twilit arch
#

You already have

jade quartz
#

You’ve done that

twilit arch
#

maniac pixie dream realm is the unlock

wind nexus
#

it doesnt show up in my beast tribe relations?

twilit arch
#

The dailies are outside of lydha lran

wind nexus
#

where?

oak ice
#

Just to the southwest

#

It's not very far out

wind nexus
#

will it have a quest symbol on the map?

last brook
oak ice
#

It should have a quest marker with circling arrows

wind nexus
#

what screenshot is my map rn

oak ice
#

If you have unlocked it

wind nexus
#

and i dont see any quests w/ that icon

last brook
#

Any idea how to get Ifrit's icon to change?

wind nexus
#

i dont think it can change o:

#

you can get egi glamours at lvl 50 but the icon stays the same

last brook
#

The garuda and titan ones changed for me. I guess this is bug or something?

steel wedge
#

Are any of the alliance raids currently important for The story of the latest expansion with the exception of Crystal Tower of course?

wind nexus
#

If I can fly in lakeland that means ive at least dont the pixie manic quest right

gloomy ice
#

Manic Pixie Dream Realm quest is in Crystarium near the Pendants

wind nexus
#

Do I need to progress farther in MSQ? Because I've done that quest already

#

But it lead to a dead end, where I don't have any more unlocks for the tribe quests

gloomy ice
#

Hmm, if you've completed that quest, then it should be available 🤔

wind nexus
#

this is wild

gloomy ice
#

Unless you've done the first three dailies already 🤔

wind nexus
#

Probably not?

#

I'm not one to pick up every quest I see

#

o wait

#

i figured it out

#

we innit

steel wedge
#

Are any of the alliance raids currently important for The story of the latest expansion with the exception of Crystal Tower of course? Shadow of Mhach Quests and Return to Ivalice are in anyway however small important to shadowbringers?

wind nexus
#

I don't think so

frank ridge
#

Return to Ivalice is important for the Relics quest

wind nexus
#

They're making CT raids an MSQ requirement for a reason, so I'm assuming the rest of them are just side story filler?

frank ridge
#

Yes I guess

wind nexus
#

Or, world building

#

Not filler exactly

rough lance
#

More like mini spoilers to the main series ff

gloomy ice
#

Shadows of Mhach is a neat side story but so far hasn't had very many ties to the main quests.

#

Return to Ivalice is required if you want to get ShB's relic weapons but how closely it ties into the main story remains to be seen.

steel wedge
#

Return to Ivalice is inspired by 12 and and Final Fantasy tactics... what is Shadow of Mhach inspired by?

gloomy ice
#

It's kind of its own story. It borrows a few things here and there but it's largely original.

steel wedge
#

Ok then cool I guess it’s safe for me to at least start 5.0 content

#

But I’m confused || if you’re going to the first which is another dimension basically/world how can you reason going back to your world to do other side content that you have not done yet lol? Is it really so easy to go back and forth?||

#

Possible spoilers for starting shadowbringers above

rough lance
#

Start 5.0

#

They will explain to u

gloomy ice
#

That question is answered within the first two quests so you gucci.

kind eagle
#

How marry girl can u marry in game

#

Many*

steel wedge
#

Ah ok Where I’m at currently it just feels like it’s going to be a permanent thing until he complete the quest line

#

But OK I will do that

#

Ty

gloomy ice
#

@kind eagle In terms of marrying other players, you can only be bonded to one person at a time. If you were to annul the marriage, however, you can remarry. As long as it's one person at a time, you could theoretically get married infinitely. Marrying NPCs however isn't a thing.

kind eagle
#

Ah nice

#

Can female marry female

marble drift
#

ya

kind eagle
#

Interesting

#

If only i can marry shizuka rin rubycry

surreal elm
#

Are there any exp boost items aside from the 3% of food

oak ice
#

Free company buffs and the armoury bonus

#

And various pieces of gear, some no longer obtainable

surreal elm
#

whats the armoury bonus? yea the FC one just depends on what buff they put

Armoury EXP bonus FAQ

'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.

oak ice
#

Whichever job/class isn't your highest leveled gets a bonus

junior tundra
#

who is beq luggs seiyuu

oak ice
#

Japanese one is Nobuyuki Hiyama

sharp flicker
#

are the servers having problems?

hardy abyss
#

I am having no problems in Tonberry

#

this new Trust feature for SHB

#

is it efficient to use when solo grinding for a few levels 70+?

hollow horizon
#

Should I upgrade ironworks gear

hardy abyss
#

assume DF is still better but if I really cba

gloomy ice
#

If you're playing a DPS, it can be. Trusts can be a little slower than a regular run but there's zero queue time.

twilit arch
#

trusts are good if you're not interested in partying with other people or your dungeon queues are long

hardy abyss
#

as a tank, I wouldn't have that issue

#

should've mentioned that

jade quartz
#

If you have long dps queues (like over 15–20 minutes) then trusts are faster to spam

twilit arch
#

its the same exp if you ran wit players, just going to be slightly longer (usually between 25-30~mins per run)

hardy abyss
#

true

gloomy ice
#

@hollow horizon Unaugmented Ironworks will hold until you reach the level 53 dungeon. Augmented Ironworks will keep until you hit the 55 dungeon.

jade quartz
#

Although with long queues you get to do other stuff while you wait...

twilit arch
#

and less gear drops but you'll get all the loot

hardy abyss
#

tyty

#

yeah as tank I don't think I'd concern myself if I was impatient anyways, queue times nearly instant for me with dungeons

#

wasn't sure if DF was like 50% faster or something

hollow horizon
#

@gloomy ice should I just save instead of upgrading ironworks accessories then

hardy abyss
#

but seems neat

#

ty

#

oh also off that topic as well,

gloomy ice
#

If you're in that level range, then, yeah. Hold on to the poetics until you reach Idyllshire at level 58 story.

hardy abyss
#

this ishgardian restoration thing

#

I was told by someone in FC it's epic for crafters

hollow horizon
#

Damn I augmented every single armor piece

hardy abyss
#

while gathers in diadem for mats for said restoration

#

this true?

gloomy ice
#

It's alright. Poetics are really easy to come by

twilit arch
#

yes, restoration is pretty good for leveling crafting/gathering

hollow horizon
#

Ung main story msq

#

Makes me cry

hardy abyss
#

I was pretty big on farming with gathers in SB

#

using leves and beast tribes for crafters got old honestly

#

sounds good then, thanks I'll look in to it after msq

steel wedge
#

Remind me... have we seen Solus zos Galvus before post stormblood content

#

He seems Familiar but I don’t remember much

twilit arch
#

we had artwork outside of game

#

but no, nothing in-game until post sb

gloomy ice
#

His coffin. In person, though, no. We'd heard about him a lot.

twilit arch
#

that wasn't his coffin

gloomy ice
#

Ah. Looked coffin like. My b.

twilit arch
#

it was a coffin

#

but it was not solus'

steel wedge
#

Ok so he’s not from 1.0 or anything like that?

twilit arch
#

nope

#

wasn't in 1.0

steel wedge
#

Ok ty

does the armoury exp have a buff icon?

twilit arch
#

no

surreal elm
#

Ah ok, so I get the bonus already then since my main is lvl 80

twilit arch
#

whenever you get a chat message saying you've gained exp, it'll be calculated as part of the bonus. So like "You gain X (X%) class experience points" is what you'll see

surreal elm
#

cool cool, thanks!

gloomy ice
#

It applies only to combat classes/jobs though

surreal elm
#

Yup

grim adder
#

What's a materia that always sells fast?

junior yacht
#

The Crit one is usually a safe bet

clear delta
#

Where I am, Direct hit is more expensive right now.

#

Unrelated, anyone know where to find the ideal rotation for alchemy when trying to make grade 3 tinctures?

little swift
#

you can look in teamcraft to see if there are mastercraft rotations that work

wind nexus
#

are beast tribe allounces 12 for every tribe per day?

dense pier
#

Once I've unlocked Manipulation, is there any reason to continue the SB craft job quests?

jade quartz
#

12 per day overall

wind nexus
#

kk

jade quartz
#

So you can do three quests from each of four different tribes

wind nexus
#

so the each only have 3 quests a day>

#

im assuming they reset at the same time roulettes do?

jade quartz
#

They reset with the daily reset yes

#

Um generally there are three a day from each tribe. ARR is different, with each tribe having multiple quest NPCs at different reputation ranks who offer a total of like 9 quests (even more for the Ixal) but it’s only worth doing the top three from the highest-level guy for efficiency’s sake

#

Also, when you rank up your reputation by a level and complete the associated story quest, you get a bonus three quests available from that tribe for that day

dense pier
#

Awwwwww

#

I lost out on those bonus quests

void fossil
#

Does mouse over macro effect spell que?

dense pier
#

It doesn't have spell queue

jade quartz
#

Yes

#

Macros don’t queue

dense pier
#

You either have to repeatedly spam the line over and over in the macro to fix it, or download something that mods the game client

jade quartz
#

There is no form of macro that doesn’t come with caveats

void fossil
#

Man.....

#

Ty tho healers

jade quartz
#

mo macros have uses

#

But don’t use them for like, every healing spell in your kit

#

I’ve seen crazy stuff like that

dense pier
#

@void fossil
I can't message you

light holly
hardy abyss
#

I just had to deal with that issue too. my fix was using a VPN

light holly
#

idk how to us a vpn

hardy abyss
#

other common fixes are playing with your DNS, another is ensuring you've removed older game files

fading zealot
#

Hi, might be a silly question, but is there a perception cap on Discerning eye for ephemerals?

hardy abyss
#

they're a simple click of a button, based on the ones I've used, and I've used 2

!faq vpn

zinc orbitBOT
hardy abyss
#

not that I'm advertising, but TunnelBear is what got me through the downloading process, and is free for 500mb. I had to turn it on, start the download and turn it back off after it got passed the point it was failing at

#

the links above however are more trusted with FF14 players

timid rover
#

So, sorry to interrupt, but are there any suggestions of where to first and how to handle quests and such?

hardy abyss
#

I personally use Nord now

gloomy ice
#

Many of the in game systems are behind the main story quests. These. msq

#

Quests themselves are relatively straightforward and there are very very few that leave you without some form of guidance.

#

Main story quests are also the best source of EXP. If you're not sure what to do next, getting on with the next main quest is almost always the best option.

#

Side quests - these sidequest - are ok(?) for a little exp bump but largely unnecessary. Safe to ignore in other words.

pure sky
#

question.. is there a lfg channel on this server?

gloomy ice
#

Many of the side content unlocks and optional things are marked with this bluequest

timid rover
#

Thanks for the advice, I'll ask any other stupid questions if I have them

pure sky

stable hinge
#

do the dragoon armour spikes serve any function or are they just aesthetic?

boreal aurora
#

which healer job is good to learn be good healer?

#

!faq newplayertips

zinc orbitBOT
little swift
#

@timid rover

stable hinge
#

I'd assume it makes them harder for dragons to digest them

marble drift
#

@boreal aurora start with White Mage (base: conjurer)

boreal aurora
#

kk

marble drift
#

and if thats too boring, try Scholar (base arcanist)

gloomy ice
#

@stable hinge Aesthetic at least in terms of its irl reasoning. Made to resemble classic FF concept artworks.

mossy tartan
#

Does reshade conflict with any TOS in the game? I’m thinking of downloading it

gloomy ice
#

Although I'm certain there is a reason in universe for it? I recall there was a blurb about the armor in one of the lore books.

proud willow
#

Reshade technically violates the TOS, but they make no attempt to track people down and punish them for it

#

All you need to know is that you shouldn't discuss it in-game. it's safe to use it

mossy tartan
#

Okay, thank you

light holly
#

so what do i do about this idk how to us vpn's so other idea would help

gloomy ice
#

Mmm. I'm not familiar with the exact error codes but I have heard that the installer uses Internet Explorer. Sometimes updating IE works for whatever reason.

celest bison
#

I know that daily beast tribes reset at 10am earth time which is EST , right? Correct meif im wrong

gloomy ice
#

!daily

zinc orbitBOT
#
Tick, Tock, Kupo!
Time Until Daily Reset:

0 Days, 8 Hours, 41 Minutes, 36 Seconds

gloomy ice
#

I'm not sure what that would be in your timezone but that's when daily reset occurs

celest bison
#

So its 10am in my timezone EST

#

Thanks

stray dawn

Australian Western Standard Time WA (GMT+8)

proud willow
#

if you do your level 50 WHM quest, you'll get a set of significantly better armor

gloomy ice
#

@stray dawn Do your level 50 WHM quest to get an i90 set

proud willow
#

in a coffer

#

you can also wait until after you finish the 2.0 MSQ, at which point you should be able to start getting Ironworks equipment

gloomy ice
#

Also if you have some tomestones of poetics on hand, you can buy a significantly stronger level 50 weapon

boreal aurora
#

does friendship circlet apply to crafting

remote lintel
#

memoria misera EX is harder than savage

stray dawn
#

tomestone, where do I get those and wher to spend them?

remote lintel
#

from lvl 50 content and roulettes

#

for lvl 50 spend them at more donut

stray dawn
#

i see, going to do my whm quest

gloomy ice
#

@boreal aurora Quick test says yes it does

boreal aurora
#

alright

#

btw whats the best way to lvl fishing

gloomy ice
#

Levequests or Ishgard Restoration. Although straight grinding isn't as bad with fisher as it is with the other gatherers.

left moth
#

ocean fishing, then leves (market board dependent) then ishgard restroation

boreal aurora
#

alright cool

gloomy ice
#

Oh right yeah Ocean Fishing is pretty crazy

boreal aurora
#

is ixal quests even worth it

#

anymore

#

for crafting

obsidian patio
#

Pretty decent if you aren’t spamming leves

leaden ginkgo
#

does the squadron manaul works with Fate?

#

i'm talking about the 15% exp boost in field monsters

oak ice
#

You can craft the ixal items on a higher leveled crafter and turn in on a lower leveled one

slate arrow
#

only on monster kills

leaden ginkgo
#

Yeah, but monster killed inside the Fate, will it count?

slate arrow
#

basically, it's not worth unless you're going into dungeons cause field EXP kills are virtually worthless

#

They're only like what, 300 xp each?

steel wedge
#

So tell me.... 4.5.6 only has 2 MSQ quests... did you really have to wait 3 months for that?

#

4.56

slate arrow
#

They were long

gloomy ice
#

Yeah. But yes they were pretty long. Lots of dialogue.

slate arrow
#

And that was right before 5.0 came out

boreal aurora
#

im at ixal right now i failed one and now it doesnt let me craft any anymore

#

u are not using the proper facilities it says

#

i dont get it

steel wedge
#

Ok so when a .56 patch comes out it’s like weeks from New expansion?

gloomy ice
#

@boreal aurora Talk to the NPC again to get the facility back.

steel wedge
#

@slate arrow

slate arrow
#

Maybe about a month, give or take

#

Point is we don't get .x6 patches often

steel wedge
#

Ok I was just wondering ty

slate arrow
#

Did Heavensward have a .56 patch?

gloomy ice
#

It did yeah.

slate arrow
#

Or ARR?

boreal aurora
#

ah thx

slate arrow
#

ah. I see now

gloomy ice
#

That too although it was referred to as 2.55 part 2 back then.

slate arrow
#

Yeah .56 is usually set up for the next expac

gloomy ice
#

Still labeled as .56 in the patch notes though lol

stray dawn
left moth
#

should have got an i90 set. if accessories are keeping you down try to get ironworks ones (poetics)

simple shore
#

You didnt open the coffer

#

Its in your inventory

#

Open that, and it should have a full set of ilvl 90 left-side gear

stray dawn
#

oh wow, I thought that box was like a cosmetic box LuL

#

thank you very much thumbsup_parrot

warped nest
#

Your next order of business, imo, should be getting an ironwork WHM weapon with poetics tomestone

stray dawn
#

what location is the vender of tomestone?

warped nest
#

One handed wand + shield is no longer a thing from lvl 50 onward

gloomy ice
#

Mor Dhona. North of the aetheryte.

warped nest
#

!faq poetics

zinc orbitBOT
left moth
#

ironworks vendor is in mor dohut 22.7, 6.7

#

weapon requires tokens (which is a different npc from the one that sells the weapon but it's all there). augmentation is done in north shroud because reasons

warped nest
#

Don't brake on your MSQ and grind poetics tomestone for the ironwork weapon, with the i90 from the coffer, you are covered for the time being. Just grab the i120 weapon once you got the resources required for it

stray dawn
#

i'll check out the efficient farm vid

left moth
#

don't worry too much. you'll replace things as you do msq

#

ironworks just makes it easier to avoid throwing things away

warped nest
#

Doing the msq roulette daily will give you 500-600. And please don't grind for it, you have enough item level for the time being as you have multiple i90 pieces from the coffer

stray dawn
#

roger

boreal aurora
#

can i get lvl60-70 gatherer gear with yellow scrips?

warped nest
#

Yes

boreal aurora
#

where tho

gloomy ice
#

60 stuff is in Idyllshire. 70 should be available from the 70 gear section if you have it unlocked. Rhalgr's if you don't.

warped nest
#

Scrip vendor in the starting cities should have them too

boreal aurora
#

i need rowena token blue gatherer scrip it says

gloomy ice
#

Yep. Those are in I think the level 58 items section.

boreal aurora
#

i dont see where the tokens are

gloomy ice
#

Hmmm. It's one of the items sections 😅

#

Try 60?

#

I forget off hand

#

But yes you need to buy blue tokens with your yellow scrips

#

They're relatively cheap.

boreal aurora
#

i dont see it tho

#

where is it

#

oh wait

#

it was in others section

#

😅

gloomy ice
#

Unfortunately, the level 60 sets are class locked. It is decent enough for a start though.

lime geode
#

Are any of the blue+ quests at Revenant's Toll worth doing before finishing the whole MSQ? There are a ton of them. Happy to save them for later if it doesn't matter

whole wasp
#

If it has a recycle sign in it. It doesnt really matter.

lime geode
#

No - it's the normal Blue + symbol. Just so many of them it's somewhat overwhelming.

whole wasp
#

If its bluequest you can consider doing it.

lime geode
#

Yeah, that one.

whole wasp
#

Hmm. Do the labyrinth of the ancients one at least. I think it starts there.

#

Thats the 24 man alliance raid.

lime geode
#

Just feels crazy as it's usually one or two in a new place. It's like 10 when you get to Revenant's toll.

#

FYI Just got to Heavensward.

whole wasp
#

Yea. It was the endgame hub for 2.0

lime geode
#

Ah ic.

#

Makes sense.

whole wasp
#

Anyway. You can come back later at 80 and blitz them. Do LoTA. The rest dont matter.

lime geode
#

Thanks

#

how do i do current level instead of proceeding

obsidian patio
#

You make another file to run it again

#

So for spamming floors 1-10 you’d delete the file and then start another run

#

Same for 51-60 once you unlock those floors

kind eagle
#

do 1 -50 again?

oak ice
#

Once you beat floor 50 you can start immediately from 51

warped nest
#

Once you clear 51-60 once, you can do a short quest and unlock the ability to start a new save from floor 51

kind eagle
#

i clear 51

#

but rn im too weak to continue or something

where's idle shire? for weekly stamp

#

Khloe

simple shore
#

That's in heavensward zones. Considering you arent even done with base ARR, you have aways to go before you get there

stray dawn
#

I see

#

i was viewing the 'Farming Poetics Efficiently' vid

simple shore
#

You really shouldnt concern yourself with farming poetics at this stage of things.

#

They're far more useful to alt jobs than to mains. The MSQ for ARR will furnish you with sufficient gear to keep going through the rest of it, and you'll get a handful of poetics as you go through it which will be enough to upgrade the slots that you want

stray dawn
leaden ginkgo
#

there's no Idealized weapon right?

boreal aurora
#

where is the npc to unlock limsa lominsa leves

ashen agate
#

i has question

#

yesterday my 2nd job had +160% xp bonus, but today its back to +60% how come

marble drift
#

no @leaden ginkgo there is not

#

there is a relic weapon available

boreal aurora
#

nvm

dense pier
#

Where do I get the slime event items?

marble drift
#

@ashen agate what level is your 2nd job?

dense pier
#

I got the slime hat

simple shore
#

There's a variety of possible explanations depending on what bonus you lost.

ashen agate
#

64 now, its GNB

marble drift
#

Did you run out of rested experiance?

simple shore
#

And what level is your other job?

ashen agate
#

my PLD is 63

simple shore
#

There's your answer

marble drift
#

thats why then

simple shore
#

Armory bonus is conferred to any job that is lower level than your highest level job

ashen agate
#

ah, so its better to get my pld to 80 first

simple shore
#

Thus your PLD will have the bonus currently - until it hits 64, at which point neither will have it. Once one of them advances higher, the other will have it again.

marble drift
#

so just play whatever you want to level first

#

and go through the MSQ with that

stable herald
#

For RDM, as I raise my mana levels, do I try to keep them similar or should i bring one up to 80 first then the other?

ashen agate
#

gotcha, just hit SB

simple shore
#

Its essential that you keep them balanced

stable herald
#

But isnt the proc based on it being imbalanced?

simple shore
#

If you get one too high above the other, you'll see the crystal on your gauge switch to White or Black. This indicates you will take a penalty on mana gains of the other color.

stable herald
#

I see

simple shore
#

iirc its like, 35 or 40 above the other that you run into trouble.

stable herald
#

So mantain them both. Gotcha.

marble drift
#

alot of red mage rotations just alternate between spells iirc

#

so its mostly even by default

stable herald
#

And the AoE, feels kinda meh, it's one color then both then do the spinning thing when it's up?

simple shore
#

AoE rotation for RDM is

#

Verthunder 2 OR Veraero 2 -> Scatter (scatter is later replaced by impact)

stable hinge
#

how does dragoon and ninja rank in damage output for DPS classes?

simple shore
#

If there are only 2 targets, do Jolt -> Scatter (later Jolt 2 -> Impact)

marble drift
#

dragoon slightly higher

simple shore
#

So just alternate which element you are starting with for 3+ targets

marble drift
#

by like...under 100dps iirc

#

seriously. don't get into that mentality

#

just play whats fun

simple shore
#

then dump mana with moulinet. Its usually best to stack your mana up for a big pull rather than use it as you have it

stable hinge
#

I play both im just curious

marble drift
#

bosses will die if you're good

stable hinge
#

my Nin is 74 and my DRK is 52

leaden ginkgo
#

The relic weapon partners the Artifact gear right? I really don't care bout the stats

#

I'm just really OC when it comes to Armor pairing

dense pier
#

boreal aurora
#

to use the crafting class in restoration of ishgard i need it to be atleast lvl20 right

stable herald
#

@simple shore why stack, rather than burn

simple shore
#

Well, generally in post-ARR dungeons, you're going to have tanks/healers doing big pulls, right? The idea being - try to have yourself high on the gauge for the bigger ones so you can dump a bunch of moulinets into them while everything is still up

#

If you just spend it as you have it, you'll oftentimes be hitting a pull thats half-dead already and with some of the targets already killed

marble drift
#

you need X mana to get the enhanced attacks all in a row anyway right?

#

like..80?

simple shore
#

Nah

#

Moulinet is 20/20

#

so you can use it as you have it - or save it because you know a much larger pull is coming

stable herald
#

I wasnt sure since, on the usual first big wall to wall, Im defo not havin any mana

stray dawn
marble drift
#

yeh

#

no need to keep em

stable herald
#

So I thought it was spend it as soon as i had it since by the time i had enough to spam, most of the pack should be dead

simple shore
#

So, before you do anything....

#

@stray dawn i notice that none of those things are flagged as being part of gear sets

stable herald
#

Sell em low level trash

simple shore
#

You need to start using that feature if you want to not lose your mind with gear management

stable hinge
#

why not deconstruct them

stable herald
#

Oops. Yeah desynth them

stray dawn
#

how do you do that?

stable herald
#

My mind said desynth, my fingers said nah

stable hinge
#

have you got lv50 with any crafters?

stray dawn
#

and im using 'recommended gear' xD

#

no, 1st time so only whm at lv 50

#

Are you just starting out?

you wont be able to then

#

What server are ya on?

why isn't my gear getting spiritbond progress?

stable hinge

I think it takes a while to bind

simple shore
#

You only gain spiritbond when fighting things (or crafting/gathering things) comparable to your gears level.

leaden ginkgo
#

oh, I see

stable herald
#

Ah. Cant help with levelling crafters then. Sry friend

leaden ginkgo
#

I should find higher level stuff to kill then

simple shore
#

So for example - on my level 80 jobs that are wearing full neo-ish gear, i'll get nothing or next to nothing out of anything but the highest of 80 dungeons/raids

marble drift
#

I think I spiritbonded my edenchoir stuff twice over doin Shiva prog

#

from the adds

simple shore
#

or, if i craft a level 50 item on my level 70-ish crafter, it will gain nothing out of it spiritbond wise

any way to check besides doing that?

no

marble drift
#

when the relics were current. there was a website for it

boreal aurora
#

is all ishgard crafting minimum lvl20

marble drift
#

but thats long since closed

twilit arch
#

yes, min lvl for ishgard crafting is lvl 20

#

at this point there's really no point in keeping track of light windows. the recommended way of doing light is generally running tam tara or ifrit normal

marble drift
#

ifrit normal is SUPER fast.

Do any of the masterbook gather items from SB/HW show up in ShB?

What tank class makes the most sense to play Stormblood with from a story/lore perspective? In Heavensward for example ||I played dark knight and I was helping and fighting the temple knights at the same time in the MSQ and job quest, and I thought that was kind of stupid.|| I have PLD75, DRK 65, WAR 65, GNB 60, getting towards the end of Stormblood but I want too stay with one class for a while now.

marble drift
#

Eh I'd personally say warrior or paladin.

#

but if this is your shtick you'll want dark knight to go into shadowbringers

#

which would...mostly work too

#

I'd just go Dark knight till the end tbh

just checked a price of a approved material

wonder why its so high on mb

#

if its so easy to get

#

ormaybe its not so common or something

obsidian patio
#

check the purchase history, someone may have recently bought out all the cheap ones

simple shore
#

Pretty much it comes down to, people want to power level their crafters but they dont want to timesink getting the materials themselves. Same reason any materials are worth as much as they are. Restoration simply provided a relatively unified set of mats for everyone rather than the plethora of items from before.

#

The materials are very easy to get - but its a time/boredom thing. Some people simply cannot tolerate grinding on gatherers.

#

and even if you can, its still a several hour slog of farming to get through each level range. if you have the money and dont need to level your gatherers at the same time, you might prefer to purchase the time rather than spend it yourself

When you submit materials into the FC processing station for@Company Project, is there a record of who delivered what?

Scarcity and usefulness is what drives prices in any system ever

gotta be one of most useless items ingame then

gloomy mortar
#

FC chest is full of items marked “Grade 2 Skybuilder Approved” what does that mean?

simple shore
#

Those are ishgardian restoration crafting materials

molten anchor
#

that comes from the ishgard restoration, its a crafter gatherer event

simple shore
#

They're useful only for doing those crafts

boreal aurora
#

the thing with restoration of ishgard is u have to keep your gear up2date to do it

simple shore
#

Ehhhh not really

boreal aurora
#

while leves i can just buy from mb

simple shore
#

Like, you have to a little bit, but

#

I recently went through it myself. From 50-71 i was using just the 51 and 61 vendor gear/tools. Far cheaper than buying leve turnins

#

Do you need your gear to be better to be able to use the macros that do it for you? Sure. But if you manually craft you can easily hit the required collectability thresholds just by understanding how to craft.

boreal aurora
#

well i just did it with npc gear at my low lvl

gloomy mortar
#

Beginning crafting: All I do is 1) Muscle Memory, Inner Peace, Waste Not II, Innovation, Standard Touch (repeat), Trick of Trade when available to 100% quality, Masters Mend, Standard Synthesis to completion

boreal aurora
#

but hitting only the required 50 collectiblity or so

#

cant get the more for the double exp lol

#

but doesnt matter anyway

gloomy mortar
#

Am I missing out on any crafting moves?

thorny spruce
#

whats coolest things i can buy with centurio seals?

#

im doubting to farm em

simple shore
#

Well, the way you're doing it, you're wasting some of your Waste Not

#

TL;DR on Waste Not 2 - you want to use one (and only one) tricks or other ability after you put it up.

#

The reason for this is that your durability starts ending on a 0 - but by doing so, it will end on a 5. This essentially is an entire extra step gained.

boreal aurora
#

lol this guy just spammed lvlups from lvl30 to 54

#

can u even make gil with crafting if it became so easy nowadays

simple shore
#

So the first good you see, you can tricks. Or if you want to be less RNG dependent, you can put up Waste Not 2 first, and then Inner Quiet as you next ability so that you have guaranteed used one non-durability ability during it.

#

Any goods you get after that, are best used on Precise Touch, because they give 2 inner quiet stacks instead of 1.

#

Innovation can be saved for the end to boost your Byregot's

#

Basically you just want to get your stacks as high as possible, then Innovation/Great Strides a Byregots

gloomy mortar
#

I don’t understand how Byregots works.

simple shore
#

Byregots gives quality based on the number of Inner Quiet stacks, and it scales exponentially

#

A Byregots at 10/11 stacks with Innovation + Great Strides oftentimes will hit for as much as the entire quality bar.

gloomy mortar
#

How does Inner Quiet stack? What is a stack

simple shore
#

Inner Quiet stacks every time you use an ability that improves quality

#

Normally you only get 1 stack. Precise Touch (which can only be used when condition is Good) gives 2. etc.

boreal aurora
#

but can u still make good gil tho

simple shore
#

One sec, i'll screencap the buff

gloomy mortar
#

Innovation increases quality for the next 4 turns, so why would you save Innovation for the end?

simple shore
#

because Byregots doesnt scale linearly

wintry chasm
#

For byregot's blessing

simple shore
#

Its an exponential scale. I will show you in a sec

wintry chasm
#

Yeah inner quiet stacks also exponentially increases your control stat

simple shore
#

Okay, so im doing my Stormblood crafter quests to catch up, but here's the window. I'm at 9 stacks of inner Quiet. Look at the numbers on each ability.

#

and thats without applying Innovation/Great Strides yet

wintry chasm
#

So if you get a lot of stacks of that, like 10, then add that into innovation and then times the Byregot's blessing potency with 10 stacks that is 10000000 quality

#

Oh yeah great strides to double it all up

simple shore
#

Here it is with Innovation/Great Strides

gloomy mortar
#

What is ‘Efficiency’?

simple shore
#

Efficiency is just a way of referring to the power of the ability. Its like potency on weaponskills.

wintry chasm
#

^

#

Taking into account buffs increasing it

#

So the efficiency of a skill with no buffs is 100%

#

But if there was a skill that increased it by 20% the efficiency of the same skill would be 120% efficiency

simple shore
#

So pretty much all crafting comes down to - get your progress to within one hit of finishing, get as high of stacks of inner quiet as possible, and then apply as many buffs as possible to a Byregots while on the second to last step

#

and then finish the progress on the final step

boreal aurora
#

looks like i need some lucky hasty touches to get over 79 collectibility

#

its always 60% right

simple shore
#

Yes

wintry chasm
#

(I miss steady hand)

gloomy mortar
#

So basically use standard touch to take you to ~60% quality, then use Byregots to bring it to 100%?

wintry chasm
#

Nah

#

Use standard touch to take you to as much inner quiet as possible don't think about the bar really

#

Byregot's blessing will probably do more than 40% of the bar anyway

simple shore
#

Yeah the bar isnt a factor at all. Byregots with sufficient stacks may well do (as you can see in the screenshot) more than the bar actually contains

boreal aurora
#

man why couldnt they put MB in ishgard restoration place

simple shore
#

if you dont have Manipulation yet, that means using Waste Not 2, using 1 non-durability ability during it, and then using Standard/Precise as applicable to maximize your stacks. Replace Standard with Hasty if your CP is not good.

boreal aurora
#

yikes this material that i need for one of crafters costs 2.5k ea

#

cant afford that

simple shore
#

Make sure that you will have 74 CP at least at the end for the Innovation/Great Strides/Byregot

wintry chasm
#

@boreal aurora level gathering

grim adder
#

What are end game foods that people pay for?

simple shore
#

Anyway, once you pick up Manipulation from the Stormblood questlines, you can stop using Waste Not 2, and instead use Manipulation + Prudent Touch (replace all other touches with this)

lyric kraken
#

what option do i pick to upgrade my novus relic weapon to the next step?

gloomy mortar
#

How does manipulation work? Currently, my crafters are all~70-80, from GC turn ins, haven’t done the crafter job quests, and most of what I’m crafting is ~10 levels below skill

simple shore
#

Manipulation restores 5 durability after each step. Prudent costs only 5 durability per usage. The application of that should be obvious.

#

While those are up you effectively are locking in your durability at its current number

gloomy mortar
#

Ovim Meatballs

simple shore
#

You'll need to get to 65 in the Crafter questlines to unlock it though

nova beacon
#

whats shadobringer collectiors edition?

simple shore
#

So until you do, Waste Not 2 with Standard/Hasty/Precise is the correct option

gloomy mortar
#

Ok thanks 🍺

simple shore
#

Also, consider opening your craft with Reflect instead of Muscle Memory. More often than not, 3 inner quiet stacks are more valuable than the progress

#

24 CP for 3 stacks vs. 18 CP for 1 stack

#

At least for what you're doing

wintry chasm

gloomy mortar

Yeah QA

grim adder
#

Is there a specific rotation of skills for getting botany collectibles because I still have no idea what im doing ?

wintry chasm
#

I wouldn't call it crazy but I certainly can feel the increase in likelihood

simple shore
#

I'd say....its like, its not going to cause you go have goods coming out of your eyeballs or anything, but you're far less likely to have one of those cursed crafts where you get to step 17 and havent seen the condition change once yet.

#

Either way you're going to get it regardless and you dont have to do anything to have it active

wintry chasm
#

@grim adder for level 80 I found this from 5.0. It'd be outdated with the new gear since then but the rotation shouldn't be vastly different tbh

#

This is for like, 800GP

gloomy mortar
#

How important is control? For example, the price difference between Control Materia 5 & 6 is $2000 vs $10000. Similarly, Level 74 tools and Level 77 tools.

lyric kraken
#

its the same for 5.3.

simple shore
#

Materia shouldnt be something you need to be investing in before hitting 80. That said, control is very important

wintry chasm
#

Control is probably second most important stat tbh

#

Wouldn't sweat about materia till endgame

#

If you have some bits and bobs in terms of materia go meld them in your leveling gear but that's it

simple shore
#

Control is effectively the force-multiplier for all of your quality actions.

simple shore
#

That's incorrect

#

Its not working because of the brackets

#

/ac "Basic Synthesis"

#

that's what you need

boreal aurora
#

“[basic” is not a valid action name.

lime geode
#

Good idea Admiral - ill do that

gloomy mortar
#

I used /action for my macros and it worked

simple shore
#

Yes, but /ac also works

boreal aurora
#

ah i see thx

simple shore
#

ac vs. action was not the reason it was not working

boreal aurora
#

yes

#

/ac "Basic Synthesis"
/ac "Basic Synthesis"

#

but its only using skill once

simple shore
#

You need more in your macro

#

one sec

gloomy mortar
#

I did:

simple shore
#

/ac "Basic Synthesis" <wait.3>

gloomy mortar
#

Yeah that

#

The wait

acoustic island
#

can only one retainer do max lvl wood venture

simple shore
#

That's how you do it if you want it to be part of macro that does multiple crafting actions

#

Every line needs to end with <wait.3>

#

Except for buffs, which can end with <wait.2>

gloomy mortar
#

Can you do <wait.2>?

boreal aurora
#

oh

gloomy mortar
#

What’s a buff

simple shore
#

i.e. Inner Quiet can be a <wait.2>

#

but Touches or Synths should be a <wait.3>

#

That said, a <wait.3> is always safe.

#

Further advice on crafting macros - dont use them if you have a laggy connection.

gloomy mortar
#

Do you have to press the macro button each time? Or can you set up multiple?

simple shore
#

If you build the macro correctly, you press it once per craft

gloomy mortar
#

For ex I made 30 HQ ingots

#

Ah

simple shore
#

But you cannot have a macro that loops into the next one, nor one that initiates a craft on its own

boreal aurora
#

lmao

#

so i tested the macro

#

but on ishgard

#

rip

#

forgot about collectibility

#

cheap material so its fine

gloomy mortar
#

lol

lime geode
#

Is the quickest way to check if stuff is less than 100 gil to give it to my retainer and try to sell it?

#

Rinse & repeat?

simple shore
#

huh?

#

Your question is unclear

lime geode
#

Sry admirals idea 🙂

gloomy mortar
#

Yeah,

lime geode
#

I'm picking up a convo from 10m ago lol

gloomy mortar
#

Yeah, I do that too

lime geode
#

k, thx

gloomy mortar
#

Sell items from inventory, then check prices, check history.

lime geode
#

yeah price check, if it's valuable, sell it, otherwise set it aside for the vendor

frozen estuary
#

Hello, i wanted to ask which edition i need to buy to get the full version of the game 🙂

gloomy mortar
#

If getting to be a chore doing this, from your picture, I’d keep all the potions for using yourself, keep the glamour prisms, envelope, coffer and Phoenix down. Some of the potions may be worth money and you can sell them through your retainers 💃

#

anyone wanna help with palace of dead? wanna grind as high as possible no matching fixed

#

@gloomy mortar Thanks - I have 3 other pages to go through as well 😄

#

it's not too bad

gloomy mortar
#

If you join a Free Company, they usually have a npc who can sell you animal hides and voidsent blood, etc. So basically sell anything that you can rebuy for cheap 🧉

lime geode
#

Where do I find said NPC?

frozen estuary
#

can someone answer me? i know its monthly pay to play, but which edition do i have to buy first without the dlc?

shrewd owl
#

starter edition i believe is just the base game

gloomy mortar
#

If you join a free company, they should have that npc inside the FC house

lime geode
#

Yes, and complete is everything Akine

frozen estuary
#

starter edition i believe is just the base game
@shrewd owl does it include the first month of playing or do i have to pay for 30 days additionally?

shrewd owl
#

it comes with 30 free days of playtime

frozen estuary
#

okay, cool. thank you!

lime geode
#

I've never gone to the FC house, heh

#

Just joined a random invite.

gloomy mortar
#

Also, in the description, if it says “Selling price $x”, that means it’s sold by vendors in the markets, so easy to rebuy. For example, I saved Rubber for the longest time until I realize you can buy it at any market for $18 lol

lime geode
#

So random. Garlean steel join - 1k gil. Garlean steel plate - 30 gil. Guessing its for crafting.

proud willow
#

low value crafting mats will occasionally spike in price if someone needs like 100 of them and buys them all regardless of price

#

they usually drop in price again pretty fast

gloomy mortar
#

Yeah, another way is to google the high priced item “(item) ff14 wiki a realm reborn”. And see what craft it is used for. If the craft is way out of your crafting range, sell it. If close, keep.

#

hi I'm a new player, to make the most out of my road to 70 buff should I be swapping between another class while doing msq to avoid overleveling?

boreal aurora
#

i take back that leves are better

#

ishgard is crazy fast

#

especially i can get enought collectibility now for double the routine

#

or sometimes max

kind eagle
#

can i get SAM?

tidal yarrow
#

I sold things on mb, It said I got like 15k but my gil didn't increase

grave belfry
#

your retrainer should have the money

#

you can withdraw them if need

tidal yarrow
#

ohh okay

#

what's the difference of having 2 retainers instead of 1?

azure kettle
#

Floor 51-60 doesn't seem as good for XP as I've heard, is there a better method

#

Double the space

median locust
#

51-60 is better than sitting in queue for 20min just for one dungeon

#

if you can get 5min or less queues (healer or tank friend) then that's gonna be better exp

#

If you're a healer or a tank just run the highest level dungeon you have available

kind eagle
#

how to get Scion Adventurer's Jacket

median locust
#

2 retainers means you can get items from 2 retainer jobs when doing ventures. Also that, you get double ventures, double the selling space, double the storage, etc

#

Scion Adventurer's Jacket is from MSQ

ocean pilot
#

how valuable is tenacity melding on tanks? heard its the same stat as determination, just with added damage reduction to it

median locust
#

It's worse than det and doesn't really do much

kind eagle
#

what level msq

ocean pilot
#

so the extra tankiness is not worth the trade-off of lower dmg?

median locust
#

I remember reading that focusing on Tenacity would give you a passive 5% mitigation

#

Which is useless unless the 5% would actually save your healer heals

#

which it won't

#

5% won't make the difference between life and death ever

#

@kind eagle Post Heavensward MSQ, so 60

signal prism
#

There is pickpocket in the game? I just got pickpocketed

median locust
#

There isn't

#

how do you know you got pickpocketed

kind eagle
#

lol

signal prism
#

In the chatbox there is this "XX pickpockets 500,000 gil from <me> and runs away

#

so its just some emote thing?

median locust
#

Someone made an emote command with that text on it

signal prism
#

Ah okay

median locust
#

you can do it too with /emote or /em

vivid wolf
#

So i'm kinda losing track of what to do with all the blue quests popping up after finishing the 2.0 story

#

any tips?

#

seems like most of those blue quests span over multiple quests too

median locust
#

as in what to prioritise?

vivid wolf
#

yeah

molten anchor
#

by blue quests you mean the ones with the + on them right?

median locust
#

If you've got Legacy of Allag I'd do that

vivid wolf
#

did a few of them, seems to mostly be 'finish x on hard mode'

median locust
#

It unlocks the first 24-man raids which are basically just 24 player dungeons

#

And the story for them is very important for the Shadowbringers story later

#

In fact it's going to be mandatory for MSQ progress with the next patch lol

molten anchor
#

most of those are old dungeons and the such, i wouldn't worry too hard about doing all of them right away. there are a few good ones like legacy of allag as mentioned though

vivid wolf
#

alright, i also got a quest that requires me to do the ultimate weapon fight all over again, but the queue time is 30min+

#

do i just skip that?

median locust
#

I'd also do the Hard mode primal fights that starts with Ifrit (Hard), these are mandatory for MSQ very soon

#

Ok so, Minstrel's Ballad and Extreme difficulty fights are basically old endgame fights

#

You don't queue for those

molten anchor
#

its hard to duty finder the ex trials of old content

forest laurel
#

ultima extreme? don't do it, do it unsynced later at like

#

lvl 80

median locust
#

They're not in any roulettes so they'll be very hard to get a group for

#

The mechanics also tend to be way harder than your usual trial

#

Wiping a lot is expected

vivid wolf
#

is minstrel's ballad a solo duty?

median locust
#

no

#

8-man

molten anchor
#

if you really want to experience it as it was inteneded you'd have to use party finder, but its hard getting a group together for that sort of thing since there is no strict advantage to doing that over just unsyncing it

#

except for fun of course, but no one plays this game for that

#

./s

median locust
#

If you wanna check it off for completion, I'd put up a party finder for it asking to unsync it, and mentionning you have bonus

#

But for now it's really not important

#

Lowest priority on your list imo

#

If you unlock anything else that says Minstrel's Ballad or Extreme, skip it

molten anchor
#

the binding coil is like that too, but that has some good story implications so its a little higher priority than the others

median locust
#

Binding Coils of Bahamut are also old raids and you shouldn't queue for them, but I'd recommend running those unsynced with a group eventually, the story is good

#

Definitely start with the Legacy of Allag quest and the Crystal Tower raids though

vivid wolf
#

alright, those shouldn't be too bad

wintry chasm
#

Yeah you should always do the raids for an expansion before moving onto the next tbh. Coils is going to be the hardest one to get a party for but if you just say unsynced and first time bonus it should be fine

vivid wolf
#

gonna try to progress msq at the same time too

#

need to get to ishgard for that bard job quest

wintry chasm
#

Not like you need that job quest

median locust
#

Take your time on the post-2.0 quests, there's a ton of them

#

And yeah you don't need your 52 skill until you unlock lv52 content

molten anchor
#

it probably comes with a skill though

median locust
#

Which is gonna be heavensward lol

wintry chasm
#

A skill they can't use in any content until Heavensward Pig

molten anchor
#

open world is a thing, especially for the msq, but yeah its not really that big of a deal. i get why they would want it though

vivid wolf
#

52 unlocks wanderer's minuet i think

wintry chasm
#

Yeah but even in the open world they'll be obliterating mobs instantly

vivid wolf
#

so now i have that arrow, but nothing to charge it with

median locust
#

Yeah it doesn't matter

#

You'll be running lv50 content until you clear the 100 quests between 2.0 and Heavensward

#

and won't be able to use it anyway

#

Other than for open world content but meh

agile laurel
#

brd leveling is kinda depressing like that

jolly sorrel
#

Since there's a delay on fairy abilities, do I need to wait between clicking Illumination and WD? Does it even affect eachother?

agile laurel
#

i believe it should

#

as a general rule of thumb for smn/sch I try not to put 2 in the same gcd

#

smn opener is the way it is mostly to account for the pet being dumb as hell

jolly sorrel
#

Okay, so just Illumination, throw any instant, and then WD

agile laurel
#

works for me. it's probably not optimal but i don't play sch to a high degree so it just works

azure kettle
#

Does rdm keep up with other dps or at least have the utility to do so?

kind eagle
#

Where the best place to earn gil

median locust
#

All jobs are viable and do adequate DPS

median locust
#

RDM has the lowest damage of all 3 casters but it's not low enough to make it not wanted

Meta Jobs FAQ

All jobs are good and viable in all content. The difference between meta and non-meta is minor, to the point that player skill is a significantly more important factor. Play what you enjoy/what interests you most, and you can make it work.

Click here for the best jobs in the game though

median locust
#

^ Good Red Mage will beat a bad Summoner or Black Mage

#

skill >>>>>>>> the job you play

simple shore
#

RDM is also, for lack of a better way of saying it, "easier" to master than those other two.

slate arrow
#

If people start trying to diss you for playing RDM in party finder you can toss the support desk at them for harassment or something

agile laurel
#

Why exactly are there multiple datacenters per region?

#

Like, why not just put all the worlds in one each?

jolly sorrel
#

@kind eagle If you're just starting out, just be sure to do your daily roulettes. They give a big amount

slate arrow
#

@agile laurel that's harder than it sounds

#

technology is a fickle thing

agile laurel
#

only occurred to me cause WoW can do it

#

so like. was there any reason beside haha spaghetti

slate arrow
#

FFXIV has a lot more data compared to WoW per character

#

you can't just merge the databases and expect everything to be fine

wintry chasm
#

Maybe the tech housing the data centers are just too small as well

#

For all worlds on one

hazy flint
#

which beast tribe gives crafter exp from 70+

agile laurel
#

just seemed a little backward was all. oh well

slate arrow
#

They're doing their best, but the server team can only do so much. They are looking into setting up cross datacenter stuff eventually, but it's probably gonna be a late 5.x or 6.x patch at this rate

#

@hazy flint dwarves in 5.3

agile laurel
#

oh, that is interesting

slate arrow
#

Not even 5.x tbh due to COVID

agile laurel
#

yeah understandable

kind eagle
#

Why is this

slate arrow
#

probably a next expansion thing

kind eagle
#

still level 10?

#

how do i earn moneyh

agile laurel
#

Guildhest roulette mad sucks

simple shore
#

You really shouldnt be doing that

agile laurel
#

it's generally ignorable

slate arrow
#

@kind eagle that's just the minimum level

kind eagle
#

then what is the money roulette

agile laurel
#

it's the one roulette that really shouldn't exist

#

any of them

kind eagle
#

casino?

slate arrow
#

The daily reward still scales to your level

jolly sorrel
#

The gil reward doesnt.

agile laurel
#

Roulette is a slightly unfortunate term - don't consider it in the casino context of the word

kind eagle
simple shore
#

As far as I am aware, you're a fairly low level / not progressed far in the MSQ. Making money shouldnt really be a concern for you at this stage

kind eagle
#

i progress

jolly sorrel
#

That said, if you do all roulettes daily, you get about 1M per month. If that's a lot of money to you, do it.

kind eagle
#

quite far already

agile laurel
#

when it says duty roulette it just means random duty

jolly sorrel
#

It adds up

slate arrow
#

Have you beated Castrum Merridtiam and The Praetorium yet?

kind eagle
#

i need 2m gil

simple shore
#

Basically there's almost nothing you need to be spending gil on until you finish the entire MSQ.

kind eagle
#

idk whats that

slate arrow
#

You're not far enough :)

#

Please keep doing your MSQ

jolly sorrel
#

Doing the entire MSQ will net you... about 6M in quest rewards, I think? Not sure, dont have the numbers ready

simple shore
#

Yeah if you dont know what those are you're not even out of the base-ARR content yet. idk what you need 2mil gil for, but you probably dont need to be spending it yet.

kind eagle
#

no

#

msq is exhausting

jolly sorrel
#

The ARR MSQ should get you about 2~3M in quest rewards already

slate arrow
#

then we can't help you, unfortunately.

agile laurel
#

well msq is kinda what you'll have to do

kind eagle
#

i think i completed arr
