btw for secondary jobs, how often should i upgrade equipment between 1-50?
as frequently as possible if you're doing dungeons, probably around every 5 or 6
Personally I do every 5 for healer and tank, and worry a little less for dps, 10 at most
how time consuming is it to get a zodiac weapon?
Animus books feel like they can take forever, so maybe 1 week for the whole thing depending on how active you are
Maybe 2
If you're trying to use /tell, maybe just use /reply for easiness
hmm kk seems to have worked, but even with right click > tell didnt work
Are you on a free trial by any chance?
Right click tell is funky with crossworld tells at time
It has been since they added that
nope not on a free
i'm trying to buy something on the mog station and it says my zip/postal code is invalid, what do i do?
fixed it for some reason they want the post code without spaces even though that's not how post codes are witten
:p
is it possible to solo the second coil of bahamut unsynced?
keep getting instakilled and idk why
How hard is the summoner class?
@tardy hollow Which turn?
T9 can be a bit tuff
summoner has a reasonably low skill floor
and a lot of play-around for optimisation
understanding it is the hard part
So 3 houses all of a sudden appeared open on the same day. Did you do some kind of stealth patch to return the housing timer?
Account may have been permabanned
Can’t remember if that immediately removes the plot from the owner
my launcher is stuck on just the logo, how do I fix that?
thats what that looks like
I can click stuff, but I have no idea what i'm clicking
what is the bot command for leveling guide
!faq altlvlguide
Should I be using flourish on CD? o-o
Can you enter a code into the mogstation for an item while online and get it to your character instantly? Or do you have to log off and on?
Yes
Flourish gives you all your procs so you wanna use it on cooldown
Make sure you use existing procs so you don’t waste them
oo ok
To easily make sure you don’t have procs when it’s ready, use them right when you get them
At worst you’ll only need to delay by one GCD if you have one proc
I entered a code for an item, the mogstation said it was successfully redeemed, and I can’t find it.
do beast tribe dailies reset same time as roulettes?
@gloomy mortar logging out generally isn’t needed. Character-specific items usually arrive in minutes, but account-wide items can take an hour or more.
See if your moogle mail needs to be emptied
@tidal yarrow yes
What does an attack mean when it’s “unaspected”
Magic damage
The element only matters for black mage due to their fire/ice stance mechanics
plus element used to matter a bit more than it does now, kinda
Yeah. blm tools often specify 'Fire spell'
or vice versa
@obsidian patio Where does the item show up? The mogmail, directly into inventory, etc?
Mogmail
Is there a way for squadron command people in the grandcompany to promote to thier job? They're at 33 and they're still a conj, archer ect
Nope, they can only be the base classes
r i p
So it doesn’t matter what enemy it’s elemental weakness is
Unaspected Will just be neutral across the board
And it doesn’t even matter because they got rid of elemental resistances
anyone have any tips in making my launcher work or am I just deleting and getting a new launcher?
Yeah elemental resistance isn’t a thing
A fire sprite will take the same damage from a fire spell as an ice sprite
@hallow marsh Given that no one has responded, you're probably looking at a reinstall
cool, good to know
hm does morbol minion sell?
Check the sale history of it on the marketboard if you’re looking at it from there
But if not it’s usually dirt-cheap
did an install of the launcher, still getting just the logo
going to try again from the setup instead
Might want to get queued up for live chat support. They're open for another couple hours
Can I ask a story related question here?
Sure. If it's spoilery, use spoiler tags
||The False Griffin said we helped treat him back in Quarrymill. I forget who this character is - who is he?||
It will be revealed later
Spoilers patch 3.4
Keep going
Alright. One more question - how many zones and cities does Stormblood have?
Same as heavensward, 6 zones...a city and "endgame hub" area
Aka its Idyllshire equilivant
And Shadowbringers?
Thanks. Lastly - where can I see currently ongoing limited-time events?
You'll get chat messages when you log in. You can also check the lodestone
!faq lodestone
Is it normal that they change classes with each patch, even with 5.3?
or do the classes stay the same from expansion to expansion?
generally jobs stay the same within expansions
If classes have problems, they'll change them at any time
Though, yeah, most big ones will be expansions
there have only been a few cases of mid expansion revamps
like 4.2 war
and actually thats the only one that comes to mind
I see, i was wondering if there moght be moments when they change a job so drastically that you have to change rotations and such
Is it worth crafting say craft specific gear? lvl 51 weaver, crafted 3 weaver pieces, but I feel like im gonna out level them fast lol
yea that happened in patch 4.2 for warrior, but they made it overall easier
Ok gotcha
@civic forum if nothing else its worth crafting at least once for the sick first time craft exp
anyone know which msq i need to finish before i can buy allegory tome gear?
shadowbringers
Hmm, thats true, plus weaver 50 gear looks fancy af
is desynthesis only for lvl 30 and above?
one of the class im raising cant desynthesize
If I'm in a cutscene and the duty finder pops, but I'm the wrong class, can I accept and then change?
*job
Nope
is this enough to fly?
Nope. Need to do the quests too
Is it possible to have two eden rings on the same class?
I see. almost there +_+
@quasi spire that isn't a spoiler for content you've yet to do - ||the False Griffin mentions the time you helped the ala mhigans in quarrymill get medicine because the gridanians wouldn't help them, and you needed a vouch to talk to the folks at Little Ala Mhigo||
You need to change class, then accept
But what happens if I'm in a cut scene?
Then you either end the cutscene, change, and accept, or you timeout and withdraw
You can skip the cutscene and watch it later, hope it ends in time, or just take the penalty
Even if I queue as say healer but I'm not a healer any more?
Yeah
So if I accept during the cutscene you potentially have no healer in the party? That sounds wrong.
Or will it end the cutscene and let me change?
You can not accept if you're the wrong class

So I bought a booster for Summoner, and I heard that Sch and Smn share level, but I havent unlocked SCH yet, will they both be at 70 when I unlock SCH?
jesus thats insanr
to unlock skills
aahh okay! makes sense
Sounds really good, that means once i have the job quests done, i can skip dps queues and level smn by going roulettes with sch?
yes
yep
just make sure u get proper healer gear too :p
and also make sure you can y'know, play both :p
you'll still have to learn how to be a healer
yeah, everybody dreads someone who leveled only summoner to like 70 then decided to try scholar out in a level 70 dungeon
I'm the other way around 
Yeah, don't be lazy and not learn your healer if you intend to queue up w/ it; healer's are pretty important to making sure clears go smoothly!
That and you'll need to keep 2 classes of gear up to date
It's not that hard to do that though, just something to keep in mind
Pretty much any scrip exchange is gonna have those
The one in The Firmament doesnt sell them, the one in Mor Dhona doesnt, and the scrip exchanges tell me something about house rules
!faq scripunlock
Unlocking scrips (Foundation x10, y10.)
Unlocking Idyllshire's House of Splendors (Mor Dhona 22, y6)
Unlocking Rhalgr's Reach House of Splendors (Rhalgr's Reach x10, y12)
Unlocking Eulmore's House of Splendors (Eulmore at x11, y10, on the top floor)
You need a crafter leveled high enough to unlock the scrip exchanges. Or buy them from HW moogle tribe (also requires crafter)
Is moogle the only crafting tribe?
Moogle, Ixal, and Namazu IIRC
and soon to be dwarves
moogle 50-60, namazu 60-70, dwarves are going to be 70-80
damn, thats nice
Do I have to be lvl 50 DoH DoL to buy stuff with yellow scrips?
How do people farm ironwork currency to get the armor stuff
!faq poetics
@leaden ginkgo yes
So it’s good for level 50
It’s the best gear you can get at 50 when upgraded.
Same with Shire at 60 and Scaevan at 70.
any real difference between doing kholusia or amh araeng first for the msq?
Nope
mmk
The game assumes that you'll do Kholusia first though. There's a few lines of dialogue in Amh Araeng that speak to that.
what attacks go thru the raise invuln
Pretty much only ultimate/enrage attacks, or ones that purposefully one-shot you due to %hp damage
Oh yeah those, I think pretty much all move effects go through it? I can’t immediately name any that don’t.
@open coral i dont remember anything like that. Did Amh Araeng first.
Same. Might just be slight dialogue changes based on who you helped first
For both sides
I always do Amh Araeng first also. There's like two lines of dialogue buried in there that reference you having spoken to Alphinaud already
I feel like i'd remember something that messy.
It's literally like, two throwaway sentences
Is there any up to date info on what to do for a fresh level 80 as far as gearing goes?
I know there is mouseover but is there a command that selects your mouseover as target?
I did amh araeng first and I don't remember that. I vaguely recall there being a mention that I hadn't seen him yet
Yeah i distinctly remember dialogue that confirmed that i hadn't talked to him, not the other way around
Mmm, I can't go through it right now because I'm in the middle of something else, but I'll go back and see if I can find the lines I'm thinking of later.
@dense pier You could try /target <mo> ...?
can you only save 5 total marker sets

Where can I find the moogles that sell maps to go faster with mounts?
is having a /target <mo> macro
lol
mouseover is very accurate, clicking in this game is atrocious
In any of the starting cities
@robust crow Yes, you can only save 5 sets of waymarks

Closest is right next to the Limsa Aetheryte @lavish vortex
Thanks a lot!
Do I understand the wiki correctly that I need to be lvl 50 to unlock GC hunts?
the hunts them selves, you have the log from the beginning right
how do i get the red glowing weapons in potd?
GC hunts you need a certain ranking with your GC, iirc
The huntbill board yes, requires you to be lv 50 and 2nd LT in your grand company tounnlock
@molten spruce Get lots of power ups in POTD. I think red starts at like +60 or something
ahhhh
@molten spruce inside potd it requires you to be a certain aetherpool level. I think its around 50 or 60 aetherpool. Outside of potd, you need to get the padjal weapon first (which require 3 aethergrips)
once you have the padjal weapon you can exchange for the kinna (which requires 6 grips)
hey, so where can I get my first mount?
!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.
thank you very much!
Guys have anyone bought game time cards from third-party sites
Is there generally a best thing that you should train your chocobo in? Or all they all pretty equal/based on what you want
Just always have your choco out when you're questing and killing things
so im grabbing aetherpool chests but my strength remains unchanged why??
You can ultimately train it in all three by overcapping using Thavnairian Onions to raise the rank cap after 10.
@warm veldt if you're talking about how to spend your points - its generally best to do two trees at once, since the cost per ability goes up by one each time. Having 7 abilities from two trees is better than 8 from one.
Gotcha! Thanks
Typically people will recommend speccing to the healing tree first
Healing and damage. Chocobo doesn't work well as a tank because it's horrible at holding aggro. But later on it's worth it to put some points in to the tank tree for the attack increases and such.
I am on Mateus server. Can I go to a house on Marlboro server? How do I do that?
if you mean house visiting yes
House visiting?
go to one of the main cities and click the big aetheryte and click world visit
yes you can visit other worlds
you can visit someone's house on marlboro but you can't buy one on marlboro
Oooh wow! I see that option every day and I've never thought to click on it.
@molten spruce upgrading aetherpool is rng. When you're aetherpool is synced (aka the name is yellow), the chance drops dramatically so you need to go to higher floors
when backing up UI settings from 1 machine to another. What is copied and what is not
how to check if you're getting the exp bonus from a boosted server? I just transfered from a regular server to a "boosted' one and I wanted to make sure I didn't spent money for nothing
You don't get that for transfers 
^
If you have the xp bonus, you have a buff called Road to 70
Its a orange and yellow buff
yeah you more or less spent the money for no reason
Only way to get server bonuses is from congested to preferred
Or
Any to New
will my ping to every world on a single datacenter be the same?
Yes
cool
But tecnically I went from congested to preferred, behemoth is congested, but a payment was still required
Behemoth to where
Famfrit
There have been no congested servers for a while. "Can't create new characters" does not mean congested
so tldr transfers from anywhere to anywhere cost money at the moment, right?
And even if it were, you wouldn't get the road to 70 bonus AFAIK. You'd get some other benefits but not that
Yes, since there are no congested servers
(For example, a free transfer)
It needs to be congested with a capital C
!faq worldstatus
This explains world types and what exactly you get from creating characters on New/preferred worlds or transferring to them from Congested worlds
(Or any world to a new world)
@marble drift late response because i was in dungeon, but in my experience, if you do it the manual way (copying the actual files from the directory) you copy everything when you back it up. Keybinds, UI layouts, macros, what was in what hotbar, gearsets, everything.
thanks :3
Ok so is the bard legit or what
Yes
Huh?
new to FF14 right now strugglin to level up any tips dont know if this is the right chat to ask ty in advance
What level we talking about here?
I started 2 weeks ago, just follow your main line quests
If you're new, all you need to really do is focus on doing the MSQ.
Levels will come naturally by doing that
and MSQ pretty much gates everything behind it.
If you're stuck just do some dungeons real quick to level up
I know i've asked this earlier and theres a small workaround, but am i the only one not able to DM people cross world,?
The only time you need to do dungeons is if : A. the MSQ requires you to do them, or B. you somehow fall behind the MSQ in terms of level, which shouldnt happen until like....probably Shadowbringers content.
I'm about to reach 50, just trying to level up my Warrior
is it better to hold divination for the e5s enrage or just use it
i can /reply, but not /tell
if we're fairly close to enrage
I am constantly one or 2 levels behind my main quests because that's what I focus on
If you're only getting 1 more use out of any raid buff, coordinate with your group on when to pop it
You're doing /tell "Bob Jones"@Server right Myst?
Same goes.with pots
yes
So if its the last pot you can save it for the mega raiid buff window
it used to work
When specifying a World other than your own, the message can only be sent to PCs that are on your friend list or recruiting party members via the Party Finder.
No they need to leave it exactly as is
just like the fact that you can't join a party when crafting ???
We dont need cross-realm spam tells, which is what would happen if they removed that restriction most likely.
When tanking, should I join the stack?
yes
unless in specific situations where you need to keep the boss away
but those are fairly uncommon
It's usually not a big deal if you don't but every little bit helps
is there currently any way to get ala mhigan earrings or aetheyte earrings?
nope
dang
How much allegory does it take for a full crystarium set?
is there a general set/meld guide for scrip farming with min/btn?
got t80 gear just don't know how to meld it

@vocal shell 5k~
mm, thanks
is there a way to comment out lines in macros?
by comment out lines, you mean putting something into say or party chat?
no
I assume he means more like when writing code in other languages. A line that doesnt do anything
i'd like to be able to ignore a line sometimes
and if i take out the symbol at the beginning of the line, have the macro not ignore that line
no
mmk
i'll just make a separate macro then
some classes need innovation for my custom delivery macro, some don't
idk why, they're all using handking gear lol
specialist?
If the stats are identical, then you should run your macro through teamcraft
i'll look real quick
because you're probably not "needing innovation on some classes", you're probably getting RNG from conditions
identical stats
Then it has to be RNG from conditions
Easy way to fix that
Add tricks of the trade immediately before great strides
That way if its excellent when you would hit great strides, it consumes the excellent and goes poor on great strides, going back to normal for byregots
oh true
what's a good, fast way to cycle through allies while playing with a controller? I managed to get to aiming at the right enemy with L1 + R2, but is there an easy way to do the same thing to allies, so I heal the right one?
should I remove physick off my hotbar as a summoner?
yes
Yes because you cannot cast it
well, no you can
what do you mean, I can cast it?
so like, it's not even good for emergencies?
Okay that's funny, so
and use the shield
I just recently levelled SMN on my reroll, and it of course inherited the hotbars from my previous character.
I never looked at Physick in the spellbook, and apparently "Physick from ~1.5 years ago" is now "SCH Physick"
lol
No wonder i thought they couldnt cast it
Hmm, what was that? i dont recall that from back during my God Kefka farm days before i got burned out and quit.
Then again....we didnt have a SMN so i probably wouldnt have known
SMN and SCH's physick both scaled off mind in SB
that means SMN physicks is weak AF
LB gauge has a massive bonus if you heal someone who is at low hp (<10% iirc)
so people unequip and re-equip to drop their hp
smn spam physick which constantly gets the LB buff since their heal is weak sauce and they stay in the critical LB zone for a long time
boom, free LB3
is there a way to tell how much bonus xp is left of this buff?
No
aw
When it is gone, you just use another one
guys how do u equip and hold out the offhand weapon for culinarian
i wanna do gpose with a knife
Doesn't exist afaict
That doesnt look like a CUL knife to me
its the tonberry knife
looks like tonberry knife
Personally speaking every Job is good aside from Monk
Huh, interesting
OK... So is there a way to play around with your offhand knife?
no, its making use of certain third party tools to show it off
There you go, Princessa
model swap mod i reckon
My guess is Paladin combat stance with model swap
i swear i recall like another class once u crafted with an item that uses the off hand (like spinning wheel or hammer) would show up maybe im mistaken >.>
every crafter/gathere combat stance is gladiator combat stance iirc
how official is the gamerescape site? bc i pulled this png from there
I mean, yes the off hand does show when you're crafting certain items
its not official at all
its a player ran site
gotcha
They will show up in the animation and you can gpose said animation, but you don't get to do other poses with it
man squenix cucking me i wanted a yandere photo taking and i was promised showing up knife
A fair number of low level rogue knifes are similar ish looking
hmmm... maybe try BLU sharpened knife?
i dont recall the animation but it might be cool
!action sharpened knife
Deals physical damage with a potency of 220.
Additional Effect: Potency is increased to 450 when target is stunned
At this point, tonberries' predilection for sharpened knives is well known. By manipulating aether to harness feelings of resentment, one hones a keener blade for driving into the heart of the enemy. Naturally, being beset by this attack while unable to move is a uniquely harrowing experience.
Tonberry King / The Wanderer’s Palace
Type: Physical
Aspect: Slashing
Rank: 4
Depending on your shot composition, Ninja/Rogue might be better because they held the knife backward
yea
ty
can get baits back sometimes if you desynth
just vendor/toss them if you cant be bothered to, they are all lvl 1 fish so they dont level your desynth
oh
that sucks
any of them give anything other than bait?
or literally just dump?
Dump

Hnnnnggg

Do some fates?

Here's an actual question: Any idea how the game decides which fates get the XP bonus thing?
meh, don't have any high level enough fates to worry about this. I'll just get it with the roulettes tomorrow
lightspeed works with ascend?
So is there a better way to get aether oil for anima without having to wait a total of 5 weeks by doing the weekly quest?
buy them with poetics
they're in then (special arms) section when talking to auriana or hismena
oh okay, thank you!!
is there a way to make the icons/timers/images of specific buffs bigger?
also, is there a way to bind a skill to a single hotbar? (i.e. only using one square and not the entire grid)
for specific buffs no
put a skill on a separate hotbar and turn off the empty spaces
@leaden ginkgo
probably a caster
Does SMN share levels with SCH?
yes
Weird. Why?
because they have the same starting class
you gain class exp not job exp
and since they both use arcanist the exp goes into both
Hmm. Just feels strange that I could jump over and be a SMN with no experience except to lvl 30.
Just trying to find a DPS class to level. I tried out DRK tanking and didn't really enjoy it. I love SCH, but as we chatted about previously, I'm going to hit the lvl cap before I run out of MSQ.
SMN have their own job quests, naturally, meaning you'd have to do both for your skills.
Low complexity and good for high ping being important criteria 🙂
@lime geode DNC has its intricacies but it’s in my limited experience fairly ping friendly and while there’s a lot of buttons to push in literally random order it made sense pretty quickly to me
Ok, some googling says RDM and BLM rank on the easier side as well. Not sure how they do for ping though, thought they needed low ping.
I mean every class is affected by latency. A lot.
I get it - as there's a round trip from the server to me and back and my ping is about 190ms.
So I end up in AOE that I shouldn't sometimes.
Every class has that issue
I would say RDM is the least screwed by ping of the three casters
Latency’s main affect in end content as I understand it comes in the form of oGCD weaves
The healers feel the most forgiving - unless you're letting your tank get super low.
Yeah I imagine, I'm only at lvl 70 in post-heavensward. So not even close to end game.
But basically you should be able to do 2 oGCDs per weave window, and too high ping says no
Well spell queuing does help
Weave windows being the period after an instant cast fwiw
RDM is the least screwed of the casters because they have the most weave windows - every second spell they use is Dualcasted and thus gives you time to burn oGCDs
At least as I understand it
I'll give it a shot. And perhaps dancer if I don't like that.
So worst case scenario of you have 2 oGCDs you want to use you use one, cast a spell, Dualcast, and use the other
I like Dancer a lot for avoiding those AoEs as it has essentially free movement due to being a ranged physical DPS
As well as it having an extra “aaa get me out of this AoE” button in En Avant
Thanks for the advice
SMN and BLM have weave/movement windows as well in the form of instacast ruins for SMN and triplecast for BLM
just need more thought compared to RDM
Aye, though SMN doesn’t help the “needs an extra class to level” issue when the main class is SCH 😦
ah i see, go BLU? 
BLU is indeed always the answer
are there any good resources for which minions are good in lord of verminion? all the lists/posts I find about it are outdated
Wow I didn't realise how far I was from stormblood - I'm only at the end of 3.1!
At least it doesn't look as bad as post-ARR
Oh so I hope you still have at least half your tissue box left
But you’ll notice immediately that each set of patch quests for HW is much shorter than what you saw through ARR
Lot more cutscenes tho 🤔
But no RDM till stormblood 😄
Yeah ya can
Yeah love the cutscenes! Feels like watching a movie.
Ah it's just ownership of the expansion, not having to be in it to do RDM and dancer?
rdm/sam simply require lvl 50 and have stormblood
Got it
they don't have msq requirements
yea, they learned their lesson with the HW's jobs being locked behind MSQ.
same with dnc/gnb, simply need 60/shadowbringers
all expansion jobs afterwards can be gotten in the 3 starting cities
Makes sense - I should have figured it out as I saw the Gunbreaker guy in Gridania.
RDM is in Ul’dah and starts at 50, DNC is by Limsa aetherite and starts at 60

Hi so im trying to create a new character on famfrit, but it says its not allowing new characters. If I keep refreshing will I eventually be able to create a new one or is it something that takes long to change?
tbh shouldn't be too much longer since its a temporary lock based on how many people are currently logged in
and its getting late so most people should be sleeping
I see so it something that in a few hours it could open up and allow me to create? I have a few friends there so I don't mind waiting if it wont be something like days or weeks lol
ya usually opens up during late night/early morning
Cool thanks appreciate the help.
is there a lance with a design close to this one?
Weird wonder
Do making alts
Benefit the Main chara, at all?
Or is it better to imagine each chara is its own 'thing'
Every character you make is completely separated from one another
The only thing they actively share are account-wide items
Righto then
the only way your alts are going to benefit your main is if you're in the same fc as them
and use the company chest as a means of 'ferrying' items over
Thank yeh for shooting my fleeting feeling of "do i want an alt'
ANd tis a good thanks :,D

Anyone can help me with the zombification during sophia ex?
I'm pretty sure that we did the stack correctly, but we are consistently getting zombified for some reason
I don't understand
are u talking about the first demiurge stack thing?
or just in general ppl are getting zombified?
are u guys standing between him and the targeted party member?
is everyone being zombified or just a few?
usually a few
its happened to my parties too. but usually at the end of the add phase and we clear the dps check np
but i have no idea why either, tho its harmless
but if it happens midway, def someone is getting hit by something
is it midway or at the end?
at the end
We were wondering if something went wrong during the stack
but everything looked good
do I need to upgrade crafter gear at 71 or can I delay until 80? also if I upgrade is yellow crafter scrip (at least the tools) good or is that a waste of scrip?
depends on ur method of lvling
and yeah if its at the end, it usually just happens cuz the debuff doesnt wear off fast enough for some ppl.
Lv70 scrip gear is decent to hold you to 80
But you can always grab some vendor gear at the crystarium
for DRK, I should be getting 5 uses of bloodspiller per delirium cast right?
Keeping the mainhand offhand up to date every couple levels will make a huge difference in craft difficulty but not end of the world
yeah for crafting armor I was more inclined to do that cause the scrip gear is per class which is a bit insane but I also would like to maybe save on gil for tools at least
@leaden ginkgo yes
There's the handling set which is universal for crafters
oh? damn must have not seen that
You only get zombiefied if your HP drops to 0
You should have the hand/landking set from yellow scrips
the handking's set
not the class specific set
Its better than the class specifc
will look for that then nice
u can also get zombified if the debuff stays on you for too long
Its under 70 gear 2 or something
For Sophia EX?
yep
but for some reason, and it happened even during HW days, the zombified doesnt come off and u just get a few ppl who get zombied at the end of the add phase
its harmless tho and its fixed by just baiting the zombies to the good side
so no one dies
True
How much is it for a name change?
10$
is there something like eorzea collection for different faces/hairstyles you can setup?
does reprisal and feint stack?
Yes
sick thanks

i just redeemed the 30k mgp hairstyle but cant find it in my aesthetician. Does the great lengths hairstyle not work on viera?
viera gets nothing but the hair u get initially
No.
seen a lot of ads in my server so far
theyll implement it one day 
how do i put a minion on my shoulder?
thats even more wack
/beckon certain minions
Note that if you’re a Lalafell they instead go on your head.
or stand still for awhile for others
There used to be a glitch with grouppose that would put any minion on your head/shoulder.
It was very fun, even though only you saw it.
thats amazing
bucket minion glitch where 
is there a reason they removed harmless glitches?
Maybe they don’t want to set a precedent for what is okay/not okay? And there could always be more exploitive versions that could relate to harmless versions
Either way it’s 🤷♂️
true. but i miss sliding around while doing hildy's dance
is there a macro command that can hide specific hotbars?
Yes
Yes
will we be getting any new crafter quests in 5.3?
where is the level 80 white mage quest that gives u a special title
its south shroud
oh ty
if i hide the duty list during a dungeon, does it also hide the dungeon info or just the quests?
Is the squadron stuff hard to learn?

@deft quiver whole thing
rip
im just now buying the complete edition, im a lv 35 monk, I vaguely remember something someone mentioned about having ai in your dungeons that get stronger over time to help instead of playing with other players, what is it called?
that's something you can access through your grand company in the city states, but you need to be a certain rank with them to access that feature
Do people not do PvP stuff in 14 anymore? I want some of the gear, but i guess enough people dont play it.
if you're a monk, your grand company is probably the flames, so go talk to them and see what you need to do to go up the ranks with them. generally it'll be grand company hunts and the like
grand company hunts okay ill check that out asap once my game installs
depends on the time of day, @wicked lark, and what DC you're a part of. I'd try after the daily reset for the best chance of seeing people queue
@deft quiver individual macros are macros that your current character can access. Shared are account-wide macros
How do i unlock the lvl 52 and 54 Lancer quests? The questgiver doesnt have any quests for me
you need to be on the heavensward main scenario quest before you can pick up those job quests

Forgive the noob question.... What’s prog?
progression
a team gets together and practices to eventually get the clear
Ah ok and pug what does that mean in mmo slang
public group
Pug is short for that or pick up group. Randoms in other words
random ppl team
those can turn out to be a horrible idea in elite content
they are ok for regular stuff but if you want to clear the hardest content you will need to prog it most likely
or get lucky on a pug
does the DoW job I assign my retainer matter at all?
No, all have the same loot pool.
In terms of what they can get, no.
BUT
Their level can only go as high as you are for that class
I see
i have heard that crafting jobs are better for retainers?
So if your warrior is only level 40. then a Marauder/Warrior retainer can only go as high as 40.
retainers can't be crafters.
They can be gatherers, but Battle retainers can still be decent income for some monster drops
like fleece, spoken blood, and diremite web
but the rng on that i guess is horrible?
Hunting ventures where you choose specific items to get have no RNG besides some of the items being high-quality.
Thank you
so if i have 9 retainers and set them to get spoken blood, i get 9?
Is there any side quest series like ||eden|| in stormblood?
and sell em all
Is there any side quest series like ||eden|| in stormblood?
@mossy tartan as in alliance raids?
The amount you get per hunting ventures is boosted by the item level for battle retainers
I think base yield is 10 items per hunting venture
and hunting ventures are like 50 minutes or an hour long.
so i can get a shit ton of loot with 9 retainers
if you can keep supplying them with ventures, then yeah.
do ventures cost?
yes, all of the expansions have their own 8 man raid series @mossy tartan
stormblood's 8 man is the omega series
heavensward is alexander, and a realm reborn is binding coil of bahamut
Thank you
binding coil is hell synced
You can get Ventures through various methods, but the main/easy methods are through your grand company for GC seals, and The Hunt for Allied Seals/Centurio Seals
what is phantasmagoria?
Tomestones for level 80 gear.
Like poetics. Level 80 tomes without a weekly cap.
so for crystarium?
Allegory is for Crystarium
Phantasmagoria is used for deepshadow stuff, which is i460/470
Nah not glam
There are crafting materials that you can buy with phanta, which are used for the 480 stuff.
It's a good starting point for raiding
also if you don't want to spend gil on the Neo stuff
is there any dps req for e6s?
ik thats a taboo
but 5k dps ik wont get the job done
Balance says your group needs a total of 83.7-84.2k rDPS to barely beat the enrage.
raid dps
ahhh
is there a difference in speed for mounts ?
SDS Fenrir gets the main story speed boost from the get go but once you unlock those for the rest of the mounts it's all the same
good to know ty
Hey , I’m new to the game I was wandering can I renew my subscription in mog station with ATM card ???
I'm trying to get the RDM combo down @ lvl 50 on dummies. This feels hard and this is supposed to be an easy class. Is it just repetition?
!faq 50rdm
Yeah I've got that open 🙂
then it's just getting it into muscle memory
Which part confuses you?
Food and tea/syrup I believe
whats the max i can go up to?
@warped nest - it's just a lot to remember, I think getting everything already at lvl 50 makes it harder, and I've focused pretty much only on healer until now
Have you tried removing all skills off the hotbar then add them back one by one as you practice using them?
No I put all the skills on to try and do a lvl 50 opener and then practiced on dummies
Maybe if I go through some lower lvl dungeons
My personal regime is removing all skills off the hotbar. Add one back at a time, as I read tooltip and use it on the dummy
Dummy don't hit back and I can focus on seeing what does what and figure out how to best arrange my hotbar to make using skills easier and smooth
Yeah, trying to figure out where to put stuff on the hotbar is actually kind of tricky.
That I can't exactly help because I am on crosshotbar (controller)
I love the customisability - it's fantastic.
But it's an infinite number of combinations and layouts 🙂
Your bread and butter single target combo and your low cooldown time Ability (both AOE and Single Target) should be the easiest to press
AOE weaponskill/spell can be further, stuff you don't want to press by accident is even further out
Last thing you want to consider is making sure your bread and butter stuff can be easily accessed while moving
@acoustic island With food, medicine, and the Soul of the (Crafter) it comes out to 632 CP
when should you attempt the Ifrit battle you unlock after ARR MSQ?
(which, you don't need that much. You'll be spending a shitload of time on extra steps unless you're actually trying to max out your melds, in which case, you're insane, please find help.)
I just looked it up and it says it's only at i67, which I think I'm just under
Ifrit is still in the ARR MSQ
Thanks @warped nest - I think some low level dungeons will help and I'll take everything else off the hotbar
all of them except for the Eden ones
after the preatorium I mean
A lvl 30 dungeon would have most of the basics for RDM.
Ifrit Hard: you should have your iLvl 90 gear from your level 50 Job Quest + Ironworks Accessories(iLvl 120) you can buy with Poetics from Mor Dhona
yeah I have the job quest gear, I was gonna save up my poetics for the level 60 gear but if it lets me do content while I wait for the patch to trim down MSQ I guess I could get some gear
There's no reason to try and save up your poetics.
don't bother waiting for level 60 gear if you only just beaten the base ARR story
You'll run into the cap far before then with the amount of dungeons and trials the ARR patch MSQ throws at you
you'll need to reach level 58 in the story to be able to buy it
oh gotcha, so the patches give you a lot poetics? I didn't realize that. I thought people had to grind them out
well, yes, if you include all of the optional dungeons
you'll have so many you won't know what to do with them all
ohh very nice
and they cap at 2k
plus the level 50 raids
also daily roulettes too.

If you can stomach running Castrum Meridianum or Praetorium once a day, that's 500/600 Poetics a day for very little actual effort from Main Scenario Roulette.
you know that help I can't hold all these limes image macro meme
I guess I'll get some ironworks gear then! They look badass
that's basically ARR patches with poetics
thanks for clearing that for me then
how or when can I get chocobo to help me fight ?
does the MSQ itself provide poetics or do you unlock optional hard dungeons?
yes
(in a more worded out way: mandatory dungeons and trials grant first time bonuses)
@sinful monolith complete the quest "My Feisty Chocobo" in South Shroud near Camp Tranquil
(100 poetics every first time bonus)
that's a lot
thanks again
and to Utaya, once you do that quest you can give them these greens that activate the chocobo to fight with you. They're super cheap
oh cool im actually next to that camp doing msq LOL
what a coinkydink
Does that iconic dragoon lance appear somewhere in game?
the spear with the reverse axehead
this one
Yeah...
That’s Gae Bolg. Dragoon’s first relic weapon.
!iglam gae bolg
This is your AF1
Yeah you can start the questline at lv 50
It's an early step so it's fairly easy to get
the armor is just drachen i guess?
Yes
Yeah you get it from the armour coffer frok your lv 50 jobquest
Yeah
But you can glamour it
So you have the looks of AF but the stats of ironworks
itemlevel 90 compared to 120/130 for (augmented) ironworks
I believe the final relic weapon step is i135 but it takes so much time and money that it's not worth it
Is there a way to have a macro target the closest person?
is there a way to rename my choco that comes out to help me fight
yes, if you go the npc who first gave it to you i believe you can rename it there.
for instance, Cingur the choco porter in gridania offers a renaming service, though they weren't the one who gave it to me
you can talk to the chocobo keeps in the major cities to rename it
or if you have access to a stable via free/personal house or apartment, can do it there as well
feels good, a gm told me he renamed mine but he didnt, gotta do it fast before I get caught 8 )
ty for the quick help
@rare karma IIRC the macro line would be /tpc
System > Macro > should tell you a keybind to press to open up the giant list of macro commands at the bottom of the macro menu
Is it better to conserve a swiftcast ascend if I have < 15s on my lightspeed CD? So I can cast all 3 together and save 50% of the mana, assuming the target isn’t in dire need of an ascend (MT is alive, etc)
Waiting 15 seconds would mean the person you're raising will miss out on 6 gcd
Unless you're in a really tight spot manawise I'd say to not wait
Especially if a cohealer or a tank needs raising
Absolutely, I always break this habit if it’s a healer or tank that needs it
Anyways, thank you
If you feel like you're gonna have too little mana to keep the tank alive I'd consider waiting
But it's all very case to case
Mostly I save my ascend for lightspeed to come off CD when I have 5k / less than 5k mana left
Sometimes I get a cohealer that seldom applies regen on the MT, so I’m forced to use GCDs to heal him, thus less mana left
Which then sparked the idea of conserving ascend until I have lightspeed, as I run out of mana fast if the cohealer doesn’t heal the tank as much

As an ast you generally wanna have the other healer do more of the raising anyway if possible, since they got much better mana management tools
Yep
it's that or face even more price scalpers than there already is
lesser of two evils isn't saying much, but
We can trade houses ?
Nope and that’s why this system exists. It was deemed a big enough problem to implement the timers.
technically, yes you can
but the issue was people were selling houses for grossly overpriced prices
like smalls which are like between 3-4mil, were being sold for 20+mil
Yeeee
For WAR, I want to align my Fell Cleaves with Berserk/Inner Release. Does DRK have a similar thing with Edge of Darkness?
Or is it just a... use whenever, screw alignment thing?
yes and no
The only ways to trade houses it to sell an FC with a house, or already have a house and buy the plot using relocation
fit 5 bloodspillers into delirium
edge of darkness is whatever, it's basically just huton
Okay, so there's no particular MP management thing going on, just use all my MP recover moves on cooldown and just use Edge of Darkness on cooldown
drk - 5 BS into Delirium
pld - 4 HS + 1 Confit into Requiescat
war - some? fell cleaves + 1 upheaval + 1 onslaught into Inner Release
gnb - 1 Cartridge combo + 2 Burst Strikes + Sonic Break + Bow Shock into No Mercy
conversely, you don't want to have no MP, you don't want to drop Darkside, and you don't want to overcap
@jolly sorrel pretty much that until you get to 70
you will overcap if you sleep on it, especially at higher levels
At 70 you unlock Blackest Night, and you should ensure that you always reserve 3000 MP for it.
and ofc you can burn some MP into edge if you see a trick attack or divination or suchlike
Hmkay, I see.
(Very sorry for the quality, all I could find) what’s the weapon and for which job is it?
It’s a book
I have no idea what im looking at
yeah gonna need more than that chief
uh
you got a full image?
nope :/
Garuda book maybe?
just by the offensive glow it could be a thordan book
What’s the name? I’ll check it
will check
It's a SCH or SMN weapon
The hue seems light turquoise
not that's not thordan
yeah it isn't
that's bismark
thordan glow is less offensive
how the hell'd you work that one out
like you're probably right but what black magic is that
i can't even see that much but
if it's right it's right
and it is the right shade of offensively-prevalent blue
can't think of any other blue glow for weapon that looks similar to it
hmm i saw a limit break gauge in my dungeon but didn't know how to use it, is it a skill I need to assign to a hotkey?
yeah, its in your actions and traits menu. in the general section
oh wow ok
you'll need to add it to your hotbar, but make sure you put it somewhere you can't fat finger it easily
Be aware that Limit Break is a party-wide ability, not personal.
oh yeah im a monk I figured I should learn to use it loool
Mostly it will be used by melee dps (like MNK) to deal the last 10%-ish of a dungeon's final boss's health bar.
Melee like monk are basically expected to lb bosses yeah
In dungeons its usually used at the final bossfight by a melee dps or during a big pull by a ranged/caster
Since ranged/caster have line/circle aoe
Although there are times when ranged classes are expected to use it as well.
Thank you for the weapons, had to go for a moment
Is there way to level up faster than potd?
Highest level dungeon you have unlocked over and over with fast queues
for the seeking inspiration quest for the anima weapon. Do I have to be the same class with the relic weapon equipped or can I play any?
Yes @lofty pulsar
\
@median locust it took me 10 mins for one dungeon que
yes to which one..
I'm astro
unlucky then
@lofty pulsar same class
Same class but you don't have to have the weapon equipped iirc
And potd barely giving me 1 level up within 2-3 51-60 runs
no, seeking inspiration doesn't require you to the same job
you just need to have the quest active
Really?
its the singing cluster stage
Would make sense cause you can pick that quest up literally anytime
even when not doing a relic
ty
I got 4 classes at lvl 69 and I'm trying to keep my road to 70 for as up as possible. I want to level up bard, even if it's just to 30. Any tips to go from 1 - 30? Haven't done that in a while.. PoTD?
I thought it was the do X dungeon part
You can level jobs past 70 and not lose road to 70 lol
That can be done by any class
it just disappears until you switch back to a job under 70
As long as u didn't finish 90 days of the buff @median inlet
You lose road to 70 when your character is 90 days old or your server stops being preferred, whichever happens last
It goes away permanently when your character is 90 days old AND your server isn't preferred anymore
1-15: hunting log, fates, palace of the dead
15+ daily roulette, highest level dungeon, palace of the dead
1-15 you can really just do hunting log, fates, sidequests. PotD is slower than those options at that level I feel
and yeah when people say Palace of the Dead for levelling, they mean floors 51-60 over and over
1-10 also works if you don't have your job stone yet
It’s time efficient but it can be excruciatingly boring if you run it too many times in a row.
hence why I don't level my jobs in PotD or HoH lol
Also you have to hope you don't get people who hunt every chest on every floor
Is bismarck extreme solo-able by using unsync as a level 80 white mage?
Might need a lucky misery crit on a snake
I don't see why not
You need burst damage on the adds, if they're close to each other they turn invincible
You're unlikely to nuke the snakes fast enough so they will take a while anyway, but they shouldn't be able to kill a healer
Not invincible, just much tankier
They don’t become invincible, they just take like -90% damage
How will I separate them? If I’m only one player
You can’t
you can't
You burn one down as fast as possible before they tether and then whittle it down
i've seen SAM do it by blending one of the fuckers before the vuln down hits
At 70 you would run around with them until one of them stopped to AoE
Is it possible to use fluid aura on one, then kill the other?
Nope
Or repose?
Probably immune
probs immune to it
ah
Just hit one as much as possible and then heal through it
You're not gonna reach enrage time anyway
Okay, thank you everyone
sorry if this is a dumb question but i'm really confused rn
so both my WAR and GNB are using the same armor set (shire if it matters, half of them augmented) and my WAR has slightly higher skill speed, i'm guessing because of higher level
however my GNB's GCD is 2.31 seconds while my WAR's is 2.41
is this normal? is GNB just inherently faster or something?
Its just the higher level
The higher your level, the more stats you need to hit the same thresholds
All jobs are the same speed
so basically if i don't upgrade my armor, but i level up
my GCD will increase?
Will decrease
Since your skill.speex hasn't changed and the requirements for that same thresholds has gone up
so slower then?

Its why you need thousands of skill speed to hit something like 2.3s gcd at 80 but only a few hundred at lower level
Its so stats dont get out of control.and so we dont have like 1s gcd at 80 and 100% crit
Since there's a Tooooooooooon of substats at cap
Anyone know what they’re doing to ishgard restoration in patch 2.3?
Adding the next stage of it
It’s not ending?
So if anything it will probably be like what happened in 5.2
No its not ending
Restoration will last us the whole expansion
So housing is not until the end of expansion?
Like one more year
If.its even true
Housing was never confirmed, just kinda hinted at
