Try simple mode, it can go smaller iirc

tidal yarrow
#

I don't have that option on my screen it's weird.

median locust
#

Have you selected "Job Gauge" in the HUD menu and clicked the little cog icon?

reef reef
#

So you are saying I shouldn't go in blind like I always do

#

hahahah

median locust
#

Nope, in Extremes or Savages, people usually read guides first and expect others to do the same

marble drift
#

you will be wasting 8 players time.

#

your own, and 7 randoms

reef reef
#

🥺

median locust
#

So unless you're clearly saying "BLIND Learning party" in your party finder, read a guide :p

reef reef
#

okie thanks

median locust
#

or watch a guide, whichever you prefer of course

reef reef
#

but i480 is okay or meh?

marble drift
#

its how they did the world first clear

tidal yarrow
#

found it! it was Oath gauge

marble drift
#

so yeah its fine

tidal yarrow
#

tysm everyone.

median locust
#

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

reef reef
#

shiiit

#

so i gotta farm allegory?

median locust
#

Just cap your Allegory every week and you'll eventually get there. One step at a time :p

reef reef
#

😢

marble drift
#

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

median locust
#

Do you have your iLv485 relic? @reef reef

reef reef
#

Nope I just googled it haha

median locust
#

If not, that should be the first thing you get

reef reef
#

im doing full neo-ish

median locust
#

Clear the lv70 24-man raids, then pick up the sidequest for them in Kugane

reef reef
#

People say relic is very grindy?

median locust
#

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

reef reef
#

oh

median locust
#

Upgrading it in later patches might be grindy, but it's really not right now

reef reef
#

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

median locust
#

Allegory one is 490 and requires 1000 Allegory + clearing E8 normal 7 weeks in a row

reef reef
#

oh

#

shit

crimson crystal
#

^

median locust
#

Doing one single sidequest is miles easier

#

and it's not time gated

marble drift
#

OR clearing E6S once and winning the tomestone

#

then it only requires that drop and a 1000 allegory

median locust
#

Also a small note, the first iLv485 weapon is 100% free, next ones will cost 1000 poetics each

reef reef
#

Are those savage super unforgiving?

median locust
#

If you compare them to normal mode raids, yes

reef reef
#

so missed a damage reduction or messed up opener will cause a wipe most likely?

marble drift
#

no

median locust
#

Not thaaat bad

forest laurel
#

no

#

it's not THAT bad but they are hard

marble drift
#

but not being in the right spot for a mechanic

#

may cause an entire party collapse

reef reef
#

I just wanna be kinda casual player 😢

#

I see

median locust
#

Someone being dead on the floor for most of the fight won't make you fail in normal mode, but in Savage it will

tardy hollow
#

how hard is it to start playing tank when you are used to healing/dps

forest laurel
#

no problem then

#

you're not forced to do savages

bronze sorrel
#

missed damage reduction might cause a wipe

forest laurel
#

I consider myself a casual player but I'm open to more challenging stuff

reef reef
#

But I also want i500

#

hahahahha

forest laurel
#

I wanna improve myself as AST

dusty jungle
#

Don't feel discouraged from trying it. They're worth everyone at least trying.

little swift
#

Savages aren't mandatory you'll get i500 through the next patch

median locust
#

Then wait for the next major patch. You'll be able to upgrade Allegory gear to iLv500 by doing the new Alliance raid

reef reef
#

how hard is it to start playing tank when you are used to healing/dps
@tardy hollow not bad, especially now pulling is easy

little swift
#

Catch up mechanics allow you to reach the same ilvl

tardy hollow
#

i just dont wanna mess up and embarrass myself aha

little swift
#

Put up a learning party

reef reef
#

But in next patch there are even higher ilvl gears then no?

little swift
#

Its fine to want to learn

#

No 5.3 is a catch up patch

median locust
#

@reef reef Nope, not next patch. Next patch is only catch up gear

little swift
#

5.4 will have the final tier

dusty jungle
#

No, the following patch will introduce higher

median locust
#

Savage gear from the current patch will stay the best, along with augmented allegory gear

reef reef
#

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

forest laurel
#

no worries dude it took me like a month's worth of weekly 2-hour memoria sessions to get a clear

reef reef
#

good!!!

forest laurel
#

you just gotta go in with a healthy mindset

#

to learn first and foremost

reef reef
#

Dont we get a buff if we get wiped multiple times?

dusty jungle
#

yeah, don't go in doubting yourself

forest laurel
#

THEN you can focus on improving your gameplay

dusty jungle
#

no, not for current tier

median locust
#

@reef reef Not in recently released fights

reef reef
#

🥺

little swift
#

Echo isn't introduced until larer

#

When they remove lockout and stuff

reef reef
#

I see

median locust
#

Gotta wait at least 6 months to get echo on something

#

Minimum

reef reef
#

Sooo Ima start maxing out allegory and get the relic for now

#

i just hit 80 and finished SHB

tardy hollow
#

@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

reef reef
#

What tank are you choosing?

tardy hollow
#

Probably DRK, it looks the coolest

reef reef
#

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

lilac mulch
#

how do i save progess in potd

marble drift
#

finish 10 floors

tardy hollow
#

I got used to healer fast after switching from dps, it just seemed daunting at first

faint flare
#

Progress is saved every 10 floors

lilac mulch
faint flare
#

Thats for pomanders

marble drift
#

see how it says "Record progress"

median locust
#

"Record progress and leave the area?"

faint flare
#

Pomanders aren't saved in matched parties

lilac mulch
#

aha

marble drift
#

no its actually meaning the sacks Vinyl

faint flare
#

Plus you might have a full inventory and cant receive the accursed horde sacks

marble drift
#

if you enter potd with a full inventory, you get no sacks

lilac mulch
median locust
#

ye

#

Just make sure you have room in your inventory to get these, that's all it means

lilac mulch
#

aha

#

i open it once im in floor 11-20

small saffron
#

what server should i choose?

median locust
#

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

forest laurel
#

doesn't really matter, but preferably in your region

median locust
#

The only two "noteworthy" servers are Bamung and Mateus, which are the "unofficial" RP servers

gritty oracle
#

How many Umbrites will I need for one crystal sand quest?

median locust
#

Between 60 and 80 if my memory is good

#

The actual number is RNG

gritty oracle
#

hmm

marble drift
#

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

median locust
#

lol, for real. They're such good weapons. I have five of them.

marble drift
#

shoutouts to: DRK, DRG, AST and BRD animas

#

for being super sick

next wind
#

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

paper barn
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

median locust
#

Central Shroud has lv1 dummies

marble drift
#

iirc there are some appropriate level dummies in Costa Del Sol?

#

I could be misremembering

gritty oracle
#

level 1

#

but they won't die or anything

#

I'm not sure why dummies need levels

leaden ginkgo
#

Oh ok

median locust
#

Yeah dummies just go back to full HP when they get to 0

leaden ginkgo
#

Idk figured it was like a mmo ive played before

#

Anyways tho... could u guys give me map location?

faint flare
#

@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

leaden ginkgo
#

Summerford...yes...

#

That place next to...

marble drift
#

Limsa

gritty oracle
#

Middle la noscea

faint flare
#

You have a teleport to it

marble drift
#

you should make it a priority to get all aetherytes as soon as you see them

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok i didnt have it yet im going there now thx!

#

Learning dancer is ganna be tough :>!

meager tendon
#

[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.

paper barn
#

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

faint flare
#

Sentinel mitigates damage for 15seconds

marble drift
#

!action Sentinel

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Sentinel** : lvl 38 GLA PLD (120.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Reduces damage taken by 30%.
Duration: 15s

faint flare
#

Character config > hotbar > turn off unused slots

marble drift
#

15 in fact

little swift
#

It doesn't turn damage to 0

meager tendon
#

I meant sheltron, sorry

little swift
#

Neither does sheltron

#

It reduces damage through block

faint flare
#

Yes it blocks all attacks for 4sec, a block is roughly 18% mitigation

gritty oracle
#

oh

faint flare
#

Give or take depending on shield

gritty oracle
#

me dummy thought it blocks all damage from AAs

faint flare
#

It gets buffed to 6s via trait later

#

It just gives you 100% block rate

#

For the duration

gritty oracle
#

so should I always keep it rolling in AA heavy phases (like trash or between boss mechs) as oath points allow?

marble drift
#

its more fighting game block

#

chip damage is a thing

faint flare
#

You use it like a normal cooldown

paper barn
#

Sweet thanks.

marble drift
#

think of it this way. they're hitting your shield, of which you are holding up

faint flare
#

Its paladin short defensive cooldown akin to Heart of stone, raw intuition etc

little swift
#

Its spammable and should be used frequently to your and your party's benefit

faint flare
#

It takes roughly 30ish seconds to build gauge due to rate of auto attacks

little swift
#

Cover and divine veil have more specific uses

leaden ginkgo
#

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

median locust
#

For ARR, it doesn't really matter. You kill the fights before it matters.

leaden ginkgo
#

Plus I'm bard and I don't know if it has good damage output for soloing

median locust
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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 ?

median locust
#

Allegory tomestones and current Savage fights, yes

twilit arch
#

for several of the later HW exs, pld is the safest choice

median locust
#

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.

twilit arch
#

because of hallowed

gritty oracle
#

a good way to get materia is roulettes, they offer cracked stellaclusters and planiclusters that can be traded for grade 7 and 8 materia

tidal yarrow
#

where can I find soot black dye?

gritty oracle
#

marketboard or craft from grey pigment

twilit arch
#

Craft, marketboard, or ixali vendor if you have the rep high enough

next wind
#

someone told me I could sell phantasmagoria tomestones, is that true?

leaden ginkgo
#

ok and is full allegory the best right now or raid gear from savage

twilit arch
#

you buy crafting materials with phantasmagoria and sell those

tidal yarrow
#

okay thx

twilit arch
#

is what people mean by selling phanta

next wind
#

okay I see

#

thanks

median locust
#

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

leaden ginkgo
#

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

median locust
#

It's not that grindy, it's just a matter of capping your Allegory every week

#

and clearing Savage if you do that

strong sphinx
#

i got my 485 relic wepaon now, i could actually slot in materia 8 now, right?

faint flare
#

Yes

strong sphinx
#

im 460ilvl on DRK

faint flare
#

You'll have it for awhile

median locust
#

Tier 8 in all five slots works, ye

strong sphinx
#

i know that there is a priority in melding but im still not sure what to slot into that weapon tho

faint flare
#

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

strong sphinx
#

ahhh oaky now i got it, so it means you can slot in endlessly some form of materia, so it has a cap?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Every piece of gear has stat caps

#

And you cannot bypass this

strong sphinx
#

for examplpe, i slot in crit as much as i can , then i go down the prio and slot that in till cap?

faint flare
#

Through any means

#

Yep

#

Thats how melding priority works

#

You can only fit in 5

#

With your 5 slots

strong sphinx
#

alright and comfy sks means i shouldnt really cap it but find a sweet spot for me?

forest laurel
#

yeah

strong sphinx
#

i would be so lost without this discord channel XD

#

thx

little swift
#

@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

marble drift
#

Remember you're aiming for enough skill speed for at least 5 bloodspillers from a single delirium activation

sand flame
#

Should I get boots/gloves today or my robe later in a week for crystarium? (Blm upgrading from neo ishgardian)

faint flare
#

Robe

strong sphinx
#

alright will keep that in mind!

faint flare
#

Chest/legs provide note main stat

little swift
#

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

sand flame
#

Even if progging e8s?

faint flare
#

You typically buy your bis pieces with allegory first

#

So chest or legs whichever is BiS

chilly fog
#

when should I start using all my money on clothes to glamor my gear?

sand flame
#

Yea I got my legs from savage

little swift
#

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?

faint flare
#

First dungeon is via story

little swift
#

Lv15 in the story

faint flare
#

Lv15-16 ish story quest

chilly fog
#

the first dungeon is a level 15, get to MSQ "it's probably pirates" in limsa

little swift
#

Which isn't the same as lv15 on your class

faint flare
#

Raids are at each level cap, 50/60/70/80

chilly fog
#

I didn't get it til around level 20

fair lagoon
#

Thanks and what about the story?

chilly fog
#

I think around the time it gives you airship access it gets good

dull herald
#

can free trial players play Mahjong?

faint flare
#

Yes

valid glen
#

Pretty much, ARR is a grind and the story can be tedious but it gets better

faint flare
#

Just need gold saucer access which is 15

dull herald
#

thank you!

fair lagoon
#

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?

faint flare

!faq mounts

Mounts FAQ
Info

'When can I get my first mount?'

The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.

'Are there any differences between mounts?'

Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.

'Can I make my mount faster?'

Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.

faint flare
#

Theres plenty of ways to get mounts, via beast tribes, drops from extremes, crafting, buying with othwr special currenxies etc

loud wolf
#

are there a shortcut for trying on items?

chilly fog
#

you can get other mounts from events, also certain side quests (like the unicorn one)

faint flare
#

Majority is unlocked by playing the game

tidal yarrow
faint flare
#

Yes

#

You put it in the dresser

#

Which allows yoy to put it on a glamour plate

tidal yarrow
#

okay. I'll try!

#

if I wanted It dyed I should have did it before right? lol

sand flame
#

I guess my accessories should be last?

faint flare
#

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

tidal yarrow
#

oh okay!

#

can I repair gear on my room?

#

I have one piece at 80% and can't use as glamour..

faint flare
#

No but i believe there's a repair guy close outside

tidal yarrow
#

okay I'll find him

faint flare
#

Unless you level your crafters, then you can repair anywhere yourself

loud wolf
#

are there any shortcut for trying on items on the market board?

#

or do I have to right click

lofty pulsar
#

how do I unlock the mats for aymark? They're not showing up in the other section

faint flare
#

Right click

#

@tidal yarrow repair guy is bt the calamity salvager near the blacksmith guild

#

Next to the mail

loud wolf
#

are there any website for previewing outfits?

valid glen
#

your outfits or others?

marble drift
#

you can preveiw single pieces in game

valid glen
#

you can check here for what people have

marble drift

and save the preveiw to add more

#

but apart from that: Eorzea collection for user submitted glams (with photos)

loud wolf

@faint flare okay thanks!

median locust
tidal yarrow
#

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?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Need to unequip

little swift
#

Yeah I would have recommended xivstyle but its outdated now

tidal yarrow
#

okay I need to go buy some

#

market board so expensive tho

faint flare
#

The wings are with the dress

median locust
#

There are no back attachments in this game that aren't bound to a chest piece

small saffron
#

is black desert similar to ffxivo?

little swift
#

No

#

Different styles of gameplay and xiv is a largely story focused game

small saffron
#

any good free mmo games?

little swift
#

There's not p2w and cash shop isn't predatory

tidal yarrow
#

@faint flare if I put something in glamour plate it disappears from my Inventory?

#

sorry for tag

faint flare
#

Yes

#

As it stores it

tidal yarrow
#

ohh okay..

faint flare
#

You can retrieve it if you wish after making the plate

#

It wont affect plates already made with it

tidal yarrow
#

I see

do I have to complete all the past raids first before I start eden? xD

The trial yes

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.

And only from the main aetheryte in those cities.

All mounts fly

if I want to put back something in inventory I press "restore item"?

faint flare

Once you unlock flying

#

Yes

tidal yarrow

open coral
#

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).

oblique yew
#

@faint flare I needed a set that is only available through msq

median locust
#

@oblique yew You can usually rebuy MSQ items from the Calamity Salvager if you threw them away. There's one in every starting city

tidal yarrow
#

eastern socialite is a mogstation set?

median locust
#

Yes

oblique yew
#

I took the allagan silver pieces instead of the set piece

#

Can I still buy them?

open coral
#

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.

median locust
#

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.

should i change it?

faint flare

Default is fine

tidal yarrow
#

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

median locust
#

It's not seasonal

open coral
#

I want to say the socialite set is female only

median locust
#

Probably under female sets

mossy tartan
#

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

strong sphinx
#

hmm im certain that i unlocked the memoria misera extreme form the quest npc, but i cant find it in the duty finder 😮

open coral
#

It may just not be up when you're looking @mossy tartan

faint flare
#

Its in the High end duty finder

median locust
#

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."

faint flare
#

Press the High end tab for memeoria Ex

strong sphinx
#

OHHH

open coral
#

@strong sphinx It should be under "High-End Duties"

strong sphinx
#

lmfao i didnt know there was a tap lol

mossy tartan
#

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

strong sphinx
#

tab*

faint flare
#

Cause you onlt just got the first instance

#

There

#

Current extreme, savage and ultimates go there

strong sphinx
#

memoria mesiera is the only current right?

faint flare
#

Only current extreme

open coral
#

I think Ruby EX is also?

faint flare
#

And ruby

median locust
#

Ruby EX is probably there too, yeah

faint flare
#

Yeah ruby as well

median locust
#

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

strong sphinx
#

okay gotcha!

next wind
#

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?

gentle knoll
#

can you do any dungeon at any level? does it scale exp-wise?

remote lintel
#

people have their chocobos out

#

@gentle knoll no

#

not regular dungeons

median locust
#

You can hide skills, but there's no real way to suddenly see the hunt when it disappears

tardy lake
#

Whats a commendation

median locust
#

The game can only render a set amount of things at once and sometimes the hunt gets hidden

gentle knoll
#

how does the random duty finder thing work then?

next wind
#

okay so it's possible to hide everyone else's skills?

remote lintel
#

@tardy lake basically telling the player they did a good job

barren merlin
#

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

remote lintel
#

@gentle knoll the roulettes give you a random dungeon and scale the exp

gentle knoll
#

but you can't choose that dungeon individually from the duty finder? it only scales if you do the roulette?

remote lintel
#

@next wind yes under character config

#

yes

gentle knoll
#

ok ty

median locust
#

@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

remote lintel
#

you dont need that for other people

#

only your own party

next wind
#

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

twilit arch
#

specifically its the roulette's daily bonus that scales appropriately

leaden ginkgo
#

do we have to stand in ley lines

remote lintel
#

yes

twilit arch
#

the dungeon itself is always going to give exp appropriate to the level range of that dungeon

median locust
#

You have to stand in the leylines to have the effect. If you leave, you lose the speed buff.

faint flare
#

The black mage who casted the ley lines needs to stand in it to get their buff

median locust
#

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

mossy tartan
#

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?

median locust
#

They don't always have every leve. Just do another leve, then check again

mossy tartan
#

I’ve never done leves so I don’t know much of what’s going on

slate arrow
#

The leves rotate through

#

Each levemette has like 4 but only offer 3 at a time

latent prism
#

should I hard cast DoTs as SMN on electric/earth aether in order to use fester for e8s?

faint flare
#

Only aquarous

#

Others die to fast

slate arrow
#

They changed it to 3 in Heavensward and oneward

faint flare
#

Ruins and egi assaults/bahamut stuff is enough for earth/eletrics

latent prism
#

I should save tri-d for aqueous too right

faint flare
#

You have 2 tri diasters from the natural cooldown and the reset from dwt

#

So you use those on the aquarous

mossy tartan
#

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.”

next wind
#

when I have a miner maxed out, which crafter would complement it the most? blacksmith?

#

*to make profit

latent prism
#

i see, thx

remote lintel
#

did you unlock leves?

twilit arch
#

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

mossy tartan
#

Okay, thank you

remote lintel
#

are there achievements for doing specific duties as all blu

faint flare
#

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

remote lintel
#

ah

median locust
#

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

fervent silo
#

is shift supposed to stop your character moving or have i messed with a keybind?

stray pebble
#

It doesn't for me

fervent leaf
#

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 ?

faint flare
#

Do the story until you get access to Idyllshire

#

Which is 57ish story quest

fervent leaf
#

i see.. im still so far away then orz

remote lintel
#

they're supposed to be endgame gear

#

so yes it's far away

sullen niche
#

Does it matter which Crafting skill I decide to do first? Like is there a recommended one or just do whatever I feel like?

median locust
#

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.

sullen niche
#

ahh, okay, thank-you for the advice ^^

leaden ginkgo
#

why would they lock SHB relics behind stormblood alliance raids ? it’s seems impossible to get in as a dps

median locust
#

Because it's a continuation of that storyline

slate arrow
#

If the roulette isn't working blame the assholes for abusing the item level system

sullen pulsar
#

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

median locust
#

Is your character still on Road to 70?

sullen pulsar
#

yea only lvlv 19

tranquil valve
#

Doesn't a character have to be 30 days old or something to be eligible for server transfers?

sullen pulsar
#

but if I choose Excalibur as destination, then my Hyperion toons are avaialbe fro transfer

median locust
#

You can't transfer a character away from a Preferred server for 90 days after creation

sullen pulsar
#

My account is only 1 week old

median locust
#

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

It won't work anymore than today

You have to wait 90 days

To transfer

2nd question, what's the best way to find a plot for your FC

faint flare
#

Stalk the ward lists

#

You aren't gonna find anything soon unless you're luxky

night rampart
#

scale of 1-10, 10 being thordan extreme at the original ilvl, how hard is memoria miseria extreme

sullen pulsar
#

does going to a server with lower player helps?

faint flare
#

Due to auto demolish being ofd

#

Not really, every plot is more or less taken

#

Memoria is like a 5

night rampart
#

could I learn and beat it in a day?

faint flare
#

Yes

#

Especially with guides

twilit arch
#

pretty much the only servers that are likely to have empty plots at this point in time

#

are jp servers

faint flare
#

I beat it in like a few hours after patch when no guides exist

night rampart
#

nice

#

I'm gonna do it then

#

get that sweet gear

faint flare
#

Memoria is mostly about remembering what skill casts do

#

Then you just learn Fortious

#

And its dead

ocean oxide
#

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?

median locust
#

Behind the boss usually

#

Then stand still

ocean oxide
#

Oh right, coz that's where everyone's supposed to be anyway?

median locust
#

Bare minimum be in melee range, or melee/tanks will hate you

mossy tartan
#

To unlock the relic “nirvana” I have to finish upgrading thyrus up to nexus?

ocean oxide
#

Thanks ^_^

twilit arch
#

yes

median locust
#

Yeah Nirvana/Nirvana Zeta are the very last step for the lv50 relic. You have to go through every step to get there

mossy tartan
#

Almost done with my thyrus animus

#

What’s the difference between a GC levequest and a normal one?

median locust
#

The former gives seals, the latter gives gil, I think that's about it?

twilit arch
#

basically, yeah

mossy tartan
#

Are the issuing NPCs different?

#

Let me provide context, second please

slate arrow
#

yes

#

They're usually almost practically right next to each other but seperate NPCs

mossy tartan
#

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?

slate arrow
#

yes, either whitebrim or the observatorium

mossy tartan
#

So I have to complete a leve for it to gain a chance to appear?

median locust
#

Can usually look up the leve's name on Google to find who gives it easily

mossy tartan
#

Since I can’t find it at all

median locust
#

If it's the right NPC, yes

mossy tartan
#

I did, it’s the same NPC

slate arrow
#

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

mossy tartan
#

Alright, thank you

tidal yarrow
#

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..

faint flare
#

You need to make a plate

#

Not just put stuff in there

#

Press the edit plate button in the dresser

median locust
#

If you did make a plate, are you in one of the main cities? You can't apply Glamour Plates outside of main cities.

if you can't equip it normally, you can't wear it as part of the glamour set

There's recruitment channels in this server, as well as /r/ffxivrecruitment where you could look for one

How many people can be in a fc max

It increases with rank, but I think the absolute max is 512

I might be wrong though

Ah ok ok

I wouldn't recommend abusing an fc

#

that might count as harassment

hollow horizon

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

if you were on behemoth I'd invite you

is it better to buy glamour?

or to craft them?

hollow horizon

It’s called azur infinitium or watever

well crafting would save you money

but then you need the materials and the required lvl

median locust

Craft if you can, usually crafting it from scratch is cheaper but sometimes not. If you don't have crafters, buy

oblique yew

The Glamour's that I want are 200-800k gil

if you have the money then sure

Oh...

Well

That doesn't help me then AT ALL

#

the solo maps aren't on since their rewards aren't as sought after and tend to be regularly obtainable items

slate arrow
#

yes

next wind
#

I'm not in the mood to level all 3 :/

slate arrow
#

entirely depends on your marketboard

dense pier
#

Why GSM? Did they switch CRP's accessories to GSM again later on?

next wind
#

okay so I'll need to do some research :/

#

thanks

slate arrow
#

@dense pier battle accessories are generally GSM, crafter/gatherer accessories are generally CRP

#

both can sell fairly well depending 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

economics 101

it's economics 101

You can't control demand

twilit arch
#

Grade 5/6 can be gotten easily with yellow scrips

dense pier
#

I'm 70

midnight slate
#

Price may vary but it’s still in the 230-250k range

twilit arch
#

grade 7/8 are much easier to get from restoration

clever cave
#

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

static yacht
#

230-250 makes me think its innocence barding, and typically those aren't affected by demand

#

they'll be time independent

midnight slate
#

It’s Dancing wings

#

I have 3 of them

static yacht
#

same category as barding

twilit arch
#

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

And Warriors get red angery eyes when they're in their burst DPS phase

tidal yarrow
#

when on a dungeon as a tank I die is it usually my fault or healers?

faint flare
#

Depends

median locust
#

Can be both, DPS too

slate arrow
#

depends on how you died

#

did you stand in stupid?

#

probably your fault

#

did you die to an Auto Attack? Probably the healers fault

faint flare
#

Did you use cooldowns approiately

#

Did shit takes 1000 years to die? Dps fault

tidal yarrow
#

it's hard for me to understand when to use Interject.

dense pier
#

Is it possible to set loot rules outside of duty finder?

median locust
#

If the cast bar glows red, you can interject it

faint flare
#

Interject is used on pulsating cast bars

tidal yarrow
#

oh I didn't even know they were a thing..

#

never noticed

faint flare
#

I dont think you really see it often until you see like sprites

median locust
#

For Stuns, it's a case-by-case basis. Some mobs and most bosses above lv50 are immune to stun

slate arrow
#

Interject bars are really fast in ARR and aren't used for major mechanics until stormblood or so

tidal yarrow
#

oh okok..

faint flare
#

Its a niche skill but its useful when the need arises

tidal yarrow
#

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?

faint flare
#

There's no reason to take avoidable damage

remote lintel
#

some attacks don't have a tell

faint flare
#

Your job is to mitigate damage, which includes avoiding aoes

remote lintel
#

you have to watch the boss animation

dense pier
#

Is it possible to set loot rules outside of duty finder?

faint flare
#

Not really, people set loot rules for maps verbally

median locust
#

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.

tidal yarrow
#

@median locust oh okay! that was literally what I was asking.

remote lintel
#

you should know which attacks to dodge

median locust
#

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

slate arrow
#

Do note that all dungeons from Heavensward and onward almost always have a warning indicator

faint flare
#

Slipstream

remote lintel
#

also I hope you're facing the boss away from the group

#

for that very reason fissie said

median locust
#

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

ember leaf
#

can you join an FC on any world within your data center?

remote lintel
#

no

#

your world

median locust
#

Nope, only your home world

ember leaf
#

thanks

tidal yarrow
#

so I should try to have all the enemies on me and my team far right?

remote lintel
#

no?

median locust
#

Not necessarly far, just facing away

remote lintel
#

just face the opposite of where they spawned

#

usually north

tidal yarrow
#

oh

faint flare
#

No one should be standing next to you or behind you

remote lintel
#

some bosses need to be tanked in the middle

#

some need to be moved

remote lintel
#

depends on the fight

slate arrow
#

A good example of a tank cleave

tidal yarrow
#

lol it's funny but I can't tell what happened

remote lintel
#

the boss did a cleave

slate arrow
#

the tank grabbed aggro and since aggro was on him the boss casted a tankbuster in his direction

#

thus, the party died

median locust
#

It's a giant tank buster aimed at the tank. The tank was standing with the party, therefore the party got hit with it

tidal yarrow
#

ohh..

median locust
#

Face the mobs away so this doesn't happen :p

tidal yarrow
#

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^^'

timid quest
#

For collectibles that have too low a collectibility rating to turn in, are those useless or can I do something else with them?

faint flare
#

Useless

#

You can turn it into a normal item

#

But if its ishgard restoration stuff then its useless

timid quest
#

I have some dragon obsidian and yellow copper ore for example. How can I turn that to normal item?

faint flare
#

Right click and like reduce quality or something

tulip plover
#

Ok so im at about 7 ,classes now is this safe?

slate arrow
#

what classes

timid quest
#

Ah ok thanks

tulip plover
#

Well i have pugilist ( i want a monk) thurge and some crafting and gathering

slate arrow
#

anyways you don't need to level more than one job to max to have access to all the combat content in the game

median locust
#

Safe for what?

tulip plover
#

Idk

median locust
#

You can go through the entire game with just one job

tulip plover
#

I feel like ill prob get overwhelmed by the amount of variett

median locust
#

and no crafters

faint flare
#

You'll eventually level them all anyway

tulip plover
#

But iwant to be diverse

median locust
#

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

slate arrow
#

Just make sure not to burn out

faint flare
#

Some People have every job maxed out so

#

¯\_(ツ)_/¯

#

Do as you like

proven bay
#

How effective is leveling in Dungeon of the Dead?

#

Like how much experience do you get per run

slate arrow
#

not as effective as using squadrons or dungeons but it's pretty alright

median locust
#

Floors 51-60 are the most efficient way to level DPS if you have bad queues

slate arrow
#

experience depends on your current level

median locust
#

Until lv59 that is

slate arrow
#

like you can get 5 levels at once if you're at level 1 down to like 1/4th a bar at 60

proven bay
#

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

median locust
#

For tanks it's not worth

#

Just queue for roulettes, then the highest level dungeon you have unlocked

proven bay
#

Oh? Even if you party up with someone else?

slate arrow
#

For tanks dungeon queues are only 5 minutes or so

proven bay
#

It's still better to just do leveling roulette?

median locust
#

Dungeons are absolutely faster for tanks/healers

slate arrow
#

and dungeons are vastly superior for exp/time

proven bay
#

Aha, I see

slate arrow
#

POTD is only better due to DPS queues being dumb and long

median locust
#

One levelling roulette a day for the bonus, then the highest level dungeon you can queue for

proven bay
#

So just grind through the highest level dungeon I have unlocked after I finish my leveling roulette?

static yacht
#

if you are tank / healer correct

proven bay
#

Nice, thanks

slate arrow
#

If you're DPS: depends on the queue times

static yacht
#

that's the most time efficient one, sanitary efficient is another thing lol

polar hound
#

Yes but remember.. 50/60/70 dungeons are NOT applicable to this.

slate arrow
#

if it's below 10 minutes it's generally worth

static yacht
#

yeah, ignore the 50, 60, 70 dungeons if you're 50 and need to hit 51 just do the 49 one

polar hound
#

End cap dungeons were meant for max lvl of that expac and thus do not have good exp

tulip plover
#

You know what i think ill focus on my main job and when i feel ready ill start lvling everything else

proven bay
#

Yeah okay

slate arrow
#

The only exception is MSQ roulette since cutscenes are forced on so you get 40 to 60% a bar for roulette bonus

polar hound
#

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?

You don't

next wind

can I ask about ACT here?

slate arrow
#

Yes

next wind
#

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?

strong sphinx
#

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?

faint flare
#

Not really track but set up triggers to call out things when the boss casts a specific stuff

slate arrow
#

@next wind Cactbot

faint flare
#

Spam brayflox hard sato

strong sphinx
#

how many times does that need?

faint flare
#

Or get a group and farm Alexander 9 Savage unsync

remote lintel
#

a9s unsync would be way faster

strong sphinx
#

damn i havent even unlocked any of the alexander raids haha

next wind
#

thanks

remote lintel
#

it would probably take you max 30 mins if you did savage

#

with 5 people

strong sphinx
#

to enter A9S i need to have done all the previous raids of that?

remote lintel
#

yes

strong sphinx
#

holy

faint flare
#

You need to complete alexander 12 normal

#

So yes

remote lintel
#

they're fast

strong sphinx
#

you mean A1-12?

faint flare
#

Yes

remote lintel
#

yes

strong sphinx
#

XDD can i solo those? drk 463 currently

faint flare
#

Uhhh probably some of them

remote lintel
#

it would probably take you a while

#

about the same time as doing them with a group

twilit arch
#

i would not recommend trying to solo normal mode tbh

strong sphinx
#

i see hmm
