the only difference in quick ventures
i dont think so?
is they can bring back their retainer specific minion
https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/In_the_Middle_of_Nowhere start with this yufi
you can get tokens for gear as well
so like a fisher retainer could bring back a domakin minion from quick venture
the first 4 floors have no weekly cap so you can easily get several pieces of gear
but a combat retainer wouldn't be able to since its a fisher specific minion
its also a good source of Phanta because of that first time bonus
ye ill take care of that now
do all of edens
then delta
sound ok?
just wanna make sure so i dont waste my time LMAO
delta is from last expansion
its gear isn't relevant unless you want the glamour
but you can do them in whatever order you want
its not a waste of time if you enjoyed them
Is it me or does Great Strides actually affect Byregot's Blessing?
Cause that's goddamn awesome
it does
absolutely amazing
there is reason it was called the byregot bomb
what is this
especially great if you land it on an execellent
unnnggghhh I'm getting all worked up just imagining that
looks like audio issues, did you unplug youe headset/earphone/change audio outputs?
no?
you can use Innovation on top of that @tropic summit
RAD
why as an audio related error message?
dunnoe, might be it was doing audio things when app was killed
Right, no wonder this nuke I cooked up in Teamcraft is so sicknasty
people use the observe/careful observes to fish for excellents or Tricks of the trade to fish for normals
I'm super conservative with my rotations, don't think I ever use RNG abilities except for the rare Hasty Touch when I've got extra dur and can't spare any CP to upgrade touches
I don't think I could ever go for good/excellent fishing strats
But then I'm only lv50ish on my DoHs. Does it get way more RNG heavy later?
less actually
Oh wow
you combine that with Waste Not 2
and you can use some really nice touch actions
!action Preparatory Touch
but it becomes a -5 durability action
i just hit lvl 30 where can i choose my job?
!faq job
To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.
get further in MSQ and finish your class quest questline
and the next quest is right there
oh ok thanks for the help
thats right. 100%
...
I'm not from NA locally, so is the Moogle event up now?
neeeeeeeeed
Can't wait to Byregot after Trained Eye just for style points
Can the current event be done unsync'd?
the moogle tomestones? no
Aw
you only get them for doing the content synced
i can't glamour my green shisui gear over top of my blue augmented shire gear? i'm so confused
shisui is lvl 62(?) and shire is 60, you can't apply higher level gear to lower @final sandal
any level as long as you have the content that's part of the event unlocked @humble birch
aight thanks
Shisui is lvl 63
I wanna level alt jobs while doing it
Shisui is higher level
Like how you cannot make Ironworks look like Shire
Same deal
so it's like i'm trying to glamour 80 gear on level 20 gear or something?
where in the discord should i be asking about recruitment for the event?
you can try #603040858782040095
if i leveled to 70 could i use shisui glamours?
yea, you can't make low level crap gear look like high level good gear basically
you can only glamour the appearance of an item of lower level than the item you cast the image on
This game is broken as fuck lmao is anyone else having super weird issues? I had a Au ra lvl 70 Samurai and now it's not on my account or showing up on realm????????????? #questions-and-help
you cannot take the appearance of a high level to put on a lower leve item
the thing that's confusing me is that shisui and augmented shire have identical item levels
did you connect to the wrong server?
@final sandal shisui has a higher level requirement
@whole wasp I dont believe so I made it on Twintania
oh so i can't put 63 appearance on 60 gear because it's 3 levels higher req?
yup
the closeness of the levels is what's making my brain not work
so it's like if i tried to glamour 80 artifact gear on my 50 ironworks..?
basically yup
For RDM Rotation from 50>60 what should i be using
but i'm fine doing level 1 gear on my 80 artifact
thats fine. your 80 artifact can look like level 1 gear,
but level 1 gear cannot look like 80 artifact
so to unlock shisui glamours i have to level up to 70 so it won't be restricted
wear 70 gear
Yes
you just have to wear any gear that is higher than shisui yup
or wear lvl 63+ lvl gear
ok so the issue here is that my gear is level 60 req, and i'm trying to glamour 63 on it. thank you guys
Btw, all glamour stuff you buy from mogstation are all ilvl 1
This allow them to be glamour over everything else
Same principle at work here
Fixed it PogChamp
Now does anyone want to babysit a lvl 70 Samurai on Twintania? how does one get a mount since I bought boost
did you also get story boost or no?
@obsidian patio No, should I?
Then do the story to unlock the ability to use mounts.
I'm guessing I miss a crap tone of stuff If I try to skip the main story right?
think ima buy the story skip lol
there is no skipping the main story since everything is locked behind it
Boosting job but not story is the worst thing you can do
buys story skip
if you are really sure you want to skip the story
The only advantage you gain from a lvl 70 job in a fresh story is you can run to destination without detours
tho the story skip will deposit you right at the start of Shadowbringers
It doesn't make dungeons or bosses easier
so you have to go through that part of the story anyway
Just gonna make it clear, this is not a place to ask for babysitters
We are more than happy to give advice and even teach dungeons
Just not babysitting

🙄
we're just gonna not include that since its not really relevant
Can you unsync dungeons and still get the moogle tomestones?
no
ok
am i dreaming or is there only credit card to pay for subs?
i dont remember using it before
You can indirectly use Paypal to pay for sub by using it to buy Crysta on the square enix account site.
@fast sapphire wha
are there dowsides to entry subsription if you planning on only using 1 char?
nah
IIRC, You just can't use timecards since they use the Standard subscription model
timecards?
pre-paid cards like the ones in gamestop
ah
which have like 30/90 days of sub
well easy then entry it is
I can't figure out why my fps is so low
Only started after I tried getting the game to look good on my 4k tv but I reverted the settings so this is quite strange
@scenic orbit If you're having a frame spike or low FPS, 1) resize your resolution lil bit lower till there's no more lag
i used some wolf marks to buy the lvl 60 heavensward gear for glamour but i cant equip it even as im already lvl 60.
would i need to do my lvl 60 class quest or finish the story first ?
But it's at 720p already
ah nvm. seems to be a glamour plate issue
are you trying to glamour it over a lower level item?
yeah
because the item you're wearing has to be equal or higher than what you're trying to glamour
hmm good to know
hey peeps, I've bought the game and shadowbringers expansion in Steam
now I need to buy a subscription because it's been almost a month since I bought the game
where should I buy that subscription thing?
mogstation
ok ty xD
one you login into mogstation there's a "add game time" in the bottom of the page
Idk if this is a question I can ask here but I quit ff14 months ago I bought shadowbringers played from arr to stormblood I’m not sure if I wanna jump back in it feels like a huge time investment if I want to have fun any advice?
I'm new to ffxiv myself, but consider that ALL mmorpgs are time consuming. Grinding and time consumption is what it's all about.
uhhh, think about your alternatives
if you are not doing XIV, what would you be doing instead and compare it
then add in the monetary cost and see if its worth it
do the dungeons that give the irregular tomes also do so when entered via roulettes?
My alternate game is just a mobile one and I play guitar and read those are all cost efficient money is fine but I’d like to play it other ways I think with XIV but I’m just not sure and the worth of it I wouldn’t know till the end of the experience so I was wondering what others do with the game to have fun or some in game things to have fun with
yes @rough anchor

really depends on individual.
i craft/gather and fish and sometimes do the 56man raid.
you still have the whole chunk of shadowbringers as well
It’s mainly I want to play because it’s a very unique game and I’m trying to do new things tho I did play it lots for a few months I only did story but yeah was just wondering.
Why queue for POTD so slow for 51-60
which is comparable to a short single player FF game
I see I was thinking of crafter and getting money to decorate a house or something
Hello may I know how do I join the event? I can't find any moogle icon on duty find.
yea. just working towards your individual goals canbe fun and fulfilling
i wanted to get every crafter/gatherer to max level and i had fun doing that.
have you unlocked the lvl 35 dungeon yet yeos?
thats the first dungeon that offers the moogle tome
Yeah I’m mainly asking for mental health stuff since I’m working on the goal to try new things and still have fun with the experience even if it quit
So I thought jumping back into a game and exploring it instead of just doing the same routine which made me quit would be a good idea
Since I just did msq then gold saucer then roulette then get lost
And that was it
@whole wasp Yes since my level is above level 35
is this really normally slow?
do you have access to the sunken temple of qarn?
@scenic orbit you have to look for the sparkly thingys on the floor
it will have the name destination and you interact with it
then the chert golem will spawn
Ok
@hard elk GP at low levels is like that. you can drink cordials to get it back up
you also unlock traits that increases GP regenaration
as you level up
@whole wasp oooo find it thanks 😆
@languid geyser you can take your time in this game and explore anything you want. there is no time pressure on anything so dont worry. if you feel you are getting burnt out, you can always do something else in game or just quit. your character will wait for you, no worries.
@valid idol it should look like this
thats the moogle treasure trove event currently running
can exchange to mount, etc

everything you can get can be gotten another way except for the mameshiba neckerchief
its just an alternative way if you want to
@whole wasp thank you il make sure to keep it in mind 😊
horns and whistles are basically mounts yup
riding maps increase your ground mount speed in those zones
they are pretty irrevelant since flying speed is always faster and flying speed does not get affected by riding maps
no, they're in every single area
ye but some are in areas without flying right?
I have all the aether currents, but I still bought a map for a Stormblood map bc I like completionism
ye
in patch 5.3, they are adding flying to ARR zones which are currently the only zones without flying
so in 2 or 3 months, all ground maps are irrevelant
soon as you unlock flying
riding maps are pretty much only good on ARR zones atm
then once 5.3 comes out, bam, they're irrelevant
ok well mounts and minions it is
are there already sneak peaks on 5.3?
or a general overview on what they gonne add?
yea. its in #translations-and-liveletters
but there will be another more in-depth one in the next
PLL
we will get the exact release date of 5.3 then
use the pins to go to the start of the last live letter
why the hell is ShB always level gating me
I need to grind 20 million XP to get to the next level
just to play the dungeon
Can you level 80 a crafting job in 1 day if you have all the mats? Or is there some kind of resource that limits your exp daily?
there is no limit other than leve allowance if you are using that as your main source of exp
@humble birch play your daily leveling roulette or msq DR and you’ll never feel you lack exp
@whole wasp thanks! So im just gated with the availble quests or turn ins i could do
ye
though once you run out of leves can always switch over to either restoration or normal collectables
yup. there are other sources of repeatble exp
fates
not for crafters, if you're suggesting that for Rayu.
Which has better survival WAR or RDM ? (for end game solo)
no for ggygyu
I want to say RDM. WAR needs a party member to use Nascent Flash
Otherwise they only got Equilibrium/Storm's Path/Thrill of Battle for Self-healing.
Hmmm WAR has better looking armor sets
Is there a complete guide for what I should be doing at level 80?
not all sightseeing logs are /lookout
there's a few that are /pray, and like one or two are /me
sohm al should be /pray yup
as a lvl 70 crafter with lvl 63 gear
whats my best way to upgrade?
just crafting it myself?
I'd say custom deliveries to get yellow scrips to spend on Handking Gear
when does that become available? i checked scrip gear in limsa but it only showed lvl 50 stuff
Complete the quest "Reach Long and Prosper" in Rhalgr's Reach.
what is the hud bar that shows what attack the boss is using?
ahhhh ok ty!
if that quest isn't available, look for the quest "Go West, Craftsman" in Mor Dhona
Where can i see the mounts being exchanged for irregular tomestones rn
@eager delta if you didn't split the UI for it, it should be called Target or Target Info (Progress)
Like see what they look like before i trade
Ty anyways
ty wynne

so i hit 30 as an arcan
Torn between summoner or scholar
1 is dps 1 is healer
i get they do different roles, but as a scholar id get faster dung groups?
how hard is a scholar to run?
They're a bit wonky for healing at the start since a lot of their good tools are at the later levels
but for low level dungeons like Sastasha and Toto-rak your fairy can pretty much heal all the damage
whenever you get those in leveling roulette
problem is I havent healed in ages, so would trying dung roulette be safe lol
also im assuming if i do go schol
Just jump right into random dung roullete and level off that, same for summoner?
ok im confused
im doing a dung and i just dont have the bar that shows boss skills
i had it last time i was here on paladin
but now on monk
i just cant find it
So now deciding between mch or rdm hmmm
i should to say the quest "search for the charm/ A song of bards and bowman" worst quest ever i seen in mmorpg games
there is no way to coplete it
complete*
yes there is
What's the problem you're having?
the mobs in that area all have a cone line of sight, so clever dodging means you don't have to fight them
or fight very few of them
Also make sure your gear is up-to-date
so since scholar/summoner can be swapped out, and use similar gear.
What kind of gear do I wanna save for a scholar set? Going summon start
Whats the best dungeon to run and repeat during the event?
oh yea since dps ques are usually longer. Do I still wanna try dung roullete, or just do story/leves?
yea but arent dps ques super long?
I am using Requiescat on my PLD but Holy Spirit is still requiring casting. Am I misunderstanding something?
are you lvl 78?
or if i go on roullete, are the dps ques shorter?
I'm on the verge of giving up blm lol. Just in a leveling party there. 68 so had most decent spells.
Had a perfect rotation on boss fight and still 4th on threat meter boss got melted but the other guy in party says he regularly takes aggro on his blm?!
Dps queues are long for msq
Roulette
Others not that bad
It's gear
plus since Shadowbringers it's not very common to be taking aggro as a dps anymore.
yea but arent dps ques super long?
@limber hamlet DPS queues are longer (actually, they're not too bad during COVID) but it's still the best way to level. You should use your time productively while waiting. Have a look at this thread: https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/bd7hd5/the_guide_to_leveling_your_alt_jobs_1_to_70_in/

If I replace the walls, will the other items go into my inventory as well or do I only keep the walls from this?
The other items should return to your inventory.
Yeah I didn't believe he was taking aggro from tanks tbh
But it can't be gear I'm full 400 scaevean in a 68 dungeon.
And I was getting off my full F4x3 F1 F4x3 every time and still behind healer and ninja
Trying to jump into the action of ff14 and all im getting is chain quests to talk to some npc for 5 mins. Good lord
Obviously with DoT and using triple cast etc too
Just... don't worry about dps before 80? Sorry, but get all your spells and your rotation down.
ill save that list
but since ive nver done the story mode, even on ARR
Maybe I should do that at least once?
never*
@fast sapphire it starts s l o w. took me a few attempts to get into the game
bear in mind this's a final fantasy game, so story takes point
also am I correct in assuming everyone's spamming aurum vale for this event
I'll give BLM another go at 80 properly with 480 crafted gear but at the point it just seems weak for me personally and melee is much easier and fun
Hmmm try rdm or mch
And im always right behind tanks on my SAM
If melee playstyle is more fun for you that's a different thing altogether. What I would say is that I didn't enjoy SMN until level 80 but when you can drop Bahamut and Phoenix on enemies it's totally different.
however you may find rdm a bit insultingly simple compared
if you're going in with a full party, then yeah AV is going to be the best/quickest
Im acually keen to check mchs out since they gotten revamped and seem a lot of people using it
With BLUs of course
but personally i would recommend taking it slow
I'm just going in by myself, everyone else's sleeping
MCH are powerhouses
this event is going to most likely be here for a month or so
(and i refuse to believe praetorium is the way forward)
can just do msq roulette once a day, and should be able to get most of what you want

Quick question. If i have like a level 20 marauder but I decided i didnt like that class, can I level a gladiator past my marauder and effectively switch main classes?
How do i queue into a Duty with 2 people in party finder?
says i need to quit the PF
yes, you can @raw salmon
Okay thanks!!
does it just end looking for party
are you still recruiting in party finder?
or does it kick everyone in the PF
once you queue up, it'll stop recruting
oh ok thanks
guess ill try summoner, hope it isnt crazy complicated
How do i queue up with the duty finder if my party is only half full? Does it just work like when i search solo or do i have to do something differently?
queue up as you normally would by yourself
Ok cool
So right now between RDM and MCH which would be more simplier ?
rdm
mch is pretty simple as well, but its burst phase can be a bit rough since you're trying to fit a lot into a a short window
I see
So I'm kinda new to the mmo genre and I'm trying out the gladiator. What exactly is the use of the "stun" debuff? Do I use it exclusively to cancel boss mechanics or use it more liberately? What's the difference between stun and interject?
stun stops all action, interject stops the currently cast action
in lower level content, there's a lot of things that can be stunned to stop their casts/from attacking
so stun stops autoattacks, interject only stops pulsing-cast-bar casts
but as you get higher in level, a lot more mobs are resistant to stuns
however stun won't work on everything
interject is used to interrupt casts
but the bar needs to be flashing for interject to work
yep
Isn't that where the enemies debuffs are shown?
yep
How do i know the difference?
where the "Water" cast bar is
interjectable casts pulse slightly
and are usually a bit slower if they actually MEAN for you to stop it
Oh you mean the second bar on the top right above the health bar?
yup
https://i.imgur.com/6opbDnl.png like this cast bar is not interruptable, thus interject wouldn't work
it's a bit hard to see in a still image, but once you've seen it you'll get the drift
ye its more obvious when you see it ingame
Yes I can see it from the 2 images
GLA/PLD also has 2 stun effects due to shield bash AND the tank role action stun
so it has one stun from its own kit, and one stun that all tanks have
AND interject
So the difference is that stun gets resisted after some time
but interject never?
yep, diminishing returns
mhm
interject just stops a cast, simply - but stuns have diminishing return
Stuns can only be used effectively 3 times in a row before the enemy will resist them entirely.
so if you have something stunning frequently like a white mage spamming Holy, you may find your stun doesn't work
Yeah, but when should i use the stuns? To interrupt or all the time to stun?
but like i said, after a realm reborn, a lot of things are naturally stun immune to begin with
notably most bosses cannot be stunned
You can use stuns to interrupt stuff, generally. Notable case being the dumb adds in Haukke Manor that do a massive aoe when poked
For low levels, can use low blow as a defensive cd to stop autos if you know you won't need it for a non interject interrupt
But the top right bar is really good to know, thx for that
shield bash is not used quite as often because its a gcd
And yeah, since stuns stop all actions for the duration you can effectively use it defensively
low blow being an ogcd
Yeah, shield bash is really clunky
and by the time you actually use it, you could've just ran away
(and all your melee dps probably already have)
Does the top right bar show for every ability? even autoattacks?
Guys, what is the best way of farming the moogle tomes? Just spamming praetorium over and over again?
Yeah makes sense
@leaden ginkgo i've been told aurum vale is the best value for time
I was just used to playing blm for a bit, where seemingly everything has a cast time haha
hah. yeah
Well I think I've understood everything, thanks for the help!
GLA/PLD's rotation is pretty easy to set in stone imho, so it's not too much of a bother
Yeah the combo mechanic is really enjoyable
however i hope you like hotbars cause paladin has a lot of buttons
do i have to pack up all the stuff in my house to relocate? or is it fine as long as the storeroom status has checks under the relocation status?
I believe you gotta pack it all up. Possibly even take it out of storeroom. It's not a convenient process
no
when you relocate it'll be placed in your house's store room
and the storeroom capacity will be increased to max (400/40 iirc)
so unless it goes over that, you're fine @smoky glade
ohhh great thank you @twilit arch
@agile laurel Not really a fan of too many abilities without an mmo mouse. That's why I'm playing on ps4, the cross hotbar works really well 😄
When are the new rewards at the Gold Saucer available? I mean like in which part of the game they're available (I'm in Stormblood currently)
the only rewards that are tied to any sort of progression is the Lexentails hairstyle
all other gold saucer rewards are immediately available
and the lexentails hairstyle requires you to complete the return to ivalice questline
spring bottoms requires a certain amount of fashion report points to get
between 6-8 weeks
@white sinew yes
I see, thank you
whats the best bundle to buy after you've finished the free trial?
for the Artemis bow questline, does it matter if I turn in a HQ Longarm's Composite Bow, or a normal one?
hey guys
what is the cheapest and best food?
i wanna try to stay under 500 gil per meal
craft it yourself then, dont think endgame food will go so low but if you only want the 3% exp get some cheap boiled eggs or something from an npc

iv never played FFXIV, what server should i pick? EU
either the chaos or light data centres.
you can play with everyone on the data centre you choose.
so if you go light, you'll play with everyone on light.
the server only matters for free companies (clans) and housing.
oh okey. thanks 😄
hi, so when i'm in the wolves' den or whatever there's a button that lets you execute a combo of 3 different skills. is there somewhere where i can add that to my non-pvp action bar?
Just soloing some HW content. Should I be able to unlock all EX trials solo as 80 PLD? Sephirot took a while had a lot of hp compared to anything else I've soloed
hi, so when i'm in the wolves' den or whatever there's a button that lets you execute a combo of 3 different skills. is there somewhere where i can add that to my non-pvp action bar?
@simple nymph no, even if such option exist, it is very easy to mess up your rotation
PvP actions are designed very differently from your PvE actions
They may looks the same, have the same name, and even roughly the same mechanics, but PvP actions are designed to burst damage other players
PvE actions are build for prolonged raids
@solemn delta yeah, I've done 2 of the Warring Triad normal solo as PLD, I need to try Sephirot too
But seph is the first one you unlock?
I had it unlocked long ago but I only unlocked the other 2 recently so I could unlock the extremes for bird farming
Oh as soon as I can enter I can go do other quests.
He's easy just took 8 minutes
Does a 99,999 swipe
Think it's avoidable but I just healed through it
hey peeps, one more question about subscriptions (I bought game in Steam).
Does it matter how I buy a subscription? It says there is Add Subscription, Add Game Time Card, Steam Payment, Buy gametime with playsafecard.
Should I only use Steam Payment since I bought game in Steam, or it doesn't matter?
I just started playing this game and I'm currently a level 22 Marauder. Some of my gear has slots for Materia. Is this something I should worry about right now? How do I obtain Materia?
Doesn't matter @echo obsidian
No. Only at 80.
thanks mate @warm blade
@fierce briar
Thank you @solemn delta
Only matters at 80, you'll replace your gear every level or two and you'll get heaps later and can purchase ones you need for relatively cheap later

Awesome! I've been just focusing on main story quests, class quests and getting professions to level 15 so far. Did my first dungeons yesterday and really enjoyed them.
Marauder is great for dungeons. Fast queues 👍 enjoy
is there a reason why i see people fighting cracked ronkan vessels in ratika?
They're a hunt target for ShB hunts iirc
how do I commend someone after a dungeon is over?
What does it do when you commend someone?
There's a notification in the notification area (default is lower-right corner iirc), you have to click it and it pops open a window that lets you pick someone.
@fierce briar It's just a bonus currency that you can give to a player at the end of the dungeon to show thanks or show they played well etc. You can't spend them, but there are rewards for earning different amounts of commendations.
yeah but the person I wanted to commend wasn't on the list
only 1 person was out of all 3
If they leave the dungeon, they won't appear
when people leave the instance, you can no longer give them a commendation
Oh that is really neat
And some people exit asap
Did the role color for Primal change? Looks a bit more yellow to me
any idea how I can fix this ?
the ilvl of the weapon is 390 and the gem is 290 but still gives 0
The weapon has its max crit
When melding materia, it has a limit to each stat it can have, which includes the equips regular stats
oh so I have to choose something else
Ye
aight thanks :D
guys, so I've been doing dailies all the time and I'm 1/3 into SB but already level 74. I'm starting to worry about doing dailies with my main job as I might max out and lose the experience from msq? should I do dalies with my alts only at this point?
Is there a fast way to the flagship for these containment trials?
I'm just flying atm
From Helix - Flagship
@next wind don't care about hitting 80 early. What dailies? Pixies?
Not that I can think of, just flying
First thing I've seen you actually NEED flying to access in the game
can i remove recruitment code?
https://gyazo.com/b6d54f5fd81435a1826faa27bc92646e what is happening xD I cant damage this guy 😮
any idea on how I can kill him?
nvm figure dit out
can the Thavnairian Scalepowder not be bought before I've gotten my first resistance weapon?
Nope
@next wind don't care about hitting 80 early. What dailies? Pixies?
@solemn delta daily roulettes
and since msq gives experience I will miss out
I do have a couple of alts so I think for roulettes will just stick with those
pretty sure SB + ShB will give enough exp to go from 75 to 80 🙂
hey im just starting to get into this game
what server should i join? i dont have friends on here yet, but im playing from Korea atm, will be back in the states later
Well some servers offer you an exp Bonus for creating a character there
Or you keep looking for a guild online and then you decide where you can join
But i suggest join the one where your first language has the most apperance.
It also somewhat depends on what kind of gameplay experience you're after
I think the bonus exp is a big deal, so a good choice is a recommended server
ofc language as well but if you go with your region you'll get that
alright cool beans
@slender monolith Since you're in Korea, I would recommend one of the JP servers. Although that suggestion should also take into consideration where in the US you're going to be when you come to NA.
Is it just me or I cannot find any differences between Eos and Selene anymore ?
is there a way to remove recruit friend?
There are no differences between the faeries anymore.
right im just gonna join one of the na servers!
Just the colors.
what!?
They changed it at the beginning of ShB along with a number of other class reworks.
Eos and Selene are now cosmetic choices, with both having the same abilities.
so they changed that ?? why ..what's the point
¯_(ツ)_/¯
Because people barely used Selene

does this game have an option to walk into range of a target and auto attack?
like if a have a target selected is there a command or button that will run my character to them without having to wasd walk to them
There is no such command, no
is there a list of BiS crafting gear for a lv 50 crafter? (That I could ideally craft myself with my weaver/goldsmith/leatherworker)
you can auto select the nearest target using the keybind but you can't auto run
ok thank you
Just get the Artisan set fron your GC
there's a possibility to do macros for skills but it's not recommended
@open coral thanks
A macro wouldn't do anything useful in this case anyways.
do you think a controller is better? i'm noticing i have trouble maneuvering around targets and also keeping my autos. there are a few times where in the middle of everything it's hard for me to see that i'm not in range of a target and it takes extra time to walk before i do damage
Personally I find controller to be the better of the input options for movement purposes.
It makes hotbars a little more complicated if you're not used to using the WXHB setup, but it makes up for it in manouverability
Also... do you have your camera zoom set close to your character or far away?
i move it around
same
Try moving your camera to max zoom distance and keeping it there.
the wider the better for bigger fights but sometimes you need to get close to click on things
i think qe make it easier i'm just not used to it

but like in wow you have an option to target and run to the enemy to hit them. it's just really weird of all the things they miss something that small
Generally speaking, having your camera at max distance (at least during combat) is going to be the most beneficial, as it gives you a better view of mechanics and enemies.
If I transfer to Crystal DC to play with a friend, can I transfer again later? I know it will likely cost money, I just want to know if it will be possible
thanks for the help!
@lilac thicket no not really. The highest lvl nq/hq set will be enough to level. There is no bis until 80
If I use fantasia and end up not making any changes will it still consume it
Yes, it's possible to do that @bold frost but I believe you're locked out of transferring again for a certain amount of times.
@stable hinge yes
Rip
@stable hinge The potion will be consumed, but if you don't go into the character editor, you'll simply be asked if you want to do so every time you log in.
^
Ill probably just make a retainer to see if it looks good
Which you can say "no" to and continue playing as usual.
i see, I'll just go ahead and get the Artisan set as @fresh lodge said, then... it kinda miffs me that it's not HQ but I guess I'll outlevel it soon enough
There is no HQ version of it
Hello, what is the fastest way to farm the event item? Considering the Praetorium has a lot of unskippable CS?
4 party BLU spamming AV
Aurum Vale? What's BLUE?
blue mage
Blue Mage
Blue mage
Blue Mage Spamming Aurum Vale?
Yes
They can do it fast
A group of 4 players as BLU, even synced down to AV level, is ridiculously overpowered.
I really don't understand how. Sorry, I'm new. I'll try to ask people around if they can do that.
You can unlock the BLU job once you reach level 50/the end of the 2.0 msq
Well if you don't have BLU unlocked then its not worth levelling it up just for this
^
Just spam Praetorium
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=smRzkWupS5A basically this
모그리 석판 이벤트 금골 스피드런
1 Clear = 4~5 Min = 5 Tomestones
2020/01/20
Stick to Prae
See this Containment Bay P1T6, Sophia. Really starting to annoy me.
How do you know which way she's gonna make you slide??
I'm gonna farm Orbonne
Theres an event going on?
Check how many meteors are going to each side of the scale
Thanks
I see. Haven't unlocked it, yet. Thank you.
Scale?
The scales on the sides of the area
Right and you run to the side with more or less?
Less
update: 2 minutes into a controller this feels like a completely different game holy shit. +1 again for controller
I'll give it another go but this is annoying lol
Every meteor has a weight, and whichever side weighs more it will tilt towards
So 3 meteors on one side weighs more than 2 on the other
So it will tip towards the one with 3
at least if it's normal, extreme has 2 types of meteors, one heavier and one lighter
I think on normal always go to the opposite of the blue meteor
I never understood sophia I just followed everyone else
there some braindead strats for that like, if the number of tethers are even its a strong tilt if odd its a weak tilt
hello there
is this the appropriate chat to ask for help reggarding connection issues? i can't see to be able to connect to my carachter on light/shiva due to connection errors
Might be helpful to post screenshots of the error.
Thanks @oak ice
There's red lines that connect to the ship type thing
You just go to the side with less red lines lol
depending on the problem you might be better off asking in #technology-discussion
got a question about this "gold saucer area"
can u get there some rewards?
or is that just4 fun
when trying to connect to my datacenter it gives me error 2002,i've restarted my router and it let me connect once, however when i tried logging in with my carachter it gave me error 10105, now it won't let me connect back to data center again with repeated 2002 errors
Guys
I have a question
Anyone?
Based on past patches, do you think there will be a new gear set introduced thats better than crystarium gear? Before the next expansion
What is it bill gates
Lol
Ok so,
I just reached lvl 30 and I want to choose class or the thingy you do when u reach lvl 30 as an archanist I want to become a summoner
How do I do thtat
Look for the summoner job npc
I havent created a summoner so im not sure which city
Let me check
Ok
It starts in Limsa at the arcanist guild, then leads you to Gridania
Yeah still same arcanisr guild in limsa
You need to be caught up on your arcanist quests first and have completed the Sylph Management MSQ (lvl 20)
But you have to finish all aecanjst quests first, the one you get every 5 levels

There might be 2. One is for scholar, one is for summer. I believe the summoner one comes from the guild leader lady
Yeah I am at lvl 15 on that mission
@olive lintel I believe 5.4 will have new tomestone gear, as 3.4 and 4.4 did before it.
So I need to get to lvl 20
You should have a thing like this on your screen. Do the bottom quest always. It's usually a class/job quest. @leaden ginkgo
@leaden ginkgo you need to do level 20 and level 25 quest then
Rayu, save up more what? If there is new gear in 5.4, there will be new tomestones to replace allegory.
I think going through Aurum Vale even not as a BLU is faster than going through Praetorium. I'm still not done with Praetorium since I've asked earlier. lol
if i use the main scenario roulette. will i still get the tomestones from it?
Yes
@wind kindle If you have a non-blue premade party maybe. If you try to do it with randoms, your results will vary as AV can be a pain with pugs sometimes.
Go in as a healer to save you some trouble
I like Prae just because I can queue as healer and watch youtube through most of it.
AV can be hard if their healer dont know how things work
I've experienced that yesterday, yes. That's true. But really, it's like 30mins per Praetorium or more than 30mins. I can't go in as a Healer, I'm new to the game. I only have Archer at the moment.
But, I understood how AV works after that run tho. 2 stacks then eat the fruit, etc.
You mean bard right?
yes bard
Has the moogle event started?
Yes

Started like 7 hours ago iirc
oh u can q potd with a lvl 1 class??
You can.
if i was planning to try out dancer, what class should i level with from 1 for practice? i know archer is the other rdps but i have no idea if that's the class with the closest playstyle
honestly Dancer doesn't really have an analogue
You onlu need lv17 to unlock potd
Bard is closest to dancer imo, since they both heavily rely on proc based combos
the closest i can think of is old machinist before they reworked ammo
And they're both ranged so
yea but im starting on a new server, so level 1 is required :p
what do i do with the allegan tombstones? is there something worth buying with them
Poetics can buy you the best and easiest to obtain gear at each old level cap
!faq poetics
my weapon at +12 should i q for floor 1 again or keep trying floor 20-30 but no one q-ing... been like 30mins already
You use poetics to buy the "best" gear at level 50, 60 and 70
Check out that faq for more info
@rough lance isn't it like midnight in JP right now? That's probably why
erm
is it possible to level desynth to max on all jobs? i can't see the max i see on many vids
japan most active time is 11pm to 3am
yes, desynth can be maxed now
so far i played 24hrs
on all jobs
Ah, I had no idea lol
@whole wasp nice, thank you!
I'm not familiar with peak times on other data centers so I was just taking an educated guess
do company hunting logs extend further than tier 3?
Don't think so
Which world on Light data has the cheapest marketboard?
I found cheapest rebel coat 700k on odin but everything elsebis hella expensive
Im looking for cheapest winsome wallflower lol
What's it mean when a piece of gear says it was spiritbonded to you
so um... I know you guys probably answer this daily but... How do I get company seals quickly & effectively?
Daily roulettes give a good chunk
@fierce briar It means you've equipped and used it in battle, so it can no longer be traded to other players.
turn in dungeon gear for seals
just got my squadron to r3, I need to complete 5 command missions right before I get a chance to do captain mission? these ones?
how do you turn in gear for seals? I just keep passing those gears up so others in need can get them
Yes
oh nice, so I completed the first 3, that means 2 more of my choice? that's really good
dzemael darkhold with sqaudrons 
Thank you @strange coral
@wind kindle talk to one of the officer in GC
you'll see something like "provision mission"
Requires Sgt 2nd Class rank iirc

i was making my way back to a boss after dying and my team killed it without me, i didnt pay attention but do i still get exp?
Containment Z1T9 Zurvan is a pretty hard solo right?
Looking to change my home world to either Leviathan or Famfrit..what do the communities look like there on both worlds..? I apologize if this is in the wrong channel.
He started to hit insanely hard towards the end, doing swipes constantly for 10k. Even with clemency and my CDs I couldn't stay alive
At about 25% he got rough
Geez, I'm afraid I have no more costunes left to buy
Those damned housemaid pumps 
They need to add Gaia costume
anyone tested if squadron give tokens to? and what retainers should i get? already have 3 gather and 1 fighter, a second fighter ?
guys is in gold saucer anything important? or can u get some mounts etc
Mounts and stuff like that - TT Cards @arctic oriole
Can you Dye clothes bought from the mogstation?
@stable hinge depends on the item - check the store for more infos about that
Looking to change my home world to either Leviathan or Famfrit..what do the communities look like there on both worlds..?
wanted to dye it black for DRK
u mean that triple triad ??
yes Ye
so gold saucer is just a fun place? u dont get anything in your pocket
so i can skip and not waste my time lol xD
thanks..!
You get mgp a currency that can be used to get some cosmetics
Basically a minigame place
cosmetic that sounds nice
Thank you
Shu, with that man retainers I'd consider what you need
A 2nd combat class to fund your hunting materials isn't a bad idea
just have then for fast explo
is the moogle hunt event unlimited or one reward per day?
got a wall to sell for 200k so good to have xD
@brave seal you can farm it
I think I'm going to change my home world to either Leviathan or Famfrit..what do the communities look like there on either worlds..?
for how long does it stay ?
Fumii, you might have a better grasp of the community if you ask #retired-na-datacenters
If you're already on primal go peek with world visit
I wasn't sure where to put this question.
The Moogle event will last longer then 2-3 weeks right ? so Daily Roulet should be fine o.o
At the moment shu, we're not sure but probably at least a month.
ok missed the first two ^^
is there a list of any exp buffs that I can take?
@warped geode nono its ok to put it here I'm just not sure you'll find the answer youre looking for since not as many players are from those servers. You could also hiver in #general-discussion and ask primal people that way
here is some stuff listed about exp things o.o and some items that boost the gain exp
So does that mean those servers aren't very active?
thx!
No?@warped geode.
I apologize for not knowing much. ^^" I'm still quite new.
dont worry, thats why u can ask stuff here 3: these guys friendly ^^
Are you on primal?
Yes.
The World Visit System allows players to visit other worlds on the same data center. After hopping to another world, you are then able to do almost everything you are normally able to such as partying up to take on duties. Click the link below to find out how it works, and what restrictions there are.
Oh okay, I see.
Oh look someone from lamia is here
Thank you..but how do i know haha? Should I justy ask around?
I see their name typing
Afaik there's not much difference between the Primal servers. Leviathan used to be the "twitch" server, but I don't believe that's the case anymore. All of them are active. Preferred server status helps keep them populated when one gets a bit low.
!preferred Primal
Why is Famfrit preferred? o:
I don't often visit the others beyond checking for cheaper MB prices though.
Population shuffling
The devs decide this world could use more people
So they incentivize character creation there
It changes by the patches when devs decide
are there any major changes to the TT System? still that hard to gain cards from npcs ?
Rng yes
Still frustratingly RNG
Hm.. one of my friends is from there..I'm trying to find a place where FCs seem fairly active.. Ive been in a couple and none of them seem to have barely more than 3 people at a time. o.o
No changes to the system I can recall just more cards
mhhh feels bad, some npcs dont give out there card
FCs are a thing you have to figure out
You have to try them for yourself
Also consider though
We're in a patch lull
So less people will be subbed until more content comes in
I see..
and still the servers full like hell x.x
We're also in a pandemic so more people are online at all hours due to stay at home orders
I finished eden's verse before i finished 5.25 msq, it mentioned the savage will only appear after i finished it. I finished 5.25 Echoes of the Fallen Star but the Lewrey doesn't have the quest icon?
it's not there =/
hey all got a quick Q im fitting my redmage lvl 61 whit shire philosopher set but i can't fit 2 of the caster rings what do i get for my 2nd ring ?
Story was only required for the additional quest after it
the only part that's requires MSQ is the epilogue of the raid set
you can augment one of the caster rings @sullen warren
I cleared all including Refulgence, but the savage ones don't appear
||makes sense in context since 5.3 is going back to the source for everyone||
only have e1s-e4s
so it registers as different than the other caster ring, and has a higher ilvl
Screenshot your high end duty tab
@opal shoal aah good one tnx
@dark girder did you complete the questline
oh
please check your high end duty tab
Hey guys, got a quick question regarding worlds: A friend of mine is an idiot and created his char in the wrong world. I know he can use the "visit" feature to come to our world, but there must be some cons to not having the same world set as a "home world" right?

oh!
That's not your high end duty finder
Current Savages, extreme and all ultimates are always in the high end duty tab
I don't know I even asked in general oops. Anyway what's the most efficient way to do this event?
I want to make the most of my time.
They're shifted out when not Current
Also duty finder for any extremes and savages are never in any roullete
so use party finder for those
Blue mage aurum vale for event
Hey gang! I cannot seem to trade Stellarclusters for DOH/ DOL materia at the crystarium? I can get combat materia but the crafting stuff is grayed out.... Am I missing something? TIA
What if I don't have Blue Mage lol ..
dol doh materia clusters can only be gotten from wonderous tails
You want stellaCRYSTALs
oh it includes trials too
Okay, thankyou
thank you! now I know where they are
If you dont have blue mage then probably pvp for event
@mild ermine PvP is pretty alright when revival wings runs their events
Thanks, I see. So, is there a way to move the home world without paying the absurd price of 18 dollars? He's on Lich, but we are on Twintania, is either transfer possible for free or is there no way without paying?
Pvp really? o.O
AV spam is ok too if you have a decent group
can some one help me to unlock HW weekly Hunts and the Exchange Centurion Seals Advanced???
@cobalt pagoda have you unlocked your Allied Hunts from your Grand Company
I have the Level 1 and 2 daily
Great, then continue the unlock quest "chain" at your Grand Company
oh
You have to unlock all of the GC hunt related content before you can unlock HW hunts
Okay since no blue mage, pvp (rival wings) , and aurum vale if good party. Ty.
well, I have unlock the Level 1 and 2 daily hunts
I guess I need to continue with my GC to unlock the Weekly ones?
if you don't see any bluequests, probably
Check your quest log though if you have any active quests

whats the best way to farm collectables for gatherers?
for what purpose
i need scrips to improve my gear
but i feel like i spend ages just sitting
and waiting for my gp to regenerate
/timers > Rowena
Grab the starred one
stock up on cordials and eat those then
otherwise you'll have to tap nodes and just get one collectible at a time instead of spending GP to increase a low tier node
@slate arrow I didn’t find any other quest on the GC, does HW not have the weekly hunts but only 2 daily hunts??
@cobalt pagoda double check the Forgotten Knight for another bluequest
Are you high enough level to unlock the next rank of dailies hunts

? well I’m lvl 61
and I also have lvl70 characters
I have Level 1 and 2 for Daily hunts, I guess I need to do some HW MSQ to get higher levels?
The unlock for the third hunt rank in HW is in Idyllshire.
ooo

I haven’t got there yet
oh
I assumed you finished the MSQ
oops
everything is locked behind MSQ progression yeah

I see, good then, I guess I will continue to do the daily ones
Do I gotta go back nexus mods and reinstall
Or do I just delete and than import the mods again
I think you only have to finish the 3.0 msq (and the rank 1 and 2 unlocks) for the rank 3 to be available. But I'm not positive because I didn't unlock hunts until long after I'd completed the MSQ...
btw when does the daily hunts reset?
!reset
0 Days, 22 Hours, 21 Minutes, 58 Seconds
0 Days, 3 Hours, 21 Minutes, 58 Seconds
0 Days, 15 Hours, 21 Minutes, 58 Seconds
0 Days, 15 Hours, 21 Minutes, 58 Seconds
5 Days, 9 Hours, 21 Minutes, 58 Seconds
5 Days, 2 Hours, 21 Minutes, 58 Seconds
4 Days, 19 Hours, 21 Minutes, 58 Seconds
Same time as daily reset.
Because I heard that updates brick the mods
How long is the Ivalice questline?
as long as any other raid unlock sidequest
So like 3 hours?
Three Alliance raids and a bunch of story in between long.
Is it easy to understand for someone who hasn't played FF12
Yes
