What raids do you need?

static yacht
#

party finder

pseudo musk
#

A9S

bleak plume
#

while trying to reset password it asked me for one-time password .. i downloaded the app, and the app asked me for my password which i'm doing all of this for.

onyx kiln
#

for MCH, should i use Reassemble only for Drill?

pseudo musk
#

I have a PF group up, just not getting any bites. šŸ˜›

bleak plume
#

it's like going on a loop.

dense pier
#

I am collecting stuff in the diadem.

For crafting turn-ins, is it better to make low-level high quality stuff or low-level lower quality stuff?

latent bloom
#

High quality will yield more scrips

obsidian patio
#

@bleak plume ignore the one-time password spot if you never used it before

nova umbra
#

so my friend needs to get to a certain rank in his GC to unlock equipment turn ins, but even though he has done his challenge logs and the level 1 GC hunting logs, he's not even close to having enough GC seals to promote 3 times (think he needs 4k, 5k, and then 6k before finally unlocking equipment turn ins). He's also a DPS so he's not getting GC seals from leveling roulette either. What is the best way for him to get these seals? The fates give like 300 seals, but then he'd have to do like 50 fates...

dense pier
#

The scrips you get from turning in there are useless though no?

#

Seems it's only for ugly glams

bleak plume
#

@obsidian patio i did .. and the whole thing didn't go through. the one-time password is required.

onyx kiln
#

@dense pier you can also buy Dye that can't be found elsewhere with the scrips

solar spear
#

hello, would i be able to use other classes in one character on free trial?

faint flare
#

Yes

static yacht
#

@solar spear yes

onyx kiln
#

@solar spear yes

static yacht
#

but not any of the 50 locked jobs / 60 locked jobs / heavensward jobs

latent bloom
#

@dense pier The scrips turn in can be traded on the MB for large amount of Gil. Also, they might still use them for the next round of the restoration

unreal aspen
#

the further you get the less you'll outlevel the main quest most likely

solar spear
#

wow thats cool thanks

unreal aspen
#

2 is good i think

#

i started out the first expac way ahead of the msq in levels

obsidian patio
#

@bleak plume no idea then. :(
You can try contacting support and giving as much info as possible. But if you don’t know your ID at a minimum it’s very unlikely.

dense pier
#

Won't that market be highly contested though? Also, won't it be flooded even?

latent bloom
#

Do you know your email then?

unreal aspen
#

but by the time i hit shadowbringers while leveling 2 classes I had to only use one bc i was already having to do dailies/etc in order to keep up in levels

bleak plume
#

@obsidian patio i actually do know my id .. it's how i got the link for the reset password.

latent bloom
#

@dense pier Oh yes. But if you do it day one and the scrips carry over, you can make mils. Otherwise, the dyes are a good option for glam

bleak plume
#

@latent bloom yes i do

obsidian patio
#

@nova umbra they should have the 2nd set of the hunting log available, or by the next promotion at least. So they’ll just have to tough it out with FATES. If they have a crafter/gatherer leveled up they can do turn-ins for those to get seals

unreal aspen
#

though i think if you're super on top of doing all your daily roulettes/beast tribes/etc you could def get 3 classes to like 70

dusk zenith
#

is there any way to make it so your crafters share the same hotbar?

#

without manually having to do it for every single one

latent bloom
#

@bleak plume In that case, sending an email to tech support is your best best. Providing things such as the email connect to the account and various other things which you would only know would go a long way of proving you are the account holder. IDK what the offical TOS is, but that makes the most sense from the customer service perspective (which is my job IRL)

obsidian patio
#

You can use macros to copy the bars to other crafters

dusk zenith
#

how do you use a macro to copy hotbars?

faint flare
#

Iirc /hotbar copy wvr 1 bsm 1

bleak plume
#

@latent bloom you got a link for the contact page ? their website is filled so many links that i'm confused which one it is. btw, the last time i played the game when it first came out, not the new make-over of the game.

faint flare
#

Change the wvr and bsm to the jobs you wanna copu from/to

dusk zenith
#

thanks!

latent bloom
#

If i can find one, ill send it privately since links pubilicly is a BIG NO NO

bleak plume
#

i'll send you pic privately to show you what it shows me.

remote lintel
#

how many wolf marks do you get for the pvp matches

onyx kiln
#

depends on what spot your team gets

slate arrow
#

500 loss, 1000 win

remote lintel
#

for any more?

#

mode

slate arrow
#

1000 for daily challenge bonus

twilit arch
#

1k for 1st, 750 for 2nd, 500 for 3rd for frontlines

remote lintel
#

so besides frontlines it's always 1000 for win

slate arrow
#

Speaking of PvP Rival Wings is a fun time

#

You get irregular tomestones as well

how much do stats like direct hit matter if I'm not planning to do savage raids?

Ilvl matters more

Theyre called substats for reasons

obsidian patio
#

Check for items that have a ā€œShop Selling Priceā€ listed. If they have one that means it can be bought from a vendor somewhere

worldly quail
#

So for the level skip potion, does it just take me to 70 but leave me at the beginning of the game? So I'd have to buy the story skip if I wanted to start at, say Stormblood

remote lintel
#

yes

obsidian patio
#

Yes.

dense pier
#

How does Alchemy compare to Culinary whne it comes to buffing?

worldly quail
#

I see, thanks

slate arrow
#

ALC is a short term main stat buff

#

CUL is a longer term spread of stats but smaller overall

dense pier
#

and also provides things like spiritbond, GP recovery, durability

#

ALC

slate arrow
#

Spiritbond isn't tied to anything

#

GP recovery is tied to quest completion

dense pier
#

Culinary gives spiritbond buff?

slate arrow
#

durability isn't tied to anything unless you're overrepairing

#

no

faint flare
#

Talking about the potions

#

Spiritbond pots

#

And stuff

#

They're not really important

latent bloom
#

Not unless you are farming specific Materia

#

Diadem + Spiritbond potion = gatherer Materia for days

dense pier
#

is the +spiritbond really not that noticeable?

latent bloom
#

The +6 is noticably if you are constanting doing whatever you are (Like gathering for example)

#

But if you are going about it casually, the normal is preferred.

dense pier
#

How do I know if I'm gainging spiritbond?

#

Cause sometimes I don't gain spiritbond% if something is too low

#

at least, for combat

latent bloom
#

You usually wanna gather at or near lvl for the best results. You would have to hover over the icon after the activity you are doing to see if it moves

dense pier
#

kk

lusty osprey
#

Hello, i have a question, i come finished main quest but i would like make a job and i don't know if the fish sell ? or it's just for relaxation ^^ thanks for your answers !

latent bloom
#

It'll say at the bottom the number percentage (At least in the NA server).

next wind
#

fishing is not the best for making gil

latent bloom
#

^

next wind
#

you can still make some profit, but for example a miner would be way more profitable

latent bloom
#

It CAN make gil if you are going after specific fish, but the job is the worst of the 3 since it's only real use is for culinarian.

dense pier
#

Isn't it also used for alchemy?

#

which makes stuff that is needed for evreything else?

latent bloom
#

Most Alchemic don't both with those, but yes.

#

Alchemic goes into everything, hence a very profitable job.

#

That, and leatherworker.

dense pier
#

I hard-leveled GSM so I can strengthen my crafting and gathering in HW...

#

Then find out they made GSM dogcrap in HW by making it just all combat accessories

lusty osprey
#

Hum okay then alchemist,leatherwork and miner it's good for making gils ^^

clever cave
#

you want all your crafters leveled

dense pier
#

^

latent bloom
#

Depends on the server, but those 3 are a good start. having all of them leveled gives you the most options.

vagrant copper
#

Is there any reason not to use the fishing action "Snagging"? Doesn't seem to have a drawback

latent bloom
#

Now or a question of my own. I'm leveling SCH on an ALT right before hitting Heavensward and compared to my WHM on my main, I feel very weak overall. Does the job get better as you progress, or does it feel like you are spending too much to gain too little?

#

Lemma check that for you Corska

slate arrow
#

SCH always needs more effort for HP healing

latent bloom
#

IK it's a preventative class, rather than reactive, but this seems a bit much.

little swift
#

that's not to say you don't have reactivity in your kit

slate arrow
#

yeah no you only get more buttons you have to press to HP heal

little swift
#

you can play both ways on all the healers

#

since damage is scripted

#

you'll know what to hit when you need to as you play

slate arrow
#

dungeon healing on SCH can get frustrating if you don't learn how to heal effectively

latent bloom
#

Or manage MP

slate arrow
#

since you have a ton of cooldowns you need to juggle

#

Dissipation, excog, aetherflow, fey wind

little swift
#

you have lots of mp control though, through aetherflow and lucid

#

your ogcd heals are what you should be using most anyways

latent bloom
#

@vagrant copper No, you just put it on and let 'er rip. UNless you are hunting a specific fish, you generally wanna have it on.

#

So the class gets stronger as time progresses, you would say?

slate arrow
#

definitely

#

if you can get used to managing cooldowns

faint flare
#

Excog makes your life 1100x easier

slate arrow
#

I've played SCH all the way to 80 and it's probably the only job I feel 60% competent in

#

it's just so hard to remember all the buttons you have

latent bloom
#

And since i don't have most of those abilities quite yet, i wager it will only get better with time then. Good. Thanks guys, i needed to know if I was wasting my time with it or not.

#

okay, wasting isnt the word i would use. more.... panicking nonstop is the word i would use.

sick zenith
#

What can I do with poetics after full IW

Trade them for unidentifiable stuff is a surefire thing. Trade those in for soils and good gil, or gardening.

#

The shell is what i get for gardening, and people eat that up on our server.

!faq poetics

remote lintel
#

do you ever really use undraw

#

on ast

faint flare
#

No

#

Delete undraw

remote lintel
#

ok

#

can you basically replace it with minor arcana

faint flare
#

I mean i guess

#

Not like you would ever use undraw

remote lintel
#

like to get rid of a card

faint flare
#

Why would you

#

Just play it to buff people

#

Opposed to not buffing people

remote lintel
#

like if you already have that seal

faint flare
#

Then you minor arcana or redraw

remote lintel
#

yeah that's what I thought

spring oasis
#

I hit goldsmith 55, and realized the grind is real if I dotn wanna spend gil

shoudl I lvl my miner up now?

yes

#

Where do I check my sky builders score?

slate arrow
#

far left of the firmament

unreal aspen
#

is there a place where people tend to farm fates in the shb zones

#

or is my best bet just wandering around until i find other people doing them?

#

i would party finder it but since im trying to pass time in dps queue i cant join people

#

*people's parties

#

which class?

#

yeah diff classes have different role abilities

remote lintel
#

only melee dps

unreal aspen
#

LOL

remote lintel
#

whenever I switch to tank I worry if I'm hitting my positionals

#

then I facepalm

steep lotus
#

Can I still earn the rewards for the sky builders achievements? For some reason I have the score but I can’t get the minion

slate arrow
#

which one?

steep lotus
#

The Malone minion

slate arrow
#

The only one you can get currently are the cumulative score ones

steep lotus
#

Ah ok thanks

charred hatch
#

Is there a way of finding HQ images of the triple triad cards?

slate arrow
#

no they come as is

dapper willow
#

New player, might even a really dumb question. Is there a way to compare two items together vs one item? Specifically I’m regards to helms + chest vs hooded robes.

raven sage
#

You would have to look at those individually and do the math

remote lintel
#

you don't really use the 2 in 1 armor after like

#

lvl 35 or something

raven sage
#

The darklight should technically be the last usage of them

#

But yeah it's not so abundant that you should worry too much about wearing them

dapper willow
#

Oh so I’ll just outgrow them soon

#

Cool.

#

Thanks!

vagrant scaffold

How can I find out what my ping is?

Q: How do i check my ping to the servers?
Info
  1. Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
  2. Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
  3. Press enter
    PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
vagrant scaffold
#

ty

#

What is a good or average ping?

wintry chasm
#

Ehhh

#

You really really don't want to be above 200

#

Generally being over 100 is okay

vagrant scaffold
#

Awesome thanks

slate arrow
#

100 is the average, 200 you might clip a little, 300 is when you should look into latency reduction VPNs

wintry chasm
#

That sounds way too generous tbh

#

I think I hit 230 on NA servers and stuff like Navel makes me want to die because of lag

vagrant scaffold
#

SO what you're saying is that if I'm under 100 I ahve no excuse for getting hit by AoEs, yeah?

faint flare
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

Well

#

Context

#

But generally yeah your fault

lime sphinx
#

So while i'm leveling alchemist rn, what's usually worth crafting at lvl 80 ?

#

what type of potions ?

faint flare
#

Tincures of Main stat

wintry chasm
#

Whatever one sells the most

lime sphinx
#

alrighty

#

Anything worth in the master recipes ?

faint flare
#

The tincuree

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Said potions

lime sphinx
#

ah wait theres more tinctures in master recipes ?

wintry chasm
#

Among other things

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Grade 2 and 3s

lime sphinx
#

kk thx

#

i'll have done 47-80 alch in under 24 hours without road to 70 lol

uncut girder
#

Is it still up to date to make zodiac light farm in low dungeons?

#

Or are there better variations, like Anima?

lime sphinx
#

To aether reduce things, does it need to be a collectible ?

vagrant copper
#

I think so? Note that there's also a limited number of things that can be reduced. You get them from ephemeral gathering nodes that only show up at certain times in certain places. Note also that those are ddifferent than the unspoiled nodes and you'll have no way of knowing when or where.

warped nest
#

That's incorrect

#

You can track empheral nodes

vagrant copper
#

Oh?

twilit arch
#

tam tara or ifrit normal are generally the recommended ones to do. tam tara if you don't have good loading times, ifrit if you do @uncut girder

frank anchor
#

what's the best way to grind Allagan Tomestone of Poetics? I need like 4500 for the anima weapon quest (old one).

lunar kernel
#

Guys, a friend of mine after 2 years is coming back to play.

#

We know his character name, but not the Mogstation ID.

warped nest
#

The only difference between unspoiled and empheral is empheral will respawn within their active window

lunar kernel
#

There is any way to retrieve that?

lime sphinx
#

And how do we track ephemereal ?

warped nest
#

So if an empheral node is active between say 2pm to 4pm (just example) Eorzea time

#

Open gathering log

#

Use a online website (Garland tool bell)

latent bloom
#

iu can provide you a website to track it, if you like

#

That too

lime sphinx
#

Yea i'm seeing that on garland

vagrant copper
#

Using an online website counts as no way to track it -_-

lime sphinx
#

i use it alot for quests/items

#

well i count it as tracking lol

warped nest
#

Gathering log has it

#

Once you got it once, gathering log will show the active time for empheral node

lime sphinx
#

ohh alrighjt

warped nest
#

In regards to location, it always spawn on the exact same spot, I dunno how you get the idea that "we don't know where it spawn"

lime sphinx
warped nest
#

The only difference between unspoiled and empheral is empheral will respawn within their active window
Going back to this, within their active window, you can make empheral node appear again by interacting with nearby normal gathering node

lime sphinx
#

i wasnt wondering where it spawned, was just wondering about the timers cause i didnt see them on the gathering log

#

ok so thats why normal 80 stuff isnt worth much , people spamming for ephe

warped nest
#

That's not exactly why

vagrant copper
#

I just have a different definition I guess. If the only way to learn something in game, by yourself, is to stand there for 24 hours in game time, it's not exactly knowable. šŸ¤·ā€ā™‚ļø

autumn mountain
#

Anyone know why "Up in Arms" for the 2.X relic wouldn't be showing up for me? I have my Zenith equipped.

raven sage
#

Have you done it once before?

autumn mountain
#

Yes.

raven sage
#

Then it won't appear again

#

Just go farm

#

Oh!

#

Okay, gotcha.

cold crescent
#

is there a way to check my status effects on ps4?

#

like buffs debuffs etc

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Look at your debuff bar

cold crescent
#

i see the icons

faint flare
#

If there is any, you can press the touch pad

cold crescent
#

just curious how i can check what they do

faint flare
#

To cycle over to it

#

Or use the touch pad to drag the cursor to it

warped nest
#

Swipe with Touch pad and move your virtual cursor to it

primal relic
#

When you create your char can you edit their body? Or did I just skip it entirely.

warped nest
#

You have skipped it

faint flare
#

You can edit

#

Oh I thought there was more

nah this ain't something like PSO2

Yeah it doesn't go that far into details

polar cairn
#

do i have to learn fishing to grind the namazu beast tribe

warped nest

No

#

You can be botanist or miner

Namazu is also DoH

#

Thnks I saw other char and thought I had skip. Guess that’s just their naturally look.

warped nest
#

Armors also helps in changing the perception of their body shape

so what's the best way to farm them? I need like 4500

warped nest
#

Daily Roulette

#

Then you do... I believe the best is still Aetherochemical?

obsidian patio
#

Either Aetherochemical, Ghimlyt Dark, or Baelsar’s Wall depending on queue times

nova umbra
#

when do you unlock poetics? My friend is 50 and he still only sees the common tab in the currency menu

twilit arch
#

you need to complete castrum/praetorium to unlock poetics

warped nest
#

For future reference, in most cases, when we said "you unlock this at lvl X" the level refers to your msq level

Actually, i did an L50 A-rank with someone that still needed to do Prae and she got poetics.

Hey iam Looking for some Help iam doing Zodiark Light Farming as WHM and Looking for some ppl for Help :)

little swift
#

whats your question

leaden ginkgo
#

LMAO

little swift
#

hey is getting 60 fps on ff14 more than enough is this a game that needs alot of fps
@quiet magnet 60fps is fine and playable, though it may dip to 40ish during busy areas

#

this game is more CPU intensive than graphics intensive

quiet magnet
#

ya this game only drops frame if its like in the background it needs to be fullscreen to get the 60

little swift
#

if you're ever concerned about how your cpu would perform

#

you can download the benchmark

quiet magnet
#

benchmark?

little swift
#

there's a shadowbringers benchmark

#

that kinda stress tests your computer and gives you a rating based on how it does

ember kettle
#

In-game question. Is there a good way to make gil with a crafter that's not at level cap? WVR to be specific.

little swift
#

you can peek into the market board and see what materials are used to make other things

#

or some low level glamours

quiet magnet
#

well seems to be running fine anyways so no prob honestly this runs better than minecraft which is really bizzare and yes i dont have like a pirated copy

jade quartz
#

Minecraft can be very cpu-intensive

frank chasm
#

Can I do squadron command missions before I reach stormblood?

clever cave
#

Yes you should be able to

frank chasm
#

When do I unlock them?

woven token
#

@ember kettle little late but, I have mixed success with crafter/gatherer levelling gear on certain levels. Most people will pay quite a bit to be able to just mindless craft their leves/scrip turn ins.

little swift
#

2nd lieutenant

frank chasm
#

I’m already second lieutenant

little swift
#

see if you can access your barracks at the back of your GC HQ

frank chasm
#

I mean the missions that let me go into the dungeon with the squadron

clever cave
#

Command missions

little swift
#

after the first flagged mission
iirc

frank chasm
#

Flagged mission?

jade quartz
#

You must level your squadron up through the ranks.

woven token
#

You need squadron rank 2 so needs a little progress on the normal stuff first

little swift
#

once your squadron is high enough rank you unlock a "rank up" mission

#

and completion of it ranks your squadron up

jade quartz
#

The first one of these, which you need for command missions, is marked level 20

#

Although you will probably need to level your people up a little further than that in order to meet the stats for it

primal relic
#

If and when I hit lvl 44, is there any point to keep lvling starter class?

#

I assume you lvl class for traits that carry over? Unless I’m wrong in assuming.

little swift
#

you can get your job if you've moved far enough through the class quests/and msq

#

your job is just an upgrade to the class

woven token
#

Class levels with the job. No reason not to use your job crystal

primal relic
#

Uh...

#

So does mean if I’m a conjurer and I adv white mage, I lose conjurer?

slate arrow
#

Once you get a job there is no reason to ever be using a class

vagrant scaffold
#

You get a job crystal. There is no reason not to sue it. WHen it's equipped you are white mage and when it's not you'll be conj

woven token
#

White mage is better than conjurer in every way, but no, it isn't lost they just level together.

little swift
#

you should definitely equip a job crystal, unless you're playing with friends and intentionally decide to play without them for fun

So wha exactly do a job crystal do?

woven token
#

Its essentially equipping the job. Some actions require the job rather than just the class.

clever cave
#

In limsa hawkers ally

little swift
#

hall of the novice

primal relic
#

And I cross class like conj+ninja crystal?

slate arrow
#

no

#

jobs only work with a specific class

little swift
#

cross classing isn't a thing

#

anymore

slate arrow
#

there used to be cross job actions but those were infinitely more frustrating for the developers and players back in Heavensward and a realm reborn

#

so now you can just play one job up to 80 and have access to 100% of the combat content

primal relic
#

I didn’t even know that was a thing lol

slate arrow
#

!action swiftcast

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Swiftcast** : lvl 18 CNJ THM ACN WHM BLM SMN SCH AST RDM BLU (60.0 second cooldown)

Next spell is cast immediately.
Duration: 10s

little swift
#

is there a place i can buy decent level 15 armor for a arcanist. im leveling up a 3rd class to soak exp but i have no gear because i did all the side quests on my other 2 plate wearing classes
@ancient rain talk to the smith if you haven't already and complete a Hall of the Novice questline for gear

vagrant scaffold
#

It was painful (for me) to level up BLM just to get Swiftcast for WHM res

woven token
#

They moved all/most of them into role actions. Much easier to deal with since your selection is your selection, no ifs ands or buts

primal relic
#

So when I get a crystal does it unlock new skills as i lvl up pass 43+

woven token
#

Novice also has an exp boost item, highly recommended

slate arrow
#

you unlock your first skill with the job quest

little swift
#

also do your class quests for weapons/skills

primal relic
#

And I’ll still have access to all the older Skill right?

slate arrow
#

!action precense of mind

vagrant scaffold
#

So how are the dps wait times for duties? I remember them being abysmal (i've only played WHM since coming back)

#

@primal relic yes

lime sphinx
#

If i cancel a craft, do i lose the mats ?

woven token
#

Yes, unless they get replaced by better versions

slate arrow
#

10-15 minutes average wait during peak

#

@lime sphinx if you're beyond step 1 yes

little swift
#

you pass by a smith on your way to the first dungeon

slate arrow
#

@primal relic Of course

little swift
#

they force youto enter the smith hq

slate arrow
#

why would becoming a job remove your class skills

vagrant scaffold
#

@primal relic it's probably better to just get there and see what it's like. You won't lose anything so no need to stress!

woven token
#

@primal relic good example is summoner. Still has access to the Arcanist physick even though it's the most useless thing.

primal relic
#

Alright thanks guys for answer my questions! Iono

#

I have no basic knowledge of the game so just asking.

woven token
#

We all started there. 14 is confusing compared to other mmos with the jobs.

little swift
#

you can repeat it as you need

#

there are 4 sets of gear for you @ancient rain

#

they're basically mini how to play your role tutorials

#

if you repeat them you can get the gear again should you have thrown them out

primal relic
#

Physicks becomes useless? It feels really good. Unless you get a healing pet or something.

spring oasis
#

@woven token I will disagree with jobs being confusing

primal relic
#

Or mob dish out more dos than you can heal

spring oasis
#

although after looking at pvp

#

why cant they just combine moves so I got more buttons

#

smh

woven token
#

@spring oasis compared to other mmos and only because they're basic here. People assume more customization that isn't there.

little swift
#

physick isn't useful as a smn since it only scales with mind, a stat that smn can't use

#

and really only sorta ok for early level sch

#

otherwise you get way better more powerful healing abilities

woven token
#

For summoner is more that we stop scaling the stat that boosts it

#

So at level 80 you're healing... 800?

#

Only use I've found for it is PoTD and Heaven on high for solo runs to deal with pox.

primal relic
#

Yeah I would assume so, unless as you progress from arcanist to smn they decide to make it more dps and remove heal skill and give you more dps skills or something

woven token
#

Arcanist splits 2 ways. Summoner for a dps class, scholar for a healer

little swift
#

and tehy still level simultaneously

#

so by the time you hit 80 you'll have 2 jobs at 80

#

provided you do the relevant job/class quests

primal relic
#

Oh wow that’s helpful

woven token
#

That's why it was important to point out the class gets the exp, not the job :p

primal relic
#

No need to lvl both separately. I thought only crystal you have equipped will gain xp toward that class

#

Job*

woven token
#

Although it's mostly moot. Smn and sch are the only two like that.

primal relic
#

Oh that’s a downer. Was hoping there were others like that.

woven token
#

Both very fun jobs though, so a nice bonus.

little swift
#

they realized it didn't work fantastically

lime sphinx
#

huhhhhh howTF do you craft 4500 expert things for ishgard ?????

#

i made a 1722...

warped nest
#

It is a grind

faint flare
#

Use the special procs

#

To your advantage

lime sphinx
#

yea u can't macro it lol

faint flare
#

It requires knowledge on how to craft and make use of the procs effectively

little swift
#

you can macro it, provided you hit the correct stat thresholds

lime sphinx
#

ah shit i've actually gotta think KEKW

primal relic
#

Also do side quest unlock as I progress thru MSQ? I complete all the earlier quest since I like to leave MSQ last and notice as I progress more quest seem to pop up.

warped nest
#

Yeah, if I may add more on SCH/SMN, SCH in ShB gets almost all of their actions from the job, not the class.

faint flare
#

And as much stats as you can get

lime sphinx
#

i have full hq facet and VI materia with hq food

#

most i can get is VIII and penta meld

vagrant copper
#

@primal relic Yes

woven token
#

@primal relic side quests are skipped by most unless it has an unlock with it. They're mostly there for filler. Even when you get to the point you want to level 2nd and 3rd jobs, there's better ways.

little swift
warped nest
#

Side quests opens up whenever you hit a milestone in your MSQ, this include meeting a new important NPC, resolve local conflict, clearing dungeons etc etc

lime sphinx
#

this channel is blank @little swift

#

ah got it

#

had to get the role

little swift
#

assign yourself the #dol-dol role

primal relic
#

Oh well that sucks, I’ll probably still do sides though.

#

Gives me more stuff to do while I’m stuck at home.

warped nest
#

sidequest are fine, just know that they are for fun/lore and don't give good exp

woven token
#

Occasionally they have some gear which you can use or sell. They get old fast though, and if you're trying to catch up, they aren't great for it

queen cove
#

Is it bad to have both a SAM and Monk in the same static?

primal relic
#

So generally what’s the best way to lvl w/ friends?

queen cove
#

Trying to start one with my friends and deciding who should go what, but two people main both

warped nest
#

As long as they are skilled....

primal relic
#

We’ve been doing side quest co-op. But when I play alone I just do fate/msq/ sides in my region

celest harbor
#

is that the best way to level buy strictly the msq? or should i be doing somethign with the msq?

warped nest
#

So generally what’s the best way to lvl w/ friends?
@primal relic if you meant being efficient, then one of you should play tank or healer

woven token
#

MSQ is the main focus until you catch up, after a billion reworks it keeps you pretty much level appropriate or higher.

lime sphinx
#

Wait this guy gets 5k collect with 2500 control and i get 1700 with 2.2k ?

#

gap is enormous

primal relic
#

But I thought msq was solo?

warped nest
#

You can move as a group while doing MSQ

primal relic
#

?

warped nest
#

But MSQ cutscene will not acknowledge your group, it will be just you

woven token
#

After MSQ, roulette, palace of the dead, heaven on high, fates

warped nest
#

Alternative Exp sources

  • daily roulette: msq, leveling, Alliance roulette are best for exp, raid/trial is fine for exp, but not as good
  • highest level dungeon: but not lvl 50/60/70
  • potd/hoh (up to lvl 70), but this is only good if roulette and dungeon have significantly worse queue time

Supplement exp:

  • weekly challenge log
  • fate
  • daily beast tribe
  • daily hunt bill
woven token
#

I do potd/hoh AFTER roulette bonus exp is done for the day.

primal relic
#

Iono wha half of those are. But I’m guessing I’ll find out as I progress and lvl up more xD

woven token
#

Mostly why I say to focus MSQ. A lot of the quality of life stuff needs you to advance to open them

primal relic
#

But I’m playing healer and he’s playing lancer/archer

warped nest
#

Then you guys should be fine

#

Just do msq and queue dungeon together

celest harbor
#

im playing healer alone, cuz i don't know people that play this game. RIP wait can i even level as a white mage?

#

is that a thing?

warped nest
#

You can

#

Healer and tank can deal substantial damage too

vagrant scaffold
#

CNJ/WHM does pretty decent damage

warped nest
#

Your first spell as conjurer is actually a damage spell

crimson crystal
#

Holy op

warped nest
#

!action stone

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Stone** : lvl 1 CNJ WHM (400 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)

Deals earth damage with a potency of 140.

crimson crystal
#

!action holy

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Holy** : lvl 45 WHM (600 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)

Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 140 to all nearby enemies.
Additional Effect: Stun
Duration: 4s

woven token
#

Oh, some supplement information... normally you're just doing a roulette once per day, but as a healer or tank you get a most needed bonus sometimes, comes with additional gil and exp. Can be worth it to just keep queuing, sucks for your dps jobs though

warped nest
#

Btw, don't worry about earth damage, that's just flavor text

empty parrot
#

How many Thavnairian onions do you need for your chocobo?

warped nest
#

You don't deal extra damage if you use stone on bird or insect enemy

primal relic
#

Can you duo dungeon? Also should I be selling my items I gain from mob? Or are they useful for something? I haven’t been selling them.

jade quartz
#

It isn’t worth it to keep queueing roulettes for adventures in need @woven token

crimson crystal
#

@primal relic They are often used for crafting. So keep if you want to craft, otherwise sell on Market Board

primal relic
#

Like PokƩmon?

warped nest
#

You can duo dungeon only if you massively outlevel them

jade quartz
#

Adventurer in need exp is laughably tiny.

#

You will queue up for dungeons and be matched with two other people for a party of four as usual.

woven token
#

If you've got nothing else you'd rather be doing, it's not the worst.

warped nest
#

Elemental in this game (aside from certain content) doesn't works like PokƩmon

obsidian patio
#

If an item has a ā€œShop Selling Priceā€ listed then that means you can buy it from a vendor somewhere.

wanton crow
#

anyone know any good ways to level up quickly, just 2 levels away from 50 and struggling to level up

obsidian patio
#

Which usually means it’s dirt cheap for crafting materials

jade quartz
#

@woven token running regular dungeons is much better.

warped nest
#

Black Mage Fire spell don't deal less damage on water enemy, the fire is just flavor in the context of damage calculation

primal relic
#

Well these are like drops from lvl1-20 mobs

jade quartz
#

Adventurer in need bonus exp kind of is the worst actually.

warped nest
#

anyone know any good ways to level up quickly, just 2 levels away from 50 and struggling to level up
@wanton crow is it your main job or?

obsidian patio
#

Then they’re probably worthless

primal relic
#

Ok Ty

woven token
#

@primal relic you can also sell dungeon gear for grand company seals eventually. Good source of them. Later on, desynth can be nice on some level tiers.

obsidian patio
#

Still worth selling to an NPC vendor for a bit of Gil

woven token
#

And way later, doman restoration

warped nest
#

Don't do roulette for just Adventurer in Need

primal relic
#

Oooh I’ll hold onto dungeon gear then

wanton crow
#

@warped nest yeah it's my main job, I can't go further in the story until I hit a higher level

silver ruin
#

potd

warped nest
#

Do your roulette

wanton crow
#

I tried POTD but I can't find a good team to complete floors 41-50

#

I did the duty roulette already

silver ruin
#

wym good team

#

just wait till queue pops

jade quartz
#

You just queue up

warped nest
#

Aurum Vale or FATEs then

finite ferry
#

the roulette bonus for tanks and healers falls off. getting only 16k exp at level 50 means nothing especially if it’s way lower level. i think

wanton crow
#

Like people don't know how to do the boss at the end and die immediately or we keep dying before we even geet to the boss

clever cave
#

it happens

warped nest
#

If you are doing guildhest roulette, then exp is gonna be crap

#

Best exp roulette are your alliance, leveling, and msq. Then followed by raid/trial

wanton crow
#

I am queing but it just isn't working btw

jade quartz
#

Leveling, Main Scenario and Alliance roulettes are good for exp

#

And PvP daily challenge

wanton crow
#

what is aurum vale?

woven token
#

I'll be honest, I haven't looked at the adventure in need since stormblood, it used to be decent supplemental gil though. @jade quartz

jade quartz
#

You just have to wait.

finite ferry
#

aurum vale is level 47 dungeon

warped nest
#

It is a optional lvl 47 dungeon

wanton crow
#

ohhh okay

#

I might try that

warped nest
#

A small handful of dungeons are not tied to msq

#

Just a heads up, Aurum Vale is quite mechanical heavy

#

Good luck and have fun

finite ferry
#

it is popular atm due to the moogle event giving currency to buy limited/grindy items

woven token
#

"Popular"

#

Everyone hates vale

wanton crow
#

lol

woven token
#

It's running more often though, yeah

tranquil valve
#

No one hates Vale, they hate running it with sprouts who aren't used to doing mechanics yet.

#

The dungeon itself is decent.

warped nest
#

@wanton crow check your weekly challenge log to see if you can snatch any easy exp

#

For example, doing 5 fates

wanton crow
#

ohh yeah good point

finite ferry
#

aurum can be mastered, i netflix while i aurum as a tank, passes time

wanton crow
#

I haven't checked that either

silver ruin
#

how long does an aurum run take anyway

warped nest
#

That's all I can think of for now, good luck and have fun.

wanton crow
#

thx for the help, I'm about go try those

warped nest
#

No mistake, around 15-20

woven token
#

I don't have issues with it personally. But the groans on loading speaks for itself

silver ruin
#

ah ok

warped nest
#

If you know how to skip certain adds, low 10

silver ruin
#

ishgard restortion

woven token
#

Scrips is what I did. Especially if you still need the books.

warped nest
#

DoH: do low level recipes with material bought from guild NPC up to lvl 15 ish, then grind Ishgard Restoration (unlocked from story progression into Heavensward)

silver ruin
#

dol diadem/leves maybe?

#

or collectables

warped nest
#

Leves are still fine for DoH/DoL, but Leve has quota

silver ruin
#

i meanfor dol

warped nest
#

Ishgard Restoration and Diadem doesn't have quota

#

So if you want to grind hard over the weekend, Ishgard Restoration / Diadem is a better choice

woven token
#

I keep an eye on the scrip turn ins, occasionally you'll get a 2 or 3 item craft with the bonus, or with really cheap materials. Exp goes crazy fast and you can replace gear with the scrip gear as you go.

It's just reshade really

warped nest
#

Some won't impact gameplay as long as you can tolerate slightly slower frame rate

#

Some are only good for taking pretty pics

jade quartz
#

and using various presets

#

for reshade.

sturdy mason
#

When I'm in Eden savage raids, my co-healer runs a macro to tell me who she is ressing. But I personally find that really ineffective in communicating who is being ressed. Not sure if this is a chat positioning issue or what. I normally am not looking at my chat window during raids. Can someone suggest a method to better keep track of this?

Another issue is that my DRK tank often runs a macro for Living Dead, otherwise I don't benediction him soon enough and he dies. The macros are pretty essential.

#

I get memed for asking people to call it out

#

Been months and they don't do it

faint flare
#

There isnt really voice comms in game

silver ruin
#

most higher end raids use discord though

#

esp if its a static

sturdy mason
#

The feedback I got is that "there's no time for res/living dead call outs because we're calling out mechanics"

faint flare
#

Any voice comms is via discord and only really statics use those

static yacht
#

literally just say

faint flare
#

Ask them to put a sound effect in it

silver ruin
#

might just have to positionyour chat back if you're pugging

static yacht
#

"I'll be primary rez you be secondary rez"

silver ruin

faint flare
#

Or something

static yacht
#

"i rez from bottom to top, you rez top to bottom"

sturdy mason
#

Nah this is an actual static

static yacht
#

that way the only thing you have to say is "swift cast down"

silver ruin
#

well then its a co healer issue then

static yacht
#

like

silver ruin
#

if they arent willing to call it out then position your chat better

faint flare
#

Put sound effect in the macro or do what takku said, have like a res order

#

Or communicate better

static yacht
#

how have you been doing other mechanics

#

like E2S

#

where healers need to heal

#

or TEA where you need to esuna

#

a specific order

faint flare
#

Only need something like "no swift"

static yacht
#

just have esuna order = rez order

faint flare
#

In comms

#

Or "getting X"

#

Something quick and snappy

To keep the air clear.for the shot caller

Do I need to do the jopb quests for botanist? Or can I just powerlevel through leves

jade quartz
#

Do your job quests.

static yacht
#

I mean that depends

#

If you want you can technically pwoerlevel to 80 and then go back and do them but make sure you know that you will be missing out on skills

Like the ability to see node bonuses and extra gp regen

ughhh

honestly, if you just do the level to 80 method you probably save a lot more time

You get bonus xp when levelling a job provided they're under your highest level job so

Technically, BLM doesn't start until 30. It's THM before then.

MCH imo feels like the easiest to pick up.

rough lance
#

tank materia is not tenacity?

static yacht
#

the reason why you don't use tenacity for tanks is that it's not worth the mittigation

slate arrow
#

tenacity is the worst at increacing damage but the best if you're looking for both damage and tankinessb

#

but it's about the difference of one to two hits

#

so like you might as well stack crit to kill the boss faster

rough lance
#

so tank uses which stat?

slate arrow
#

vitality and strength

rough lance
#

i mean.. which materia sry

slate arrow
#

if you're asking about substats, it's Skill Speed to Tier > Crit > dhit or Determination (WAR only)

rough lance
#

how abt paladin or gunbreakers

#

crit?

slate arrow
#

what I just said applies to all tanks except for WAR

#

WAR skips on direct hit due to the nature of how their kit works

rough lance
#

i read it as tier > crit... tier?

slate arrow
#

substats have tiers where they take effect

rough lance
#

oh tiers... i tot there's a substats called tier

hi!!!, i need help from veteran healers... im staring my fist healer job as white mage, im level 33... i know that spamming cure is not optimal, but im doing dungeons and most of the time (specially in big pulls) it seems to be the only way to keep the tank alive... is that the correct way to play? am i missing something?

slate arrow
#

at lower levels cure spam is fine

jade quartz
#

!action regen

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Regen** : lvl 35 WHM (500 MP) (2.5 second cooldown)

Grants healing over time effect to target.
Cure Potency: 200
Duration: 18s

lavish vortex
#

i dont have it yet

jade quartz
#

yes you'll need to throw some cures

#

but you will unlock more and more alternatives which are better than that.

lavish vortex
#

so for now its fine, ok hehe

slate arrow
#

cure spam is fine if the tank is pulling wall to wall

#

we just say use cure2 at higher levels because it's just more efficient later on

lavish vortex
#

the tank even died in many occasions that cure 2 just wont be quick enough

#

is that my fault?, i dont see alternatives though

slate arrow
#

did the tank use cooldowns

#

did the tank pace out their cooldowns

lavish vortex
#

and when they die there's not enough MP to revive

slate arrow
#

is the tank actually wearing gear

lavish vortex
#

hahaha im not sure

jade quartz
#

are you actually wearing gear

obsidian patio
#

Make sure your gear is up to date too

lavish vortex
#

yeah, i am... always close to the level i am at

jade quartz
#

Also you have

!action swiftcast

jade quartz
#

in a pinch

lavish vortex
#

im saving it to revive only... maybe thats not good?

jade quartz
#

If the tank has low gear, doesn't use cooldowns or just stands in fire

#

then it's not your fault

lavish vortex
#

got it, thanks!!, ill be back with more advanced questions in a couple of days for sure haha šŸ¤™

#

Hello, not sure if this is the right place for it butI’m a new player and tried buying FFXIV through the na square enix store. Waited around 2 hours for it but it suddenly got refunded

#

Thinking about buying the steam version, but is it possible to transfer my Pc free trial character over to the steam one?

wind kindle
#

Hello, I've been getting these lvl 55~60 Treasure Maps. I've done a few, too. Question is that, are they more profitable using or through MB?

slate arrow
#

@vocal shell yes

#

@wind kindle depends on RNG, answer generally leans towards no for older maps

#

for level 80 maps you can get a profit sometimes but it depends on the marketboard

wind kindle
#

I see. So, I guess I'll just sell the maps as is, eh?

slate arrow
#

oh I thought you were asking if buying them off the MB to open was profitable

#

the answer is

#

questionable

#

because RNG is a lovely thing

wind kindle
#

Alright. Thank you for your output.

tribal olive
#

Is there a section for new players to find someone to play with?

obsidian patio
#

Not particularly, but preferred servers are practically bursting with new players if you can make a character on them

tribal olive
#

Okay ty I’ll try that, just started :3

smoky girder
#

Okay, i can't pick which race to play. I want to be a bard, but can't pick between a wildwood male, a dunes folk, or a midlander girl. Is one better for barding?

obsidian patio
#

Racial stats don’t matter.

slate arrow
#

your starting stats are literally insignificant

jade quartz
#

Barding?

#

Like playing bard?

#

yeah you can consider race a purely visual choice

slate arrow
#

theyre a difference of 5 points when we're literally in the thousands now

obsidian patio
#

(Same thing with picking a diety and birthday)

smoky girder
#

Hmm okay,

#

All my friends are in siren, yeah

#

I just have to pick a race. And then wait for the server to open

#

Also cool, maybe we'll meet in game!

#

I'm just too indecisive on these parts

obsidian patio
#

That’s been moved to completing the base game story

#

From the quest ā€œThe Ultimate Weaponā€ at 50

oak ice
#

You're gonna need to update eventually, I'm pretty sure

#

Without increasing your gathering stat your chances of actually getting items drops like a rock, but I don't know what the minimum chance is

smoky girder
#

Great, now I have a wildwood male, both genders of dunes folk, and a female midlander. Thanks inaccessible server for giving me so much time to waffle

oak ice
#

You could just keep going until you deem the rng part bad enough

hi I just started ishgard restoration quest and I need skybuilders hemp which is apprently found in lower la noscea moraby bay

but I can't find it on the nodes

which is weird

Different set of nodes

is there a way to target dead players on controller

I can't sheathe my weapon in combat tho?

Yes you can.

so far this is the only node I can see on moraby bay

No wait, just reread your question. The old sky builder materials were completely removed

All skybuilder stuff comes from the diadem now

ohh sad

The non-grade 2 stuff were from the first phase

all I get there is grade 2

obsidian patio

Yep.

Grade 1 stuff is obsolete

#

And no longer matters

smoky girder
#

Oh no I noticed the Lancer

glossy sapphire
#

I see its quite hard for me to make the hemp milk with 50 collectible :C

can I turn in the ones with less?

If 50 is the minimum it wants, then no.

What is the purpose of rerunning trials? I just finished killing Ifrit for the first time and seemed to do it with people who had done it before, didn't get any loot or hardly any xp at all. Wondering what made them sign up? And by the time the cut scene was over they were all gone so couldn't ask.

Roulettes

#

the daily reward for completing roulettes are scaled to your level, so they're almost always worth it

#

they're done like that to make sure that there's always people available to fill out parties for old content

dire prism

ah, they just randomly got it, ok, that makes sense then, thought I was missing something I needed to focus on

nimble holly
#

whats the best way to geta shitload of crystals for crafting, specifically lightning

junior yacht
#

buy them on the MB

polar hound
#

plant them/gather them

junior yacht
#

gathering them yourself is also an option, but will take a lot longer

#

especially if you don't already have a gatherer leveled

nimble holly
#

ive got both leveled actually šŸ˜„

#

im just wondering if theres a location that has like a higher payout for gathering, seems to be the same no matter where i go

empty parrot
#

Can you only gather one seeds per day?

silver ruin
#

@nimble holly aetheral reduction

obsidian patio
#

No.

#

Most seeds are a rare spawn in the node

#

Others come from unspoiled nodes which are on a 36m/72m timer

#

And some only come from cross breeding

Is there a single mount tracker site that's actually working right now? EDIT: never mind, don't know what was up with ffxivcollect but it's good now

#

do we know if ng+ will give exp and if it can be played on non max level characters?
@frigid sigil NG+ doesn't give any rewards at all

#

its just for story replay

#

ffxivcollect isn't doing bad

#

it works fairly well

leaden ginkgo
#

It can be played on non max level characters though afaik. Given that I have the quest for it and I'm not max level :P

#

Although idk why you would want it to give EXP- unless it was a massive amount, probably much quicker to just do the current methods

frigid sigil
#

I see too bad

forest glen

How is this possible?

#

He's doing a lvl 60 dungeon

primal relic
#

Why do high lvl player join low lvl fate?

cerulean schooner
#

is the firmament aetheryte ticket reusable or one time use

leaden ginkgo
#

Because of level sync @primal relic

#

They still get exp

#

(along with the other rewards)

#

Reasonably worth it if your just passing by, besides it's fun usually :p

primal relic
#

Does I affect items too? They were instantly killing everything.

warped nest
#

Why do high lvl player join low lvl fate?
@primal relic challenge log give out two weekly bonus exp on completing FATEs

primal relic

warped nest

It will sycn their gear to the correct power level

leaden ginkgo
#

@forest glen idk what you mean- they appear to have a level 65 and level 80 job

warped nest
#

If they outlevel it massively then it will sync to the maximum value possible at that level

#

They assume that you need to be exactly lvl 60 to do lvl 60 dungeon, probably

obsidian patio
#

Bought samurai job potion, looks like

warped nest
#

If Mydia was talking how it is possible to have just Samurai and Dancer at high level, then yeah, job skip

leaden ginkgo
#

Ooooh, more likely yeah ^

#

Judging from the "kupo supporter" name color I would have been surprised if they were so new as to be confused by how dungeon levels work, as that's putting money into support very early :P

#

But could totally see not figuring out a job skip being the reason there

cerulean schooner
#

so i just bought 99 brass sky pirate spoils thinking i could buy a pegasus mount that way. I'm at the spoils collector rn and it's not there so I assume it's not an option anymore, so what should i get for the spoils?

warped nest
#

It is not listed under Other?

cerulean schooner
#

i didnt see another tab maybe im blind i'll go backa nd check

obsidian patio

@leaden ginkgo kupo supporter is people who pledge to kupobot’s patreon, nothing to do with ingame

cerulean schooner
#

nope no other tab

#

man i sure do hope i didnt just waste a bunch of scrips ugh

leaden ginkgo
#

I figure, but that still means your putting money into the "world" of FFXIV quite early on if you haven't seen dungeon level systems yet @obsidian patio

#

Idk, maybe my philosophy was a bit short sighted

Also do higher rarity mean anything? I got like the same boot but green grade from a instance but it looks like it has same stats.

And just different color.

It is relative rarity

colour of a piece of gear has a very relative amount of relevance

warped nest

Just look at ilvl and stats

later on its less relevant since item level is the most important

if its a crafted piece of gear, take care to note whether its High Quality hqlight

not everyone wants to play everything

you'll eventually unlock the job stones for every class you pick up anyways, since you don't want to cripple yourself in later content

Two things I would like to point out, if you don't mind me being naggy

You can adjust your hotbar to fit next to your party list

So when you press your macros on that hotbar, you don't need to think, just press Play card next to the player

Another thing you need to consider is Minor Arcana
