you can't really start as astrologian
@lavish vortex press option to open the menu, 2nd column from the left, one of them should be Journal
whm will teach you some stuff about healing first because it's the only healer you can start with
so it's best to go that
Yes
or....
If you want to reuse it in the future
White mage is fun - I started it and I'm currently @ lvl 62.
You'll need to keep it around
if the PF says practice, what happens if you clear it
If i sold it, can i get it back
But I haven't tried tank yet 🙂
Depends on the item
like for savage
Most stuff you can get back
or are there similar items that have the same look
there are items that share models as well
Usually there are, but they come in small difference
and most items are readily reobtainable
@warped nest yeah, it’s empty...🥺
Some variation can't be dyed
If you have to keep all glamour pieces physically, do we get lots of storage space?
Post the question again, see if other players can help you with that
okay so it’s a separate inventory
!faq glamourdresser
"What is the Glamour Dresser?"
The Glamour Dresser allows you to glamour an entire set of equipment at once when in a city or town. You can find the dresser in your inn room at any of the Adventurer's guilds.
"How do I use it?"
In order to use the Glamour Dresser you need to first put the items you want to use for glamour inside of it. This requires a one-time cost of one Glamour Prism per item. You're able to safely take out the items, but you'll need to pay another Glamour Prism to put it back into the Dresser. After you have put in the glamour items you want to use for your set you'll want to click on "Edit Glamour Plates".
When the plate window opens up you can select the stored glamours you have onto the slots of the plate to create the set you desire. Once you're satisfied with your glamour click on "Save". You can now apply your Glamour Plate by accessing the Character menu, clicking the Glamour Plate button, and choosing the Plate that you have made.
Hi! Where in the journal can I view this! I can’t find it
Pressing triangle in the journal should allow you to see quests you have completed
alright thanks for the answers, i think ill focus on leveling first than looking good

I am not familiar with this quest line tbh
Yeah, but since they are quests that I cannot complete due to not meeting requirements... I can’t find them
The specific case is the next job quest for samurai...
if you already unlocked samurai then level up
But then that message is wrong? How can I review the subsequent quest?
Is there a way I can participate in the ongoing events as a newish player? (my character is level 12)
Is there a way I can participate in the ongoing events as a newish player? (my character is level 12)
@leaden ginkgo depending on the requirement of the event you usually can participate
Yeah, @remote lintel that’s another way, I just wanted to see if there was a way to check in in game in the journal, as the game suggests... but I think it’s like a bug of incorrect
Do you guys have any "guild" recommendations for new players
the quest begins in ul'dah so if you're not able to access that city you'll have to play a tad more to do it
So I’ll have to google it every no and then, no that it’s a problem haha thanks!!
@remote lintel ill take u up on that offer @_@
im in siren tho
and idk what world thats in
siren is Aether
But then I already met the requirements, that’s why it shows up jaja
ah thanks
i'm not the leader
So basically I just run the fates of the event and I get tokens to exchange for prizes?
this one is just quest completion gives it to you
and the last item is vendor purchased
Is this healthy

you're welcome to play as long as you want

just make sure you get up and circulate blood through your legs
wait the event is going on right now
ok, I don't really like the hat, but I suppose it's a one time event
Can you dye each part of the costume sets at the mog station separately?
if it's dyeable yes
each part as in individual pieces
some mog items aren't dyeable for whatever infernal reason
not all equippable items can be dyeable
ive been lied to, DECEIT
dyeable items have a clear circle on the corner of their icon
oh, i thought those were just damage indicators
wat
If you hover the item on the store page, the link under Purchase Includes, the popup will include a bit that says dyable: yes or not under the repairs section
can you favorite items so you dont accidentally sell gear you wanna use as a mog later
no
what a cruel world 
You can place them in the Glamour Dresser as storage
^
i cant repair any of my gear
Are there glamour contests as a side thing?
whys that
theres a repair guy?!

Thats only if you level crafters
repair people are the hammer icons on the map
that requires crafters
There's repair NPCs marked on the map
can someone have both scholar and summoner?
yes
Yes
how
You can be everything
you have separate classes?
Where can I repair my gear then
Repair npcs marked on map
how much is the werewolf set on mog?
when you swap class, does all your glamour/gear change as well? Or do you have to manually re equip the gear?
I mean job
if you made a gear set and linked it to a glamour plate it auto equips gear
and applies glam
If your class can’t equip the current gear it’s unequipped
The solution is gear sets as just mentioned
like if you were a samurai you would equip all your sam gear and save it as a gear set and link it to glamour plate 5 or whatever
then you would equip all your white mage gear and save as gear set and link it
then you can switch between the 2 at the click of a button
ok got it. That’s a life saver lol
You can have a gear set for every class and then some
Is it possible to use my mount before level 20 main story quest?
No
You need to complete the quest “My Little Chocobo” to use a mount
to unlock mounts
Even if you have the preorder ones already they don’t work until you unlock the chocobo
I think that quest is gonna become mandatory in the future
yeah, I wondered because I have my preorder mount but wasn't able to use it
It’s kinda like how you have to buy Riding training in WoW
Only instead of money you buy the license with company seals which are super easy to get
Is there an auto target enemy macro or its better to just tab target
Tab
did they increase prices on mog?
no?
you can change the currency
alright!
so free companies have "company chests" to store items, but why would you store items? So that you dont lose them on battles or raids or whatever?
so that stuff for the FC doesnt take up space in your retainer?
and so that other people can take stuff they need
how do i get princess trout?
right I see. but can you lose your gear when battling or raiding or something?
No
It can break bur you'll stilk have it
@molten spruce
do i need to join a guild for fishing?
you join the fishing guild to unlock fishing
anyone know where you get the king slime hat from the new event? I only got the minion and the yellow hat right from finishing the quest
fishermen guild doesnt have a supplier?
they supply bait
as for making my character to look better, should I look into glamour dresser thing or purchasing gear that looks good?
both if you can afford it
you talking about gills or real money?
either?
ah I thought it was for customizing gear or something lol hmm
it's for making plates
Nope, just stores stuff and alloes you to make presets with said stored items
Guys does anyone remember where the underwater tunnel is for the quest The Resont?
Resonant*
I see a tunnel with snowflakes is that where I’m supposed to go?
Highly likely if i recall
should I be running guild leves on my new (main) character?
for what
I don't know, it's the first leve quest
But I’m very confused because I get to a certain point and there’s a no way to get through the tunnel
so I guess field/trade leves are the only useful ones later on then
Does anyone remember where the underwater tunnel is in the mission for stormblood?
what button is to hide all UI on your screen? forgot
scroll lock
thanks
Thats the 2nd boss/
Dont let the NPC in the centre die
Walk into the orbs summoned from the portals to stop them going to the npc
And heal the npc if they take damage
Otherwise smack the thing
We all died at once.
normal mode yes

@steel wedge in the lochs? Should be around x26, y28
If you mean the one that leads to the other Aetheryte
What duty are you trying to enter?
sastasha
If you’re DPS then waiting is expected to happen, queue times are generally around 10-20 minutes depending on the dungeon
it automatically matchmakes you
I feel like I may just not understand Party Finder. Have been told a bunch it’s the best way to run old content, unsync wait for folks to join. But whenever I look in PF, even prime time, it’s very sparse and all I see are people selling stuff and RP.
did you change the tab
What is the AoE which is a very dark circle with horn-like things rising up around the perimeter?
thanks!
where do i pick up lvl 52 dragoon job quest?
is there a priority list on which is best to finish leveling first for doh/dol
which ones are useless for progression
level all crafters together
you can ignore both and be fine, but they print gil so do em
culinarian can be leveled separately
crafting here is fun, eso crafting is boring and simple af
@molten spruce Coerthas Central Highlands from Alberic at the observatory
in the same spot?
is there a qol level guide for crafts
bc i got a notif saying i could do the next job quest but he isnt giving me a quest
do i need to complete post ARR quests?
Yes
ahhhh thats why
You cant do lv50+ job quests without being in heavensward
Each expansion job quest set are locked to those expansion stories
is postARR fillers? or should i read?
ok
is it possible to re-do the sb dungeons with the trust thingy?
or just a one time thing
Shadowbringers dungeons yes
Should I buy gear
Only the story dungeons
how do you do it? cant find in df
its a separate menu
You open the Trust window
the msq gives you enough gear
You will need to level your trusts up
oh no
You get ||Yshtola, ryne, thancred, alphinaud, alisae and Urianger||
Each level seperately
You cant use ||Exarch or Lyna||
Where can I find a good updated ps4 hotbar setup for SMN?
Images Bahamut Prime Bahamut Emerges Bahamut & Dalamud Bahamut & Dalamud wide Bahamut & Yoshida
Do we need to finish the role quests in the crystarium?
You need to finish 1 role quest line for the story
Otherwise you wont br able to finish Shadowbringers base story
You'll be locked
ooo ok
It happens at lv79 and you need to be 80 to finish the role quests
tyty!
how do you get the king slime hat
ty
quick qn...if your server has completed ishgard's restoration, does it mean we will no longer be able to do the turn ins and collect scrips and level up crafting?
ok tks!
where do i buy fish bait?
Merchants
the shop icon?
Yes. Limsas market npcs should have some
If I would like mount increase, is it more efficient to buy them with irregular tomes or get them the traditional way?
@faint flare i tried to turn them in the firmament, but iy doesn't allow me to? Is there something im doing wrong
Thank you
What is the most efficient way to farm irregular tomes?
So all those that i crafted is wasted?
If they’re all 1, then yes.
i dont get this fishing shit, for my culinary quest i need to deliver grilled trout but i cant use the bait needed
Omg ok tks again
@neat raptor from what I heard the PVP duty goes by pretty fast, but i did my grind with the daily main scenario roulette
Rival wings is fast if you dont have a full blue group for aurum vale
Fray’s is the Adamantite i180 stuff
fray's is the chivalrous set
is it possible to get it on the mb?
Thank you
Or more accurately, here’s all of Granson’s stuff.
How do you unlock raids
which raids
is transferring from midgardsormr to siren free?
no
Appreciate it @obsidian patio
Uh i want to unlock raid roulletes?
i have a full inventory, is there a place i can put these items?
in a retainer
Where is crystal tower?
Ok
wait you asking for alliance raid roulette or regular raid roulette?
crystal tower is alliance
the only lvl 50 8 man raid is really hard
yea
so don't do that
unless you wanna unsync it just for cutscenes
patch 5.3
when is that?
august 11

So you need proper gear for lvl 50 alliance?
Ok cuz im trying to unlock as much roullete as possible
you should have most of them by post ARR

All i have is lvl msq and trial
Do what?
the guildhests
I need to find the guildhests
the guildhest roulette is eh
Idk i just want to unlock it
hi!!, i saw that in some videos in raids, whenever the boss starts casting an attack or spell, a robot voice will say the name, like a voice over function every time an attack is cast... is that an in game option? can i have it on PS4?
huh
sorry, im not familiar with ACT... but so, there's no option to do it on PS4?
it's not an in game feature
Closest thing we can do on console is make the enemy cast bar gigantic and move it near the center of the screen. Nowhere near the audio cue but decent enough.
I’d actually recommend that to anyone. Giant cast bar is pretty nice.
hahaha i see, thanks a lot guys!
yeah, specially in raiding... i have a small one just by my character, but i miss that one sometimes
ill use the one you suggest, at least in raids
is there a list of doh gear npc by level? can only find ones up to 49
none for 60-80
60-70 should be in kugane iirc
Vendors in the relevant expansion area
50–60 in Ishgard
@gloomy ice whats the actual name of the cast bar in the HUD layout?
@acoustic island this one is better sorry
I don’t recall offhand and I’m at work so can’t check. For now you can make a separate hud preset and rig the enemy list so it’s bigger and near center. Would have to toggle between hud layouts for each encounter but should work well enough until I remember 😅
hahaha im not like in a rush, so if you remember when you come back, i'd appreciate it... if i need it for some specific encounter before that i can always do that last suggestion, thanks man!
found it on google, you have to split the target bar in 3 separate parts and then you can move it individually
Outside of NN and this Discord, are spoilers against FFXIV rules?
Like can someone get in trouble for /shout'ing spoilers in Ul'dah
Possible case for harassment depending on context
Not that I plan to, but just wanted to make sure. The mentors in my NN like to use "TOS" a lot
does this option appear in the friends list?
yes
if a sprout loses their sprout status, then i can't teleport to them anymore?
nope
it's a friend referal thing after a month
how hard is aurum vale with a squadron?
can't make them eat the fruit right?
the squadron ai is kinda dumb so they can just eat a lot of mechanics
but any mechanic that normally targets a player will target you
squadrons also have inflated stats to compensate for lack of ability to do mechanics too
how do i use field mastery skill?
basically you select a node
yes
do you have enough perception such that your hq chance isn't 0%
How important are beast tribe questa
they're optional but not a poor source of exp
yeah if you want to
Well i mean important lvling wise
then very important
good for alternate jobs,butnot a must on your main one
The crafting ones are a nice and cheap daily option
the crafting ones are really good though
they give good exp for like no time
Okill prob slog through them latee once i hit heavensward
theyre in every expansion
they take time to rank up in
you can't just grind it out
because you're limited on beast leve allowances
and number of quests from a tribe
per day
Takes roughly 2 and a half weeks to max out a tribe
not really
what is TEA
theyre not just going to hand you exp
The Epic of Alexander, AKA Alexander Ultimate
Is there an easy way to toggle off players names so its not annoying when I'm in market
For Eden Verse, do non-gear items like orchestrion rolls count toward the loot limit?
Nope
Kk, thanks!
@somber olive char config settings
or hold X on pc iirc
You can just turn them off
Do people normally keep it off or it doesn't matger?
idk about most people, but i personally play with all but party names turned off
feel like it makes things cleaner
How do riding maps work do they just let you get faster without doing the quest
?
And does thr battle music ever change?
hm not sure if you can use the riding map without having the first tier
but the riding maps simply give you tier 2 speed for that zone
battle music changes with expansions
Ok
and yeah every expansion has its own battle theme
every expansion has its own soundtrack
can someone give me the current rotation for a lvl 56 DRG?
Some of the mentors have also mentioned that talking about someone's DPS is against TOS. Is there any truth to that?
Chaos thrust combo, two full thrust combos with fang and claw on the end @junior nest
which talking about their dps would
Rinse and repeat
using things like hard numbers is a dead giveaway that you're using a third party tool
Enmity can be a simple way to determine DPS in simple fights
not really
Have blood of the dragon up, use life surge on full thrust only
but saying, "hey you could cast more
holy
" is fine
because healing generates more enmity than regular dps attacks i believe
because healers are supposed to dps until they need to heal
Healing generates enmity so it confuses the position of the healer in the rankings yeah
For aggro meter
as a healer i've gotten automatic enmity at the beginning of fights from using a healing move
the real question is, why would you need to talk about someones dps?
Again this could be because I'm still leveling and healing during these expansions where there is so much catchup-armor is very little
But I mean you can tell whether or not a healer is doing good dps
@terse grail if you're doing savage
i assumed he was in leveling content lol
If they’re pressing the one button they’re doing dps
@jade quartz thanks. I just got level 56 fang and claw so i've been feeling like i am overusing that and neglecting other combos, which you basically confirmed. thanks.
One button DPS
theres no way to really call them out on their dps without checking their casts/buffs and knowing the job
In dungeons if someone is performing really poorly you may want a way to communicate that to them without directly mentioning dps numbers
is there a bot in ffxiv that can catch players using expletives?
As it can lengthen a dungeon run by a lot
There is a censor filter automatically @alpine tide
I forgot what fight it was, but we literally weren't doing enough damage
Also some fights, if you don't have enough DPS you actually have to do the mechanics!
Like Diabolos(?)
If the bot catches you will you get banned or something @jade quartz
If you have enough DPS you can just burn him without doing mechanics
If people are circumventing the filter or using offensive language which the filter doesn’t catch you can report them via system menu > support desk > contact us
what im trying to get at is, its very hard to call people out on their dps without revealing that your using act :/
well yeah turbo
Which turns detected offensive language into “????”
ah I see
just randomly got this notification while gathering? i'm already lvl cap what does it mean
You can now accept the next class/job quest.
These quests offer opportunities not only to earn
it means you have a new job quest
It means you haven’t done your quests
but i finished my job/class quest for my maxed out class
If you get banned for offensive language then obviously the language was severe enough to warrant a ban, and you should be banned @alpine tide
crafting and gathering have their own set of quests
Even if it was not directed to anyone?
I have sworn quite a lot in this game, sometimes even AT people and there hasn't really been issue
Yes
just because you aren't directing it at someone doesn't mean its something that's okay to say
because no one has reported you or it wasn't that serious
This isn’t a difficult concept
Kaiser, this isn't like a Blizzard game
where swearing will actually get you punished
Then I must've been unlucky, because I only cursed at a monster mob 🙂
I think the GMs in FFXIV are a lot more forgiving
depends what you say
Yeah
Spamming is disruptive to chat
yea
You can turn off emote chat message if you want to spam them
still mad tho ngl

Any “things I wish I knew when starting ff14” tips for me ? I’m fresh out the womb with this game !
i wish i knew what job quests were before hitting 30
they appear under your scenario tracker bar btw
and they give you skills
also do all the
because they unlock content (except you don't have to do the ones that unlock other classes)
and leves
hi all i just wanted to ask what server i should choose i live in australi but i want one with a good community
hey have a question and was wondering if anyone else experience this problem and can give me any advice.. so I tried to log in with another device in and SE temprarily suspended my account for being at risk.. however i havnt recived any emails on how to fix it. i tried to change the password but it keeps wanting conformation code that was sent to email but again i dont have any mails (checked in my spam/whitelisted SE) ....
anyone had this issue before
@past mantle usually tonberry or kujata is recommended for aussie players. they're JP servers but they are generally better ping for y'all. that said you can try pinging the datacenters to see if NA/Eu ping isnt that bad. Behemoth iirc is known to have a somewhat decent aussie pop
im not worried about aussie pop
is fenrir good too? im aussie and i accidently joined that without doing much research
all servers have active populations
hmm if you're looking for an english speaking community, might have trouble on fenrir
Unless you know Japanese I'll still suggest you to switch worlds
besides costing money, do you lose any progress, etc. if you request a world change?
nope
the only things that can't transfer with you are friendslist, free company, and housing
oh okay
thankyou
behemoth u cant create a character
wait until later
dun scaith was fun. is there always one particular 24-man that's quite a bit harder than the other ones in each expansion?
The last of the three are usually harder
what about siren
Is Ardbert's axe the WAR 80 AF weapon?
no
Sad
he's using bravura atma
it's lvl 70 relic weapon iirc
50
50
AF3 is best WAR AF.
does the complete edition also come with 30 days?
@acoustic island yep!
also do all the
because they unlock content (except you don't have to do the ones that unlock other classes)
@remote lintel Oooo thank you !
I'm leveling an alt with the road to 70 buff. I'm thinking of getting the ARR story skip (want to do HW-ShB again). Think it's faster to level to 50 with the MSQ -> use skip. Or is it faster to just spam roulette and dungeons to lvl 50 as tank/healer? About the same time?
hmm
with road to 70, doing dungeons/roulettes wouldn't be nearly as quick as doing doing the msq but it also wouldn't be that slow either
so i'd say its largely up to you if you want to do msq up to 50 or just grind out via roulettes/dungeons

Really? The MSQ slows down a ton and gives almost no XP in ARR once you get past ultima.
I'm in the grind right now and the quests XP is miniscule.
well, thats because you're at the part that was old end-game content
its not intended to level you that much, though with the road to 70 its not uncommon for people to end up at like 55~ upon entering heavensward
To get to lvl 50 was only 2-3 days, so that was fast. But I've been in the end-game content for over a week now.
because there's 100 quests
Ah. I'm 64 already but have been doing some dailies.
I had a look at the quest list - I figured I was almost done. Nope. Only about 60% through 100+ quests.
Some of it has been interesting tbh, I'm not trying to rush through it. But a lot of it is fetch quests.
Yeah I think I'm past most of that.
Yeah I literally just started that section - patch 2.4.
should I bother extracting grade 1 materia from spiritbonded gear?
consensus when I asked that was no
theres no harm in doing it, though it might not sell for much
but there's also no need to go out of your way to do it
This issue happens in PvE AND PvP, is there a way to fix this because this is awful and really ruins my enjoyment:

What do magicked prisms do
@dense pier turning this setting might alleviate it a little but server tick may often just be disagreeing with you on click accuracy and position of the character you're targeting
What do magicked prisms do
@tulip plover just a firework more or less
they're basically fire works
I have that enabled
I can't live without that
Also what, click accuracy is server side?!
Why on earth's name is clicking a server-calculated event
i'm not entirely familiar with this but other PC position isn't updated fully in real time
so thats why oyu see characters zinging across the map sometimes
@twilit arch why wouldn’t he probably never see one again?
I am aware of how interpolation works
but wtf tho
its one of those things you just gotta get used to a little 
Do I have to buy lumber, or can I go cut trees somewhere? I havent seen any trees I can cut with my saw yet
triple triad is a card game @tulip plover completely for fun
you have to use a botanist to cut trees @lean yarrow not a carpenter. carpenters fashion lumber from logs cut by botanists
ah I thought botanist was just shrubs. got it. thanks!
Hello! I'm trying to return to the game after not playing it for a long time. The square enix software token app logged me out automatically cuz I haven't used it in some time but I can't get into my account to disable and re-enable it without a one time password. How should I go about fixing that?
If you don't have the recovery password, you need to contact customer support to get the OTP removed
Yeah I can't recall the password to the email I used
Anything in particular I need to have on hand to prove that the account's mine?
Is the leader minion random?
I believe so. Though you can cycle through them by spamming the minion
Oh ok
Thought i was stuck with mini raughban
(Fuck i murdered his name)
He keeps popping up
It says behavior:obedient
Oh wait it depends on your grand company
Hmm. Guess I was wrong about that. Coulda sworn I had a Kan-e at some point but maybe that was a different character
Yea
Fuck i wanted a mini pirate lady whos name i will not try to type before i die of old age trying to spell it
Merlwyb?
Still no clue how to pronounce that
can a newbie like me get these breaking brinks mount?
I'd imagine so. These events are usually geared towards around level 30 or so.
the fates are lv7 minimum
if you can access uldah and central thanalan
you can probably do it
What's the event rewards again
the minion and 2 head glamour pieces
Where are the details of the event?
There's the minion 
Thanks. For some reason I read mount, I'll pass on the minions. I barely notice the little slime guy I have.
should i do other classes along side my Conjurrer? or only focus on COnjurrer to lv 80?
oh, they're useless?
a lot of things in this game are "do it if you want to"
do I always want to summon my robot as a machinist at full bar?
i'll feel overwhelmed if I do too many things, so I guess i'll stick with conjur
dont forget to do your job quests and upgrade to white mage when you hit 30
thats kind of not optional lol
crafting and gathering is VERY time consuming
but fun!
well, not as time consuming if you have millions of gil to just buy all the materials to craft 😛
You still consumed the time gathering that gil together 😛
what do I do with the old gear? sell? or does ff14 have dismantle?
well you need crafters leveled to dismantle. just vendor old gear
oof, so selling it is
or keep some for retainers?
retainers?

Like an automated helper. They can do field missions where they get loot/gil.
oh thats cool, guess i'll get them at lv 30?
please help. i cant move in my game cause i cant escape out the chat menu activity log thing in the bottom left of my screen (i just started)
you get them after the level 17 MSQ. they also act as extra storage, as well as your way of selling stuff on the market
oh boi, im lv 19, i might have miss it
A level 19 character is a lot different than being at level 17 MSQ
depends on your MSQ, not your level. remember that 99% of things in this game are unlocked by doing the main story
Your MSQ may be a lower level. Check your Journal.
its lv15, I see now
How do I exit out of this chat. Please 😭
press escape?
Esc?
on your keyboard
you might have your settings on controller mode and you have quick chat on
Are you trying to hide chat completely?
Ooo let me see that might work I tried my controller earlier
The option is "enable direct chat" somewhere
cuz quick chat basically makes it so whenever you press a button on your keyboard, it starts typing. super convenient for controller players, but obviously not good for kbm players lol
how do i use/open a map? i have one on in my invnetory but dont understand what i gotta do with it
You need to do a
to enable the decipher action
Am I just dumb and missed it 😩
Character Config, Control Settings, Chat Mode Settings, Enable Direct Chat
what do i gotta do @vagrant copper
I think the quest is in Eastern La Noscea...? Go poke around there
pretty sure its in wineport
yes
you also need
dig
to be able to use the map, so make sure to do both quests
dig is given from that quest
ok ty
I don't think the quest is active yet....?
its active
it started today
central thanalan
gotcha
is one possible location
and upper/lower la noscea and somewhere in gridania?
locations are listed here
those only say the 2nd fates
central than, upper/lower la noscea, central/north shroud
AFAIK, the FATEs spawn on top of each other so there's really 6 possible locations...?
Either way, those are the locations.
oh ok
brick by brick is like a pre-fate fate
yeah I know
which one you get is based on the broken golem on the ground
could be a stone one or a gold one
how do i find the treasure? is there supposed to be something that shows it on the map?
/AC dig
like im at the rough spot where it should be
Just use dig in that area until you find it
do i gotta be on the exact spot?
ehhhh, not really
might need to move a bit northeast ish
close enough as you can
but should be close enough for dig to work
oh ok it worked
ty
i just did dig and it showed treasure on map
where do i get more treasure maps?
buy or gather
is there a place where random people prog for TEA?
is it worth it to pay and skip the quests or will I miss stuff?
You'll have no context to understand the MSQ.
If you skip the MSQ, you'll obviously skip the MSQ. A lot of people like the story.
if skipping msq lets you enjoy the game more, i can't say no
but the story is a reason many people like this game
if you skip, you're also going to forfeit getting the fantasia you get for free from the lvl 50 msq "the ultimate weapon"
if you like story then don't skip it
what does "soul of the crafter" item do? its a miscellaenous
what is a fantasia?
soul of the crafter gives that particular crafter some stats
Lets you completely change your character's appearance, including race
fantasias lets you re-edit your character
and lets you use crafter's delineations for careful observation
oh that's cool
so if you want to change races or genders, thats how you'd do it
how do i use soul of the crafter
just equip it in the soulstone section of your equipment
to the crafter of your choice
Soul of the Crafter is traded into a dude near the Foundation airship landing. You need to unlock him via a
in Mor Dhona
alderan is in ishgard
near the astro aetheryte iirc
trade it for things like "soul of the carpenter"
oh
so if my only crafting class that i work on is cooking
and i already have the culinary one
i dont need these others?
Yep
how do you increase density level in anima?
By running heavensward dungeons/raids as the appropriate job
IIRC you don't need to be using the weapon but you need to have it in your inventory
you need to have the weapon equipped when the final boss is killed
which if you're doing the normal suggestion of Eyes of the Creator (Savage) (A9S) farm, then you're going to need to have it equipped
that said if you can't find a group or don't want to do a9s farm, other farm option is running lvl 50 dungeons
brayflox hard mode is pretty common
Would anyone know how you grow the rainbow variant of a flower? I looked it up and only found gamerescape which says to use red pomace, blue pomace, and mountain pomace. Is that just applying the pomace at the same time?
you can only fertilize it once a hour
But yes, give it blue/red/yellow pomace atleast once and you have a chance of getting the rainbow variation
Alright thank you! Guess I'll plant a lot of it
ya, there's a possibility of getting black and white as well
so probably going to need to do more than a few
Does it take too long to process crysta by PayPal?
like half an hour prob
iirc if you do a9s is like 21 runs or so
can u solo i?
a9s? no
you'd want to be in a group anyway for it to kill it as fast as possible
if you're going to do it solo, you should be doing on the lvl 50 dungeons you can do quickly
like i said, brayflox hard mode is pretty common
how many runs?
hauke manor is faster i think

doesn't really matter which lv50 dungeon you choose for solo, so long as you can solo it quickly
and idk how many runs of the lv50 dungeon are required, as i dont think most people really bothered to keep track of it
its going to be slow in general than a9s though
I am told that A8S is just as good as A9S
yeah my paypal went through
Just /shout in any major city
Or just hang around one lmao. People tend to like recruiting in shoutchat and sometimes you get unsolicited offers from nowhere
Also Samurai is all about big attacks
If I want to do Titania ex, should I put up a learning party in pf? Or should I just queue directly through DF after looking the fight up?
Okie
pf
It's pretty unlikely for an EX to pop in DF
you're not going to find a group thru df
Ah, thanks!
hi guys
for the damage numbers
! = direct hit, !! = critical hit is it?
is there a !!! for critical+direct hit?
Slightly larger number = direct hit
Single ! = crit
!! = Direct + crit
what does Domakin or Doma Kingdom means
Just sign up with the duty finder and it'll find people for you
Talk to Edda at Satasha
@dry ocean Domakin are people of the Doma Kingdom
just queued, it's taking longer than expected, probably not prime time
Also depends on which class you are. DPS classes face longer queue times
its 1:30 CST
I'm tank
most people are asleep
!minion domakin
Reeled in by your retainer, this delightfully plump fish was created by a Doman goldfish enthusiast, its name a portmanteau of his nation and the local word for gold. It floats in the air by virtue of the cloudsbreath seeds it devoured, though how it manages to breathe is unknown.
Waterside Exploration XXV (Venture)
Quick Exploration (Venture)
※ Movement: Independent
※ Type: Critter
※ Cost: 20 | HP: 510
※ Attack: 20 | Speed: 1
※ Defense: 80
Delivers an attack with a potency of 30 and knocks back all enemies within range.
@vagrant copper I know. I mean japanese in our data center spam it after finishing quest
(Domakin)(Doma Kingdom)
“Its name a portmanteau of his nation and the local word for gold”
I'd assume that it means "good game" or an equivalent. Maybe "Gold Gold" => "GG"
Domakin are not “people of the Doma Kingdom” btw
AFAIK Japanese players would usually just say GG
Adapted from English
Or お疲れ様
Otsukaresama—thanks for your hard work
Are they putting it in
auto-translation arrows
crow?
I assume it’s some pun or double meaning for jp players
do side jobs have any varying usefulness/importance or can you pick up any based on just interest?
Doma Kingdom is written in Japanese as ドマ城, or Domajou. The default meaning is Doma Castle. But sometimes people are playful and use it to mean "Don't mind" (Donmai)
Did someone die in the instance you were in?
If so, they will sometimes playfully use domajou to mean "I don't mind, don't worry about it"
Ok, I get it. Then yes, they use ドマ城 in Auto Translate
Doma kin
ok..so question. Expert Delivery with GC's let me turn in dungeon drops (like atherial gears) to get seals...so I can use the Duty finder on solo mode to do this then right?
because ど -> Tab -> ドマ城
Faster than writting どんまい
Is there a way to change your name?
it's like $10 USD or so on mogstation to change your name
@old flame yep
is there a good dungeon for doing this?
Also I’m level 15 where is the starter Dungeon at
Follow the MSQ
and it'll take you there
the aery is pretty fast, and the gear converts for a decent amount of seals
you could also do the vault instead
Even for the marauder?
wouldn't recommend anything past gubal library though, they're going to be slower
Aery and Vault. Got it. Thanks @twilit arch

Almost all dungeons are enabled through the MSQ. So, yes, even for marauders
does ast need sps
So I’m thinking of starting a tank job... can anyone tell me which tank job is best in terms of sustainability and which is the most fun to play... as well as survivability and buffs and debuffs?
where can I get macro's for drg Dragon sight?
/micon “dragon sight”```
do i need player name?
@soft hazel For pure survivability, I think Paladin is the best.
invalid action
so 2, 3 etc
@quartz burrow
can dragon sight use <mo> ?
yes
Thank you @brittle coral
@dry ocean ensure you have the quote marks
@wanton herald Late response but, yeah, a single character can pick up any and every class/job. If you have an interest in the class, feel free to grab it. There is little reason to roll multiple characters, by design more or less.
alright thanks :)
So I'm at the start of the stormblood campaign but my paladin is already at 74, would it be better to do it with my lvl60 dark knight to level that class too?
Are all the tanks easy to play? Figured I'd buy some ironworks gear for a tank since I keep capping out.
yes
tank is fun because fi you de you can just blame the healer lol
if you die, then you arent doing enough mitigations
but those are easily done by hitting one button
If you die due to a mistake take responsibility 
Oh, doesn't matter, armor is the same for all of em 🙂
people can see if you're using mitigation or not
