remote lintel
#

however people have said that monk has the most straightforward combos

silk summit
#

Gotta remember mudras though

remote lintel
#

but every single monk move is a positional

#

mudras are ez

static yacht
#

ninja mudras make their opener kinda messy but after that its pretty easy. Easiest melee DPS is a tank lel

vagrant copper
#

I would've thought lancer was the easiest but never got too high in it

remote lintel
#

oh right

#

dragoon exists

#

i think dragoon is easy too

silk summit
#

My personal opinion is dragoon but that's highly biased

proud cypress
#

I do know dragoon. It is pretty easy.

#

It's just the same rotation that gets longer as you level up. Plenty of ogcds though

silk summit
#

Every class is gonna have those

proud cypress
#

Of course

remote lintel
#

either dragoon or ninja imo as long as hes ok with memorizing ninja combos

proud cypress
#

Aight cool, thanks. I can probably help him if he goes lancer, then

finite ferry
#

ninja seems more mid ranged than melee to me. the mudras do magic damage i heard

remote lintel
#

just because it does magic damage doesnt mean its not melee

teal badge
#

i wanted voice chat for the reason of being social than for actual requirement for FF its self

solemn delta
#

Yeah all my mates have moved from FFXIV to Halo MCC PC gutted no discord chat now lol

leaden ginkgo
#

wild random wonder

#

I wanna do all the Shared 60 Fate Rank 3s

#

Should i do it on Summoner or White Mage? :,D

#

I ask cus its likely im leveling one of these jobs from 70 to 80 doing that alone

static yacht
#

if its a boss you won't be able to solo it without heals

leaden ginkgo
#

Points to Chocobo

static yacht
#

but it's faster to do all the other ones as summoner just because of damage

leaden ginkgo
#

yah, i feel

#

Tis mostly to get the Healer Role quest rolling

#

Summoner would give me caster too, sure, but, nyegh

static yacht
#

you can get summoner to 72

#

then switch to scholar

#

and start the healer role quest

silk summit
#

Summoner levels up scholar too

crimson wind
#

The MT shouldn't be killing adds yes?

static yacht
#

for what fight

crimson wind
#

Just in general

solemn delta
#

On PLD I just spam my aoe

faint flare
#

If the help is needed then yes

crimson wind
#

I know it depends from fight to fight

faint flare
#

And do so without cleaving people

solemn delta
#

Depends some bosses dps can just take adds

fresh lodge
#

It depends on the fight, there is no general answer

faint flare
#

Faster adds die, faster people fet back to the boss

crimson wind
#

I usually don't because cleaves

static yacht
#

if the ads are causing the healer to take damage you probably don't want to make the healer's job more difficult

#

healing a tank is easy

#

being chased by shit that takes 1/2 your hp is annoying

solemn delta
#

Yeah I generally just claim every add tbh

static yacht
#

then again it also depends on what level you are like in qarn no one ever aggros the ads cause the boss dies too fast if the DPS are competant

solemn delta
#

And if I'm talking too much damage for my healer that's what my Cds are for

flint wasp
#

Is my quest bugged? I have the level 10 fishing quest "The Princess and the fish" - I have to go to Nym River to catch a "Princess Trout" - I have done so but quest does not update or anything when I catch it.

burnt wraith
#

Is anyone a dragoon and on aether data center that can kind of help me.out with learning how to play dragoon. I just wanna make sure I'm doing things right

solemn delta
#

Someone linked me a really good guide before

#

I'm now keeping up with my bro on MNK

twilit arch
#

was it a high quality princess trout? @flint wasp

flint wasp
#

does it have to be? i just thought i had to catch one.

twilit arch
#

yes, it does

hollow nimbus
#

just left limsa lominsa for new gridania, is the a realm reborn main storyline basically going over the 3 main hubs?

vagrant copper
#

For the most part, yes. Later on, it'll branch out a little

#

Do squadron members get any XP from killiing stuff in command missions or is it just the command mission XP itself?

#

(i.e., is it worth killing stuff to level them up?)

flint wasp
#

@twilit arch Thank you for the response, I shall keep fishing!

solemn delta
quiet crystal
#

just the mission itself I believe

#

it's a good way to level up your low level DPS though

solemn delta
#

Anyone have link for full guide?

#

Or does the 72+ single target just refer to any guide?

twilit arch
#

!faq blmguide

zinc orbitBOT
twilit arch
#

is what its referring to

solemn delta
#

Darn read only can't save it lol

idle heath
#

Hey so question... on PS4, with controller hotbars... can I “split” my left and right trigger bars so I can put my active-enemy screen between them?

faint flare
#

No

idle heath
#

Doh

crimson wind
#

I should use TBN at the start of a pull yes?

faint flare
#

On bosses? Depends if the bosses autos Do enough to break it

crimson wind
#

yeah

#

If I'm in a dungeon do I use it on myself?

remote lintel
#

then yes if you are mt

faint flare
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

if you are ot you can use it on the mt before a tankbuster

forest laurel
#

should I be doing a lvl 59 dungeon or a lvl60 dungeon for a lvl 60 job to level up to 61?

leaden ginkgo
#

59

#

Patch dungeons give less exp

twilit arch
#

never do lvl cap dungeons for exp

#

the exp is just tacked on so its meh compared to what you'd get from the leveling dungeon (47/59/69)

trim badge
#

Does this game have crossplay with console?

strange coral
#

Yes, PC and PS4 play on the same servers

trim badge
#

Yes, PC and PS4 play on the same servers
@strange coral that's awesome, thanks

misty talon
#

can you recruit a friend while you have the trial?

vagrant copper
#

Probably not...? We had someone in here the other day who was on trial and didn't have the banner on their account page

misty talon
#

i got the game a few hours ago, so still learning the basics lol

solemn delta
#

Managed that quest easy I did gain a level doing msq rouleete but with sleep and manAward it was a breeze lol

#

Dunno if a level would hsve made the difference

shell sail
#

Hey! I’m having little issues with installing the game. So my question is that is it possible to change the download directory from launcher or somewhere, when i want to install the game?

vagrant copper
#

You can install the launcher wherever you want and that's where the game will be downloaded. If you're using Steam, you might have some extra steps to make a new Steam library or something.

#

You can also move the launcher/game after installing it with seemingly no problem

shell sail
#

Yeah, i’m using Steam...

leaden ginkgo
#

From what I've gathered in my time here, there are benefits and detrimits to steam; I wouldn't worry about possibly picking the "wrong" one :p

strange coral
#

When you do the initial install from Steam, you should have the option to choose a location to install too. I would think the launcher would install the rest there as well

solemn delta
#

Jeezo reading that blm guide at 59 has just blown my mind 😂

#

Clips this clips that don't even know what it means unless it's keeping a Dot up and not refreshing it early wasting dps

uncut fiber
#

Hey guys, what are the Ancient Plundered gear (e.g. helmet, trousers) supposed to be used for? O:

cunning raptor
#

Is there a way for me to send an item to a friend whos on another server?

#

I dropped a nidhogg scale and he needs them, so I figured he could have it but he doesnt appear on my mail list

faint flare
#

Find and trade them

#

You cant mail cross server

shell sail
#

@strange coral I can confirm that it doesn’t help. It will like somehow automatically install the game into the documents...

solemn delta
#

Is that what clipping is, reapplying something like TIII when there's still 10+ seconds left

#

Unless you get a T3p ofc

spring oasis
#

I cant meld a lvl 70 cause I have to be a lvl 70 DOH, is that any DOH? to do it

#

so like I can be a lvl 70 goldsmith

strange coral
#

@shell sail Only other thing I know of is to let Steam download it. Then right click the game in Steam, go to Local Files, and use the Move Install Folder button. You might need to create a new library location in Steam settings first if you haven't already.

#

Assuming FF14 allows it. I don't have the Steam version, but have other games on Steam that allow that.

vagrant copper
#

Steam doesn't install the game in anything like Documents. Unless you have Steam itself installed into Documents

#

Which would be silly

obsidian patio
#

@uncut fiber the green token items from a couple level 50 ARR dungeons?

strange coral
#

You can add Documents as a library folder I guess. Not good practice to do so though

shell sail
#

I’m just running out of memory from the path where the launcher/steam wants me to install it. Anyways, i’ll take a closer look later, so thanks for the help.

obsidian patio
#

@spring oasis yeah any DoH works

raw solstice
#

@solemn delta clipping has two different definitions, so it's a bit based on context

  • GCD clipping. oGCDs have their own animation lock, so if you try to put one between two full casts, you'll clip slightly into the second one, delaying it slightly. To counteract this, you generally want to try to "weave" oGCDs, using them after fast or instant casts where you'll be waiting on the GCD timer anyways, so you don't incur that slight delay. We have a handy BLM-specific bot command version to explain this if you're interested, it's !faq blmweaving

  • DoT clipping. Basically, refreshing your DoT while it's still applied on the target. For BLM, at higher levels you want to be a bit more specific with thunder and thundercloud proc usage. For proc you use it when the DoT is falling off, or the proc is about to expire. In the latter case, you might clip the DoT slightly to do so, depending on when you got the proc, but this is still reasonable. In the case of hardcast thunder, you want to cast it when the DoT completely falls off. You don't really want to be in a situation to be clipping your DoT with a hardcast thunder. Though, at 60 the lack of a second filler cast for UI (which you'll have at 70, and then a better version at 80 for single target) sometimes means that it's just something you have to do

pure surge

I've just completed A real reborn and haven't done any of the post ARR stuff yet but every time I go into Castrum Meridianum as a tank I notice that I don't have that good of gear so my hp is only about 2000 while the other tank's is about 7000-9000. What can I do to make my hp larger? Sorry for the dumb question I'm still not completely used to mmo's yet

idle heath
#

Question; how do I upgrade my poetics armor? Like my level 60 shire sets

normal oasis
#

hey all, what's the best way to level from 60 (DNC) to 80? I'm new

faint flare
#

@idle heath buy the "-est" items and go to the forge area opposite the centre building
Theres a stall there who upgrades gear

raw solstice
#

@pure surge make sure you do your job quests. They'll reward some good upgrades for gear, if you haven't already gotten any of that yet. MSQ will also give you more gear along the way, and you can also spend tomestones of poetics in revenant's toll in mor dhona for some ironworks gear (item level i120, can be upgraded to i130). Better gear means more vitality, which means more HP. As well as helping you deal more damage and take less damage, too.

Prioritize weapon, for which you have to purchase 10 rowena's tokens (poetics) and an encrypted tomestone to exchange for a weapon. If you're on PLD you only need 7 tokens, and then the extra 120 poetics go for a direct purchase of a shield. Also look to replace anything that's a particularly lower item level

pure surge
#

Yeah I'm on PLD

#

I've done the job quests up to level 50 and got an armor set but it doesn't seem to do much

hollow nimbus
#

what level were you when you finished arr? @pure surge

raw solstice
#

to make sure, you get two armor sets there. One comes in a coffer which is in your inventory

#

you can open that up for some ilvl 90 gear

hollow nimbus
#

just wondering cuz i havent finished it yet so id like to know where ill be when it end

pure surge
#

I was 51 I'm pretty sure

hollow nimbus
#

ight

pure surge
#

Wait really @raw solstice ?

#

There's another armor set that I had in my inventory that I didn't know about?

mossy current
#

It's the coffer

#

Looks like a chest with a bunch of stuff in it

pure surge
#

I had no idea about that

mossy current
#

Use it, and armor will appear in your armory chest if it is not full

pure surge
#

Thanks! The current armor I'm using was only i45/i50

solemn delta
#

Thanks @raw solstice screened that will have a look after my raid!

raw solstice
#

@normal oasis roulettes each day as a priority. Try to hit 61 so you can farm heaven on high to level up to 71. Or use dungeons if you're bored/would prefer, but queue times can be a bit slow as a dps. To note though, level 60 (and level 70) dungeons aren't especially good for leveling, they're meant more for tomes. So if you want to farm dungeons to help go over the hump of those levels there, you'll want to farm the level 59 and level 69 dungeons, respectively

pure surge
#

Prioritize weapon, for which you have to purchase 10 rowena's tokens (poetics) and an encrypted tomestone to exchange for a weapon. If you're on PLD you only need 7 tokens, and then the extra 120 poetics go for a direct purchase of a shield. Also look to replace anything that's a particularly lower item level
@raw solstice
How do I get these tokens by the way? I don't think I've heard about them yet

raw solstice
#

so, for tomestones of poetics themselves, you get them from roulettes and instances starting at level 50. As far as spending them, here's a link which has info on where to buy gear with them at each level cap, along with other information if you happen to have a surplus down the line:

#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
#

has locations of NPC, how to upgrade stuff, etc. Lots of good info

scenic orbit
#

Does this kupo bot go down often?

pure surge
#

Oh wow thank you a ton!

#

This is all super helpful thank you a lot for the help Rika

raw solstice
#

no problem, happy to help

#

and nah kupo bot is pretty reliable for the most part

scenic orbit
#

Isn't Ser Aymeric better?

#

Or does kupo do things ser can't :S

raw solstice
#

not inherently better or worse, just different

#

we store all of our faqs and various other special commands on kupo

leaden ginkgo
#

I think they do the same things

#

Honestly idk

raw solstice
#

they have some crossover for what they can do

leaden ginkgo
#

I must use it to look at pictures of myself

remote lintel
#

same

And sometimes this

#

Anyone's game randomly closing recently?

No idea what's causing it

solemn delta
#

Well I should see a damage difference from 107 to 260 right? Lol

raw solstice
#

yeah that might just be fairly significant, perhaps~

#

HP, defense, and damage will all be quite improved haha

solemn delta
#

Yeah hitting like 3000+ regular fires instead of 900 😂

#

Still unsure about sharp cast though

raw solstice
#

so, sharpcast is an ability that forces a proc from fire, from any thunder cast, and also technically from scathe (please don't sharp scathe)

solemn delta
#

No I read the whole guide says only ever use scathe if your running and boss is like 1% lol

raw solstice
#

fair enough haha

#

so basically outside of that you'll generally just want to use it roughly on cd when you can weave it next, on either fire or thunder. Thunder's a bit stronger, but you don't want to have to refresh your DoT early or anything just to catch sharpcast before it falls off. Or if you have to do anything to compromise your rotation just to sharp thunder in a specific situation

solemn delta
#

Yeah got ya. So always fire unless your thunder is gonna drop

raw solstice
#

well, not quite that, either

#

the buff from sharpcast lasts 15s so there's a good bit of leeway in time to use it. At level 60+ you're only casting one fire each AF cycle as well

solemn delta
#

Yeah I'm just unlocking F4 and B4

#

Enochian seems simple enough. Keep AF or UI up and you have access to your most powerful single target spells (for now)

raw solstice
#

yep, pretty much

dawn tinsel
#

Is there anyone here good at gardening that can answer a question about crossbreeding?

hoary storm
quartz shale
#

@dawn tinsel what’s the question?

dawn tinsel
#

I've been reading tons of crossbreeding guides. And many examples never say anything about harvesting slots 1, 3, 5 and 7. Only to harvest 2, 4, 6, and 8 and replant.

#

Won't the locked corner plants die?

quartz shale
#

Nope

#

Fully grown plants don’t die

warped nest
dawn tinsel
#

Oh really? what happened to purple smoke? that doesn't happen anymore?

quartz shale
#

Not for fully grown plants

#

ahh

Has the harvest sparkles? It’s immortal

I have this question for ages now , while leveling my job , do all level 50,60,70 dungeons give the same exp?I can't choose which one to do

#

There's like 9 level 70 dungeons

#

they all give like no exp

#

if they're level cap dungeons

#

Which one do i pick to level up 70-71 then ?

#

Lvl 69

#

When you do lvl 50 and lvl 60 jobs, you want Aurum Vale (lvl... 47?) and Great Gubal Library (lvl 59)

Quests for aether currents should be pretty obvious, right? I'd assume a bluequest on the map somewhere

twilit arch
#

yes

#

they're gonna be bluequest

#

unless they're from msq, which the last one usually is

vagrant copper
#

Figured it would be something like that. Back to the MSQ!

How do I get Lalai’s clothes

hey guys, yesterday on FF logs I had stumbled on a page that showed the 'most' played classes that were logged.. does anyone know where I can find that page? Everything was listed in %

brazen edge
#

I have a question, I made a new character but it says that my world is not accepting new characters at the moment. Can I save the character I made so I can pick up where I left off later?

twilit arch
#

@valid idol red mage, not really. bard has more things to keep track of but i wouldn't consider it that much harder

normal oasis
#

@brazen edge best time to circumvent that is make a character at night, like between 2-4 AM

valid idol
normal oasis
#

nah that wasn't it unfortunately

brazen edge
#

Okay, will my character be saved though? I would I have to start from scratch

twilit arch
#

it gives you the option to save appearance when you're done creating your character's look

normal oasis
#

@brazen edge yes, if you are making a new toon you'll be level 1 with no MSQ made

valid idol
#

o wait thats only one raid or something idk

normal oasis
#

@brazen edge but you can transfer your current character to a new server, and it will retain the levels etc

brazen edge
#

Oh alright, I would have to transfer from the Mogstation right?

normal oasis
#

yeah, you buy a transfer token or w/e, I think it's 15 or 20$

brazen edge
#

Ohh alright, thanks

static pasture
#

once i hit lvl 80 is it a case of get MSQ up to date then unlock everything? or is there more to it

normal oasis
#

get msq caught up, because there are Primals/dungeons that are locked behind it

strange coral
#

Still need to do MSQ to unlock endgame stuff

#

You can start collecting the endgame tomestones from roulettes though iirc

static pasture
#

oh sick ill carry on then!

strange coral
#

Just won't be able to spend them until you finish the 5.0 msq at least

static pasture
#

i getcha, im on lvl 79 quests

normal oasis
#

Ah you're almost done then

static pasture
#

yeah i was same lvl as quests all of ShB

#

way ahead during ARR and HW

#

also, is there any way i can get this quest exp on another class?

#

like 800k exp going down the drain each quest

twilit arch
#

only if you've got another lv 79 job

late temple
#

Do any of the stormblood beast tribes give decent combat xp

twilit arch
#

ananta and kojin are good for 60-70

#

can do them a bit into the 70s though they're not going to be as good as pixies

late temple
#

Pixies are wild such crazy xp for the time it takes, thanks for the info!

fluid tinsel
#

What is the highest damage potential dps in the game rn?

obsidian patio
#

Fight-dependent.

Ok, how do I get iron and silver ingots?

slate arrow
#

all jobs have aoe

obsidian patio
#

Not really, but it has better damage if it can keep their dots up against multiple monsters.

#

It’s not like some jobs are only good for AoE

#

@urban torrent craft them or buy them from the marketboard.

urban torrent
#

What job?

obsidian patio
#

ARM/BSM for iron ingot, GSM for silver.

lucid wharf
#

hi does anyone know if I buy an EU key can i use it on my NA account

#

or will it not work

obsidian patio
#

Won’t work

urban torrent
#

Ooookay time to join those two things

quiet crystal
#

materials for crafting iron ingot can be bought in tradecraft suppliers in major cities

#

Silver ores needs to be mined near that one no-aetheryte town next to the quarrymill

#

or MB

urban torrent
#

And also time to level Miner

#

All this to fuel my weaving addiction

quiet crystal
#

iron ores, if you don't want to buy them, can be mined near that low level mine dungeon entrance

#

Guys if I dye my boots and then change my glamour plate, will my boots loose the dye?

#

because there are cases in which my armor just takes the look of another armor piece that I used as a glamour (idk why) and I lose the original look unless I "Cast Glamour"

#

if I cast it, will my boots still have the dye I used on them?

#

Dye your boots on the glamour plate

#

And it will stay that colour

#

But if your boots arent on said glamour plate

#

Then it will change

#

The problem is that my boots are the actual ones I use for battle (Neo-Ishgardian

clever cave
#

yes its not the best design but if u dont want to lose your dyes , use them in glamour plates

leaden ginkgo
#

so i cant just make it a glamour

#

Then dont glamour over them

#

I guess my answer would be to buy a new pair for plating?

#

Just dont glamour over them

#

Make sure the boot slot of your glamour plate is empty

faint flare
#

You can put the boots in the dresser

#

Put on the plate

#

Then withdraw

leaden ginkgo
#

No cause hes using the boots

#

Wait

#

Im gonna change boots soon, as soon as I get another Eden boot anyway

#

Huh

faint flare
#

Just withdraw after

leaden ginkgo
#

Hol up

#

One second

faint flare
#

Withdrawing doesn't affect plates

leaden ginkgo
#

my brain hurts

faint flare
#

Doesnt need to stay in the dresser

leaden ginkgo
#

I'm going to go test this

#

Yo

#

That's poggers af

faint flare
#

Put boots in > Put boots on plate with the dye > save > withdraw boots

leaden ginkgo
#

thats big brain

faint flare
#

Items dont need to stay in the dresser once saved on a plate

leaden ginkgo
#

Pog

#

Would I lose my materias if I put them on the dresser?

#

meh, worth it

faint flare
#

Uhhh maybe

leaden ginkgo
#

Yes

#

Tbh

#

IRS like

#

50k for the boots

#

it has x2 +40 Crit materias, but its nothing too expensive

#

the boots themself go for like 70k here in goblin

#

I'll do the dresser -> save thing

strange coral
#

You can also try to retrieve the materia first

leaden ginkgo
#

I tho you cant recover materias

faint flare
#

You can

#

Tier 6 and under is guaranteed

#

7 is 80%, 8s are 40%

leaden ginkgo
#

oh, id need spiritbond 100% right?

faint flare
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh here's a question

faint flare
#

Thats for making materia

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there a way I can make it so my ui changes in battle

#

just "retrieve materia" then?

faint flare
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Like I dont need the duty list when I'm in a trial or something

faint flare
#

Not without using a macro to change hud layout

leaden ginkgo
#

it'll do

strange coral
#

There's a setting to hide the duty list during instances

#

Character config -> UI -> HUD

faint flare
#

That too, it will only show the dungeon objectives

#

And remove your quest stuff

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks

hey guys

#

im trying to unlock eden verse refulgace Savage

#

I completed the required quest and I didn't get it unlocked?

#

literally just finished that quest

strange coral
#

I think you need to go to Ahm mrang and talk to the minstrel there

velvet reef
#

ah I got it had to speak to lewry

nova umbra
#

what is the best rotation to maximize quantity from an unspoiled node? just King's Yield?

prisma flume
#

What quest is before The city of lost angels? tryna start my relic quest but i cant find this side quest in kugane

proud willow
#

Welcome To Their Jungle is the quest immediately before it

queen cove
#

Sorry to bother, but what options do I have for speed leveling my botanist? Currently level 56 with 7 allowances left

proud willow
#

if you haven't done any of the Rabanastre raid quests yet, the first one is Dramatis Personae in Kugane

queen cove
#

I still have custom deliveries but that's at level 60

junior yacht
#

do Ishgard Restoration

faint flare
#

Gather in diadem with survival manual and food

leaden ginkgo
#

so i have my whole game installed but the launcher keeps trying to reinstall the entire thing

junior yacht
#

you sure it's not installing patches?

leaden ginkgo
#

it says it's ~31,000 mb in total

vagrant copper
#

Any changes to your account recently? Buying the game, expansions, etc.?

leaden ginkgo
#

that'd be a big ol patch haha

#

also no, was running fine yesterday

junior yacht
#

ok yes that would be weird

leaden ginkgo
#

booted up the ol pooter and now it is mandating i reinstall this entire thing even though the folder is still there

#

taking up the 40-somethin gigs

vagrant copper
#

30 GB is about the size of the base game. Let me guess, Steam install?

leaden ginkgo
#

yeeeep

vagrant copper
#

I got nothing. Might just be best to let it go.

leaden ginkgo
#

lovely 9 hours of downloading

remote lintel
#

has this happened once or multiple times?

queen cove
#

If I were to spam diadem from 56-70, how long would that ideal take?

leaden ginkgo
#

first time

remote lintel
#

might be corrupted files or something i dunno

leaden ginkgo
#

doin a little readin and i think its just steam doing the funny thing where it ""verifies"" files and just ruins the whole thing

#

prob it

queen cove
#

Never attempt to repair through steam if you have it

#

Yeah

#

Steam only has ARR, so it resets you back if you try to verify the game files

leaden ginkgo
#

amazing

#

i just started steam and it did that on its own

#

very nice

visual lily
#

Hey does anyone know if theres a guild recruitment tab?

#

i'm trying to join a clan/guild thats newb friendly

leaden ginkgo
#

There's the lodestone, that's primarily what ppl use for that

#

There isn't one in-game though, no

queen cove
#

I have a 1tb hard drive so I always dupplicate ffxiv in case it does that

leaden ginkgo
#

(course, that name will differ on server but your main hub server is aether too)

#

would i be able to just launch the game without steam ever again

#

so this wont reoccur

#

That would require buying it outside of steam afaik XP. Maybe try manually starting the exe? Idk if that'll work tho

visual lily
#

Thank you

leaden ginkgo
#

i can start the launcher but i get This service account does not have a valid FINAL FANTASY XIV license for this platform or your subscription has expired.

#

when attempting to log in or sumn

#

Ah yeah, probably won't work then xp

crimson wind
#

What does the letter next to enemies names mean?

remote lintel
#

it marks identical enemies

crimson wind
#

Oh

remote lintel
#

so you can actually discern them

#

from one another

twilit arch
#

its not specifically identical enemies, its all enemies you aggro gain a letter

#

its not really used that much, but its just a quick way of being able to tell someone 'hey attack enemy A" or whatever

#

Where do bone chips spawn

twilit arch
#

nodes should be like near the steps of nald or thal

urban torrent
#

Yes, I am there, I have never seen any bone chips

vagrant copper
#

If you look on your map, it should say Spineless Basin somewhere in Central Thanalan

twilit arch
#

are you on miner?

urban torrent
#

Yes

twilit arch
#

and did you use prospect?

urban torrent
#

Yes.

vagrant copper
#

IIRC, they're closer to the Sultantree than the city

And now I found some. Fucking wonderful.

has anyone gotten reshade to work

fluid tinsel
#

So I'm playing on my gf's account and i want to switch her key binds cause it went back to default. Does the binds save on a cloud or on per computer

strange coral
#

On the computer

fluid tinsel
#

is there a way to import export

strange coral
#

There's something on the title screen that can backup and restore settings iirc. I never messed with it.

#

You can also copy the settings files

fluid tinsel
#

Thanks!

strange coral
#

Ah, not the title screen, but the character select screen. Right click the character name on the right

#

And files are in %USERPROFILE%\Documents\My Games\FINAL FANTASY XIV - A Realm Reborn\

#

My friends are new and jus finished the my little chocobo quest but can't mount their chocobos n mount guide is grayed out

twilit arch
#

did they use the whistle

vagrant copper
#

They should have a whistle in their inventory that they need to use

forest lark
#

I'm not in a game right now, so does anyone know the price for Form and Function modern aesthetic on market?

white bronze
#

Is this a possibile glitch

open coral
#

Also a relevant question for @white bronze - is your friend attempting to mount their chocobo inside of an instance city (Limsa Lominsa, New Gridania, or Ul'dah)?

white bronze
#

My friends are new and jus finished the my little chocobo quest but can't mount their chocobos n mount guide is grayed out

#

Is this a possibile glitch

open coral
#

No

#

It's not a glitch

vagrant copper
#

No. They need to use the Chocobo whistle in their inventory.

does the forge you unlock at lvl 80 just give you base lvl 80 gear?

or does it give better gear over time

just the i430 leftside gear and weapon

hey lore nerd

Is he not in the tower?

not in there

wintry chasm

Clearly hiding from you then

remote lintel
#

this chocobo coloring is confusing me

#

if it says the plumage will change in 6 hours but there's no "your chocobo is growing new feathers" did it work??

jade quartz
#

@ember goblet He's ||resting and inaccessible. One of the last scenes in 5.2 MSQ is you telling him to get some rest already.||

twilit arch
#

if you didn't get the message that your chocobo is growing new feathers, then you didn't feed it enough to cause a change @remote lintel

remote lintel
#

is there like a maximum amount of times you can change their color in a day

twilit arch
#

no

remote lintel
#

oh ok

burnt wraith
#

Is there no way to get regalia now?

whole wasp
#

right now nope.

burnt wraith
#

Damn

whole wasp
#

regalia is expected to return in the mogstation

#

eventually

#

most event items come back in the mogstation a year after their first introduction

mental garnet
#

is there a setting that keeps the launcher open when you press play?

#

if i'm at my home computer i'd rather not use my OTP every time

burnt wraith
#

So basically the mounts are free and if u miss the event period then u gotta pay for it

slate arrow
#

yep

warped nest
#

Just don't log out, Zephyr

candid wraith
#

so i just started playing for a couple weeks and trying to look into glamour stuff- are the cool looking ones supposed to be giga expensive on market?

#

or maybe im just poor af idk

whole wasp
#

usually the latest/newest ones are giga expensive

#

the older ones calm down over time (similar to irl)

candid wraith
#

im looking them up for eorzea collection and everything people posted there are either mogstation vanity/giga expensive like 300k a piece

whole wasp
#

oof

candid wraith
#

yep.

whole wasp
nova umbra
#

what does this mean? It has to be the finishing blow, or the attack right before the finishing blow?

candid wraith
#

ohhh

#

tyty

#

is there a better site for it out there?

whole wasp
#

also, you can wander limsa and just check out people with interesting glams!!

candid wraith
#

yeah i've noticed! ppl there and ishgard has super cool looking ones

whole wasp
#

@nova umbra iirc, its the finishing blow or about 2 to 3 seconds before the mob dies

#

anyway, its mostly for flavour. its too unpredictable and the bonus too little to aim for it.

fluid tinsel
#

is Rescue for WHM worth hot baring

#

anyone use it?

blissful lava
#

Situational and it depends on You

vagrant copper
#

It... can... be useful

whole wasp
#

sure. people can troll with it but it can also save groups.

pastel knoll
#

Is there rumor of a new job coming in the next patch

whole wasp
#

you mean limited jobs?

fluid tinsel
#

I just imagine pulling a tank out of a AOE thats unavoidable

blissful lava
#

I don't think so.. I would love that kind or rumour though@pastel knoll

iron oracle
#

It is worth cuz first of all u can kill ppl who are mean to you and second you can save your buddy :^)

fluid tinsel
#

but then i also imagine pulling a tank out of a fight and getting everyone killed

#

XD

whole wasp
#

there is some talks about beastmaster or puppermaster as a new limited job but its kinda far-fetched right now

blissful lava
#

Oh No... not limited jobs...

#

The concept is bad imo

#

I hope they reconsider the limited Job aspect 💔

whole wasp
#

@fluid tinsel a couple of examples,
(1) a boss fight has the arena split into two with a death zone in the middle. rescue anybodying over from left side to right side or vice versa will kill them
(2) party member gets hit by debuff that makes them walk uncontrollably, they are about to walk off the arena, you rescue them and they dont die

#

rescue also helpful for uptime tricks.

fluid tinsel
#

wait so if they split the arena and i rescue it assumes the ally passes through the death zone?

whole wasp
#

melee DPS has a mechanic they have to go far far away from the boss. mechanic ends, you rescue them to the boss so they can hit it again

#

they comm you ❤️

#

yes, rescue can kill people if you pull them over death zones

#

or pull them out of platforms

fluid tinsel
#

unluckers rubber duckers

whole wasp
#

i remember a healer very committed to homicide, they jump off the platform and rescue someone while jumping to kill them haha

vagrant copper
#

Network latency and how the server calculates movement makes Rescue really unreliable a lot of the times. It's unfortunate

blissful lava
#

It has its Uses, Like I said, It depends on the User and The Situation

nova umbra
#

are positionals not a thing in potd?

whole wasp
#

iirc potd mobs are all circles?

nova umbra
#

yeah looks like it when they're selected it's only a circle

vagrant copper
#

Oh, yeah, that's a thing

whole wasp
#

anyway, if its a circle no positionals required

nova umbra
#

so I don't get the bonus, or I always get the bonus?

blissful lava
#

Only MNK uses Positionals Right?

vagrant copper
#

Rogue has one or two

whole wasp
#

@nova umbra always get the bonus with circles

nova umbra
#

oh cool thanks

whole wasp
#

Cien, all Melee DPS have positionals

#

DRG, SAM, NIN, MNK

blissful lava
#

I know about MNK & Previous DRG but not the other Two

#

Its a hassle imo these positional are 😓

nova umbra
#

does Hide have any use against bosses?

whole wasp
#

not really. most bosses have true sight.

twilit arch
#

you use hide to reset mudras before teh boss is pulled

#

that's it

whole wasp
#

if you are lucky, you might get in a trick attack at low levels before the boss spots you.

twilit arch
#

no

#

the moment the boss is pulled, you're popped out of hide

whole wasp
#

oh it doesnt work?

#

F

blissful lava
#

Yup @twilit arch

nova umbra
#

could you explain the reset mudras thing?

blissful lava
#

I didn't know about that either

twilit arch
#

!action hide

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Hide** : lvl 10 ROG NIN (20.0 second cooldown)

Blend in with your surroundings, making it impossible for most enemies to detect you, but reducing movement speed by 50%. Has no effect on enemies 10 levels higher than your own, or certain enemies with special sight. Additional Effect: Restores 2 charges to all mudra Cannot be executed while in combat.
Effect ends upon use of any action other than Sprint, or upon reuse of Hide.

twilit arch
#

so when you become a ninja, you'll get mudras

#

ten, chi, jin

#

you have 2 charges of them

#

once you get high enough in level to get huton

#

You use your mudras to get huton and then hide to reset them back to 2

blissful lava
#

Ehhh??? You can charge Mudras using Hide? What if you just used them in Battle and then Hide during battle.. oh

mossy tartan
#

Is there a glamour that represents the greeks’ toga?

twilit arch
#

You can't use hide during battle

leaden ginkgo
#

Every melee has positionals

blissful lava
#

Never mind, Yeah silly Me@twilit arch

leaden ginkgo
#

And it sucks

twilit arch
#

using hide to reset mudras is strictly before a boss pull

#

or between trash packs

blissful lava
#

Positionals should be reconsidered imo, kinda useless

leaden ginkgo
#

Not useless

#

Adds element of skill

blissful lava
#

Ehh...

leaden ginkgo
#

It's also not exactly hard

blissful lava
#

My opinion I guess

leaden ginkgo
#

It's a pretty decent mechanic

twilit arch
nova umbra
#

does the reset thing only work for huton?

twilit arch
#

no

#

its just an example

nova umbra
#

so anything that can be used before you get in combat I'm guessing

#

so maybe that AOE you drop since it has a cast time?

twilit arch
#

the hide reset is specifically for your mudras, ten/chi/jin

like if you zone into a trial fight you use jin > chi > ten to put up huton because its your buff you want to keep up always

mossy tartan

and then use hide so your mudras are reset back to 2 so you can use ten > chi > jin to use suiton to trick attack and then be able to use ten > chi to raiton

as a new player, should i get the shadowbringers now? or wait till im at late game?

@mossy tartan you can't get the makai gear anymore. but the republican stuff is bought with wolf's marks in the wolves' den, pvp

I think it’s better to wait, and see if the game is to your liking

@mossy tartan you can't get the makai gear anymore. but the republican stuff is bought with wolf's marks in the wolves' den, pvp

#

What is the daily frontline?

#

pvp?

olive lintel
#

Do we have a crafters discord?

leaden ginkgo
#

It's a roulette for frontline pvp

mossy tartan
#

Do we have a crafters discord?
@olive lintel there’s a craft section for DoH/DoL here

leaden ginkgo
#

It gives a ton of exp and guaranteed 1000 Mark's on top of how much get for playing

whole wasp
#

there is also teamcraft and balance has a doh/dol section too

You can

#

eden's gate is no longer weekly locked

nova umbra
#

what does this exactly mean? I use it and it puts my weapon skills on gcd

little swift
#

shadow fang is on the GCD

twilit arch
#

but it also has its own cd

little swift
#

^

#

its similar to some other skills like drill/bio blaster of the MCH job

twilit arch
#

if you look at spinning edge, or any of your weaponskills besides shadowfang they say something like "recast 2.5s"

#

the #s might be slightly different depending on how much skill speed you have, but the 2.5s your global cooldown

#

shadow fang on the other hand, has a recast of 67.27s

nova umbra
#

so simply put, basically it just means it has a cd of 67.27 seconds

twilit arch
#

yes

nova umbra

okay lol it's that simple, thanks

What's an easy way to know which astro cards go on melee or ranged DPS?

I thought having them light up on a hotbar would work but I can't drag them

They have different color borders for melee and ranged

fervent oar

@lime sphinx When you use that i-faq (no dash) command, exactly what FAQ is being searched?

I think purple is for ranged, but I forgot exactly

leaden ginkgo

Where the fuck is gangos

oak ice

u know from where in demon enclave to access?

ya purple for ranged, blue for melee

You can use the aethyrites to go there if you've been before, or take the boat at the harbor

leaden ginkgo
#

oh dang yh i rem now

#

thank u @oak ice

#

may god bless you

fervent oar
#

Mister, are you still here?

sturdy mason
#

Is there a good way to distinguish between ranged & melee DPS in party list without relying on the job icons (which I find unintuitive and have not memorized them all)? Like maybe a different color than red? A macro of some kind? I've already gone into party sort and moved all melee DPS to the top and ranged DPS to the bottom of their category, but this can be unevenly distributed in full parties

jade quartz
#

No, you'll have to memorise the job icons.

sturdy mason
#

I'm learning AST and I haven't had to care before as a WHM, so I'm trying to see how I can make it easier to know what to click & throw a card at without thinking about it too hard

open coral
#

Once you've been doing it long enough, identifying job icons will be second nature and you won't really have to think about it.

jade quartz
#

Especially if you try playing them all.

how useable is surecast

for WHM

jade quartz
#

You mean how useful?

static pasture
#

looking at feedback on maybe placement of spells, gauges, just general criticism really

fluid tinsel
#

yea should i hot bar it?

jade quartz
#

It's only useful when a fight needs it.

open coral
#

Surecast is situational use only

jade quartz
#

Some savage raids or ultimates, effective strategy hinges on it.

#

But otherwise it's useless.

#

So hotbar it somewhere out of the way.

@fluid tinsel it has uses for against knockback mechanics

#

@static pasture take a look at the pinned guide in #protips-and-ui so that you can see how to use macros to create a menu/hide some of your ui elements when you don't need them

open coral
#

@static pasture Placement of spells on your bars is going to be a pretty personal thing. As long as there's logic for you, then it's fine. The primary objective when arranging your bars is to make it so you can easily utilize your abilities when they're needed.

little swift
#

otherwise i'd probably just move the aether compass off your main combat bars

#

since oyu don't need it after you get all the currents

#

its not something you need to hit super often

#

but if its something that works for you go for it

open coral
#

Aside from that, as Channy said, check out some of the hide-UI macros in the ui channel. I know there's a really slick nested one that I keep meaning to set up for myself that will allow you to effectively keep all of your gear sets under a single main button.

Say, is there a channel to test things so as to not disturb other channels? I'm trying to figure out what the ! faq command does, but I dont' want to do it here.

And thanks for asking 😉

Okay, thanks much.

How do I turn off emote text in chat? Like "(X person) slaps (X person)" or "(X) gently pats (X)" I have it off on my alt but idr where it is to turn it off

proud willow
#

click the gear under the chat window and look for Filters or something like that

vagrant copper
#

Character Settings > Log Window Settings > General > Log Filters

#

There are "standard emotes" and "custom emotes" settings you can turn off for each log

quasi ember
#

Aye ty lots~

fervent oar
#

Okay, guys, I need some good resources on how to learn advanced Discord use. I just found out about the ! faq commands, and I still have little understanding about using bots or understanding them. Where can I get some good information on learning this stuff? Thanks.

vagrant copper
#

The only generic advice I can give is that most bots have a help function to describe the commands they can do. Everything else is going to be really specific to the bot, server, and commands you're trying to use.

#

!help

#

Jeez that's a big command list (thank you mysterious mod)

fervent oar
#

Okay, Goblin, the help function for a bot, where would that be located?

#

Hek, I don't even understand how these bots work!

vagrant copper
#

Go type !help in #kupo-bot-spam and you'll see it

#

All the bot really does is read chat messages and respond to them. This bot is programmed to look for messasges that start with an exclamation mark.

fervent oar
#

Well, I'll start there. I'll have to search the Web, too, to find additional info. (Man, it never ends, does it!)

whole wasp
#

basically, discord user-made bots like kupo automatically does stuff like another user.
for example, there is a common question and a user could save the answer in their notepad and copy paste it into chat everytime it comes up

#

we program kupo to automate this for us so we dont have to look for the answer to copy paste

fervent oar
#

I see. That's pretty crazy. Thanks!

frank anchor
#

when do you get that dragon icon thing as a summoner? :P

#

been looking forward to it

slate arrow
#

which dragon icon

frank anchor
#

like this one in the above pic

slate arrow
#

oh you mean the job gauge

#

the first stage unlocks at level 60 when you get bahamut trance

frank anchor
#

if that's what it's called yes :D
didn't know it's name lol

slate arrow
#

at level 70 it shows how long demi-bahamut is activev

frank anchor
#

oh that's cool I'm close at 53 atm

slate arrow
#

level 80 it does the same for demi-phoenix

pastel knoll
#

How do you get the gear design contest winner gear?

frank anchor
#

oof we get a phoenix?

#

wow

slate arrow
#

which one

pastel knoll
#

The ranged dps

slate arrow
#

5.2 crafted set

slate arrow

i put sprint and auto run on my mouse buttons

rancid cloak
#

guys

#

is there a web that can make me an auto macro for crafting ?

mossy current
#

Look up teamcraft

rancid cloak
#

in team craft i have to put the skills i want to use

#

i was wondering if he can pick me the best rotation or smthn

clever cave
#

there are some lists of submitted rotations but most of them wont work now

#

just make the rotations yourself and train lol

rancid cloak
#

kk

whole wasp
#

and look at other people's rotations for ideas

#

or just copy them

buoyant monolith
#

What does the RP symbol mean next to one name?

whole wasp
#

it just means the player character has indicated they are open to RP

buoyant monolith
#

Ah

little swift
#

that being said consent is still important

whole wasp
#

not a game functionality thingy. just a notification

little swift
#

its not recommended to randomly walk up to someone and rp them

alpine shadow
#

Erp?

vagrant copper
#

It may or may not mean ERP

alpine shadow
#

questionable things
not rper

#

That's questionable

What’s ERP for XIV?

#

Ah

mossy current
#

Pretty much

#

As I've heard, at least

dapper mesa
#

In Primal, are all FCs in famfrit?

little swift
#

is it genuinely true that some of you sit at practice dummies for like multiple hours straight grinding out your rotations? or is that just meme talk
@unique oasis rotations are supposed to become muscle memory so that oyu can apply them in all fights

#

so yes slapping a dummy long enough is one way to learn them

vagrant copper
#

No, not all FCs are going to be in one server of a datacenter. That doesn't even make sense.

little swift
#

you can only join the FC on your world anyways

dapper mesa
#

I mean like generally. More popular. Lol

little swift
#

thats not a statistic that is easily determined

#

likely not the case either

#

Famfrit just happens to currently be a Preferred world

#

so it might have a larger of population/ larger group of recruiters

last vale
#

potd. if i cleared floor 50 already (save slot #1), then i can delete this slot right?

#

the progress is saved anyway

#

so that i can start from 51

twilit arch
#

yes

last vale
#

cant delete the first slot - Saved data from personal groups cannot be converted.

#

i need the 2nd saved slot (floor 21-30) in order to farm padjal, as you can see i cant progress from floor 51 (+14/12 only)

#

if i reset the progress then both slots are gone i assume

vagrant copper
#

Reset is what you want. Reset = delete

last vale
#

ah got it

native ingot
#

Why does the collectables appraiser for goldsmith not accept my items

#

I crafted them normally and made them hq

#

Is there something else needed as well

#

Actually it also shows a box thing next to the name what is that

vagrant copper
#

I haven't done much with crafting stuff but is that how you typically make "collectable" stuff? I thought there was some special process or what not

twilit arch
#

collectable's doesn't want HQ

#

it wants the item as a collectable

little swift
#

you need to craft them with collectable synthesis on

twilit arch
#

you need to turn on the collectable synthesis on

native ingot
#

Bruuuh

#

Ty

#

Are the abilities the same with collectable synthesis

#

Or do they change like in mining

twilit arch
#

they're the same

#

You're basically just change the quality bar to a collectability

native ingot
#

Ok ty

twilit arch
#

and using your skills as normal, but you don't need to max out the collectability bar to get max rewards

strange walrus
#

What can I do with stuff that monsters drop? If I sell them to a merchant, it has nearly no value. Same for low level equipment. If I got a better weapon for example, what can I do with my old one?

remote lintel
#

just sell it

#

if you dont plan on using it for glam

#

same with parts that u arent going to sell on the mb or use for crafting

frank anchor
#

it's telling me to finish those 2 but I don't have them in the duty finder

#

at least not the hard part

vagrant copper
#

Those are available in the Seventh Heaven in Mor Dhona

#

Or...

twilit arch
#

no, theyre in the waking sands

vagrant copper
#

Was it Urianger

twilit arch
#

You also need to complete the previous trial in order to unlock the quest for the next one. So you need to have completed The Bowl of Embers (hard) to pick up the Howling Eye (hard) unlock

#

and then complete howling eye to pick up the navel's unlock

sleek roost
#

Pray return to the Waking Sands is usually good advice whenever you're stuck in ARR tbh

strange walrus
#

@remote lintel What is the meaning of "glam" and "mb"?

remote lintel
#

glamour and market board

strange walrus
#

glamour? Never heard of that.

remote lintel
#

cosmetics

#

that you put over gear

strange walrus
#

I play the french version so maybe the localisation is different.

vagrant copper
#

Glamour makes your equipment look like other equipment

strange walrus
#

Oh! Like transmogrification then?

vagrant copper
#

Exactly

remote lintel
#

i doubt its called that in french

strange walrus
#

OK, I'll keep that in mind then. Thanks.

remote lintel
#

these

strange walrus
#

No, it's in Diablo and Monster hunter.^^

#

OK, I've already seen that kind of item. Thank you for the picture.

#

What about symbiosis of equipment? What is the purpose of this?

remote lintel
#

symbiosis?

strange walrus
#

Well, it's in french. When you keep using an equipment, it ultimately gets to 100% "symbiose".

remote lintel
#

oh

twilit arch
#

spiritbonding

remote lintel
#

spiritbond

#

thats for making materia

#

the gems you put in equipment to boost stats

twilit arch
#

you can extract materia (gems basically) from gear you've 100% spiritbonded

#

though at lower levels its not too terribly important

strange walrus
#

Can you do that on low level?

remote lintel
#

yeah but its useless

#

because it adds almost nothing

twilit arch
#

yeah, just need to complete the quest "Forging the Spirit" to learn the extract command

strange walrus
#

ok. I tried to do it but couldn't find how to.

#

Ho...

twilit arch
#

some of the low level materia can sell decently since people need it for the a realm reborn relic weapon

#

"Forging the Spirit" is a bluequest in central thanalan, near the bonfire

strange walrus
#

Got it, this will be my next objective then. Thanks.

#

Thank you everyone! 😉

leaden ginkgo
#

yoo, just coming back to the game, whats the fastest way to level an alt without msq, only at 27 rn

vagrant copper
#

Does that mean you skipped the MSQ or you still don't have it unlocked?

leaden ginkgo
#

msq skip only for ARR

vagrant copper
#

!faq altlvlguide

vagrant copper
#

Basically, it's somewhat of a toss-up between spamming the highest level dungeons you can or spamming POTD floors 50-60.

#

POTD typically wins out for DPS due to queue times

manic horizon
#

Hi, I have a question regarding the game time in FF14, 30 days game time, does it mean i can play 30 days worth of game or just it runs out after 30 days whether i play it or not?

granite bluff
#

its your sub, 30 days play it or not

obsidian patio
#

After 30 days regardless of how much you play in those days

manic horizon
#

Ah okay, thank you for the clarifications.

queen cove
#

Are unspoiled nodes based on server time?

twilit arch
#

no, they're based on eorzea time

queen cove
#

oh shoot

#

kk

#

Also for the gather 300 collectables, can it be any collectables?

whole wasp
#

yup

queen cove
#

So I could totally find some cheap item and just spam it

twilit arch
#

for the crafting collectables, sure

#

just make sure you're crafting it with the collector's synthesis on

queen cove
#

For gathering is it the same?

obsidian patio
#

Gatherers are more involved and have actions specific to collecting

twilit arch
#

you could spam one of the non timed node items, but make sure you've got a lot of cordials on you

obsidian patio
#

And the next few messages below it

frank anchor
#

kinda confused, says I'm level 52 almost 53, but I'm level 53 summoner? :P

#

when I open the (O) menu

#

says 53, but my xp bar shows 52

crimson wind
#

If I do <pos> in one place then copy the message from history will it have the same position?

obsidian patio
#

I think so? POS basically puts a flag at your position so it grabs the flag again

crimson wind
#

Kk

obsidian patio
#

@frank anchor never heard of that before, can you take a screenshot?

whole wasp
#

i think they are looking at the ilvl?

obsidian patio
#

Oh, might be that too

leaden ginkgo
#

Ay yall

#

WHat diff my retainer make between level 1 and 80

twilit arch
#

what they can bring back

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh dang

#

I am thinking to get retainer boost to make gil

#

If they 70 then how much would the thangs they bright back sell for?

twilit arch
#

that's going to depend on what your server's market is like

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh just on average

#

Like around 50k? 100k?

warped nest
#

Same answer

twilit arch
#

again, its going to depend entirely on your server's market

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean just example, if u send ur retainer in ur server

#

How much it sell for?

twilit arch
warped nest
#

It depends on which job it has

polar wave
#

do people queue up for e5s on duty finder lol

remote lintel
#

it depends what they bring back and then the value of that depends on how much it goes for on your server

warped nest
#

What I make them get

#

And what is the price of the item

twilit arch
#

but something to keep in mind is that your retainers can only go so high as you personally are in that job

warped nest
#

@polar wave no

twilit arch
#

and for the gathering retainers, can only bring back items you personally have gathered atleast once

polar wave
#

@warped nest whats the best way for me to find a party then

twilit arch
#

NA/EU use party finder for extreme/savage

remote lintel
#

party finder

warped nest
#

Open Party Finder

#

Look for Learning parties

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah uh

polar wave
#

ah okay tank you

warped nest
#

Do your homework and watch videos

leaden ginkgo
#

Im just wondering if it would make a big difference if I get level boost for retainer

remote lintel
#

"big difference" by saving you time sure

warped nest
#

It does

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh the ventures take less time?

warped nest
#

Just that we cannot give you an exact number

leaden ginkgo
#

Like how much less?

#

Its fine

#

I just want whatever estimates

warped nest
#

Higher level retainer get better pool

remote lintel
#

no i mean you won't be leveling it yourself

leaden ginkgo
#

Even if not accurate at all

warped nest
#

Lvl 1 retainer get crap item pool in Quick Venture

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh

#

And how do they level? through ventures?

remote lintel
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

does anyone know whether me and my partner both have to buy the platinum eternal bond, or can one person do it?

#

It take long tho?

#

Im 80 in all my classes

#

That I have

remote lintel
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

Dang

warped nest
#

Around a month of casually playing

twilit arch
#

@leaden ginkgo both

leaden ginkgo
#

oh dang

#

i aint gonn be alive next month

#

Hey doggy @remote lintel

#

Woof woof

twilit arch
#

you both will need plat bands if you want a plat wedding

warped nest
#

Then you shouldn't worry about making Gil with retainer

twilit arch
#

that said, one person can buy both bands and give the 2nd one to the partner

remote lintel
#

if you ping me that again i'm getting a mod

leaden ginkgo
#

So like lets say I send my retainer out for venture at level 70 twice a day

twilit arch
#

but all that matters is you both have plat bands

leaden ginkgo
#

How much would I usually get on average each day / week?

#

alright, thank you
