The length of the leveling process 1-50 is comparable to the length of the leveling process in each expansion.
btw for hunting log do you need to get the kill on the mob in a dungeon?
So if I already level boosted should I just play it for the story
Is what I’m asking
Or YouTube it
Up to you
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?
It should be added to ng+
Presumably NG+ ARR will either come alongside 5.3 or in a following patch.
Only reason it isn't now is cause of the revamp
this game has newgame+?
Yes but on a different world on the server you in
@crystal bluff not how you're thinking of NG+
NG+ simply lets you replay the MSQ without needing a new character
oh
however you won't get any rewards whatsoever
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

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?
you can't get a job until you're level 30 and your job is tied to your class
get a non sense? o_O
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?
@thin abyss yes, you must finish the MSQ "Sylph-Management"
Have you done your class quests @thin abyss ?
ohhh yess that is my next quest
it's level 20.
right you will still need to do any other job quests for your base class before you get the opportunity to advance
or something
@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.
You should be doing your class quest every five levels
E.g. conjurer turns into white mage.
ohhh ok
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.
I have been doing msq and when on down time during raid quests, I do my class quests
So if you’re level 30, you should have access to or have completed the level 30 class quest
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
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?
meaning you have the full range of starting classes available.
Your ARC level won’t change
You simply learn another class.
Every job levels independently
ok my arc lvl is 29 I believe
It's common-sense rules. You're learning a new skill.
So if you picked up Arcanist, you’d be Archer 29, Arcanist 1
ok I understand it better now. This is the first MMO I am playing sooo it has been a headscratcher for me
Just remember there's no character level
This is a system unique to FFXIV
Its just whatever level your job is you're currently on
ohhh ok, so I don't need to needlessly farm stupid animals around?
No
No
But do the MSQ AND the class quests?
Yes
LuL, I have been killing a lot of stupid animals lmao
Msq locks all content basically
The MSQ should give sufficient xp to level one job
oh dear
so long as you do side quests yes
There’s no need to grind mobs though
MSQ
is the most important thing in this game (until you hit level 80).
there will be some points in which you need to do other quests but yes
ok I understand it better now
You only need side quests if youre not on a preferred I think
ok
At level 16 in the MSQ you should gain access to the Leveling dungeon daily roulette
Sidequests are worthless for exp.
Do that every day
might as well do sidequests as you're running story
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.
ok so I should do the leveling dungeon daily roulette to lvl up and do main story quests and class quests. Got it
Normal sidequests
are worthless from an xp standpoint
ok I understand it better now
Yeah I haven't done any of the normal side quests, but I have been picking up the ones with + icons
i mainly did sidequests to make exclamation marks go away
what does the sultana of uldah even do
as you're levelling some sidequest give level appropriate gear for free
otherwise yeah they're not the greatest
she exists
I think I am overleveled for the current content I am doing and I am over geared for it
what level gear do you have?
she's trying her best

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
is the sylph tribe unlocked through MSQ or do i have to do something else for them to speak to me
In summary:
Mandatory: MSQ
and your class quests.
Extremely highly recommended: most blue quests
as they unlock content, dungeons, features. Some of the features they unlock are incredibly key.
(The exception is blue quests
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
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.
You have to reach a certain point in the MSQ to unlock beast tribes
Ty
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.
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
You don’t have to complete it, again, that’s something for completionism
the GC one is necessary for promotion
But it is good xp under level 30 or so
Looking forward to playing a Viera Dancer. Can't make it male but I can make it close enough, NB gang
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?
nope its percentage based
% based?
So i have rested XP now for 30 levels?
X% on a level, regardless of level
Oooh, i see
I forget the cap. 1.5 levels I think? but not all thing use rested xp
quests or roulette bonuses don't iirc.
how do i get access to high level GC leves? do i need to do the low level ones first?
You need to rank up to Sgt 3rd class and 1st class for Whitebrim and St Coinach GC leves
i'm basically trying to grind to sgt 3rd class so i can start turning in stuff
Do GC leves give good XP? Just tried custom delivery and it's pretty meh, only like 2/5 a level for a Delivery.
No those suck
But is that adjusted to your level?
Yes.
Ah in that case its really good!
Theres no crystal bell in crystarium inn?
Nope
WhatbdidbI waste 999 gil for xd
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?
You can only do 12 a week and all crafters submit the same stuff
Submit on the stuff you wanna level
Sorry but what does 12 a week mean in this case? 🙂
Oh ok
Until you cap reputation you should also hand in only 3 at a time because the item will change as you gain reputation
Are we talking about GC turns in? Im lost xD
No this is for lvl 56+ custom deliveries
where does the reputation comes in? 🙂
Gc turn ins are once a day per crafter which Changes everyday
@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.
When you submit stuff for custom deliveries, that person reputation goes up and their story progresses
The armor and the augmentation items can be traded to Kakalan in the northern building in Revenant's Toll for the dyeable versions.
Pretty sure jimin is new and did not unlock custom deliveries yet lol
oh my bad really, I thought custom delivieres and GC turns in was the same thing 🙂
Gc turn in you can collect all the items and turn them in once every day for quick exps
To unlock it
Beast tribes are just 3 quests Daily
oh I see 🙂
Beast tribes you unlock at certain levels, some beast tribes target exp for doh/dol/battle jobs
Alright 🙂
I also read somewhere about cross-class? Do you guys know anything about it?
Cross class skills are basically gone
Only cross class left is select disciple of land skills
The Wyrm's set is just a different colour and has slightly-glowy highlights.
How hard is it to make an androgynous Viera?
hard considering no one knows what a male viera looks like

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
I'm doing "Lady of the vortex" quest
which tells me to confront garuda
but I havnt seen garuda yet inside the dungeon
Hi all, so ive been away a few months and was halfway through Shadowbringers.. Is it worth coming back or are folks too far progressed to help complete? Profile here https://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/lodestone/character/141598/
@leaden ginkgo uh. It's not a dungeon, and you will see Garuda as soon as you enter.
The MSQ goes nowhere, and duty roulette means you'll eventually get a queue for all content
Garuda is the thing you fight in Howling eye
Use the duty finder to enter the trial "The Howling Eye"
oh... wait i think I had 2 dungeons selected by mistake
so i wasnt even ever getting insde the right one
my bad
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
tl;dr roulettes, highest level dungeon, palace of the dead, squadrons
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.
Really whatever you want Bubbline otherwise it's not that chill
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.
^ I'd mix it up personally
Then there's supplementary stuff like beast tribe quests (level 41 and above), hunts (50 and above) and FATEs.
Isn't there a site that tells if one item shares the same appearance as another?
Garlandtools
That's what it was. Thank you.
garland data yes
Darn I was hoping there was a Samurai wearable version of Idealized Bhikku Cyclas
AF4 dyed gear?
What pet commands do you actually need for scholar? Controller so limited space for things I can reach comfortably.
Place, heel, whispering dawn, fey illumination and fey union
Oh yeah, I know you want the abilities, I mean the other stuff. And that's what I thought, thanks.
@devout salmon that gear is unique, but the Ala Mhigan Striking gear is somewhat similar
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
Yes
All classes are viable
Everything is viable
And everything is welcome
Provided you can press your buttons
@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.
which Duty roulette gives you the most gil?
you mean raw gil or gil in general
because expert and 80 roulettes give you materia you can sell for gil
i dont even remember those two give me materia :< , doesnt matter which one gives me more $? im very broke
How do I get to Hall of Novice?
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
I’m doing the main quest
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
if you want to get gil purely through rewards from combat, then grinding level 80 dungeons is the way to do it, no?
i know but i am so broke to the point i almost cant teleport lol
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
a materia sells for few k gils right? approximately
depends on the type and your server
I need to speak with the Seasoned Adventure at hall of noivce but the ship is blocked off, how do I get there?

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.
whatd be the fastest way to level from 67-70 as tank? nearest level dungeons or hoh?
Second option, exit Limsa Lominsa into Western Lanoscea and walk all the way
Highest level dungeons only is faster
Does Stormblood have the other expansions in it?
Stormblood would have everything except Shadowbringers
I meant shadow
Can less FPS can cause the game to crash?
Yes. Purchasing Shadowbringers would include Heavensward and Stormblood
Yo, can some DRK Gamepad players show me their C-bars please?
Lower FPS could be a symptom of something that would cause your game to crash, but wouldn’t be a direct cause
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 🙂
does everyone see waymarks and signs?
like if i put waymark and sign me in east shroud do others see them
Only people in your party
People in your party do
Whats the difference between a normal enemy cast bar and a red one?
Then only you can see it
Pulsating cast bars can be interupted with skills like Interject and Head graze
Is there a difference between those abilities to interrupt and Leg Sweep?
Let sweep stuns mobs and a fair amount of stuff after ARR is immune to stun
While interupt works regardless of resistances
Ahaa ok thank you
I found a guy with an orange name, is it a GM?
They're someone on your friend list
wut
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.
GMs have a shadowy aura around them if you do ever see one
And clearly have a GM tag

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 ^_^
do Ishgard Restoration. mats are relatively affordable and you can easily push to 80 with it
I'm there atm actually!
I misread your question haha
electrum ingots from what I have seen sell well
think those are GSM
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
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 😅
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
Theres "/" commands for each chat
Just doing /p and nothing else and sending that defaults chat to party
Is there anyway to sort out gear thats at full spiritbond in your inventory?
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
at what level difference do aggressive enemies not target you?
@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
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?
@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
Well if you buy up to Stormblood you can unlock Samurai and Red Mage at level 50
im on steam so its shadowbringers or nothing
Well that's fine. All three expansions then.
and id rather stick with my current class (paladin)
No reason not to buy now if you’re enjoying the game
Buying expansion now would ensure that none of the potential runoff exp is wasted as well.
hmm ok
How come there's no metalic white on mogstation?
Pearl white, the metallic white as it were, is only a recent addition and, yeah, it's bought in the Ishgard scrip shop.
quickest way to get all my crafters to lvl 20 ?
You can also find it on market board but it might be a little expensive
I'm power leveling them all at ishgard then worrying about the crafting quests after.
Hey guys, any idea why an abandoned quest cant be taken again?
@leaden ginkgo From 1-10, simply filling out the crafting log is sufficient. From there, levequests are the way to go.
do levequests provide the cheapest supplies because i'm going broke by buying crap off the MB lol
At early levels, almost everything can be bought from vendors so you'll be fine
Tried to switch between Main character and other ones, but the quest still cant be taken
:(
also restarted the game
@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.
can easy quick synth low lvl stuff like ingots, lumbers, with cheap materials from npc for leveling to 20
Which quest was it
Which one are you running btw?
You abandoned
which NPcs?

@gloomy ice Hey Eton, it was a quest to access a level 24 dungeon at Gridania
also use the crafting exp scroll from your gc
@faint flare a quest to get access to a dungeon
MSQ @daring cypress ?
Level 24 dungeon is a part of the story quests and can't be abandoned
is the name of the quest
That’s part of the MSQ
hmm okay
Is there a lower level cap if I only have base game?
thanks
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).
Is 70 shadowbringer cap?
80
okay, thanks
What is a Soul Crystaland how do I obtain one?
Its your job crystal
Oh
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
Hey; I'm the one she's helping with this. I didn't know there was a FF14 discord. 😄 Hello.
I completely abandoned the quest by accident.
Welcome Kenny~~
You need to be promoted in the GC before you can take on hunts
@vocal lodge Can you take a screenshot of your quest Journal and show us here?
it's a fairly early rank fortunately
@open coral Sure, paste it right here?
You need to be promoted in the GC before you can take on hunts
@slate arrow to be promoted it says I need to do hunts
Yep
@slate arrow to be promoted it says I need to do hunts
@leaden ginkgo check your hunt log
Hunts are not the same as your hunting log
Okay, you just need to go do the quest Microbrewing @vocal lodge
How do I buy a house..
Find a open plot
@open coral Even though I already had the 'into the maw' active at one point? O:
@calm dock second lieutenant in your Grand Company and approximately 1-2million gil
Yes
And spam the placard and hope the invisible timer isnup
Thanks!
@open coral Thank you so much Aura :)
Okay, thank you Aura. I will do it now and update. I didn't think it had anything to do with MSQ.
Microbrewing is the prerequisite for
I’ve never seen that happen before, but it looks like the game just rolled you back to the previous quest
I appreciate it. I'll go do Micro (Haven't done before) and let you know! o7

@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?
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
a bunch of dps classes have debuffs/dot
I think almost all dps classes have supportive skills
besides black mage and sam I think
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?
@polar bay if you want a supportive dps go with bard or dancer
Zodiac weapons are the relic of ARR and start in vesper bay with Nedrick Ironheart
Quest is A weaponsmith of legend
@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.
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?
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
@lavish vortex Did you do normal haukke manor?
@shrewd relic
why is lavander so expensive
It wants you to talk to an npc to unlock haukke manor (hard)
@forest lark Eulmore
I guess I did the normal one I’m not sure... it’s shown as competed though
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?
Same person as the phanta vendor, just select the allegory option
@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?
@lavish vortex Not it's not. You have to talk to the npc it wants you to
Select the actual quest
@shrewd relic you need to complete the Return to Ivalice quests in order to do the Resistance Weapon quest
thats the one i did @raven sage
I was at the Eulmore but there were no allagan vendors
@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
Only merchants and script vendors
@forest lark did you go to the people at the long table
did you finish the
quest Shadowbringers
At least for me
@polar bay yes, you store items in the glamour dresser to use as cosmetics, it requires 1 glamour prism per piece
@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.
Both
begin at the npc Keiten
@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?
yes
That's good!
Ohh thats probably why
lmao
Oh, the inn. I completely forgot that was a thing.
Thanks for all this. I'm over 5 years out, so I'm sure there's more I've missed out on/forgotten.
Currently doing the ARR -> Heavensward quests. On Good Intentions currently, just done Shiva.
Nice. You're in for a wild ride with the next set
only GC quests with a star give bonus exp if u turn in HQ items?
I did change my character to an Au Ra, thinking of going back to Miq'
@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
Hildebrand is side content meant for comedy, mostly
They also unlock some fun things and cosmetics
It’s a nice, lighthearted break from the heavy msq
@leaden ginkgo All turn ins give bonus EXP if you turn in HQ but the starred items give more in general. NQ or HQ.
@gloomy ice how much more exp does do HQ items give
double the exp
yes
I should've been doing HQ item turn ins
You end up with too much exp anyway on lower level crafts
And higher levels require HQ anyway
(At least around 30, which is as far as I've gotten)
Yes
@open coral Thanks again. I did like 3 of the MSQ and it unlocked again. Dunno why I had it earlier but I appreciate your help. We're all good now 😄 Take care!
Hi, im new to the game and still deciding if i should sub to it or not. i got a lvl 14 gladiator on phoenix and im looking for people to group up with and all that. i hope this is the right channel for that
what should i do to the low collectability Grade 2 Skybuilder aloy?
@vital agate #recruitment-light or #eu-datacenters might be more where you're looking for
oh ok thanks 🙂
But you can still group up with people using the in game duty finder @vital agate
If you made an item that's too low in collectability to turn in then you can't do much with it outside of trashing it @inner heath
hey, so is there a way to target the focuse target on an controller? cuz I can just use my mouse to click the focuse target window and it will select the mob, how do I do that with an controller?
I’m a WHM and I have to selsect my party to heal
Personally I use the dpad on my controller to select my part members
Can I farm old primal mounts unsyncd
L1 and R1 to cycle enemies
The Armoire: I've got 4 bits of Scholar gear in there (head, legs, hands, shoes) but not the chest, and not the Summoner gear. What causes it to appear there?
I mean with mouse I can select the focuse target mob just by clicking the focuse target window so it will select that enemy
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
for enemies
The level 45 job quest gives four pieces, with the chest being given as part of the level 50 quest
equipment goes to armory by default @polar bay
I see
dpad up down for team
That's not what they are asking though Yato
Aha, turns out it was in my inventory. I can store it in there from my Armoury Chest
@hazy harbor - The Armoire in the Inn
thats what i use to target using controller
dpad up and down for team and left or right for enemies
where can I buy bait in laminso
that is what I use too
How do you unsync so I can solo a arr primal...
Undersized party and minimum il checked?
Ok
but the thing is with mouse I can click on the focuse target UI and it will select the enemy that is in the window
xd
Just undersized party gotcha
Min ilevel is like, challenge mode
And I just click the trial I want and join and just me will go in?
Can’t solo that
Yes Scrump
Awesome
so I guess I need an macro then :/
Just use the touchpad to click the focus target
I use an xbox one controller
Uhhh, from memory I think the fisher guild and hawker's alley probably @leaden ginkgo
🤔
You mean use the touchpad as a mouse to click the UI?
yeah but I use an xbox one
so I don’t have that option only if I activate it but it’s clunky
is there a way to remove (or at least tone down) the visual effects of other players skills in duties and raids?
Well I was going to say that's a terrible idea anyway
Yes
Yeah
ty
I guess I will have to cicle through the mobs unti I select the focuse targeted mob
Materia: So all mine is now dummy materia, but can still be used to "deliver materia infused item" quests. Can I still Materia-ise my spiritbound items?
- Yes
- Yes you can still gain materia from spiritbound items
unlike before though it doesn't destroy the item
Ooh, that's nice.
Ventures and my Grade 5 glamour prisms - where do I exchange them for the current versions?
The....calamity salvager
I frankly don't remember if you even still can
but that was where you could do it
Also reminder you can do the same thing with beast tribe currency by going to the beast tribe vendors
30 ventures... much to cry about if I can't? I didn't actually level my retainers much
30 ventures is nothing
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

why can't I do this?
not a stack of 10
ohhh
My map doesnt work
Yeah, I sold my whole retainer inventory barring a few things. I went a bit overboard on crafting materials before
Also I lost a house 5 years back, which has soured me a bit on returning
How long does it take until new Slots on a server are free? My friend wants to play on our server, but Shiva is full. wtf lol
@rough jolt try middle of the night
If a friend deletes a char from shiva, can my buddy join?
It's not congested so it's just based on total amount logged in at once
so what Water said
When less people are online
It's not an issue of how many characters are registered on that server
deleting a character would do nothing
Hm allright
Kinda sad since we wanted to play all day, and now the download is finished...
Basically you need a lot of people to log off
Yeah well it shouldn't be that long till it gets to a late time
Shouldn't have to be wait a whole day or anything
:c
My server, Lich, has a login queue but also is Preferred? Is it just the comeback campaign or is something else up?
Queues are just the way the login servers handle high numbers of players
It’s not anything special
Whats some of the best ways to level up
For your first job or for an alt job?
im trying to make my ui more pleasing, are there any pet orders that never get used (like sic, away, guard, etc.)
And for what role?
Hey guys question
my friend is stuck with paladin at level 72 gear 392
he can't buy anything higher and his quests are locked requiring 395
is there anywhere he can get a 400 piece to bump it?
he can upgrade the ilvl 390 poetics gear to ilvl400
If they're 80, tell them to get their 80 job gear from grendolt in the tempoest
Or yeah do that
Read what i've posted..
righto
Have a crafter make you stuff
oh right yes crafters
Should be able to make accessories rhat would boop his ilvl up
MSQ should also be giving gear as well
@open coral rouge and first job
@jovial stratus for your first job, just do the msq
and daily roulettes to level
Could also be a (bad) alt transfer
(Evil)
O yea forgot to ask my question, i saw this SAM in gold saucer wiggling his sword left n right how u do that
@orchid shard its also against TOS to gil trade
Those are usually gil thats being illegaly sold for irl money
Someone told me to do this randomly generated dungeon thingy and idk how to access it
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
One is for level 1-60 the other is 61-70
Ok fr tho how do they do that sword wiggling thing
Im assuming it has to do with directional controls
Just rotate left and right
But it doesnt work for me
With the weapon out
With whatever you bound your key to to turn around
Q or E default...or A and D
:0 turning? Like the camera turn?
what all is possible to do while finding a duty
Pretty much anything thats not duty related like solo instances and stuff
Or world hop
So fates, crafting, quests, leves (though if it pops during a leve you'll have to abandon the leve) etc
Some people do crafting/gathering if it's a longer wait
Some people do FATE/subquests for filler EXP while waiting
city markets really
just buy boiled eggs or raisens for leveling
not like food stats matter till level cap raiding
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
What determines when you can roll need on loot
They can upgrade into their job, but it only allows them to wear the job-specific stuff
When you can use that piece of gear on your job
Oh ok how do I access the hunting log?

@jovial stratus Logs > Hunting Log
Oh ok thanks
Is there an updated guide for ishgard restoration 2.0?
I have my crafters at 60 and its so confusing how to gather in the diadem and macros
@obsidian patio I love you
Urgh no one do lvl50 extreme trials anymore? 90mins of waiting i jus wan to clear once only
if you want to do the lvl 50 extreme trials, you should make a party finder group and do it unsync
as most people generally aren't going to ARR ex trials sync'd
If you're on JP make sure to enable the Japanese language option but even then I wouldn't recommend using party finder
what's the highest exp-yielding level 70 dungeon pre-ShB ?
None of them
huh ?
do the level 69 (haha nice) dungeon for exp
Dungeons at level caps are non-leveling dungeons and do not yield any significant amount of xp
Hey so, I have high ping but I can weave on most classes relatively well. Is there a reason weaving of any kind with MCH feels so...unresponsive?
and gives better exp than the lvl 70 dungeons
Castrum is more xp than Ghimlyt Dark or Drowned City of Skalla?
yes
ok
because the lvl 70 dungeons are not intended to be used for leveling
ok
the exp is just tacked on
👍
Which Grand Company is better? Or does it matter? 🙂
Doesn’t matter
Some people told me Limsa Lominsa is better for some reason
That I dont know, thought you guys might know 🙂
Are Fc's realm specific? If I wanted to move to a different home, would I not be able to stayi n the same FC?
People like Maelstrom because the markets are closest to the aetheryte
yes, they are yelgi
Awww.
oh which one is Maelstrom?
Limsa
You need to hit Lietenant in your current one then you can switch
When you switch, you’ll start from the beginning with the new GC, but maintain your rank with your previous one
youll retain your previous rank but youll need to hit Lieutenant to switch back
Is there an faq of things youl ose when going to a different home server?
ooh alright! Thanks! 🙂
!faq worldvisit
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
@white sinew once per account
If you’re talking about transferring, as long as it’s within your datacenter you’ll only lose your FC and any server-based linkshells
Hm, I need t olook up how expensive transfers are whne I'm out of this roulette.
If i started a new character, and picked a healer class, would that class help me get through the story fastest?
Going with the “healers queue faster in dungeons” mentality.
Not especially?
You can always just pick up a healing class on your current character
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?
that's for veteran rewards
written bottom right on character screen
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
Ah
I only ever used support for reporting people so I can’t say for certain. :/
New question, is it possible to share hud layout between characters?
I’m on ps4.
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
Darn

Transfer screen says I own an apartment, do I justn eed to remove all the furniture in it?
no, you need to relinquish it
And talk to the apartment guys to give it up
pretty sure you dont need to relinquish the apartment 🤔 they give you 1mil when transferring servers if you own an apartment
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.
oh i guess they changed it bc while back they refunded me my apartment and housing plot when i transferred servers 🤔 🤔 🤔
That's only if you transfer to a new world or from congested to preferred
they also waived the world transfer restrictions when they created the new datacenter
for 2weeks
@forest lark /visor
oh yeah that makes sense then
Oh thx
I cant choose which Grand company
Immortal flames because Nanomo
Immortal Flame seems cool, except its just sand
Gridania can be a pain to navigate I heard
are there any current new worlds?
Hmm. Do you get the tomestone reward normally associated with 50+ dungeons if you do the roulette? Not talking about the roulette bonus
@leaden ginkgo no
You get that reward, yes
Is it worth to get job for retainers? I have 3 (planning on gathering and crafting)
Nah, it only lets you equip AF gear on them
But if you mean combat job, then yes, those are worth it
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
Don’t worry too much about jewelry levels before 50
but I'm dying lol
a retainer can be a gunbreaker, right?
Yes
I was thinking of changing to Maelstrom but I have some company seals left. What should I do with it? Buy ventures?
You can get level 40-ish accessories from the vendors in the main city marketplaces
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
Look for npcs that are Jewelry vendors
@shell arch should be near x13.5, y9.7
thanks
What are these called in english?
Levequests
leves
What does “unaspected damage” mean?
Damage of no particular element
I see, thank you
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 the leve in your journal and click “Initiate”
Look for the leveqeust symbol in your journal, click that quest, then Initiate through the journal
open the quest journal, select the leve quest and click on initiate
look at the levequest itself, not the "Levemete of X"
there's a section, at the bottom of the journal for leve quests
Ohhh
Yeah
Thanks
Wow
Thats just bad UI design...
But thanks you guys ❤️
Who signed that off?
You're the first person to have issues with it
Im the first person asking here, also the first person you seem to have noticed posting.
So don't assume
OK? Chill lmao
It's still bad UI design. And thats non debatable
i've had issues with it too
take it to #general-discussion or #rants
@quasi spire WHAT. Hard to believe considering @leaden ginkgo said im the only one.
the question was asked, answered, and helped
kk
Ty smug
IF I change grand company, is the rank and seals the only thing that I will loose? 🙂
lmao
You'll keep them for when you swap back
You don't lose the seals, they get saved iirc
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
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 🙂
you'll have to do the specific promotion quests yeah
I see 🙂 thanks!
How am I hearing the Zelda soundtrack in the limnsa lominsa docks? It sounds like a jewelry box version
Probably a Bard using the Performance action
That's the Bard Performance feature. Bards can play intruments
probably a bard using perform
Oh I had no idea you could preform actual music in this game
They even give you an in game piano keyboard and a metronome.
I was like, “am I going crazy or is that Zelda music I hear?”
Just a word of warning that playing non-SE music is technically against ToS
Because copyright
Licensed non-SE music
That’s more to protect SE than anything
Just don’t upload videos of you playing songs and you’ll be fine
Should have figured as the bard is named Link lol
Can bards use the violin?
Yes
Thank you
there is no violin @open coral
A fiddle is a violin
Where can I see a complete list of the possible songs a bard can play through performance?
can't really use the same choords
you have to play them yourself
they have an in-game help for a few songs
join the archer's guild in gridania and get to lvl 30
Bard is a job at lvl 30, once you level archer to 30
and do the instruments require me to become max level in order to play?
they require a sidequest once you acquire the job
@mossy tartan how it looks to the bard (notes and keybinds)
somewhat, as ive said before choords are tricky on some instruments
Note that the fiddle is plucked and not played with a bow
yep its for folk music
If you mean in the game you may be correct
If you mean in real life, that is entirely false
(this is why Ive said youc annot use the violin)
About it only being plucked rather than played with a bow
in game it is plucked

they have wind instruments so for any notes that need to be held are good enough
are lalafel players pedohiles?
no, dont troll
each instrument genre has 1 instrument?
@mossy tartan wdym?
not trolling just asking a genuine question
For example, fiddle genre, does it have cello, violin, viola, etc?
No cause they're adults
Lalafell players are pure souls with a sense of twist that makes them admirable
And very edible
so my friend in a dungeon without a tank, can i join her?
queue her dungeon in progress?
but shes a 500 year old vampire guyyyss
@mossy tartan No, each instrument is standalone, but (octave) will change the tone for you
If you select join party in progress then hope you get lucky
kk
@blissful matrix fair enough, thank you
Ask them for how much time has gone on so you can kinda guess if you get the right party
Wow... Trust is bad as a healer lol, they barely do any damage and I cant do much dmg myself
As joining mid peogress tells you how much time has gone on
Trusts are designed to take a specific amount of time
Yeah it went so slow I had to abandon
If you start taking too long your npcs will start casting instant death skills
How long it has to pass before thwy insta kill things?
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)
Trusts are good for dps who want to skip queues
Mainly uringager casts death
Things get exciting after level 35 I heard, welcome back! @tranquil blade
Is it normal for Mogstation Purchases to take over an hour until you receive them?
For account-wide stuff, sort of, yes
Yeah. The Whale
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
How does one go about rearranging the attacks to different slots?
you just click and drag
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
you can acquire extremely similar looking gear
toadskin gear looks and dyes practically the same as wood wailer gear
um, where can i trade my phantasmagora tomes? i cant find the merchants in eulmore
have you completed the quest "Shadowbringers"?
... thats a requirement? Damn it
Yeah
which of the 2 retainer venture options has the faster and efficient leveling?
dang it, i just wanted to turnt hese in for my 80 gather gear mats
you're not supposed to be able to get phanta tomes until you finish the quest Shadowbringers normally
The 1 hour stuff is more exp, 18 hour is good when you aren't playing
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
Was Egi Assault a ogcd before 5.2?
before 5.1
Ah
5.1 made them gcds
I was like theres no way you can fit 10 gcd into a trance lol
Less busy rotation
Trying to find a good 5.2 guide but the only one on the balance is for 5.0
did you check akh morning
One of most frequently asked questions is: What is an example of a good opener? While they form only fraction of total fight time, for Summoner the opener is very important to set the scene for all of our timings. In this section we’ll cover:
In the Balance, their SMN-resources channel is updated for 5.2
Check the balance discord
that was your first mistake
the website is just an easy portal to the discord
otherwise it's usually out of date
Oh really?
Website is not well maintained
sometimes by several patches
Any updates happen in the discord first
is it normal that he only brings back 1 ?
the higher the ilevel the more they bring back i believe
the grade soil will always be lvl 1
but the rest will increase with lvl/gathering stat
But yeah, everything else should be higher if your retainer wears better gear
to a max of 5
oh kk
cos those items are unspoiled node items
