Story? It's fine. For raid? Nah
And then theres like a weekly currency right, i just need to keep capping that?
@wintry chasm
You'll need like 470+ for the new extreme probably
ty
480 should be good enough to get you doing expert roulette fine and then getting tomes for crystarium gear
Like, i cant speak for your datacenter
I dont mind paying whatever my current data center charges. I dont have money to change servers
But on Primal, Famfrit is the cheap server. Neo-Ish gear goes for 40-50k each piece on this server. Every other server is still 100-150k each.
When do the grand company supply delivery missions reset.. Jus turned in for my culinarian
!faq reset
Yeah @finite socket you can buy from the MB on any server in your datacenter
Fuck
!daily
That ^
Grabd company
But you have to visit that server to see it
Oh wait no
Resets at different timrs
You can check timers in game @white bronze
yeah GC uh.....
Okay but just to sum it up, after i get my neo/480 gear i should focus on the weekly currency from dungeons?
!reset
0 Days, 21 Hours, 29 Minutes, 43 Seconds
0 Days, 2 Hours, 29 Minutes, 43 Seconds
1 Days, 14 Hours, 29 Minutes, 43 Seconds
1 Days, 14 Hours, 29 Minutes, 43 Seconds
6 Days, 8 Hours, 29 Minutes, 43 Seconds
6 Days, 1 Hours, 29 Minutes, 43 Seconds
5 Days, 18 Hours, 29 Minutes, 43 Seconds
Copy
Ye
...actually, what menu is the timer section in in-game?
General Actions
Duty -> Timers
Oh dang
thats a good plan mightyo. you can also start farming star clusters from roulettes to get materia too
Man I am striking out today
Also if you wanna shop on here, kupo bot has market board stuff
Go to duty -> timers and you can see all that in game @white bronze
I'm only a level 50 scholar so far so pardon my inexperience, but from what I can tell, am I supposed to hold on to my aetherflow stacks and just use Lustrate and Energy Drain to weave off an instant spell like Bio II/Ruin II/Art of War? Or should I be trying to use all these stacks before Aetherflow comes back up, even if it's not between ogcd's?
But also save it for spells
You have a minute to burn through 3 stacks
i didn't start yet and i saw they're reworking the beginning story, did they do that yet?
Okay but just to sum it up, after i get my neo/480 gear i should focus on the weekly currency from dungeons?
so like if I need to heal someone, I should just use Physick + Lustrate because physick has a low cast time?
A month from yesterday @cyan elm
Save them for healing but if aetherflow is coming back soon just blow on aether drain
There's a kind of rhythm to it. Don't burn them too quickly and have nothing for 50 seconds but don't keep them until CD.
Do Ruin 2 then lustrate
o ok, story is what'll get me through it all. i hope it's still engaging some what
Just use lustrate @nova umbra
You try to mimize GCD healing as much as possible
@finite socket i would make your first thing to do after you get there to go unlock the Copied Factory raid and complete it. Also go unlock and complete the 3 24-man raids from Stormblood (the Ivalice series)
Physick is pretty disappointing heal spell
So Ruin 2/art of war then lustrate
Those two things will prepare you for wahts coming in the next patch
hmm okay
can you respec skills or something like that?
so i can just choose my dumb stuff
@simple shore So those things are requirements for the patch to come?
oo ok
I guess I need to force myself to use Ruin II more often to weave. I've only been using it so far when I had to dodge skills
Only "building" is gear wise
ok, so it's like. i hit a level then i get a new one?
For substats
@finite socket the Ivalice raids are required for the current Relic weapon, which upgrades next patch. Copied Factory is required for the raid that follows it, which is also next patch
Basically Mello yeah
Please do your job quests
aaaaaaaand does the PC support controller : X.
yes
Yes
Very good support
job quests, got it
VERY good controller support
oo nice! im getting a handheld pc in a month or 2
Controller > KB+M
Don't @ me
so im just going to use controller now then
the game is more about learning new rotations for your class and being super optimal with them and movement rather than trad specs and talent trees from wow
Alright and getting those raids done @simple shore Can be done via duty finder or?
Yes
Yes
im coming from ESO so skill points always caught me up
to the point where i didn't like it
Don't be the DRK in Snowcloak (a 50 dungeon) that says "I don't have Living Dead" and then pulls the entire dungeon anyway
do your job quests
That's a yikes from me
A majority of your most essential skills are behind job quests so keep up with those
"I only have one Benediction my dude, if I have to use it in the first pull, I don't have it for the second"
Anyone from leviathan? I just came back and looking to make friends
Yeah if you don't do your job quests it shows and people will yell at you in every dungeon lol
Hi guys. Is the online starter edition the recommended package to buy for new players?
If you want the full game, you want the complete edition
Free trial first and then if you're sold get the complete edition which is everything yeah but if you aren't sold getting the starter edition and then Shadowbringers later is okay
The trial first before you buy
:(
Okay thanks ๐
i love FF and i want to get into a mmorpg. i hope this works out : D
Same
Try #recruitment-primal #retired-na-datacenters #general-discussion to make some friends@sweet estuary
The complete edition is 40euros btw
Thanks alot
This is an FF game that happens to be an MMORPG.
The fact that I didnt know a ff mmo existed...I wanna beat myself
There's two, actually
Especially when its one of my fav franchises
How is rdm in comparison to smn?
Its weaker damage wise
The other dead-er one has a character named Lion actually ๐
@lapis sorrel yeah there are two. XI and XIV though XI is super oldschool and it shows
Like 5% weaker or is it a big jump?
It's fine
A few percent
is there a way to get rid of these numbers? They have no meaning to me
Those are the gear set numbers
You can turn them in to macros, but then you'd be trading the numbers for cogs
Should I use divination and sleeve draw when clearing out mobs? Or save it for a boss
Yes
Blow everything on trash
Mobs are more deadly than bosses
Faster trash dies, less healing cooldowns you need to use
I wanted to play black mage because I always play casters in mmorpg but the rotation seems super complicated. Im used to fire mages in wow ๐ณ
The CDs come up as you go anyways
gotcha, thanks!
lul, you should see summoner's 2 minute opener
most classes make sense once you start playing em tho
If you want a simpler caster, try RDM
Not that you can play RDM at the start
Yea im aware of that. The classes that I liked the most (samurai and rdm) are only available at 50
can black mage heal too?
no
or is that a dps
They have a personal shield iirc on a long cd
Red mage is the only dps that has a real heal
Some DPS jobs have a little healing
For others
ok im going to stick to me trying a healer. i played DPS in eso twice and it didn't feel that great after a while
DNC has AoE cure 1 on a 60 second cooldown
so long to get into dungeons
so that's... a thing?
I'd recommend starting w/ scholar, doing the main story on a healer is rough
Scholar let's you level smn and a healer simultaneously
So, i already have 480 gear for the 2 main classes i use, and have capped out on phantasmagoria, what else can i use them on?
Not that it's not possible - healers have the added benefit of insta-queue in dungeons
It's very easy to multiclass in this game, I have a SMN for the msq and an AST (the class i want to main) that I take into all the dungeons
If you like super rush MSQ you might get walled a couple times if you try to do 2 classes at once
But at a normal pace yeah it's easy
True, but if your second class is a healer, instant roulette queues to keep its level up makes up for it a bit
Btw at what level do u get the potion thingy to change races?
once you beat the base game's story
as a reward for finishing the second level 50 main story quest
So around the end of ARR I'm guessing
The end of 2.0
yes
Got it. Thanks ๐
how do i undo a glamour/glamour plate?
glamour dispeller
inc plate?
i... actually dunno for plates
Theres a glamour dispeller plate
To removed everything
But still need the dispellers on you
@lapis sorrel i'd honestly say fire mage is somewhat harder than black mage, just factoring in the difference in brainpower required to pyroblast fish correctly, or just press the rotation in the right order
oh my chat just scrolled, whoops
@lapis sorrel i'd honestly say fire mage is somewhat harder than black mage, just factoring in the difference in brainpower required to pyroblast fish correctly, or just press the rotation in the right order
@agile laurel hmm really? Fire mage rotation w lucid is super easy, just requires muscle memory. Guess I just need to get used to the game
black mage rotation is also... super easy, just requires muscle memory
and fight knowledge requiring you to not move, cause there is no scorch
Black Mage is made somewhat complicated due to the fact that every few levels, the rotation changes dramatically but by the end, it really isn't as complicated as it seems on the outside.
well actually there is kinda a scorch, it's called scathe, but the official black mage advice is nobody uses scathe ever
Okay thats good to know, Iโll keep levelling my blm/tha then

no
I can dye itens already, so I just need to buy it then?
yep
Yes
It can be bought with Ishgard Restoration scrips or on MB
It's a new-er one too, agreed ๐
Its going to be great on my skirt
I need to raise my item level but the only thing stopping me from doing it is a ring and the game doesnt let me buy 2 of the same rings from the item level 390 shop
where would I go to get a better one?
because if the game let me I could have just bought a second one and then put that one on too
Can u still get housemaid set?
how do I upgrade it?
5
bucks
I bought it
event itens are pretty cheap
just bought the werewolf set for the skirt, also 5 bucks
so cute
@leaden ginkgo buy scaevan ester/coat/twine from the poetic vendor in rhalgars
Buy the upgrade from the left most vendor and go to ebola'ff to upgrade it
lady yukata**
Thats the right more vendor
a shorter/cuter version, you can dye black and will look the same @kind eagle
okay thank you Vinyl
nice cause vinyl sent kinda expensive
I combined both, tho like the shorter dress and the shoes from the other one
but you can get just the cheaper one, looks amazing
whats the difference between the ester, twine, and shellac?
valentine something, its an event set Yuki
They upgrade different things @leaden ginkgo
guessing these side quests will take long to lvl up
It tells you want piece of equipment it upgrades in the description
Not really supposed to do sidequests to level
Do you msq
valentione apron dress?
im lvl 3 i believe
i just want to lvl up to the quest requirement
i dont have access to my logs
Do your class quests
wheres that
im a glad
Does ocean fishing scale particularly well?
Gladiators guild
how do I use them?
but idk where any of that is
find the augmentation vendor in the area, buy augmented gear
Buy the upgrade from the left most vendor and go to ebola'ff to upgrade it
@leaden ginkgo
Go to evola'ff to the right
yea, here's mine dyed black just in case you wanna see the look @kind eagle
it was a blue quest right
Yes
do you know what the lvl cap is on the free trial
35
appreciate it
On all jobs
Non expansion jobs
can mounts be earned in game ?
Yes
I mean, its an cheaper alternative for the "main" maid costume
nice
Basically 99% are in game earned
!faq mounts
'When can I get my first mount?'
The quest that allows you to use mounts, 'My Little Chocobo' is unlocked by completing the level 20 main story quest 'The Company You Keep'. The quest is located at the Grand Company base you chose and you'll need to buy the Chocobo Issuance from your Grand Company Quartermaster. You can get the 200 needed Grand Company seals by doing the main story quest that comes after 'The Company You Keep'.
'Are there any differences between mounts?'
Besides looks, all mounts are the same speed along with being able to fly in the expansion zones. Some mounts allow multiple people to ride at once.
'Can I make my mount faster?'
Zones have one or two ranks of mount speed that increase the ground speed of mounts. The first rank comes from completing specific quests in the main scenario quests, with the second rank coming from Riding Maps which are bought with either Allied Seals, Centurio Seals, or Bicolor Gemstones. Mount Speed Boosts do not increase the flying speed of mounts.
My girl is all gothic atm @kind eagle
Do you know any good tights
why is map so cruel...
the maid set that I showed you has a cute skirt with tights, but everything else pretty much is in the mog station, you can also wear the B2 boots, for a similar effect
im not sure where to get type b 2 boot
Lv80 24man
Is the SB story connected with ShB. Because this stormblood story is boring asf to me
I thought the story was fine so far, just that the fetch quests got annoying
Hello there! I'm leveling BTN/MIN through collectibles and I have a lot of yellow gathering scrips and no idea how to spend them. Bought the i350 gear and cordials but still swimming in those. Am I missing something? Thanks!
where do i get scaevan twine
From Enna in the Other category
hi is there a setting somewhere to turn off cutscenes in dungeons or at least turn off cutscenes altogether and then when i come out of dungeons i can turn it back on again? im going through arr for my first time and story is my main thing but ive only just realised nobody else is watching cutscenes with me and i get left behind by the party because of it. id rather watch the scenes afterwards and not hold things up! any help thanks ^^
ah i see thank u
@ancient lotus No, but you may find these settings useful. It doesnt fix your problem, but it prevents you from having it twice and having to manually hit skip
thank you!
um, for the character name. is that what everyone will see or just the thing i named it
everyone sees your Firstname Lastname character name
right the square enix ID people don't see
thank you
(otherwise people would try to guess your password, etc.)
how difficult is farming damascene cloth? What kind of time commitment am I looking at for 3?
Its in baldesion arsenal, which is the 56man raid at the end of eureka
Sooo
Maybe if you're lucky you'll run the rolls
Otherwise awhile
cool ty
hey, so i just crafted a neo ring for my ninja, and when i finished it, it just disappeared? theres no doubt in my mind that it didnt break, read chat logs to see that i did finish it. used my mats too. has anyone had something like this happen before? is there anything i can do about it? ๐ฆ
Is it in your armoury chest
Crafted gear first appears in the inventory by default, not the armory chest.
Check both to be certain though
i shall crawl into a hole and die now. i made 2 earrings instead rings ๐ฆ

k im reading. if i choose ACN i can only do healer role at 30 when i hit scholar... is arcanist good enough though?
summoner is a class shared with scholar, which comes from arcanist, and its considered top tier dps right now
oo, i do like the idea of being a healer though..
scholar is definitely good too
can you mix and match abilities?
to mainly heal
then down time do some dps
or does that not sound like a very good thing to do
well, all healers are expected to DPS and contribute to rDPS in some capacity
so hard to decide
i just want to know if arc can keep up with healing later! and i won't kick myself
i think they look cooler too mhm
but they are two separate classes so they technically get different skills. but summoner can still Rez and do basic heals
You unlock scholar, you'll be able to heal
That's what their entire role is
sorry i don't understand too much yet. but can you have summoner and scholar equipped at the same time?
or does everything just get put into the same bar
No, at level 30 you unlock the ability to get job crystals. Which are crystals you equip to turn into the endgame jobs.
So if you put in a scholar crystal you become a scholar. And have seperate hot bars. And then you can also unlock summoner
No, conjurer turns into White Mage
with a different toolkit
but still a Healer
oo, so would i be letting down people if i group up as a scholar?
No
ok, i think acn is the way ill go... best of both worlds?
You'll queue in as a Healer, so your primary role in a dungeon will be to heal
any downsides?
Think of job crystals as class promotions. Arcanist is the only class that has promotion options.
and for the look.. are you limited to your job clothing?
Arcanist starts as a DPS. At level 30 you can get the Scholar class
or is there like an aesthetic slot
ok.... acn i go !!!!
If i play as scholar does summoner level up? 0-0
Yes
I believe scholar and summoner share levels
They share xp cause they have arcanist base
later on you can unlock glamors which allow you to put cosmetic gear over your current gear mello
ok, time to recreate my conj for an ACN
Conj is still great, you don't need to recreate
You can just unlock the arcanist class when you go to Limsa
i just started, i like how acn looks though. and they can both heal? : ]
i just ended the first cut scene haha
oh well if you are like level 1 i guess it doesnt matter lol
i getcha, ill choose the job later on!
Physick on arcanist is garbage
whats physick? : /
Their heal
Arcanist and Summoner heal gets outclassed VERY quickly. We recommend removing it at higher levels.
its the arcanist heal
You should watch a video on scholar online to see the different
As arcanist/summoner, you heal the same as you did at lv1
Pre50 gear sometimes have both Int and Mind, so it kinda works still up to that point,.
Scholar uses mind which makes physick a actual heal
Scholar means you get to also level summoner for free at the same time. which means you can do both the magic and healer role quests way later at 80 for basically 2 for 1 lol
White Mage is a really solid healer but only has two dps buttons LOL
Stick to it, you get 2 jobs for the price of one.
hrm I guess Holy is more mitigation than DPS heh
ok ok, back to acn then x DDDDDD
I need to try my WHM 65 quest again; that was pretty brutal
Basically the stuff we're discussing right now tthough is like really early game stuff
Once you hit past 30 the classes will solidify into their actual roles and you'll be able to see the difference
i getcha, i just don't want to regret it later because i do want to be a good healer later later
but the dps option is nice
and you can unlock any class on your character. So you can also start as an arcanist, and then go back and try conjuruer if you are missing it. As a healer, you'll get good queue times for dungeons either way haha
TBH they should remove the level link between SMN and SCH at this point, but make SCH work like expansion classes, starting at lv30.
And not requiring ACN to unlock.
I think ff14 is relatively balanced out; the different healer classes can all perform quite well, just that they're different flavors
Totally read that as 'requiring ACNE'
yeah, at the end of the day, all healers are good
ima glad right. is there a way to switch to a melee dps class
You can be every job in the game
You just need to unlock the ability to travel to the other cities and talk to the class quests
So if you are a gladiator you can go talk to the thamauturge guy right now and become a THM
I think pugilist should be in the same city as gladiator
Pugilist (Monk) in Uldah
Lancer (Dragoon) in Gridania
Rogue (Ninja) in Limsa
if you want melee dps
Oh yeah, pugilist too
There's Samurai too in Uldah but that's after beating the base game at lv50.
i would like to be a samurai ill go through the game and ask later
You first need to complete the level 10 gladiator quest in order to unlock other classes/jobs. Then, yeah, itโs just a matter of going to the right trainer and unlocking the class.
Cant be samurai on trial
Yeah, for samurai you'll need to be level 50 and own stormblood
Try Ninja, it gets neat early on.
i know its not going to be in trial.
ninja also sounds cool
ill try to reach lvl cap on trial before i buy member
I just like doing somersaults while going around town as a NIN
unless theres any benefits ?
What's gunbreaker like?
still doable though (I got most of the crafters up to 35 before I bought the game)
Gunbreaker is kind of like a "dps" style tank
game sounds neat its starting to grow on me
Lots of buttons and actions to use
Soon as i saw gunblade ๐คค
You don't really shoot your gun like a gunblade do you do really cool melee combos and lots of explosions
lol if you sub long enough you get squall's outfit for free
Oooo do tell friendo
its the 330 days subbed reward right
But they get some cool coats. The GNB literally just came out with shB so they dont have a ton of artifact sets like the other classes
Right right, awesome
I'm still waiting for the Nanamo minion to unlock :3
This is fun though, literally realized 4 hours passed since logging on haha
glad you're enjoying it!
GNB also has some of the coolest class lore related to the 5.3 patch imo
Oh yeah?
yeah i dont want to spoil much but imo i thought it was crazy cool how it ties in
its related to current relic weapon stuff yes
like even before the 5.3 patch i was like "this is neat" and then after 5.3 i was like ":OOOOOOO"
Right on, I'm pretty impressed so far with how well woven everything is in game
Like this is the smoothest intro to an MMO I've played
that's awesome! keep sticking with it. after level 50 it really ramps up
Thanks, y'all have been super helpful ๐
Maybe bc they treat this game like a Single Player JRPG with coop elements.
^^^^ totes
After playing looter shooters for ages, feels nice to come back to this atmosphere
That includes the 1-hour long intro before you even get to play the game. Most MMOs just drop you in the thick of it with some minimal tutorial.
i got gear from a quest i dont see it in my inventory
All gear goes to your Armoury by default.
it's probably in your armory chest. Press Ctrl-I
If the armoury is full, it goes to the inventory.
ty ty
You can also change it in setting so it goes directly to your inventory.
whats linkshell?

so i have an account with a lvl 50 and another service account with the expansion. is there a way to merge these accounts?
No
has anyone played The Weapon's Refrain (Ultimate)?
is there a class that uses actual guns?
or are actual guns not much of a thing in FF
Machinist uses guns
its an ultimate fight that you'll most likely need to use to party finder for Poot
So the dyes you get at 30 are the only ones you can craft?
doing a guildleve but im confused on what its asking me to do says report to western thanalan and im in the area i see no actions to do
open your quests and click initiate in the area it brings you to
Click on the leve itself on the journal
House of the Dead tells me I can't continue because I'm lacking strength. Does that mean I have to reset progress and start over again?
Yes, and upgrade your aetherpool
By opening more silvers
Use the other save file if you haven't
thanks vinyl
Well, thanks for the information.
Lets just hope my next party actually takes the time to explore floors instead of rushing through it ๐
You need to attune to the aether currents in the zone
They're in the field and from Blue quests, the final one is from the final story quest in that zone
what is there to look at money making wise for a cullanarian XD im currently 67
Not much while leveling up, except for the items used in leve turn-ins
How do I get a new recruit for my squadron? My enlistment has none so far.
Ok, yeah did one and nothing ๐ฆ
does anything from phantasmagoria sell for anything?
Yed
Is there a way to mute the sound of other people crafting and only that?
The neo ishgardian mats do
how do i spawn these numbers?
Waymarks
how hard is to find static as a tank? because mostly I see is statics looking for DPS or HEAL
Most statics I'm looking at are looking for tanks lol
hmmm probably depends from datacenter to datacenter
whats a good way to farm extreme rathalos for the mount?
Full tank
im just meh about playing tank most of the time

hello I bought ffxiv complete edition and I want to use the level boost but it tells me: The item you selected cannot be purchased with a free trial account. To transfer to regular service, please proceed to the FINAL FANTASY XIV: Mog Station. why does this message appear when i buy the game and i get 30 days free?
Have you registered your service account/game code from the full game purchase on the Mogstation?
yesss
I am at steps of faith after completing sohr khai and at the entrance of the final steps of faith. there's a beautiful song going on, anyone knows the name of it?

o7 -- I'm unsure, Zouud. I don't think you have to finish your 30 days of the trial if you had it before...
besides just buying it from the MB, what's the best way to get Fieldcraft demimateria III?
Desynthesis from many accessories
Desynth bridesmaid stuff from uldah
Definitely easiest^
Need leatherworker for the desynth
is it better than getting artisan stuff from GC and desynthesizing?
Its easier
It's definitely more costly in terms of gil, but easier
Cause its like a few hundred gil
ooh okay ty
If you have any other crafters that can make things, this may also help you https://ffxiv.gamerescape.com/wiki/Category:Desynth_resulting_in_Fieldcraft_Demimateria_III
is it highly recommended to use a one time password thing?
One time password is linked to 2-factor-authentication, so yes.
It's extra security on your account, basically.
alrighty
perfect thank youuuu @mint breach

Iโm currently new and playing thru my free 30 days. Is there any reason to buy the game or expansions now? Or should I just finish my 3 days first. Any benefits of buying it now instead of just waiting.
When trying to buy an FC plot, do you need to hold the gil or does it need to be in the company bank? Thanks in advance!
On hand
so on the topic of zonureskin treasure maps, how do those work, roughly? roughly the same as the other treasure maps, but with harder enemies spawning in when you open it, or does it do the dungeon thing I've heard mumbling about? (also on that note, how do treasure hunt parties work?)
When you kill the overworld mobs and open the chest, there's a chance a portal spawns that takes you to the special dungeon

@stuck pike are you on the base game license? or just the trial? The trial lasts forever up to level 35 on base jobs/classes
Im map parties, people generally bring their own maps abd you cycle through. Loot rules depends on the person who set it up
exactly what I was looking for! thank you!
Usually either Owner need or Free for all
and how uh, how end game is this game?
You get access to the quest
Endgame depends what you wanna do...has raids with weekly locks, other content, mount farming
@little swift just on the trial
it lasts until you upgrade
nice
ive been playing it and loving it
but im also ganna buy WOW
just wondering which one has more end game content
@little swift upgrade what? And are there any benefits of paying now
upgrade to the starter or complete edition
you can keep playing the trial for as long as you want
if you don't upgrade
benefit means you can keep doing msq past lv35
@little swift so might as well just wait until lv35 before I upgrade
Do 70 8 man maps have level sync
if you're enjoying you can upgrade early
fuck
i have a question about end game, i know they premote class swapping... i figured thats the meat of end game but can end game continuously further your main class?
What happens if you buy a housing plot but can't afford to build anything yet? I read you have to log in and enter houses every so often to prevent demolition. Do you just stand on the plot for the same?
No
Youโd need a physical house on the plot to enter to stop auto-demolition assuming it isnโt paused
Like how it is currently due to COVID
Oh man, so if whenever I manage to buy a plot (assuming its not paused due to COVID) I have to buy the housing permit ASAP or I'll lose the plot?
are there any gloves like Makai Moon Guide's Fingerless Gloves?
Hmm OK thank you!
what's a good thing to spend company seals on?
i'm at that stage where i need to do squadron stuff to rank up and my seals have nearly capped
is there a catch to this? This looks super OP
in my experience people need to actually stand in it which doesnt always happen
and might move around based on markers
Do I need to unlock that?
You have it when you unlock pvp
Sacred Soil should totally read "Reduces damage taken by 10%" instead of that. It's the only spell that reads as such iirc.
hmm
I have pvp unlocked butI dont see anything like that
unless im missing something
In the roulette section
is it in duty roulette?

what do the dots in armoury chest mean
@signal garnet make sure you've done the quest "A Pup No Longer" from your grand company
and "Like Civilized Men and Women"
the dots mean the armor piece is dyeable
oh there it is
is it even feasible to do collectables as a lvl 61-63 crafter so I can get gear for restoration crafting? bc I'm WAY under the stats needed for restoration crafting
get HQ level 61 gear
yes
I really have to waste money on gear that I'll get rid of within the next 3 levels or so huh
!action mantra
It boosts how much healing spells and abilities heal for
Ok so i can pop that before bloodbath if i need to heal myself right?
Well bloodbath and second wind
I donโt think it works on bloodbath? But definitely for second wind
You generally use it more for the group healing than just for yourself
Yes
Kits are not designed for solo play in mind
Primarily damage
is there a way to have different chat colors for different linshells chats?
shoulder tackle is a gap closer, but it's like
sitting on 2 is just as bad as sitting on any other ogcd for no reason
@tidal yarrow click the cog next to the chat > log text colours
On two targets that're likely to live for a minute, does keishi-higanbana have any worth then?
Hello can anyone add this item into the cart?
https://store.eu.square-enix-games.com/en_EU/product/307018/final-fantasy-xiv-60-days-game-time-card-other
I can't
But I can add the french version for some reason
i see these little crystals everywhereon my map, can i fast travel to them?
First thing you do anytime you get to a new zone
I cant find the last aether current quest for lakeland
it just doesnt exist on my map
there arent anymore blue quest markers
There's one for lakeland that starts in Crystarium. It's probably that one
You get the teleport skill to port to othet aetherytes
Alternatively you can open the map and click on it
@cyan elm Teleport for the large ones. For the smaller ones in the cities you have to use one of the other shards to teleport to them. You can't teleport to a small one from outside of its city
Once you attune to another aetheryte you automatically get teleport...the small ones are like what he said
I'm trying to turn in an item in scrip exchange but it's grayed out? I used the recipe from my crafting log, anyone know why?
Collectiblity is too low
Once you're past a certain point in the game, the teleportation fees don't really matter in the grand scheme of things anymore
Or just not a collectible
@faint flare it's HQ
You didn't make it a collectible
You.need to turn on collectors sy th
before you craft it
shit
we've all made that mistake 
ty guys ;-;

You need lv50 crafter and do some side quests for it
I need level 50 crafter even to do the first steps?
okay ty
you can do the pre-requisite sidequests on a non-crafter
Iโm max level 80 in Blacksmith, but the small Exp bar under the large Exp bar keeps moving forward, similar to the โresting at Inn Exp barโ. What is going on?
You dont need to rest at a inn for rested xp
resting EXP accumulates when you're in a sanctuary
Just be in a sanctuary
doesn't matter if thats near an inn or not
and will accumulate regardless of your job's level
its only consumed when you earn EXP
it will accumulate to about 1.5levels worth
So why am I getting rested Exp for my level 80 Blacksmith?
Cause you're in a sanctuary
you don't earn any of the exp on your 80
you're just in a sanctuary so its accumulating
rested exp can be used on any job/class
sch at 473 should really only need recit spreadlo to beat A12S divine judgement unsynced, right?
divine judgement can be mitigated enough with recit spreadlo/sacred soil if needed
tank can use a cd if necessary too
figured. ta.
you probs mean dark missionary but yeah
So uh, after frontline what has the next fastest queue?
likely trials
if you're farming wolf marks, you'll have to try your luck during prime time
rival wings rewards a decent amount
and its not a once/day reward
What happens as a guest at a wedding? I watched videos of what to expect and they only show what happens if you are the bride/groom. The in-game description says 1-2 hours
500 on loss 1k on win iirc
you just sit there and watch the cutscenes
you can also interact with the area and walk onto the altar to annoy the bride/groom
whne the cutscenes stop
Once you've seen it the first time you've seen it enough
And you get a minion for attending
That's only payed version Vinyl i believe
Around when is prime time? its 6:30 pm where I am
What are the minions?
A box i think?
about 5pst to about 11-12 pst
there's the demon box
and bridesmoogle
demon box is the paid one iirc
What are the chances to get to 5th floor of Lyhe Ghiah
Like 10%?
Well less than that
i don't think there's a publicly released statistic
Theoretical, not practical.
its 50% on 50% on 50% on 50%
1/32 is around 3.125%?
i can't math
1/16 then, 6.25%
damn
Once your retainer is at max 80 level, should you just keep sending them on the max level 18-hour mission? Or is there more strategy to be used?
oh yeah
This is under the assumption the doors are completely fair, and there's no pity mechanics
gear them to the retainer breakpoint
and send them on quick ventures if you want to try your luck
or the 1 hour hunting/gathering ones for stuff to sell
Where do I augment my Skysteel tool? I made the Oddly Specific Bolts but not what
you do it at the skysteel manufactory
same place you got the tool
!faq retainerbp
all the SB EX unlocks are from the minstrel in kugane right?
Retainers on 1-hour missions bring back green/blue gear that you canโt sell, just desynth. 18-hour, usually some random rock/plant that may be valuable or not plus 3500 in Gil
Nothing is coming up
Oh I see. It's an NPC
I thought I was going to have to actually craft it myself
Retainers on 1-hour missions bring back green/blue gear that you canโt sell, just desynth. 18-hour, usually some random rock/plant that may be valuable or not plus 3500 in Gil
@gloomy mortar the quick ventures gear can be turned in to your grand company for seals
do the 1-hour hunting/gathering missions then
figure out whats valuable on your server and sell that
Oh. I need to make 20 of these.
Ok thanks ๐บ
@remote lintel yes, minstrel in kugane for sb exs
the 1 hour quick ventures can also bring you rare stuff like the general purpose dyes
is there only 4 EXs?
no
oh the Jade stoa and up count too right?
yes
susano, lakshimi, shinryu, suzaku, byakko, seiryu
also tsukuyomi
yeah I have that
and i suppose rathalos
rath isnt from the minstrel
equip the weaver weapon
equip the main hand
Equip the tool
on my gear sets theres no weaver
oh
Is there a way to stop publicly announcing when you go online?
is there a way to see if i got the kill on frontline or see my kda b4 the match ends?
is there a way to see if i got the kill on frontline or see my kda b4 the match ends?
@molten spruce look at your battle high meter, it usually saysKILLorASSISTbased on what you got during the a skirmish. but you can't really see your kda during the match
also afaik there's no appear offline setting for the game
there's a /busy to ignore tells and stuff
With the new relic, I have just a small question, is it possible to put 5 type VII materias and still not cap the stat? I tried one myself and was not able to fit all 5 before the stat caps.
I might have to read each stat again and see maybe some stats starting at 0 might allow 5 of the one type and still not cap
If you blacklist someone, do they still get emote notifications? For example โthis person waves at youโ?
is there a setting or something to make this list longer?
Yes its possible if yhe item has none of that stat
cool, it might just be that then ๐
Is there any way to get rid of names for pets and minions? Or reduce the clutter?
Character settings > display name settings and you can turn names on and off for various things
thanks
If i relocate from a Medium House to another Medium House, do all my furnishing placements stay? Like do I have to redecorate, or will everything stay in place?
Redecorate
So much better, thanks @faint flare
Guess I'm here forever ๐, ty
is perception useful for craftin classes? or only for gatherers?
only gatherers
@umbral yacht in the case of the resistance relics, you wonโt hit cap if you meld a stat that the weapon doesnโt have on it
!item ingrimm

โป Materia Slots: 5
โป Advanced Meldable: No
โป Repaired By: Carpenter
โป Repair Material: Grade 7 Dark Matter
โป Dyable: No
โป Desynthesis: No
Is there a way to search for materia thatโs melded?
The stat cap for the i485 weapons is 477, which is more than what 5 grade 8 materia can be
Nope
is resistance daggers into crystarium daggers a big boost or should i go for armor pieces?
ic
Its a small boost
would it be better for me to get cryst armor instead then as im still using 480 mb gear
For most jobs the resistance weapon is pretty equal to the base Crystarium weapons
If you blacklist someone, do they still get emote notifications in chat log? For example โthis person waves at youโ?
Hello, i'm kind of lost... Just finished lvl 50 main quest, moving on I have to do new dungeons, but I don't have enough iLvl, i'm stuck at 48, what do I do next?
then you can use poetics to buy your accesories.
Thanks!
hello, to get the atma anima weapon, it says we need to complete fates. does that mean it can b any fate in the given areas?
Any in the areas
is it a 100% drop rate for the atma crystals too? after you complete the fate(s)
No
its a projected 25% drop rate
hope i get lucky then xD
oh yeah, do i need to equip/use my anima weap while doing these fates?
@crimson willow do the sidequest โmy little chocoboโ. You can get the needed seals from the next story quest or two
wheres that
At your grand company
@olive inlet yes it needs to be equipped
The game will tell you to do it at some point.
ah
tyty
what lvl do dungeons unlock
16ish via story
beans im on my rank two hunting log
do your MSQ
whats that
Story
i did

i need to be lvl 15 but im stuck at 13
i did my blue quests already
ima fill more of my hunting log even tho i might not be able to get enough
Complete fates, sidequests, and your class quests too
does this mean I get double the scrips?
what should my 5 materia slots be on weapon for blm?
Quick question for y'all: what's the fastest way to just grind out levels? Been a little while since I really played and trying to get stuff up. I seem to recall it was PotD/HoH in the past but it's been a while
for me, it was hunting logs until 16, then GC command missions until 50, then daily roulettes past 50
@nova umbra no. The bonus scrips are already applied to what you see. So that 106 minimum is with the star bonus included
Daily roulettes are really good for it, yeah, but I don't think you can just, like, sit down and do those over and over for a couple of hours or whatever, right? Since the daily bonus has already been claimed
yeah
Command missions is a good idea though, I need to run through more of those
purely for grinding, I think it was like.. PotD 1-60, and HoH 60-70?
but personally... I'd do anything but those... takes a toll on my soul
That's what I remember but that was also some months ago
Heh, they're definitely not very engaging
I remember one of my guildies tried to point a brand new player to PotD on their main class to level and it's like "bruh, they're never gonna wanna play again"
make sure to use food and squadron battle manual when doing dungeons/command missions
could someone help me with this? for some reason i haven't been gaining experience and i've done a ton of quests today
i need an expansion to gain more exp?
Yes
@gloomy mortar
To ask your question about blacklisting, yes blacklisted players will see your emotes if they didn't have BL you too.
Otherwise you cant get exp over 50
he's level 53 though?
Because he's on a different platform
if i buy the expansion, will all the accumulated experience i have gained be added in?
are you serious lol
That's rough
I bought my Expansions when i got L50 on my first job, so i can confirm it. The EXP indeed is lost.
The post arr quests arent much xp
Anyhoo, dipping back into FF. Thanks for the info Zydico!
i'm still in ARR though
Yes
The 2.1-2.5 MSQ will get a mayor EXP boost in 5.3 when it is trimmed.
And quests after Ultimate weapon are post Arr
and i own all the expansions on the ps4, i gotta rebuy them
well thanks for the info, this sucks lol
Yup, they are different licences, no cross-licence for FF14.
Most likely you will get a free PS5 version if you own the PS4 version.
