@ivory thunder FFXIV is a bit more straightforward than WoW. The first 20 levels or so of the MSQ 
are basically your tutorial. And the Active Help windows will pop up whenever you encounter a new system (and can be accessed at any time later if you want).

Hey is it possible to transfer a character from chaos world to elemental world? Also, if they have the same names.. would it be possible?
twilit arch
yes, though it requires paying for a home world transfer (18$)
twin sable
And it’s ok if they have the same name?
twilit arch
if the character you're transferring has a name that is already taken on that world, you will be required to change your name
flint temple
ok has anyone else experienced problem with mogstation? Its been almost 24 hours since SE charged money from my bank account and still I have nothing in my mailbox. Its not full and i ckicked the recieve gift button a few times
twin sable
Oh ok. And how much does name change cost?
twilit arch
you should contact support if its been 24hrs and you've not received your item
the name change will be free
twin sable
Oh . So I can change name anytime or only if I buy the 18$ character transfer?
twilit arch
you'll be prompted to change your character's name after you've transferred to the world, upon logging in
name change is normally 10$
twin sable
Oh nice!
flint temple
ye i contacted them this morning, this is so stupid
twin sable
Okok . I’m excited now. Thank you!!!

ok thanks
faint flare
Dungeons if que times are quick, potd otherwise
faint flare
If que times for dungeons are long
twilit arch
no, palace of the dead is an instance
so any queue you're in has to be stopped in order to do it
faint flare
Potd is its own instance but generally quicker ques due to no set party set up
So you can get 4 dps
Or 4 tanks
Or 4 healers in the party

+2 is with Baldesion Arsenal materials

Even his normal attacks take a third of my hp
simple shore
idk, the last time i did it Regen felt like overkill healing on who had aggro
faint flare
If the music is different than normal fates and its.timer is lomger than 15mins then its achievement fate and needs a tank
And some healing
To tank it

You can also generally assume there will be some more mechanics than usual
such as with the cyclops in Coerthas

Experience primarily
You get accursed horde sacks from hidden spots which has a assortment.of stuff
From fireworks, to materia to minions and music.and higher floors has sacks that can contain a mount
steel wedge
So at lvl 72 could I solo a lot of low lvl floors?
twin stirrup
You can get a glowy weapon a mount drops once past floor 100 and also a mount you get with galmorean shards that drop I believe it is 10 of them if I'm not mistaken.
faint flare
Your aetherpool level is what determines youe gear strength
You can go in naked
And lv1
And solo provided you have high aetherpool
steel wedge
Ah ok cool
faint flare
Kill things
Go to next floor
Rinse repeat
Open silver chests to upgrade gear
So you can go to higher floors

Guys, if you're playing all the three healers, can you share gear between them? except for the weapon ofc 
faint flare
Yes
whole wasp
yup
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Open silver chests
median locust
Same way as the weapon, it's random which one gets upgraded
faint flare
Keep going or do another run of 1-10 by using the other save or deleting the save
Aetherpool is saved between all runs
faint flare
Then do another 1-10 run
median locust
If you have low aetherpool you can use the 2 save slots to your advantage. Run 1-10 on one file, then run 1-10 on the other, run 11-20 on one save file, run 11-20 on the other, etc. This should keep you at a decent aetherpool level
If not, just reset the file and go again

Assuming you're on PC, hold down RMB while you're doing it and that should mostly do what you want.

Instead of walking backwards

@sleek spoke you can, with the mogstation item called “Phial of Fantasia”

You get a potion that allows you to edit your character once when you beat the base game's story (lv50)
That one is free

@mossy tartan Canopus Lux?
nova beacon
What materia does, can i get it on lancer and how to get it cuz materia mender dont sell it in gridania
median locust
Materia gives you extra stats. You basically don't have to care about it until level 80.
median locust
you replace gear too often while levelling to make it worth it
nova beacon
you cant take of materia?
mossy tartan
You can, with the “Retrieve materia” option
do note that it has a chance of failure though
nova beacon
oh ok
mossy tartan
Right clicking an item infused with materia will have the option “retrieve materia”
If I would aim to get Canopus lux, do I have to finish upgrading atlas, deneb, etc?
forest laurel
yes you have to complete all the previous anima weapon steps
you're gonna need like
12k poetics or so
mossy tartan
Ah, okay
forest laurel
maybe more, but that's how much I will have spent on my anima weapon so far
strong sphinx
Crit > DH = Det if they say DH = DET, does that mean, that i should keep the numbers shown in the attributes window in "character" roughly the same?
for example: i have currently DET 2317 and DH 2764, so i should meld more DET?
forest laurel
more like they have the same importance
ofc you always meld crit
but if you can't meld crit and DH, then you meld det
can't do crit and det, you meld DH
strong sphinx
well i hace a case where i cant meld crit but dh and det

What was the best way to get 1-50 quickly again? Do potd 51-60 and reset?
strong sphinx
but lemme do a screenshot real quick
forest laurel
if crit is maxed, I try to max out the other stat first
so I maxed det first, then went for DH
strong sphinx
forest laurel
that's how I meld my stuff usually if crit is maxed
median locust
1-15 you'll wanna do hunting logs, fates and sidequests. 15-60 highest dungeon you can queue for unless you have bad queues, then run PotD 51-60 over and over
and of course do roulettes
forest laurel
in your case I'd max out det first then go DH
strong sphinx
alright thx
forest laurel
same as I have done for my idealised set
median locust
Click the quest objective in your quest list and it should open the map where you need to go

blissful ridge
Hi - new here. Job I'd like to main is Machinist. From reading online the first story is worth skipping potentially anyway, so can I get the "Tales of Adventure: A Realm Reborn" boost, then take my level 1 character and get the Machinst (which I think then drops to lvl30). Or does this not work as the character needs to be level 50 as well?
Or any guidance welcome.
dusty jungle
You need to have a character at level 50 to obtain MCH.
dusty jungle
I would also strongly disagree with what you read online that you should or be worth skipping ARR. There is a bit of a drag portion of it but there is a lot of world and character development that you'll miss story-wise. If you are interested remotely in the story; which is the core of this game, don't skip.
marble drift
^ this
blissful ridge
Ok thanks. If I level boost a character which I'd use as an alt in the future, then went and did that, can you re-do the story from level 50 with the MCH?
marble drift
if you don't like story
just...don't FFXIV. Brutal but honest here
its Story-centric
blissful ridge
I do like story, and appreciate the honesty, was just trying to find ways to learn the job I wanted to main rather than use another one for a long time first. I feel more 'hero' if I'm into the main if that makes sense.
dusty jungle
At current you cannot redo the ARR story as it is being reworked for the next patch. We expect that the new game+ will be available then but as far as I am aware it has not yet been confirmed. That patch is scheduled for August 11th.
marble drift
Then I would consider playing Bard up until Heavensward, picking up machinist once you are allowed to
and taking a small breather to catch that up.
blissful ridge
Teddy - does that mean you can't do it at all sorry? Or just I couldnt go back and do it if I skipped
dusty jungle
If you skipped you couldn't go back and do it, currently.
blissful ridge
Thanks for clarifying.
dusty jungle
You can do the ARR story normally if you create a new level 1 character - and the bard recommendation isn't bad as Bard and MCH share the exact same gear (excluding weapon, of course)
marble drift
Im curious as to how you know that you want to play Machinist if you've never tried it however
blissful ridge
Ah ok, good thought. I'd been thinking Samuari as its probably the class I'd like to alt but the gearing makes sense
Just from research and other mmo's ive played
marble drift
FFXIV is not other mmos.
tribal wave
as a fledgling bard, what's the closest instrument to sound like an electric guitar?
forest laurel
FF14 is an FF game first and an MMO second.
marble drift
I like that. Im going to start saying that.
little swift
forest laurel
and like Silver said, FF14 isn't like other MMOs, and one reason is because everyone is expected to dps, even healers.
jade quartz
Like other MMOs then.
little swift
^
forest laurel
man idk I haven't played that many other mmos lmao
but in the MMO I played when I was a kid healers literally couldn't deal proper damage unless it was to undead mobs.
jade quartz
In WoW you better believe healers are pushing dps in high-level content.
It's just that in this game the general community is more aware of that meta.
forest laurel
interesting
dusty jungle
I have played a ton of mmos and I can say in no game is anyone tolerable of people, namely healers, standing around doing nothing when there is not healing to be done. That expectation is the same here - when there's no healing to be done, do something.
blissful ridge
I'd tend to agree with the dps comments from WoW and GW2 (which doesnt have the tank/healer/dps distinctions particuarly)
Thanks for the guidance both
sleek spoke
hm you cant move around while casting abilities? is that correct?
because it keeps iterrupting
faint flare
Not if there's a cast bar, no
sleek spoke
alas
slate arrow
yes, you can't move when using spells unless it's an instant cast
slate arrow
pvp uses an entirely different skillset
for example, instead of most of your spells being casts only half of them require casts
also, don't treat pvp as a main mode
sleek spoke
ohh nice!
sleek spoke
i know, i just like pvp in mmos so i am looking forward to being able to play it :3
marble drift
It is...uhh definately not FFXIV's focus
or strong point
I'd advise you to temper your expectations somewhat.

It's a nice side thing to do from time to time and it does have its own dedicated community. But if you're here for PvP, this isn't the game lol

Like in the overworld? You don't just find loot, no
though treasure maps are a thing later on
Killing mobs gives crafting materials.

so how do you get new gear etc? by completing quests?

mobs do drop resources occasionally
but gear comes from either completing quests or vendors of different flavours

I’m towards the tail end of msq. in regards to role quests: does it make a difference if I beat all 4 before beating msq? Like are there slight tweaks/adds to the storyline for each one?

Sidequests can also reward gear
jade quartz
Be sure to focus on doing the MSQ

what lvl can i start doing dungeons

It is mandatory, the core of the game, and virtually everything is locked behind progress in it.

yeah just going the first guild quest for now then i will do the msq and ignore everything else haha

I’m towards the tail end of msq. in regards to role quests: does it make a difference if I beat all 4 before beating msq? Like are there slight tweaks/adds to the storyline for each one?
there is a slight dialogue change iirc from completing all the role quests and culminating quest before entering 5.2 iirc
jade quartz
It's a fairly significant scene
change
if you have all four role quest chains done.
tribal estuary
the means it unlocks a feature or piece of content

oh cool !

But you can also go back and view it in the inn later if you get the role quests done after having already passed that scene.

the MSQ doesn't go away either
tribal estuary
Just don't try and do every single sidequest in an area before you move on
tribal estuary
it will literally drive you insane
sleek spoke
.< yeah its overwhelming, i always have this urge to do every sidequest in mmos but theres soooooooooooo many
tribal estuary
As there are many fluff ones
Ones that are best saved for using to level your alternate classes 🙂
jade quartz
But only bother with them if you care about doing it for lore or completionism
They're frankly garbage for leveling alt classes.
Exp is tiny.
tribal estuary
If they are there and simple then ;3
jade quartz
And not affected by armoury bonus.
sleek spoke
i care about both heh ^ and def want to level all classes later on cos they all seem cool
jade quartz
So you're better off doing virtually anything else with your time for exp efficiency's sake
even doing FATEs
sleek spoke
are FATEs worth it then
valid prairie
My mistake when first starting was doing so many side quests. But msq as said locks content. My plan is to do come back and do side quests with a new class eventually for completionism but it’s a long endeavor.
sleek spoke
i just found one but i was too underleveled so
jade quartz
If you're waiting in a queue and have nothing else to do
then sure do FATEs
But they're kinda last resort for leveling

Unlock the challenges log if you haven’t, 10 fates a week is a good benchmark because it give bonus xp on top of the fate xp
jade quartz
First dungeon at 15 in the main story.
sleek spoke
as an arcanist i should play dps until i become a scholar right? cos my main goal for now is playing a healer
ok
jade quartz
At level 10 you can unlock something called "guildhests" but they're kinda...obsolete content that you can ignore tbh
You don't have an option
Arcanist is dps
You are a dps
until you change to scholar.
jade quartz
That's correct
jade quartz
When you're level 30 and have completed all the arcanist's guild quests up to that level.
Also requires completion of the level 20 main story quest "Sylph-Management"

okay, so i will get there in time anyways :3 ty

@ionic hazel if you have the medica 2 heal over time effect applied and still need another AoE heal, then you should use medica 1
but realistically
you like, never use medica 1.
marble drift
the damage that requires 2 medicas is generally covered by Cure 3 instead
little swift
immediate healing wise, m1 does more, but m2 heals more because of the regen
you don't spam m2
because you end up resetting the regen duration
just let the regen slowly tick people up if there isn't other incoming damage
ionic hazel
When do i unlock the lily
slate arrow
52
median locust
Medica 1: I need heals RIGHT NOW and can't wait.
Medica 2: I need heals but it's fine if people aren't immediately topped.
marble drift
Cure 3: Akh Morn is literally about to tear me and 7 other people to shreds in 2 and a half seconds or less holy shit
slate arrow
As a healer, your job is to just make sure the HP doesn't hit 0
median locust
Yeah Medica 2 heals for more and scenarios where you need immediate heals don't happen often
faint flare
Not unless there's alot of back.to back aoes
And people are out of.range for cure.3
And have no lily
little swift
big heal checks don't often happen in normal content anyways
median locust
Medica range is so big that at this point, it's their problem
simple shore
Med 2 range is pretty massive
marble drift
yeah I can't think of a dungeon or normal trial that would require multiple massive aoe heals
faint flare
Range shouldn't be in africa
simple shore
If you dont get a Med 2 from me, you deserve death.
jade quartz
You can put Medica 1 somewhere faaaar out of reach on your bar
ionic hazel
welp just got 50 so im happy about that, now.... i just need to know how to unlock astro
jade quartz
in an ideal situation it's never going to be necessary
simple shore
I cant really remember the last time i even cast Med 1 other than when i was sync'd into some super low level dungeon.
sleek spoke
what are purple quest markers
faint flare
You need to get to ishgard for astro
jade quartz
Do you mean Ayan?
faint flare
Aka you.need to finish ARR post patch.quests
sleek spoke
no
median locust
Purple quests? Can you screenshot
faint flare
Fates
sleek spoke
will do
jade quartz
Oh could mean FATEs yeah
faint flare
Probably fatws
sleek spoke
jade quartz
NPC starts a FATE
faint flare
Yeah that's a fate
median locust
^
simple shore
Generally to be disregarded on your first trip through the game
sleek spoke
ahh ok, earlier there was a fate too but it didnt have a quest marker like that
ionic hazel
does that mean im still far away from astro
median locust
The other ones are big blue areas as well, but this one in particular requires you to talk to the NPC to start it
faint flare
Yes
ionic hazel
im currently at msq 41
sleek spoke
makes sense
jade quartz
Some FATEs are begun by speaking to an NPC, like that.
vocal shell
Which roulette gives the least amount of xp?
faint flare
You got over 100 quests
jade quartz
Most FATEs just spawn by themselves.
marble drift
Trials or Normal raids anna
faint flare
@vocal shell guildheast gives the least
median locust
Guildhests probably
vocal shell
thanks
median locust
or 50/60/70 dungeons
remote lintel
there's 100 quests after the base game
marble drift
ohright. guildhest. yea probably them
median locust
Trials and Normal raids give at least a little
ionic hazel
simple shore
There's an absolute fuckton of MSQ that you need to plow through after you get to 50
before you get to Heavensward
faint flare
Yeah the post ARR slog is real
But its being cut down in a month
You'll be past it by then
sleek spoke
where can i see my new pets stats/dmg?
sleek spoke
ahh ok
faint flare
Cause pet potency is a thing
jade quartz
You can see the potencies of their skills in the Actions & Traits menu, under "pet"
jade quartz
but for the reason mentioned they're not really useful measurements to compare to the rest of your non-pet-related kit.
median locust
what kinda outfit
kind eagle
idk?
remote lintel
??
median locust
me neither
jade quartz
That's the quest which rewards the BRD AF1 excluding chest.
little swift
@kind eagle you should have recieved pieces of that gear as you did the quest
little swift
they're sitting in your inventory like right now if you haven't touched them
kind eagle
i collected all
little swift
only the chestpiece is left
jade quartz
What's your question? 👀
sleek spoke
when do i get a mount i need more movement speed
little swift
!faq mounts
zinc orbitBOT
sleek spoke
ty
remote lintel
oh god
jade quartz
aaaaaaah
little swift
LOL
jade quartz
!faq mounts
kind eagle
so i cant use his attire yet?
zinc orbitBOT
faint flare
Aka lv20
jade quartz
lmao
kind eagle
How do i equip it?
faint flare
Or armoury dependimg on setting
faint flare
Equip it like any other piece
kind eagle
Right click what
jade quartz
The gear.
remote lintel
..... the gear
faint flare
The equipment
jade quartz
:|
jade quartz
yes
remote lintel
open armory chest
faint flare
Equip it like any other piece of gear
jade quartz
Or to simplify
jade quartz
just open character window and select "equip recommended gear"
faint flare
You.have other pieces
remote lintel
the other pieces yuki
jade quartz
that's the shirt
remote lintel
you get the chest piece last
jade quartz
you have the hat, wristbands, tights and sandals.
faint flare
You have a head, glove, legs and feet
remote lintel
no
jade quartz
yes
jade quartz
because it's the best gear available at level 45
faint flare
Because we've gone through the game and know the rough ilvl people would be at
And that
kind eagle
i might buy people gear?
faint flare
You can buy gear others made via market board
Market board is basically the auction house
remote lintel
because it's high quality
jade quartz
the recommended gear window gave you your best gear.
You don't need to make any more changes.
kind eagle
i shld follow rec?
jade quartz
yes
remote lintel
what's the ring
jade quartz
probably not a better ring then
remote lintel
that isn't better
kind eagle
oh
jade quartz
Therefore weathered is better, it gives dex.
kind eagle
i thought strenght = more dmg
faint flare
No
jade quartz
Not for your class.
remote lintel
for melee dps
jade quartz
Dex = more damage.
faint flare
Thats only for melee dps (except rogue)
kind eagle
i just follow rec then
kind eagle
oh
faint flare
Occasionally wonky but its workable
little swift
i think you should do more msq
split flower
Am I seriously gonna be forced to do a raid to continue story in August?
marble drift
You are on JP servers
jade quartz
What's the problem @split flower 
jade quartz
24-man raids are just bigger dungeons.
little swift
yuki you are way overleveled compared to msq
kind eagle
shld be 1am in japan
remote lintel
color doesn't really matter later
unreal aspen
how do hunt trains work?
jade quartz
Not necessarily
unreal aspen
i understand the basic concept of road tripping around and killing mobs
jade quartz
Group of people gathers up all the locations of all the A ranks that have spawned on a world
sleek spoke
does this game also have normal>green>blue>purple>gold gear?
unreal aspen
but i always see people arguing in shout chat about pulls or getting there in time or w/e
jade quartz
then at a certain time they go kill them all
faint flare
You join it and roam around the map and killing hint mobs
unreal aspen
and i don't want to join one and get flamed for doing something wrong lmao
remote lintel
just don't pre pull
jade quartz
then just don't be the one to pull
remote lintel
and your fine
unreal aspen
ok ty!
jade quartz
and nothing can go wrong
kind eagle
oh color doesnt matter?
remote lintel
@sleek spoke somewhat
faint flare
Kind of ayan but its not a measure of how good gear is
faint flare
Blue is just raid and Tomestone gear
jade quartz
The colour is kind of irrelevant
faint flare
Green is dungeons/crafted
jade quartz
just vaguely indicates where the gear came from
sleek spoke
ah i get it
faint flare
Purple is usually special like relics
But highest ilvl always wins
In 99.9% of scenarios
sleek spoke
can anyone send me a guide for that, aswell as guides for builds?
sleek spoke
ahh so gear only starts to matter after lvl cap like in eso?
faint flare
While levelling just pick the highest ilvl gear you get offered
onyx kiln
is there a good way to raise the chances of overmelding to succed?
jade quartz
at endgame it's still highest item level in 99% of cases
sleek spoke
when i am done with my gear, what is the best thing to do? can i deconstruct it?
faint flare
No @onyx kiln
remote lintel
glamours
faint flare
Overmeld chances are static. They only change based on the materia used and what slot it is
little swift
!faq glamour
zinc orbitBOT
jade quartz
and then between two pieces of the same gear, you make a build which gives the optimal stats
sleek spoke
as an arcanist my main stat is intelligence right?
little swift
yes
faint flare
Yes
sleek spoke
so the rest doesnt affect me
faint flare
Nope
jade quartz
math folks figure out the best possible gear combination in each raid tier at endgame.
sleek spoke
ok
faint flare
For ease, stuff for you will be classed as Disciple of Magic
For ARR at least
Then it splits at 50
sleek spoke
i have all the expansions so will it still be classed at that?
sleek spoke
hah ok
faint flare
Or the weird gear fickles
jade quartz
Might wanna try again later...
