questions-and-help

[dry ocean]

Im new, so I've been asking lots of people. I hope I don't annoy them

[marble drift]

we wouldn't be in the channel if answering questions annoyed us

[vagrant copper]

If you see someone wearing something, you can right-click them and "examine" them to see what they're wearing

[leaden ginkgo]

I think i have the hat, its called: Boarskin survival hat

So if i get another Refer Recruit
Just like... registering it, wlil give me more feathers, yes?

[median locust]

Look for the Anemos Hat on the market board, it's a lv1 All class Cowboy Hat

[leaden ginkgo]

Regardless of sub or such?

[vagrant copper]

Pretty much, Vhy. Though you'll also get more friendship circlets or whatever

[marble drift]

like someone using your code?

[dry ocean]

are there dyeable shors in this game?

[leaden ginkgo]

Yah, someone usnig the code

[marble drift]

they need to sub i think for the feathers

first sub gets you feathers

[leaden ginkgo]

I know you get more feathers, if they sub longer

But the word like, seems to just imply that its just

[vagrant copper]

You don't get any rewards until they sub

[leaden ginkgo]

Registering it?

geh

[median locust]

and the free 30 days don't count

[marble drift]

if you refer someone and they sub you get feathers

[leaden ginkgo]

orz

[marble drift]

if you refer a new person and they sub.

more feathers

if either of them stay subbed. MORE feathers

[leaden ginkgo]

Well i used the Raf Reddit

So

zero clue when then

[marble drift]

its random.

[leaden ginkgo]

You are at a limit of hard 5 registers, no?

[vagrant copper]

Never heard of a limit other than the small time between codes

[leaden ginkgo]

ohwait

Its just

up to 5 rewards, no?

Or did they fully changed that, cus the RAF stuff says

[vagrant copper]

Oh, I guess there is a limit on the feathers you can get. 🤷‍♂️

[marble drift]

I don't believe its possible to miss a reward from gold feathers tho

[vagrant copper]

What do you mean by that?

[marble drift]

the limit of feathers is higher than the amount of feathers you can spend on stuff

cause its all mounts n minions no?

[vagrant copper]

There's also metallic dyes and aetheryte tickets (woo!)

[marble drift]

ohright dyes

[vagrant copper]

You need 31 feathers for all 3 mounts (don't know which are exclusive to this). You can get 45 total feathers.

[median locust]

All 3 are exclusive

[marble drift]

I really should get my code and post it over to that reddit

the twintania mount is too cool D:

[leaden ginkgo]

I just hope

its not like

a 'dead code'

But part of me feels that at some point they would sub

[vagrant copper]

🤷‍♂️

Best you can do is hope and invite more people

[molten spruce]

soooo ive been in pvp queue for 30 mins and it said average wait time was less than 5 mins, is this normal?

[open coral]

Reset is the time of day (or week) when the bonuses for various activities... reset.

[molten spruce]

is it possible to add mount on hotbar in pvp?

[vagrant copper]

There's not like a hidden moogle radar or something, is there? Swear I'm herding cats here or something. -_-

[open coral]

Hidden... moogle radar? For... for what?

[vagrant copper]

I've done like 3 "find the missing moogles" quests so far. They all suck

Should be easy. They're in a big red circle. FInd them. But no, they're moogles and this game has crappy draw distance. -_-

[median locust]

@molten spruce You can, go to the Wolves' Den (in which you have your PvP hotbars) then add the mount to your hotbar as you normally would.

[wintry chasm]

Rule 1 of those quests: they are always on the outside of the circle
Rule 2: look in the most bullshit places like on top of towers or behind a thing

[vagrant copper]

Hmm. I'll keep that in mind for the next one.

Oh, look. Here it is. lol

[cyan temple]

does the level of the mop change the drop rate of the item?

like if i went to farm level 50 boar does it have the same drop chance of level 25 boar?

[median locust]

Probably yeah, but I don't know for sure

[limber sun]

so I recently caught up with MSQ and hit 80 in a few jobs. What are some things I should be focusing on next?

I went back and did the Alexander and Omega quest lines, haven't really started Eden yet. Never did any of the relic weapon quests, should I do that?

[strange coral]

Do the current relic quest line, do eden quest line, neir quest line, twinning and akademia anyder for level 80 roulette

[median locust]

There isn't anything you should do. The game doesn't have anything mandatory past MSQ and gearing, really.

But I'd recommend doing the lv70 Alliance Raids so you can pick up lv80 relics at least. They're amazing weapons for how easy they are to get.

[marble drift]

also depending on your class they look sweet

[limber sun]

oh yeah I did Twinning and AA too

[median locust]

You can do past relics but you might have heard that they're only for the glamour. None of them are actually good weapons for how much time they take to make

[marble drift]

like Warrior or Dark Knight. super nice lookin' weapons

currently. the Shadowbringers relic stage (which is only on its first stage) will last until patch 5.4

[limber sun]

What are the level 70 Alliance Raids? they are needed for level 80 stuff?

[median locust]

They're one of the requirements for the lv80 relic stuff

[magic light]

a single relic weapon needs 4 thav scalepowder, right?

[limber sun]

looks like I never unlocked any Alliance raids for SB 🤔

[magic light]

or was it 6?

[marble drift]

only for every one past your first Inane

first one is a freebie

for your alts. 4 powders

[median locust]

It starts in Kugane with a blue quest @limber sun

Dramatis Personae I think

[limber sun]

oh I think I ran into them and shelved that for later

now is later 😄 good call

[marble drift]

time to take em off the shelf

[median locust]

Super fun raids btw

[marble drift]

I may be bias because of my love of the setting but i believe they are the best alliance raids

[limber sun]

yeah it looked like something I wanted to read and not skip through

which is why I put it off

[marble drift]

If you played FFTactics on the PS1 or FF12. you're in for a fun time

[forest laurel]

you also get some event tomestones from the ivalice raids

[marble drift]

BUT not required for a nice story

[limber sun]

played T, never finished 12

[marble drift]

you're gonna have a blast

[molten spruce]

update:ive been in pvp queue for 1 hour still no matchup

[marble drift]

You're on an NA server. its 9 am

not exactly primetime mate

also pvp isn't really the focus of XIV players

most XIV players I should say

[twilit abyss]

Hi! I'm a new BLM, and i just unlocked the elemental gauge - exactly what am i trying to achieve with this gauge?

[molten spruce]

is it possible to set up macros of combos like in pvp where one button triggers a few abilities?

[vagrant copper]

Not really No

[molten spruce]

that would have made game so much easier lol

[marble drift]

don't be that lazy. theres not that many buttons

[molten spruce]

nah just like 30 hahahaha

im used to only using 10 abilities or less coming from eso

[marble drift]

thats ESO's fault

not XIV's problem

[lavish breach]

is there a limit to how many early blade of antiquity u can earn?

[marble drift]

10 buttons means every encounter is the exact same. your rotation is literally braindead.

[lavish breach]

or is it the same as the eden verse?

[marble drift]

the older blades are farmable

[lavish breach]

oh thank god

[marble drift]

the newest of the lot is 1 per week

[open coral]

Early Blade of Antiquity (from E4) can be earned every time you run the instance.

[lavish breach]

thought i spent 1k phanta for nothing

[marble drift]

well you kinda did. if you want a deepshadow weapon you should probably go get your relic

its 15 levels higher with 3 more materia slots

[lavish breach]

oh god

i

fking

forgot

LOL

[open coral]

lol

[marble drift]

heheheh

[lavish breach]

I LITERALLY HAVE THAT FOR TWO OF MY CLASSES

NOOOOO

;_;

[marble drift]

oh jeez

[lavish breach]

i dont function without coffee

[vagrant copper]

Alright. I've literally done every sidequest in The Churning Mists. Where should I be going next for Moogle tribe? -_-

[open coral]

Just exchange the lower level weapons for GC seals

[marble drift]

hey well take a look anyway and maybe one of them takes your fancy for glam

[lavish breach]

shiet

i wish i could sell these

mowena tokens back

[marble drift]

then you can augment it and dye it and use it for looks

[lavish breach]

RIP

[magic light]

was there a trick to ignore the dmg resistance of the thing? I recall somehow being able to ignore the adds and burn it to death in a specific position, never understood how it worked

[marble drift]

kill the adds

nah what you experianced was just high dps

[magic light]

there was a spot that a tank in a run pulled to where we could just ignore the adds, it wasn't?

[marble drift]

enough dps tears through its health too fast

no

[open coral]

You can largely ignore the adds. Cid will kill the ones shielding it.

[marble drift]

msq roulettes ilvl sync is way WAY higher than the ilvl required to go in

so dps is insane

[wintry chasm]

Alright. I've literally done every sidequest in The Churning Mists. Where should I be going next for Moogle tribe? -_-
doing them all is a bit excessive but https://ffxiv.consolegameswiki.com/wiki/Tricks_and_Stones

@vagrant copper

[hazy flint]

I’ve completely forgotten what the stars next to the item mean in the gathering log

I need bloodhemp is it timed or is it not

[vagrant copper]

That moogle does not exist for me...

[wintry chasm]

No Solid it isn't

Stars don't mean timed

it just means...difficulty I guess is the most apt explanation

If you look in your gathering log if it was timed it'd give a time or just say something annoying like ???

@vagrant copper didn't do everything then

[hazy flint]

It says it’s in east end yet there is no blue btn gather points

Hmmm

[wintry chasm]

It's by the top of the river

ish

[hazy flint]

Ahhhh il take a look

[wintry chasm]

Just look through this list and see what you did or didn't do @vagrant copper

[vagrant copper]

Yeah, I'm looking

[wintry chasm]

I'm assuming you missed that one quest in the pillars

[vagrant copper]

Probably

[molten spruce]

lol so i just read that with macros essentially u can trigger a full rotation by pressing a single button, is this true?

[vagrant copper]

Haven't done any sidequests in Foundation

[wintry chasm]

theoretically yes but absolutely don't akimbo

[faint flare]

Its a extreme dps lost

[molten spruce]

i wouldnt, no fun in that

[jolly sorrel]

Is Doton worth keeping up on single targets?

[wintry chasm]

macros should not be used for combat outside of something like a raise macro to show who you are raising

[faint flare]

No

[jolly sorrel]

Loud and clear.

[faint flare]

Doton is shit in Single target

And idk why others do it

[forest laurel]

or a targeted aoe like Earthly Star or Asylum

[faint flare]

The extra mudra isn't worth it

[jolly sorrel]

From how much targets is Katon/Doton worth it?

[faint flare]

2+ iirc

[molten spruce]

if i wanted to level a Dark Knight do i start at lvl 1, 30, or 50?

[forest laurel]

30

DRK starts at 30

[faint flare]

Dark starts at 30

[molten spruce]

roger

[jolly sorrel]

Alright, and i'm assuming Doton > Katon always

[forest laurel]

but you need to reach Ishgard to get to unlock DRK

[molten spruce]

and all jobs without a prerequisit am i right?

[faint flare]

Doton if mobs will survive the duration

Katon otherwise

[leaden ginkgo]

^

[forest laurel]

you can play any job you want and still be able to unlock DRK

[leaden ginkgo]

Once you get level 76 use katon under kassatsu

[molten spruce]

ishgard houses astrologians and dark knights?

[leaden ginkgo]

And machinist

[forest laurel]

astrologian, machinist and dark knight

[molten spruce]

and for blue mage?

[forest laurel]

ngl, heavensward jobs are the most fun I've had with their respective roles

[indigo orbit]

blue mage starts in limsa

[faint flare]

Blue is limsa

[leaden ginkgo]

Blue mage is also a "limited" class

[molten spruce]

where is rogue and samurai?

ninja not rogue lol

[leaden ginkgo]

Limsa at level 10

To unlock rogue

[forest laurel]

rogue is at limsa

[leaden ginkgo]

Samurai is up dah at 50

[faint flare]

Samurai is uldah

[forest laurel]

samurai is ul'dah at lvl 50

[leaden ginkgo]

Whilst we're at it

[jolly sorrel]

Has there ever been mention of other limited classes?

[molten spruce]

but where exactly in the city

[leaden ginkgo]

Red mage is also up dah at 50

[faint flare]

They murmured it

[leaden ginkgo]

The rogues guild

Go to the fisherman's guild

[indigo orbit]

There's been murmurs about beastmaster but nothing official

[leaden ginkgo]

And walk down from there

Dancer is also limsa at 60

[faint flare]

Beastmaster and puppet master iirc have been mentioned

[jolly sorrel]

.... beastmaster is a great idea though

[leaden ginkgo]

And gunbreaker at 60 in gridania

[indigo orbit]

It was more they said IF they did BST it would be a limited job

[molten spruce]

its like the summoner though

[median locust]

They said Blue Mage was the "first ever Limited job" and that it "hypothetically" opens up possibilities for other jobs such as Beastmaster, when they first revealed it

But nothing 100% confirmed, as in there isn't a "yes, we are working on Beastmaster"

[molten spruce]

my item lvl is the number with an asterisk?

[faint flare]

Yes

[steel anvil]

which crafting job(s) can desynth items into fire shards/crystals etc ?

[molten spruce]

im lvl 37 with ilvl 27, normal?

[median locust]

All crafters can do that

[faint flare]

Mostly

Until 50 your ilvl is roughly around your level

Then it jumps

[steel anvil]

Ah ok, I just haven't seen any with culinary I guess

[faint flare]

Alot

[steel anvil]

but I've only done desynth on fish too so maybe thats why

[median locust]

Maybe someone can correct me, but I thought you got shards/crystals anytime you used Desynth? I'm confused right now lol

[steel anvil]

I got water shards from the fish I desynthed

I'm trying to get fire specifically

just wasn't sure if it was item related or like I needed to level desynth on a blacksmith (as opposed to culinary) to get them

[next wind]

don't want to look like a fool in my PF so asking here.. xD what does R1 R2 mean?

[marble drift]

ranged 1 and 2

ranged dps

[next wind]

oh okay

[marble drift]

generally parties want to be 2 melee 2 ranged for thier dps makeups

[tidal yarrow]

is there any site where I can look at different dyes of a specific dress?

for context I want to do that but I can't play the game rn

[next wind]

thx

[marble drift]

I was just about to type that

[median locust]

Oh sorry @steel anvil I missed that you only wanted fire shards. I don't know then, sadly

[marble drift]

you could try Eorzea Collection @tidal yarrow

and find a user submitted glam using the dress you want

[somber olive]

Anyone want to party up? It may be a waste of time with me. Only lvl 3. But want to learn and it would ve amazing to have some seasoned vets to help lmao. If not any tips and tricks are appreciated!

[tidal yarrow]

I'm gonna take a look

thx

[marble drift]

best way to learn is go it alone for now Nebo.

[median locust]

Also read the Active Help! It's useful

[tidal yarrow]

how hard it is to craft stuff like raincoat? or taoist's set? cause I went broke and spent all my gil as I do every 3-4 days but I'm wondering if actually crafting would be worth

[indigo orbit]

Getting the mats for those is the hard part IIRC

[median locust]

If you have the mats and crafters levelled, easy. If you lack either, hard

[tidal yarrow]

never crafted anything and still relatively new to the game

[indigo orbit]

Taoists items require Taoist's Wool which only drops from SB treasure maps.

[tidal yarrow]

sb?

[indigo orbit]

Stormblood aka level 70 content

[tidal yarrow]

oh..

yeah I'm afraid that being still at ARR I can't craft many stuff

I'm level 60 now

[indigo orbit]

A lot of the other glamour mats come from treasure maps IIRC

[median locust]

You'd have to get the crafter that crafts those pretty high up as well (Lv70* Weaver for Taoist and Lv70*** for Raincoat)

[tidal yarrow]

alright!

so I guess I'll keep spending everything on mb for a while^^'

I mean I don't see any other way to spend gil anyway

I just love making glams and game let me do it quite easily

[marble drift]

you really should probably get to 80. you'll be able to earn good amounts of gil with the activities there

before you drop your entire wallet on glam #41028

[tidal yarrow]

I grind all days! always doing dailies

[marble drift]

dailies are...not a great source of gil

this isnt wow

[tidal yarrow]

never played wow.. :c

but I meant I grind to get 80!

[fresh lodge]

Daily roulettes are a good source of gil

[marble drift]

you shouldn't have to grind. MSQ will get you 99% of the way

[fresh lodge]

Its not a quick way to make gil, but it adds up over time

[tidal yarrow]

I'm on the 4800exp each filler msq so it's really slow as of now

I should be almost to heavensword tho

[median locust]

Heavensward, because it's Heavens-ward (as in upward), not Heaven Sword :p

[leaden ginkgo]

No

Its heavensward

As in heavens ward

[marble drift]

I was under the impression it meant BOTH of those things

[leaden ginkgo]

Yeah

Its a cool.play on words

how do i find mineral deposits? if i click the 'prospect' skill nothing appears on my map

[median locust]

Different people say it's something different that's why it's confusing

Are you in an area for mineral deposits of your level?

iirc Central Thanalan has lv5 nodes, see if you see any there.

[tidal yarrow]

oh thank you Fissie! didn't know

[leaden ginkgo]

oh alright, i'll try Central Thanalan, thx

havent seen any :/

am i supposed to walk around the map till i see something appear on my minimap?

[median locust]

Yeah there should be small pickaxe icons on the minimap

Are you on miner? You need to be on the class to see them

[leaden ginkgo]

ah, yeah i'm on miner

[leaden ginkgo]

nvm found it!

[past raptor]

what amount of determination would you recommend to a caster dps ?

[median locust]

If not level 80, don't worry about it
If level 80, you should get the highest iLv pieces possible, and only then worry about substats. After that you should follow your job's meld priority

[next wind]

hey guys, why Linkshells are greyed out for me?

[median locust]

Maybe you haven't joined or created one

[wintry chasm]

^

That'd be why

[next wind]

oh okay that's why xD I thought I needed to unlock it or smth

so if I join one it will show right

thanks

[noble ember]

Anyone know what the little icon that looks like a lil heart rate monitor line is next to friends on friends list

[faint flare]

It retrieves their current status

It shows on friends that are on other servers

[noble ember]

Thank you!

[next wind]

I never see E1S-E3S on pf and duty finder is always 30+ mins, am I missing something here or is it just not really popular to do?

[median locust]

E1-4S are past Savage tiers that don't award gear good enough to be worth doing. They're also too hard for most people to farm for glam. Therefore it'll be very hard to find a group for them

[next wind]

I see, thanks

I thought it would be a good practise before E5S-E8S but I guess not xD

[median locust]

Note: You only need to beat E8 normal mode for E5-8S. Beating the last tier isn't required

Ok so

Tiers always have 4 fights scaling up in difficulty

[next wind]

I guess I'll go for E5S straight away then, I found some parties for E4S but we were nevr able to clear

[median locust]

With the first being easiest, then 4th being hardest

[next wind]

right, that explains E4S difficulty, thanks 🙂

[median locust]

So difficulty goes E5S < E6S < E7S < E8S

E5S is supposed to be an "intro" fight, just like E1S

and E4S was the last fight in the tier

so it's harder than 5 by a mile

[next wind]

okay lol, that explains why after 10h of practise we can get to like 50% xD

thanks

[median locust]

@nova wraith What do you mean by eligible dungeons?

[floral halo]

is there any platform to look for a free company?

[median locust]

You can farm as much Phantasmagoria as you want, and 450 Allegory a week, no matter the source.

Oh, that

No, you can farm a single dungeon over and over

It doesn't give it to you if it's unsynced or if you got it "In Progress"

@floral halo Check the channel #recruitment-light or /r/FFXIVrecruitment

[floral halo]

thanks

[median locust]

Dying won't make you lose it, no idea why you didn't get it, but you can definitely do the same thing over and over for the tomestones

Yeah

[raven sage]

@nova wraith Just want to correct that you can get event tomes from an in progress session

[median locust]

They changed that?

[raven sage]

with either the last even or the one before it yes

And if you check the event page it's no longer listed

[median locust]

Oh yep, they did. Wonder why they changed it.

[steel wedge]

Is there a way I can quickly get Poetic tombstones?

The fact that I don’t have full armor and weapon set is bothering me

[radiant brook]

whats the best way to level your chocobo to lvl 10?

[little swift]

!faq poetics

[zinc orbit]

What Should I spend my Poetics on?

Info

Text Guide on what to spend Tomestones of Poetics on

Video guide on how to get more Tomestones of Poetics

[median locust]

Depends on your level. Roulettes are a good source of Poetics, doing new dungeons you haven't done before, Eureka if you have a few levels in there, or you can just spam Aetherical Research Facility. 150 tomestones a run.

[little swift]

Ghimlyt is also a good source of poetics

@radiant brook your weekly challenge log, fates, feeding it when its stabled once an hour

[steel wedge]

But the wait time is always over 30 minutes for me 😓 Maybe it’s because I’m a DPS class

[limber sun]

you can always do the dungeons as healer or tank and use the poetics toward dps gear

[radiant brook]

can it be leveled to 10 within a week? doing that everyday?

from lvl 4?

[open coral]

You can level a job from 4 to 10 in like, an hour.

Less.

[little swift]

Once you finish the challenge log it slows down a bit

[radiant brook]

chocobo i mean

[little swift]

They're talking about chocobo

[steel wedge]

I think she was talking about Chocobo

[open coral]

Oh, chocobo

[little swift]

It slows down and can be a bit of a mindless grind

[open coral]

No. Those are harder.

Challenge log and FATEs are the best way I've found.

[little swift]

But 6 levels in a week might be doable at the cost of your sanity

[open coral]

Since syncing down to a FATE's level counts.

[radiant brook]

damn

[little swift]

I'd just do it slowly over time and keep your chicken out whenever you're doing overworld stuff

[open coral]

For choco to 10, you can reasonably expect 1/2 to 1 level per week if you value your sanity.

[radiant brook]

wow

[open coral]

After 10 though... that's when it starts getting really ugly.

[gloomy ice]

And expensive

[radiant brook]

i didnt know it was that bad

[pulsar wren]

Is 90fps still cap?

[spiral belfry]

no

[little swift]

You can uncap fps if you want to

[gloomy ice]

They removed the cap because it hurt more than it helped

[little swift]

But the physics in the game are less fucky at 60

[pulsar wren]

Oh cool just asking becouse yesterday I was at 90, and found a reddit post about it

Didnt know they removed it

Reagan peppers are used to respec your chocbo

Can be bought with gc seals or allied seals

Allied seals is cheaper

[sullen pulsar]

ah ok thanks

[steel wedge]

At level 61 can I do hunts?

[open coral]

Yes

[molten spruce]

where is the merchant for chocobo feather in ul dah?

[open coral]

You'll need to go through the unlocking quests in order to do them, but you can do hunts starting at level 50.

Well, that's not entirely correct.

You can do A and S rank hunt trains without unlocking the hunts.

[steel wedge]

Got ya ok are the older hunt content still worth doing?

[open coral]

But if you want to do marks, then you'll need to unlock the hunts.

[lime quarry]

Where do you find hunt trains at?

[steel wedge]

Or should I just wait till I’m level 80?

[open coral]

They're not... really worth it, I guess?

[median locust]

@molten spruce Should be next to the Weaver's guild I think. There's an open area there.

[gloomy ice]

@molten spruce Gold/silver feathers? The calamity salvager. Between the Weavers and Miners guild.

[molten spruce]

ok

thxxx

[open coral]

I don't know if you need to unlock the hunt boards in order to access the vendors at higher levels.

[little swift]

B ranks are okay to snatch up every week but older daily hunts are super fantastic

Aren't

Unless you're on level for exp

[molten spruce]

how do i link this discord server to a friend on whatsapp?

hes new too

where do i buy the chocobo lettuce

nvm found it

[olive cedar]

hi (dunno if right place to ask) i'm pentamelding gatherer maybe i should wait next patch but i like the sound of broken materia...someone told me 2421 gathering 2345 perception and 836 gp is the goal...there is a sheet/link to have an idea how to do it?

[steel wedge]

I’m trying to figure out materia slots work

Why do you sometimes they can be put in fine but other times they don’t reach the recommended item level even though the gear is over the item level of the material

[obsidian wren]

at the bottom it shows the max stats you can have on the item

when melding

[little swift]

!faq melding

[zinc orbit]

Materia & Melding FAQ

Info

How do I unlock melding?

Complete Forging the Spirit (materia extract/npc melding) and Waking the Spirit (player melding) in Central Thanalan.

How can I get my gear melded?

To meld visible Materia slots a NPC melder in any major city will do (marked with a Blue Materia icon on the map). To overmeld gear you'll need to request another player to meld your gear or to do it yourself.

Why can't I meld this Materia to my stuff?

Every Tier of Materia has a minimum item level requirement that gear must meet to allow melding of that Tier. Tier 6 Materia requires an item level of 290 while Tiers 7 and 8 require an item level of 420.

Why is my meld giving +0 stats?

Every item has a maximum amount of stats that can be given through melding and the natural stats found on the gear. This can be seen at the bottom of the Materia Melding menu, as seen in the picture below.

The secondary stat with a higher number is already at the cap and cannot be further melded.

[obsidian wren]

^

[spiral belfry]

you right click on a piece of gear, choose meld, and then look at the stats at the bottom of the window. It will say the max number that you can meld.

[obsidian wren]

like that det is at 256/256 so any det materia wouldn't add more

and a 2nd lv 8 crit materia wouldn't give max stats either

but sks has plenty of leeway so you can go all out on sks and still have points left

[olive cedar]

i maxed out what is impossiblr to do another way like foot and legs i kno w how to meld only to have stats as i write need to choose in some pieces

aryala i cant do it in short time searching for an already made sheet

without mindblowing

[spiral belfry]

Are you looking for what each piece should have melded to it?

[olive cedar]

yes to arrive 2421 2345 836

[spiral belfry]

It may be a little different for each person

[median locust]

Here's the set I used when I grinded for Malone.
https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1CRMI

[spiral belfry]

Ashe10 on youtube has some great videos on max crafting

[median locust]

It's not that bad but requires a big stack of Coffee Biscuits HQ (which are really easy to make)

[spiral belfry]

Also, look on the MB for people selling the piece you are melding, scroll down and there will be some already pentamelded. See what they did.

[olive cedar]

i like do it by miself i will truy your sheet but why need biscuits?

[median locust]

you don't reach the stats with just the melds

[spiral belfry]

Look on MB to see what they did, not buy it.

[median locust]

Biscuits give you the missing stats

[leaden ginkgo]

is seventh astral era storyline updated yet? or not

the patches before heavensward

[spiral belfry]

ARR? no

[olive cedar]

i was used to the gp food like peppered popotes hq

[leaden ginkgo]

ah i heard they were gonna update that

[spiral belfry]

ARR cleanup is with next patch, in about a month

[leaden ginkgo]

ah cool

[spiral belfry]

soon!

[leaden ginkgo]

yeah! 😄

is there no way to get the aetheryte earnings as a new player?

[median locust]

Nope, was a ShB preorder thing

[lime shuttle]

Did spiritbinding change at some point? I could swear it used to "use" the item up versus just extracting the materia.

[muted sun]

They changed it around 5.1 I believe

[median locust]

That was changed in the last patch, yeah. Now you just get materia and that's it

[lime shuttle]

Oh, that's cool

[muted sun]

Previously you received materia in exchange for the item, now it just resets spiritbond back to 1%

[lime shuttle]

Coming back after a few years and just catching up on a bunch of changes 😄

[median locust]

No downside to grabbing the materia whatsoever

[lime shuttle]

I have a bunch of trash materia, anything I can do with it?

[indigo orbit]

Sell it

[muted sun]

If you have expired materia (no longer used in game) then you can vendor it

[lime shuttle]

$$$ 🙂

[muted sun]

cha-ching!

[median locust]

Yeah main stat and elemental materia aren't useable anymore, you can either vendor them or transmute them

Depends when you quit though lol

[indigo orbit]

Since it's only vendor I think you can sell it to doman reconstruction and get a little extra

[muted sun]

Yeah I recently got rid of a whole page of materia in a retainer b/c it was stuff like +int

Oh yeah I think doman enclave pays 200% on any donation value

[faint flare]

Only when fully completed

Which takes several weeks

[muted sun]

Ah, sorry bout that

[indigo orbit]

I think it's like 120% at first

[olive cedar]

https://ffxiv.ariyala.com/1DCRM ok this is mine atm some is fulled some just need 1 piece to maxed and some is empty to arrive at the goal 2421 2345 836 ...helpers are welcome

still have clear faceted tools to do if necessary

[muted sun]

nice! did you have a question about it or was that link for someone else's reply?

[grizzled mist]

How do I get the Lvl. 58 scrip stuff?

These are all the options I have in the scrip exchange

[muted sun]

You probably have to go to Idyllshire and it will be on the level 50 tab in Idyllshire

[grizzled mist]

Ah, lemme try checking Idyllshire then

[muted sun]

Yeah, that one throws me off a bit too so I think it's in Idyllshire

[grizzled mist]

OH MY GOD IT'S THERE

I thought they were all universal and the same lol

Thanks! :D

[fast kernel]

Its more like the higher level vendors have access to more things

The one in Eulmore has everything

But the one in Mor Dhona doesn't

[muted sun]

Nor does the one in Rhalgr's

[grizzled mist]

Could've sworn it wasn't in Eulmore, but I'll have to check again

[lime shuttle]

Wait, main stat materia doesn't do anything anymore?

[muted sun]

I actually think there is a few that are specific to Idyllshire

[lime shuttle]

I quit around 3.0

[muted sun]

Yeah, its just sub stats now

[lime shuttle]

Which is to say, I had my first kid around then ^_^

[vocal shell]

Are any other spearfishing gig’s other than the one they give you?

[grizzled mist]

I think it's just the one
http://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Fisher's_Secondary_Tool

[muted sun]

Is it called Spearfishing Gig? AFAIK that's the only one

[vocal shell]

i see thanks

[grizzled mist]

Also you were right Coco, some are exclusive to Idyllshire, so that place lives on :P

[muted sun]

Yea! I visit Idyllshire a lot, turning my poetics into soil 🙂

[grizzled mist]

I'm mostly there to save the orphanage :P

[muted sun]

Haha, that too! Gotta keep them off that pineapple pudding at all costs

[chilly fog]

is getting gear from the hunt allied seals shop worth it or is there something better i could get?

[wintry chasm]

Ironworks

ilvl 120

bought from mor dhona

no reason to get the hunt seal gear minus glamour reasons

[muted sun]

Someone might have a better answer for me, but I like to upgrade my gear with the best I can find - so it might be from duty, or currency like hunt or allegory and poetics, if you outlevel the gear itself from hunt then you might just want to use it for glamour

[wintry chasm]

thing is there are just easier and better gear to get than the hunt seal stuff

[chilly fog]

oh ok

should i even do the elite hunt btw?

[indigo orbit]

if you want seals yeah

[wintry chasm]

up to you ¯_(ツ)_/¯

nice for seals

mhm

[indigo orbit]

B ranks are usually easy

[muted sun]

crafting gear can be easy to get ahold of, and to a certain extent duty gear - what level range are you in?

[wintry chasm]

hunt seals only give level 50 gear so honestly just get ironworks if you need something for level 50

[chilly fog]

im a level 50 whm and level 45 pld, no expansions yet

[indigo orbit]

You actually the upgraded version of the stuff you get from hunt seals by doing MSQ

If you want it that badly

[wintry chasm]

Did you beat the base game yet?

Final bit being ||fighting Ultima Weapon||

[chilly fog]

nope, im still at level 35 quests

[wintry chasm]

.....I'm not going to ask how you are so high level but I will say there just isn't a point in getting level 50 gear yet

just wait till you finish the base game so you can get ironworks gear

[chilly fog]

lol alright ty

[leaden ginkgo]

guys can anyone tell me the best materia to put on my relic weapon drk and white mage

[wintry chasm]

Probably easier to go to The Balance for that

!faq balance

[floral halo]

can i join any FC on my data center or is it server based?

[marble drift]

server

[sullen pulsar]

how does mentoring work on parties. If my high lvl toon wants to party with a low level friend.

what level do we fight at

for open world

[median locust]

There's no open world sync outside of Fates

[faint flare]

It kinda doesn't work. The xp bonus you get when in a party with a mentor only works in open world and until likr lv20

Its basically useless and nothing worth considering

[median locust]

For Fates, a button appears on your quest HUD, if you click it, it syncs you down to the appropriate level

[sullen pulsar]

ok so sync only in fate, dungeon

[median locust]

and yeah, "power levelling" isn't a thing in this game

[sullen pulsar]

out and around each fight at their current lvl

[tame hearth]

Im doing the first duty finder mission at lv15 and nobody is joining, am i fucked?

[faint flare]

No

Be patient

[sullen pulsar]

no worried about PL more thinking if party leader set the sync cap, like if lower lvl invite higher lvl, that higher lvl will fight at lower lvl +x

[faint flare]

If your a dps your que times will be long

[median locust]

DPS queues can take a while, like 15-20min or more

[tame hearth]

Shouldn't there at least be other DPS joining >_>

[sullen pulsar]

Im doing the first duty finder mission at lv15 and nobody is joining, am i fucked?
@tame hearth it may tak up to 10-15 minutes if you're a DPS

[median locust]

Yes but you need a tank and a healer as well which are less popular.

[faint flare]

Thankfully roulettes exist so old dungeons do eventually pop anf aren't dead

[sullen pulsar]

yea nice to have heal friends

healer

[leaden ginkgo]

hey im a new player and recently hit level 26 im a tank class and would like to try out rogue but how can i switch classes? or is it better to create a new character?

[sullen pulsar]

healer seems to be the most in demand

[faint flare]

Go to the rogue guild.in limsa

[obsidian wren]

you can switch classes by unlocking them and equipping their weapons

[faint flare]

And pick up the rogue.quest

Then Equip the weapon

[obsidian wren]

you can play all classes on 1 character without any downside

[faint flare]

Swapped

[sullen pulsar]

hey im a new player and recently hit level 26 im a tank class and would like to try out rogue but how can i switch classes? or is it better to create a new character?
@leaden ginkgo I hope you kept your low level gears or you might be naked once you switch ;-P

[leaden ginkgo]

oh ok but do i need to start from the level 1 rogue quests again? and what about the story quests?

[faint flare]

Yes

[obsidian wren]

as you can see here, your classes each have their own levels and xp, and you gotta level them individually

[faint flare]

You level by doing hunting logs, fates, side quests etx

Story quests cant be done again for rewards

[obsidian wren]

quests are character based so those stay

[leaden ginkgo]

ah alright thanks a lot everyone

[sullen pulsar]

but you still have to do guild quest as you lvl

[leaden ginkgo]

@sullen pulsar yeah i think i sold some of it

[sullen pulsar]

@sullen pulsar yeah i think i sold some of it
@leaden ginkgo I did not my first toon and found out the hard way when I switch to leather making 😭

I did on my first toon

[paper torrent]

got to Titania for the first time. What do the glowing rune numbers mean/do?

[median locust]

The puddles with lights around them?

[paper torrent]

yeah

[median locust]

At the end of the timer there has to be someone inside of them, or else an add will spawn

1 person is fine

[paper torrent]

ohhhhh

thank you very much

[fervent silo]

so i'm a whm and i'm trying to do these wandering stairs quests to complete the msq but all the quests are for other classes...what do i do?

[median locust]

It also gives fire resistance which is necessary to have for the stack marker

[faint flare]

The puddles also give Fire resistance up for the fire stack

[median locust]

and the stack has to hit a puddle or else the ground lights on fire

@fervent silo Role quests? You might have already started the healer role quests and the new quest is somewhere else.

[strange coral]

@fervent silo You should only need to do the ones from Giott. You don't need to do all of them for MSQ.

[fervent silo]

oh ok i thought i only had to do one as the msq told me

[lime shuttle]

Along the lines of things that have changed, when did tanking get to be so easy? I don't even have to think about managing aggro anymore and it's kind of a bummer

[faint flare]

Shadowbringers expansion

It changed on launch

When tank stance changed to only provide massive aggro generation

And the 20% mitigation was roled into a passive

[median locust]

So it's basically. Do you want aggro? Then have tank stance on. Do you wanna leave it to the other tank? Take it off.

[lime shuttle]

It's just brainless now

[median locust]

Only iLv matters

Well, for battle retainers at least

For gatherers there's some breakpoints to reach in Gathering/Perception but GP doesn't matter AFAIK

!faq retainerbp

[zinc orbit]

What are the current retainer breakpoints for max yield?

Info

BTN/MIN: 2083 Gathering.
FSH: 1628 Gathering.
DoW/DoM: Item Level 428.

[median locust]

there we go

[gentle knoll]

Ive unlocked the golden saucer but did not get the aetherite.. how do I get back to the saucer?

[faint flare]

Go to the airship landing

Take the elevator to it

[gentle knoll]

ty

oh.. how do I get a ticket to the saucer?

[stable hinge]

whats the attribute priority for the anima weapons?

you dont need a ticket

just go to the airship landing in uldah

[faint flare]

the stats for the relic weapons don't matter

Cause you're.not gonna actually use it functionally

[median locust]

Anima weapons are just glamour at this point so stats don't matter. If you want a useable lv60 weapon just get Shire.

[stable hinge]

Damn

this is a whole lot of work for very little in return

[median locust]

I mean they look amazing, but yeah, it's more of a side thing you can do

[faint flare]

It was the best weapon at the end of heavensward and something to do during patch lulls

[median locust]

The completed anima is iLv275, 5 item levels higher than the Augmented Shire weapon which is like, 600 poetics

[stable hinge]

are there any plans on continuing the anime weapon questline to 80?

[faint flare]

No

[median locust]

No, there is a different relic quest line every expansion

[faint flare]

Each relic is seperate

[median locust]

Stormblood has its own relics in Eureka

and the Shadowbringers relic just started last patch

[stable hinge]

[median locust]

You don't need any previous expansion relic to start a new one

[faint flare]

Only links relic has is using a Fully completed ARR relic to skip the first step of Heavensward relic

As an option

[median locust]

Yeah but in the end that's like 50 hours of work to skip a step than takes 1 hour, lol

not worth

[calm copper]

is there an item or food that increases the gather points regen rate?

[faint flare]

Cordials

Give you a set amount of gp

!item Cordial

[zinc orbit]

**Cordial** **:** Medicine : ilvl 25

A sweet, fermented concoction that instantly restores 300 GP (350 if the cordial is of high quality).

Powered by XIVAPI

[calm copper]

oh kick ass, thanks

[faint flare]

Buy them from your grand company for seals

Not that expensive

[calm copper]

is there gear that increases the gp you get over time? that is a passive?

[median locust]

There's a skill you learn through class quests that increases your GP regen, otherwise I don't think that's a thing

[calm copper]

you know what level that is?

or what its called?

[faint flare]

70 and 80

Traita

[junior yacht]

They increase regen by 1 each

up to a grand total of 7 per tick

[median locust]

The lv70 one is from the class quests

[rose crow]

So I'd like to get back into the game, but unlike on steam there's no sale on the store. (and I've everything except shadowbringers on PC already, non-steam)
Do they not hold sales on both platforms at the same time? :s
And any idea if there will be one later on the store?

[calm copper]

oh i see, okay thanks

thanks for you help,

also, can you make pretty good gil with botany?

also, is gil that vauluable?

[rose crow]

Ty for the answer @faint flare ! :)

[faint flare]

If you know what to gather and sell yes

And Gil is the Lazy man way to get shit

Outside of housing it isnt really needed

Unless you're lazy and cant be asked to make your own stuff

Or get stuff yourself

[calm copper]

okay cool, i take it a lot of people are lazy when it comes to leveling up a new job?

[faint flare]

Yes

You'll be surprised how lazy people are

When they use market board to buy items from vendors

Opposed to actually going to said vendor

[mossy current]

Making money is taking advantage of lazy people ngl

Easy stuff like glam Prisims or materials for leves sell well occasionally

[vocal canyon]

is it still possible to get matoya's hat?

[wintry chasm]

yeah just need to buy the second volume lorebook

[mossy current]

Is there a best place to farm bicolor gemstones

Or is it just anything that lets you be level 80 for the fate

[faint flare]

Tempest for lv80 fates

And chance to spawn the super fate

Or upper half of khlosua

[median locust]

Super fates are 72 gemstones so it's nice to be around just in case, lol

[faint flare]

But that effectively cuts number of higj level fates in half since lower half is lv70

So tempest probably best bet to stay lv80

And super fate chance

[mossy current]

Alrighty, how often does the fate spawn

[faint flare]

It had like multiple day cooldown

72 hours cooldown?

[fervent silo]

@median locust @strange coral |I just did all the role quests for Giott but i still can't move on with the main story?

[median locust]

It's like every 2-3 days or something. Then you need to complete the right fate questline

[faint flare]

And then it doesn't show up on the map

[mossy current]

Yeah

[jade quartz]

Then you haven’t done all the role quests. @fervent silo

[mossy current]

Ty for the help

[jade quartz]

Are you level 80?

[fervent silo]

79

[faint flare]

You need to do the 80

Quesy

So

[jade quartz]

Then you can’t have finished the role quests

[faint flare]

Get to 80

And do the last quest from Gioot

[median locust]

The last role quest is 80 so yeah

Need to level to 80 first

[fervent silo]

this shit is not well documented

on all the wikis i did all the quests it ask me to do

[jade quartz]

What wikis

[median locust]

Giott should have a quest for you right now but it's red

If you try to pick it up it'll tell you what you're missing

Don't really need wikis here

[fervent silo]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:The_Wandering_Stairs_Quest

[jade quartz]

This is explicitly spelled out for you ingame tbh, no need for external documentation

That’s not where you should be looking dude

[fervent silo]

the main quest says do the quests from the wandering stairs and that wiki shows i've done all of them to lvl 78

this game sometimes i sware to god

[jade quartz]

The last one you did ended up in Kholusia and made it obvious that you would need to complete the next one by picking it up from there.

[median locust]

The wiki's missing info, it's not the game

[jade quartz]

The wiki isn’t even missing info

[twilit arch]

the wiki isn't missing info

hi!, im trying to enter palace of the dead floors 21-30, waited 52 minutes queue now and still waiting... is that normal? if it is, is it possible to solo those 100 floors?

That's normal, not many people actually queue for these floors

Try again at peak queue time

[jade quartz]

quest lines

[twilit arch]

yes, the role quest lines start in the wandering stairs

[fervent silo]

says complete the quest at the wondering stairs so i look them up on the wiki

[twilit arch]

doesn't mean all of the quests part of the chain are IN the wandering stairs

[jade quartz]

quest lines

[twilit arch]

https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Role_Quests

[lavish vortex]

@median locust thanks!

is it possible/doable to solo those floors?

[median locust]

Yes but it's difficult. Better to just queue for it.

[jade quartz]

Probably not for you currently. Requires high aether pool levels.

[earnest summit]

Hi there, my wife and I just started and I wanted to eventually be a Astrologist. What base class do I need to pick? Scholar?

[lavish vortex]

got it, thanks so much

[whole lagoon]

Guys i have unlocked gun breaker but i haven't reached ishgard (stuck on those grindy quest) should play gun breaker now or in shadowbringer

[jade quartz]

@earnest summit doesn’t matter, AST has no base class required

[faint flare]

@earnest summit doesn't matter what base class you are

[earnest summit]

Bet, thanks everyone

[jade quartz]

Play whatever class you want until the main story lets you enter Ishgard at level 50

[median locust]

Can pick up and level every single job in the game on a single character. So they can start as anything they want. (Though I'd recommend healer for the practice but that's not required)

[jade quartz]

Then you can unlock and switch to astrologian, which starts as a level 30 job

[earnest summit]

Scholar till I unlock Astro then, cheers!

[median locust]

Heads up: Scholar's base class, Arcanist, is a DPS until you unlock Scholar at level 30.

[jade quartz]

@whole lagoon continue the main story. You’re quite overleveled.

[earnest summit]

I'm a arcanist, the one with a book

I spoke wrong, severely new

[whole lagoon]

with gunbreaker or my PLD

[faint flare]

Whatever you enjoy more

[median locust]

Yeah Arcanist is the base class for Summoner and Scholar. At lv30 you can unlock both of these and they level together.

[faint flare]

You're already 60 on both

[whole lagoon]

well gunbreaker unlocks at 60 and my PLD is 63 still stuck at lvl 50 quest line to ishgard

yeah maybe I'll start leveling any other job

[tardy tendon]

if i'm gonna do the anima weapon with alt class, do i have to do the the quests again?

[faint flare]

Yes

[molten spruce]

can i duel other players?

[faint flare]

Yes

At the wolves den

[molten spruce]

ahhh

[faint flare]

There's a dueling circle

[molten spruce]

but like in a match or in the pier?

[faint flare]

The pier

Past the dummies

Is the dueling circle

[molten spruce]

these pvp queues are hell, no match still

been like 4 hours

[median locust]

PvP isn't that popular and it's not primetime in NA so I'm not surprised

[molten spruce]

how do i unlock gold saucer?

[median locust]

Try again at like 7-10pm

The unlock quest for the gold saucer is in front of the Uldah Aetheryte

[molten spruce]

level req?

[median locust]

15

[molten spruce]

does that give good exp?

[median locust]

No

[molten spruce]

for lowbies

[median locust]

0 exp whatsoever

[molten spruce]

damn

what does that give then

[median locust]

It's a casino where you win points for glamour, mounts, minions, etc

[molten spruce]

whats the point in doin it

huhhhhh

[median locust]

No actual "useful" things

[vagrant copper]

You can also do chocobo racing, mahjong, battle minions, .... It's fun

[molten spruce]

whats the gold saucer quest called?

[faint flare]

It could happen to you

[molten spruce]

thankss

[lavish vortex]

which floors of POTD should i spam for fast leveling?

[leaden ginkgo]

i switched classes recently, from level 26 and now im a new class and level but is it worth it to do the guild quests or shall i just continue with the main story quest?

[jade quartz]

50–60 @lavish vortex

[faint flare]

Always do job quests

Otherwise you dont get skills

[jade quartz]

@leaden ginkgo guild quests are absolutely mandatory.

[lavish vortex]

@jade quartz thanks, and at what lvl should i switch to HoH?

[leaden ginkgo]

oh i thought you just get skills from leveling up?

[jade quartz]

61; i.e. as soon as you can.

[faint flare]

Not all of them

[leaden ginkgo]

ah i see

[lavish vortex]

got it

[leaden ginkgo]

ill do the guild quests then, thanks

[white ether]

When the steam version ask me to put in my keys for the game do I put in the starter edition or the shadow bringers

[median locust]

Start with Starter

else it might say "you do not own the game this DLC is for"

[white ether]

Kk

[upper orchid]

As an off tank, should I still use tank stance?

[faint flare]

After the opening burst yes

To guarantee 2nd in aggro and so you're ready for adds spawns/Tank swap/Tank deaths

Makes it alot more braindead

Just shirk if you get close to stealing unintentionally

[upper orchid]

Thanks!

[sullen pulsar]

ill do the guild quests then, thanks
@leaden ginkgo If you're doing a single job toon and not doing daily dungeon rotations, you pretty much have to do all side quest of at some point, the story quest level will out pace you level and you end up grinding for level anyways

[jade quartz]

That’s not accurate

Sidequests are not worthwhile as a source of exp

And if you’re in a preferred server as most new players here are, you will easily outlevel the MSQ without even trying.

[sullen pulsar]

it is as I just did a single job toon with no daily dungeon rotation and minimal fate and was only level 47 when the story quest was 49

[frosty badger]

ya idk what sort of punishment i deserve for forgetting it

[jade quartz]

How long ago + were you on a preferred server

[sullen pulsar]

at least this happen on ;egacy

Legacy

[jade quartz]

Also sidequests are much worse exp than FATEs

[obsidian patio]

Legacy servers don’t mean anything anymore.

[sullen pulsar]

yes but you get armor and suck and since you out level the general area quest, lower level gear works so I have not bought a single piece of gear to 47

armor and other gear

[jade quartz]

Sidequests don’t give good gear very often

MSQ and dungeons provide the majority of what you need.

[sullen pulsar]

you don't need good gear for the first 45 lvl

whatever you get from quest is good enough

[frosty badger]

live letter next month?

[jade quartz]

At 45 you have job quest gear.

[sullen pulsar]

and some random dungeon and storyline gear is more than good enough

[jade quartz]

Yes exactly, so you don’t need sidequests.

[sullen pulsar]

yes if you're doing dungeon rotations

not if you only do story dungeon as they come up, you don't get enough drops

[jade quartz]

Yes you do

[sullen pulsar]

and if you need the gear, take the money bag

you don't need

[jade quartz]

Gear is usually worth more than the Allagan money piece.

[sullen pulsar]

no time to sell things

[jade quartz]

[obsidian patio]

[jade quartz]

You wear the gear

[sullen pulsar]

not between work and family

[jade quartz]

You’re complaining about lack of gear and also advocating not picking up free gear

This channel is not suitable for trolling.

[sullen pulsar]

no I'm not, I'm say the gear you get is more than enough for the first 45 lvl if you do side quest

so quest depending on the class, you take the wait time for dungeon vs time for side quest

[jade quartz]

Sidequests do not give much in the way of gear to justify going out of your way. MSQ provides the essentials, vendors and dungeons can get you over.

The dungeon gear will be far superior to ARR sidequest gear however.

[sullen pulsar]

not to you but I was fine with those gears

[jade quartz]

As it’s HQ equivalent.

[sullen pulsar]

can you get better, probably but you don't need them

[jade quartz]

You can buy gear cheaply from vendors much faster than doing a sidequest.

[sullen pulsar]

sometime it's good to check the market too but not going to paid 25000 for a lvl 27 healer gear

[jade quartz]

Not the market.

NPC vendors.

[sullen pulsar]

but yes if you spend enough time hunting the market, they're bargains

still cost money, I'm cheap, I don't buy gears

[jade quartz]

Gil is extremely easy to come by.

[sullen pulsar]

if you spend the time away from adventurering, not time to do any of that 😭

[median locust]

Velveteen Cowl, lv27 healer body+head, costs 2568 gil at NPC vendors

[jade quartz]

You are not making sense and this discussion isn’t helpful to anyone.

[sullen pulsar]

yes it's easy once you get pass a certain lvl

[vivid wolf]

So as a newb, i should focus on main quests and Blue quests, right?

[jade quartz]

It was also not relevant to the person you originally pinged

[sullen pulsar]

but for someone starting new not too long ago, I was cheap 😉

[jade quartz]

So let’s please stop it there.

@vivid wolf yep

[vivid wolf]

What about normal quests with a +?

[median locust]

@vivid wolf Yep, MSQ and especially your class quests. They should show up below the MSQ tracker

[jade quartz]

Those are blue quests

[faint flare]

Those unlock stuff

[jade quartz]

[vivid wolf]

Oh guess im colorblind

[jade quartz]

As opposed to

[vivid wolf]

Can blue quests be locked behind normal sidequests?

[obsidian patio]

The only example I can immediately think of is the crafting moogle beast tribe

[median locust]

I think some have been at some point but not anymore

[vagrant copper]

They're rare but yes

[obsidian patio]

@sullen pulsar new players can easily make slow but stable money at a low level by reselling certain vendor items from NPCs

[jade quartz]

MSQ also passively provides much more gil than required.

[obsidian patio]

When I made an alt for the free 15 days of subscription I managed 100k Gil in a few days by reselling orchestrion rolls and minions that I bought from vendors

[sullen pulsar]

@sullen pulsar new players can easily make slow but stable money at a low level by reselling certain vendor items from NPCs
@obsidian patio yes but someone need to show them that, I actually haveto watch a couple youtube vids to understand the econ better

[obsidian patio]

I mean, the thing about MMOs is that they usually have giant databases of knowledge scattered around

[sullen pulsar]

When I made an alt for the free 15 days of subscription I managed 100k Gil in a few days by reselling orchestrion rolls and minions that I bought from vendors
@obsidian patio for an experience player, gil is never a problem. I'm talking about someone totally new to a game and haven't watch a bunch of tutorial on youtube or on the web

[obsidian patio]

And that can easily be solved with simple googling.

[jade quartz]

Gil shouldn’t pose a problem for new players either. MSQ provides more than enough to buy vendor gear.

And from HW onward MSQ provides almost full sets of HQ gear every two levels.

[onyx kiln]

why would i ever want to hand over any of these items for 1 fieldcraft materia?

[sullen pulsar]

Gil shouldn’t pose a problem for new players either. MSQ provides more than enough to buy vendor gear.
@jade quartz but you don't know that in the beginning, you have no idea how price scales as you level so you're trying to save up in case soming good comes along

[jade quartz]

That sounds like something specific to you.

[shy hawk]

Hello sorry for the hassle and probably cause this isnt a question to ask here, but there is some Spanish Discord for FFXIV or something to talk to people in spanish? (sorry for bad english i am self taught)

[obsidian patio]

@onyx kiln because the NQ items can’t be used for the book exchange so they’re a consolation turn in

[onyx kiln]

ah

[sullen pulsar]

That sounds like something specific to you.
@jade quartz maybe as I came from old school rpg that the good gear usually cost an arm and a leg

[jade quartz]

But this isn’t “good gear”, it’s basic leveling gear.

[earnest summit]

My wife and I just started- we're on the same server any everything, but after the intro cutscene to the game (first timers), we can't seem to see eachother. Does that come a little later after a few missions or something? any help appreciated :)

[sullen pulsar]

But this isn’t “good gear”, it’s basic leveling gear.
@jade quartz but the first time through, you don't know what you'll see down the line 😭

[faint flare]

You start in a instanced area, do the story very slightly @earnest summit

[earnest summit]

Just making sure, thank you @faint flare

[jade quartz]

When I was new I used my common sense to buy gear when I needed it during ARR, without getting so low that I couldn’t teleport and stuff. I never put any particular effort into gil earning. By the time I hit 60 (level cap at the time) I had two million gil.

[sullen pulsar]

My wife and I just started- we're on the same server any everything, but after the intro cutscene to the game (first timers), we can't seem to see eachother. Does that come a little later after a few missions or something? any help appreciated :)
@earnest summit different job starts at different city

[earnest summit]

We've picked jobs that start together

[jade quartz]

@earnest summit complete the very first quest.

[earnest summit]

Thanks Takamura

[jade quartz]

You’re still in starting tutorial instanced area

[mortal root]

if i unfriend someone am i still on their friend list

[obsidian patio]

@shy hawk I found this discord over at the Balance. https://discord.gg/DqCUV9B

[jade quartz]

Yes @mortal root

[mortal root]

how do i change that

[jade quartz]

You can’t.

[mortal root]

well thats fucking stupid

[median locust]

You can't remove yourself from someone else's friend list

Very, but that's how it works

[jade quartz]

You can just blacklist them if there’s a problem

[mortal root]

i have but it's the fact that i've made it known to the person that i dont want to be so much as associated with them yet they refuse to remove me

[earnest summit]

Sounds petty and irrelivant. Just blacklist them :)

[mortal root]

T_T

[strange coral]

Transferring to another server (permanent, not world visit) will take you off their list, but that's going a little far. Character rename might also do it, but still a bit much...

[warped seal]

character rename does not take you off a friend list

[obsidian patio]

Character rename won’t do it, but they won’t be notified of who the original person was.

[hollow oriole]

Hello. I just got this game >.>

[obsidian patio]

Also for home world transferring I’m pretty sure you only get deleted off their list if you move to another datacenter entirely, not just a different server

[mortal root]

if you move to another DC it changes you to (unable to retrieve)

[earnest summit]

"I still see them walking around, this is ridiculous"

[hollow oriole]

How do Data Centers work?

[earnest summit]

It's the coastal servers I believe? You pick your region.

[faint flare]

You play with everyone on that data centre

[obsidian patio]

Datacenters are basically clusters of servers.

[faint flare]

Ques pulls from every server on that data centre

[shy hawk]

@obsidian patio Thanks you are really good people i wish you 10 times back what you do for me ❤️

[hollow oriole]

I see. Are there like, any specific server for beginners or something?

[earnest summit]

No, but you'll be a sprout!

[jade quartz]

Servers with “preferred” status

[earnest summit]

OH SWEET

[jade quartz]

Give an exp bonus to new characters created. Highly recommended.

[median locust]

Double exp on basically everything, makes a good difference (but doesn't make you level too fast or anything)

[jade quartz]

Also datacentres aren’t coastal. All North American datacentres are located in Sacramento, CA

[hollow oriole]

I see.

[jade quartz]

(And all European ones in Frankfurt, Germany)

[mortal root]

should i bother waiting for adventurer in need (dps) when i do roulettes cause msq and trials have been tank and healer for the past 4 hours
