good luck
thank you very much!
i want to make a healer now that i finished bloodstorm, shadowbringers is only a week worth of gameplay so no rush want to play the dungeons and other quests
which healer is better white mage or astrologist ?
Yes
to what i read one heals a lot the other has buffs
!faq meta
It boils down to personal preference. Which sounds better to you? Both are good in their own ways.
hm ok i think ill do white mage i prefer healing a lot and keeping ppl alive
dancer already has buffs
They both are supposed to heal lol
The only difference is white mage is a lot more straight forward
While astro has you weaving every gcd
I'm stuck. I was trying to reach Ishgard so I can get the DRK but the MQ is asking me to get to Snowcloak, it requires avg Item lvl 80. How am I supposed to get the DRK now?
Did you finish your lvl 50 job quest?
It rewards a coffer, inside the coffer is a set of i90 gears
I have the lvl 50 blue gear if you mean that
oh
maybe I should go check for new quests
Item level and character level are tracked separately. Item level can be boiled down to the statistic quality of your gear.
You can use your Allagen tomestone of Poetics to get high ilvl gears too
You should have the ilvl for snowcloak if you've been selecting the upgrades from the msq
!faq poetics
The gear it gives is more than enough
I might need to do more job quests, it was Alberic for Lancers right?
Mor Dhona sells i120 gears
At the top left of your screen, there should be a UI with
icon
First line of text is your current MSQ
And, yeah, keep up with your job quests. Finishing the level 50 job quest gives you item level 90 gear.
I only have The Path of the Righteous
sure
Phone is fine too
Alright sounds like you need better accessories.
!faq poetics
it was lvl 18
There you go
thanks for the help
Have fun
🙂
you definitely should have better accessories
if you have been choosing gear from the msq
you should have ilvl 110 accessories
What is the point of doing EX trials unsynced ,do you get anything from them?
since last night I've done 2 patches almost 3
Oh so you can still get those
Rare material to craft glowing weapons or minions
When doing old content and EX unsynced, do you still need a small group of people, or is any of it solo-able?
I've just been grinding hard to get the DRK
@leaden ginkgo if I may, when you get a new high level job (expansion jobs or just level boost), I recommend removing all skills off the hotbar, find a striking dummy, test those skills out on the dummy as you add them back one by one while reading tooltips. This sorta kinda simulate leveling up that job from scratch.
When doing old content and EX unsynced, do you still need a small group of people, or is any of it solo-able?
@tepid ether depends on the EX
You can solo ARR very comfortably
HW EX... Depends on the fight and what jobs you have
I'm DRK, if that gives any context
The later HW EX might be challenging for you
As you might not have enough HP recovery to survive long enough
Yes I will study the DRK to its core. I don't wanna be a rubish tank @warped nest
!faq tankguide
I just got to lvl50 with my dark knight and bought the ironworks armour from the tomestones
how do I get a sword other than the starter one?
!faq poetics
Theres a greatsword vendor at the forgotten knight iirc
But idk about the ironworks sword
use poetics to buy the rowenas token of poetics (10 of them)
Since you're level 50, you can buy a level 50 weapon with poetics as well. That guide should tell you the details ^
and an encrypted tomestone
those can be traded for the weapon
500 poetics total for the weapon unaugmented
Make sure you upgrade it while you are at it, i130 weapon is great into lvl 55-56 
as reference, lvl 53 dungeon drops i130 gear (not ironwork, just the same item level) , lvl 54 HQ crafted gear and lvl 55 dungeon gear outrank i130 stuff slightly
600 poetics total for the upgraded weapon
Question from me: I recall Yoshi-P or someone talking about selling augmented Poetic gears directly
Is that a thing in 5.3? Or coming soon after 5.3?
He just said it's something they're considering. I don't recall if he gave a definite date.
I'll check my notes on it rq
Yeah, not in 5.3 but soon after.
Considering or already doing?
Already doing.
So it seems? Pre-augmented is a really nice change for new peeps.
is there a lvl 60 samurai rotation guide
Follow the level 80 guide, always buff higanbana before you buff midare
whats the best way to furnish a house
im constantly going back and forth between room and vendor/mb
is there a way to make the process faster?
if I have an Au Ra character. what can I change with the hairdresser other than hairstyle and hair color?
@upbeat storm the steward/maidservant NPC you can put in your house has a majority of the Furniture that NPCs sell
can you put it in private room?
Is there any macro command for mount music? Sometimes I want to hear the Shiva battle theme, sometimes I want to hear the BGM, would be handy to have a macro for that
If you mean an apartment, yes.
Not a thing, Felix
Guess I'll be navigating to the menu to switch it off and on manually
I'm going through my dungeons list and I can't seem to get the trauma queen quest for some reason or another
nvm found it
@warped nest After a bit of searching, it is a thing. /mountbgm toggles it on and off! I can make a macro out of this
Ahh, I thought you meant you want to listen to specific themes
nah, just the mount on and off! The BGM in ShB is too beautiful to ignore sometimes, especially the night themes
anyone know why u cannot find monk in eureka?
been playing very long in eureka but never saw a monk
🤷♂️
If people are going solo for doing Eureka I generally see them as a tank/healer/Red Mage for the self-sustain

ya that is those famous job in eureka
seldom see black mage or monk
but even in end game hydatos also no monk or bm
and there is no solo in end game
Any disadvantage in using death as a recall? Been doing that without knowing if it’s harmful
Skill + teleport/return cooldown
Costs a bit of equipment durability, so you gotta repair it a bit more often
When do quests come up in Anemos? I haven't gotten one since I first entered
first one should appear when you hit level 3.
@wild terrace do more 
Tf
note that these quests do not appear in your quest log
i have none of those @warped nest
If this is not your first class, then you can do FATEs
hunting logs
Then dungeons from lvl 15 onwards
Try talking to Krile and see what she has to say.
its not first class
She just says there's some ruins northwest
Oh that part. Look for a piece of magicite to the northwest. Should be inside a small hut iirc. Just don't go there at night. Mobs hang out in the hut at night.
It sparkles on the ground
I can just kill em, I'm level 19
@wild terrace do your hunting logs, they give a fair amount of exp to level you up. Alternatively, you can do palace of the dead
fates ? they take forever ill just spam the armor boss
You can use this map to see where the quest objectives are. (The blue dots with numbers in them)
ok
no, the hunting logs in your logs menu
they ask you to kill 3-5x of a certain enemy
gives you a decent amount of exp
hunting logs are where ?
i need 15k exp + per level most of the huntings logs are done and they only give 1.7k , the armor takes 1 minute and gives 850
not worth it
1.7 is the highest one the rest are even lower
Do FATES
have you finished all ranks of the hunting logs?
most classes have like 5ish sets of logs to do
if you keep doing them, they add up quickly
ill do the calculation now
Just go and get them done, either your armor boss, the fates, or hunting log
they'll very much be "worth it"
Don't calculate how to level efficiently from lvl 10-20
for example, conjurer hunting log rank 2 gives 2.3k - 6.3k per each of the tiers, typically 10 types of enemies to kill. Then you get an extra 10k exp for finishing the entire tier
so just do them lol
basic training gives around 2650 per run which is 1 min long, the armor is worse ppl only kill main boss in 1min and get 850. The hunts get 1.7 at best and 2500 to finish all i need 3 more however they take me more than 2 or 3 minutes. Im a conjurer so i just there is like 0 time waiting in basic training. As for the fates takes to long to walk around
Doing 5/10 FATEs give weekly bonuses
What's the quickest dungeon to do for those moogle tickets?
Yeah, completing the set will give bonus exp

How do I unlock The Bowl of Embers, The Navel, The Howling Eye (Hard)
Urianger in the Waking Sands
ty
is it possible to glamour armor to look like it's not there at all?
Guys
Is the Eastern Garb for Women no longer available on Mog Station or am I just blind?
@pine bluff yes, there is a set of items called "The Emperor's New _____" which just hide the slot
!iglam the emperor's new robe
ah cool ty
One for every armour and accessory slot, and fist weapons for MNK.
How do I turn down Thancred's Trust volume specifically?
and also shield for pld
@sly rampart you can't lower character specific volumes unfortunately
He makes too much noise ._.
Does the FATE in outer la noscea “Schism” have any requirements? I’ve been here for an hour trying to get it but in its place I keep getting the other one “Make it Rain”
gunbreaker is haha sword go boom the job
@mossy tartan no requirements. It does start by talking to an NPC though
which you won't see on your map unless you're near enough to have it on minimap
It’s in the market board for cheap
ah ok
does the cpose for battle stance not persist?
I went to see goberin in vesper bay but he only sells glamour prisms
You need at least one crafter at level 15 to access the glamour vendors
don't buy from marketboard
@pine bluff I think the Grand Companys also sell the Emperor stuff too
they do not
ill just market board it
which you won't see on your map unless you're near enough to have it on minimap
@jade quartz I’m currently standing in the supposed place of the FATE (25, 18) and I still can’t see any NPC : /
@hybrid owl if you have the setting to auto-sheathe your weapon x number of seconds after combat ends, then you will also sheathe your weapon x number of seconds after the end of the emote.
Is it the Alliance Seals guy then?
ye, what i meant is that the pose changed in combat changes to default if i reenter combat
I really thought I saw the emperor stuff up there
@hybrid owl uh I don't really understand what you mean then
I don't think you can lb3 without a job stone
cpose doesn't give you a new stance or set of animations, it's just an idle stance
huh ok
any good looking DRK armour? im kinda tired or the chaos armour set.
doesnt /cpose change your default stance
I know BLU doesn't have an LB3
cries
your idle stance, yes
when u /cpose with ur weapon unsheathe it changes the pose as well
There's only 2 stances a weapon has in cpose
@stable hinge i like my yorha tank dress with the armguards
That's your unsheathed and idle stance
ye can i not make it default for the second stance
of the 80 quest you get from that smith dude
whenever i unsheathe and sheathe again it change back to the first one
The second stance only comes out after x seconds if idle
by default, you will automatically go into the /cpose stnce after a few seconds after you've set it by doing the emote once
so armored legs and arms in a black dress
you can adjust this.
You can't use it as a default because it's a idle stance for a reason
where do i set the timing for that
In character configuration, you can adjust the number of seconds it takes for you to switch to a /cpose
all the way to zero if you wish
alright cool
one sec I'll find where it is
i found it
is there a shortcut for right click > try on
👍
no
its idle animation delay
@pine bluff no
@pearl wharf Thanks. how do I access the collabs with Nier and MHW btw?
Rathalos requires a level 70 character and completion of the main quest of Stormblood. Yorha requires a level 80 and completion of main quest Shadowbringers.
Specifically, after you complete
Stormblood and
: Shadowbringers for Monster Hunter and Nier respectively
Thats what i said
MH: level 70 quest "The New King On the Block" in Kugane
NieR: level 80 questline starting with the quest "Word About Komra" in Kholusia.
Yeah but post game implies a lot of stuff
well if i implied after all the updates to stormblood
i wouldve said at the beginning of shadowbringers
Thank you
any person with a decent head on their shoulders not being a smart alek would know i meant post main game of 4.0 and 5.0 respectively
you're welcome hikari
¯\_(ツ)_/¯
I've discovered that unless you're exact with the requirements, people can be really dumb when it comes to interpreting stuff.

why you calling people dumb

Hey hey ppl, can someone give me any insight on how to copy text from ffxiv chat on ps4 via gamepad? If it's even possible.
@obsidian patio
uhh, it's a bit tricky, but what I use is Virtual Mouse to hover and drag over the text.
and then press control+C
if you don't have a USB keyboard to use then you can't. :\
Yeah. That's the problem :D
Fortunately I think the PS4 supports both USB and Bluetooth keyboards
so if you have a desktop or anything those should work
Were trying to share macro with player, he's playing from PS4, so yeah. Ingame tools allows pasting text with L1+R1
alternatively, maybe remote play shenanigans if you only have a laptop but ymmv
Allrighty, thanks for help. Have a nice day.
how many people would you need to do A8S unsynced?
There are videos of duos, but for a comfortable speed I'd say 4 at minimum.
I can't remember if the renumerations in A8S are instakill for the people in them if done wrong
I need avg LVL gear 95. Where can I buy higher level gear? I forgot.
Poetics in Mor Dhona
Oh thanks. I tried it solo not knowing what to do persistent misiles or something instakilled my ilvl480 tank lol
Vendors to the north of the aetheryte
how can I have 2 outfits that I can switch as I saw many people do?
@tidal yarrow gearsets
You unlock them when you unlock access to alternate classes and jobs
I've it for sure then
npc name? @slate arrow
Does someone know what informations where droped on the livestream on Twitch up to know? I noticed the stream very late and without VOD or translation i cant search for this informations at the moment
it's various NPCs, but as you walk into Mor Dhona from coerthas it's on the rightish in the tents
or, if you walk north from the aetheryte
Aeliana?
Either way it's the one who accepts Poetics and gives you Ironworks Gear
make sure you buy the accessories with your Main Stat
if you want a weapon you'll need tokens bought from the npc probably next to them
And for the weapon you need 10 poetics tokens and one specific Tomestone I can't recall off the top of my head
I want to say encrypted?
same, but it'll say anyway
Where can you get the dyeable version of the gnb bodyguard armor?
Memoria misera ex
That's the level 80 one yes? Have to do the relic questline and then do the extreme trial from there
Don't do the first four
Which 4
Start from the second tier
1-4 or 5-8
e1-e4
So E5-E8
Relic questline I see
for 1-4 nobody queues for savage nowdays unless it's for a friend
bc of loot lockout
1-4 gives old gear and is kinda useless and not run
Yes
and the pieces themselves drop from a level 80 ex trial @dry ocean
wait when does loot lockout reset?
Tuesday
!weekly
aaa ok ty
in about 3 days exactly from now
so there's no big difficulty difference between e5-8 and e1-4? just bc i dont want to throw them into something they're gonna struggle too much with
I'd say e1s is easier to dip your toes into but really all of them are just mechanically heavy dances
ok sweet ty!
So E4 is the hardest fight of the first tier and E8 is the hardest fight of the second tier
expect to spend some time figuring out mechanics unless you read a guide
Yeah sometimes some fights just feel harder than others
Like, E7 feels easier than E6
what time does the dailies reset?
Alternatively, if you want a nice weapon or dyable job gear, Hades EX and Memoria EX are also pretty hard but they don't have an insanely punishing DPS check
!daily
Ty
That long from now
They're still hard on execution though
plus memoria misera gear has 5 meld slots
480, ain't it?
480
I'm leveling miner atm and I see some skills that are at lvl 50 that aren't unlocked when i am 74 (e.g. Discerning eye)
Where can I go to unlock then>
did you do your class quests
Yes
ah
Did you do the collectible quest in Mor Dhona
you didn't unlock collectibles then
Oh,,,
you unlock collectibles in ishgard near the levequests vendor I think
the first collectable quest is in ishgard, near the leve people
What's it called?
Inscrutable Tastes
you need to do them in sequence per expansion but it's like the challenge log quest
brief dialogue, and then "collectibles unlocked" will appear
How can I enlist in this hunt board system? It says I’m not authorized
Which one?
I’m trying to accept the elite hunt for the monster “Naul”
my first time in this hunting board
You need to reach 2nd Lieutenant in your grand company
Okay. Thank you
if you haven't done them for the day.
oh so I should do roulette once a day
Each Duty Roulette only gives its reward once per day. After that, they are not worth doing for exp.
Leveling, Alliance and Main Scenario are the three that give big exp chunks. Trials also gives an okay amount considering how short of a time it takes.
Daily Challenge: PvP gives a good exp chunk but you may not get a queue to pop.
Other roulettes, such as Guildhests and Level 50/60/70 Dungeons, are not worth it for exp.
The only one you could spam is pvp since the match reward is always scaled to your level but you should just queue normally at that point
50, 60, and 70 dungeons were endgame back when they were current
Exp values are mostly just tacked on
Their function is to give tomestones, rather than exp.
so first time doing Bismarck trial, what do I need to know about this trial as some one who does it for the first time?
Keep the snakes apart
You should generally not feel pressured to research fights beforehand.
Interact with dragonkillers ASAP
and you can only hurt bismarck when you stand on him
And if you die you can’t comeback
die by falling off*
This is normal mode, snakes don't have to be separated
they still do, they just don't speed up the 'enrage' for that phase.
aha ok, :3 In general I only ask this questions to know something beforehand, I won’t look at vids online cuz it will ruin the experience :3
I believe the adds there have no proximity buff
How do the daily beastmen quests compare to spamming HoH for 61-70?
nice and quick for the most part
so doing this trial as an healer/tank, anything I need to know?
nothing specific to them, really.
is there any reason to not recruit someone for squadron?
yes, if they are a strictly worse (lower level) version of an existing member
you can only have 8
you can replace them but you can’t go more than that
ah ok
hello, where can I find a BIS gear for lvl 80?
just hit 80 and wanna know which things to put in gear
!faq balance
how can I get moogle dance?
thanks
note that they're a crafting beast tribe
cause I've no idea what ur talking about
tl;dr daily rep grind for currency which you can use on materia or special rewards
Rank 7 is the second to last rank so
You'll be at it for a while
Where can I unlock ex primals
Do i need to clear all eden to get the savage version
Im still stuck here at the empty
yes
Thankss
well, need to do an entire set to unlock the quest to unlock savage for that tier
i got my chocobo but i can't seem to summon it, does it need Gysahl Greens first?
If you want it as combat companion, yes
If you want it as mount, just look at Mount guide
Ohhh, no wonder, thanks! just wanted it as a mount lol

Can someone help me figure out why the Bladelance Skin wont appear even tho it says Level 13, and my Lancer is 14?
wont appaer where?
On me
Its a Glamour Plate
And the Lance wont appear on me.
Even tho its linked. As you can see there even an X in the picture above.
Is your current weapon stronger or weaker?
You cannot make a weaker weapon look stronger
OHHHHHHHH
Fuck
Thanks
I have so many Glamour plates
and that never daunted on me
lmao
thx
Im an idiot
No problem
Drop dead shiva quest is connected to MQ?
Is the role action rescue useful?
Seems too clunky to work
Also what does esuna exactly do
yes it can be useful in raids/dungeon when party members are out of position
As far as you need to get far enough in MSQ to unlock it yes. It isn't needed for MSQ though. No extreme trial is @leaden ginkgo
lots of boss moves that cause insta-kill if you're not standing in the correct spot
Esuna can be used to remove certain debuffs and stuff
Ones with the white line on top like this
It is very important time to time
Ok, and does one esuna remove only 1 effect?
are you sure because that's the only quest left from him and The Navel/The Howling Eye Hard isn't unlocked @wintry chasm
Right, one at a time Zero
I've been in queue for 96 minutes
for drop dead shiva?
is that just cause it's too difficult to run with total randoms?
so nobody queues for it?
Pretty much
I don't know how to unlock he Navel/The Howling Eye Hard
The quests for those should be in the waking sands at vesper bay
Right then you must have done "a recurring problem"
and by the sounds of it you've beaten Ifrit hard?
Papalymo should have the next one
You need to complete the duty
I don't have the hard
ah I do
nvm
kk
will do
I've thought I needed that stupid extreme lmao
Whats the best crafting class to pick when u start the game with no prior knowledge of the game
@mild tide probably the cheapest class
which is?
and i heard goldsmith is a pretty cheap class
all of them.
if you're going for crafting, you do them all at the same time so you reuse the gear as much as possible.
Is it normal to right click on an NPC and for it to take a second to bring up the textbox
but even so
you can easily power level crafting class in firmination
anyway i'm no expert
what's the best way to make gil in this game?
crafting tbh
ppl are always in need of raid food, and neo-ishgardian gear still sells
i see
if I buy ironworks armour, do I buy two rings so one on each hand?
Well not at the same time as they're unique and you cant have 2 unique items
You need to augment the ring first
Before you can buy another of the same one
Until when is that armour relevant? End of heavenseard?
What are the positionals for Sam? I don't see it in the description of the skills
Ironworks lasts until 53, 55 if augmented
Kasha and Gekko are your positionals
After 52
but they don't have positionals til 52
They give you kenki
Ok ty
Don't go to the very top
But the second(?) floor
Bridge goes into cave system. I think we all have made this mistake lol
I certainly did
Can anyone that heals or tanks help me que for the roulettes? I'm trying to level my dps
if you've got long queue times for dps, you may as well patch up the time with potd or heaven on high til the queue times are sub-10min
if they are already, fill in with fates

Is NVIDIA GeForce recommended for FFXIV?
Sorry about my constant questions, I just wanna see what I can do with this stuff.
How long does road to 70 last
Quest/Duty
The Bowl of Embers (Hard)
The Navel (Hard)
The Howling Eye (Hard)
All of the above quests complete
I just did this and I have no idea where Minfilia is
she's not in the waking sands
ty
@faint flare I'm already 53 so not going to augment it, but what do I do after? Just story gear?
nice yeah I still haven't even unlocked all the base game dungeons and hard modes
It will last you into heavensward when you get those dungeons so
I'm finishing up all my base game blue side quests first I think
what’s with the thing on between Cid eyebrows?? and I did saw another character that has the same thing in the middel of her eyebrows, do all garleans have it?
Probably a question fore #archived-lore-spoilers but its a feature of all pureblood Garleans
oh ok
Sometimes, I feel that I want to head out and gather however I just dont know what to gather. Any tips or recommendation? 🙂
bard/dancer who is doing more dps ?
bard/dancer who is doing more dps ?
@vocal star I feel that dancer is doing more AOE dmg, but perhaps that just me tho. I dont main neither of them 🙂
What is the secret to the extreme Kopa king trial?
Kill all the minion moogles at approximately the same time: when one dies, the king sacrifices his health to heal all of them.
If you have them all low health/dead at once, then he'll damage himself a lot with each heal.
He'll only do this a certain number of times
I can't remember if it's twice or thrice.
can I get some help
Anyway, then you just burn the king down before he finishes his long cast.
Don't dps the king until this time.
Okay so I changed around my VGA Cable to use the NVIDIA Graphics Card but now when I try and click start, the screen goes black and the mouse returns to the center of the screen
I can't click anything
please help, I don't wanna be ignored again
I don't know any solutions, but you could try #technology-discussion
@jade quartz thanks I appreciate that it’s just hard to time with a bunch of randoms.... just satisfy my curiosity... what are all the little bags your getting at the end of extreme trials?
The key item finding at the end of each Extreme trial you keep giving npcs
guys, as soon as I log in I get crazy lag 30s from login, like fps drops to 5-10, never happened before normally I run 100+
no idea what you're on about spyro...
any has any idea why this could happen?
@jade quartz the the three ritual foci You get at the end of extreme trials
What is it leading up to?
Oh, you'll unlock a special NPC who you can trade with to get Rowena's Tokens which are tradeable for some old weapons.
Old method of getting iLVL 90 weapons by running the three extremes.
King Mog doesn't have one, which is why I was confused by you asking it there
It's to do with a repeatable quest, "Primal Focus", which you'll unlock after completing the three ARR primal extremes--Garuda, Titan and Ifrit.
@jade quartz ah ya sorry 😅 I’m doing them both at once because I can’t stand incomplete Blue quests 😅
The weapons are inferior to Ironworks ones, so it's just for getting the glamours now
like the infamous
!iglam omnirod
if you want a gnarled face on your staff
Ah ok well o have a a full ironworks casting set and weapon I believe
How do I upgrade my ironworks weapon staff?
Purchase a Carbontwine from the tomestone exchange in Revenant's Toll, then take it and your staff to Drake in Hyrstmill, North Shroud
and trade the carbontwine and staff to hiim for the augmented version.
Same process for augmenting all the ironworks gear
carbontwine for armour, carboncoat for accessories.
(Belt is twine)
So I’m still in the post ARR content... is it worth getting the 120 item level ironwork set?
Or am I wasting my time because it’s going to get so run over by HW expansion and future updates?
@jade quartz
https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Cloth_Cointe_Quaint how are you supposed to get this material?
@steel wedge Totally, ironworks is great through level 55 content
57 at a stretch
especially if you augment it

@onyx kiln drops from chests in the Lost Canals of Uznair, the map dungeon from level 70 Timeworn Gaganaskin Maps
can you solo that as a DPS?
okay
Usually done in map parties--groups of friends or in the party finder--where each player brings a few maps and you all take turns going to yours
With either free-for-all loot etiquette, or map owner need/rest greed etiquette.
So now I've got a help request
My partner is having constant 90K errors immediately upon logging into the game (main menu/character select work fine). Had this problem about a month ago but was easily solved by just updating wireless adapter drivers. Now it's happening again, drivers are up-to-date and everything, no idea what's going on.
This is on the same wireless network on which I play constantly with no issues. Only partner's FFXIV seems to be affected. Firewall is off. Game works on wired connection but that's not that feasible for us to play.
@jade quartz ok technically I’m 55 now but I’m doing the lvl 50 content atm so I should be good for awhile at least
Anyone got any insight?
No idea unfortunately
any video guide to fast switch targeting using PS4 controller? I need to learn for healer role
I don't get this. There should be an aether current right in front of my nose, and I don't see it. Why?
there's an underground area
sigh
My poetics are maxed, best way to spend them? I assume just the most current level gear but idk
How to be astronomer : talk to like 3 people / How to be a white mage : waste 3 hours of farming doing boring useless quests
they put 0 braincells into that
is every other job like that ? when you want to progress ?
Naw, drk in particular has a engaging story
i started with archer there was like no story there to what i recall, Bard had a good story and short. Dancer later on was ok nothing amazing kills some negative demons and all
fastest role to queue in raids?
with Conqurer however i have to follow that little shit around the entire black shroud as a medic and try to kill things with my 1 spell
trying to finish the ivalice questline
healer, tank are fast
for Alliance Raids i'd actually recommend solo-dps queue
or healer
tanks tend to have a long time in queue for Alliance
Wasn't 8.3 meant to be bringing new game+ for job quests and such?

Besides positionals, does the boss's position relative to me matter? Like do I do more damage if I pew-pew at his behind vs his face?
(as any roke tbh, I play casters, melees and aimers alike)
besides positionals, no
except in a couple of cases
and obvious cases where the boss cleaves and you shouldn't be in front
couple of cases?
one or two bosses have varying mechanics where they need to be damaged from x direction
but i can count those on one hand
Ah
Does Regen from Medica 2 stack with reg Regen?
yes
it's a bit clunky and i can't think of much use for it besides using other tools, but it should do
Talking to me?
yeah, but it doesn't matter
i bought fantasia but i cant find it anywhere
does it get stored somewhere im unaware of?
What's the difference between stun and interject tank abilities?
nvm i got it
One is stun and other interrupt. Some might be immune to stun what in process interrupts any cast there was happening. While interject can interrupt some casts that’s casting bar style indicates whether can be interrupted or not
Am I able to buy 80s amour with tomestones without bein 80 already? (78)
no
@umbral fulcrum thanks for the explanation I have a better understanding of how it works now.
Cheers happy to help
Iirc you cant even get phantasmagoria or goetia til 80
^
Meh.. then I need to buy sth else with them, bein at cap :x
you don't use poetics at 80
Righto
Try this if you are poetics capped
ahh, thanks xD
You can potentially make a lot more money selling the level 70 crafting mats
But YMMV depending on your market board prices
Can Chemistry only be gotten from routine missions or can they pop up from command missions?
hey i have like 6 days left on my subscription do i renew it now
you can renew it on mogstation once it lapses
wait for the last day
i could never figure out how to just renew for a set period, it always put me in recurring
if that matters to you, once you renew, stop the subscription (NOT SERVICE), unregister your payment info, and that should stop the recurring
Never worth it to que for main scenario roulette without bonus
Main scenario gives horrible xp by itself
Any level 50/60/70 dungeon gives pretty bad xp actually
If you're a dps it might be faster to do palace of the dead if you can queue floor 51-60
yeah the exp in main story even dungeons makes 0 sense lvl 60 was giving me 3.2k per mob and lvl 70 1.7k per mob
My guess is it's something to do with how those dungeons didn't originally grant exp.
or the game wants you to farm exp somewhere else and leave the story content for new players
Nah it's probably the originally not granting xp thing
Most lv 50 etc dungeons are side content anyway
they were the level cap dungeons so there was no need to give exp
Also it helps you not to be absolutely disgustingly over leveled because my God you would be if that gave appropriate xp
what dungeon drops gwibers
What materia do I need on my gunbreaker tank at 80 what are the stats I want
Yes, and ruby Weapon as well
DH + Determination + crit

i500 2.45 - Stuffed Highland Cabbage

hope this helps
Thank you 🙂
how do you get the most yield when gathering... some logs for example?
just leaf turn III and that's it?
or is there more I can do
whats the best way to level dps at like level 50+
isn't pick clean only one gather at a time?
whaaa
^ daiya
Pick clean is very good
so i should probably save my GP for a node with an extra gathering attempt bonus
Keep enough gp so you can use it when you get one
And cordials
Naturally
Rest spend
extra gather attempts are better with the other yield skill because you can use brute force to get HQ
once you hit level 80 on crafters, should I try to craft level 80 crafting gear, or should I try to get white scrips for the gear?
White scrip gear is decent but not quite as good as fully melded crafted gear. However since most are guessing we'll be getting new crafted doh/dol sets with the next patch, melding now might be a bad idea. In other words, scrip gear should be fine.
Tldr settle for scrip gear and farm up for materia/money to go ham gearing crafters next patch
The new crafted crafter gear should be BiS until the end of the expansion
thanks!
Maybe swapping out tools for relics if they get good
Do note that fully melded facet is sort of unnecessary atm. Even the master 8 books don't really require such high stats atm. Future recipes might but as it stands, full meld melts just about anything. White scrip gear is suitable for now. Not complete overkill.

you could try a model viewer i guess
Best way really is make a alt and get people to link stuff for you/find on market board, or a model viewer
elezen and hyur are pretty similar
if the pieces are on the mb you can
Use the save outfit button
^
To try on multiple pieces
how can i get this?
@fresh oasis In mor dhona
when you get to idyllshire
Idyllshire is about lvl58 in msq
probably a good idea just to not do that
that kind of question isn't allowed in this discord, period
as buying gold with real money is RMT which is against ToS
what does being a rank 1 tank mean? Is this a FF logs thing or built into the game?
Rank 1 mens absolute best logged in that one trial or tier
ty
And its fflogs
How do I get nigh unyielding for Aetheric density chart?
where do I get gathering gear at lvl 50?
normal capitals should have level 50 gathering gear
if not you can get it from foundation
how do i farm venture tokens?
Yeah just level to 51 and get the first Heavensward gear Krum
It's way easier
Best way is spending grand company seals on them @lilac mulch
Since seals you can get really easily, especially once you unlock expert delivery

What patch is the ruby weapon
How do I get nigh unyielding for Aetheric density chart?
5.2 Crow
Should I just do story in the beginning?
it also unlocks all the content
well not all blue quest unlocks some of them, but the majority
Story unlocks 99% of stuff
Story is mandatory to do
No reason why you would ever not do it
Hi, sort-of-returning player looking for some advice on a new class to start over with, and maybe find a nice group to chat with as I level.
Alternative leveling is more for other jobs later
Play whatever class you want Swaine
@thick bolt nigh unyielding is when you finish the grind
Is BLM a relatively fun and stress free leveling experience?
It's rotation changes a lot while you level but aside from that I wouldn't call it stressful, mind you I wouldn't call any job that
what grind?
I wish there was a character that looked like Squall or Freya ;-;
the grind for density?
so when I max out on density I get more density?
Hello. Returning player. I got into my account (PS4) and see I have standard and heavens word. Which package would I need to get up to current content? Just shadowbringers (40usd) or full package (60usd)?
In addition, how can I get everything updated before I get a subscription without login in, per se?
Any help is appreciated. Feel free to message me. Thank you!
that doesn't make sense.
no
"nigh unyielding" is the end
grind
so when I get 2k\
the grind is getting 2000 density
at 2000 your weapon will be "nigh unyielding"
Shadowbringers only @oak jolt
You can't really get everything updated before logging in as I understand your question
so what's the point of nigh unyielding
You spam instances to get light
to show you're done
if It finishes it anywaay?
@oak jolt Purchasing Shadowbringers will get you caught up, yeah. The most recent expansion always comes with all others.
it's a status Shy
When you see that its Nigh unyielding, its saying you're done
^
And can go turn it in
ok?
@wintry chasm @gloomy ice so I can level through stormblood content without having "purchased" it?
you dont GET 2000 points
Youre not getting
you will HAVE 2000 points
?
2k points
it's saying the status of your weapon
@oak jolt Stormblood is included with Shadowbringers. Buying ShB gives you all SB content.
No you can't do that @oak jolt
Thats the END and it shows up when you get 2k points
Thats the end
You dont get anything
where can i find people to do raids etc.?
You see the message when your light is at 2k
That chart is saying "you will see this message when you're at 2k"
anyway
@fresh oasis for normal raids use party finder, for savage statics recruitment channel
I get it, it's dumb but I get it.
no the chart saays I get 2k I don't see stalwart when I reach 96 points
@gloomy ice @wintry chasm I meant with buying ShB. Sweet thank you. And that will prob give me 30 days free so I can log in in update then. Much appreciated.
It won't give you 30 days
dlc doesn't give days
Only the base game does that
Unfortunately, expansions do not come with the free 30 days. Only new accounts get that on buying starter or complete editions.
if I put a weapon I'm planning on using later for ultimate into the glamour dresser, will I be able to take it out later and use it normally?
Well, true. I just mean on buying either of those.
yes
nice ty
Are any quests missable?
no
Okay cool thanks :)
Are there any classes that aren't really "in-demand" at end-game? Or are sorta lack-luster?
no
they're all in demand however
just based on population there are a lot more DPS than healers and tanks iirc
in 8 man content you need 4 dps, 2 healers, 2 tanks
so my friend and I already have shadowbringers, can we both send each other the friend recruit code so we can get the 2 seated flying chocobo?
Aw wish i new about that
@frozen karma did you buy game time
I'm having second thoughts, I got a thauma a 16 and got arcanist to 7, thinking whether I should reach Black Mage first
no just the expansion
or keep going with a healer
@frozen karma then yes I believe
but the chocobo costs 8 gold feathers
which means you need to recruit 2 people
The original draught chocobo is from recruiting someone and them subbing for 90 days
any opinions?
arcanist can be a healer and dps
and more importantly, to double check you haven't subbed at all correct?
@remote lintel i thought you couldn't really flex roles in this game?
wym
well, arcanist itself cannot be a healer
I think I will go Scholar with Arcanist
Arcanist is the only class that has two jobs tied t it
it becomes
when arcanist unlocks its job, it unlocks two jobs
summoner, which is dps, and scholar, which is healer
Ooooh
I mean play whichever one you like more
it's the sole exception to jobs just being a standard extension of the class
whichever one you like
it says on the wiki there's a different 2 seated chocobo that if you recruit one friend for 90 days subscription
technically scholar also has a pet
eternal bonding chocobo probably?
no there is 2 from recruit a friend
If you dont like summons then dont do arcanist
^
Any other ways to get 2 seated mounts? I didn't notice any i could buy in the mog station
the whale and the fat moogle are 2 seaters
scholar is especially fun cause you can press a cooldown and it have done absolutely nothing cause you left Seraph in the wrong place
The draught chocobo which is from recruiting someone who subs for 90 days, and the amber draught chocobo which is from gold feathers
What's the rotation like for Summoner as you level?
!faq smncycle
Basically this
fun fun lol
Thats for the 2min cycle not 110s
how do i find faster raids? i am now already searching for 20 minutes and noone is here 😦
duty finder
well you're doing it wrong
its a quest to search in duty finder i guess
Dont que for binding coils
You'll never get it to pop
Cause iys savage level content
Which is done via party finder, unsynced when possible
how do i opne the party finder?
^
party > party finder
oh... ty xD
it can be useful to bind it to a unused key if you're on keyboard
another question, how strict is the control of Scholar summons?
wym strict
