Cause moogles are evil ose

leaden ginkgo
#

LOL

little swift
#

you have to apply it before you make your first official subscription payment yes

#

this is part of the free 30days included in the Base Game license

#

but if you used the wrong code i'm not certain they'll allow you to input another

whole horizon
#

right, I have not officially subscribed yet. but used the wrong recruit code.. but I dont see the option to apply it again

#

I see.

little swift
#

it doesn't affect your rewards as the person being recruited

#

applying the wrong code only impacts who gets the recruiter rewards

whole horizon
#

yeah :/ I wanted my wife to get the mount after 90 days.

#

I will email support and see if they will apply hers. can't hurt to ask 🙂 thanks for the replies!

remote lintel
#

if you both haven't bought time yet you can enter each others codes

whole horizon
#

she did. she used another friends code, and I was going to use hers, but grabbed his by mistake

remote lintel
#

you can buy the mount from the calamity salvager if you've recruited 2 people

#

it's 8 chocobo feathers iirc

lime quarry
#

Can someone direct me to a guide for the plate system? I heard there's a way to like glamor plates or something so you don't put it on your gear, but im not sure what that all entails

crimson crystal
#

Yeah if you go to an inn, there's a glamour dresser and you can store glamour plates, which are like "loadouts"

faint flare
#

Go to inn > open glamour dresser > put stuff in the dresser with prisms > press edit platea > put your glamour on the plate > save > apply plate

gritty oracle
#

Dullahans start spawning at 18:00 Eorzea time, correctt?

faint flare
#

Optional: link plate to gear set to always apply that glamour whenever you swap to that job, provided you're in a major city

leaden ginkgo
#

kinda silly question

#

The main purpose of hunt trains, is to get as many Hunt Seals, right?

#

With bonus Poetics and Phantasmagoria?

open coral
#

Other way around

faint flare
#

To get all the currency

open coral
#

Hunt trains are to farm tomestones, and the hunt currency is bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

blep

#

But thats about it that it gives, right?

remote lintel
#

unless youre trying to get the mount

leaden ginkgo
#

Seals, Poetics, Phantas?

open coral
#

Yeah

faint flare
#

Allegory

leaden ginkgo
#

S Ranks i imagine?

remote lintel
#

no

#

A

#

S ranks dont have trains

open coral
#

A and S

remote lintel
#

the S ranks are bonus

leaden ginkgo
#

...I suppose its a Shadowbringers hunt only thing

faint flare
#

Well if you encounter one someone spawned

leaden ginkgo
#

Did a Stormblood short one, which is why i got confused

remote lintel
#

some trains do Sb first then SHB

lavish vortex
#

Hi, I’m trying to post a hunt, but I get the message: you are not authorized to participate in the hunt. What should I do?

stark garnet
#

Is this chat for both questions and duties?

remote lintel
#

@lavish vortex you mean youre trying to get a hunt?

#

did you unlock them?

#

@stark garnet if you mean asking for help with duties then recruitment channel

stark garnet
#

Okay thank you

lavish vortex
remote lintel
#

you didnt unlock hunts

#

do the quest

gloomy ice
#

You need to be at least level 50 and reach 2nd Lt rank with your GC to unlock the hunt board.

nova umbra
#

if you're over leveled for a dungeon and get synced down, is there a way to find out what ilevel you've been synced down to?

remote lintel
#

character

lavish vortex
#

Whats the quest? I am level 60 and have reached 2nd Leutenant rank

remote lintel
#

"let the hunt begin"

lavish vortex
#

I’m at Limsa liminsa upper decks, but cannot find the quest giver

nova umbra
remote lintel
#

at your GC

#

hover over your equipment?

nova umbra
#

to find synced down ilvl?

remote lintel
#

was it a dungeon with the sync icon?

#

because those tell you what ilvl

obsidian patio
#

Duty finder > bottom-most button should show the details of the duty, with ilvl sync at the bottom of that

#

For when you’re in a duty

nova umbra
#

oh, if it's not a synced dungeon symbol, only your level gets synced down?

#

not your gear?

obsidian patio
#

Not quite

#

If you sync down in level, it syncs your gear to the best possible stuff you would have at that point

nova umbra
#

so if synced down to a 60 dungeon, it would be like full augmented shire gear

obsidian patio
#

Yep

median inlet
#

Finally got my game downloading and such. Starting playing as a Conjurer. Plan on becoming a White Mage. Right now I'm wondering what would be a good sub class for gil gain

remote lintel
#

all crafters

median inlet
#

Aren't they only really good at the end game?

silver ruin
#

you dont really have many options till endgame

remote lintel
#

kinda

#

^

median inlet
#

Yeah fair enough

#

What crafters in particular would you personally recommend?

silver ruin
#

all

remote lintel
#

I said all

#

I meant ALL

silver ruin
#

most use stuff from other classes

median inlet
#

Oh damn, gotcha'

#

Right now I'm just a fisherman and selling crap for 2 - 3 gil feels totally nice I swear

remote lintel
#

fisher sells worst

silver ruin
#

^

median inlet
#

Yeah I'd imagine

silver ruin
#

fisher generally isnt worth leveling in terms of gil making cause its not used by many crafters compared to the others

proud willow
#

there are things here and there that sell well from FSH, even at low level. like coral

silver ruin
#

if you enjoy fishing sure, but id recommend doing the other stuff first

remote lintel
#

you could make fsh work tho

#

my FC leader has made like 30 mil so far

median inlet
#

I'm lvl 25 right now, still haven't gotten my first mount so you could guess my general play area.

remote lintel
#

with a fsh retainer

median inlet
#

Should I go crafter / miner or something then

remote lintel
#

sure

silver ruin
#

in terms of gathering you for sure need botanist/miner cause those are what gather hte materials for recipes

remote lintel
#

I mean at lvl 60 you unlock an area that can speed level crafters and gatherers

#

like get to 80 in a day

proud willow
#

White coral and Red coral are each going for almost 2k each on my server right now

#

and those are pretty low level

silver ruin
#

how frequently are they selling though?

#

there might be some niche fishing markets but youd have to check your server

proud willow
#

recent sales shows today and yesterday, so they're moving fast

#

though they haven't been 2k the whole time

median inlet
#

Perfect, thanks!

leaden ginkgo
#

can we spend allegory tomes on the totems needed for alexander ultimate gear ?

warped nest
#

Nope

#

You gonna earn that shit legit

#

There is no alternative

leaden ginkgo
#

how you unlock it ?

#

the raid

warped nest
#

You beat E4S

leaden ginkgo
#

lol ooooK

warped nest
#

I have no idea which NPC to talk to to get Alexander Ultimate after you cleared E4S

crimson wind
#

Where's the Odin totem exchange?

remote lintel
#

mor dhona?

crimson wind
#

Ok thanks

gloomy ice
#

Odin totems are in Mor Dhonuts, yeah.

#

TEA is unlocked by talking to the Minstrel in Kugane btw

crimson wind
#

Mor Dhonuts
haha

gloomy ice
#

But, yeah, requires E4S clear.

remote lintel
#

is lucid really that important in the smn opener?

fresh lodge
#

Not at all

remote lintel
#

alright

remote lintel
#

hi_im_fox has it after his 5th gcd

#

idk how strict these rotations are tho

#

it's hard to memorize

nimble rain
#

I've not played tank other than PLD, do other tanks have ranged attacks with high attack power/potency like PLD's Holy Spirit and Confiteor?

remote lintel
#

yes

jade quartz
#

No.

remote lintel
#

not sure about war

jade quartz
#

PLD gets that little bit of ranged privelege

#

which is nice if requiescat lines up with melee downtime away from boss

#

but that's niche.

fresh lodge
#

PLD is really the only one with a strong ranged GCD

nimble rain
#

I see, thank you

junior tundra
#

just started 2.5 quests

#

when will yuigiri reveal her face

nimble rain
#

at the end of it

gloomy ice
#

Near the end, yeah.

leaden ginkgo
#

can i buy someone neo gear ?

#

my friend is 466 he needs to be 470 for memoria

little swift
#

as long as you do not bind it to you it can be traded again

#

so yes you can buy it for them

remote lintel
#

so what does one do when the tank and everyone else are taking so much damage and you burn through all 3 aetherflows

#

succor spam?

little swift
#

depends on what level

#

assume by you only mentioning 3 total aetherflow its sub 60, as you lack dissipation to refresh your aetherflow

#

if you have access to emergency tactics, you can use that on your succor to give it a mroe powerful aoe heal

remote lintel
#

what

#

are you supposed to get a 4th aetherflow

fresh lodge
#

You can sacrifice your fairy to refresh your aetherflow at level 60

remote lintel
#

oh right

#

it was like lvl 53

gloomy ice
#

It caps at 3 but you, yeah, get a skill to eat your fairy.

nimble rain
#

is this a case of the tank being bad or undergeared?

fresh lodge
#

!action Dissipation

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Dissipation** : lvl 60 SCH (180.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Orders your faerie away while granting you a full Aetherflow stack. Also increases healing magic potency by 20%.
Duration: 30s
Current faerie will return once the effect expires.
Summon Eos or Summon Selene cannot be executed while under the effect of Dissipation.
Can only be executed while in combat.

remote lintel
#

maybe?

#

I put galvanize and looked away for 3 seconds and looked back and he was dead

nimble rain
#

seem like undergeared

#

and pull too big

#

if it were me I would tell him to only pull pack one by one or I will just leave him to die

remote lintel
#

we didn't wipe cause I revived him fast enough

#

but almost

fresh lodge
#

Don't intentionally let people die

#

Thats a fast track to getting kicked from the party

#

And even if you don't, It's just going to make the run take longer

nimble rain
#

of course, if tank bite more than he can chew once I would try to save him

#

but I would tell him to stop pulling big after that, if he doesn't listen, ¯_(ツ)_/¯

noble ember
#

Does the Elegant Bustle item that you need to craft for the weaver quest have a use other than for the quest or is it strictly for the quest.

twilit arch
#

strictly for the quest

noble ember
#

Ty!

nova umbra
#

did I bug this? Doing unsynced and he won't aggro on to me or lose invulnerability on the crystals

#

he just keeps spinning in circles

twilit arch
#

You need to go do that final magitek terminal

#

to unlock the boss room

gloomy ice
#

You need to stand in the blue circle to open the door to the boss room.

#

He'll then fly to the next room and you fight him for real.

nova umbra
#

ohh

#

i thought i was in the boss room lol

#

i'm dumb :3

gloomy ice
#

Remember that you can't damage him when he's outside of the purple lights.

leaden ginkgo
#

what’s the difference between need and greed on items

#

and is it random who get if both roll need ?

twilit arch
#

need takes priority over greed

#

if two people roll need, then it goes to whomever rolled higher

leaden ginkgo
#

wym roll higher ?

twilit arch
#

when you hit need, a dice is rolled

#

1-99

leaden ginkgo
#

ok

twilit arch
#

so if one person rolls 8, and another 18

#

then the 18 wins

gloomy ice
#

Rolls never tie btw.

remote lintel
#

what's going on with bahamut?

#

sometimes after I do deathflare it doesn't let me summon

twilit arch
#

what lvl are you

remote lintel
#

71

#

is it cause I waited too long or something

twilit arch
#

no you need to be 72 to get 2 stacks of dreadwyrm aether

gloomy ice
#

That explains it. Until you unlock the trait at 72, I think, you have to trance twice.

twilit arch
#

so before then you need to use trance 2 times before you can summon

remote lintel
#

oh wat

twilit arch
#

!trait Enhanced Dreadwyrm Trance II

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Enhanced Dreadwyrm Trance II** : lvl 72 SMN

Grants two units of Dreadwyrm Aether upon the end of Dreadwyrm Trance.

remote lintel
#

how do I know I've gotten 2 stacks

twilit arch
#

by the job gauge

remote lintel
#

is it extra glowy?

gloomy ice
#

First the icon will glow blue. That's one stack. Once the eyes turn red, that's two.

twilit arch
#

1 stack is coloured in bahamut head without the glow

remote lintel
#

oh

misty pelican
#

I'm new to the game, how do I respond to a "tell" without having to click their name on the chat box and clicking "Send Tell"

remote lintel
#

that's subtle

gloomy ice
#

@misty pelican Type /r

#

Rather: /r [message text]

#

Without the brackets tho

misty pelican
#

O: Thank you!

stark shale
#

Will I unlock the red quest aether current nodes in the MSQ or are they in side quests?

gloomy ice
#

If I remember correctly, two of the aether current quests in each map are specifically MSQ quests and the others are side quests.

crimson crystal
#

Yeah I think so too

gloomy ice
#

The final HW zone being the sole exception.

crimson crystal
#

Most will be bluequest side quests and you can see the aether current as a reward

stark shale
#

Gotcha, thanks!

twilit arch
#

the top row of diamonds in the aether current window is bluequest or msq

#

the bottom row of diamonds are open world currents

spring oasis
#

if I attended a wedding and did not get a demon box even tho they did buy the biggest pack an dless than 80 attended where do I get it

#

I talked to the lady but nothin

#

outside

twilit arch
#

the invitation automatically turns into the minion

tired nacelle
#

does anyone use teamcraft crafting simulator? anyone able to tell me why I can't generate a macro for a specific recipe? the part where you can usually click to do it is grayed out 🤔

spring oasis
#

it should? ok

#

maybe if I log back in I still had the invitation lol

#

@twilit arch still got the invitation lmfao

jade current
#

Is there any SEA or OCE based FC in aether datacenter?

spring oasis
#

lmfao I still have the invite and when I enter I get kicked out and it never goes away cri

twilit arch
#

you didn't leave before the ending of the ceremony right

spring oasis
#

I think the wedding dorks screwed up the last cutscene so I think so

#

they skipped the cutscene basically by having everyone walk out before it I believe

#

so if so then yah that must of been it

#

it was a botched wedding but funny

twilit arch
#

thats most likely it, afaik you need to ring the bell to end the ceremony

#

or let the ceremony naturally end on its own

spring oasis
#

ye Im stuck with the invite unless I discard it but eh ill keep it

#

it did end on its own but still got it

#

the invite

twilit arch
#

by naturally, i mean the timer running out and you're all kicked out regardless

spring oasis
#

oh no we literally all went outside

#

lmfao

#

before timer

#

they didnt ring the bell

twilit arch
#

yeah so you left before the ceremony was ended

spring oasis
#

yikes oh well

#

Hey so what are some tips to keep in mind for a returning lvl 50 black mage? That hasn’t really played much sense ARR?

little swift
#

you'll know you have 200 points when one rune is fully lit up @thick bolt

steel wedge

So I have no idea on the new battle mechanics

little swift
#

Is there a guide on where to find cheap gear for alts <50?
@twilit abyss if you have to gear some alt classes, grab some cheap vendor gear from the city. no reason to try and arm yourself to the teeth when your gear will be outscaled by how fast you level.

twilit abyss
#

That’s basically what i wanted to know/hear.

#

Thanks!

little swift
#

@steel wedge keep playing msq for now, lots of mechanics will be revealed to you slowly as you go through the game's content. if anything you can remove your skills from your hotbar, slowly add them back in and learn your rotation by slapping a training dummy

#

!faq blmleveling

zinc orbitBOT
#
THM/BLM leveling rotations
little swift
#

here's a rotation by level range for both single target and aoe

#

the important thing currently is to make sure you can gear yourself correctly, there aren't too many mechanics for you to have to remember other than don't stand in bad and keeping your gcd casts rolling

#

Is there any reason why they gave me both healer set and cleric set at the same time?
@primal relic are you referring to teh level 50 white mage job quest?

#

if so then one of them is a stronger more powerful version of the set

#

at item level 90 instead of teh mishmash pieces at i45/50

crimson wind
#

Is Mewrilah a common fem suncat surname or do people just really like Lady Mewrilah?

gloomy ice
#

It's one of the autogenerated names and therefore lore appropriate.

little swift
#

i mean i see 3 npcs with that surname

#

they're all mooncats though

gloomy ice
#

Oh right mooncats

#

Meaning it's super uncommon for a suncat

little swift
#

i ain't no lore mentor, but it might be some sort of common family name

gloomy ice
#

Yeah, it's a common moon name but suncat naming conventions are different.

steel wedge
#

@little swift ty that helps a lot but I have one more question or it’s going to bother me how does this gauge thingy work?

little swift
#

that is your black mage job gauge

crimson wind
#

I don't see it often but it's one of the more common surnames I've seen in suncats

little swift
#

it keep tracks of a couple things

#
  1. what phase you're in and how much time you have in that phase (either umbral ice or astral fire)
steel wedge
#

Ok how do I read it and Utilize it?

crimson wind
#

Desperius...wonder why everyone hates him

steel wedge
#

Ok

little swift
#
  1. your number of umbral heart stack
steel wedge
#

Why not thunder?

little swift
#
  1. the timer on your next polyglot stack
#
  1. the number of polyglot stacks you already have
#

at your level, all it keeps track of is number 1

remote lintel
#

you use thunder after blizzard

gloomy ice
#

Astral fire and umbral ice phases are illustrated on the top left. The number next to it on the right is your time remaining for your ice/fire. Thunder isn't tracked on the gauge.

little swift
#

@steel wedge hope that helps break down the job gauge for you!

steel wedge
#

It does ty

latent prism
#

do i need to worry about 5.3 crafter gear update if I only care about raid stuff like neo-ish/consumables?

steel wedge
#

Last question I think... What are polyglot stacks again?

remote lintel
#

they let you use your instacast aoe or single target

latent prism
#

since rn they can be hqed from nq mats with food

remote lintel
#

which are your most powerful

steel wedge
#

Is that my Insta cast?

little swift
#

polyglot stacks are the stacks you build up when you're under enochian buff that let you cast some powerful abilities

#

like foul and despair

gloomy ice
#

You'll unlock those later. But to explain, they let you use Foul and Despair, yeah.

remote lintel
#

despair doesn't consume polyglot?

steel wedge
#

Got ya ok then

leaden ginkgo
#

Just hit 30 rouge/ninja, When do i unlock the gauge and the other bar for this class?

halcyon sleet
#

You don't get Xenoglossy, your instant cast polyglot spender, for quite a while. Functionally it is your Foul gauge until 80.

little swift
#

when you unlock more mudras @leaden ginkgo

#

first gauge should be at 45

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah i see, thank you

little swift
#

when you unlock your third mudra

remote lintel
#

it's foul and xenoglossy

gloomy ice
#

Right my b. Thanks. \o/

little swift
#

right wrong word in my brain

steel wedge
#

And what build should I have to be a bad ass BM? Critical hit and spell speed I think? Ya?

little swift
#

just focus on increasing your item level for now

#

item level increase will let you increase your main stat

#

which is intelligence

#

when you get to end game you can fiddle with some meld builds

steel wedge
#

Ok so worry about stats when I get to the end game basically?

remote lintel
#

like super sonic spell speed

gloomy ice
#

I'll also add that BLM has changed the least of perhaps every job in the game. Just had more added to it.

remote lintel
#

crit > direct hit > determination

little swift
#

you're worrying about substats right now, which are less important

remote lintel
#

is the general dps stats

little swift
#

mainstat/weapon damage are the ones you're looking for at this time

#

cerb blm also want as decent amount of SpS

remote lintel
#

that too

steel wedge
#

Ok i’ll just keep that in mind as I go... focus on item lvl for now

little swift
#

even the slowest builds have like 2k+ iirc

halcyon sleet
#

BLM changed a lot from 50-60 but from there is refinement

gloomy ice
#

Enochian was a big one, yeah. But it's general structure is the same more or less.

steel wedge
#

Well I’m lvl 50 😅 @halcyon sleet

little swift
#

basically the thing to keep an eye out for for blm is how often the rotation changes

#

as the image above illustrates

#

it changes like every 10 levels

remote lintel
#

but it's still fairly straightforward and self explanatory

steel wedge
#

Right ok ty

little swift
#

and either way those are things to slowly take in, just play the game and enjoy MSQ for now!

steel wedge
#

Ok! I’m going to do a quick detour and get done with my relic quest first because that looks useful

remote lintel
#

uh which one

little swift
#

old relics are just for glamour

steel wedge
#

A relic reborn

halcyon sleet
#

Just grab all the Ironworks stuff

remote lintel
#

i wouldnt do that

little swift
#

the only relic that is ok to pursue for use is the shadowbringers one right now

#

like people have said

#

ironworks is the way to go

#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
little swift
#

first link shows you what you can get

lavish vortex
#

Ok so I am second lieutenant and above lvl 50... and still the hunt quest is not showing up, what should I do? Am i missing something?

gloomy ice
#

Should be near the entrance to the Maelstrom HQ. It's not from the billmaster.

steel wedge
#

Oh? There is no point In doing them at lvl 50?

primal relic
#

@little swift yes, I was wondering why they gave me two set at the same time. And why not just one over the other.

remote lintel
#

i strongly discourage doing them at lvl 50

#

they are EXTREMELY grindy

#

and don't give you good gear

#

the ARR relic is notoriously grindy

lavish vortex
#

I just want to unlock them to be able to do hunts at lv 60

#

With my dancer class

mossy tartan
#

Where can I find the monster “Kobold pitman”?
Storm hunting log (2)

lavish vortex
#

While I wait for queues

little swift
#

if i recall correctly, the i90 set was something you had to grind out through lv50 dungeons through the antique relic items @primal relic but they ended up just giving it to you instead

gloomy ice
#

Well, theoretically they could potentially be best in slot for that particular level but relics are completely outclassed once you're past its iLvl threshold.

little swift
#

just toe speed thigns up

steel wedge
#

Ah ok good to know thanks for helping me not waste my time 😅

Should be near the entrance to the Maelstrom HQ. It's not from the billmaster.
@gloomy ice it’s not 😦

Oh I see lol cuz cleric is vastly superior in stats and color over the healer set.

I have all these old lvl 30ish side quest... is there any real point to doing them or should I just focus on the MQL?

remote lintel
#

if they're not blue you can drop them

#

only the bluequest are important

steel wedge
#

Ok

wooden umbra
#

do mobs do more damage to tanks when youve got your back to them as tank

lavish vortex
#

Found it!!! Thanks! Back to the topic of doing hints... is it worth it al lv 60 while waiting for queues?

remote lintel
#

for exp no

lavish vortex
#

Oh hahaha ok, then I wasted my time 😩

gloomy ice
#

You can, however, unlock the level 60 hunts in Ishgard.

steel wedge
#

Hmmm I guess it is blue lol they always looked purple to me

lavish vortex
#

You can, however, unlock the level 60 hunts in Ishgard.
@gloomy ice how do I do that?

steel wedge
#

Ok thanks guys very informative 😊

remote lintel
#

finish the hunt quest at your GC and do the hunt quest at ishgard

#

in the forgotten knight

gloomy ice
#

@lavish vortex Go to the Forgotten Knight aetheryte in Ishgard and look for Aytienne in the tavern. She'll have another blue quest called Let the Clan Hunt Begin. Once you unlock that tier, talk to Eustacia who is right next to the board to unlock the next. Thirdly, you'll have to talk to Yloise in Idyllshire for the third tier. Then Eustacia again for the weeklies in Ishgard.

#

@steel wedge Yes

warped nest
#

With 3 enemies, you are looking at 300+480 potency with 2 AOE weapon skill

crimson wind
#

I thought Midare made single target on 3 enemies worth it.

#

Seems I was wrong

gloomy ice
#

@steel wedge Heavensward is a tremendous step up from base ARR. Stormblood is pretty good as well. And Shadowbringers is regarded as one of the best.

warped nest
#

Tenka goken is 360 per enemy, so 3 enemies is 1080

crimson wind
#

Midare is 1.2k

warped nest
#

This is before Kaiten

crimson wind
#

Well I have kaiten

warped nest
#

Tenka with Kaiten is 540 per enemy, 3 makes that 1620

hoary storm
#

have to factor in the aoe rotation as well not just goken vs midare

warped nest
#

I did

shrewd relic
#

I bought my brother a complete edition of ffxiv and i received the Friendship Circlet, but never recieved Aetheryte Pendulum

#

Can anyone tell me why?

warped nest
#

3 enemy AOE is 300+480 in 2 steps
Single target is dunno+dunno+480 in 3 steps

outer plank
#

when does the ff11 event end?

leaden ginkgo
#

do we have to do each savage to unlock the next 4 ?

warped nest
#

No

leaden ginkgo
#

and is it worth for gearing up ?

warped nest
#

You just need to clear normal versions to get savage

steel wedge
#

@gloomy ice thanks 😊 do they get less fetch questy as you move forward? Because 2.0-2.5 feels REALLY filler to me

warped nest
#

The current highest tier is E5S-E8S, you just need to do E5-E8 normal

#

You don't need to touch E1S-E4S

gloomy ice
#

@shrewd relic Pendulum won't arrive until they subscribe for at least 30 days, not including the free time.

shrewd relic
#

@gloomy ice ah okay that makes sense ty

warped nest
#

Tldr on AOE: 3 is almost always the cutoff point where AOE beats single target

remote lintel
#

@outer plank june 22

warped nest
#

Only a few exceptions at 2 or 4 enemies

outer plank
#

does it take long to do?

warped nest
#

Just do 3 if you aren't sure

outer plank
#

@remote lintel

remote lintel
#

no

gloomy ice
#

@steel wedge They do. The early parts of the 2.1-2.5 stretch are brutally slow but they gain huge momentum on the return trip to Coerthas as that begins the lead in to HW.

crimson wind
#

Take it slow and you'll get through

#

Eventually.

steel wedge
#

Ok cool ty... even getting the stupid ||airship|| felt like a grind to me... I know it’s a MMO but I guess I’m just impatient lol

hoary storm
#

hmm sam single target seems to beat aoe with 3 targets by about 400 potency, but ofc when we factor the time it takes to do single target the aoe wins it seems

remote lintel
#

what

steel wedge
#

@crimson wind Lol thanks it also doesn’t help that I can’t remember much at this spot because I took a long hiatus lol

remote lintel
#

it doesnt take that long to do single target

hoary storm
#

single target 9 gcds, AoE 5 gcds

dusky echo
#

yeah

#

provisioning and supply mission guy

remote lintel
#

aoe doesn't apply dot

warped nest
#

Samurai dot is 60s

hoary storm
#

SAM dont apply dot in aoe scenarios

warped nest
#

There is no point in doing dot unless it is a fight with 2 bosses

remote lintel
#

you were talking about single target potency vs aoe potency?

warped nest
#

Tldr: do AOE when there are 3 enemies or more

hoary storm
#

only thing you need to do is get your buffs going then spam aoe

warped nest
#

Reyes was responding my respond on Wolf's question on AOE, Midare vs Tenka goken

remote lintel
#

well

warped nest
#

In almost all cases, 3 is the cutoff point where AOE wins out on potency per GCD

steel wedge
#

Is there something I can use to summon a npc to hold my gear or act as a bank? To lessen the load on inv?

remote lintel
#

midare is for single target so why would you do it in 3+ enemies?

steel wedge
#

I seem to remember there was something like that

warped nest
#

Ask Wolf

remote lintel
#

@steel wedge retainers

warped nest
#

Don't ask me

gloomy ice
#

@steel wedge Summoning bells in major cities/inn rooms call your retainers. Your personal bank/storage.

remote lintel
#

assuming you have them unlocked

steel wedge
#

But you can’t summon them in the feild

warped nest
#

The reasoning was, Midare + Kaiten buff is 800x1. 5, but Tenka is just 360 per enemy.

somehow Kaiten buff wasn't include in the AOE calculation, but if it does (and it should), then Tenka dish out 360x1.5 per enemy

remote lintel
#

no you cant

steel wedge
#

Ok ty

warped nest
#

You can only summon them with the summoning bell

#

Which is placed inside cities

#

And houses

steel wedge
#

Got ya ok ty

fathom sierra
#

If i buy the base shadowbringers dlc can i ever upgrade to the complete edition?

remote lintel
#

yes

#

collectors*

warped nest
#

Complete is different from collector

#

Complete is just Starter + Shadowbringers

remote lintel
#

i mean if you bought shadowbringers then the complete edition wouldnt be an upgrade

#

it'd be the same thing

warped nest
#

Yup

fathom sierra
#

i meant can i upgrade to collectors edition my bad

remote lintel
#

yes you can?

#

and yes

warped nest
#

You can

remote lintel
#

like 40 usd

fathom sierra
#

i only have base now

vernal bramble
#

can i still play paladin or any upgraded ver. of the base classes even though i'm on free trial?

warped nest
#

Yes

#

Trial level cap is 35

#

You unlock jobs at lvl 30

remote lintel
vernal bramble
#

Oh thanks for that

fathom sierra
#

i see the collectors on sale

leaden ginkgo
#

Do we just unlock more dungeons from msq

warped nest
#

Yes

leaden ginkgo
#

I hate how its lvl synced down.i wanna use mynew 30s kills ):

warped nest
#

Most dungeons are from msq, a small handful comes from bluequest

fathom sierra
#

worth?

#

comes with the minion and mount

remote lintel
#

uh

#

don't buy from there

warped nest
#

Which site is that?

fathom sierra
#

greenmangaming

little swift
#

gmg is ok

remote lintel
#

you buy the collector's edition on mogstation which is like 20 bucks or something

#

i think

warped nest
#

Upgrading to and buying collector are two different thing

remote lintel
#

well they were asking about upgrading

fathom sierra
#

i only have base game tho

#

i dont have shadowbringers yet

remote lintel
#

then sure

warped nest
#

You can buy Shadowbringers standard now, upgrade to Collector Shadowbringers in mogstation at a small cost

#

Or just get Shadowbringers Collector right now

#

Up to you

remote lintel
#

53.99 is a good deal

fathom sierra
#

it comes with every other dlc right? im only lvl 50

remote lintel
#

yes

warped nest
#

Both Standard and Collector edition do

#

Collector give you a few vanity item in game to look cool, that's all

fathom sierra
#

yea i think ima just do the base and if i really wanna spend the extra ill upgrade to collectors

#

thanks for the help

remote lintel
#

you get like 3 little items for an extra 20 bucks which is kinda eh imo

fathom sierra
#

yeah thats what i realized

remote lintel
#

unless you really like the mount

warped nest
#

Personal opinion: Griffin mount from HW collector is cooler

fathom sierra
#

i do but is it really worth 20 vs the others ?

remote lintel
#

up to you

fathom sierra
#

like i get the car without buying right?

warped nest
#

The car is not part of that

remote lintel
#

the car is from an old event

#

that you can't get anymore

fathom sierra
#

quit lying

#

D:

lethal schooner
#

Hi, i have a question regarding buying lands.. When I want to buy a land, an error message came out "This plot of land is not yet ready for purchase" Why is that?

old flame
#

Quick Job Question; Summoner - Ruin I for Hard Casting, Ruin II for movement casting?

warped nest
#

Unless they rerun the event, which we have no idea when or if they would

fathom sierra
#

can i buy it lol

remote lintel
#

@lethal schooner houses have an invisible timer when they go up for sale so that might be it?

fathom sierra
#

like i wanted that one xD im kinda hurt finding that out

warped nest
#

Yes, @old flame. On top of that Ruin I - Ruin II - Ability

#

Don't Ruin I - Ability

lethal schooner
#

Wut an invisible timer?

#

Does it also apply to relocating to empty land ?

old flame
#

Ruin II doesn't trigger gcd?

gloomy ice
#

@lethal schooner Housing plots each have a hidden randomized timer before an individual can purchase them. If you're buying for a FC or relocating, you can bypass the timer. Individuals have to wait until the timer expires. There is no way to see the timer and no average. It's completely random.

warped nest
#

It does, but its instacast gives you window to use Ability

old flame
#

ah

#

Danke Danke

warped nest
#

Egi Assault - Ruin II - Ability is a thing too

#

Basically, full GCD spell - insta spell - Ability

lethal schooner
#

Ahh holy crab. No wonder someone easily snatch it from me even though i already spam-click buying the plot for 1 hour

old flame
#

Gotcha.

deft quiver
#

why do so many people say "o/" at the beginning of dungeons? what does it mean

warped nest
#

This is also why people stream themselves clicking for 4-5 hours

remote lintel
#

hilarious

warped nest
#

Raised hand to say hi

remote lintel
#

@deft quiver it's a wave

#

like an emoji

warped nest
#

O is your face, / is the hand

deft quiver
#

oh ok

twilit arch
#

why would you egi assault > ruin 2 > ogcd

deft quiver
#

i only played fps games before this, so people being nice to each other was kinda rare

mossy tartan
#

Should I still think of trying savage content when I occasionally die in e4n+ raids?

warped nest
#

Is Egi Assault not a 2.5s spell?

twilit arch
#

they're both instant casts, there's no point in doubling up like that

warped nest
#

Oh, my bad then

shrewd owl
#

egi assault is instant

remote lintel
#

egi assault are insta

warped nest
#

So Ruin I - Egi Assault - Ability?

remote lintel
#

@mossy tartan if you really want to? but savage is way way harder

mossy tartan
#

I don’t want to, I just want some gear from it, that’s all

little swift
#

if you know why you're dying its fine to learn how to do savage

mossy tartan
#

Doing it for fun? never

remote lintel
#

well if thats what u want

#

go for it

warped nest
#

Clearing difficult content is very thrilling and satisfying, I suggest testing the water with one of the new EX first

remote lintel
#

actually i also recommend watching a video guide on an eden savage raid to see what youre getting into

warped nest
#

Then if you want to go harder, try Savage

mossy tartan
#

my morale is 0 after dying thrice vs ramuh

#

I only imagine what savage will be like

remote lintel
#

how are you dying to ramuh

warped nest
#

Which Ramuh?

remote lintel
#

eden

little swift
#

e5n

#

probably

warped nest
#

It happens

mossy tartan
#

I keep forgetting to collect the orbs + missing the tribunal safe spots

#

I’m hopeless xd

warped nest
#

Practice until you beat it into your fingers

fresh lodge
#

Practice makes perfect

remote lintel
#

idk what to tell you except that you should have more awareness of the battlefield and the boss casts

mossy tartan
#

and the other nocturnal ast had to take all the weight, poor guy

remote lintel
#

you really need it for savage

mossy tartan
#

I’m still not sure where to actually improve my awareness + dodging skills

#

Except “getting good”

crimson crystal
#

Yeah just keep practicing tbh

warped nest
#

Awareness: you shouldn't think which spell is on which button

#

You should be thinking, who needs help now, who needs help soon, what's coming soon

#

What healing spells do I have now

remote lintel
#

make sure you're watching the boss bar, make sure you know which phase you're in, pay attention to what your teammates are doing

crimson crystal
#

Eden verse was VERY hard for me the first few times I did it, now I like to think I got it down really well

#

Tip: Focus target boss if you don't already do that

mossy tartan
#

Focus?

warped nest
#

Right click on boss, Focus Target

steel wedge
#

Is the game balanced enough where I can just do the main story quests and not have to worry about missing out on something or if I am not optimizing my character correctly?

mossy tartan
#

What does it do?

remote lintel
#

@steel wedge yes

fresh lodge
#

Focus targeting keeps their health bar on the screen even when you're not targeting them

steel wedge
#

Ok ty

crimson crystal
#

Press square, focus target. That way his bar is always visible, even when targeting someone else

little swift
#

@steel wedge that and your job quests

#

those are not optional

steel wedge
#

Right

warped nest
#

You cannot messed up character optimization because your character don't gain stat from leveling up

mossy tartan
#

that sounds good, often times when I target the tank to heal him, the boss already finishes casting something

steel wedge
#

I need to get to The end of 2.5 before I can do my next job quest

warped nest
#

You cannot become suboptimal for a Mage because you played a tank for 30 levels

#

All stats come from your gears

crimson crystal
#

Yep exactly why you focus target. Never get caught off guard

remote lintel
#

@mossy tartan if you're a healer i also recommend paying attention to the boss animations so you have an idea of what hes casting when youre not targeting him

#

but i guess if you focus target its w/e

mossy tartan
#

Press square, focus target. That way his bar is always visible, even when targeting someone else
@crimson crystal I’m playing on PC, which makes it all the more embarrassing for me as I have faster turns

steel wedge
#

Right @warped nest so I don’t need to worry about having the perfect gear?

warped nest
#

Not until level 80

#

Even at lvl 80, it doesn't matter much

#

Unless you are doing the hardest content

steel wedge
#

Ok so focus on that then got it

mossy tartan
#

@mossy tartan if you're a healer i also recommend paying attention to the boss animations so you have an idea of what hes casting when youre not targeting him
@remote lintel will do, thank you

steel wedge
#

Also is the Garo gear still available?

warped nest
#

Nope

crimson crystal
#

No unfortunately

steel wedge
#

😓

crimson crystal
#

Mounts too

steel wedge
#

Oh well 😔

#

I wonder if they will ever release it again

remote lintel
#

maybe one day

mossy tartan
#

Is playing DPS easier than playing healer in raids? healing is getting too difficult the more I unlock trials and raids

steel wedge
#

I think that really depends on player preference to be honest

remote lintel
#

if healing normal raids is too difficult for you then maybe switch roles

#

current normal raids*

mossy tartan
#

I want to learn how to dodge and increase my awareness first, before committing to healing and wiping raids with my ignorance

crimson crystal
#

Based off My experience: Stick with Healer and you'll get good. I used to be garbage, but stormblood whipped me into shape and now I know my spells really well

mossy tartan
#

so thought of playing DPS for the current time period

remote lintel
#

i guess dps is easier cause you dont have a bunch of stuff to pay attention to

fresh lodge
#

Easiest role to learn awareness on is a tank

hoary storm
#

where did you put your party list in the hud Remilia?

mossy tartan
#

default - on the left

hoary storm
#

Try to get it a little lower and closer to the middle of the screen when you play healer

#

Really helps to keep track of hp and mechs at the same time

mossy tartan
#

will try that, thank you

crimson crystal
#

Yeah up to you, whatever's easiest

#

Mine is off to the left still, but is pretty large so easy to see

remote lintel
#

i have my party list on the left and the boss hp on the right haha

crimson crystal
#

Oof

remote lintel
#

opposite sides of the screen

#

i do fine tho

#

i just got used to it

crimson crystal
#

My small brain could not handle lol

steel wedge
#

I know for me I tend to go DPS in games

crimson crystal
#

Dps can be really fun

#

Even if ppl are like it's "less work" rotations are fun to get into and work on

mossy tartan
#

I enjoy healing more than everything, it just gets tiresome to die all the time when you should be keeping others alive lol

crimson crystal
#

I can understand that

hoary storm
#

You play on keyboard and mouse?

crimson crystal
#

Hence why some parties have two healers 😉

mossy tartan
#

Of course, I love getting carried by my fellow healer : D

#

And feels bad too for him

#

You play on keyboard and mouse?
@hoary storm yep

remote lintel
#

do you have macros to heal specific party members?

mossy tartan
#

nope

remote lintel
#

maybe you should consider it

steel wedge
#

I can’t understand a controller set up for the life of me I need to have a mouse and keyboard on my PS4 which always seems like the most awkward thing lol Because I only use that for final fantasy

remote lintel
#

so you can just click next to their name and heal them

hoary storm
#

Since you mentioned dodging, not sure if you did this already but changing your camera mode to legacy can help you dodge stuff

crimson crystal
#

This might help: read over your spells to see what they really do. That will help you know what to use in a certain situation

mossy tartan
#

My reaction time is fine, my only flaws are awareness and dodging to some extent

remote lintel
#

as a person who's only used controller on this game idk how people play with mouse and keyboard haha

twilit arch
#

honestly, awareness and dodging comes with practice and comfort with the fight in general

mossy tartan
#

Since you mentioned dodging, not sure if you did this already but changing your camera mode to legacy can help you dodge stuff
@hoary storm don’t know what that is but I’ll give it a try

twilit arch
#

the more you do the fight, the easier it gets imo to remember how to do the dance

#

but i would also recommend moving your party list to somewhere where its easier to see

remote lintel
#

^

hoary storm
#

Go to your char config > there will be 2 options on the first page, camera mode and legacy mode, try legacy and see if you like it and it helps you move around easier

crimson crystal
#

Yeah honestly sounds like practice is best if your main concern is learning the fight

twilit arch
#

like i personally keep my hotbars/party list in the middle bottom

hoary storm
mossy tartan
#

honestly, awareness and dodging comes with practice and comfort with the fight in general
@twilit arch I never thought of that, one fight I sometimes do out of boredom (castrum fluminis) the pattern got engraved in my memory that I never get hit by anything, I know it’s very easy but still

remote lintel
#

i died so many times on eden titan my first time

twilit arch
#

pretty much every fight in this game is just one big dance

#

that once you've learned it well, you can do it in your sleep

remote lintel
#

and now i've done it so many times that i can basically predict the whole fight

mossy tartan
#

I do want to play the hard dances, but wiping raids to increase my experience fills me with guilt for the others

tight yarrow
#

how do I leave after front lines? do I need to wait the 1 minute+? If I try to leave before, it asks me if I want to "abandon duty"

remote lintel
#

@tight yarrow just click abandon/leave

tight yarrow
#

there's no penalty in that case?

remote lintel
#

no

twilit arch
#

its ok to mess up and make mistakes while you're still learning the fights

crimson crystal
#

Castrum fluminus is not the easiest fight... so good job learning it. That same idea applies to everything else; the more you do it, the more comfortable you'll get

tight yarrow
#

cool

trail bramble
#

how does the loot system works on alliance raid

#

like in nier raid?

remote lintel
#

everyone gets their own chest

#

and by everyone i meant every alliance

#

so its the same odds as a normal party

hoary storm
#

last boss have one chest that is available to the whole alliance to roll

crimson crystal
#

I'm learning tank rn for the first time ever, and I just tell ppl I'm new, I do maybe not the greatest, but most ppl don't get salty and be patient to let me learn

remote lintel
#

tank ez

trail bramble
#

is there a way to make your chance of roll higher?

remote lintel
#

no?

crimson crystal
#

Nope, random

remote lintel
#

why would there be?

hoary storm
#

Pray to RNJESUS

@crimson crystal good luck with it : D I know you’ll get the hang of it

trail bramble
#

did nier 10 times today no drops 😦

remote lintel
#

what are you trying to get

trail bramble
#

just gear for my main

#

i'm trying to get a coffer

#

though that's what i really want

remote lintel
#

yeah good luck getting the individual gear pieces

#

make sure youre playing as the class you want the gear for

trail bramble
#

yup

crimson crystal
#

Is it still one piece per week?

twilit arch
#

no

remote lintel
#

not for gear

#

not for anything except the clusters

crimson crystal
#

Okay, wasn't sure if that changed already

twilit arch
#

it stopped being weekly locked when we got the new raid tier

trail bramble
#

is that normal cereberus should i just keep grinding and hope for a drop

#

@remote lintel

twilit arch
#

rng is rng

trail bramble
#

ok

remote lintel
#

what kael said

twilit arch
#

there's literally nothing you can do but hope it drops and be on a job that can roll need for the gear you want

remote lintel
#

when you count the fact that every piece of gear for each class in your party has a chance to drop

#

thats a lot of gear

crimson crystal
#

Btw nier gear is not the meta lv80 gear rn

#

In case that's why you're grinding for it

trail bramble
#

no it's more for aesthetics

i know there are higher level stuff

crimson crystal
#

Alright, just checking

#

Because I know people who grind every dungeon they unlock until they get a full set of gear haha

trail bramble
#

lmao nah

#

i just want the 2b bottoms

#

LOL

crimson crystal
winged steppe
#

How do i unlock memoria misera? Does it require relic weapons or eureka? I dont think im far on relic, havent done eureka either

remote lintel
#

you need to have done the lvl 80 relic quest

#

after you do the instance

jade quartz
#

You don't need to touch anything to do with the 50 relic, 60 anima, or 70 Eureka weapons.

#

Just need to pick up the level 80 quest "Hail to the Queen" in Kugane

#

and follow it through.

twilit arch
#

that said, "Hail to the Queen" requires you to have completed the Return to Ivalice alliance raid series to unlock

winged steppe
#

These?

jade quartz
#

Yes

winged steppe
#

Ok i did those, just need that kugane quest then

stiff stag
#

Which are the two servers with the biggest AUS playerbase, thinking about getting a server change

junior tundra
#

what class should i make my retainers

fresh lodge
#

@stiff stag Tonberry and Kujata

stiff stag
#

Is there a big diffrence or no?

twilit arch
#

generally recommend atleast one combat retainer and one botanist or miner retainer

fresh lodge
#

Tonberry is bigger and Kujata is the overflow server when Tonberry is full

stiff stag
#

like is one balmung 2 electric boog

#

thanks

twilit arch
#

that said, your retainers can only level as high as you are in that class so make it something you're interested in leveling

fresh lodge
#

If you can get into Tonberry you should, but if you can't Kujata is fine

remote lintel
#

you can leave

#

yes

#

you can queue outside of the box

vocal shell
#

Do you need to be the owner of an fc to buy a plot?

twilit arch
#

no, but your role needs to have permission to purchase land

vocal shell
#

thanks

frozen karma
#

where do I find the dungeon warnings? Like sometimes people or enemies have numbers on their heads, I remember there was a page that each corresponds to a certain mechanic

#

nvm found it

lofty pulsar
#

I can farm bird mounts unsynced by myself right?

vernal bramble
#

I'm quite confused with the skill interject, i've tried using it on enemies while they're gunna cast something like an AOE attack but it doesn't seem to interrupt it.

@lofty pulsar yes though some fights might be a bit rough to solo so its recommend to be a pld if possible since hallowed/clemency lets you cheese a fair bit

lofty pulsar

ok

ohhh no wonder, thanks for clearing that up

old flame
#

is keeping food buffs running really all that useful in the early levels?

leaden ginkgo
#

i think its more about the exp boost than the stats tbf

old flame
#

...ah right. forgot about that note lower in it

leaden ginkgo
#

for early lvls at least i can imagine it helps in a dungeon like that bc its stacks up pretty fast

old flame
#

yeap..and ..grapes apparently are really cheap..

grave glade
#

can you guys help me out ?

#

im trying to find the song / orchestrion roll at the near end of HW trailer

twilit arch

the song used in the heavensward trailer is called Heavensward

#

oh its a song by itself, i thought it's a bunch of ost mixed together

#

thanks man

apparently RMT is bad what does RMT mean akjndskdsadsa

RMT is fine..if your using the games store...using it between players is not (and a great way to get scammed/banned/etc)

oh dam

primal relic
#

noob question, I wasn’t paying attention when GC was explaining I can trade pink gear in for seals, where do I trade in pink gear?

twilit arch
#

the personnel officer, select "expert delivery"

gloomy ice
#

First, you need to be Sgt 2nd Class. Then, yeah, talk to the Personnel Officer and go to Expert Delivery tab.

primal relic
#

Ty Ty ❤️

#

Also when I unlock the lvl 30 dlc class ast/etc will they provide armor? So I can sell some of these old armor.

gloomy ice
#

They give a chest and leg piece iirc.

twilit arch
#

the heavensward jobs only provide weapon/chest/pants

primal relic
#

Dang, was hoping they give armor like samurai and red mage. Ty

frozen karma
#

what's the fastest way to level up an alternate job?

oblique yew
#

!daily

zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 7 Hours, 15 Minutes, 41 Seconds

gloomy ice
#

Depends on the role. Generally, the highest level dungeon is the fastest but that's not always an expedient option for DPS jobs. Dungeon queue times are generally much slower for those. Tanks and healers tend to have shorter dungeon queues as they're usually in demand. Palace of the Dead/Heaven on High is a decent alternative for DPS jobs.

sick zenith
#

What are centurions seals mainly used for? Are the 2 vendors in forgotten knight all there is?

gloomy ice
#

There is a vendor in Kugane as well once you reach SB. Both take the same seals and have different stocks.

twilit arch
#

old hw and sb gear

#

sb has vendors in both kugane and rhaglr's

#

same stuff though

sick zenith
#

So that stuff is mostly outdated/for looks now

twilit arch
#

ya

sick zenith
#

Ty

sick zenith
#

Are there any mounts that look like traditional airships

#

Like the one in final fantasy 3 for example

burnt terrace
#

Is there any reason other than glamour to keep augmented ironworks gear when you out level it?

mild ermine
#

For your other jobs in that role

#

If there are any

burnt terrace
#

Thank you, I’m running through to the game with one character and once I’ve done the msq I’m gonna start on other classes

gloomy ice
#

@sick zenith Sort of? They look funny however. One is a small platform you stand on. Another is like the one from FF6 but it's more motorcycle than zeppelin. Although there are two FF6 mounts that are lifted directly. There is also the manacutter mount. A smaller personal airship. Resembles a flying sailboat.

mild ermine
#

Yeah if you plan on leveling other jobs in that same role, it’s useful to have the gear already so you don’t have to repurchase it.

sick zenith
#

Yeah I have the mana cutter. I was thinking one you would be all the way inside

#

What are the names of the mounts you mentioned

smoky glade
#

is there a way to get on the fist of rhalgr's reach?

#

like where the cinematic happens

marble drift
#

No

smoky glade
#

that's a shame

gloomy ice
#

Gloria-class Airship, Falcon, Magitek Predator, and Magitek Sky Armor in the order I listed. @sick zenith

sick zenith

Hi - looking to try out the game. Is the starter edition from Steam a good place to start? Or is there somewhere else better to purchase?

#

I'm in Australia so I imagine I'd have to play on NA.

obsidian patio
#

Yes, just be aware that buying the game on steam means you can only buy the expansions on steam and have to launch the game through steam.

lime geode
#

I downloaded the installer from Square Enix but it requires a registration key. So wasn't sure if I should try to buy one from an online site or just go with Steam.

obsidian patio
#

sounds like you downloaded the non-trial version

#

!faq gotrial

zinc orbitBOT
lime geode
#

Ah, didn't realise there was a trial, thanks.

#

Does it let you play through a few levels?

obsidian patio
#

it has a level cap of 35.

gloomy ice
#

Trial has no time limit. Just a level cap of 35

lime geode
#

Oh, that sounds pretty generous.

marble drift
#

Note: for us aussies (hi! :3) our best servers are Japanese

#

most of the time. it varies from person to person

#

but almost all of us sensible folk use a VPN

lime geode
#

Hi! Interesting. I assume most people are chatting in Japanese then?

marble drift
#

Its generally a 50/50 split

lime geode
#

Huh, I speak Japanese but my reading has deteriorated. Might be ok.

marble drift
#

at least on the 2 majority EN servers in the JP Data Center of choice (Elemental)

lime geode
#

And I have to VPN to Japan then?

marble drift
#

Or NA. like I said some people just get weirdly bad connections to JP and not to NA

lime geode
#

I'll check it out

marble drift
#

everyone with a lick of sense runs a VPN however.

lime geode
#

Why is that?

marble drift
#

because if you do. 300ms is the norm

lime geode
#

Right, and it's not a FPS or anything.

marble drift
#

and FFXIV is not going to be nice with 300ms.

lime geode
#

Ah, but isn't your connection worse with a VPN?

marble drift
#

No?

lime geode
#

It's making another bounce.

marble drift
#

Yeah but often it already bounces you on default lines

lime geode
#

I generally go from 30ms to 200ms through my VPN.

marble drift
#

on which game? o_o

lime geode
#

League of Legends

marble drift
#

thats cause League has australian servers

lime geode
#

Right - no local servers

#

For FF14

marble drift
#

We've been begging for years but unfortunately no

#

If your VPN is a bit sus. I'd reccommend Mudfish

lime geode
#

I'll try mine out and see how it goes.

marble drift
#

data based VPN. but FF doesn't use any data (outside of patching so yeah turn it off before)

lime geode
#

Thanks for the tips

#

@obsidian patio Thanks for the trial link - downloading now. Wow 31GB

obsidian patio
#

Trial shouldn't be that big. thonk

lime geode
#

Hmm. I used the link you sent and it uninstalled the full version I had started.

#

Then started this one up and logged in using my account info.

jovial verge
#

Not sure if it should go here, rants or general discussion but have SE ever given a reason for the 'no two rings of the same type' restriction? It seems so arbitrary

median inlet
#

Heya, what time do I start to pick my class?

marble drift
#

on character creation

median inlet
#

Oh I meant like

#

Conjurer -> White Mage

#

Sorry

twilit arch
#

its the unique tag that causes issue with that

#

its not specifically "no two rings of the same type"

obsidian patio
#

!faq job

zinc orbitBOT
#
How do I unlock my job?
Info

To unlock your class' job you need to be level 30, complete all of your class quests and the main scenario quest 'Sylph Management' (lvl 20 quest) to be able to pick up your job unlock quest. Once you've done the initial unlock quest, you will be given a soul crystal which you must equip to become your class' job.

obsidian patio
#

@median inlet

twilit arch
#

seeing as you can wear two crafted rings of the same type, no problem

#

why the unique tag is a thing, no i dont think they've ever stated why that exists

jovial verge
#

Ah i see. That makes more sense and is a bit more reasonable. Thank you.

median inlet
#

Perfect, thank you

when do i get flying

Flying FAQ
Info

'How can I unlock Flying?'

Flying is unlocked through the collecting of a zone's Aether Currents, with every zone having ten 'green' Aether Currents found in the overworld and five 'yellow' Aether Currents obtained through the MSQ and side quests marked with a plus sign. Azys Lla is the only zone to not have any green Aether Currents. You must collect all Aether Currents in a zone to be able to fly.

'Where can I find the green Aether Currents?'

Upon obtaining the Black Chocobo mount you are also given an Aether Compass, which is a key item you can use to locate the nearest non-quest Aether Current. This can be set to your Hotbar for ease of use. Alternatively, you can use this website to show the location of all Aether Currents for a zone. http://heavenswhere.com/

'What zones can I fly in?'

Flying is only possible in the expansion zones.

obsidian patio
#

You unlock the ability to start working towards unlocking flight at level 51 in the MSQ

woven night
#

is there any use for leves once i have all my crafters/gatherers to max lvl, im back up to 100 now

twilit arch
#

outside of achievements, not really

marble drift
#

1 minor use

#

Anima weapon

gloomy ice
#

However that use is quickly supplanted if you're able to get scrip tokens.

marble drift
#

there is a trick you can do with alot of leves to get an item you need for a step in the anima weaponry chain

twilit arch
#

if they have crafters/gatherers leveled

#

then there's no point in doing leves for anima

marble drift
#

thus. minor

steel wedge
#

Is binding coil worse doing? I only ask because it’s my favorite summon in Final Fantasy

marble drift
#

unsynched with friends for the story

#

sure

#

synched? no

#

also maybe for a blue magic spell or two. also glam

woven night
#

i wonder is gil from leves worth it?

obsidian patio
#

I'd say no.

twilit arch
#

eh not really

steel wedge
#

Where is a good place to meet people? I need to find some game friends 😊

gloomy ice
#

Gil from leves is decent? But not, like, a spectacular money maker. Odds are you'd spend more on materials than you'd make in profit.

twilit arch
#

unless you can find something super cheap to do

obsidian patio
#

@steel wedge most people hang out in the main cities, namely the marketplaces (area with lots of NPC vendors and marketboards)

steel wedge
#

Ah ok

woven night
#

coffe cookie looks pretty cheap to make

cinder patio
#

Hey, is there any way to improve overnelding chances?

I am level 80 weaver and trying to overmeld my Neo-ishgardian dancer gear, but damn materia are expensive at this level lol.

warped nest
#

Nope

cinder patio
#

Rip, that’s what I feared. Oh well, just gotta brute force it then I suppose

warped nest
#

I just want to point out that it is no longer worth overmelding neo-Ishgardian gear as there are higher ilvl stuff available

vernal bramble
#

when i buy the DLCs, do i get some gifts/rewards? (e.g: cosmetics, minions, pets, or anything vanity wise)

warped nest
#

Standard edition of the expansion gives you new quest lines, dungeons, etc, with many earnable vanity items from various in game activities

#

Collector edition will give some exclusive pets and mount on top of the standard edition stuff

vernal bramble
#

ohh i see, thanks

cinder patio
#

@warped nest yeah but consider this: I am terrible and can’t seem to actually get the hang of Memoria Miseria to earn idealized gear (which means savage raids are just out of the question).

There is allegory tombstone gear but due to the cap that’s slow to earn, and I’d prefer to use it for white mage rather then dancer

twilit arch
#

overmelding isn't really going to help you that much

warped nest
#

5.3 will introduce an upgrade to Neo-Ishgardian

#

(based on previous pattern)

#

And it will probably outclass base Neo-Ishgardian, despite not being able to overmeld

wispy basalt
#

how to turn off novice chat sound it's annoying (please)

cinder patio
#

Eh true. Thought it would be fun but it was very expensive to fully overmeld a single piece. I’m just running normal dungeons and occasionally normal raids anyway so I suppose I’m already well equipped for that.

warped nest
#

It is simply not worth spending your Gil on overmelding dow/m in this point in time

#

Just meld the visible slots for a lil extra

obsidian patio
#

@wispy basalt /nnetwork leave should work

#

You can also change log filters to have the novice network be its own channel without notifications

stable hinge
#

Is there a way to turn off the mount music that plays while you ride

#

I just want to hear the area music

wispy basalt
#

you are not a metor

cinder patio
#

Yeah you are right, I’ll just leave it as is.

On a related note: Crit > DH as a dancer is the right materia choice right?

wispy basalt
#

@obsidian patio

obsidian patio
#

oops sorry, command should be /nnetworkleave

warped nest
#

Yes, Crit > DH > Det, don't add any SkS

#

@stable hinge audio settings I believe

wispy basalt
#

unavaiable

Kk that’s what I have. put as much crit as I could then put DH anywhere I couldn’t put crit

ohh okay
