twilit arch
if you don't have it on the menu, then you need to unlock the extract function
little swift
Have you done the 
twilit arch
by completing the quest "Forging the Spirit" in central thanalan
rare karma
Do I have to do that quest to equip them as well? Cause I got one materia from main story but wasn’t sure how to equip it and gave up
twilit arch
melding requires the quest that unlocks after Forging, which is waking the spirit and allows you to self meld provided you've got a crafter of the appropriate level
but forging the spirit unlocks the npc melders
who can meld for you if you dont have/want to level crafters
thorny spruce
Let me get this straight, I have to finish all the quest and attune all aether just to fly,
rare karma
I c thank you
thorny spruce
but 5.3 wont need any quest anymore?
twilit arch
no that's not the case
5.3 is adding flying to ARR zones
its not changing anything about flying in the expansion zones
warped nest
Want to add in that unlike expansion zones, flying in ARR just requires completion of the base game

how to stave off boredom while levelling alt classes

Hey totally new player here. Im really exhausted of running from A to B for questing. Any tips to make it more interesting? I got (not sure) 25h in and not even finished the basegame msq. How many hours am I supposed to go on questing?And its boring because I cant even be happy about level progress, because Im playing on Zodiak..
dusky nest
it will continue like that for quite a long time
only the last like 20 quests or something before heavensward finally start to get interesting
if you dont want to burn out on them, i would suggest only doing like 15 quests per day and then do some other shit inbetween like crafting, leveling other classes, duty roulettes etc

oblique yew
so a gladiator is mandatory sword and shield?
obsidian patio
yes
oblique yew
what if i want to use a 2H weapon like a greatsword?
keen scarab
wait for DRK
twilit arch
then you'd have to play dark knight
oblique yew
damn
keen scarab
GLA is a vestige of an old system that really needs to go. it's training for PLD
oblique yew
i spent 7 hours on this gladiator character
how do i switch?
i am currently lvl 12
twilit arch
weapons are job specific and also how you go about switching class/jobs is by equipping the appropriate weapon
keen scarab
at this juncture you'll only be able to unlock other classes, though you'd only have PUG in the area you are, i believe
twilit arch
dark knight requires you to enter the first expansion, heavensward, to unlock
which requires lvl 50 and completion of all the A realm reborn main scenario quests
keen scarab
after 15 you'll have access to all three home nations
at 30 each class will advance into individual Jobs.
oblique yew
is dark knight a class or a job?
keen scarab
however, any job introduced after 3.0 will be isolated, not connected to any class
it's a job
oblique yew
so you start off with a class which then gets divided to various jobs?
keen scarab
when you get DRK in Ishgard, it unlocks at 30
that was the idea originally, but they decided on something else
twilit arch
No, each class has a specific job that's tied to it
keen scarab
so the only class that still does it is Arcanist
twilit arch
the only class that has multiple jobs is arcanist, which has scholar (healer) and summoner (dps) jobs

Hey there, just wondering; I read about the free-login-campaign thing recently. They do these more often I figure, but is there any place to see a schedule for when these are? Or are these done ' randomly' by the Devs and I should just follow their twitter or something to find out if they have a free-login going?

robust quiver
Thanks, that's very usefull
next wind
which one should I wear?
2ndary stats way better of the scavean but the normal one is tiny bit better with ilvl and dmg
next wind
okay
twilit arch
secondary stats are not that important, especially while leveling
next wind
so always ilvl and dmg right?
twilit arch
well, not quite always.
like if that ilvl 403 item wasn't HQ, it wouldn't be worth using over the scaevan
next wind
I see
twilit arch
but its a good rule of thumb to abide by while leveling since generally higher ilvl means higher stats
next wind
anyway I'm gonna hit 80 soon, what's the easiest way to gear up before I reach ShB (and get free 80lvl gear) or should I just stick with scavean until I complete msq?
twilit arch
you could stick with scaevan until you get your af4 set, but i would recommend using whatever gear you get from msq
next wind
ok thanks
twilit arch
plus whatever dungeon drops you get
potent tapir
Just remember not to replace your Scaevan gear with lower iLevel stuff
Since it should last two dungeons if not upgraded?
next wind
ok
is it normal that if I have my squadron training not complete (timer is up but I didn't click complete) after daily reset the training number is not carried over?
for example yesterday I used the last training, but didn't complete it. Then did so 1h after the reset time, but I had 0 training left..

okay, that's kinda annoying xD

are you sure?

leaden ginkgo
So is there any point to “high quality” materials besides making a lot of the materials you make with rapid synthesis useless?
It’s pretty stupid that I’ll craft some ingots and like 2 of the 8 I make can’t be used in the recipe because they are “high quality”
faint flare
HQ mats increase your starting quality which does help if your gear/rotation is bad
You need to use the arrows to use HQ mats
On the side where it lists the mats
leaden ginkgo
Ah I didn’t know that
vagrant copper
If you really want to make NQ stuff for some reason, you can degrade the HQ mats into NQ mats
leaden ginkgo
So you can’t mix high quality or normal? You have to use all of either?
faint flare
You can
You can adjust how much of each you can use
The game automatically uses NQ and you'll need to adjust the number of HQ Mats used manually
leaden ginkgo
Ah okay, I’ll try that next time thanks. It said I had insufficient materials if one of them was HQ so I was confused
proud willow
are you using Quick Synthesis?
leaden ginkgo
Yeah for ingots and whatnot
proud willow
there's a checkbox on the Quick Synthesis window that says "Use HQ materials"
faint flare
^
proud willow
they won't affect what quality results you get, but you can use them
leaden ginkgo
Usually the problem would come up when I was using normal synthesis on a new piece of gear
leaden ginkgo
Using some high quality mats to increase the quality bar sounds like it could come in handy. So far I haven’t been able to get the bar maxed out (I’ve gotten close once)
proud willow
maxing the HQ bar is very rng dependent until you get to high level
when crafting things that are around your current level, anyway

You can do it earlier unsynced if you're more people unless you wanna try soloing it

but there's not much reason to do it before 80
if you're going to ignore the normal restrictions anyway, no sense in making it any harder than necessary

So they are end game weapons?
faint flare
Which requires clearing the unending coils of bahamut. Which is a ultimate tier fight, one of the hardest in the game
Its a lv70 ultimate raid and ultimates CANNOT be unsynced ever
magic light
just to clear out any remaining doubt from me being blind, wildfire and rook bomb thing is automatic, right?
magic light
god, why did I think it was manual
faint flare
The manual denotation is for if the boss would go immune

icy quiver
Hi, I just did the first quest of shadowbringers but I understood I should do crystal tower quests to understand the ShB story better?
faint flare
Yes
mortal root
yes
faint flare
It helps explain alot
icy quiver
it means to do all 3 raids?
hot eagle
yes all 3 also with 5.3 it will be mandatory anyway
zinc orbitBOT
icy quiver
oh k thanks
Alliances raids are hard?
mortal root
no
faint flare
Ni
hot eagle
nope
faint flare
They're casual content
oblique yew
When does the story pick up?
icy quiver
Oh thanks a lot, so I will continue the ShB after this
I should find ppl in duty finder? i queue 15min so far
faint flare
Yes
It pops often due to alliance raid roulette
And people's love of spoofing ilvl so they always get crystal tower
Cause its facerolly as fuck
last vale
when it's the best time to queue specific ally raids? i still need Orbonne for quests/progress ...
feels like queue is not ending
hot eagle
probably around daily reset, so even now and as dps its easier to get in alliance raids as when u play a tank or healer since its 3 tanks, 6 healer and 15 dps
oblique yew
When should I use duty finder?
faint flare
For anything thats not extreme, savage, ultimate, minsitral ballad or binding coils
icy quiver
Thanks a lot for answers! if I do it first time as tank it should be fine?
icy quiver
blue dps? you mean just dps the boss?
icy quiver
oh k ty very much ^^

I check Humble Bundle and the main site usually
forest lark
I have a question regarding glamour plates and stuff, so i know that prisms are used to register glamour to dresser, but will it use prisms every time I switch glamour plates?
hot eagle
square and humble also had a sales not so long ago iirc so will probably also be a while till the next
faint flare
No, using plates are free
forest lark
Oh thats so cool, I didnt know how plates worked so I kept consuming prisms a lot

@hot eagle I don't use a VPN. I've tried different browsers / computers / phones / tablets. I upgraded the game VIA the mog station, and can't buy anything optional.
@idle brook here a answer from the ffxiv forum from a mod sometimes it helps to wait 24h before trying again
Good Morning, and thank you for posting on the Final Fantasy XIV Technical Support Forums.
While an i2501 error is not a technical error, we may still be able to assist. An i2501 is a general error on the Mogstation, as such it can be difficult to diagnose. It can be caused by an abnormal connection, a public network (Internet cafe, University connection), the use of a VPN or simply too many rapid attempts. The system will try to filter out anything it finds to be "strange."
Generally, waiting 24 hours between attempts can help alleviate the error. If this does not solve the issue, it may be necessary to contact Customer Support.
The Support Center can be contacted via phone, chat or email support through the Square Enix Support Center website. Please use this link to direct you to the Final Fantasy XIV support website:
http://support.na.square-enix.com/main.php?id=5382&la=1
so if another browser, or ip/vpn didnt help i would try it in 24h again if it dosent work then your best bet is to contact support
idle brook
Yeah I contacted support days ago, but I imagine it'll be weeks If I hear anything at all.
I can't even add a payment method, so it's not declining that.
Thanks for responding!
hot eagle
hope u get an answer soon then and that it resolves your problem

forest pilot
so im lvl locked out of doing the main quest by 3 lvls (im lvl 46) and i decided while waiting for the dungeons. to lvl DoH/DoL up. what is usually more profitable
forest lark
Well glamour platea are good, but it sucks I have to return to inn every time I want to experiment or change something T. T
robust crow
@forest pilot if you really want profit through crafting/gathering
shadow wasp
Question! What should I do with all the extra gear that I no longer use?
robust crow
you're gonna need to level all of them
for now, just pick one you like and stick with it
or, better yet, wait until you finish heavensward so you get access to ishgard restoration
that's one of the most efficient ways to level crafting from 1-60
@shadow wasp if you want to be very efficient
echo obsidian
hey friends, why is that Weapon smith of Legend isn't showing up for me? I've completed the Ultimate Weapon quest and right now at Coming to terms which is far behind it
robust crow
either save it for a retainer, learn desynthing and desynth it, glamour it, or vendor it
shadow wasp
Ah okay! I knew I was able to do more than vendor it so that's good to know. Is the retainer basically just used to sell it on the AH?
robust crow
you can give your retainers combat classes
and they'll need to level up just like you do
so you're going to need to pass them some gear
most people give them reject gear
shadow wasp
Ahhh I see!
robust crow
gathering/crafting classes too, FYI
burnt spear
as BLU do I have to kill the enemy with my spell to get the spell the enemy used?
because I've been Final Sting'd like 4 times already and the damn thing still doesn't give it to me
robust crow
@echo obsidian did you talk to the actual npc?
sometimes an NPC has multiple quests and the one you want won't show up through a mouseover
echo obsidian
yes, this one has zero quests @robust crow
robust crow
strange coral
@burnt spear The enemy has to use the spell before it dies. And even then some are RNG as to whether or not you'll get the spell.
robust crow
do you have "A Relic Reborn"?
there's this too
all pre-reqs for the zodiac weapon questline
robust crow
are you caught up on all your job quests?
echo obsidian
I guess so, as BLM I have Flare and I've got the spiky hat
Lalai and the big black guy don't give me any quests anymore
faint flare
@burnt spear you need to see the spell cast and be alive for it. Overworld has some RNG while doing dungeons synced makes spells guaranteed
zinc orbitBOT
finite ferry
maps only appear once a day?
faint flare
You can only gather 1 once per 18hours
olive lintel
When doing light farm for anima, do i need my relic to be equiped when i farm A9s?
slow sable
Are collectables the best way to level crafters after 70?
faint flare
You need it equipped when the boss dies/instance is completed
So equip prior to fighting the boss
queen cove
Because you cant swap equipment midcombat
olive lintel
How about exiting the knstance?
olive lintel
Demn okay thanks for letting me know
queen cove
Exiting the instance ONLY works for like the 2nd step of anima and the final step I think
lyric warren
how long do we aprox have until moogle event is gone?

Until 5.3...Probably.july if no further delays

are there lvl requirements for fishing rods for example. like you have to be lvl 38 fisherman to use a lvl 38 fishing rod?
faint flare
Yes, just like any other weapon
echo obsidian
one sec
forest pilot
oh i cant even equip a lvl 1 fishing rod
robust crow
i've done the whole questline and didn't have an issue like this

Did you unlock fishing?

oh crap, thanks man xD @robust crow

untold birch
👋
can someone gimme a quick rundown if i should pick a pref. or a standard server besides the XP boost? 
faint flare
If you can
robust crow
well, I guess there's one reason and that's if your friends are on a different server and you really want to be in their guild
faint flare
Also 15 free days for levelling to 30
untold birch
I do not have friends in this game, starting solo hah
robust crow
pick a preferred server
untold birch
sadly, all EU preferred seem to be congested
robust crow
0 reason not to
untold birch
so I gotta wait atm i guess
faint flare
Yeah wait until people sleep
robust crow
yeah you'll have to wait until non-peak hours
players from other servers can play together as long as they belong to the same datacenter
so the server you pick doesn't really matter
robust crow
well, there are RP servers and other non-official designations I guess
untold birch
good to know
drifting bane
is there any way to make hotbar 4+ to be saved across all classes? its saving only hotbar 1, 2 and 3

okay, thx for help

Your job gauge
robust crow
every job has a unique job gauge
faint flare
Currently it shows if you have your tank stance on
faint flare
It expands later when yoy get Oath gauge
pine bluff
oh I see
faint flare
You get a pop up telling you this
little swift
It just tells you if tank stance is on or off for now
robust crow
i don't play paladin but I can only assume that's your PLD gauge
pine bluff
ohhh I didn't notice the popup cause it appeared under my map haha
enmity = agro right?

lean quest
ive been trying to unlock rogue as an option in character creation isnt showing at all
eager delta
where do you buy lvl 70 poetic gear?
eager delta
ty
ye i already have multiple lvl 80s
just came back after 9 month break
so forgot all these things
eager delta
so you wanna create a job
that starts in the same city as rogue
lvl that job to lvl 10
oblique yew
Is level 19 good enough before leaving the starting city?
eager delta
then change to rogue
frank anchor
are there addons we can install? or does the game not support addons
eager delta
@lean quest you wanna create a job that starts in limsa lominsa
lvl that job to lvl10
robust crow
levels aren't really a good gauge of game progress @oblique yew
eager delta
then you unlock the quest to become a rogue
robust crow
story progression is the best indicator
if you can still continue on your main story quest, then you're fine
chances are, you may be overleveled if you're on a preferred server
lean quest
@eager delta my gladiator is already lvl 27 just wanted to change of style for sometime to see how it works
more so was wanting to start as one
robust crow
there's not many reasons to have a 2nd character in ff14
eager delta
you cant start your char as a rogue
robust crow
you can just go learn the class and try as rogue
eager delta
if your gladiator is lvl 27
you can unlock the rogue on that char
like you play all your classes on the same character
robust crow
is that a modified dark mode?
little swift
Just make sure you have done up to your lv10 class quest
robust crow
my dark mode is just gray
little swift
Its a ui mod
eager delta
this is a ui mod
lean quest
@robust crow @eager delta oh Interesting
eager delta
you can just do the quests of the other job
lean quest
ive actually lvled rogue upto 11 at the moment
lean quest
yea that changes the class
eager delta
also you can save your equipement setups
put those on a hotbar
and you can swap jobs
with 1 button click
lean quest
hmm so pretty much u dont need to make a second character wow thats amazing honestly
eager delta
jup
robust crow
one character can be every class simultaneously
eager delta
and if nobody wants the loot of other classes in a dung
you can greed it
and get it for when you wanna play that class
lean quest
but that also means you have to priortize certain sets I assume in certain situations
like for instance raids
eager delta
jup
but every raid set except hte latest 4
have unlimited loot
as in
you can get multiple pieces per week
robust crow
the raids drop a token
you can trade the token for the gear you want
so you can do raids as a healer and roll for the token like everyone else
and if you win, you can trade the token for, say, DPS or tank gear
eager delta
^
faint flare
And savage drops gear in coffers
Which gives you gear on what job you open it on
Current Savage is weekly locked but you get as much loot you can win on the first clear of the week
You cant roll on further clears of that floor in the same week. Even if you dont get anything
lean quest
starting to understand a little
robust crow
lets...not talk about savage loot for a level 27
eager delta
but you can always do the raids more often
just no loot
but if you wanna prac on a dif class
eager delta
you can still do it on that class
rich bay
And the devs most likely change the savage loot system again in 6.05, looking at all the complaints about unfairness. (In theory it is better, but it feels worse for players and that is what counts.)
eager delta
wasnt normal raid loot
you could get 1 piece per boss
and if you didnt won your first clear
you could do it again
faint flare
I doubt they'll change it, other than just adding more coffers per fight
eager delta
and roll for it again
faint flare
For normal yes
wind kindle
Yellow, where is the Additional Retainer option in Mogstation? Can't seem to find it.
robust crow
it's under additional services
faint flare
Plus seems PF is slowly catching onto the "dont be a ass" system
And rolling on 1 piece at a time
robust crow
wait nevermind
wind kindle
It's not there, sorry.
eager delta
that loot system kinda forces a static
because a pf will fuck you in the ass if you unlucky
robust crow
it's under "your account"
wind kindle
Oh, there! Thank you! 😄
faint flare
I've seen PFs adopt the roll on 1 piece at a time strat
Slowly getting better
Steadily
rich bay
@faint flare,
Do you think the game needs to enforce a 1 loot per player system? (With same amount of loot.)
faint flare
Eh
Would make gearing way more easy than it is already
And make the content done quicker especially in terms of savage
shrewd relic
Does anyone know the name of the emote that lets you lean on walls
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Its something Wallflower satanic
shrewd relic
thank you 🙂
rich bay
@faint flare
Still not, because only 3/4 players get something.
Anyway, this is the Question channel so i am out.
lean quest
its not worth it to use the level boost for just trying out a class ?
robust crow
uh...
that's not exactly trying out a class
if you buy a level boost then you're committed to that class lol
cuz you can't get a refund if you don't like it
but I suppose that's one way to test a class at max level..
lean quest
thats fine to me honestly am going to be doing gladiator anyways for the main story progression, so unless it wipes that
robust crow
level boost and story skip are two different purchases
so yes technically you can buy a level boost
but you're not going to be able to do anything with that boosted class since you don't have the MSQ progressed
other than kill some random mobs outside the main cities
or punch a target dummy
remote lintel
yes you can
faint flare
You get access to palace of the dead later
lean quest
thats fine with me as long as I get to try out the class I suppose and learn a little going forward at times
faint flare
And your levrl inside of it is different outside
remote lintel
just do palace of the dead
faint flare
And you can be lv60 inside of it so its a somewhat decent way to try things out at 60, solo though since shit dies too fast in party
robust crow
you won't get your job skills if you enter PotD as a level 1 though
you'd have to be level 30 and promoted to ninja
faint flare
Need your job crystal ye
60 is a decent point of viewing jobs as you have most of the core part of majority of jobs kit at that point
sturdy glacier
Are there no more botany quests after the one at level 70?
lean quest
hmm so I pretty much just wait till I reach lvl 60
thats fine I guess I save money lol
faint flare
Well you hit 30, jump into palace of the dead, get to floor 51 (you can start there when you reach it) then you can try stuff out
@sturdy glacier no, you just have the Facet of Gathering stuff to do
Which are the Doh/dol role quests
desert ravine
i was watching this "Mistakes New Players Make in FFXIV" and thinking all of those didnt happened to me, until she talked about unlocking challenge log, im already lvl 52, not sure what it is but im gonna unlock it as soon as possible

Stuff like do X roulettes, commend X people, do X fates etc
eager delta
where can you see your challange log?

I am new to FFXIV and was wondering is Scholar is a good choice as a healer? As I love playing buffers / healers
remote lintel
all healers are good choices for healers
if you like buffing and healing pick up astrologian later
they do just that

is the recruit a friend campaign cross platform?
i play on pc and my friend wants to play on the ps4

How can I unlock a Scholar? Is it a hard process?
remote lintel
no, you start with arcanist and you can unlock it at lvl 30
arcanist splits off into 2 classes: scholar and summoner

Question what is the most efficent way to level in each level gap I am a new player and ive heard 1-20 to just do msq and hunting log but yeah I dont rly care how fast a level compared to what is the most efficent way.
pine bluff
oh ok
sudden aspen
oh I saw it, ty
remote lintel
most efficient way is msq and roulettes
for higher levels add the highest level dungeon
pine bluff
the most efficient way to level is play on a preferred server, my god it's so much faster
remote lintel
until you hit 70
upper mortar
Whats "easier" samurai or red mage? Been playing ninja and i feel like im bad at it, i wana try something easier
remote lintel
red mage definitely
burnt spear
does this exploit still work?

I believe they fixed that
burnt spear
welp

it works if you have a friend though

But you can just tag mobs and have a higher level friend kill them

on some jobs
but for BLU do lvl59 mobs in azys lla
get a friend to blow them up for you as everyone has been saying

do I need to tag mobs around my level? or any level is fine?

So I'm currently downloading FFXIV onto my ps4 as the starter edition was free. It says it included 30 free days, however i had played the free trial on pc. Will i still get the free days?

you can tag mobs of any level for BLU
