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.
for MCH, should i use Reassemble only for Drill?
I have a PF group up, just not getting any bites. š
it's like going on a loop.
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?
High quality will yield more scrips
@bleak plume ignore the one-time password spot if you never used it before
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...
The scrips you get from turning in there are useless though no?
Seems it's only for ugly glams
@obsidian patio i did .. and the whole thing didn't go through. the one-time password is required.
@dense pier you can also buy Dye that can't be found elsewhere with the scrips
hello, would i be able to use other classes in one character on free trial?
Yes
@solar spear yes
@solar spear yes
but not any of the 50 locked jobs / 60 locked jobs / heavensward jobs
@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
the further you get the less you'll outlevel the main quest most likely
wow thats cool thanks
@bleak plume no idea then. :(
You can try contacting support and giving as much info as possible. But if you donāt know your ID at a minimum itās very unlikely.
Won't that market be highly contested though? Also, won't it be flooded even?
Do you know your email then?
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
@obsidian patio i actually do know my id .. it's how i got the link for the reset password.
@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
@latent bloom yes i do
@nova umbra they should have the 2nd set of the hunting log available, or by the next promotion at least. So theyāll 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
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
is there any way to make it so your crafters share the same hotbar?
without manually having to do it for every single one
@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)
You can use macros to copy the bars to other crafters
how do you use a macro to copy hotbars?
Iirc /hotbar copy wvr 1 bsm 1
@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.
Change the wvr and bsm to the jobs you wanna copu from/to
thanks!
If i can find one, ill send it privately since links pubilicly is a BIG NO NO
i'll send you pic privately to show you what it shows me.
how many wolf marks do you get for the pvp matches
depends on what spot your team gets
500 loss, 1000 win
1000 for daily challenge bonus
1k for 1st, 750 for 2nd, 500 for 3rd for frontlines
so besides frontlines it's always 1000 for win
((wrong channel, spologies))
Where do I see what my chocobo's favorite food is?
companion menu
how much do stats like direct hit matter if I'm not planning to do savage raids?
I see, ty

Check for items that have a āShop Selling Priceā listed. If they have one that means it can be bought from a vendor somewhere
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
yes
Yes.
How does Alchemy compare to Culinary whne it comes to buffing?
I see, thanks
ALC is a short term main stat buff
CUL is a longer term spread of stats but smaller overall
Culinary gives spiritbond buff?
Talking about the potions
Spiritbond pots
And stuff
They're not really important
Not unless you are farming specific Materia
Diadem + Spiritbond potion = gatherer Materia for days
is the +spiritbond really not that noticeable?
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.
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
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
kk
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 !
It'll say at the bottom the number percentage (At least in the NA server).
fishing is not the best for making gil
^
you can still make some profit, but for example a miner would be way more profitable
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.
Isn't it also used for alchemy?
which makes stuff that is needed for evreything else?
Most Alchemic don't both with those, but yes.
Alchemic goes into everything, hence a very profitable job.
That, and leatherworker.
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
Hum okay then alchemist,leatherwork and miner it's good for making gils ^^
you want all your crafters leveled
^
Depends on the server, but those 3 are a good start. having all of them leveled gives you the most options.
Is there any reason not to use the fishing action "Snagging"? Doesn't seem to have a drawback
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
SCH always needs more effort for HP healing
IK it's a preventative class, rather than reactive, but this seems a bit much.
that's not to say you don't have reactivity in your kit
yeah no you only get more buttons you have to press to HP heal
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
dungeon healing on SCH can get frustrating if you don't learn how to heal effectively
Or manage MP
since you have a ton of cooldowns you need to juggle
Dissipation, excog, aetherflow, fey wind
you have lots of mp control though, through aetherflow and lucid
your ogcd heals are what you should be using most anyways
@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?
Excog makes your life 1100x easier
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
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.
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
like to get rid of a card
like if you already have that seal
Then you minor arcana or redraw
yeah that's what I thought
I hit goldsmith 55, and realized the grind is real if I dotn wanna spend gil
shoudl I lvl my miner up now?
yes
ty papi
Where do I check my sky builders score?
far left of the firmament
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
only melee dps
LOL
Can I still earn the rewards for the sky builders achievements? For some reason I have the score but I canāt get the minion
which one?
The Malone minion
The only one you can get currently are the cumulative score ones
Ah ok thanks
Is there a way of finding HQ images of the triple triad cards?
no they come as is
New player, might even a really dumb question. Is there a way to compare two items together vs one item? Specifically Iām regards to helms + chest vs hooded robes.
You would have to look at those individually and do the math
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
!faq checkping
- Open CMD (Windows key + R, Type CMD and hit enter)
- Type: ping -n 20 [Datacenter ip address] without the brackets
- Press enter
PD: To check your Datacenter IP adress go to https://arrstatus.com/
Ehhh
You really really don't want to be above 200
Generally being over 100 is okay
Awesome thanks
100 is the average, 200 you might clip a little, 300 is when you should look into latency reduction VPNs
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
SO what you're saying is that if I'm under 100 I ahve no excuse for getting hit by AoEs, yeah?
Yes
So while i'm leveling alchemist rn, what's usually worth crafting at lvl 80 ?
what type of potions ?
Tincures of Main stat
Whatever one sells the most
The tincuree
ah wait theres more tinctures in master recipes ?
Among other things
kk thx
i'll have done 47-80 alch in under 24 hours without road to 70 lol
Firmament op
And i havent used scrips to make gil either

Is it still up to date to make zodiac light farm in low dungeons?
Or are there better variations, like Anima?
To aether reduce things, does it need to be a collectible ?
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.
Oh?
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
what's the best way to grind Allagan Tomestone of Poetics? I need like 4500 for the anima weapon quest (old one).
Guys, a friend of mine after 2 years is coming back to play.
We know his character name, but not the Mogstation ID.
The only difference between unspoiled and empheral is empheral will respawn within their active window
There is any way to retrieve that?
And how do we track ephemereal ?
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)
Yea i'm seeing that on garland
Using an online website counts as no way to track it -_-
Gathering log has it
Once you got it once, gathering log will show the active time for empheral node
ohh alrighjt
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"
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
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
That's not exactly why
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. š¤·āāļø
Anyone know why "Up in Arms" for the 2.X relic wouldn't be showing up for me? I have my Zenith equipped.
Have you done it once before?
Yes.
i see the icons
If there is any, you can press the touch pad
just curious how i can check what they do
Swipe with Touch pad and move your virtual cursor to it
When you create your char can you edit their body? Or did I just skip it entirely.
You have skipped it
You can edit
Fk
this level 50 cornu bird is really annoying it just pops up here and there just to block me from some level 30 quest objective 
I only saw chest, height and face
That's pretty much it
Iono Iām guessing not like BDO
Yeah it doesn't go that far into details
do i have to learn fishing to grind the namazu beast tribe
Namazu is also DoH
Thnks I saw other char and thought I had skip. Guess thatās just their naturally look.
Armors also helps in changing the perception of their body shape
If you're talking about NPCs they typically have custom stuff made just for those NPCs
that too
Another player
!myglamour war
I think theyāre hyur? Or something
!myglamour sch
do I get poetics if I run unsync?
Yes
only first time bonus
/\
Oh I see Ty
correction: yes-ish
so what's the best way to farm them? I need like 4500
Either Aetherochemical, Ghimlyt Dark, or Baelsarās Wall depending on queue times
when do you unlock poetics? My friend is 50 and he still only sees the common tab in the currency menu
you need to complete castrum/praetorium to unlock poetics
For future reference, in most cases, when we said "you unlock this at lvl X" the level refers to your
level
Actually, i did an L50 A-rank with someone that still needed to do Prae and she got poetics.
where can i get the replica of old relic step
which relic
anima HW
o no i clicked wrong area
hey is getting 60 fps on ff14 more than enough is this a game that needs alot of fps
Hey iam Looking for some Help iam doing Zodiark Light Farming as WHM and Looking for some ppl for Help :)
whats your question
LMAO
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
ya this game only drops frame if its like in the background it needs to be fullscreen to get the 60
if you're ever concerned about how your cpu would perform
you can download the benchmark
benchmark?
there's a shadowbringers benchmark
that kinda stress tests your computer and gives you a rating based on how it does
In-game question. Is there a good way to make gil with a crafter that's not at level cap? WVR to be specific.
you can peek into the market board and see what materials are used to make other things
or some low level glamours
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

Can I do squadron command missions before I reach stormblood?
Yes you should be able to
When do I unlock them?
@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.
2nd lieutenant
Iām already second lieutenant
see if you can access your barracks at the back of your GC HQ
I mean the missions that let me go into the dungeon with the squadron
Command missions
after the first flagged mission
iirc
Flagged mission?
You must level your squadron up through the ranks.
You need squadron rank 2 so needs a little progress on the normal stuff first
once your squadron is high enough rank you unlock a "rank up" mission
and completion of it ranks your squadron up
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
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 Iām wrong in assuming.
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
Class levels with the job. No reason not to use your job crystal
Once you get a job there is no reason to ever be using a class
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
White mage is better than conjurer in every way, but no, it isn't lost they just level together.
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?
Its essentially equipping the job. Some actions require the job rather than just the class.
In limsa hawkers ally
hall of the novice
And I cross class like conj+ninja crystal?
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
I didnāt even know that was a thing lol
!action swiftcast
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
It was painful (for me) to level up BLM just to get Swiftcast for WHM res
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
So when I get a crystal does it unlock new skills as i lvl up pass 43+
Novice also has an exp boost item, highly recommended
you unlock your first skill with the job quest
also do your class quests for weapons/skills
And Iāll still have access to all the older Skill right?
!action precense of mind
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
If i cancel a craft, do i lose the mats ?
Yes, unless they get replaced by better versions
you pass by a smith on your way to the first dungeon
@primal relic Of course
they force youto enter the smith hq
why would becoming a job remove your class skills
@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!
@primal relic good example is summoner. Still has access to the Arcanist physick even though it's the most useless thing.
Alright thanks guys for answer my questions! Iono
I have no basic knowledge of the game so just asking.
We all started there. 14 is confusing compared to other mmos with the jobs.
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
Physicks becomes useless? It feels really good. Unless you get a healing pet or something.
@woven token I will disagree with jobs being confusing

Or mob dish out more dos than you can heal
although after looking at pvp
why cant they just combine moves so I got more buttons
smh
@spring oasis compared to other mmos and only because they're basic here. People assume more customization that isn't there.
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
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.
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
Arcanist splits 2 ways. Summoner for a dps class, scholar for a healer
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
Oh wow thatās helpful
That's why it was important to point out the class gets the exp, not the job :p
No need to lvl both separately. I thought only crystal you have equipped will gain xp toward that class
Job*
Although it's mostly moot. Smn and sch are the only two like that.
Oh thatās a downer. Was hoping there were others like that.
Both very fun jobs though, so a nice bonus.
they realized it didn't work fantastically
It is a grind
yea u can't macro it lol
It requires knowledge on how to craft and make use of the procs effectively
you can macro it, provided you hit the correct stat thresholds
ah shit i've actually gotta think 
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.
Yeah, if I may add more on SCH/SMN, SCH in ShB gets almost all of their actions from the job, not the class.
And as much stats as you can get
i have full hq facet and VI materia with hq food
most i can get is VIII and penta meld
@primal relic Yes
@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.
https://discordapp.com/channels/100463940835762176/593861674885185578/688115116176310391
@lime sphinx here's a macro that proves you can do it provided you hit the thresholds
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
assign yourself the #dol-dol role
Oh well that sucks, Iāll probably still do sides though.
Gives me more stuff to do while Iām stuck at home.
are fine, just know that they are for fun/lore and don't give good exp
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
Is it bad to have both a SAM and Monk in the same static?
So generally whatās the best way to lvl w/ friends?
Trying to start one with my friends and deciding who should go what, but two people main both
As long as they are skilled....
Weāve been doing side quest co-op. But when I play alone I just do fate/msq/ sides in my region
is that the best way to level buy strictly the msq? or should i be doing somethign with the msq?
So generally whatās the best way to lvl w/ friends?
@primal relic if you meant being efficient, then one of you should play tank or healer
MSQ is the main focus until you catch up, after a billion reworks it keeps you pretty much level appropriate or higher.
Wait this guy gets 5k collect with 2500 control and i get 1700 with 2.2k ?
gap is enormous
But I thought msq was solo?
You can move as a group while doing MSQ
?
But MSQ cutscene will not acknowledge your group, it will be just you
After MSQ, roulette, palace of the dead, heaven on high, fates
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
I do potd/hoh AFTER roulette bonus exp is done for the day.
Iono wha half of those are. But Iām guessing Iāll find out as I progress and lvl up more xD
Mostly why I say to focus MSQ. A lot of the quality of life stuff needs you to advance to open them
But Iām playing healer and heās playing lancer/archer
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?
CNJ/WHM does pretty decent damage
Your first spell as conjurer is actually a damage spell
Holy op
!action stone
!action holy
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
Btw, don't worry about earth damage, that's just flavor text
How many Thavnairian onions do you need for your chocobo?
You don't deal extra damage if you use stone on bird or insect enemy
Can you duo dungeon? Also should I be selling my items I gain from mob? Or are they useful for something? I havenāt been selling them.
It isnāt worth it to keep queueing roulettes for adventures in need @woven token
@primal relic They are often used for crafting. So keep if you want to craft, otherwise sell on Market Board
Like PokƩmon?
You can duo dungeon only if you massively outlevel them
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.
If you've got nothing else you'd rather be doing, it's not the worst.
Elemental in this game (aside from certain content) doesn't works like PokƩmon
If an item has a āShop Selling Priceā listed then that means you can buy it from a vendor somewhere.
anyone know any good ways to level up quickly, just 2 levels away from 50 and struggling to level up
Which usually means itās dirt cheap for crafting materials
@woven token running regular dungeons is much better.
Black Mage Fire spell don't deal less damage on water enemy, the fire is just flavor in the context of damage calculation
Well these are like drops from lvl1-20 mobs
Adventurer in need bonus exp kind of is the worst actually.
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?
Then theyāre probably worthless
Ok Ty
@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.
Still worth selling to an NPC vendor for a bit of Gil
And way later, doman restoration
Don't do roulette for just Adventurer in Need
Oooh Iāll hold onto dungeon gear then
@warped nest yeah it's my main job, I can't go further in the story until I hit a higher level
potd
Do your roulette
I tried POTD but I can't find a good team to complete floors 41-50
I did the duty roulette already
You just queue up
Aurum Vale or FATEs then
the roulette bonus for tanks and healers falls off. getting only 16k exp at level 50 means nothing especially if itās way lower level. i think
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
it happens
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
I am queing but it just isn't working btw
Leveling, Main Scenario and Alliance roulettes are good for exp
And PvP daily challenge
what is aurum vale?
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
You just have to wait.
aurum vale is level 47 dungeon
It is a optional lvl 47 dungeon
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
it is popular atm due to the moogle event giving currency to buy limited/grindy items
lol
It's running more often though, yeah
No one hates Vale, they hate running it with sprouts who aren't used to doing mechanics yet.
The dungeon itself is decent.
@wanton crow check your weekly challenge log to see if you can snatch any easy exp
For example, doing 5 fates
ohh yeah good point
aurum can be mastered, i netflix while i aurum as a tank, passes time
I haven't checked that either
how long does an aurum run take anyway
That's all I can think of for now, good luck and have fun.
thx for the help, I'm about go try those
No mistake, around 15-20
I don't have issues with it personally. But the groans on loading speaks for itself
ah ok
If you know how to skip certain adds, low 10
ishgard restortion
Scrips is what I did. Especially if you still need the books.
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)
Leves are still fine for DoH/DoL, but Leve has quota
i meanfor dol
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
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.
How many of these graphics and shader mods can i add on to my final fantasy 14 ?
Until your pc breaks
It's just reshade really
Some won't impact gameplay as long as you can tolerate slightly slower frame rate
Some are only good for taking pretty pics
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
There isnt really voice comms in game
The feedback I got is that "there's no time for res/living dead call outs because we're calling out mechanics"
Any voice comms is via discord and only really statics use those
literally just say
Ask them to put a sound effect in it
might just have to positionyour chat back if you're pugging
"I'll be primary rez you be secondary rez"
chat betteR*
Or something
"i rez from bottom to top, you rez top to bottom"
Nah this is an actual static
that way the only thing you have to say is "swift cast down"
well then its a co healer issue then
like
if they arent willing to call it out then position your chat better
Put sound effect in the macro or do what takku said, have like a res order
Or communicate better
how have you been doing other mechanics
like E2S
where healers need to heal
or TEA where you need to esuna
a specific order
Only need something like "no swift"
just have esuna order = rez order
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
Do your job quests.
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
honestly, if you just do the level to 80 method you probably save a lot more time
since doing some of the gatherer quests at the level they're intended to be takes substantially longer
^^^
that
holy fuck its so annoying spending like
30 minutes trying to get an hq item
an hour trying to get HQ mats? when you can do it in 3 minutes at level 80? yeah
and then I have to get 20 of them
I'm only level 25, but I wanna try another job. Any tips I should know for this situation? I've heard getting one job to max is the best approach, but I'm not feeling this one.
you can get another job whenever
You are free to swap whenever you feel like it
You get bonus xp when levelling a job provided they're under your highest level job so
Can swap whenever
Just need to do some catch up leveling
Hunting logs make it easy up to 15/16 then dungeon spam it up
ok ty! that's where my doubt was, how I would catch up to 25
very fast
Hey everyone I had a question about Gpose and was wondering if this is a place to ask it
problem is lvl 10 to 15... hunting log doesn't really help much faster
Potd is good for those first couple levels
Do FATEs
That too
abt potd... running floor 1-20 will b better for lvl 10 to 15 or floor 51-60
51-60
hi new player
just got to hear ishgard restoration thing
is the quest limited?
no
Does anyone know if you can use Gpose while getting attacked?
ohh I see thanks
No, you get hit out of it
Aww -.-
ok thanks
Haven't gotten around to the Yorha raid yet and can't find info on google other than that's where you unlock it... what's the collection do?
Its a lore thing
It holds small text entries you find in the copied factory when yoy go in solo after clearing the raid
Is there a way to assign specific HUD layouts to different classes?
no, gotta switch it manually
š„ŗ
You can have 4 different huds and use a /hud macro to swap
Thanks
Ahh. Thought it'd be more like storage for gear sets or something. Good to know, thank you
wat level do you unlock pf again
Can I have two different squadron manual effects on at once, or will a new one override the old one?
i made an alt and i can't open it up š¦
@static yacht when you unlock your first duty
either guildhests at level 10 or dungeon at 15
rip
The Atma phase for this relic quest is taking forever. Is fate grinding really the only way to go about it?
you could grind a zodiac relic which takes even longer
It'd what I'm eventually aiming to do
But I figured the earlier quests would have been somewhat trimmed
im not kidding when I'm saying the zodiac takes longer to do
I did one about a month ago and it took me about 48 hours or more
Atma is Zodiac.
oh
hi I'm dumb
nope you gotta fate grind yep
I was thinking of the anima first step
Okay how the fuck am I suppose to kill someone in pvp?
I am a warrior
I will 1v1 a black mage
And they just other
Don't I have to go through atma to eventually get to Zodiak>
you're meant to be in their face and using cooldowns to stun/silence/mute
Yes
I have to follow the whole questline right?
Yep
I'm doing it for my DRG because I want Longinus q-q
If I want to actually be killing and stuff what should I play?
any DPS job
Okay. I use to play red mage and did really bad. What is the easiest to pick up pvp wise?
none of them really
Machinist is pretty straightforward
all of them already use simplified versions of their kits
Fair
Best I can say is to wack a dummy until you understand what you need to do
Personally I found BLM was easy to pick up
Hmm. I may level BLM to 30 then. They always did look fun.
Technically, BLM doesn't start until 30. It's THM before then.
I know
MCH imo feels like the easiest to pick up.
I like MCH in PVE
I liked dancer in pvp a lot too. But I had no clue what I was doing and just hit all my buttons xD
assuming you have it unlocked, you can enter it on a level 10 gatherer
Yes

whats a good na server or world thats good to play on?
any preferred world on Crystal, Aether, or Primal
do the class quest characters ever appear again?
if not cause milala was a super fun character
hey guys, question about free companies. can I only join FCs within my own server or can I join any in the datacenter?
Has to be on your server
got it, thanks!
Are clan hunts good way to gain exp in Heavensward?
Not really
any channels for elite mark recruiting?
Theyāre pretty decent daily experience while waiting for a dungeon
MSQ is the best method to keeping up in levels
Alt jobs
But if you don't have that, then they're alright
^
Though Fates are better imo
Where?
In whatever area has fates of your level
Also beast tribes?
@stable hinge you can try this discord https://discord.gg/dZTgnpv
HW+ Beast tribes are good for exp
Thank you
Thankss
tank materia is not tenacity?
the reason why you don't use tenacity for tanks is that it's not worth the mittigation
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
so tank uses which stat?
vitality and strength
i mean.. which materia sry
if you're asking about substats, it's Skill Speed to Tier > Crit > dhit or Determination (WAR only)
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
i read it as tier > crit... tier?
substats have tiers where they take effect
oh tiers... i tot there's a substats called tier
!faq stats
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?
at lower levels cure spam is fine
!action regen
i dont have it yet
yes you'll need to throw some cures
but you will unlock more and more alternatives which are better than that.
so for now its fine, ok hehe
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
the tank even died in many occasions that cure 2 just wont be quick enough
is that my fault?, i dont see alternatives though
and when they die there's not enough MP to revive
is the tank actually wearing gear
hahaha im not sure
are you actually wearing gear
Make sure your gear is up to date too
yeah, i am... always close to the level i am at
in a pinch
im saving it to revive only... maybe thats not good?
If the tank has low gear, doesn't use cooldowns or just stands in fire
then it's not your fault
got it, thanks!!, ill be back with more advanced questions in a couple of days for sure haha š¤
Hello, not sure if this is the right place for it butIām 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?
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?
@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
I see. So, I guess I'll just sell the maps as is, eh?
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
Alright. Thank you for your output.
Is there a section for new players to find someone to play with?
Not particularly, but preferred servers are practically bursting with new players if you can make a character on them
Okay ty Iāll try that, just started :3
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?
Racial stats donāt matter.
your starting stats are literally insignificant
theyre a difference of 5 points when we're literally in the thousands now
(Same thing with picking a diety and birthday)
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
Thatās been moved to completing the base game story
From the quest āThe Ultimate Weaponā at 50
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
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
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
Left/right with your weapon sheathed should target them
hmm thanks wynne Ill try looking again
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
weird
L1+R1
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
Oh no I noticed the Lancer
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.
aw damn
Grab the DoH role in #612757637813239808 and look in the pins for #doh-dol-lounge for macros and recommended stats for Ishgard crafts

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
ah, they just randomly got it, ok, that makes sense then, thought I was missing something I needed to focus on
whats the best way to geta shitload of crystals for crafting, specifically lightning
buy them on the MB
plant them/gather them
gathering them yourself is also an option, but will take a lot longer
especially if you don't already have a gatherer leveled
ive got both leveled actually š
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
Can you only gather one seeds per day?
@nimble holly aetheral reduction
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

do we know if ng+ will give exp and if it can be played on non max level characters?
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
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
I see too bad
Why do high lvl player join low lvl fate?
is the firmament aetheryte ticket reusable or one time use
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
Does I affect items too? They were instantly killing everything.
Why do high lvl player join low lvl fate?
@primal relic challenge log give out two weekly bonus exp on completing FATEs
It*
It will sycn their gear to the correct power level
@forest glen idk what you mean- they appear to have a level 65 and level 80 job
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
Bought samurai job potion, looks like
If Mydia was talking how it is possible to have just Samurai and Dancer at high level, then yeah, job skip
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
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?
It is not listed under Other?
i didnt see another tab maybe im blind i'll go backa nd check
@leaden ginkgo kupo supporter is people who pledge to kupobotās patreon, nothing to do with ingame
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
Just look at ilvl and stats
Ty for the link
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

Started the game with gf and we started in different towns (Ul'dah and New Gridania). At what point does the main story sync so you can play together?

Alright so Iāll just hold onto it. I remember someone mentioning I can trade dungeon gear in.
yes, once you become sergeant 2nd class in your grand company you unlock the Expert Deliveries option

hey i'm a new player, do many lvl 80 players have all job stones unlocked or only the ones they main?
it varies for individuals
not everyone wants to play everything
but many players do have everything unlocked and leveled
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

Siren is still down for character creation...
try super early in the morning or like a couple hours later in the night
server population can get quite busy throughout the day now what with covid
Omega was down for it as well last night, so woke up 7:30am and could make two characters :p
also btw that's not a question flyboy, if you have complaints about the game or otherwise, please move that over to #rants
thanks
Okay so I should get on at like 6 then?
If you are on NA, around 4-5 hours from now... So yeah
basically you're more likely to have a chance during the non-gamer peak hours
3-6am depending on your timezone

wait I just noticed level 50 quest post arr msq clear have no exp
is that actually the case or does it just not say
cause I've been saving doing them for when I possibly get shadowbringer to unlock the level cap
@frigid sigil THhere are exactly 100 quests that are ''patch quests'' between ARR and Heavensward, you have to clear them before going into the next dlc and they give little to no xp so you dont enter heavensward 20 levels higher
any1 know how to macro play card on party member 1-8?
kk thanks for the confirm guess I'll work on those then
!action Play
/action "Play" <x>
x is the number
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
ye
!action Minor Arcana
was gonna place it next to members
Tldr, Minor Arcana is Play with more power, but it doesn't give you the star, sun, moon stuff
