I tried searching it on market board but there are no treasure maps
slate arrow
that's because they don't go by treasure map
obsidian patio
type in timeworn if you don't have partial search enabled.
slate arrow
You have to search for their actual name
forest lark
I'll try
forest lark
Alrighty then time to be rich
marble drift
Like Wynne said before. You're after Zonureskin ones. and again. You need to be level 80 and have a party.
gritty oracle
Dragonskin Treasure Map can drop dungeons, correct? How many people are required to clear those dungeons? Also, can the chest be soloed by a 72 DNC?
obsidian patio
The treasure dungeons sync you down
forest lark
No probs I already have 2 80s but both healer
obsidian patio
so soloing isn't possible
forest lark
I hope healers arebwanted
obsidian patio
honestly any party comp works for treasure dungeons as long as you have at least one tank and healer
marble drift
you could literally have 7 healers 1 tank and it'd be fine
or 7 tanks 1 healer.
just 1 of each. rest is whatever
forest lark
Haha alright, I'm looking forward to trying this map thing. Enough of this no-gil life
gritty oracle
Huh. I thought it works like this: the chest spawns, you open it, you defeat the initial enemies in the overworld (like lower level maps) and then the dungeon spawns
marble drift
then the dungeon MAY spawn
Treasure maps are the biggest RNG fest you've ever seen
everything. is random.
slate arrow
It's a pretty high chance in all honesty but sometimes the portal doesn't spawn
forest lark
If dungeon doesn't spawn, I get no reward or anything?
marble drift
the initial chest contains a bit of gil and some minor stuff
obsidian patio
The outside coffer still has a chance of dropping some loot that can be found inside.
forest lark
Ah good
obsidian patio
I've managed to see the outside chest drop a Shell Leather and those are worth like 300k+ on gilgamesh
slate arrow
also sometimes drops the rare crafting materials for the expensive glamours
which are generally always in demand in some fashion
obsidian patio
And also the pure amount of gil you get from the inside chests.
forest lark
How much approx.?
leaden ginkgo
Hey peeps, do you know any cool and clear guides for a beginner players that want to get into crafting? I would like to start leveling up my professions and I have no idea where and how to start.
obsidian patio
the 5th floor chest drops 100k gil per person
gritty oracle
Should I use the PF to get a group for my level 60 map? My FC is pretty dead at the moment, it's early in NA.
obsidian patio
but getting to the fifth floor is pretty low chance.
forest lark
Ther u go lol
obsidian patio
assuming it's an even 50/50 to go to the next floor, 5th floor is like a 3% chance. (not counting the chance of glowy doors)
gritty oracle
I'm not level 80 yet.
marble drift
Then work on that before you attempt side stuff my friend
gritty oracle
I am happy doing random content to have fun, my friend.
drifting burrow
hi! my friend's a maxed blacksmith but apparently, the scrip exchange doesn't let him buy level 61, 70 stuff/it doesn't show up as an option
marble drift
right well no-one wants to do level 60 content. So...
slate arrow
@drifting burrow are they looking at the scrip vendors in idllyshire or rhalgr's
drifting burrow
no
lament wagon
you can just loot the initial treasure chest
obsidian patio
Complete the quest "Reach Long and Prosper" in Rhalgr's Reach, too if they haven't.
slate arrow
@gritty oracle it's also 6 am on the east coast so it's highly unlikely you'll find map parties, especially for older content
You'll probably have better luck in the US afternoon
gritty oracle
Hmm, fair. Hopefully my FC will wake up by then too, they're pretty friendly and always teaming up to do stuff like roulettes
lean quest
how big is the exp bonus in these servers because ive been waiting for quite a bit and refreshing keeps not letting me select
vagrant copper
2x XP until level 70 for at least 90 days
lofty pulsar
playing thaumaturge. are traitslike passives and are on all the time? or can I put them in a slot?
lean quest
2 times? thats big
marble drift
Right. But I don't get how you can't select it
vagrant copper
Traits are passive
marble drift
Preferred Servers arn't meant to be congested.
lofty pulsar
ok
marble drift
hence the preference.
obsidian patio
Preferred/Standard/Congested status is only updated on patch updates.
vagrant copper
Apparently they only update preferred servers during patches. People flock to preferred servers therefore they get busy enough to prevent character creation. Which means the system is working as intended.
obsidian patio
So the longer a patch goes on the more filled the preferred worlds get.
marble drift
Makes sense.
vagrant copper
@lean quest Which server are you waiting on?
lean quest
hmm so that means I wont be able to even create one till it gets free I assume
light
says lich and zodiark are both full
obsidian patio
Yeah you'll have to wait for a quiet time of day in the EU like late at night or early morning.
vagrant copper
Wouldn't it be like noon on a Sunday right now? That's a bad time for any server
lean quest
yea noon ish on a sunday
welp bad time for me to start lol
although everyones home anyways so its gonna be tough from that regard as well
lets say I make it on Odin Or Twintania for now, and then switch it to Lich/Zodiark when its allowing players?
or the character created in the server stays there?
vagrant copper
Character stays in the server.
You could create a character and play around and then create a second character on the server you want when you can Though you'd obviously have to repeat some stuff.
lean quest
hmm yea figured oh well
gaunt raptor
ok nvm it killed me lol
lean quest
guess I just play the waiting game
gaunt raptor
ah ic, do i get anything for it?
marble drift
Yes but you're going to need a party for it
Nothing overly substantial either
Just some seals and stuff
clever quiver
I've tried to que for Ampadoor Keep a few times now
it gets to "reserving server"
and then nothing happens? There's a full party waiting according to the duty finder
Is this a bug?
vagrant copper
That means your party is formed but needs to wait for server space
It should eventually kick off
clever quiver
i see, I will do some crafting whilst i wait i guess, thanks
cursive flame
what are levequsts
levequests*, without having to watch a 10 min video is there a way to sum it up in 1-2 sentences

basically repeatable miniquests
They're not great experience for combat classes, but super good for crafters and gatherers.

I wanna make this layout again but couldn't for some reason
manic sentinel
Character configuration - hotbar settings
zinc orbitBOT
obsidian patio
As a personal suggestion I recommend moving Teleport/Return/mounts to a separate hotbar away from your main actions
since hotbar space for all of your actions is very valuable
sleek roost
Pretty smart to make that a shared hotbar (Character Configuration - Sharing) as well so you can have all your utility stuff on it for all your jobs. Mounts, teleporting, spiritbond potions, gysahl greens, etc
marble drift
Limit Break.
I personally am super against keybinding LB
if you fat finger like shift 5 or something and healer lb1 or 2 or something everyone is gonna be super mad
pallid eagle
heard there a trick get from 1-40 fast ?
pallid eagle
how does one do that ?
wintry chasm
Wouldn't say there is any such trick
obsidian patio
You can have a friend help you kill overworld monsters but that really only works until like level 20.
wintry chasm
Just do you're roulettes and highest level dungeon spam if tank or healer or roulettes then Palace of the Dead as a DPS (spamming floors 51-60)

Hey there 🙂 Our FC is trying to unlock the different sectors with the submarine. Right now we are in sector "O" which is the The Wreckage of Discovery 1. We send it to the Wreck for about 10 times, but we dont unlock the Deep-Sea-Side 5... My idea was, that one of the stats of the submarine is too low. The level shouldnt be a problem since its nearly 60. Can you help me out?
obsidian patio
@pallid eagle if you have a friend go to Azys Lla and tag monsters while they, while not in the same party as you, one-shot them
if not then kill monsters at your level or a bit higher

Hey i just unlocked Amdapor Keep but despite trying various things, i couldn't get in for hours. What's up with that? You could queue (as tank+healer) for 1 hour, leave, do a trial, then queue again and it would be "reserving Server" forever
Does this dungeon have its own, bugged server?
obsidian patio
Bots use it as a dungeon to farm for gil.
so it gets congested in terms of instances
rain seal
But its so bad you cant ever get in? any way to fix?
obsidian patio
You just have to wait or be a high enough level that you can solo/duo the dungeon with undersized duty active.
since I'm 99% sure that undersizing bypasses the instance queue
leaden ginkgo
why dont they fix this?
obsidian patio
You can't just "fix" bots.
Bot scripters are always adapting and do their best to stay ahead of the curve.
if anything, the instance limit acts as an unfortunate double-edged sword that helps slow the amount of gil that bots can generate at the cost of making queues longer for normal players.

At what time will I be able to create a new character in Zodiark since it is unavailable due to congested server all the time

I suppose you could look at your achievement list on lodestone and look at your oldest achievement which you should tend to get around day one and then just work out the difference between then and now and take that away from 90 Dura

Quick question, on average how long is it to beat the original msq?
Not including the expansions
marble drift
Are you skippin cutscenes?
or are you carin' about the story?
Carin = a day (roughly)
Not Carin (5-6 hours)
assumin' you already know whats goin on

Not including expansions, not including patch content, I'd say....10 hours if you're watching stuff
Hard to really say Frostbite

@wintry chasm sorry was afk! and I tried that it says IP address must be specified

Depends on how fast you are, how fast you read, what optional stuff you do
warped nest
Well... MrHappy did a replay of the 2.X MSQ before the adjustment in 5.3
I think it took him around a week
Take note that this is an experienced player who know his way around
And he didn't do side content, only story
wintry chasm
Yeah but that's not really an exact amount of how long it took him in game
I could do ARR in 3 months if I played an hour at a time
or ARR in a week
warped nest
That's fair

@lean quest and you're just doing something like this?

Incoming stupid question.... Can skybuilder mats only come from the diadem or the market?
magic light
diadem and market
carmine laurel
Okay, cheers.
lean quest
ah I see, any number will do?
wintry chasm
Also that's not the right IP address for NA servers
lean quest
yea I was checking for EU first and thanks its working now @magic light
wintry chasm
@magic light Jolt is used to get duelcast to cast verthunder and veraero
lean quest
says average is 132 ms
lean quest
@wintry chasm how much is usually an acceptable range and great, but this is weird US has lower ping this is weird
mint shale
In there a housing discord? if so where do i find the link to it?
lean quest
@wintry chasm nvm was for another server my bad
mint shale
https://housingsnap.com/3976 or, can someone tell me what is this floating spike housing item
lean quest
ok yea for an actual us server its average is now 247ms
raw solstice
To expand on the jolt response. RDM has a particular flow for short cast to proc dualcast -> use dualcast on a long cast spell. For single target this means jolt -> veraero or jolt -> verthunder. And if you get a verstone or verfire proc off of the veraero/verthunder (which can be forced using acceleration) then you use those in place of the jolt, since they give more black/white mana and are more damage @magic light
wintry chasm
Okay that's really bad Lav
magic light
oh, so against 2+ mobs, I use the normal ver II's?
and against single target, I use jolt into the ver and procs?
lean quest
yea x.x, also what the usual acceptable range?
wintry chasm
over 100 is a bit iffy but over 200 is just awful
lean quest
yikes
wintry chasm
For example I feel really confident you'll get hit by aoes that don't look like are hitting you
hoary storm
I play with 170 just fine 😄
wintry chasm
170 isn't 250
dim ridge
@mint shale not 100% sure which but it's not a floating spike, i can see under the 'top' of that that it's likely some kind of stool or smth, lemme look
mint shale
it actually moves up and down
im confused how they gt it to do that in the first place
is there some kind of floating housing item?
lean quest
yikes yea Ill avoid us servers then and I checked right now for elemental it seems its just as much as eu server 130 average
mint shale
Also there's a video in there that shows the spikes moving up and down
magic light
.... what's scatter for?
vocal star
its possible to survive centaur charge without invuln?
raw solstice
2-target is a bit of a weird situation where you actually get marginally more value out of jolt 2 -> impact instead of veraero2/verthunder 2 -> impact (lower level that's scatter instead of impact). When leveling and you only have jolt and not jolt 2, it might be better to still use the 2's but past that you only do full AoE at 3+ target
Scatter ends up just being your "long cast that gets dualcasted" which later upgrades to impact
zinc orbitBOT
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
raw solstice
Yup. Though just to reiterate since I see it commonly misunderstood (though you might already understand), for single target the verstone/verfire procs replace the jolt in the sequence, not the verthunder/veraero
dim ridge
huh, so it does. i suppose there's only so many housing items that move, but my brain's not workin atm i can't think of what it may be
magic light
so, I'm fishing for the ver procs to dualcast into the vers that take forever with jolt?
wintry chasm
y-yeah
magic light
damn, it seems confusing to word it out but I get it now
raw solstice
@vocal star you can yeah, though it's generally just cozier to invuln it

hi!!, what gear should i aim for after the Shire gear? Alexander maybe?

As soon as you reach [65 dungeon] itll be a bit hard to only use shire gear

but how do I unlock S-Rank hunts?

dang... could anyone help me try to understand the map/continents. just rewatched all the cutscenes I missed, took about an hour, but feel good on storyline now and ready to jump back in... but wtf. are there three main contienents on the world, and Eorzea is one of them..?
where do the three grand companies fit in

wintry chasm
The Three Great Continents is Aldenard to the west there that pretty makes up 80% of Eorzea (Eorzea being Aldenard and the outlying islands like Vylbrand), Ilsabard is the clouded area up north where the empire is, Othard is the far east to the east there and that's the last Great Continent. There are others in the world but these are the only continents we really get a map of
Like for example there is The New World to the West of Aldenard that is basically "Not America"
leaden ginkgo
cant carry anymore tomes of poetics, what do i do with them? im level 59
is there 60 gear i can buy?
wintry chasm
The three grand companies are basically just the militaries of the city-states of Limsa Lominsa, Gridania, and Ul'dah in Eorzea
In Idyllshire Soltie
You'll want the shire XXXX gear
Have you actually done the hunt unlock quests? @leaden ginkgo

Guys, about how many lv 80 choices of armors do we have? the SB MSQ has 3 lv 80 dungeons, is that it? or would I need to do post-MSQ dungeon in order to adquire my BIS items?
wintry chasm
Like the people they subjugate have no human rights, they love genociding beast tribes to prevent them from summoning primals and so on and so forth
faint flare
Theres a fair number of lv80 gear
wintry chasm
dungeons don't drop BIS items Felix
BIS items are from the allegory tomestones (upgraded) and the savage 8-man raid gear
leaden ginkgo
Oh
faint flare
And there's alot more gear at each level cap, the story just never has you do them
And its all side conte t
Like 24mans, 8man raids
More primals

is there any point grinding gear sets until max level?
leaden ginkgo
so after the story I should just do blue quests?
leaden ginkgo
rip
leaden ginkgo
I mean I have time to do the blue quests now, since im lv 78 level gated on MSQ...
or maybe I should roulette instead
wintry chasm
Not only are some raids kinda important for MSQ but some of it also just unlocks great things for xp and other system stuff
leaden ginkgo
I did heard that unlocking more dungeons adds up to the roulette
which equates to more exp

when you get yellow, you can buy the blue scrip tokens

If it's for clear only ask in PF

so i should get to 80 and do unsync??

its one way. although i think HW extremes will still be hard solo

are you refering to wanderer's minuet, mage's ballad and army's paeon?
forest lark
What world on Light has the cheapest market?
whole wasp
probably Odin but not always

not sure if I can ask for this here but is there any "alternative" way to download other than the official launcher
got an error at 60% and I'm dying
forest lark
I'll check out Odin rn
whole wasp
not that i know of, sorry.
when my launcher sometimes don't download the patch files properly, i use a VPN and it helps
but full game download will be terribly slow
whole wasp
if you havent bought the game yet. you can try steam

does anyone know if i delete an account, will the characters for that account be deleted and their names be freed up? returning after long time and wanted to start fresh with same name so was wondering
nimble rain
at which level can I solo Bahamut raid solo as PLD?
I never got to experience that part of the story as a BRD
quiet crystal
I solo'd Bahamut up to T8
marble drift
@short flume why not just delete the characters on the account?
short flume
i lost the subscription since im starting after long time, so wanted to avoid having to buy for that account and delete it manually
marble drift
uhh. buy what?
short flume
a subscription...dont i have to have a subscription to delete it? or can i just log in and delete that character without a subscription o.o
slate arrow
Short answer: if you can't search up the character on the lodestone then yes it's deleted
marble drift
Right but to make a new account you'll need to re-buy the game all over again
slate arrow
Why do you want to delete your account?
marble drift
game licenses are linked to a single account.
slate arrow
namely, a single service account
slate arrow
You do realize the username is only used to sign into your account right
It has no effect in game
marble drift
yeah no-one sees it but you
you don't even like add people by it like you do with the battle.net system WoW has
slate arrow
You can only add characters to your friends list
The only time you can see someone's account is when you're on PS4 since you can see others psn ID on PS4
marble drift
also again
you'd have to purchase FFXIV and its expansions
again
to get a new account on the game
well you can make the account for free but without another FFXIV game-key that account wouldn't be able to log on
onyx kiln
is there any point i getting Eureka Gear if the one i have is from ShB?
marble drift
Also Glamour.
slate arrow
Since only eureka gear can go past the i300 item level limit
next wind
can someone explain to me this please? To get 100 points I must wear those 4 pieces right?
but since I'm a MCH I can't really wear those 4 pieces? So I can go with aiming pieces listed in the boxes at the top?
marble drift
It is the easiest way
whole wasp
if you dont have a tank, you can try using the dye list on the top right to try to make up for it
agile laurel
quick BLM q - should I be aiming to end fire phase with despair?
slate arrow
It's the easiest way but if you can pick any other piece in the top row then those work as well
@agile laurel yes
agile laurel
right
next wind
what do you mean use dye? so I could dye any armour?
slate arrow
look in the top right
agile laurel
and i'm not dead sure how aspect mastery helps my rotation? Is it just so I can blast despair or flare and not have to transpose-tick til I can reenter ice recovery?
whole wasp
no, individual pieces of armor are dyable sometimes
slate arrow
@agile laurel yes
agile laurel
alright
whole wasp
aspect mastery allows you to despair/flare without having to transpose
next wind
yea I see it, I know how dye works but I can't get the legs piece seems like
slate arrow
you can just cast blizzard 3 rather than having to transpose for a small amount of MP
marble drift
Or you could just get 80 points @next wind
agile laurel
so fire phase is now F4 F4 F4 F1 F4 F4 F4 despair B3
marble drift
and wait until another week to get the title
next wind
okay I see with just the dyes
agile laurel
or something like
whole wasp
basically
agile laurel
wonderful
slate arrow
yep
agile laurel
thankies
whole wasp
there is despair manafont f4 despair too but its niche
marble drift
Remember the title is a once-off.
next wind
so dyeing any armour would do right? thanks sorry first time xD
marble drift
Yeah. remember to not have any blank slots
next wind
okay so I'll dye random armour, get the pieces listed for 80 and not have any blank armour spots
marble drift
Yep. easy 80 points
whole wasp
yup. that should work perfectly for 80
next wind
great thanks!
marble drift
Keep your eyes to reddit incase an easier way to claim your title comes up
OR level 1 of every class >_>
slate arrow
I mean it's much easier to get every job now since you have expansion jobs which start at 50 and 60
Now it's only healer you have to level from 30 minimum
whole wasp
ohyea, could just unlock gunbreaker quick-like and wear the gear too lol
marble drift
ohyeah you should unlock all the classes that start semi-leveled. its a quick process
don't have to play em but...gives you the option if you want to which is always nice
crystal bluff
what would you guys say is the most "fun" ranged dps
whole wasp
i like Dancers since i get to press the glowy buttons
marble drift
thats really hard to quantify
cause I personally find dancer too chaotic
Fun is subjective. really subjective
crystal bluff
i tried BLM before, but it just seemed to be cast fire until out of mp, then cast ice until MP is back
over and over
marble drift
Yep thats BLM boiled down to its absolute base components alright
Fire 4 to victory
Real quick. semi-related
You said ranged dps. Did you mean casters too?
crystal bluff
yeah
crystal bluff
oh
marble drift
Dancer, Machinist, Bard
There really isnt another term you could use so Ranged is Ranged and Ranged Spellcasters are just Casters
crystal bluff
i see

If what you're after is a more complicated caster class. Try the other two. Summoner and Red Mage
they can't be simplified as much like Black Mage can
native ingot
How should I level my healer from 10 to 18 so I can start the dungeon grind? How should I lvl my goldsmith from 73 to 80
quiet crystal
hunting logs
marble drift
for Goldsmith. Either do the Crystalline Mean quests
quiet crystal
What I usually do is hit level 15
marble drift
or if already done. Leves
quiet crystal
do Smithy quests to 16
do level roulette after.
Which at point I'm level 23~24
with road to 70 that is
for GSM if everything else fails, Ingot grind
native ingot
Smithy quest?
native ingot
What is that
quiet crystal
Usually in the adventurer's guild
There's an NPC with a sprout on top.
Talk to him to get training missions
native ingot
For healer?
quiet crystal
They give you gears and EXP ring
native ingot
Ok
quiet crystal
The smithy quests are available for all classes at level 15
oh sorry it's the Smith, not Smithy
humble birch
is there any use for poetics at lvl 80
marble drift
first ones free, following ones require 4 of these things which are 250 poetics each from one of Rowena's ladies
marble drift
no. first ones free.
you should have a 1000 in your pocket for your SECOND level 80
humble birch
right
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
just follow this list for how to spend your poetics if you care
marble drift
I've already got a 50/60/70 set for every combat class variant.
humble birch
I'll get a new currency to use for lvl 80 gear right?
marble drift
Yes
Phantasmagoria and Allegory tomestones
Phanta is your poetics replacement. Got from every 80 dungeon. plentiful, not really that useful
Allegory is your "weekly" tomestone. You can only obtain 450 a week
but is used for better gear
lime sphinx
My friend bought the game on steam a couple months ago, now she wants to play on a mac , does the license still work ?
marble drift
if you install steam on that mac yes
humble birch
what's the ilvl that most people on shb are on right now?
remote lintel
like 480
surreal lichen
Is there somewhere I can buy wind shards for cheap? only have 20k gil and trying to level goldsmithing
marble drift
Yes.
go unlock botanist and miner real quick
and just smash low level nodes for wind shards
literally free!
lime sphinx
FFXIV on steam doesnt support mac
but tbh, dont level goldsmith if u cant even afford wind shards
slate arrow
Then you'll have to buy a Mac license
lime sphinx
well, u always can, but its not efficient
remote lintel
I thought the Mac license was only for Windows
surreal lichen
will start mining then !
quiet crystal
low level you're gonna get like 4 per nodes
Until you get that one skill I forgot the name of
surreal lichen
just running to miners now but is it gonna be something like osrs where i hit a node, it regens and i do that again? or would it be like goldsmithing where im spamming cp
marble drift
no. GP regenerates over time
at super low levels you won't be using it much
nodes do respawn but only once you clear a couple nodes
so you end up doing small loops.
quiet crystal
in ARR the nodes are close together
So just run circle with those
and by the time you clear them they'll spawn again for you to continue
gleaming narwhal
Is there a good way to obtain the materials for leveling goldsmithing aside from buying them from players or mining?
marble drift
like level 1 to...15?
quiet crystal
Try to mine them yourself so you level miner up too
Gatherers are easy to level in general
slate arrow
Housing vendors do offer materials which are used up to level 50
marble drift
generally the vendor right inside your guild will have everything you need for a very small amount of gil

placid tinsel
i bought the code through steam
placid tinsel
yes i have bought other games off of steam before
placid tinsel
i bought the pack and it gave me two codes
one for base and one for shadowbringers
remote lintel
did you redeem it in the right place
slate arrow
!faq mogstation
zinc orbitBOT
slate arrow
don't redeem it on steam if that's what you're trying to do
placid tinsel
i went to mogstation and it says the actual code is invalid
remote lintel
are you trying to enter it into "item code"?
agile turret
where do i open my wondrous tails? i just did the quest but i dont know where to open the actual item. cant find it in keybinds, can't find it in the actions and traits thing grouped with other things like hunting log

sonic leaf
I got my character to level 35 in the trial. If i want to continue, should i but the starter edition, the whole set for $60 or just the shadow bringers for $40?
sonic leaf
Oh gotcha
remote lintel
if you like the story so far i suggest buy the complete edition
quiet crystal
If you have a non-steam version
Newegg has a game on sale for $45
complete edition
quiet crystal
Do note that steam version and non-steam version are incompatible
remote lintel
means windows version of the game
sonic leaf
Ok i think i have that. I don’t open steam to play
remote lintel
yeah then you probably do
you CAN transfer a trial account to a full game on steam
but i wouldn't recommend that if you plan to buy the newegg thing
sonic wing
Is there no way to get the Shadowbringers +30% earrings pre-order at this moment as a new player?

nope @sonic wing

remote lintel
probably
sonic leaf
Does my road to 70 continue if i get the newegg game to continue my trial character?
twilit arch
yes its fine @quiet crystal
quiet crystal
faint flare
Yes
remote lintel
road to 70 lasts for 90 days
faint flare
You only lose road to 70 after 90days and if the server is no longer preferred
sonic leaf
Awesome. I’ve only been doing the msq and the class quest every 5 levels. I’ve been over leveled. Msq I’m at is for level 25 and I’m 35
quiet crystal
That's normal
remote lintel
road to 70 is going to over level you a lot at first
marble drift
if you don't want that you can level 2 classes at once but its best just to be overleveled
the dungeons sync you down anyway
quiet crystal
Also even with double xp the game catches up eventually
sonic leaf
Yeah I’m enjoying the causes of not dying 🙂
quiet crystal
It's just enough to save you from having to grind to reach next level
Until Shadowbringer
sonic leaf
Do each expansion has its own MSQ?
marble drift
Yep
faint flare
Yes, its all linear
marble drift
but its 1 big contiguous thing
remote lintel
the MSQ is one long story through each expansion
sonic leaf
That’s good.
marble drift
events in 1 area will matter in the next (storywise)
faint flare
All builds of each other
sonic leaf
Simplicity is great for me a newbie
marble drift
but its more like seasons of a good show
they have overarching storylines but plots in the middle too
sonic leaf
So even though i chose adders as my loyalty, story is the same roughly?
faint flare
Yes
marble drift
exactly the same
remote lintel
grand company doesn't affect story

It doesn't matter

now either go again or go get more seals
quaint gate
Excellent,now i spend them
open coral
Do that until you run out of seals or need to do a challenge
faint flare
So make sure you do thst
marble drift
each promotion gives you a bigger seal cap iirc
remote lintel
keep spamming apply for promotion
quaint gate
I did. Out of seals now.

And certain promotions give you new stuff to buy

Of the tanks and healers is there a common consensus on which ones are hardest to play? I wanna press buttons a lot.

AST for healer

you want active
not hard
AST is the most active
GNB is probably the most active tank

Maybe GNB for tank?

It’s not a bug
marble drift
Correlation is not causation.

Sounds good, out of curiosity which are hardest then if the difficulty comes from other things?

the difficulty doesn't come from the class itself

it comes from fights

so the only way to get to the Shire gear is through unlocking Ishguard right? Because that's the only way to get to Dravania
remote lintel
yes
leaden ginkgo
so I have to do 100 MSQ stuff to get to that point
remote lintel
all the poetics gear is at 50, 60, 70, 80

..........
open coral
Idyllshire, not Ishgard
remote lintel
yes
the poetics gear is at intervals
its not something you can get one after another
leaden ginkgo
yeah but Idyllshire is only unlocked after Ishguard
open coral
Poetics gear is endgame gear
quiet crystal
I mean MSQ gives you gears
remote lintel
what aura said
quiet crystal
So you'll be fine
remote lintel
the poetics gear is tied to dlc
once you finish that set the next is in the next dlc
leaden ginkgo
so I have to burn through not only the ARR MSQ but also the HW MSQ in order to get the next set of gear upgrades?

You just have to get to Idyllshire to access the poetics vendor
