junior yacht
#

casting Doton while it's still active just resets its duration and location

#

instances of Doton from separate ninjas do stack

silk summit
#

So at level 30 monk do I just spam arm of the destroyer for my aoe or am I supposed to go arm -> twin snakes/true strike -> rockbreaker?

junior yacht
#

the second one

silk summit
#

Alright

#

So clunky lol

junior yacht
#

it's kinda awkward until you get Four-point Fury, yes

leaden ginkgo
#

If it helps, from what I've heard that's not the only class with that kind of skill leveling issue (getting them at wierd times). So it's definitely possible they revamp it sometime in the near future (though given the slowdown on updates, that could end up being a year XP)

scenic orbit
#

So I'm lvl 20 now as a conjurer and am wondering what to do with all the old gear and weapons in my inventory. I haven't found a place to easily sell them. What are you supposed to do with it all?

slate arrow
#

just vendor them

junior yacht
#

honestly? just toss it

#

the gil it sells for is chump change

scenic orbit
#

Can't I high alch it

junior yacht
#

i don't know what you mean by that

slate arrow
#

such a thing doesn't exist in FFXIV whatever it is

scenic orbit
#

Ok I guess I'll drop it all then. Is there any way of knowing when I should start holding on to my gear to sell

remote lintel
#

do you mean desynth it?

junior yacht
#

there's never really a point where gear sells for a meaningful amount

#

later gear can't be sold at all

chilly spear
#

Hey, I'm sort of just wondering where should I put down a sort of advertisement that I'm looking for people to sign/join my new FC? I assume in #603040697884475393, but I want to make sure if that's the right channel or if it's allowed at all for that sort of advertisement

junior yacht
#

the only reason i'd suggest hanging onto gear is if it's compatible with another job you want to level

scenic orbit
#

Can it be broken down for parts or something then

vagrant copper
#

@chilly spear That would be the place

slate arrow
#

that's desynth

junior yacht
#

yes, that's desynth

scenic orbit
#

Shouldn't I do that?

slate arrow
#

but you need the relevant crafter at level 30 first

scenic orbit
#

"Relevant" crafter?

slate arrow
#

which is a chore in itself, especially when you don't have much gil

#

you need the crafter listed

#

hovering over the gear piece will tell you details at the bottom

scenic orbit
#

Well I hate to break the news to everyone here but I actually have 15, 631 gil

slate arrow
#

that's pennies, please don't spend it all trying to level crafters

sage plaza
#

15631 gil?

scenic orbit
#

Yeah

sage plaza
#

my goodness, go dance in limsa and you'll triple that easily

slate arrow
#

(that's a joke, I think)

#

But yeah it's normal for an average player to have at least a million gil

scenic orbit
slate arrow
#

so just keep at the MSQ

#

there's never a point in the game where gear is unobtainable again

junior yacht
#

there's a symbol on any given gear's info window showing what crafter it was made by, and therefore would be desynth'd by

scenic orbit
#

So I become a relative crafter at 30

junior yacht
#

no

#

"relevant"

slate arrow
#

Each item has a specific crafter associated with it

vagrant copper
#

Armorer Lv. 40

slate arrow
#

That crafter is required to be leveled in order to repair, meld materia, or desynth it

junior yacht
#

the level doesn't matter, as long as you're at least 30

#

but to desynth that gear, you have to have Armorer leveled

#

and so on and so forth

slate arrow
#

It's also completely optional side content, so I recommend just focusing the MSQ for now

opaque gulch
#

quick question, sorry for interrupting, but when farming primal mounts do you roll for them when they drop?

junior yacht
#

yes

#

bring people you trust

#

ideally people who already have the mount

twilit arch
#

assuming you're in a group, yes

opaque gulch
#

that makes sense, thank you!

junior yacht
#

if you're soloing it will drop straight into your inventory

#

might be a better option if you can't build a party of people you trust not to pull it out from under you haha

opaque gulch
#

was planning on just doing it with randos and seeing if I get lucky :p but ty for the info

leaden ginkgo
#

how fast does the fastest end-game gold earning go

junior yacht
#

you can make a lot of gil pretty fast

slate arrow
#

very fast considering you can get gold ore really quickly

leaden ginkgo
#

how much

#

gil

junior yacht
#

kinda depends on the server

slate arrow
#

entirely depends on how much you play the marketboard

#

and how good you are at economic analysis

scenic orbit
#

Will I ever need monoa mask again or can I discard it

slate arrow
#

you can discard it

#

if it's a unique quest reward you can rebuy them from the calamity salvager for 1k Gil each

scenic orbit
#

Ah ok

blissful vector
#

I looked at all the other posts and tried DNS, Reinstall, Firewall Off (everything I can find)
any updates on dealing with this?

scenic orbit
nova copper
#

Can I change the name of my free company I founded?

vagrant copper
#

Part of a gearset @scenic orbit

mossy current
#

It's in a gearset, Grave

#

I love autocorrect

nova copper
karmic jolt
#

When doing Palace of the Dead is the progress tracked for the character or is it job specific? Can I queue into level 50-60 with every job or do I have to re-grind down to that level with each job.

vagrant copper
#

Once you get to level 51, you can start at level 51 with any job

karmic jolt
#

Awesome, does the same thing work with Heaven on High? I'm doing the grind through Palace now to get to Heaven.

vagrant copper
#

๐Ÿคทโ€โ™‚๏ธ I'd assume so.

karmic jolt
#

I'll have to find out when I get there, super thanks

twilit arch
#

yes it works the same in heaven on high

jade quartz
#

@nova copper yes, FC names can be changed with a 30-day cooldown before changing it again.

wind kindle
#

Is this the right channel to ask beginner questions?

twilit arch
#

yes

wind kindle
#

Where can I find guilds/clans listing? I'd like to join a novice-friendly guild/clan cause I'm new to the game like a literally started 2 hours ago.

jade quartz
#

Finding a FC usually just happens organically as you make random friends.

vagrant copper
#

#recruitment-aether will have posts. The FF14 forums will have posts. Otherwise you just have to find one in game by talking to people or visiting houses or whatever

wind kindle
#

I see. Thank you very much. I appreciate it. Some guy from Reddit just invited me to play the game where he did an AMA so here I am. Thank you.

drifting burrow
#

my botanist's level 77 rn, what's the best way for me to level to 80 in 5 hours? diadem's taking too long :'c

karmic jolt
#

And there is a 'Playguide' button in game that links to the official FF14 website. That's a great place to get started

vagrant copper
#

Or just hang out in Limsa with a sprout icon and you'll get like 10 an hour

jade quartz
#

As a new player you will also probably be invited to the Novice Network soon

#

This is a server-wide chat channel for asking questions, but your experience in there may vary depending on your server.

#

Some places' NNs are just shitpostfests and drama.

wind kindle
#

I see. I guess it wouldn't hurt to just ask here, yes?

crimson crystal
#

If I gave my friend a raf code, where/when do they enter it?

nova copper
#

Can I rebind L1 to lock on to enemy on PS4

vagrant copper
jade quartz
#

Under your account -> Enter Recruitment Code

crimson crystal
#

Ah thank you!

barren galleon
#

Got a lvl 70 scholar and 78 DRG, what dungeon is good to solo for seals? (recommendations please)

silk summit
#

Is there anything in the gold saucer that the vip buff doesn't effect? The lottery, I'd assume?

spring nimbus
#

Where do you guys go to find hunt trains

You could also shout in popular areas for a link to a hunt linkshell

spring nimbus
#

tyty

jade quartz
#

Hold up @spring nimbus

#

For your DC specifically.

barren galleon
#

What's a good dungeon to solo for seals?

little swift
#

GC seals?

#

Sohm Al hard i suppose

vernal plover
#

Whats the difference between a fellowship and a free company?

little swift
#

fellowships are like message boards

#

free company's are more like your typical MMO guild

#

they provide buffs, can own a FC House and are social (mostly)

vernal plover
#

Ahh okay, I take it there's a level requirement for unlocking free companies

little swift
#

to join one?

#

someone just has to invite you

#

or you can apply

junior yacht
#

yeah there's no level requirement

barren galleon
#

@little swift cheers ^^, been doing stone vigil but it's not yielding much

junior yacht
#

there is if you want to form one

little swift
#

its lvl 25 and be in a grand company ^

lethal schooner
#

Is there any missable item that can be only obtained from DOH/DOL main quest?

little swift
#

there are important skills/traits that you miss out on

junior yacht
#

no items

#

just abilities

little swift
#

!trait quality assurance

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Quality Assurance** : lvl 63 CRP

Slightly increases chances of material condition becoming Good.

little swift
#

!action manipulation

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Manipulation** : lvl 65 CRP (96 CP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Restores 5 points of durability after each step for the next eight steps.

little swift
#

!trait enhanced gp regeneration

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Enhanced GP Regeneration** : lvl 70 MIN

Raises base GP regeneration rate by one.

little swift
#

!trait unearth master

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Unearth Mastery** : lvl 63 MIN

Upgrades Unearth II to Unearth III.

little swift
#

those kinda things

lethal schooner
#

I assume it's all post level 50 quest then?

little swift
#

yes but you have to go through the pre-50 quests to get to them

lethal schooner
#

I see. Ok then. Thanks for the info

wind kindle
#

Are there any disadvantages if I try to use every class in one character? I read from the Subreddit that I can use all classes in one character meaning I don't need to make more characters just to grind them again. That's neat, but is there any catch to it? Or nah?

remote lintel
#

no

wind kindle
#

I see. Cause that seemed too good to be true. Alright, thank you!

vagrant copper
#

The catch is that it ruins other MMOs for you

wind kindle
#

Yeah, that's also what I felt when I read that specific info.

gloomy ice
#

Gear chest space might get a little tight as well if you're working on absolutely everything at once.

#

But even that is manageable in the end

remote lintel
#

chocobo saddlebag

junior yacht
#

you can usually keep gear bloat under control by just leveling one role at a time

wind kindle
#

Yeah, planning to go full Balthier first then move onto the other classes.

remote lintel
#

you need to reach the first dlc before you can be a machinist

wind kindle
#

Yeah, read it from the subreddit, reach level 50 and all A Realm Reborn quests then enter Ishgard, I believe is the name of the location.

remote lintel
#

thats right

junior yacht
#

correct

remote lintel
#

ishgard is the main city of the first dlc

little swift
#

that is correct

wind kindle
#

I see. I guess I will have a ton of side-quests and story to cover, I'm sure I'll enjoy it though even though I'll go through it alone. Like playing Singleplayer FF again. Love it.

little swift
#

ignore most of the sidequest unless you really want to see worldbuildy filler

remote lintel
#

you'll have to play with other people for some things

#

but besides that it's mostly single player

wind kindle
#

Ignore the Sidequests, @little swift , why?

little swift
#

they're mostly worldbuilding filler @wind kindle

remote lintel
#

at a certain point they don't give a lot of exp anymore

little swift
#

exp/rewards kinda blow

wind kindle
#

I see, a little bit of playing with other players won't hurt. That will feel like having Guest Members in the party ๐Ÿ˜„

valid knoll
#

I need some help, one of my friends bought FFXIV through steam, and now he's trying to login to his square enix account in the launcher to activate his registration code, but when he puts the info in it always comes back as invalid. we think it's because we don't know what his ID is, so I ask how can one figure out their se id?

little swift
#

do the msq and the bluequest

remote lintel
#

@valid knoll it's what they registered with as their "username"

wind kindle
#

@little swift , I see. Wouldn't it hurt if I don't do sidequests? I got used to doing sidequests from playing FF titles and other RPGs.

little swift
#

nope

remote lintel
#

it wouldn't

#

they're completely optional

little swift
#

bulk of your first job/classes exp is dungeons/ MSQ rewards

remote lintel
#

@valid knoll they can do "forgot ID or password" on the login page

little swift
#

he needs to register the code online via the mogstation as well

vagrant copper
#

Some sidequests provide minions and emotes which are the only really special things. The rest just give you a small amount of gil, XP, and maybe some non-special loot.

wind kindle
#

Wouldn't there be missables if I don't do them? Or atleast help me get more gil along the way?

valid knoll
#

i think he just got it by just making an account through the launcher lol

little swift
#

thats fine aswell

#

@wind kindle

#

there are very few missables

gloomy ice
#

Aside from seasonal events, no quest is permanently missable aside from a small handful in the current expansion that have branching chains.

little swift
#

a couple of cosmetic stuff at best

vagrant copper
#

66, it's difficult to emphasize how poor the rewards really are for sidequests (besides the occasional special stuff). The gil and XP reaaaaly don't matter much past level 20 or so

wind kindle
#

I see. So, just by doing the Main Quest, it wouldn't hurt the long run? Like I wouldn't be underlevel in any circumstanses?

little swift
#

there's a couple of minions/mounts/emotes but those can be obtained later when you can complete the quests more quickly

remote lintel
#

to level up you do dungeons

#

not sidequests

little swift
#

the only circumstance is literally right at the start of the game

#

but even then, by 5.3 i'm hoping they get rid of that

remote lintel
#

also the blue sidequests bluequest are important, but not the regular sidequest quests

#

the blue quests unlock content

little swift
#

bluequests unlock stuff

wind kindle
#

I'm sorry, @remote lintel , I was looking at the game like I am playing an FF singleplayer, I forgot it is an MMORPG.

remote lintel
#

lol that's alright

wind kindle
#

Alright, I'll focus on Main Quests and the Unlocking Quests.

junior yacht
#

side quests are mainly there for fun/lore/killing time

little swift
#

the unlocking quests you can ignore are teh "so you want to be X" or "leves of Y" if you don't want to do those

wind kindle
#

Enjoy the story like a Singleplayer Game and Party with people and treat them like Guest Members ๐Ÿ˜„

junior yacht
#

and are not a good source of EXP on their own

little swift
#

nah treat them like actual people

#

they can give valuable advice

#

or be silly

wind kindle
#

I don't mean it that way. Sorry, ofcourse, I'll still treat like real people.

junior yacht
#

nah we know what you meant :V

wind kindle
#

It's just the feeling like having Guest Members that you can interact with like in all FF titles.

remote lintel
#

theyre teasing

#

be sure to play the game at your own pace and enjoy the story

#

it's a doozy

little swift
#

most importantly though, play to enjoy the game not blow through it for endgame

wind kindle
#

Yeah, I will.. I just can't believe I've been neglecting to play the game for years. Not knowing it feels like playing one of my favourite titles, which is FF12.

remote lintel
#

this game will take you way longer than any other FF game to complete

#

but it's really good

wind kindle
#

Seems like it. But I'll enjoy a good length of adventure with FF. I believe I'll get references in regards with old titles, huh?

#

Since I'll be doing only Main Quests and Unlocking Quests, how should I proceed with the other Main Quests from the other starting Cities since I was opt to choose my starting city?

remote lintel
#

ohhhhhh yeah

#

there's so many references

little swift
#

city quests merge into one main quest later

remote lintel
#

some of the raids are based off old FF games

wind kindle
#

I would love to hear or read them.

little swift
#

you can't do them unless you make another character to start in the other cities

wind kindle
#

Would want to fight Gilgamesh again. Or fight Kefka.

little swift
#

you will

remote lintel
#

oh you want to fight kefka you say

#

heh

wind kindle
#

But, the difference from the starting city quests are not much , yea?

remote lintel
#

correct

wind kindle
#

that Crazy Clown, actually alot came to mind, just those came popping first.

remote lintel
#

you might even get to suplex some trains

little swift
#

there's a slightly different storyline

#

and the city lines are different lengths

wind kindle
#

Lol suplex the Ghost Train, remember that.

little swift
#

difference of about 3 quests

wind kindle
#

Not much, eh? But, just like you said, it will all merge into one storyline which I really don't mind

static pasture
#

How do i depict what items i should keep and sell? My inventory is cluttered with random things and my inventory during ARR i basically sold my whole inventory since i had 0 clue

remote lintel
#

at level 15 or so they all merge

#

@static pasture if the gear is worse than yours and you don't want it as glam and don't plan on saving it for another class, sell it

#

oh you mean items

wind kindle
#

I guess, I'll just abandon the other Sidequests I started, it gives me anxiety seeing them all in the journal UNFINISHED.

static pasture
#

i mean all of it hahaha

#

my inventory is probably a nervous breakdown for a neat freak

remote lintel
#

you can sell the common monster items like skins and whatever

#

unless you plan on using them for any crafting classes you have

static pasture
#

i have none as of yet, ive kinda kept my bad wow habit and gunned straight down the MSQ

#

well i have fishing and cooking but both like.. lvl 10 so i barely got my toes wet

remote lintel
#

food you want to keep

#

uhhhh what other kinds of things do you have

static pasture
#

id have to log back in to check but mostly food, all sorts of materials for crafting im assuming, dyes

#

its honestly not like super messy cos i did the cleanout like... 4 days ago when i was in ARR

remote lintel
#

food and dyes you should keep

#

you can move the dyes to your chocobo saddlebag if you want

static pasture
#

didnt even know that was a thing

wind kindle
#

@little swift , @remote lintel , any more tips or things I should keep in mind gunning down Main Story Quests and Unlocking Quests?

static pasture
#

gosh i really am a naive sprout

little swift
#

have fun!

remote lintel
#

once you unlock dungeons in this game you'll get a feature called "duty roulette"

#

that's your main source of exp

#

besides regular dungeons

wind kindle
#

and there are no Attribute Point i need to worry about when Levelling and just treat it like how I treat levelling up in FFT and other FFs?

#

@little swift , Oh I'm sure I will.

static pasture
#

class quests!

wind kindle
#

@remote lintel aye, I'll keep that in mind.

remote lintel
#

no attribute points in this game

#

oh yes and class quests

#

those unlock some of your skills

wind kindle
#

Class Quests?

remote lintel
#

each class has its own little side storyline

wind kindle
#

How should I know if it is a Class Quest?

remote lintel
#

class quests are displayed right under your main story quest

wind kindle
#

I see. I still don't have any, I guess.

remote lintel
#

at lower levels you get them every 5 levels

wind kindle
#

I'm at level 7, but I don't see it.

remote lintel
#

i think you get it at lvl 10

wind kindle
#

I see. Alright, it automatically comes up, huh?

remote lintel
#

yeah

#

it looks like that little !

wind kindle
#

Alright, Understood. Thanks, a lot, man. Oh that one, I was looknig at the Journal and right corner of the screen.

#

Last question, @remote lintel , since I don't want to annoy people so much by asking too many questions. How do I access a store that I can buy some pets like Poogie or buy a Mount using real currency?

remote lintel
#

you access that from mog station

wind kindle
#

Mog Station?

remote lintel
#

the actual website

#

it's where your account is

vagrant copper
#

Note that you'll have to get far enough in the MSQ to get access to mounts, even if you buy them

remote lintel
#

you log in and click "optional items"

wind kindle
#

@vagrant copper , yea, read that I needed to be level 20 and do a quest, right?

#

@remote lintel , I see. Thank you! I'll get going now, thank you!

remote lintel
#

no problem

#

we're here if you have any questions

#

(also i think poogie is from an event that's no longer active)

wind kindle
#

Well, that sucks.. Still, thank you, man!

delicate solstice
#

I'm planning to make the jump from doing normal mode content to EX/Savage; any suggestions on where to start?

cinder maple
#

can retainer share gear?

#

like if i bought one set of DoL gear, can i equip on both my fisher and miner retainers?

remote lintel
#

no

cinder maple
#

fak

proud willow
#

They each need their own set of gear

remote lintel
#

@delicate solstice get a static and study the mechanics?

leaden ginkgo
#

what is the down arrow next to the quest name

proud willow
#

You don't need a static to get started on Extremes

delicate solstice
#

I was moreso talking about what duty we start with, but noted!

remote lintel
#

oh lol

vagrant copper
#

@leaden ginkgo Might help if you post a screenshot. I have no clue what you're asking about

proud willow
#

the first EXs of the expansion (Innocence and Titania) will be easier due to easy DPS checks

remote lintel
#

it means it level syncs you, eye

delicate solstice
#

alright, will start there then. Thanks!

drifting burrow
#

hey can anyone show/tell me the rotation to get high quality as a level 80 bot ;w;

proud willow
#

for collectibles? or just harvesting HQ items?

drifting burrow
#

just harvesting hq items

little swift
#

there isn't really a formal rotation

proud willow
#

you just activate Field Mastery III, that's about all you can do

little swift
#

people just use Unearth 3

#

or whatever teh botanist equivalent is

drifting burrow
#

o and should my company chocobo be able to fly ;w;

echo tapir
#

theres some areas you cant

little swift
#

if you've gotten the aether currents in the area

echo tapir
#

you need to grab all currents yea

drifting burrow
#

ye all my other mounts are able to fly

little swift
#

there's that bluequest too

drifting burrow
#

o

#

which one

little swift
#

its called "I believe I can Fly"

proud willow
#

look for I Believe I Can Fly in Foundation

drifting burrow
#

๐Ÿ‘

#

thank you!

scenic orbit
#

How do you set marker on pc?

#

On map

proud willow
#

Ctrl + right-click

scenic orbit
#

Ty

little swift
#

shift right click to remove

mild ermine
#

On Scholar, which pet should I be using? Eos or Selene?

little swift
#

doesn't matter

#

its cosmetic now

proud willow
#

they are identical in everything but appearance

mild ermine
#

What the ... why would ..

#

Why is this a thing

proud willow
#

they used to have different uses, but one was completely better than the other

#

making it a noob trap

junior yacht
#

Selene was too situational, and swapping fairy mid-fight was debilitating

proud willow
#

So when they made changes to the class for Shadowbringers, they made them the same, but kept both in case you preferred the look of one over the other

#

and also so they wouldn't have to change the lore of the class quests

vagrant copper
#

And to avoid having to change cutscenes lol

leaden ginkgo
#

how do I color my chocobo's feathers?

#

can I use a tomato?

proud willow
#

Put it in a stable and then feed it fruits according to this calculator: https://ffxivchocobo.com

remote lintel
#

do positionals work on every side of a boss if the boss is super big and it's impossible to get behind?

vernal plover
#

Is there a way to level up fast?

twilit arch
#

If a boss is super big and you can't get to their back, they have a full ring

#

which means all attacks get their positional bonuses, regardless of where you are

#

if its your first time playing, follow the main scenario quest msq and do blue side quests bluequest @vernal plover

vernal plover
#

So thatโ€™s my best bet so far then?

twilit arch
#

yes, main scenario quest is going to be your biggest source of exp

vernal plover
#

I just started yesterday so Iโ€™m barely 21 i think. Iโ€™m trying to get level up quick so I can start do the job stuff and higher level stuff

#

Mostly for job leveling though, I wanna try them all

little swift
#
/ac "Salted Earth" <t> 
/micon "Salted Earth" ```
#

maybe include some more salted earth on target some more so the macro will go off more reliably

crimson wind
#

Ok

#

How would one bind a message to a macro?

#

/p?

vagrant copper
#

For party chat, yes

crimson wind
#

So just /p? And then the message?

mossy current
#

Yes

#

/p is the shortcut to party chat

#

/p Darkness

#

For example

remote lintel
#

like /fc is to talk in your FC

#

same with /say

mossy current
#

/s, /a, /sh, etc

crimson wind
#

/p Damn, the earth is saltier than me!

mossy current
#

That's a lie in a few patches

crimson wind
#

Why?

mossy current
#

There's never a time when salted Earth is saltier than you in some DF parties

#

Anyway, enjoy your Macro DRK

little swift
#

probably don't put weird text macros into the chat for every skill you use

#

its just chat bloat and isn't particularly amusing ot party members

crimson wind
#

Just Salted Earth

#

And maybe something useful for Living Dead

Can I revisit floor 200

Its a good gpose spot and i just got to it

#

Hey gang, super noob question.... I'm trying to exchange collectables in revenant toll for exp and scripts, I have the required 'Raw triphane' ore, but the option to turn it in is still grayed out and says I do not have the required materials? Any ideas? Cheers

little swift
#

did you collect it with your collectors glove on

#

with the requisite minimum collectability

carmine laurel
#

I know nothing about that. Sorry I'm pretty new, just got my mining upto 60 and found out about scripts about 20 mins ago, haha

little swift
#

so to go collect something

#

you have to use your collector's glove skill first

#

!action collector's glove

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Collector's Glove** : lvl 50 MIN (0.0 second cooldown)

Utilize your expansive knowledge of mining to uncover collectables amongst regular items.

little swift
#

then you use various appraisal skills to improve its collectability

#

before you collect it

#

its not just mining the node

carmine laurel
#

Ah, okay

little swift
#

!action impulsive appraisal

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Impulsive Appraisal** : lvl 53 MIN (0.0 second cooldown)

Appraise a gathering node for collectables.

Increases item rarity by perception x0.9.
Increases item wear by 10.

Additional Effect: 30% chance Discerning Eye activates
Uses one gathering attempt.

little swift
#

!action discerning eye

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Discerning Eye** : lvl 50 MIN (200 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Improves next item rarity increase by 50%.

little swift
#

!action single mind

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Single Mind** : lvl 57 MIN (200 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)

Execute an appraisal without using a gathering attempt.

carmine laurel
#

I get it now I think, thankyou ๐Ÿ™‚

little swift
#

np!

brave dagger
#

Im at an impasse

little swift
#

Can I revisit floor 200
@orchid python yes, by recompleting the floors haha

#

in what way flash?

brave dagger
#

I want to pick up Ninja again but I dont know if it will really help me in the long run now that i have Dancer and Samurai, Is it worth it?

crimson wind
#

Would /micon go before or after /p

little swift
#

i'd put micon at the end of the macro since the macro runs from top to bottom

crimson wind
#

Thanks

little swift
#

why would it help/not help you flash

crimson wind
#

So do i need quotation marks for messages

brave dagger
#

I've already done everything i want to do with NIN, But I'm noticing that I'm not playing as well with DNC/SAM, So im thinking it might be my class

little swift
#

you can use the auto translate as well

#

but yes you should use the quote marks

crimson wind
#

Are they needed though

little swift
#

i'm not sure i understand what you mean by your class

#

yes you do need them

#

all three jobs have different playstyles

brave dagger
#

I feel like something is holding me back from playing at my best basically

little swift
#

practice more?

#

if you have any parse logs you can plug them into XIVanalysis for a small suggestions list of things to improve

#

or you can always ask the mentors on the BALANCE for more specific job advice

brave dagger
#

I'll look into both when I get the chance

#

Thank you

little swift
#

a lot of rotational comfort comes from muscle memory

#

so practice might be the biggest one

brave dagger
#

I have muscle memory down with both Sam and DNC, Ninja too at least to an extent

#

I just feel like there's something off with how I'm playing

scenic orbit
#

What would you guys say is the best tank?

vagrant copper
#

Best in what way?

scenic orbit
#

I'm a white mage healer and my friend isn't sure what tank would work best

little swift
#

all tanks good

#

play whatever you think is cool

#

they all have variations in how they respond to situations

#

aesthetic is definitely something to consider as well

misty plume
#

hello i'm new and trying to download the game but it's not working
a box comes up asking me to select a region and language and when i choose and click enter it closes and opens back up

leaden ginkgo
#

will the purchase of the tales of adventure: one scholar's journey skip the msq as well

twilit arch
#

no

#

that is a separate purchase

leaden ginkgo
#

so i can be lv 70 and also still play through arr

twilit arch
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

eyesfast thank god

#

ok tyy

#

since sch and smn level scale together, will the scholars journey technically lv smn to 70 as well?

orchid python
#

Aw @little swift

little swift
#

since sch and smn level scale together, will the scholars journey technically lv smn to 70 as well?
@leaden ginkgo it lvls it but you have to complete all the job quests

#

to unlock it to completion

leaden ginkgo
#

oh okay, thats fine

little swift
#

for all its relevant skills as well

leaden ginkgo
#

thanks for the answers!!

How do I find Blue Side quests?

twilit arch
#

they're quests with this icon bluequest

dark pelican
#

Guys, if you buy the latest expension pack, you get all the previous ones too right? And when is it recommend to buy them? When you hit lvl 50? Or just whenever?

vagrant copper
#

Buying Shadowbringers gets you all of them, yes

#

You can really buy it anytime though a lot of it won't matter until you hit 50 or finish ARR. The big exception being if you want to be one of the new races.

#

Or want something from the collector's edition stuff

vernal plover
#

How do I find them though Kaelwyrn?

dark pelican
#

So don't bother until youre lvl 50, thanks!

vagrant copper
#

Look on the map for them suiren

#

Like any other quest

jaunty lance
#

Can you somewhat dictate what dungeons you get in roulettes by changing the ilvl of your gear? Some people in my novice chat are talking about it but I'm not entirely sure, that wouldnt really make much sense as it's already setup to just scale you down anyway no?

warped nest
#

If you have horrible ilvl, the roulette won't queue you into dungeons with higher ilvl requirements

jaunty lance
#

Interesting, I thought it was just meant to queue for any you have unlocked and just set you at the ilvl for it if you're outside of its range

warped nest
#

People do this to fish for easy dungeon

#

It does not sync you up

twilit arch
#

for instance, if you remove all of your gear until you're at ilvl50, and queue for alliance roulette, you're only going to be able to get labyrinth of the ancients

warped nest
#

Only sync high level down

twilit arch
#

because your ilvl only allows you to enter that alliance raid

jaunty lance
#

Hmm I'm not sure how I feel about that, anyway thanks for the info!

warped nest
#

It is there to make sure that people leveling alt jobs with crap gears don't get into dungeons they can't do

#

People are being ass hat and exploit this feature to get faster alliance raid

jaunty lance
#

Yeah that's where I thought it would just scale you up, wouldnt that mean people abusing it causes there to be less people to help with higher dungeons though? Sorry I'm not really familiar with alliance raids

warped nest
#

The game don't have ilvl sync up

#

Alliance raid is a 24 player raid

#

The roulette gives pretty good exp, so that's why some people force the game to go for the easiest alliance raid

jaunty lance
#

Ah gotcha

crimson wind
#

When can I unlock every aether current in Sea of Clouds and Dravanian Forelands?

warped nest
#

I won't worry about it being abused for high level roulette, because it doesn't make that much difference outside of alliance

#

Sea of cloud north will be visited later

jaunty lance
#

Fair enough, queue just popped, thanks!

warped nest
#

You can do dravanian foreland right away

crimson wind
#

I can?

#

Not locked by any MSQs?

warped nest
#

@jaunty lance plus not everyone does it, only a selected few, enjoy

#

You still need to do MSQ, wolt

crimson wind
#

I know

#

I just want to fly nowwwwwww

warped nest
#

But you can go and look for the 10 in the map now

crimson wind
#

Wym look for? I'm just gonna cheat and look on the internet

warped nest
#

you do you ยฏ\_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

crimson wind
#

Though Tbh chasing the currents without help and only the compass in Western was a bit fun

random kindle
#

the msq quests basically take you right to most of the currents

crimson wind
#

Most

#

Not all

random kindle
#

theres very few that you need to travel for

crimson wind
#

Many were pretty out of the way

random kindle
#

in hw at least

#

in the first map they kinda were but the rest not really it felt like

#

anyways you mostly can't fly until you finish the msq for that map

#

prety sure the last aether current quest in each map was the one that tells you to move to the next map

static terrace
#

what is preferred, block rate or block strength?

tough wolf
#

Is there a way of checking which Master Crafting books I've already bought?

#

(and used)

clever cave
#

no, you'll have to either check manually or try to buy one, it wont let you buy ones you already own/have in your bag

tough wolf
#

but if I've used it, it would let me buy it again?

clever cave
#

no

twilit arch
#

assuming you've used the book already, you can look in your crafting log

#

but that said, you cannot buy books you've already used

tough wolf
#

thank you both

crimson wind
#

If this aether current map is correct, that means i can fly before I reach Ok'Zundu, yes?

twilit arch
#

nope

crimson wind
#

oh

little swift
#

Nope

crimson wind
#

Ohhhhhhhhh msq

twilit arch
#

the upper half of churning mists is blocked by msq

little swift
#

You can't physically go over there on foot

crimson wind
#

Huh

little swift
#

Theres a height difference

#

Some islands are higher above you

twilit arch
#

map is a touch misleading because of the overlap of islands

crimson wind
#

Thought I saw a bridge between em

obsidian patio
#

@static terrace dont worry about it, just wear the shield with higher overall stats.

#

Eventually all shields will have an equal amount of both anyways.

Im new to the discord, is there any channel specially for finding raid players or something? I want to do the rathalos raid for the first time to unlock the harder versions but its impossible to find a team ๐Ÿ˜ฆ

little swift
#

Its part of trial roulette iirc you'll ve able to find someone

#

You can also try #eu-datacenters or #recruitment-chaos

glacial birch
#

allright, Ill try there later then, thanks channy!

little swift
#

Rank up if you can

#

Yup

#

That unlocks a bigger seal cap

#

And slowly more items can be purchased from them too

river portal
little swift
#

Nah they're useful for overriding stats if you need to

#

And the arr relic uses the lower grades at a certain step

#

Iirc

#

If not sell them I guess

river portal
#

taking up hella space and I'm trying to figure out what to cu tout

old dock
#

whats the difference between online complete edition and just shadowbringers standard edition

vagrant copper
#

Complete is base game + expansions. Shadowbringers is just expansions and requires you to already have the base game.

old dock
#

ohk

#

so if i started my character on the ff14 launcher and decided to buy it on steam would that work

#

or would i have to restart my character

little swift
#

Are you on trial right now?

old dock
#

yeah

little swift
#

If so you can make the swap to steam but you cannot switch back iirc

old dock
#

kk

little swift
#

Once your license on the mogstation is registered to steam or PC on that service account you will be locked to buying future expansions from that source

old dock
#

aight

rare stag
#

do you have to buy the game for 60 bucks and then also pay for subscription each month? I had the free trial rn

#

have*

remote lintel
#

@rare stag yes

#

the base game is like $20

vagrant copper
#

Buying the game does come with 30 days of game time

how do i use the key i got from steam

oh thank you

teal pulsar
#

Hello, I've been looking for a decent MMORPG for a while and I was suggested this one, I am trying to collect more info before starting my free trial.

  1. Are there builds in this mmo? As in, can you put points on stats and such, or is it just class/job based?
  2. are there specific classes newbies should choose or avoid? (I saw that you can just level up all your classes, sounds weird but also pretty cool, i assume I'd have to choose one as a main though?)
fresh lodge
#
  1. Just classes, which are fairly strict in how you build them
    2)Any class is fine to start with
dusky nest
#
  1. If you want a really easy time, go for heal or tank, because that way you will have short queues
teal pulsar
#

short queues?

#

i guess for matchmaking or such?

dusky nest
#

when you queue for a dungeon for example. yeah

teal pulsar
#

i kinda wanted to do something stupid like a full vitality tank, so that's good to hear, but since there's no stat system i wonder how possible it'd be. Also, would I have any kind of problems playing a support role alone? And do some quests have NPCs i can lead or that party up with me?

dusky nest
#

its not really possible. like, there is gear with varying stats and materia you can use to boost some stats, but even then its fairly limited. everyone is the same basically and it rather comes down to your own skill/understanding of the game and its mechanics

teal pulsar
#

huh

#

i didn't expect that, sounds better actually

dusky nest
#

there are ways to do dungeons with npcs yes. but thats far away from the early game

fresh lodge
#

Plus all tank gear has vit on it, so you're already going to be a full vit tank since thats all you can do

teal pulsar
#

Thank you very much for the info. Last question, since there's matchmaking, are dungeons and such co-op? Or would i be able to find people doing stuff while i mind my own business and do my quests?

dusky nest
#

ah well, it really depends

dusty moss
#

It's a party finder mechanics like you can find in most modern MMO today

#

You just queue for a dungeon, the game looks for players doing the same, it groups you up and you do the dungeon with other people

teal pulsar
#

i've been out of the mmo loop for 6-7 years sadly, heh

#

mh so i am not gonna find strangers while doing dungeons

dusty moss
#

If you go in solo no, they're instanciated

dusky nest
#

the majority of content is basically matchmake. there is a party finder which you can use to search for people or join others, but they are usually used for fairly specific stuff like farming mounts or extreme/savage endgame content.
however, if your queue takes a while to pop, you can absolutely do something else in the meantime, even switch to different classes

dusty moss
#

But you can premake a group if you find players around the dungeon

teal pulsar
#

fair enough, thank you all, i'll probably start playing tomorrow

leaden ginkgo
#

Can any leader of a fc tell me how much you can realistically make off of voyages to fund fc events ?

#

why are there a fixed number of houses?

#

for each server

#

In SWTOR houses are individual and not dependent on the player market

#

so why is it different for FFXIV?

faint flare
#

Server strain

humble birch
#

wha

#

is that it?

faint flare
#

yes

#

Especially if they want the wards

#

Thats ALOT of data

humble birch
#

are Houses that stressful on the server?

#

okay but

faint flare
#

Yes, cause there's ton if unique data per zone

#

With instance housing, its only loading that thing

#

But with wards, tons of data is needed

humble birch
#

so

#

if we didn't have houses in wards

#

it just seemed weird

does ashkins and spirits spawn in Eureka between 18:00-06:00 ET or ST?

I accidently discarded my botanist gear. I'm lvl 24 or so. What should I do? I'm new and not suuuper sure on how to get more gear

humble birch
#

in SWTOR any player with a couple thousand credits was able to buy a reasonably sized apartment or house

#

i assumed it was the same

gritty oracle
#

@scenic orbit If you're in a friendly FC or the Novice Network, you could ask more experienced players to craft you new gear. Ask them what materials they need, it's customary for the person receiving the gear to provide materials. Otherwise, at level 24 you're not super punished by having bad gear. Your class quests give you gear, if you can't get a new set crafted.

proper cipher
#

There's apartments in this. I believe still a limited number but fairly numerous. Like 50ish per ward? IIRC

gritty oracle
#

There's no limit on apartments. Since it's instanced, there can exist as many as SE wants.

scenic orbit
#

I don't know what FC or novice network even is dissapointed

gritty oracle
#

Plus, apartments have the perk of never getting demolished, so even if you don't play for an extended period, it will be sitting there, waiting for you

#

FC stands for Free Company. If you come from WoW, think guilds. It's part luck, part FC hopping (joining one to see what it's like, and leaving if it doesn't suit you) to find one that agrees with you.

humble birch
#

huh

#

how would I go about buying an apartment?

faint flare
#

Just go to the apartment building and pay 500k

gritty oracle
#

And the Novice Network is basically a global cha between new players and "mentors", people with tons of experience. You have to be invited by a mentor, but honestly if you just /shout something like "can a mentor invite me to NN?" In Limsa Lominsa you'll probably get an inv.

An Immortal Flames quest requires me to use Duty Finder to enter Aurum Vale. Would it work if I did that unsynced by myself or does it need to be synced?

jade quartz
#

Apartments are limited.

gritty oracle
#

It doesn't need to be synced

left cedar
#

Alright cool, thanks!

jade quartz
#

SE have expressed that they can add more easily if the demand on all servers becomes higher

#

but they would have to actually implement that themselves.

#

There is a cap on the number of apartments ingame.

gritty oracle
#

Even if you're doing the dungeon unsynced, you're still technically using the Duty Finder.

silver vessel
#

Do any of the other cities have a place where you can buy glam stuff like the wedding suit in Ul'Dah?

gritty oracle
#

I think every major city has vendors selling gear, but that's like, regular gear that you can also use for glam.

#

So, probably no.

silver vessel
#

When you do a glam plate can you just have like hidden gloves and such?

#

or does it do your gear no matter what?

magic light
#

question I should've asked months ago, when using skills that has an aoe marker such as sacred soil, salted earth and shukuchi, how do I avoid clicking on the enemy accidentally and have targeted the enemy instead of using the ability?

dusty moss
#

Macro ?

hoary storm
#

You can me a macro that will use it on the target <t> and then on the next like just pu the normal name of the skill

dusty moss
#

Although if you need to create a macro for every single ground targeted AoE that will become cluttered quite fast ๐Ÿค”

hoary storm
#

so if you cant use it on tha target the aoe marker will just appear for you to place manually

#

for example
Sacred soil <t>
Sacred soil

obsidian patio
#

not that many ground-placed aoes

magic light
#

this seems nitpicky, how about the cannons in the lvl 50 trial with the big dragon slowly moving?

#

I've got X to hide character names to avoid accidents, but I still get issues on clicking on the dragon and it targets it instead of firing

dusty moss
#

Just press the skill button again ?

#

It works with cannons

magic light
#

you can press it twice to fire it?

dusty moss
#

It should

#

Cannons in Castrum Meridianum work like that, but I haven't tested every single cannon in the game :v

#

(Also the ground targeted AoE of the Magitek Armor in The Praetorium)

Your elite mark bill will also notify you when you're getting close to the monster and give the compass direction they're in.

Though from what I can tell it's based on when the mob renders in, so if you have a really good/bad computer it can make it trigger sooner/later.

wintry chasm
#

The closest you can get is that edge

leaden ginkgo
#

where do i get bonechips now?

wintry chasm
#

along that edge?

leaden ginkgo
#

ah yeah lol

#

thanks haha

agile laurel
#

To check - is SCH's aetherpact a toggle on-off or a gauge drainer?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You toggle it to target someone with the tether and it drains gauge when its active

#

Press the button again or use another fairy skill to turn it off

agile laurel
#

Ah, so it does drain gauge then

wintry chasm
#

mmm

leaden ginkgo
#

so my Fisher just hit level 60 but I don't see anymore class quests, is the next class quest "Plenty More Fish in the Sea " locked behind Stormblood MSQ or what?

agile laurel
#

tooltip was kinda vague - couldn't tell whether it was 10 gauge per toggle-on or 10 gauge per... however long it's active

barren galleon
#

Is there any setting that allows armour that I get from loot just go to main inventory?

jaunty matrix
#

okay guys i have a very important question, whats teh most reliable way to climb here

wintry chasm
#

Should be MZNG

#

I think it's under the inventory section in character config

barren galleon
#

Presume this

#

Yes?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah but uhhh

#

I might have been wrong clearly

barren galleon
#

I'll test the setting out lol

pine onyx
#

Whats the more used online marketboard right now? FFXIV Marketboard or Universalis?

silver vessel
#

Is there any Crafting & Gathering guides floating around?

wintry chasm
#

@leaden ginkgo Have you actually gotten to that quest? It should just be locked behind finishing ARR and last fisher quest

bronze sorrel
#

@barren galleon yea just uncheck the 'store all' whatever

wintry chasm
#

Oh yeah

#

I'm blind

barren galleon
#

Thanks guys ^ ^

#

farming seals lol

leaden ginkgo
#

@wintry chasm I thought I finished ARR after "the Ultimate Weapon" quest but apparently not

wintry chasm
#

It's not super complicated. Just boils down to doing GC turn ins, maybe beast tribe quests, and Ishgard restoration if you can

#

That's not finishing ARR

#

That's just finishing the ARR base game

#

Not including patch stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

so I've literally got 100 more MSQ to finish then?

wintry chasm
#

Yeahhh but they aren't nearly as bad as 2.0 or anything

leaden ginkgo
#

this is ridiculous

wintry chasm
#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

#

Even when you finish ARR you got a lot main story to go till you actually finish it all

leaden ginkgo
#

if i make my own free company how do i create a discord ?

#

yeah I'm level 58 now

jaunty matrix
#

look man im gonna be real if u play this just to hit endgame u will get extremely frustrated

leaden ginkgo
#

also if someone were to start playing now could they reach SHB by summer the end of the year ?

jaunty matrix
#

everytime i got a sub i dropped it like couple weeks i have subbed for 3 months and still didnt finish the story

wintry chasm
#

๐Ÿค” just press the + on the far left of Discord where the server list is and put the link in the free company board or something Space

leaden ginkgo
#

I just want to be up to date with current content so I don't get left behind

wintry chasm
#

If you're somewhat speedy sure Space btw

jaunty matrix
#

i get that but that mindset is not healthy for this game just saying

leaden ginkgo
#

@leaden ginkgo i feel you on that but itโ€™s almost like people are doing everything all the time

wintry chasm
#

Also not like you are ever going to get left behind since there is always something current going on

leaden ginkgo
#

i have started this game over so many times lol and each time i was able to catch up

#

Isnโ€™t ARR getting revamped in the summer?

#

but play for the story though

#

yes it is

wintry chasm
#

In 5.3 whenever that ends up being

jaunty matrix
#

i am now at shb and wish i followed the story

leaden ginkgo
#

god I just wish some of the MSQ werenโ€™t so RUN AROUND THE WHOLE MAP

#

you can always watch the analysis videos lemon

slate arrow
#

Oh you're still running around the whole map

jaunty matrix
#

i read up a bit

#

ill keep goin

wintry chasm
#

You know that just isn't the same thing Space

jaunty matrix
#

i want the rewamp to come ill just play new game+

slate arrow
#

It's just you're no longer spending 10 minutes washing s single piece of cloth

leaden ginkgo
#

Iโ€™m a bit ahead of after titan

#

lol true

jaunty matrix
#

HOW TO RELIABLY CLIMB ON LIMSA SPIKES

wintry chasm
#

Getting good at jumping

#

ยฏ_(ใƒ„)_/ยฏ

jaunty matrix
#

thanks i will do thing to do thing

leaden ginkgo
#

i feel like they have about two more expansions left in them but regardless they give out the story patches relatively often

#

so like i said thereโ€™s no rush

wintry chasm
#

Also errr

#

Not really tied to a question

leaden ginkgo
#

How much longer is ARR from the point Iโ€™m at rn?

wintry chasm
#

Oh

#

That's a question

#

Can you be more detailed in where you are in spoiler tags?

leaden ginkgo
#

definitely something that alphiโ€™s sis would say lol

#

How do I uh..

wintry chasm
#

||like this||

leaden ginkgo
#

||After the Scion Leader gets taken; some church at drybone camp I think..? ||

wintry chasm
#

Oh

#

Man you barely started

silver vessel
#

Is there a crafting guide for post 5.2?

open coral
#

Isn't that only like, level 26 in the MSQ?

wintry chasm
#

Early 30

leaden ginkgo
#

Im about level 40

wintry chasm
#

Yeah but your level doesn't matter, it's the main story level

#

I'd say you got 100 + 50 quests roughly left of ARR

leaden ginkgo
#

God really? Iโ€™ve been told after titan thatโ€™s basically the middle

wintry chasm
#

Sounds worse than it is

#

That's the middle of 2.0

leaden ginkgo
#

IM GONNA CRY

wintry chasm
#

but not counting the patch stuff

#

You'd be surprised how quick some quests are

#

@silver vessel Nothing really changed in 5.2 except gatherers can get xp in diadem and you can get materials there to craft in Ishgard for xp

open coral
#

Yeah, the point you're at right now is maybe... I think about 60 quests from the end of the 2.0 storyline, but only around 15 or 20 hours of actual gameplay time if you're watching all the cutscenes.

silver vessel
#

So 5.1 guides still good @wintry chasm ?

open coral
#

Then there's the 120-odd "post-ARR" quests

wintry chasm
#

fundamentally yes. The Ishgard restoration items would have changed and you want to go into diadem for gathering materials for the new restoration recipes

#

But it's basically the same deal

#

100 Aura

#

Patch stuff is exactly 100

open coral
#

Is it only 100? I always lose count.

wintry chasm
#

Yep

#

2.0 is bigger than that

silver vessel
#

Is there a better craft role or are they all their own unique thing

open coral
#

I gave it 15-20 to account for potential long queue times if they're playing dps.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah I took back my comments on that bit Aura

open coral
#

For the required content

wintry chasm
#

@silver vessel You'd probably want to level them all because they all use materials that the other crafters make

#

but yes their isn't really a "super OP crafter to make 1000000000 gil!!!!"

silver vessel
#

Ahh ok cool

open coral
#

ALC does the music scroll restorations with elite crafting books, right?

wintry chasm
#

Yeah

open coral
#

One of these days I'm going to get around to restoring my massive collection of scrolls...

leaden ginkgo
#

yeah thatโ€™s another thing, idk what it is but you can reach 80 way before SHB

#

itโ€™s good and bad though b/c a lot of skills are quest locked

open coral
#

With the right xp buffs and/or roulette schedule, yeah, you can.

wintry chasm
#

Yeah on a preferred server that can be normalish

#

If not on a preferred server you're doing something....whacky

leaden ginkgo
#

Are server xp buffs an actual thing when you make a character..?

wintry chasm
#

Preferred servers get double xp from all sources up to level 70 and tends to last 90 days but can stay for longer if you server remains preferred

open coral
#

Even if you only have the basic xp buffs (preorder earring + Brand New Ring + rested) you can easily get way ahead in levels without the preferred server buff.

wintry chasm
#

ehhh Aura

open coral
#

I've got a character at level 58, just starting HW content.

#

Literally just starting it.

#

Not on a preferred server.

fresh lodge
#

Yeah thats pretty normal

#

Especially if you're doing roulettes and side dungeons

open coral
#

Yep

#

It's slow until level 50 when all the additional content roulettes open, but once you get there it's easy to blast through levels like nothing.

leaden ginkgo
#

genuinely feel like making a new character now just to be on a preferred server to breeze through levels ๐Ÿ˜”

fresh lodge
#

It won't help much

bitter plaza
#

you'll still have to play the MSQ unless you pay to skip that

#

the MSQ gives a massive amount of xp itself

fresh lodge
#

The time sink isn't levelling, its the MSQ

tough wolf
#

Is level VII materia still used/useful? Looking at spending my excess Yellow Scrips.

open coral
#

VII materia can be useful, yes

tough wolf
#

Thanks

leaden ginkgo
#

Are retainers useful in any way? I heard theyโ€™re not too useful if youโ€™re not a crafting class

wintry chasm
#

They are your inventory bank, how you sell stuff on the marketboard, and they can bring back items that can sell nicely

blissful matrix
#

Hire them.

wintry chasm
#

^ 0 reason not to

leaden ginkgo
#

..are they free?

wintry chasm
#

Yes

blissful matrix
#

2 of them are

hot eagle
#

2 you get for free more costs

leaden ginkgo
#

Do I get em through the store on the website or in game?

wintry chasm
#

in game

#

talk to a retainer vocate in any of the cities

#

they would be in the marketplaces

#

Important to note that you can't hire them on free trial

whole wasp
#

on mogstation for the extras.

#

in game for the first 2 free.

leaden ginkgo
#

Does the one month free through the complete edition count as a โ€˜free trialโ€™ ?

#

because I still got like 15 more days of that

wintry chasm
#

No it doesn't

leaden ginkgo
#

Thank u for dealing with my stupid questions u mentors are amazing ๐Ÿ˜”

wintry chasm
#

np

leaden ginkgo
#

What is the quickest way to get grand company seals?

open coral
#

Turn in old gear that you're done with and don't want for glamour to your GC

hasty spade
#

Don't worry, I'm level 54 and halfway through patchquests

#

I just keep getting distracted by Zodiac weapons

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh I see

dusty moss
#

Greed for gear you drop in dungeons to turn them in for seals

forest lark
#

Can fantasia phialbexpire, for example if I use it on a char, do i have tobre edit my character immediately or it can sit and wait?

slate arrow
#

Fantasia can never expire

forest lark
#

Oh ok and what about editong while having gear on?

slate arrow
#

not possible

forest lark
#

What would happen?

#

Ahh i see

#

Cause Im scholar now and in editing it puts me as a black mage and its annoying cause their job gear is bad

slate arrow
#

You can just strip them down to their underclothes

dusty moss
#

lewd

slate arrow
#

Fanta doesn't let you change which class you started as for obvious reasons

forest lark
#

Haha, yeah but I like to see how diff glamour looks on each race

leaden ginkgo
#

quick question, when you do crafting leves, how exactly do they work ?

#

i know gathering ones are just go mine or go chop wood

#

but are the crafting ones tied to a specific item ? ( like if i do a leve for goldsmith, would i have to go collect the materials ?)

hot eagle
#

each crafter leves want a specific item(u can craft it or also buy from npc or mb if u got the gil) also hq item gives you double the exp and with road buff u would get double of the double exp

patent citrus
#

how come the higher ilvl has less stats?

wintry chasm
#

because

patent citrus
#

in this case should I just take the money bag?

wintry chasm
#

could do

#

or you could take that wristband and try to sell it yourself maybe it can fetch more

patent citrus
#

i level'd from 1-35 in 3 weeks to 1-25 in 1 day ๐Ÿคฃ

wintry chasm
#

but yeah ARR is weird like that where your starting accessories are better than everything till like, level 30

patent citrus
#

recreate my account with official launcher

#

i see

#

it's ok if i didn't miss anything ๐Ÿ˜„

blissful matrix
#

id get the brand-new-ring asap from the novice trial

wintry chasm
#

oh yes if you haven't already

patent citrus
#

I'm just wondering if i misread something

#

hm weird, i finished the novice trial

#

i didn't get any ring, i got awesome looking gears though

wintry chasm
#

Did you actually finish it finish it?

patent citrus
#

for the first time, my gear isn't looking like a clown -_-

leaden ginkgo
#

is it true that you can get any relic for 1000 poetics in SHB or was that a one time thing

patent citrus
#

hmm I'm not sure if there is another phase, but I got the set from the novice trial

wintry chasm
#

I'd take a trip back to the hall and see if you actually did "final exercise"

leaden ginkgo
#

b/c if so iโ€™m saving a lot of time

patent citrus
#

and there is no green icon anymore

#

from the npc

wintry chasm
#

Even if you did rerunning the final exercise should give the ring back

patent citrus
#

but maybe in the future i will see another

#

ok i will check when i run into the novice npc

wintry chasm
#

Every other relic after the first just costs 1000 poetics Space

#

but that's the level 80 relic specifically

olive lintel
#

When farming extreme trials, you get totems that you can trade for mounts?

wintry chasm
#

and the gear that drops yeah

#

ARR ex trials don't have totems/whatever though

olive lintel
#

Ohh no wonder i cant find totems for ifrit

patent citrus
#

btw how do I get invited into novice network?

whole wasp
#

look for players with mentor next to their name and ask them to invite you into the NN

#

you can also try /shouting in the starting cities

patent citrus
#

which exp food would you recommend me getting?

#

around lv 23

#

i remember i was told that it's cheap and you can buy them from npc

whole wasp
#

boiledegg ?

strange coral
#

Personally I just buy boiled eggs and use them at any level for the exp. I don't worry about the stats

whole wasp
#

yea, its pretty cheap. like 3 gil each? 5 gil each

patent citrus
#

ok i'll buy bulk of those

forest lark
#

How to unlock moogle dance?

strange coral
#

Moogle beast tribe in HW

gilded salmon
#

at which lvl can you enter a free company?

whole wasp
#

you can be invited to a free company at any time iirc. there are no restrictions other than not being on trial accoujnt

gilded salmon
#

oh, sorry i meant grand company

patent citrus
#

25ish i think

Grand Company FAQ
Info

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies

Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.

patent citrus
#

from what i remember

whole wasp
#

ehh it doesnt say.

patent citrus
#

isnt that related to how far your msq you finished?

raw solstice
#

it says on the mounts FAQ, but it's a level 20 MSQ

whole wasp
#

should be around lvl 20

gilded salmon
#

thanks a lot

desert osprey
#

how can I get more veggies to summon my chocobo to battle?

hoary storm
strange coral
#

Lots of merchants sell them. At least one in each main city

desert osprey
#

ok, I'll try to find one

#

ty

strange coral
#

Bango is a good one, he's right next to the main aetherite in Limsa

open coral
#

The easiest to remember is the Merchant and Mender at Bentbranch Meadows

desert osprey
#

I need it to do damage for me since I'm leveling as a healer :_^)

open coral
#

Make it a healer too anyways

#

Choco Regen is strong

desert osprey
#

dunno

#

is it worth

faint flare
#

Yes

desert osprey
#

I don't want to spent 5 minutes in each mob

faint flare
#

Cause you do more damage than the chocobo

#

Less time you spend healing yourself the quicker stuff dies

desert osprey
#

I see
