upbeat storm
#

only retainers

gloomy ice
#

@tulip plover You’ll have to drop some things off with your retainers or stuff it in your chocobo saddlebags

tulip plover
#

How do i get a retainer

gloomy ice
#

Go to the marketplace in any of the three cities and talk to the Retainer Vocate to hire a retainer. Their inventory space is much larger than your own and always worth having.

grim adder
#

Should I be using the Lilies as a main heal or still using cure?

twilit arch
#

your lily heals should be priority over cure

#

they're instant, no mp cost spells

grim adder
#

ooo ok

#

For the longest time I also thought Lilies would be oGCD ;-; until I got them

indigo orbit
#

Priority would be like

#

Tetragrammaton > Afflatus Solace > Cure 2 for single targets

#

Since tetra IS ogcd

grim adder
#

I'm still at level 54 but does WHM get anymore oGCD's

twilit arch
#

terta for healing, assize has healing but generally want to use on cd for dmg/mp, thin air for no mp cost for a time, divine benison for shield, plenary indulgence for aoe healing burst

tulip plover
#

Should i buy a mount or riding map with irregular tombstone

grim adder
#

tyty!

gloomy ice
#

Up to you really. The mounts aren’t exactly difficult to get but removing the grind is always nice, slight as the grind maybe. Same can be said of the riding maps however. But their worth is debatable since we’ll have flight in ARR zones next patch.

tulip plover
#

Bought direwolf cuz it looked cool

#

The horse mounts suck

#

How long is the moogle event going on?

gloomy ice
#

Until the next patch releases next month

tulip plover
#

Ok i have time to farm them

sand sable
#

can you do the great hunt ex unsync and still get the loot?

marble drift
#

yeh

little swift
#

yes

mental garnet
#

is there a difference in damage dealt to a single target between the caster LB and the physical ranged LB?

gloomy ice
#

I believe the damage is the same? I think?

mental garnet
#

thanks

marble drift
#

yeah its just a change in shape

twilit arch
#

no the dmg is not the same

#

caster lb is slightly higher potency than the phys ranged

mental garnet
#

ah

#

cool

tulip plover
#

Whats a good way to farm the irregulars just do raids?

#

So many mounts :)

gloomy ice
#

MS roulette gives 7-10 but takes the longest per run. AV can be fast if your team is good or if you go as an all BLU party. Hidden Gorge PvP is... it’s a strange mode but not bad for moogle tomes.

marble drift
#

none of the mounts offered by the tomestones are unique to the event

#

they're all farmable from trials or beast tribes

tulip plover
#

I want that lanner and kamuy whistle >.>

#

They look fukin SIIIIICCCKK

marble drift
#

yeah the lanners are from extreme heavensward trials

#

and the kamuy are from extreme stormblood trials

tulip plover
#

See the thing is i dont wanna wait that long to flex on the unworthy

marble drift
#

you can farm em relatively easily with some buddies at 80 unsynced

#

its not that big of a flex m9

tulip plover
#

Well in my mind im flexing 😔

#

Well at least i have my rabbies dog mount

pastel sparrow
#

farm aurum Vale it's faster than a raid imho

molten spruce
#

whenever i try to use foul smelling bait it says invalid target

pastel sparrow
#

5 tomes per

molten spruce
#

how do i use it?

leaden ginkgo
#

How do I activate Titles?

gloomy ice
#

Go to the quest marker on your mini map. There should be a shiny patch of ground. That’s your objective. Use the bait there.

#

Titles are in your Character window in the Profile tab.

leaden ginkgo
#

ty

molten spruce
#

nvm it was glitched

#

wouldnt let me target it with X button

#

they spawned and killed me

#

bc i couldnt target them

gloomy ice
#

Oh targeting with the X button is relative to where your character is facing.

molten spruce
#

and how should i target

gloomy ice
#

And a little tip for targeting enemies. While you’re holding L2 or R2 for your skills, you can hit L1 or R1 to cycle targets.

#

It feels funny at first but it’s much faster than fumbling with X or the dpad.

pastel sparrow
#

left/right arrows for targeting, pressing x will lock onto the target, if you don't press x then you will auto switch back to your last target. also you can enable target filtering in settings. I made L1+X to enable enemy-only targeting, so that I don't have to cycle through party members, then I press L1+circle to go back to All targeting if I need to (I.e. when I'm not in a dungeon and want to target people for emotes etc)..its all up to how you set it up though

#

and what eton said also

#

:P

#

the difference between quick targeting and lock-on targeting is really nice on controller. i.e. when you're playing healer and you're locked onto the boss, you can quick target your tank to heal and keep attacking the boss without having to retarget

warped nest
#

Quick target is called a soft target in game

#

There are some settings on soft targeting

#

Adjust them to fit your need

tulip plover
#

Are the gathering and crafting job quests worth doing

remote lintel
#

for money yes

tulip plover
#

But other than that if you wanna lvl just do leves?

remote lintel
#

oh the quests

gloomy ice
#

Some of the class quests give pretty good exp, especially from the SB ones.

remote lintel
#

I mean yes

tulip plover
#

Oh ok

remote lintel
#

job quests give skills

tulip plover
#

Fuck even here

#

Oh well i guess i cant avoid it

gloomy ice
#

SB quests are, yeah, all but required as one of the best crafting skills is locked behind a quest.

tulip plover
#

Ah ok, i better be able to make some cool ass stuff with all of this

#

.>

thorny spruce
#

hello

#

i have question

mental garnet
#

err does a shiva-themed craftable whm weapon exist?

thorny spruce
#

how much if i change name AND appearnace would cost me CAD?

mental garnet
#

i couldn't find one on the wiki

remote lintel
#

23.04 CAD

thorny spruce
#

thats alright

twilit arch
#

no craftable weapon. shiva theme weapon is either from EX or the lvl60 eikonic weapon

thorny spruce
#

what should i buy for it?

mental garnet
#

gotcha

#

ty

warped nest
#

I do want to mention that Shiva has glowing weapons, it is acquired by trading Shiva drops and the Shiva weapon. You get those two from the ex.

#

Assuming that's what in your mind when you asked about crafted Shiva.

mental garnet
#

ah ha

#

great

#

yea, i was using craftable synonymously with glowy

#

didn't know there were untradeable ones

warped nest
#

things were not consistent back then ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

twilit arch
#

both Shiva and Levi are a break from the rest for their glowy verisons

gloomy ice
#

Shiva and Leviathan are the only two acquired like that, yeah.

#

The rest are crafted

remote lintel
#

zurvan

twilit arch
#

in that you exchange the item dropped from their instances with an item to get the glowy version

mental garnet
#

would it be shiva's diamond cane?

twilit arch
#

zurvan doesn't have a glowy verison

#

so your point is moot

remote lintel
#

oh i thought they meant normal

dusky echo
#

!iglam Book of Diamonds

#

that's an example

warped nest
#

What?

twilit arch
#

yes that's the glowy version for shiva ex weapon

warped nest
#

That's not

#

A Shiva weapon

mental garnet
#

ayyyyyyy i already have enough diamond dust

twilit arch
#

not really sure why you're bringing up the book of diamonds...

tulip plover
#

Ok so how do you pronounce astrologean

remote lintel
#

shiva ex weapons are codex and grimoire of ice

twilit arch
#

..

#

they asked about the whm weapon

remote lintel
#

it's still not a shiva weapon

mental garnet
#

i got it guys

#

found it on the wiki

#

thanks for all the knowledge

twilit arch
#

ast -ro -lo-ge-an

warped nest
#

Ass-troll-low-jian

mental garnet
#

the syllable i'm not sure about is whether the lo is law or loh

remote lintel
#

loh

twilit arch
#

loh

mental garnet
#

cool beans

remote lintel
#

comes from logos i believe

warped nest
#

I thought astrology is a real word

remote lintel
#

wat

twilit arch
#

danHmm it is

mental garnet
#

yeah i was about to say

#

am i going crazy

#

it definitely is a word

remote lintel
#

-logia is a greek suffix

warped nest
#

So I just get Astrologian out of astrology

thorny spruce
#

i cant find

#

the stuff to change the name

twilit arch
#

name change is under additional services on the mogstation

weak cradle
#

Quick question, I'm on PS4 , I have all the DLCS and such but would like to play on my PC, do I have to but the game again or can I just download it and login from there?

twilit arch
#

you would have to buy the game and expansions again

gloomy ice
#

Licenses don’t transfer. Have to buy it again.

weak cradle
#

Daaammnnnn, thanks.

lime geode
#

@twilit arch how many years to get all those jobs lvled?

twilit arch
#

doesn't really take years to level them all. Had most of them to 70 by the end of stormblood, when there wasn't much to do while waiting for next expac to release

#

got most of them to 80 within the first few months of shadowbringers release

#

but i also have a lot of time on my hands

lime geode
#

cool 🙂

#

Whats been your favourite to play?

twilit arch
#

for this expansion, mostly been playing smn, whm, ast and dnc

obsidian patio
#

I’ve been playing a mix of BLM/WHM/SCH/RDM/DNC/WAR/DRK for the most part

lime geode
#

I've been playing WHM - I'm liking it so far.

#

Though one of my party died and I was going to instacast revive him and I couldn't click on his name - like target not found or something.

twilit arch
#

depending on the fight, its possible to be knocked off the platform

#

thus not able to be raised

lime geode
#

Ah was titan

twilit arch
#

Ya, that'd be why

#

in later fights, they put the corpse back on the platform

lime geode
#

cool - so it's not a range issue

gloomy ice
#

In Titan’s case it is a range issue because the body lands far below the stage.

lime geode
#

Right, but in general I should haven't to be running around trying to find where they died to res them?

gloomy ice
#

Right

twilit arch
#

yea

lime geode
#

What do you do to try and make sure they don't die right away? Cause they have to accept feels a bit hard to time a heal.

whole wasp
#

they are invulnerable, while they are getting up and abit more.

little swift
#

in that case there wasn't really too much you could do to make sure they don't die, since they get yeeted off the stage

lime geode
#

Yeah we still won, so no biggie.

obsidian patio
#

People that get raised have a couple seconds of invulnerability as long as they don’t do any actions besides moving

little swift
#

when you get raised you get temporary invulnerability as long as you don't cast any skills besides moving

lime geode
#

Gotcha

obsidian patio
#

So if they get raised, attack the boss, and then die right away due to raids wide damage it’s their fault

whole wasp
#

they also cant accept heals for a couple moments freshly raised.

lime geode
#

Yeah but then probably not enough time for an 8s res

thorny spruce
#

omg im so high, i cant stop shopping in mogstation

lime geode
#

lol

thorny spruce
#

hahaha i bought mount and costume... gg 70$

tulip plover
#

What does the challenge log do

pastel sparrow
#

expands Ur squadron for your grand company

twilit arch
#

give you exp/gil/seals depending on what challenge logs you complete

pastel sparrow
#

don't skip the challenge log unlock it becomes semi useful later on :x

tulip plover
#

Lol i went this whole time without unlocking it XD

pastel sparrow
#

yea

tulip plover
#

Im like lvl 52

#

Gotta unlock it

pastel sparrow
#

you'll want to promote urself in your grand company now, unlock squadrons, and then as you complete challenges, you get a chance for a new recruit

tulip plover
#

What are squadrons

pastel sparrow
#

it's better to have that going for you even if you don't care about squadrons

#

in your grand company you can have a party of squadrons to send them on missions etc you pay them with seals. u also gotta do a squadron mission to get promoted to first Lt. in your gc

tulip plover
#

So they bring you back cool stuff?

gloomy ice
#

GC squadrons are exactly what they sound like. You get a small squad of NPCs to train up. They run mission and stuff while you do your own thing. Squads are how you can get promotions all the way up to Captain. And, yeah, a few emotes and personal buffs like +15% combat exp. and so on.

little swift
#

eventually you can do dungeons with them

#

some dungeons not all

tulip plover
#

Sounds cool now to get unusually heavily invested in yet another feature you guys inform me about

muted sun
#

FFXIV fan artists - do you ever leave ffxiv running while you're working on art at your desk? I was thinking about doing art while I was in queue

gloomy ice
#

I’m no artist but yeah that’s a good way to fill the time between queues.

tulip plover
#

I usually play clash of clans or look up ways to get better at this game

#

Or study whatever works for u

muted sun
#

That works too - I don't play many games, and I only play games on my desktop so I don't actually have mobile games going

#

Cool, I think I'm going to hook my wacom up and start doing art while in queue

tulip plover
#

Yea its just little time wasters

#

I also play smt dx2 on my phone to farm stuff

dense pier
#

Without using $$, what's the easiest/quickest multi-seater mount I can get?

muted sun
#

There is a refer a friend one if you refer friends

dense pier
#

That's so kind of you to think I have friends...!

tulip plover
#

You do have friends..... the other scions of the dawn

gloomy ice
#

The only other two-seater that doesn’t cost money requires a massive time investment. The mount looks nice but it takes months if not years to acquire.

muted sun
#

Yeah I am still shocked I actually got 1 person who wanted to use me as their referred person

twilit arch
#

you can put RAF code up on the recruit a friend subreddit

gloomy ice
#

Oh yeah there’s also a four seater but that requires clearing a level 80 savage raid.

twilit arch
#

outside of raf, the only other multi-seater mounts that aren't for real money are Astrope, which is from doing 2k mentor roulette and the Skyslipper, which is from Eden Gate: Sepulture (Savage)

muted sun
#

which is the 4 seater?

twilit arch
#

the skyslipper is 4 seater, yeah

muted sun
#

oh wow

gloomy ice
muted sun
#

Interesting

remote lintel
#

the speeder from star wars

dense pier
#

Oh yeah

#

I saw someone riding around in that

leaden ginkgo
#

So i had to reste my pc cus everything was cluttered and i wanted a fresh start so my final fantasy 14 is gone i go to store and it wants me to buy it again for 60$ and the mog station shows i have it eith a pass for 19 more days...

#

How do i get this game back?....

dense pier
#

Okay so

#

how much $$ would it cost me to get a multi-seater then?

muted sun
#

The game time cards give you about 60 days of gameplay, so you can redownload the game from the website/steam if you have already purchased it but you have to pay a monthly subscription to keep playing

twilit arch
#

mogstation multi-seaters are 30$

dense pier
#

holy-sh what

#

That's extortion

leaden ginkgo
#

Im trying to download from website but

muted sun
#

If someone has the game though, they could get their own mount and you can run around together on mounts 🙂

leaden ginkgo
#

It ... wont show

rare karma
#

So i hit lvl 80 and i heard i could get armor where do i go to get it?

remote lintel
#

tempest

#

did you do all your role quests and unlock the guy at the tempest?

rare karma
#

Role quests yes

#

Im on the msq shadowbringers if that answers that

frozen karma
#

what do minions do? are they just for fun?

muted sun
#

there is a Lords of Vermillion minion game at the Gold Saucer you can play with them

#

It's on the upper floor near the chocobo racing

remote lintel
#

go talk to the guy at the tempest @rare karma

gloomy ice
#

A few quests ago they had you talk to a blacksmith who lived in a small cave. Go talk to him and he’ll give the armor to you for free.

#

Should be SE of the Ondo Cups

rare karma
#

Ok thx

dense pier
#

What's the difference between Priority Missiosn and Flagged Missions?

little swift
#

Flagged missions are the missions needed to rank up your squadron

gloomy ice
#

Priority Missions are difficult missions for better rewards. Flagged Missions are specifically for promotions

dense pier
#

Priority vs Routine*

#

Sorry

little swift
#

Priority missions are missions that provide additional consumable rewards such as mgp gain +15%

gloomy ice
#

Oh. Routine missions are just that. Low risk. Rewards aren’t as good but they’re practically guaranteed to succeed with a good squad.

dense pier
#

and priority missions are more likely to fail if you don';t meet all the requirements but offer good rewards?

#

Also are priority missions one and done?

#

like routine missions

#

Cause I have to wait for the end of the week to re-do routine missions or something like that

leaden ginkgo
#

I’m already near the end of shadowbringers but so far i have never done any raids or savage content and wanted to ask where is the best place to start + which savage content is still alive and people queue up for that is from previous expansions ?

gloomy ice
#

Priority missions, iirc, can’t be fully blue. At least from my experience I could never get any more than 2/3 filled. Falls to chance for their success but the rewards are pretty good.

remote lintel
#

non shb savages are easier

gloomy ice
#

Also I think there was a limit to completing priority missions successfully.

#

Been a while since I’ve done squad stuff 😅

little swift
#

Non-shb can be easier in the sense that you can take them on using the undersized party feature to trivialize dps checks and the like. However that doesn't meant they are easy.

#

A good place to start could be to work through some of the extreme trials of this expansion

#

@leaden ginkgo you'll be able to get a taste of difficulty a step up from normal content this way.

Party finder is the way that most datacenters form pickup groups for these types of content

leaden ginkgo
#

@little swift what about alliances raids ?

remote lintel
#

alliance raids are casual content

leaden ginkgo
#

Kinda want to try one

remote lintel
#

you can but they're easy

leaden ginkgo
#

But i assume all stormblood raids are dead by now

remote lintel
#

nope

#

they're alive because of the moogle event

#

the sb raids give tomes

leaden ginkgo

Oh nice

How do i access edens gate?

jaunty jay
#

Completion of the level 80 quest chain starting with In the Middle of Nowhere by talking to Anxious Crystarium Guard in The Crystarium (X:9.7 Y:12.3). Players first must complete Main Scenario Quest Shadowbringers. The guard will send you to The Empty where you will begin the Eden's Gate quest line.

remote lintel
#

crystarium

dense pier
#

Will the game let me buy a masterbook that I've already learned?

#

or will it prevnet me from buying it

twilit arch
#

it will stop you from buying a book you already know

dense pier

kk

warm mortar
#

Is there a way to obtain Dreadwyrm gear outside of the actual Final Coil instances?

twilit arch
#

the replica crafted version

warm mortar
#

Well yeah but those are all iLvl50

#

And doesn't include the weapon in the case of Dreadwyrm

twilit arch
#

i mean the ilvl isn't all that important

#

since ironworks is easier to get

#

but the replica version are dyeable

warm mortar
#

Well I was mainly asking because this alt has SMN/SCH my mains

#

And as easy as Poetics are to get

#

Gearing up two roles simultaneously is kind of a pain

gloomy ice
#

They might be in the Quick Venture pool?????????? But I have can't confirm that. The pool just keeps growing.

twilit arch
#

They're not

gloomy ice
#

Ah then, yeah, no other way to get it than to run FCoB

warm mortar
#

I've never seen raid gear in the pool.

steel wedge
#

So quick random question... is the ceremony of eternal bonding something taken seriously as a actual wedding or just something cool for the exclusive items and teleport ring?

gloomy ice
#

Depends entirely on you. I know just as many people that take it seriously, real couples and such, as those who get them just for the items or as jokes.

steel wedge
#

Ah good to know... important to have that partner be on the same page I bet 😂 i’m guessing you can’t actually truly get married and still have to sign something at a courthouse or something to make it official irl

#

Or does the premium plan accommodate for that?

gloomy ice
#

Lol no it isn't that serious. It's just a nice side thing for people to do as they please.

It’s still two hours however lol where is the church out of curiosity is it its own instance/dungeon or is it able to be accessed in world?

gloomy ice

It's accessed in East Shroud. The inside is its own instance but the outside can be seen by everyone.

you can use it for 2 hours or 10 minutes

what is drowning wench?

Drowning Wench is the Adventurer's Guild in Limsa. It's on the Upper Decks, just north of the Aftcastle teleport.

#

Hello guys

#

Any idea how can i use military grade tomestones?

gloomy ice
#

Military-grade Tomestone is used for purchasing the level 70 Scaevan weapons. A really good weapon to have for entering ShB.

#

You need that tomestone and 10 Rowena tokens of Genesis to buy the weapon. Exchanged in Rhalgr's Reach.

fresh lodge
#

You exchange it alongside 10 Rowena tokens of Genesis to buy a weapon at the vendor to the right of the tomestone vendor in Rhalgr's Reach

#

I think the Paladin Sword is only 7 tokens though so double check if you're buying that

marble drift
#

you are correct the paladin sword is generally 7 tokens to everyone elses 10

#

because the sheild* costs 300

fresh lodge
#

Though I'm pretty sure they upgrade together, so if you want the ilvl 400 version you'll need both the Sword and Shield

proven nimbus
#

Ok do linkshells for hunts and treasure maps just not exist anymore cuz I still can't find one but I want to do that content and I don't know how on my own..

#

For EU I don't know. We are in a content lull however. That might be contributing.

wintry chasm
#

Tbh I've never heard of a linkshell for maps before just check party finder?

jolly sorrel
#

Huh, I encountered something weird. It looks like you can bypass the minimum ilvl requirement for a duty by entering it through roulette?

gloomy ice
#

Hmm which roulette and which dungeon?

jolly sorrel
#

I got into Susanoo's with like, ilvl 160... I think

#

I just did susanoos as a mnk and I remembered last time I did it I was surprised because I was a blm with hardly any gear, leveled in HoH

#

And I just had to buy gear on my monk to enter it 'normally' which made me go like 'waaait?'

gloomy ice
#

I don't think story trials have a min ilvl?

#

Dungeons certainly do but I don't recall if they added those to the trials

jolly sorrel
#

Oh, you are right! I had to get gear for the dungeons that came around it

#

No, mystery solved then. Thanks

desert ravine
#

Are raids just basically lots of trials?

gloomy ice
#

8-person raids, yes. 24-person raids are a little closer to what you'd find in other games.

tidal yarrow
#

how long the rest bonus last for?

obsidian patio
#

1.5 levels if fully charged, which takes about 4 days or so in a sanctuary

tidal yarrow
#

like you to stay at limsa for 4 days straight?

#

have to*

obsidian patio
#

any place that shows counts as a Sanctuary to where there's a crescent moon by the EXP bar.

#

and it doesn't need to be consecutive, you slow build it up over time

ohh okay!

#

whats the 0/16 next to leve quest? is that a counter for something

gloomy ice
#

You can hold only 16 leves at a time

#

If you want to take more than that, you need to complete or abandon those you already have in your journal

@gloomy ice

Some trials do have a minimum iLvL, there is also a trial that has a hard iLvL sync.

Most yes, mid-story trials don't have them.

frozen karma
#

just arrived at Idyllshire, what's the better timestone armour? shire, or hellfire? I'm assuming shire right?

shrewd owl
#

shire ye

jolly sorrel
#

Does Twin Snakes apply to Elixir Field?

frozen karma
#

what should I get first, full suit of armour, or full set of accessories and some armour?

obsidian patio
#

@jolly sorrel yes

jolly sorrel
#

Thanks

obsidian patio
#

replace whatever is your weakest pieces of gear are first.

frozen karma
#

oh all my accessories are way lower than my armour anyway so yeah them

obsidian patio
#

but I recommend getting the weapon first.

frozen karma
#

also is there a glamour dresser in this city? I couldn't find an inn room

obsidian patio
#

nope

frozen karma
#

you can't wear two of the same ring, right? So I shouldn't buy two of the same one?

gritty oracle
#

Only if it's unique

frozen karma
#

yeah shire ones are unique untradeable so I guess I need two different ones?

gritty oracle
#

But I'm assuming you're talking about Shire rings. Buy one, augment it, buy a second umaugmented one. Profit.

gloomy ice
#

You can upgrade one and buy another

#

Darkest Gobcoat is for upgrading accessories. Take them to Seika, slightly NW of the central building, to upgrade Shire gear.

frozen karma
#

if I apply a glamour plate, how can I remove it without using a glamour dispel thing?

gloomy ice
#

Can't without the regular dispeller.

gritty oracle
#

I recommend buying like 5-10 dispellers and terebinths and sticking them in your choco saddlebag in case you get a cute at-level piece of equipment

vernal bramble
#

is there a way to buy this one by one? or do i really need to buy the whole bulk?

gritty oracle
#

And if you plan on getting into glam seriously, start hoarding dyes. All the dyes you get from dungeons or quests. I have my choco saddlebag like 90% full with dyes, and that's after throwing out all craftable ones and replacing them with pigments

#

No there isn't. What dye is it?

gloomy ice
#

From MB? No, can't break stacks if it's on MB. All or nothing, sadly.

gritty oracle
#

Also you might want to get a crafter and gatherer to 30 so you can make your own dyes from pigments.

#

Crafters are in general great for glamourers

#

Want a piece of glam? Just craft it yourself.

frozen karma
#

is glamour dispel only for one item or can you use one dispeller to get rid of everything?

#

Also can you switch between different glamour plates at no cost?

obsidian patio
#

one per item for the dispeller

#

and yes you can freely swap between glamour plates as long as you're in a city

wheat hazel
#

Hey was wondering how do you get dreadwyrm totems for the bahamut weapons they look nice

obsidian patio
#

Those are from Ultimate Coil, a level 70 duty which is one of the hardest raids in the game.

jade quartz
#

Clear The Unending Coil of Bahamut (Ultimate), one of the three hardest pieces of content in the game.

wheat hazel
#

No wayyy lmao😭

jade quartz
#

It will realistically take months of progression and learning with a static raid group.

#

Make your dreams reality tho

obsidian patio
#

You can get non-glowy versions of the weapons from Final Coil of Bahamut - Turn 4

#

which is vastly easier.

wheat hazel
#

Do people still run it then? I realize it’s old content

rare karma
#

What are allagan tomestones of allegory and phantasmagoria used for?

open coral
#

Specifically, it's one of the three Ultimates which have compulsory level sync.

jade quartz
#

People still do old Ultimates yeah

wheat hazel
#

So ultimates are higher than savage?

jade quartz
#

they are still at a similar level of challenge to when they first came out, and are still a status symbol to have cleared.

obsidian patio
#

@rare karma They're spent in Eulmore for level 80 gear.

faint flare
#

Yes

jade quartz
#

Yes.

faint flare
#

Ultimates are the hardest pieces of content in the hard

rare karma
#

I c thx

jade quartz
#

Significantly harder than savage

slate arrow
#

Even if you got a small DPS boost with the ShB overhaul they're still significantly tough

faint flare
#

One mistake pretty much leads to a wipe

open coral
#

They're also really long fights by comparison.

faint flare
#

And they're long fights

wheat hazel
#

Damnnn

obsidian patio
#

yeah, 16-20 minutes

slate arrow
#

15-20 minutes depending on the fight

jade quartz
#

Coil is particularly long

slate arrow
#

not factoring in wipes and prog

faint flare
#

Vs the usual 10mins

#

Of savage

#

Not really counting cutscenes

#

Btw

open coral
#

Multiple phases too, with no checkpoints.

wheat hazel
#

Ok I’ve never raided before in this game but it takes 20 mins to do the ultimate coil?

slate arrow
#

Assuming you run them 4 hours a night following a guide, I'd say maybe a week or two assuming you have a static who works well together

jade quartz
#

It's a 20 minute fight with close to zero room for error, yeah

faint flare
#

It takes on average 100 hours or more

#

To clear

jade quartz
#

Progging it takes months

wheat hazel
#

100 hours doing what exactly

open coral
#

@wheat hazel You have to remember that when we say "raid" we're talking about a single-boss instance with no pre-clear trash.

jade quartz
#

Progging

slate arrow
#

progging

#

wiping

warped nest
#

Ultimate is on its own tier of difficulty. Do not derive the difficulty of the original content based on their ultimate

faint flare
#

Wiping and progression

slate arrow
#

solving

faint flare
#

And learning

jade quartz
#

i..e practicing, learning, throwing yourself at it and wiping over and over and getting a bit further each time hopefully

#

or lapsing backwards :^)

faint flare
#

You're NOT one shooting the fight

open coral
#

The time spent is just fighting the boss.

faint flare
#

Unless you're a fucking god gamer

wheat hazel
#

Oh shit okay that’s very interesting

warped nest
#

Take ultimate Alexander.

You have 4 phases with 5 bosses

wheat hazel
#

I thought I could just watch a YouTube video and jump in haha

faint flare
#

Hell no

slate arrow
#

haahhaah

warped nest
#

Nope

jade quartz
#

Haha no

#

Extreme primals are like that

open coral
#

There's always going to be a learning curve.

faint flare
#

Add like 100+ hours onto that video

warped nest
#

You can watch a video, and you won't even understand half the things are happening on screen

open coral
#

The curve for Ultimate is just way steeper

jade quartz
#

Ultimate is several orders of magnitude harder than extreme primals.

faint flare
#

And maybe you'll be on phase 3 of 5

wheat hazel
#

Okay I actually like that I want to be able to master it but don’t know where to start for practice like to get into even easy raids or even prepare to raid in general

open coral
#

There is, of course, always the option of buying your clears.

faint flare
#

Ultimates aren't for the faint of heart

open coral
#

But those are expensive

#

And still difficult

slate arrow
#

Those are also RMT

#

we don't talk about those

warped nest
#

Do Extreme Trials.
Then do savage trials.
Then find group to do Ultimates

open coral
#

Not necessarily RMT

leaden ginkgo
#

That's literally RMT

open coral
#

Gil is also a valid currency.

wheat hazel
#

So trials is the best way to start then?

silver ruin
#

no but wouldnt it require themlogging your acc for something like ultimates

#

thats still against tos

#

yea extreme trails

#

trials

open coral
#

Buying a clear for in game currency is not against ToS

slate arrow
#

I'd say we shouldn't argue what is and isn't RMT and ToS legal here

silver ruin
#

thats not what i said

#

that part isnt

leaden ginkgo
#

Letting someone else log onto your account is tho

warped nest
#

EX trials is your kiddy pool before you attempt swimming cross the ocean that is Ultimate

slate arrow
#

shoo, take it to PMs or something

acoustic island
#

rmt is real money trading, no real money no rmt

wheat hazel
#

And what’s the endgame content people are running now? To set a goal for myself

silver ruin
#

savage

#

ultimates

slate arrow
#

Right now it's Savage Eden floors 5 to 8

wheat hazel
#

For the 500+ gear

open coral
#

Savage raiding is typically considered the "endgame" for high end content for the majority of players.

silver ruin
#

eden 5-8

faint flare
#

Primarily savage and occasionally you'll see some statics recruiting for ultimates

slate arrow
#

While people are still running TEA(the current ultimate) for the status symbol

#

(it's technically old content but it's still the most current ultimate)

leaden ginkgo
#

the TEA weapons are so ugly though wtf

wheat hazel
#

I seen edenverse and edensgate assuming they aren’t the same right

faint flare
#

No

warped nest
#

Nope

silver ruin
#

edensgate is the tier before

warped nest
#

Different tier of Eden raid

slate arrow
#

They are not the same

open coral
#

TEA weapons are really cool looking though? They're shiny and stuff.

frozen karma
#

is it worth farming tomestones to get shire armour, or should I not bother?

warped nest
#

Eden gate is referred as E1-E4
Edenverse is E5-E8

faint flare
#

Yes

#

You should

wheat hazel
#

Ahhhh okay

faint flare
#

Its thr best gear at 60 thats easy to gey

leaden ginkgo
#

I was just not a, fan of most of the Shire weapons and I think the glow is kinda tacky

warped nest
#

You should get shire gears, they are the best at lvl 60.

open coral
#

@frozen karma Definitely do farm tomes for Shire gear and to upgrade it.

slate arrow
#

Shire is the best gear at 60 and it lasts until level 63-65

wheat hazel
#

So Eden raids in general are the new endgame stuff

warped nest
#

Just save poetics on the side as you do your MSQ

frozen karma
#

I mean I'm not even at the end of the heavensward story so

warped nest
#

Read what I said

faint flare
#

Then save poetics

warped nest
#

Just do roulette here and there

#

And save your poetics

#

Don't grind

frozen karma
#

I already have the creed set from paladin quest, I do roulette every day anyway for ezpz level up lmao

open coral
#

Eden's Verse, Ruby Weapon EX, and Memoria Misera EX are the current end game content, yes @wheat hazel

warped nest
#

Shire is i260

#

Upgraded shire is i270, and will last you into lvl 65 msq

wheat hazel
#

There’s so much content omg 😂😂 love it and overwhelmed

frozen karma
#

what's the ilvl of the end of heavensward? Cause I might just save the stones for lvl70 poetics armour lmao

slate arrow
#

275

#

well 270 + a 275 weapon

faint flare
#

Shire is the same as ironworks

#

Basically

warped nest
#

You can't get lvl 70 poetics armor until you finish Stormblood story

slate arrow
#

(which only drops from Alexander)

faint flare
#

For their respective level

warped nest
#

Just get the shire gear and saved yourself from gearing between lvl 60-65 msq

frozen karma
#

oh ok yeah then I will get stones lmao

open coral
#

@frozen karma You will overcap poetics long before you get to the end of Stormblood and can buy the Scaevan set.

#

Especially if you're doing daily roulettes.

wheat hazel
#

Are those poetics useless once you hit 80

faint flare
#

Not exactly

#

But mostly

#

You use them to buy additional relics

open coral
#

Nope, you can use them to buy gear for other jobs, as well as to purchase a variety of crafting materiel and other sundry items.

warped nest
#

Even when you are completely done

slate arrow
#

!faq Poetics

zinc orbitBOT
warped nest
#

You can use poetics to buy items to sell for gils

#

Demicrystal can be bought with poetics, and AFAIK, their only purpose is to for you to sell them for gils

slate arrow
#

A full list of everything useful you can buy with Poetics and their used

#

You can also buy the previous tier of gear for glamours

wheat hazel
#

Oh nice tyyy

slate arrow
#

so the hellfire set if you like that's look

open coral
#

Also, you need 1000 poetics to purchase the items needed to get any level 80 Relic weapon beyond your first.

warped nest
#

If you are doing the ARR or HW relic weapons for glamour

#

You'd wish that you can have more poetics

open coral
#

Basically, tons of uses for poetics

frozen karma
#

what about the lvl70 job quest armour isn't that even better than 260 from shire gear?

#

or do you need stormblood story for that?

faint flare
#

Yes. Shire is replaced at 63/65

#

And yes you need to be in stormblood foe its

#

Like you needed to be in heavensward for 50-60 job quests

isit expensive?

okok thanks for the help!

Everything can be used for glamour

#

A lot of higher level Dungeons have themed armor designs

silent pulsar
#

ahh i just started and is currently lvl 24 lancer

#

have any recommendations

#

?

hoary storm
#

Glamour can come from anywhere really, dungeons, market, mogstation (cash shop), id say for now worry about lvling and progressing story since most stuff is locked behind it

forest laurel
#

don't worry about glamour yet

warped nest
#

If you complete hall of Novice, you can get a pretty good functional gear that looks nice

#

Another early source of decent looking gear would be through your Grand Company

silent pulsar
#

ohhh

warped nest
#

Everything else in game only start to look good from lvl 40+ onward tbh

silent pulsar
#

yikes

#

i guess i have to grind then

warped nest
#

Just enjoy the game and slowly rise to greatness in the story

hoary storm
#

There are a bunch of lvl 1 glamour items on the marketboard but ofc they can be pricey

warped nest
#

No harm in looking, some of the Eureka stuff might be cheap because they are so common

hoary storm
#

True

warped nest
#

Do take note that applying glamour cost glamour prism

#

Which you need to buy from Marketboard, craft yourself, or buy from your GC

silent pulsar

Have fun

I guess this might be silly, but outside of reporting someone for harassment, is there anything else I can do about what I'd almost want to call a stalker at this point? I was in their FC, but left because of personal reasons, and they basically just keep showing up. When I started my own FC, I went plot hunting (oh the joys), and they'd turn up at every plot, which was okay - could have been there for the plot, other than the fact that they'd just stare, targeting me. but now that I have my own plot, they've shown up at least 3 times now, just staring / targeting and not really saying anything.
guess it's silly, and I can just turn off estate teleportation and the like, but still. wish I could block them, but I'd almost be afraid of the avalanche of shit that would cause. Maybe this is more for #rants than anything tatarucry

At lv70, how do I properly use perfect combo mid fight?

agile laurel
#

@jolly sorrel theoretically, boot+PB then DK, twin, boot, DK, demolish, boot, PB falls off, DK

#

iirc

#

if you hit twin on the combo immediately before, drop the twin in that and sub for an extra boot/DK

tidal yarrow
#

if there is an other tank, should I keep stance on or off?

proud willow
#

It's helpful if you turn your stance on like 20 seconds into the fight (or whenever) so that you'll be 2nd on the enmity list if the MT dies

#

but this also means keeping a constant eye on the enmity list to Shirk or turn stance off if you're about to overtake the MT

#

Realistically, there's very little danger in just keeping your stance off, as long as you're ready to Provoke and take over if the MT dies, but it may conceivably bother people who want it done "correctly"

@rare karma Correct. Same world only for FCs.

rare karma
#

Ok thx just wanted to confirm thank you

median inlet
#

It's every audio

strange coral
#

Check settings? Restart the game?

#

Did you plug in headphones or anything like that while the game was running?

tidal yarrow
#

@fallen swallow no worries.. same! actually you can use controller to play and keyboard just to type! many do this

open coral
#

@tidal yarrow If you have an Orchestrion (furnishing item), you can set a playlist of 5 or 6 songs from the Orchestrion Scrolls you've added to your personal collection.

#

Otherwise you're stuck with the default music

tidal yarrow
#

I'm still very new.. like not considering the way you can get them, can you use any song you want or there is like a limited pool?

open coral
#

If you open your menu you can view the entire list of available songs and how to obtain them under "Orchestrion Collection" in the Collections tab.

jade quartz
#

Most music tracks in the game are obtainable as an orchestrion roll.

#

There are many.

open coral
#

You can't import music from outside the game, if that's what you're wondering about, but as Lyon said, pretty much every track in the game has a corresponding orchestrion roll.

Hi guys I'm new to the game,can you tell me please that if I buy ffxiv shadowbringers I buy all the other DLCs?

junior yacht
#

yes

#

all expansions are bundled together

open coral
#

Yes, if you purchase the Shadowbringers expansion, you will also have access to Heavensward and Stormblood.

leaden ginkgo
#

Ok very well thank you all

open coral
#

However the Shadowbringers expansion alone does not include the base game, you'll have to buy that separately.

Can I do the stormblood job quests after I finish the heavensward main campaign, or do I need to do the whole epilogue as well?

little swift
#

you have to be into stormblood to do the stormblood job quests

warped nest
#

Some job quests, if not all of them, will need you to have access to Stormblood maps

frozen karma

oh right yeah that makes sense

Does Surface Slap work for only the next fish, or for the entire fishing session?

little swift
#

!action surface slap

zinc orbitBOT
#
**Surface Slap** : lvl 71 FSH (200 GP) (0.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Prevent hooking the same fish you just caught. Has no effect on some fish.
Duration: 15s
Effect ends after hooking a fish. Cancels current mooching opportunity.
Overwrites the effect of Identical Cast upon execution.

little swift
#

likely only the next fish since the buff will expire afterwards

#

its unlikely you can get 2 catches off in that time

#

due to animations and what not as well

jolly sorrel
#

Huh. theres plenty of fish that dont bite within 15 seconds though.. perhaps its active during the cast, not the catch?

little swift
#

it works like patience from what i can tell

#

if you're already midcast the buff doesn't fall off until you catch something

jolly sorrel

Alright, thanks

can you dye stuff in your glamour drawer?

Yes you can @frozen karma

frozen karma

also can you wear stuff from other classes as glamour?

jade quartz
#

No

frozen karma

can you wear stuff from a higher level as glamour?

jade quartz
#

Only items which are equippable by your current class will display as glamour

#

No, you cannot glamour a higher-level item appearance over a lower-level item

For crafting questions do i post them here?

If I have 5 duty roulette things, and I do all of them, why don't I level up 5 times?

#

do they stop working at some point?

jade quartz
#

Duty roulette rewards are once daily

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there any difference between the different GCs?

#

Or it doesn’t matter what we pick?

frozen karma
#

I was doing them earlier and if it has the blue arrow it should work right?

bronze tundra
#

@leaden ginkgo Only that Twin Adders is the best!

faint flare
#

They dont all offer the same amount of rewards

leaden ginkgo
#

I mean, that’s my first option XD

If you try to do them again the same day you will see the “reward already received” notice in the duty finder window

Grand Company FAQ
Info

Which Grand Company should I choose?

The only differences between the three Grand Companies are the looks of the equipment and where they're located. The story doesn't change in regards to the Grand Company you chose beside the quest that comes after "The Company You Keep". Here are two links leading to sample sets from each of the Grand Companies

Maelstrom
Twin Adders
Immortal Flames

How do I get Grand Company Seals?

You can get more seals mainly by completing your Grand Company Hunting Log (Go to the Hunting Log and click on the GC icon), completing FATEs, and turning in crafted/gathered items to the Personnel Officer if you have crafting or gathering classes unlocked. Once you are Sergeant 2nd Class you can turn in Pink/Green/Blue-rarity gear in for more seals.

jade quartz
#

I do not know what blue arrow you mean

little swift
#

Its all cosmetic and location preference

#

@leaden ginkgo

jade quartz
#

You should only run each roulette once daily.

faint flare
#

Levelling roulette offerd more XP than trial, guildhest nd 50/60/70

leaden ginkgo
#

Ah fair

#

Thanks guys

jade quartz
#

Leveling, alliance and Main Scenario roulette are the good ones for exp

#

And Trials because it’s short

remote lintel
#

I think they're referring to the "adventurer in need" thing

#

for the arrow

faint flare
#

That doesn't show an arrow, just static rewarss

#

The daily bonus shows the arrow to show it scales to your level

latent cobalt
#

what is a aetherflow gauge and how do you tell how much you have?

faint flare
#

It shows your aetherflow

remote lintel
#

your job gauge should be on your screen

faint flare
#

How many lights are lit show how much you have

#

It tells you in the job gauge description how it works

frozen karma
#

oh so it's just a ton of exp, not a guaranteed lvl up?

faint flare
#

So dont skip over it

#

Yes

jade quartz
#

Each pip is one aetherflow resource and lets you cast one aetherflow action.

what is the ornate version of gear good for? I know you get it from wondrous tails, but as far as i can tell there doesn't seem to be a difference to the "normal" version of that gear?

remote lintel

faint flare
#

It has 5 guaranteed slots

#

Vs the standard 2

Meaning you can meld 5 tier 8s

aaah okay, that makes sense

Instead of 2 (3 if overmelding)

How to get Dyeable Artifact Gear
Info

A Realm Reborn i50/i55 set: Done in Mor Dhona by talking to Kakalan at x22, y6 after completing the quest 'Simply to Dye For' located at x22, y9. Augmenting a set of gear requires a total of 7 Augmentations matching the name of the set. Augmentations can be crafted or bought on the marketboard.

Heavensward i200 set: Done in Idyllshire by talking to Seika at x7, y7. The materials needed to augment the gear are buyable with Centurio Seals in Ishgard at the Forgotten Knight by talking to Ardolain in the 'Exchange Centurio Seals (Advanced)' option.

Stormblood i290 set: Done in Eureka Anemos by exchanging Protean and Anemos Crystals with Gerolt to upgrade the set. Eureka is unlocked in Rhalgr's Reach with the quest 'And We Shall Call It Eureka' and is accessed in Kugane by talking to Rodney at x9, y14.

Shadowbringers i430 set: Obtained from Idealized coffers in the trial Memoria Misera (Extreme). They can also be bought with High Legatus Idols obtained from the trial in Mor Dhona by talking to C'intana.

Also needs to be augmented

how do you get the hyperconductive weapons?

remote lintel
#

do the anima relic weapon quest

frozen karma
#

how easy is it to get the replica versions of them?

#

for glamour

spare heron
#

You have to complete the quest series, then you can get replicas of each stage

remote lintel
#

after you get the hyperconductive you can just buy it

frozen karma
#

the whole series?

spare heron
#

I'm pretty sure? If it works the same way as zodiac ones. I'm doing the anima quest rn so I haven't checked yet, but zodiac you can't get replicas til the whole series's finished

faint flare
#

Hypercondunctive is like half way for anima

#

Or just abit over

remote lintel
#

hyperconductive is the second step

#

o nvm

#

4th step

twilit arch
#

zodiac is the only one that requires you to complete the chain in its entirety to get previous step's replicas

#

anima/eureka, you simply need to have completed the appropriate step to get its replica

spare heron
#

woop, my bad

magic sable

guys im thinking of making a healer so what should i pick. i kinda like the scholar since i level summoner but i really like the look of astro but i heard its the most complex but im a pretty quick learner

faint flare
#

Do whatever

#

They all start out basic

magic sable
#

ah okay

remote lintel
#

scholar is harder than ast imo

#

for a different reason

#

also its not even that complex

magic sable
#

okay

#

never played any healer in this just dps and tank

remote lintel
#

it's not too hard to get into

#

healers mostly dps until they need to heal

do you need to finish heavensward for that?

yes

There's no way to properly macro markers

People used the Saved Waymarks for that

you can save the marks

it's a macro for people to call positions for mechanics

ohhh

can you dye the sword/shield of the round?

green grail

for relic weapons, do I only need to start at the beginning of the quest chain, or are there multiple entry points for different weapons? also is relic weapon bis up to this patch?

Hey! Sorry if I'm repeating myself with these kinds of questions but since I bought the complete edition of FFXIV I'd like to know where I can redeem it and IF I can redeem it since it's a physical copy. I'd like to redeem it for the free trial whoops sorry if the question is long

also little tip @leaden ginkgo if you subscribe to the game in the future, find a friend who plays ffxiv and use their friend referral code before subbing. I mean, it's not a big deal (I don't think) but it's nice to have I guess?

leaden ginkgo

Is there a website where I can look how various piece of gear look on a particular character ? like a dresser ?
@oblique delta you can check out Garlandtools for the 3d model viewer or gamerescape has most gear pieces with pictures of them on every race. Also eorzea collection you can filter certain races and glams afaik

if it doesn't say (pc download) its the physical version

i don't know where you found the physical version

#

because i dont see it listed on the store

zealous bridge
#

where is the PC download

remote lintel
#

i scrolled down?

twilit arch
#

there's a filter to the side that lets you select PC Download

zealous bridge
#

I selected this

#

That one wasn't there earlier

remote lintel
#

should have been

zealous bridge
#

Why the fuck did it link me to a physical version of the starter edition? Why would they even have a physical version of this?

twilit arch
#

because some people like physical copies of games?

zealous bridge
#

it's a starter edition?

pastel sparrow
#

there's no physical copy of the DLC afaik? the physical copy is starter

twilit arch
#

there is physical copies of shadowbringers

pastel sparrow
#

is it in the same store? (asking for me)

twilit arch
#

yes

remote lintel
#

yes

zealous bridge
#

this is just terrible, the entire website is terrible

I had to repurchase the starter edition because my Steam account apparently doesn't have any characters anymore

and I can't resubscribe because the steam button is broken and it won't let me do it with a credit card

can you not do it through crysta

pastel sparrow
#

hey so when I go to the Gerolt npc for relic weapon quest, it only shows the quests for other my classes and not astrologian? also there is no class quest link underneath my MSQ banner in the top corner so im assuming I finished them all? (I don't remember because I haven't played AST in a long while)

remote lintel
#

did you switch to ast

pastel sparrow
#

yeah

remote lintel
#

oh

#

are you doing ARR

#

relic

pastel sparrow
#

i think so. I haven't done any relics before

remote lintel
#

is it lvl 50

pastel sparrow
#

my class? I'm lvl 80 ast

remote lintel
#

no the quest

pastel sparrow
#

oo yes the other ones are

remote lintel
#

that's why

#

there's no ast weapon for the ARR relic

#

because ast is HW

twilit arch
#

relic weapons are only for jobs that were around for that level cap

pastel sparrow
#

ah

twilit arch
#

so zodiac is only for ARR jobs, anima is arr+hw jobs, etc

remote lintel
#

yep

pastel sparrow
#

I'm a lil confused now, how do I jump from here to the start of ast relic? I just go to a different npc?

remote lintel
#

go to Rowena in idyllshire

pastel sparrow
#

the wiki page is confusing me I mean. not u guys lol

remote lintel
#

should be a quest

the anima relic's unlock quest is from rowena ins idyllshire

for the flower?

#

not sprout?

twilit arch
#

given they're a new player, and said its been like a month

#

i assume they're talking about sprout

and not returner status

cos returner status is removed within like 2 days or so. it doesn't last long at all

I just started playing FFXIV a few days ago and I'm typically a support player. I'm trying to focus playing white mage but from what i've seen as far as end game rotations it seems like my rotations will be really complex. Would it be better for me to keep playing it to get muscle memory or try something else first?

remote lintel
#

healers don't really have rotations

wintry chasm
#

Healers don't really get rotations so much

#

It's just put dot up when you have to and spam your one or two attacks

remote lintel
#

also white mage is the easiest healer

wintry chasm
#

And heal when necessary
