I see. So I just Greed and Pass on the others tho.
Yeah, I just tried pressing Greed didnt know its like that, should've given it to the other player.
ANd this Spiritbond, @remote lintel ?
@leaden ginkgo usually almost never involves gil. only ARR i don't know how you get dyable armor, HW requires materials from the centurio vendor to augument, Stormblood requires Eureka grinding, and Shadowbringers requires an Extreme Trial associated with the ||Resistance|| weapon
ARR is crafted items
oh
@wind kindle spiritbond is for creating materia
which the item required for it is probably going to be expensive since its behind master recipe book 1 and people probably aren't crafting many of them
once an item gets 100% spiritbond, you can make a material from it, then it goes back to 0
Well, I just sold those items. My bad.
it's fine
spiritbond is only really important at lvl 80
at lower levels it's negligible
So what would be recommend class for easier time to level to 80 as dps (or maybe tank) doing MSQ/roullete/heavens yet doesn't cause pain on my hands (carpal tunnel) do like dancers but never played tank class ever
Also what's the deal with ppl having crown to their names?
@white sinew Lipsync doesn't exist. the audio is just played over the text box, and all the game does is make the relevant character play a talking animation when their textbox is open
@white belfry those are mentors
I see.. Alright, thanks agian!
you're cheap
they used to have lipsync back in 1.0
unfortunately it was also rather taxing
as was with many 1.0 systems
@remote lintel is there anything that related to both mentors and new/players? Like dungeon or guild?
How do i unlock gear from yellow scrips higher than level 58 ? my miner is 62
@white belfry if a mentor is partied with a new player that new player gets a small exp boost
do you have the iddlyshire house of splendors unlocked
yea
Oh ty
the level 60 scrip gear is bought in idyllshire, with blue scrip tokens
they only trade me lvl 50 stuff
you can't directly buy yellow scrip gear
probs cause i havent turned in lvl 60 items?
you need to buy blue tokens
ohh
which you then exchange with another vendor for level 60 stuff
@white sinew you need to buy an augument mateial akin poetics gear
but from the centurio vendor
Splendors Vendor sells the lvl 60 scrip gear for blue tokens
yea i just saw that
yes
since the level 60 gear used to be tomestone gear
instead of given upon completion of the job quests
to seika in idyllshire
where does one go to get the lvl 80 gear after finishing the role quests
grendolt in the tempest
fortunately, you don't need to complete the MSQ to access the vendors there
where does one go to get the lvl 80 gear after finishing the role quests
@slate arrow
grendolt in the tempest
continue your 
the MSQ literally makes to go and talk to the guy
I'm just saying he did mention he cleared role quests
you also have to do the role quests to progress the MSQ
I didn't even leave gridania/shroud
if you're not in shadowbringers don't overly concern yourself with this
no
he wasn't asking for himself
ldm5 is informing you that we don't need to include that piece of info

because the people who asked
he was pointing out that the other person already mentioned he completed his role quest
^
already told us that they finished their role quest
so you telling him to continue with them was pointless
i'm so lost but okay
to be fair, some of the questions are so frequently asked, we just include the whole set of information out of habit as we answer them
Oh make sense then @warped nest
I mean at this point in time, it doesn't really apply to Hi
nvm
before level 70 just keep doing your job quests
it does not apply to you
because he's not in shb
is there a trial version of ffxiv on steam?
yes
do note if you use the trial on steam you're locked to buying the game on steam
so only do it if you plan on playing on steam
can you desynth potions ?
damn i thought i found a crazy exploit lol
nah job gear is the baseline for the endgame that expansion
hey can i get a hand? for some reason my game isnt letting me glamour my weapons
@faint quest what level is your weapon and what level is the glam
oh im an idiot


computer reset and gladiator doesnt auto equip the soul stone
save your gear to a gearset
the game says i don't meet conditions to enter a map portal
that way you don't forget to equip the job stone
@last cape what's the map level
Is someone in the group not in the area?
everyone is here
is someone not on a level 80 job
loot rolled for?
no loot
send a screenshot of your entire screen
can their be more then one founder of your guild?
huh, that's odd.
There can only be one person with the highest rank. @past flame
lmao
Hi! I just got to idylshire and have some tomestones of poetics, I’m a dragoon, what gear should I get?
shire gear
shire gear for dragoon
maiming left side, slaying accessories
(shire isn't called maiming)
oh, yeah it does have that dumb name, "pathfinder"
how do you dye lvl 70 AF gear
eureka
@slate arrow @remote lintel thanks!
the eureka versions aren't dyeable?
maxed out they are
you need to get the final upgrade of the first zone
Wait u can't dye anemous gear?
Oh nvm I was like wait a minute how I can dye my anemous if it needs to be fully upgraded my bad
What do i do with skybuilder stuff that wasnt approved ? throw it away?
I335 can be dyed
but i cant use it, can i ?
Not until you get more to finish the stack of 10
ohhhh
Is Scholar supposed to be bad at low levels ... ?
a lot of their good tools are at the later levels
I feel like I'm hardly healing at all right now. And yes.
Ofc make sure gear is up to date and all
Mhm, I double checked it. It's up to par.
Gets better at 45 with aetherflow and lustrate
without access to a lot of the OGCDs you have to rely on using physick and adloquium
sadly
Yeah I feel like that's the problem right now.
And whispering dawn
and whispering dawn
It isn't very pleasant.
Stuck how
sure, what's up?
what quest
is this one where you have to buy it?
yes
you can buy one in limsa as well
mmhmm, the quest has you around drybone which it's usually pretty convenient, unless you've already gone away from there
@desert osprey at these coordinates
you can get it from the merchant in drybone
@mild ermine below 60 u will heavily rely on physick/adloquium and lustrate and timing of each one is more important how ever thanks to sb/shbr skills u rarely use heavy healing (unless very large pulls / team got hit by too many mechanics)
do u guys hav a site that shows all the weapon designs?
gamerescape has image galleries for gear and weapons
U can use gamerscape or garland for models
hello, i bought Black Oldroses but can't place them in any vase. What can i do with them?
i just saw a blm with a scythe glamour
wanted to use them for housing
does anybody know where it’s from ? i sure hope it’s not a microtransaction
Mogstation
depends
there's the mogstation scythe
and then there's the lvl 80 deepshadow weapon for blm
hi!! will this card work for my game on PS4? Im on the US network
it was called ‘blooms’ something like that
then its the mogstation one
will it be on the mog station for a long time ?
they've yet to remove anything from mogstation
ok good
yes time cards don't care about what platform you play on @lavish vortex
hmm how do i know the weapon glows in which color
yes time cards don't care about what platform you play on @lavish vortex
@twilit arch thanks!!
@rough lance garland tools got 3D models for weapons (idk if it includes glowing part from relic weapons)
doesn't include
garland also links to gamerescape
can check the image there, should show the glow assuming it has one
Gridania only got crp/ltw guilds as doh?
yes
how do you whisper somebody from another server?
there's no lvl 80 weps that glows yet right
whenever somebody whisper me from another server I can't whisper them back
/tell Firstname Lastname@server iirc
maybe they've set themself to busy or are in an instance when you respond
Hey all, I've played FFXIV a while ago and I'm getting back in. When I try to log in now, I get this error
@lament citrus thanks
I googled the dlls and it's related to the reshader thing, but I don't have that installed
yeah you right it sorta clunky
Does anybody know how I can fix this?
thanks that worked
reinstall?
oof
T_T
I'm trying to avoid having to do that, but I'm heavily considering that option now
do you have any thing like reshade installed

nope
i do not have that or anything similar installed, and i never have
pure vanilla
so do unspoiled nodes keep respawning during their time window, or once you nab it its gone till next one?
its gone till the next respawn timer
ty
only ephemeral nodes respawn during their windows
ephemerals respawn during their window
hmm @craggy crypt have you consulted #technology-discussion for their suggestions?
yeah i had just hit an ephemeral without knowing what it was a few times, figured I would wait for an unspoiled but was feeling silly! haha
unfortunately i'm not super super tech inclined and google hasn't been fruitful
sorry about that
it's no problem
so RN is umbral levin in diadem, just keep mining and maybe rare mat's gonna pop ?
make sure ur client is up to date
i gt the problem fix after i update to shadowbringer
should i extract materia everytime my items are 100%?
Yes @static terrace
no reason not to
Thanks to current patch? u don't lose gear anymore
i don't think it's something you really need to worry about, but whenever you notice it
^
are the materia extracted from them not useful?
which gunblade glows anyone knows?
Hi. For AST, what's the materia priority? After piety, Crit then Det?
Depends on ur build most likely and remember the lower iL of fear the lower materia level @static terrace
@solid crypt I think vit won't hurt for survivability?
Wait really?
main stat materia are defunct, and you can't get them anymore
Cuz u covered basically main 3 melds@solid crypt
Where do I get level 80 gear
from grenodlt, but you need to continue the msq yuel
@midnight slate clear role quests and msq will lead u to job gear npc
no, it'll be freely available
lv80 job gear is your starting gear for lvl 80, since you're not going to be able to buy the tomestone gear yet until you complete shadowbringers
It's job gear (just like previous expac job quests gear)
Can someone point me in the direction of how to get a relic on an alt?
Like If I made a SAM and got him to 80
which relic?
cos SAM only has two relics available to them. Eureka (lv70) and Resistance (lv80)
lv80 one u gonna need to clear ff tactics raids and shbr msq to unlock relic quest
Lv70 one u gonna need to clear sb msq and full eureka duty
What the quest name to unlocked the stormblood raid
Dramatis Personae
Return to ivalice?
Ok
assuming you're talking about the return to ivalice raids
What?
are you talking about the 24man raids or the 8 man raids
^
I mean raid smillar to the crystal tower and void ark theme
then its the quest i said
Ok
Yup that's the one
So yosh p i need to talk to?
I guess what I said was series raid name not quest name
Ok ok i got it
@chilly birch in kugane npc near airport landing
Ok
Most of fates r solo able @covert berry
@lament citrus im lvl9 and i think i cant do one lvl12
if i go for one lvl14 as lvl9, do i get much exp or it has penalty?
You can usually do a level gap of +4 to +5 with a little l uck and planning
Xp penalties for being a level or two under are minor
Don't be afraid to give it a shot ~
ok will try
Is there any way to check the name of the character of someone who used my recruit a friend code?
The level of mobs in any fate is basically 3 levels under fate recommend level so if fate is level 12 mobs r level 9 but the thing is that they recommend higher level due to gear (some ppl r level X but wearing lower level than X gear)
@hard aurora I don't think u can
Hmm okay
What class u playing on?
what is that?
Pet
Try going topaz with potions
where do i check skills?
Pc or ps4?
pc
like job skills?
I'm actually so confused about melding
what confuses you agry
Kael gave me a list of priorities to meld for scholar
yup
But like how do I know whats good piety
!faq stats
can i only get 1 piece of the Nier gear per week, like if i wanted the whole set it'd take me 6 weeks to get the whole set?
:(
@covert berry u can press p to pull out all skills ingame
o for some reason the weekly popup appeared for the raid okay cool
and meld to that breakpoint
is eden once per week?
is there where the 505 gear drops
eden's verse
@lament citrus ok thanks
I'm perfectly fine with my current piety at 2453 tbh
ah okay
thanks alot man i appreciate it
very very stupid question. How does one earn GIL? Is it only from quests?
Aslong as I actually pay attention yo lucid dreaming I barely have problems
It's what I got from my base gear
yeah gear tends
@leaden ginkgo lockout is only when gear is released recently
So i dont worry about piety?
if you find its comfortable you can play how you like
Okay
some pieces give more than others
Do I just slot into anything and it doesnt make a difference
slot into whatever can take it
Does lucid dreaming do anything for BLM? Doesnt seem like it
@paper torrent depends on what u have
@sick zenith isn't lucid dreaming healer only?
Its on my crossbar
If not it's basically mp refresh (which rarely used by blm thanks to their mp heal) and aggro reduction
Lucid is effectively useless on BLM due to Umbral Ice
Sweet
Thats what i thought
Umbral ice reduces aggro?
How the helllll can I gear up my cul after 50? Is mb the only way? Or is there like quests that give gear? Kinda want to resort to mb as last option lol
lucid is on all magic
Aggro management tools have been removed as of 5.0 so don't worry about it.
That is to say Lucid no longer reduces aggro gen
I still use lucid for aggro lmao
Right sorry channy I have the spell speed now
I guess not anymore (unless I need mp)
@leaden ginkgo do u have crafter and/or gatherers?
Piety (until comfortable) ► Spell Speed (until 1015) ► Critical Hit ► Direct Hit ► Determination ► Spell Speed
Do I just meld crit hit now or should I try and get everything in
No ); only am doing cul n Alchemist
Wait
Okay so the ring cant have extra crit hit needed so I'd have to add det
Okay I get it
Some are capped on some stuff
This makes more sense
@leaden ginkgo u can buy gear from npc but they r NQ gear
U never need to gear up from mb unless u r after endgame gear and u can't make gear urself
Oh really where, I think it stops at 50 right I actually forgot
Wait what does determination do
Ooo ty what about 70 lol
I'm like 55 rn
But jw
Really?
Yup
Yup
Wtfz
XD ok ty
@twilit arch gonna have to ask you cause you reccomended
What does determination do
Nevermind found it
But they r way weaker than mb/crafted but can be on same level of performance if melded @leaden ginkgo
Also since u r level 55 u can using scrip/moogle tribe for level 58 armor (adpet armor) @leaden ginkgo

So how worth is it to farm the diadem?
Didn't touch new diadem so idk
if you're going to be using restoration to level crafters, then yeah
Should I worry about doing Hunt Board like from FF12? Currently lvl 23
ultimately basically depends, if you're wanting to level your gatherers while stocking up on mats to level crafters via restoration, diadem's worth cos you're gonna kill two birds with one stone
if you're not interested in farming diadem and the diadem mats are cheap, then you can just buy off the marketboard
what are diadems?
its a zone specifically for gatherers
That is in reference to the other dude
Hunt board isnt necessary until you hit later levels
and the hunt board isn't accessible as a lv23, you need to be lvl 50 to unlock it unless you're talking about the hunting log
I see, then I guess I won't be needing these for now. I'll just focus on MSQs and Dungeons.
Just the board near the Company Safe or Chest?
Like the ones from FF12
yeah that hunt board requires you to be lvl 50, and 2nd LT to unlock
Its not like ff12
i only do story quests?
The hunts literally give you nothing but money and a currancy for outdated equipment
I mean the board and the bills look like the one from FF12
should namely focus on the main scenario quest
and blue side quests 
"outdated equipment" alright, that's all it took. Focusing MSQs and Blue SQs and Dungeons. lol Thanks a lot tho.
why blue side quests?
because they unlock content
^
Anything with a plain yellow mark literally only gives exp and items that quickly becomr obselete
content like what?
Aside from a few quest chains
Everything
Dungeons, everything not part of main story
Dungeons, trials, guildhests, emotes, minions
Raids etc.
Dungeons to trials to fashion to raid.... Etc
@proud willow I never saw emote under blue quest
there are several

there's atleast 3 dances that are unlocked via blue side quests
I know /spectacles is from a blue quest
@twilit arch 3 starting dances?
the dances used to be non-blue, I don't know if they were ever changed
Thank you very much. I am learning a lot.
i mean the dances were also introduced before the blue quests were a thing
^
is blue mage a joke class?
this game is kinda slow to level up, cant lie
And I like it that way.
depends on what you're used to, and also how well you know the game
Mr Happy is doing a revisit of the early game, and timing how long it takes to get through all of 2.0-2.X
how much is a story skip?
So how does one level from 62-70 fast now by doing heavens ?
and it took less time than he thought it would
21 euro for me idk in usd
after playing through stormblood
I am now firmly in the don't skip story crowd
seriously
yeah but
you don't wanna miss the story
some people just be that way
true true
¯_(ツ)_/¯
are u saying to me play bdo?
yes
makes sense
problem of bdo is no raids
sadly
also gear problems
well I play bns and it has a long story
but i feel like in bns its faster than in this gae
game*
man it takes more than 10seconds to kill a minion
zzz
how soul wrenching
and yes that's because those games controls are made for more action-y combat
its not fun to play a single spell that has 2-3 seconds casts and deals like 15% of max moob hp
then don't play a caster
try red mage lol
i wont buy this game, im testing
ah
tab target will always be slow with gcds and ogcds compared to action combat games like bns and bdo, you get used to it
this game graphics are kinda good, especially the skills, but the game itself dont attract me bcs of p2p and slow gameplay
cause i feel like if i wanted to level craft/gath, i should just do leve quests, can i make money from restoration?
i would rather pay a 40euros costume than paying montly
Ffxiv P2P? Huh?
pay to play
spent way more in bdo/bns than in ff14
Oh I see idk why i thought it something else but anyways
literally p2w games
@lime sphinx yeah theres items you can sell from the restoration, the dyes, cosmetic gear, emotes
though you might want to double check your server's market on those things
The thing that put me off of BDO was the grind
yea will do , cause i have like 90 leves allowances
Game is more centered bout quality than clearing the game
and crafting for scrips isnt that fast xp, so if it doesnt make money either, i'll skip
lets keep the off topic stuff to a minimum
@lime sphinx fastest way is either leves or ishgard restoration
yeah leves are insane
but i was trying to find another benefit to ishgard, like gil making
i mean, i made quite abit from selling skybuilder stuff i didnt need
pretty low tn
rn*
hi, it seems that it is an entrance to another side but how to unlock it?
thru msq
90k dces
@hot crane msq
I think you have to fly to get to that cave.
@lime sphinx I guess u can get around 60
The transition is above the cliffs not at the ground level.
^
thanks
I forgot bout that part ty smug
@lime sphinx leves are absolutely the fastest for leveling, but restoration is easier in the fact that one, all but 1 mat comes from diadem and two you don't necessarily need good stats to make the mats since you want to HQ leve items for turn ins
since restoration turn ins are collectables and you don't have to 100% to assure the max turn in rewards
So for DoW which is better exp to 70 since done MSQ to 70 (saved from Alimigo whatever called)
from 62
Heaven on high fastest for dps
floor 21-30
-
Roulette (leveling, MSQ, and alliance are the big one. Trial/raid if you needed just a tad to level up)
-
dungeon (but not 50/60/70)
-
HoH only if roulette/dungeon has worse queue time (around 15 minutes)
@lime sphinx leves are absolutely the fastest for leveling, but restoration is easier in the fact that one, all but 1 mat comes from diadem and two you don't necessarily need good stats to make the mats since you want to HQ leve items for turn ins
@twilit arch yes and i realised the 100 scrips dyes go for 40k and sell fast on my server, so ez money
while leveling with free mats
Nope
with comments from yoshi-p, we likely will not be getting one
Rip my 70 Rdm
is it possible to get an armor set from a quest if I skipped them all?
like the Auroral set
each piece given throughout
yes, most of the gear given from the msq is either crafted/vendor gear
or for the post msq (the 50/60/70 portions), they're old tomestone gear
cool ok
specifically the auroral set is from allied seals, there's also a crafted version that shares similar models
just wondering incase I ever want to get them
ill pay attention next line incase I find interest in the set
for GLAMOURRRRR
wats the fc recruitment discord?
Anyone have gunblades macros to share
don't use macros for combat
^
It's really bad (only macro u can go for is the chat macro
macros aren't recommended for combat because they don't queue and they're incredibly clunky

The only optional Gunbreaker macro we recommend is the one to notify your healers that you have used Superbolide
!action Superbolide
!action Hallowed Ground
Yup
Yup
i've also gotten some pretty good use out of a Shirk macro
but that and the immunity macro are the only two i use for tanking
anything I need to know for royal city of rabanastre?
or is it just the same follow your alliance and do what they do kind of thing?
You can go in blind for the most part, though some things might catch you a bit off guard
yes you can
if you're ok with dying a lot then sure
all of the 24mans can be done blind
the only thing that's realistically going to catch you unawares potentially is hashbrown
Hi! Is there a way to deseable chat messages except the messages the game gives you and messages from a party?
and the mask mechanic on the final boss
click the cogwheel next to the chatbox, and click on log filters
you can enable/disable various chat messages types
You can and should go into 24-mans blind.
@twilit arch thanks!
Unless you're particularly anxious about it.
So your group was slow at learning the mechanics, doesn't mean you absolutely need to know the mechanics before hand to do it
I'd rather not be burdened by other people
Then don't play an MMO I guess
If you want to look at a guide first, then by all means read a guide first
But you do not need to look at one do to the 24mans
Other players are not obligated to read guides for public content.
they're casual content, for a reason
Orbonne is only raid that u can't go blind in it
You can do Orbonne blind just fine.
So lets say you're at max culinarian...does it take longer to gather materials or is it better to just buy food off of the market?
How do you think people complete 24-man raids when they first come out?
by getting a lot of their friends together
Not at all.
I am one of them
then they make guides on it
I have never watched a guide for a 24-man.
I am not unique in this regard.
I know you're not
anyway this really isn't the place to argue about it
This is all to tell you, please do not tell new players here that guides are somehow required for 24-man dontent.
But ultimately if its not ex/savage/ultimate, its perfectly fine to go in blind
If you feel more comfortable with a guide, that's fine.
But no one should feel pressured to read a guide before entering a 24-man.
sure guides aren't mandatory
but if you want to burden other people that's on you I guess
nothing I can do about it
Ex blind is fine as well if everyone is on board about it
New players in casual content are not a burden.
there's a world of difference between EX blind and 24man raid blind
24man raids are practically on the level of regular dungeons
24 man raids can afford a lot of deaths
if it's taking the whole group a hell of a lot longer than normal to do the raid then that's weighing them down
I guess it just me hating to go blind after my first orbonne run (players in other alliance went mad for failing Orlando encounter
Orbonne is very hard, even amongst the 24 player raids
Agreed
cos this is no longer appropriate for this channel
@vapid scarab depends on ur gatherers
I just noticed we passed by question without answering it
so uh
you cant get thancred's longer hair from HW on au ra?
I enjoy a lot of classes, I dont know which to gear first, GNB or SAM?
whichever you like more
you can, its from the moddish attire on the mogstation @radiant brook
ty
Also if I want to gear, is it necessary to do savage raids?
Nope
Savage stuff are for people to do more savage stuff
If you just want to enjoy story, and do some alliance or EX on the side
Savage stuff is all optional
You can just gear with tomestone and normal raids
so are extremes
If you mean you want to get the best gear available, then yes savage is required
However, the only content where this gear is really necessary is...savage and above.
So it's like
If you want gear for doing savage, do savage.
Best gears are combination of Savage gear and capped Tomestone gear
that's what chronos said
Engaging with that content at all is totally optional.
/\
I'd like to give it a try sometime
I just moved to aether and I dont know how to go on about to finding people to play with haha
you can join an FC or look on the recruitment channels for statics
or just people to do it with
Start with doing the current EX primals--you can join or start a "learning" party on the party finder.
Then savage is about the same difficulty level as that, or a bit higher.
Alrighty
do ex primals have telegraphs?
?
All content has some of those
I thought Savage doesnt
EX usually has most of the ground telegraphs from the normal mode hidden
it depends
the Eden savages at least
same as savage
Savage adds new mechanics, and changes the old ones
Whether attacks have telegraphs depends on the fight
oh
it's not a hard-and-fast rule what changes and what stays the same
It is not a clear cut "oh all savage has no telegraph"
if anything Savage has more telegraphs, because there's more stuff to avoid 
can anyone guide me through how to link the cd key to mogstation?
!faq steamkey
Do I need to accept Scholar job quests to progress my Summoner job quests?
No
thanks got it done 🙂
Their quests do not affect the other job in any way
they're separate jobs
Awesome, thanks
their story quests are the same as any other job
@jade quartz sorry one more question how do I access through mogstation to buy the other expansions or its only through steam,right now on mogstation it only shows upgrade for real reborn digital collectors edition
What version of the game did you buy, and from where?
am in India and bought just the base game from steam
If you bought the base game on Steam, you are locked into Steam license for all expansions.
ah that makes sense
but what about this collectors edition upgrade its allowing me to buy on mogstation?
I'd argue it's annoying and doesn't make sense
but that's how it is
yea I had no choice sadly only legal way was steam
That gives you the digital collector's edition rewards for the base game.
Are they’re more Beast tribes in Shb besides the pixies
I need more exp daily lol
@midnight slate no
Fat Chocobo mount, Coeurl mount, Behemoth chocobo barding, Win-up Moogle minion and Baby Behemoth minion.
pixies are the only combat beast tribes this expansion
@jade quartz so that does give me the upgrade regardless of me purchasing it through site?
Yes, you're not actually buying any kind of game license by doing the collector's edition upgrade
You're basically just buying a combo pack of ingame cosmetic items.
Collector edition Upgrade is just like other optional items you can buy from mog
how do i make iron ignots?
ah I see so I assume once I purchase shadowbringers as well Ill get access to other collectors edition stuff as well through mogstation?

you craft them as armorer or blacksmith
You become a blacksmith or an armorer
Yes, every expansion has its own collector's edition stuff
which are all bought separately
Heavensward, Stormblood and Shadowbringers.
!item iron ingot
The recipe should be around that ballpark
(When you buy Shadowbringers on Steam you'll also get the other two expansions)
@jade quartz oh no am aware just wanted to make sure I unlock those through mogstation as well
thanks
Yeah they'll be available once you have the expansions
done got shadowbringers as well gonna check mogstation as well thanks for the help 🙂

Well are Stormblood beast tribes good?
they're decent ish past 70 but not gonna be as good as pixies
Level 40 in coerthas. Am I 4/5ths of the way though ARR?
pretty much
Yeah
That went quicker then i expected
really?
Pixies are worth about double the exp relative to your level that the Stormblood tribes were worth from 60-70
a lot of people think it's slow
Or maybe ive been playing a whole lot of final fantasy 👀 👀
to make up for there only being one combat tribe this time around
maybe
Ive been having a harder time getting through 7r
You're that far through base ARR
In terms of interest level
though at level 50 you'll have the post-ARR quests before you enter Heavensward
Fair enough
oh one more thing does the exapnsion also have to be registered through mogstation or its automatic?
Steam version so yes
got it 🙂 thank you guys
also whats a recommended method of payment because ive heard lots of problems the last few days on this channel here
I use steam wallet, never any problems
I just tried my dads card directly it worked 🙂
steam wallet requires u to fill the wallet first kinda like how the ps wallet works or u can direct pay through it?
pretty sure direct
Requires you to fill the wallet first but you can do it all in one process
just means a few extra clicks
People have problems with direct pay if their bank does a chargeback
and SE suspends them over that
Steam wallet provides safety from that possibility
What's the best way to level in Eureka?
NMs? Mobs?
idk at this point have heard a lot of conflicting ideas
lol
right welp I did direct pay for all hopefully the card company wont block it
but I guess from next time ill do steam wallet
do your daily challenge log, and then work on mobs that will spawn NM around your level if there's no train happening at the time
otherwise, try and get on the NM if you can
hi guys, returning player, i have a ton of stuff clogging my inventory like deltascape crank, tarnished gordian chain, what is the best thing to do with all this stuff
if you have enough tokens, you can exchange them for gear to either keep for glamour or turn in for gc seals
otherwise can just toss stuff like that
they turn in at the same vendors they used to like in idyllshire?
yep
tyvm

Are the challenges in the challenge log changing week to week, or do they stay the same?
they're the same
What's the CD on True North?
45s to recharge
neat so I never have to worry about Trick positional
if you wanna use it all the time up to you, but its more for emergency cases where you cant position behind/side of the boss
can you your hairstyle changed and stuff as well as use glamor on the free trial?
sorry if i sound weird, don’t know the terms yet
yes
oooooh cool! thank you
both of those are unlocked via lv15 sides quests
Ahh i see.
Can i ask where people buy clothes other than the ones given in quests? I tried going to the marker in old gridania but i don’t think i can use the board or whatever it is there
market*
pretty much a variety of dungeons, crafted/vendor gear, or tomestone/raid gear
Hey, i noticed the dancer and the gunbreaker are the least used classes, are they bad/unbalanced or are they just hard to unlock?
How can you tell they're the least used
I used this site https://ffxivcensus.com/
i would not recommend that website at all
Oh?
for one, its active metric is pretty bad
for two, you can have all jobs on one character
all classes are great and bring something to the table aside from SAM who brings absolutely no utility and should die in a hole
Sam?
Samurai
and they're taking information from lodestone, so its not like its the best means of showing what jobs people are playing/using actively
because lodestone shows the job you logged out on last
@crimson wind Take that back, ill 殺す tf out of you!!
Also the text is crossed out meaning that it's sarcastic and it's a lie
nah, SAM has no utility, therefore is shit.
SAM is big boi dps tho
please keep trolling out of here
hi are there any ninja daggers that look like kitchen knives?
Thank you for the info, i did some research before starting my free trial, i was planning on going tank as main and become an unbreakable wall, not sure how feasible it is
I still need to wrap my head around the fact you can swap jobs
i chose to go archer to then switch into bard, is that the correct path?
yes, archer becomes bard at lvl 30

@leaden ginkgo hmm not kitchen knife per se, but a lot of the low level knives do have more knife like appearances
oh i see, thank you
I cant make my mind up on what job to main, do you all just switch between different jobs whenever you feel like it?
yea. switch on demand. gearsets and hotbars swapped with a single click
being <1mo into the game myself, I recommend not starting with a tank/healer class. Doesn't mean you can't main it. It's just that in dungeons, you kinda gotta know what you're doing or else everyone dies.
Does enmity have a cap? Like if I already am on top of the list, I have tank stance on, I provoke, off tank provokes and shirks will i hit a cap and they won't stop attacking me even for AOEs?
Tank/healer is fine to start as
No cap to enmity
Huh
!action provoke
I really like GNB but I also really like PLD and SAM as well
yea no reason not to play them all.
I have all classes unlocked haha
I just never really bothered going in depth w/ the game
and it sucks
For tanks, it is not hard to play them all well
Its Alchemist thats makes scholar/summoner arms right?
yes they make most of them
I bought the game, but when I logged in, it still says I'm on the free trial when i add a friend?
Are you on pc?
ya
did you apply the codes to your mogstation account
make sure you're logged out completely when you apply the code to your mogstation
as the game will download the files you don't ahve
logged out as in all the way to the launcher
How hard is it to play as a tank alone? Am i still able to occasionally do dungeons alone or do i need to rely on others at all times?
thanks!
You can't do dungeons solo when you're the same level as it.
Mhm alright thanks
Depending on the exact dungeon you'll probably need to be 10-15+ levels above it.
Sorry if this is too open ended of a question, but what exactly is a blue mage and why don’t any of the new player videos talk about it?
It's a limited job, you can't use it in the duty finder with randoms, you have to either have a premade or go alone
It also can't do story
Then what’s the point of playing it in the first place
For fun
Fun minigame
Why make a class that can’t play most of the game
what’s the biggest limit in your opinion to the free trial other than the obvious level cap?
The lack of available chats
yeah, i thought that too @warped nest
BLU offers people a way to revisit obsolete contents
Ah ok
If you join the game this year
You missed the opportunity to do previous savage raids
BLU is another mean to try these contents
Huh
You are OP AF compared to other jobs at the same level
Ok
Why make a class that can’t play most of the game
because a big part of the community kept complaining about it not existing, but SE didnt have the time to properly balance it with all the skills, so they made it a minigame
so basically without the market board you can’t buy anything from other players in game?
Interesting
yep, cant even trade either
ah i see, so to get any nice gear you’ll need to do it through dungeons and stuff like that?
or craft it yourself
Yeah
ah i see
any lvl 50 weaponsmiths that can meld on here?
If you just need normal melds you can use the NPC melders found in the city-state marketplaces.
They're marked on the map with a blue materia icon
Can someone tell me what this is and how do I get rid of it lol
That's a job gauge for whatever your current job is.. It's used for skills and what not. You probably don't want to get rid of it.
It's your gauge for Thaumaturge/Black Mage and is tells you a lot of important info about various buffs/timers.
Lol ok
You can turn it into a simplified version through the hud layout settings.
though it starts off as this
Personally, I suggest keeping it as is
At high level, it tracks 4-5 different things
Might be easier to stick with the original design
You can adjust size, position, and transparency though, @lofty pulsar if it helps making it easier to your eye
ok
