does anyone know how to find the place to dig for a treasure map?
i went to the area it shows

Do any beast tribes have cool glam like anantas and the false nails?
little swift
Cool is probably subjective
There's stuff like the moogle slippers
And you can literally wear a vanu vanu suit

Anything else worth getting from the
Irregular tomes?
That you get from the praetorium?
I got myself two mounts
next wind
hey guys, I remember when I started playing there is a 70lv skip when buying full game + all expansions and it's valid for 30 days? My free 30 days is about to expire and was wondering if I can still use it on one of the alts? If so, how? Thanks
gritty oracle
All the mounts are obtainable by other means, afaik they're beast tribe mounts. But they require a lot of grinding to get.
faint flare
Only the necklace is unique
Everything else is obtained elsewhere
The ixion mount is a good idea since its one of the more annoying mounts to get due to not too many people hunting it
The bird and dog are from extreme trials which are easily done unsynced
The cheaper mounts are ARR beast tribe mounts
leaden ginkgo
The necklace looks terrible
vagrant copper
Now the real question is if it is worth grinding for the MGP certs
faint flare
Well the event is gonna last awhile and you'll probably passively get them via roulettes

Hello, can anyone tell me if the 60 day vet reward Advent Attire is account bound or character bound?

Excellent, thank you Corsak
lucid orchid
Are Hunt targets recorded somewhere or do I just have to take notes when I'm in a city and go from there
dense pier
You mean the Hunting Log?
vagrant copper
For the lower level hunts, you should be getting some kind of ... thing in your inventory or key items
lucid orchid
Ahh, yep there's a key item. Dumb.
They gave me so many books and then a key item. Cool.

can we use High-grade Company-issue Tonic to raise patty members or is it only for squad?
vagrant copper
How did you download the game?
next wind
is it possible to turn off cutscenes before and after the dungeons?
vagrant copper
@frosty badger I can only imagine that the tonic is useless outside the squadron. That's what pheonix feathers are for which is limited to carrying one
Bruce, there are some options for skipping all cutscenes or skipping ones you've already seen
compact sundial
im talking to the person who has the problem idk with her wait

Fillers are for when your combos misalign with the 1-minute burst windows on SAM
dense pier
Is it possible to make "1-button" macros like Tera where it will chain to the next ability if you press that same button?
dusky nest
nope
faint flare
Yes but you're basically killing your dps by like 80%
dense pier
faint flare
So dont
dense pier
I mean, I don't want it to do it automatically
dusky nest
you can make a macro where you press once and it will work through a series of actions, but that is very slow and inefficient
dense pier
Ah
faint flare
Macros dont skill qir
dense pier
So you can't make it toggle to the next ability
faint flare
So stuff comes out slowrr and slower
Nope, not like how its done in pvp
Not without murdering your dps
dense pier
That sucks, but thank you
faint flare
Chain in tera was pretty trash anyway 🤷♂️
dense pier
I just wanted to do it for the simplier macros
and to condense keybinds
I like condensing keybinds. I did it a low in classic-wow where I had 2 - 3 abilities per keybind based on conditionals
faint flare
Like i always say, trying to press less buttons means less dps
little swift
!faq macrogcd

faint flare
The macro is the one wirh the cog
Left is normal, right is.macro
You can see the large drift that happens bit by bit
dense pier
yeah
oak ice
Half a GCD after about 30 seconds
dense pier
I'm honestly worried with how the game will be in 5 - 10 years if they just keep adding more and more skills instead of starting to condense
I like having lots of skills
oak ice
They prune every expac
faint flare
They've been removing and combining skills
dense pier
but it's a bit intimidating when you look at the entire ability book
Well that's good
faint flare
We more or less.havr the same amount of buttons as last expansion
Especially with ones that evolve after a certain level
To the next tier
shrewd relic
Does retainer level boost apply for gathering classes as well?
faint flare
Se has a decent control over the button bloat, even if it does make some early levels feel really bad
heavy jasper
do servers ever get congested anymore?
faint flare
They do but congested status changes on patches

Goldsmithing crafts +GP earrings, what profession crafts gathering rings?
faint flare
Carpenter and sometimes leatherworker
dense pier
I looked through the carpentry recipes on google
I saw no rings
Earliest ring I see for carpenter is level 53
misty talon
is chocobo the only mount you can use to battle and such?
dense pier
but I can't even see the stats on it
faint flare
Yes
raven sage
Leatherworker makes gathering rings
dense pier
Yeah
I just saw that
How do you even level leatherworking. Don't you have to rely on RNG from monsters?
or is it just a goldsink job
shrewd relic
for DoL retainers, they can't retrieve something that you havent personally picked up yet right?
raven sage
You can spend gil but typically you'd use a retainer to gather skins ahead of time
zinc orbitBOT
shrewd relic
I leveled up my gathering classes through expert deliveries and havent actually gone out to retreive a lot of items
raven sage
And yes if you haven't gathered it yourself once they can't gather it
shrewd relic
What happens if you purchase lets say 3 extra retainers and you decide that you only need 2
What happens to all the items/progress on the 3rd retainer?
slate arrow
They get frozen until you upgrade to 3 extra retainers again

When do I start getting cross-job craft skills?

I'm unable to get the quest for Memoria Misera EX trial. Any idea why that would be? Says the only pre req is finish Fire in the Forge. I have 4 485 relics?

there's no quest for EX

solemn delta
I'm at the npc "Wandering Dramaturge" and he offers nothing but dialogue?
Which I've exhausted.

I just unlocked Desythnisize. Should I use this ability, or should I turn in to GC, or sell for gil?

Also what's going on here, why is this materia red:

That materia goes over the stat cap

you've gone over the cap meldable on that piece

in the meld menu you can see how much of a stat is meldable
at the bottom of the window
solemn delta
Only Edens Verse Savage there
dense pier
to complete his quest
little swift
Wait, why desynth spiritbond?
@dense pier stuff with like 1% spiritbond can't be marketed. so extract if possible then blend it
dense pier
ah kk
slate arrow
@little swift I think they meant vendor
sleek roost
Desynth/GC turn-ins are pretty mutually inclusive, it's more about what you need at the time than anything
little swift
im responding to the previous question @slate arrow
but yeah its a more of what you need kinda deal
sleek roost
Just unlocked Desynth and need to level it? Desynth. Need rare mats for crafting from high level drops? Desnyth. Need to level GC or get Ventures? GC Turnin
little swift
but i find i don't really value turning in gear thats like 98 seals
sleek roost
After just unlocking it though really you should be spam desynthing everything you can to level it
They let you desynth anything at any level now but if it's not leveled you're gonna get worse yield
little swift
using all the garbage fish you catch while leveling FSH to level CUL desynth is a good idea
bold frost
I'm trying to buy a character transfer on Mog Station, and I just get Error Code: i2501 before I'm even asked for payment info

How do I register a free teleport location? Keeps saying I need a security token but idk what that is
slate arrow
CS is limited to email only due to COVID
sleek roost
2factor auth = security token

@dense pier you need to buy a physical 2FA token from SE
dense pier
Oh

or get the APP
dense pier
wait what
slate arrow
not just the app
slate arrow
wait oh
little swift
app is perfectly fine
slate arrow
dense pier
Okay
alpine shadow
buy SE, that might also help
little swift
worth noting also the companion app will give you an extra favoured destination
bold frost
CS can answer emails but can't do live chat?
That doesn't make sense to me, but I'm willing to accept it, I suppose.
dense pier
What's the diff between favoured and free? Also, companion app doesn't work on the free 8-day return period.
bold frost
Stupid that I tried ONE TIME to buy something over a VPN while logged in, and now I'm restricted for who knows how long and have to email them and hope they actually answer me

Free is free, favored is halfprice for teleports

sharp rapids
so, probably not a new question but, i was looking in the party section of the game, and most of the groups there are just selling runs, is that a standard?
dense pier
Ah
slate arrow
yeah, it's allowed if it's for Gil
desert ravine
where can i find the level of my mount speed?
little swift
travel > mount speed
sleek roost
People can sell their adventuring services for gil yes. But usually that's a minority of Party Finder listings
slate arrow
travel > mount speed
desert ravine
found it. t hank oyu
sleek roost
Bearing in mind if you're new then most of the PF listings will be hidden/grayed out to you or if you're outside of your server's prime time then the only listings might be those afk ones
sharp rapids
@sleek roost Ah I see, thats probably the reason
dense pier
SQUARE ENIX Software Token?
It's 2.9 stars so unsure if that's it
sleek roost
That's the one. 500K+ downloads, SQUARE ENIX Co.,Ltd.
(don't ask me why the reviews are low, I've been using it since ARR without a single issue)
It is important you note down your recovery code somewhere safe though. Otherwise if your phone dies you'll have to contact SE to get the token removed
hollow nimbus
im not sure what to do with my allagan tomestones im getting in dungeons, at the shop it says i got 0, do i need to exchange them for the tokens?
shrewd relic
When I purchase the extra retainer, does it add to my normal billing cycle for game subscription?
Just wanna double check for accounting means haha
sleek roost
@hollow nimbus There's different kinds of tomestones, make sure you're talking to the right vendor/option for the kind you have.
@dense pier Probably? You can always talk to an aetheryte and see if setting a free teleprot is an option yet
@shrewd relic Yes
hollow nimbus
i have the tomestones you exchange to the itinerant moogle
open coral
It will bill you with each cycle, but also for whatever the remainder of this cycle would cost you. So if you're on the 6 month, you'd pay like, 96 cents or something since the billing cycle is almost up. @shrewd relic
open coral
Different kind of tomestones
hollow nimbus
and the itinerant moogle doesnt really sell gear

i just had the thancred vs ra'jin fight and his combo-skill was all in 1 slot

because else it'd be too complicated for some

So is it a good idea to turn-in the Ixali dailies as low level DoH (IE. level 1 leatherworker)?

little swift
So is it a good idea to turn-in the Ixali dailies as low level DoH (IE. level 1 leatherworker)?
@dense pier you can do the quests on a higher level crafter and turn it in on a low level one
dense pier
yeah
that's what im doing
going to go learn leatherworking really quick
and then turn these all in
proud willow
The first 10 levels come so fast and cheap that I don't know if there's much point in using turn-ins to skip them
sleek roost
Although you should probably craft one of everything from the super low level recipes first instead of using Ixali
proud willow
sort of similar to combat classes
sleek roost
Since the vendors at your crafting class trainer sell all the mats you need for gil

agile laurel
Is CRP's Standard Touch just basic touch x2?
leaden ginkgo
@wheat hazel you can't access apartments or hunts without reaching a certain GC level either. And both are huge
weary dock
@agile laurel Standard is 1.25x for 32cp. Basic is 1.0x at 18cp. Two basics would be 2.0x for 36cp.
(and 20 durability.)
agile laurel
Right, so it's more dura efficient to basic touch twice?
wait
i can't math correctly, please put me out of my misery
weary dock
Try it this way: Standard lets you put a little bit of extra quality, for nearly double the CP cost, in one durability step.

i assume i should buy dlc before continuing considering my exp bar is blocked?
so that my msq dont go to waste

Yea, Shinryu only using "Demicrystals"
sleek roost
If you want to get that exp then yeah that's correct Voenus
People tend to overlevel quite a bit by the end of 2.x so wouldn't hurt if you like the game enough to buy the expansions
Thankfully buying Shadowbringers gets you all the other dlcs as well
thorn thicket
and those were added in 3.4
hollow nimbus
alright i was planning to do the quests after arr ends then buy dlc since i need to do them first
but ill buy the pack sooner
yeah i recently learned shadowbringers also has heavensward and the other one

its like what wow is doing
once the new expansion is out, all the old ones are bundled together

imagine paying a monthly sub on top of buying dlc's separately
no thanks lol
that would be overkill

is there any benefit to doing leves over scrips for leveling crafters?
like do leves give significantly more exp
or am i better off doing scrips since i need them for master recipes anyways
wintry chasm
Scrips as in Rowena collectables and not Ishgard restoration?
obsidian patio
Leves give more experience but you’re limited by your allowances
wintry chasm
What Wynne said
I'd say Ishgard restoration is just as good as leves but also are just easier to do since you don't need to make different things every 5/2 levels
So if you can do that I'd do that
Custom deliveries when you hit level 60 is good enough for yellow scrips getting the books won't be too hard

One advantage leves have is that
if you have enough you can completely ignore a gear tier

Thing I thought is, his gear is min maxed at 470. Materia, stats etc
leaden ginkgo
17k dps on samurai is very much possible
solemn delta
Back at 470 though?
leaden ginkgo
Easier now that you can get 500 ilevel
Yes
Well if theres video proof of it it must be possible at 470
solemn delta
I can barely scrape 13-14 at 481 and I'm following the guide to a T
Yeah but it's an SSS dummy could have just been lucky dCrit
Said he got a 200k midare...
Dunno how that's possible
Don't think I've broken 100k lol and my weapon hits harder 😂

scenic orbit
I just roach level 50 what should I buy from the market to use as my new staff?
solemn delta
No he's SSS
faint flare
Lucky dhc then
scenic orbit
Oh um I'm a white mage so I guess we don't use staff
obsidian patio
200k Midare sounds impossible as even edenchoir DHC only hits like 150k with Midare
proud willow
No need to buy a level 50 weapon, you can get the Ironworks Weapon in Mor Dhona using Tomestones of Poetics
scenic orbit
Cane I think it is? Or wands
faint flare
Wands are non existant after arr
scenic orbit
Oh ok so only canes from here on out?
faint flare
Just buy ironworks stuff in mor dhona with poetics
faint flare
Best you can get
solemn delta
Yeah I'm gonna watch again lol
scenic orbit
How do I get poetics?
scenic orbit
Is there anything I can straight away as I've just hit lvl 50
solemn delta
Roulettes nice bonus too
scenic orbit
Or did I need to be lvl 50 in story too
scenic orbit
Ic
solemn delta
If your wand is mega under I think you can get from vendor
It's grey but hey it's an upgrade
scenic orbit
I'm using a groot stick right now

scenic orbit
They're done. Just finished my lvl 50
fallow summit
The cane looks super surprised
remote lintel
you could just buy from a vendor if ur desperate
proud willow
There's nothing complicated about it. If you want to buy a level 50 weapon, the items on the market board are listed in order of descending item level
so just take one from near the top of the list that's affordable
remote lintel
those may be resells of vendor items
solemn delta
Highest is 45 in gridania
proud willow
Just know that you'll be replacing it at the end of 2.0 with something significantly stronger, so no need to spend a lot

He won't have access to ishgard obviously yet

How much time must’ve gone before you can leave a duty safely?
Without the penalty
obsidian patio
Or the duty needs to be completed
solemn delta
None if your first go leave you get 30 min ban
You could tell the party you have to go and to please dismiss you.
I've done that before and usually they are pretty cool about it

@scenic orbit do you have a question with that screenshot or...?
warped nest
Ahhh, I see now
warped nest
Another good source of gear that people overlook is your GC

Golden compass?

Ah my company is still just free
warped nest
Free Company is different from Grand Company
scenic orbit
What's grand company?
solemn delta
Finish story do roulettes do trials etc
You'll be swimming in poetics
Actually
If you have a friend who can go to Ishgard
The grey there is a LOT better than that
warped nest
i115 from Ishgard is NQ
So it will still be massively outrank by i120 Ironworks from poetics
warped nest
It is just relative rarity

are there restrictions to gold saucer? can I spend 12 hours everyday farming points?
warped nest
Not direct representation of power
warped nest
No restrictions, @dry fossil
dry fossil
cool thanks
solemn delta
Could do trials etc
warped nest
The story is balanced, you won't need gears you can't get to clear contents
Don't waste gils for 2 levels worth of convenience
solemn delta
Yeah he doesn't need that cane was just an option if he really wanted an upgrade
scenic orbit
Ye I know. I don't mind waiting. Just seeing if there was a fun upgrade I could take advantage of
Also my cane looks dumb
frank anchor
If I want to get "Kirin", do I need to have Nightmare mount, or just the 6 ponies without nightmare ?
warped nest
Just, 6
solemn delta
The - 12 damage you see is the comparable of the Ironworks gear upgraded
12 magic damage is HUGE

I have the starter edition digitally on PS4 and I'm getting Shadowbringers physically so would I just put in the disc in and log in with my account and it should work? I'm not really sure how this stuff works.

Anyway need to get to 60 want my shire gear on. Good luck with your grind

Hey there, I'm looking for Silkworm cocoon, i'm in the right spot and right time but it says slot 4, what's that ?
obsidian patio
@frank anchor you don’t need nightmare
glass ravine
I'm afraid i don't see what you're refering to, maybe because i'm only lv51 ?
scenic orbit
Is there any point in getting player commendations?
twilit arch
when you open a gathering point, there are 8 different slots
first most one is slot 1
last most one is slot 8
quiet crystal
1500 comm = one of the req of being a mentor
glass ravine
But there's not gathering point at the said coordinates
quiet crystal
So for timed nodes
quiet crystal
You'll have arrow pointing at one on top right
twilit arch
because the node that silkworm cocoon is on only spawns at certain times of the day
quiet crystal
Make sure that you're looking at Eorzean time too, not Local time
warped nest
Make sure it is Eorzea time
slate arrow
yes
quiet crystal
ARR timed nodes spawn every real time 1 hour
warped nest
God forbid if it is local time or gmt time

hi all, I'm a returner, could i ask some question?

Okay so it was time related lol, thanks for your answers ^^
Didn't see the different clock settings

when I login the first time for few years. the launcher asked me to input the register code. I tried to input both ( base game + Heavenward code from steam). It keeps saying invalid.
What should i do now ?

Can you login into your account in mogstation?

yes

You can also send them in a message to another person on your friends list

warped nest
You put the code in mogstation?
regal escarp
here is the code i got, before starting the boot launcher
https://gyazo.com/5e4d0361c3d459b1c3ec77e08121d4f7
it doesnt have steam option to input
fresh lodge
Looks like you're on the free trial
But you didn't make it through Steam so you can't use the code
warped nest
I thought you can go free trial to steam?

The SDS Fenrir boosts mount speed right?
slate arrow
not quite
jade quartz
Not exactly
twilit arch
it automatically comes with the first tier of movement speed
slate arrow
you get the first upgrade for free, but the MSQ also gives you the first upgrade
fresh lodge
Its gives you the speed boost you'd get from the MSQ
jade quartz
^ for the SDS Fenrir only
proud willow
Fenrir gives you the 1-star mount speed boost in each zone before you earn it from the MSQ, but is not otherwise any faster than other mounts
crimson wind
Oh
jade quartz
It does not automatically unlock the speed boost for your other mounts.
It just is as fast as 1-star upgrade speed by default.
meager palm
Hi everyone, just got the collectors edition of shadowbringers. I’m still in the starting area because I had to go buy food. But I’m wondering how I redeem the digital content?
warped nest
Once you put in the code, after a short while, they will be send to you via in game moggle mail

Ohhhh, how do I get moggle mail? I’m in the starting area for lancers

is there a way to pick which one i enter ?è

No

You get plopped into the currently unfilled one

we had a group prepping 2-3 bosse at the same time, and this one is filled with new people

Hi! Quick one: are some mounts faster than others?
opal shoal
the Cloud bike I think is inherently faster but no mount is faster when you have the riding map
crimson crystal
@lavish vortex cloud's bike is faster I believe

@crimson crystal have you out materia on yourself
Cloud bike
Starts at 1 mount soeed
But it's not faster
All mounts max out at 2 star mount

Is there a braindead way to remember Mirror Mirror 3 in E8S?
clockwise/counterclockwise, then facing north south can mean odd or even waymarks, then finally wing position
it's just too much
clever cave
um.. one thing i heard before was 'if glowing wing is on blue mirror, go behind boss, if not go infront' (relative to where shiva is facing).. but usually i just imagine shiva infront of the mirror after going to the first safe spot(left or right)
@sturdy mason
austere vale
is anyone else down?
clever cave
from the game? seems to be working fine
wintry chasm
Yeah that's pretty much it. If blue mirror is on the right it's anti clockwise, if left it's clockwise and then if the glowing wing is facing the blue it's behind
If not front
There isn't really an easier way to work it out

i think you're already full of the questions so yeah 😦
i heard
that the dev team inteds to shorten the MSQ in patch 5.3
is that true or..?
obsidian patio
Yes.
left sapphire
i'm a new player but i find the MSQ too boring already
and i'm afraid of doing it since i googled some opinions on it
mossy current
The post ARR patch MSQ specifically
obsidian patio
13% of all ARR MSQ will be cut entirely and a much larger amount will be adjusted to make shorter
All of it, actually.
mossy current
Oh? Huh
left sapphire
including the "100 pain quests" ?
obsidian patio
Yes
junior yacht
that is what is being adjusted, specifically
junior yacht
🤷
remote lintel
it gets better
left sapphire
yeah. nothing to do haha
hoping so
do you know any release date for the next patch?
faint flare
No
But estimated probably july if no more delays
It was gonna be mid June but virus added a month delay roughly

ooh okiii
and i have another issue with doing quest
it sends me on random maps that are hard to get to quickly

Just turned 50 and i still havent finished the MSQ yet. Is there a way to get level 50 gear yet to make it faster?
vagrant copper
Once you get far enough, you might find a couple that open up dungeons that reward tomestones
faint flare
Do your job quest if you havent
vagrant copper
And that
faint flare
Otherwise you can get some gear from market since you cant access lv50 stuff before finishing arr
sour shoal
Thanks, i read that after finishing ARR i could start doing stuff for tomestones while continue MSQ to 60?
faint flare
Yes
pastel sparrow
I'm a couple weeks new, how can I familiarize myself with ff14 updates? I see alot of talk around 5.1 but I dont know when that patch is or what it is. the news page just has other stuff on it
faint flare
You can check patch notes in the Lodestone
warped nest
@sour shoal to be specific After finishing ARR base story you will be getting poetics tomestone from most lvl 50, 60, 70 contents and some of your roulette duty, poetics tomestone is the universal currency for all previous level cap (50,60,70) related items and gears
warped nest
Usually, you don't need to worry about what is added when (btw, we are in 5.2 now)
The transition into a new patch is usually very smooth, most players shouldn't need to worry about tracking these changes accurately
vagrant copper
If I'm level 72 but just finished HW, should I worry about getting whatever the level 60 stuff is or just go for some marketboard stuff?
warped nest
If you have gils to spare you are free to get lvl 72 HQ gears from market board, and it will last you into early Shadowbringers (~lvl 75 
) if you don't upgrade until then
So this will last you post HW, SB + post SB, and early ShB
opal shoal
you'll make a decent amount of gil selling quest reward HQ gear too (or use em' for other jobs of course)
warped nest
not directly related, but I also recommend getting an expansion job that starts at 60 (seeing that you just finished HW) to absorb some of the exp
Once you hit lvl 80 with this lvl 72 job, you will waste the rest of the exp
opal shoal
for sure
vagrant copper
I do have some jobs lined up for when that happens 😉
leaden ginkgo
How many people
warped nest
So yeah, invest in lvl 70-72 HQ white-rarity gears, they should be very cheap because players get them from their but they probably outrank them with their blue-rarity Scaeven gear
warped nest
If you get those, you won't need to waste your poetics on Scaeven, which you can't get because you haven't finish Stormblood and you won't get later because you have massively outlevel it
Umm.. Around 4-ish
leaden ginkgo
warped nest
You probably need 1-2 player to go into the portal to kill 4 adds

quaint fog
I suddenly have 30 less GP than usual and none of my equip have changed; was there any patches?
obsidian patio
Nothing that should’ve changed equipment. Maybe one of your gear is at 0 durability?

I have miner and botanist at lvl 80; I've always been above 800 gp

Um how do i demolish my private chambers? xd

@neat wharf the option should be called something along the lines of vacate private chambers. Can’t remember if you need to be on/in the housing to use it
@quaint fog hmm, were you using any food? Only other thing I can think of. :/

Nah unfortunately; I made sure i could be above 800 without food

Yellow, is it really just 3 times per Tribe Quests everyday?
obsidian patio
Per tribe in the expansion, yes
junior yacht
3 per tribe, 12 total per day
obsidian patio
You get 12 allowances.
ARR tribes besides Ixal start with 3 dailies each and go up to 9. Ixal goes to like 15 or 18 quests
Expansion tribes also give another three when you rank up on that day, besides the final rank.
wind kindle
12 Allowances? Sorry, I'm not following. I only get to do 3 quests per day with the Pixie.
I want to do more than 3 tho.
obsidian patio
Can’t unless you rank up. You do get to use the other 9 allowances on other beast tribes though

Oh, I got it. The allowance is shared across all of the tribes. I see. Thank you. So, I guess I really am stuck with 3 for now, eh?

For all expansion tribes, yes.
