Nope
ye its hte chest that drops it not the boss
Both in chests
the book however DOES come from the boss barring some limitations**
but that's the only thing that does iirc
And like the card if that ecen means anything
e8s has a card?
I think so, i think cards drop in normal and savage
I've been clearing it so long and I never had one drop...
tf p_p
how much crystal sand do i need for the relic weapon quest ?
is scholar worth playing
Yes
seems like a lot of work for a healer
Astro is more work 
80 crystal sands? Q___Q
Dealing with cards all the time and planning out cooldowns like star and horoscope
Etc
Scholar is widely considered the king of off global healing
ima boost an astro
my ast is 70
ye
Can level scholar by doing summoner
lmao
me can't type
Whats new 
in practice, scholar is probably the easiest healer to play
because you have ruin 2 and all your gud heals are oGCD
tbh my first time through a fight
Can anyone suggest chokers that look decent on female mi'qote?
I play very passively with aetherflow
Uhhh 1.0 trailer or something?
yea
that looks like the 1.0 trailer
FFXIV (2012/2012) intro movie :
http://www.finalfantasyxiv.com/
http://na.finalfantasyxiv.com/
http://eu.finalfantasyxiv.com/
0:00 - "On Windy Meadows"
1:39 - Public Area Dungeon Battle Theme
3:14 - Waking Sands cutscene music
5:23 - "Twilight over Thanalan"
Link t...
its this
does Foul benefit from the buff Astral Fire gives?
Does undersync Heavensward extreme primals count as tank duty achievement
would anyone mind hopping in a call with me to figure out why I cant download this game? im 3 days in and I feel like iv tried everything
@peak trail in what way is it failing?
Astral fire only buffs Fire aspect skills
@Vinyl Tails#6052 how much potency do you get for each astral fire?
80% at 3 stacks
@vagrant scroll error updating patches
@woeful nacelle yes
which plays better at low level: blm or mnk?
How low
sub 50?
I heard few people discussing about Grief Tactics back from Limsa. Care to explain what that is?
BLM starts to be pretty smooth at level 40
Uhhh maybe monk since it gets most of its basic gcd earlu
yeah just checked the wiki, it's as you said
MNK is decent but its better @ 52
Blm gets its core rotation at 40 mostly
With fire/bliz 3 to swap
at least BLM has transpose
@quaint forge no idea with how little context is given
Im assuming things like using large mounts to cover up NPCs or trade-spamming others
Hmm... 
were they talking about limsa or were they just in limsa
I heard what they’re discussed about grief tactics in limsa
it could be anything that just harasses other people
black mage gets fun at around level 40 or so, then goes full awesome at 60
40? I'd say 50
40 gives you the 3rd stack of fire/ice which removes Transpose from the main rotation, speeding things up
even with firestarter at 42, all you're gonna do at those levels is spam freeze anyway
Not for single target.

well at least for me things got more fun when I got Flare
spamming flare and drinking MP pots while laughing maniacally
I'll give red mage a try this weekend
hopefully it has a smooth opener (or none at all)
hi everyone im new to the game but could someone help me? the game keeps crashing but my connection is fine. i can't do everything with this problem :/
how much is 3 milion gil for a veteran player?
something you make in a day or a week?
Can make in a day with crafters
oh wow, I see
Crafters make bank
some random dude walked to me and gave me 3 millions..
Rich in game is like 80mil+
gotcha
Enough to buy a mansion and furniture for it mostly
you mean an house?
yeah, large houses are mansions
ah okay
mansions... the real gold sink
Housing is the truest endgame 
the poor player's "rich" is 15-20mil, which can be gotten easily by doing bunny fates in pyros/hydatos
which is me, i am the poor-rich player
Im a poor poor 
same
8mil here 
I'm full on company seals. I should buy Ventures and Cordials right?
venture is good, grand company cordial are fine
yellow scrip's hi-cordial are better option
okk thanks
if you capped on venture or just don't have anything else you want to spend GC seal on, you can buy dispelling arrow and sell that to NPC for gil items and sell them to NPC for gil, you gonna work out which item(s) have the best conversion rate
does anyone have the link to the EU recruitment discord?
how do i carry more than 1 zonureskin map for treasure hunts?
tells me i can only carry 1
what's the quest that allows me to take the airship to other starter areas?
X envoy
ty I'll look out for that
@lusty hornet you can buy Glamour Prism / Glamour Dispeller with GC seals too
then if you want to convert GC seals to gils, buy Glacier Crystal (600 GC seal, sell to NPC for 360 gils)
is bio 2 the highest dot ability for sch
no
it upgrades at 72
it gets upgraded later at lvl 70+
!action biolysis
does anyone have the link to the EU recruitment discord?
@latent prism i'd take a peek inside #resources and see if there is one there
Does Emergency Tactics regen stack with adlo
Its not a regen
wat
It converts the shield from succor/adlo into raw, upfront healing
!action Emergency Tactics
Ohhhhhhhhh
Only whispering dawn (and extension angel whisper and fae union) are scholars regen
If I pop Emergency right before Galv goes off, does it apply three original amount shielded by galv or the current amount
Wait I'm being dumb
It doesn't convert galvanise thats already applied
Transforms the next
if you need insanely fat heal right now
you can Emergency Tactic + (i forgot the skill to gurantee crit) + Adlo
Recitation
thanks Vinyl
Used it so much its in my phone dictionary 
I don't have recitation yet
Only at 58
I would assume Dissipation is used on cooldown?
ehhhhh
Dissipation remove Fairy and give you stacks of Aetherflow
so it is useful when these 3 stack of aetherflow gives more value compared to having a fairy on your side at that moment
So when I run out of aetherflow I pop it
read what i wrote
Well in dungeons I would assume I would use it as much as possible
Not realllly
Remember you lose the fairy
Which is a infinite source of free healing
I think 3 aetherflow stacks and 30% healing increase makes up for me eating the fairy
om nom nom
Most the time you dont really use the extra healing up
Unless the tank is basically out of cooldowns and the trash is still alive
don't forget that you have 3 aetherflow stack coming in every 60s
thats 30 seconds of no fairy
so you either have to really be sure nothing will happen
or be very smart with your aetherflow
or gcd heal
Thats like 10+ or something of embraces lost
Seems like dissipation is useless most of the time?
not at all
So like 1500 potency of healing lost
Well embrace from my experience is minimal
dissipation is very useful
it's just a regen
great in burst windows and in a pinch
regens are some of the most useful healing in game
Its a free regen
in your opener depending on the fight, you use it before you hit aetherflow
so it is useful when these 3 stack of aetherflow gives more value compared to having a fairy on your side at that moment
/\
for more energy drains
Imagine if White mage had a permanent regen
!action regen
Well 3 stacks of aetherflow is 1,800 when the embraces I get out of 30s in 1,500
what about fairy skills?
if it is THAT easy, we would have said "yeah, dissipation on cooldown"
The 150 pot heal is something
I guess you need to only use it when you really need the Aetherflow.
is there a way to make the same armor set have 2 different glamours? like having the edencall fending set use both the GNB and DRK artifact glamour
No
yes?
i mean technically it's switching between 2 glamours
oh
oh, i didn't read part two
no on part 2
you can make the glamour
i am having a brain fart
you can have GNB on glamour plate X and DRK on glamour plate Y but you would need to be in a city to switch between the 2 glams
Glamour plates doesn't work outside cities and housing area's.
Annoying cevat.
One day 
Dissipation is good for removing Living Dead. Hit the DK with 6 Lustrates.
No
or is that a seperate ability
Consolation is its own ability
consolation is a separate skill
running out of keybinds here
Whispering dawn triggers angel whisper

sch doesnt even have that many keybinds
You can also save the aetherflow stacks until the fairy is back for 30 extra Fairy Gauge. But it's quite suboptimal.
Spending aether wihout fairy won't add to the gauge.
What's the difference between a free company and a fellowship? Fellowship seems like FC-lite
Fellowship are message boards
fellowship is basically just a message board
me and a friend just started the trial version, but in different starting hubs. We are both around level 15, and we were wondering when we would be able to cross paths. I started as archer, and he started as an arcanist. so is there like a ballpark for when this could occur.
Oh ok, haven't tried fellowship yet
aight ty
Lv15 main scenario X envoy
Is when you'll travel to other cities and meet up
Remember to attune to aetherytes
yup
are there only 2 spells that actually use aethergage
Aetherpact and Fey Blessing.
I mean Fey Union, mb
One is basically a Team Fortress 2 Medic beam on a target, spends 10 gauge per tick. The other is a 60 sec cd partywide heal.
Oooh
thanks for explaining that
i thought fey union just puts ur pet on a target
basically a follow
I bought the standard edition, but the activation code isnt allowing me to transfer my account to full?
They move closer to the target so the fairy can be initial range of the tether
what platform is the trial and what platform did you buy
Then it just sits there
PC
windows
i can reactive aetherpact to disspiate the union right
you downloaded the windows trial and bought it for windows?
Yes
Does changing "Cutscene Audio" to Japanese also make character speech in raids that language too?
@sturdy mason yes
TY

for player character speech it doesnt change anything
@remote lintel yes
are you sure youre entering the code into the right place on mogstation
is there any way to hide MopiMopi when I'm not in battle etc? It's basically visible 24/7
account services -> transfer to regular service
Are there already English subtitles during cutscenes? I don't remember
yes void
Just to be clear I'm referring to the ones that do not show the dialog box at the bottom
i know what youre talking about
Ok thank you then
whats the error its giving you aexonia
NVM IFOUND THE PROBLEM
I WAS DUMB, BOUGHT THE EXPANSION BUT NOT AND ACTUAL COPY OF THE ACTUAL GAME

are people really that stupid that they think they can scam me with fake S/E websites
You be very surprised at who falls for it
uhm excuse me sir i can see the domain for that website based on the link is .ru
just bcause u put .com means its not a scam
fr these people
And usually the character sending it belonged to someone who fell for it
^
im just gonna guess once u got to their website
theyll ask you to login
to view the thread
yep
Yep
wow thats so basic
They take all account information, including the 2FA
i did it once and immediately realized and then changed my password
not that specific pm
but another one
And quickly log on to the 2FA you put in is still valid and boots you
scummy people are scummy
Yep
obvious scam is obvious tho
made me chuckle
also only awy to get faerie gauge
is by spending flow
Yes
While the fairy is out
So using gauge while the fairy is away, either cause you forgot to summon it or due to dissipation means you get no gauge
Excog, lustrate, indom, soil and energy drain
Drain lustrate indo and soil
5
Do note you do get fae gauge when you use a flow skill via Recitation
just 1 right
ok gotcha
Are the lower level dungeons harder to find people for?
Not really
They're in roulettes
So they pop eventually
As high level people get put into them and synced to the dungeon level
What do higher level players gain from this?
Extra XP
Argh
And other stuff
Lost the two do’s
When done via roulette
do i have to place my fairy down
or i can just drag her along
in lets say
trials
You ideally place her somewhere, so she stays in range to heal while you go off and do mechanics
But you can get by
By dragging her around
For the most part
as a summoner do you need to micro manage your pet/summon?
To a small extent yes
You place the pet close to the boss then use Sic
To get it attacking immediately
Otherwise you run the risk of ghosting/losing actions later when you get other abilities
Due to how wonderful pet ai is
when will onion knight be a playable class 
ahh I just wanna be a samurai but I'm 20 :
You dont have to worry about it when low level
me and my friends would like to try out this game, if they start a trial account, and i buy normal/subscription. will we be able to play as a party from the start? from what i read it looks like i can then invite us to a party?
well I'm on a preferred server, so I was told I may as well level 2 classes at once
so I'm trying to pick my 2nd one
You don't have to level two jobs simultaneously.
and is it possible to take two classess at the start? so that we can level together, but if someone wants to play when not everyone is there they can play on the second class?
You can get to 50 as your first job, then pick up SAM on the side.
You can pick another class once you do your lv10 class quest
@simple pine You can't take a second job until you've completed your first job's level 10 quest and complete the quest "Sylph Management"
Then you can pick up all of them
will they be able to do that as a trial account?
yyes
Yes
and then in august when the trial expands, their trail automatically expands also right?
Trials account and do pretty much every content they have access to, baring social limitations and potd
it should wilco
I doubt it wont
🤷♂️
its likely
This has always confused me:
Aren't item levels synced in every duty?
Why do specific duties point this out
Yes
However if you just level sync. It puts you to the highest ilvl you can gry
So if they didn't ilvl sync, you could do that trial with i500
And MURDER it
Its why the 50 8man dungeons just melt
Oh so
is there a way to show my pet's dps?
Opposed to 50
You can use ACT if you're on PC, but I don't know whether pet dps is calculated separately
If a duty specifically points out i-level sync, that means if you do it unsynced it still syncs your item level to it? However, anything that doesn't have this icon will NOT sync your item level if you do it unsynced?
Unsync ignores all sync rules
But when you do sync it, it places a additional sync to your ilvl
Yes
kk
Otherwise it places you with the highest ilvl of that level period
oh what
So wait
If I do Satasha unsynced, it still lowers my itemlevel to ARR levels?
Its why it only shows up on level cap dungeons, or instance that bled to level caps
It places you with either the highest possible ilevel for that content OR your current ilevel, whichever is lower.
It will never sync your ilevel up
Unsync REMOVES and ignore any and all sync rules
It only applies when you do it normally
When you do satasha sync, you're Broughy down to that level and your gear is capped to the highest ilvl of that period
If I enable Undersized Party, then any dungeon I do will not affect my gear stats. However, if the duty has the "itemlevel will be synced" then even if I do undersized party it'll sync my itemlevel, but not my character's level
Is this correct?

if you toggle undersized party on then you ignore all dungeon rules
Cause you dont sync down in any shape or form
do the end-game dungeons of every expansion
have an addtional notice for itemlevel sync
Most yes
Because your gear are too powerful later in the expansions? Compared to the earlier lvl 80 dungeons
So it literally doesn't melt like Castrum does
...?
That's not what I'm asking
I know I can't join castrum with ilevel 500
okay, here
let me use this example
Castrum doesn't have the notice so it brings you down to i130
Which ShB map has the most people actively doing Fates? Tempest?
However things like Snowcloak do
What are the differences there
in those dungeons
They're all level 70
and if I join one without an icon, i still get itemlevel synced anyways
Temple of the fist brings you to 70 and syncs your gesr to 360?
whats the best way to level through pagos? just mob grinding?
However stuff like Burn came later
On top of Level sync, they add a layer of item level sync
So the extra gear limit isnt needed
Hell's Lid, I would join and I get synced to the highest iLevel of that expansion, so say 400.
Temple of the Fist however, would lower me down to 340.
Is that what you're saying?
Yes
Yes
Okay
Again, its so shit doesn't die immediately
That's just weird though. Why do it for some of the dungeons and not all
That's what the dev decide
Because the normal sync is enough for most dungeons
It is enough for the purpose it is meant for
True I guess
They can go in and tune the ilvl sync perfectly for each dungeons, they just don't
Basically dungeons that came later are fine without the extra sync, as the normal sync rules is enough to give some challenge
They're just like, "Okay, for this Level 69 dungeon, faceroll. But for this 70 one, we want it to be a bit tougher, so no faceroll."
But dungeons that camr early in the expansion would be face rolls without.it
Like i said earlier, the lv79 trial has it
If iy didn't
We could enter it with i500
And murder the fuck out of it
And have it be no challenge at all
So its to stop facerolling the early content
Since it bleeds into an area where ilvl massively goes up
And we avoid another Castrun/praetorium
Yeah, since there is no more leveling they put another restriction
is the airship landing in limsa lominsa lower decks?
this map is so hard to read for verticality lol
You can get to it from.upper and lower by the elevator npc
The npc in the upper decks is at the inn
At lower decks east out of the aetheryte
Away from the market
bulwark hall
@wanton shadow
I suggest getting all the aetherytes(?) in the city. Upon doing so, you gain the ability to teleport to the gates of the city or the airship landing of the city
I got the one in the lower level + acn guild
Get all of them
In fact, make it a habit. Every time you enter a new city, get all the aether crystals asap
^
It makes life a whole lot easier teleporting around the city
true ok, good idea
Especially in ARR, where they LOVE sending you around the city
You'll be revisiting the cities aloooooooooooooot
Especially when you do other jobs for their class quests
oh yeah so now that I unlocked the airship, do I need to go to the airship in every city to travel or is there an item for it lol
when i did the quest I was given a mini airship or somethin
Are there discord servers for eureka specifically? Its next to impossible to find anyone interested in going and soloing is impossible unless you're ok with dying over and over again and losing all your progress.
Yes
Some for callouts for making money
Which are also
some very important items in eureka to farm
Yes @leaden ginkgo
I can't link em atm, busy
Is it possible to obtain gown of eternal innocence without actually marrying someone? I remember someone telling me I can, but I forgot the steps

don't think so
Can u pinpoint on a map
control + right click
places a flag on the map (and puts <flag> in your chat bar, which links to where you placed the flag)
Okay, so. If I marry someone to get the marriage glamour, can I divorce and still keep them?
If i keep swapling between ice and fire as black mage how is it percieved? Is it good
You swap to ice to regain mana, and fire for damage, I think
you don't want to just keep swapping between fire and ice. Ice spells in astral fire do less damage, fire spells in ice do less damage. So yeah, fire for damage, ice for MP regen
!faq blmleveling
Hello! New player here, which server is the most noob friendly? Planning to play whm. Im still downloading the game atm. Im casual player probably around 4-6hours of play time a day. I want to raid but in a non hardcore manner.
for a bit of an idea of what to do throughout the leveling process
@mossy tartan yeah you'd keep the glamour pieces
Oh i know that but just in general if i do it for the right astral im doing good? And what about multiple enemies how would that work
there's an AoE section in that image as well, for what to do with multiple enemies
What stat should I be leveling for this relic quest with my crystal sand?
Does it matter?
it doesn't matter, it's mostly for glamour anyways
Okay good. Is there a stat that is particularly easier to level then for completion
What does limited battle effects do exactly?
Hello! New player here, which server is the most noob friendly? Planning to play whm. Im still downloading the game atm. Im casual player probably around 4-6hours of play time a day. I want to raid but in a non hardcore manner.
@grave totem I’d say every server has all types of people, the diversity is so big
You will find casuals, hard cores, RPers, crafters, gatherers in 1 server
Or are all the stats the same in terms of leveling?
I don't know what to do.
I just want to get my relic to the next stage.
are all servers active? and when they become unactive do they merge or free transfer?
Is there way to see how long my dot last?
As far as I know here in Europe every server is highly active
Probably the same for other regions
all stats are the same to get in that step, it really doesn't matter @mild ermine
pick whatever suits your fancy
Do I just dump it all into one stat then?
in the past when a server became unactive what did they do to mitigate it? or has that not happened yet
well you'll eventually have to go for at least one other stat
but sure
all servers are pretty active and content is cross-server within your data center. Plus you can world visit other servers within your data center
Yeah because it doesnt say like how much of a stat i need to proceed , or if i need to cap or anything
I see thanks @mossy tartan i was thinking like each server has its own culture and stuff and was afraid i might choose the hardcore one and wont be able to keep up xD
I see thanks @mossy tartan i was thinking like each server has its own culture and stuff and was afraid i might choose the hardcore one and wont be able to keep up xD
@grave totem don’t worry about it. The community is lovely and you will mostly be showered with positivity, especially playing as a healer
@strong saddle the tooltip of the action states the duration
And sorry for all the questions. Getting materials, and poetics takes so much time, and I want to make sure I'm not wasting anything.
Thx
Or that I'm using my resources as best as I can.
I think thunder 1/3 are 21 or 24 seconds and 2/4 are 12
@simple pine there's server crossplay between the Worlds in a Data Center. Also they try to enforce even distribution of players among all Worlds by allowing free transfers from overpopulated to underpopulated servers.
Thats cool to hear @mossy tartan i come from WoW and there its either you do good parse or you get shit on. I cant wait for my download to finish😅
You will quickly find that for all the similarities that exist, FFXIV is nothing like WoW
There's a tiny bit of that in very high end content. But very little.
also you can get banned from shitting on people's parses, as parsers are against ToS per se, but it's a gray area.
Technically speaking, running a parser is against ToS in XIV, so people make it a point to not advertise that they're doing so.
Are there any sort of add ons on this game? Like dps meters or deadly boss mods or weakauras etc?
Oh nvm xD you just answered my question looll
Unnecessary. Also against ToS.
There's ACT/Cactbot which is a parser like Details and reports to fflogs (which is the same site as warcraftlogs)
Another one would be reshade to make your game look nicer, usually good for screenshot
Devs allow parsers as a tool for selfimprovement, not to harass.
Things like DBM and WA aren't necessary though, as the functions that those serve in WoW are baked into the system for XIV
So if you parse, keep it to yourself or people you trust.
Yeah, not so early on, but on later content the game does a great job at showing you what's happening and what killed you.
There's some inconsistency with mechanics markers in ARR content, but once you hit HW things get more standardized and remain the same for the rest of the game. So if you see a particular marker for a mechanic in one instance, the same mechanic will always be telegraphed the same way going forward.
When will it be the day they retroactively implement markers on old content? 😦
"Please look forward to it" 
Yeah, but then what would you do about Summon 1 and 3? Have them share E6?
I guess? you get both from E6.
Heh Heh
Wheres horizon?
In Western Thanalan
If you're in Ul'dah and don't have the teleport point, take the Gate of the Sultana exit and head down the stairs to Scorpion Crossing, then turn right and follow the road across the bridge.
Follow the MSQ until you get the quest "The La Noscean Envoy"
how many more after feint and strike?
Three more quests.
thank you
And it's actually "The Lominsan Envoy", not La Noscean, sorry 😄
You're in the tutorial.
i cant wait to get out of this area so i can play with my friend
im new and want to ask if jobs in this game really important or u could ignore them and still be fine at end game ?
You can level with a single class (job) for the entire MSQ for 1-80 with no issues.
This is keeping in mind that the lexicon for this game qualifies both combat classes and gathering/production classes as "jobs".
errhh i love carpenter but not sure how that job could clear a dungeon 😄
CRP is a profession, not a job
oh thought you meant like, battle/fighting jobs
You can ignore DoH/DoL content and clear the game just fine
^
They're not required content, they're basically an entirely separate progression unrelated to the 1-80 story
You can't finish base ShB without finishing one of the chains of role quests right?
no
They're not required content, they're basically an entirely separate progression unrelated to the 1-80 story
@open coral i see ty
@leaden ginkgo and ty 😄
it specifically tells u at a certain quest
that theyre required to finish SHB
@dense pier
im a warrior of light so i think fighting and shit is more like my profession others are jobs :))
jobs are basically classes in this game
yeah that is my mistake
crafting/gathering classes are called disciples of the hand/land

DoH and DoL for short
so on my crafting log i only got smithing and armorcraft, how do i get goldsmith and leatherworker?
You have to unlock those professions
get access
GSM is in Ul'dah, LTW is in Gridania
i see
ty
also does repairing equipment increase their lvl? or i gotta craft these items in order to lvl up that profession?
Repairing does not increase the level of your crafting jobs, no
Where can i buy ryumryaku gear
rhalgrs reach iirc
i cant find it
only augment vendor
and the vendor for poetic only sells ryumryaku weapons
nvm
Ryumaku gear should be under the DoM/DoW I categories.
DoM/DoW II is always the final tier.
How are the queue times for dps, tanks and healers? Like estimate waiting times?
i normally get through dungeon queues in <15min as DPS
Tanks and healers generally have very quick queues <5 minutes. DPS will frequently have queues over 10m
instant for tank
dps probably 20 min, tanks anywhere from insta to about 10 min, healers insta
It depends a lot on time of day and datacenter region
I see. Thanks! Dps queue times not that bad then
Not usually no.
late nights for your time zone usually 30 mins
trying to get a queue late at night or during the day can take like 30m
peak 7
what are "trials" in the party finder
boss fights
dungeons are dungeons, trials are just boss fights, normal raids are like glorified trials
hey I have some questions about the game
is there a way to see which aethernet destinations you've unlocked in the city via the minimap?
Would Gubal be better for leveling than any of the 60 dungeons?
but you can see in teleport menu
noob question, how do i enter a dungeon lol
duty finder
If I’ve played some of the free trial then buy the game using the same email can I not use the 30 day bonus that comes with buying it
Would Gubal be better for leveling than any of the 60 dungeons?
@crimson wind Yes. The level 60 dungeons won't give a ton of xp because they weren't designed to do so in the first place.
30 days are from the Starter Edition so you should be good
k thank you
noob question, how do i enter a dungeon lol
@zenith pasture Either use the duty finder, or click on the white glowing portal at the entrance location (which will open the duty finder menu with that instance checked)
i see party finder, is that the samething?
No, party finder is something entirely different
Party finder is a way to form a full group on your own, under your own terms.
how do i access the duty finder (hot key or location)
Main Menu > Duty > Duty Finder
i see it, ty.
I'd give you the hotkey, but I play on PS4 with a controller, so I don't actually know what the hotkey is for kbm input.
I think the default is U
yea its default U for kbm
I usually dont answer on those though because ive changed the majority of my default UI keybinds
so i played a while back, and it looks like i was making profit from selling iron, and it looks like ive invested a lot in smithing/armorcraft is it worth to lvl it up more? currently lvl 24 armorer. also is there like a max lvl for the profession?
If my friend who has trial rn were to buy starter edition, he wouldn't get heavensward right cus that expansion thing comes on Aug 11?
All classes and jobs have a level cap of 80
Max level for crafting/gathering professions is the same as max level for combat classes.
but checking the prices for iron now, it looks pretty low compared to when it was
Well yeah. You're talking about a material that's not only no longer a "primary material", but one that can literally be bought from a vendor
@ornate gale Players who have the starter edition when the update happens on the 11th will have their starter edition updated as well.
What we don't know is whether trial players will also benefit from that update.
Like current trial players?
Right
Basically, we suspect that current trial players will probably benefit from the update, but we're not positive because they haven't said anything definitive
if you mouse over Iron Ingot you'll see "Shop Selling Price" on it. anything with that phrase on it is something a vendor somewhere sells. if it says "(Restricted)" it means that its locked behind something, usually a beast tribe rep.
In this case it isnt even restricted. You can just flat out buy Iron Ingots from basic vendors (housing merchants if memory serves) for 68 gil.
Right now if you want to make money with crafting, you pretty much need to :
A. make housing items
B. Make items that are used for ishgardian restoration power levelling
C. Make Neo-Ishgardian gear at 80 (that will see a surge in demand soon most likely)
D. Make anything that is a turnin for something that someone is too lazy / unable to make themselves.
There's more of course, but those are the basic easy ones
in terms of basic to explain, not basic to do
E. Make high-demand glamour items

do current EXs not have as harsh of a dps check as savages
Ruby Weapon is the most current, and it's about on par with E6S for dps requirements, I think.
Hades was the previous gear tier
I meant memoria
@open coral but the whole starter edition upgrade is confirmed right?
Memoria should be on par with Savage for dps requirements

@ornate gale Yes. They did specifically state that everyone with the Starter Edition would have the limits raised to the new cap and MSQ point.
Gotcha
Hello, how hard is it to get a static? Since i am tired to Do pf E8S and getting trapped on LR. I have been searching the Recruiment reddit but they are mostly from Ultimates or starting 8s, i just want clean reclears.
At this point in the tier it will be pretty hard. Most statics are either done with their clears, or are doing E7S/E8S progression rather than E5S.
party finder usually has clear parties
And since it's several months in, with the next tier not up for another 5-ish months yet, most statics won't be recruiting for progression either.
what kinda glamour pieces are there in soul of the creator savage?
i see a pf up and not sure what there is to obtain
Ughh That is sad, i just want to clear e8s consistantly, since i am missing only one piece to be BiS. Well damm it PUGs it is then ...
A12S drops a mount, chest gear, weapons, and a minion, iirc
yes

You get left side gear + weapon from the MSQ NPC who isn't Grenolt but looks like him after you give him the stone you got from completing the role quest.
All the class quests I did before always awarded something that I'd probablym end up using for glam
oh?
When's that?
He turns into a vendor
Must be after I finished base MSQ
Uhh... level 80 MSQ
Kk
There's a point where, if you haven't finished your role quests, the MSQ will specifically tell you that you can't go on without doing so. Because Not-Grenolt requires inspiration, which he can only get from the stone you get in the course of the level 80 role quest.
this is more of a question about the series, but why are black mages called black mages?
they seem to fulfill the mage role in rpg, but they sound like they do the dark arts
oh, so the role quest isn't just there for the lv80 class quest
I got some silver feathers from my friend referral, what's the best way to use them?
Most likely because elemental magic has often been tied to the "dark arts", historically. Black Mage has just always been what they call elemental mages in the FF franchise @spare plinth
@elfin edge Nope! They tied it in with the MSQ so you have to do at least one of them!
@spare plinth you can figure it out when you do the job quests
Ah okay; I'm still in the middle of SB but I saw the message they put up for finishing the lv70 class quest
@leaden ginkgo You can use them to purchase glamour items from the Calamity Salvager iirc.
Is it a good idea to leave quests I’m way higher than so I have things to do if I come through with another Job?
@spare plinth black mages are called black because they perform forbidden spells and their ancestors caused obliteration with those spells
are optional and have crap exp no matter what. Do
no matter your level
Unless you maxed out
Is it a good idea to leave quests I’m way higher than so I have things to do if I come through with another Job?
@halcyon grail yeah, for alt jobs, the best thing to do is let those quests available
Then maybe use a different job to eat exp from 
If you mean in the whole series. Black mage do damage. White mage heals. That was the simplest explanation in ff1 so people immediately knew what they do.
some side quests can gear you up too
Are guildleves helpful for raising jobs?
the earlier craftleves are useful for crafters
If you mean in the whole series. Black mage do damage. White mage heals. That was the simplest explanation in ff1 so people immediately knew what they do.
@whole wasp they just want to know why they're called "Black" because they think it's just the generic elemental caster
this is more of a question about the series, but why are black mages called black mages?
@leaden ginkgo
How do i go about locking my hot bars so i cant edit them when attacking?
Click the lockpad at the end of the hotbar 1
yeah, and if you've done the job quests, they explain why it's called black and not white or red or blue
What's the best way to level crafters from 60-70? Ishgard restoration? Leves? Something else?
I cant set it between attacking and not attacking?
I thought they qere asking more generally in the final fantasy as a series which is not infomation you can get in-game.
@deft quiver ishgard and customs.
alright
Leve is very good source but it is limited by your level quota, if it ran out, you can't submit level and you gonna wait for it to regen (3 leve per 12 hours, 99 max)
@wicked lark no. Just click the lockpad again to open for editing. Theres no combat functions. :<
Ishgard is good in that you can grind it hard over a weekend
Leves can also be expensive compared to ishgard. If you have $$,courier leves are pretty fast too.
Cause I want to know if I need to get my healer role quest done too
Equipment, i430
Equipment but its low ilvl.
So definitely, then
Paladins are supposed to gather their power through deity devotion, but in this game they're just fancy gladiators that found a stone
That's better than what I got lol
There's....story reasons to complete all the role quests, as well
Eh
Something unlocks once you complete all four
gives us equipment or glam?
@dense pier Sort of. You'll finish the MSQ that asks you to give him inspiration, and then he'll turn into a "vendor" who distributes free gear for any job that you have completed the level 80 role quest for
I never really cared for the story quests for classes, except for the end of AST and the end of PLD ARR
Yeah but this is "First" story, not "Class" story.
@simple shore
Can you tell me in #archived-lore-spoilers ? Is it gear, or just vanity stuff
Oh
Lore reasons.
Doing all 4 is just vanity
Ah kk
One of these days I'll level a tank and get the fifth story.
@leaden ginkgo basically. Halone is well-respected as the deity of war and paladins call upon her. If you havent noticed, each city-state is devoted to a single deity.
Halone is no exception
Between Sch and Ast which of the two are more viable?
They are all viable but ast unlocks later.
Reasonable enough.
AST is probably the most "difficult" healer to play, if that's a factor.
A bad AST is very obvious compared to a bad WHM/SCH.

when should we expect info on moonfire 2020?
how does lightspeed work with rezz
Exactly how it works for everything else
??
Read the tooltip?
I did lightspeed and rezz and it didn't work
it takes 2.5s off rez, reduces cost by 50%
Define "didnt work"
oh right
it doesnt make it instant, just shorter
I love playing AST
Yeah it literally says that on the tooltip for Lightspeed.
I'm so used to lightspeed making things insta 
It feels so satisfying getting off those malefics, cards, and keeping tank/everyone alive with oGCDs without missing a beat
but then it feels less satisfying when you see your dps...

Can I do anything with collectibles I can't turn in?
Throw them on the ground
Yeah.
If its below minimum collectability its garbage
right-click and Reduce Quality
Darn for real? Just useless? ;w;
or, yeah, you could do that
Can't you lower it's quality
and it will become a normal item
lower quality, vendor or dismantle
I ... dunno.
Still not gonna get much out of it
I cant vendor
Better than the ground
to be used, sold, or vendored
Ohhhh
You can reduce quality, turning it from collectible to a normal item
Better than nothing I suppose
Yeah
once it's a regular item, you can sell it or dismantle it to get some materials back
The higher your desynthesis the more you get back
It's under-collectible value
no point hoarding it
he'll never be able to turn it in
Besides
Hoarding is only for people who have real life $$ to spare
are you calling me poor?
😦
because you pay for additional retainers
I don't pay
Then idk how you can hoard with only 2 retainers lol
very slowly
Slowly hoarding doesn't increase the slots of your retainers lol
How do I increased the collectability rating? Is it mostly gear based? It's a level 60 collectible and most of my gear is 61-62 HQ
But I can't seem to get 450 consistently
If your gear is 61-62 hq and you can't get a collectible of level 60 higher level...
Karma what specific item are you trying to craft
and what is your current Craftsmanship / Control / CP
You need to do some research or the item you are trying to craft is too stronk
Not craft but gather in this case.
Oh nvm then
Well, there's 2 methods to it
There's a rotation for that too but
The 600gp method, or the "rng" method
Much different
and frankly i havent done gathering collectables since i came back from hiatus so i have no idea what current rotations are
Sorry about the font, the person who made it made a poor choice of font lol
At least its not fucking comic sans
This font is harder to read than comic sans
Comic sans is at least easily legible
@mild ermine
The rotation is basically, Impulsive Appraisal spam. If you get a Discerning Eye proc, you then spam Instinctual Appraisal.
This method is pure RNG, so you can collect stuff without ever spending a single point of GP
My friend taught me this earlier.
Is there a more consistent method that isn't rng?
You mentioned 600gp
Not really
I mean
RNG is a factor regardless
Unless you somehow are able to only use the not-RNG appraisal, which generally you cant
The 600gp method just tries to brute force it
There is this
With this, you open with discerning eye
and if no proc, use discerning eye again
basically
it's brute forcing it, instead of relying on rng
Though idk if that'd be better
Since I like the rng 1 a lot more since I can cover a lot more timed nodes
Just carry 99 hi-cordials on you, obviously.
cooldowns
I know
yea i use that one, i always get the required collectability, the only difference RNG wise is how many i get
between 3 to 5 on procs
what's advisable to level first, gatherers or crafters?
or is there a leveling guide for that stuff?
Gatherers
They level much faster/easier, and having them levelled will allow you to supply your crafters
gatherers are extremely easy to level, a few hours in the diadem and you can go 10-80
crafters are not as easy to boost, as they require some materials from the Diadem and some materials from outside it to make their boosts
buying mats for ishgard is cheap
idk. diadem mats are cheap. not-diadem mats are not.
Hahaha, except when the ishgard restoration items require something everone DESPISES to farm for
so its super expensive
Tiger leathers go for like 5k each on my server. I wouldnt qualify that as cheap, for example.
Not when you need ~100+ of them
Weaver is decently cheap ime, but it did cost me a little bit to grind, as an example
ishgard restoration makes everything very easy to grind to max with
I just want to get my botanist to 80 while working on collecting yellow scripts for blue scripts for, crystal sand, for my relic.
.... Wow.
No
you cannot control who appears on-screen
you can change the color of your party member's name plate so its easier to see

Yeah if the default blue green ain't cutting it for you
When does the patch go out
Patch 5.3 will be Aug 11, servers likely going down starting Aug 10
Best zone to do leves as a lvl 70 miner with no access to SB?
does new game+ force you to redo dungeons as well
Should
diadem
maybe not there yet in MSQ?
msq locked i think
like I have a lv 71 main but still only like halfway thru SB heh
@simple shore I play at a slow pace to enjoy the game
I have only recently unlocked Rhalgar's Reach
oh wow, you're even further back than I am lol
When you are a lvl 76 DRG and everyone constantly asks why tf you still not in ShB
change class
Have they made artifact weapon quests any easier?
relic
Thats the one
I think the drop rates might have gotten boosted since they were first introduced?
for shadowbringers yes
