errant copper
I should be good as long as I do all these quests which I have until now, right? --> 
little swift
yup, you can always go back and compare with that faq
errant copper
amazing thanks a lot!
next wind
is aurum vale doable with squadrons? I need 1 more command mission until captain
faint flare
Should be yes
little swift
yes it is, just keep in mind all mechanics that target a player target you
next wind
that's fine as long as they won't wipe out
little swift
its only the first room that could possibly pose a threat, but even then its fine
leaden ginkgo
does the blu lvling method work on other classes?
little swift
not really
the other jobs don't benefit from the boosted exp amounts a blu has
it really is only sorta ok from levels 1-15
whole wasp
BLU has massive exp boost in open world that the others domt yea.
little swift
and even then 
wild terrace
i reached lvl 50 and lvl cap is locked , i havent finished story yet a few quests left. Does it unlock after i finish story or is there something else i need to do ?
whole wasp
But im return BLU gets crap exp from dungeons.
faint flare
Buy the expansion
little swift
you need to register the expansions to your account
wild terrace
expansion ?

Shadowbringers
faint flare
Register the Shadowbringers code to your Mogstation account
whole wasp
Did you activate it in your mogstation?
faint flare
If you're xp lockrd you havent registered it
wild terrace
mogstation ? is what ?
whole wasp
!faq mogstation
zinc orbitBOT
whole wasp
The ffxiv accounts website.
wild terrace
oh man i need to log in and out see the key dont i , ok ill try to do it now
whole wasp
Did you buy it from square enix or from steam?
If its from squeenix, code might be in your email
wild terrace
steam
whole wasp
Thats simpler then.
wild terrace
hm i dont see where i should put the key
i see 2 keys when i click to open the game
whole wasp
pine bluff
is it possible to try on multiple gear at once? e.g. if I want to try on a full set of armor
whole wasp
If you right click the game in your steam library -> licenses. You should see the code.
pine bluff
seems it only lets you try on 1 at a time?
whole wasp
Yes. Press the book button
faint flare
Press the save outfit button
pine bluff
ohh
whole wasp
Your try-ons will stay
wild terrace
ah it worked this time lets check ingame
whole wasp
If your starting screen gets the shadowbringers art, it should be ready.

latent prism
is non-bis eden better than unaugmented bis crystarium?
I got the eden helm for summoner but it gives spell speed
whereas the crystarium helm has crit
wintry chasm
higher ilvl means more main stat means automatically better pretty much
So yes
Weapon damage >>>> main stat >>>>>> sub stats
latent prism
I see
faint flare
Dont overvalue substats
Higher ilvl basically always wins unless the higher ilvl item has dead substats, which are only really piety and tenacity
dense pier
I just picked up Dancer and I am confused to heck
crimson wind
Does TEA unlock require completion of Alexander raid series
little swift
requires e4s
raven sage
yes
faint flare
Odd patches bring in 24man raids that have equal gear that matches the capped tome gear and the coin can be traded with the manufacted coin to purchase upgrade items for allegory gear
solid grove
I have a standard account and the Heavensward expansion. Do i only need to get the Shadowbringers expansion to be up to speed?
latent prism
so like a weekly augmentation and a alliance raid piece?
faint flare
Yes
Oh and eden verse normal weekly lock should lift on gear pieces
The blade should still be locked iirc
latent prism
savage and allegory are still locked right
faint flare
Yes
little swift
yes
raven sage
I believe the amount of blades you need will be lowered as well
latent prism
ic
little swift
blade goes to 4 when the cap is removed
faint flare
Savage lock won't be removed until 5.38
little swift
like x.x5 patch usually
raven sage
Noted
little swift
iirc eden's gate was 5.18
distant bane
On BLM i just got firestarter, but it confuses me that i can insta cast and no cost a f3 but it puts everything on global cd? what do i do in that window
seems like it just leaves me dry for a bit
distant bane
the only thing i see that i can use is transpose
little swift
check your role actions
faint flare
Plus fire 3 does more damage than fire 1
frank anchor
trying to solo Sephirot extreme on a paladin, shouldn't I be getting Echo when I die? what's the critera for getting echo?
little swift
dying after the fight has lasted long enough lucifer
latent prism
damn i guess i'll hold on to my books for gear instead of augmentation components
little swift
its like 5 minutes for an echo increase iirc
faint flare
However the cast time and cost of fire 3 makes it worse than fire 1, therefore getting fire 3 instant casted and for free is good
distant bane
Its definitely good just confused on what im supposed to do in that little window of all cds
raw solstice
it's a bit of a fundamental thing here, really
so an instant F3 via a firestarter proc, takes up the exact amount of time that a full F1 cast takes
it's just, the proc is frontloaded and then you just wait out the rest of the time
faint flare
Weave swift,sharpcast or any other ogcd you get or move around
raw solstice
instead of having that time just be spent doing a full cast
so if you have something to do during that time or need to move, great, go ahead
if you don't, then you don't, you're just waiting on the GCD
distant bane
right, and should i use it every time i get it proc?
raw solstice
yep, though don't interrupt a cast or delay a cast to use the proc
distant bane
i was waiting till had like 1800 mana f into f3 transpose
raw solstice
not worthwhile
distant bane
fair enough ty

jolly granite
yea but i was wondering im 30lvl a still dont have the access to dungs 20-30
jovial sierra
finished a few quests after prae msq as drg and plan to continue drg, should i bother buying il 120 ironworks gear rn? or should i wait for quest rewards from the rest of the arr msq bceause it looks like it'll give 110 il gear eventually
jovial sierra
are poetics easy enough to farm that i shouldn't worry about saving them for alt gear?
thick bolt
yea
lilac thicket
in the next patch we'll be able to fly in ARR zones right? will we be able to use mounts in the main cities too?
thick bolt
The only time poetics are drained is when doing Relic weapon stuff
Yes to flying, no to main city flying.
jovial sierra
when should i be worrying about relic weapon stuff?
thick bolt
when you want to glam the fuck up
jovial sierra
oh do relic weps look the best generally

If I exchange my gear for augmented versions will the materia be lost
twilit arch
yes
thick bolt
yes

so retrieve materia before augmenting
midnight slate
They shattered
Hmmmm
thick bolt
yeah you have a 40% for highest tier right now to retrieve them
but it's better than 100% losing them
faint flare
Can always meld tier 6 on gear you'll know you'll replace due to t6 having 100% retrieval

I did 5 command missions but my squadrons flagged mission for captain does not show up, what am I missing?
clever cave
They gotta be 5 different ones
next wind
I did 5 different ones yes
faint flare
Are they lv40+
next wind
no
faint flare
Then get to lv40+
next wind
so it needs to be 5 40+?
clever cave
No your squad members
next wind
that's the ones I did
faint flare
Just level the squadron
clever cave
What lvl are your squad bois
next wind
45 to 51
faint flare
Once one is/close to lv40 it shows
next wind
that's weird
nevermind now it's showing
I swear it wasn't
cuz I didn't complete the training xD

Ya prob had to refresh ur room

Question... is there any way to "try on" a glamoured item to see the original appearance without using a dispeller? Only way I can find is to link it to chat, which is clunky.

lime sphinx
Hey i've just gotten to 80, bought full Neo-ish gear but i'm wondering which materia is the best for palladin ?
at a glance i'd say tenacity for pure tanking
lime sphinx
can i take Sks to the max ? i come from WoW and i'm used to go super fast with combos , is it worth it ?
or is crit better overall ?
little swift
having too much SkS will misalign your FoF/Requiescat windows
it also gives you shorter weave windows
faint flare
Paladin wants 2.4-2.42s gcd recast
lime sphinx
ok i'm at 2.41 with full neo ishgardian gear without any materia
leaden ginkgo
I completed my rank 1 hunting log yet it says when i want to ask for promotion in my GC that i need to complete my rank 1 hunting log
lime sphinx
So how much crit ? only need a couple then get dh?
leaden ginkgo
Am i missing something ?
little swift
its your Grand company hunting log not your class hunt log
faint flare
Rank 1 GC. Log
little swift
click the yellow icon
faint flare
As much crit as your gear can hold
little swift
i'd say maybe bump some sks to get to 2.4 so its nice and even
and then dump everything into crit / dh/det
but if you're comfy there its ok
agile laurel
Is there actually no whm guide in kupo bot?
lime sphinx
alrighty so i'll get to 2.4, then spam crit as much as possible then direct hit
thx for the help
obsidian patio
WHM doesn’t really need a guide dedicated to itself. It’s a very straightforward healer
agile laurel
Yeah, I don't need it personally
obsidian patio
The general healing guide works well enough for it
agile laurel
I just need some kind of resource to slap someone who says cure 1 should be used with
faint flare
Cure 1 is lowest priority
faint flare
Bads will be bad
obsidian patio
You tell them that WHM’s Mana efficiency is good enough that Cure 1 stops being worth it.
agile laurel
yeeep
I did
they kept on spamming it
¯_(ツ)_/¯
dohn mheg btw
Unrelated followup - why is it that act logs I upload to FFlogs for dungeons only have parses sometimes?
and no option for parse by bracket?
not strictly a ff question i admit
obsidian patio
I think you may need to increase the timer that tells ACT how long no combat can happen before it splits it into a new parse
agile laurel
Yeah, it just confuses me that I could do something like Anaemsis and it'd parse properly, but Titania or Dohn Mheg wouldn't
might be an intentional thing that only works for max lvl content?
faint flare
Usually only accepts the recent dungeon
agile laurel
yeah, it is
lime sphinx
That means i can't add crit to that, right?
left moth
yeah since that substat is capped out
remote lintel
the memoria misera EX gear is just better, dyeable versions of the class gear right
obsidian patio
Yes. It’s i480 and has 5 materia slots
sleek roost
Only problem is it's job gear so if you're got everything at 80 that becomes an inventory nightmare

hello everyone newbie question i can't create character on xp boosted server how long usualy its take reopen server to character creation? day or less than day or hour ?
static yacht
@maiden walrus try off hours
typically if the server is temporarily closed for character creation it is because too many people are on
if you try @ late night / early morning / during the weekday when people are at work
it'll be more likely to be open
lime sphinx
Whats the bird drop rate rn?
maiden walrus
oh allrite thanks for quick reply @static yacht
is there any other good alternative server for newbies or should i wait for xp boost server? like do u recommend Ragnarok for a fresh blood player like me?

Hi all, I'm a tank main looking to get into a spot of healing. Which healer would be easiest to get into? I'm not looking to main healer, just want to be able to play one in case the need arises
NB: I've tried WHM and not a huge fan
remote lintel
scholar
tribal sapphire
Everyone says the expansion MSQ is much better than base. What makes it different? I’m slogging through the post ARR msq

scholar
@remote lintel Scholar looks fun, I'll give it a go
Everyone says the expansion MSQ is much better than base. What makes it different? I’m slogging through the post ARR msq
@tribal sapphire Post-ARR MSQs are notoriously sluggish, if you manage to get through it you'll probably enjoy the rest of the game a hell of a lot more
remote lintel
post arr gets good at "dreams of ice"
sick zenith
Also classes are more fun at higher levels
wooden laurel
^ definitely
static yacht
@wooden laurel WHM is the basic B healer, simple and consistant, scholar is oGCD king. Astro is if you like high APM
quiet shell
What does the letter next to enemies names mean?
Usually an F or an A in a small box
wooden laurel
I love using OGCDs, so Scholar sounds like a good fit
polar cairn
is regional folklore worth farming for?
wooden laurel
What does the letter next to enemies names mean?
@quiet shell Just to distinguish between different enemies
e.g. "Attack enemy A then C"
static yacht
do note that scholar has a weird peak where their oGCD heal goes from healing half an HP bar to 1/8 of an hp bar
wooden laurel
oof
quiet shell
ohhhhhh that's neat okay I thought it might mean something about their size or something along those lines
static yacht
though @ level 80, scholar is probably the comfiest healer for dungeons
remote lintel
I didn't recommend AST because you asked for an easy healer and AST takes more brain cells
hoary storm
weird peak what you mean?
static yacht
@ 50-60, lustrate can heal half a tank's hp bar bar
once you hit 80, it heals like 1/8
and you have to start using sacred soil, recititation + Excog
in order to heal half a tank's hp bar
hoary storm
ppl just have too much hp now
wooden laurel
I didn't recommend AST because you asked for an easy healer and AST takes more brain cells
@remote lintel Valid, I'm a tank main so my mentality is "ME TAKE AGGRO AND HIT WITH SWORD"
obsidian patio
Healing isn’t scaling as hard as HP in SHB
hoary storm
not when you combo sacred + whisper

unreal aspen
whats the meaning of the different colors on fflogs?
like for dps
is it just in order of who did the most damage
faint flare
Basically a category of ranking based on your percentile. Grey is worst, gold is best
raw solstice
100th percentile = gold
99th percentile = pink
95-98th percentile = orange
75-94th percentile = purple
50th-74th percentile = blue
25-50th percentile = green
sub 25th percentile = gray
unreal aspen
ok thank you!
comparing parses compares it with all recent public logs right?
and then rankings is just out of the people you were partied with
zinc orbitBOT
raw solstice
the rankings are based off of comparison to all uploaded parses for your job for that fight
in the log itself it has a separate metric that compares to only uploads within the past two weeks
but elsewhere it's compared to all parses since the start of the tier
unreal aspen
ty! one last question, how much does the parse matter when i'm progging a fight for the first time?
like if i'm parsing green/blue should I already be worried or should I wait until I'm used to the mechanics to really start looking to identify where im making mistakes
blm is slower
remote lintel
mch has some of the highest apm
unreal aspen
as in having a much easier rotation
remote lintel
because its busy
blm is slower but probably harder
so pick your poison
its attack rely on you staying still
and most of the high lvl bosses require you to move like every 3 seconds
faint flare
No its simple
remote lintel
nah the rotation itself isnt hard
faint flare
But you need to learn the fight to know where to stand
remote lintel
^
the hardest part is that your combos rely on you landing attacks to keep them up
which requires you to stay still for at least a bit

I can't figure out how to meld Materia. I have looked at this guide https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Materia but the NPCs tell me I need to learn something first. I have done all the MSQ quests. Please advise
remote lintel
did you do the materia quest in thanalan
small bay
My understanding is that is only for Crafters lvl 19 and up?
According to the guide I shouldnt need that. "Melding Materia
The easiest way to meld (attach) Materia is to find a Materia Melder (NPC) who will perform the service for a small fee. This method has no level requirement. You can find them near one of the Market Boards in any of the three cities or player housing if the owner has purchased and placed a Materia Melder Permit.
To meld Materia yourself, you will need to complete the Waking the Spirit quest. The quest giver is F'hobhas, located at The Bonfire in Central Thanalan (x:23, y:13). You will need to be level 19 or higher with at least one Disciple of the Hand (crafter) to accept the quest. Once completed, you will unlock the "Materia Melding" action."

There are quests before the ones that require a crafter that everyone can do
Those let you use the NPC melders

they got better
faint flare
Arr dungeons don't have too many access
solemn delta
So how on earth are you supposed to Farm this?
Do I need the 60 blue gear?
Or I'll just keep on leveling and come back....
quartz pivot
Oh okay, thanks 🙂
leaden ginkgo
So whats weekly reset?
obsidian patio
It’s when weekly things reset, like tomestone cap and loot lockouts for current tier raids
warped nest
So how on earth are you supposed to Farm this?
@solemn delta check the node again, then take a screenshot
leaden ginkgo
Im lvl 39 is it anything i should be concerned with yet?
warped nest
You didn't meet the perception requirements
faint flare
No
leaden ginkgo
What lvl should i be concerned with it then?
faint flare
Cap
obsidian patio
Not until level 80, really
leaden ginkgo
Oh ok
warped nest
Right now, weekly reset only affects your challenge logs
leaden ginkgo
👍🏻
warped nest
Challenge log just gives away from weekly bonus
Like bonus exp when you did 3 dungeon

okay, for future reference, clearing my cache did not make additional payment options available, but opening mogstation in an incognito window did work. no idea why, but w/e.
warped nest
Or completed 5 fates
solemn delta
I've bought a new weapon hopefully it's at least 1% now
warped nest
It doesn't work that way
At higher level, gathering nodes have Location Effect
Sometimes they are beneficial, like +30% HQ chance, or +1 yield
faint flare
You need a minimum amount of perception to be even be able to gather HQ stuff
warped nest
Sometimes they gate your HQ chance of you don't meet the perception requirements
That's why I ask you to take a screenshot
warped nest
Yeah
solemn delta
I'm on my way back now
faint flare
You wont get it
warped nest
If you are 799, you are still 0%
warped nest
If you are 800, it will remove the limit, and you will probably jump up to 5%
Probably won't be 1%
solemn delta
Mining is retarded then even with full best gear I can't get 800 lol
I've checked all the gear on MB
warped nest
You have NQ gear
warped nest
NQ gear has neutered stats
warped nest
It is not the issue of ilvl
solemn delta
I'll just leve my way up to 70+ and come back with cheap shitty gear and I'll be over 800 right?
warped nest
Eventually yes
quartz pivot
Last question, how often/what day does the game do maint? I don’t think I’ve ever seen it do that. 😮
faint flare
Whenever they announce it
warped nest
Tuesday if it even happen
faint flare
There's no weekly maints
quartz pivot
Oh, that’s actually nice.

Bam! Lvl 40 while im about to start my lvl 24 main mission

@brittle glade it is your artifact gear, you can't buy it from Marketboard

I’m only doing dungeons/grand company leves/msq right now

Oh i see
warped nest
Do your 
above all else, you have no significant advantage in being over level

GC gear isn't super great

ah shit then how would I get the Myochin set?

I always see DRK melt through the mp at the start of a fight so I assume so lol
faint flare
Rest is spent on EoD for damage
crimson wind
yeah but what if I'm OT
faint flare
Especially under raid buffs
You tbn the mt
To help with busters
And get yourself a free eod
warped nest
A TBN that breaks from soaking too much damage is your best case scenario
warped nest
It is not hard to get back enough MP for EoD to refresh your buff
faint flare
warped nest
(you should be worry about your skill if you can't get MP back for EoD in 60s)
faint flare
Blood weapon, CnS, delirium/Bloodspiller...
crimson wind
so I'm constantly between 0 and 5000 MP?
faint flare
More or less yes
Main optimisation for DRK is knowing when to pool your mana and when to go ham under raid buffs
warped nest
As long as it is not dried up at 0 for too long and not capped at 10000
leaden ginkgo
How do i enter HoH or POTD on solo???
faint flare
While keeping enough to use TBN for busters
crimson wind
you shouldnt
faint flare
Enter via fixed party
leaden ginkgo
I cant find a part for floors 11-20 of HoH
So im just gonna go and solo it till i get to 31
warped nest
Just be very careful when you solo
crimson wind
How long have you been queuing
leaden ginkgo

12m exp for a 65 mining quest puts me up 2 levels onto next quest... Are the crafting quests as crazy as this?

I came back today i havent done this content yet lmao im just trying to get to 70 with the gunbreaker so i can move on with what i have left from SB story and reach shadowbigers
warped nest
Yes DoH/L quests are pretty good exp
faint flare
Dungeons are better
leaden ginkgo
Shadowbigers lol i meant shadowbringers
crimson wind
If you're trying to get to 70 for the love of god please do dungeons
signal garnet
Im getting an error when final fantasy starts up, can anyone help me?
warped nest
Gunbreaker is a tank, they usually have faster dungeon queue
crimson wind
POTD imo is a terrible leveling option for any job
crimson wind
Even if you're a dps, dungeon queues are same ish
warped nest
Potd/Hoh is fine if and only if your roulette and dungeon queue is significantly worse

The error I was having wasnt there

yeah, back in your day

15-20, 20-25 one dungeon each it's brilliant
signal garnet
but I just turned off direct x11. Is there a difference between the two?
remote lintel
yes

dungeons were always the faster option, but it's always been a matter of queue time
crimson wind
HoH I go 61-70 in 3-4 hours
You do know deep dungeons have seperate leveling systems?

Long as i dont have to wait an hour tbh

@solemn delta for sb job quests they made them unique gathering items that you can only gather while you're on the quest, that are untradeable
so it's not in your gathering log
you're supposed to pay attention to the quest text to figure out where to gather, realistically you just google where to get it

Sort of an embarrassing question to ask but I’ll ask it. I’m still super new, just this evening cleared Praetorium on my first character. I installed ACT just to get used to it a while back and on Praetorium and the dungeon before it, castrum whatever, I was parsing (or whatever) super low on DPS... I never find this to be the case when doing roulettes. Am I just ultra bad or is it a matter being way outclassed on gear or what?
faint flare
Outgeared
solemn delta
Don't ever parse on that either pointless
faint flare
Dont bother trying to parse dungeons
solemn delta
And yeah, 70+ are in there
wise portal
Yeah I just am not 100% clear on how syncing works to cap people.
faint flare
Castrum and praetorium have no ilvl sync
wise portal
And I figured parsing this kinda shit was pointless but wanted to go ahead and fool around with ACT just so I’m not totally lost at endgame
slate arrow
Castruum and Praetorium sync to 135
faint flare
So higher people have i135 gwat there
solemn delta
And even with fully Augmented Ironworks gear your not 135
Which your not gonna have on a fresh 50 regardless
wise portal
K that’s reassuring. Thanks y’all.
solemn delta
I wouldn't really bother much with ACT until you are 80 in full crafted gear etc
Just focus on your rotations and you'll do fine

There was a shining mining node on my map there but it was miles away any idea why?
I have no clue about collectables and handing them in and such

Those are timed nodes
solemn delta
I'll need to do some reading tomorrow. I don't even know if I can make any decent money off 80 gatherers might have been better doing a craft
Problem with Road to 70 is you don't have the gil to power level everything

frank anchor
does tenacity reduce both magical damage taken as well as physical damage taken?
frank anchor
oh I see, I wanted to farm the lanner bird mounts as a level 80 paladin and someone in FC mentioned I should stack tenacity on materia if I'm solo farming, but wasn't sure if that was optimal or not, kinda having a rough time :P
faint flare
Fully stacked tenacity is like 8% mitigation...which is literally nothing
It doesn't change how you use defensive cooldowns
Or how you are healed
Tenacity is poor man determination at best
warped nest
Lanner is lvl 60 contents, you have a lvl 80 Paladin
The biggest factor is player skill

does the road to 70 buff disappear on all jobs if one of them reaches 70

No

No
strong trout

Road to 70 is gone only when the server is not longer preferred and your character is older than 90 days
jade quartz
Road to 70 remains until both of these criteria have been fulfilled:
90 days passed from your character creation
World has the preferred status removed.
sudden wolf
Thank you
strong trout
looks like i'll really need to get into it
