oh ok I thought it was like you get a player on your friend list and you both get rewards for hitting milestones
I think Iโll just ask for advice in my free company
Hey when I purchase a server transfer how does that work?
Can I get into the world right away?
Or do I have to wait till its empty?
several questions first
Depends on how busy the Mogstation/back end servers are
Will I be able to play while I wait?
are you on a preferred server and is your character newly made
But usually its pretty quick
I am no longer preferred
And no you cant log im
So now I want to switch
No its over 90 days
It shouldnt take long
then what vinyl said
Like 10min tops
it does it on its own?
Submit the transfer stuff and go do other things for awhile
Everything comes with you
Except housing
You'll need to give that up
And leave your FC
Will it still be up for sale or do I need ot strip my shops first?
I believe the sales will be fine, just need to talk to the retainers again to get them back to selling
Its basically like you never interacted with them for a week
is the master culinary crafts I - V any good? or should i just skip them and get the latest one (8 I think)
is there anything in the old crafts that sells for good money or not really?
Eh kinda not really
Server price depending
Get them if you got nothing else to spend on
Easy enough to get
where do i get the latest one?
im only at heavensword - is the latest one in shadowbringer content?
Yes
can i exchange yellow scripts for them still?
Yes
should i be stacking up on yellow scripts now while i can since i wont realistically get to shadowbringers content for a while
Its like 1500 or something yellow scrips
Yellow scrips is used for alot
And you'll get plentyyyyyyyy of them
So
Are some costumes locked to specific jobs?
Yes
You cant cross glamour job gear
So no glamouring paladin gear on healers
And the likes
I guess Iโll just have to play the paladin XD
In the diadem can I just continuously turn in one item for exp?
is there a way to get yellow scripts besides turning in collectables?
Custom deliveries every week
you said ill get plenty, will i get them jsut by playing through the story?
or do i gotta do things on the side like turning incollectables to get em?
@grim adder you can since they dont change. But make sure you make the highest level turn in
Story itself doesn't give you them. Collectibles and Custom Deliveries will give you scrips
And collectibles are pretty much what you're doing when you're not making stuff to sell/use as crafters
Or if you're doing leves
Even just doing your weekly custom deliveries nets you like 2k a week
Or just about depending on who you deliver to
I have a Leatherworker Class Quest that says to craft a Chivalric Longcoat of Aiming. Can I just buy it from the MB and deliver it?
It says that crafting the item requires Leatherworker Master Tome 3. I only have tome-level 1.
Only real exceptions are the stormblood class quests since they want you to get quest specific items from quest elusive receipes which they give mats for
You buy that for like 100 yellow scrips in Idyllshire
The lv60 quest for each crafter needs the Master 3 book
who do we talk to in order to get custom deliveries quests?
quick question, we got ponies birbs and doggos, what are the gwibers called?
Dragons
thank you lol
what do i do with pieces of the accursed horde?
Heaven on high
how do we unlock idylshire? what part of main story is it
I want SE to give me a present on my character's birth day
Where do i find Skybuilders hemp? o-o
oh well now i feel tremendously dumb
few thousand hours don't know the name of the limsa district
hm I'm trying to find the hemp but I don't know which node it's in ;-;
Diadem nodes work in a loop
You gotta gather nodes to see more nodes
my bad my bad
How come tanks get cool mounts as part of their jobs and not healers?
Healers get a unicorn
If they added it to healers then they would need to do it for DPS so they dont whine literally constantly more then they do already
Probably a dumb question but there are dungeons spread I side the leveling process right?
and can higher level players tag along?
for ARR there's a dungeon every 4-ish levels after the first three
when given the choice between a piece of gear that isn't an upgrade and tallagan tin piece, which would be the better choice? (is there any use for the gear I don't need anymore other than vendoring? perhaps scrapping for materials? )

Can sell the armour piece on marketboard for possibly more gil than Allagan piece is worth
you could sell it
Varies
desynthesizing the gear requires crafters
You can hover over the gear and see what it sells for
it sells for 3 gil
the shop selling price =/= marketboard price
I understand
can you desynthesize low level gear?
Hi, i have a question regarding role action : "Addle" and "Feint". How are those things should be used in high level raid ?
can you desynthesize low level gear?
@leaden ginkgo you can, but you need to have the correct crafter
Lv30 or higher crafter of the appropriate class IIRC
Hi, i have a question regarding role action : "Addle" and "Feint". How are those things should be used in high level raid ?
@lethal schooner addle reduces magic damage, which typically works for roomwide casts, and feint for physical, which are typically tankbusters
Not that it's hard to get to lv30 anymore
coordinating usage with your party is something to work on
if you're in pugs just toss it out when you see it
most people forget its a thing
help your party take less damage
In dungeons I basically use it like another tank cooldown
help the tank out and use it whenever too
@lethal schooner addle reduces magic damage, which typically works for roomwide casts, and feint for physical, which are typically tankbusters
@little swift Ahhh ok.. so basically if the boss will cast AOE to all party > addle ; Tank buster > feint?
thats not a bad way to see it for now
nuances of what actually does what damage can be figured out when you're doing actual savage/ultimate raiding where you want to coordinate cooldowns and such
Which is easier, SMN or BLM?
IMO Black Mage is more straightforward
BLM's rotation is pretty regular compared to SMN
the amount of mobility smn has feels really good though
But if you're looking for ezmode caster then play RDM
SMN's rotation is also somewhat less rigid
pressing a wrong button or two won't throw off the whole cycle
If I cancel my sub can I get my money back
no unless you chargeback, if you chargeback, you lose your account
does standing on east/west side of tornado in e6s conflag matter?
Hi all, does anyone think shadowbringers will go on sale for windows like how it is on sale right now on Steam? I just returned playing again and want to get the new stuff but don't want to jump the gun if it goes on sale.
at what level should I start leveling my crafting or gathering class?
I mean, my main character level
All the expansions go on sale pretty regularly these days it seems, on steam and off
okay cool, it has gone on sale before then right? non-steam?
i can't wait to dive into after ARR stuff
Yup. I got them all pretty cheap around black friday and I want to say they did it again recently
at what level should I start leveling my crafting or gathering class?
@leaden ginkgo you can reasonably start whenever you want, but often times I recommend catching up to endgame first so that you have a small amount of personal capital to work with in investing for your crafts
is there a way to watch those cut scenes for the job i already lvled up??
inn room
In the quest log, if you click on the square 2 times, it will block it off from showing
though it won't have all the story
i kinda forgot the story cause of lack of play in very long time
a lot of the story happens outside of cutscenes
if you mean main story then most of it is in cutscenes
what level should i be when starting shadowbringers to just level with msq?
level to 80 i mean
Is there a way to check how far i am from hw

I asked for info on an updated Dragoon rotation/guide on reddit since everything pinned/linked is outdated...sorry to bother but where should I look for this info?
You can google the list of MSQ. The name of the quests might be spoilers so look at your own risk.
my post was deleted*
You can look at the balance discord. Its the theorycrafting/guides hub for ffxiv. Get the dragoon role and look through their resources. Can also ask dragoon questions there.
!faq balance
I've been through there, I just remember reddit having a bunch of dope rotations put into ffxivrotations that was super easy to use. I'll try Balance again tho. ty
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
did a shit ton of quest, then figures out im only on deseperatr times second on the list :/
Do we get 14 free days if somebody recruits someone?
recruiting someone doesn't give time
Ok thank you
hey I'm having a little trouble finding where "pan camera" is under keybinds, I think I accidently changed it awhile back. I want to do some angles in gpose ;-;
what do you get for your birthday in this game?
Wtf happened to alphinauds sister anyways
That's fore #archived-lore-spoilers I think
@tulip plover she becomes a main character after HW
in ARR she's kind of doing her own thing
All of my friends are on a different server, and they wanted me to transfer and even gave me the money to do so. But I read that you can't transfer if you signed a company petition and I've done that for some FC that I'm not even in that's comprised of a bunch of role players, so does anyone know if this means I wouldn't be able to transfer?
you mean you signed a petition to create an fc?
Yeah, that
and then you left the fc?
Yes
then you should be able to transfer
Then it looks like its time to pack up my apartment. Ty for the help!
Is the stuff before dreams of ice important
Im really trying to slog through this shiz

So how hard is BLM
I guess it depends on you
Honestly i find monk easy and fun but some people hate the positionals and rotation
black mage has no positionals
!faq contentunlock
<-
depends on the achievement
Cuz i want the behemoth mount
if you beat ARR you should have enough
There's a "Craft 50 level 1-10 items" and "Craft 300 level 11-20 items" for every crafting class, you can bang all of those out in one sitting using Quick Synth
Yea i might have to do that once i finish burning through fucking a slog reborn
Is the enemy list importang
Important
it's fairly important
shows you which enemies have the most/least health in case you need to switch targets
Cuz i need to find a better place for my ehancment info
When leveling a fresh character, is it worth spending any time on a crafting proffesion for gear. Or should I just keep doing the "main quests" and class quests? Seems to give me enough exp to to not "fall behind"
also I heard about an exp ring at lvl 15?
you also probably want to know if you've lost aggro (as tank) or gained aggro (as non-tank) because that can be a big deal
does the command squadron mission count as a dungeon for the duty roulette?
the main scenario quest will give you most of the gear you need for your first class
You won't need to craft your own gear. If crafting/gathering in MMOs is enjoyable for you, you can start it as early as you like, but it'll never be a necessity
so there's no reason to worry about crafting gear for yourself, unless you really want to do crafters
@nova umbra they do
and you can earn the XP ring by doing the
quests at level 15. Look for an NPC named "The Smith"
about the place of dead weapons, anyone knows how to get them? I google it but the info is old/kinda confusing
you can, but crafting/gathering isn't really like wow's at all
they are very much their own classes
with their own sets of skills, and gear
Yeah I understand that
so its quite a bit more of an investment
Earning money is mostly for housing and housing is a pretty big damn convenience
You can have stores in there
What about that "Exp bonus ring" is there one?
generally, recommend waiting until you're max level to work on them since msq gives you a decent chunk of gil to work with, plus you'll have a bunch of things already unlocked or able to be easily unlocked to make leveling them easier
yes, its from the hall of novices. the final exercise gives it
okay, so I should do that quest line when i reach 15?
Keep on msqing until you die
yes, it is very strongly recommended to do the hall of novices when you're introduced to it
Oh yea that
since the gear it gives is pretty good for that level and will last you a decent bit
Its very helpful yes
Awesome, and what is Msqing?
Main scenario quest
Just keep doing those, job quests every 5 levels
I mostly ignore quests that seems out of my way now, And I remember doing alot of fates etc back in the days
I guess its the effect of increasing the max level, making it easier to catch up
Yea the main objective is to get to heavens ward
Like i am
Im in post arr and its a slog but i heard its very much worth it
Heavensward won't be as good if you're not invested in the story though
which is why people are often discouraged from skipping/speeding through ARR without reading anything
I'm pretty much speeding it through, but it doesnt even feel like any story has started this early yet xD
a lot of the 1-50 story is world building
Trust me its ALL important
the 1-15 story is pretty inconsequential by design, since it's different for each starting city
and thus you only get to see 1 out of the 3 stories
Just read honestly they really put work into making the world and characters feel important
They did a good job too
but it automatically explodes though
Idk i dont play mechanist yet
its good to have on your hotbar for those niche situations when you do want to manually explode it
use it if you have to reposition your turret in dungeons for example
like the boss going invuln
I was told that thereโs a exp ring or earring in the game if you get all the expansions
Is that true?
I got the game on steam is there nothing like that?
Preorder means ordering them before release...
There's a ring that gives bonus exp up to level 30 by completing the hall of novice
But yeah, the earrings are unavailable
Whereโs hall of novice?
Inn in the starting citiea
MSQ leads you there just before your first dungeon
Oh ok
Look for an NPC with sprout icon on their head
You have to talk to The Smith
Whereโs the delivery moolge in limsa lomosa
Upper floor
Upper level, all the way at the bottom
Thanks for the help
aftcastle is the closest aetheryte
its southwest of that aetheryte up the stairs
next to the calamity salvager

what's army's ethos
Bards get 3 songs with 30s duration and 80s cooldown, so they need to cut one short by 10s
Army's Ethos makes it a no-brainer to make Paeon the one that you cut short, because you'll continue to get its effect after you end it early
that's it?
yup
actually it looks like I had it wrong. Army's Muse is the one you get if you cut it short, Army's Ethos is the one you get if you let it expire without signing another song
regardless, it's not something to worry about. It's kind of an overdesigned set of abilities
army's ethos grants army's muse
why can't they just word it as "if army's paeon ends, grants a % increase"
depending on repertoire
ยฏ_(ใ)_/ยฏ
Is there any way to expand the glamour dresser? Or is 400 hard cap ๐ฆ
Why would they limit us ๐
you also want your song rotation to align with your other cooldowns like raging strikes
no way to expand at this time
400 is the hard cap at this point in time
and they limit because spaghetti code/limitations
they actually gave us more slots at the start of shadowbringers
๐ฅบ
character data is stupid large in this game
another bard question, since sidewinder is on a 60s cd, should I just use it on cd?
yup
ya
So no mogstation refunds whatsoever?
I can't imagine they give refunds for anything other than like... the shop bugged out and charged you 10 times
yeah
Yeah but thereโs always that one moment when your brain shuts off
One time I try gifting someone a game so we could both play and I accidentally bought it again
Thatโs why refunds are handy I guess
Accidental purchases
contact support
guys whats dragoon main stat?
strength
Strength
alright
Where do you get strength materia from, other than the MB?
Strength materia no longer functions and can't be obtained, there is only materia for substats
But I see strength and dexterity materia on the MB
Even if you manage to buy it, it won't ddo anything
people who played before they removed it probably listed it
It didn't disappear from everyone's inventory, it just stopped working
So you buy it, attach it, and it does nothing?
correct
even when it had actual stats, it was basically useless
as main stats are capped on gear (outside of NQ but you don't want to be using NQ gear anyway)
Yeah, the only classes that could make use of main stat materia were tanks melding Str to their accessories
and it made such an enormous difference that it was like it only existed to punish people who didn't know about it
So I just finish Realm Reborn but haven't level a Disciples of Hand or Land class yet... I know I suck. ๐ฆ
Which class would you guys recommend me starting? BTW I'm a BLM.. dunno if its matters but I'd like my 1st two craft and gather class to benefit BLM. Thank you!!
its strongly recommended to level all of the crafters together so you don't flood your inventory with random gear and such. also the crafters kinda work together and share intermediate materials or make them for each other
the only crafter that doesn't really do that is culinarian, and to a less extent alchemist, which still does do a little with the other crafters
Hmm, would you recommend I level them all up as I go? Like around the same level?
i'd moreso recommend you finish the msq first, and get to 80
but if you were to level them, i'd keep the gatherers about 5 levels above them
so that you can access the materials and save yourself a bit of gil
but also finishing msq will let you bank up a sizable amount of capital
Alright, I'll focus getting to 80 1st then.
Is there a โBackโ button for dialogue text on side quest text boxes? Or is it lost forever
Lost if you accidentally click next too early
if you haven't logged out, the event tab in your chat logs usually has at least some of it
i heard a story about a new player who was a miqo'te that went around hugging people
how common is it for random people to hug each other
not common at all
i wish people would pet miqo'te randomly
i know people are really friendly in this game
because rules are stricter than most online games and the paywall
How do i make macros for emotes
(i want to add text)
Open up the Macro menu, type the emote and the text in the window on the right
/s Hello!```
Ok thx
(Adding โmotionโ after an emote prevents it from putting an emote mention in chat)
Oh ic
you have to go kill at thing outside with it @ancient rain
take it out and go kill a thing. if its above rank 10 it needs a thavnairian onion to rank it up
you can't raise their level inside of the chocobo so once they max out you have to take them out, kill something with them and then you can put them back in to continue feeding/training
I always see people make the text blue as in emote text how do i do that?
/em <insert message here>
Oh ok thx
afaik anything works as long as it gives exp to the chocobo?
Worse case you can just go find a fate to quickly level sync
kill 1 thing
and bam you're done
^
I be seeing people running around in summer clothes is that from the moogle shop?
Probably? Depends on what exactly you mean by summer clothes
It was like a blue blouse, sunglasses and short tan pants
Blouse? Mightโve been uhh whatโs it called
Endless Summer Attire
!iglam summer indigo shirt
Do you have to stand still in between Titania and the person with the electric tether for a bit before you get it? Or can you just run through and get it immediately?
you just have to break the connection between the tethered person and titania
Running through should be sufficient
how do i get estiniens dragoon lance?
Not sure if I have to wait for a bit, or if its because I'm a lalafell and its making it difficult to grab tethers
this can be a bit server tick/ping dependent but runnint throughshould be okay
Race has no bearing on it
your race has nothing to do with it
everyone has the same hitbox
its like a dot in the center of their character
Hm... must be a ping thing
Running back and forth across the tether and just can't get it lol
Can be iffy with latency yes
how do i get estiniens dragoon lance?
I pass tethers to the others by backing up, not running through the person supposed to take the tether, but back up for the other person to grab the tether and be safe from the explosion
(He is seen with a different-looking lance at another point)
Arr relic weapon I think
That is the level 50 Dragoon relic
how do i get relics
oh god
If youโve not unlocked a relic before, accept the quest โThe Weaponsmith of Legendโ in Vesper Bay
Thatโs not true, a base relic like this takes just an hour or so.
Oh, just the base
ive seen a lvl 52 dragoon with lvl 80 i420 gear
Weaponsmith of Legend will lead you to Gerolt in North Shroud, from whom you can accept the quest โA Relic Rebornโ
how is this possible?
Synced down probably
@molten spruce must have been in a dungeon, they were a level 80 level synced to the dungeon
@grim adder I canโt find it in mog shop
no, he was speaking with ser alberic
Then in a fate or something.
hmm
!iglam summer indigo shirt
Was it this? @white ether
Well yeah but isnโt it a costume set?
Nope
That is a crafted item made by weavers
im in vesper bay, who is the quest giver?
It is crafted
Not Mogstation
ooo then I messed up my bad ;-;
Oh
You can buy it from the marketboard
Off the top of your head how much do they charge?
Nedrick Ironheart @molten spruce
If he does not have it, then either you have not completed the main scenario quest โThe Ultimate Weaponโ (i.e. seen the credits roll for A Realm Reborn)
i have not
im about to go to castrum meridianum or sum like that
2 quests away
Then youโre extremely close
ok
Almost there
great ๐
cause my weapon looks like a fork
doesnt match my cool ass wyrm armor
once i hit lvl80, can 5 million gold get me max ilvl gear?
are all party wide AoEs magic damage or are some physical?
Does black mage become more difficult after realm reborn?
is palace of the dead still good for leveling
I don't think there's any class that doesn't become more difficult past level 50
other than perhaps WHM
@hollow horizon yes
Cause I was thinking of buying the expansion and do heavensward in red mage
any way i can disable the right click dropdown thing on other players?
After I buy arr
this is so annoying, i keep targeting people
whats the fastest normal difficulty alexander raid?
So at level 35 scholar at dungeons you use succor for aoe heal but when do you use whispering dawn
And Adlo before party goes
you have it backwards
Adlo then whispering dawn then succor?
How often do you use succor at 35
Is palace of the dead supposed to be infuriating?
whenever you're out of whispering dawn i guess
In hellsโ kier normal mode, specifically the โPhoenix says 2.0โ there are 2 sets of 4 symbols that indicate the pattern regarding which corresponding symbol on the ground will get exploded, and also dependent on the movement of the Phoenix (clockwise, counter clockwise) can a symbol be blasted more than once in the whole cast of that ability?
yes
okay, thank you
there should be a pattern where it just repeats a blast on 2 platforms on south and north
Are there any weapons from the nier raids?
no
no
@slate crow what are you having trouble with?
Ok thx
how do you transfer money to your alts?
with a 3rd person
pass it on to someone first, and then they pass it to your alt
The most convenient way is with a free company chest or by listing items on the marketboard to buy
Just doing it. I died on floor 9. Suddenly awakened by enemies.
Are you trying to solo?
@obsidian patio are you busy?
Iโm on the first duty dungeon in post stormblood and no ones joining, is there a way to do it by myself?
You cant add alts ingame(as friend)
@noble tusk not home. :/
Maybe through an FC though?
@worldly quail you can use the undersize feature but unless youโre a level 80 tank/healer/red mage you probably canโt solo it.
also how do you get more glamor prisms?
Craft them, grand company, or marketboard.
@obsidian patio ah thanks, Iโll look into party finder maybe then
Anyone on Gilgamesh that isn't busy wouldn't mind helping me transfer money?
Just starded few days ago. Is it worth to get Ironworks Armor Sets?
It's worth
although it's probably not worthwhile to specifically grind for Poetics so that you can get it all
just spend them as you get them
@obsidian patio do you know anyone that isn't busy on gilgamesh that wouldn't mind helping me transfer money real quick?
Nope
๐ฆ
does anyone know what plugin this is ? its like a music sheet and skill goes through it, I saw it in a video but have no clue what it is

does transferring character reset keybinds?
Shouldn't do @acoustic island
Doing it solo is only for the challenge
Idk why you are soloing it xD @slate crow
@grave glade seems like that's just a well-editted piece rather than a rotation teaching add-on
any way i can disable touchpad interactions on ps4? that thing is super annoying in ff14, its too sensitive
the lightest touch will skip a cutscene
i see, I also saw it in desperius video so my initial impression was a plugin
thanks for clarifying
Preparatory Touch says additional effect Increases Inner Quiet by one
Does that mean it increases by 2 since it adds quality as well?
Adds 2stacks yes
I'm curious how I can use that...
why cant i use true north in floors 91-100 in potd if its a lvl 50 skill?
Use it with manipulation/waste not for a spicy 5 durability cost quality increase @dense pier
Oh, manipulation prevents all durability loss?
No
I haven't gotten manipulation yet. Trying to get all my DoH to 70 then go back and do all the quests with scrip gear
oh I see
Manipulation will apply and return durability after a step has been completed
Yes
That's pretty spicy, but also expensive
Yup quite a costly cp combo
Well I mean if I'm already doing waste not anyways
it'd just be the manip
basic touch is 36 for 200%, 20 durability and prep is 40 with same effect
but with that combo it'd let me build up quality really quick so I can focus on finishing the craft
@molten spruce afaik all mobs in potd have directionless target rings. Positionals aren't needed. Thus removing the need to use of true north?
I've never gone in as a melee so I'm not too sure if that's the case
yes, potd mobs have a full target ring so you will always get positional bonuses on them
new player here, what should I look for in free companies?
I get an invitation every so and then, but I don't really know what's and if I can just find another later
new player here as well, I just randomly accepted to join a free company, a lot of helpful veterans in my case
I see
Free companies are largely just social groupings
What are some places with a training dummy?
You're welcome to hop around and find your best fit
@rare karma bentbranch meadows. Summerford farms. Right outside uldah in western thanalan
These are lv1 dummies
There are different levels of dummy?is it just that they take less damage?
Level of a dummy just impacts if you can hit it or not
If the dummy is higher level than you
You can miss
Oh ok
how much cast time does spell speed reduce per 1000 points?
Depends on your level I think
Max level at the moment
!faq stats
thank you
What level can you be gun breaker
you need a level 60
You canโt grab it off rip?
so 1000 spell speed would only reduce the cast time of glare by 0.06, wouldnโt having more piety in its place better? or direct hit rate if I canโt meld anymore C-hit and determination?
I just realized with Preparatory Touch, you're missing out on the inner focus stack quality increase in between 2 basic touch's
More piety is mostly for comfort with mana
Not a necessity if you have enough
Hitting an sks tier helps you align your burst phases and raid buffs
Is there any guides for red mages at lvl 50 cause all the YouTube ones like show the full tool set from what I can find. Just want to know how to work RDM from stock 50
@dense pier that's one way to consider it. Its a tradeoff so you can get to 11 stacks of inner quiet more quickly
Where do I go to ask how far percentage wise I am in an expansion story? Here or elsewhere? No spoiler, just a general idea of how far.
You can look up the quest list if you're interested
Its usually bunched into level ranges/patches@slate crow
!faq 50rdm
Or just ask here with spoiler tags
That works too ^
Or...whatever
@hazy flint the image above
I just got to ||Tailfeather with Iceheart and am going to where the Gnath are or something||
Oh
Not far into it yet
Pretty solid like, 33% in the Heavensward base game
22% ish counting patches?
Do all new members in an FC get the lowest rank?
By default yes I'm pretty sure
You can make a rank that's lower but I'm pretty sure it assigns the default lowest rank so be careful with permission settings
do i have to do the trial or what's going on here?
yep, exactly
you'll have to progress the main story to unlock and complete the trial
dw i have it
hey guys just got my gunbreaker job class had a question like pld does gun breaker get iron will for enmity?
@leaden ginkgo I recommend finding a striking dummy, remove all skills off your hotbar, then add them back one by one while reading tooltip and using them on the dummy.
It helps you organize the hotbar (which you should be doing anyway) and simulate "leveling up" the job
Does leveling go quicker after you've already maxed out 1 class?
yes
You don't need to max out btw
for combat jobs you have the armoury bonus
Yup
thank you for the info
That's what people do
Quick question cause im to lazy to log in. How much is a name change? 10?
!faq armoryexp
!faq armouryexp
'How do I get the bonus experience from the Armoury?'
As long as you're playing a Disciple of War or a Disciple of Magic class that's a lower level than your highest level class then you're able to benefit from the bonus experience. You do not need to have a class at level 80 for the bonus to be active.
'How much is the bonus experience?'
You get +100% experience from levels 1 to 69, which then reduces to +50% for level 70 to 79. The difference in level between your current class and highest class does not change the amount of experience you get.
Cool, Tho I remember class skills going cross classes. when was that removed? I thought that concept was really cool
@twilit arch thanks you're awesome
Aah okay
Tank no longer need to level Gladiator to lvl 40+ to get Provoke
Hehe my old char was both a paladin 50 and a warrior 50 ๐
Sadly lost that account ๐ข
The account page/home page is so damn diffucult to use and understand that i just couldn't be bothered... It was hard enough making a new account
does FF14 allow soloing of dungeons I'm leveled past?
yes
click on the cogwheel at the top of the duty finder and select 'undersized party'
then queue as normal
Is there any incentive to do so?
that said though, you cannot unsync current expansion content
what hairstyle is this?
https://ffxiv.eorzeacollection.com/glamour/34521/cherries-heal-all-wounds
you do the instance faster, while getting chest drops
Fair; I just wanted to hit Halatali..
Btw can you unlock better customization options later in the game for like armors etc? and maybe hairstyles/facial hair and stuff like that
sweeet. Danke @twilit arch
Can you change apperance on armor?
!faq glamour
'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'
Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.
'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'
Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.
Tldr: yes, but you can only make armors look like stuff you can wear
So if you have a tank armor, then you can only make it look like other tank armors
Do I need to have a token every time I change an armor piece?
Yes
yeah but theyre pretty ez to get
pretty cheap on the market board from what i remember
durn filtered water locked behind rep ๐
is there a faq about grand companies?
!faq grandcompany
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.
fastest dungeon with best exp to grind from 60 to 73?
whatever the highest one is that's not 50/60/70
if you're dps you're better off doing HoH floors 21-30 from 61 to 71
59, 61, 63, 65, 67, 69, 71, 73

Do your roulette for daily exp Bonus too:
MSQ, Leveling, Alliance roulette has great bonus exp.
Trials and raids are fine too.
ironworks
ok ty
it has a higher item level
while leveling generally ilvl is king
Physical damage stat is the most important one
ok ty
secondary stats aren't significant enough to make it worth using lower ilvl
And higher ilvl pretty much always has the most phys damage
ty all
another question
my armory chest is full
not familiar what to do with pinks, white, blues etc
If you don't think you're gonna use it soon you might as well drop it
starting to fill my inven
Whites are easiest to replace
But also the worst
Since they generally have lower ilvl
assuming you're sergeant second class
makes sense
you can turn in pinks/greens/blues for grand company seals
oh ok
no im corporal unfortauntely cause hunting logs is long lol
but ill remember that
just dont wanna sell anything
and regret it later
Most white gear can be bought from npc vendors
ok
Or crafted
they can be turned into your GC for GC seals
Personally, if i don't have any direct plans to level a class that uses it i tend to get rid of it, with the exception of blue tomestone gear
that too
blue tomesotne gear is ironworks right
exclusive to ironworks? or are all tomestone gear blue
All are
ty
I guess I can always buy ironworks if I plan to level another class
instead of saving these gears
Yeah
Ironworks should be enough up to lv 57 dungeons if you augment it
At that point it's worth replacing it with drops from the 57 dung
oh ok
ideally should be replacing around 55
yeah
55 dung has the same ilvl right?
no
Or was that 53
with dungeon drops ok
no
53 does
Ah okay, my bad
augmented poetics gear will last you until 55/65/75, at which point the dungeon gear will be better
ok will try to remember that lol
however dps are a little more lenient bc it can last all the way until the next set of poetics gear
it just matters a lot more for tanks and healers
oh really
if i change the date of my wedding will i have to give out invites again??
Tanks and healers are a lot more reliant on it for survival but the bonus damage for dps makes runs still a lot quicker
however dps are a little more lenient bc it can last all the way until the next set of poetics gear
it just matters a lot more for tanks and healers
Please no use ironworks gear for X9 level dungeons
59/69/79
oh
you can go for 57/67/77 just fine but rly, the dungeon gear you get will help a lot anyway
if i change the date of my wedding will i have to give out invites again
I think it just automatically updates?
ok
oh ok epic
Can always ask someone what their invite says and see if it updated Aridius
best to double check yeah
nope, its straight forward
ok
the lvl of the dungeon = lv of the gear
this mmo good lol
uh
2 more questions I think
all weapons gold?
icon
and armor silver?
yep
lol
oh no
but im selling the pinks blues and stuff
not on market since they are probably garbage
selling to npc
Oh at your grand company?
no in revenent tolll was speking to ironworks girl
Can't sell pinks and most blues anyway on the market board
cant sell to her
oh you cant
ok
andn i cant exchange for seals cause in more second class
i need to do hunting logs
seems long lol
It's not that long
There's some thats in Cutters cry
You could unsync that probably and do it in 5 minutes
i did cry many times
With roulettes you'll run them eventually
my huinting log never changed
Cutter cry would be the later sections of the hunting log
You can
Yes
what do i lose
Don't get XP and stuff though
ok
It makes it quicker
so to help people?
To clear things rapidly for loot from chests
I'd never help someone through a dungeon with unsync since they get no xp and dungeons aren't hard anyway
like for event
Or in this case, clear stuff rapidly for hunting.logs
No
You only get chest loot when unsynced
Nothing else
ok
You get the bonus reward
I solo'd some coils and alexander and I got poetics for clearing them for the first time
For the first time clear
Right the first time bonus reward
Does that mean that doing dungeons as a BLU doesn't yield mob drops or xp
Since they can only run them unsynced
No, they can run them with a premade party
^
^ synced
Just need to make your own party
either way, BLU gets much more experience from overworld monsters than dungeons
if your intentions were leveling
Blue is incentivised to do it synced for guaranteed learn rates
where can i find a list of all the to do weeklies?
unsycned is undersized aprty right
yep
nice
and spiritbonding
just noticed it while selling, use more gives higher spiritbond
what good is that for
at 100% spiritbond you can extract materia from the item
Which then resets it back to 1%
The game warns you if you try to vend something that has 100% spiritbond
right-click the item
right click and press this
so should I be extracitng everytime once it hits 100
yeah, no reason not to
ok
unless you're like me and got barely any inventory space
It's free materia although lower grade stuff isn't really very useful these days
yeah it doesn't sell for a lot
oh lol
sometimes they can randomly be worth an ok amount since the ARR relic uses Grade 1-4 materia
but i guess it's free money either way
You have to dismount to do most things
if you got your crafters leveled yeah
If you level craftera
and you need to have dark matter in your inv
If you have a crafter and you have the right dark matter
to use on it
Crafters need to be within 10 levels of the item to repair it
i see
So need lv70 to repair lv80 gear
well u can be higher
doesnt seem hard to go the mendor though
You can repair in instances
yeah
self-repairing has the added benefit of being able to go up to 199% durability
emergency
And can go over 100% durability
As self repair flat adds 100%
ok nvm
Durability cap is 199%
it's good, but you can manage without
you need to do the side quest "Forging the Spirit"
ahh
its in central thanalan
ok
Usually you'd pick it up when you have to go there for the main scenario
High quality
For equipment, potions, and food, that means it has better stats
for crafting materials that makes them give a boost to crafting an item to make it easier to make it high-quality.
Hey guys, so i have a very powerful pc and i keep recieving this after 10 minutes of play time and the game crashes. It happens when i use dx9 aswell, and if i put my refresh rate to 60. Any ideas, or should i ask somewhere else?
Easier to ask the nerds in #technology-discussion
anywas ty ๐
@nova karma
There are two kinds of hunting logs. One is personal, it doesn't really matter unless you're leveling an alt job and desperate for XP. The other is the grand company hunting log, which is optional, but required if you want to really progress in your grand company
i see ty
ok, I made it to the point of not dying anymore in any eden normal fight. Should I go ahead and try savage? or do I play extreme trials for a bit to get the hang of big mechanics?
