You need the motion

open coral
#

Make a cross-server party in PF and I'll find you @jaunty bear

lyric warren
#

@vagrant copper aaah nice now it works GWgoaMonikaSmug

jaunty bear
#

Okay

#

@open coral its up

white bronze
#

Is there a way to use the number keys on the side instead of the ones on top on my keyboard?

jaunty bear
#

@white bronze you can remap them

#

they are seperate keybinds ^^

lyric warren
#

how do i use a emote icon to be transferred to the macro?

void fossil
#

A friend told me the Fairy Beast Tribe quests are good but what series of quests was he referring to? Are they like the ARR beast tribe?

vagrant copper
#

ShB beast tribe

#

@lyric warren /micon "playdead" emote

hardy abyss
#

I've done the pre-req quests for the "Stewards of note" displayed below for Quitari quest line, but the actual quest I just said isn't there

#

not done SHB story fully yet it that matters

open coral
#

@jaunty bear Sooo... apparently I never did the prerequisite trials on my EU toon. Sorry. 😩

lyric warren
vagrant copper
#

You did the second quote wrong

lyric warren
#

now its /micon "playdead" emote but still nada

vagrant copper
#

And that's in your macro?

lyric warren
#

ye top row

open coral
#

Try using /micon atlplaydead atr

white bronze
#

Yea so I set up my directional but now the camera won't accordingly

vagrant copper
#

It might also be "play dead" instead. IDK. can't try right now

open coral
#

Sometimes the game gets a little touchy about how you input specific names of things

lyric warren
#

@vagrant copper ye /micon "play dead" emote worked!

Hello i am aworld of warcraft Refugee mainly a pvp player but recently i have fallen in love wit the pve in FFXIV and just wonder how i can check which guild is good , and has a good small clean community.

molten spruce
#

how do i obtain the BiS weaver gear?

#

Hello i am aworld of warcraft Refugee mainly a pvp player but recently i have fallen in love wit the pve in FFXIV and just wonder how i can check which guild is good , and has a good small clean community.
@reef frigate Usually you just have to join it and twst their community, a guild can have a good reputation and still be shit and have toxic ppl

obsidian patio
#

BiS is melded facet gear and the i430 belt and accessories.

#

Both of which are crafted

reef frigate
#

@molten spruce Thank you <3.

molten spruce
#

so with that i can craft myself a neo ishgardian?

obsidian patio
#

Yes, but you’ll likely spend more Gil getting the stats to be able to make it than just buying it directly

molten spruce
#

yeah but i want to sell BiS crafted sets in the future

#

make some gil

#

i heard they are really expensive when they drop initially

#

@molten spruce Thank you <3.
@reef frigate imho guilds with less ppl are better, they help more and feel more like a family than guilds with loads of ppl, those feel like a community rather than a family and you will most likely leave those type of guilds

reef frigate
#

@molten spruce I thought so its like wow Ye i might consider joining small ones recently gotten addicted to ffxiv Still a noob xD

molten spruce
#

im an ESO refugee, never going back, sure pvp sucks compared to ESO but this game is QUALITY, best mmorpg

white bronze
#

Is there like a keyboard tutorial in the game cuz this is stressful

molten spruce
#

not really

#

iim sure ppl here can help

lyric warren
#

can u loop a emote in macros? like the Tombstone emote or reading a book ?

molten spruce
#

im on controller so idk ab keyboard

#

idk how you guys have the finger range of pressing all those keys while moving

marble drift
#

we use 2 hands?

vagrant copper
#

No looping in macros

molten spruce
#

yea but how do u press key 9 while moving and rotating PoV

#

that sound like a twister to ur finger

raw solstice
#

usually you rebind keys around wasd and/or use modifiers

#

or use an mmo mouse

vagrant copper
#

Don't have things bound out of reach that you need when moving đŸ€·â€â™‚ïž

median inlet
#

I don't have the 'Towards the firmament' quest available (For Ishgard Restoration) although I beat hW

raw solstice
#

or a combination

marble drift
#

lol no-one binds key 9 Xul

#

I stop at 6

molten spruce
#

I don't have the 'Towards the firmament' quest available (For Ishgard Restoration) although I beat hW
@median inlet that is after hw

#

end of dragonsong line

little swift
#

you need to be past patch 3.3 quest (Litany of Peace)

marble drift
#

and bind the keys that were 7,8 and 9 to other things

median inlet
#

Gotcha'

molten spruce
#

Gotcha'
@median inlet dont skip those texts and cutscenes, that storyline is great

median inlet
#

I don't intend on

lyric warren
frigid sigil
#

what's good way to find social linkshells

raw solstice
#

yeah something like that will work, it's just not really proper "looping" since it's not like persistent and only does it as many lines as the macro has

white bronze
#

Yea I'm tryna find a guide but so far I can't find one I can follow

leaden ginkgo
#

Is there like a keyboard tutorial in the game cuz this is stressful
a tutorial for what exactly? what to bind?

raw solstice
#

hmm I mean like, what would you want from a guide? Hotbar customization is a pretty personal thing, put what you want where it makes the most sense to you and is easiest for you. It's not a thing with a lot of depth or whatever, relatively straightforward. Is there anything in particular that you're struggling with?

white bronze
#

I wanna be able to move without cramping lol

raw solstice
#

you can like, rebind all the keys around wasd pretty easily if you want to hotbar slots, which are real easy to press while moving without any additional strain. Can also consider modifiers like shift, control, alt, or any combination of them, for additional keybinds

jaunty crescent
#

how do I put a marker on the map at specific coordinates by typing? there's a command for it right? that puts an x on your map

raw solstice
#

you can't by typing

#

you can control + right click on the map to place a flag to link a location

jaunty crescent
#

but can't you make those things that link to a place on the map

raw solstice
#

but you can't like type in coordinates to make a flag

jaunty crescent
#

like in hunt trains

raw solstice
#

yeah that's the control + right click thing

jaunty crescent
#

ye that

raw solstice
#

or if you click on someone else's linked coordinate you can share it with <flag>

vagrant copper
#

You can also use <pos> in chat to get the position of stuff

raw solstice
#

or your own position with <pos> yeah

white bronze
#

Like movement, strafing, camera control are like all different

#

Controller I jus picked up and was on my way lol

raw solstice
#

you would most likely greatly appreciate the legacy control scheme, since movement is like controller

#

up at the top, you can change between standard and legacy. Standard is a bit more tank controls, your character turns as you move your camera, pressing S will cause your character to backpedal. Legacy, if you press a direction you move in that direction, and you can turn your camera completely independently as desired

white bronze
#

I'll try that

tidal yarrow
#

how much are rebel boots on mb usually? can't check rn

leaden ginkgo
#

its dependent on data center and world iirc

tidal yarrow
#

I'd suggest standard over legacy cause movement looks a lot better :p

#

oh yeah rift, but usually for that it's always very similar

little swift
#

I prefer legacy for movement freedom

#

But this is a preference thing theres no right or wrong

vivid cosmos
#

Is waiting 100mins normal for deltascape v.4 (savage)?

raw solstice
#

mmhmm. I mainly recommended legacy since they were coming from controller, and legacy is very similar to controller

static yacht
#

don't queue for extreme or savage

#

with duty finder

vagrant copper
#

Trying to queue for any EX, Savage, etc. with DF is a fool's errand

static yacht
#

no one queues for it

#

also old content 90% of the time it'll only be unsynced in party finder

vivid cosmos
#

RIP

#

Ugh I'm such an idiot! I just wanted the mount 😭

static yacht
#

do it unsynced in PF

little swift
#

Its old but its not easy

vivid cosmos
#

Pf?

little swift
#

Do unsync might attract more peoe

static yacht
#

party finder

little swift
#

People

tidal yarrow
#

I also use legacy! I find it more comfy, but looks a bit rough while moving

raw solstice
#

the only particular benefit standard has over legacy is ease of handling gazes. Movement-wise legacy is actually a bit simpler than standard. Since you don't have to worry about avoiding backwalking/having to strafe

sullen pulsar
#

is there some kind of requirement before you can access grand company provisioning missions?

static yacht
#

yes

sullen pulsar
#

everytime I check it say no more available

static yacht
#

let me double check the rank you need to be

white bronze
#

I guess I'm jus not used to gaming keyboard style

sullen pulsar
#

Are they only for gatherers?

white bronze
#

Like console has spoiled me

static yacht
#

crafters as well

vagrant copper
#

Aren't those provisioning missions also shared between people? So you have to compete with others and be thhere when they reset?

little swift
#

This game had controller support

sullen pulsar
#

I can do the supply mission

robust crow
#

with the crafting updates upcoming in 5.3, is it worth buying the level 80 white scrip gear right now?

#

crafting and gathering I mean

little swift
#

Aren't those provisioning missions also shared between people? So you have to compete with others and be thhere when they reset?
@vagrant copper no

#

They're individual

#

@sullen pulsar supply for crafter provisioning for gatherers

static yacht
#

@sullen pulsar you have to be Flame Private Third Class

#

/ storm private third class / whatever the last one private third class

#

@white bronze you cna play controller on this game even if you're on PC

sullen pulsar
#

ah OK thanks, I went in with a crafter. Don't have a gatherer yet

#

thanks all

white bronze
#

I bought a keyboard so I can play pc style on my ps4 but slowly regretting it lol

little swift
#

with the crafting updates upcoming in 5.3, is it worth buying the level 80 white scrip gear right now?
@robust crow if you have nothing to do with the scrips its not badto. If no plan's for heavy endgame crafting its ok too

robust crow
#

is it going to get powercrept right away when 5.3 drops?

little swift
#

The white scrip set with melded accs works perfectly fine for gatherera

marble drift
#

Real quick. what is the glamour notification in chat tied too? I want to turn it off but I dont know what heading its under

little swift
#

Some system message?

marble drift
#

yeah that seems most plausible but that'd turn everything else off no?

little swift
#

It usually gives an example of what text it is in the window

#

Need/greed rolls are their ownmessage iirc

#

Maybe glamour has its own

marble drift
#

yeah none of them demonstrate that however

raven sage
#

It's system messages

marble drift
#

yeah just tested. dang

obsidian patio
#

@robust crow yes, the new crafted set in 5.3 will most likely have better stats even when unmelded

marble drift
#

im not sure I should turn that off. it blanket-covers alot of things

#

ok good. interim fix. use another tab for system messages

#

because system messages don't cause the tab to blink. only chats

leaden ginkgo
#

Hi im Cluesless how to switch from ps4 to pc? should I buy the game form steam or tsquare-enix store?

marble drift
#

either

#

whatever you buy will determine how you buy everything else for it

ornate ginkgo
#

Anyone know of a Eureka Discord for the primal datacenter?

white bronze
#

I'mma jus go back to controller lol thnx for the input

marble drift
#

keep the keyboard on hand to type on your ps4

white bronze
#

I can use my controller and still type right?

#

OK

marble drift
#

but yeah just fight with a controller

white bronze
#

I'mma use it for typing and setting up macros

marble drift
#

seems good

white bronze
#

But it was a $180 keyboard lol

marble drift
#

yeah thats on YOU fam

white bronze
#

And requires both USB ports 😭

marble drift
#

coulda just bought a 20 buck usb keyboard from an office supply store

little swift
#

Make sure you set up enable direct chat if thats what the keyboard is for

white ether
#

Is there a way to change ctrl to shift?

marble drift
#

o_o

#

you can just keybind shift

#

instead of ctrl

white ether
#

How do I do that

little swift
#

In the keybinds menu

marble drift
#

wait ctrl is default binds?

#

huh. never knew

little swift
#

For hotbar 2 yes

marble drift
#

I setup my bars ages ago

white ether
#

I know it’s in my key binding but I don’t know where

marble drift
#

hotbar tab

little swift
#

Hotbar

#

Hotbar 2 specifically

white ether
#

I see ctrl+1

little swift
#

Yeah

#

Click that

white ether
#

Do I have to change all of them?

little swift
#

And hit shift+1

#

Yes

white ether
#

Please say sike

marble drift
#

bro it takes like 10 seconds

white ether
#

Fair enough

marble drift
#

click. hit shift 1.

#

hit done

#

repeat

white ether
#

Well that was fun

#

Thanks for the help

white bronze
#

Did I insert it correctly.. Wanna know before I do the whole thing

marble drift
#

yeah the macros in that guide are simple copy-pastes

#

follow it directly

white bronze
#

Wish I could copy and paste but on console lol

blazing steppe
#

Is there any place in particular for LFG for XIV? Looked for channels here but didn't see any

faint flare
#

Party finder

royal lichen
#

So... what's the difference between Dancer and Bard? How do their support abilities differ?

faint flare
#

Is for making toyr own party

#

And duty finder is instant matching

white bronze
#

Dancer u have a Dance partner

#

And certain buffs u get that partner gets

#

5% damage

warped nest
#

Bard has natural party buff in their songs

white bronze
#

Technical step effects party if they in range

faint flare
#

Dancer is more offensive support, giving one person a 5% damage buff and a crit buff...gives party team damage buff every minuyr and has a small heal

Bard has a buff to put on a person so they get more healing. Their songs also provide various damage buffs

warped nest
#

While Dancer permanently buff a party member and occasionally buff the whole group

white bronze
#

Dancer is easier imo

faint flare
#

Naturally all ranged have their party mitigation skill like Shield samba. Troubador etc

warped nest
#

Playstyle wise:

Bard rotate through 3 different songs, and each of them allows you to do certain skill when they proc. You maintain DoT damage on your target, and do filler attacks while handling the song procs.

Dancer has a lot of RNG in their combo. Your single target 2 step combo can proc 2 other attacks, and using these 2 procs can sometimes give you Feather, which is a resource to perform additional offensive abilities, but the whole thing ties together rather neatly

mental garnet
#

anyone else having trouble accessing the gamerescape wiki?

royal lichen
#

I'm a scholar main, but I want to take on and level a pseudo-support/dps class for future raids, cuz i'm afraid if I go healer, I won't be able to keep up with dedicated healers like WHM and AST

leaden ginkgo
#

isn't an ast+sch the preferred healer comp?

vagrant copper
#

Are you saying that because you can't keep up or because you think a scholar isn't a dedicated healer?

royal lichen
#

i've only been playing for a little over a month... and I was just invited to an FC, but don't have friends or a crew, so i really don't know anything.

obsidian patio
#

@mental garnet they’re down currently, if the outage that I saw earlier is still happenening

leaden ginkgo
#

you'll do fine as sch in normal mode raids as a new player if you're worried about that, and since you have a co-healer, not every single raid AoE or damage is supposed to be your responsibility to heal up

little swift
#

scholar does perfectly fine

#

in all content

leaden ginkgo
#

it can be intimidating but you won't struggle much until you start doing savage and even then, fights are scripted so you know when to heal and when to dps

little swift
#

in fact sch has a lot of powerful tools for hard fights too

royal lichen
#

I've been playing Heavenward, and in the story dungeons, the 4mans, my party has been getting low and I can't heal them up as fast

little swift
#

have you done your job questS?

royal lichen
#

yes

little swift
#

indomitability is your best burst aoe heal

#

use whispering dawn off cooldown more or less

marble drift
#

aoe regen.

#

very good

little swift
#

if your dps are taking unnecessary damage

mental garnet
#

ah okay, thanks wynne

little swift
#

don't bother iwth them

#

keep your tank alive

marble drift
#

yeah dps have a duty to dodge stuff

#

if they dont

#

well they do no dps

#

cause they ded

little swift
#

use your lustrates on the tank more often than not until you have excog

mental garnet
#

if i uncheck join duty in progress, will i get autofilled in frontline roulette?

little swift
#

regen should be ok

mental garnet
#

i don't have a desire to join an ongoing match where people have left (often for a reason)

obsidian patio
#

You won’t get put into ongoing matches with it disabled

mental garnet
#

ok, cool

#

i'll have to remember to disable it then

#

i keep it on for pve duties

royal lichen
#

I try to Succor the party before boss fights, then I place sacred soil on my tank while the have the bosses attention. Then after that, when they start getting too low, I Aldo my tank, and while they're taking reduced damage, I try to lustrate and then ET Adlo.

little swift
#

sacred soil ain't the most useful until you get the regen trait it has at like 78 imo

#

its one of those things you use when you got nothing to burn aetherflow on

marble drift
#

until you do its possibly better used before party damage is incoming

little swift
#

^

marble drift
#

but if you don't know. Indom is probably better use of your aetherflow

remote lintel
#

as a smn during firebird do you just spam fountain of fire and purgatory

#

and possibly ruin 4

marble drift
#

I thought Ruin 4 was turned into Brand

#

and Ruin 2 into Fountain

remote lintel
#

the ape becomes brand of purgatory

#

aoe

marble drift
#

oh

#

well I play summoner like never

#

so...yeah

remote lintel
#

same

royal lichen
#

Sacred Soil has come in handy for me, and I try to space out my charges till Aetherflow refreshes. I like to always have something to use, something prepared.

marble drift
#

well Aetherflow can always be used

#

I prefer to keep one in my back pocket

#

and judge on the fly if I think I need it now or can blow it on something

#

remember FF is built around you dealing damage too

#

so the aim of the game is to heal just enough while still puttin' out the hurt

royal lichen
#

I still heal. My issue comes when I have to stop damaging because everyone is >30% and I have to pull off mass heals withing a few seconds of the boss's next aoe or tank buster.

marble drift
#

indom-succor. weave whispering dawn

#

if that doesn't heal your dungeon group

#

then....đŸ€·

Hey I've been trying to solve this problem of my for about 3hrs and I've given up, does anybody know what to do for the mog station registration code, I got the game while it was free for ps4 and I have no idea what the code is, could somebody please give me a hand with this?

marble drift
#

you have the game code. to log in requires an account. make an account and then use the code to link an active copy of the game to it

#

to enable you to login

twilit arch
#

ps4 doesnt have a code unless you buy a physical copy of the game

marble drift
#

oh I missed the ps4 bit

#

my bad

twilit arch
#

You link your playstation account to your mogstation

royal lichen
#

You don't need a one time password. All you have to do is have a SE account then log in through the application, steam, ps4, xbox, xyz. Just log in using your se account credintials

crimson willow
#

twilit arch
#

Shadowbringers gives you the other expansions

crimson willow
#

ah

#

and how does buying it on steam work?

#

do i have to log into a square enix acc?

#

through steam?

#

or should ibuy off the webiste

twilit arch
#

steam just downloads the launcher, so you're going to be using your mogstation account regardless of whether you buy thru steam or not

#

its up to you if you want to buy steam or off the website, just know that buying off of steam locks you into steam for any and all future expansion purchases

broken folio
#

I have an account but it's asking for a code for the confirmation so I just have to log into the mog station with my account, right Kaelwryn?

twilit arch
#

I think so? I'm not 100% sure how ps4 account set up works

crimson willow
#

does that mean theres a possiblity that a expanision wont be on stema?

#

steam?

twilit arch
#

i only know that you're linking your playstation account to your mogstation, and the only time you need a code for ps4 is if you buy physical copy

warped nest
#

Why won't it

crimson willow
#

kuz i know like the #1 tank is on steam lol

twilit arch
#

no, steam will have the expansions

warped nest
#

If you get game/expansion digitally l on PS4

twilit arch
#

its just that when they do release a new expansion you are going to have to buy from steam

warped nest
#

Then when you open XIV, it should ask you if you want to apply the digital purchase to a service account

twilit arch
#

even if you see a deal on like SE's store page, you won't be able to make use of that sale

broken folio
#

Thanks Kaelwryn, I appreciate the help so I'm gonna try to log into the mog station.

#

hopefully it works

Out of curiosity, did Square ever fix the BLU power leveling exploit where you can switch off a higher level class that one-shots stuff?

marble drift
#

yes I believe they did

#

but you can still cap out a bluemage with a friend

#

and like...an hour

twilit arch
#

you can still do it

but you need to use a spell with cast time

I noticed that this game has a free trial. how long you can play as free trial and are there any restrictions?

Collectability replaces Quality 1:1. To put it simply, raise quality as high as you can to reach at least the minimum score, then give the crafted item to the turn in counter to get exp and scrips.

pure flicker
#

basically you need to manage the durability of the object you are crafting while simultaneously increasing the quality bar to make it higher quality and more "collectable"

lilac dock
#

ah thank you

old knoll
#

what happens if i reach the lvl 35 as free trial? will the character be locked or just doesn't gain any exp anymore from there?

marble drift
#

no more xp

#

for that class. you can change classes

#

to level that one tho

leaden ginkgo
#

You can go level up another class

gloomy ice
#

There is no time limit. You can keep playing as long as you want.

#

If your class reaches 35, it won't earn exp anymore but you can still change classes/jobs

lilac dock
#

i wonder if my trial character still exists

jade quartz
#

You can potentially stay on the free trial getting all the classes to 35 including crafters and gatherers

marble drift
#

if you're one of them min-maxers you can bring everything up to 35

#

and THEN buy the game

#

but...eh

lilac dock
#

i made an elezen for my trial but lost the password after a month or so

vagrant copper
#

SE doesn't auto delete characters so it'd still exist

lilac dock
#

im already post-ShB so theres no point in using it but still lol

old knoll
#

and while i was reading the free trial restrictions but is the local chat where players are nearby you can see the text included in these: "shout", "yell" or "tell"?

lilac dock
#

tell is for specific players, and it works cross-world

jade quartz
#

You can see all of them yes

#

Oh I misunderstood

#

You will be able to use /say chat which everyone in your vicinity can see

gloomy ice
#

Shout chat is zone chat. Yell is over a wide area, big enough for the public missions. Tell is your whisper/dm.

jade quartz
#

/yell is a wider area

lilac dock
#

honestly ive never actually figured out how big yell is

#

nobody really uses it

jade quartz
#

And /shout is zone wide

old knoll
#

ah neat, one thing i didn't notice at that: but can higher lvl players see your /say text while being free trial? since i have used to playing wow where players who are 11 lvls or more cant see your /say text at all if they are a starter edition accounts

jade quartz
#

Yes they can

vagrant copper
#

Everyone can see your say chat

gloomy ice
#

Say chat can be seen by everyone in range

old knoll
#

thank you for your answers people 🙂 i will be adding ffxiv to games that i play (it will be 100% on free trial)

grim adder
#

When would I use dissipation for scholar?

obsidian patio
#

if you know you don't need the healing or support from your fairy, it can be used as a small damage boost by using the spare aetherflow for energy drain

oo ok

white bronze
#

I'm guessing I should make a shared macro so all my crafters can use it.?

marble drift
#

macros are character based not class based

jade quartz
#

Uh all your crafters will be able to use it anyway

#

Nothing special you have to do

white bronze
#

So I made the macro under individual.. So I'm fine?

jade quartz
#

Ah

obsidian patio
#

Individual = macros that character can use
Shared = macros all characters you have can use

jade quartz
#

That means stored locally vs. stored on the server

white bronze
#

OK..

#

Lol

#

So I'm doin culinarian.. Will my blacksmith be able to use it?

jade quartz
#

Individual macros were added to give more macro slots without straining the server

#

Yeah

white bronze
#

OK

#

I see

crimson willow
#

a have a friend thast has the game, i just bought it with the dlc, so how does it work in a sense of servers, does the primary servers like primal? ether, are the important ones? or the ones inside those for my friend to play with me

proud willow
#

servers are grouped together into data centers (like Primal)

crimson willow
#

so as long as its primal

#

basically

proud willow
#

people on different servers can play together if they're on the same data center

crimson willow
#

ok so its just the 3 servers then

#

that matter

leaden ginkgo
#

yes, if you're both on primal you'll be able to play together

#

and correct, the datacenters are what matters for playing with others

proud willow
#

You won't be able to join/form a Free Company (guild) if you're not on the same server, if that matters

crimson willow
#

oh

#

so you gotta be in the same exact server for clans

robust crow
#

how do you check the gear an NPC is wearing? I want to know what Hisui in Tamamizu's legs are

crystal marsh
#

does anyone use the FATE trackers or follow hunts at all? looks like lighting storm coming in Black Shroud but not sure if that means Odin coming

twilit arch
molten spruce
#

any idea in why on my card deck i can only equip 1 rare card and rest can only be 1 star cards? (triple triad)

robust crow
#

thanks a bunch

twilit arch
#

odin's weather is called "Tension"

#

and basically makes all of shroud look super dark and spooky

crystal marsh
#

thats what im reading. the link i sent looks like hes coming in 60mins? not sure how to rea that tracker

#

first time using

twilit arch
#

when it says "Open for" it means that's how long the window for him to possibly spawn has been

#

but either way i would take the hunt tracker with a bit of salt because its entirely dependent on people actively updating it

slate arrow
#

@molten spruce it's them rules. you need 60 cards collected before you can use unlimited 3 star cards but the rare card rule remains for 4 and 5 star cards

twilit arch
#

the world boss fates do have a force spawn after...72 hrs iirc, so assuming that tracker has been actively updated

crystal marsh
#

ahh i was in wrong server. Mateus got nothing sadly

twilit arch
#

then yeah he would be spawning soonish

#

what do I do with the approved stuff in ishgard restoration?

red mage can't rez until 64

#

just so you know

dry marlin
#

Question, i just finished and won in a pvp map Onsal Hakair and i dont understand why it didnt count as a progression towards the achievement one steppe at a time.

robust crow
#

don't flame a red mage for not rezzing you in crystal tower kekstar

dry marlin
#

do i need to unlock something or do something for this?

jade quartz
#

Err

#

If you didn’t get any achievement progress then you didn’t win.

dry marlin
#

we did win though

jade quartz
#

Are you sure 👀

dry marlin
#

yes

#

i got 750 marks instead of 500

twilit arch
#

then you didnt win

#

750 is for 2nd place

jade quartz
#

That’s second place

twilit arch
#

1000 is first place

robust crow
#

lol

dry marlin
#

....

#

god dammit

#

that explains

#

sad

twilit abyss
#

red mage can't rez until 64
@robust crow Noted!

Consider the rest of your gear too

tulip plover

Well the rest is 45

#

Or the closest

#

I cleared it its fine for some reason the stores sell akward leveled gear

crimson willow
#

i have a question

slate arrow
#

I may have an answer

crimson willow
#

i want to be a tank and im making my first character, i know i can be a 2 hand sword

#

but i just see guardian

gloomy ice
#

DRK is a HW job. You need to clear all of A Realm Reborn to unlock it.

crimson willow
#

im confused

slate arrow
#

dark knight rewards completion of the ARR 2.5 quests + access to Ishgard + a level 50 job

#

you cannot access DRK out of the gate

crimson willow
#

so what do i do?

slate arrow
#

Play the game as any ARR job until you can finish the ARR MSQ

gloomy ice
#

If you want to run a tank to start, Gladiator and Marauder are the two available to start with.

slate arrow
#

if you wish to get a head start on how to tank, play either Gladiator or Marauder

crimson willow
#

i dont know what ARR MSQ is, or ARR 2,5 quests , or acces to ishagard.

gloomy ice
#

GLD uses sword and shield. MRD used a big axe.

crimson willow
#

im like

#

spank new.

#

dumb it down lol

slate arrow
#

MSQ is the Main Scenario Quest

#

Everything is locked behind it

#

basically everything

crimson willow
#

so it doesnt matter what i start with?

slate arrow
#

ARR is the base game, called A Realm Reborn

#

nope

little swift
#

Dark Knight is the class youre interested in. You need to play more into the game to unlock it

slate arrow
#

pick anything

little swift
#

A lot more

#

If you want to tank for practice, start gladiator or marauder first

#

But you can play all the jobs on one character

crimson willow
#

ah okay

barren galleon
#

Just a quick super dumb question from me.....

#

Does SAM have any positional?

#

I am looking through all my abilities..

obsidian patio
#

Yes. Kasha and Gekko get positionals at 52.

gloomy ice
#

It has two but they don't start as positionals.

obsidian patio
#

Kasha is flank and Gekko is Rear.

gloomy ice
#

Since they don't give you bonus damage but instead give more resource for landing the correct position.

barren galleon
#

Ohhhhh

#

I feel dumb for now knowing AkashiSweat

crimson willow
#

what does a legacy world mean? and i see i cant join behemoth? is it kuz im new?

proud willow
#

you can safely ignore the Legacy tag

little swift
#

legacy isn't related to you

#

it just means that its a server that houses REALLY old characters

proud willow
#

characters from the previous version of FFXIV (from 2010) got imported to Legacy servers, and there used to be restrictions on transferred off of them, but not anymore

obsidian patio
#

!faq serverlock

zinc orbitBOT
#
Why can't I enter this server?

Standard, Preferred, and New Servers will dynamically open and close themselves from newly created characters depending on how many players are online. To ensure you're able to make a new character on your server try waiting or doing so at a less active time of day.
Congested Servers will not unlock for new players or transfers until Square Enix removes the Congested Status.

lavish vortex
#

Are queue times for potd floors 61-70 long?

raw solstice
#

they'll generally be a bit longer yeah, even moreso during off-hours. The floors people tend to do most is 51-60 since you can start at 51, entering at level 60 in there, and it's the fastest for exp farming (which is what most people do with potd)

leaden ginkgo
#

Alright I realized I have 30 irregular tombstones and can get a mount. Should I for Bomb palanquin or Boreas? Are either of them really rare or hard to get on their own

lavish vortex
#

@raw solstice thanks!!! I’m also doing it for the exp, but I want some of the red weapons

raw solstice
#

@leaden ginkgo neither are particularly hard. The first one requires ranking up the kobold beast tribe, which is super easy just takes a bit of time. Boreas requires farming shiva extreme until you get the mount drop, which is RNG but a pretty fast, easy farm since you can do it unsynced (even solo if you want). But if you get unlucky then it could still take a while to drop, even with decent drop rates

leaden ginkgo
#

Thanks! I think I’ll go for the bomb one then because it’s pretty swaggy. I haven’t gotten to any extreme content yet but I assume that one won’t be too hard at a certain point if it can be soloed

rough lance
#

is it good exp for gatherers in ishgard restoration? or i should jus stick with leves

pure flicker
#

its amazing exp

#

and you get scrips too

#

its like a whole level for 1 turn in

rough lance
#

o.o

#

i can't find any web that's shows turn in for gatherers

#

only for crafters

pure flicker
#

oh for gatherers, whoops, i misread

#

yeah, you only get exp for turning in the grade 2 materials

rough lance
#

yea i had been doing it

#

haha i jus wan to know abt gatherer part

pure flicker
#

yeah for gatherers you just gather the skybuilder's materials in diadem and them turn them in for scrips

twilit arch
#

gatherers exp comes from gathering in diadem itself

rough lance
#

is the exp good?

twilit arch
#

with exp manual and food, its pretty decent

rough lance
#

or leves are still better??

twilit arch
#

though leves are going to be better exp, diadem's less of an investment

#

and less movement overall

rough lance
#

ahh

#

ok thanks

is there any news of additional housing? hoping for one in ishgard hehe

for void ark, you get some cool cutscenes and lore about the voidsent

and get to see Cait Sith

@leaden ginkgo The Firmament is extremely likely going to be the Ishgardian housing district, but there's been no sight of a possible release date. Same goes for more housing wards.

@mossy tartan you can turn on timestamps for messages in the log settings of the character config.

hmm guess ill grab an apt first, which apt area has the best view right outside building and in windows?

mossy tartan
#

Thank you, found it

obsidian patio

Apartments don't have windows.

yeah, they are just fake windows to give light 😩

But I'd say in terms of position the one in Kugane is pretty nice.

#

Limsa/Mists too.

leaden ginkgo
#

ohh i was hoping wed have a view out

#

right now im choosing between limsa and kugane

#

limsa has the beach, kugane has nice little park

can someone help me make a name for my elezen i suck at this lmao

TL;DR: if you want lore accurate make it sound french

Le Elf

lime pendant

the name i want with it doesnt really fit which sucks... im trying too make either "sam" or "samuel" into an elezen name lmao

obsidian patio
#

Here's also an OF post that has the naming conventions for Elezens https://forum.square-enix.com/ffxiv/threads/61148

#

(official, not fan-made)

lime pendant
#

make it sound french how do i do that lol

obsidian patio
#

basically follow the tips in the post

#

so for Sam as a male you can do something like Samoux or female can do Samette

lime pendant
#

yeah mine is a dude so idk haha

#

is there a list of good names that work better with the ending of them name. like idealy i would like Samuel or sam for a male elezen but it just isnt sounding right

obsidian patio
#

it also uses the rules from the previous link I posted.

kind eagle
#

where do i find 24 people

obsidian patio
#

For the 24-man duties? Just queue for them, they're casual content.

#

Make sure your Duty Finder is also searching for japanese players too, as judging by your role you're playing on a JP datacenter.

Samuebert Talenoux

#

I dunno, I can't think of anything

mental garnet
#

the last SB cutscene was very dissatisfying

#

in my subjective opinion

obsidian patio
#

@kind eagle The starting quest for The Crystal Tower is "The Legacy of Allag" from the Outlandish Man near the aetheryte in Mor Dhona.

lime pendant
#

@next steppe lol i like it tbh

obsidian patio
#

if he's not there also try checking Saint Coinach's Find to the east, since you may have done the first quest and forgotten about it.

pure flicker
#

have you finished the 4.1-4.5 content?

kind eagle
#

found it ty

mental garnet
#

me? my next msq quest will be ShB's first quest

pure flicker
#

ah

#

i personally thought shB blew everything else out of the water

next steppe
#

heh no worries, @lime pendant - my main is Elezen :)

#

As much as I love ShB, I still think my most memorable moment in the game was when I first got to Ishgard

lime pendant
#

im thinking of Samueliox or Samoix is good too. same here haha

#

Elezen is like by far my favorite race and i wish i was literally in the heavens ward

next steppe
#

heh you'll get there~

mental garnet
#

i'm excited for ShB then

lime pendant
#

Astalloux or something with "Astall" could work too

#

that sounds better maybe xD

good point idk lol

#

i know theres uhhhhhh

#

that dude emanellain

I think -ine is more feminine for elezen, but it's a nice name

#

Astallaire would be more male

Astallaire sounds awesome lol

my elezen ends in -aire too, so :p

wheres the quest for the 1st 24 man raid for shb

shrewd owl
#

i think its in the dwarf village?

#

am i supposed to go digging around for them?

obsidian patio
#

Starting quest is in Tomra called "Word About Komra", though you may have already did that since it used to give an aethercurrent.

#

so the followup would be "A Scandal in Komra"

deft quiver
#

oh ok

lime pendant
#

i can probally steal a last name from one of the heavens ward nights and see if that fits or just use the name generator. for your last name @next steppe luckless what did you do?

ye thats what im doing rn

just didnt seem like a raid thing lol

At least for me, I like it if it flows or sounds nice to say

@obsidian patio Those docs go over crafting rotations and such, but I know nothing about crafting right now. Is there anything that explains it to a complete beginner and explains how to start?

How many quest

#

before i get the raid?

obsidian patio
#

I think 3 or 4 for crystal tower's first part?

kind eagle
#

can i skip

lime pendant
#

I got something. Astallaire Saintvaut sounds good. Something holy as a last name would be ideally awesome

warped nest
#

It is 3-4 quest..

next steppe
#

heh yeah, that's where I got the Vant- part at the start of the last name

obsidian patio
#

@lime geode
You use synthesis skills to increase the progress of a craft to actually finish crafting the item, while you use Touch skills to increase the Quality, which decides the chance of the end result becoming High Quality.
Synthesis and Touch skills also take away durability from the craft, which is like the Craft's HP. If it hits 0 you fail the craft (unless you also filled up the progress bar right when it hit 0) and usually lose the materials that were used in the craft. You get skills to mitigate this by either directly restoring Durability or by reducing how much durability Synthesis/Touch skills take away.

lime geode
#

Ok, so let's say I start at leatherworking. I go and say "I want to be a leatherworker" then just go buy some mats and equipment?

obsidian patio
#

you'd unlock the class like any other combat class, but yes

warped nest
#

If I may:
Craftmanship stat affect your Synthesis.
Control stat affect your Touch.
CP stat works like MP, you spent CP to use skills. CP is reset to full once you finish a craft.

storm rampart
#

Crafting classes are very easy to level if you have the gil.

obsidian patio
#

Crafters use their own equipment and tools to boost their stats. Craftsmanship boost Synthesis skills, Control boosts Touch skills, and CP boosts CP, which is your resource for using skills.

lime geode
#

I think I better go just start one to try and understand what you guys are talking about.

gloomy ice
#

Yeah it's a little overwhelming at first. Best to see it firsthand imo.

lime geode
#

Yeah I tried googling "best crafting for healers" and the answers were like "uhh, you have to do them all"

obsidian patio
#

pretty much.

lime geode
#

So it sounds a bit different than a typical job.

obsidian patio
#

Crafting classes feed materials into each other and the endgame crafts use materials from multiple crafts.

#

So an endgame healer chestpiece crafted by Weaver could also use pieces from Goldsmith, Leatherworker, and Alchemist.

lime geode
#

But if the best content is from raids, what is the purpose of crafting (aside from meals and repairing gear).

obsidian patio
#

It's a quick way to gear up

#

and is the best day 1 gear of a new patch

warped nest
#

In the context of raid, crafted gear is the best on day 1

storm rampart
#

Leveling crafting is F A S T

warped nest
#

Because you can get them as fast as you can make them

storm rampart
#

Which will help ya live through a raid

lime pendant
#

@next steppe how does Astallaire Saintmont, Astallaire Saintoix, Astallaire Saintault, Astallaire Saintier, Astallaire Saintcier or Astallaire Saintrier sound? i dont know what too pick lol

shrewd owl
#

saintier sounds nice

lime pendant
#

im stuck between saintoix or saintier oof

#

saintier sound better with the first name though so i might go for that

#

I personally like Saintoix, if you say it like 'Sain-twa'

#

but that's just me heh

void fossil
#

is asking questions about ACT allowed?

little swift
#

yes

leaden ginkgo
#

what stat should I meld on black mage at level 55+?

#

spell speed?

raw solstice
#

melding isn't super worthwhile until you hit 80, honestly. You end up going through gear fast enough and the benefits are rather minimal

simple shore
#

Stat/Meld priority for basically everyone is Crit > DH > Det. SpS / SkS can be largely ignored until 80.

raw solstice
#

if you were to min-max you would absolutely want sps on BLM

#

but I would strongly advise against min-maxing while leveling

simple shore
#

If you have the capability to meld your own gear and materia laying around, its fine. If not, dont waste your gil.

#

Just dont forget to extract it back out as you upgrade your shit.

leaden ginkgo
#

ok, thank you

can the materia gamble at Mutamix yield higher tier materia?

I am using the default Kagerou parcing meters and cannot seem to enable color coated dps bars is there something I am doing wrong?

#

@little swift thank you! 😄

simple shore
#

This look correct...can you post a screencap of it in action?

#

*Those

somewhat lacking in color

simple shore
#

The white thing is the bar.

void fossil
#

oooo

simple shore
#

you know, for White Mage

#

Other jobs will have different colors

void fossil
#

is there a way to increase the size of the bar?

#

ah found it sorr

crimson willow
#

what do rangers use? strength or int? or is it like dex?

#

just kuz story is giving me only strength or int optiojns

gloomy ice
#

Archers use Dex as their main stat

simple shore
#

I assume you mean Archer/Bard, and the answer is Dex

crimson willow
#

yea

At early level, most pieces of gear has multiple main stats. Like you'll see quite a few pieces with Str and Dex. As your levels get higher, though, the gear splits into the actual sub-role types. As long as the gear has your main stat on it, you'll be fine however.

Where do I find the beginner leves for leatherworker? The guild lady mentioned them but I don't see anyone to talk to.

gloomy ice
#

Adventurer's Guild in Gridania. Right next to the inn. It's, uh... south of the main aetheryte.

twilit arch

adventurer's guild, there's an npc near the inn keeper

I keep doing this quest

to unlock 2nd raid
?

simple shore

Yes

kind eagle
#

should i prioritize raid or continue 2.4

little swift
#

thats up to you

#

if you are enjoying them you should finish them

#

the story has relevance to shadowbringers

mild ermine
#

How often can I farm for Nier Gear and Coffers? Once a week?

#

Or is the gear farm as much as I want, but the clusters are limited?

twilit arch
#

you can farm it as much as you want

#

the only weekly locked thing is the clusters

mild ermine
#

okay thank you. I was under the impression gear was once a week too ..

#

I've been doing it once a week this whole time ..

What in the world is “sharper fang and claw”? I unlocked the Fang and Claw attack for Dragon, but I can never activate it.

gritty oracle
#

How seriously should I prep for e1n? Should I watch videos, perfect my opener to the last OGCD, do the stone sky whatever thing? First lv80 raid I will ever have done.

#

I think either full thrust or chaos thrust activates it

harsh furnace
#

You should just hop in

#

You should take some time to know your opener though

simple shore
#

@slate crow "Sharper Fang and Claw" / "Enhanced Wheeling Thrust" activate when you have Blood of the Dragon active, and land the third hit in your combo. Fang and Claw activates from Full Thrust, Wheeling Thrust activates from Chaos Thrust.

#

As you unlock more abilities/traits, you will be able to keep Blood of the Dragon active at all times.

slate crow
#

Ahh. I see. Thanks.

#

Another thing I was wondering was are there more areas after HW that requires the tedious process of aether currents?

simple shore
#

Every area after HW does

elfin edge
#

it's not too terrible if you remember to hit the aether compass as you get to new parts of the map through the course of the msq

obsidian patio
#

Only Azys Lla, the 6th zone for Heavensward, has no overworld currents, only ones from the story.

elfin edge
#

usually it's only like 100 yalms away from your current path

neon oar
#

help emergency

#

can someone make me a magicked bed

simple shore
#

No

neon oar
#

oof

simple shore
#

tbh, generally the "best" strat for HW/SB is to do MSQ only until you finish MSQ for the zone - this will unlock the first tier of speed increase. then get your currents / other unlocks done.

neon oar
#

why they expensive tho

simple shore
#

The speed increase will make the rest of it easier

obsidian patio
#

Because one of the materials used to make it (Enchanted Elm Lumber) is a rare drop from the Zonureskin Treasure map dungeon

simple shore
#

Its expensive because it requires gardening mats and map drops. Both of which suck.

#

Nobody is going to give those away for free

little swift
#

not really the place to beg for it

#

if you do happen to have the materials, you can request a crafter make it for you

neon oar
#

ill do that ^

#

wasnt expecting one for free, was just messing

#

getting a bed isnt particularly help needed urgently

little swift
#

try to keep the shitposting to a minimum on this channel : )

#

the craft itself isn't difficult since you don't need it to be HQ

#

just finishing the craft is all thats needed

elfin edge
#

what's the typical base progress of a lvl 80 crafter, out of curiosity

slate crow
#

I actually have a friend who uses a map and flies me to the currents.

simple shore
#

what do you mean by base progress?

little swift
#

he wants to know how much 100% synth will increase the progress bar by

slate crow
#

Where’s a place to post close calls in dungeons? Like just to share?

elfin edge
#

yeah

little swift
#

i'd have to hop back on to check

#

but like 500ish is probably where i'd ballpark it

elfin edge
#

ah okay

little swift
#

at 100%

elfin edge
#

so difficulty of 4000 is pretty easy then

little swift
#

not any of the powerful synth skills like groundwork or veneration

simple shore
#

I mean, the bar is ~4k-ish if thats what you're asking. The progress you gain from a synth would be highly dependent on your craftsmanship stat though.

little swift
#

you have to consider that you also have to use your durability to increase the quality as much as possible

elfin edge
#

oh, was just wondering about the bed thing, since you said the bed doesn't have to be HQ

little swift
#

fiddling with teamcraft, my unbuffed brand of the elements does 755 progress

elfin edge
#

I'm slowly bringing all my crafters from 50 up to 63

simple shore
#

For housing items you just do Muscle Memory -> Veneration -> Spam Groundwork until its done.

little swift
#

furniture/mounts/minions

#

will follow that style of creation

elfin edge
#

ah

little swift
#

balm, the magicked bed is a mount btw

simple shore
#

Oh, lol

little swift
#

!mount magicked bed

zinc orbitBOT
#
Magicked Bed (1 Seats)

Once upon a time, in the Kingdom of Voeburt, there lived a member of the royal family slothful of body but quick of mind. This man desired naught more than to never be parted from his pillow, and so commissioned a bed that could fly...only to swiftly take to the sky without paying for it. He, presumably, lived happily ever after.

Obtained From

Crafted by Carpenter (Crafting)

simple shore
#

tbh i had no idea i just assumed housing

#

EIther way, same rule applies

little swift
#

yup

restive talon
#

I notice that both 'Powerful Hookset' and 'Precision Hookset' negate the inefficient hooking debuff from Patience while fishing, but is there any way to tell apart which kind of fish/misc. creatures have strong and weak bites?

simple shore
#

Yes

#

The exclamation points above your head when it bites

#

2 = Powerful, 1 = Precision.

twilit arch
#

!= precise, !! / !!!=powerful

restive talon
#

Ah, I see, I gotta test that out.

#

Thanks in advance.

#

Hmm, I don't see it, might be because of limited animations turned on, but I'm having difficulties remembering where to toggle that off/on.

simple shore
#

Not really any reason to have limited on yourself.

#

Just set it on everyone else

stuck narwhal
#

anyone else had issue's with miner class skill not unlocking iv done my class quest till lvl 60 quest and all the skills from lvl 50- lvl 57 still greyed out 😩

simple shore
#

Nope. Which probably means one of those things you said isnt correct.

elfin edge
#

some of those skills are for collecitbles

#

they only activate when you put on collector glove or whatever skill it was to toggle collector mode

simple shore
#

Hmm, true. Though the 55 skill wouldnt be.

stuck narwhal
#

o i didnt think of that ill have to test it out

sacred glacier
simple shore
#

Because you arent one of those classes

#

the red text

stuck narwhal
#

@simple shore ty

sacred glacier
#

what are those roles

#

pretty new to the game

simple shore
#

All of the ones listed there are tanks

mossy tartan
#

If I finish the “return to ivalice” quest + raid series, where do I obtain the relic weapon?

#

I don’t see it on the rewards list

twilit arch
#

you need to pick up the quest "Hail to the Queen" in kugane to get started on the shb relic

strange coral
#

Go back to Kugane market and there should be a new blue quest

twilit arch
#

relic isn't obtained directly from the return to ivalice raid series

#

its just the prerequisite to unlock it, since the shb relic is a continuation of that story

mossy tartan
#

Okay, thank you

kind eagle
#

Does this give raid?

twilit arch
#

no

#

that's a weekly quest for the anima relic

#

which just has you run the crystal tower raids

kind eagle
#

oh

leaden ginkgo
#

as an early tank, would melding tenacity be a waste ?

little swift
#

melding tenacity in general isn't very valuable

leaden ginkgo
#

ok perfect

little swift
#

don't bother with melds until you hit 80

#

and even then its not the end of the world to not be melding

leaden ginkgo
#

so should i just sell the materia i get ?

#

( on the market )

little swift
#

if you want

#

could also try your luck at materia transmutation to see if you get a higher grade materia

simple shore
#

That said - if your objective is to make money with them, dont just blindly transmute. III's are alot more valuable than II's or IV's on the MB usually because of crafter quests.

leaden ginkgo
#

just hit lvl 50 on my character, how or where can I get a weapon for that level?

#

somebody in game told me I should get a relic weapon

#

is it worth it?

twilit arch
#

no, don't bother with the lvl 50 relic

jade quartz
#

Glamour

twilit arch
#

just buy x1 encrypted tomestone and 10x (x7 if pld) Rowena's Tokens (Poetics) from Auriana

jade quartz
#

You should get an Ironworks magitek Weapon for 500 Allagan Tomestones of Poetics.

twilit arch
#

and exchange that to Aelina for the ironworks weapon

jade quartz
#

^

leaden ginkgo
#

what item level are those?

jade quartz
#

120, augmentable to 130

leaden ginkgo
#

I have 1k poetic tomes

jade quartz
#

Best gear available at level 50, and will last you through to like level 55, or 57 at a stretch

leaden ginkgo
#

I've never used them

#

wow, so good

jade quartz
#

Buy the weapon and then a chestpiece or pants

leaden ginkgo
#

the job armor set looks fine

#

I know it'll get outdated soon though

jade quartz
#

Ironworks gear is much much better than job set.

undone pasture
#

if the guy who was asking about tenacity melds is still here don't sell doh-dol materia if you plan to level those

jade quartz
#

Get Ironworks.

undone pasture
#

since those can sometimes make a pretty huge difference

#

especially for the 50-60 doh quests

#

something seriously screwy with the difficulty of those crafts, I think

jade quartz
#

Getting the Ironworks accessories is also a big boost because your current accessories are likely lower-level ones

undone pasture
#

like some of the later ones litterally don't even let you attempt the crafts if you don't have on level armor that's HQ'd, good melds, or good food

#

or some combination of the above

jade quartz
#

Um

#

As long as you keep your gear updated it shouldn’t be a problem

#

You’re greatly exaggerating the difficulty

undone pasture
#

well that's not how it was for me, just doing the 50-60 stuff pretty recently

jade quartz
#

Remember the difference between NQ and HQ gear is quite significant

undone pasture
#

all on level gear including HQ accesories I had to go out of my way to craft and I didn't reach the control minimums without food and materia

jade quartz
#

Crafting your own gear is normal at that point

#

But you may also need some better rotations

#

If you’re having such a degree of trouble.

undone pasture
#

no I don't mean I couldn't reach 100%

#

I mean it litterally would not let me attempt the craft

leaden ginkgo
#

any use of shields for black mage post lvl 50?

twilit arch
#

no

jade quartz
#

Then your gear was not anywhere near appropriate.

twilit arch
#

shields are phased out at that point for blm/whm

undone pasture
#

it was the best gear that I could get

#

without crafting it myself

#

for hq

#

it was all on level stuff

jade quartz
#

You’re sort of... expected to craft for yourself at that point to be quite honest

undone pasture
#

and if they intend for you to craft it yourself then it doesn't make sense that the jobquests themselves reward you with gear that is supposed to be useless

jade quartz
#

Remember that your main hand and offhand are extremely important for stats.

undone pasture
#

those were on level as well

jade quartz
#

It doesn’t sound like you’re telling the whole story, because the required stat breakpoints for those crafts are not that extreme.

#

Adept gear at 58 helps, but even then it’s not actually necessary

simple shore
#

Not to mention that doing those quests on-level is kind of pointless. Just get higher level by grinding Ishgardian Restoration.

leaden ginkgo
#

hmm, the npc won't let me buy weapon for poetics, only for my other class, does my new lvl 50 job require to clear praetorium too?

jade quartz
#

You can get by with HQ gear from the previous quest tier.

undone pasture
#

the adept gear was basically useless

twilit arch
#

are you talking to the correct npc @leaden ginkgo

undone pasture
#

also the one that specifically locked me out instead of just being really hard was the weaver 60 quest

jade quartz
#

Aelina has Ironworks weapons for every job except dancer and gunbreaker.

simple shore
#

I took every crafting class to 71 using Ishgardian Restoration. The only gear i used was the level 50 tool rewards, level 51 vendor gear, and set of level 61 vendor gear. Had no issues getting to 71. and then i crafted a full set of 71 HQ gear for myself which lasted me until 80 and was good enough to make a full set of 80 HQ gear. Any difficulty you're having is either because your gear is even further behind than that, or you're not using the correct abilities.

#

1-49 i literally used crafter class rewards only

#

didnt even buy vendor items

jade quartz
#

Ok so it’s only at 60, not 50–60 as you said.

jade quartz
#

There’s a jump there because you’re at a level cap, but the basic 60 crafted gear is definitely sufficient

#

Or even just HQ 55 gear with a few extra pieces.

twilit arch
#

you're also not expected to HQ the lvl 60 crafter

simple shore
#

Crafting level (50/60/70) gear is inadvisable. Get to 51/61/71 instead and make that gear.

jade quartz
#

They’re saying they didn’t meet the required craftsmanship

#

To actually begin the craft

undone pasture
#

when did you guys last level a crafter from 50-60

simple shore
#

Last week.

#

lol

jade quartz
#

The stat requirements have not changed Russell

#

So it doesn’t really matter that I did it four years ago

#

Gear is the same as it was

undone pasture
#

my assumption was that something got screwed up in 5.2 or whatever but if you did it last week then I guess I was doing something wrong

#

But I seriously have no idea what it would be

simple shore
#

Well, what specific item are you trying to craft.

#

Lets make sure we're on the right page with that.

undone pasture
#

I'm already done

#

but the one I had the specific trouble with was that weaver piece

#

although weirdly I feel like that one was easier to craft than the others once I met the requirements

That would be

I dont even see a craftsmanship requirement listed on that.

#

It has a control requirement

jade quartz
#

I was the one who said craftsmanship

simple shore
#

Ah

#

Well, either way. 589 isnt very hard to hit on-level even. Food can help if you're short on stuff like that.

#

But regardless of that, its not really worth wasting time on crafter quests 50-66 (though you can just power through to 71 without manip too...) until you're 66/71. Just keep plowing Ishgardian Restoration.

looking through my discord logs I was also having trouble with the level 55 quests where my craftsmanship was at 460
