wintry chasm
Do you remember the quest you are on Yuuko?
tidal yarrow
i am on a dungeon msq quest level 50
wintry chasm
Right well assuming that is the FIRST level 50 dungeon then you have like, 2 more quests and you can go get ironworks stuff which is ilvl 120
Can be upgraded to ilvl 130 too and it's basically the best you can get at level 50 and it's really easy to get
proud willow
it's purchased with Tomestones of Poetics, a currency you'll start getting from all level 50 content
wintry chasm
^
tidal yarrow
oh I see!
proud willow
just for doing the final 2 dungeons of the 2.0 MSQ, you'll get 500 of them
enough for the weapon
wintry chasm
You get A LOT of poetics from the first two 50 dungeons
tidal yarrow
also they told me I could get a fantasia for free at 50?
wintry chasm
600 Hiten
Yeah once you do the final quest of the base game story which is also like, 2 quests away
wintry chasm
"op"
It's better than what you would have had at this point in time in this stage of the game but it's still not the best you can get at that level
open coral
You will get armour which will allow you to enter level 50 content. It's not really "op" š
tidal yarrow
I always didn't care about gear so I kinda always was underleveled
so it sounds op to me lol
open coral
^
wintry chasm
Please no neglect
open coral
Especially if you're going to play a healing or tanking class
tidal yarrow
ye I am tank^^'
open coral
In that case DO NOT neglect your gear.
You will be too squishy, and make your healers very angry
median locust
Healers don't like healing a wet noodle with no gear lol
tidal yarrow
what does the shield do? except for letting me do the shield bash ability I don't get it
yeah okay!
open coral
+armor rating, and +block chance
tidal yarrow
oh so it's like a stats boost
open coral
A PLD without a shield is worse than useless.
gritty oracle
If I got a friend to enter my RAF code, and they stay subbed, will I get my golden choco feathers and eventually two seater mount without any further input on my part?
dusky echo
there's a tomestone shield at 50
tidal yarrow
I don't know I wasn't dieing that much in dungeons and stuff so didn't realize! but I'll fix everything
open coral
You probably weren't dying because a.) under level 50 dungeons don't actually hit that hard and b.) your healers were likely working overtime to keep you alive.
You will notice at difference once you start moving into Heavensward zones. Even the basic mob strength in the overworld there is scaled drastically higher compared to ARR zones.
tidal yarrow
ohh I see! just in time then
fallow sonnet
do houses have the same timer for personal use and FC?
median locust
Yes
45 days without entering it and it gets demolished (when the timers aren't paused like right now)
fallow sonnet
i mean the invisble timer when buying
median locust
Yeah it's the same
fallow sonnet
okay ty
median locust
Like it won't be up for FC's before going up for purchase for individuals
noble ember
Question, if I wanted to make a bank/storage alt for random stuff I never use is that possible? I know you cant mail your alts but is it legal to trade gil/items to a friend and then trade them to my alt?
forest laurel
there's no problem with that yeah
median locust
Should be fine, I don't think anything in the ToS says you can't keep stuff on an alt
forest laurel
you could also make an FC of your own for yourself and your alt if you have no plans to join an FC in the future
noble ember
Oo didnt even think of that.
median locust
right, then you can store stuff in the FC chest
dusky echo
- undersea voyages later
forest laurel
according to someone in my FC, those are a fucking bitch to work for lmao
I got him a fuckton of darksteel and mythrite just for the voyages
tidal yarrow
is there a difference between big ass shields and little ones? other than stats
forest laurel
just looks.
tidal yarrow
like on dark souls it matters
oh okay
block str or block rate? what should I focus on
forest laurel
doesn't really matter, they become equal later on
tidal yarrow
130'000 gil for a lvl50 shield is fair?
dusky echo
which shield is it
forest laurel
!iglam mighty thunderhead
zinc orbitBOT
Images of glamour items by Gamer Escape.
forest laurel
that's a craftable shield
median locust
The background color doesn't mean much for gear, and that's a shield usually used for its looks more than as an actual shield
forest laurel
you don't need it
dusky echo
it's like 30k to craft that shield
median locust
you don't need to buy gear from the MB, if you don't have the level you can buy accessories from vendors in any main city
forest laurel
you can focus on glam later on
tidal yarrow
is it possible that the quaintrelleās dress is not on my mb?
someone told me to look for it but I can't find it..
median locust
It's gonna be there, you can definitely buy it on the MB
also it's called "Quaintrelle's Ruffled Dress", maybe you got the name wrong
tidal yarrow
I'm looking at armors and I swear it's not there lol
lemme try again
oh there is 2 pages!!
ehw
median locust
that dress is also a lv1 dress with no stats so it'll be all the way at the bottom with other lv1 body slot pieces
forest laurel
no price is too high for glamour
median locust
Yeah it's not easy to craft so it goes for a bit. 900k does seem high though lol
left cedar
How does region work for the mogstation. I live in Europe and play on Crystal, which is an NA data center. I want to give a birthday present to one of my friends who live in the US, and play on the same data center. How would I go about that? Does it matter which region of the mogstation I buy from?
tidal yarrow
I just realized I got gifted the other day something that costs 350k on mb woah..
forest laurel
nice
tidal yarrow
is there a way to pass on items with cursor without opening the items detail?
dusky echo
nice, where'd you find it
median locust
There's something for that somewhere in character settings, can't remember where. But you can set it so the item details always open in the corner of your screen instead
Or wherever else you choose
gloomy ice
@left cedar Things like glam items, mounts, fantasias, etc. gifted from mogstation are not locked by region. However subscriptions and licenses are.
As long as you purchase it as a gift code, your friend can use it.
left cedar
Licences? Like what? As in the actual game itself?
gloomy ice
Yeah. That stuff is region locked.
left cedar
That's fair. It's probably gonna be a mount of glam
or*
Thanks for clearing that up for me!
dusky echo
clear it out!
gloomy ice
Youāll have to sell off some of your old armor to make space or put it in your retainerās inventory. Itās likely your rings. That space usually fills first.
median locust
Ctrl-I to open your armory chest by default
gloomy ice
Yeah any vendor will do. Be certain youāre selling things you donāt plan on using.
zinc orbitBOT
leaden ginkgo
can i become a dark knight at lvl 30? i heard it was possible but idk how or where to start
gloomy ice
No, dark knight only starts at level 30. To unlock it you need to get through the main quests all the way to the beginning of Heavensward, which is a level 50 quest.
leaden ginkgo
breh
tidal yarrow
if I have something in my glamour plate it doesn't appear on my inventory right?
cause I can't find an armor
dry ocean
can I use dye twice on an equipment?
open coral
If an item is in your glamour dresser, it will not be in your inventory or armory, no @tidal yarrow
@dry ocean Yes, you can re-dye any piece of armour any number of times.
tidal yarrow
do I need materials or do I need to spend anything to un-glamour something?
faint flare
You need dispellers
open coral
Why do you need to un-glam things?
tidal yarrow
idk it's hard to recognise stuff its weird
open coral
Right click > Try On
That will show you the original appearance of any piece of gear.
Without the need to remove the glamour
tidal yarrow
yeah yeah! thx
median locust
That still shows the glamour if you Try On a glamoured item
but you can right click -> Link then post it somewhere in chat
then right click -> Try On from the Link and it'll show the original
raw solstice
you don't have to post it, either
you can right click -> search for item, or use the "Try On" and it'll link the item in chat by the equipment name so you can try on the base (unglamoured) version
pine bluff
how far into SB do you get access to trade in poetics for lvl 70 stuff?
median locust
You have to beat all of 4.0 MSQ
pine bluff
so... far
median locust
Vendors don't unlock until you've beat the final boss
open coral
All the way through the base MSQ for SB, yes.
median locust
same for Shadowbringers
pine bluff
mmm ok
lofty pulsar
is there a setting where I can turn off whether someone casts for a loot in chat? idc about the loot on other alliances..
median locust
Should be a cog icon on your chat window, from there you can select your main chat channel and choose what appears and what doesn't appear there
I forget what loot casts fall under though
lofty pulsar
loot notices and other's loot messages but nothing specifically for alliances or parties lol
median locust
You can't filter it by who casts the lot as far as I know, it's all or nothing
gloomy ice
Yeah so in alliance raids, the fourth general chest at the end is raid wide so everyone has to roll for it. As such that one canāt be filtered like that. Itās all or nothing.
leaden ginkgo
hey everyone just a quick question when i buy the complete edition how much in-game time does it give me, is it the usual 30 days or even more?
surreal elm
I just reached lvl 80 on my SAM, but I do not see the lvl 80 skill? Do i need to beat the MSQ first or do some lvl 80 quest?
twilit arch
30 days
leaden ginkgo
oh well, thank you kael
glad depot
hey i am fairly new and working on botany. i am in the right area on the right resource nodes but i cant find marjoram?
gloomy ice
@surreal elm Level 80 skills are acquired automatically, no need for a quest. SAMs is called Shoha.
dry ocean
are they survey point in shb randomize?
median locust
Survey point?
surreal elm
@gloomy ice Yea that is what I thought. But i do not see a lvl 80 skill when I open the Action & Traits tab.
nbm
nvm.. im an idiot. they dont go in order LOL
dry ocean
@median locust the city of ancient quest
median locust
Not randomized as far as I know
@glad depot Is your current class botanist? The nodes won't show up if you're a battle class
strong sphinx
does anyone have the same problem: when i am ingame, i seem to experience stutter during watching streams or youtube videos. I am watching them on a different monitor. i dont have this issue in other games, any fix?
median locust
@strong sphinx How much RAM do you have? I know I had the same problem and it was fixed after I upgraded to 16GB.
gloomy ice
Bentbranch has a ton of gathering nodes at or near the same level. Try one of the other nearby nodes.
strong sphinx
@median locust I have 32gb, in advance: ryzen 7 + 1080ti
glad depot
ill try that
median locust
No idea then, sorry. My PC is way weaker and I don't have the issue :v
strong sphinx
there has to some kind of setting to change but i dont know what :/
fresh lodge
What browser?
fresh lodge
OS?
gloomy ice
Chrome has become somewhat notorious for devouring ram. Try a different browser?
glad depot
tried diffrent nodes still nothing
strong sphinx
i will try that
median locust
@glad depot Are you on level 15 nodes? Are you high enough level to hit those nodes?
glad depot
yes
twilit arch
(18.7-19.8) are where the nodes with marjoram are
they are Harvesting nodes (i.e blue), not Logging nodes (yellow)
gloomy ice
Also need your off hand tool equipped to interact with the harvesting nodes.
zinc orbitBOT
glad depot
ah ok thank you guys
i was hitting the right nodes in the wrong area
i have a ton of cotton now though
old flame
do you and if so; which one..need a gathering job for Weaver?
dusky echo
well you need mining and bot
median locust
Need no, but you'll save a lot of gil if you do Botanist alongside it
dusky echo
then because of mining you need bsm/gsm
twilit arch
Botanist and miner are going to play into weaver
median locust
Miner too but mainly Botanist tbh
gloomy ice
You donāt necessarily āneedā it but botanist does compliment it very well as most of its raw materials are gathered by botanist
twilit arch
but you're also going to need crafting materials from other crafters as well
old flame
perfect. I'll start with Botanist then :3
dusky echo
botanist has another benefit
glad depot
there you go
twilit arch
which is why it is strongly recommended to level the others at the same time
dusky echo
the stuff you gather is used in consumables
so you have a market for stuff
miner is generally a bit less valuable because you dont generally eat metal
old flame
gunbreakers are totally the ones that do right? 
strong sphinx
i think i fixed my problem! https://www.reddit.com/r/ffxiv/comments/by8zjs/weird_fps_lag_dual_monitor_youtube/ I have set my secondary monitor to 120hz (its an 144hz but my main monitor is 120hz but ultra wide) but after stocking up to 144hz the freezes stopped. windows is weird... the thread states that the refresh rates should be the same but in my case it made it worse lol
hot crane
so I have a lv 80 DoW retainer already and plan to level up 2nd retainer. some comments said that botanist and miner are good too yet considering materials are cheap as dirt, is it still worth it to make retainer those 2 DoL classes?
I am happy about what DoW retainer brings back all the time rn
dusky echo
er
dusky echo
there's many things bot/min can get which are worth the time
twilit arch
even if materials are dirt cheap right now, they can be really nice at the start of the expansion. Can send them out to farm materials while people are still leveling to get a start on
but that said, there are things they can bring that that should be worth a decent amount of gil right now
its just a matter of looking at the market
gloomy ice
Retainers canāt be crafting classes. They can be combat classes or gatherers. Each type of gatherer has its own table of things it can get while all combat retainers, no matter the class, have the same table.
leaden ginkgo
When do retainers come into play?
gloomy ice
Level 17ish? Just after meeting Minfilia in the main quests.
hot crane
I dont know much about DoL retainer tho. I suppose there is quick venture as well as DoW, it's just the reward is quite different right?
leaden ginkgo
What is the next patch? 5.4?
crimson crystal
5.3, probably coming out in July?
hot crane
I ask since some data seems to indicate that they are the same, which is strange.
twilit arch
The quick venture rewards are the same
hot crane
š¤
gloomy ice
The quick venture reward table is gigantic and shared among all types of retainers. Where they differ is in their exploration ventures.
hot crane
ok
twilit arch
barring the retainer type specific minions
the difference between them is the specific 1hr/18hr ventures
median locust
Had my botanist bring me extreme trial materials a few times, can confirm
twilit arch
combat retainers can be sent out for monster drops, like skins and such
crimson crystal
My cnj brought me a roof one time lol
twilit arch
botanist can go gather the same things a player botanist can (and can only gather things you personally have gathered once). miner is the same, in that it can gather the same things as a player miner
leaden ginkgo
Do retainers have a limit of how much they can fight or explore?
gloomy ice
Only by the amount of retainer ventures you possess.
median locust
They don't fight, and the limit on how much you can send them out depends on your stock in ventures
naive trench
if I'm creating a character to visit a friend's wedding, whats the fastest way of going about it? Start in gridania or does it not matter?
twilit arch
i would start in gridania yes
hot crane
I make my DoW retainer do quick venture all the time after lv 80 to farm reward. 18hr ventures still worth it?
twilit arch
since the chapel is in east shroud
hot crane
@crimson crystal lol it brought roof back to me 2 times in chain
naive trench
ah lkevel 15 msq to visit another city gotcha
twilit arch
18hr ventures aren't really what you would want be sending your retainer out on if you're looking to make gil, unless you want the gil pieces they come back with (or you want to be lazy and only send them out once a day). Quick ventures/the 1hr specific ventures are generally what you should be sending them out on
weak flume
Question about Odin's FATE: I know the weather type is "Tension" and I know what it looks like, but my question is: Does all of the Shroud have that weather type or only the one he's in?
Like: I'm in North Shroud and it's "Tension". Is he there, or could he be in say...South Shroud?
hot crane
hmm I see
twilit arch
all of shroud changes
so he could be in south shroud while you're in north shroud, yes
weak flume
Thanks
west swallow
I m new to spell caster (casting), sometime when I move my casting skill still out but sometime interupted. how do I trigger this
hot crane
so it seems we can also conclude that: we are gonna let retainer do just quick venture anyway so the retainer class doesn't really matter?
twilit arch
if all you intend to focus on is quick ventures, then no it doesn't matter too much
crimson crystal
@west swallow there's a bit of leeway at the end of your cast where you can move and it'll still finish
Like the last tenth of a second or something
forest laurel
it's like, 0.2s or so? more depending on your ping.
crimson crystal
Not sure exactly
twilit arch
its called "slide casting", and is something that's dependent on your ping
forest laurel
slidecasting is a very important tech to learn
median locust
It's like 0.5s but depends on ping
west swallow
oh ok,
median locust
The game assumes the cast already went off so you can move freely during that time
west swallow
I will try find some video about this
crimson crystal
Very nice as healer trying to dodge mechs 
median locust
Can't play Black Mage without it, lol
west swallow
thanks
leaden ginkgo
I abused this mechanic heavily by the time I found out you could do it at level.. what, 12?
Also when do you get your second carbuncle? Iām level 16 and I am tired of aggroing a ton of mobs with my little wind dudes attack.
median locust
lv15
leaden ginkgo
Does it automatically go on my hotbar, or do I need to drag it from the skill menu?
old flame
you still generally will with second one; now you just get a ability to migate the damge
median locust
You get the Topaz Carbuncle which is a more sustain-oriented summon
It'll be another skill called Summon 2
leaden ginkgo
Ok, I will have to check when I get home.
median locust
At level 30 you'll get your third summon that's more geared towards single target damage
gloomy ice
Have to unlock it by doing the class quest however
faint flare
Note it comes from your class quest
median locust
The Emerald one is for AoE damage so it's supposed to hit multiple things at once
old flame
and MSQ
faint flare
Which you should be doing already
leaden ginkgo
Ok, so focus on the class quest and not msq for now.
median locust
both
leaden ginkgo
The class quest is the blue icon, right?
median locust
But class quest before MSQ.
faint flare
Class quests arent optional, they're MANDATORY
old flame
I always end up way behind on the MSQ for my summons. lol
faint flare
Or you dont get your skills
devout canyon
how often does the NA SE store go on sale? I'm thinking of switching from PS4 to PC
remote lintel
class quests are below your msq tracker
old flame
Note: it only shows for the class/job your currently on
remote lintel
@devout canyon more often than the steam one
leaden ginkgo
Well, guess I better get them up to date then.
faint flare
They come uo every 5 levels under 50, every 2 50-60, and at like 63,65,68 and 70
Then 80
median locust
Keeping your class quests up to date is your #1 priority :p
remote lintel
also there was just a sale a while ago
devout canyon
is there a channel on here or a subreddit that keeps track of the sales on the SE store?
remote lintel
so probably won't happen again for a bit
old flame
oof nvm. your going from ps4 to pc..derp
crimson crystal
If you buy the game through SE store, can you still play on multiple PC's? (like the way steam works)
remote lintel
yes
crimson crystal
Oh nice
median locust
Just gotta redownload the game and login to your account
remote lintel
but you need to download your ui settings and stuff
devout canyon
thanks for the help guys
crimson crystal
Yeah and they've implemented a save feature for that right?
median locust
Ye, on the character select
remote lintel
yep on the character login
crimson crystal
Alright nice. I should save mine
devout canyon
btw if i already subscribed on my ps4 version and i purchase the pc version, do i still get the 30 free days?
leaden ginkgo
Does anyone know how to make the Hotbar ui smaller? I am having a hard time fitting in my pet hotbar in top of everything else.
remote lintel
if you buy the base game I think?
crimson crystal
Yep, open HUD settings and you can resize
remote lintel
idk if the 30 free days are a one time thing
old flame
@leaden ginkgo it's the pulldown bar under the hotbar name
gritty oracle
If I've a level 80 character, then a level 79 character will receive the 50% armoury bonus, correct?
old flame
says 100% default
faint flare
You get the free days again when you buy on the other platform
median locust
You get the 30 days once per platform, so registering a PC version would give another 30 days
terse grail
you get 30 days for every copy of the base game you buy for each platform
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo you can add your pet commands to your regular hotbar
devout canyon
Sweet, thanks guys!
faint flare
@gritty oracle yes
gritty oracle
you can also macro them
terse grail
would not reccomend macroing pet skills... i think that was a thing back in stormblood but you dont really do it anymore
gritty oracle
a macro I like is this:
/micon Summon
/pac Place
/echo Pet moving to <t>
The other is a heel macro that just echoes "Pet heeling"
remote lintel
@gritty oracle level 70+ characters get 50%
median locust
Don't think you can anyway, besides movement stuff
leaden ginkgo
Eh, I donāt really need that right now as Iām leveling, but Iāll look into it when I get to endgame content.
median locust
Echo macros sound useless and would only make the skill clunkier to use
gritty oracle
I like the convenience
gaunt apex
Hey there, when do I get to do the dungeon called Tam Tara Deepcroft? I'm level 21 but everytime I go to speak to the guy in front of it, he tells me I need to progress in a certain quest and I'm so lost.
terse grail
do your msq
gritty oracle
also it's good to get into muscle memory sooner than later
leaden ginkgo
Also itās better to take the bronze tokens over the gear if the gear isnāt that good, right?
remote lintel
@gaunt apex dungeons are usually locked behind msq, not level
gaunt apex
what does msq mean?
faint flare
Story
gritty oracle
main scenario quest
median locust
If it's better than what you have (usually has more INT for Arcanist) then take it
Quests with meteor-shaped icons are main story quests
gaunt apex
I don't know, I feel like I've done a million quests so far. I guess I'll keep grinding
terse grail
main scenario quests, all content is locked behind the story so that should be your #1 priority. #2 priority is doing your job quests
faint flare
Story locks everything in the game one way or another
remote lintel
@gaunt apex what level is your msq at?
terse grail
top right corner shows what quest you are on
gaunt apex
I have no idea
remote lintel
open your journal
terse grail
left*
remote lintel
what level does it say
faint flare
Look at the main scenario tracker
crimson crystal
Do 
but you do not need to do every 
faint flare
And it tells you the quest
terse grail
you dont need to do any sidequests whatsoever unless you want to. they give barely any xp and are mainly made to add lore to areas
gaunt apex
I'm checking
terse grail
you should be focusing on your msq, the tracker in the top left should look like this https://gyazo.com/b47254e3057dc5a2cd02bf165010bfbb
but obv instead of saying to be continued itll say the current quest you are on
this game is heavily story focused, everything is locked behind the story quests
faint flare
Well 99.9%
terse grail
^
median locust
yeah you can get as far as level 50 without doing MSQ technically, there's a lv50 dungeon that doesn't require MSQ iirc
But that's really the highest level content you'll get
gaunt apex
This one?
faint flare
Yes
terse grail
yep
gaunt apex
I never even noticed that haha
terse grail
make sure to do the small bubble quest underneath it also. thats your job quests and itll unlock skills as well as letting you turn from a class to a job at level 30
anything that pops up on that ui should basically be your priority
median locust
Sometimes it also makes you aware of important side quests you should do, like My Little Chocobo which gives you a mount
leaden ginkgo
Also do you use Gil for anything besides glamours? With the way Iām getting it I donāt feel like itās gonna be hard to come by.
faint flare
Buying.stuff you want
remote lintel
@gaunt apex festive endeavors is a level 14 quest, which is why you haven't unlocked any dungeons
faint flare
Like gear and sll
terse grail
glamour, housing, food+pots if you are raiding, but gil is not really used to much
remote lintel
you unlock your first dungeon at 15
median locust
You use gil for levelling gear, also consumables at endgame like food and potions
leaden ginkgo
Leveling gear?
crimson crystal
Buying stuff from npc's
faint flare
Gil is basically "im too lazy to go get/make.this myself"
old flame
also teleporting around like a mad person because walking everywhere on the MSQ is for crazy people.
median locust
Yeah teleporting, repairing your gear, etc
remote lintel
the good glams are like 1mil+
gloomy ice
Aside from end game gear, there isnāt anything like upgrading specific gear pieces. āLeveling gearā in this case just means gear you buy/earn while leveling up.
median locust
Yeah if you haven't been lucky while running dungeons, sometimes you might want to fill in a slot or two with crafted gear from NPC vendors or the market board
clever cave
Generally end game raiding costs gil.
gaunt apex
Is there a way to see what kinds of cosmetics there are? I don't see a MTX shop in the game anywhere, and I'm wondering where people are getting those neat outfits from.
remote lintel
the mtx shop is online
not in game
and most people get their outfits in game
because the ones on mog station are eh
median locust
You can basically equip anything as a cosmetic so every piece of gear you see is a cosmetic
gloomy ice
Mogstation, the account management site, also hosts the cash shop cosmetics.
median locust
Check the market board, click the body piece section and try on some of the armor
You can wear all of that.
median locust
hasn't been updated for a few patches but it's still really good to get an idea
gaunt apex
Where do people get the bunny ears I see so much?
old flame
..they may also be attached to their head
remote lintel
median locust
Yep, Gold Saucer, costs MGP which is a Gold Saucer-only currency
gaunt apex
What's the gold saucer and where is it?
remote lintel
unlock it in ul'dah
median locust
The unlock quest should be in Uldah in front of the aetheryte
I think it's level 17? I might be wrong
remote lintel
the quest is "it could happen to you"
gloomy ice
Gold Saucer is basically a casino. Itās, yeah, unlocked in Ulādah at level 15.
gaunt apex
Ahah
devout canyon
quick question, if you are still under the 30 free days, can you already start subscribing for additional days?
median locust
You can either set it up so it bills you directly when your 30 days end, or you can buy a timecard then register it so it counts as buying the subscription "now"
devout canyon
is there no way to pay via credit card for additional days ahead of time without it being a recurring payment other than buying a timecard?
twilit arch
no
wet cradle
do you get less xp if you do dungeons with the NPC's in shadowbringers?
faint flare
No
twilit arch
no
jade quartz
No
devout canyon
hmmm i see. thanks
wet cradle
oh that's interseting thanks
median locust
You get the same amount but the dungeon goes slower.
faint flare
Runs are just slower
jade quartz
it's just generally slower than going with players
though you do bypass the queue time
wet cradle
thanks
remote lintel
@devout canyon use crysta if you want to pay ahead of time and not be recurring

For some reason I can't add crysta, I get the i2501 error but I'm able to purchase stuff under the optional items tab no problem so that's a no go I guess

Is it possible to make kupo bot give a profile summary? A friend said on their FC server it the whoami command gave them something that looked like this:
remote lintel
it could be something with your location/vpn or you attempted too many times a day and got locked out, or you entered incorrect card details
devout canyon
It was the first time I ever attempted to make a purchase, I click the paypal option and it suddenly gives me the error code without even giving me the chance to give my details. I'm hoping it'll resolve by itself over the next few days
median locust
@cinder patio That's made with the ?whois command by the Ser Aymeric bot. Not Kupo Bot.
cinder patio
Ah I see, thanks!

hi!, im playing on ps4, my internet connection seems to be as good as always... but the game is very laggy, like 5 seconds delay for every action... is anyone experiencing the same? or is it just my internet?
pulsar marsh
is this an emote? or just a sitting pose for a dif race
devout canyon
was able to add crysta by using another browser. I still have the 30 free days and I just wanted to go ahead and subscribe for additional days. Will the crysta be automatically deducted after my free days if I proceed with this payment?
devout canyon
Ah I see, I thought it would get deducted right away as soon as I click confirm. Thanks for answering my questions! š
median locust
A different angle I mean, or a closer screenshot
median locust
I haven't seen the pose before at glance and it does look weird
twilit arch
looks like female highlander sitting pose
median locust
I thought only male Miqo's sat like that lol
gloomy ice
Each race and gender have different ways to sit, sleep, and stand idly.
Hyur also has variations for midlanders and highlanders.
Use the /cpose command to see them for your own character :3

My friend is a elezen duskwhite so is in the limsa lominsa area. I'm in the Gridania area. When will we meet up to be able to quest and play together?
gloomy ice
Level 15 after each of you finish the Envoy quest
median locust
Lv15 in the main story but you might be overlevelled for it at the time
static lava
I'm level 16. Don't remember that.
faint flare
Also race doesn't determine where you start
remote lintel
also race doesn't determine your starting area
static lava
Ahhh okay, I'm over levelled then
faint flare
Your class does
median locust
Do your main story, you'll get there eventually
remote lintel
people keep forgetting their msq level is not their class level 
static lava
I'm aware theres two lines š
gloomy ice
Well, you donāt necessarily have to finish the quest. Once you unlock airship travel during the Ulādahn/Lominsan/Gridanian Envoy quest, you can then meet up.
median locust
Airship travel is MSQ still so I don't think there's much of a difference lol
static lava
But won't my MSQ stay in gridania? So going to a new place with my friend will only have side quests?
median locust
MSQ is divided into three different stories when you start, then all join up into one at level 15 ish
remote lintel
up to lvl 15 the stories are different
gloomy ice
The Envoy quests are the convergence point. From there, the story is the same regardless of your starting city.
static lava
Oh sweet. So after the envoy quest, both myself and my friend will get the same MSQ?
faint flare
Yes
median locust
Yep
static lava
Wicked, thanks guys š
remote lintel
but you would only be able to play together during dungeons and things
besides like, running around together I guess
static lava
Doing quests?
faint flare
Overworld stuff is fine but solo instances are plentiful

Ahh okay. Cool, thank you again š
dry ocean
what are the uses of Phantasmagoria and allegory
faint flare
I460 and 490 gear respectively
dry ocean
Eden?
remote lintel
no
faint flare
And Phantasmagora can be spent on materials
For neo ishgardian
And high tier potions
remote lintel
you go to eulmire to spend tomes
gloomy ice
Itās a fantastic start but the Allegory gear will replace it especially once the upgrade materials are more easily available next patch.
dry ocean
Hunt Train?
remote lintel
you can do hunt trains to cap on allegory
dry ocean
after I cap my allegory. do I need to spend it for the next reset
surreal elm
At lvl 80, are tomestones of poetics still used? Or we start farming the new tomestones?
median locust
Can have up to 2000 on you (but it will take a bit since you can only get 450 a week)
remote lintel
@surreal elm new for new gear
median locust
Poetics have one use at lv80, to buy resistance weapons beyond the first one
surreal elm
Ah ok thanks!
forest laurel
thavnairian scalepowder, 250 poetics for 1
and you need 4 of them to get 1 relic weapon
leaden ginkgo
So once I hit 80, should I be learning all the endgame dungeons via guides?
forest laurel
nah not really
leaden ginkgo
No
dry ocean
go blind run
remote lintel
I mean if you want to sure
dry ocean
brrrrrrrrrrr
forest laurel
extremes and savages 100%
maybe current normal raids if you want to be sure
dry ocean
then blame tank
leaden ginkgo
Theres bo real upside as dungeins basically play the same
faint flare
Guides are only wanted/adviced for extremes and up
remote lintel
I don't think I've ever done a lvl 50+ dungeon without watching a guide
leaden ginkgo
I've never watched a guide
I see, so what should I be doing at endgame? The hardest diffculty raid content?
median locust
You can wing every single dungeon really
remote lintel
uh
leaden ginkgo
Endgame is whstever you want to do
remote lintel
sure?
faint flare
Getting gear for the hard content
remote lintel
^
median locust
Endgame is what you want it to be. Raid if you want, or don't if you don't want to. Farm for glamour, go back and make a relic weapons, etc. It's up to you.
leaden ginkgo
I just donāt want to slow down my group if they know their class. Donāt want to make it any harder than it has to be.
remote lintel
have you unlocked the Eden raids?
clever cave
Slow down your group in what?
Yes study how to play your class, if you guys plan to do harder raids, everyone should prepare
remote lintel
if you're 80 you should already have a good idea of how to play your class
leaden ginkgo
Iām only level 16. ;-;
This game emphasizes so much micromanaging group content so itās intimidating.
remote lintel
it doesn't?
the only micromanaging is in the savages/ex
which are completely optional
leaden ginkgo
What's micromanaging
novel orbit
Im on a new character and I cant remember. What are the msq requirements to get AST
leaden ginkgo
Get to heavensward
novel orbit
How fast can I do that tho
leaden ginkgo
Uh
Take your timr
Play the story
Don't rush to get astro it'll hamper the experience
But if you are gonna rush
5? Days
gritty oracle
ow
I need to do that on an alt too
think I'll just rush 2.0 and then wait for 5.3
novel orbit
Im on a lvl 22 quest
gritty oracle
tbh I think being grossly overleveled helps
alpine shadow
you need to get at lvl30 to unlock ast
gritty oracle
and a healer
healer means instant queues which means faster progression
or befriend one
novel orbit
Arent the quests to get to ishgard level 50
alpine shadow
idk how you need to get 5 days to unlock ast
alpine shadow
ah, rip. i didnt know that

What level is the first dungeon and is there a dungeon finder etc? š
remote lintel
lvl 15 and yes
static lava
Do I need to do a feature quest to unlock it?
faint flare
No
remote lintel
no
static lava
Oh, what's the dungeon finder called?
faint flare
Duty finder
zealous phoenix
If I buy Complete Edition for pc, will I be able to continue where i left off
faint flare
Yes
vagrant copper
Log in to the same account and you'll have the same characters
static lava
Only guildhests are showing in the Duty Finder thing
zealous phoenix
Nice.
faint flare
Because dungeons are added when unlocked
remote lintel
did you unlock the dungeon
vagrant copper
You need to get to level 15 in the MSQ to get the first dungeon
static lava
Oh right. How do I unlock the first dungeon, and how do I know what one the first one is?
Sorry for the nooby questions. I'm brand new š
little swift
Are you really sure cause im hitting my dummy behind me :PtiloThonk:
@faint flare maybe I'm just not observant enough
static lava
Corska just answered it š Thank you!
remote lintel
you'll know what it is because the game will tell you you unlocked it
and it's been added to duty finder
faint flare
^
static lava
Cool, thank you š
faint flare
You get a giant announcement saying DUNGEON NAME NOW AVAILABLE
static lava
I'm just worried that I'm going to miss unlocking some content etc
faint flare
All content is unlocked via story or blue side quests
static lava
Yeah I see š
Hopefully I don't miss any of the blue side quests haha.
Thanks again š
remote lintel
if anything you can just go back and do them
little swift
Blue quests that are for new jobs or for levequests you dont want to do are skippable but you own jobs quests you shouldnt skip
static lava
Okay
Thank you š
Enjoying this game so far. Very aesthetically pleasing too haha
remote lintel
agree
can you follow someone from clicking their name in the party list
or do you have to click their character
strange coral
You can target them and use target bar to follow
leaden ginkgo
Are levequests only good for over leveling?
remote lintel
oh u right
faint flare
Combat leves are pretty garbage
little swift
Levequesrs aren't good for combat
little swift
Pretty much only good for gatherers/crafters
But almost every source of exp is good on them
leaden ginkgo
I see, so combats are pretty much useless?
little swift
Combat leves have some achievements tied to them
But otherwise not worth it
Waste of leve allowances unless you got nothing to do with them

Nope
If you do get kicked you're lucky and dodged a bullet

I'd not worry too much and just have fun for now

You wont get rejected unless a party finder is looking for a specific job to fill
Which happens
Not a big deal tho

I did a ton of raiding in most of MMOs I played so that's kinda my focus. Nice to see it's pretty well balanced in FF XIV

Is there a way to default the channel I'm talking to instead of typing /p /s before every message?
I know you can click the chat icon to the left and change it, but that's extra steps lol
clever cave
Coming from wow its a hard thing to shake
rotund spoke
I played WoW for years and meta was pure hell
remote lintel
@static lava click the chat bubble
static lava
That's the only way?
clever cave
Imagine getting to end game in wow and being told u literally cant raid
remote lintel
oh wait
clever cave
Ppl get scared
remote lintel
uh I don't think there's another way
vagrant copper
There are some keyboard shortcuts for changing channels but I can never rememeber the defaults
static lava
In wow for example, I'll type /p and then it'lld efault to party until I change to /g or /s
vagrant copper
Yeah, that works too
static lava
Yeah but then I have to type /p before every message to messgae the party
twilit arch
just type /p and hit enter
twilit arch
it will default to party
rotund spoke
also imo leveling feels much faster than in WoW

quasi spire
For the WVR questline, the level 20 quest has me deliver 1 materia-enhanced cotton acton. Will I need to spiritbond it to 100% first? Not entirely sure how materia works
little swift
Spiritbonding to 100% allows you to extract materia from an item
Not relevant to shoving a materia into one
quasi spire
Ohhh, guess I got confused on that
remote lintel
if you haven't unlocked Melders do it in thanalan
quasi spire
Done that already
Also, what could I spend poetics on? I'm fully ironworks-ed up but still going through HW and nearing cap
clever cave
Buy shire gear
remote lintel
!faq poetics
zinc orbitBOT
quasi spire
Yeah I'm still a ways away from shire which is why I ask. Seen that guide
I'm on 1900/2000
little swift
You can buy more gear for other jobs you plan to level
Or turn the gear into gc seals
And buy stuff that sells that way
Demicrystals and unidentifiable ore/seeds/bone/shell
The unidentifiable stuff can be traded for soils which are used in gardening
remote lintel
get a head start on your anima weapon and buy the materials
little swift
You can't buy some of the materials until you've reached the step that unlocks them for the first time
remote lintel
oh
quasi spire
where can I see a guide for anima weapon? i don't even know what that is
remote lintel
it's a grind
little swift
!faq anima
zinc orbitBOT
quasi spire
oh boy, those requirements are wild
remote lintel
yeah
little swift
Relic weapons were like a build the best weapon of the expansion yourself
But they took a long time and a lot of work to complete
Nowadays the old ones are for glam
Not combat useful since we got poetics gear
remote lintel
the anima ones look cool tho
it can take like 8000+ poetics or something to complete
marble drift
its a big glam endeavour
little swift
Subsequent ones after the first one become easier to do
rotund spoke
sorry if I'm asking too much but is there a craft that would benefit my free company? Like for example can I level the culinarian one and cook stuff for my FC?
little swift
Crafters of all kinds can contribute to free company crafts
By submitting crafting components
For example pieces of an airship may require lumber /ingots/ glue/metal plates
dry ocean
what stats does piety, tenacity, determination does
little swift
A cul cooking for the fc would largely depend on if your fc really wants it
remote lintel
you can hover over the stats on your character page and it tells you
little swift
You can open your character profile and mouseover those
And they tell you what they do
rotund spoke
thank you :)) but as with jobs I can level more crafts right?
rotund spoke
amazing thank you :))
quasi spire
where can I find a bunch of level 1 materia relatively quickly?
quasi spire
you need to meld 8 for mutamix's quest
little swift
Or you can go out to spirit bond it yourself with lv10to20 gear
Go do some fates until you get materia
zinc orbitBOT
little swift
Maybe some of your gear has stuff that can be extracted already
hoary storm
You only need one really, then you can remove it and meld it over and over until you reach 8 times

I didn't mind any of the 2.0 padding since I always felt there my character was progressing and unlocking new things. Will 2.1-2.5 feel different since they're all meant for level 50?

not really as it won't feel different?
remote lintel
well what do you mean "feel different"
tight yarrow
like I feel progress in the level 1-50 quests
remote lintel
there is some progression but the early 2.X is a lot of running around talking to people
you get 2 trials in the span of like 20 quests
and also a dungeon that's like lvl 37 for some reason
