Check the comments there for some troubleshooting or ask in #technology-discussion most likely
@tight yarrow depending on your load times, taking the ferry from Limsa by the arcanist guild is faster
I wish I knew how not worth it was to go farm centurion seals to dye chaos set, lol
Btw, how hard and punishing is the Eureka anemos quests?
quest
Thanks @polar hound
Eureka itself is dangerous and levels means alot
So it is like potd?

Uhhh its a large open world instance with its own levelling
Its basically a giant love letter to old school mmos
Where you grind mobs and stuff for xp
@faint flare PS4, so probably not...
With the nerfs its not so bad, just tedious and hella time consuming
@odd mason what I did if I already had ironworks armour was spend it on the shield and accessories
Then turn them into GC seals
You can just hop onto Eureka and play for 30-45 minutes and see how you feel about it
That way I never capped until I got to Idyllshire for the shire gear and I got some GC seals as well
Does road to 70 apply in Eureka?
So does PotD but road to 70 affects that ?
eureka doesn't even go to 70
@chilly briar ty!
More like eureka is at 70 when the buff would already be gone. Plus it gives no XP for outside so
oh that too
Is there a nightmare bird equivalent? (Trials Mount)
No
The Demonic Lanner is the closest to it if you want darkness in a bird.
But yes, there is no extra (9th) bird.
Same for SB btw.
if the timer runs out in eureka does it kick you out
yes
weird question but sometimes I get pm's from people I've never met before on different servers. How did they find me specifically?
you can't pm someone on a different server
um i mean like someone from Ultros pm'ing me on Lamia for example
yes you can.
how so
you 100% can whisper people across servers on the same datacenter.
well I've tried and it said it couldn't send
/Tell name@server
just confused on how they found me specifically
Using Alt r makes it easy to respond
^
I've tried that and it didn't work
I have this quest that says it'll be unlocked at 1PM earth time
Is this a one time thing, that if I miss will never get again?
They may of ran stuff with you, in which case you'd show up in their Contacts list.
Or have party finder up
Oh, yeah of course
Or they're looking through player search for something
player search is only server-wide to my knowledge but yea
Well they might have visited
fair enough
Ok, how does the Foundation work? I've gathered a bit to level up my DoL classes, but now I'm trying the crafting aspect. I've made a few things, but how do I submit it for the scripts?
like, who do I talk to or how many of the items do I need to submit?
you talk to potkin to submit
You can turn in as many as you are willing to craft or need to turn in until you hit the lvl for the next set of crafted turn ins
I think the guide pinned in #doh-dol-lounge says how many turns in are need per level range but i'm not sure

Make sure the items are the minimum required collectiblity
Aka you need to raise the quality
Not just make the thing
Higher quality, better rewards
Items that dont meet the required collectiblity are useless
Oh...tsk
Welp, going to have to stick to just gathering atm till I can figure out how to craft better
the guide i mentioned also has crafting macros
^
If you hit the stats required thats listed on thr macros, you can use them to.make the items
its been a while since ive done the anima quest line but can the Containment Bays for the "Best Friends Forever" part of the quest, be soloed unsynced? or should i get 1 or 2 more people
Get a small party
ive got it up on party finder, unfortunately no ones joining haha
weird q: since this game allows same-sex marriage, can one also does polygamy? 😂
It is technically not marriage
Does anybody know what hat this is? Can it even be acquired by players?
Awww... i wanna more tele rings... lawl
Thats the astrologian at the observatorium
If they have a name, you can search them in Garlandtools
Edmelle is wearing the same one
weird tho, if same-sex allowed, y not polygamy? lol
Technically it is not marriage
what do I do with a ton of low level common equipment after leveling DoH, I need inventory space (retainer is full)
Sell them to any NPC for gils
Desynth grind
market or immedietly sell?
Again, desynth grind
Unless ur desynth level are 50+ higher than gear lvl, then just sell em
You cannot sell gears you have used on the player Marketboard
*ilvl
Your only options are (not in order)
- discard
- sell to any shop NPC for gils
- desynth to level up your desynth
Reverse on that list for me
Additional info: green, pink, and blue rarity gears can be traded to your GC for GC seal
It is not an ordered list
Just a list of options
yeah for colored equip I already trade for GC
I’m just stating my priorities
Just right click & choose desynth. Probably need quest to unlock desynth feature 1st
Desynth was made so it just levels up normally (no more max among all doh classes) and you can desynth anything.
Or use desynth menu from action&traits if desynth too much crap
Btw before desynth, make sure do materia extract if spiritbond on ur gear is 100%
ah you need lv 30 of DoH for the quest unlock
My DoH class average is only 15 right now
kewl. Just get any doh class to 30, shud be quick;)
Btw I read in some guide, just focus 3-4 class for Dsyn
Do triple turn-in leves, it’s insanely fast lvl up
what class do you recommend?
lol
Btw, if you desperately needed the inventory space, just sell gears for Gil now
You don't have to be super optimal with how you dispose of obsolete gears
Erase your memory of any old guide
Or 5.2
is there update guide for DoH? I read that from 5.05 google doc that have a ton of page
Our answer will always be "it is changed now"
Go there
Give yourself a role in #612757637813239808
Then drop by #doh-dol-lounge
!faq errorcodes
I heard everyone is getting the same error
Nothing on masamune, probably just ur conns
How much exp does the MSQ duty roulette give upon completion?
I believe so takkun
like almost half a bar with armory
it was worded the same as all the other raid buffs so I was like "wtf" when I didn't see the buff on myself
like almost half a bar with armory
@remote lintel thank you!

!action Battle Voice
me mates having the same prob too
@static yacht looks like it affects caster
no it doesn't
Oh, TIL
I’m online @ masamune atm
!action divine veil
!action Embolden
**Divine Veil** : lvl 56 PLD (90.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)
Upon HP recovery via healing magic cast by self or a party member, a protective barrier is cast on all party members within a radius of 15 yalms.
Duration: 30s
Barrier Effect: Prevents damage up to 10% of your maximum HP
Duration: 30s
Effect ends upon additional HP recovery via healing magic.
I know that embolden doesn't buff other mages
divine veil's shield doesn't affect the pld either, though the initial buff is usually cast on them
Ill try connecting ethernet
Hang on. I’ll relog my alt on ton
Well in terms of dps buffs
But yes its like the only dps raid buff that doesn't affect the caster
as far as i can remember its always been that way
interesting
Yeah
Oh, the caster as in people who used the skill
lol 5 player in que for ton
Bards too busy singing to listen to their own song
I thought you meant mages
& i’m in

So far nothing’s wrong on my conns with ton, already finished checking my retainers
I've got a question about GC supply and delivery missions and how random they may or may not be when they reset daily.
When it resets, is it the same for everyone? Just different based on level? (Like two level 75 weavers will have the same item to turn in)
your GC turn-ins are specific to you since your crafters won't be the same level as another persons
but the reset time is the same every day
btw another q: are there any huge benefit for new game plus compared with playing fresh with alts?
Ok im lvl 25 now it said something about a job but i was doing my rotation
lol then why bother making new game plus feature if only for fun... 😅
people want a way to replay the story without having the hassle of releveling a new character
i c
I'd also hope that it skips lots of the boring parts ... but maybe not. IDK
lol
Ok so you get your second job at 25 where do i got to do this?
I'm slowly understanding the mechanics of AST, but can I just clarify, playing cards outside of combat wont give me seals, right?
what do you mean, @tulip plover
so example:
I got crescent, sun seals, I hold a card with the moon seal, outside combat.
I should play it only when I enter combat, correct?
yes you only get seals when you're in combat
so slap a regen or throw out a dot before you play cards
second Q, how does the nocturnal sect idea work. I've never SCH-ed, (my SMN took me to 80) so Im unfamiliar with the principle
Cool cool
shields
But shield should be pre-damage, yea?
yes
ideally
when I go noct, I cant regen
so that means I gotta throw out big boi heals, correct?
ideal for noct is when you know a tank buster/raid wide is coming, you throw aspect benefic/helios out
though for raid wides, CU/earthly star can cover that for the most part
@junior yacht like how do you start second job
CO (celestial opposition) gives a shield with noct, so you can use that instead of a.helios as well
what job are you wanting to start?
Well uh
you do have a regen, though you dont get it until sorta late as noct sect
just, any job?
Celestial Intersection (CI) is a regen when in noct
you can start unlocking new classes as soon as level 10
Well i guess lvl 25 is the job advancement maybe?
just go to any of the three main cities, and look for quests with this icon
and names like "So you want to be a..."
you upgrade from classes to jobs at 30
Ah ok
I wss mostly curious cuz i saw it pop up in a dungeon and was like, second job when i hit 25
do you have a screenshot of that? I'm not sure what you're referring to
How do you find the tips
system > active help
you can also type in /activehelp to the chat bar
Crap how do you see the most recent one?
not sure
Dammit i cant find it screw it
Ill figure it out later
Good thing i looked cuz i didnt even know limit breakers existed
Ah, so for now, it's just keep shield up on tanks, then shield for party if raid wide and normal Benefic 2 till I get the regen skill, right, @twilit arch ?
diurnal?
no, shield when necessary
nono, when using nocturnal, i mean
if you try and maintain shield you will oom yourself
Shouldn't shield always be on tank?
no
you want to be in diurnal most of the time
they're not asking about diurnal
nocturnal is what you use when there's two ASTs in the party, yes?
basically, aspect benefic as noct cost A LOT
ic
so you need to be a bit more stringy with it
generally only want to shield when you need to shield
if the other ast is in diurnal yes
its fine to pre-shield a pull ofc
but don't try and maintain the shield during a pull, make use of CI/CO/earthly/ED
when it comes to boss fights themselves
you either shield for a tank buster or a raid wide
though like i said, for raid wides you're generally going to want to use collective unconscious or earthly
i see... I'm still 53, so I don't think i have those skills yet?
Wheel of Fortune!
CO is 60, earthly is 62
Ah. Poopy. So what's wheel of fortune?
wheel of fortune is the buff from CU
the buff that persists
You can use it for quick party buffing as well, if you desire
but for now, the main thing is
cast a. benefic before a pull, use ED to ogcd heal and benefic 2 if you have to gcd heal
once you get co and cu you can use them both together for quick heals and buffs
and they're on the same cooldown
Ah, so in healing, we should aim for the oGCD heal, rather than the GCD one?
or is the oGCD one the "oh shit" button
Does this apply to all healers? And what's the reasoning?
healing in 14 is about healing as little as possible
yep
Ah
collective unconscious, celestial intersection, celestial opposition, earthly star, and essential dignity should always be your first choices when you need to heal
CU/CO/Earthly are AoE but you can definitely use them for single target
earthly generally should also be used a bit like assize, but mainly for the healing. its got decent dmg tied to it
don't you run the risk of over healing with ed
yes, but for trash pulls thats fine
since you're going to be using it for the bonus of dmg
i see
When do you get youe first mount
!faq mount
!faq mounts
Mounts FAQ
Info
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
Do food exp buffs and exp buff accessories affect the roulette exp reward or is it fixed
It is "fixed" as in it is determined by your lvl and the content you get
But it is not affected by food buff or exp buff
The only buff you can apply to them are the Road to 70 buff, so I am told
Is there an FAQ about the various things different exp buffs affect? If not that could be useful, as it is confusing :P
No, because there really isn't that much that effects things like quest exp or the roulettes
road to 70 is literally the only exp buff that affects everything
food, armoury bonus, accessory buffs, free company buffs do not affect roulette or quest rewards
Anything that improves combat exp comes from killing stuff
Ugh. I am at the fish area in Shadowbringers.
How close am I to finishing this fucking story x.x
Just entered there?
Been there for a couple quests
you're almost done
You are 3 mini arc away
Give or take how many hours?
depends on where you are
3-4 hours including dungeon time
Okay cool
I'm so done with this MSQ.
Like the story is rad. But I just wana have fun with friends x x
You have to befriend fish people, then visit a city on the south, talk to local, then do a dungeon + a trial, then 5.0 is done
nah you can basically do whatever after shb
If you are enjoying the story, then the dungeon + trial is very juicy
Talking to locals are fine
you can unlock the raids when you finish shb
Good luck, have fun
Neir is the first raid right?
the alliance one
Copied factory
you can pick them up in any order
It is a 3-part alliance raid
Part 2 is coming soon
the 8 man raids are more fun imo
Eden series is the standard raid
It also ties in rather closely to the ShB MSQ
More so than SB's Ivalice and HW's Alexander imo
Cool
Yeah
Finishing that adds a thing in one of the last cutscene
Is that necessary?
Is there a list of the strength requirements for each set of palace if the dead floors
IT DOES?
Crystal Tower will be made necessary soon for 
what thing??
If you finish the Crystal Tower series, after ||the last Trial in ShB, you get a third option in the following cutscene and you greet Graha in person, he cried and said it is good to be back||
How do you do the spoilers thing?
||I like to eat duck||
|| like this ||
Wait I was about to say something then realized I'm dumb XD
this
This is done by adding 3 ` on front and back
|| forgot Graha didnt die when he was shot||
Two ` on front and back will give you this instead
Coolio
Anyhow, have fun with the climax of 5.0
I have a friend who has a body pillow of Graha
oh no
And turn up those volume
Maybe. I'm vibing to the persona soundtrack lol
At least turn it on for the trial + the final cutscene sequence
Seiryu, those flute is 👌
if you like dramatic music you'll like the trial music
Coolio
How do I get the Dhoro Ilh Aether Current in the Steppes?
So there is a promotion right now where someone can invite you back to the game for a little bit of free gametime? Would someone be so kind?
its in the caves
haven't heard of that
The entrance is on the south side
afaik there's no call back campaign happening
not to mention that for the callback to work they have to be on your first list already
well darn, I misread this website. i'm 200 crysta short so I'll just have to wait like a big boy
what website?
it didnt look super legitimate. couponxoo.com/ffxiv-return-player-free-trial
yeah i would not trust that website
reading it more it says its a callback campaign but doesnt list a date
wasnt much scarier than some SCP but I've left it I swear
question to the community because i dont want to be used. im about to get the full game, someone wants to give me their recruitment code. do we both receive the same rewards?
whats happening to the servers
The first link details the reward
Wait so are free companies guilds?
Ok i was confused
guilds in 14 are the class related stuff
I was like if i join a free company are guilds seperate?
Cuz i wanted the glamour
But do player made guilds have their own glamour?
no
So if you join thr regular free companies you cant join a player made one?
There's only the player free companies
sounds like you're mixing up grand companies with free companies
which are two different things
joining a grand company is mandatory, as its part of the main scenario quest
free companies are entirely optional, and most people either join for social reasons or to get the free buffs that most fcs run (namely the xp boost)
Ok so i want to join the flames for the glamour but it says theres a lvl 20 quest but im lvl 25
Maybe i accidentally power lvled too much from roulettes
lvl 20 msq
And where can i go to join a free company
you just ask to do that
shout in limsa I guess
Free Companies are essentially guilds
if you buy a glam from mog and discard it can you get it back?
No
you can try contacting support to see if they'll use your one time item restore
wow
but other than that, you'll have to buy it again
they could have just added it to calamity salvager
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
given that pretty much all of the calamity salvager items are either tied to a specific quest or achievement
they'd probably have to change something either about the mogstation sets or how the salvager works
also kind of your own fault if you discard a mogstation item 🤷♀️ no reason to not chuck them into the dresser
Fuck how do you find armor and weapon shops easily
And where is this under?
Almost always on or near aetheryte crystal

How much exp do I get from daily roulette of guild hests?
Only the first win of the day
hi i'm new at the game and i want to know how to get shiny weapon that has effect i tried to search for it but i got confused so any hints will be happy = )
not much probably about 10-15k, and this is without the first time completion on a job
these weapons named relic ?
relics are like an endgame grind
there are a couple for every job
which one are you specifically looking at @wispy basalt
a book
which one specifically
they have upgrades ?
the books have 3 relics for each job
idk about thoses
do you know which book you're looking at?
there's a zodiac relic for both smn and sch
an anima
and a eureka one
the shadowbringers one has the first step as well
they have the same prograssing ?
no, each expansion has its own specific relics
o i see
but jobs added after an expansion don't get them retroactively
zodiac anima eurekan ?
those are the names of the relic series of a given expansion
Zodiac = A Realm Reborn relic
Anima = Heavensward relic
Eureka = Stormblood
Resistance = Shadowbringers
golden weapons? like this one
So just now I opened a new tab in Garland Bell and the favorites list I previously made doesn't show in it...
!iglam ultimate nothung
like that?
idk lemme
This is why I wish this site would let you use some goddamn accounts.
I have no idea why it's doing that or if I'll have to worry about losing my favorites list for good <.<
Those are from UCoB
Can anyone help me out?
The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate)
One of the hardest pieces of content in the game.
that is one of the hardest fights in the game
o god
relic weapons are hardcore endgame grind
is it that hard
depends on the relic
just the first ones
ultimate fights are a step above savage, and require savage tier clears for that specific fights
that has a small effects
the first stages aren't difficult
relics aren't difficult, but are a time consuming grind
there's very little difficulty, and the older ones received nerfs in the amount of grind as well
the anima for example just takes a lot of time since you need a lot of poetics to progress steps
you'll have to beat a realm reborn and heavensward
whats the difference between the lvl 45 and lvl 50 artifact armor
and it takes a long time
it says i100
was answer the other person's question
Does FFXIV do Halloween events in October?
yes
!faq zodiac
here's a guide to completing the relic you are interested in @wispy basalt
that's from start to finish qripton
o
if you're a crafter its even cheaper
poetics also come from your 50/60/70 roulette and msq roulette
also trial roulette
how far are you into the game actually?
if you're not even done ARR this doesn't matter
im literally stnading in camp bronze lake and it still says 100gil to teleport 5 feet away
@ancient rain do cabs charge you nothing for driving you next door?
What type of Halloween event did XIV did last year?
haunted house instance
Excuse you .o.
Ooooo!
yes it does?
that's where titan is?
titan hard mode
it's a requirement
not a direct msq
50
did you already fight titan?
is the lvl 50 gear for the stormblood classes better than ironworks
or should i still get ironworks
for rdm/samurai
Ironworks is better
pretty sure you have to go to outer la noscea to fight titan
then there's another aetheryte
in outer
to fight titan
I know
I just remember having to go into the crusty mine place to fight titan
you're only in outer for like 5 seconds
Why do some tank like to pull everything before the boss then die as soon as they stop running?
Dude's a lvl 70 running a lvl 41 dungeon, I thought he'd known better?
is the healer healing him?
You can totally do big pulls at that level
He drops before my heal can even fly out of my hand
Can you inhance the lvl of traits
no
Managed to drop a regen before he dash all the way down the hall
Idk his class, has a buff called grit
he's a dark knight
Use a big sword
are you still in the dungeon
Is dark knight popular?
Quite
Cleared it after we wiped from that, he took smaller bites the next time
Whats the least popular tank
gnb in my experience
His hp still drop like crazy even with 3-4 monsters
probably wasn't using cds
It was at stone vigil
Not using CDs or undergeared
dark knight cds aren't too great at lower lvl
So theres no augmentation of classes
but passable
Rampart, Reprise, and Arm's Length are enough to handle low level stuff
what do you mean augmentation
Like you cant do extra stuff to lvl traits or stuff its all gear?
correct
if you mean like traditional mmo skill points or whatever then no
they upgrade automatically
So to get the best possible stats you must enhance gear?
yes
yes
melding
it's putting in gems with stats to your gear
You need to have crafting classes leveled to meld materia yourself but you can have other players meld for you
And when should you start melding
Ok
Before like level 60 not every piece of gear even has slots for materia
Cuz im prettt sure you have to get into melding i order to take on savage trials correct?
It helps
I've done savage raids without melded gear it's more about knowing the fight
If you meet the item level requirement you can in theory clear the content
It's gonna be way harder at minimum ilv but it's doable
But melding helps with numbers as far as surviving right?
You'll mostly focus on damage for melds
And what about tanking?
what're the best NPCs to take into shb dungeon farming?
doesn't matter
The only defensive stat that has materia is tenacity and it's not worth building
tanks have cooldowns
@leaden ginkgo don't think it really matters unless you want thancred to use his magic abilities
So you can speed up cooldowns?
very slightly
:/
Do party bonuses count with trusts
Usually what I try to do is if I'm playing a magic dps I'll take a physical dps trust
and vice versa
At least in a normal party that would give you a stat bonus and faster LB generation
i mean i guess you would pick whichever npcs fit your buffs
like physical dps for red mage
Guys, where do I go to make level 60 class gear dyeable?
!faq afgeardye
How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear
Info
A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.
Heavensward i200 set: Done in Idyllshire by talking to Seika at x7, y7. The materials needed to augment the gear are buyable with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.
Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.
Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.
Thank you 🙂
Roulletes being done, as a 70 what are my options to farming mooglestones fast? Is it just getting a good party together and doing 7-8min AVs?
you can unlock it
How quick is it
very
depends on if people run it down
50 poetics, 5 moogles, that's pretty good
theoretically if every run is 5 minutes 8 runs is better than 1 praetorium
you get 400poetics and 40 moogles
How many moogles do you get from a praetorium?
10
Oh, that's barely any

AV is far faster than that
technically 2 meh 15 minute aurum vale runs is about the same as 1 prae
I was doing 9min AV's with a blue mage, and we werent' even doing well
and AV's give what, 5?
yes
You jump
jump?
mine doesnt do that
They flip when they jump with their weapons out
is it because im still rogue?
They do the naruto run too
As an AST when do you want to stop using benefic and start using benefic 2?
I barely use benefic 1
I keep up diurnal aspected benefic and use benefic 2 when needed
I usually also drop an earthly star and let it sit
kinda like how you'd use excogitation on sch
And that leaves more time for dps I assume, I'm still leveling my first healer but most guides say I should always dps
Up to 50 you're basically just WHM with cards
oh and a free heal button every 45 seconds
Are there fewer fetch quests in the expansions?
yes
What is the recommendations for retainer jobs if you stay with just 2?
one combat and one gatherer of your choice
The combat jobs all collect the same stuff
Yeah that's the most economic way of doing it
And for gathering it's up to you what you want to collect
What is most needed at endgame
and they can only collect things that you have collected
there are no most needed retainers, those are mostly for you
its whatever you need/want
you can go fisher, but I swear they never pick up those
it says they can on the wiki
but I dont believe it
also odder otters dont sell for too much
like 5k-ish
fat cats make the big bucks though
~1mil gil
they're like 400-500k on my server
you on ultros?
behemoth
K so
ah, most worlds I see are 800-900k, but Ultros (and some others) are really bad about undercutting cost
I got in at 6:16, game ended at 6:33
huh?
how is the combat in the expansions?
depends on the class
all classes have gotten way better
each expansion adds something pretty important to the classes
plus there are new classes
i'm doing patch 2.3 and i am still stuck doing fetch quests and something like that
(for EG, WHM went from cure, to lillies, to blood lillies)
other than the trials, there has been no combat
ah, you mean like that
each expansion has a lot of duties and dungeons intermixed in there
the in-between is back to alot of running around
the in-between is back to alot of running around
@pliant cosmos I am starting to get annoyed by this 😦
Under what conditions would it be beneficial to buy more retainers
there are dungeons towards the end
post ARR is by far the longest and worst
so many of my quests have been talk to person A then go to B, then go back to A
@regal mirage you have extra money IRL and dont want to gather things yourself
thats about it
Or you're really into crafting and need to hold all of your materials all the time
yea, or that
though, once you are into higher level crafting you wont have a tonne of mats
its only while leveling that your inventory is always full
(hence why my inventory is always full)
I’m doing provision missions for GS seals and I’m running low on storage space
do you use your saddlebag too?
do i need my old shire gears or i can just trade them for seals
I store most of my mats in there and my poor chocobo has to haul them everywhere
Saddlebag full also
@crystal shoal if you want to reuse them for leveling other classes yes, otherwise no
How do I transfer items and Gil between characters on same world
you need a friend or an FC chest, or put up an item on the receiving character and buy it on the character that has gil, though marketboard fees apply on both ends
some crappy item no one will buy like a random mob drop
Do you use ffxivlauncher.exe or ffxivlauncher64.exe? I can't tell any noticeable difference between the two.
one is 64bit, one is not (32bit)
for supposedly previous 32bit support
I don't think they have a substantial difference, but if you use a 64-bit system, you go for the 64 bit launcher
That's what I thought. Thanks.

Whats that red stone thing on your screen name again, a beast mark?
Beast Gauge, IIRC
What does it do?
later on you get a resource that you can build up using your basic combo
it lets you expend the resource for powerful hits of damage
!action fell cleave
What job shares the most equipment type with samurai
So is that the recommended path to samurai main
Just before I go on an in game wardrobe clear out spree wanted to make sure.
I can get back any 45/50 and unique coffer stuff for my jobs?
I don't understand your question mate sorry
They are very different.
Eh, doesn’t matter. When you unlock samurai you get a starting set of gear
Oj
Oh
Your new
Sorry just woke up. But in terms of playstyle starting with monk could be a little overwhelming. Imo.
So my monk gear isn’t used on samurai?
What happens to monk
Nothing
It stays where it is
And you can feel free to level it later if you end up with good gear on your SAM (what I'm doing right now in fact)
if i started a raid lockout right now..will it reset while im in the instance or can i stay in the whole time?
Samurai starts at 50
@steep lotus I think it uses the time when you entered? Not sure since it’s an uncommon case
It looks like samurai is missing accessories, what job has same stat requirements as samurai so you can have them ready at 50
I think you'll have enough for poetic stuff by 50? On your first play through. Correct me if I'm wrong Wynne.
At least accessories
What is poetic
Is it possible to increase the range at which NPCs are rendered and/or targetable?
Currency you will receive for doing daily stuff for leveling
They are called daily roulettes and used to buy nice gear at 50/60/70
You will also get lots doing stuff for the first time. Like certain trials (fights) I won't spoil anything
Currently 35 on trial account
Yeah, doing Castrum+Praetorium first time through the story should give enough for a full accessory set
I wouldn't even touch armor cause 60 you'll want accessories too
so i have full neo ishgardian and is at ilv476, now what
where can i find Zonureskin maps by fishing? Also how do i stack multiple of them
ah rip
you can only have one per inventory
so you can only have a maximum of 2 on your person at a time
You can store multiples through your retainers, Chocobo bag, already having one open, and having them mailed to you
(three, if you count an opened map)
What shud i spend grand company seals on
Mine usually sit capped cause I play so much but I always max out on glamour prisms.
Best bet is to find out what stuff sells on MB and make some dosh
You'll be swimming in seals later
Does anyone have any general tips on clearing the ishgard restoration items fast with my weaver? Trying to power-level. And yeah, it is fast, but I'm wondering if there's a way to do it most efficiently.
Quick confirmation. I can clear out my armory of any of my job specific unique gear and get it back from the NPC later if I want to glam?
45/50 stuff. 70 coffers etc
check out the pins in #doh-dol-lounge @left cedar there's some macro resources for you to punch out if you meet the stat requirements to craft it that way
@solemn delta the level45/50 Artifact gear can be stored at an inn in the Armoire, and won't take up space after that so you could do it that way
otherwise you should be able to grab it from teh calamity salvager iirc
Yeah it's all taking up so much space but looks good lol
if oyu stick it in the armoire instead of the glamour dresser, you can still access it when you're making glamour plates @solemn delta
It's not on my list
assign yourself the doh-dol role in #612757637813239808
Umm I just got the achievement mapping the Realm thousand maws of toto rak before first boss I've 8 80s and multiple 70s I've done this 30+ times lol
it happens, people don't always go to the first detour room that can get you an extra photocell
nor do they always take the other path
Ah true even a small room
Monks aoe is just pure confusing
And I feel like I have a pretty good grasp of the game.
It puts you into raptor form which is good every 15 seconds for damage buff. Right?
But you need Opo Opo for the increased potency which is 2 GCDs and it changes back to raptor after one usage
Absolutely useless?

MNK you just set up your buffs in Single Target and then you for AoE until the pull is done
and then you just keep the GCD rolling
!faq mnkguide
MNK in general is kinda wack
It just seems absolutely pointless to have it that way around
Unless they fix it later
When it matters more
you keep going forward with your buffs
if you're trying to backtrack on the rotation you're doing it wrong
Well say you got 5 mobs you still need to keep up chain lightning too... No wonder my bro moaned about aoe on monk lol
Grease lightning sorry
But your totally right it is a bit weird
what are you doing are you not just maintining the combo
Nah I just unlocked the AoE
just because you don't have the third AoE step doesn't mean you go back to step 1
I have another question about crafting. When using macros, is there any way to make it start over the crafting process automatically once it's done?
@left cedar no
Alright, good to know. Thank you
So I Arm of the Destroyer - Twin Snakes for damage buff then snap punch do that twice. Keep doing aoe then reapply?
what level are you
twin snakes does lead into snap punch
it's not a hard combo
MNK has no hard combos
anyways yes you just arm > twin > snap
And then arm > true > snap
yeah Monk's AoE while leveling up is very awkward with how the stance system works
you never spam a single GCD it's a DPS gain to keep going through the stances
Hmm. I thought you would use arm multiple times on a pack until you needed to reapply buffs
**Rockbreaker** : lvl 30 MNK (2.5 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)
Delivers an attack with a potency of 120 to all nearby enemies.
Can only be executed when in coeurl form.
Additional Effect: Changes form to opo-opo
Duration: 15s
Additional Effect: Grants Greased Lightning
Duration: 16s
Greased Lightning Bonus: Increases damage dealt by 10% and reduces weaponskill cast time and recast time, spell cast time and recast time, and auto-attack delay by 5%
Oh i see where this is going
That grants opo opo so you can use your initial AoE with increased potency too
Oh I'll get there just a nooby 28 atm
Yeah. It can't be as hard as people make it out to be. My bro killed the E8S dummy at 480 with seconds left without looking up any sort of rotations
So you just get a feel for things
yep
Once you get to 50 your core rotation doesn't really change
it's just a lot of abilities
Obviously on raiding he would need to do the proper rotations but yeah got ya
Does anybody have any tips for leveling DOH/DOL? All I really use is the firmament and then do the job quests. Is there a more efficient method?
#doh-dol-lounge has a guide for leveling in the pins
Is shire BiS for BLU? Clearing out armory
no
That's cool.
Oh so don't go selling it all yet
Not that it matters I'll get 60 and probably never use it lol
yeah exact BiS depends on what roles you mainly play
Tank/Healer BLU prefer more spell speed as an example
as ast, should I be overriding an active card buff for divination?
divination doesn't get rid of the card buffs.
*pat pat*
I have my outsiders jacket glammed but while selling stuff it isn't marked?
While my shire coat is
Cause its NQ?
Neither Outsiders and Shire have HQ versions.
Not too sure on what you mean by marked.
no, it shows that the item has a glamour applied to it
yep
Sorry for all these noob questions I've been raw leveling to make the most out of road to 70
I do have a pretty good fundamental understanding of the game generally haha
Never really spent gil on much. Anything I should save for or just shouldn't be altogether? I want to buy gear for my crafters but I don't know if it is worth wasting the gil on.
I'd say save your gil since 5.3 is coming next month and it's dropping a new set of crafted gear
Has the Doman Reconstruction Project had any changes to it since its release? Is it easier now, or?
is there a way to change fov in first person?
Thank you

what is the highest dps drk can keep stable?
Just hit rank 5 in our small free company and we unlocked company actions but going on the actions section there is nothing there
you need to buy them from the OIC quartermaster in your FC's grand company hq
Cheers
@sand sable 95th percentile on FFlogs for Eden Savage has DRK right below 10k rDPS (9.8k).
99th has them right at 10k, but that's generally with good crit RNG
ask around in the main cities for an FC invite
hey guys im training my race chocobo and wanted to ask what i should push more
super low enduranca oder high stats tzat allready high?
or*
I haven't done much chocobo racing in forever so I'll put this link from the chocobo racing guide in #resources
i see
ou nice
thank you@obsidian patio
What does all the symbols next to player names mean?
ignoring how Gamerescape does some links bad, this shows most player icons, though there are a few outdated/obsolete/unused icons in there
Thanks
Some times (mainly on Wikis) you can use # in the URL to direct to a certain header on the page.
i hate it so much when the fkn main quest doesnt tell you what to do middle of the quest
so bad my god
