then a trial
I haven't had a trial since 73
there's a trial immediately after mt gulg
mt gulg > the crown of the immaculate
ah gotcha
Remember how HW and SB had 2 trials each not counting the final boss? ShB's second is just at 79 rather than at X7
the dying gasp is 80 tho
not counting final boss
oh 
main cities
ah, found it
hey i queue PoTD or HoH or pvp in different worlds but in teh same server, will i be partied with different people?
or is it server wide
No, queing is data centre wide
cheers
Doesn't matter what world within the data centre you're on
I've accidentally become overlevelled (lv. 28 on the lv. 19 MSQ)-- is this going to cause any problems or will everything scale me back down to be even?
You'll be scaled down for solo instances and dungeons
You'll kill quest mobs in the overworld more easily but it's not like they pose much of a threat anyway
Lol okay, thanks!
omg is the scholar icon glasses
.. yes
no they're handcuffs yes

I’ve hit 80 now which tomestones do I need for my gear now and how do I get them. I only have tomestone poetics at the moment
Phantasmagoria is the uncapped tomestone and drops from most lv80 content
Allegory is obtained the same way in smaller quantities. It buys better gear but you can only earn 450 of it per week.
Ah ok 🙂 that’s something I have to look into then.
she's in the building below
What is the recommended allegory gear purchase order for Dancer? I will have 965 to spend this week. So I could purchase a major armor item like chest or legs but it would take most of my tombstones. or I could purchase a smaller armor item like gloves or hat, and have enough left over to purchase waist gear or a jewelry item.
I currently have HQ Neo-Ishgardian gear, with a relic weapon
check the balance discord for your BiS
Upgrade priority typically is Weapon > chest/leg > hands/feet/head > belt and accessories
Grab bis pieces first
With relic you can probably hold off weapon abit
if you need ilvl, accessories are a good buy. but if you just want the best stats possible, left side pieces give more stats. chest/legs give more than hands/feet/head
Can stick to chest/leg > hands/feet/head > belt and accessories if you're not gonna do savage, otherwise yeah, buy your best in slot pieces first and foremost
I don't really need ilvl for the sake of item level, already 480 which is enough to do any content I wish (not sure if it is enough for savage raids, but I don't plan to do those anyway). So save them and buy a weapon next week then is probably my best bet?
The current highest iLv raid is 480, you're good
You need 7 weeks for the weapon
Due to the weekly lock on the blade
Or clear E6S and win the tomestone
Oh I see. That is a ways off then. Alright then, thanks for the help!

is diadem good for gathering to 80?
yes
amazingly good
get a few manuals, hop in and gather away
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?
you get gold chocobo feathers when they first enter the code @gritty oracle
you don't get them when they sub
ah
leveling during story quest seems slow. is there a way to quickly level?
fates? hunting log? dungeons?
ah, but if they sub, I still automatically get the mount, right?
leveling roulette
but I wouldn't recommend overleveling the MSQ by more than ten levels
when they hit 90 days subscribed, you will receive the mount
^
As long as you're on MSQ level or above, it doesn't matter if it's slow, you have to do the MSQ anyway to unlock 99% of content
If the MSQ says you're too low then that's when you worry about it :p
that's why I recommend staying a comfortably 5 levels above the MSQ. Makes fighting stuff easier too
doing sidequests because you're too low for the msq is not fun
I usually like to save my levelling roulettes for that, gives you a good exp boost
Hello I'm level 34 and I tried bard for a bit and I'm kinda getting bored a bit of it and was wondering should I try leveling up thau for black mage or get bard to level 50?
if you're bored of bard, then feel free to switch
tho keep in mind that jobs below lvl 50 are pretty boring
at like, lvl 60 is where they start to become enjoyable imo
Just be aware that leveling a second class without the assistance of MSQ is pretty tedious. I suggest doing dungeons. It also helps with the relatively meh leveling experience of Black Mage
Below 50-60 it's really more about "Do I like the direction this job is going?" and not "Am I enjoying myself right now?"
Yea that direction the job is going was def how I felt about vard
Why can I not submit this thing I have crafted to get scrips? It says white ash earring of fending, which i have crafted
but it doesn't accept it
have you crafted it as a collectable?
and did you craft it with enough collectability
So I should swap now and do the rest of msg with new class right?
If you like the proc based gameplay of bard right now but do find it too simplistic at the moment, then I'd stick it out cause it does get more involved. If proc gameplay doesn't sound fun then you can switch
Oh don't tell me I need to
no, I probably haven't
another bloody unlock chain. oh well. thanks
You guys are awesome
if you can interact with the house of splendors turn in vendor, then you have the collectable synthesis ability
I guess sell it or desynth it
worthless. cheers though

crafting collectables are essentially no different from raising quality
As long as you started the craft with the Collector's Glove on, you just craft as usual. Except Quality will raise Collectability rating instead of HQ chance
The main differences is that you don't need to 100% it. There is a min and max collectability for turn ins
max collectability being lower than the max collectability bar of the craft itself
playing 2 weeks
Paladin is a good tank and does its job, question is kinda vague
Like gameplay-wise, utility-wise?
paladin gets hallowed ground whereas that other guy only gets invincibly after dying (which is a worse invincibility)
like that
!action holy spirit
!action requiascat
Deals unaspected damage with a potency of 150. Potency increases up to 550 as MP nears maximum.
Additional Effect: Increases attack magic and healing magic potency by 50% if current MP is at 80% or higher , and allows spells to be cast immediately Duration: 12s
Well paladin gets more uptime on fights with requesticat, passive block chance for some extra mitigation, more skills to mitigate aoe damage with veil and passage
wow i get that soon
They have a strong heal in clemency for when your healer is complete garbage and can't press buttons
!action holy spirit
4 times + confetti-door at 80
Pls dont use clemency during req lol
pls no clemency, you lose so much damage using it
Clemency is for when healers are garbage or when you're soloing primals/savage
Sure you survive better but then mobs die slower
how do you get enough mana to cast holy spirit 5 times during requistat
is it 4000 per holy spirit?
how do i walk on mouse keyboard?
Vinyl Tails: You cast Holy spirit 5 times
[8:19 AM] Vinyl Tails: During requesticat
Does anyone know if Square Enix accepts reports from third party chats such as Discord or is it in-game only?
bruh i only got 10k mana
Dunno if this is allowed here. If it isn't just lmk to delete it.
A friend of mine from france bought me a Game Time Card to keep playing because I'm running short of money to pay my sub on time. When I went to redeem it it notified me that it's not possible to redeem it due to my SE account being from a different region.
I was wondering if there's anyone from the EU DCs that would be willing to trade an EU GTC for a NA GTC. DM me if interested and lmk if this isn't the channel to be posting this. sankie
I think the default walk button is /
Holy spirit is 2k mp
Holy spirit cost 2k
ooo
@young lintel in-game only
Thanks
Shouldn't you save 2k for Confiteor?
Talking prior to it
I see
Cause theyre only 62 so
thx all ur best
cant wait to get 6 levels to do that combo
requiscat to holy spirit
bye
should i level my first class to 80 b4 starting another one
Id recommend that yea
It doesn't really matter tbh
been trying to play this game for hours but i can't get past the character creator before it crashes, no one seems to have an definitive answer online so i'm gonna ask here
Try updating the drivers on your stuff first
Hey guys so I was just wondering. As I recall there was a giant whale that could fly but I feel like it’s been so long since Ive encountered it. It isn’t like a side quest, yeah?
It’s definitely a MSQ ain’t it
If not I don't really want to recommend reinstall but ping hardware hank in #technology-discussion
@little swift just reinstalled my os and gpu drivers but still the same errors
can send the error codes if that helps
Yes that should be it. It’s an MSQ right? I feel like it’s been so long since they revealed it’s existence
Yes
Its the 57 trial
Ohhh ok @faint flare thanks so much
For wut job and level
where can I buy/get a better sword for my dark knight? Am below lvl50 by the way
I'm lvl44 and still have the starting one
There’s a vendor in the Forgotten Knight tavern in Ishgard that sells DRK weapons from 30 up to 60 I believe?
what is the current composition for speed kills?
I’m not sure tbh. I don’t know if there even is a singular comp for it this expansion. I usually see 2-1-1 melee/ranged/caster but no unified comp.
so I started as a Thauma, how does one reach the city with the arcanist quest from Uldah
I changed my mind and wanna be a healer
Keep doing story and you'll get access to the other cities
Lv15 story quest
Uldah Envoy
thank
should i use tank stance if im not the main tank
It's helpful to be 2nd on the enmity list in case the main tank dies
I'd say yes as long as you're not spinning the boss or causing unintentional tank swaps. You might have to toggle it off every once in a while to prevent that.
but since Provoke exists, it's not really a life-or-death thing
True.
You just have to realize it'll take more than hitting the enemy to gain aggro if it's been off
im just a duty roulette tank. ok i'll turn it on
Hi all, quick question, what else can I do with those allagan tombstones once I’ve bought all my gear for my toon? It’s just maxed out and I don’t know what to do with it
!faq poetics

Lord of verminion
should i always be sending my retainers on ventures, i have 1.2k ventures right now and have been sending my min and btn on Lignum log and Dwarf Mythrite but im not really doing anything with it and its not selling, any item recomendations?
hey does retainer lvl 70 skip give any gears? or just the level
I sell lemonettes pretty steady.
But ultimately you have to look up what sells well with the ah sale history tool then let your retainer fetch that.
ah history tool?
auction house history
@clever cave I think only the level?
its just level
aw ok, thanks
What do those numbers mean? The “2” that the finger is pointing and the other 0s
there's 2 people making a party for that
In the party finder menu, specifically.
For roulettes its usually just ppl advertising something, they just use it as a placeholder
Thanks
is there option like /who "zone" to see who is in the zone
what is "rival wings"?
PvP
Pvp
You can open the adventurer list with O
Im on ps4
Ty any level i should be to join in pvp?
PvP doesn't use your own stats or gear, everyone's on equal footing
I see
You just need to be lvl 30 to unlock it
can I do any pvp mode to complete the rival wings stamp?
Rival Wings is a mode in pvp
Ty
is it possible to mine crystals when I'm 28 lvl botanist? I have access to all areas but can't see the nodes
they show level 26 unlock but nodes don't appear in Azim Steppe
You need to be level 60+ to see the nodes in the azim steppe
@faint flare tyvm!
Your first nodes that consistently have the crystals are level 50 nodes in Bentbranch, Moraby Bay, and another I can’t immediately remember.
For now all you have are a few level 30 nodes that can randomly have crystals
okay I see thanks
If you just want crystals to craft, might wanna check mb, they usually sell very cheap
So i have 400 Protean crystals yet i can't enhance my weapon?
nah just mining for levelling and making some gil at the same time
bentbranch/moraby are lvl 30 nodes
okay I'll take a look thx
Do i have to be level 20 to enhance my relic?
What stage is your relic?
do i go for slaying ring or fending ring when im a warrior.
You go to the +1 tab and trade the +0 and crystals to the +1
question
If I do mainstory quests with one job, will I miss all that exp for another?
or do main quest exp transfer over or nothing at all?
Quest EXP is only for the job you complete the quest on
Armory Bonus helps a lot
when to use damage reduction buffs? just for tank busters? or when killing huge pulls
the slow part is getting other jobs to 15 to where you can dungeon grind them instead of questing
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
@grim cypress Leveling a second or third job is very tedious. It's basically dungeon spam until you catch up to MSQ
qitari tribe is only for gatheres?
@desert ravine for dungeons you take a majority of damage during big pulls
Both is fine @desert ravine - really just a matter of practice and situation. Which dungeon is it, what's your gear like, how's your healer, etc
@vocal star yes
which level 70 tribe is for crafters?
Namazu is 60
Is the rathalos still playable as a duty? Or was that timed
Permanent
Where do you go for that?
Sweet
Hey everyone, I was wondering if someone can help me out trying to figure out what to do with phantasmagoria tomestones. As I'm gearing most of my alt classes with new ishgardian / edencall gear. The deepshadow gear is not all that useful. So I was wondering if there was something else worth buying using the phantasmagoria
Woah what happens in the Nero battle in Praetorium. Everyone suddenly took a lot of damage and I died 😦
@clear gull do you mean crystarium gear?
buy crafting materials with phanta to sell
@crimson crystal no, the other currency. allegory is used to buy crystarium and im slowly farming that for my main job
Ah okay
@twilit arch any recomendations on what to buy and sell, or is that server based?
you'd need to check your server's marketboard. or can just be lazy and buy like 10 of each
The first few items costing 20 Phanta will probably be your best bet
Geez I just got access to the airships and visited the other two cities. I'm somewhat intimidated by the size of this world! Anything I should do or just continue on the storyline?
it's safe to focus on the story
Msq
is definitely priority
but wonderful to branch out and check out other stuff
And try to do all
when you get to them as they unlock cool/important stuff
Uhhh, attune to every aetheryte, remember to do a lot of the
while leveling
Except ones obviously not important like extra class unlocks
Yeah I'm getting the bonus xp so feel pretty far ahead of the story.
I'm lvl 21 but seems like they expect you to be about 15 at this point.
"It Could Happen To You"
in Ul'dah will give you access to the Gold Saucer casino
Ah - I'm right by that one
which is a great way to delay your progress
To be fair you naturally out level the start anyway. It just catches up later normally
Hah - I'll check it out!
you'll also want to get "Rising To The Challenge"
next time you're in Limsa, that unlocks the Challenge log
weekly checklist of stuff you can do for bonus gil and/or XP
Thanks!
I have to head back there for the story.
Are there any healers in brynhildr server in here?

i'm looking to change race is there any animation videos out?
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=d5Q18Jm7CZM theres this one that include some animations but not for all races I think
READ THE DESCRIPTION
Basic movement cycles for Hyur, Elezen, and Miqo'te, plus sitting poses and dances. I made this mainly as a tool for choosing a race to play as, as different animations for extremely common movements might make or break a character, depending on personal ...
You can try and make another char on another server to test it out yourelf
true
do nin's movement speed increase apply in towns?
and are there other classes with passive move speed buffs?
Only ninja has extra movement speed as a trait
Ranged DPS have this role action
!action peloton
iirc, monk and ninja are both 10% movement speed boosts
peloton is a 20% movement speed boost, and sprint is 30?
Think so, yeah
And on the topic of movement speed boosts, only the highest boosting one works, they don’t stack.
So a Ninja using Sprint is just as fast as a Miner using Sprint.
Hey, I've got a question. I've asked before about UI / graphics settings syncing across PCs because I've had super annoying issues with that happening.
Anyway I was told FFXIV doesn't do that.
But I've definitely noticed that every now and then I'll get an in-game error message in the chatbox that says something like "UI settings failed to save".
You can import/export your character settings in the character select screen by clicking one of the icon’s near your name
In-game? 
And things like chatbox font size, UI scale, etc are transfering between my two systems automatically, which is super annoying.
Yeah. There will be an error message in the chatbox occasionally that says something like "UI settings failed to save" or something like that. Not word for word.
Kind of sounds like you have your user documents folder set up to sync with OneDrive or Dropbox or something
How do you find mining/botanist outcrops further out or are they only available near times
I'm trying to math out some stuff for Samurai atm to figure out if I should be using the 2-gauge finisher in single target below 50, but I'm not sure if I'm doing the math correctly
It's a potency of 360, which is less than the single target combo enders but more than the first combo hit
Combo goes 200 + 320 + 480 = 1000 potency over 3 hits for an average of 330 per GCD, is that roughly how that works or is it more complicated than that?
Where do I find the quest for the DRK relic weapon?
Which expansion relic?
@tulip plover you can use your gathering log to see approximate locations of where the nodes can be
For SAM 3 targets or more use AoE, 2 or less single target
If it’s your first HW relic go grab the quest in the big building in Idyllshire
If not go to Azys Lla
I'm playing with a friend who's sub 50 so I don't have the single target one yet
Ty
SB relic’s unlock quest is in Rhalgr’s reach, but is accessed in Kugane at pier 1
And SHB is unlocked in Kugane
Ty
Are you a botanist?
Ye
I think the potency might be roughly the same for using it or not Buznik, since tenka goken has a casting time
I see cock feathers
Oh wait nvm
I see it now thx chet
Just lvling my gathering to about 40 since im almost 40 on my warrior
Does that little shine above an ingredient mean HQ?
If you mean this then yeah

is there a way to quick change between classes/profs
gear sets
Gear sets is the main way
You can also put gear sets on your hotbar if you want really quick ways
Or make macros
ffxiv's usage on my gpu is at 90~% (1080ti9 is that normal?
With the way my computer is usually roaring, I'd say so
Collecting 99 feathers is boring why so they make you do that
Where to get venture tokens? I dont have enuf seal income to buy them sadly
GC seals, beast tribe missions, or... the
that unlocks levemetes in different locations? @leaden ginkgo
GC seals is usually the best way
I dont have enuf seal income cuz I can only farm thru fates and such ,and im trying to promote
i must add, im playing everyting on max, but also playing rdr2 on full graphics isnt putting so much usage on my gpu lol
Oh well i guess grinding resources from trees is rather theraputic
Its a nice distraction from killing things
Get ready
Now i can kill things with a different axe
Because there is more 99
and then after that you need like 20 HQ items which have another 10% chance to drop after the normal drop chance
Oh boy i guess thats why you use the leve quests to lvl before doing these
The gathering job quests kind of suck most of the time
If you're doing the class quests for botanist or miner you dont need to do anything else
Cuz i see you can use skills from other gathering classes on another whats that abiut
example: level 30, start level 30 class quest, when you finish you hit 35 and continue the next one
is how ive had it
starting from level 5
But im playing with road to level 70
Ah ok
But gathering in gradania is pretty peaceful
Makes you take a look at the landscape and appreciate it as you destroy the ecosystym :)
true, it only took me about 3-4 hours each to get them both to about 50
you can skip the class quests and do them when you're 80
do them while leveling, they give lots of xp
If you wait till 80 wont you still have to slog through them?
yes
true
but with road to level 70 I get almost 2 levels per quest
without youd still get one
leveling gatherers isn't a problem with leves and the firmament anyway
you can use the mats from the quests for other profs which comes in handy
anyways, its up to you
Cuz im trying to get all this done so i can be self sufficient by lvl 50
And make mad cash
you make cash with crafters
Well yea sry thats what i meant
Where can we obtain lvl 30-40 weps? MSQ gives everything but the weps i need for my class
ah okay
main cities have gear up to 50
Plz tell me theres a gathering skill that increase the amount you get from nodes
There are some like that, yes
once you have enough perception
certain nodes give more
not while leveling you wont have enough from my experience
but if you went back to lower level nodes you would get more from some
@tulip plover there are but it costs GP
You increase yield with either a skill or a Location Effect
:0
They can stack
You have to be careful though
+yield for normal stuff is different than +attempts for collectables
it costs 400 GP to increase yield by one for the whole node
for collectables +yield actually does nothing
Wtf
Im assuming once i lvl all of these craft and gathering i will make a lot of money?
Plz tell me yes
Only if you know what you are doing
hell you can make money without gatherers / crafters just by flipping
Where is the weapon shop in laminsa? all i can find is everything but the wep shop
you right click on it and hit decipher
there is no decipher
It's a level 36
in .... Eastern La Noscea?
any tips for the not so secret temple?
everytime I make it to the end the sentinels just spot me regardless of whether im in their line of sight or not
the end?
of the first area
I made it through now tho
The npcs can screw you easily
I got 12 by being spotted by the first room's golems. What of it?
it really shouldnt affect me since they cant even keep up with me
Gotta hide in corners and stuff when you go into dips
Wtf ok so im in bentbranch but i dont see marjoram
My friend is stuck at copper hell, he finished the dungeon but then upon exit, there's no one ot talk too
he went back to town but can't find painted Mesa either
did he miss something?
What's the quest description on his duty list?
Into Copper Hell
Specifically the one with 
Did they speak with the npc at the entrance of copper bell?
Into a copper hell: use duty finder to enter the mine
he talked to NPC, wait for a party, entered and cleared the dungeon
how do u vote kick an afk inside a dungeon
Brown
Party members.window > vote dismiss
ty
ok having him double check to make sure he did not accidentally did Satasha again
Where is the
icon on your friends map
Couldve entered sastasha by mistake if the didnt unselect it before selecting copper bell, so they basically queued for 2 dungeons and got the wrong one
To check, just press the
UI on top left
ok he's trying again. thanks for the help
Is spamming Holy in lv 50 dungeons a viable strategy for clearing trash or just a exaggeration
At the bottom
Don't see why Holy spam would be an exaggeration.
!action Holy
As long as you dont need to heal just spam the aoe skill
The real perk is blinding your party but meh
ty sometimes its just hard to sperate the memes from actual advice 
if you unequip a soul crystal, do you change back to the original class? like black mage to thaumaturge? or it just doesn't work that way
if you have any question use this channel, its usually meme free
The only time you'd need to become a class is when you are unlocking SCH/SMN after you got one of them
XIV meme are usually based on truth
Or if you're trying to unlock that one Conjurer mount
Oh, yeah, the mount
you have to unequip either sch or smn to unlock the other if you're arcanist?
yes
Junk you can sell on at vendor NPC
for inventory you get retainers, and also your chocobo has some space in its saddle
Oh really?
Glamour dresser and armoire can also store items
you get 2 free retainer with 175 inventory space each
And I need to go to a inn for those?
For the glamour dresser and armoire yes
for retainers you need to have completed The Scions of the Seventh Dawn (Quest).
and then go to a retainer vocate and hire your retainers
For the chocobo saddlebag you unlocked it after completing the sidequest "My feisty little chocobo"
Which is also the quest that allows it to fight
And level up

Right I did all that but how do I actually make it to level up?
##It’s level 50 for the same as me but when I look at companion level is level one
your chocobo rank is seperate from your level
your chocobo is always your current level
but you rank up your chocobo by defeating enemies with it
there's also challenge log listings for a lump sum of rank EXP
OK so basically just keep it out and it will level up when can I start changing his stances?
when you put points into the relevant skill tree
Or rank up
there's three trees, but you should ignore the tank tree
And where do I find that?
Does everyone get the same WT prizes every week? 
yes
Maybe I'm not the only disappointed one then xD
should i prioritize determination over skill speed
as dragoon
or just go with skill speed
depends on what you're looking for
I don't think DRG needs SkS or wants it due to clipping with jumps
:a: In general, we aim to have as low of Skill Speed as possible, but that shouldn’t dictate your gearing. You’ll want to aim for Best-in-Slot and always be gaining Item Level first and foremost. Having “too much” Skill Speed might make some things different than you’re used to, but it won’t have as large of an impact negatively as you think it will, assuming you still play properly.
You can utilize the bot command !xivmath rspeed x.xx substituting x.xx for whatever GCD tier you want to find the required Skill Speed to reach it. Using !xivmath speed xxx where the xxx is a skill speed value will show you what your GCD would be at that speed.
and just for follow up the stat priority for drg is :Critical Hit Rate > Direct Hit Rate > Determination > Skill Speed
i see i see thanks
I don't know if all the servers' fashion week is the same, but can someone help me with this week's - Brain over Brawn Head, and "Labor" of Love Pants.
Thanks so much!
Whats a really fast way to level up?
Before I buy the game I want to try and level the classes to unlock their jobs
On a trial... I'm guessing hunting log to 15 then spam dungeons?
Which dungeons? The one you unlock?
Whichever ones you get access to. You should have a few by level 35 MSQ
Do a run through of those and I should be set?
if i buy the brave new Y'shtola attire will it work on my gladiator class
that attire is useable on all classes/jobs
I doubt it would be "a run". It would be multiple runs to get up to level 30
kael
But do few runs?
Yes
can you change the attire to different jobs too?
you can glamour it on any job
okay 😄
outfits from the mogstation usually have "All Class" tag on them
unless stated otherwise
but this attire for all of them
What is the point or best use of the chocobo saddlebag?
(I just started playing after having taken a break since finishing vanilla Stormblood)
Saddlebag is extra storage you can access anywhere except inside duties.
what is that icon? o_O
I like putting materia in there or spare equipment to turn in to the grand company
That’s /busy
at level 80 crafters, should I get the script set, or craft sets and meld them?
I just started Dancer but if I get reverse cascade do i use it or do I continue into fountain
not sure how much of a difference it makes
Leves and ishgard restoration
I wouldn’t bother with melded facet at this point since 5.3 will add the final crafted set for crafters/gatherers.
Or at the least I wouldn’t overmeld them too much

So there are those 3 monsters that I need to kill for my GC logs
I got to their area but they arent there
The wiki has their coordinates as ??,??
Heckler Imp
Doctore
Firemane
They’re in the Halatali dungeon instance
It happens now and then
you can unsync them fortunately
You’ll do the same for Cutter’s Cry for Rank 2 and The Wanderer’s Palace at rank 3.
and just leave as soon as you kill them
How do I unsync them?
Turn on Undersized party
oh don't unsync them if you're not overleveled
From?
Oh boy I am overleveled compared to this dungeon
This question might seem out of place, but where can I find a transcription video / sheet for the trial “Castrum fluminis”?
can someone helpo me with my quest ..im new to this game and im stuck at castrum meridianum 😦 i already waited 3 days striaght still i cnt find any pt
Where do the Resistance quests start?
Kugane
thank
is there a way to mute someone so you dont see their messages? like someone spamming in FC or general
Blacklist
You can blacklist them
hm ok thx ill try that

is the na legacy world highly populated?
not any more than the others
I am confused what do u mean by that?
the Legacy tag for servers just means they are either old 1.0 servers or merged 1.0 servers
it doesn't mean anything else really, and is only really there for 1.0 players indicate that their 1.0 character might be on one of those worlds
I just don't want to join a dead world
There arent really any ‘dead’ worlds
As most stuff you do is across the whole data center
for Eden refulgence on mirror mirror the back triangle aoe = sliver of safe zone on the edge of the arena between the mirrors?
and the front huge aoe make the only safe zone on the edge
if that makes any sense
Yep
cool
What is the purpose of Place of the dead?
It provides a quicker leveling option for dps classes from 1–60 who want to bypass dungeon queue times.
Floors 100–200 provide a challenge mode with the potential for some valuable rewards.
61–70
Does anyone have e8s WL timer macros?

Is Heaven on High the best way to level dancer to 70 because I stopped right before shadowbringers start o-o
It’s generally a fast way yes
Also do your daily roulettes
Leveling, alliance, main scenario if you can be bothered
Daily roulette + highest level dungeon (but not lvl 60/70) beats HoH if the HoH queue time is around the same time
how do I use a cordial while using powerful hookset?
You dont

Skill Speed up to a level you're comfortable with > Crit > Direct Hit
Is this the right channel to ask about computer specs for FFXIV? I wanna make sure my specs are fine.
how old is your computer
Yeah more or less. Unlike DH, higher Crit stat not only affects its chance but also its damage. Since WAR has Berserk/Inner Release, which guarantees Direct Critical Hit, more Crit stat increases damage even further in those windows.
Yeah, that looks like you should be fine
Here's hoping
@tulip plover Warriors favour Det over DH.
But, conversely, IR also makes direct hit .... yes, what Lyon said.
DH doesn't do much for them because their biggest hits are guaranteed to be direct hits anyway
and DH only affects chance, not the multiplier
That's not to say you should avoid DH entirely. It's sort of unavoidable with certain gear pieces. You just, yeah, won't need to use DH materia.
i remember having cooldowns on my skill icons, how to turn it on? i prolly accidentally turned it off. I've been searching it on the settings and i can't seem to find it (i'm prolly just blind)
character settings > hotbar settings
ah shit, thanks man
Do ppl follow the ToS for bard?
the ToS is there so SE doesn't get in trouble for player actions
as long as you're not recording and uploading it I don't think SE will take any actions for it
in fact I don't think anyone's been banned for BRD performances but ymmv
just be careful is all
The ToS is there to shield SE
I know, mabi does the same thing. But ppl still script 3rd music.
¯_(ツ)_/¯
So o was curious if ppl in this game follow it seriously.
no
nobody follows ToSs to a tee
plenty of people play 3rd party stuff in game
they're just there for legal shenanigans
If people made money from remixing copyrighted musics and the owner want to do legal action
Alright time to find so weeb music.
SE can just go "we told them not to, so ain't our fault"
The owner can only hit the people who make the music, not SE who provide the tools
So performance in this game you gotta write it manually?
Or is there an easier way?
I don't know if I can answer that without being bapped by the mods
Pm?
I’m guessing it’s a 3rd party eve?
It's one of those "if you're not using it to harass people, don't say anything about it" kinds of things.
I’m sorry, im dumb. Why would ppl bot music, isn’t it only for fun?
because playing music is actually really hard
like even a beginner would struggle with a piano
its like playing a piano
with extra steps
so why not just get the bot to do it for you
Oooh okay. I thought you meant like they would log on a bot and spam music in public.
But you get the bot to write the music.
how do you view your wedding reservation time?
Well I’m playing on PS4 so that’s not happening.
I play the piano and hell if I'd bother manually using perform
without having an actual piano keyboard to plug in and map
hey yall, which Ruby weapon is better than the current relic for each class?
Oh wait you have to manually do it every time? It’s not saved? Lol
almost none of them since you can meld +300 instead of just +120
Wdf
that's why people use third-party.
It's literally like playing a keyboard
I can see that now. I would too.
also you're not in any reasonable risk by using it, or by playing third-party music.
I just assume you had to do it manually one time and it’s saved.
can I remove materia on an equipment>
However, if you upload videos of you playing third-party music to youtube or other sites, they are likely to be taken down
@dry ocean yes, right click -> retrieve materia
thanks
not to be confused with "extract materia" which is for converting spiritbond to a materia.
Lol well fk performance for me then, and thanks xD
Hi, I'm new and just bought Shadowbringers and want to try my first class in being a Gunbreaker. But I notice I can't get it until level 60, does that mean I can't choose a job until level 60 then or can I switch from Warrior to Gunbreaker at level 60?
You can unlock any and every job with a single character so play normally until level 60 then you can unlock Gunbreaker
Got it, thanks
You don't need to be any specific jobs to unlock expansion jobs
Gunbreaker is an expansion job
Just got my first message that a piece of gear is getting low on condition. Where do I go to repair it?
Lvl 1 earrings and rings seem to still be better than the lvl 20 at the merchant
ic thanks!
perfect - found him - makes sense
This all feels overwhelming - I'll just keep following the story. So many side distractions

why does binding coil unlock all turns in one go? shoudl I go through it in order or does it not matter if I do turn 5 first?
If you're just looking to clear it then just do that last one of each tier
there's 5, then 4 more, then 4 more
ah ok, do I miss anything from the other ones other than story?
you get a separate first time bonus from each one, so it's worth doing them all for the 1000+ poetics tomestones
ah ok
is there like a way to mass extract all ur items that are fully spirit bonded? or do u really need to do it one by one?
One by one
oh damn, thanks
do most people greed on all loot or pass on stuff they dont need?
depends on the person
I greed, only because there is no time for me to figure out if I really do want it or not (e.g. for my other jobs)
ive run through two different dungeons and pass on all the stuff I dont need but haven't gotten anything 🙂
i usually pass on things i'm not planning to use in the near future
I can't be sitting there going through menus figuring out if that item is better than my current one
when I need to keep up with the group
makes sense
so I greed everything
you might just be losing to people Needing
I don't usually roll on low level stuff
true
since the seals they give compared to lvl 80 dungeons is pretty insignificant
also, the "got item" jingle is pretty easily covered up
you may have won some rolls and simply not noticed
is it considered bad faith if I roll need on an item just because I want it for glamour?
no
If it's lit up, go for it 🤷♂️
if you have the ability to need roll, then go for it
ah cool
Most ignore the gear from dungeons, so if no one else is rolling for it, might as well grab it for the seals.
if they really wanted that gear, they shoulda played a class that could Need for it
hmm true
And if they really need it, they can always ask and you can pass after the fact
are some dps just.....unaware
yes
of what healers are doing
cause idk what else i'm supposed to do if most of our team is dead and i rezzed the other healer and now have to spam heals on tank
and theyre just like "lol wtf are you doing"
DPS tunnel vision too stronk
all they know is that they're not dealing damage.
lol i guess so
I play on JP data center and that's never been a problem for me
It has been noted that the JP player base has a higher base skill floor than we do but NA has a much higher skill ceiling. NA and EU have a much wider variance in overall player skill in other words. This is anecdotal of course and real numbers are hard to pin down but it seems to hold true from I’ve seen.
Can someone explain to me how to get the Evenstar set? I've long since finished ShB MSQ, and apparently it was a quest reward?
Is there any other way to get it?
you can buy it with allied seals, lvl 50 hunt currency, at your grand company headquarters
if you want to dye it you can upgrade them using the Sands of Time item
which either drops from Crystal Tower or can be bought for more Hunt Seals
I don't see the set at the GC? Just the armors of my GC itself

When do Eureka instances reset?
Sands of Time can be bought at the same place as the gear. Syrcus Tower raid also drops them. They’re upgraded in North Shroud at the Hrystmill settlement. Drake does the upgrading.
no, sands of time are not bought with allied seals directly
Oh right 😅
they're bought with Blood-spattered mark logs, which you can buy with allied seals
you need 3 logs per sand
you exchange the log to aelina in mor dhona
the gear itself is augmented in north shroud, like ironworks
So ST is probably the more expedient option then.
tbh you can solo second coil pretty easily these days
left bumper + whatever the right start button is
not coming back
I mean left start button
is there a w ay to auto fish?

Not as far as I know. 🤔
What are some good current ways to make gil?
But tbf I haven’t touched fisher lately
@tepid ether selling crafted stuff
Selling intermediate crafting materials that aren’t in vendors can be decent albeit slow. Reselling glam prisms/dispellers purchased with GC seals can be alright as well. Profit margins won’t be the highest but it’s not bad. The truly lucrative stuff comes from treasure maps, whether it’s their materials or finished crafts using them.
Is there a hunt discord for kujata?
Is there a way to share quests with someone in the same party?
not directly, no
there are some ways to indirectly help people with quests, by killing monsters together
but there's no baked-in system to do so
Got it, thanks
There are a number of dedicated hunt discords but I’m not sure how many track on Elemental 🤔
Question - I know that FF14 has a great story line, at what point should I be not fast forwarding through my quests?
Don’t fast forward at all
at least dont skip the msq cut scenes
where are you in the story right now?
I'm level 3 lol
most of the quest dialogue you prob can skim through
^
then just go for now and see how you feel about it
I just don't want to read through all the fetch quests BS
the general area that it really starts to pick up is about the ||titan|| fight that's where i'd put full focus in rather than skimming
but you can focus whenever you want
the story isn't bad
How would I know what's main story quests? Would it say?
yeah.. if it feels like it doesn't matter, it most likely doesn't. the parts in ARR that matters will be pretty obvious (as the situation starts escalating)
there's 1 particular point maybe 2/3 through ARR where shit actually starts going down
you'll know when
Okay, I just wanted to be sure that it doesn't start at level 1 or something
its about halfway into base ARR
So like level 25ish?
early on you're just a new adventurer trying to make a name for yourself
@tough grove look at the top left hand corner of your screen, that will always show you the next MSQ
Ah, that's good to know
around 30-ish is where i'd say it starts picking up
I'm going to screen shot this so I can keep it for reference
theres a few quests locked behind
icons stupidly
like one of the custom delivery targets
There's a bunch of red quests that don't unlock until 30 or 60
thats true but its not important for him to be thinking about at this time
at this time
and
that unlock stuff/class quests are his primary priority
the
that say "Leves of X" or the "So you want to be Y" can be skipped if you don't want to do those/unlock those classes
but your primary
class quests must be done
and are not optional
Right
can anyone help with some dungeons? i'm tryna do qarn a couple of times for exp
#recruitment-primal #retired-na-datacenters
its also 2am
its late
not as many people on
Thanks for the help @little swift @pine bluff
true that
Also, random question. I joined a server that gives bonus exp to new characters created. Would that make it so I'm over leveled easily?
overleveling isn't a bad thing
you get level synced into your dungeon/solo instance content anyways
Got it, figured it would be dimensioning exp rewards if the quest is level 10 but I'm already level 14
@tough grove to keep things interesting you can try playing multiple jobs at the same time
since you get 2x exp, you can space that out between 2 or even 3 jobs if you want
I recommend playing 1 dps, 1 tank and 1 healer
But I won't be able to do that until 30 though, right?
you can pick up a different class at 10
but the jobs dont unlock until level 30.
there are some jobs that don't require a base class, like samurai - they unlock once you get any of your jobs to level 50
What's the difference between a class and job?
class are basically baby versions of jobs
jobs are advanced
Can someone help me with this jump?
I've tried sprinting and ranged speed-boost but I just stutter/hover over it and then get teleported off the ledge and fall.
this is gonna be a longshot but i gotta ask, my husband character is locked in place in game -his hotbars are gone and he doesn't know what to do ;;
Thanks
only his hotbars or all of his hud
teleport?
he can't teleport apparently

queuing worked, he can move now! thanks anyway ❤️
there's a good way to get yellow scrips instead of custom deliveries?
spamming ShB collectibles
those give you a decent chunk per turn in assuming you max them out
eulmore
Requires unlocking collectibles in Idyllshire and Rhalgr's first. Then go to Eulmore and talk to Mowen to unlock. She's near the aetheryte.
is it only possible to clear savage with a pre made team ? the times are more than 30
hey guys! quick question! what stats should summoners prioritize when using materia? is it crit hit & spell speed or something else? 😄
minutes and all the party finders are ‘duty must be complete’
oh wait direct hit isn't just for tanks? for Summoners too?
Every job but crafters and gatherers can get use out of DH. Even healers, although it's kind of niche for them.
How hard is getting thyrus novus / nexus compared to animus?
It gets harder the more I want to enhance the relic?
novus you just need a shitload of poetics and gil
since you need to spam treasure maps for alexandrite
Oh god
and gil for a number of tier 1-3 materia
and then nexus is the dreaded light farming step
So I’m not getting it the easy way anytime soon I guess :c
basically the next relics are rng-based?
no
just a shitload of time
either from doing books, farming poetics, or just farming dungeons
Light farming is much faster these days, I've heard.
