I don't have that option on my screen it's weird.
Have you selected "Job Gauge" in the HUD menu and clicked the little cog icon?
Nope, in Extremes or Savages, people usually read guides first and expect others to do the same
🥺
So unless you're clearly saying "BLIND Learning party" in your party finder, read a guide :p
okie thanks
or watch a guide, whichever you prefer of course
but i480 is okay or meh?
its how they did the world first clear
found it! it was Oath gauge
so yeah its fine
tysm everyone.
Good enough to run most fights and even start this Savage tier
PFs for later fights might expect iLv490 though, especially this late in the tier
Just cap your Allegory every week and you'll eventually get there. One step at a time :p
😢
your best in slot gear set
will feature crystarium gear
that has been augmented with things that drop in savage
allegory is not optional for savage raiding
Do you have your iLv485 relic? @reef reef
Nope I just googled it haha
If not, that should be the first thing you get
im doing full neo-ish
Clear the lv70 24-man raids, then pick up the sidequest for them in Kugane
People say relic is very grindy?
It's literally a free iLv485 weapon with 5 materia slots if you can go through a sidequest
Not this step.
Takes like half an hour
oh
Upgrading it in later patches might be grindy, but it's really not right now
so it will get stronger along with the update?
oh nice
it seems kinda bad for only 5lvl higher than allegory one
wait not even
Allegory one is 490 and requires 1000 Allegory + clearing E8 normal 7 weeks in a row
^
OR clearing E6S once and winning the tomestone
then it only requires that drop and a 1000 allegory
Also a small note, the first iLv485 weapon is 100% free, next ones will cost 1000 poetics each
Are those savage super unforgiving?
If you compare them to normal mode raids, yes
so missed a damage reduction or messed up opener will cause a wipe most likely?
no
Not thaaat bad
Someone being dead on the floor for most of the fight won't make you fail in normal mode, but in Savage it will
how hard is it to start playing tank when you are used to healing/dps
missed damage reduction might cause a wipe
I consider myself a casual player but I'm open to more challenging stuff
I wanna improve myself as AST
Don't feel discouraged from trying it. They're worth everyone at least trying.
Savages aren't mandatory you'll get i500 through the next patch
Then wait for the next major patch. You'll be able to upgrade Allegory gear to iLv500 by doing the new Alliance raid
how hard is it to start playing tank when you are used to healing/dps
@tardy hollow not bad, especially now pulling is easy
Catch up mechanics allow you to reach the same ilvl
i just dont wanna mess up and embarrass myself aha
Put up a learning party
But in next patch there are even higher ilvl gears then no?
@reef reef Nope, not next patch. Next patch is only catch up gear
5.4 will have the final tier
No, the following patch will introduce higher
Savage gear from the current patch will stay the best, along with augmented allegory gear
i just dont wanna mess up and embarrass myself aha
@tardy hollow I was a dps then started playing tank mainly, just start at low level dungeon and work your way up
I see
no worries dude it took me like a month's worth of weekly 2-hour memoria sessions to get a clear
good!!!
Dont we get a buff if we get wiped multiple times?
yeah, don't go in doubting yourself
THEN you can focus on improving your gameplay
no, not for current tier
@reef reef Not in recently released fights
🥺
I see
Sooo Ima start maxing out allegory and get the relic for now
i just hit 80 and finished SHB
@tardy hollow I was a dps then started playing tank mainly, just start at low level dungeon and work your way up
@reef reef thanks for the help, think i might run an easy dungeon with my fc and take it slow
What tank are you choosing?
Probably DRK, it looks the coolest
if you are doing lvl 16 to start, basically just have grit on and unleash when u have 3+ mobs on you or just 1-2 combo if you have 2- mobs
At level 30 you will start to use mana but its straight forward
how do i save progess in potd
finish 10 floors
I got used to healer fast after switching from dps, it just seemed daunting at first
Progress is saved every 10 floors
i get this at floor 10
Thats for pomanders
see how it says "Record progress"
"Record progress and leave the area?"
Pomanders aren't saved in matched parties
aha
no its actually meaning the sacks Vinyl
Plus you might have a full inventory and cant receive the accursed horde sacks
if you enter potd with a full inventory, you get no sacks
this?
ye
Just make sure you have room in your inventory to get these, that's all it means
what server should i choose?
A server in your area, if you're in NA, that means any server in Aether, Primal or Crystal datacenters
Pick a Preferred server if you can
doesn't really matter, but preferably in your region
The only two "noteworthy" servers are Bamung and Mateus, which are the "unofficial" RP servers
How many Umbrites will I need for one crystal sand quest?
hmm
get to the stage and buy as you need
if you buy too many, thats fine
you'll do another anima
don't even kid around. you will. :3
lol, for real. They're such good weapons. I have five of them.
from what lvl miner will I be able to see 75-80 nodes in the gathering log?
currently 72 and I thought it shows 3 levels above, but can't see it
I play on ps4 and use pad, i main dark knight, i was wondering if theirs a way to place skills on screen, not on the cross hotbar, so i can keep track of cooldowns easier
Yo real quick
Wheres a location on the map in realm reborn that has like a lvl 50 dummy
Or lvl 40
Sumtin that will let me practice on it and not die right away
Central Shroud has lv1 dummies
iirc there are some appropriate level dummies in Costa Del Sol?
I could be misremembering
Oh ok
Yeah dummies just go back to full HP when they get to 0
Idk figured it was like a mmo ive played before
Anyways tho... could u guys give me map location?
@paper barn yes. Turn on a normal hotbar and drag skills to it via the virtual mouse or using the touchpad as a mouse
Summerford farms
For the easiest dummies
Literally next to the aetheryte
Limsa
Middle la noscea
You have a teleport to it
you should make it a priority to get all aetherytes as soon as you see them
Ok i didnt have it yet im going there now thx!
Learning dancer is ganna be tough :>!
[PLD Sprout] Does Sheltron only block auto attack damage for 4 seconds? I used it when I couldn't leave an aoe circle but I still took damage.
Is there a way to get rid of the empty hotbar spot? I have 6 skills i want on screen but that leaves 6 empty gray boxes on screen
Sentinel mitigates damage for 15seconds
!action Sentinel
Character config > hotbar > turn off unused slots
15 in fact
It doesn't turn damage to 0
I meant sheltron, sorry
Yes it blocks all attacks for 4sec, a block is roughly 18% mitigation
oh
Give or take depending on shield
me dummy thought it blocks all damage from AAs
It gets buffed to 6s via trait later
It just gives you 100% block rate
For the duration
so should I always keep it rolling in AA heavy phases (like trash or between boss mechs) as oath points allow?
You use it like a normal cooldown
Sweet thanks.
think of it this way. they're hitting your shield, of which you are holding up
Its paladin short defensive cooldown akin to Heart of stone, raw intuition etc
Its spammable and should be used frequently to your and your party's benefit
It takes roughly 30ish seconds to build gauge due to rate of auto attacks
Cover and divine veil have more specific uses
Is it easier to solo extreme primal fights as tank or dps? I want to farm the nightmare mount but I've read dps isn't a good class for soloing boss fights because of health regeneration
For ARR, it doesn't really matter. You kill the fights before it matters.
Plus I'm bard and I don't know if it has good damage output for soloing

Assuming you're 80 and have OK gear
For HW it'll be harder depending on the trial so I'd go in as tank or a class with sustain like red mage
i know i asked a million times but just to recap bc i was hella tired last night ... when i get neo ish ( i have it now ) i should start melding right ? and the best way to get level 8 materia is ... ?
and last but not least the best gear then comes from tomes and savage ?
Allegory tomestones and current Savage fights, yes
for several of the later HW exs, pld is the safest choice
Best way to get tier 8 materia is to join a hunt train, where they kill every A-rank Shadowbringers hunts in order. Every A-rank has a roughly 50% chance to drop a Stellacluster, plus they all give you Sacks of Nuts which you can use to get materia as well.
because of hallowed
a good way to get materia is roulettes, they offer cracked stellaclusters and planiclusters that can be traded for grade 7 and 8 materia
where can I find soot black dye?
marketboard or craft from grey pigment
Craft, marketboard, or ixali vendor if you have the rep high enough
someone told me I could sell phantasmagoria tomestones, is that true?
ok and is full allegory the best right now or raid gear from savage
you buy crafting materials with phantasmagoria and sell those
okay thx
is what people mean by selling phanta
Augmented Allegory and Savage. It's a mix of the two to get the best substats for your class
To Augment Allegory, you need to do savage, or wait until you can get the upgrade items from the new 24-man raid that's coming out in 5.3
Can also get them from hunts iirc but they're super expensive
ok i am loving the grind i’m hearing lol
it just seems crazy that everyone has most of this stuff but they have beaten SHB months ago lol
It's not that grindy, it's just a matter of capping your Allegory every week
and clearing Savage if you do that
i got my 485 relic wepaon now, i could actually slot in materia 8 now, right?
Yes
im 460ilvl on DRK
You'll have it for awhile
Tier 8 in all five slots works, ye
i know that there is a priority in melding but im still not sure what to slot into that weapon tho
You follow your priority
For any piece
Which would be comfy sks > crit > dh > det
If you dont need sks then do crit until crit is capped/would get overcapped then do dh
I think its like 2 crit and 3 dh
ahhh oaky now i got it, so it means you can slot in endlessly some form of materia, so it has a cap?
for examplpe, i slot in crit as much as i can , then i go down the prio and slot that in till cap?
Through any means
Yep
Thats how melding priority works
You can only fit in 5
With your 5 slots
alright and comfy sks means i shouldnt really cap it but find a sweet spot for me?
yeah
@strong sphinx there are some recommended skill speed tiers from the balance that are "optimal" for you to use, but you're not forced to go to those if you're comfortable where you are
Remember you're aiming for enough skill speed for at least 5 bloodspillers from a single delirium activation
Should I get boots/gloves today or my robe later in a week for crystarium? (Blm upgrading from neo ishgardian)
Robe
alright will keep that in mind!
Chest/legs provide note main stat
Upgrade priority is usually weapon > chest/legs > hands/head/feet
So robe would be your best choice given what you can get
But will take a tad longer
Even if progging e8s?
You typically buy your bis pieces with allegory first
So chest or legs whichever is BiS
when should I start using all my money on clothes to glamor my gear?
Yea I got my legs from savage
Whenever you want really, money doesn't have much use otherwise
Other than early tier crafted gear
Hey guys I'm around lvl 16, I was wondering when do I start to unlock dungeons and raids and the daily roulette/daily quests? Also I've not been paying attention to the story much and just been doing the quests as it seems like so far it's just an intro to the game. When does the real story start/ when should I start paying attention to the story?
First dungeon is via story
Lv15 in the story
Lv15-16 ish story quest
the first dungeon is a level 15, get to MSQ "it's probably pirates" in limsa
Which isn't the same as lv15 on your class
Raids are at each level cap, 50/60/70/80
I didn't get it til around level 20
Thanks and what about the story?
I think around the time it gives you airship access it gets good
can free trial players play Mahjong?
Yes
Pretty much, ARR is a grind and the story can be tedious but it gets better
Just need gold saucer access which is 15
thank you!
What about mounts, when do you unlock them? And do you unlock different ones by playing the game or do you have to buy them with real money?
!faq mounts
'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.
Theres plenty of ways to get mounts, via beast tribes, drops from extremes, crafting, buying with othwr special currenxies etc
are there a shortcut for trying on items?
you can get other mounts from events, also certain side quests (like the unicorn one)
Majority is unlocked by playing the game
I'm trying to create my first glamour plate. if I want this armor to be the glamour, am I doing the right thing?
I guess my accessories should be last?
You can dye it in the drsser
Or on the plate
Dyeing it in the dresser lets it keep the dye for further playe creation while dying it on the plate only applies the dye for that plate
Incase you ever wanna change colour of the same outfit for different plates
oh okay!
can I repair gear on my room?
I have one piece at 80% and can't use as glamour..
No but i believe there's a repair guy close outside
okay I'll find him
Unless you level your crafters, then you can repair anywhere yourself
are there any shortcut for trying on items on the market board?
or do I have to right click
how do I unlock the mats for aymark? They're not showing up in the other section
Right click
@tidal yarrow repair guy is bt the calamity salvager near the blacksmith guild
Next to the mail
are there any website for previewing outfits?
your outfits or others?
you can preveiw single pieces in game
you can check here for what people have
and save the preveiw to add more
but apart from that: Eorzea collection for user submitted glams (with photos)
or garlandtools.org has a 3d model veiwer
thanks
Garlandtools lets you preview their models
Ffxivcollection has full sets put together for you to look at
@faint flare okay thanks!
https://xivstyle.com/ is also very good but it hasn't been updated with the most recent sets sadly
for some reason the linen tights I have don't show up in the equip of glamour creation. but I'm sure I have them. maybe because I have them on rn?
Yeah I would have recommended xivstyle but its outdated now
The wings are with the dress
There are no back attachments in this game that aren't bound to a chest piece
is black desert similar to ffxivo?
any good free mmo games?
There's not p2w and cash shop isn't predatory
not really the place to be asking for free mmos try #video-games-general
@faint flare if I put something in glamour plate it disappears from my Inventory?
sorry for tag
ohh okay..
You can retrieve it if you wish after making the plate
It wont affect plates already made with it
I see
do I have to complete all the past raids first before I start eden? xD
hey i just started the game is anyone here wanting to show me around?
You do, however, need to unlock each boss in Eden sequentially.
^ might be good for you stelio
is the free version unlimited to play?
The trial yes
i see
But locked to 35 with some limitations on chat and gil
Up until lv35 on everything
Free version is limited to level 35(?) and has social limitations, but otherwise you can play it as long as you want.
only the 3 starting cities allow world changes?
Yes
ok thx
And only from the main aetheryte in those cities.
Some qurstion.. can ALL mounts fly here?
Yes
Especially those from the mogmog collection?
if I want to put back something in inventory I press "restore item"?
will it lose the dying?
It should keep the dye i think
Yey! Thanks!
How to replay missions?
New game plus, cant do ARR stuff or job questw currently
best biginnet class to start?
Depends on what role you're interested in playing.
melee dps

In that case, your choices are either Pugilist (PUG) or Lancer (LNC) until you can travel to other cities, at which point you will be able to also select Rogue (ROG).
PUG becomes Monk (MNK) at level 30, and just as it sounds, is a fist-fighter type job. Of the four melee classes, PUG/MNK is the most dependent on "positionals" - skills which do more damage when the player is either at the rear or flank of an enemy (read the tooltips to learn which require which position).
@faint flare I needed a set that is only available through msq
@oblique yew You can usually rebuy MSQ items from the Calamity Salvager if you threw them away. There's one in every starting city
eastern socialite is a mogstation set?
Yes
LNC becomes Dragoon (DRG) at level 30, specializing in polearm weaponry. If you've played a Final Fantasy game before, the high-jumping combat style is maintained in FFXIV, although with less delay than in the turn-based games.
Oh, then that's just crafted gear. You'll have to craft it or buy it on the market board.
It's not MSQ exclusive
If you chose the silver piece, you lost your chance at getting that piece of gear for free.
Targetting filter purposes
should i change it?
Default is fine
I can't find eastern socialite set on mogstation.. I hate that there's no search button
I was trying by filters but idk if it's a seasonal or like women or unisex
It's not seasonal
I want to say the socialite set is female only
Probably under female sets
Is the fate in east shroud “The enmity of my enemy” one that only appears when you speak to a purple-marked NPC?
I can’t find it at all in any of chaos’ data centers
In the last 2 days
hmm im certain that i unlocked the memoria misera extreme form the quest npc, but i cant find it in the duty finder 😮
It may just not be up when you're looking @mossy tartan
Its in the High end duty finder
Googling it, "To do this FATE first you need to complete The Enemy of my Enemy, to start this you need to talk to Mianne Thousandmalm who will appear as a purple "!" Fate in the sylph lands area."
Press the High end tab for memeoria Ex
OHHH
@strong sphinx It should be under "High-End Duties"
lmfao i didnt know there was a tap lol
Googling it, "To do this FATE first you need to complete The Enemy of my Enemy, to start this you need to talk to Mianne Thousandmalm who will appear as a purple "!" Fate in the sylph lands area."
@median locust Ahh, thank you
tab*
Cause you onlt just got the first instance
There
Current extreme, savage and ultimates go there
memoria mesiera is the only current right?
Only current extreme
I think Ruby EX is also?
And ruby
Ruby EX is probably there too, yeah
Yeah ruby as well
Other than that, there's all 4 Eden's Verse Savage instances, and all 3 Ultimate difficulty fights
When stuff becomes non-current content, it goes to regular Duty Finder
Except for Ultimates
okay gotcha!
when doing hunt trains there are some ridiculous amount of people/skills and often if I don't stand right next to the boss I can'
can't even target/attack, any way to mitigate this?
can you do any dungeon at any level? does it scale exp-wise?
You can hide skills, but there's no real way to suddenly see the hunt when it disappears
Whats a commendation
The game can only render a set amount of things at once and sometimes the hunt gets hidden
how does the random duty finder thing work then?
okay so it's possible to hide everyone else's skills?
@tardy lake basically telling the player they did a good job
Dungeons always give relative exp for their intended levels, but if you do it under a "Roulette" it will give you an exp reward proportion to your actual level
@gentle knoll the roulettes give you a random dungeon and scale the exp
but you can't choose that dungeon individually from the duty finder? it only scales if you do the roulette?
ok ty
@next wind Yes, it's under Character Settings somewhere. You can choose "Limited" skill effects for other players, so you'll only see stuff you actually need to see, like life regen bubbles and such
okay thanks, having 50 holy being spammed does burn my eyes so even if I won't be able to see the boss better it will be worth it xD
specifically its the roulette's daily bonus that scales appropriately
do we have to stand in ley lines
yes
the dungeon itself is always going to give exp appropriate to the level range of that dungeon
You have to stand in the leylines to have the effect. If you leave, you lose the speed buff.
The black mage who casted the ley lines needs to stand in it to get their buff
But if you're asking if standing in a black mage's leylines that isn't you will buff your skills, it won't
It only buffs themselves
The NPC in northern thanalan named “Rurubana” doesn’t have the levequest : (necrologos: pale oblation) for me?
Do I have to complete the ones before?
They don't always have every leve. Just do another leve, then check again
I’ve never done leves so I don’t know much of what’s going on
should I hard cast DoTs as SMN on electric/earth aether in order to use fester for e8s?
They changed it to 3 in Heavensward and oneward
Ruins and egi assaults/bahamut stuff is enough for earth/eletrics
I should save tri-d for aqueous too right
You have 2 tri diasters from the natural cooldown and the reset from dwt
So you use those on the aquarous
She put me off while saying “my Leves require those who undertake them to put the “act” in action. I cannot offer them to one not even ready to spell “act”, let alone.... act act.”
when I have a miner maxed out, which crafter would complement it the most? blacksmith?
*to make profit
i see, thx
did you unlock leves?
sounds like you haven't unlocked the levemetes as a whole, you might need to go back to your starting city and do the levemete of X there @mossy tartan
Okay, thank you
are there achievements for doing specific duties as all blu
Yes
Do binding coils tier 5, 9 and 13 and Alexander savage 4,8 and 12 as full blue, silenced echo synced
For the morbol mount
ah
There's also a title for Thordan Extreme done the same way, and iirc some other achievements for other fights with no rewards
Every ARR Extreme primal minus Moggle Mog/Ultima, every HW Extreme Primal, Turn 5, Turn 9, Turn 13 of Bahamut, A4S, A8S, A12S
is shift supposed to stop your character moving or have i messed with a keybind?
It doesn't for me
I just reached heavensward, just wanna know, how/what quest do i have to take to unlock the level 60 gear npc to buy using poetics ?
i see.. im still so far away then orz
Does it matter which Crafting skill I decide to do first? Like is there a recommended one or just do whatever I feel like?
Levelling them all at once is the better way to do it since they all share gearsets and you won't have to carry 8 different sets of gear at once. Plus their crafts usually require materials that are crafted by other crafters, and buying those on the marketboard instead of making them yourself will get expensive.
The only crafters that are somewhat self-sufficient are Culinarian and Alchemist (other than books for Alc)
So if you're only going to level one, do Culinarian
But if you want to levell all of them, do them all at once. It'll be slow but more manageable and cheaper.
ahh, okay, thank-you for the advice ^^
why would they lock SHB relics behind stormblood alliance raids ? it’s seems impossible to get in as a dps
Because it's a continuation of that storyline
If the roulette isn't working blame the assholes for abusing the item level system
trying to transfer a toon from excalibur to Hyperion and getting "There are no eliigle characters available for a home world transfer
it is a fairly new toon only about 3 days old
Is your character still on Road to 70?
yea only lvlv 19
Doesn't a character have to be 30 days old or something to be eligible for server transfers?
but if I choose Excalibur as destination, then my Hyperion toons are avaialbe fro transfer
You can't transfer a character away from a Preferred server for 90 days after creation
My account is only 1 week old
Just create another character, will be way cheaper and it'll take no time at all to get back there
Either way you can't transfer it now

I'll wait another day and see but if not, I'll just create a new toon on Hyperion. Thanks all
It won't work anymore than today
scale of 1-10, 10 being thordan extreme at the original ilvl, how hard is memoria miseria extreme
does going to a server with lower player helps?
Due to auto demolish being ofd
Not really, every plot is more or less taken
Memoria is like a 5
could I learn and beat it in a day?
pretty much the only servers that are likely to have empty plots at this point in time
are jp servers
I beat it in like a few hours after patch when no guides exist
Memoria is mostly about remembering what skill casts do
Then you just learn Fortious
And its dead
In a raid, what's the general default behaviour if you're the target of an attack that requires people to stack on you? Do you run towards the tank? Do you run towards the center? Do you stand still?
Oh right, coz that's where everyone's supposed to be anyway?
Bare minimum be in melee range, or melee/tanks will hate you
To unlock the relic “nirvana” I have to finish upgrading thyrus up to nexus?
Thanks ^_^
yes
Yeah Nirvana/Nirvana Zeta are the very last step for the lv50 relic. You have to go through every step to get there
Almost done with my thyrus animus
What’s the difference between a GC levequest and a normal one?
The former gives seals, the latter gives gil, I think that's about it?
basically, yeah
In the book of skyfire, I finished the 1st levequest. It is labeled as a “levequest” only. The second one (the one I’m doing now) is called “an imp mobile” which is located in central coerthas. Is it the levemete there?
yes, either whitebrim or the observatorium
So I have to complete a leve for it to gain a chance to appear?
Can usually look up the leve's name on Google to find who gives it easily
Since I can’t find it at all
If it's the right NPC, yes
I did, it’s the same NPC
Each levemette in ARR Rotates between 4-5 leves but only 3 display at one time
There's no way to force it to appear other than to grind out leves until it does
Alright, thank you
I set in the glamour dresser the clothes I wanted in the inn room. but when I go on character and click on glamour plates nothing shows..
You need to make a plate
Not just put stuff in there
Press the edit plate button in the dresser
If you did make a plate, are you in one of the main cities? You can't apply Glamour Plates outside of main cities.
ahhh
done..
I did it Vinyl, thanks!
spent all my afternoon trying to look good^^'
oh and yeah I am at Limsa!
What exactly is 'weekly' about the NieR raid? The duty still mentions obtainable rewards are weekly
Cracked clusters
still one problem. there's a cross on this piece!
that means that
you are trying to do something like
glamour caster gear but you are playing as a tank
or vice versa
not allowed
ohh..
if you can't equip it normally, you can't wear it as part of the glamour set
or you might be trying to glamour
high level gear onto low level gear
@maiden plover materia tokens
thanks for the clarification, I couldn't really find any info on it
what is the Phecda boss looking thing in found in North Shroud?
its a B rank hunt
if you leave the party finder can you join back ?
once you're lvl 50 and completed the quest "Let the Hunt Begin!" you can pick up hunt bills from the billboard at your grand company. Phecda is one of the weekly targets
oh cool ty
If you're not 8/8, yes
What's the origin of cities loading screens? Cause they really don't seem to look anything like the actual cities
concept art?

they look like the cities to me
Fairly sure they're repurposed concept art
How do I find a free company, and are they the same as clans
Liek just shout?
Wait so free company=guilds?
yes
Ah well I prefer to look for higher quality ones then XD
There's recruitment channels in this server, as well as /r/ffxivrecruitment where you could look for one
👀 you can always join abuse them for the exp boost and then leavea after taking stuff out of FC chest
It increases with rank, but I think the absolute max is 512
I might be wrong though
Ah ok ok
Yeah feels like bad energy
Wait most companies that are recruiting seem to be smaller ones
Is there anywhere I can find a big company
Or do you guys know some
there's not much difference between a big fc and a small one
size doesn't matter 
if you were on behemoth I'd invite you
Wait I just found one
It’s called azur infinitium or watever
well crafting would save you money
but then you need the materials and the required lvl
Craft if you can, usually crafting it from scratch is cheaper but sometimes not. If you don't have crafters, buy
The Glamour's that I want are 200-800k gil
if you have the money then sure
Usually the raw materials are just as or more expensive though
But they're cheaper if you can get them straight from treasure maps
above?
In one of the buildings below probably
hey guys, any point to do job quests with my miner? I'm 74 and didn't do job quest since 53 xD
it doesn't unlock skills no? those are all level unlocked?
Yes, starting at 53 you get some skills from quests
53, 55, 58, and 60
Tech support question: Migrating PC from old/bad to new/good, but I need my UI settings from old rig. Where would that have been saved, assuming I didn't screw with default?
My games > ffxiv > one of the character folders
you can upload your settings via the client
That to
Hello, what is the song called from edens core?
ty, I'm not seeing it on the drive I dumped so I'll go boot up the whale again
is there any way to get a group together for the bahamut raids? im not having any luck w the duty finder
Party finder
^
Will a fantasia let me change the race and gender of my char?
Bahamut is not in roulette because it's difficulty is equal to that of Savage
Yes
how do i unsync it?
@light lintel Eden's core?
Turn on Undersized party
what
oh the instance thing
question, does all custom deliveres needs to be tax fraud?
Like the Eden "cockpit." I can hear the song in my head, but can't remember the name
||like running orphange and organization to help orphans and elders||
From E1 right
I don't think we have an official name yet
unless it's been stealth released with the soundtrack
Ah, it dumped my settings into OneDrive. Not cool.
E1 is Force Your Way, but that's not what played in the story area
so wait if i turn on undersized party im stuck soloing it
i just cant find it anywhere.
You make a party
If you have Spotify you could look up Soken as an artist and see what tracks are part of the ShB collection
the shb soundtrack isn't on spotify
Which is why people party finder to unsync things
Ah rip
ah
people don't really upload music of the waiting areas
Spoilers in the footage of course.
This blissful auditory ꜰᴏʀᴄᴇ with which ʏᴏᴜʀ brain is currently being pleasured was foreseen. It was foreseen a long ᴡᴀʏ ahead of its release, in the shared dreams of all those who posses a passion for Final Fantasy.
8
Find the rest of the...
nah thats Eden 1
oh you mean the waiting area
yessss
oops
Can I get 1 equipment piece from Eden’s verse per raid? for instance I want the chausses of Golden antiquity, can I do the 4 Eden’s verse raids to get one from each per day?
alrighty well i set up an undersized party in the party finder hopefully that works lmao
@mossy tartan yes
Okay. Thank you
@mossy tartan just make sure you do not roll for anything else if you do you get locked out of loot
Why is this map not listed in online treasure map databases? https://i.imgur.com/JZdIvEl.jpg
How different are the dancer animations/dance emotes for male and female
Because its a solo map
the only emotes that various by gender for dnc are battle stance, victory pose
Most data bases usually only show 8mans
animations for the job don't vary between genders
@mossy tartan just make sure you do not roll for anything else if you do you get locked out of loot
@static yacht will remember that, thank you!
and if you don't win the item you can always redo the raid
and try to roll for it again
the solo maps aren't on since their rewards aren't as sought after and tend to be regularly obtainable items
In EV: fulmination (NM) do the lightning circles spawn on top, behind, or in front of you?
but if you do the bigger maps won't the map owner risk having stuff taken?
you can complete 8-man maps with like 3 people.
not really too familiar with pug map runs but sometimes they let the item go to the owner of teh map
What the heck, I just got a map inside a chest that I used a map to find
@mossy tartan on a grid, as close to you as possible
Can I trade and Sell the Beaver Minion
except for the big one which is on top of you, but I might be confusing that for savage
to maximise gil as a crafter who has miner at 80, BSM would be a best choice right?
BSM, ARM, and GSM yes
hmm okay, so which would be nr1? xD
yes
I'm not in the mood to level all 3 :/
entirely depends on your marketboard
Why GSM? Did they switch CRP's accessories to GSM again later on?
@dense pier battle accessories are generally GSM, crafter/gatherer accessories are generally CRP
both can sell fairly well depending on the market
emphasis on the market

Like right now, it's probably not likely you'll be selling new crafter or gatherer gear since 5.3 is basically right around the corner
Some units might move but demand is way, way down this far into the patch
What’s a better way to sell stuff if the MB is taking too long
sell stuff that sells fast lol
economics 101
instead of selling stuff that sells slow
but you won't make as much money selling stuff that sells fast
But the stuff that I have that sells the most sells slow
it's economics 101
You can't control demand
and in ffxiv you can't really control supply either
economics for dummies
easiest way to make a profit is to sell niche items in demand
stuff like leve items sell fairly consistently due to lazy levelers
just join the level 80 tincture / food market
or materia
if you don't want to wait
hunt trains > get hundreds of clusters > sell materia
For Eden raids, I can only get one item for each floor?
Can you buy crafter/gatherer materia from hunt train stuff?
@lofty pulsar for verse yes
for eden gate you can get as many as you want
you can only purchase those with scrips
for verse yes
Only one per floor per week for current floors
1 per floor
It Sucks I got this expensive stuff and no one bought it overnight
I’ll wait I guess
@dense pier no, only clusters from Wonderous Tails
off ok
@midnight slate make sure you look at the time log to see how often it is selling
turns out economics is really fucking hard
You have to be patient if you're seeking money
Last purchase was yesterday bruh
Heckin
there's a lot of variables that go into buying / selling
I'm struggling to get crafter/gatherer materia
There’s been a purchase every single day for the last week
@dense pier I recommend grinding out ishgard then
@dense pier for gatherer materia you can do the level 80 gatherer beast tribe
Grade 5/6 can be gotten easily with yellow scrips
I'm 70
Price may vary but it’s still in the 230-250k range
grade 7/8 are much easier to get from restoration
often for expensive item, if someone is competing to sell it you'll have to camp the undercut
annoying but can get u the sale
230-250 makes me think its innocence barding, and typically those aren't affected by demand
they'll be time independent
same category as barding
dancing wings makes the barding and trades for the beaver
its not something that's going to move quickly
just put it up for sale, and keep an eye on it
update price as need be
which tank is the most alpha?
!faq meta
i sold dancing wings just yesterday 200k
its also used for the housing item
worth
Dark knight
which again, not a very active market
you need to die to activate your tank invuln
o
nothing more alpha than that
thats pretty alpha
warrior also pretty alpha cause they like to hit things and go BRRR
lol
And Warriors get red angery eyes when they're in their burst DPS phase
random pic off google
when on a dungeon as a tank I die is it usually my fault or healers?
Depends
Can be both, DPS too
depends on how you died
did you stand in stupid?
probably your fault
did you die to an Auto Attack? Probably the healers fault
it's hard for me to understand when to use Interject.
Is it possible to set loot rules outside of duty finder?
If the cast bar glows red, you can interject it
Interject is used on pulsating cast bars
I dont think you really see it often until you see like sprites
For Stuns, it's a case-by-case basis. Some mobs and most bosses above lv50 are immune to stun
Interject bars are really fast in ARR and aren't used for major mechanics until stormblood or so
oh okok..
Its a niche skill but its useful when the need arises
also, why shouldn't I stand still when fighting? afaik only dodgeable attacks are the ones with the area of them on the screen so for all the rest it's the same if I stay still?
There's no reason to take avoidable damage
some attacks don't have a tell
Your job is to mitigate damage, which includes avoiding aoes
you have to watch the boss animation
Is it possible to set loot rules outside of duty finder?
Not really, people set loot rules for maps verbally
Some attacks are dodgeable and don't have yellow AoEs. Example: Coincounter in Aurum Vale. 100-ton Swipe is a cone to his front, but it doesn't show it. 100-ton Swing is a big circle AoE around him, you still can't see it.
@median locust oh okay! that was literally what I was asking.
you should know which attacks to dodge
Garuda also has a frontal cone tankbuster that stuns, you can dodge it if you move behind her while she's casting it. I forgot the name though, but iirc she even uses it in normal mode
Do note that all dungeons from Heavensward and onward almost always have a warning indicator
Slipstream
also I hope you're facing the boss away from the group
for that very reason fissie said
Oh yeah, unavoidable cleaves exist too. If you face mobs towards the party, they're going to take damage too, for no reason
It's a good rule of thumb to always face mobs away from the party
can you join an FC on any world within your data center?
Nope, only your home world
thanks
so I should try to have all the enemies on me and my team far right?
no?
Not necessarly far, just facing away
oh
No one should be standing next to you or behind you
depends on the fight
A good example of a tank cleave
lol it's funny but I can't tell what happened
the boss did a cleave
the tank grabbed aggro and since aggro was on him the boss casted a tankbuster in his direction
thus, the party died
It's a giant tank buster aimed at the tank. The tank was standing with the party, therefore the party got hit with it
ohh..
Face the mobs away so this doesn't happen :p
I will thank you guys
I'm still low level my bosses are still cute vampires or eagles but it'll be useful to know also for the future^^'
For collectibles that have too low a collectibility rating to turn in, are those useless or can I do something else with them?
Useless
You can turn it into a normal item
But if its ishgard restoration stuff then its useless
I have some dragon obsidian and yellow copper ore for example. How can I turn that to normal item?
Right click and like reduce quality or something
Ok so im at about 7 ,classes now is this safe?
what classes
Ah ok thanks
Well i have pugilist ( i want a monk) thurge and some crafting and gathering
anyways you don't need to level more than one job to max to have access to all the combat content in the game
Safe for what?
Idk
You can go through the entire game with just one job
I feel like ill prob get overwhelmed by the amount of variett
and no crafters
You'll eventually level them all anyway
But iwant to be diverse
Then be diverse
There's no wrong way to play the game so if you feel like levelling a bunch of things, just do it
Just make sure not to burn out
How effective is leveling in Dungeon of the Dead?
Like how much experience do you get per run
not as effective as using squadrons or dungeons but it's pretty alright
Floors 51-60 are the most efficient way to level DPS if you have bad queues
experience depends on your current level
Until lv59 that is
like you can get 5 levels at once if you're at level 1 down to like 1/4th a bar at 60
I mean right now I'm trying to get my level 17 Gladiator so I have a secondary job if my dps gets shit queue times
For tanks it's not worth
Just queue for roulettes, then the highest level dungeon you have unlocked
Oh? Even if you party up with someone else?
For tanks dungeon queues are only 5 minutes or so
It's still better to just do leveling roulette?
Dungeons are absolutely faster for tanks/healers
and dungeons are vastly superior for exp/time
Aha, I see
POTD is only better due to DPS queues being dumb and long
One levelling roulette a day for the bonus, then the highest level dungeon you can queue for
So just grind through the highest level dungeon I have unlocked after I finish my leveling roulette?
if you are tank / healer correct
Nice, thanks
If you're DPS: depends on the queue times
that's the most time efficient one, sanitary efficient is another thing lol
Yes but remember.. 50/60/70 dungeons are NOT applicable to this.
if it's below 10 minutes it's generally worth
yeah, ignore the 50, 60, 70 dungeons if you're 50 and need to hit 51 just do the 49 one
End cap dungeons were meant for max lvl of that expac and thus do not have good exp
You know what i think ill focus on my main job and when i feel ready ill start lvling everything else
Yeah okay
The only exception is MSQ roulette since cutscenes are forced on so you get 40 to 60% a bar for roulette bonus
Good idea Bootymeat... Youll have armory bonus for those then as well
Can I make a macro for suiton and other ninja skills to put them on the hotbar or would that be breaking some kind of ToS?
!faq macrogcd
not recommended
It would be extremely bad
since mudras are on the GCD
how do I filter for women outfits but non seasonal?
You don't
can I ask about ACT here?
Yes
I've heard it can track boss mechanics and timers for aoes, is that true? where could I get that from?
or it's not true?
In my process of getitng the anima weapon, im at the step to collect some form of light, what is the best and fastest way to get that?
Not really track but set up triggers to call out things when the boss casts a specific stuff
@next wind Cactbot
Spam brayflox hard sato
how many times does that need?
Or get a group and farm Alexander 9 Savage unsync
a9s unsync would be way faster
damn i havent even unlocked any of the alexander raids haha
thanks
to enter A9S i need to have done all the previous raids of that?
yes
holy
they're fast
you mean A1-12?
Yes
yes
XDD can i solo those? drk 463 currently
Uhhh probably some of them
i would not recommend trying to solo normal mode tbh
i see hmm
