Where do peope get umbrella?
fresh lodge
Easiest way is to but it with Skybuild's scrips in Ishgard
vagrant copper
They're called Parasols in game. There might be some on the MB for... a hefty sum
native ingot
What item should I farm if I'm looking for Gil?
marsh holly
Hey been gathering Grade 2 Skyebuilders Crystal-clear Rock Salt also the spring water but i cant it to be approved bye the npc, other materials does get approved but not these anyone who can shed some light on this?
vagrant copper
Do the NPCs require HQ materials (with the 
symbol)?
rough coral
parasol should be easy (ish to get)
little swift
You can't hq skybuilders stuff
rough coral
blue is only 5k but black one is like 500k
little swift
It just has to be approved in stacks of 10@marsh holly
Any less than that is leftover
marsh holly
the stack was 120
cobalt pagoda
guys can you help find if there is an reskin of this armor???
Anamnesis Coat of Casting

guys can you help fin if there is an reskin of this armor???
@cobalt pagoda anamenesis stuff is a shire gear reskin

@cobalt pagoda try garlandtools
cobalt pagoda
@hot eagle ooo thanks
marsh holly
there was plenty of space aswell
vagrant copper
I may have no clue what I'm talking about but he said 10, you said 120. Maybe it needs to be exactly 10?
leaden ginkgo
is there any way to get to max level quick?
marsh holly
so the salt is diffrent from the others items you collent in the diadem?

It shouldn't be

@leaden ginkgo MSQ is fastest for the first class to 80 then after that just do the daily roulettes/fates
leaden ginkgo
Is it possible to make a hrothgars skin and hair color match?
leaden ginkgo
Oh boy lol
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
but keep in mind
LEVEL skips are not MAIN SCENARIO skips
you will have to either get both to start at shadowbringers
or you play story on a lvl70
or you grind to 70 with the msq skip
you are best off getting the Complete edition vanas
Is it possible to make a hrothgars skin and hair color match?
@leaden ginkgo afaik yes
leaden ginkgo
Hmm, I'll have to poke around with the colors more then. I really like the monochrome look for them
little swift
depends on how much you play
a couple of people here finished from start to finish in about 2 weeks

how do I get acces to Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)??

In the last phase of nighogg extreme, do the meteors hit everything in a cross?

In final phase

crimson wind
Should I do roulette if i already received my bonus?
leaden ginkgo
No
hot eagle
no only do roulettes once per day for the bonus, after it run your highest possible dungeon for exp or as dps you can use potd till 61 and hoh for 61-71
for shb even as dps you should run the dungeons
crimson wind
Queue times are shit
leaden ginkgo
How long are they
leaden ginkgo
Oh so not long
Just queue for the dungeon
And waitn
Go do beast tribes or craft whilst waiting like most people
crimson wind
I don't have either of those unlocked?
crimson wind
I'm focusing on MSQ atm
leaden ginkgo
And get you mounts and shit
crimson wind
not leveling other shit
leaden ginkgo
You can focus on msq and still do beast tribes?
Especially if you're waiting in a queue longer than 5 minutes
Also no one said you had to give the exp to a lower level class
hot eagle
lvl a gathering class/job then while you wait or read a book, but doin roulettes over and over doesnt lvl you faster it's more likely to be a waste of time for exp
crystal shoal
since there are exp boost can i skip all the side quest?
leaden ginkgo
You can skip all the side quests anyway
The only ones I've done are ones that give glamour or emotes
empty parrot
@cobalt pagoda you need to do the quest that unlocks them, it start at Ishgard, around Forgotten Knight
Then continues to Kugane
cobalt pagoda
oh ok, what quest does unlock the advance one?
alao Centurio Seals can only be obtain doing the hunts?
oh found that one, unfrotunatly only from hunts

If i want to create relic weapon for other class, i have to start from scratch again?

Does anything in the Ishgardian Restoration stop or can I still participate in it even though it’s been released for a while?
I want to level gathering and crafting to 80 and I assume participating in this is the fastest?
little swift
leves are still your fastest option
assuming you have allowances
its just easier to obtain materials for restoration
which you can still participate in and submit items for

Am I still able to craft the collectibles everyone does for ez mentor?
little swift
? can you rephrase that
you can still turn in the same items everyone else is at the moment
left lynx
People say that crafting mentor is super easy to get right now because of the restoration, I thought it was because of the mentor requirement for collectibles
little swift
yes crafting mentor is easy to obtain because of the various collectables available for crafting
thats 1 of the requirements
left lynx
And I get the mats for those in Diadem?
little swift
partially
its partly grade 2 skybuilder's materials
and usually 1 material from the regular game
left lynx
Is there a guide on all of this? Such as leveling gatherer and crafting for current patch?
And also Ishgardian Restoration in general
left lynx
Ok thank you

Can I get those allagan even if I'm capped ?
proud willow
no
faint flare
Its impossible to bypass the cap
burnt hawk
Okay thanks
left lynx
I can’t find leveling guides for crafting/gathering but I do see the macro guide and overall guide for restoration. Say I am out of leves, is it possible/preferred to level 1/10-80 completely through either Diadem gathering or crafting for Restoration?
faint flare
Yes...through gathering in diadem is slow as there's no real xp boost in diadem
left lynx
Getting the mentor isn’t really a goal of mine, I just want to finally level up my crafters which I’ve ignored for 4 games now
faint flare
But you gets for crafting so
left lynx
And I’d need to gather in diadem for crafting anyway right?
faint flare
Spam leves, do your daily GC turn ins (HQ as much as possible), do beast tribes and custom devileries then spam ishgard
Yes
left lynx
Alright, sounds like a good priority system. Thanks
faint flare
Basically do your daily/weekly stuff then spam leves until out then ishgard
Or ignore leves and spam ishgard macros

just bought my adamantine mount! so happy lol. How do I make it spin when flying?

Is GC manual and preorder earrings good for exp for both crafting and gathering?
next wind
oh that's the ebst way?
I'm trying but probs gonna be too much
gonna do a training to see if it helps
faint flare
Many people overlevel squadron missions
next wind
with current attributes it would fail likely right?
faint flare
If its the flagged mission
solemn delta
Yeah he can swap from mind the 40 to str and the last one I always forget
faint flare
Its guaranteed to fail

What classes share armor?
next wind
okay
faint flare
Can use ala mhigan if you have those somehow
Tanks share
Healers share
Casters share
Ranged share
Ninja shares accessories with range
Samurai and monk share
solemn delta
Bruce check Advanced training and tactical course that should be enough
next wind
okay I'll check that
solemn delta
Write down the stats needed first from the main guy then check board
That should do it just though.
next wind
I'll do the tactical training and see if it helps
solemn delta
It should give you the right stats to complete the mission cause it will take 40 off mind which your over and give 20 to strength and tactical
stable hinge
Whats the best way to gain XP?
proud willow
Generally: do Duty Roulette: Leveling and Main Scenario Quests. More specifically: depends on what level and class
proud willow
Each roulette only gives bonus XP once per day, so it's not something you want to run repeatedly
stable hinge
Rip
stable hinge
Ive been pretty much going at it consistently
unreal aspen
can give very good exp for very little work
proud willow
if you've already done your roulette, queue for Gubal Library and do Fates while you wait

if you have an fc you can try popping an action for an exp buff

Scholasticate is unlockable after you finish HW Hildibrand, I believe
Dragonsong War is the name for the 3.1 through 3.3 MSQ

iLvl 490 is the highest you can get if you are not doing savage?
robust grove
can i still gain elemental levels past 20 if i'm doing challenge log in eureka anemos?
amber ingot
but im finished with the msq for some time now , i just realised that there is another tab on new game + xD
weird :/
fresh lodge
@robust grove yes
robust grove
oh good
fresh lodge
The xp you get from the challenge log scales with your actual level, not level 20
robust grove
even better
leaden ginkgo
hey err how do i look for dungeon groups and stuff like that?
faint flare
For dungeons just do duty finder
Higher end content like extreme, savage, ultimates etc are done with party finder
faint flare
You get it when you unlock the first duty that uses it, either the first guildhest or dungeon
The first dungeon is via story
Whenever you unlock a dungeon or other duty. Its automatically added to the duty finder
leaden ginkgo
yes i just got a char boost and thought i could have some fun right away
proud willow
Bit of a wasted purchase, unfortunately
fresh lodge
You can pick up a new class and level it through the story if you don't want to buy a story skip

I'm running late with my roulettes due to queue times, I never did MSQ with healer/tank, would the queue be a lot shorter? often takes me 25-30min for that one
leaden ginkgo
Hey guys is stripper gender locked or also men can take the job?
faint flare
No jobs are gender locked
next wind
also since it's my first time as a tank/healer, is it a lot to know? I've done it many times a dps and it looks pretty easy just speed run and pull everything
faint flare
No cause gender locked jobs is retarded
leaden ginkgo
And what level do I start as stripper? is it level 60 like gunbreaker?
leaden ginkgo
Ok thanks
next wind
lol you can be a stripper in ff14 lol
faint flare
Yes
leaden ginkgo
Bruh
raw solstice
it's not really "stripper" anything

leaden ginkgo
It a stripper
fresh lodge
Stop calling it stripper

there is literally no stripping involved in its gameplay
leaden ginkgo
Its the same, they dance
little swift
fresh lodge
Stop calling it stripper
leaden ginkgo
DADDY @little swift , thank u so much for ur kindness, I reached my anima goal now
next wind
lol you're talking about a dancer? haha I thought you can actually be a stripper
leaden ginkgo
Its the same u should see how they dress

Be quiet

player choice is not relevant to the job gameplay

What do u mean?

well I too was a gay lord as a bard prior to ironworks
leaden ginkgo
I really want to get into an mmo and i know ffxxiv and wow are the two big ones. For pve endgame content, which ones better
next wind
pve content ff14 all the way
fresh lodge
Subjective
next wind
quests are a bit more interesting mechanically in wow but story wins in ff14 big time
fresh lodge
People find raids in WoW better, some find them better in FFXIV
next wind
True, but I think skills/jobs are more flashy in ff14 and so are the fights
leaden ginkgo
But.. are there strippers in WoW?
little swift
people choosing to do those things is not indicative of how a job/class plays
fresh lodge
!mute 421270981772836864 3600 stop talking avout strippers
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
is there traditional raids like in wow?
fresh lodge
Yes
faint flare
There's 8man raids. Which is the prime higher end content and 24mans which is more casual
leaden ginkgo
whats the difference?
faint flare
8man raids are more mechanically challenging
With smaller room for error
24mans are just a big cluster fuck that can mostly be overcome by throwing bodies at it
8mans will typically have a hard enrage timer
While 24mans dont
leaden ginkgo
so 8 man raids are kinda like destiny raids
faint flare
8mans at savage difficulty and up are basically kinda the mythic version
The highest difficulty for best gear
(there's ultimate thats harder for super shiny glamour and bragging rights)
leaden ginkgo
ok but like 24 mans are like normal difficulty wow raids?
faint flare
Kinda yes
24mans arent that challenging and the biggest challenge is the IQ of the randoms
leaden ginkgo
is the endgame content geared more towards pve or pvp
faint flare
Raiding community is very active
It fluctuates abit during lulls of content but its always there
People doing their weeklie clears every week

Eureka a good place to farm poetics?
faint flare
Look up Eden verse Savage or Epix of Alexander @leaden ginkgo

ok
hollow nimbus
do i need to wait for it to fully register maybe

Epic if Alexander is the current Ultimate which is the highest difficulty
Eden verse Savage is the current Savage tier for gear

I like spriggan (but I'm biased since I'm there)

There isnt too much difference

dungeons/instances are cross data center

But go with preferred world if possible
next wind
exactly

only some servers have exp boost?
faint flare
Yes
next wind
I noticed that Omega has the best MB prices tho xD
crystal shoal
oh
fresh lodge
Only servers that are preferred have the xp bonus

Whichever is classed as preferred

They'll have a star next to them on the server select screen in game

Is there a way to contact a trusty crafter from Goblin server?
young fjord
Pretty much anyone is trustworthy as long as you have a agreement in game text channels
faint flare
Shout or set up a Party finder advertising it
young fjord
Should they break it, just contact GM
faint flare
And do that
Discuss in game and take notes of the time stamp
So if they do scam, its very easily reportable and punished
young fjord
leaden ginkgo
wait, GMs actually respond to tickets and agreements in this game?
faint flare
Yes
young fjord
Yes
leaden ginkgo
that is very important to know 📝 ty for the notice
next wind
that is good to know indeed
gritty oracle
In the fashion report, 80 score is enough for max mgp? Also, there's some kind of achievement for having X mgp. Is that all at once? (Like do I have to actually have the X mgp to my name or do I just have to earn that much and can spend it in the meanwhile?)
onyx kiln
is there anything outside maybe your retainers level that changes what items they can find through quick ventures?
next wind
I thought ilvl does not influence the quick ventures? just the hunt ones?
that's good to know then
hard elk
will the retainers stop selling if i assign them
hard elk
okay sweet!
thanks~
next wind
would I fail this mission?
faint flare
If its the flagged mission then yes
little swift
I think current break point is like i450 for combat and 1900gathering bht not entirely sure
faint flare
You can check the squadron calculator
hard elk
do i need to have this classes to make it available?
faint flare
Yes
little swift
Ffxivsquadron iswhat I use
next wind
yes you do, make sure you pick your main class too
grave thicket
Do we have a #channel for housing related discussion?
next wind
as your max lvl will cap the retainers level
hard elk
can i have tips for retainers
faint flare
Retainers can only level up to as high as you are on the job
open coral
Your retainer jobs and levels are determined by your own
hard elk
ahh i see
finite ferry
i save old weapons and dungeon drops for retainers
next wind
I thought it was a good idea too, but honestly it's not the best strategy as often ilvl is too low from dung drops
I found out buying vendors gear up until 50 is better ilvl
and relatively inexpensive
hard elk
whats the best one of three gatherers
faint flare
Just give retainers hand me down gear
hard elk
mining i reckon?
little swift
Ilvl is more important for combat classes not the stats themself
They're all ok neku
Depends on what you need/have leveled anyways
next wind
mining is only good if you level it though I think
next wind
cuz my 50+ lvl hunting retainers bring better stuff than 1-5lvl miner would
speaking of which, how long would it take to level a miner to say 50?
Might consider it for a spare retainer
finite ferry
Not sure but i did GC turn in every day. it is good way to stock up ventures for those quick ventures
little swift
Usually the recommended combo for free retainers is 1 combat 1 gatherer
To level you send them on the 1hour hunts during your playtime
crystal shoal
which one should i get, the complete edition or complete collector?
little swift
And the 18hour explorations outside of ot
Complete is fine to start with
Collectors can be upgraded into later
forest laurel
you can get digital collector's editions later if you want
crystal shoal
does a max level boost come with either of these?
forest laurel
you can get them all together, or for a specific expansion if you want
also no iirc
it's just cosmetic stuff like mounts, glamour, minions
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
There are no max level boosts. The highest you can get is 70, and that isn’t packaged with any of the expansions
sturdy mason
During add phase in E8S, as a WHM should I put any priority on casting Holy to stun the one tanky mob (forgot the name)? I'm still progging so the healing feels a bit overwhelming right now, I don't see myself having time to spare for a 2 second cast. The damage is crazy.
fast sapphire
I've bought the full game but I don't have access to Au Ra, Hrothgar and Viera races????? wtf
sturdy mason
So I should be focusing on heals only no DPS or CC?
faint flare
If its still not dead then people need to focus it more and not waste damage on others
Do dps as you can
Asylum and assize are very good during adds
sturdy mason
I probably need to prog a lot more and get used to the fight, might be able to spare some seconds then once I'm able to plan out my AOE heals
faint flare
You can pop assize as eletrics spawn and hit them before their reflect is up
open coral
During progression it’s more important to focus on learning the flow of the fight, so you’re not going to get a lot of Glare uptime
olive lintel
Do I need to start over if I want to create relic weapons for other classes?

Did you register them to your account?
forest laurel
yeah, that's important
fast sapphire
man this game is so annoying. What do you mean register them to your account lmao I bought them off there website. I'm losing my mind haha
faint flare
You should have been given a code which you put on Mogstation to register it
Which actually lets you play
fast sapphire
This is what my account on there website looks like lol but yet in-game when I launch I can't access new races or anything
does this code get sent to an email or am I missing something else
forest laurel
yeah
fast sapphire
I've got the recipt for it but no code. Should I contact support and tell them there's an issue?

Hey all, What do you recommend I play if I want to get invites to dungeon groups at max level fast? I wanted to Tank on Paladin/DK like I do on Warcraft but I guess I would be bad for others with me not knowing dungeon tactics. I wouldn't mind playing DPS or Healer but if I do will I have to wait along time for dungeon wait queue?
lilac thicket
DPS queue is long
open coral
For random pugs, tank and healer queues are typically pretty short
hoary storm
For regular dungeons healer and tanks have the fastest queues, theyre not really hard tho and have very easy mechanics
open coral
For premades it won’t matter
lilac thicket
just go to YT and watch a 5 minute video explaining the dungeon and bosses youre about to queue for, then just faceroll it as a tank since you like the role
tank & healer queue should be almost instant? maybe 1-2 minutes tops?

Hey guys I just maxed out the 20k gil limit on my first doman enclave donations
Is the limit going to increase in next week reset?
Or stay the same 20k per week?
raven sage
@dense pier Oh no crafting dye is 30, crafting prisms is 15
dense pier
What about glamour plates?
raven sage
Unlocked when you unlock glamouring
So 15
@leaden ginkgo If it hasn't told you it increased then it hasn't increased. It will be an immediate message when you progress and isn't tied to a reset

I'm thinking to get onto melee and debating between sam vs drg
leaden ginkgo
What about indians? where can I find them?
leaden ginkgo
@next wind DRG has a lot of things to bring into the team
Like dmg boost crit boost etc
Sam is 1 man show
For fun I think I like both
young fjord
If you are "bad" it will be more noticible on SAM than on DRG :p
next wind
but drg is kinda meme for dying when jumping? lol
leaden ginkgo
Not really anymore, I dont see it much
raven sage
You can't die if you never jump
raven sage
But yeah they made jumps a lot better
leaden ginkgo
I see
slate arrow
hi jump's animation lock is only half a GCD at most
young fjord
The drg floor tank meme is not as relevant anymore since we got EU servers now
leaden ginkgo
Yeah dragoon is one of most wanted for end game now like ninja
young fjord
There is a difference between personal and raid contributed DPS
leaden ginkgo
A lot of funny videos u watch are outdated man @next wind
next wind
okay that's good, I don't want to be a meme lol
fresh lodge
They're both equally wanted in end game content
young fjord
SAM has highest personal DPS, but does not contribute any damage to raid via buffs or anything
fresh lodge
You want have any difficulty finding a party as either
next wind
so dragoon is easier, more fun (I personally like it more) and more wanted in raids?
leaden ginkgo
Yes
young fjord
DRG and NIN for example does not have as high personal damage as SAM, however they provide strong buffs which makes others "make up" for the damage they lack
leaden ginkgo
Only thing that suck is
next wind
okay that's all I want to know 😄
next wind
lol I think the cool jumps make up for it tho
leaden ginkgo
Sprint is good tho
next wind
as long as I won't die all the time

I never used dragoon back when it used to be a meme
next wind
as youtube is full of memes lol

so with its rdps it comes close to top tier? I mean I know these differences are marginal, but would party prefer drg over sam for melee dps?
I also loved ninja (before started playing), but then I found out its one of the hardest rotations and since dropped the idea of trying
leaden ginkgo
I mean just level both man
next wind
the only thing that annoyes me is lvling from 1 lol
true, I can pick up a sam at lv50 already so easy to test
leaden ginkgo
U can go to swagbucks and get free money and buy boost
dense pier
Why do these not have models?
next wind
swagbucks?
young fjord
They are made for glamour
You use the Emperor's set as a glamour when you want to hide a piece of armor
leaden ginkgo
Yes fill out surveys for money
leaden ginkgo
I think a week of surveys can get u 1 boost
dense pier
Yeah
obsidian wren
Hence the name of the items
strange coral
They are invisible for people that want them. Like to fight shirtless or whatever
next wind
interesting, didn't think about it that way
thanks
about the ninjas, are they really that hard? 😄
austere vale
how many professions can one be?
obsidian wren
All of them
leaden ginkgo
They look hard, just look at the hand signs
dense pier
I still don't know how to craft a glamour prism even though I completed this quest
Can culinarian not do it?
obsidian wren
Ninja takes some getting used to
next wind
okay fair fair, thanks
obsidian wren
All crafters can make them
leaden ginkgo
Btw guys what r some of the best classes with easy rotations?
next wind
I'm still doing msq so won't get into the hardest jobs yet 😄
obsidian wren
But theyre so easy to get its not reslly worth crafting
fresh lodge
SMN
raven sage
@dense pier No they can't
obsidian wren
Healers have the easiest dps rotation probably
leaden ginkgo
@fresh lodge is that answer for me?
dense pier
@raven sage
Thanks
obsidian wren
Basically a dot and a damage spell
next wind
I personally really enjoy MCH, it's pretty straightforward rotation and is very mobile
fresh lodge
Yes
leaden ginkgo
Ah
next wind
that's what I'm maining rn
leaden ginkgo
I am not thinking healer because I like to be in the action u know, like at the front lines
I heard summoner was fun tho
Oh yeah really? @next wind
Btw which one would be better between bard and mch?
next wind
healer has an easy dps rotation but it needs to keep a track of everyone's hp, mechanics and mp management
leaden ginkgo
Whats the main diffs?
next wind
I would never recommend a healer as an easy job lol
arctic oriole
can i still get the Pumpkin butler as pet?
hoary storm
so I have to have at least 1 piece of blu gear equipped to get good exp?
next wind
I personally didn't like bard at all
solemn delta
My whm accessorise are lacking I'm 38 I noticed the peridot stuff can you get that from a vendor or only crafted / MB?
arctic oriole
besides paying in the site
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I literally have 0 healers on me atm
next wind
bard had quiet low dps, lowest in the game (I care about that but not everyone does)
mch, I'm constantly top dps
leaden ginkgo
Dang really, thought it was best range
young fjord
!faq meta
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
Ah I just checked wiki
Brd is like dragoon except low personal dmg and mch is like sam
next wind
I do know at 80 tho mch is only the best in rng tier, other jobs outdo it in dps if they're good
dense pier
Well this sucks. I leveled Culinary for food and to be able to craft glamour prisms but now I can't
next wind
There's some guy in ff14 forums who has all the data compiled from all the raids savages etc
and mch often comes in 2-3rd places
so I like that, but it depends on the skill ofc
good sam or smn will outperform everyone
leaden ginkgo
Haha u do like being the muscle of the group don't u?
next wind
haha I guess.. lol
fresh lodge
Ignore the forums
next wind
BUT 1 reason why I love mch is - flamethrower lol
arctic gust
MCH has the best DMG out of the 3 ranged DPS, DNC offers more support and BRD is the balance between
fresh lodge
Only place you should get your data from is FFLogs
leaden ginkgo
Yeah that shit be trolling day and night at Limsa
solemn delta
I think blm out does Sam at top level.
young fjord
@dense pier Culinarians can't craft glamour prism iirc
next wind
I mean meta doesn't matter really
fresh lodge
They're close enough to where it doesn't matter
next wind
but for those who care, sam, smn and blm are the top I think
fresh lodge
Yes
next wind
I'm not lv80 yet but I actually noticed in many dungeons skills matter the most, rotations, mechanics etc
leaden ginkgo
Summoner is also support heavy right?
solemn delta
Yeah I'm not gonna play blm over Sam I hate blm in this game lol
next wind
yea
fresh lodge
No
dense pier
Okay, can someone explain/link how the glamour plate system works? I have pieces of gear that I want to keep for glamour but they are taking up space in my inventory as well
fresh lodge
SMN has some minor support, but its not support heavy
solemn delta
Got to like 74 and just not enjoyable at all
leaden ginkgo
Ah
young fjord
Outside of a extra rez, SUM don't contribute that much to a party overall dps compared to otherjobs
next wind
Xbye - 1. it costs 1 prism to add 1 item to the glamour dresser 2. Once you have all the gear you want 3. Select glamour plate and simply click on the items you want to add 4. Save 5. Wear it
leaden ginkgo
Yeah I see
solemn delta
My whm accessorise are lacking I'm 38 I noticed the peridot stuff can you get that from a vendor or only crafted / MB?
Sorry missed if someone answered
dense pier
I have 19 prisom
next wind
so you can add 19 items
you need 1 prism per item you want to add to the dresser
once the item is in the dresser you can wear it as many times as you want without glamour prisms
dense pier
Okay I see now
young fjord
!faq glamour
zinc orbitBOT
arctic gust
you can also use 1 prism to glamour one current item
dense pier
What does glamour plating do. It makes it so, instead of glamoring every item individually I just wear the plate?
next wind
exactly
young fjord
Glamour plates = Presets
dense pier
That sounds a lot easier
forest laurel
glamour plates are basically glamour sets ye
arctic gust
plates will apply glamours of a full set in 1 move
next wind
you can have 1 plate for tank, 1 plate for healer, 1 plate for dps for example
young fjord
It only cost a prism to make a preset, once it's made you can use it as many times as you want without spending glamour prisms
next wind
no
faint flare
You can
arctic gust
it only cost a prism when you put something in the glamour desser, not when you put it on a plate
next wind
well yea, but once it's there you can't use it, if you remove it you can't use as a glamour
open coral
That’s not true
young fjord
Go to a inn keeper in a major city, and go to the glamour dresser
open coral
You can use items in your inventory and armory for glamours
next wind
but you can't equip the item which is in glamour dresser
unless you take it out?
at which point you can't use it as a glamour?
open coral
And if something is saved to a plate, you can remove it and still have it in your glamour plate
raven sage
Keep in mind that if you put an item on the plate you can still use it as a glamour
Unless you take it off the plate
young fjord
The right side window is things I have in my bags, the left side window is things I have in the glamour dresser
raven sage
Even if the item is removed
young fjord
To move something from my bag to dresser I need to spend 1 glamour prism
raven sage
And you can still cast glamour from outside the dresser
young fjord
I can then use the items in the dresser to make presets I can apply for free
So if I press my helm slot on the plate, it shows me all the headgear I have in the dresser
arctic gust
you can apply an item's glamour to any pieces thats of higher lvl then the "image" item. you can apply glamours directly from an item (cost 1 prism), directly from the glamour dresser(doesnt cost), or by applying a glamour plate. (doesnt cost)

i just found a grassman and i dont know where to post the info?, where can i post it?
dense pier
Can I only edit my glamour plates (my appearance) at a dresser?
arctic gust
the plates yes
young fjord
You can only edit the plates at a dresser, but you can apply them in any "safe zone" such as cities ec.t.
young fjord
Yeah
dense pier
how do I "apply" them then without opening the dresser
dense pier
I'm there
raven sage
Or that yeah
strong sphinx
does anyone play with more than one character?
arctic gust
from your "character" window, at the top near your gearset saves
open coral
Actions and Traits > General > Glamour
arctic gust
there's a card icon, showing your plates
dense pier
None of this is clickable
arctic gust
right next to the button to auto-equip best
raven sage
Did you make one?
open coral
That’s just for applying existing glamour plates, Shey
young fjord
@strong sphinx The most common people who play more than one character serisouly is either hardcore endgame raiders or role players
faint flare
Click the armour slots
arctic gust
yea that was the question no?
open coral
No
faint flare
Then it pulls up the dresser
open coral
They were asking about generally changing their glamour
raven sage
I see the confusion
strong sphinx
so afaik, you can play multiple classes on one character, what's benefit of having two character ready for raids?
dense pier
it wont let me
raven sage
You need to make a plate at the dresser
arctic gust
how do I "apply" them then without opening the dresser
@dense pier
my answer wasnt wrong 🤣
raven sage
Yes you can only make a plate at the dresser
young fjord
@strong sphinx Again, if you are superhardcore then it's loot lockout
faint flare
Do it in the dresser
dense pier
okay
open coral
I don’t believe personal rooms count as safe zones for glamour purposes
arctic gust
yep they count
clever cave
@strong sphinx ppl like to raid more
young fjord
Unless you are the top 0.1% world first races you probebly don't need more than 1 character for raiding pourpose
clever cave
Only reason
arctic gust
as soon as you get the moon "santuary" icon by your exp bar,
strong sphinx
i see because im kinda stuck because I played the msq till 42 on one character, but i kinda want to play the other one
young fjord
Why you want to play the otherone?
strong sphinx
like that character more, i should have spend more time on character creation XD
different race
clever cave
You can change your look on your main
open coral
Use a Fantasia potion
clever cave
You get two for free
strong sphinx
but you cant change the race right?
clever cave
You can
young fjord
Once you finish the 2.0 patch story you get a free fantasia, it's free race change
clever cave
It send u back to char create
open coral
Fantasia is full character edit
strong sphinx
omgg
young fjord
Around lvl 50
strong sphinx
okay thats cool!
open coral
Race, gender, appearance
arctic gust
a fantasia potion lets you entirely redo the character creation, without losing any progress
strong sphinx
you can only get two of them?
arctic gust
BUT keep in mind some items and glamours (especially holyday event rewards and Mogstation purchases) are gender specific, so if you go from Female to Male there may be things you cannot use
strong sphinx
Alright, will keep that in mind!
ruby willow
Can I level a class from 30-50 with pvp?
dense pier
Oh...
So using glamour plates saves you on prisms but it still "glamors" the items so you have to dispel them later on if you want to save their appearance for something else too I think.
I was hoping the glamour plate system would be like a drop-down menu that I can pick and choose what items to wear but I hate to create presets it seems
slate arrow
@ruby willow of course
arctic gust
when you put a glamoured item in your glam dresser, it will auto-remove any glam on it to save the item's original appearance
ruby willow
Okay so I do still get normal XP from pvp?
slate arrow
yes
faint flare
Yes
dense pier
Yeah but I can't see what the original appearance is until it's dispelled so idr which item is which without writing their name down
ruby willow
Epic
clever cave
Mombie you can buy them as well for like $10
strong sphinx
I will check the mogry shop! thx!
raven sage
@dense pier In the plate menu, the last tab is your original gear
You can check from there
dense pier
Checking/unchecking still uses a dispeller no?
faint flare
No
raven sage
It's technically a "dispel plate" but you can just use it to visualize what you had on
dense pier
Ah
raven sage
You don't actually have to do anything with it
dense pier
I see what you mean

The dispeller plate shows you what you would look like

quick question - i activated summoner and scholar classes - when doing daily duties on scholar, my summoner also gets xp/lvls. this is because of the same job arcanist right ? until what lvl will my summoner get same xp?
wintry chasm
forever
and yes you have the reason right, because they both come from the same class Arcanist
last vale
ah so you just xp with scholar until 80 and summoner gets also 80
last vale
its faster with heal/tank though

any advice on getting my footing in this game? played for a month and a half a year ago, I want to dive deeper into this game.
also, advice on making friends in the game?

My advice on making friends is just to ask for invites into free companies until you just find one you like tbh
That and actively socialising
hollow nimbus
if i press cancel during my download will it scratch everything or just pause it?
wintry chasm
For footing I'm not sure what to say except like, do your 
main story and 
optional quests that unlock things. Most give you pretty nice stuff
glass rock
Is white mage always gonna be slow throughout the solo content? I mean I never die but spamming stone is getting old
hollow nimbus
i switched from standalone launcher to steam launcher so i had to redownload the game smh
wintry chasm
Healers don't get much going for them in terms of combat but White Mage is probably the worse out of the 3 UWIZA
hollow nimbus
and id like to play some games instead of waiting for the download to finish lol
wintry chasm
By the time you hit 80 you'll get like, one spammable aoe, a DoT, stone, and two offensive cooldowns
hollow nimbus
yeah healer is so slow to play solo i just stay summoner/arcanist and only go scholar for group activities
wintry chasm
In terms of doing stuff in combat as a healer I'd say Astro is more busy because of the card system

You want to go to PC from PS4 or PS4 from PC?

If you have fast load times it's faster to teleport to Limsa, teleport to arcanist guild, take the ferry to Vesper's Bay

@celest moon your SE account is automatically used to sign in so just sign into the account you use for Mogstation

Otherwise just Horizon to Vesper's Bay

Check if you can actually get into Mogstation -> get the version of PC XIV you want (Steam or Non-Steam) (most people recommend Non-Steam) -> put your registration code into Mogstation -> install PC XIV -> log in
celest moon
Okay So I couldnt get in since I dont remember the information
Is there a Way I can do it from my ps4 ?

PS4 isn't going to change anything
Not like PS4 is going to magically let you get into mogstation without signing in

Fate "Difficulty" or health values depends on how many people did it last time

Should 10 people do it once and then leave

I don't think anyone would argue that making it fully dynamic would be a bad thing. If I were to guess it would be a system limitation somewhere

When does one use sheltron
young fjord
@sick zenith either when boss is about to use a tank buster, or on large trash pulls
sick zenith
And whats a tank buster?
young fjord
A spell/ability some bosses uses on the tanks which does a ton of damage to them if they don't use thier abilities to mitigate it
young fjord
A blocked attack is 20% damage reduction, so it's the same as your Rampart ability
dense pier
What are these
young fjord
@dense pier A token of some kind, depending on the token you can get different things, some give you gear, other tokens give you armor or glamour items, pets, mounts ec.t.

Theres a lot of PLD skills at 42
Do I have to utilize all of them
Or is there a core rotation i can safely stick to
Because stuff like low blow and shield bash I never use
young fjord
You use all your skills
Shield Bash falls of at higher levels tho
Low Blow is very good becuase it's not on the GCD, so you always have acces to it as a quick stun
nova umbra
I use low blow all the time
young fjord
I mostly use it to interrupt casts

On mobs?

some bosses can be stunned too
