right. mah bad

rare karma
#

Ooh ima do that then

#

Thx for the info

deft quiver
#

I got the trial of ffxiv, and i just talked to a friend and he told me im on the wrong server. Im only about 2 hours in and level 6, can i just delete my character and start over, or can i transfer server somehow

jade quartz
#

You can pay for a server transfer. I strongly recommend you start over as 2 hours/level 6 is nothing.

#

If you're on the same data centre at least, you can still visit each others' worlds

#

but won't be able to be in a Free Company (guild) together.

deft quiver
#

how do i start over tho

#

thats what im trying to figure out rn

jade quartz
#

Create a new character.

deft quiver
#

how

#

do i restart game and theres options somewhere?

#

keep in mind this is my first time ever playing this game, so i hope im not asking for too much

jade quartz
#

From the main menu, select "Data Centres" and pick the correct data centre that your friend is on.

#

Then on the character select screen, pick "create new character".

#

You can delete your old character from the character select screen of its own data centre by right-clicking on it and selecting "delete character".

deft quiver
#

alright, thanks a lot

rare karma
#

How do i setup macros to use weapon skills and abilities?

obsidian patio
#

/action “skill name here”

#

Though there’s not many combat skills you should put in a macro

jade quartz
#

We extremely hyper-strongly ultra-recommend you do not, except for niche cases.

rare karma
#

I just want to add continuation to Gnashing fangand etc (for Gunbreaker) macro so i can modify my hotbar

#

Would that be an exception since its off gcd or no

jade quartz
#

Don't

#

Not at all

#

Macros have a minimum programmable wait time of one second.

#

They also cannot be queued, which results in GCDs lost.

#

It's just a really bad idea all around.

lean quest
#

Ive unlocked this um quest for the way of the samurai I assume that unlocks and changes it but when I did this for paladin it changed me from gladiator to paladin, does it do the same here because I have monk and ninja at 70 as well

rare karma
#

I c makes sense

jade quartz
#

Samurai does not continue from any base class.

rare karma
#

Thx for telling me

jade quartz
#

None of your current classes will become Samurai. Samurai will unlock as its own distinct job.

lean quest
#

ah perfect then I see

#

also now that ive unlocked paladin as well does it mean I have a chance for other jobs as well which convert from base to another or it just happens once?

heavy acorn
#

Gladiator can only convert to the Paladin. Other classes will be able to convert into a job of their own.

jade quartz
#

You can play all jobs on one class.

#

Nothing locks you out of anything.

#

Classes that start at level 1 will advance to jobs at level 30. These jobs are simply continuations of the base classes with upgraded names and lore.

#

Expansion classes start as jobs right off the bat, and at a higher starting level.

#

No limitations.

heavy acorn
lean quest
#

oh that makes sense why I unlock paladin at 30 and samurai at 50

#

okay perfect guide as well thanks guys 🙂

oblique yew
#

Are there restrictions to naming a retainer? It keeps saying the band is not available

marble drift
#

I believe you can't have it the same as someone elses retainer on your server

Retainer names are like seller IDs on the marketboard. Therefore they're unique per world.

ripe grove

Hello. I'm considering to level up my whm to 80. I have problems with dividing attention between healing and dpsing(im currently 55). Do you think it's a good idea to go through each dungeon from low level to my current level to learn, or i should rather go my highest level dungeon and tell tank to go slow?

simple shore
#

Telling tanks to go slow in 51+ dungeons will likely go poorly

jade quartz
#

I dunno about that, many folks will be considerate.

marble drift
#

and low level healing isn't the most accurate representation

#

as you're using alot of ogcds to heal

jade quartz
#

However, I don't really feel that going slow will be a good method for learning.

#

My honest recommendation would just be to continue throwing yourself in there.

marble drift
#

Generally. What I do is on the start of the pull. target the boss and put your Glare/Stone on 1

#

and just slam that 1 key while keeping an eye on your feet (for aoes)

#

and party health bars

ripe grove
#

yeah. but i thinkg my problem is mainly with trashes on dungeons when tank pulls a lot

little swift
#

holy is really powerful there

ripe grove
#

do you recommend to focus on healing then if i'm noob, and try to slowly add dps skills into rotation?

little swift
#

its fine to heal and dps when you can when you're learning

#

and slowing transition to the opposite later

#

where you dps mostly and heal as you need

ripe grove
#

i just love healers overall, and even after getting drk and monk to 80 i still didn't pluck up the courage 😄

marble drift
#

generally you can get a holy off and it slams that big stun on everything, giving you enough time for a 2nd and possibly 3rd holy

#

after that. the mobs are stun immune

#

and you can dance between ogcd healing

#

and holy casts

ripe grove
#

so only 3 holy stuns then?

marble drift
#

about that roughly. mileage may vary

little swift
#

holy stuns for about 7ish seconds

simple shore
#

Only 3 stuns in general

little swift
#

but the damage is still useful

simple shore
#

After 3 stuns regardless of quality the mob will be immune

ripe grove
#

okay. thank you very much.

ember briar
#

A hot tip, try not to put a regen buff on a tank pre-trash pull. Regens give instant hate to the healer. Apply regen after the pull (unless it's a 1 mob boss)

ripe grove
#

oh, ok

little swift
#

one way people like to do pulls is swiftcast holy > regen > holy > holy

marble drift
#

I do that! works a charm

ember briar
#

perfect

little swift
#

it gives you time before you need to watch the tanks hp super closely

#

and lets you get out a small bit of healing

#

after thats done you holy/heal as you need

ripe grove
#

okay. im going to try this asap 😄 I'll let you know how badly i failed after i finish 😄

ember briar
#

best tip is don't panic! healing gets so much easier with a little experience

remote lintel
#

healing really seems more daunting than it actually is

#

to people who have never healed before

little swift
#

when you get more tools it just becomes comfier

simple shore
#

The only other thing is, dont fall into the trap of "wait to see damage, then heal" if the tank is pulling everything.

ripe grove
#

i was gooing well before i heard that you need to dps on savage raids :/

#

that put me down

steep heron
#

Dps in dungeons too

marble drift
#

also you're not totally responsible for a tanks damage. infact you're only responsible for the after effects. If they don't drop cooldowns on massive pulls its 100% thier fault.

ripe grove
#

sure, but i mainly aim for raiding tbh

remote lintel
#

you need to dps in general

marble drift
#

not alot you can do

ripe grove
#

sure.

marble drift
#

so if some asshole decides to pin the blame on you for something he should've done. Ignore all that garbage

ripe grove
#

i'll try.

little swift
#

the idea about dps-ing as a healer is

#

you have a lot of downtime when you don't need to heal

#

so why would you not do damage

#

raids/fights are scripted

ripe grove
#

ik

little swift
#

you'll always know what damage comes when so just fire those stones/glares :^)

ripe grove
#

i mean that scared me before i got to savage raiding.

#

After finishing e5-6s i see that damage is predictable

simple shore
#

Its a reality that as a healer, you need to learn to damage, because otherwise you're just AFK'ing.

marble drift
#

I would say that healing in a raid enviroment is even easier most of the time

simple shore
#

Yeah, probably true. Extremely predictable damage unless someone is standing somewhere they shouldnt be

marble drift
#

you get to plan everything down including raid cooldowns and co-healing and you know whos taking what

#

plus raid tanks take like fuck all damage

#

Shiva hits like a brick shit house and my groups MT gets like 3-4 ogcds for the first minute of the fight almost

wary forge
#

Is it possible to do Aquapolis unsynced or is it always forced to be done synced?

little swift
#

Map portals are always synced

jovial verge
#

Hey guys. is there a considered 'fastest' way to grind out the tank achievements for the mounts? I've got my GNB to 100 out 200 and any hints would be appreciated

steep heron
#

Garuda ex spam for the first one and its a bit of a toss up but a good group can meme it through by farming Rathalos ex

jovial verge
#

That sounds like a good idea cos I never did get the mount for Rath EX. Thank you

lunar mist
#

What's the general consensus on leveling from 30-50 quickly? E.G. for newly unlocked classes like DRK or AST?

simple shore
#

Pretty much do all roulettes daily, then whatever the highest level dungeon is you can do

wary forge
#

When does movie roulette stop being at least half a level up every day you do it?

marble drift
#

specifically for DRK and AST you have the benefit of a speedy dungeon queue

dapper echo
#

Anyone can answer me the question in german?
Wie bekommt man Freibriefe eines höheren Levels?

#

or in english

#

I dont know how is "Freibriefe" in english

marble drift
#

google translate says you're asking about...certificates? o_O

dapper echo
#

I am asking about the quests which u can take in every city

oblique yew
#

How to disable mount music?

dusky nest
#

Kommt drauf an welche genau du brauchst. normalerweise habe verschiedene maps auch verschiedenstufige freibriefe

dapper echo
#

Ich brauche ab level 35 oder 40

marble drift
#

thats an option in audio settings bluebird

oblique yew
#

Ok

mortal root
#

stupid question but in the phrase "auri male" auri is adjectival right?

shrewd owl
#

ye

mortal root

#

kampf? @dapper echo

Got it

dapper echo

Südwald (Camp Seelenruhe), Östliches La Noscea (Sonnenküste)
an den orten

dapper echo
#

super, danke dir!

dusky nest
#

alternativ:
Zentrales Hochland von Coerthas (Observatorium) für 35-40
oder Nördliches Thanalan (Camp Blauer Dunst) für 40-45

dapper echo
#

checke es aus!

marble drift
#

how fortuitous that we had someone that spoke the language on hand. very lucky

dusky nest
oblique yew
#

Did they change the map system in the expansions?

marble drift
#

in what regard?

oblique yew
#

Where the map uncovers when I travel to the area

marble drift
#

No thats been default for a while iirc

obsidian patio
#

it changing to show the entire zone at once was with stormblood launch IIRC

#

dungeons/trials/raids still only uncover the parts you travel to

leaden ginkgo
#

The servers out or something?

obsidian patio
#

!faw worldstatus

#

!faq worldstatus

zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
#

Weird

obsidian patio
#

Looks fine on SE's end.

#

though it could be a faulty node on the way to the datacenter

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah I just got back online. Dunno what happened

#

So where do I drop off items needed for fc projects?

obsidian patio
#

Interact with the hologram thingy to feed the items in there

#

if you mean unlocking recipes, you interact with the board near the FC chest to exchange the items

leaden ginkgo
#

The board? I just see what's needed using the timers

stable hinge
#

Are there class minions?

obsidian patio
#

nope

#

closest thing would be the Minion of Light from Jonathas in Old Gridania, which can randomly be FF1's Warrior, White Mage, or Black Mage

#

Well, there's also Estinien as a minion if you want to count that for dragoon.

olive sequoia
#

Im new to ff14, but before I even get into the game, why am I downloading this game at .75mb/s

marble drift
#

firewall perhaps?

olive sequoia
#

Nope

hybrid owl
#

are command mission still better xp than normal dungeon?

jade quartz
#

They bypass the queue.

obsidian patio
#

they're pretty comparable from what I remember

#

just remember the inherent seal cost of doing them if you're not loaded on those

manic sentinel
#

what kind of balancing do I need to do notlikegoob

jade quartz
#

That's magical ability not HP

olive sequoia
jade quartz
#

But you needa level your squadron up more.

manic sentinel
#

is it normal that some of their stats are so low? or I messed up something?

jade quartz
#

Have you ever trained them?

manic sentinel
#

you mean the 1 hour team train?

obsidian patio
#

If you want to get all 3 maxed for the highest leveled missions you basically need optimized trainings and good stat chemistries

#

I generally just settle with 2/3 and get all the currency-giving chemistries like Gil/MGP/Scrips/Seals

marble drift
#

saaame

manic sentinel
#

I tried to train them, but whenever I trained a stat , another one lose points

obsidian patio
#

then you're maxed

jade quartz
#

Then you're at stat max.

obsidian patio
#

you move those points around to best fit the squadron you want to send out, or just have a balanced mix of points

manic sentinel
#

so that's normal 🤔

#

I see

jade quartz
#

Once you have everyone at max level it will be easy to get 2/3 stat requirements met every time.

#

The level at which you unlock the tier of missions is a bit misleading.

#

Very difficult to meet the requirements at-level.

manic sentinel
#

Glad I wasn't doing anything wrong

junior tundra
#

how long is the daily frontline queue supposed to take

hoary storm
#

is GNB actually squishier than other tanks?

jade quartz
#

Fractionally.

#

It also does fractionally more damage at high-optimisation levels.

worldly ermine
#

frontline queue should be quick depending on your server's peak times

junior tundra
#

its 7pm in japan

worldly ermine
#

it should be p decent

#

but its actually kinda quicker like around 8-9 pm

manic sentinel
#

it's still not possible to hit Captain and higher rank on you gc right?

marble drift
#

Captain is the max. higher no

junior tundra
#

why cant i use skills in frontlines

twilit arch
#

because frontlines uses pvp skills

#

and you're probably trying to use the pve stuff

#

go into the pvp profile, the pvp skills are in there

lavish breach
#

is it even worth to rush to grind the new ilvl gear since most gets synced anyways?

marble drift
#

it doesn't get synched in all content

#

anything current tier it doesn't sync

lavish breach
#

Ohh so theres alot of content thats like above 480 ilvl?

marble drift
#

yeah

lavish breach
#

ah okay thanks~

leaden ginkgo
#

How long is the MSQ?

#

In hours

marble drift
#

wildly varying

#

skip everything. couple days.

#

actually care about a good story. I'd say at least 5 days

leaden ginkgo
#

5 x 24 hours or just 5 days of casual playing? Because I want to know the sotry

marble drift
#

casual stuff

#

as long as you don't afk at the marketboard for a bunch and are productive with your time

#

but if you wanna know the story, why does it matter how long it is?

tidal yarrow
#

I'm having troubles on locking the right enemy during fights with multiple enemies.. (controller)

#

it seems that after an hit, I lose the lock to my opponent and everytime I have to lock in again the right one and that's kinda annoying

junior tundra
#

is there a guide for pvp rotations

vagrant copper
#

@tidal yarrow You're probably not confirming the lock with X or A or whatever the button is. You're just soft locking the target.

#

There's some option somewhere to turn that behavior off and make all locks hard locks

tidal yarrow
#

ohh! that might be it

#

thank u so much I'll try

dense kraken
#

Reached Heavensward recently, is there value in doing the Bahamut Coil and Crystal Tower raids? I see that there are MSQ changes but would it be more time efficient to solo/undersync it at max level?

lethal schooner
#

For land and housing, if our subscription ran out and we decided to not subs for a month or so, will the land and housing stays?

jovial verge
#

@dense kraken Coil, not so much apart from lore. Crystal Tower is worth doing

vagrant copper
#

You can't really do crystal tower unsynced as it's an alliance raid series

marble drift
#

Its heavily suggested that you finish the crystal tower line.

twilit arch
#

well you can

marble drift
#

so much so that its becoming part of the mandatory MSQ soonish (so sayeth the devs)

dense kraken
#

Thanks, will try out PF then

twilit arch
#

but there's no much reason to unsync CT when its pretty actively gotten from alliance roulette

#

@lethal schooner normally, if you don't enter the house for 45 days, the house would be demolished and the plot put back up for sale. However, currently, the auto demolish timer has been disabled due to the pandemic. That said, finding a plot thats currently open and available for sale is going to be pretty hard because the auto demolish is turned off

lethal schooner
#

Ohh i see.. thanks for the info

ember briar
#

In addition, because of the non-demolition, there is a lot of competition for any plot that comes up for sale during this time. The plot is able to be purchased by a new party only when a random timer expires after the plot is 'available for sale'. This means any interested parties will gather at the plot and button mash the 'purchase' button for anywhere from 30 minutes to 11+ hours just to have a chance at buying.

#

(on popular servers)

stable hinge
#

Is there a move that teammates can use to fling you around?

twilit arch
#

healers have a role action called rescue

#

which pulls the target to them

stable hinge
#

sounds about right

#

I think my healers fucking with me

marble drift
#

we're you supposed to be stacked? people in FF don't like to use words

#

just actions

stable hinge
#

nope

#

I think they just did it to fuck with me

ember briar
#

misclick or pulled you to your death?

kindred nimbus
#

I have a question regarding collectables, I have the same item that they ask but it seems like they dont accept the item for some reason?

twilit arch
#

collectables have a minimum collectability required to be able to turn in

kindred nimbus
#

what does that mean?

twilit arch
#

so if the items isn't at the min. collectability, its useless

#

there is a column in the turn in window that says "collectability", that is the minimum collectability that is being asked for

kindred nimbus
#

oh yeah it says 240

#

oh so I need to check in the item in which it doesnt say anything

#

meaning to say that those need to match or the item has to have a higher value for them to accept it right?

twilit arch
#

yes, the item needs to have 240 collectability or higher

kindred nimbus
#

and that can only be done through crafting?

marble drift
#

or gathering.

twilit arch
#

gatherers have their own set of collectables

marble drift
#

and a completely seperate set of skills just for collectables

kindred nimbus
#

oh alright, does the box next to it mean something? Or just refering to that its a collectable?

stable hinge
#

I didnt die just randomly pulling me out of nowhere

hybrid owl
#

do thing in mog station go on sale like a level boost?

twilit arch
#

yes

hybrid owl
#

is it rare?

twilit arch
#

mogstation sales are pretty rare, yeah

#

like once or twice a year

hybrid owl
#

did one happen this year?

twilit arch
#

well fantasias are on sale right now

hybrid owl
#

i need some level boost 😦

kindred nimbus
#

i need some level boost 😦
@hybrid owl Why? 🙂

hybrid owl
#

idk something about dungeon spamming for the 3rd time just doesnt do it for me

kindred nimbus
#

I see 🙂

warped nest
#

Yeah.... Even if you level boost, you are still stuck with dungeon grind to go from 71 to 80

proven bay
#

There are no MSQs to level from 70 to 80?

hybrid owl
#

true but at least you get to play a better kit to start

silver ruin
#

dude said it was his third class

#

so for him no

#

shadowbringers is 70-80 msq

proven bay
#

Oh, well then it makes sense

hybrid owl
#

but still the prices for level boost are way cheaper compare to wow lmao

proven bay
#

For a second I thought there were no MSQs in the 70-80 range

jade quartz
#

There is MSQ all the way to 80 and beyond.

#

But only once.

leaden ginkgo
#

Are the floor/position markers for raids like eden part of a macro?

#

What is the macro for mouseover?

twilit arch
#

/ac "Action" <mo>

jagged bridge
#

Is palace of the dead still good to powerlvl alts?

faint flare
#

If your dungeon ques are long yes

jagged bridge
#

tyx

silver ruin
#

@leaden ginkgo no you can set them manually once and then save them to save slots for markers (think you get like 3 or 4 save slots, around there)

#

then you justgotta click whatever one you want to show up

small quartz
#

So I guess dungeons are still the #1 method for grinding 70 to 80?

silver ruin
#

yep

small quartz
#

Hoo boy

#

DRG grinding will be fun

warped nest
#

It actually is

#

Once you are lvl 74 or so

oblique yew
#

where do i buy samurai gear from, in the expansinon?

#

do i still go to Rowena's?

dense pier
#

On average, how long do FATEs last?

#

I'm trying to get this FATE for The Lode Warrior but it hasn't spawned

#

I went to do a dungeon, was super fast, still not spawned

warped nest
#

Yes, Samurai has Ironworks stuff

oblique yew
#

i got the lvl 50 one. and upgraded it also.

#

i will be hitting 60 soon

slate arrow
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

You will reach a location called Idyllshire in Dravanian Hinterland at level 59-60 ish in your MSQ

#

You can get your lvl 60 i260 Shire gears there

hybrid owl
#

any idea how long fantasia sale last?

oblique yew
#

oh wow

#

that's long way to go

twilit arch
#

its til june 20th @hybrid owl

hybrid owl
#

ah thanks

uncut girder
#

What is OTM mean in PF?

median locust
#

I can't find a guide explaining it but I'm deducing it's a LR strat and means Orbs Through Middle

tidal yarrow
#

do I show offline If I go afk on the friendlist?

median locust
#

No, you show as AFK

tidal yarrow
#

oh okay

gritty oracle
#

Say, I want to do extreme trials. Does that work the same as savage raids aka you gotta go through learning parties and wipe millions of times while learning each phase?

slate arrow
#

yes

#

fortunately the DPS requirements are miles lower

#

usually only around the first floor of the current tier or so at most

gritty oracle
#

Oh, thanks!

mild ermine
#

Can someone give me an idea of where the tanks currently sit in terms of overall effectiveness, and dps?

median locust
#

They're the most balanced role at the moment and all tanks are pretty much within a few % of DPS

#

So they're all good

mild ermine
#

How about ease of use?

#

Which tank is arguably the least stressful to play and manage while maintaining effectiveness?

warped nest
#

Imo, easiest to hardest in rotation: GNB > WAR > PLD > DRK

#

GNB offensive skills (aside from 1) all fit nicely in a 30/60s schedule

mild ermine
#

I figured DRK would be sitting there, darn. I really want to main DRK, but I'm not going to lie I'm really bad at resource management.

warped nest
#

It is last by comparison

mild ermine
#

And go easy on me here but I'm play casual content 90 percent of the time currently, I want to make the step up though so I'm deciding my main tank now.

slate arrow
#

yeah you have like 3 resources to maintain

warped nest
#

I still don't think it is miles harder than other tanks

slate arrow
#

It's a bit much to not overcap sometimes

warped nest
#

DRK main thing is just the MP

mild ermine
#

Yeah all the guides I've read on DRK have emphasized on not overcapping, but I still do it.

warped nest
#

Darkside shouldn't be an issue once you practice

slate arrow
#

I'm mainly talking about TBN and the free flood of shadow as the third resource

mild ermine
#

I've mostly been using TBN during big pulls, and pairing it with tank buster defensives.

warped nest
#

Do I have yellow sword? Then use one additional Edge

slate arrow
#

imo TBN should give a free flood on hit instead of having to go popped completely

#

anyways yeah all you can do is practice with DRK

marble drift
#

except could you imagine how many Flood's you could get off during mass mini-adds

mild ermine
#

I've never really focused too hard on things like my dps output or optimizing my rotations until now. So I'm unfamiliar with a lot of the terminology, I can't even do my opener properly yet.

slate arrow
#

but then you probably have the best tank in terms of utility

marble drift
#

just fucking hammer that ogcd

#

get like 4-5 off before it expends

mild ermine
#

So admittedly I feel a bit overwhelmed with DRK in comparison to GNB.

slate arrow
#

i mean that would be fun tbh

mild ermine
#

But I still love DRK, for aesthetic, greatsword, and TBN.

marble drift
#

its all practice

mild ermine
#

But how do I know I'm doing it right is the question?

#

GNB is so much more straight forward tbh.

#

And feels more clean.

I mean are all your ogcd's expended

#

and all your cooldowns gone?

#

then hit your main spam. bloodspiller when you have 50

mild ermine
#

Yes.

marble drift
#

keep darkness up

#

end of tutorial. you have now mastered DRK

mild ermine
#

So should I just blow all my offensive ogcds within the Darkside window?

marble drift
#

Nope

#

your line your ogcds with outside damage increases

#

battle litany, divination, brotherhood

hoary storm
#

if i pop something like delirium before raid buff but then raids buffs come after the first blood spiller do still get bonus damage or i missed it for the whole thing?

marble drift
#

delirium just "allows" bloodspiller

#

if you pop delirium, immediately hit bloodspiller

#

then raid buffs are applied

hoary storm
#

yeah i guess this one is a no brainer

median locust
#

@hoary storm The damage comes from Bloodspillers so it still affects them

mild ermine
#

Ah see, so going back to me playing mostly casual content .. I haven't touched a savage raid in a long time. And that was maybe twice, with someone showing me.

marble drift
#

that individiual spiller is without buffs

hoary storm
#

dots dont get buffed after the fact right?

marble drift
#

not to my knowledge

median locust
#

Nope, DoTs snapshot buffs when you put them up or refresh them

mild ermine
#

What do you mean snapshot?

median locust
#

If the buff wasn't there when it was refreshed, it won't get buffed after

#

It checks what buffs are up then applies it over the whole duration

#

So if say, Trick Attack was up when you refreshed it, then all 30 seconds of the DoT will have Trick Attack's 5% damage buff

mild ermine
#

Oh, I guess I kind of already figured a skill won't apply the buff after the fact. Unless there are skills in game that actually do that.

marble drift
#

no some games don't have snapshotting

#

FFXIV does

hello, not sure where to post this. My friend who quit the game for personal reasons decided to gift me an item code about some helm from collector's edition, but when I try to redeem it it tells me that it's in a wrong region.
So I would like to trade my code which seem to be from US for one that is from EU ^^
appreciate any help

pine bluff
#

are allied seals only from hunts?

strange coral
#

You can get them form the BLU carnival too

slate arrow
#

no you can get them from BLU content as well

#

both carnivale and log

pine bluff
#

can you get a lot from that? im trying to collect the flame elite set, it costs ridiculous amounts of seals

slate arrow
#

wait, allied seals or flame seals

#

I'm fairly sure the elite set is flame seals

pine bluff
#

oh

twilit arch
#

no

#

elite set is allied seals

pine bluff
#

nah, allied seals

median locust
#

ye

pine bluff
#

flame seals I got crap tons of

slate arrow
#

ah

#

Well yeah the only way is to grind hunts or BLU

#

Could ask around for S and A ranks but most people solo them nowdays

pine bluff
#

how do you get access to S and A ranks

slate arrow
#

you just do

#

they don't require a hunt bill

warped nest
#

They spawn randomly

median locust
#

They just spawn in the world. A ranks have a timer of 4 to 6 hours and respawn automatically. S-ranks have specific spawn conditions and have timers of multiple days.

strange coral
#

For the seals from carnival, you get a lot initially as you complete each stage the first time (50-100 depending on the stage, and one being 200). After that there are 3 weekly challenge stages that reward a total of 550 (iirc) per week.

jagged bridge
#

In this discord is there a LFG channel. Or shall i just ask in here?

pine bluff
#

oh ok as long as you've hit the target, you get the seals at the end?

median locust
#

It's kinda like Fates, you need to hit it enough to get full credit

slate arrow
#

@gritty lily reinstall directx

pine bluff
#

right ok

median locust
#

Which is way easier in a sizeable party

strange coral
pine bluff
#

ah man, sounds like it'll take more than a month to complete the flame elite set

thx

maybe I'll just go for weathered daystar then

Guide for Masked Carnivale 16 says:
Act 1: Toad Oil, Bristle, Moon Flute, Swiftcast, run up to both Cyclops and Self-destruct
Act 2: Moon Flute, Off-guard, Shock Strike, Glass Dance, Eruption, Bristle, Final Sting

strong sphinx
#

I am playing on Shiva, Light. Should I still select roles for both Chaos and Light to participate in hunt trains in both chaos and light?

green pagoda
#

how does that work? self-destruct disables final sting for 10min

strong sphinx
#

asking this in case of the centurio hunt discord

slate arrow
#

@green pagoda old guide probably

#

looks like that guide was designed for pre 5.1

median locust
#

@strong sphinx You can't world transfer from light to chaos, they're different Data Centers.

#

Or world visit*, not world transfer

oh okay gotcha

You can only world visit between worlds in a single DC

tidal yarrow
#

can somebody help me one sec, I'm so lost since 30 minutes..

slate arrow
#

What's the issue

tidal yarrow
#

I need to go there for msq but I can't find it

slate arrow
#

go to the elevator

median locust
#

Go to the main aetheryte then select Airship landing, it should be there if you have every mini aetheryte attuned

faint flare
#

Talk to the npc by thr elevator

open coral
#

If you go to Pearl Lane (near the Sapphire Exchange) there should be an NPC who will take you to the Airship Landing

slate arrow
#

Near the adventurers guild and the alchemists guild respectively

open coral
#

There is also an airship landing elevator NPC up on the Promenade

tidal yarrow
#

okay I'll try thanks so much

#

oh my god..

#

that was so easy

#

I didn't realize it was an elevator

marble drift
#

there are airships in every city. you'll see them on that quest you're on

median locust
#

Gotta know about it, sometimes

slate arrow
#

It's a small quirk of ARR since the airship zones are actually technically massive due to 1.0 shenanigans

tidal yarrow
#

ul dah is very complicated, it was so hard at the beginning finding where to go

#

I started playing 2 days ago so I knew zero about everything..

Everyone starts somewhere.

Over time you'll either learn from other players, or discover tricks to navigating (among other things) on your own.

not to my knowledge

median locust
#

Nope

marble drift
#

but there are look-a-like pieces

median locust
#

Adamantite are crafted, Ishgardian drop from Dusk Vigil

#

The crafted ones are dyeable

marble drift
#

aymeric's attire is unique iirc

slate arrow
#

also garland tools makes a lot of guesses

marble drift
#

thats not the ward knights attire

twilit arch
#

yes. aymeric's gear is unique but the boots are pretty similar to the dusk vigil/adamantite set

marble drift
#

!itemglam Adamantite sabatons of fending

they dye. can confirm

using em right now

That's what makes it unique, yes

How does Aetherial Reduction work? I want to do it on some collectibles I gathered, but I can't.

gritty oracle
#

Same. Accidentally finished synth on an item with 1 collectability and I want to get my mats back.

median locust
#

Aetherial Reduction is for gatherers, for crafters you're looking at Desynthesis, but I'm pretty sure you can only Desynth actual items, not collectables, unfortunately

twilit arch
#

assuming its a normal collectable and not like ishgard collectable, can just reduce quality and desynth

It only goes up to 11 currently. It's up to the devs if they want to make use of 12.

vocal star
#

can i keep representing myself in the fashion report to get more points? (not gil)

jade quartz
#

@vocal star you can get the participation MGP reward once per week, and the 80+ points MGP reward once per week.

#

If you get the participation reward on your first showing, you can use your three remaining attempts to try to get the 80+ reward as well

vocal star
#

not talking about mgp

#

about point

median locust
#

@vocal star If you try at first and don't get 80 points, you can try I think 3 more times for 80 points. Once per week.

jade quartz
#

Oh like cumulative points for unlocking more stuff in the shop?

vocal star
#

i want to unlock the spring bottoms from the shot

#

shop*

jade quartz
#

I believe it's the same thing

#

The highest score you get out of all your attempts

vocal star
#

so i can abuse the fashion report with 80_?

jade quartz
#

is the one that counts for that week.

#

You can't just get judged four times in a row for four times the shop progress.

green pagoda
#

is there a dedicated Discord for BLU? Some1 just mentioned it in my grp but asking about it he doesnt answer

jade quartz
tidal yarrow
#

what are flowers for?

median locust
#

Which?

deft hound
#

I am not sure if this is the place to ask for questions regarding my account and logging in?

tidal yarrow
#

there is a lady named Maisenta selling different variety of flowers and was wondering what it's their purpose

deft hound
#

but my question is, anyone having or had issues with "ID or Password is incorrect"? I get that error when I try to log into the game. But I am able to log into Mog Station with the exact same details.

polar hound
#

Leave the one time password empty

median locust
#

When I look online it doesn't say Maisenta sells flowers, she sells racial gear and some other stuff. Can you give me the name of one of these flowers, maybe?

jade quartz
#

@tidal yarrow you must mean Tanie the Florist. The cloves are a cooking ingredient, the carnations are used to craft a few housing items, and the Dimension Castle items and Gridanian bouquet are housing items on their own. The rest of what she sells are all soils and seeds for growing your own flowers in garden plots/flowerpots in player housing.

deft hound
#

Leave the one time password empty
@polar hound The OTP is always empty as I never use it

tidal yarrow
#

@jade quartz ohh... okay

#

damn u can do so many different things on this game

median locust
#

You can't downgrade, DX11 just works even if you have DX12 installed

strange coral
#

@gritty lily Windows 10 comes with dx11

#

Update your video drivers

#

If that doesn't work I highly recommend reinstalling Windows 10 fresh if you can. Upgrading from older versions of Windows tends to cause unusual issues.

#

Although that's getting away from game-specific issues, so #technology-discussion would be a better place to discuss it.

tidal yarrow
#

oh yeah Tanie

#

u were right, thanks!

how long does preferred server xp boost last ? Im just starting the game planning on going EU/Light/Zodiark, so I wonder for how long can I count on the 100% xp buff.

median locust
#

90 days starting when you first create your character

viral tangle
#

thank you

twilit arch
#

if the server remains preferred after those 90 days, you'll still have the buff until it ceases to be preferred

median locust
#

Thanks for the precision, I thought that was the case but couldn't find anything about it

leaden ginkgo
#

do you have to do all the old 24 mans in order to do ivalice?

median locust

Nope, just have Stormblood completed

twilit arch
#

no

leaden ginkgo
#

ok thank good

viral tangle
#

how do they chose which server gets the buff ? I thought it was the one with least population, but if the data on https://ffxivcensus.com/ is correct Zodiarks seems to be in top 3 most active servers right now, maybe cause of the buff ? and was dead before 😄

proud monolith
#

What should i be getting with yellow gathering scrips?

twilit arch
#

i would not recommend taking data from ffxivcensus

#

especially the active section, as their method of showing activity is very poor

vestal nymph
#

Any tips on purchasing a house?

fresh lodge
#

Wait for auto demo to come back on

#

You're odds of getting a house now are extremely low

#

Otherwise you can just camp the sign for hours

vestal nymph
#

What's auto demo still new to the game.

twilit arch
#

preferred servers are chosen by SE on servers that are in need of a population boost. we don't know the exact details though

jade quartz
#

Only SE has accurate population numbers.

#

All fan censuses come with caveats.

fresh lodge
#

If someone hasn't entered their house for 45 days its automatically demolished and made open to buy after a random time frame

Ah I see thanks much appreciated

But they froze that because of the virus.

#

Is there a limit to how many friends you can recruit? I think the website says five

jade quartz
#

Nope

#

But it stops giving rewards for no. of friends recruited after 5.

#

Though even after that you'll still get rewards for the amount of time each of your recruits continues subbing for.

#

At certain thresholds.

Okay interesting, thanks

Does anyone know if it's possible to sub with an NA account even though you live in Europe and have a European bank account and debit card?

I had to make my NA account through a roundabout way to be able to play NA from EU, so idk if payment is going to be an issue

fresh lodge
#

Btw you can play on NA servers with an EU account

proven bay
#

Didn't realize that

fresh lodge
proven bay

Anyway, am I correct in assuming payment's fine then?

What region your account is doesn't limit your servers

I'm not sure if payment is restricted tbh

why does my character sit sideways on a horse mount?

well its only two

So no one knows if payment's restricted or not? Guess I'll have to figure it out myself. Thanks anyway AYAYA

oblique yew
#

is the speed of all the mounts the same?

median locust
#

Yes, the only exception is Cloud's Bike from Mogstation which has lv1 speed from the get-go without having to unlock it (that's usually unlocked by MSQ)

fresh lodge
#

Yes, though Cloud's bike starts off with the first speed boost which is gotten through the MSQ

oblique yew
#

for me kirin feels a bit sslower than a chocobo

twilit arch
#

the size of the mount can make it feel slower

#

But its not, with exception as already mentioned

#

is there a point in doing relics ? since you can buy them now ?

You cant directly buy relics, you gotta do the quest line for them and get whatever stuff they need

I can’t seem to get the challenge log unlocked. I can’t see the quest rising to the challenge or call of the sea

silk yew
#

So i feel dumb, but when you die on sch and get res, which heal would be stronger to get you to at least 80%? I'm too use to ast

twilit arch
#

lustrate

#

but thats going to eat one of your aetherflow stacks

#

so probably just better to adlo yourself

silk yew
#

Ah.. i was hoping for something without a step. Im just struggling in e5s and my cohealer wasn't helping me heal up

spice stratus
#

Are you alone as a healer?
If yes -> Adlo or Lustrate
If not -> do exactly NOTHING for the next 10s, see if your co healer heals you up, and wait out the invincibility frames

silk yew
#

No my last 2 cohealers in e5s practice res me and don't heal me up so I panic and figured I was doing wrong since I dont have fairy

spice stratus
#

Nay, your best choice of action when getting rezzed is to do nothing. I am dead serious. You get a window of invincibility that protects you. Doing nothing keeps you sheltered long enough that your co healer may heal you up.

#

If they don't, they might not be paying attention as much as they should.....

slate arrow
#

*doing nothing except moving

silk yew
#

After a few wipes, I noticed that when i get res by either the whm or rdm, they throw a regen on me and go back to dps

slate arrow
#

well that's just rude

silk yew
#

90% of the time the rdm res me and i get 0 healing.

rich bay
#

There is indeed a 4s 0 damage timer after raising if you don't execute any action.

But many players don't know that and they get KO'ed fast again because they wanted to attack almost directly, i call that greedy DPS.

silk yew
#

They even told dps who had some kind of heal to top themselves off..lol

honest ocean
#

For cross world linkshells .. can u create more than one? What’s the limit on number of players? And is it true there’s a 2 week no login-period where it disbands?

jade quartz
#
  • Up to 8 cwls
  • 64 players max in a cwls
  • No, but if a cwls has only one member then it will be disbanded after 24hrs.
rich bay
#

What i do normaly in E5S as WHM is raising and use one of the instant heal skills to heal that player, because a regen is not enough.
Because i know about that timer myself ofc.
If a player think a regen is enough in savage, they are not suitable for it (yet).

@silk yew

@jade quartz thanks

Nope, you do them once and you're done

@fossil basin one time only yes

When I look in my journal of completed quest for “rising to the challenge”, it says there’s no matching quests. But it won’t let me do the quest as it’s not shown on my map

@leaden ginkgo

Check if you can access the challenge log, if so you already completed it.

wintry chasm
#

is it actually in your accepted quests buried somewhere in your journal but just not completed?

leaden ginkgo
#

if i become a dark knight ( quest at lvl 30), do i start over as a lvl 1 dark knight?

junior yacht
#

no

#

DRK starts at 30

wintry chasm
#

Level 30

leaden ginkgo
#

so all skills up to 30, ill have?

wintry chasm
#

Yep

junior yacht
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

but itll be its own class, i wont be able to use my marauder specific skills if im currently a dark knight, right?

junior yacht
#

correct

wintry chasm
#

Right

junior yacht
#

it does have the same Role Actions though

leaden ginkgo
#

so if i become a samurai at lvl 50, same concept?

junior yacht
#

yes

wintry chasm
#

It'd start at 50 but yes

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you so much!

wintry chasm
#

Heavensward jobs start at level 30, Stormblood jobs start at 50, Shadowbringer jobs start at 60

leaden ginkgo
#

is there any benefit to leveling different classes.. such as a samurai+ white mage

#

on one character

#

can we swap between them during raids/instances/dungeons or w.e

#

or just outside PVE

wintry chasm
#

Not during no

short belfry
#

Hi, I'm new! I should first play the story of the original game before getting expansions, I presume? Is there a guide for a complete newbie on what content to play through?

leaden ginkgo
#

but itll make sense to lvl your main char through MSP, as the most of the exp will be there?

#

Hi, I'm new! I should first play the story of the original game before getting expansions, I presume? Is there a guide for a complete newbie on what content to play through?
@short belfry i just joined too! i just started playing the story as is

wintry chasm
#

It's probably quicker to level up through other means but yes you should do MSQ first for leveling since everything is locked behind it in some fashion

short belfry
#

Focus on gold and purple color quests right?

forest laurel
#

focus on those

wintry chasm
#

Outside of just being able to go into content as any role the only other nice thing I can think of for leveling more than one class is that sometimes the dialogue in quests can change with what job you're playing/have levelled.

leaden ginkgo
#

thats what ive been doing, but also do the random side ones if the equip/gil is nice

wintry chasm
#

Honestly if you do all the bluequest except other class unlocks, leves, or optional dungeons (though I'd still recommend doing some) that's fine. Really I'd say the important ones are the class quests, the system unlock stuff, raids, trial series.

leaden ginkgo
#

and end game is clearing all the raids/trials so you can farm the tougher ones later? or what

wintry chasm
#

The issue with "do all the bluequest " is that when you hit 50/60/70 you get A LOT of optional dungeons

#

Sure, end game is just doing the hard content ¯_(ツ)_/¯

#

and fashion

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I get a Chocbo that can fight?

wintry chasm
#

Once you unlocked your chocobo as a mount and you are level 30 there should be a side quest in Bentbranch meadows to unlock them to fight

#

It should be appearing under your MSQ tracker at that point

leaden ginkgo
#

I’ve completed that - how do I get it to actually be beside me?

wintry chasm
#

oh

#

use a gyshal green

leaden ginkgo
#

rob in your opinion, whats the best tank to use

#

for pure tanking, diverting dmg

#

paladin?

leaden ginkgo
#

Lol

#

Its my first day man its overwhelming 😂

wintry chasm
#

When you describe it like that yeah I guess Paladin. They do have a lot of just damage reduction buffs. Warrior has more just healing through damage, Dark Knight has a really meaty shield they can put on people that's really good actually

junior yacht
#

Paladin is probably the "safest" tank in terms of how much punishment they can take

wintry chasm
#

and Gunbreaker is also fairly buffy

#

I disagree JET

leaden ginkgo
#

i was just looking at gunbraeker too

wintry chasm
#

I don't think PLD is really "safest"

#

It's definitely what I'd say is the most "this is what I expected from a tank"

#

But like, it's not more lenient

#

Outside of Hallowed Ground

knotty tartan
#

Does anyone know if I can buy the game and keep playing my free trial

#

Like buy it but not load it

wintry chasm
#

Where from?

knotty tartan
#

Ps4

wintry chasm
#

uhhhhhhhhhhh

fresh lodge
#

Not digitally

wintry chasm
#

Yeah...

fresh lodge
#

It will automatically redeem itself when you log in

wintry chasm
#

If you do it from the PS store it'll automatically apply the game

#

If you get like, a physical version that's fine since you have to manually add a code

#

Basically, so long as you aren't registering the game you can buy it and still use the free trial

knotty tartan
#

Ok. Its on sale right now and I wanted to play with all the classes before committing to one

#

But I guess I'll just keep running PLD

jade quartz
#

I mean

#

You never have to commit to one

#

You’re always free to change any time.

#

Classes lower-level than your highest class gain exp at a 2x rate (1.5x after 70)

#

And leveling isn’t too sloggy anyhow.

knotty tartan
#

Yeah i understand that I've got paladin to 35 and summoner/scholar to 31 and half way through rogue right now. Was just wanting to find the best fit for me before buying

#

Right now PLD is my favorite but I didn't want to miss something cause I got comfortable with one class

leaden ginkgo
#

Classes lower-level than your highest class gain exp at a 2x rate (1.5x after 70)
@jade quartz this applies to all servers?

knotty tartan
#

Yes

jade quartz
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

and is there a master storage between characters?

jade quartz
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you

jade quartz
#

Making alts is not really supported or encouraged by the game mechanics

muted blade
#

is there a weekly limit on Normal Eden Verse raids loot?

jade quartz
#

Because there’s no need for alts except to play with people in other datacentres.

#

Or like, RP alts

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah i just want to start over (warrior--> Pld) and wanted to transfer over some items

#

like my noob ring for 30% exp

jade quartz
#

Ohhhhhh was your first question about that too?

forest laurel
#

ye there's a weekly limit on edenverse gear

#

only 1 piece from each raid for the week

jade quartz
#

If you create a new character it will not receive 200% bonus from your higher-level first character.

muted blade
#

that counts in both normal and Savage mode? @forest laurel

jade quartz
#

Separate characters do not affect or interact with each other.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ohh you mean

jade quartz
#

No special benefits for your alt characters.

leaden ginkgo
#

another class

jade quartz
#

Yes.

#

On the same character.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ahh okay

muted blade
#

my "Master storage" between alts is the FC box , i made my own FC and the only members are friends and alts lol

forest laurel
#

normal and savage are separate afaik

muted blade
#

i see thanks alot Seenoc

jade quartz
#

Normal and savage loot lockouts have no interaction with each other

#

@leaden ginkgo @ class lvl 10 you can switch to other classes

#

As a newbie, at what level do I need to buy an expansion?

proven bay
#

ARR is capped at 50

#

Free trial at 35

twilit arch
#

you need Master Weaver VI book to craft it @opaque anvil

jade quartz
#

@opaque anvil requires the recipe book Master Weaver VI, purchasable from scrip exchange in any major hub or city for 400 yellow crafters scrips

twilit arch
#

book can be purchased with yellow scrips

opaque anvil
#

ahhh damn

jade quartz
#

You consume the book to permanently unlock a set of recipes in your log.

#

It’s VI actually

question about healing in alliance raids, do my aoe heals only affect my group? group A for example

jade quartz
#

Kael and I both typoed haha

twilit arch
#

fingers typed too fast, brain didnt proof read quickly enough -_-

#

yes, Aoe healing is only for your party

#

generally, shouldn't need to heal the other alliances unless their healers are dead which you should be prioritizing raising the healers

When do I worry about relic weapons?

wet cradle
#

can you earn/buy the hairstyle of hien?

median locust
#

The pre-lv80 ones are only for Glamour so only make them if you like how they look.
The lv80 ones are actually good weapons and super easy to get, so you should go for them as soon as you can.

#

And nope, can't get Hien's hairstyle.

wet cradle
#

damn

azure kettle
#

So don't worry about them till lvl80, ok ty

#

And are they the best weps?

median locust
#

No, but their item level is really good for how easy they are to get

wet crystal
#

Is there a legit solo leveling guide for BLU somewhere? Having trouble finding a good pace...

azure kettle
#

Ok, so a good starting point

barren merlin
#

At the moment, the newest relics fall a little short from the absolute current best weapons, but they are much easier to get than the current best

#

Only requiring 1000x tomestones of poetics

median locust
#

And free for the first one!

barren merlin
#

^ That too

median locust
#

You need to complete the lv70 24-man raids (Return to Ivalice) and the Shadowbringers MSQ, then it's a short questline away

open coral
#

@wet crystal The BLU discords might have one, but the best way that I've found to solo level BLU is to simply go around collecting the non-instance-based spells with your chocobo companion to help do damage and keep you alive until you can earn the White Wind spell.

barren merlin
#

TimeWizud, you'll normally want to progress with on-level monsters, which you'll track and locate in ARR & HW expansions... but if you have a friend that can provide really big shields (like a level 80 scholar/astrologian) you can go around hitting high level mobs and let them kill the mobs for you, while you both are playing solo and not in a party. That is if you want to cheese levels.

#

If you're going the on-level route, there are guides on where to get specific spells, in which you'll need a certain amount to get new spells from an NPC

#

And yes, get your chocobo fighting with you honk

wet cradle
#

are my settings just messed up or is hien's dress just super pixelated?

jade quartz
#

Hien’s outfit is just like that

wet cradle
#

square wtf xD

#

thanks

jade quartz
#

There are some yikes textures in this game sometimes 😔

#

You may have also noticed ||Raubahn’s arm cape thing||

#

yeah I noticed oof

#

thanks

#

Hello, i am wondering: can i cast glamour multiple times? If I cast a glamour onto my gloves but want it on another pair of gloves, can I revert it later on?

barren merlin
#

You can!

jade quartz
#

Yeah total freedom

#

Can undo or change as much as you want

open coral
#

You can cast any glamour as many times as you have the glamour prisms to do so

jade quartz
#

Only costs glamour prisms

open coral
#

Or for free if you put it on a glamour plate

barren merlin
#

As long as you have glamour prisms and glamour dispellers, you can do anything.

jade quartz
#

Or nothing if it’s in the dresser yeah

viral tangle
#

Is there a keybind to select the closest friendly NPC ? Last time I played the game wasn't this filled with bots... They are everywhere in beginner zones and they are blocking quest NPCs it takes me a while to target the quest givers 😦 How come they aren't doing something about this ?

leaden ginkgo
#

thank you :3

jade quartz
#

@viral tangle default is numpad 0

viral tangle
#

tnx

jade quartz
#

Bots are banned in regular waves. They’re not usually a very common sight, especially not to the degree that they’d actually be able to block view of a quest NPC

#

That’s very unusual

barren merlin
#

Normally what you described is a big patch day problem

viral tangle
#

I started a lancer, in Gridania on the prefered server there are like 5-6 bots around every npc 😄

barren merlin
#

Where everyone rushes an npc on the first hour LOL

open coral
#

Are you sure they're bots and not... actual players?

jade quartz
#

^

viral tangle
#

Yea they have random characters names and move like teleporting lol

jade quartz
#

That’s very weird

open coral
#

They just did a big ban wave the other day.

jade quartz
#

Usually if you do see bots they’d all be stacked up on the same space and definitely wouldn’t obscure access to an NPC

#

Wouldn’t be crowding around

viral tangle
#

when I go back outside I will take a picture 🙂 I mean they don't bother me now when I know I can use the keyboard to select NPCs, and since there is no mob tagging in the game, they can't steal xp from you 🙂

stark shale
#

Does using a Fantasia include a name change, or does that have to be purchased separately?

barren merlin
#

Separately!

twilit arch
#

that is a separate purchase

stark shale
#

ty

viral tangle
#

These are just a few, if you stand there for a while sometimes even more show up 😄 Since they just teleport in and teleport out in a second 🙂

wintry chasm
#

Bots

#

Glare them, report them, carry on

tidal yarrow
#

is there any problems on mogstation about purchasing?

#

a friend of mine can't purchase anything it gives him error

wintry chasm
#

Could be some sort of card issue or connection thing?

#

What error code is it? 2501?

tidal yarrow
#

oh probably yeah, just wanted to make sure it's his fault and not server related or something

mossy tartan
#

Is it possible to add more slots for materia in a gear piece?

faint flare
#

Crafted gear can hold a total of 5 materis

wintry chasm
#

slots no but you can overmeld materia past however many slots your gear has to a max of 5

mossy tartan
#

How can I overmeld?

faint flare
#

Crafters

wintry chasm
#

Level up crafting or find someone else who has

mossy tartan
#

My weaving is level 60. Is it enough?

wintry chasm
#

Depends on the gear

clever cave
#

depends on the item youre trying to meld

wintry chasm
#

^

tidal yarrow
#

I asked for what error is giving him

faint flare
#

Note only crafted gear can be overmelded. Tome and raid gear cant br overmelded

mossy tartan
#

It’s a neo-ishgardian gear set, so I guess nope

clever cave
#

if its lvl 80, you need lvl 80 crafter

faint flare
#

You need lv80 crafters for lc80

wintry chasm
#

Good point Vinyl

clever cave
#

you also need to complete the advanced materia quest i think?

faint flare
#

Crafters have to be equal level to the gesr

wintry chasm
#

Yeah but that's a non issue really Mada

clever cave
#

ye

mossy tartan
#

didn’t finish that advanced materia, will check it out

#

anyways, thank you, time to level weaving again

clever cave
#

have funs

faint flare
#

You can have others overmeld for you by using Request meld

muted blade
#

is memoria Misera weekly gated?

wet crystal
#

Had this problem last night. I kept hitting M until the map came up, then closed the signs window. That fixed it...

median locust
#

@muted blade Extremes are not weekly gated

muted blade
#

oh cool

leaden ginkgo
#

@wet crystal Now it just fixed itself. thanks

wintry chasm
#

Yeah the big issue with that is that code is really generic and it could be a number of things? @tidal yarrow

twilit arch
#

@tidal yarrow i2501 is a very broad error that can be hard to find a fix for. Some common solutions are: turn off vpn if using one, try a different browser, try using mobile data

tidal yarrow
#

oh okay..

#

thank you ! :)

twilit arch
#

sometimes it can fix itself in a day or two, but if none of those work then probably have to contact support

wintry chasm
#

Kael don't we have a generic "try these steps" faq post for this?

twilit arch
#

no, but probably could make one

wintry chasm
#

If you know a good resource please

twilit arch
#

i mean there's no resource specifically for it, just a general thing i've picked up from several various posts about it

lavish jackal
#

Hey all, just picked this game up and have been leveling with a friend who can't play much. If I were to keep leveling, can I level a 2nd job with them and still do the story quests or are those one time only?

twilit arch
#

sure you can grab a second class to keep at a lower level to make sure you're around your friend's level

#

but the main scenario quests are one and done though

lavish jackal
#

Will that make it difficult to stay within the same level range as one another or not much?

twilit arch
#

for instances, it doesn't matter that much because you'll be level sync'd down

#

but for open world, it does matter because if there's too much of a level difference you won't get any exp when you kill mobs

lavish jackal
#

Awesome, appreciate the answers! I may just start a 2nd character to keep the story available on the ones we are playing together. Unless that is a terrible idea lol

muted blade
#

is getting the Crystarium weapons still a 7 week grind ?

#

did they made it better on 4.25?

gritty oracle
#

crystarium weapons?

twilit arch
#

eh, i mean its up to you. making a second character solely to do story with them isn't the worst idea, but i personally would probably just use a second job instead of a second character

muted blade
#

Allegory tomestone weapons

twilit arch
#

yes you still need 7 blades for the crystarium tomestone

dusky echo
#

500 weapons require 1000 tomestones and a raid dungeon drop

median locust
#

It still takes 7 weeks yes, unless you can get the tomestone from E6 Savage, then all you need is 1000 Allegory

muted blade
#

ugh... 7 weeks... 5.3 is coming sooner x.x

#

OH

#

wait so Edens Verse : Furor has the tomestone?

twilit arch
#

yes

muted blade
#

interesting

twilit arch
#

the tomestone itself is a drop from savage

muted blade
#

any savage?

faint flare
#

Only furor savage

twilit arch
#

no, its specifically e6

muted blade
#

ah

#

damn intersting

faint flare
#

Its how raiders get allegory weapons week 3

dusky echo
#

honestly with a neo-ishgard set and a whole lot of practice you're set to get one

muted blade
#

wait so.... if i roll for a tomestone in Eden savage , does it count as my loot for the week?

faint flare
#

Savage and normal loot is seperate

#

And you can loot as much as you want in savage

twilit arch
#

just clearing the floor for the week counts will lock you out of loot, for savage

faint flare
#

On your weekly clear

twilit arch
#

so either you can win everything

#

or win nothing

#

but once you've cleared the fight, you will not be able to roll on any loot regardless if you go back in a second time

muted blade
#

OH

faint flare
#

And penalises chests for others

muted blade
#

so you can win everything on that clear but just win the fight once with prize.

faint flare
#

In addition, if you skip flooors, you're unable to go back to the skipped floors for loot

jade quartz
#

You get one chance to roll per week.

faint flare
#

You must go in order if you want full loot

muted blade
#

if i roll 90s on everything , i can get everything hypothetically?

faint flare
#

Yes

jade quartz
#

Yep

twilit arch
#

assuming no one rolls higher, sure

muted blade
#

wow

open coral
#

Hypothetically, sure

faint flare
#

Be a greedy loot gremlin but yes

median locust
#

But if you roll 5 on everything, too bad, better luck next week

jade quartz
#

Though if you’re with a static then you may decide to divvy up loot among people to be fair and bring up ilvl party-wide/get People their BiS.

muted blade
#

interesting

I just got a sylph quest "The Magitek Menace" that requires me to do a fate. Can I force spawn it somehow or do I have to wait until it naturally spawns?

twilit arch
#

you can try clearing out other fates to help get it to spawn, since there can only be so many fates up at once

#

but there is no way to force a specific fate to spawn

magic light
#

ast question, for earthly star, do i have to manually detonate giant dominance

gritty oracle

it will auto detonate after 20

no, you can let it pop on its own

jade quartz

Manual detonation is if you want it earlier.

safe niche
#

Is there a way I can change my race or I have to buy this for real money ?

faint flare
#

You get a free fantasia when you complete base 2.0

#

Which lets you change race

#

Further fantasias need to be brought with real money

median locust
#

@gritty oracle You can also World Visit another server and see if they have it up. Quest Fates usually don't take that long to pop, though.

#

cutscenes yes so long as there isn't a dialogue choice in it

little swift
#

How do I get the best items
Do they level or something?
@midnight slate sending your retainers out on ventures awards them with exp. they can level as high as the max level of the job you have assigned them. after that, the pool of items and ventures you can send them out on is based on their ilvl (for combat) and gathering stat (for gatherers)
