Or wait, what does the starter ed include nowadays

tidal yarrow Jul 23, 2020, 10:33 AM

#

is it possible to have customized side mouse buttons while playing on ps4?

obtuse sierra Jul 23, 2020, 10:33 AM

I didn't register it yet, but I'm still having trouble starting the free trial, it keeps requiring me to enter the key

#

Uh if I start potd with a class, say acn, then try to continue later with a smn/sch, can I not do that?

candid raptor Jul 23, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

No

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

Ah shit

candid raptor Jul 23, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

You stay as the class/job you started

obsidian patio Jul 23, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

You'd need to start a new save file for using a different class

#

but you'll keep your aetherpool levels

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:36 AM

#

Running level 40-50 with an acn is gonna be hard

#

It's not a different class though, just a job within the same class

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

Does anyone know how micons work? I'm trying to label my macros so they look better than just a white M icon

#

I know you're supposed to write /micon "whatever item or icon"

obtuse sierra Jul 23, 2020, 10:37 AM

#

Did you make sure to download from this site? you may have downloaded the full launcher and not the trial one
@obsidian patio I bought the game on steam, and downloading the trial from steam just seems to reinstall the full version 😦

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Literally just make your first line /micon Aetherflow

#

or so

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

But it doesn't display as such

#

Well I did that, but for some reason the micon command doesn't register

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Try the full ver /macroicon?

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Or change the icon

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Last line preferably

obsidian patio Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

did you press enter after typing the line?

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

Click out of the window

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

It could be caps accurate too?

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

So it updates

obsidian patio Jul 23, 2020, 10:38 AM

#

the icon won't update if you're still editing the macro

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

Wait, so pressing enter updates the macro? Clicking off it doesn't actually stop the editing process?

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:39 AM

#

random example

📎 0nqxxpA.png

#

./micon should work as an alternative to /macroicon however

#

./merror off just stops it spamming if it can't fire

#

which is frequently, cause it's a macro /shrug

#

Oh hm yeah if it's a multi word ability

#

You need quote marks

#

" "

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

This is what the macro looks like. I pressed enter, but the icon didn't update

📎 Macro_icon.PNG

#

The macro itself works

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:40 AM

#

As a low level scholar, am I supposed to use galvanize more often than physick, until I start running low on mp

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

no-oo not really

#

shields aren't dead valuable really

#

and adlo is expensive

#

scholar's main tools it sticks with forever come slightly later

#

!action lustrate

zinc orbitBOT Jul 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

**Lustrate** : lvl 45 SCH (1.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

Restores target's HP.
Cure Potency: 600 Additional Effect: Increases Faerie Gauge by 10 Aetherflow Gauge Cost: 1

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

If shields aren't valuable does that mean scholars suck lol, since I hear that's their main thing

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:41 AM

#

no, it isn't

#

'scholar is the shield healer' is a bit of a tired statement really

#

they have shields, but nobody really uses shields outside of ultimate

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

What

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

No

#

That's not

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

Just plop down a shield in between pulls

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

The hell

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

Before fights

#

Downtime

#

Plenty of opportunities

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

i mean yeah, sure, but am I gonna be having 100% shield uptime if I'm playing sch? hell no

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

Shield are useful if and only if they block off damage instead of just expiring away

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

If you need to gcd heal too

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:42 AM

#

So avoid using adlo in combat?

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

I mean at lower level you don't have much

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

You claim that it is not useful outside ultimate

#

That just

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Since it heals much more than physick

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Unless I have a lot of MP to spare

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

I'd rather just heal, frankly

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:43 AM

#

Tldr, you don't overwrite your own shield

#

And if you shield, you make sure that the shield is gonna soak up loads of damage

green raft Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

@proven bay your problem is that that action doesn't exist anymore

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

How do I make sure the shield takes a lot of damage?

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

basically, you'll probably get some more use out of adlo for now in light of not having much else, but once you get more tools the real frequent use adlo has in terms of healing rotation is oh-shit emergency tactics

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

Observe what the tank is doing

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

@green raft What should I do instead then?

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

If the tank is pulling a lot of enemies

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

Yeah, fight knowledge and basic knowledge of how much a tank's gonna take helps out

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:44 AM

#

Or the tank is going to take a big one from the boss

carmine patio Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

is the unicorn mount you get from level 30 conjurer account wide or only for that character?

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

That also helps for

#

!action excogitation

zinc orbitBOT Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

**Excogitation** : lvl 62 SCH (45.0 second cooldown)(Instant cast time)

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

Just for that character

proud willow Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

only that character

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

Account wide @carmine patio

twilit python Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

need to get to shadowbringers in order to buy things with white scripts correct?

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

Think again, Trev

#

Yes, loli

twilit python Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

thanks rooHug

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

My friend regularly uses the unicorn with his Scholar brug

#

The one he got from the white mage quest

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:45 AM

#

Account wide means if you have 3-4 other characters

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

OH

green raft Jul 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

that's up to you, there aren't really any actions that display icons for the twelve anymore. you can use byregot's blessing for byregot

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

Never mind

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

Those characters got the mount too

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

I misunderstood

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

Np

carmine patio Jul 23, 2020, 10:46 AM

#

ok thanks guys

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Plus scholar doesn't really have a 'use less mp' tool, so if you're trying to maximise your dps output you'll be trying to avoid MP healing

#

but that's a bit specific

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Okay, now it works. Thanks @green raft Is there a way to see what macroicons are available for use?

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Normally I never run out of MP but adlo is hoo boy rip mp

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

For the time being, just use shield based on our advises

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

yeah

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Gotcha thanks

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

adlo is considerably expensive lmao

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

You use shield only if they do the necessary heavy lifting

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

hence my personal preference for literally anything that does the same work

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:47 AM

#

Otherwise you are wasting shield and MP

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

But it's also my preference for off-GCD healing tools so /shrug

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

I like low level scholar because most of the time I don't even need to heal with eos/selene doing what's needed

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

That's fun but it won't last long lmao

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

Yeah that's why I clarified low level lol

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

yeah

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

I know it won't be easy later on

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:48 AM

#

0 direct heals haukke manor is pleasant though ngl

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

I did a run yesterday where I saw a tank multi pulling for the first time ever on haukke

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

And yeah, adlo can serve a different purpose as a last-resort tool with emergency tactics

green raft Jul 23, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

@proven bay you can use every item or job action in the game

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:49 AM

#

Had to actually heal him myself

#

and emotes

#

etc etc

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

But I love having a scholar when playing a tank in shb dungeons, multi pulling two groups and taking 0 damage for a few seconds feels amazing

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

cause under emergency tactics, off the top of my head I think adlo and succor become cure 2 and medica

#

i may be off on the potencies

#

but it's close

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

Ah, thanks you two AYAYA

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

Emergency just turns the shield hp into raw healing instead

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:50 AM

#

yes, exactly

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

Don't forget that crit add more shield

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

Oh interesting

warped nest Jul 23, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

Which means more health under emergency tactics

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

And if it's gone somehow really south, yeah you can crit adlo and heal even more

#

so you can recit it

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 10:51 AM

#

So succor would heal 2.25x as much as normal

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:52 AM

#

Is there a way to hide the CP/GP/mana cost of macro icons?

half kraken Jul 23, 2020, 10:53 AM

#

They barely take any space

proven bay Jul 23, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

Well yes, but it annoys me that it's there. I just want the icon, not the cost thing

#

But if it isn't possible then I guess I'll have to accept it

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 10:54 AM

#

not that i'm personally aware of

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 11:04 AM

#

You can't

Does anyone know if the housing counter is reset or not when someone relocated?

obsidian patio Jul 23, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

the auto-demolition timer? Not sure

real charm Jul 23, 2020, 11:07 AM

#

No I mean the buying timer

obsidian patio Jul 23, 2020, 11:08 AM

#

relocation doesn't do anything special to the timer.

real charm Jul 23, 2020, 11:09 AM

#

Ah so the plot timer will still continue instead of reset huh?

proud willow Jul 23, 2020, 11:09 AM

The buying timer for which plot? the one they just moved out of?

@sly zinc just a random guess, are you using the correct emote too?

#

Might be that your source is innacurate too and might need a different time

@obsidian wren Yes, I am using the /sit emote between 12:00-17:00 with clear skies at the proper location. I'm using the consolegames resource, although I wouldn't have any idea if it was accurate or not

sly zinc Jul 23, 2020, 11:20 AM

An old video suggests standing on the stump and then sitting down just to make sure

#

So not next to it

What stat should red mage focus on

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 11:27 AM

#

Aside from them from being decent gear to start raiding with/a very good headstart on gear when a new raid tier comes out I wouldn't say it outclasses the easy stuff to get @jade shadow

#

But it's great for money

sly zinc Jul 23, 2020, 11:28 AM

#

I've found crafting classes most useful when leveling secondary battle jobs myself - but I wouldn't level them with the idea of crafting your own equipment on your primary class. Even then, it's a matter of taste.

strong saddle Jul 23, 2020, 11:28 AM

Battle jobs?

@wintry chasm Great for money as in you can sell things you craft in the market? Or to npcs?

Depends on the item and server, but leveling gear, esp for tanks in my experiencr sell well

#

And good looking stuff for glamour usuallt sells for at least 20-30k

For low level stuff

Guys, I have a question. I got my first clear on E5s yesterday. But it was a "single chest reward" because people on the party had cleared it already that week.

If I do more clears I won't get any reward then, right?

@stark delta It is used for among other things crafting Darksteel Ingots, which are used in a lot of things that were end-game in ARR, and some of those things are still useful nowadays - for example, Free Company airships.

Anyone know how to force the borderless windowed resolution to be something other than native? E.g. I have a 4k native screen but want to run it at 2560x1440

gritty oracle Jul 23, 2020, 1:23 PM

set it to fullscreen, adjust resolution, switch back to borlerless

worked for me when xiv forced some random ass resolution on borderless

@mossy nest

I tried going from windowed to borderless, lemme try fullscreen to borderless

#

Yeah nope

#

That doesn't work either

you sure it doesn't retain the res?

mossy nest Jul 23, 2020, 1:27 PM

Positive

#

When I switch to borderless it goes native

Can tell by the way the UI resizes and the FPS drop

what about adding friends?

open coral Jul 23, 2020, 1:35 PM

That you should be able to do.

#

Basically, all of the restrictions on free accounts are to minimize the impact of RMT botters. If you can think of a way that a botter can abuse it, you probably can't do it on a free trial account.

Good day! I am planning to play 14 again (was beta tester, have not played since) I have few questions in regards to way new updates will uncap

If i start now and then get to Aug 11, what happens then? Do I still get the level 60 uncap all new players will get then?
Is lv 35 cap and 30 day for free concurrent? Or they're of independent of each other and do differ things?
If I buy complete or starter pack during my "trial" would my subscription extend?
What happens if I hit lv 35/60 play longer and then subscription lapses? Does my character gets locked out?

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 1:43 PM

#

The 30days free is from buying the game, the trial is forever until you buy

#

Once you buy, you can never go back

#

And the frew 30days is your sub

#

We dont know if people on trial will get the expanded stuff on the 11th

turbid dragon Jul 23, 2020, 2:24 PM

#

omgggg so cool. I'd love to have that for my inventory.

#

Generally I play with a controller but it's faster for me to just use mouse when I want to use an item

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:26 PM

#

You can put items in hotbars

#

if i want my chocobo in a certain color. can i feed it all the fruits in one go or do i have to wait some time inbetween each feeding?

little swift Jul 23, 2020, 2:27 PM

#

All at once

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:28 PM

#

Chocobo colors are strange. So, you can feed everything at once (though you should alternate what you're feeding, not feed all of one type then all of another type). Then you have to wait for basically a day.

#

Then you pray to RNGesus that it actually gives you what you want

#

When i was setting mine from default yellow to soot black it took 5 attempts to get it there, landed on neighboring colors every other time.

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

at what level should i start looking at my item levels?

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

Level 1

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

All the time

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

item level is king at all times

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

oh...

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:29 PM

#

Item level is king

#

If gear is higher ilvl than something else, its better 99% of the time

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

hmm kk gotcha,item level is everything

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

There's big ilvl jumps at 50, 60, 70 and 80

#

Since they were level caps

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

so at level 80,is there best in slot for everything or is there variety? like i can choose some other meta armor and still be good at my job

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Its because your character scales disproportionately hard off of your main stat, and weapon damage. These are purely determined by the ilvl of the item.

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

48 atm

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

is it possible to wear an item but have the aesthetics/appearance of a different item that isn't a premium microtransaction thing

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:30 PM

#

Yes, there's a best in slot

#

Theres not much mixing

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

There is a BiS that's been figured out for every job

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

You get gear for stats you want

Yes lumi

Glamour FAQ

'What is Glamour and how do I unlock it?'

Glamour is the process of changing an equipment's look into a different item with the use of Glamour Prisms. You can unlock the ability to glamour by doing the level 15 quests 'If I Had a Glamour' in Vesper Bay, West Thanalan. Although not required, you can unlock the ability to dye gear with the nearby quest 'Color Your World'. You can get the Orange Juice needed by talking to the nearby Merchant & Mender. Items used for glamouring are not lost upon use.

'How do I glamour? Where do I get more Prisms?'

Glamouring is done by right-clicking (Square or X on controllers) on the equipment you want to glamour and choosing the option 'Cast Glamour'. After clicking this you choose the item you want the appearance on the right half of the menu that opened up. You can get more Glamour Prisms by either crafting them after completing the quest 'Absolutely Glamourous', buying them from your Grand Company Quartermaster, or buying them from the marketboard.

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

And its not hard to attain either. Unlike WoW, you're not gonna be fighting the RNG gods for the right item to drop.

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

ah ok

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

kk gotcha thanks

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

Just fight people to win the loot

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

I'm only level 7 I'll do that eventually

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:31 PM

#

ahahahaha

#

~~And pray its not double boot drops again~~

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

Just do the quest when you get near it. MSQ takes you right past it at the time that you are able to do it.

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

oh yeah, early on if I'm too low level for an msq should I just be killing shit

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:32 PM

#

That should almost never happen, but early on if you're behind you should do your hunting log

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

oh I fucked up LOL I thought my lancer quest was msq

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

Just as important

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:33 PM

#

Yeah those unlock every 5 levels until 50. Then every 2 levels after that. Then every 3 levels from 60-70.

#

So do them as they are available

#

but dont go out of your way to level off other things to get there

#

MSQ is top priority

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

oh damn so i learn a new skill every 2 levels from 50-60?

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Go back and do your class/job quests as you hit the level threshold

#

New skill or trait, usually

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Yes, most the time

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

nice nice

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Depending on job

median locust Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

MSQ = msq

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

As some skills got trimmed

#

And moved

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

first thing at 50 to do is to get the 50 armor/wep right?

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:34 PM

#

Not all job quests give skills

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

First thing you should be doing at 50 is doing your 50 job quest

narrow kestrel Jul 23, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

For ARR classes though, you'll need to make it up to HW to continue past the level 50 job quest, I think

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:35 PM

#

Then, if you have tomestones of poetics, you can spend them on ironworks gear in mor dhona.

#

Then just grind MSQ until you get to Heavensward

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

hmm kk gotcha,thanks as always guys

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

Keep in mind that character level means extremely little while levelling. MSQ progress is almost all that matter.

#

Dont fall into the trap of wasting time on roulettes or dungeons that you dont need to be doing

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

char level is important for job quests though

#

been doing main quests and job quests only so far

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:36 PM

#

Yeah but all the job quests after the level 50 job quest are gated behind being in Heavensward content, so getting way ahead doesnt help

narrow kestrel Jul 23, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Unless there's dungeons/quests you're interested in doing, like Hildy, or Binding Coil, or some such

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Those are best done later

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

i am already over leveled for my msqs as i have that bonus till 70level thingy

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:37 PM

#

Ah, yeah

#

if you have road to 70, consider taking multiple jobs through at once

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

oh they will take advantage of that bonus too then 😮

gritty oracle Jul 23, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

To level btn/min 70 to 80, should I still spam diadem or switch over to leves?

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

Not only that, they'll also get armory bonus for being lower than your highest job. Which is multiplicative with the Road to 70 bonus.

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

oh dumb question...for this MSQ it says I need to get level i5 equipment...but I JUST started...

gritty oracle Jul 23, 2020, 2:38 PM

#

also make sure you're wearing your friendship circler

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

ok so as someone new to ff14 and first MMO...this is kinda confusing,so if i am a dragoon atm and i change to a bow char

#

can i do the job quests 1,5,10,15 etc one after the another?

#

or what?

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:39 PM

#

No

#

Jobs have their own levels

#

So for example

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

k so before turning in a quest i can change my job to level it up? zenwoke

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:40 PM

#

Generally no

#

The job needs to be high enough level to do the quest to turn in the quest

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

darn it

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

So if you have two jobs that are levelling parallel to one another you can do that to even out the exp gains, but you cant just start turning in level 70 quests on a level 1

slate oak Jul 23, 2020, 2:41 PM

#

lol fair enough

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

oh dumb question...for this MSQ it says I need to get level i5 equipment...but I JUST started...
@wanton shadow the vendor nearby sells i5 gear

unborn fox Jul 23, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

Soo new player here, if i start as a thaumaturge and want to play ninja do i have to start from 1 lvl at lvl 30?

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

1

#

gotta unlock rogue and level that up

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:45 PM

#

can you level up a class while doing stuff on another?

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

Depends what "doing stuff" entails, if you mean leveling a class while queuing for a dungeon on another you can do that

unborn fox Jul 23, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

"gotta unlock rogue and level that up" so that means i start again from lvl1?

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

Will just need to swap back to the queued up class when it's ready

#

Yes

unborn fox Jul 23, 2020, 2:46 PM

#

absolute beginner so no clue

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

All base classes start at lv1

#

Expansion jobs start higher

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:47 PM

#

so you can just equip another class item when turning in a quest then @wintry chasm ?

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

You can't turn in a quest on a class that doesn't meet the level requirement and of course some do require you to turn in on the same class

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

ah I see

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:48 PM

#

like beast tribe quests

unborn fox Jul 23, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

its a shame this game has no real pvp. big turnoff but the animations just feel so much more cool than ESO

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

so I'm on a preferred server, and once I hit 10 on my lancer I want to start leveling a white mage as well

#

am I able to realistically do both like that

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:49 PM

#

It has instanced PvP Keppada

#

hit level 10 on lancer, do it's level 10 class quest, then you can swap

#

Is it feasible to level both up high enough to do main story? Sure but you'd definitely have to slow your main story progression

#

If that's what you mean Lumi

fallen vigil Jul 23, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Hi I'm currently a white mage level 51 and I want to play astro. Should I grind to level 80 with white mage and then go astro or should I grind levels with astro as soon as I get it

#

because honestly white mage is kind of boring some times

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

oh hmm, when I asked about making a character on preferred world, they said it's really good because you can level 2-3 jobs at the same time

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

If you want to swap to Astro swap

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:50 PM

#

Do what you want

fallen vigil Jul 23, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

isn't it a bad idea tho

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

There's no bad ideas

fallen vigil Jul 23, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

since I basically lose all my exp from level 50 onwards

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

You dont

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

It is a great thing for leveling but I wouldn't say you can level multiple up fast enough that you can happily swap for main story

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

Its there for whenever you wanna go back

fallen vigil Jul 23, 2020, 2:51 PM

#

but like I have to restart from level 50 right

#

for astro

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

well whats the point of preferred server if the MSQ gets you yo endgame either way

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Astro starts at 30

fallen vigil Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

well then

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

dony you end up having to do the same amount of quests anyway

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Preferred helps levels alt

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

^

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

hmm I guess that could be good, I have no idea if I wanna be a lancer indefinitely

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:52 PM

#

Right

#

It's nice to have multiple options

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

I was told that crystal endgame content is harder to get into since it's less established etc

#

so it's a trade off

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

it's certainly less established than primal or aether, not impossible

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

Can always pay for transfer if you realllllllllly want go hardcore

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

Don't be like that

unborn fox Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

should i pick gathering professions or something like that early in the game?

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

You can be hardcore in Crystal

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

Its doable on crystal

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:53 PM

#

It's not like NO ONE raids in Crystal

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

precisely

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Or there is not good people there

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

to say it's less established is a fact, to say it's a dead raiding scene is stupid

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

right ok

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

i see folks here do both

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

oh yeah I wanted to ask if it's a good idea to get a profession really early on

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

do what you want

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

I played wow for 3 days and my friend told me it was super important to get one early on

faint flare Jul 23, 2020, 2:54 PM

#

Crafting is a whole new game

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

yeah really just do whatever

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

I'd probably wouldn't invest too much into crafting until you do patch 3.3 main story since you unlock a really really easy way to level them

#

But honestly just spamming leves isn't that horrible if you don't want to wait

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

you can get to 80 on a combat job without ever acknowledging it, also

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:55 PM

#

ok alright

#

oh I think last question for now

#

I was supposed to wait for a friend to start playing, but my dog woke me up and I was super bored after and now I'm level 8

#

can I join her for her early levels

#

still

agile laurel Jul 23, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

yeah

#

i mean getting to level 8 is probably gonna take all of an hour

#

if that

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Just remember main story has sections of solo instances where you'll just have to wait for her to finish

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

oh true

#

well ideally we both do them at the same time

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

Right

#

Just keep that in mind

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 2:56 PM

#

but I'm in toronto and shes australia so the timing can be...hard lol

#

I dont mind repeating stuff if I'm playing with her, so I just wanted to be sure I wasnt locking myself out of that

Only 1 real addon for a dps meter

Cause they're not needed

#

Unlike wow

dusty jungle Jul 23, 2020, 3:02 PM

It is ballistic missile, you are bound and can't move

#

normally suppose to stack

#

3rd hit is instant wipe; but both get bound

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 3:03 PM

#

btw worth mentioning addons aren't really officially supported unlike WoW (from my WoW understanding)
Usually they don't care but for things with ACT it's easier to just not talk to people in-game about it because you can get in a lot of trouble for harassing people using the DPS meter @wanton shadow

wanton shadow Jul 23, 2020, 3:04 PM

#

I don't think I'd ever use it to shame anyone, I'm more curious about my own performance

#

sounds like a dick move

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 3:04 PM

ya pretty much just use it for that

Either way, having a DPS meter at level 7 won't really be useful lol

does it track simple combat with monsters too?

To level btn/min 70 to 80, should I still spam diadem or switch over to leves?

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

Leves would have always been faster. If you still need to level crafting I'd stick to Diadem

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 3:19 PM

#

I spammed diadem / did the Crystalline Mean questlines.

but i was also levelling crafters simultaneous

Oh yeah do the mean stuff

So a friend of mine bought shb, and now wants to buy complete (they did the math and want complete). Will the game allow shb to be registered twice?

shB should come with all the previous expansions

gritty oracle Jul 23, 2020, 3:30 PM

they need base game still

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 3:30 PM

It...should really be cheaper to get base game and not complete

#

Are you sure?

gritty oracle Jul 23, 2020, 3:30 PM

idk told them to compare prices and they said they'll buy complete

wintry chasm Jul 23, 2020, 3:32 PM

Well you can't add the complete edition when you own the base game

I'm doing the firmament quests and I need to get cream yellow dye. The quest log also says I can craft it, but it's not in my crafting log. Is there a way to obtain dye recipes or what? (I know I can also buy it, I'm just intrigued at the concept of dye recipe books or whatever.)

as long as the server has at least one fiendly, active free company, and a functioning novice network, it's good for beginners

It's free as well if you transfer from a congested to a preferred server but there is no congested server IIRC

gritty oracle Jul 23, 2020, 4:43 PM

#

#

and then go to the stall next to the market district

#

and hand the gear and materials over to the npc

open coral Jul 23, 2020, 4:44 PM

#

Purchase the upgrade items appropriate to each piece from the "other" category on the same vendor you got the gear from, then take it to the gear upgrade npc also in Idyllshire.

#

#

If you augment the ring, you can wear one augmented and one unaugmented of the same ring.

#

It will be 1100 poetics to purchase the correct amount of upgrade items.

#

Plus 180 for a second ring after you've augmented the first.

#

full set?

open coral Jul 23, 2020, 4:47 PM

#

Yes

#

1 darkest gobdip, 5 tautest gobtwine, and 5 deepest gobcoat

halcyon glen Jul 23, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

Or you can run each 24-man from the relevant expansion once

#

In place of 1 upgrade item

kind eagle Jul 23, 2020, 4:49 PM

#

i just buy it

#

whats the shop called

halcyon glen Jul 23, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

What level?

open coral Jul 23, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

The vendor who upgrades your gear is called Seika

#

They're doing Shire upgrades

halcyon glen Jul 23, 2020, 4:50 PM

#

The vendor who sells the upgrade items is the same one you bought the armor from

#

The middle vendor in Rowena’s place in Idyllshire

open coral Jul 23, 2020, 4:51 PM

#

Make sure you buy the superlative versions of the upgrade items.

#

Not the lower versions. Those are for the second tier of gear, not the third.

What's a populated DC for NA? I was gonna go on the Famfrit server but i heard that DC is kinda yikes with popuation

open coral Jul 23, 2020, 4:52 PM

#

All three are pretty populated?

simple shore Jul 23, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

Aether and Primal are both populated equivalently

#

and they're both statistically equal in terms of raiding

obsidian wren Jul 23, 2020, 4:53 PM

#

aether has almost 1.5x as many TEA clears as primal

#

technically

halcyon glen Jul 23, 2020, 4:54 PM

#

Mostly because Gilgamesh carries Aether’s Raid clears by itself
