its yellow crafter scrips now

i meant, yellow sorry lol

but yes, if you don't need anything get the books
I'd recommend getting the relic weapon upgrade prior to getting books though
if you're doing the relic weapon BiS for crafters
since 5.3 is around the corner, and if you aren't crafting anything that needs the old master books its kinda useless

it plays the garuda theme song while you ride it iirc

Most extreme difficulty trials will drop a mount. Garuda is a wind pony, Ifrit is a fire pony, etc

@strong sphinx that depends how soon do you want to level your crafters / gatherers?

Where do you get the heart kiss emote with the pink smoke and what is it called
tulip plover
Othee than msq and daily roulette whats a faster way to get to lvl 50
gloomy mortar
You have to pay for it?
gloomy ice
Once the daily bonuses are used, the fastest way would be to run the highest level dungeon available to you (excluding level 50, 60, and 70 dungeons). This might not always be time efficient for DPS. In which case floors 51-60 in Palace of the Dead might be better, albeit kind of mind numbing.
median locust
It's an old event emote, so yes
You also have /blowkiss which is the same thing but without the heart
you have it by default

you have two options bite the bullet now and get to floor 50 of potd so you dont have to do it later
or just spam dungeons
gloomy ice
Pretty much, yeah. Darkhold and then Aurum Vale once you’re at level for those as well

(as DPS)
if you're tank / healer just dungeon spam
but do MSQ over doing dungeons
since you'll be gated by MSQ anyways
everything in this game is content locked behind msq

Once i get to hw i plan on taking a break and lvling other classes anyways

@grim adder in general for crafting, the only way you can really craft multiple things at once is if you're crafting multiple of the same item--then you can use quick synthesis for that. Though that leaves HQ more to RNG as opposed to being able to control that more if you craft manually. If you're looking to like, queue up separate items to craft, that's not a thing you can do
raw solstice
well then, quick synth is probably what you're looking for~ it's especially nice if it's something like, an intermediary craft for something else that you're looking to craft quite a number of, since that sub-craft being HQ isn't as big a deal even if you might want the final product to be HQ

I'm looking to get into treasure hunting, can someone point me to a beginner's guide or something?
A lot of the ones on YouTube seem outdated AFAIK

You mean you can’t do a treasure map quest alone?
open coral
It’s shared within your party
grizzled mist
There are maps that can be done solo, but the ones with parties give more rewards and such
open coral
But only the map holder can open the chests
grizzled mist
Ah
So how does that work, do the other party members not get any chest rewards, or...?
raven sage
There are solo treasure maps but they don't typically have anything worth much
gloomy mortar
Not worth much as in what for example
open coral
Chest contents are placed into need/greed windows
And all party members can then roll on them
raven sage
Like there is a solo 80 map but you won't get the current most expensive crafting items from them
faint flare
The random materials are randomly given out, rare mats are rolled on and everyone gets gil
open coral
And tomestones
grizzled mist
Ah
So if everyone can still roll and such, what makes opening the chests so special?
faint flare
The rolled mats are rare
And the portals are a chance to get
So its chance Upton chance
Upon chance to continue on
Aka rng as fuck

now that I finally got my retainer to lvl 80, what ilvl should I have him at, and what should I send him out on?
faint flare
!faq retainerbp
zinc orbitBOT
open coral
Typically the way map groups operate is everyone will bring 1-3 maps of their own, and will go through all of them with the map holders getting priority on the rare mats and items that go up for need/greed
faint flare
Well either Map owner need or Free for all
Depending on whatever the leader declares
faint flare
Maps haven't changed much
grizzled mist
One last thing:
Do you need a full party for the Lvl. 80 "Full party recommended" ones? Or is it a bit more lenient than I think?
gloomy mortar
What is a breakpoint? On one miner retainer mission, she brought me back a unique blue marauder axe.
forest laurel
ok, now what should I be sending them out on? field exploration? quick exploration?
open coral
4 people is advisable
grizzled mist
Ah, got it
little swift
the breakpoint is basically the minimum statline for your retainer to have the full item pool to draw from for quick ventures as well as open up all available hunting/gathering ventures
grizzled mist
Thanks for your time! \o
open coral
Quick exploration while you’re online, then the 18 hour one when you’re ready to log off
forest laurel
alright
gloomy mortar
So retainers want gathering, not perception?
little swift
they only require gathering, yes
forest laurel
I swear perception helps too? I could be wrong
bc I remember sending mine out to mine mythrite for someone in my FC and she came back with 20 HQ mythrite
forest laurel
right
grim adder
Is there a way to store dyes?
little swift
unfortunately because we can't see rates on HQ returns its hard to tell whether perception increases number of HQ items
open coral
You can store dye pots the same as any other item
I usually keep ones that I like in a retainer’s inventory until I want to use them
warped nest
Anything that goes into your inventory can go into retainer inventory, aside from key items
gloomy mortar
What’s the deal with metallic dyes? Do they unlock or are they rewards? They sell for a lot on the mb
open coral
They look cool
warped nest
They are rare find from Retainer ventures
little swift
those are obtained through quick retainer ventures and are not a common find
so they can sell for more as a result
warped nest
Most, if not all, metallic or special dyes has two version. One comes from paying for them with real money in mogstation (you can buy 1 or 10), the General-purpose version comes from Retainer venture
dusky echo
Yeah there's nothing hard confirmed, but The Balance's super nerds heavily suggest perception does nothing
little swift
@forest laurel it seems there may be some correlation between perception and number of HQ items received on gathering/hunting ventures but there is no concrete data on it.
forest laurel
interesting
little swift
either way, the best method of capping out your gathering stat is to increase ilvl which will inevitably increase your perception
warped nest
There's probably no reason the meld more perception
But you are free to do so on the open slots
gloomy mortar
Early on, I would extract materia from 100% spirit bonded items frequently. Now, never. For example, the lvl 72 gun I’ve used continually all the way From 72-80 is still at 1%. Is this how it is?
little swift
its harder to spiritbond things of a higher level because you're frequently not doing content on level with that piece of gear
obsidian patio
The rate at which items spiritbond is based on the enemies you fight
grim adder
@brittle umbra Whisperfine Woolen Shorts have thigh high socks but it also comes with a skirt
obsidian patio
@spare plinth 🤷♂️
Probably because the first outfit’s horn is based on Ifrit? I can’t remember if the Evoker set came from another FF game
leaden ginkgo
How long does it take to complete ARR?
obsidian patio
A week or two depending on how much you can play, if you’re a tank/healer, and if you watch cutscenes/read dialogue.
faint flare
And how distracted you get
leaden ginkgo
What level does ARR approximately take you to?
faint flare
50+
More if you do alot of daily roulettes and side stuff
And if you have road to 70
fast halo
yeah it def depends on how you're playing... my fc kept inviting me to do roulettes so I was lvl 70 on my main class by the time I got to HW 😂
oblique delta
Are my UI and character settings automatically backup up online by the game ?

oh but if I do that it will be stored online not in some local file right ?

tepid stag
for e6s what does in and out mean in pf as well as t/h north dps south, I've watched the guides just need to know what those mechanics those correspond too
rich bay
@tepid stag
Which mechanics are you exactly referring to?
tepid stag
so when healers get it they move north and share with tanks and if dps get it they share it south of boss ya?
rich bay
Yes
tepid stag
but what about in and out
raw solstice
mmm only thing that comes to mind for me would be dps movement during conflag, since that's what my static does for it
rich bay
tepid stag
what about uptime/regular soccer?
faint flare
Uptime js bait eruptions centre then always go north
raw solstice
strike spark, uptime is you stack behind boss and then move north after you drop the puddles, eating an explosion if there's one there
barren flax
is it worth me mix and matching ilvl 480-490 gear to mainly get crit hit + direct hit for a blm?
raw solstice
no, always take ilvl for BLM
barren flax
always?
raw solstice
always always
barren flax
i thought determination kinda sucks vs the other 2 stats?
faint flare
The int
raw solstice
they're all good
fresh lodge
Main stat and weapon damage make up for lost in substats 99.9% of time

and with more ilvl you get more main stat
while det is perhaps slightly "weaker" it's still a good stat

Hello guys, sorry to annoy you with this but : I just came back after 2 years, trying to change worlds to join my new friends. But it says that my companion (chocobo) is sotred or smth and i have to talk to the Housing enthousiast to retreive it.
Ive been to the goblet, talked to the enthousiast but also the resident caretaker. None of these 2 have anything for me.
I've been looking on forums and everything, but they all say "go to the enthousiast" and he's just acting like there's nothing for me there
remote lintel
you need to get it from the chocobo stable
storm sequoia
Is that in the goblet?
remote lintel
did you have a house?
storm sequoia
Well I used to but I got kicked from the FC like 2 years ago after quitting I beleive
maybe 1y idk
obsidian patio
What about an apartment?
storm sequoia
I tried the chocobo stable at the bottom of the appartment I can't click it, neither I'm sure to be in the good subdivision I mean goblet instance
obsidian patio
You have to be in the right ward for your apartment
Try teleporting directly to your apartment using the teleport menu
storm sequoia
thing is I don't have anything on that menu I'm guessing my housing got erased long ago maybe?
remote lintel
apartments don't get erased
storm sequoia
but did they transfer me to appartment? didnt had one, but I'll try every ward at this point im going crazy already anyways
obsidian patio
If you had one it would be in the teleport menu
remote lintel
so you didn't have one
storm sequoia
Nope I didn't I had a beautiful house with a goddamn cursed chocobo inside XD
only option I have in housing is "move to the front gate" wich tells me that I need to be on the estate grounds. Does this mean it'd work if I find the good ward?
obsidian patio
Then you don’t have any housing.
Because other options would be there if you had a House
storm sequoia
I see that's out of the question then, I'm stuck in this void forever like I just want to pay to transfer my characther xD
remote lintel
does Eden savage drop coffers or actual specific gear pieces
obsidian patio
@storm sequoia Try talking to the Housing enthusiast again

When making collectable items for the splendour guys, can you only make 1 of each item at a time or can you hold any number of say rainbow cloth?
remote lintel
@leaden ginkgo whenever you want and whatever you want
obsidian patio
You can turn in as many as you want
faint flare
You can make as many as you can hold
onyx kiln
Okay, thought i saw a text box say that i could only have 1 at a time
faint flare
Cause each collectible is its own item
storm sequoia
@obsidian patio talked to like 10 of them they all act like this ^^
faint flare
So you can hold as many items as you have inventory slots
onyx kiln
Oh so it meant it won't stack
faint flare
Yes
onyx kiln
That's good to know
obsidian patio
And what about the resident caretaker when you pick “estate possessions retrieval”?
grim adder
Is technical step just like divination?
storm sequoia
He just reads me a line like "hey we give you back your stuff and money but only for a limited time" and stops talking
faint flare
Techincal step is used on cooldown
twilit arch
You said you're coming back after 2 yrs right?
grim adder
What does that mean o-o
faint flare
You use it whenever its up
remote lintel
use it every time its ready
storm sequoia
and then another text box with the message "however understand this is for a limited amount of time" @obsidian patio
grim adder
ooo ok
leaden ginkgo
At what point do you start getting better looking 'class based' armour and weapons?
storm sequoia
then why you didnt killed my chocobo? u.u make chicken wings with it please slaughter it
remote lintel
I mean you get class specific armor at like lvl 50
obsidian patio
What’s the message that plays when you try to summon your chocobo?
storm sequoia
@obsidian patio You're the best. Now I can summon it, somehow it must have given it back to me without even notifying me. I tried before and it said "Your chocobo is stabled somehwere blablabla"
oblique bane
is there a /command to hide names/titles for people?

I'm in the Gridania airship landing, however I can't exit the area that you spawn in. Im probably missing something really obvious, but how do I exit into Gridania?
raven sage
The best gear in the game isn't purchased with gil but you can use gil to get decent temporary gear
tulip plover
So what do you really need a lot of gill for
raven sage
Nothing really unless you want to invest in housing
tulip plover
Im pretty sure theres things that make you way stronger that cost a lot
raven sage
Those things will be tomestone gear and savage raid gear
tulip plover
And you can buy them?
raven sage
Not with gil
deft quiver
is there a way to see what music is currently playing? some of them are absolute bangers
raven sage
Tomestones are a currency on their own
tulip plover
Thens whats the point of gil
raven sage
If you don't craft things yourself you can buy something off the market board
You can pay other people for crafting services as well
But gil isn't really a big deal outside of needing it to teleport
And I suppose repairing your gear as well
tulip plover
Boooooo
frank wigeon
may i know wher to find static groups in jp data centre?

no you do not get the completion of the quests GIL unless its a mount, minion

You forfeit the free fantasia

you also get the ability to skip the quests to fly so you dont need to get it

they're considerably cheaper and much more readily available

Oh i didnt even know about appartments. I did a quick search and they are like 500,000? Time to start saving
vagrant copper
Note that the cost of an apartment is just the first step to coloring a chocobo. 😦
remote lintel
you have to buy the ingredients to change your chocobos color
which isn't super expensive
normally
upper mortar
I got all the materials then learned that wasnt it lol
Cant wait for that pink chocobo
remote lintel
it's not guaranteed
upper mortar
Even when u use a color calculator theres still rng?

the calculator is a best guestimate

but when you're trying to carry a group of pugs through e4 dutyfinder? maybe
is the only way to get mana back lucid dreaming?

Or pots, but they're kinda iffy

so how do you recover from dying and getting rezzed then
or are you just dead weight the rest of the fight

there goes the 5 mile long faq
obsidian patio
Don’t worry it will get shorter with 5.3 making the mount quest mandatory
And not missable
raw solstice
for the different GCs it's mainly just the location for the headquarters, as well as different color scheme for gear (and different glamour)
obsidian patio
You grab people’s attention and use CC/being annoying to distract healers?
Been a good while since I’ve done PVP as a tank specifically
jade quartz
You use CC and basically run into the fray and make people waste their time attacking you

So it won’t matter what I choose.

you can switch later if you want
quaint forge
But wait, why enlisted none?
jade quartz
!faq grandcompany

because some people haven't played?

so new players or bots

Is the majority of items earned through MSQ? What is gill used for if thats true
robust crow
biggest gil sink in the game is housing

aside from that, glamours, mounts, melding materia
remote lintel
and depends what you mean by majority of items
a bunch of stuff is from side content
robust crow
buying materials for crafting if you're too lazy to gather them yourself
leaden ginkgo
Armour? Do I need to worry about buying armour?
robust crow
while you're leveling, poetics can be spent on level 50/60/70 gear and will last you until like halfway through that expansion
story will reward all the gear you need otherwise
leaden ginkgo
Sounds like theres a big endgame at 80? Doesn't just end at the lvl cap?
robust crow
can you name me one mmorpg that ends at level cap
leaden ginkgo
What are poetics?
robust crow
poetics are a currency you start earning after your level 50 MSQ
leaden ginkgo
This is my first mmorpg @robust crow ! Im very new to all this 🤣
remote lintel
well this game is designed for people who have never played mmos
robust crow
it has a significantly higher focus on story than most
leaden ginkgo
I can see that already lol
robust crow
so 1-80 is what a lot of people consider "the game"
you can treat 1-80 as its own standalone final fantasy game, pretty much
and at 80 you have the option to try out endgame raiding
remote lintel
there's a bunch of other side content

among tons of other stuff
