

they have an in-game help for a few songs

mossy tartan
#

Fantastic :>

#

how can I become a bard?

twilit arch
#

join the archer's guild in gridania and get to lvl 30

blissful matrix
#

Bard is a job at lvl 30, once you level archer to 30

mossy tartan
#

and do the instruments require me to become max level in order to play?

twilit arch
#

nope

#

you just need to become a bard, which is at lvl30

mossy tartan
#

Ok

#

Are all the instruments unlocked?

twilit arch
#

and unlock the perform action in gridania from simpkin

#

yep

blissful matrix
#

they require a sidequest once you acquire the job

mossy tartan
#

great

#

thank you

blissful matrix
mossy tartan
#

Wow, it follows the theory correctly?

#

Perfect!

blissful matrix
#

somewhat, as ive said before choords are tricky on some instruments

gloomy ice
#

Note that the fiddle is plucked and not played with a bow

blissful matrix
#

yep its for folk music

open coral
#

If you mean in the game you may be correct

#

If you mean in real life, that is entirely false

blissful matrix
#

(this is why Ive said youc annot use the violin)

open coral
#

About it only being plucked rather than played with a bow

blissful matrix
#

in game it is plucked

mossy tartan
#

Ahh, sad

#

but quite impressive

#

better than GW2’s at least

blissful matrix
#

they have wind instruments so for any notes that need to be held are good enough

leaden ginkgo
#

are lalafel players pedohiles?

blissful matrix
#

no, dont troll

mossy tartan
#

each instrument genre has 1 instrument?

blissful matrix
#

@mossy tartan wdym?

leaden ginkgo
#

not trolling just asking a genuine question

mossy tartan
#

For example, fiddle genre, does it have cello, violin, viola, etc?

faint flare
#

No cause they're adults

mossy tartan
#

Lalafell players are pure souls with a sense of twist that makes them admirable

faint flare
#

And very edible

mossy tartan
#

the “kawaii girl who’s actually the oldest” cliche it seems

lime sphinx
#

so my friend in a dungeon without a tank, can i join her?

#

queue her dungeon in progress?

leaden ginkgo
#

but shes a 500 year old vampire guyyyss

blissful matrix
#

@mossy tartan No, each instrument is standalone, but (octave) will change the tone for you

faint flare
#

If you select join party in progress then hope you get lucky

lime sphinx
#

kk

mossy tartan
#

@blissful matrix fair enough, thank you

lime sphinx
#

rarely people gonna miss a tank lol

#

like mid dungeon

faint flare
#

Ask them for how much time has gone on so you can kinda guess if you get the right party

forest lark
#

Wow... Trust is bad as a healer lol, they barely do any damage and I cant do much dmg myself

faint flare
#

As joining mid peogress tells you how much time has gone on

open coral
#

Trusts are designed to take a specific amount of time

forest lark
#

Yeah it went so slow I had to abandon

open coral
#

If you start taking too long your npcs will start casting instant death skills

forest lark
#

How long it has to pass before thwy insta kill things?

tranquil blade
#

hey im back to playing after a long break, i mostly stopped playing cuz im still at the Pre-Story but everyone tells me the story is really good, so when does the Main Story start (im Lvl25 if that helps)

blissful matrix
#

Trusts are good for dps who want to skip queues

faint flare
#

Mainly uringager casts death

mossy tartan
#

Things get exciting after level 35 I heard, welcome back! @tranquil blade

slate arrow
#

It's level 30 crafted gear

#

one second

rough jolt
#

Is it normal for Mogstation Purchases to take over an hour until you receive them?

vagrant copper
#

For account-wide stuff, sort of, yes

rough jolt
#

Yeah. The Whale

slate arrow
#

specifically, it's Goatskin stuff

#

level 20-30 crafted items

twilit arch
#

goatskin wouldn't work

#

it doesn't have the shoulders

#

if you're going to replicate wood wailer's outfit, toadskin jacket would be the closest

slate arrow
#

wood wailers have unique gear

#

they just share models with a bunch of other stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

How does one go about rearranging the attacks to different slots?

slate arrow
#

you just click and drag

twilit arch
#

you're probably going to have to use a different pair of gloves for it if you're trying to make it for non-tanks

#

since the gloves that they use are tank only or drg

#

use the toadskin jacket

slate arrow
#

you can acquire extremely similar looking gear

#

toadskin gear looks and dyes practically the same as wood wailer gear

faint quest
#

um, where can i trade my phantasmagora tomes? i cant find the merchants in eulmore

twilit arch
#

have you completed the quest "Shadowbringers"?

faint quest
#

... thats a requirement? Damn it

warped nest
#

Yeah

inner heath
#

which of the 2 retainer venture options has the faster and efficient leveling?

faint quest
#

dang it, i just wanted to turnt hese in for my 80 gather gear mats

slate arrow
#

you're not supposed to be able to get phanta tomes until you finish the quest Shadowbringers normally

warped nest
#

The 1 hour stuff is more exp, 18 hour is good when you aren't playing

twilit arch
#

Do the specific one hour ventures, every hour you're on

#

18hrs ones when you log off for the night/are away for a while

inner heath
#

oki thanks

#

yeah just did before sleeping thanks guys

queen cove
#

Was Egi Assault a ogcd before 5.2?

slate arrow
#

before 5.1

queen cove
#

Ah

twilit arch
#

5.1 made them gcds

queen cove
#

I was like theres no way you can fit 10 gcd into a trance lol

warped nest
#

Less busy rotation

queen cove
#

Trying to find a good 5.2 guide but the only one on the balance is for 5.0

warped nest
#

Make sure your doc is up to date

#

Are you sure?

slate arrow
#

did you check akh morning

#
warped nest
#

In the Balance, their SMN-resources channel is updated for 5.2

queen cove
#

Oh I was checking their website lol

#

That's why its slightly outdated

#

ty all

warped nest
#

Check the balance discord

slate arrow
#

that was your first mistake

#

the website is just an easy portal to the discord

#

otherwise it's usually out of date

queen cove
#

Oh really?

warped nest
#

Website is not well maintained

queen cove
#

gotcha

#

ty

faint flare
#

The site was recently updated

#

Fyi

slate arrow
#

sometimes by several patches

warped nest
#

Any updates happen in the discord first

lime sphinx
topaz elm
#

the higher the ilevel the more they bring back i believe

twilit arch
#

the grade soil will always be lvl 1

#

but the rest will increase with lvl/gathering stat

warped nest
#

But yeah, everything else should be higher if your retainer wears better gear

twilit arch
#

to a max of 5

lime sphinx
#

oh kk

twilit arch
#

cos those items are unspoiled node items

warped nest
#

Just give them cheap NQ gear

#

Retainer only care about ilvl
